A team of 1,000 people from the Hongmen Whale Division, which had already been preparing for a long time, disembarked from Zhangzhou Mansion and slaughtered directly at Ruijin County, which was nearly 300 miles away, under the escort of fifteen warships.

The progress of the whole operation can be called a god-fast, when the soldiers of the other guards in Fujian have just finished their equipment and walked on the road to suppress the bandits, the soldiers of the Hongmen Whale Department, it only took about four days to come to Ruijin County, which was occupied by bandits and was looting and burning.

Li Tianyang's inaction, the carelessness of the local government over the years and their weak military strength made it easy for the peasant army to break through the gate of Ruijin County.

In the end, it was naturally the richest local gentry and landlord class who suffered the most serious crimes, and then it was the local ordinary people who were affected.

In fact, this is also the landlords and gentry themselves deserve it, as the most serious place for the land annexation of the entire Ming Dynasty, these greedy guys have almost occupied the entire prefecture and county of land that can be occupied, using various means.

When these people leased land to the people for profit, they imposed countless taxes and rents on their heads, and the people worked hard for a season, and in the end, what fell into their hands could not meet the expenses of their families for half a year.

If you catch up with an unsatisfactory year, and someone in the family dies of old age, sickness, wedding, funeral, and marriage, it will be even more difficult to pay the rent.

It is precisely because of them that there are countless local mountain bandits and green forest gangs, and those mountain bandits and bandits were originally not a group of honest ordinary peasants, but turned their heads into murderous and unblinking green forest heroes, and it can be said that they were all forced by the greedy landlords and gentry.

Therefore, when the rebellious peasant army came to power, the first unlucky ones were these greedy culprits, and under the guidance of hatred and wealth, when the common people, who were usually bullied and persecuted, released the demons in their hearts, their whole beings became devil-like beings.

Even Li Tianyang himself didn't expect that his cold-blooded exchange for the corpses of thousands of people in a county town was a wilderness, when the red-eyed peasants exuded a strong desire for wealth, women, etc., and each walked out of the gentry landlord's house with a full bag, these gentry landlords' homes, that is, chickens and dogs were not left, and there was no one alive.

The leaders of the mountain bandits and green forests who launched this rebellion also lost their control over the peasant army, and the common people who saw blood for the first time were dazzled by the wealth and women in front of them, and lost their minds.

Although Li Tianyang had been prepared for a long time and acted extremely quickly, when they came to Ruijin County, the entire city had become a place far more miserable than the countryside in the natural disaster.

Therefore, human beings will always be the most demon-like existence on the earth, and you can never imagine what kind of things a person can do when he does evil.

The rioting peasants in the ready-made did not expect that the Ming Dynasty military would act so quickly, in their memory, the group of soldiers in the Fujian Guard Station who flaunted their might all day long and ate and took cards, when something big happened, which one was not pushing, grinding and grinding!

Even the leaders of the mountain bandits who organized the rebellion did not expect that the army of the Ming Dynasty would come so quickly, and they had the confidence to launch a riot in Ruijin in response to the peasant rebellion in Shaanxi and Gansu, also because they had already found out the military situation of the guards around Ruijin, and they also planted a lot of spies in it, and they could receive their information at any time.

In fact, even if they got the news of the Hongmen Whale Department in advance, they didn't have much way to resist the attack of the Hongmen army, because the people they still had in their hands at this time were only the one hundred and eighty people in their own gang, and the rest of the people had already gone to all corners of the county to kill people and set fires.

When they are not satisfied, or feel a powerful existential crisis from the outside world, it is impossible for these people who have been bewitched by the mountain bandit leaders to rebel and accept the leadership of the leaders.

Not to mention that these bandit leaders and their henchmen are happily cleaning up the rich profits of this riot, who really cares about the seemingly calm and waveless city walls!

From Huludao to Ruijin, Niu Qiangwei, the commander of the first battalion of the whale department, who led the team, spent only six days, and the time when they came to the city wall was deliberately controlled by Niu Qiangwei after nightfall.

Hongmen soldiers have been fond of night battles for a long time, and their experience in night battles is also quite rich, so as Niu Qiangwei, who led the team to preside over the overall situation for the first time, the first combat method he thought of was night attack.

It only took half an hour to break through the city wall and open the south gate of Ruijin City, and the assault team that carried out the task of crossing the wall did not believe that near the most critical city gate, this group of rioting peasant troops had only sent a team of more than ten people; And on the wall of the city more than a mile, there was not even a single soldier on guard, only a few torches and dead wind lanterns hung alone on the narrow wall.

The gates of the city creaked open, and the well-trained soldiers of the Hongmen Gate, nervous but orderly in procession, easily entered the city of Ruijin, which emitted the smell of corpses, feces and urine, and the sound of mournful roars.

There were already guides recommended by the external guard intelligence system in the team, as well as members of the city who were bribed, co-opted, and themselves were members of the external guard intelligence system, and at the moment Niu Qiangwei and them entered the city, they came up from the dark corner, leading the way for Niu Qiangwei and them, looking for the important target of attack.

At the end of the ugly time, there was a sudden sound of shouting and killing in Ruijin County, which made the entire county scattered all over the place, and it was the mob that was still enjoying the joy of the world, and the mob did not know why, did not know what it was, and did not react for a long time.

And by the time they finally reacted, the bandit leaders who had instigated the mob uprising had already been wiped out by the Hongmen soldiers.

Next, under the leaderless group of dragons, the remaining group of mobs who couldn't even understand the basic military theory, in the case that they could not be the opponents of Hongmen in a head-on battle, they were at a disadvantage, and it only took late night to the next morning to clean them all up!
