Zheng Renbao only felt that today was very enjoyable, since the day he led the army, he had been fighting in the east and west, almost invincible, and invincible, but he had never been as smooth as today. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He was sent by Li Jing, with the main force of more than 2,000 elite soldiers, from the Shenchi to the south, with Li Fugui's army, one day Kewuzhou, and half a day under Wuzhai, the garrison Ming army all fled in front of their own artillery, and there was no one who could engage in close combat, only waiting for Wuzhai County, the entire county officials fled seventy-seven eighty-eight, so that the army easily entered the city.

The whole march was without resistance, like an armed march, just waiting for the city, Zheng Renbao immediately came up with a tried and tested trick, and went to the homes of all the big families to confiscate money and grain, and the few families who did not escape in time were called in front of all the residents of the city, counted the crimes one by one, and then beheaded on the spot.

Under the witness of everyone, Zheng Renbao promised to distribute the land of all the big clans to the peasants, and on the other hand, let people make a show of peace and stability in the place.

Under the temptation of the land, the villages along the way, almost all of them fell from the wind, except for the slight resistance of the private village of the big clan, together with the shelling, the chicken and dog were not left, all the way to the county seat, the department has swelled to more than 7,000 people, but there are many women and children, the old and weak, and there are many people who are indiscriminate.

"The lord ordered me to take Wuzhai, and then follow you to the south to conquer Lanzhou, at this moment Wuzhai is easy to take, why not take advantage of the victory to pursue and take Lanzhou directly?" Li Fugui is excited at the moment, how many years, his family has never been so proud, at this moment he is leading an army alone, and he is eager to make contributions.

But Zheng Renbao was quite prestigious in the past, he traveled south and north, and he had a lot of knowledge, and he led the troops several times, but he was not carried away by the big victory at this moment, only to see him pointing to the simple map with concern, and said in a deep voice, "Forty miles to the south, it is where the imperial court town Xiwei is stationed, and it has an official army of more than 5,000 people. ”

only said this, and was afraid that Li Fugui would not listen, "Besides, Wuzhai escaped, I have sent a horse team to chase after them, they must go to the official army station, we just need to wait for work, train the people, sit and wait for the official army to attack, find its flaws, and break it in one fell swoop. ”

"It's all yours." Although Li Fugui is a member of Li Jing's clan, he is by nature and never does anything out of line, and whether it is an official position or Li Jing's trust, Zheng Renbao is the main general, so he naturally obeys, and at this moment he hurriedly responded, looking for an errand to go down to select Minzhuang.

To say that Zheng Renbao's estimate is not bad at all, these fleeing Wuzhai clans did not go far, and called a hundred or so people from the begging army and horse team to catch up with them halfway, and they slashed indiscriminately, and the private soldiers of the big clan who fled from the courtyard were not bad at all, and there were all the way to break down and scatter all the way, and they abandoned the Dongweng of the past, and fled with their lives.

What's more, those who were angry in the past directly coerced the master's family and surrendered on the spot, so that the dead bodies on the official road leading to Qilan were scattered, and the carts were abandoned on both sides of the official road, and they were caught up by the infantry of the third battalion of the begging army and collected them one by one.

There were even a series of large families tied together, like cattle and sheep, who were driven back, and when they slacked off, they called the soldiers to whip them up for a while, and they did not treat them as individuals at all.

In the bottom of this person's heart, once the evil mind is opened in the cage, it can no longer be imprisoned, in the past, this group of soldiers from a bitter haha background, they were often beaten and insulted by the big clan, and now they turn over, and the revenge is even more ruthless, those grassroots leaders, platoon commanders see it, and they don't care, anyway, these people are going to die, as long as there is no rape. Adultery and robbery take place, and they should not see it.

However, the horse team is still small after all, and they can't catch up with all along the way, and there are also big smart people who abandon their furniture and flee directly on the trail, which will also get out safely, but they are so resentful in their hearts, they swallow a breath, go directly to the city of Lanzhou, and directly bow down and cry in the state government.

Zhizhou heard the words suddenly his head was as big as a fight, his hands and feet were cold, if he wanted to say that he was an official, he was afraid of the squire, and the other was afraid of the homeless, and now the homeless people were thieves, and the squire was driven away, and the things came together, but he was in trouble, if he wanted to say that the civil unrest was directly sent to suppress it, but what kind of thing was the garrison Zhenxiwei, where did he not know, the oppression of the peasants was still successful, if he went into battle, it would be good if he did not collapse at home.

Just as he was in a dilemma, a staff member came up and whispered, "Master, have you ever remembered that guest military supervisor Master Zhou?" The previous trouble, the state received five hundred taels, as the saying goes, the responsibility of guarding the land, the lord has a share, and the adult that week also has a share. ”

Only this sentence immediately made Zhizhou feel relieved, only to see him cough twice, and said to the squire who was crying with a rotten face, "There is a special military supervisor in this state, Zhou Hongtu, Lord Zhou, who led the troops to prevent theft and suppress bandits, so let's go to the soldiers he invited." ”

In order to prevent the squire from continuing to entangle, he actually said this, and hurriedly shirked his physical discomfort, and went directly to the back hall for a while, leaving only a dumbfounded squire, each of them watched for a while, and saw that Zhizhou didn't care, and they jumped their feet angrily, but they couldn't, so they had to go out of the yamen again, ask about it, and go to the temporary yamen of the prison road in the west of the city.

It is said that it is a yamen, that is, a temporary military camp, Zhou Hongtu led 600 personal soldiers, originally sent by the imperial court, to defend the river, to prevent Shaanxi Liukou from crossing the Yellow River, cholera in Jinzhong, but since the fight to the Lan to assist in the defense, the local excuse is that there are many garrisons, and it is not easy to assist, he played several times and asked for food on the spot, and finally asked the court to order Lan Zhou to be responsible for military salaries.

But the place still does not follow, the excuse to shirk, he came here in July, more than a month, the military salary was only paid for less than ten days, and the rest was actually called their own fundraising, what kind of reason is this, thanks to the fact that most of the subordinates are their own soldiers, otherwise they would have made a fuss.

Even so, Zhou Hongtu is at a loss, this silver will not fall out of thin air, more than 600 people, more than 15 taels of food and grass per month, and Lanzhou only gives 500, where is enough.

When I was troubled, I suddenly heard the noise outside the camp, and I was immediately angry, the military camp was heavy, how could I make a noise, and I got up directly to go out to visit, but I saw all the old men who were dressed rich and decent, and they were speechless, what is this called? Although he is the official of the procurator and the chief of the procuratorate, and he is the official position of the superintendent and the five grades, he also belongs to the ranks of civil officials, but he can't afford to provoke the powerful in these places.

"I don't know what you're doing in this official office?!"

"I beg your lord to call the shots for me!" It's okay not to ask, but when you ask, there is a mess, these people call the government to shirk everywhere, and they run into walls everywhere, and the Zhizhou Yamen went, and the Weisho Yamen also went, all of them on the grounds that Wuzhai is not under the jurisdiction of Lanzhou, and they all shirked it cleanly.

When Zhou Hongtu finally heard about it, he was suddenly furious, there was such a thing? I saw him with an angry face, and said with a straight face, "Wait a little bit, wait for me to understand, and then make a plan." ”

In this way, he ordered his own guards in person, and went to the north to explore, while beckoning these squires to enter the government, so that they could discuss, in his opinion, it was nothing more than a few chaotic people, as soon as the army arrived, it was suppressed for a moment, and it happened that his own food and salary were not enough, why not raise some emergency donations from these people first? !
