Eating and chatting to ease the atmosphere, Cai Maode could see that the Tiance army was well supplied, well-fed, and well-ordnanced.

This lunch in the army was not specially prepared for him at first glance, but it was so rich, he knew that even if the Tiance army besieged the city for ten days and half a month, it would not worry about supplies, but Taiyuan City would be miserable.

After eating and drinking, Cai Maode took the hot tea brought by the instructor Wang Wenquan himself, nodded and said politely: "Thank you, General Wang!" ”

As I introduced just now, I know that Wang Wenquan is an instructor, what the instructor does, Cai Maode doesn't understand, but his observation is still very strong.

The only difference in the dress of these officers is the epaulettes, Wang Wenquan and Wang Hongwu, the general soldier of Luzhou, have the same epaulettes, both are a gold star, and the so-called chief of staff Sun Yuanlong is two bars plus three silver stars, so he knows that Wang Wenquan's rank in the Tiance army is not low, so Cai Maode is very polite.

According to the Tiance military system, although Wang Hongwu and other brigade-level officers have a direct military strength of 3,000 troops from two regiments of the Tiance Army, they can also command a number of public security brigades in wartime, so the rank of brigade commander and others is set as major general, and the brigade commander of the public security army is colonel.

The daily training management and personnel of the security army belong to the headquarters of the security army, so the security army is also similar to the battalion soldiers of the Ming army, which is a measure for the Tiance army to disperse military power.

After taking a sip of hot tea, Cai Maode put the teacup in his hand and said slowly: "Generals, can you stop the war and let the old man mediate?" ”

Wang Hongwu said expressionlessly: "Impossible, we are acting on orders." ”

Wang Yue explained that he wanted to be polite to the third governor of Xuanda, Cai Maode came alone again, Wang Hongwu admired him as a person, and he had already given enough face.

Wang Wenquan smiled and eased the atmosphere and said: "Gong Cai, we are going to arrest profiteers and confiscate family property, can you mediate this?" ”

Cai Maode said: "Is the method too radical? ”

Wang Wenquan took out the love materials, patted them and said: "We have sufficient evidence to prove that profiteers have misled the country, which can be described as shocking. ”

Cai Maode took the materials handed over by Wang Wenquan, and did not look at it, but said gloomily: "Benxian is in Taiyuan, and he is not lonely, but I am already like this, what can I do?" ”

Wang Wenquan said: "If you don't take heavy medicine, it is difficult to treat scabies." ”

Cai Maode was silent for a long time and said: "The city of Taiyuan is tall and thick, and there are many soldiers and generals...... ”

Wang Wenquan said with a smile: "For our army, it is as easy as a hand. ”

Thinking about the past achievements of the Tiance Army and its strength in Shanxi, Cai Maode knew that Taiyuan would not be spared.

He muttered, "If the old man is your internal response, open the city gate ......." ”

Wang Wenquan immediately understood what Cai Maode meant, and said: "Our army only deals with profiteers and officers and soldiers who block our army, and temporary chaos is inevitable. ”

Cai Maode sighed and said, "Okay, the old man is trying to open the city gate." It's just that everyone, you must promise the old man to make less killings, especially not to affect the innocent. The old man hopes that this matter will pass as soon as possible. ”

Wang Hongwu, who had not spoken, said: "Cai Gong understands righteousness, and we admire it." ”

……

On the morning of April 26, the Yinghui Gate and Yichun Gate of Taiyuan City were suddenly opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and the Tiance Army, which had been prepared in advance, took the opportunity to rush into the city and quickly controlled the two city gates.

Taiyuan City was in chaos, and many merchants and ordinary people on the street, military residents, were stunned to see the Tiance army entering the city from several directions. Everyone is scared and avoided, not knowing what to do.

"Zhou Yuji, I have seen the generals of the Tiance Army." Zhou Yuji, the chief soldier of Shanxi, led his generals to greet Wang Hongwu and others at the gate of the city.

Zhou Yuji's predecessor, Wang Zhong, had taught the Tiance army the power of the Tiance army in the starting point city, so many of his generals heard that the Tiance army was going to attack Taiyuan, and they immediately became numb, so Zhou Yuji also knew that he couldn't do it, and Cai Maode was against Zhou Yuji.

"There is General Lao Zhou." Wang Hongwu nodded and said.

……

"Who is it? Who opened the gates? Li Jiande, the garrison of Taiyuan City, shouted angrily.

Li Jiande's official position was not earned by himself. At the beginning, he was just a defensive officer of the guard, and in order to become this garrison, he married the grandniece of Fan Yongdou of the Jiexiu Fan family, and he took refuge in the Fan family, the head of the eight Jin merchants, so he became this important official position.

If Jin Shang fell, his good days would probably come to an end, so he was a radical defender.

Li Jiande rushed to the garrison with dozens of personal soldiers, to arrange the defensive battle in the city, and just walked to the street, suddenly rushed over from across the street, and hundreds of Ming troops from Shanxi Town surrounded them.

A general from Shanxi Town made a statement beyond the crowd: "Check, Taiyuan City garrisoned Li Jiande, collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, colluded with profiteers, and committed a heinous crime. On the order of Governor Cai, Li Jiande was arrested, and if he disobeyed, he was punished on the spot. ”

"What?" Li Jiande waved his horsewhip in disbelief and said, "Lord Cai will send your men and horses from Shanxi Town to arrest me?" That's impossible? ”

"Kill!" The general from Shanxi Town waved his hand.

"Bump, bump, bump!" "Whoosh!"

For a while, the fire gun, bow and arrow were fired together, Li Jiande was immediately shot into a hedgehog, and he was shot several times, rolled off the horse, and his eyes were wide open until he died.

Dozens of Li Jiande's own soldiers were also killed on the spot, and the general stepped forward to check that Li Jiande was dead, and then said, "Let's go!" ”

Killing Li Jiande, this is called death without proof, how Taiyuan City was opened, no one dares to ask.

……

Li Jiande, the garrison of Taiyuan City, died, and the defenders of Taiyuan were already leaderless, and the Tiance army marched to all parts of the city, but there were still people blocking it.

"Get out of the Tiance Army, get out of the Tiance Army!"

The Tiance army had just marched to Fuxi Street, from Xindao Street, Bugong Street, and Yuanxi Street, there were many people rushing in under black pressure, all armed with knives, guns and sticks.

Led by some of the long histories of the Jin Palace, there are also things to serve the affairs of the Tai Supervisor.

"I am the eunuch of the Jin Palace, and the King of Jin has an order to order the Tiance army to get out of Taiyuan."

"Get out of Taiyuan, get out of Taiyuan!"

The crowds of people on all streets continued to gather, and a few fat or thin eunuchs walked at the front of the flow of people with their toes proud.

Behind them, there was a huge flow of people, including soldiers, residents, merchants, students, officials, gentry, ruffians, and families.

"All of them, ready to fight!" Zhao Zhenbiao, the commander of the first regiment, ordered that it was the first regiment of the Tiance Army to enter the city.

"Listen to Tiance Army, hurry up and get out of Taiyuan!"

"Shoot!" Zhao Zhenbiao decisively ordered.

"Bang Bang!" The sound of gunshots rang out, and a cloud of blood exploded from the crowd, and the eunuch led by him stroked the place where he was shot in disbelief, and then touched the blood on his mouth and nose, and then fell to the ground and wailed.

The others were frightened, and then they scattered in all directions, and scattered the birds and beasts....
