The news of Zhang Xianzhong's arrival accompanied the little refugee's awakening and told Xiao Chuan, looking at the little girl next to Wang Haozi who was wearing cloth clothes and was very delicate, Xiao Chuan's eyes were strange, and he said, "This is the girl you saved?" Xiao Chuan's tone was strange, this Wang Hemp should be thankful if he didn't kill people, but today is the first time to see him save people! Looking at his eyes, he still seemed to care about the appearance of this little girl.

"Yes, big brother, I have already accepted him as my sister-in-law" Wang Haozi said, with a rare soft tone, looking at the girl with ghosts and elves on the side, but the girl shouted Brother in an ethereal voice, and Wang Haozi's cloudy eyes narrowed.

Xiao Chuan and Wang Heng glanced at each other, both of them felt incredible, when will Wang Haozi accept someone as a righteous sister? Ogawa pinched his face, or rather, everyone in the room pinched his face to confirm whether he was dreaming.

"My brother, punch me" Han Gang said to Han Tie, pinching his face again.

Han Tie didn't care about his brother, but hammered himself hard, his eyes glazed.

Xiao Chuan didn't look at this shocking scene, but said, "Sixty thousand troops? "And they are all elites, this is the most terrifying, Zhang Xianzhong has so many elites? And the infantry are all horse infantry, horse infantry, and the baggage is also transported by mule horse, this is the most terrifying place, such a strong mobility, such a huge elite army.

Looking at the map, he said strangely: "Why didn't he choose to go to the southeast, the territory of the wolf soldiers in Guangxi, and go here with me"

"Guangxi wolf soldiers are the elite of the world! Naturally, it looks stronger than our army that has just made a name for itself," Wang Heng said, shook his head, and said, "But he, Zhang Xianzhong, will soon regret the decision he made, hehe." ”

Although the group of people is peaceful on the surface, they all have such a different kind of pressure in their hearts, 60,000 thieves are attacking the city, and the number of enemy troops that has never been seen before, this is only the number of soldiers among them, how many homeless people will he encircle in the siege as cannon fodder?

Xiao Chuan shook his head, looked at the city, and said: "Since this is the case, there is only one battle, so that the thief will regret it, and go to Nanyang at that time."

"Lord, why don't we set up an ambush outside the city, ambush, ambush that Zhang Xianzhong?" Han Gang on the side said, looking at the map in the middle and said.

"No, Zhang Xianzhong's 60,000 horses, how can he ambush? I'm afraid that before the ambush is over, we will be surrounded by each other! Lantian said, as soon as Han Gang finished speaking, he came out to refute.

Han Gang's face turned pale, and he said: "How can we be surrounded, we can ambush it, a group of thieves, how can we surround our army?"

The crowd began to quarrel lively, and Wang Haozi, who usually likes to shout and raise the bar with others at this time, is standing quietly on the side at this moment, talking to the sister he just recognized.

It is also to arrange the task of defending the city, and assign the four city walls to be garrisoned. , Everyone went out to prepare, but the king took his sister-in-law to the city to buy clothes.

looked at Wang Heng on the side, but before Xiaochuan could speak, Wang Heng said: "It's okay, I don't think that little girl should be a spy or something!" ”

"I really didn't expect that this Wang Hezi would have such a side" Xiao Chuan exclaimed, it was really gentle, Hero Mound, but he saw that the little girl should not be interested in Wang Hezi, and he regarded him as Kaizi, but this Wang Hezi is such a vicious person but will be attacked by a woman, unbelievable.

"Hehe, lord, maybe that Wang Hezi just treats that little girl as his sister" Wang Hengda said with a smile, his tone was pleasant.

"Don't talk about this" Xiao Chuan clapped his hands, and after a while, a man in black from the blood killing team on the side appeared, holding a short knife in his hand, looking at him Xiao Chuan said, "How is it?" ”

"Lord, the evidence has been placed," he said, his voice disdainful, "Hmph, it's just a group of local chickens and dogs, and it's easy to sneak in." ”

"Is it okay to imitate the handwriting?" asked Ogawa, with a hint of worry in his heart.

"Okay, lord" The man said: "That family is really a thief, we don't need to frame it, I found the thief's letter in his family, there is no need to imitate it"

Hearing this news, Xiao Chuan and Wang Heng glanced at each other, both a little incredible, thief? Can the Manchu Qing explain it? This thief, hehe, what are they trying to do? Perhaps, just like the loss of the city of Beijing, everyone knew that the army was a person who robbed the government and the wealthy, but as a result, a group of ministers in the court and the central government rushed to be the second minister, always thinking that Li Zicheng could treat himself well after entering the city, but they were all unlucky.

On the side, he asked Xiangyi to prepare the clothes for that night, and then clicked on the system option, planning how to distribute the money after he earned it for a while, which is an important question.

A tent of 5,000 silver, plus about 20,000 silver, is a thousand Hun archers and cavalry, and 25,210,000 Hun cavalry, so what if you rob Beijing? Seventy million taels of silver, but millions of Hun archers, this huge temptation will make you unrecognizable to fight the capital.

There is also the beggar army, as well as the bearded soldiers, the old French guards have more options for expansion at the moment, but the 10,000 taels of silver in the back make themselves collapse, and they can be made up after this time, so the number of these armies, I am afraid that they can let themselves run rampant.

There is also the warship, and even more, the sailor warship, you can ignore all kinds of conditions, as long as you give money, you will go out of the ship, and when the time comes, you will form a sailor fleet, what are you afraid of Zheng Chenggong, just by virtue of the sailor, as soon as the Qing army comes over in the future, he can completely take the waterway to copy his hometown.

*************

Walk out of the mansion, look at the faint twilight, with a coolness in the air, the fresh air unique to the Ming Dynasty makes people feel refreshed, outside the door is the blue brick road, sit in the carriage, on both sides of the road is a poor refugee, just after the cold winter, someone is festering frostbite, leaving white pus, the back is carrying firewood, the tattered cloth clothes do not know how long they have been worn, some are full of patches, some patches are no, and there are cracks on the top.

The originally fresh air, at the moment, there was a foul smell, pulling lotus seeds, Xiangyi in the car was dressed in a pink dress, dressed gracefully and luxuriously, as beautiful as a lady, Xiaochuan immediately used her as a knee pillow and slept on the pillow.

After a while, getting up, Xiangyi pointed to the snow-white trousers, which were a little wrinkled by Xiao Chuan's head, and looked at him with disgust. I got out of the carriage.

Get off the carriage, this place is the mansion of the Tang King, the vermilion gate in front of the Qi has just been brushed, bright and bright, it looks very beautiful, the little guy at the door saw the Tianzi Xiangyi face and understood that the identity of Xiaochuan in front of him was not low, and immediately went to greet him.

When I walked in, the inside was completely different from the outer city I had just seen, like two worlds, pavilions, rockeries and ponds, and all the servants were gorgeously dressed.

In the inner lobby, half the size of a basketball court, the patriarchs of various families wearing long shirts and jade around their waists were already chatting there.

On the main seat was the fat Tang King, when he saw Xiao Chuan coming, his eyes were filled with a hint of joy, and he stood up with some difficulty, and said, "General Qin is here." ”

All the patriarchs looked over and looked at Xiao Chuan in a green shirt, but most of the people's eyes were attracted by Xiang Yi behind Xiao Chuan, seeing that she was dressed in red, like a noblewoman.

They all began to talk secretly, and many patriarchs looked at Xiaochuan with strange eyes, as if they were disdainful or worried.

The banquet that was originally going on had the feeling of going cold, looking at the patriarchs, Xiaochuan immediately clasped his fists and said: "Patriarchs, Xiaochuan is a soldier in Xiaqin, so he spoke quickly, and directly said the intention, that is, the military expenditure problem, I just received the intelligence of the sentry, the thief Zhang Xianzhong is about to approach Nanyang City, but our army is now short of food and clothing, and lack of food!" ”

Hearing the news that Zhang Xianzhong came to Nanyang City, all the people were like a frying pot, all of them looked frightened, and the Tang King's face was full of fear, and Wang Shuang on the side hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Lord Wang, there is General Qin, here, General Qin is here." ”

Liu Ying is also embarrassed, and the thieves really chose to break through here. The patriarchs looked panicked, and Zhang Xianzhong's methods against the family were extremely ruthless.

Looking at the group of family patriarchs who were already a little flustered, Zhang Xianzhong's prestige was too prosperous, so these patriarchs were afraid that when they wanted military expenses, it would not be too difficult, Xiaochuan said: "This time, our army has just defeated Liu Guoneng's department, but there is a lack of food and salary in the army, and the soldiers lack the fighting spirit.

After saying the next word, everyone reacted, and the young man in front of him was the Ming general who had just defeated Liu Guoneng in Jiangbei, and his heart was all disordered, but let them pay the money.

One of the triangular-eyed, thin patriarchs immediately stood up and said: "It is the duty of soldiers to serve the country when they are soldiers, and my Ming Dynasty feeds them is to let them go to war. ”

"That is, the court feeds you, not for you to ask for money, you need food and salary to defend a city, what kind of system will it become."

"I think you are raising thieves to invite credit!" The triangular-eyed patriarch said, he lifted his pipe hat, with disdain on his face, and said: "It is your duty to guard the city, don't you give money, you won't fight?" What a joke! ”

Xiao Chuan didn't speak, just looked at the patriarch calmly, their reaction was the same as what Wang Heng said, and he was not without a follow-up. On the side, Xiang Yi was about to pull out his long sword, but Xiao Chuan pressed his jade arm.

The face of King Tang on the side changed, he hurriedly came over to play a round, and said: "Hehe, patriarchs, this is not that General Qin is greedy for military salaries, but that his troops have indeed had no military salaries for too long, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit, so it is indeed difficult to fight." He added, "Therefore, this king proposed, everyone pooled money, scraped together enough military salaries, the army held the city, and beat Zhang Xianzhong, so that everyone could live safely." ”

Those patriarchs all eased their expressions and gave face to the Tang King, and the triangular-eyed patriarch pouted his lips and said, "Okay, since this is the case, we will gather the military salary for the sake of the Tang King's face."

Xiao Chuan clapped his hands, and at this time, two men in black with plates walked in.

The triangular-eyed patriarch took out ten taels of silver from his cuffs in pain, and said: "Alas, this is a month's ration money for my Zhang family, General Qin, you must fight well, you must know that my Zhang family will starve for a month in order to make up enough for your military expenses."

"The elder starved for a month in order to eliminate the thieves, it is really noble, and we are ashamed of ourselves."

"Zhang Lao Gaoyi" All the patriarchs praised this patriarch, as if he had done a great thing for the benefit of the country.

Xiao Chuan's eyes jumped, and he glanced at Xiangyi, they were all unbelievable, shameless, the first time I saw such a brazen person, and I still pay ten taels of silver a month, and the goldfish you eat every day is more than this money. This group of patriarchs is really shameless, just like Emperor Chongzhen asked the ministers to donate money when Li Zicheng besieged the city, and those rich ministers actually said that they were honest and saved no money at home, and they said that they were as honest as Hai Rui, and when Li Zicheng entered the city, they were all unlucky, exceeding 70 million taels of silver.

"Alas, this is the two taels of silver that my Liu family originally left for my son to marry, take it away, my Liu family's heart to serve the country, the sun and the moon can be seen, and the sun and the moon can be seen, and the sun and the moon will be clear."

"My Zhou family has always been poor, and the family only eats meat for a meal, and this tael of silver is my family's meat money for half a year, alas, the old man will not eat meat for half a year, alas" He said distressedly and took out a tael of silver, and the gold bracelet in his hand flashed with a different kind of light.

Those patriarchs all began to discuss how these poor patriarchs would live in the future if Xiaochuan took so much money from their family.

The man in black came to King Tang, King Tang lost a sigh of relief, and said: "This king has recently been because of this" He wanted to say what reason, but he couldn't think of it, embarrassed, and the little guy on the side whispered in his ear, he hurriedly said: "Because of the relief of the victims outside the city, for the well-being of my Daming Society, but at the moment it is scarce" He took out ten taels of silver, and put it on the plate quite painfully, and the silver fell on the plate with a crisp sound of a blue wolf, and his heart trembled.

Looking at the hundreds of taels of silver on the plate in front of him, Xiao Chuan's eyes were straight, and he looked at this group of gorgeously dressed patriarchs crying poor, and he felt a sense of subverting his worldview. Said: "Patriarchs, do you still have money?" ”

"No, why are you so scoundrel and extorting money from many of our good people, alas, many of my families have given you money for the sake of Daming Sheji, and you even ask me if I still have money" The triangular-eyed patriarch stood up and said.

"Since that's the case, I'll start arresting people" Xiao Chuan clapped his hands, and ———— there was a sound of footsteps coming from the stepping, and the men in black with swords in their hands walked in.

Bai He, the leader, held a letter in his hand and said: "The Chen family in Nanyang, a thief, is an unforgivable crime. ”
