A day later, on July 16, Tang Xidong, who had just escaped from a long period of busyness, received a piece of information that made him angry.

The sound of horses' hooves was rapid, and the spies went straight to the office of the Pingyang New Town Intelligence Bureau.

Then a piece of information was sent to Tang Xidong's government by the Minister of Intelligence Cao Ran.

Two Pingyang caravans that were trading south were robbed by the Shaanxi rebels near Yicheng, and all 500 caravans were slaughtered, and the coarse salt and grain worth 5,000 taels of silver were all looted by the other side.

As soon as he heard the information, Tang Xidong's anger filled his chest.

As soon as the Ming army was defeated, the Shaanxi rebels came to the door.

Previous intelligence showed that the Shaanxi rebels had been entrenched in the Qinshui and Yangcheng areas outside the boundaries of Pingyang, and originally everyone did not interfere with the river water, and did not want the other party to take the initiative to plunder their caravans.

Although Tang Xidong has always been in Pingyang City, he has never been out of the Pingyang boundary.

But after defeating the Guanning army led by Cao Wenzhao, the prestige of the entire Luoliang Mountain has spread all over the country, who doesn't know that Pingyang Mansion has a Tang Xidong who defeated Cao Wenzhao and fled.

Unexpectedly, even so, the other party still dared to plunder their own caravan under the banner of Luoliang Mountain, which was clearly not taking themselves in their eyes.

Five hundred caravan members were slaughtered, and it won't take long for this matter to spread throughout Pingyang City, and if you don't respond, you will inevitably lose people's hearts, at least the people who go out in the caravan will have the sadness and coldness of the rabbit and the fox.

Tang Xidong must fight back.

Yesterday, Tang Xidong had just given birth to the idea of stepping out of the boundary of Pingyang City and expanding out with his team, and someone added a handful of firewood for him today.

If someone doesn't offend me, I won't offend anyone, but if someone offends me, kill him cleanly!

The anger in his heart was unbearable, and Tang Xidong directly summoned everyone to gather at the military headquarters.

The speed of the intelligence network is much faster than that of the caravan, as the Minister of Commerce, Jia Huaizhong was confused when he was summoned to the military department, and the disappearance of the caravan has not yet been transmitted.

At the Military Department, Minister Li Shangquan, Captain of Luoliangshan Company Zhang Sanshi, Commander Jia Hu of the First Regiment of Pingyang, Deputy Regiment Commander Zhang Xiahai, Minister of Intelligence Cao Ran, Minister of Commerce Jia Huaizhong, Minister of Finance Liu Lianqing, Minister of Agriculture Deng Dahu, and Minister of Personnel Liu Dagou gathered together.

The people who were confused waited until they heard the information about the slaughter of the caravan robbed people reported by Cao Ran, and then looked at Tang Xidong with a gloomy face, and understood Tang Xidong's intention to gather everyone today.

"Commerce is one of the cornerstones of the stability of Binh Duong City, the trade route is restless, the caravan is killed, it will inevitably affect the finances of Binh Duong, if you blindly let the other party be arrogant, wanton killing people and plundering goods, it will inevitably affect the financial system of Binh Duong City, and everything that has just been established will be destroyed."

"The Shaanxi rebels wantonly looted our Pingyang caravan, the caravan personnel were slaughtered, and the goods were robbed, this is a deep hatred, and it is not enough to vent anger without counterattacking!"

"Order, the Luoliang Mountain Company was stationed in Pingyang City and Luoliang Mountain, and Li Shangquan was fully responsible for the defense of the two places. All the soldiers of the 1st Regiment of Binh Duong are in a state of combat readiness and are ready to go to Yicheng at any time to fight against the arrogance of the rebels! This time, Tang Mou wanted to personally lead the army to Pingjiao, and the affairs of Pingyang City were temporarily presided over by Liu Lianqing, with the assistance of others! ”

"In addition, count the number and identity of the caravan victims, and order the Welfare Bureau to carry out the aftermath of the funeral."

Tang Xidong ordered, and the reactions of the people present were mixed.

Li Shangquan's face was solemn, and the defense of Pingyang City was a big matter, and he felt pressure.

Jia Hu and Zhang Xiahai were slightly excited, waiting for a long time, sharpening their soldiers and horses, and finally being able to go to the battlefield.

And Liu Lianqing was worried, and she wanted to stop talking, the previous defense battle of Pingyang City almost killed Tang Xidong, her injuries had just recovered, and now she was going to fight in person, how could she not worry, but looking at the killing intent on Tang Xidong's face, she still didn't open her mouth to stop it, and the girl knew that the matter in front of her was not something that the elder of her children could stop.

After the meeting was adjourned, the entire city of Binh Duong began to take action.

Before the soldiers and horses move the grain and grass, all the war readiness resources need to be prepared in advance.

Just when Tang Xidong was waiting for everything to be prepared and ready to set off, the city gate guard suddenly entered the palace and announced: Someone outside the city gate asks to see him!

Come on, let Tang Xidong show his murderous intentions on his face again!

Just because of the identity of the other party, it is Wang Jiayin's military adviser's staff!

Just plundered his caravan, and then sent a military division to come, is this showing off his might?

Although his heart was full of murderous intentions, Tang Xidong still ordered the other party to be let into the city to come and visit!

was just a staff member, which was not enough for Tang Xidong to meet in person, so he directly recruited Li Shangquan and asked him to be responsible for greeting.

On a hot summer day, the city is already full of short coats and trousers, and the old man who entered the city is still wearing a thick cotton jacket, carrying his old back, pulling his goatee, walking slowly, while looking at it from time to time and nodding his head.

Binh Duong City, which is too different from this era, is too neat and clean.

For those who have not seen the reconstruction process of Binh Duong New Town in this era, it is really too visually impactful.

"Old Ge, this Tang thief is really big, he is so rich, if he is really run by Old Ge this time, it will be a great help to the king of our family?" The cavalry guards who followed behind him stepped forward and whispered excitedly while snorting in surprise.

"What kind of Tang thief, you have entered someone's nest, and you dare to call it like this, you don't want your head anymore?" The old man stopped, and the old back that he was carrying instantly straightened up, and said with a glare.

The cavalry guard shrunk his neck in fright, and ducked aside with a sneer.

"People have a thick foundation, I'm afraid this trip will be difficult, you can't see it, and you're happy." The old man rolled his eyes unhappily, then turned and walked on.

In front of him and behind him were New Army soldiers armed with flintlock pistols, their eyes cold and their faces cold.

Looking at the swarthy spear, the fifteen cavalrymen all showed envy and jealousy.

"Does he dare to allow it, there are officers and soldiers in front of me and tens of thousands of righteous teachers in Shaanxi after him, no matter how great his ability is, he can still be three heads and six arms?" The guard bowed his head, muttered, and followed again.

The government office, Li Shangquan took the seat, and the old man sat very steadily at the bottom, first took a sip of tea, and then frowned: "Your king, do you drink this broken tea on weekdays?" It's a loss of identity! ”

"We don't have a king in Pingyang City, only Mr. Tang! Mr. Tang lives a simple life on weekdays, and he can't compare to you all day long. Li Shangquan responded with a cold face: "Everything we have now has been built by ourselves with blood and sweat, and it is not as easy as you wielding a big knife to snatch others!." ”

The old man smiled and didn't speak.

"I came here today to submit brotherhood, the Ming court exploited excessively, the natural disasters and man-made disasters in Shaanxi and Shanxi are not living, the people can't survive, they can only embark on the bumpy road of resistance, you and I are both oppressed by the Ming court, that is to have a common enemy - the Ming army, my king sent Lao Er to come, is to signal the marriage."

"The people who killed us, took our property, and went back to the door and said that they wanted to get married, is the king of your family not sober?" Li Shangquan sneered and ridiculed.

When the old man heard this, his face immediately fell: "General Li, please respect yourself, you and me, if you and I are together, we will be injured if we fight." One side is the Ming Dynasty, and the other side is my Shaanxi Wangshi, looking at the world, no one dares to say that they can fight against the two, is it possible that the Tang King wants to be the first person to taste the crab? Today, Ge came here to be peaceful and good for both sides, if the Tang King insisted on going his own way, it would be useless for the little old man to say more, just want to advise him, walking in the world, one more person is an enemy than one more person is a friend, five hundred dead people compared with the tens of thousands of people in Pingyang City, that heavy and that light I believe that Tang Wang can weigh Qing! The old man put down the teacup in his hand, and his words were serious, but there was a potential threat in his words.

Shaanxi anti-army, united hundreds of thousands, known as the 36th battalion, is indeed powerful, but unfortunately Wang Jiayin is not the king's choice, but just gathered tens of thousands, and has not yet unified the forces of the people, he has already claimed the king and hegemony and divided the power. Guarding one acre and three points of land wants to be the emperor.

Now it is even more inflated to be compared with the Ming Dynasty.

killed someone and robbed the goods, and turned around to threaten the door.
