At this time, Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Guoneng, Luo Rucai and other thieves who were making trouble in the hinterland of Dabie Mountain at the junction of Huguang, Henan, and Nanzhili also felt that the pressure was greatly reduced, and the situation that they had been chased by the Tianxiong Army all over the world was greatly improved.

They also want to lay down a few wealthy places to spend a fat year, and plan to attack Nanyang or Xiangyang.

The two cities of Nanyang and Xiangyang are both of medium and upper scale, and there is a large population of food in the city, as long as the army and the people work together to hold on, it is simply whimsical to take it with the poor ability of the Liukou.

It is also because of the superstitious defense of the city, which led to the floating of civil and military generals in Xiangyang and Nanyang, coupled with the recent successes, the invincible Qing army was defeated for thousands of miles, which made too many Ming civil and military overly optimistic.

Huang Sifang calculated that the Jin merchants and Shanxi and Xuanda officials carried out a big plan to close the net, and the "Red Banner Army" fought with the Qing army in Shanxi, all of which needed the Qiwei to provide intelligence, and the Qiwei who stayed in the interior to work in large numbers went north to strengthen the strength of Shanxi and Xuanda.

There were only a few flag guards left behind in Henan, Huguang, and Sichuan, and of course they mainly focused on strengthening the areas actually controlled by the "Red Banner Army."

The exploration of Luoyang, Kaifeng, Xiangyang, Nanyang and other cities has basically stopped, which also brings an opportunity for the Liukou to take advantage of.

At the end of the year, there were many merchants who sold goods from the north and south to bribe the guards of the city to enter the two cities of Xiangyang and Nanyang, but they did not know that most of these people were rogue pretends, and they had a lot of gold and silver in their hands, so they acted generously.

The military attachés and soldiers defending the city thought that they had encountered big merchants, and they would not be inspected at all after being bought, and there were hundreds of rogues in Nanyang and Xiangyang, and the plan formulated by the rogues to break the city was not far from success.

Gao Yingxiang not only lived well because he did not suffer Sun Chuanting's devastating blow, but he was also the leading brother of Liukou, sitting firmly in the top spot.

In order to avoid internal friction, he contacted Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai, Liu Guoneng and other leaders and made an appointment to take the two big cities of Nanyang and Xiangyang at the same time, and Zhang Xianzhong and others shared the good thing of attacking Nanyang.

The rogues were very bad, and they chose to start on the night of the thirtieth night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, when the inner city should set fire everywhere to create chaos and open the city gates, and the old cavalry who rushed to the city took advantage of the situation to rush into the city to burn and loot.

It's not that the enemy is too strong, but that the Ming civil officials and military generals are paralyzed and careless, and they didn't expect that when everyone was busy keeping the New Year, there would suddenly be thousands of rogue troops.

Gao Yingxiang's ironclad cavalry of seven or eight thousand rushed directly through the city gate that was opened by Neiying, and successfully passed through Weng City to kill the mansion of King Xiang, and the defenders of Xiangyang City collapsed without decent resistance.

The civil and military generals in the city suddenly heard the shouts and neighing of horses, and when they saw the fire everywhere, most of them hurriedly fled under the protection of their families and guards.

The royal palace guards were all like goods, and their combat effectiveness was not worth mentioning, and they immediately lost their courage after being slashed and killed by the rogues, and they left King Xiang to flee for their lives.

The historical King of Xiang was very unlucky to die in Zhang Xianzhong's raid on Xiangyang City, and now he is even more unlucky, and was blocked by Gao Yingxiang in the mansion four years in advance.

King Tang was very lucky, he was taking 2,000 men and horses to celebrate the New Year in Yansui Town at this time, and he escaped.

It can also be understood that the Tang King is very unlucky, if the Tang King is in the Nanyang Mansion, Nanyang has two more men and horses, and Shi Kunshan, the leader of the flag guards, has a plan, and the possibility of being suddenly attacked by Zhang Xianzhong is very likely to be avoided.

It will not make the Tang King be broken by the rogues and become a proletariat, and the dozens of members of the Tang Wang's family will not be poisoned.

Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng were much more cruel than Zhang Xianzhong, and after capturing King Xiang and his family, they did not kill them immediately, but took them into custody and prepared to take them hostage to blackmail the officials and soldiers.

Zhang Xianzhong estimated that he should have been stimulated before, mentally unhealthy, and a little perverted, not only like to kill people for no reason, but also like to torture high-ranking officials and nobles to just die quickly.

After the thieves broke Nanyang and occupied the mansion of the Tang Dynasty, of course, they committed adultery and plundered, and the men in the palace were tortured to death, and more than a dozen young and beautiful women joined Zhang Xianzhong's team of wives and concubines.

Why the word team? That's because the thieves often marry wives and concubines, and when they are cornered by the officials and soldiers, they wield their wives and concubines with knives.

It is rumored that in order to make it easier for the thief to do that, he liked his wives and concubines to dress neatly and with grease and powder, and the bottom was red......

Xiangyang and Nanyang were really rich, and after the raids, the rogues obtained precious metals and valuables in millions of taels of silver, and also got a large amount of grain, horses, and weapons, and more than 200,000 people were coerced in the two cities.

On the fifth day of the first month of the tenth year of Chongzhen, Gao Yingxiang, who was full of ambition, took Xiangyang as Xiangjing, set up the Generalissimo Mansion of Fengtian and Yiyi, and appointed himself as the generalissimo, Li Zicheng, the left deputy marshal, and Zhang Xianzhong, the right deputy marshal.

The generals appointed by Gao Yingxiang include Cao Cao, Luo Rucai, Lao Hui Ma Shouying, Liu Guoneng, Li Wanqing, Ge Li Yilong, Hengtian Wang Zishun, and 100,000 Ma Jinzhong, etc.

The next day, the Liukou who united again began to conquer the city, their destructive power was far stronger than that of Jiannu and Tartar, and more than a dozen prefectures and counties were poisoned by the flames of war, but fortunately, the Liukou were afraid of the "Red Devil" and did not go to the border along the river.

The end of the Ming Dynasty was peaceful, and the news that the Ming army defeated Jiannu and regained the field was well-known, and the people were calm and busy with the New Year.

Because the emperor followed Huang Han's advice to ensure that the land of Gyeonggi was not affected by the war, the water and soil in this area were much better than in history, and due to the decline in grain and commodity prices, there were many job opportunities for the common people, so there were many channels to earn money, and the market was prosperous.

As long as the people of Shengdou can get by, they rarely care about politics, and as long as they can buy daily necessities, they don't care that the Jin merchants in Gyeonggi have disappeared overnight, and too many shops and business names have changed owners.

On the twenty-seventh day of the ninth month of Chongzhen, Li Ruolian Cheng played the Son of Heaven, and Jin Yiwei took immediate action after receiving a request from the general three days ago to arrest the traitorous Jin merchants and confiscate the Jin merchants' properties in the land of Gyeonggi.

At present, more than 3,000 criminals have been arrested, more than 500,000 taels of silver have been confiscated, and there are valuable antiques, calligraphy and paintings, pearls, agate, and other valuables waiting to be realized, and there are still a large number of real estate, storefronts, and acres of land waiting to be disposed of.

It is preliminarily estimated that after the confiscated real estate is realized, there should be more than one million taels of silver that can be handed over to the imperial court.

The handling is not poor, Li Ruolian's loyalty to Daming and loyalty to Chongzhen does not mean that his hands and feet are clean, and it is estimated that he has no less than 100,000 taels of benefits in his pocket.

Jin Yiwei's sudden action to raid the house and arrest people broke the peace of the Beijing Division, making the officialdom feel like an earthquake, and everyone was in danger, and too many officials thought of the horror when Wei Zhongxian suddenly turned against the Donglin Party during the period.

Soon, the civil and military officials noticed something unusual, because the people arrested by Jinyiwei were all businessmen.
