As early as the fifth year of Chongzhen, when Liu Renyu gradually gained a firm foothold in Yansui, he had already ordered Chen Danqing's News Investigation Bureau to formulate a 'storm plan', and sent agent killers to gradually infiltrate various provinces, prefectures, and counties in Shaanxi.

When these killers went to various places, they must try every means to rent the houses around the government offices or near the city gates, and observe the daily life of the local officials in these places and the situation of the city defense for several years.

Every official, what to do at what time, what to do at what time, how many people are on duty at the city gate, who are on duty, when to doze off, how long to doze off, the official is in charge, all of these are recorded.

As long as Li Zicheng creates a momentum in the south and sends troops to Shaanxi to attack, the agent killer team should immediately send people to contact Li Zicheng's troops and conspire to trap the city.

Zheng Gouyu, sent by Li Zicheng, led an army of 10,000 into Hanzhong, attacking the city and plundering the land all the way, the speed was extremely fast, and he was already approaching Xi'an.

The gentry of Shaanxi no longer had any confidence in the imperial court, and they fled towards Yansui in droves.

Liu Renyu took advantage of this opportunity to loot the gentry's money.

Life and money, can only choose the same?

Some gentry heard some rumors from the court and knew that Liu Renyu's status was special, but they were afraid that they would no longer be controlled by the court, so they obediently handed over the money to buy their own family members' lives.

There are also some gentry who don't believe in this evil, and they want to use the name of the big man in the court to subdue Liu Renyu.

For these people, Liu Renyu's order is very clear, expel three times, and then do not listen to persuasion, directly kill the gentry, and do not harm the family.

After Zheng Gouyu captured Hanzhong, he did not directly attack Xi'an, which had high walls and thick walls, but attacked Gansu and Ningxia first in accordance with the previous policy.

When his army arrived in Yansui, it was not as invincible as it was in other parts of Shaanxi, but was caught off guard by the militia there.

The citizens of Yansui Military Town have land, and compared to people in other parts of the Ming Dynasty, they have human rights, and they can even form a jury and participate in the judicial trial process.

The legislation of Yansui Military Town also needs to be reviewed by the representatives of the people's will before it can be passed.

The citizens here love the land under their feet, love the system here, love the freedom here, and love everything here, so the thieves come, even under the banner of killing corrupt officials and gentry and dividing the land, it will not work.

The officials of Yansui Military Town are all elected through elections, and they are directly responsible to the local citizens, and the officials are like grandsons, and the slightest violation of the following laws and regulations will be exposed by the newspaper, which will make them extremely embarrassed.

The salaries of officials in Yansui are very high, and they are generally held by the children of wealthy families, and basically do not rely on power to make money, so there are no corrupt officials in Yansui.

As for the gentry, in other places in the Ming Dynasty, their hands and eyes were all over the sky, but when they arrived in Yansui, they clamped their tails and paid taxes honestly, and they did not dare to bully others.

Everything is good in Yansui, there is no need for any changes, and the beggar army who tried to change all this naturally became the public enemy of Yansui, and everyone shouted and beat them.

After Zheng Gouyu ran into a bloody battle in Yansui Military Town, he didn't dare to fight Yansui's idea again, he decided to concentrate the newly recruited 100,000 troops first, attack Xi'an first, and then deal with Yansui.

*****

Xi'an, the Trilateral Governor's Palace, Hong Chengchou sat in the back hall, looking at the documents on the table, full of news, and Liu Renyu is now completely out of hope, he is not in the name of the trilateral governor, in his own name, wrote a number of letters, asking Liu Renyu to send troops to save Shaanxi.

Hong Chengchou did not think that this distress letter was useful, and it was true, several letters were like mud cows entering the sea, without causing a single ripple.

Such a result is expected, the mansion of the Ming Dynasty will fall, but Liu Renyu's power is very strong, he believes that Liu Renyu will not be afraid of Li Zicheng.

The night was deep, the candles were dripping with tears, and Li Zicheng's troops outside the city were camped for hundreds of miles, and the lights were bright, illuminating the night sky outside the city that should have been dark as day.

The defenders in the city of Xi'an are in a panic, the whole of Shaanxi, except for Xi'an and Yansui, has fallen into the hands of the beggar army, Yansui is not easy to gnaw, but it is impossible to send reinforcements, and now Xi'an is a lonely city.

The king of Qin knew that the general situation was coming, and he also scattered some of his wealth to reward the army and let them work hard to defend the city.

The hearts of most of the soldiers defending the city have long been attracted by the begging army, but the officials watched, everyone has been controlled by these officials for a long time, and has formed a habit, so they have not dared to fight back, they are all waiting, waiting for the moment when the beggar army attacks the city, or the moment when the secret troops of the beggar army begin to assassinate, they will take advantage of the chaos to rebel.

The soldiers defending the city are waiting, and the begging army begging is also waiting, they are waiting for the "secret army" of the begging army in the city to seize the government and the city gate in the city, and then the beggar army will attack Xi'an without blood.

Everyone is waiting, Hong Chengchou is also waiting, he knows the policy of the begging army, and all the officials above the county order will be killed, and he Hong Chengchou will definitely die.

It was late at night, but Hong Chengchou still didn't feel sleepy, the majestic wind blew, his heart tightened, and he said to a dark shadow behind him in a calm tone: "I knew you were coming, I have been waiting for you for a long time." ”

"The commander knows we're coming."

This voice was so familiar that Hong Chengchou was taken aback, and when he turned around in amazement, he saw Liu Renyu, Liu Renyu with an inexplicable smile.

"How could it be you!?"

Hong Chengchou was first surprised, then stunned, then frightened, and then as if he didn't know the person in front of him, he took a few steps back, unable to speak for a long time.

"You ....., don't you ......?"

Hong Chengchou had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.

Liu Renyu smiled slightly and said: "The commander is worthy of being a two-rank jinshi and a three-sided governor, and his flexible mind is far from being comparable to our martial artists, and he is invincible and admired." ”

"Invincible, hmph, you still remember the words I gave you."

"Shuai, if you give me such a word, I still slander you, a two-list jinshi, perfunctory."

"Why are you doing that?"

"Do what?"

"Kill."

"Didn't you kill?"

"We're killing thieves."

"Why did they become thieves?"

Hong Chengchou stopped talking.

"You killed too."

Hong Chengchou found Liu Renyu's stain.

"You're right, I don't care, I don't kill people, how can I sit in the position of governor of Yansui and arrange such a big game of chess."

Liu Renyu smiled indifferently.

"What do you want, you want to change the dynasty, and you don't have to drive Li Zicheng to kill so many people."

"Hmph, compared to the thieves, I think these greedy and shameless corrupt officials and gentry should be killed, and these clans that do not produce and knock out the bones and marrow of the people should also be killed, and if they are killed, the land of the Ming Dynasty will become a borderless land, I will distribute it to the people, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and live a peaceful life."

"I see, to put it mildly, you are borrowing Li Zicheng's hand to get rid of all the opponents, so that you can sit back and relax on the throne, right?"

"I thought it was too simple for me to be the commander, I never thought about being an emperor."

Liu Renyu shook his head.

"Commander, if I wanted to be the emperor myself, I would have been able to attack the Jingshi a long time ago, and replace it, so I don't have to be so troublesome, but I don't want to do this, I want to ......."

Liu Renyu can't remember how many times he has uttered the theory of Social Democracy.

In this era, even people like Hong Chengchou don't understand Liu Renyu's theory very well, but this is no longer important.

"At the end of the day, you can come and send me off and make me a ghost, I am very grateful to you."

Hong Chengchou knew that a person like him could not survive in the hands of the begging army or Liu Renyu, and he didn't want to beg, so he could only die calmly.

Liu Renyu took out the one and put it into silence. The pistol, a total of twelve bullets, five bullets were fired earlier, and seven were left.

The red light flashed, and in the center of the eyebrows, Hong Chengchou died.

The same scenario played out all over Xi'an, where the beggar army captured Xi'an.

After all the gentry, clans, and township officials in Shaanxi were killed, Liu Renyu led an army of 100,000 to attack, shouting the slogan of business as usual.

As a result, the people who were newly attached to the beggar army in Shaanxi turned against each other, and Zheng Gou's remaining 10,000 troops fought fiercely with the Jingbian army, and the whole army was annihilated.

Liu Renyu occupied the entire territory of Shaanxi, and then divided his troops to guard the passes everywhere and continued to run Shaanxi, and the next goal of the Jingbian Army was to destroy the Houjin.
