Chinese like to celebrate, although now the war is chaotic, but the couplet and firecrackers are indispensable.

After dinner, the sound of firecrackers knocked the whole city non-stop, and the roads were full of people, everyone filled the whole street, all smiling faces, praying for a safe year.

In the middle of the night, the weather is even colder, and many people are too late to run to their homes to rest, and the crowd on the street slowly becomes scarce.

In the third watch season, two loud noises suddenly sounded outside the south city gate, and some old people did not have the sleepiness to take a look, only to see two firecrackers rushing into the sky, and a little spark appeared within a radius of several meters.

Everyone was envious, muttering in their mouths, this is the family that is so rich, and now they are still setting off this kind of firecrackers.

Some dozing off secretly complained to themselves, now that there are many natural disasters, why do you set off so many firecrackers tonight?

And at this moment, there were bursts of gongs and drums outside the south gate, and some people shouted loudly that the Daoist soldiers were coming, everyone hurry up to the city gate, go to the city gate.

Some shouted that the righteous army had entered the city, so that everyone should not snipe lightly, so as not to be injured.

Everyone was stunned in their hearts, volunteers, Yang Lin? Could it be that tonight will go into Ba County to rescue everyone?

Everyone couldn't sleep, and many people put on their clothes haphazardly and hid in the cracks of the door to watch what was going on.

Since the rioters rebelled five years ago, and Yao Huang occupied Ba County three years ago, no one has ever lived in peace.

The 6th Battalion General Jing Keqin, who was ambushed outside the city, had already concentrated his troops, and when he saw the city gate slowly open, he waved his hand and led his troops into the city.

At this time, in the Bazhou Prefecture Yazhong, Yao Huanger's head Huang Long was rubbing his eyes again and again, listening to a small leader nagging: "The boss, the general trend is not good."

Now the city is full of fires, the south gate has been opened, and the volunteers have entered the city.

Just now, the little one went out to see, the fire dragon ten miles long outside the city, it seems that the volunteers took advantage of our New Year to sneak attack our Ba County. ”

Huang Long was shocked, he had worked hard for several years, and finally occupied the city of Bazhou, and lived a life of clothes to stretch out his hands and eat to open his mouth, if he was driven out by the volunteers like this, how could he live when it was cold outside?

Turned over and got up, shivered and put on cotton clothes, and after a long time of hard work, he put on his cloth armor and came to the front of the lobby, and the two hundred personal guards around him gathered less than 100 people.

Huang Long seemed quite hesitant, and his wife and concubines around him all felt that something was wrong, and they ran over one by one and shouted loudly, asking everyone to move away all the gold, silver, jewelry, and valuable things.

In the past, everyone was born in hardship, but now they have enough food and clothing, although they are fleeing for their lives, everyone is reluctant to give up these treasures.

Seeing his wife and concubine desperately stuffing money into his waist, Huang Long seemed quite hesitant.

Yang Lin is a talented soldier, scheming, and if he is not completely sure, he will not dare to sneak attack his lair.

And as the other party expected, now is the time when he is the weakest, and now the local rioters within a radius of more than 30 miles for the New Year have gone home for the New Year, and now there are less than 1,000 people in the city, and the only ones who can really fight are their own two hundred personal guards.

Don't fight desperately, but it's a pity that this flower and country, through several years of operation, he has taken root in this Bazhou city, so that the city has become his own private garden.

Huang Long was horrified, shouting loudly to gather the troops, so that after waiting for another stick of incense, two hundred personal guards were assembled.

But now things are not good, and everyone has just rushed out of the yamen when they meet the volunteers.

At the same time as opening the city gate to receive the brigade into the city, Cao Siji led more than 50 people to kill Xiangzhou Yamen, and met Huang Long and others from afar.

Now seeing the posture of the other party asking for money and not dying, everyone was overjoyed and came over with weapons held high.

Although there are many people, they don't train much, and after being attacked by sneak attacks, they are all frightened, and they don't dare to fight at all, how can they be the opponents of the volunteers.

After a fight, he was actually defeated, and under the protection of two guards, Huang Long's face was covered with blood, and he desperately fled to the north of the city.

But the yellow dragon's golden helmet and golden armor are particularly conspicuous, and what is even worse is that the silver taels that were previously stuffed in the robe can't be cared about at all, and they trotted all the way out.

Cao Siji shouted loudly in the back, and chased after him closely.

Yao Huang's second leader, Huang Long, fled to the north, and there was money all over his body, and some good people in the city couldn't sit still, and everyone participated in the roundup.

Seeing that the volunteers were getting closer and closer, and he was surrounded by groups, Huang Long knew that his crime was extremely evil, sighed several times, and finally raised his gun to kill himself.

The whole city was in chaos, especially after Huanglong's suicide, the local rioters in the city were even more terrified, everyone fled everywhere, and some even took advantage of the looting of the villagers.

Because there were too many local rioters scattered in the city and there was no time to assemble, and the number of volunteers was too small, the riots did not subside until noon the next day, and the volunteers took control of the city.

Riding on the horse, Jing Keqin comforted everyone, while the assistant office and the secretary of the department registered the prisoners, arranged the places of detention, and determined the method of trial, while comforting everyone, except for a few who committed great crimes and committed all kinds of evil, after the interrogation was completed, the other prisoners either returned to their homes or arranged for farming.

Since the beginning of last year, a number of cantonment places have been established in Pengzhou, Dazhou, and Guang'an Prefecture, and many prisoners have lived and worked in peace and contentment.

If it weren't for the dangers of the road, many people might have already defected to the volunteers to eat, and now they have become prisoners, and everyone is not very afraid, and some of them even talk and laugh.

At noon, Jing Keqin and Wang Jianjun entered the Zhizhou Yamen together, the entire Yamen was in a mess, hearing that Huanglong was dead, his family members were crying, so it was not desolate.

Turning over and dismounting, Jing Keqin led his subordinates straight to the secret room, and when he was still in Yao Huang in the past, he heard that Huang Long likes to accumulate wealth.

Since joining the Volunteer Army, I feel that it is different from other armies, in the Volunteer Army, the assistant and the secretary general manage the logistics of the army, manage the money, and boost the morale of the army, so as to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army and avoid corruption by the main generals.

This year, one of the assistant was killed for corruption.

Now, although the city of Bazhou is captured, if it is found that it is harboring silver taels, it will definitely be punished.

With the two secretaries, open the secret room, although some were stolen because of the war, most of the silver is still there.

According to rough estimates, the secret room contained seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver and thousands of taels of gold.

Jing Keqin breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately asked people to be on guard outside, and ordered the two secretaries to lead several personal soldiers to count the goods.

But Jing Keqin didn't dare to be too careless, so he asked people to find a tent room, and roughly estimated that there were 100,000 taels of silver in the Huanglong secret room.

After hearing that the volunteers had entered the city, some family members and soldiers in the house took advantage of the chaos to steal some.

Jing Keqin was furious and immediately posted a notice, urging those who stole gold and silver to return it immediately, otherwise they would be punished according to the crime of theft.

In order to avoid suspicion, the deputy office of the military king was responsible for leading the recovery of stolen money, while Jing Keqin led his troops to garrison various city gates and arranged personnel to patrol the main streets of the city.
