On the one hand, Wang Ziyong was dreaming of establishing a country and self-government, but on the other hand, he could not form a strong restraint on the subordinate allied troops, and the order not to disturb the people or hurt the people could only be carried out in the ranks under his own direct control. ([8?<<〈<一Chinese<〈网]]).} ８}１)

The problem came, and when it came to the end, even the king's own men and horses began to riot. Because he watched other friendly soldiers rape and plunder all day long, but he had to strictly abide by the rules and precepts of the king himself, it was inevitable that the army's morale would fluctuate. After all, who doesn't love the silver and the woman with white flowers?

The fluctuation of the military spirit of his subordinates made Wang Ziyong unexpected, and it has only been two days since he entered Wuchang City, and some generals have already begun to protest to him, why can others rob it, but we can't rob it?

You must know that most of these so-called rebels are the same goods, no one is better than anyone else, look at don't let you drink wine, eat meat and play with women, but you can't do anything, who can not be angry?

In desperation, Wang Ziyong couldn't manage so much, so he had to relax the constraints on his subordinates slightly, but this relaxation was a bit out of control.

All of a sudden, the prefectures and counties around Wuchang fell, and the rebels plundered for a while, making the people miserable, and the chickens and dogs jumped.

In order for these subordinates to continue to advance south and occupy more territory, Wang Ziyong had no choice but to acquiesce. If you don't let them do it, I'm afraid they will have to do it alone.

I had no choice but to take my time and rectify it step by step.

After capturing Hanyang and Wuchang, the rebels were like a bamboo, and their prestige was great, and they successively captured the towns of Chuyang, Qizhou, Qishui, Guangji, Daye, Huangmei, Xianning, Tongshan, Chongyang, Linxiang, Yueyang, etc., and all the prefectures and counties fled in despair, or opened the city to surrender.

Wang Ziyong sat in Wuchang, began to slowly rectify military discipline, maintain order, and sent troops to continue to march around.

The troops of Zhang Xianzhong, Hu Jianqing and others even reached Wuning, Ningzhou and other places in Jiangxi, and advanced in the direction of Liuyang and Changsha.

Tu Yongzhong, the king of Shuntian, led his troops south from Yueyang, passed through Xiangyin, Yiyang, and Ningxiang, and went straight to Changsha, where he joined forces with Zhang Xianzhong and others to attack Changsha Mansion.

On both sides of the Yangtze River, on the shore of Dongting Lake, a bloody storm has been set off, and scenes of human tragedy have been deduced. Tragedies like those in Tangjia Village are staged almost every day, and for a time, the mourning is all over the wilderness, the people are struggling to make a living, the rich and calm lake can no longer be calm, and there are traces everywhere in the rivers and mountains.

When Mo Li led his troops to Changde Mansion, the will of the imperial court finally came down.

In view of the current chaos in Huguang, the rebels are raging, the Ming troops everywhere are fleeing, and the governor of Huguang was removed from Chongzhen for investigation because of the unfavorable supervision of the war.

Among the Ming army everywhere, only the new Liao army led by Mo Li is unique, even the battle is victorious, since the battle of Ruhuguang, all the way to the Xinyang victory, Zaoyang victory, Yicheng victory, Changyang victory, not only exterminated tens of thousands of rebels, but also captured He Yilong, He Jin, Li Yangchun, Xu Bian, Zhao Shiliang and other thieves, but also killed the thief king Jiayin and his subordinates Tian Xiurong, Lin Yangyang, Zhang Dashou and others, great achievements.

In order not to chill the meritorious ministers, and in order to effectively organize and command the officers and troops in Huguang to exterminate the rebels and stabilize the situation as soon as possible, after the collegial discussion of the Chongzhen court, it was finally decided to confer the rank of general of Moli Fengguo, and the governor of Huguang to suppress the bandits and military administration, and to unify the command of all the soldiers and horses of the three major general armies under Huguang, and eliminate the group of thieves.

Of course, to be able to get such an appointment, in addition to Mo Li's outstanding performance in suppressing thieves in Huguang, Mo Li spent a lot of money to ask Lu Hanzhang to dredge up and down in Beijing.

The titles of General Zhenguo and General Fengguo are just a loose official rank, and they have no substantive power, and they are generally used to solve the rewards and rewards for those military generals whose positions are already very high and difficult to be promoted.

What really excited Moli was the appointment later, the Governor Huguang Suppression of Bandits Military Administration, also referred to as the Governor of Huguang, as the name suggests, in Huguang, an acre of three points of land, Moli has the final say on the matter of suppressing bandits, not only military affairs, but also the support of local administration, it can be said that now Moli is the boss of the entire Huguang.

Originally, with Chongzhen's prejudice against Moli, it was impossible to make this appointment, and there was naturally the power of money in it. The so-called wealth is moving, and there are really few people in the world who don't love money.

Mo Li impressed Lu Hanzhang with a lot of money, and Lu Hanzhang dredged Wang Dehua and Wang Chengen in the inner court, as well as several powerful ministers of the foreign dynasty. But in the end, it was not in vain, the silver was used, and the power of the governor of Huguang was also in his hands.

With the name of the governor of Huguang, the various policies implemented in Huguang in the future will become logical, for example, in Changyang, Moli can change the structure of the government according to his own ideas, and can set up more policies and guidelines that are conducive to the development of people's livelihood, rather than just the law and order rectification for the Hui mob. Of course, the rectification of public order must now be carried out even more.

Mo Li was overjoyed, and the generals were also very happy, and the generals were promoted, and they were also sincerely happy. Moreover, not only Mo Li was promoted, but the generals also had their own promotions, among them, Cao Bianjiao succeeded Zhu Guozhen as the new chief soldier of Wuchang.

Just arrived in Changde, after receiving the reward, Mo Li was about to continue the march, suddenly the forward Cao Bianjiao sent someone to report, saying that the whereabouts of the rebels were sixty miles ahead, according to reliable information, Yiyang, Ningxiang has been occupied by the rebels, and Tu Yongzhong, Zhang Xianzhong, Hu Jianqing and other 120,000 rebels have surrounded Changsha City for several days.

Today's Changsha City is also panicked, and everyone is in danger. Xiangtan, Liuyang, Liling and other places around Changsha have been captured by the rebels, while Wuchang, Yuezhou and other places have been entrenched by the rebels.

It seems that it is still slow. Changde is still hundreds of miles away from Changsha, and Yiyang, Ningxiang and other places are occupied by rebels, so it is difficult to advance to Changsha in a short period of time to help the army and people of Changsha.

For this reason, Moli ordered Cao Bianjiao Xun to seize Taojiang, and attack the rebels in Yiyang on both sides with the army to recover Yiyang.

At the same time, as the governor of Huguang, he ordered Changde Mansion to help the army raise grain and grass, and was responsible for the transfer of logistics baggage. Then he led the army to speed up the march and rushed to Yiyang.

Along the way, I saw groups of people fleeing in panic, helping the old and the young, stumbling and running, everyone's face was full of panic. Seeing the new Liao army, the expressions of the people did not change much, and they dodged the officers and soldiers in horror, their faces were full of panic, and there seemed to be no difference between that appearance and seeing the rebels.

Seeing this scene, Mo Li was silent for a long time, bowing his head and hurrying silently, without saying a word for a long time.

As the army of the Ming Dynasty, the officials and soldiers should have been the patron saints of protecting the people of the Ming Dynasty, and they should have been dependent on the hearts of the people.

After walking less than three miles, there were faint cries and shouts in front of him, crying and wailing, and Mo Li finally understood why the people saw them as if they were rebels.

The vanguard reported that the Ming army, which had been defeated for miles ahead, was robbing the people of food in the woods.

Mo Li was furious, and personally led Guan Feng, He Zhenbei, Xiao Yang, Sima Jian and other personal soldiers to the front of the team to find out.

I saw that on the hillside in front, more than 1,000 Ming soldiers with scattered armor and uneven weapons were frantically chasing the fleeing people in the woods, snatching their burdens. The people didn't obey, and those Ming soldiers slammed the people down with one punch, and then snatched the burden hard.

Some of the hot-tempered Ming soldiers even punched and kicked the people who fell to the ground, venting their anger. There were even some Ming soldiers who directly smashed the people down with scabbards or guns, and then took over the burden and rummaged over, and found something to eat or something valuable and put it in their arms.

In these days, a little food is life! The people also have to live, who can watch their little rations being snatched away?

As a result, some of the more courageous people rose up to resist, scuffled with the Ming army, and swore to protect their life-saving food. But how can unarmed civilians be the opponents of the officers and soldiers armed with murder weapons?

Many people who resisted were hacked to death by the violent Ming army, and blood flowed all over the ground, which frightened the people around them to cry and scream, but at the same time, it also aroused the anger of more people.

What's even more infuriating is that some Ming soldiers actually took the opportunity of searching their bodies to scavenge for food, groping and pinching those big girls and little daughters-in-law, and some even put their hands inside the women's clothes.

Seeing this scene, Mo Li couldn't help but be furious, his face was as cold as ice, and two words popped out of his mouth: "Kill!" ”

In fact, at this time, Ma Jinzhong, the general of the former army, had already ordered the soldiers to be dispatched, and all the Ming troops who had committed evil must be subdued, and none of them were allowed to escape.

Su Hansheng led thousands of soldiers of the New Liao Army to rush up the hillside, roaring and rushing towards the Ming army that was poisoning the people like rebels.

These Ming troops were the defenders who were routed by the rebels in the areas of Xiangyin, Yiyang, and Ningxiang, and Changsha was surrounded by the rebels, so they had to flee for their lives in the direction of Changde. Prepared for nothing, and without even a dry ration, these officers and soldiers who dealt with the rebel soft eggs stretched out their sinful hands to the good and weak people.

Along the way, there were many people who fled with their families and mouths, and they were congested on the way, and these Ming troops had no food or drink, and under the unbearable hunger and thirst, the Ming army, which had already been corrupted, began to rob the people's rations, which intensified, and then gave birth to the scene in front of them.
