Chapter 14: Mountain Sculpture (1)
The Manchu army in Fujian was transferred to northern Fujian to suppress the rebel army, and the few soldiers and horses left behind still had to guard the capital and county seats, and they did not dare to go out of the city to attack the Zheng army.
Regarding the Zheng Jiajun rampant in Zhangpu, the attitude of the government is basically that as long as you don't fight the city, you can do whatever you like, and the government will turn a blind eye and let you go.
Anyway, when the Qing army returns, it will not be too late to settle accounts.
The civil and military officials appointed by the Qing Dynasty did not dare to ask, and the Zheng Jiajun was unhindered all the way, marching for a day and a half, that is, at the foot of a hill outside Pantuo Town.
In addition to the village protection team composed of clansmen, Wang Fugui also gathered more than 1,000 gangsters, deflated people, and villains to help him bully the people and run rampant with his neighbors.
even colluded with bandits to help them get rid of some people who were inconvenient for them to shoot, such as some squires, so as to make huge profits for themselves.
As a reward, Wang Fugui not only gave the robbers tens of thousands of taels of silver, but also helped them dispose of the stolen goods.
It is with the style of this mountain carving that he can earn such a large family property in such a short time.
Wang Fugui is greedy.
He seized so many fields and offended so many people.
Not only did some people hate him to the core, but there were also many people who were jealous of his wealth. Therefore, in addition to the exiles led by Landon who wanted to attack him before, there were also many people who also gathered to attack him. It's just that Wang Fugui was afraid of death, and he always let the Zhuang team protect him, so he was saved from several killings.
With the increase of wealth and the increase in the number of people collected, Wang Fugui thought that the mansion in the town was too small to accommodate so many people, so he specially built a cottage in the hill outside the town to protect himself.
For this cottage, Wang Fugui is very attentive and specially invited a veteran to help design it.
The location of the cottage is quite good, built on the halfway of the hill, and the attacker can only attack from the bottom to the top, and the difficulty of the attack is quite large. Outside the cottage is built into a circle of stone walls, are made of granite piled up, about two zhang high, the outside is around a wide ditch, the ditch is full of spikes, two gates before and after, two suspension bridges outside the door. There are guns, knives and weapons inserted in all directions, and there are several war drums and gongs in the gatehouse.
From the perspective of structure, the layout of the entire cottage is very reasonable, and there are no blind spots and no loopholes.
At the same time, Wang Fugui also drilled several wells in the cottage, and it was also very convenient to get water.
Hundreds of thousands of stone of food are stored in the cottage in case refugees and robbers want to besiege the cottage.
Wang Fugui holds this cottage himself, and it is impossible to break through it without tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
And he took refuge in the Manchu Qing early on, with the Manchu Qing as the master, no one can gather tens of thousands of people to come to Pantuo Town.
Therefore, he was very relieved, and only cared about power and fortune all day long, and did not think of arranging open and secret sentinels or anything like that.
When Zheng Chenggong led 2,000 soldiers and horses to the outside of the cottage, Wang Fugui was still doing bad things in the cottage! The woman with a bit of a look was kneeling on the ground, kowtowing and begging Wang Fugui, and two doglegs next to her were tying up an eight or nine-year-old girl with panicked eyes.
Wang Fugui stared at the mother and daughter with obscene and evil eyes, and said with a smile. "The sister of the Agen family, it's not that I, the uncle of the clan, don't talk about the same clan, it's really that your family owes too much rent, you see, this is a clear record, this really can't be delayed any longer."
Wang Fugui pointed to an account book and said.
"Master Wang, please be merciful, and give a grace for another year, just one year, and I will definitely make up the rent after one year."
The woman pleaded incessantly, and the bluestone slabs on the ground were stained with blood.
Seeing the blood on the woman's forehead, Wang Fugui said expressionlessly: "Hey, it seems that your family's rent arrears have to be paid off with Dong'er." ”
Seeing the little girl who was tied up, Wang Fugui couldn't help but feel a little thirsty. When you get tired of playing, sell her to the kiln and make a lot of money.
Hearing that Wang Fugui was going to use his daughter to pay off the debt, the woman was busy hugging Wang Fugui's leg and said in horror: "Don't, Master Wang, you have a good heart!" I beg you. ”
No matter how the woman pleaded, Wang Fugui was unmoved, "Send this little niece to my room." ”
As soon as he heard that Wang Fugui was going to send his daughter to the room, he didn't understand what would happen in the end. The woman's face was bloodless, and she said, "No, Master Wang! As long as you can let the winter go! You want, you can do whatever you want......" The woman collapsed weakly.
When Wang Fugui heard it, he laughed lewdly, and sure enough, as long as Lao Tzu was coerced, this woman would not obediently let herself play with it.
Wang Fugui hurriedly pulled up the woman, and immediately stripped off the woman's clothes, just as he was thinking about making a big fuss.
A dogleg rolled in panting and stammered, "Old... Lord, no....no....well... Finish. Door... Outside. ”
Wang Fugui was on the rise, thinking about enjoying himself, but he was disturbing this guy, and he didn't understand what he was talking about for so long.
Wang Fugui was so angry that he slapped it, and a red handprint suddenly appeared on the face of the dog leg who hit him, "Dog thing, everything is with your master, you are afraid of a bird, say, what is the matter?" Is it that mud leg who is making trouble again! ”
The dog's legs were dizzy for a while, his ears were buzzing, and he couldn't recover for a while.
Wang Fugui and the others were upset, and just when they wanted to slap him again, another dog leg also hurriedly ran in and said, "The master is not good, a group of people came outside and surrounded the cottage." ”
He said it very fluently and very clearly, but Wang Fugui still slapped it, not for any reason, just because Wang Fugui is in a bad mood now.
"Dogs, I'm afraid of a bird, your master is here in everything, but it's just some mud legs who can't get on the table to make trouble, go, go and meet them." The old man was displeased, and sent someone to exterminate their entire family. ”
Wang Fugui came to the stone wall with a group of dogs, stretched out his head and looked down.
But I saw that there were about one or two thousand rattan armor soldiers dressed in the same color under the stone hill surrounding his cottage, and there were seven or eight artillery pieces in front of the cottage suspension bridge. Standing in front of the gang of soldiers and horses was a general riding a tall horse.
Looking at the group of troops under the cottage, Wang Fugui knew what kind of mud legs this was, it was a group of regular troops.
Wang Fugui, who had seen the Qing army slaughtering mud legs, knew that the group of village guards and dog legs he raised was better for bullying the common people, but when he met these murderous regular soldiers, it was the material for a break.
However, Wang Fugui thought that he had already taken refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, relying on the prestige of his master, Wang Fugui wanted to ask what kind of force the gang under the Qing cottage belonged to, if it was the Qing army, it was his own home.
It's easy to talk about your own family. If you talk about the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, you have to think about using the fierce reputation of the Manchu Tartars in the Ming army to see if you can scare him and let them go.
So he shouted in a pretending manner: "Which general is below, I am here as a military village of the Qing Dynasty." Is there some misunderstanding in your army? “
Zheng Chenggong only had the word money and food in his eyes now, and was not interested in anything else, so he assigned a loud soldier in the army who was specially responsible for shouting to talk to Wang Fugui.
I saw the soldier shouting. "There is no misunderstanding, the fight is to clear the dog, hurry up and give all the money and food, and obediently come out and surrender. Otherwise, after breaking this cottage, the chickens and dogs will not crow. ”
When Wang Fugui, who was standing behind the stone wall, heard this, his teeth were about to be broken with hatred.
Who are these people, so strong, they don't even want to discuss, so they directly ask us to hand over all the money and food.
Isn't that driving me to death!
It's just that Wang Fugui thinks that this group of people seems to be stronger than his side, and he thinks about his own life.
Wang Fugui had to swallow his anger and said: "General, slow down, we live here are all good people from Zhangpu Pantuo Town. We are willing to offer thirteen pigs, eight sheep, two oxen, three thousand stones of rice, and eight thousand taels of silver. Please also ask the general to raise his noble hand and let us go of this poor village. ”
Zheng Chenggong had long been forced out of breath by Qian Liang, and now when he heard the data shouted by Wang Fugui, he was even more anxious.
Zheng Chenggong drew his Longquan sword and shouted towards the cottage: "Give you a moment to kill incense, otherwise our army will kill it." ”
After a stick of incense, Wang Fugui almost fainted, who is this remnant of the Ming Dynasty, so ignorant of the rules.
Didn't the Ming army always ask for money to pay back the money when they treated the rogues and cottages? I'm starting to pay back, you should keep asking for the price.
When both parties have negotiated the price, don't you go back happily to pay the difference, and I will happily continue to live my life. When did the Ming army shout and kill as soon as it came up!
