Chapter 72: Sending troops across the state

In fact, as soon as Zhu Youlang got Li Yuanyin, there was a lot of collusion between officials and businessmen and the persecution of civilians, and the national treasury had bottomed out, and the taxes could not be collected for a while, so Zhu Youlang immediately thought about attacking those corrupt officials and profiteers, especially the big landlords, the main promoters of land annexation.

Just after Zhu Youlang's will was issued, Fu Shangrui wanted to find Tang Wencan and Wang Yuncheng to discuss, but when he heard that Wang Yuncheng was killed by soldiers outside the city, Tang Wencan was forced to return to the camp, and the civil and military colors of the whole city changed.

In the military camps of the whole city, there were announcements of Zhu Youlang's will everywhere, especially when I heard that people who came from the north could not stay for more than a day, and those who were doing business were persuaded to go to Guangzhou.

And just when Zhu Youlang strictly ordered Li Yuanyin to collect war taxes from all acres of land, in Changde, Sun Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming gathered in the barracks.

Sun Youde looked at Shang Geng and the others: "Emperor Ming is personally conscripted, and the two of them have a high view." ”

"What else can there be, kill him, capture him alive." Shang Kexi glared at Sun Youde without blinking, as if to say, such a simple thing still needs to be said.

"Let's discuss how to fight." Geng Zhongming stood up and stared at the map: "Otherwise, we will take Yongzhou directly." ”

"Let's keep an eye on Emperor Ming, the rest are just small fish, and capturing Emperor Ming alive is the most important thing." Sun Youde answered.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the tent: "Report, there is an urgent report from the front army." ”

"Come in." The three of them looked at each other and shouted in unison.

After the three of them circulated the urgent letter, Shang Kexi stared at the map and was silent, while Geng Zhongming frowned and stared at Quanzhou and said: "It seems that Emperor Ming is going to give up Huguang, so what is he doing here, is he here to disgust me." ”

"Nope." Kong Youde slapped his legs and stood up: "His target is us, he wants to fight, then he will fight, the whole army will attack, these places, don't care, first hit Emperor Ming, as long as Emperor Ming is defeated, you can go straight to Guangxi." ”

The two stared at the map and were silent for a moment, then they both responded: "Yes, come to think of it, his target is us." ”

"Then it's decided, the whole army will attack and stare at Emperor Ming."

Just after the three of them set the pace, they immediately mobilized their troops and began to march towards Yongzhou, but at this time in Yongzhou City, Zhu Youlang was staring at the map.

"How's it going to be taxed?" After a while, Zhu Youlang looked at Ding Siliang on the side.

Ding Siliang took advantage of the situation and said: "Your Majesty, there are five official gentry who pit taxes, but under the strong insistence of Li Yuanyin and Wang Xingbing, there are 300 people who were killed against the pit, and most of the five families are related to Fu Shangrui, a total of 300,000 taels of assets have been collected, and there are 100,000 taels of silver alone, and the rest will be implemented smoothly, and they can be collected within ten days according to this trend." ”

Zhu Youlang took a sip of tea with an expressionless face: "How is He Tengjiao?" ”

"It's going on in an orderly manner, but the spies from Huguang are spying, and the Tartars are collecting troops, and it is possible that they will come to Your Majesty."

Zhu Youlang pointed to Quanzhou: "Order, He Tengjiao strengthens the defense of Quanzhou, and he is not allowed to fight without the emperor's order, and then orders Zhang Kuang to lead troops to Yongzhou, and order the Yin Tin Department to follow him, Huguang needs to spread south as soon as possible, and once the war starts, no one can stay here." ”

After watching Ding Siliang leave for a while, Zhu Youlang stared at the artifact spectrum carefully.

Just when Li Yuanyin was taking a tough inventory of land and collecting war taxes in Quanzhou, people from all over Huguang rushed to Guangzhou like migratory birds.

However, the officials and businessmen in the city of Quanzhou began to load dozens of trucks and dozens of goods, and a few days later, more than 10,000 soldiers led by Zhangkuang were coming.

Zhu Youlang stood on the tower of the city and watched the division of Zhang Mine, and he was relieved to see that the order of the Zhang Mine Army was forbidden to have no disturbance.

"The Lingzhang Mining Department is temporarily stationed outside the city, and after he arranges the army, he will come to see me immediately." Zhu Youlang ordered Ding Siliang.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

That night, Zhang Kuang came to Yongzhou Mansion alone, in fact, he was extremely puzzled and opposed to Zhu Youlang's abandonment of Huguang.

"Ministers meet Your Majesty the Emperor, long live my Emperor." Zhang Kuang knelt down in front of Zhu Youlang.

Zhu Youlang approached to help Zhang Kuangwen and said with a smile: "My loyal ministers and good generals, there is no need to be polite. ”

"Your Majesty." Zhang Kuang's eyes were slightly red and he looked at Zhu Youlang: "The minister is incompetent, and he will lose his ground." ”

"Ugh." Zhu Youlang looked away: "Victory or defeat is a common thing, you don't have to take it to heart, now that the country is in turmoil, I urgently need talents such as Aiqing who can write and martial arts, and Aiqing can't blame himself." ”

"The minister will go to the soup to cross the fire, and he will not hesitate." Zhang Kuang looked at Zhu Youlang with a firm face: "Your Majesty, Yongzhou City is here, the minister is here, Yongzhou City is broken, and the minister is dead." ”

Seeing this, Zhu Youlang nodded slightly, sat down in the hall and pointed to the side: "Sit down and say." ”

After Zhang Kuang sat down, Zhu Youlang said with a solemn face: "Aiqing guards Yongzhou, I can be trusted, as long as Aiqing tries his best to defend Yongzhou, even if the city is broken, Aiqing is not in a hurry to die, and he will definitely lead to me to rely on Long." ”

Speaking of this time, Zhu Youlang pointed to the map in front of him: "I am ready to fight to the death with the Tartars in Quanzhou, I am defeated, the whole army is scattered to Guilin, I win, Yongzhou is a frontier city, Aiqing can understand." ”

"I understand." Zhang Kuang's face was certain.

"That's good, ring the money of the money, and then discuss it after the war, don't take the people's things, don't do anything to rob the people, and whoever commits a crime will not be killed." Zhu Youlang stared at Zhang Kuang murderously, but Zhu Youlang understood that the Ming army at this time was no different from Tartar in some places.

When Zhang Kuang heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground: "The minister doesn't dare to guarantee that none of his subordinates will not commit a crime, but the minister will guarantee it, but the offender will not be killed." ”

"Okay." Zhu Youlang smiled and said: "Let's go down, three days later, General I will lead the troops away, and Yongzhou City will be handed over to Aiqing at that time." ”

"The minister lives up to the emperor's grace."

After Zhang Kuang was instructed by Zhu Youlang, he immediately patrolled the camp to announce military law, and even took more than 100 people to kill chickens and monkeys, and at this time, He Tengjiao led the generals to also gather in Quanzhou.

Originally, He Tengjiao wanted to come to face the saint, but Zhu Youlang's order was to strictly order him to stick to the whole state, and he could only tell Zhu Youlang about the affairs of the whole state.

And when Zhang Kuang's army was slowly taking over Yongzhou City in Yongzhou, Du Yinxi and Kong Youde were still happy Geng Zhongming, and he retreated while fighting.

"Your Majesty, the Tartars have moved." As soon as Li Yuanyin got Shang Kexi and Kong Youde Geng Zhongming's fierce troops, he immediately sensed that the Tartars intended Zhu Youlang.

As soon as Zhu Youlang got the news, he frowned and stared at the map for a moment, and Zhu Youlang slapped Quanzhou: "The whole army is attacking, there is advance and no retreat, declare the whole army, attack the whole state." ”

Just when Li Yuanyin got the order to go, Zhu Youlang shouted again: "The next war book and the surrender book and Kong Youde Shang can be happy Geng Zhongming, I will personally conquer the generals, and surrender in front of the battle, I will not die around it, I will not die in the past, I will do my best to punish his clan, and then find a way to declare to the whole army of the Tartars, I remember that all people, regardless of the Manchu and Han dynasties, have a small wife and children, and I can't bear to lose my husband and my father, and if I don't make any effort in the war, I will not die around him, and after the war, I will let him return to his hometown, and he will never be blamed. Wait for a reward of 10,000 gold. ”

"Your Ministers obey."

That night, Zhu Youlang led the troops away, and He Tengjiao also went out of Quanzhou to block Yinxi on the side to protect him back to Quanzhou.
