In the eyes of the people at the head of the city and the surrounding areas, Lian Yong, who was about the same number as the merchant group, was about to collapse at the touch of a button, and ran all over the mountains as soon as he took over the battle, and the bird guns of the merchant group only fired one round, saying that it was long-range firepower to bully people, but Lian Yong also pretended to take some archers, and they didn't shoot a round of arrows, so they gave up the bow and arrow and ran together.

Due to long-term physical training, at the beginning of the hundreds of steps of the merchant group is still chasing, after running out of half a mile, after the strenuous exercise people's physical fitness disappears very quickly, but the merchant group chases closely, at this time Lian Yong began to run, the people of the merchant group still have spare strength, the pikemen kept poking the spears in their hands, the Lian Yong kept falling to the ground, and some people tried to resist, almost in the blink of an eye were killed, more people who couldn't run began to kneel down and surrender, but the people of the merchant group did not get the order, even if they surrendered, they were still shot to death.

The cruelty of the killing made many people dare not continue to watch, Lian Yong did not run far, and the entire battlefield did not unfold, only a narrow boundary less than five hundred steps wide and less than three miles long, and people kept screaming and being killed, and blood was dancing almost everywhere in people's eyes.

"Alright, let's start the whole team and take the prisoners!"

Li Zhiye saw that Guan Zhaofu was slashed with a knife, Yang Yong, who had a fierce face, knelt down and asked to surrender, there were many people around him, and he had not been killed, and there were more than 100 Lian Yong who surrendered...... They couldn't run anymore, only less than ten Lian Yong ran to the edge of the mountain in the west, and began to climb the mountain to escape, in a place like Lingqiu, running a few miles away is a mountain, there are too many mountains.

These people don't have to worry about it, there are very few of them, and they are all brave people, and it is estimated that they will not cause any trouble in the future.

The captured captives were afraid of death, almost all of them had dead gray faces, everyone was trembling, the merchant group had just beaten too fiercely, and there was almost no living mouth, they were afraid that they would be killed on the spot.

Fortunately, Li Zhiye didn't mean this, it's one thing to be ruthless when fighting, and it's another thing to kill people in public, which he knows very clearly.

A long list of captives were escorted back, and at this time the people did not know who got up, picked up a small half of the brick and smashed it, and then there was a shouting and shouting of killing, and the people present picked up whatever they had on the ground, and those who beat those who were brave and cried and cried for their fathers and mothers.

There are young men rushing up, raising their legs and kicking over, as long as the team is not too chaotic, these people can vent their hatred. During Lian Yong's time in Lingqiu, he was really hateful.

Many of the people in the city rushed down, and they also wanted to beat people.

Chang Wei looked at the stunned Zhu Qingyu at this time, and said with a smile: "Lord Zhixian, the people's will is like this, and the people's will can also be used." ”

Zhu Qingyu was still hesitating just now, not knowing which side to bet on, but now he already understood how to bet.

Zhu Qingyu looked at Chang Wei and suddenly said: "I heard that Chang Wei is the cousin of Zhang Xunjian, and you are also a bold figure. ”

Chang Wei smiled and didn't say anything, and Zhu Qingyu didn't want to say more, so he hurriedly went down to the city to deal with this mess.

Li Zhiye climbed to the top of the city at this time and found Chang Wei and said: "There are a lot of killings, will there be big trouble?" Also, what to do with captured prisoners? ”

"I have a number of killings, there will be no trouble, it is Han Qi who is in trouble." Chang Wei said with a smile: "As for the captives, these guys won't even care about their clan, they are all rotten scoundrels, they can't be killed anymore, they are sent to the iron field to do work, do hard labor for a few months, and then release them when they are honest, and let people see, what kind of fate will it be if they can't get along with us and Yusheng." ”

Li Zhiye smiled bitterly, he felt that Chang Wei was very happy to do things, but it was also very dangerous, but this was not something he could worry about, what he had to do was to do the work well and leave as little trouble as possible.

Chang Wei said: "Be quick, I will leave Lingqiu soon." ”

"Where?" Li Zhiye subconsciously asked.

"Qingcheng." Chang Wei replied with a smile, and pinched his eyes.

……

"Since you're back, do me a favor." Ma Chengen looked at Li Shenming, who was in the dust, and said with a smile: "But the emperor is not a hungry soldier, you eat first." ”

Li Shenming now has less and less time to return to Datong, and most of the share he originally occupied in the General Military Mansion has been given to others, and the original matters at hand have also been divided one by one, but Li Shenming's status in the General Military Mansion has not only not fallen, but has risen faintly.

The reason is also very simple, a few years ago, Li Shenming helped Ma Chengen to catch Zhang Han's line, the originally inconspicuous small businessman, in recent years, has become a commercial predator in Datong and even Shanxi and even the entire north, and Zhang Han's power is not limited to shopping malls, the officialdom is also very strong, the military performance is also obvious to all, and the confrontation with Han Qi is also impressive, Zhang Han at this time not to mention ordinary businessmen, that is, the most prominent Fan Yongdou rooted in Zhangjiakou, is far behind.

Ma Chengen can now divide about 20,000 a year, this figure is equivalent to one-third of his total income a year, the family that passed on from Ma Gui originally lost a lot, and in the past two years, Ma Chengen gradually made up for it, and the number of family members controlled by the Ma family exceeded 1,000 people.

Now the largest number of family members is the ancestral family in western Liaoning, even the Li family is far inferior, the ancestral family has taken root in Ningyuan for more than a hundred years, all dynasties are senior military attachés, occupy more than 100,000 acres of fertile land, and operate the law, especially the inheritance of people, unlike Li Chengliang's family has no successor, Li Rusong died, although the Li family is the commander of the general deputy general Jinyiwei, but lacks a backbone that can fight the war, the ancestral family is different, there is an ancestor Dashou in Liaoxi, that is, no one can bypass the strong general.

The Ma family was originally weaker in the northwest, but after the import of funds in the past few years...... Tens of thousands of silver a year seem inconspicuous, but how much does the imperial court pay Datong a year? Twenty or thirty thousand silver is equivalent to the net income of 20,000 acres of land here in Datong for a year, and if it is a famine year, there may not be this number.

Li Shenming has this credit, and it is natural to take care of Zhang Han's side, of course Ma Chengen will not have ideas, and at least on the surface, he will rely more on Li Shenming.

"When I entered the city, I passed by a small snack shop, and I couldn't hold back when I smelled the aroma, so I got out of the car and bought a few oil cakes to eat." Li Shenming smiled and said to Ma Chengen: "You don't need to eat, I just want to see what you have planned, master?" ”

"My plans?" Ma Chengen's face showed a cold look, and he said: "I can't sit still, but I haven't figured out exactly how to do it yet." ”

Ma Chengen said again: "Now I plan to do two things, one is to send the main barracks to suppress the bandits, I heard that the people on the Lingqiu side have retreated, which is very good, Han Qi has a lot less truth." In addition, I want to report my illness, ignore the town affairs for the time being, and pick the picks first. The next step is to ask the imperial history of the Jingshi to come forward and impeach Han Qi first, that's all for the time being. ”

Li Shenming came this time, or Ma Chengen sent someone to invite him, before the rumor that Han Qi was going to change the head town, Ma Chengen didn't believe it at the first time, and then inquired in many ways, and sure enough, Han Qi really had this intention, Ma Chengen believed Li Shenming's reminder in advance, and of course the feeling of speaking was also very frank.

"Does the master want to retreat first, and then beat Han Qi in a ......hurry," Li Shenming pondered for a moment, and still said in a very straightforward tone: "But does the master think about it?" ”

"Huh?"

Although Han Qi does not have a deep foundation in the court, after all, he is a civil official and the boss of the chief master, and this retirement just gives him the truth, he asks the court to send a new chief soldier, and the court will not save his face. Although you didn't directly impeach the governor, a discerning person can see it at a glance, if there is no clear matter, Han Qi, the governor, still has to take advantage. As soon as the chief master retreats, if he immediately finds a successor to play, and the court allows it, doesn't the chief master stack himself on the river beach? ”

Ma Chengen's face changed, he thought for a while, and said: "Sure enough, Zunlu's brain understands more than those masters." ”

Li Shenming smiled and acquiesced, only saying that it was a fluke in his heart.

The analysis of this matter was deduced by Zhang Han and him, as well as Sun Jingting, Chang Wei and others, and the people of Yusheng may not be better politically than Ma Chengen and the people around him, but they are better informed and have a better understanding of the overall situation in the Ming Dynasty.

Now the imperial court has a headache in the east, and it has just changed the first assistant, especially hoping that the place will be quiet and not want to be troubled.

At this time, although Ma Chengen was forced to be helpless, it was indeed he who opened the torn mode with the governor, the civil boss, and the sympathy points he obtained were still limited.

"Zunlu," Ma Chengen showed a smile in his eyes, stroked his thick beard, and said with a smile: "You are here to fight Xinpingbao, I heard that Zhang Wenlan has been managing his two marriages recently, but he can't ignore the current affairs, you can tell me, what does he say!" ”

"Okay, then I'll be straight too." Li Shenming knew that his relationship with Zhang Han was very obvious, and he was already inseparable, and it was not interesting to pretend to be a ghost here with Ma Chengen, so he said very simply: "The master estimates, who will Han Qi find to be this substitute?" ”

"Except for Du Wenhuan, there will be no one else!"

"Yes, we think it's him!"

The replacement of the general army of the nine-sided town, the imperial court will only consider the candidate of the town's residence, and it is impossible to appoint a novice with an unstable foundation, and there are often military generals in later novels who have made great achievements and suddenly become the bridge of the general army, at least in the late Ming Dynasty, there is almost no such possibility.

From the middle and late Wanli to Chongzhen, there may be more than 100 people in the rotation of the general army of the Nine Sides, but most of the people who serve in the main positions of the Nine Sides General Soldiers are generals, and even most of them are candidates from several general families!

Datong Town is the first Ma and then the horse, Liaodong is the first Li and then the ancestor, during which there are also He, You, Du, Zhang and other major generals and families have successively served as Liaozhen and Ji, Xuan, Da and other towns of the general soldiers, such as Zuo Liangyu from small soldiers to general soldiers, just a special case in the middle and late stages of Chongzhen.
