Chapter Eighty-Four: The Cloth Is Too Hard
Li Jing hit his horse to catch up, and when he saw the big clans running and scattering outside the city gate, he was immediately furious, "Hugh told him to get rid of one, get on their horses, and chase!" Live or die! ”
Tan Wu was already annoyed in his heart, knowing that once these big clans escaped, even if they didn't go to the state and county to ask for help, it would be a big trouble to bring all the nurses to come, so he immediately responded, "Yes!" ”
Another forty or fifty horsemen turned over and rode directly with iron whips and hammers, chasing after the scattered crowd......
It's a pity that it's dusk now, and Li Jing's command is already undertrained, so he can only barely get on the horse, and when he pursues it, he naturally can't do his best, but fortunately, the four-legged horses are finally faster than the human legs, and they are also called catching up and killing a lot of people, but the crowd is running wildly, and they go to the forest when they get out of the city.

The cavalry couldn't catch up, so they ran away a lot, and when they saw that it was getting dark, they didn't dare to pursue it too much, so they turned back directly to tell him, but when Li Jing heard it, he suddenly became anxious, "What, you ran away when you were so excited?!" ”
"Back to my lord, it was getting dark, the brothers were tired for a day, and they forcibly entered the forest, but they lost five people, and I was worried that if I continued to search, I was afraid that there would be casualties, so I ordered to return to the teacher." Tan Wu's 1510 Dao is really his own team that has developed too fast, just such an old team of three or four hundred people.
If the casualties are too great to suppress the people, then it will be bad.
Hearing this, Li Jing sighed, looked at Tan Wu, who was dedicated to himself, and was not angry, so he had to avoid the important and replied lightly, "Withdraw the troops for the time being, work hard today, order the guards to light torches, patrol everywhere, don't relax." ”
Li Jing has no choice at the moment, his own family is a mess, although the whole team is no less than ten times stronger, but it is even more involved, the people have no discipline and organization at all, if they don't force the pressure, once the turmoil, I'm afraid even their own family will not be spared, so I have to send a few available people down to watch.
The second team that originally followed his own family was all broken up and incorporated into the people's team, as the head of the grassroots level, even so, there was still a shortage of manpower, and the second team with hundreds of people had to lead more than 30 people on average, how difficult it was.
"Where did Zheng Renbao take the team, and why hasn't he contacted him yet?" Li Jing returned to the county office, sat on the main hall, looked at Li Denggao, who was busy next to him and didn't even have time to drink saliva, and secretly thought in his heart, if Zheng Renbao's third team arrived, why didn't he even dare to implement the next plan.
Originally, before the uprising, Li Jing had a plan, first to capture Chun County, as a foundation, wantonly plundered and wrapped up the rebellious people, and grabbed the front of the imperial court.
or set himself up as king, divide one side, or bargain, and pretend to submit to the court.
But all of this is based on its own force, without the threat of force, how can the court make concessions? Who knew that on the first day of the uprising, such a funny thing was suffered, and a whole third of the troops actually lost contact, so how could Li Jing not be angry?
"If you send someone to find it again, you must contact it and tell Zheng Renbao that if you still recognize me as the lord, you will immediately lead the troops to converge." Li Jing couldn't help the anxiety in his heart, and repeatedly sent scouts to find him, but he didn't believe that Zheng Renbao would leave his house, but this world was urgent, and he really couldn't afford to delay.
After Li Mao finished reorganizing the army, he came to the county government to stand by, and when he heard this, he quickly got up, "My lord, I have more than a dozen scouts under my command, and now the Ningwu Pass in the northwest wants to investigate, and I have to guard against the Daizhou officials and troops in the north, how to send people to find Zheng Team Rate, I'm afraid." ”
"I'm afraid of what?" Li Jing was about to open his mouth to reprimand, when he suddenly saw a small soldier dressed as a scout outside hurriedly come in, "Lord, I have found Team Zheng." ”
"What? Where are the people! Li Jing got up with a thud and said happily, if Zheng Renbao moved closer to his house at this moment, and more than a hundred old teams would join, commanding all the people, he would be able to give orders or two.
The scout didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly came to the road, but with joy on his face, it was obviously a good thing, "Lord, Zheng Team is now leading troops and horses to attack Yuanping County, and has broken through the city pass, and will break through the county seat from time to time. ”
Li Jing was shocked in his heart, and suddenly wondered, "Attack Yuanping County?" Why are there so many soldiers and horses?! "Zheng Renbao can't bring a team of about 100 people in the headquarters, and there are 200 people, and it is said that a team of 300 people, even if he takes all the villages and towns and encourages the people to join the army, but a group of bandits, how can he capture the county seat?
"I don't know about this little one, I only know that under the command of Team Zheng, there seem to be more than 2,000 soldiers and horses, among which there are also court officials and soldiers dressed up." The scout didn't know the details, so he had to tell everything he had seen and heard.
"There are imperial court officials and soldiers joining?!" Li Jing's heart was full of doubts, no, how did the officials and soldiers of the imperial court join his own team?
Li Jing couldn't help but wonder, it was really the more than 500 officers and soldiers captured by his own family, until now, only one or twenty of them were willing to obey his own family, but the matter of the uprising was very important, and his own family did not dare to take these people in at will, so he only scored and detained, and wanted to wait until his own affairs were completed before discussing.
It is precisely because of the performance of this official army that Li Jing almost can't believe that there will be an official army to take refuge in him.
But this is not the time to think about these things, as long as you know the specific whereabouts of Zheng Renbao and settle down in your heart, some things that have not been solved before can suddenly calm down and think.
"Come on, bring all the big clans that have just been captured." With Li Jing's order, the big clan that had already been tied up was escorted in outside, but Li Jing fixed his eyes and immediately wondered, "Why are these few people?" ”
Li Jing is not puzzled, you must know that although Chunxian County is not big, there are more than a dozen towns under the jurisdiction of Fangyuan, and it is said that there are still three or five small landlords in each town, plus Chunxian County is the main traffic artery in Jinzhong, and there are really many big families who do business, so it is a lot.
But now, what's going on with these three or five people in front of you?
Seeing Li Jing dumbfounded, Li Mao and Tan Wu next to him looked at each other helplessly, Li Mao had to come up and whisper, "Lord, didn't you order all of them to be killed?" ”
"Hmm." Li Jing slapped his head, and he was so anxious that he almost forgot the order he had given, and hurriedly said to his head, "Who are you waiting for?" ”
He fixed his eyes on a fat and fat man in front of him, about forty years old, and suddenly felt a little familiar, and an impression appeared in his mind, and before he could answer, he blurted out directly, "Isn't this a hairless yellow master." ”
It was also Li Jing who had a profound impact on Huang Shanren, who was the first to speak in Huiji Temple that day, and directly recognized it at a glance, but now Master Huang no longer has the arrogance of the-for-tat confrontation with Master Zhang of Linxian County that day.
couldn't help but chuckle out loud, "Master Huang, don't come unharmed." ”
After saying this, he looked at the four people behind him, and saw that they were all a little similar to him, and he was speechless, isn't this a family called for arrest? That's unlucky.
Seeing that Huang Shanren lowered his head and refused to reply, the same was true behind him, among them, who was the young man who was not looking for his own blackmail that day, the soldier saw that they refused to speak, and came out directly, "Back to the lord, these people are all from the Huang family, a grain merchant in the county, and I heard that this one is still the county patrol officer." ”
(In the Ming Dynasty, there was no county lieutenant, and its duties such as catching thieves and patrolling were responsible for the patrol officer, no grade, similar to the grain officer, river officer, etc., which was generally concurrently held by the chief bookkeeper or the county officer, but sometimes it was also peripheral.) )
Seeing that Li Jing was interested, the soldier was also happy, and simply said the joke about the arrest of the Huang family, pointed to Huang Sihua, and said unexpectedly, "This person is very strange, I waited to enter the mansion, searched everywhere, only to see this person wrapped a white cloth around the beams of the house, but he refused to hang himself, I waited for the inside, easily took this person, and asked him why he refused to hang himself, but he didn't say whether he lived or died." ”
As he spoke, he laughed shamefully, only so ashamed that Huang Sihua wanted to find a place to crack in, and heard the soldier talk about his parents who had led people to resist, and he was even more ashamed, Li Jing listened to it, and also felt funny, so he asked, "Thirty taels don't follow, twenty taels follow, why don't you hang yourself?!" ”
"I want to die, I want to die, but the beams are too soft, the white cloth is too hard, and my neck can't stand it!" Huang Sihua was already ashamed, and when he saw him laughing left and right, even his father turned back in shock, his face suddenly turned red, and he spit out a sentence directly without thinking.
It's just this sentence, which almost made Li Jing burst out with laughter, recalling the allusion, isn't the water too cold born decades in advance?
Thinking of this, he suddenly looked speechlessly at the scholar in front of him who was stubbornly staring at his own head......
