Stampeding, the sound of horses' hooves, a burst of black cavalry around a big man, wearing fur clothes, like wolves like a pack of Huns surrounded the big man, looking very fierce and very fierce. It is a major transportation artery in Gangnam Province. Jiangnan Province, which was later Anhui, Jiangsu, and Shanghai, was Jiangnan Province in the Ming Dynasty and was the political envoy of Jiangnan, which can be described as the strongest province in the country.

Several other main roads were blocked by Xuanda soldiers and horses, as well as the Zuoliangyu Department of Jiangbei, as well as the wolf soldiers of Guangxi, and the Ming armies of all roads marched together, in order to encircle and suppress Zhang Xianzhong who was out of Sichuan.

And what you want to go to is an important road, Nanyang, the city of Nanyang, because it is located in the south of Funiu Mountain, north of Hanshui, so it is called Nanyang, this beautiful city, in the Ming Dynasty also has a special meaning, the fief of the Tang Dynasty.

Tang King Zhu Yujiao, who became Emperor Shaowu of the Southern Ming Dynasty a few decades later, became a poor puppet, and even because he had no military power, he found four pirates with the surname of the time to act as a façade. At this time, he had just inherited the title of King of Tang, and he was still a standard Ming unscrupulous prince who ate and waited for death, these Ming princes were a group of wastes who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, which was the famous pig raising policy of the Ming Dynasty.

If these princes are known as virtuous, they are plotting against each other, and they often do not end well, just like the king of Qi, when King Qin took his poor soldiers to the rescue, he was imprisoned for leaving the fiefdom without authorization. It can be described as having poured eight lifetimes of blood mold.

Of course, this is just an individual case, most of them are Daming moths who eat and wait to die and annex the land. At that time, King Fu could be described as rich in the world, richer than the imperial court, but he didn't have to hand over a penny, and in the end it was all cheaper Li Zicheng.

For these princes, Xiaochuan is not interested at all, just a group of wastes under the pig raising policy of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise the four dynasties of the Southern Ming Dynasty would not be more wasteful than the other, but they have money. And how to fool out the money of this vassal king has become the top priority of his own guest army.

In front of him sat a young general, dressed in iron armor and heroic, it was Wang Huaiming, who had killed fifteen thieves in the pursuit of the last battle, and was personally received by Xiao Chuan. said: "General, can you change my weapon?" He asked.

"Don't worry, wait until Nanyang" Xiao Chuan opened the curtain after speaking, and saw Nanyang City in the distance, the huge city, the majestic construction of the city wall, from a distance, like a giant dragon across the earth. The soldiers on the city wall were listless, and at this moment, they were all frightened when they saw the black soldiers outside the city, especially a group of Hu people.

How could the soldiers have seen such an elite, cavalry unit of this scale, the Huns or the cavalry under Xiaochuan all made them fearful, especially the wolf pack version of the cavalry unit surrounded by Dayi, which made people's hearts tremble.

But it didn't stop it, it seems that even if I got the news before, on the city wall, I walked down and pulled a group of officials down, one of them was quite obese, I think it was Tang King Zhu Yujian, and another person was thin, with fine eyes in his eyes, and kept showing a flattering smile to Tang Wang, it was Nanyang Taishou Liu Ying, and there was a person wearing iron armor, very fat, white-skinned, and the person who couldn't see the shadow of the military general at all was Wang Shuang, the commander of the capital.

The commander and the prefect were all surrounded by the Tang King, and the three of them were all amazed when they saw the army entering the city, Zhu Yujian's fat face was full of fat, and he shook as he walked, pointing to the sergeant under the city wall, and exclaimed: "What a warrior, a warrior!" He said, God immediately felt extremely relaxed, and said, "With such a warrior stationed in Nanyang, this king is safe!" He said this, his expression was relieved, he was nervous that Zhang Xianzhong might have passed from here, and he had not slept for a few days. At this moment, seeing such an elite army entering the city, my heart was relieved, and the city was defended.

"Hehe, His Royal Highness the King of Tang, I heard that this army has just killed and defeated the Chuang army and slashed Liu Guoneng!" Wang Shuang on the side said, with envy in his eyes, how good it would be if I had such a strong army, with jealousy in his heart.

"Hehe, then Liu Guoneng is just a group of thieves!" Liu Yingdao, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, he was quite disdainful of this group of sergeants, just a group of Qiu Ba.

Slippery, bursts of neighing of war horses, and bursts of strange roars of the Hu people, looking at the Hun cavalry below with a fierce spirit, like a wolf pack, the Tang King trembled with fright, and the Wang Shuang on the side immediately came over to help, but his head was full of cold sweat, and he was very struggling, supporting the Tang King who was like a fat pig.

"There are Mongolian cavalry!" King Tang immediately said, treating the Huns as Mongols, he was afraid, and said: "What's going on, how can there be Mongols under General Qin!" ”

"This, I heard that it was a barbarian he recruited from the sea" Liu Yingdao on the side, as a prefect, he was naturally well-informed, and he knew the specific situation, that is, he said. Tang Wang breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat on his head. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's really rare that there are few heroes in the world, even the Mongols can be tamed" He said, with such a powerful cavalry guard, his city will be more stable, and he can continue to eat and wait for a good life in the future.

Da Yi entered the city, drove through the city gate, and Xiaochuan got out of the car.

"But so, this Nanyang is not as tall as the city wall of Shunchang Fort as tall as mine," Wang Huaiming pouted and said, his eyes narrowed, and the city of Shunchang Fort naturally has a systematic bonus, and it is majestic.

"That's natural, the officials here are deducting silver taels, how can they have the money to build the city wall." Wang Heng said with a smile, and the group approached the city wall.

A few people came in the distance, it was the three Tang Wang, the three Tang Wang all came, and when they saw Xiao Chuan, who was dressed in armor, they all looked strange, and they never thought that this elite general of a hundred battles would be such a young general, and they were all shocked.

Xiaochuan and the others hurriedly saluted this Tang King, seeing this fat man, it was really a pig-raising policy, not to mention that this kind of person went to the battlefield to fight, and it was difficult to walk.

Tang Wang tried to squeeze out a very ugly kind smile, and said: "I think the general is General Qin who defeated Liu Guoneng in Jiangbei, but the heroic and martial arts are extraordinary, haha, he has made such a great contribution at such a young age, and it is my father's demeanor to not lose." ”

Wang Shuang, the commander on the side, had jealousy in his eyes, and said sourly: "Yes, General Qin is young and promising, and he is more powerful than us veterans, it is really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves" Liu Ying did not speak, looking arrogant.

"Alas, His Royal Highness the King of Tang praised it, the defeat of Liu Guoneng was the life of the whole army, not my credit" Xiao Chuan said, Tang Wang appreciated it even more in his heart, and looked at Xiao Chuan's eyes revealing an indescribable light.

"Your Highness, the soldiers of the next army have just defeated Liu Guoneng's department, and the grain, grass and ordnance have not been replenished! This," Xiao Chuan said, speaking directly, directly asked about the issue of food.

"It's all arranged by Governor Liu" Tang Wang said, he didn't pull out a dime, it was impossible for him to pay, and immediately kicked the ball to that Liu Ying. Liu Ying's face immediately changed, and he said: "Your Highness, the treasury in the lower mansion has long been empty, and you also know that some time ago, we gave relief to the victims!" In the next is for the Qing officials, there is really no money" He is also a dime, sacrificed the killer weapon of the Ming Dynasty officials, pretending to be honest, at that time, Emperor Chongzhen asked the minister to donate, but the group of rich officials actually said that they were incorruptible, and there was no money at home, and in the end they were all cheap Li Zicheng.

Hearing him say this, Xiaochuan's eyes changed, don't give money, what kind of battle do you let me fight, and said kindly: "Alas, there is no food in the lower army, but the generals and soldiers in the army are scattered because there is no money and food, and when the time comes, Zhang Xianzhong will attack, if this city is ......" This is a bit threatening, you don't give me money, I don't fight, and in the end it is you who are unlucky, and it has nothing to do with me.

Wang Heng said on the side: "Yes, the sentinel of our army came to report that Zhang Xianzhong is likely to break through from Nanyang, and this place is a traffic artery. He added another fire to it.

Liu Ying pursed his lips, remembering that the punishment of those landless officials was a burst of fear, at this moment the Ming Dynasty was strict with civil officials, and the head of the military general was lenient, and said helplessly: "Think of a way, think of a way" He wiped the sweat stains on his head, but he didn't want to pay a dime, and said: "If this is the case, let the families in the city make it up" He kicked the ball to the family in the city again.

Tang Wang nodded, he is also a dime, although the king of the Ming Dynasty is a waste, but when he encounters money, he is more than one by one, otherwise the Ming Dynasty will not be so poor, said: "In this way, I will set up a banquet to entertain the patriarchs of various families in the evening, and ask them to apportion the military expenses when the time comes. He wanted to find a reason to say why he was poor, but he couldn't think of any reason, so he was silent for a while, and said directly: "Okay, tonight's banquet, General Qin, you must be there!" He said in a fervent tone.

As soon as he talked about money, he immediately became shrewd, completely different from the waste just now, he understood that military expenses were spent like running water, and if he could let the families out, let the families pay, and it was best for him not to pay a tael of silver.

Xiaochuan and his entourage were dumbfounded, the prefect pushed it to the vassal king, and the vassal king pushed it to the family, I'm afraid that none of those families will want to pay for it at that time, but it doesn't matter, is the dinner? When the time comes, there is a way for them to pay together.

Wang Huaiming and the others in the back were shocked, these people were so rich that they could just pay a little money enough for their own military expenses, but what about them? They all pretend to be poor, and they are unwilling to give out such a little money.

A group of people entered the city, and left Wang Haozi to spy outside the city to spy on intelligence, and the others entered the city.
