It can be seen that if the thieves can't find a place where they can rob the grain, they may starve to death without beating them, no wonder they attacked Houjiazhuang like crazy.

Wang Ziyong and Wang Jiayun's thieves have laid down a lot of small towns and Zhuangzi in the past half a year, and they have also broken two or three county towns, and they seem to have gained a lot.

It is possible that the thieves have gold and silver treasures and have nowhere to trade, and they are reluctant to throw them away.

And because the cavalry of the "Red Banner Army" suddenly rushed too fast and too fiercely, the thieves collapsed instantly, and they had no time to take the wealth and flee.

As a result, the value of the precious metals and jewels seized by the "Red Banner Army" was quite high, and it was estimated that it would reach more than 300,000 taels in terms of silver.

This is completely the disadvantage of using precious metals as currency, and after the rogue robs a large household in a county town, he will get more than 100,000 taels of silver worth of gold and silver treasures, and it is possible to meet a richer county town and state capital to get a million taels.

Most of the people in the last Ming Dynasty were poor, but it did not mean that the total amount of gold and silver treasures was less.

On the contrary, because a large amount of gold and silver produced every year will enter the circulation link, and foreign trade is a surplus of a large number of foreign gold and silver inflows, the total amount of gold and silver of the last Ming Dynasty may reach multiple or even several times compared with the total amount at the time of the heyday.

The direct consequence is that silver is cheap and grain is expensive, and when the grain of the Ming Dynasty is cheapest, one tael of silver can buy four stone polished rice, and at this time, one stone of polished rice in Beijing will cost two taels of silver, and the price will rise sharply in the future.

Due to the widening gap between the rich and the poor, wealth is concentrated in the hands of a small number of people, which directly leads to a lot of gold and silver treasures in the homes of high-ranking officials, nobles, landlords, and old wealthy, and also enables the rogues to grab a lot of precious metals when they rob their homes.

It is no wonder that sometimes the rogue ox broke and sent people to carry several large boxes of gold, silver, treasure, pearl and agate to bribe the Ming generals who were chasing and intercepting them, the purpose was to buy a way to escape.

In history, Zuo Liangyu, He Renlong, etc. often did such dirty things as collecting money and deliberately letting go of thieves, but in fact, those who insisted on staying until the end needed to spend money to buy a way to escape were all old bandits, and letting them go would directly lead to the destruction of the results of the suppression.

Later, Zuo Liangyu developed to have 800,000 troops, known as a million army, and it is estimated that he made too much gold and silver treasures and accumulated capital when he was fighting the rogues, otherwise he would not have produced it, how could he have money to feed the soldiers?

On the contrary, the Guan Ning army that entered the customs to suppress the Kou did not do business with the Liukou, and they were beaten to death when they met, and the final result was very miserable, most of the Guanning Army who entered the customs seventeen years ago Chongzhen gave their lives to the Liukou, including the fierce general Cao Wenzhao.

Zhang Xianzhong was once beaten by Zuo Liangyu and was desperate to spend money to buy a way to live, Zuo Liangyu smiled and accepted the property and let the tiger return to the mountain.

When Li Zicheng's subordinates were beaten to the ground, they sent the looted huge wealth to be returned, and the short-sighted Zuo Liangyu was willing to accept them for official positions.

However, within a few years, the thieves who had eased up their strength defeated Zuo Liangyu for thousands of miles, and the re-rising Li Zicheng was even more prosperous, and the original thieves who lived under Zuo Liangyu's command, Ma Shixiu and Du Yingjin, led 8,000 original rogues to launch a mutiny in Xuchang, Zuo Liangyu's nest.

The consequences are severe, and it can also be said to be karma.

Xuzhou City, Kaifeng Mansion is a strategic location, Zuo Liangyu has been stationed here for four years, his official residence, wife and children, except for the eldest son Zuo Mengeng, who has been following his father to fight, the rest are here, even if he is strictly defensive, he has also been exploited.

Ma Shixiu and Du Yingjin used the identity of Zuo Liangyu's generals to deceive the city gate of Xuchang, the fortified city, and killed Zuo Liangyu's family cleanly.

Huang Han didn't expect that the encirclement and annihilation of a group of rogues who looked like Hanako would be able to get so much hard currency, which was an unexpected joy.

In fact, only the "Red Flag Army" can count the captures, and it is estimated that they are other Ming troops, and these gold and silver treasures must have been put in the arms of the generals or secretly buried.

Zhang Fengyi rushed out of Houjiazhuang with three or four hundred white pole soldiers who could still run, and when he reached the periphery of the thief camp, he was stopped by more than a dozen cavalry.

She smiled knowingly, and then ordered the white pole soldiers to go back and collect the captures, clean up the battlefield, and let her subordinates try to get the particles back to the warehouse as much as possible.

The white pole soldiers are all infantry, and it is no longer necessary to start chasing and killing the Liukou at this time, and they have been fighting for five days and five nights in a row for three days and three days in Houjiazhuang, and it is already the end of the crossbow at this time.

The camp of the rogues is the concentration of wealth, and when the thieves drive the cannon fodder to attack Houjiazhuang, how many gold and silver treasures can they carry with them? Zhang Fengyi has gained very little.

The relationship between the white pole soldiers and the "Red Flag Army" is harmonious, and Zhang Fengyi is no longer worried about safety at this time, but she will not think that Huang Han personally brought people and horses to come.

Not long after, Zhang Yang and Sang Yu, who had completed the pursuit mission, found Zhang Fengyi and met the surviving white pole soldiers, and they took Zhang Fengyi into the clean-cleaned camp to meet Huang Han.

Xiaohou Zhuang was not burned down, it should be Wang Ziyong, Wang Jiayun and other thieves bones kept as a temporary base camp to use, this village is not large, only dozens of large households, there is a large family with four in and four out of the brick house, other services are mostly adobe wall thatched houses.

Now this large courtyard that originally belonged to the command post of the thieves was of course Huang Han's temporary residence, and the furniture here was readily available, and in the living room that had been cleaned by the women, Huang Han saw Zhang Fengyi with a bloody face.

Seeing her relatives, the stubborn female general finally couldn't hold back and cried like a child, she had never suffered such a loss, and the proportion of casualties in this battle had exceeded the bloody battle of the Hunhe River against Jiannu.

Seeing Zhang Fengyi, who was still able to run and jump although he hung up the lottery, Huang Han was extremely happy, and it was obvious that this action of the "Red Flag Army" had rewritten history.

Huang Han pretended to be surprised and said: "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that Benjue would be able to meet the white pole soldiers in Henan and meet his sister-in-law." ”

Zhang Fengyi gradually suppressed her tears, and said with palpitations: "Fortunately, Hou Ye led the 'Red Flag Army' to arrive, if it is half a day late, Hou Ye may only be able to collect the body of the last general." Hou Ye's life-saving grace will be unforgettable! ”

Huang Han didn't take credit, and said with a smile indifferently: "Sister-in-law doesn't have to be like this, the 'Red Banner Army' white pole soldiers have both family affection and comradeship, and they should help each other."

Moreover, with the bravery of his sister-in-law and the combat effectiveness of the white pole soldiers, where the mere rogues can be defeated, there may be other Ming soldiers and horses nearby to come to the rescue. ”

Zhang Fengyi was a little disheartened, she sighed: "Together with the general Deng Xi of the Sichuan army, there is no trace, who else can you count on?" Hou Ye is the life-saving benefactor of the last general and the seven hundred white pole soldiers, and the last general will always find a chance to repay him in the future. ”
