Chapter 346, the soldiers are approaching Taiyuan City

When Qin Chuan arrived with the main force, the lynx had already captured three groups of people who were harvesting wheat.

One group is the group of Zhuang households in the Jin Dynasty's mansion, and the other two groups are the long-term workers and tenants of the two large households in Taiyuan, adding up to nearly 1,000 people.

The lynx also broke through a village, killed some of the clansmen of the two large families in the village, and tied up some of them, leaving only some old and young women and children, and each family left two hundred stone of grain and five hundred taels of silver.

Of course, all this money and grain were copied from the two big families, and a total of more than 8,000 stone of grain, 6,000 taels of silver, 120 taels of gold, a sack of jewelry, more than 240 pieces of cloth, more than 1,700 cattle, sheep, mules and horses, 120 mules and carriages, and more than 400 chicken carts.

According to Qin Chuan's instructions, the lynx brought out the long-term workers and tenants of the two large households, as well as the poor peasants in the village, by coercion and inducement.

Those ordinary people didn't move, this was specially explained by Qin Chuan, and they didn't rob them of a grain of grain.

Qinchuan wants to be famous, and only when he conquers the city can he get the support of those ordinary people in the future, so as to attract more people to take the initiative to vote.

Even, Qin Chuan only took 20% of the grain produced in the fields of those tenants, and the remaining 80% belonged to themselves, and guaranteed that after they went to Loufu, they would only receive 20% of the rent.

Taiyuan is not far from Lou Fu, most of the things that happened there were spread to various places by traders, and the common people in Shanxi knew that Lou Fu that Qin General was a good man who robbed the rich and helped the poor and benefited the Li people.

In addition, the Qin general also borrowed grain from the families of those who ran out of grain, and asked the common people to repair roads and reservoirs, and even paid back the wages.

This General Qin is simply a living bodhisattva in the world.

Therefore, the vast majority of the tenants and poor peasants were very happy to go to Lou Fu, and the lynx only flickered a few words, and then secretly threatened a few words, and they picked up their trousers one after another, and went down to the field to cut wheat, and when they had finished cutting the autumn grain of the big families, they would pack their bags and transport the grain to Lou Fu, and from then on they would settle down in the mountain pimple, which was known as a paradise.

Qin Chuan gave another 2,000 soldiers and horses to the lynx, as well as 200 flintlock guns, 20 rifled guns, 50 small Francophone cannons and 50 tiger squat cannons, and asked his troops to attack more than ten nearby villages by different routes, and get more food and population.

Qin Chuan himself led 5,000 main forces and marched straight towards Taiyuan City.

After less than a quarter of an hour, Ye Bu Hui suddenly came to report: Cai Ju, the Dong Li Shi brothers, and the Franco missionary Luo Zixi, as well as fourteen Guan Di soldiers were released by the Ming army, and they were rushing to converge under the escort of Ye Bu Hui.

This was beyond Qin Chuan's expectations.

He didn't expect that the Ming army would take the initiative to release people, and release them so quickly.

Surprised, Qin Chuan led the red-clothed attendant to take the initiative to meet him, and saw dozens of fast horses coming from a distance.

When he got closer, Qin Chuan saw clearly, there were more than ten people who were unkempt and bloodstained, in addition to the Ju Pickers, there was also a thin Taoist in a tattered gray robe, who should be the junior brother of the Chrysanthemum Pickers.

There was also a blonde man next to him, who should be the incompetent Francois missionary Luo Zixi.

In addition, there were fourteen Guan Emperor soldiers, and several of them seemed to be injured and had been lying on the saddle.

When they turned over and dismounted, Qin Chuan also dismounted to greet them, arched his hand and smiled: "This is the head of the East Fence Road, right?" And Mr. Luo Zixi, welcome, welcome, both of you have suffered. ”

Cai Ju Sanren hurriedly introduced the two of them, and after learning that the extraordinary man in front of him was the famous General Qin, Dong Li and Luo Zixi hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, and said respectfully: "I have seen the general, thank you for the rescue." ”

Na Luo Zixi spoke half-baked Chinese, and the salute was also a compilation ceremony of the Ming Dynasty.

"Eh, you're welcome, they're all your own brothers, don't be so outside."

Qin Chuan smiled and patted the two of them on the shoulder, and then turned his gaze to the fourteen Guan Emperor soldiers who had just been released.

"See General."

Those Guan Emperor soldiers knelt down in unison.

"General, we have not been able to protect the Taoist Chief, please punish the general."

"Eh, outnumbered, what's the crime?" Android

Qin Chuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will avenge my brothers." ”

"Thank you, General!"

The dozen or so Guan Emperor soldiers stood up,

At this time, Luo Zixi on the side suddenly came over and asked politely: "General, may I ask who wrote the content on those two pieces of paper?" ”

Qin Chuan smiled and pointed at himself: "I wrote it." ”

"Huh?"

Luo Zixi was a little surprised, looked at Qin Chuan a few more times hesitantly, and then sighed inexplicably, and said in the tone of a great Ming literati: "The general is rich in five cars, and he has seen people, I am ashamed of myself." ”

"Hahahaha, Mr. has won the prize". Qin Chuan raised his head and laughed a few times,

"May I ask the general, is there any evidence for the theory that water is composed of hydrogen atoms and oxygen yards?"

"Hmm...... Mr. can go back to the Black Mountain Fort first, which has built a solid laboratory for the two of them, and the two of them will naturally be able to find evidence in the meantime. ”

Speaking of this, Qin Chuan seemed to sound something, and asked several Guan Dijun: "How many glasses have you bought?" ”

A Guan Dijun's face suddenly became resentful: "General, I originally bought one hundred and twenty cups of all kinds, but all of them were robbed by the Ming army on the road, and there was not a single one left. ”

Qin Chuan frowned: "Robbed?" ”

"Yes, Wang Zhong, the chief soldier of Taiyuan City, did it, and all the glasses were taken away by him."

"Hmm."

Qin Chuan nodded, and said, "Let's send the two Dao Masters and Mr. Luo back to Lou Fu first, and then ...... Let's go get Taiyuan City. ”

"Yes."

……

The news of the Qinchuan army pressing the border has long been transmitted back to Taiyuan City.

Wang Zhong, the commander-in-chief of Shanxi, hurriedly dispatched troops to prepare more equipment to defend the city and strengthen the defense.

The prince of Jin, the king of Ninghua and other royal clansmen also hurriedly dispatched their own guards and strong men, and sent them all to the head of the city to prepare to participate in the defense of the city.

All the big families in the city have also left their homes to protect the homes, and paid money and grain to recruit the people, etc.

Only a day later, when the new governor Wu Fu climbed the north city wall to inspect the defense, a black line suddenly appeared on the field in the northwest direction.

Wu Fu frowned and stared.

After a moment, his face suddenly changed.

The black line is an army.

"Qin Chuan is here! Prepare to defend the city, hurry up! ”

Wu Fu, who came back to his senses, hurriedly ripped open his throat and shouted loudly.

Wang Zhong, who was doing nothing behind him, shuddered and hurriedly ran towards the city.

The entire Taiyuan City soon boiled, and the officials and officials in official uniforms, the guards of the palace, the guards of the gentry clan, etc., began to run around and go to the head of the city to assist in defending the city.

Not long after, Qin Chuan led 5,000 Guan Emperor's army to the outside of Taiyuan City.
