Chapter 112: Killing
The gun pierced into the human body is a huge blood hole, the blood does not stop, people lose their strength in an instant, many bandits were stabbed and fell to the ground after bowing, their mouths were open but they couldn't make any sound, they didn't even have the strength to scream, they bowed like shrimp, tears did not stop, people rolled on the ground, but soon lost their strength, there was no pain, their eyes began to dilute, and then their pupils dilated, they lost their breath, and at this time, they were also relieved.
Cut by a knife, the buttress is not necessarily fatal, but they are too frightened, bleeding nonstop, screaming, and will soon run out of physical energy, in this era of lack of medical treatment, no qualified and effective first aid measures, most of them are also difficult to save their lives.
As for those who are struck by the fire, they either have their heads shattered, or their entire chests dented, or their arms and legs broken, and so on.
Blood flowed across the battlefield, killing endlessly, screaming and groaning endlessly.
A few miles away, there are a lot of lively people, when the two sides of the contact began, some boring and bold scoundrels are still cheering outside the battlefield, they are making up their minds, the flag army is not defeated by them and they run quickly, but they are not too afraid, bandits and pirates are obviously running to the 300th household, they are poor households or flag army, bandits and pirates should not be very interested, see the situation is not good, and run away.
Some pedestrians, travelers, businessmen, etc., the timid ones have already left, and they ran to the direction of Qianhusuo City to take refuge, and even ran directly to Guannan County, which is not very bustling.
Only a small number of daring people saw that the pirates and bandits had no horses, and they had mules, donkeys or horses, and they hid from a distance to watch the excitement like the surrounding civilian and military households.
When they saw the banner army dividing and surrounding a large number of bandits and pirates, and the cavalry slaughtered the fleeing enemy, and slaughtered on the seashore, these people were all pale and frightened by the scene in front of them.
Many people are extremely scared, but they are reluctant to leave.
People actually love to watch the excitement the most, beheading is one of the most attractive pleasures of this era, people are happy to live and fear death, and they will get great pleasure when watching others being killed, this psychology is quite morbid, but it is the norm for many passers-by in the world.
The killing scene in front of him is a hundred times more violent and cruel than when the government kills people.
Countless people are swords and swords, and one group of people keeps depriving another group of people of their lives, and the means are of course extremely cruel, stabbing with guns, slashing, and blowing, and between the breaths of the spectators, at least a dozen people have closed their eyes forever and died in a pool of blood.
A traveling scholar looked at it and shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "It's too brutal." ”
The other continued: "Yes, many of the bandits have fallen to their knees, and they can't be spared? ”
A barefoot man answered angrily: "How can these beasts be good, why do you feel distressed when you kill them all?" ”
"Robbing food, grabbing money, robbing women, doing all kinds of evil, seeing them die, Lao Tzu's heart is very happy. Which one intercedes for them, tonight Lao Tzu will go to his house to see what he says? ”
A small number of people are sympathetic to the heavens and people, and although the faces of the many more people are pale and their hearts are pounding, they are very much in favor of the wanton killing of bandits and pirates by the flag officials.
These bandits and pirates, even if they don't rob their hometowns, in fact, extortion is also essential, as for robbing women, bullying the good, it is an inevitable thing, most of this generation is also loaf before falling into the grass, lazy, beating and blackmail are commonplace. This generation is a heinous murderer in the eyes of the good people, and although it is a little chilling or uncomfortable to watch them being killed, deep down, there is still more happiness in the end.
The two scholars were opposed by everyone, and they knew that their knowledge was a little biased, so they were silent at the moment, and slowly retreated to the side of the crowd, but although they were boring, they were not willing to leave.
"At this point, the big picture is decided." Zhou Liangmin's eyes were full of admiration, and he said sincerely: "Cavalry, guns, horizontal formations, vertical formations, they are quite skilled in command, and the soldiers and horses are also well trained, no wonder this Min Yuanqi can suddenly rise at this time!" ”
Zhou Liangmin and his brother Zhou Lianggong are the characters who have seen the Manchurian Eight Banners Cavalry, and the right ones in Weixian County were serious Eight Banner soldiers, the two brothers used a small number of garrison soldiers and the people recruited in the city, Zhou Lianggong united and used the officials, gentlemen and people, and created a large number of equipment to defend the city.
To put it mildly, when Sun Ge Lao was killed in Gaoyang, the Sun family also broke the family to recruit troops to defend the city, but the Eight Banners easily broke the city, although Weixian is not the enemy's target, and the situation in Gaoyang is different, but judging from the results of the garrison of the two cities, Zhou Lianggong's military talent may not be much worse than the famous Sun Daxue.
This conceited Zhou Liangmin also hid it in his heart, and he didn't dare to talk about it casually with idlers.
However, although the Zhou brothers have made great contributions and have significant military talents, they have not been taken seriously in the Ming Dynasty, after all, the seniority difference is too far, and it is also related to the system of promoting and appointing talents in the Ming Dynasty.
After the Zhou brothers descended to the Qing Dynasty, they were reused, and their official positions were rising, but they were excluded and suppressed in Zhou Lianggong's later years.
At this moment, of course, Zhou Liangmin couldn't imagine what he would do after many years, on the contrary, his heart was extremely agitated and excited!
"The eldest brother has military exploits and official positions, but he is a general who lacks reliability, and there is no trustworthy standard battalion soldiers and horses!" Zhou Liangmin was almost ready to shake his hands, and the excitement appeared on his face, making the people around him think that this middle-aged gentleman was a bloodthirsty pervert.
Zhou Lianggong is indeed quite embarrassed, Xuzhou Road has three battalions such as Suining Camp and Tongshan Battalion, even if the generals eat empty pay and drink the blood of soldiers, they are not bare-bones, there are always a few monkeys to play.
Zhou Lianggong of Huaiyang Road stationed in Taizhou was miserable, the previous governor of Fengyang said that he was stationed in Taizhou, and the soldiers were under the governor, so why do you need your own standard battalion?
In the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, the emperor set up a new governor of Fengyang due to the changes in the situation in the south, and controlled the military affairs of Henan and Huguang provinces, from Zhu Dadian to Ma Shiying, the position of the governor of Fengyang became more and more important.
The current governor Caoyun and the governor of Fengyang have all become unknowns, and a reluctant and inexperienced Huaiyang coastal defense soldier is ready to go, who will really take Zhou Lianggong to heart?
Especially now that the news of the Beijing division is cut off and people's hearts are fluctuating, everyone who cares understands that from now on, I am afraid that the generals who lead the army and the civilian officials who hold the military power will become bigger, and the status of ordinary officials will be lower and lower, until they become vassals of the powerful faction.
The appearance of Min Yuanqi and his more than 400 subordinates is undoubtedly a sleepy pillow for Zhou Lianggong, and it is simply an opportunity specially given by God.
Zhou Liangmin's eyes were burning, and after watching the killing for a while, he also admired Min Yuanqi's refusal to let go of the momentum of chasing and fighting. He urged the servants to hurry up and get on the road, although the servants were enjoying it, Zhou Liangmin did not hesitate.
He didn't plan to stop and greet Min Yuanqi at this time, and before communicating with Zhou Lianggong, what he said had no weight, the other party was in full swing after the big victory, and there was no need to have the first meeting on this occasion.
Judging from these small details, the Zhou brothers are really in the same vein, and they are all shrewd to the core.
Although he was in a hurry, Zhou Liangmin's eyebrows were extremely happy, and he didn't think it was hard to hurry. He doesn't plan to see Yancheng County and other places and those tidal flats and seashores, and there is nothing to do left and right, this time there is a fierce battle on the beach, and it is estimated that the strength of the salt lord bandits near Yancheng is greatly injured, and Yang Shili is afraid that he will be in wait for a while. Yang Shili has lost his strength, Liu Zeqing, an extremely snobbish military leader, may not want him again, and now the guest troops in Huaiyang are large, if Yang Shili does not have the support of the guest soldiers, I am afraid that he will not be able to help this person.
Next, Yang Shili is likely to choose to accept it when he sees it, no longer ask Liu Zeqing for better conditions, and directly agree to serve as a general of the battalion, and then hand over most of his salt profits and channels for selling private salt, and at the same time control the stove for Liu Zeqing.
Liu Zeqing now has tens of thousands of troops, although his strength is at the bottom of the vassals, and even Liu Liangzuo's strength is above Liu Zeqing, but there are 3,000 nails in the broken ship, Liu Zeqing has participated in the Dengzhou Rebellion, and he has emerged in serious warfare, and there are about 10,000 people in the core of his henchmen, and more than 30,000 generals and troops in his hands.
If Li Zicheng wants to defeat Liu Zeqing's troops, he is afraid that he will have to dispatch tens of thousands of elites with tens of thousands of cannon fodder, with Liu Zeqing's strength, of course, it is impossible to fancy the more than 1,000 bandits and salt Ding mastered by Yang Shili, what matters is the stove household and the business road of salt.
Even in the Hongguang years, with the merit of supporting the establishment was awarded the earl, the military salary of the four towns of Nanming also accounted for the bulk of the expenditure, but Liu Zeqing such a warlord will never be too much silver, he not only raised soldiers, but also amassed wealth, his mansion in Huai'an Xiu can be called the palace, and later after the Qing Dynasty also placed a mansion in Beijing, and after the lack of enough, he secretly wanted to oppose the Qing Dynasty, and was finally executed by the Qing Dynasty ruler for the crime of capriciousness.
At this moment, Liu Zeqing had just gone south, and it was also the time when he was most short of money and military salaries, and Yang Shili, a local snake who could make money, fell into Liu Zeqing's sight.
If not, would it be good to participate? If you don't have more than a thousand armor-clad core troops, and then you can coerce thousands of people, you have to be a general?
Even if there are as many soldiers as dogs now, the official positions above the guerrilla level will not be obtained if they do not have the strength, and they will not be able to sit firmly if they get it.
Yang Shili is attached, and the guest army can be used for him, and Min Yuanqi will be in danger at that time.
Zhou Liangmin left in a hurry because of this thought, he had to seize the opportunity, not only to keep Min Yuanqi and his hundred children, to keep this budding small force, but also to implement the credit of Min Yuanqi to suppress bandits, and sell a great favor in a down-to-earth manner. and then meet and make friends, even if Min Yuanqi and his subordinates are unwilling to leave their hometown to become guest soldiers, it is not too much to give them a standard camp name.
