I can't help but be afraid of Zuo Mengeng.

Zuo Liangyu has been arrogant since he started, and although Zuo Mengeng is not his parent, he is also regarded as his own. Therefore, in Zuo Mengeng's memory, it is also their Zuo family who is used to being arrogant, and they have hardly encountered anything that others have come to them.

Even when Lu Xiangsheng was prime minister, their Zuo family was arrogant, and when Xiong Wencan arrived, he was even more lawless, not only forcing Xiong Wencan to send the Cantonese soldiers away, but even burning and looting with the rogue!

But no matter what time it is, it is his left family who bullies others, from the prime minister's minister of military affairs to the small people who live secretly, they can all be bullied, but they have not been bullied by others. The thieves who are rampant in the world are mortal enemies of their Zuo family, but the two sides also have each other's victories and defeats, and they didn't say that they made him to such a point!

Therefore, when others burned, killed, and plundered him, he was a little overwhelmed.

After escaping into the reeds, there was a cry all around, so they realized that even if they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, the other party would not seem to let go!

"This ...... Jimin, is this kind of killing method too powerful? Wang Haoran saw that the tiger guards left a gun to replenish in the camp, and those who knelt on the ground and surrendered could not escape death, so he was inevitably moved by compassion.

Mao Yuanyi next to him nodded thoughtfully: "Kill the prisoner and don't surrender ......"

"This is not a prisoner, this is a habitual bandit who cannot be changed." Yu Guozhen said.

After Shen Yunying's incident, Yu Guozhen did not collect less about Zuo Liangyu's actions, and the more reports he saw, the more angry he became!

Zuo Liangyu's subordinates are mostly in the role of traitors and officers and soldiers, when the rogues have the advantage, they can't beat and surrender to the rogues, Zuo Liangyu enters the suppression, and the situation is not for them and puts on the clothes of officers and soldiers. If Zuo Liangyu himself is arrogant and lawless, these soldiers under him are even wolves in human skin. They have done absolutely nothing bad things that officers and soldiers can do, and they have also done absolutely nothing bad things that rogues can do.

For this kind of soldier, Yu Guozhen thought that he had no ability to reform, and he could not be tied back to be a mining slave, so he could only be executed.

Song Xiance also nodded, and seeing that Wang Haoran and Mao Yuanyi seemed to have to persuade again, he interjected: "How can crying all the way is like crying as a family, and how can a country cry like an army crying?" ”

Mao Yuanyi was still unhappy, but Wang Haoran was shocked: "This is indeed the reason." ”

Wang Haoran is young, although he also has the non-pragmatic side of the scholar at this time, he is more receptive to new ideas than Mao Yuanyi. He agreed, Mao Yuanyi didn't want to say anything more, Song Xiance said on the side: "Uncle, then Zuo Liangyu's subordinates burned the forest with fire, and now we can also burn the reeds." ”

Yu Guozhen looked at the continuous reeds, Zuo Liangyu's department had 10,000 people to avoid the reeds, it was extremely difficult to go in and search, and it was easy to cause greater casualties. He nodded: "Mr. Song's strategy is very good...... Ji Yan, come on! ”

Hearing that Yu Guozhen was really going to set fire, Mao Yuanyi was shocked: "Nanhai Bo, please leave a benevolent heart...... I'm afraid of hurting my uncle's yin virtue. ”

"Saving a good is to accumulate yin virtue, and killing an evil is also to accumulate yin virtue." Song Xiance said: "Eliminate the evil, now the lord can't dispose of Zuo Liangyu, remove his minions, and make it impossible to be evil, which is to accumulate great yin virtue for the people of Huguang and even the Central Plains!" ”

When he said this, his expression was awe-inspiring, which made Mao Yuanyi's expression cold.

However, he didn't argue any further, because he saw that Ji Yan had already been ordered to go.

"You must not be merciful to the people, and you must not be resolute against thieves." Yu Guozhen said softly: "Ci is not in charge of the army, not only to his subordinates, but also to the enemy, this seemingly inhumane killing, but in fact to educate the tiger guards, let them know that soldiers must also have a bottom!" ”

When these words were spoken, Mao Yuanyi was blocked back from Dali, and it also made him think deeply.

At this time, Mao Yuanyi was no longer as high-spirited as Chongzhen was in his early years, and the continuous setbacks made him have to think deeply about whether his previous high-spiritedness was correct. Yu Guozhen's sentence made up especially reminded him that the reason why he was sent to Fu was because of the mutiny of the Guanning army.

However, there was a reason for the mutiny of the officers and soldiers, the food and salary of the imperial court could not be paid on time, and the meritorious rewards were always swallowed up by the superiors, and so on, but there was one point, when these officers and soldiers regarded the mutiny as commonplace, it was difficult for the generals to control them.

Thinking about it, Mao Yuanyi couldn't help but come to his senses, and he didn't realize it until the skyrocketing fire came up.

Ji Yan ran to the distance with a light horse to raise a fire, the reeds in Bailu Lake were flammable in this autumn, and the fires on both sides spread rapidly, and they would soon be in one place. The water of the lake was boiling as if it were the struggle of the soldiers of the Left Battalion who had fallen into the lake, and they tried to get ashore, only to be killed by a random shot, and the survivors retreated into the flames. Their cries shook the sky, even overpowering the sound of flames, and the smell of burnt meat filled the air, even the tiger guards who drove them back to the sea of fire couldn't help but change color at this time.

Yu Guozhen's face was as pale as iron and unwavering. Beside him, Song Xiance showed a slight smile.

In Xinxiang for more than half a year, Song Xiance paid attention to it from the initial glimpse, and later followed Yu Guozhen to all the grassroots corners of Xinxiang, and even followed Yu Guozhen to Hoi An twice, and saw the development and construction of Hoi An in full swing, and went to Xinhang, which was still swampy and barren, and his sense of belonging to Xinxiang was no longer under those tiger guards.

It can even be said that because of his experience, he is more loyal to the blueprint planned by Yu Guozhen than Hu Wei.

With these fertile lands as the foundation, we have accumulated food and grass, studied and studied deeply, and built an army that has never been seen before, and a nation that is unparalleled. Assisting such a lord and achieving such a feat, his previous ambitions are nothing compared to this!

Song Xiance has always been unsuccessful in the Ming Dynasty, and even frustrated to the point of pretending to be a Taoist priest to tell fortunes for people, and he has no achievements in the way of the eight shares, so he is disgusted with this outdated system of the Ming Dynasty. Previously, he just wanted to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and replace him, but he didn't think about establishing a completely new system from scratch, and it wasn't until Yu Guozhen here that he found the real direction!

The Lord's undertaking requires a large number of people - they must be deprived of their land and all means of production, and even their personal liberty must be deprived, so that they will not be bound by the acres and cents of their homes, and they will be able to leave the countryside and come to the workshops and join the rolling torrent of machinery! But if this is done by the lord, there will inevitably be ridicule, and the population will not work with all their might. On the contrary, if the Ming government, the Liukou and the Jianyu were to do this wicked man, and the lord appeared in front of the laboring population as a liberator, things would be completely different.

Therefore, Song Xiance didn't want Zhang Xianzhong to be completely pacified and Zuo Liangping to be completely killed, these two scourges must be kept by Daming.

This is the hidden calculation in his repeated contributions, beating Zhang Xianzhong, forcing Zhang Xianzhong to spit out the population he plundered, and beating Zuo Liangyu, so that the strength of the Ming army, which was the most threatening to Zhang Xianzhong in the Huguang Yunyang area, was greatly reduced, so that the two sides would be entangled.

He didn't know if his mind was being seen through by his lord, so although a hint of joy appeared on his face, he immediately hid it.

Mao Yuanyi looked at him at this time, and saw the smile that had disappeared.

Mao Yuanyi's heart moved: Why didn't this Song Xiance have the slightest guilt for offering such a poisonous plan?

Zuo Mengeng, who was hiding in the reeds, suddenly thought of the word "retribution" at this time. He said that he set fire to the forest, burned and killed dozens of Huguang soldiers, and today the Huguang soldiers came to set fire to the reeds and trapped him in the sea of fire!

And the reeds are damp, and the smoke is very large after it is burned, under the smoke and fire, Zuo Mengeng keeps coughing, looking at the sea of fire on all sides, he keeps retreating, where he retreats, the water is getting deeper and deeper, and the clothes on his body are getting heavier and heavier. Although he has the surname of water, he also knows that in this situation, he will not be able to swim and escape.

The other party is so brutal and desperate, and he is so decisive in doing things, it makes him bold!

There was chaos everywhere, the sound of muskets, flames, screams, wailings, and mixed sounds made Zuo Mengeng lose his mind. He howled, his instinct for survival trumped everything, and he could not care about anything else, and rushed towards the shore.

It is better to be killed by a musket than to be burned to death, to be smoked, to be drowned in water!

After a few paces, he tripped over the reed roots and fell into the muddy water, and he got up, ran forward, and fell again...... I don't know how many times he struggled out of the fire.

He was lucky, and there were one or two thousand people who ran out of his general, but most of them were killed by the oncoming muskets, and he finally reached the shore.

But his luck ended there, because he saw that in front of him, several Huguang soldiers were looking at him with indifferent expressions, and the muskets in their hands were aiming at him.

"Don't kill me, I'm Zuo Mengeng, I'm the son of Zuo Zongbing!"

He shouted loudly, fell into the muddy water again, and threw himself desperately. He didn't expect the other party to let him go, the other party even attacked the battalion of 20,000 people, obviously preparing to completely turn his face with Zuo Liangyu, he only begged the other party to know his identity, felt that he still had the value of use, and let him leave a surname for the time being.

Sure enough, when he heard that he was Zuo Mengeng, the other party really didn't shoot immediately, two sergeants came over, pulled his hair bun, dragged him ashore like a dead dog, and dragged him all the way to a team of people.

"Childe, catch Zuo Menggeng!" He heard such a shout.

"Zuo Mengeng?" When Yu Guozhen heard that one of the purposes of this trip had been caught, he looked at Zuo Menggeng, who was covered in mud.

He still knows the "achievements" of the Zuo family father and son in the original history, and the reason why Nanming completely collapsed in less than two years is that the Zuo family father and son have "great credit". It was Zuo Liangyu who did not dare to block Li Zicheng who fled south, so he pretended to be on the side of the Qing monarch and fought with the small court of Nanming, which made Nanming give up the Jiangbei defense line! And after he died of illness, Zuo Mengeng simply took refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty and made a lot of contributions to the Manchu Qing Dynasty!

These things that have not yet happened, although they cannot be charged by Zuo's father and son, are enough for Yu Guozhen to have a murderous heart against him.

"The one who attacked the tall pillar before, isn't it you?" Yu Guozhen condescended and asked Zuo Mengeng.

"Real...... It's really the order of the righteous father, and the villain has to obey! Zuo Mengeng knelt on the ground, kowtowing like pounding garlic, he now knew who he was facing.

It turned out to be Nanhai Boyu Guozhen, he actually left the fiefdom and came here!

"It's you." Yu Guozhen said in disgust, and then nodded to Tian Boguang next to him.
