Chapter 54 The Destruction of Zhujiazhuang
As night fell, a gap in a courtyard wall in Zhujiazhuang quietly opened. Then, under the cover of night, Zhu Chaofeng and Zhu Long escorted their families with more than 200 henchmen.
Looking back at Zhujiazhuang, who was already in a mess, Zhu Long's face was ugly. "I don't want me to wish Jiazhuang a hundred years of wisdom and ruin!"
Zhu Chaofeng sighed and said: "The tree is falling and scattered!" I haven't noticed it yet, I'll leave quickly! ”
Zhu Long didn't worry about his father all the way, so he opened his mouth and persuaded: "Dad, I'll protect you and rush out first." ”
Zhu Chaofeng shook his head and said, "I can't run fast on a horse, and I will burden you." Run away by yourself, if you are lucky enough to escape with your life, you will make a comeback with your third brother! ”
"Children are not filial." After all, Zhu Long still didn't want to accompany Zhu Chaofeng to wait for death, so he knelt down and kowtowed, turned around and walked towards the village. Behind him, hundreds of henchmen and family members followed, all of whom wished their families, so they were willing to follow.
Zhu Long led people to run for about a mile, and suddenly heard the shouting and killing sound in the direction of Zhujiazhuang. Guess it might be on my father's side, already at war. Afraid that he would be stopped by others, he wished Long to hurry up, even his wife couldn't take care of it.
After running for another mile or so, a person suddenly flashed out of the path ahead, with a face like the bottom of a pot and an axe in both hands. It was the Liangshan Black Whirlwind that brought the men and horses to intercept and kill.
When Zhu Long looked at Li Kui, he was timid. The second brother Zhu Hu died in the hands of Li Kui, and at this time he had no intention of fighting and did not dare to fight the enemy.
Turning the horse's head, Zhu Long fled diagonally in the other direction.
"Take your life!"
When the soldiers of Zhujiazhuang saw it on the side, they couldn't help shouting in unison: "The eldest prince beware." ”
Zhu Long didn't know well when he heard it, and when he wanted to dodge, it was too late. Listening to the ding, a sharp arrow was shot on the heart guard of Zhu Longhou's heart, and the heart guard made of terrazzo copper was smashed and cracked. Zhu Long only felt a sweetness in his throat, and he wanted to endure it but couldn't hold back, and a trace of dirty blood still remained from the corner of his mouth.
Over there, Yang Zhi was unforgiving, urging the horse to kill. The blade is fierce, and it directly takes the head of Zhu Longxiang.
Knowing that Yang Zhi is not easy to mess with, if he doesn't solve him, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape. Zhu Long returned to fight Yang Zhi, and in the blink of an eye, six or seven rounds passed.
Zhu Long felt that Yang Zhi was a little more powerful than the previous time, so the iron spear in his hand did not seek merit but no fault, and defended with all his might.
Li Kui saw that Yang Zhi intercepted Zhulong to fight, so he went to Zhujiazhuang to kill the soldiers. A pair of plate axes, tiger and tiger.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer subordinates, and the direction of Zhujiazhuang also stopped shouting and killing, Zhu Long retreated.
resisted for a while, and was about to escape by taking the road, but was caught up by Yang Zhi from behind.
"Yes." With a knife down, I wish the dragon a good adult's head flying.
Zhujiazhuang Zhuang Ding saw that Zhulong died in battle, who was willing to fight hard here, and fled to the village one after another.
•••••••
"Zhujiazhuang is broken like this?"
Watching the suspension bridge in Zhujiazhuang slowly lowered, Li Ying couldn't say how he felt.
Wang Lun nodded, and instructed Ma Ling on the side: "You lead your troops to patrol the Zhuang Sentinel, and take advantage of the chaos to kill without forgiveness." ”
"Yes."
Ma Ling responded and took his subordinates to the village.
It turned out that after Zhu Chaofeng's father and son escaped, Wang Lan was the first to find out. He knew that if he resisted, he would die, so he opened the door and surrendered. The people of Zhujiazhuang were also cold to Zhu Chaofeng's father and son, and they approved with both hands.
Looking at Wang Lan, who was carefully following him, Wang Lun said: "You are a person who knows the times, I won't treat you badly, take us to the Zhujia compound first." ”
"Thank you, heroes, please come in."
Wang Lan thanked Wang Lun, and then led everyone into the village in front of the side.
Zhujiazhuang is only more than 100 miles away from Liangshan, and the people in the village have heard about Liangshan doing the way for the sky, so there is no chaos in the village, and the Zhuang Ding who escaped from the village wall also fled home, and no one dared to take the opportunity to make trouble.
As soon as everyone entered the village, Yang Zhi caught up from behind.
Wang Lun saw Yang Zhi coming up, so he asked, "Did my brother catch that guy?" ”
Yang Zhi smiled: "I met it, but I killed it cleanly." ”
Zhu Chaofeng died in the chaos, Zhu Long also died at the hands of Yang Zhi, and only one Zhu Biao was left in Zhujiazhuang.
It is worth mentioning that the antidote to poisonous wine was found in Zhu Chaofeng's body, but Wang Lun had a heart disease. It's just that Wang Xin and Shi Xiu had already set off, and they couldn't catch up, so Wang Lun didn't send anyone to chase them. For doctors such as miracle doctors, Liangshan is also scarce.
Everyone laughed and came to Zhu Chaofeng's house.
The people in the village in the courtyard have all fled back to their homes, and only some people who have nowhere to go are waiting anxiously for the arrival of the heroes of Liangshan in the front yard.
Wang Lun and several leaders entered the Zhuangzi, and when they saw many subordinates standing in the courtyard, they asked these people to go to the threshing floor in the village first, and at the same time asked the people in the village to go to the threshing floor.
Wang Lan invited Wang Lun and others into the front hall, Wang Lun sat in the main seat, and Zhu Wu, Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, Li Kui, Yang Lin, Zhu Gui and others sat in the guest seats on both sides.
Everyone sat down, Wang Lun looked at Wang Lan standing in the hall, and said, "How much grain is in Zhujiazhuang?" ”
Wang Lan knew that this was his own vote, and counted it when he opened the door and surrendered. He didn't hesitate, and replied directly: "More than 2,000 taels of gold, 60,000 taels of silver, and some scattered silver coins are less than 10,000 yuan, and grain is more than 100,000 stones." ”
Li Kui jumped to his feet when he heard this, and shouted: "This dog official, who will have more silver than him?" It's good to be dead! ”
Lin Chong knew that there were mostly corrupt officials today, and sighed: "There are many people in Tokyo and Jiangnan who have millions of assets, and Zhu Chaofeng is not very rich. ”
Yang Zhi once went to Jiangnan to escort Hua Shigang, and nodded when he heard this: "What Sect Leader Lin said is right, Jiangnan is even richer. In the early years, a Jiangnan child went to Tokyo to play, in order to show off his wealth, he once invited all the drinkers to eat a night in Fanlou, spending tens of thousands of yuan, which shows that Jiangnan is rich. ”
Zhu Wu was more concerned about the captured grain, and said to everyone with a smile: "With the 100,000 stone grain of Zhujiazhuang, my Liangshan army can expand again!" ”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and their own soldiers and horses could also be increased.
In the Water Margin, Song Jiang seized 500,000 stone grain after breaking Zhujiazhuang.
In this era, there was a shortage of oil and water, and a strong man could eat two liters of rice a day, which was only more than seven stones a year, and 100,000 stones were enough for more than 10,000 strong men to eat for a year.
Wang Lun was thinking about his promise to Yang Zhi, and asked excitedly, "How many war horses did Zhuang Shang buy?" ”
"More than seven hundred."
Yang Zhi heard these many war horses, and said in surprise: "Now my horse army has fallen." ”
All the leaders did not expect that the harvest of Zhujiazhuang would be greater than that of Yamaguchi Town and Hecai Town before.
Except that Wang Lun had some fantasies in his heart, because he remembered that Song Jiang broke Zhujiazhuang in the Water Margin and seized 500,000 stone of grain.
Song Jiang broke Zhujiazhuang two years later, and now Zhujiazhuang may not have 500,000 stone grain, but the money to buy 500,000 stone grain should also be available.
After the autumn harvest, Liangshan was ready to buy grain and grass, and after getting more than 100,000 stone of grain, Liangshan only needed to buy a small amount of some more.
However, more than 100,000 stone of grain could not be transported by 3,000 horse infantry troops, so Wang Lun immediately asked people to transfer the ships of the army and all the carriages of the cottage.
The navy went north along the Jishui, and the big boat could reach Zhujiazhuang more than 20 miles away, and the small boat could follow the small river under Dulonggang to the near place.
First use small boats to transport grain and grass to the water's edge, and then use large boats.
Although the two big ships in Liangshan are not giant ships that can carry 10,000 stones, they can also carry 2,000 stones, and a few ships of 2,300 stones can also transport 5,000 stones of grain at a time.
After a little calculation, Wang Lun also had a headache.
It is no wonder that the delivery capacity of the cottage is poor, and Tokyo transports grain at five to six million stone a year, but there are 6,000 ships, and they are transported three or four times a year.
The land transportation capacity is even worse, a carriage is about 10 stones, and all the horses in Liangshan are only more than 400 horses, and all of them can only transport more than 3,000 stones of grain at one time.
After resting in Zhujiazhuang for a day, Luda, Guanghui, Shibao, Shanshiqi and others who completed the blocking task on the second day also returned to the camp to hand over orders.
Lu Zhishen's enemies all the way were rabble, not worth mentioning.
Only Shi Bao is a two-gun general Dong Ping, and Zhu Jia's three tigers Zhu Biao. Shi Bao injured Dong Ping with a flying hammer, and Zhu Biao stabbed Hu Cheng with a shot, and both sides had their own victories and defeats. Dong Ping saw that although his soldiers were miserable, and the generals were not as good as Liangshan, he knew that he could not take the initiative to retreat.
Wang Lun counted the casualties of various departments, with a total of three or four hundred dead and wounded.
Compared with the harvest, Wang Lun also felt that the casualties were not large, and no one among the leaders was killed, so he was still very happy.
After everyone said a few more words, Zhu Gui sent someone to tell the people in the village that they were all threshing in the village.
Wang Lun and the leaders came to the threshing floor and became the master of the blue sky again.
The people only sued a few murder cases with deep grievances, and they didn't dare to talk to the heroes of Liangshan about ordinary disputes, lest the government chase them in the future.
The people who sued could only go to Liangshan to join the gang, and Zhu Wu had already sent someone to register those who were willing to join the gang.
There are nearly 1,000 families in Zhujiazhuang, and there are only more than 30 people who are willing to go in the end.
After taking care of the affairs of Zhujiazhuang, Wang Lun took people to escort Zhujiazhuang's money and goods and more than 700 war horses back to the camp.
The scorching sun is in the sky, and the autumn tiger is in full swing.
The soldiers of Liangshan put on their helmets and armor, and after walking for a few miles, they were all sweating through their clothes, but everyone was elated.
Not counting the grain still in Zhujiazhuang, there are more than 500,000 yuan of money and goods just pulled in the middle, and after returning to Liangshan, everyone can get dozens of yuan.
