Chapter 16: The Trouble (I)
Lord He Dong was in a good mood, this crackdown was very successful, Li Bangzhen's gang of rebels had been running for four days, and the more they ran, the fewer people they were, and they didn't move at all after them, patronizing and capturing prisoners. There are more than 800 people left in the main force of the www.biquge.info rebellion, and the morale of the hungry stomach can be wiped out without a fight, and the victory in the Beijing Imperial Court will definitely be rewarded, and he seems to see the high-ranking official Houlu beckoning to him.
"Report to your lordship, the scout came to report the remnants of the thieves and stopped in the small mountain forest ten miles away."
Well, I should be hungry and can't walk, it's time to end. "Order, go, and exterminate the thieves."
He Dong led more than 3,000 people under his command, and slaughtered Li Bangzhen with high spirits, only to see Li Bangzhen and his group of remnants and others forming a simple formation, looking ready to trap the beast and fight. Lord He snorted coldly and ordered the whole army to attack. He didn't believe that this gang of anti-thieves who had been hungry for four days still had combat effectiveness, and only thought that a stick of incense could end the battle.
In a way, Lord Ho is really right.
At the moment of the hand-to-hand encounter, the group of thieves on the opposite side broke out with amazing combat effectiveness, where was a little hungry for four days, and at the same time as the front line was fighting, the valleys on both sides actually resounded with the sound of crackling fried beans, and countless soldiers fell in response.
It's not good, it's a musket, where did the thieves get their muskets? After the gunshots rang out, I saw about 1,000 ambushes on the valleys on both sides, and these ambushers threw stones at them as they ran.
Most of He Dong's more than 3,000 people were recruited from the nearest disaster, and the regular army had not been mobilized at all. At that time, he panicked, and the remnants of Li Bangzhen in front of him were already red-eyed, and the moves were only offensive and not defensive, as the saying goes, rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry, not to mention these bandits who raised flags and rebelled? These people were chased by He Dong for four days, and their families had already been killed in the escape, and now they only felt that they didn't want to put their lives on their backs.
A strong man didn't know his name, but he saw that his intestines had slipped out and dragged him to the ground, but as if he didn't know at all, he still struggled to slash and kill, and finally used his intestines as a rope to strangle the neck of a small soldier opposite. A small man was stabbed by the officers and soldiers on the opposite side, and when he saw that he was about to die, he threw away his weapon and hugged the buddy who stabbed him on the other side, and even bit off the throat of the person opposite before he died.
Li Zhenbang was originally a martial arts expert, and at this moment, he was holding a double knife as if he was possessed by a killing god, and the two knives were waved with each blow, taking away the life of the other side, and after a while, the whole person was dyed with the same color as his knife, blood red!
Shooting, ambushes, flying stones, fierce beasts that are not afraid of death on the opposite side, the officers and soldiers have gone crazy under this wave of blows, and the whole team is ramming around, and many of them have been trampled to death by their own people.
"Calm down, calm down, don't mess up, don't mess up" Lord He shouted loudly in the back in an attempt to keep the officers and soldiers in formation, but in vain. Suddenly, I only felt a pain in my chest, and I didn't know anything when I was knocked off the horse by a shot. "Damn, knowing that the master has a gun in his hand, he dares to ride a horse, if you don't die, who will die."
Seeing that the commander was shot, the ranks of officers and soldiers became even more chaotic, some wanted to move forward, some wanted to go backward, and the ambushes on both sides were so bloody that they couldn't organize resistance at all.
Xiaotian couldn't bear to see this scene, "Hey, it's so cruel, go, let them shout, surrender and don't kill."
"Surrender or kill! Surrender or kill! ”
"Surrender or kill! Surrender or kill! ”
Of course, the refugees who have not completely changed jobs are going to surrender, the coaches are dead, and even if they win, they don't know where to eat steamed buns. Three thousand officers and soldiers hulala knelt down and waited for Xiaotian to take over.
Xiao Tian heard that most of them were newly recruited refugees nearby, and he was overjoyed, He Dong's recruitment standards were similar to Xiao Tian's, and even higher requirements, calling on the newly recruited 800 strong men to give them one-on-one help, but in one day, these 3,000 refugees were brainwashed successfully, and only Xiao Tianma was the first to look forward.
Calculating the number of troops, Xiao Tian himself brought 200 people, recruited more than 800 people, Li Zhenbang's remaining more than 800 people, and newly recruited more than 3,000 officers and soldiers, adding up to 5,000 people. Such a harvest was naturally unexpected before, the four boats of grain when they came had been replaced with various treasures and iron tools, and it was impossible to pull away these more than 5,000 people by relying on the Sunshine Sunny (not to mention Zheng He's treasure ship in the future), and most of the fishing boats collected were small boats, and they couldn't pull a few people at all. But if you give up this great harvest, Xiao Tian will definitely not be able to do it, looking at the corpse of this Lord He on the ground in front of him, Xiao Tian frowned, and thought about it.
Late at night, Laizhou Mansion. Governor Zhang's life in the past few days is as bad as other officials in SD Province, before killing a few rich merchants who hoarded grain, the city has been in chaos for several days, the porridge shacks outside the city for disaster relief are getting thinner and thinner, and the refugees surrounded outside are afraid that there will be tens of thousands of people, and a bad can cause a civil uprising.
This should be good news, although I don't look down on that group of martial artists, but after all, people are meritorious in suppressing bandits, if you really stop outside the city, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, go, they can come in and help suppress the refugees outside.
I can't see my face clearly in the middle of the night, but the big army outside is indeed wearing the uniform of the Ming Army, it shouldn't be wrong, in fact, it's useless to see my face clearly, he doesn't know He Dong, open the door, and I'll go down to greet you.
"Lord He, congratulations to Lord He for making another great contribution, come with me into the city to rest."
I saw the man at the head of the man said coldly, "You are the prefect of Laizhou?"
Hey? Why are you so polite? This martial artist is so rude, he really thinks that he doesn't know what his surname is after a small victory? "Yes, it's the official"
"Tie up, brothers go into town"
Do I rub? What's the situation, this rhythm is not right!
Laizhou City is not a military town, there are only some government soldiers and county soldiers in the city to guard, to put it bluntly, it is similar to the government service, where can the city gate be opened now to block Xiaotian's five thousand livestock? The refugees outside the city didn't know what was going on, and they didn't know who picked the head, so they also rushed in, and the guards saw that this was still a fart, so they surrendered.
The tied and sturdy Governor Zhang finally understood that this was not an official army, and shouted loudly: "Who are you, what do you want to do?" "Naturally, no one cares about him, Laizhou City is already in complete chaos, Xiaotian said on the spot, open a warehouse and release grain. The refugees who followed in from outside the city were naturally rejoicing, and the ordinary residents in the city were naturally happy when they saw that they had not committed any offence against themselves. Comrade Xiaotian stayed in the Laizhou Mansion with zero resistance along the way.
"No, you can't open a warehouse to release grain, now the grain in the treasury can be eaten for a little more time and wait for the relief of the imperial court, if you open a warehouse and release grain, you won't be able to eat it in a few days, and it will be eaten up" Zhang Zhifu stubbornly brushed his sense of existence, and it could be seen that he was really a good official.
"It's okay, a public trial meeting will be held tomorrow."
Public trial conference? Governor Zhang still can't understand this new term.
The next day, Governor Zhang knew what the so-called public trial conference meant. I saw that these bandits had kidnapped all the rich families in the city, down to the shopkeeper who had two money, and up to the prince of the county, all of them were honestly lined up.
This thief actually let the people try the case? Let the people of the city decide the life and death of a county king, this... It has never been seen since history, it is simply unreasonable, where is there such a reason in the world.
I don't know if the rich businessmen in this year are all for the rich, or if they are particularly hateful to the rich in the disaster year, except for a few who may be really strong, most of the rich families have done the knife, the property is confiscated, and the food in the family is divided. Of course, confiscation is naturally the pocket of the small sky.
When the silver and grain are divided, and the loot is more, how can it be transported? Xiao Tian waved his hand and set off to go to Dengzhou Water Division.
