The people on the road in Shangqiu City hid back in the house one after another, not daring to come out, it was morning at this time, and there were not too many people going out, but more people who were sleeping on the bed. The people, for some reason, were awakened by the sound of fighting and shouting outside, and the head of the house opened a crack in the door to peek out.

Those big families hurriedly deployed their own families to defend their own mansions, and I am afraid that some thieves will take advantage of the fire to rob, and of course they will also prevent Liu Xia and others from entering the city.

"What the hell is going on? Why is it so chaotic outside, what's going on, is King Chuang back to kill again? "Shangqiu City used to belong to the Dashun court of Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, and after Li Zicheng was defeated and fled in Beijing, the officials here were captured, killed, and some surrendered to the Qing army. To this day, the people in the city still remember the name of Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang.

Another said: "What nonsense, King Chuang has long left the south, and I heard that he was killed in Hunan." How can I come back? Stop talking nonsense, hurry back, don't open the door, do you hear it clearly? lest the thieves enter the house and burn and kill and plunder. ”

"Yo Yo Yo, I really didn't know there was such news, I only heard that King Chuang lost Beijing and fled to the south, but I didn't expect to lose his life in the south."

"Don't talk about it, don't talk about it, let's go back quickly."

…………

"When you enter the city, you are not allowed to rob, rob, rape, ** women, you are not allowed to harass the people, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!"

Liu Dazhuang personally drove a horse at this time to lead a team of people to the prefect's mansion, and the gates around Shangqiu City are now basically controlled by Liu Dazhuang's men, and now Liu Xia has also entered Shangqiu City.

"Obey military orders, and behead !! anyone who violates military orders"

"The wolf howling camp went to the big households in the city, controlled the big families in the city, and did not allow them to go out, and not let any of them go."

"The Wolf Howling Camp obeys!"

"The rest of the Tiger Ben camp will immediately go to the various gates of Shangqiu City, and block the city gates to prevent anyone from entering or leaving."

"The third brigade of the Tiger Battalion obeys orders!"

……

On the originally bustling streets of Shangqiu City, now there are no people, only the troops coming and going, blocking the road.

On both sides of the road, I saw a crack in the door from time to time, and now the people in this Shangqiu City still don't know who entered this Shangqiu City, and who dared to attack Shangqiu City? You must know that this Guide Mansion is a place for the Qing army, with hundreds of Tartar guards, where do ordinary thieves and robbers dare to come here to make trouble?

"What the hell is this sacred, to dare to come here."

"Who knows, I really don't know that it is the pole on that mountain, and it is so bold, if the Qing army that went out of the city comes back, these people will definitely exterminate them all."

"Aren't they wearing the clothes of the Qing army? This is not the Qing army? Why are you saying it's a pole? ”

The few people looked at the person who proposed this sentence with contempt, and one of them said: "If the Qing army can attack the city they occupy like this, it must be that they don't know which pole nearby, they don't know where to find some Qing army clothes, and then take advantage of the lack of soldiers and horses in the city, they will come to take advantage of the fire to rob." ”

"Oh, I see, I see."

"Is this the Qing army, who of us doesn't know in our hearts? This group of people must be Han Chinese, and they killed the Tartars in this city, and they also vented their anger for us Han people. ”

An old man sighed and said: "The world is in chaos, and when it comes to the war, it is our people who suffer the most casualties, whether it is the army of the Tartars or the Han people, who will care about our life or death?" ”

"What Li Lao said is that the people are suffering. Death, the people are suffering! ”

…………

Hundreds of miles from Shangqiu City

Niu Wei, the battalion commander of the Lion Battalion, said to Zhang Liang, Yu Mingjun, and Wang En of the recruit battalion, logistics battalion, and Yingyang battalion who came over: "Three generals, this general will wait for the three generals according to the general's order. ”

Zhang Liang asked in a different voice, "General Niu, shouldn't you follow the general to Shangqiu City?" How is it waiting for me here? ”

The other two also leaned over to hear what Niu Di had to say.

Niu Hu smiled and said: "Entering that Shangqiu City, it is enough to have a general, where is the need for me Niu Hu?" General Ben is waiting for you to hand over the soldiers captured yesterday to General Zhang Liang, and add these prisoners to the new barracks according to the treatment of new recruits. ”

Zhang Liang asked, "Captive? ”

"Exactly, the Qing army we met before has been annihilated by us, and this Qing army has captured six hundred." Niu explained.

Zhang Liang said: "This Qing army is a Tartar, how can we manage them?" ”

Niu Hu snorted one after another: "General Zhang doesn't know, this group of captives is not a bird Tartar, it is an army composed of surrendered Han people, the general said that this group of people has experience in fighting, and they were forced to surrender to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, don't be embarrassed, this general did not kill them all." ”

When the rest of the people heard this, they were also very angry, and said, "It is precisely because of these traitors that those Tartars can attack so many of our cities." Without the help of these traitors, how could tens of thousands of Tartars do this? ”

Yu Mingjun said: "You don't have to say so much, now it's almost time for the general to enter Shangqiu City, let's go quickly." ”

As soon as Yu Mingjun's words fell, Niu Hu remembered something again and said: "By the way, we also captured two tiger squat cannons, I don't know if there is a captain in charge of guns among them?" ”

As soon as Niu Hu finished speaking, a young man walked out of the logistics camp and said: "The last general, Wang Xiaotong, is the captain of the artillery team appointed by the general, and he originally belonged to the pro-guard team, but the pro-guard team is in a hurry, and I can't go so fast as I can transport the tiger squat artillery, so I follow this logistics battalion." ”

Niu Wei said: "Since General Wang is here, then you can accept these two tiger squat cannons." ”

Wang Xiaotong said: "The last general will go here." After that, Wang Xiaotong bowed to several generals around him, and then led a few people to the place where the tiger squatting cannon was.

Now with the addition of the previous Tiger Squat Cannon, there are a total of three Tiger Squat Cannons, which can already form an artillery squadron.

Wang Xiaotong was very excited at this time, he knew that he could only follow the cannon in this army, if the general attaches importance to the cannon, then his official position will only be higher and higher, if the general does not want to see the cannon, then he can only continue to bury it.

Now that so many battles have been fought, artillery has not been used by the general once, Wang Xiaotong is very anxious, it has not been used once, that is to say, there is no chance to perform, there is no opportunity to perform, so how to let the general know how important artillery is? How to get the attention of the generals? This is Wang Xiaoxin's heart disease.

It is necessary to let the general see the demeanor of the artillery, it must be, but what should be done to make the artillery show its skills? For so many days, Liu Xia basically used cavalry to fight with his troops, and the speed of transportation of such a bulky thing as the tiger squat cannon was slow, and he couldn't keep up with Liu Xia, so he naturally rarely noticed.

Wang Xiaotong thought silently in his heart, next time, the next time he fights, he must go to Liu Xia to ask for his life, now that there are three tiger squat cannons, the power of the three guns is naturally not to be underestimated, and when the time comes, the general may also establish an artillery battalion and make himself the battalion commander.

…………

Liu Dazhuang carried a middle-aged man with a slightly chubby figure, a mustache under his mouth, a flower feather on his head, and a pigtail on his face full of fear and said to Liu Xia: "General, this guy is the prefect here, and the last general caught it in the treasury of this guy, it's ridiculous to say, the last general went to the bedroom of this guy to catch him, and it turned out that it was the master of this guy who was lying on the bed in the bedroom and a woman lying in his arms, and finally a small colonel caught this guy and made a last general." ”

As soon as Liu Dazhuang's words fell, the prefect who was carried by Liu Dazhuang turned pale with anger, and roared angrily: "Li Yuan, you bastard, I have never treated you badly, you dare to bully my family, you are unbearable, unbearable," just about to say something, he suddenly found that he seemed to be being carried, and then looked at the people around him, all wearing armor and holding weapons, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak.

"Hahaha, this guy is really interesting," Wang Shishi laughed.

Liu Xia said in a harmonious voice: "Da Zhuang, can the silver treasury of Guide Mansion be handled?" "Liu Xia's occupation of Guide Mansion this time is for the resources here, so naturally he can't let the silver in Guide Mansion be transported out early.

Liu Dazhuang said: "General Huiyu, there is not much silver in the silver treasury of this Guide Mansion, but the last general has found a lot of silver in the prefect's house, and he has also found a lot of silver in the mansion of Fuhai, hum, a group of corrupt officials." ”

The prefect was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak, and his head was resting motionless.

Liu Xianen said with a sigh: "Zhang Yuan, you go and bring people to the city to collect craftsmen and tailors, and inform them that the benefits of coming to this general are indispensable to them, if you don't come, you will be forcibly tied up and tied up to this general, but don't hurt your life." ”

Zhang Yuan shouted loudly: "Obey the order, the last general will go here." ”

"A few teams followed General Ben."

Liu Xia said: "We will prefect the yamen." ”

"Yes"

After that, Liu Xia led many generals and hundreds of soldiers to the prefect's yamen. The prefect has been carried by Liu Dazhuang, and Liu Dazhuang didn't feel physically exhausted, he was really a general.

At this time, there was still not a single person in the city of Shangqiu City, Guide Prefecture, who dared to come out, and the whole city was like an empty city, and the road was full of troops, and the frightened people only dared to hide in their own houses.

Until now, the people in Shangqiu City still don't know who this group of people who entered Shangqiu City is, why are they so bold, aren't they afraid of the revenge of the Manchu Tartars? You must know that the Manchu Tartars are a group of fierce monsters who eat people and do not spit out bones in the hearts of the people, and they cannot be provoked.
