After the war, the two agreed to act according to the plan, Li Jiantai fled back in defeat, and then agreed to attack Zhou Yanru and Ma Qing on three sides in the middle of the night. When the casualties were counted, Li Long was taken aback by the magnitude of the casualties of the Shandong soldiers, and Yang Dali reported that the pikemen had suffered the most casualties, with 260 killed and 74 wounded. Twelve musketeers were killed and thirty-eight seriously wounded. The crossbowmen suffered five casualties.

Li Yantai's losses were even greater, more than 1,600 people were killed by a bow and crossbow, and 1,100 people were stabbed to death by spears during hand-to-hand combat. The musketeers killed 860 people. More than 3,000 people were injured. Of the more than 10,000 people who were brought, only 7,000 remained. There were also more than 3,000 wounded soldiers.

That night, in Zhou Yanru's Chinese army tent outside Taiyuan City, there was a kneeling general covered in blood, and this person was Li Jiantai. Zhou Yanru's eyes widened angrily, and he was angry. Li Jiantai, the main general of the Ming army, led tens of thousands of troops to be killed by 5,000 Liukou bandits, not to mention the heavy losses, he was not able to eliminate this rebel army, and he saw that the rebels were coming to Taiyuan step by step.

Ten miles was not a long journey, Li Long cleaned up the battlefield, packed up the bodies of the dead soldiers on both sides, loaded the ox cart and followed the army. Half an hour later, the army led by Li Long and Yang Dali rushed to the vicinity of Zhou Yanru's camp, and the soldiers patrolling Zhou Yanru's camp could be seen from a distance. The sentries at the gates of the fortified city chatted listlessly, unaware of the danger.

Li Long looked at Zhou Yanru's camp with military binoculars, and saw that except for a few patrolling sentries in the camp, there were no officers on duty at all, and there was no light in the tents in the barracks, and it was obvious that the soldiers were sleeping. Only there is a bright light in the big tent in the middle, with experience, Li Long guessed that this is Zhou Yanru's big tent, and there is a medium-sized tent near Zhou Yanru's big tent, which is also lit, it is estimated that this is Ma Qing's military tent. , Li Long smiled after seeing it and said: "Traitor Zhou Yanru, you also have today." took Lao Tzu to capture you, exchanged you for money, and called your family members and staff. The emperor's relatives paid money to ransom people, otherwise they would turn Zhou Yanru into Wei Zhongxian."

"Yang Dali, prepare the rockets, let the soldiers not make a noise and lurk over," Li Long ordered

Then Li Long took out his treasure-like folding crossbow, inserted the Swiss Army knife into the knife strapped to his boot, and then beckoned: "Brothers, follow me." ”

The creeping advance of the People's Liberation Army was trained in long-term battles, and although the current Shandong soldiers have not yet reached the level of the People's Liberation Army, there is no problem in dealing with garbage like Zhou Yanru and Ma Qing. A thousand crossbowmen silently approached the camp.

And Zhou Yanru in the big tent was still reprimanding Li Jiantai, Li Jiantai bowed his head and was silent, just let Zhou Yanru reprimand, thinking: "I don't know how long you old thing can live?" ”

As early as when Li Jiantai came to Zhou Yanru's camp to plead guilty, he had already arranged his soldiers and ordered his deputy general Li Jiankang to kill Zhou Yanru's camp when he saw the fire. Be sure to block Zhou Yanru's escape route to the south. And Li Jiantai took advantage of the chaos to capture Zhou Yanru.

Lord Zhou Yuji, the chief soldier in Taiyuan City, also gathered all the cavalry teams. Only after Zhou Yanru's rebellion, he led the cavalry to kill, and the cavalry could also pursue the fleeing enemy.

The city of Taiyuan was brightly lit, and the deputy general Xiong Chong stood on top of the city tower, commanding the soldiers defending the city to strengthen their vigilance. In the city, three thousand iron cavalry have been assembled, and the general soldier Zhou Yuji is wearing armor and riding on a war horse, waiting to set off at any time. 、

"Whoosh, whoosh" two consecutive crossbow arrows hit the throats of the two sentries above the gate of the walled city, and the unfortunate sentry died and fell from the gate before he could shout. After Li Long finished shooting the arrow, he observed that there were no enemies, and found that the sentry was dead. He waved his hand and motioned for the rocketeer to step forward. The archers all bite small wooden sticks in their mouths to prevent anyone from accidentally screaming.

Fifteen hundred rocketeers had already prepared their fire folds, and the arrows were tied with strips of cloth, and the strips of cloth were stained with oil. Only Yang Dali or Li Long ordered the ignition.

Yang vigorously commanded the archers to crawl forward to the fence outside the camp, and squatted in the grass.

"Dali, you can light the fire, shoot him doggy," Li Long instructed Yang Dali

After Yang Dali received Li Long's order, he went down and instructed all the generals to do a unified action. "Ignition, ignition"

"The crackling rocket arrows are burning and emitting black smoke, emitting a deadly force" Li Long saw that all the soldiers had already lit the rockets, so he immediately ordered: "Launch"

More than 1,000 rockets suddenly left the string, flying out at a speed like bullets, and the rockets shot out into the sky in the form of a parabola. Suddenly the whole sky was lit up.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack, enemy attack" The sentry on patrol was the first to notice such a big thing and hurriedly raised the alarm. But the bow and arrow were faster than his running. A whistled bow and arrow pierced his skull. Yes, it was Lee Long's folding bow.

Rockets rushed with fire to the enemy's tents, which were built with cloth and burned quickly in case of fire. Suddenly, the entire camp was filled with raging fires. The second round of rockets followed.

The weather at the end of March is not cold when it is hot, and it is not cold when it is cold. However, the soldiers in the camp still had to take off their clothes when they slept, and the tent caught fire, which immediately burned the supporting wood of the tent, and the tent cloth full of fire fell from the sky, directly covering the sleeping enemy soldiers with a fire quilt. The enemy soldiers fled from their tents screaming and covered in fire, but the fire was too great, and the help of the east wind tonight added to the fire. One soldier after another was scorched in the screams.

The enemy soldiers, who had escaped by luck and had not yet been burned, could only run around the camp in small underpants, and could not find their weapons at all. Soldiers do not look for generals, and they will not be soldiers. Mess.

Li Long saw that the soldiers in the camp were already in chaos, and waved his hand to signal the fire gun to come up. The 2,000 musketeers didn't care about the movement, and came to the fence with their muskets in their hands.

"Fire, don't let go of an enemy, the pikemen obey," Li Long continued to order

"Change the formation into a long gun formation, block the gate of the camp, and not let go of an enemy who escapes," Li Long ordered

More than a thousand spearmen immediately rushed to the gate of the camp, and their subordinates were impassable Tianji. Columns and rows of enemies rushed from inside the camp, but they were all pierced into a sieve by pikemen.

At the same time as the chaos in the camp, Li Jiantai, who was kneeling in the big tent, heard the sound of shouting and killing outside the camp, and knew that Li Long had begun to attack. The time is ripe to capture Zhou Yanru. Zhou Yanru heard shouting outside, and the firelight had already illuminated half of the sky. Know that someone is sneaking up. In a panic, he almost sat on the ground, looked at Ma Qing and asked, "Mr. Ma, what happened outside?" ”

When Ma Qing saw the battle, he unconsciously retreated back, and said in a panic: "Lord Overseer, the men and horses killed from nowhere have already set fire to the tents of our army's camp, and now the soldiers are fleeing in confusion, with heavy casualties, what should I do?" ”

Zhou Yanru slapped the table and said angrily: "Ma Qing, as the chief soldier, you don't know how to deal with the enemy's robbery of the camp, do you still want me to teach you?" ”

Ma Qing's position is not as big as Zhou Yanru's, even if he doesn't want to obey Zhou Yanru's orders, but now that the Ming Dynasty has not fallen, he still has to obey orders in front of the prime minister, Vino said: "The last general knows" As he spoke, he raised his sword and went out of the big tent to gather the fleeing soldiers to resist.

At this time, there were only Zhou Yanru, Li Jiantai, and three of Zhou Yanru's guards in the big tent. The guards were all armed with swords and armor. And Li Jiantai was unarmed. Suddenly, Li Jiantai thought that the hairpin on his head was a small weapon, and said that it was too late, but it was too fast. Li Jiantai quickly pulled the needle from his bun and aimed at one of his nearest guards. Which guard was coarsely clothed, and was pierced through the chest by a needle, piercing the heart. Killed on the spot. Li Jiantai jumped up, rushed to the side of the dead guard with a single arrow step, grabbed the sword and threw it at the other guard. Although this guard discovered Li Jiantai's sudden attack, it all came too quickly, all in an instant.

Draw the needle, throw the needle. Jump, grab the sword, throw, all in one go. When the second guard was impaled in the chest with a long sword. Zhou Yanru realized the danger, and shouted: "Li Jiantai, do you want to rebel?" Dare to assassinate the prime minister, aren't you afraid of destroying the nine clans? ”

Just as Zhou Yanru was making his official words, Li Jiantai killed the last guard again, grabbed the long sword and came to Zhou Yanru.

"Lord Zhou, do you kneel down yourself and let me tie it up, or let me help you?" Li Jiantai said with a gloomy smile

At this time, Zhou Yanru was already frightened, how dare he let Li Jiantai do it, and knelt on the ground with a plop, holding a hemp rope in his hand.

Li Long led the army to shoot the rebels in the camp constantly, and after Ma Qing arrived, the rebels gathered three or four thousand remnants, and Ma Qing expected that the east gate had been occupied and fled in the direction of the south gate. And Li Long's side at the east gate has become a mountain of corpses, a sea of blood, and the smell of stinky human flesh. Li Long ordered the army to rush into the camp, and the musketeers took the muskets on their backs and took out their waist knives to slash and slash. The pikeman, armed with a seven-meter spear, was inconvenient for hand-to-hand combat, so he gave up the spear and took out his saber to chase the deserter.

Li Jiankang at the south gate had already exchanged hands with Ma Qing, and the five thousand elites against the three thousand remnants of the army made Ma Qing defeat in an instant. The defeated Ma Qing fled to the west gate.

After Zhou Yuji, who had been waiting in Taiyuan City, saw the fire, he led the army to rush through the east gate of Taiyuan City, and the three thousand Jin army iron cavalry under the leadership of a fierce general like Zhou Yuji attacked the west gate of Zhou Yanru's camp. , It just so happened that at this time, the remnants of Ma Qing's belt who fled met Zhou Yuji.

Zhou Yuji was a military genius, brave and good at shooting, after joining the army, he was extremely brave in the battle against the Later Jin, and was gradually promoted from an ordinary soldier to the Beijing camp guerrilla of the Ming Dynasty army. In order to reverse the decline in the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the guard, an army recruited by Yu Qian, a squire of the military department, reformed the military system, because all of them were stationed in Beijing, also known as the Beijing camp. In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, many of the generals in Beijing were the children of eunuchs who relied on family background and nepotism to obtain positions, and they despised Zhou Yuji, who was loyal and honest from the lower class, and Zhou Yuji once said to them: "You are all brothers with good family backgrounds, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to fight in the future. ”

How could Ma Qing, who had not been on the battlefield for a long time, be Zhou Yuji's opponent, after fighting for a while, Ma Qing suddenly felt that Zhou Yuji's power was infinite, and every knife had the power of a thousand catties.

"Kill" Zhou Yuji shouted the slogan, and a knife hit Ma Qing's knife like Mount Tai pressing the top. Ma Qing's hands and feet in the sword formation were numb, and the war horse couldn't stand Zhou Yuji's strength, so he screamed and retreated. And after Zhou Yuji's soldiers and Ma Qing's soldiers fought, they suddenly distinguished the difference between heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals and thieves in the world, and Zhou Yuji's soldiers were waving blood-stained swords everywhere they went. Fleeing, staged again,

Ma Qingzhan couldn't help Zhou Yuji turn around and run, ran thirty steps, and heard a "whoosh" sound, and a crossbow arrow hit Ma Qing's eyebrows. When the soldiers saw that Ma Qing was dead, they had no intention of fighting. They all put down their weapons and knelt down in surrender.

Li Long came with a horse, although he was still wearing the costume of a "thief", but his heroic spirit could not be concealed, if the temperament of the overlord Xiang Yu. Holding his little treasure in his hand.

Li Long looked at the dead Ma Qing, spat and said: "Phew, woe to the country and the people, and there is more than innocent death."

"Let's go, let's go," a large group of soldiers, led by Li Jiantai, escorted an old man to Li Long and Zhou Yuji.

"Get on your knees!" The soldier kicked Zhou Yanru's knee violently, how could the elderly Zhou Yanru endure this kind of torture, and when he kicked it twice, Zhou Yanru would only gasp for breath. The wailing fell: "The king spares his life, the king spares his life"

Zhou Yanru is not a fool, he saw that Li Long was in Zhou Yuji, and Li Jiantai's strength was the greatest, and this old immortal did not forget to use the "anti-intermittent scheme" when he found another time

Li Long replied, "Zhou Yanru, do you know this king?" This king is the chief general of His Royal Highness King Li Chuang, Liu Zongmin. Now that the Ming Dynasty has been plagued by you traitors, this king really can't look past it, and he wanted to execute you on the spot to find an old bastard, but His Royal Highness King Chuang said, if you can pay the ransom. King Ben can consider letting you go back."

Liu Zongmin, the chief general under Li Zicheng, Zhou Yanru was suddenly frightened into a cold sweat when he heard that he was looking for a name, looking for someone is a demon who kills people without blinking, if he is a little unsatisfactory, he will definitely dare to kill me. What, ask for money. This is easy to do, and hurriedly kowtowed: "King Liu, I am willing to pay to redeem myself, King Liu, you let me go back to the capital first, and I will definitely send someone to send a ransom when I arrive in the capital."

"Bang, bang, bang" Three loud slaps hit Zhou Yanru's eyes dizzy. Yang Dali scolded angrily after the fight: "Old guy, don't play tricks on our king." You are limited to pay five million taels of silver within ten days, otherwise, if you delay for one day, you will cut off one of your legs, and if you delay for two days, you will definitely be a human being."

Zhou Yanru was already frightened, and kept nodding, unable to speak. Li Long instructed: "Yang Sanli (who is afraid of being recognized by Zhou Yanru's people and complains to the emperor), let Zhou Yanru's personal soldiers go back to Beijing and tell them." Within ten days, if the money is not sent to the Yamen of Hejian Prefecture. Just prepare an ox cart to pull Zhou Yanru's corpse."

On the first day of April, after several days of bloody battles, Li Long defeated Li Jiantai and subdued Li Jiantai's troops. Li Jiantai should be outside the joint sheng to capture Zhou Yanru, Zhou Yuji, Li Long, and Li Jiankang to attack from three sides. Ma Qing was completely annihilated, and Ma Qing was shot dead on the spot. Li Long disguised himself as Liu Zongmin and asked Zhou Yanru for two or five million silver, otherwise he would kill him, Zhou Yanru's personal soldiers have been released back to Beijing, and it is estimated that there will be results in a few days.

After the victory, Li Long, Zhou Yuji, and Li Jiantai joined forces to enter Taiyuan City to reward the soldiers of the three armies, and Zhou Yuji buried the soldiers in Shanxi on the spot. Li Jiantai and Li Long took the bodies of the fallen soldiers and prepared to return to their territories.

Before leaving, Li Long had a long talk with Zhou Yuji and Li Jiantai. Regarding Zhou Yuji's public rebellion against the imperial court this time, this should be done in the future.

Zhou Yuji was also very helpless, originally he was loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but helpless was a traitor like Zhou Yanru, who wanted to murder loyal ministers and good generals in the third place. The former Yuan Chonghuan is an iron lesson, so he had to reverse this time. Zhou Yuji took a sip of Longjing tea, and said helplessly: "The two commanders, now I, Zhou Yuji, have embarked on the road of no return, Brother Jiantai is okay, close to Shandong." If necessary, the two commanders can take care of each other. And my Zhou Yuji's rebellion will inevitably lead to a shock to the government and the opposition, and Zhou Yanru was captured by "Liu Zongmin", it seems that the world is going to be in chaos"

Li Long said: "Brother Zhou doesn't have to be too sad, although he rebelled, there are no generals available in the court today, and there are no soldiers available in the court." I still remember that when Brother Zhou came to Shanxi and took over Xu Dingguo as the chief soldier of Shanxi, he fought a bloody battle with Li Zicheng in Shanxi, and the imperial court only sent 2,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people to help the war, and he couldn't transfer the army at all, so Brother Zhou didn't have to worry. Today's Emperor Chongzhen doesn't dare to offend a military general with heavy troops, at most the court is a symbolic complaint, saying that Brother Zhou is not respectful or something."

Zhou Yuji smiled: "If this is really the case, then I Zhou Yuji is very lucky." If my brother and I are in trouble in the future, I also hope that Mr. Li will pull my brother to help."

Li Long smiled heartily, patted his chest and promised: "If Brother Zhou is willing to mess with me Li Long that day, the chief general must be Brother Zhou's."

Zhou Yuji expressed his gratitude. And Li Jiantai was embarrassed, he did not have the power of Zhou Yuji, and the Shanxi general army that the imperial court was afraid of. He's just a small general soldier in the first house. He only has six guards in the Hejian Mansion. The old, weak, sick and disabled are less than 30,000 people. Now it's really a bit difficult, and I don't know where to go.

Li Long saw Li Jiantai's thoughts, and wanted to surrender Li Jiantai very much, and at the same time, he could get the territory of Hejian Mansion and hundreds of thousands of people by surrendering Li Jiantai. So he said: "Brother Jiantai, why don't you belong to me in Shandong?" ”

Li Jiantai very much wanted to find a backer in his heart, and now he has two options at the moment1, follow Zhou Yuji, the chief soldier of Shanxi, and let the southern part of Hebei be placed under the jurisdiction of Shanxi. , 2 is to surrender to Li Long, the general soldier of Shandong. The southern part of Hebei was placed under the jurisdiction of Shandong. And when he was hesitating, Li Long made a statement that he was willing to accept Li Jiantai's department. This made Li Jiantai very moved.

Li Jiantai didn't think much about it, left his seat and saluted Li Long: "Lord Li, Jiantai took hundreds of thousands of people in Hebei to bring the two prefectures of Hejian Prefecture and 38 prefectures to Shandong. If there is a different heart, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed"

Li Long hurriedly helped Li Jiantai up and praised: "Brother Jiantai is a tiger general, and my fellow villagers in Shandong welcome General Li to join, and welcome the people of southern Hebei to join." ”

"You and I have the same surname Li, why don't you worship brothers, how about righteous brothers, Brother Yuji, how about the three of us worship together?" Li Jiantai proposed

"Okay, Long Yuan and Brother Jiantai, Brother Yuji become brothers in life and death, I don't want to be born on the same day in the same year, but I want to die on the same day and in the same year" Li Long said generously

Li Jiantai also made the same oath, and then Li Jiantai said: "I was born on the fifth day of the first month of the forty-seventh year of Wanli, and I am twenty-one years old this year, what about you?"

Li Long thought to himself, I have traveled from the 21st century, if you are by age, you are more than 300 years older than me, I can call you grandpa. Let's take a look at Zhou Yuji's age first

"Brother Zhou, where's your birthday?" Li Long did not answer directly, but asked Zhou Yuji first

Zhou Yuji replied: "I am the thirty-seventh year of Wanli, and Da Jiantai is ten years old. ”；

Li Long immediately knelt down with incense and said: "The younger brother has seen Brother Zhou, and the second brother Jiantai has seen."

"Haha, haha" That night, the three of them drank three hundred cups in the Taiyuan General Army's Yamen without mentioning it.

It is only said that Li Long and Li Jiantai were guests in Taiyuan for five days, and Li Long and Li Jiantai returned to Hejian Mansion together. Walking slowly on the road, coupled with the remains of wounded soldiers and soldiers killed in battle, Zhou Yanru's prisoner car was escorted. So the march was slow. It took ten days to get to Hejian Province.

After understanding, it turned out that Zhou Yanru's personal soldiers had been scattered everywhere after arriving in Beijing, and the news that Zhou Yanru was captured by Liu Zongmin, a general under Li Zicheng, was spread everywhere. The news soon reached Chongzhen's ears, and Emperor Chongzhen's most important traitor was captured, and he felt very uncomfortable. I heard that Liu Zongmin demanded a ransom of five million taels of silver. Chongzhen began to cry poor again, saying that the court can't get a penny now, and then deliberately took out cornmeal buns to eat at the court meeting when eating, and sang while eating: "Sorrow, sorrow, sorrow is white." The ministers who sang ,,,," were very sad.

Under the court, Zhou Yanru's family kept raising money, and in three days, they moved out 1 million taels of silver and 50,000 taels of gold, jewelry, and jade from their warehouse. It can be seen how corrupt Zhou Yanru is, a big traitor. Then Emperor Chongzhen ordered the ministers of the court to donate money, and he had to lead 70,000 taels. Chongzhen was stingy and took out 20,000 taels of silver. Still crying with a handful of noses and tears.

According to historical records, after the city of Beijing was conquered by Li Zicheng, he collected 60 million taels of treasures in the palace of Emperor Chongzhen, but when he attacked Li Zicheng's righteous army, he refused to pay a penny of military salary, and there were mutinies in many places" See Wu Han's "Great History of the Ming Dynasty"

Later, when the soldiers arrived at Hejian Mansion, they told Li Long that they had brought a total of 50,000 taels of gold and 3 million taels of silver. 600 catties of pearls, 3,000 pieces of silk and satin, and also brought good gold silk nanmu. It is equivalent to more than five million taels of silver.

There are about 34 species in China, as long as the golden wire is obvious, it can be determined as the golden silk nanmu. The fame of the golden silk nanmu is very great, it is a precious wood unique to our country, but the vast majority of people have just heard of it and have not seen it, because since ancient times, the golden silk nanmu is the royal special wood, the history of the golden silk nanmu is dedicated to the royal palace, a few temple buildings and furniture, the ancient feudal emperor dragon chair throne should be made of high-quality nanmu, if someone uses it without authorization, it will be guilty of transgressing the etiquette system. The Ming and Qing dynasties strictly forbade the use of golden silk nanmu in buildings other than the royal family.

Because the Ming court forbade the use of golden silk nanmu by the people, there has been no good golden silk nanmu to make some good "things" from Li Long to the present

There are so many gold nanmu in Zhou Yan Confucianism this week, it seems that he is really not an ordinary capable person, and the emperor's things are everywhere in his house.

"Okay, Yang Dali, bring the carriage loaded with silver taels and go back to the "cottage" Li Long saw that the task of making money this time was completed, so he ordered the class to go back to Shandong.

Zhou Yanru was anxious when he heard this: "Lord Liu, didn't you say that as long as I paid five million taels of silver, you would let me go back to Beijing?" ”

Li Longyin smiled: "Did I say it? Which of you heard? As he spoke, he looked at Yang Dali and his own soldiers

"No, no,,, absolutely not."

"We adults have always said and done what we do, and if we don't say it, we don't say it," and many soldiers "defended" Li Long

Li Long added: "That's it, I just said that if I take five million taels of silver, I can spare your dog's life, but I didn't say that I would let you go...... If I let you go, Emperor Chongzhen still doesn't know what to bewitch you, and I dare to transfer Wu Sangui and Guan Ning Tieqi to fight with Lao Tzu who are guarding Shanhaiguan. Regardless of the safety of Shanhaiguan, so for the sake of the people of the world, I decided to take you with me, rest assured, just eat and drink."

Waterfall, Zhou Yanru spit out a burst of blood mist, and scolded angrily: "Liu Zongmin, count you ruthless"
