Chapter 392. Pandora's box

In the quiet snowy sky in the north, a green shoot is quietly sprouting, and at the same time, on the land of Shandong, the black hand of sin is also quietly extending.

In the evening, the snowflakes fell colorfully, and the fields were also thickly covered, and the sporadic firelight flickered faintly in the village, and on the walls, hoes and walls that had not been used for many days were frozen together, and the thatched huts hung down with ice skates, but from the cracks in the walls and windows, a stream of heat came out.

Strings of large corn cobs hung on the wall of the warehouse, sweet potatoes were hoarded in the cellar, and sweet potato stalks were pickled with sweet potato stalks.

But in this era, happiness is sin!

Under the ridge at the edge of the village, a dozen black shadows poked out half of their heads, looking at the gate of the fence wall outside the village, a night watchman holding a big gun was already sleeping soundly, and suddenly several greedy and cruel smiles suddenly flashed in their pupils like wolves.

The two wolves crawled over the snow like that, and the night watchman who sat on the edge of the chair and watched the door seemed to feel something, and wanted to open his eyes in a daze, but the next moment, his old yellow eyes widened, and a cold hand covered his mouth, and then the same cold dagger pierced his neck, and the hot blood spurted out, staining the snow on the side red, and after a few seconds, the sturdy crop man softened significantly.

Seeing that he was out of breath, the two fierce killers threw him to the side, and reached out to untie the shallow wooden suspension bridge on the ditch in front of Zhuangzi, but who would have thought that the janitor who had just died suddenly burst out with the last burst of vitality, kicked his leg violently, and with a bang, a stone was kicked down, making a loud noise.

"Who?"

At the top of the wall, too, a night watchman poked his head out in a daze, and with a whoosh, an arrow plunged into his neck, and before it fell, the night watchman's screams echoed violently.

It was too late, the two of them slashed the rope of the drawbridge, and shook the fire fold in their hands twice, and the frightened villager had just rushed out of the courtyard with a dung fork, and the dense sound of horses' hooves had already sounded in the middle of the village, and someone called out the name in horror.

"Ringing horses!"

The sound stopped abruptly, followed by the flying heads, the popping of blood, and the robbers on horseback, dressed in black and masked, wheeled their knives and threw torches onto the thatched roofs, and the fire suddenly raged.

In just a few minutes, Zhuangzi became a hell on earth!

In the strange laughter of wahahaha, a farmer who was paralyzed on the ground had his head cut off, and the ringing horse immediately threw his head into the water tank with a layer of ice, and the thin ice was smashed open, and then froze again, and those eyes were frozen desperately and eternally.

Several big girls shouted desperately and hid back in the house, while several ringing horses smiled lewdly and unbuckled their belts and followed in, and after a while, the terrible screams came out again.

The pigs raised by the villagers, the chickens croaked and were snatched out, hung on the horses, a ringing horse dragged a whole box of cans from the Dongjiang River excitedly drilled out, there were also broken silver, copper desperately stuffed into the torn clothes, the carnival of looting lasted for more than half an hour, and the satisfied robbers returned with their pants loaded, leaving only the burning Zhuangzi, the crying everywhere, and the desperate cursing.

…………

Bang Dang!

"Bastard thing!"

In the gorgeous Jinguan Hall of Dengzhou City, Governor Yu Dacheng's head straightened up, and he smashed his fist on the table in anger, and the white porcelain tea jar on the table fell to the ground with a click, and in front of him, two military households in clothes and armor knelt on the ground tremblingly, full of helplessness.

This is already the third Tuntian Zhuangzi to be burned this month, this gang of ringing horses is simply pervasive, and the methods are extremely cruel, as many as hundreds of men, women and children have been killed, and the entire Denglai Road is now panicked.

But Yu Dacheng has no way to take these ringing horses, Denglai hills and plains are crisscrossed, a group of 500 to 1,000 ringing horses can just find a ravine and hide, Yu Dacheng still lacks cavalry, even if he has almost 12,000 horses under his command, there is also a feeling that anti-aircraft guns fight mosquitoes, and there is nowhere to use power.

After being angry for a long time, Yu Dacheng finally waved his hand helplessly: "Go down!" This government knows about this! ”

"Futai!"

"The government will send a standard battalion to inspect Qixia, Laiyang, and Moshan, go down!"

Seeing that his lord was impatient, the two guards had to kowtow and retreat.

But they had just left, and before Yu Dacheng could breathe a sigh of relief, another official outside hurriedly ran in.

"Futai, Shandong General Liu Zeqing and Lord Liu have arrived!"

"Liu Zeqing!"

As soon as this name was mentioned, a layer of fine folds suddenly appeared on Yu Dacheng's well-maintained face, and he hesitated for a few minutes, and Yu Dacheng finally suppressed his anger and nodded with difficulty.

"Please!"

After another moment, heavy armor rattled in from outside.

This Liu Zeqing, a typical Ming army general's face, a thick face, a thick beard, nostrils are a little turned outward, his face is like a bold, and his voice is thick and strong.

"The last general will meet Lord Futai!"

"General soldier Liu, you are the general soldier of Shandong Province to come to my Denglai Road, what is the so-called thing? Liu Zongbing didn't know that the military ministers of the headquarters town were not allowed to leave the station without permission, and it was even more taboo for His Majesty to have unauthorized relations with the governors and other towns? ”

At all, he didn't have the attitude that poor Baba had when he begged Mao Jue, Yu Dacheng at this time really had the authority of the governor, and he didn't even stand up to greet him, and slapped the table and scolded him as soon as he met.

But for Liu Zeqing, this reprimand didn't even sting his face at all, he was full of smiling flesh, Liu Zeqing said with a hippie smile.

"Don't you say that, my lord! Isn't Denglai also part of Shandong? Besides, the last general is also kind-hearted, I heard that the Denglai bandits have been seriously affected recently, and they even dared to openly attack the imperial guards! If you don't give up, the last general can help you!"

"I don't need it! Denglai Military Town, I can't even deal with a small bandit, what kind of official is this mansion supposed to, how to guard one side for Your Majesty, General Liu is leading with all his heart, come here, send off guests!"

Just kicked out? Liu Zeqing's thick black face also twitched a few times, but he still looked like he was smiling and not smiling, and said in a dark voice.

"Lord Yu can think twice! Recently, Your Majesty has been very angry, and it should be because the place is not quiet, but he has removed several officials of adults! This is going to be noisy and noisy in the middle of the court, which is very bad for adults! ”

"If you use troops, when you go to Caozhou, you will squeak, and the last general will be waiting there and say goodbye!"

Humming, this Liu Zongbing made a noise again, turned around and went out, looking at his back, Yu Dacheng's face couldn't help but appear a large gloom.

To say that this matter is still a Pandora's box opened by Mao Jue!

In the ten years of Chongzhen, although the court covered up the disobedience of the Dongjiang River, the rumors still spread out, what was Chongzhen like to the Dongjiang River? A general soldier and an uncle wanted to be sent away, but after this trouble, Mao Jue and a military minister turned out to be the governor of Liaodong who could only be seen by civilian officials! Liaodong Governor! That is the position where Yuan Chonghuan and Lord Yuan can sit, the general town side, the overview of the military and political affairs, and even the right to accept the fate of local lower-level civil officials are in his hands, he is a rough martial artist, why!

There is also Mao Wenlong, the remnants of the eunuch party, and the Beihou has been sealed! It's a marquis! The highest pursuit of the warriors! Why!

This stirred up a shock among the Ming military ministers, and the local generals who had strength began to feel restless.

Mao Jue was the first to eat crabs, this Liu Zeqing wanted to be the second, he also wanted to expand his strength, but this martial artist is really a rough martial artist, in addition to scraping the ground, where does he have Mao Jue's management skills, naturally, his claws can only stretch out to ready-made, but in the whole of Shandong, the richest place is only Denglai Road, but this Denglai Road is not in his hands.

If before, the prefect of a state dared to point fingers with the general staff of the army, and he dared to provoke Yu Dacheng, the governor, he would definitely be looking for death!

But now, the weakness of the imperial court is completely exposed, as soon as something happens, Chongzhen will only kill the governor, if the defeated general has the strength in his hands, he will serve in front of the front-line army to forgive his sins, only the unlucky ghost who has run out of troops is a click, and the warlordization at the end of the Ming Dynasty is already the first to see, which has the example of Mao Jue, Liu Zeqing is of course fearless.

It would be better if Yu Dacheng wrote a letter to impeach himself, and with this reason, Caozhou soldiers could drive to Denglai.

It's a pity that Yu Dacheng, the wishful thinking of this goods, knows better than him, as early as half a month ago, Mao Jue, who stole the news at the Jinyi Guard of the Beijing Division, had already ventilated him, what kind of horse thieves, cross-border killings, were all pretended by Liu Zeqing's personal soldiers, in order to find an excuse to enter Denglai.

After the soldiers and horses come in, it is easy to invite God and difficult to send God! Liu Ze is here to liquidate and not leave.

Why Denglai Road is rich, it is closely related to the Dongjiang River, this is Mao Jue's cotton production base, more than 100,000 acres of cotton fields, supporting the Dongjiang textile industry, and the business travelers who go to the sea to do business in the Dongjiang River also have to pass through here, from here to the north to cross the sea, to let Liu Zeqing come here to scrape the land, then Denglai Road will not live.

Not to mention the relationship between Denglai Dao and Dongjiang, just he was a martial artist who bullied his Wenchen, Yu Dacheng couldn't bear it, he was extremely angry, the porcelain on the table was unlucky again, grabbed the teapot that had just escaped, slammed it on the ground and smashed it to pieces, Yu Dacheng was still angry, and shouted angrily.

"You bastard brute!"

"Sir! Do you want to write a small letter, let's impeach this barbarian as a bandit!"

"Isn't that just an excuse for him to meddle?"

Cautiously, the master of Shaoxing at the back opened his mouth to ask, but as soon as he said it, he was denied by Yu Dacheng, and then, the feudal official gritted his teeth and snorted.

"Grind, the official wants to write the letter himself!"

"Write to our aunt!"
