The Han army attacked in three directions, and the rebels in various places along the road melted away and collapsed at the first touch. In front of the elite army of the Han Dynasty, these so-called Qinwang Righteous Army, which was composed of gentry and businessmen with their own families, were not opponents at all.

Although Zheng Zhilong, the general of Zhengxi, said that he was a dragon on the sea in the past, he was just as fierce on land. The army of the two towns under his command, out of Juyong, through Xuanhua, Pingdatong, Dingtaiyuan, all the way south, unstoppable.

When Li Zicheng heard the news, he couldn't sit still anymore, and immediately gathered the civil and military forces of the small court in Luoyang in the palace.

"Luoyang, the place of the four battles, is difficult to hold. The four places in the pass, easy to defend the difficult pass, I want to drive the west luck, three days later. ”

Shoufu Lu Weiqi immediately objected after hearing this, "Shaanxi has been plagued by famine for many years, and it has been in turmoil for a long time, and it is rotten and broken. Give up Luoyang today, I am afraid that the world will be alarmed, and the heart of the Qinwang righteous army will be disturbed. The hearts of the people in the world that the imperial court has finally gathered are afraid that they will be shaken again. I also hope that Xin Guogong will think deeply. ”

Li Zicheng sneered a few times, "I'm not here to discuss with you, I'm here to inform you that this matter has been decided and cannot be changed, and Your Majesty has also agreed." Of course, if you don't want to go, I won't force it. ”

"Flee before fighting, how can this work." Several officials spoke out against it, these officials are basically Luoyang natives, and all their family businesses are in Luoyang, so they are reluctant to leave.

"Xi'an has the danger of Kuihan, and there is no Liu Han rebel army in the Guan, and it can be connected to Bahan and Shuzhong. His Majesty's recently sealed Han Duke Luo Rucai was in the Hanzhong area, and I waited until Guanzhong, just in time to summon the Duke of Han to come to King Qin. If the road between Yunnan and Guizhou can be opened again, then the rebel army from Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi can also come to King Qin. ”

After speaking, he ignored the officials in the court and left on his own.

After returning to the barracks, Niu Jinxing said to Li Zicheng, "Lu Qiqi and others are all Henan clans, and the ancestral graves and fields are all in Henan, so they will not be willing to leave." It's better to do it simply. Kill those who refuse to leave and raid their homes, which can not only get a large amount of military money and food, but also deter these rotten people. At that time, no one would dare to oppose the relocation of the capital. ”

Luoyang is a prosperous town in the Central Plains, with a population of hundreds of thousands.

Among them, there are countless wealthy families.

Li Zicheng immediately ordered to investigate the secret Liu rebel party.

In just two days, thousands of wealthy families in Luoyang City who did not want to move out were listed as rebels, and all of them were executed and confiscated, and the price of gold and silver money was as high as more than 30 million taels.

For a while, the people of Luoyang panicked. Lu Weiqi and other 'officials' did not change their color, and when Li Zicheng sent someone to urge them to pack their luggage and prepare to go west, no one dared to hesitate.

If Li Zicheng hadn't asked these hundred officials to decorate the façade, they would have been killed this time.

Li Zicheng grabbed it once, but he was not satisfied, he ordered all the people in Luoyang to be taken away, and he was ready to set fire to Luoyang.

Gantry.

Zhang Shan's battalion is now located here, after listening to the report of the intelligence staff officer. Zhang Shan finally couldn't help it.

"Damn, thieves are killing themselves."

"Dashuai, now many big families in the city regret it a lot, and they shouldn't have sought skin with the tiger. After the agents contacted the rebellion. Nowadays, there are many people in Luoyang City who are willing to do internal response for us. ”

"Are there any generals in the rebel army?"

"Yes, several commanders and deputy generals in the Luoyang puppet court are willing to do it anyway."

Zhang Shan asked carefully, it turned out that these deputy generals of the general army were not the people who broke into the army, but the local generals of Luoyang who were originally from the imperial court. After the establishment of the imperial court in Luoyang, they also served as deputy generals of the general army. Originally, I wanted to get a dragon skill, but who knew that the result was that the rebel armies of the clans around the country were wiped out one after another. And Li Zicheng's arrogance made them even more dissatisfied.

These people don't have any discipline at all, and they rebelled one by one before, but in the blink of an eye, they wanted to do it anyway.

"You can't let the thieves burn Luoyang, let alone let him escape. Now that there is an internal response in the city, we don't have to wait any longer, and go directly to the city. ”

Cai Yuan said loudly on the side, he led troops to Henan to suppress bandits, and he has been suppressing them for more than half a year, and he is still in this situation, he is very annoyed, and now that he has an opportunity, of course he refuses to miss it.

"Okay, fuck it." Zhang Shan slammed his fist on the table and made the final decision.

Although the army has not yet evacuated, Luoyang City has already become chaotic. At first, Li Zicheng still had a targeted choice of some businessmen to raid their homes, but he soon lost his discipline. The army robbed everywhere, fornicated people's wives and daughters, and robbed people of food. Even the soldiers who were not breaking into the army in Luoyang also rioted and robbed in groups.

If the family is not a big official in the court, it will be difficult to escape.

Many Luoyang scholars who happily supported Zhu Changxun as emperor before were dumbfounded this time. The soldiers of the imperial court didn't care so much at all, and they grabbed it when they saw the opportunity. If you don't have enough family, you will only be robbed.

As for those stores, they are even more smashed.

Regarding this out-of-control situation, Lu Weiqi and others cried to Zhu Changxun, and Zhu Changxun sent someone to Li Zicheng to send an edict to him to restrain the soldiers, but Li Zicheng didn't bother to pay attention to it at all.

In fact, at the beginning of the robbery, it was difficult for him, the king to control the situation, easily. Only when the soldiers have eaten enough and grabbed enough, can they be restrained.

It was only at this point that many people finally understood.

The rogue is the rogue, and it is really a tiger with them. After waking up, they began to actively seek a way out. After that period of frenzy, they calmed down, thought carefully, and finally saw the situation clearly, Daming had no drama at all.

In the previous period, there were uprisings in various places, but it was just a return to the past.

In the world, after all, it still has to be fought by the sword.

Zhang Shan and Cai Yuan did not have a lot of soldiers and horses, but it was only because of various reasons that they had not stormed Luoyang before. And now, Zhang Shan didn't want to wait for Zheng Zhilong's expedition to the west any longer, he couldn't wait.

Let Li Zicheng embrace Zhu Changxun as the emperor, which is already a big stain on him. If Li Zicheng is allowed to burn Luoyang again, then he will not be a sinner for the ages.

In any case, it has to be rescued.

Zheng Zhilong is still far away in Taiyuan, and he can't save this near fire.

Fortunately, although the Chuang army has been frantically recruiting troops recently, their strength is not as good as that of Zhang Shan's soldiers and horses, and now Li Zicheng's perverse behavior has finally angered those gentry and merchants in Luoyang City.

With Neiying, it is not difficult to take Luoyang.

The order had been given, and the Han army camp in Longmen was immediately busy.

Liu Yong stood in the barracks at this time, and immediately felt that the familiar smell was back. It had been a while since he returned to his hometown and he had officially assumed the post of captain of the town's militia. The emperor gave him a hundred acres of land, and he also got the contract.

This 100 acres of land are all good watered land, not afraid of drought or waterlogging, it was originally the land of King Fu, but now King Fu rebelled and shrank in Luoyang City, and his Wang Zhuang was naturally confiscated by the government and became official property. Some of the donated land can be taken back by the original owner if he pays a tax. Others were given to those who were rewarded for their exploits in the new dynasty.

100 acres of good land, although there is no preferential privilege, but there are no those additions and fire consumption, in fact, the tax is not high, even if the new dynasty readjusted the field endowment, compared with the past field endowment raised, but there are also many fewer additions, in general, the tax on the field is not much, the burden is not heavy.

After the summer harvest, all 100 acres of land were handed over to Liu Yong.

Liu Yong's hometown actually still has relatives, although he has been gone for ten years. He is actually the eldest son in the family, but because his mother died early, his father continued the string, and the family was poor in the past, and there were many younger siblings, so when he was older, he went out to make a living.

In the past few years, he has also sent money home, but the family has been farming.

Liu Yong came back, took his official body, and suddenly had a hundred acres of land, and the family was very happy. Even his stepmother was very polite to Liu Yong.

Liu Yong simply handed over the land to his father and a few half-brothers, and he himself went to take up the position of militia captain.

The captain of the militia, which seems to be an idle position, is actually more important. Unlike the militia, it is a training camp in leisure time, and the militia captain must be from the regular army, usually a veteran. They are responsible for managing the militia, training the militia, and assisting in the collection of taxes for smuggling, suppressing bandits, and quelling disorders.

Of course, one of the most important duties of the militia is to help defend the city or transport supplies when there is a local war.

At this time, Liu Yong took a hundred militiamen under his command to the Longmen military camp to transport artillery and food for the Han army.

"Captain, the officers and soldiers are really mighty."

"That's nature, otherwise how can you win a hundred battles." Liu Yong said proudly to his militiamen.

Although they came to transport, Liu Yong's team still carried weapons. Their equipment was relatively simple, a hundred people, all dressed in uniform militia uniforms, and their uniforms were not the blue and red of the officers and soldiers, but grass green.

One person was dressed in a grass-green military robe, a cloth belt, a wide-brimmed felt hat, a pair of cloth shoes, a dry food bag, and a backpack.

Their weapons are also relatively simple, Liu Yong is equipped with a handcuff and a waist knife. Most of the rest were equipped with spears, another team of musketeers, another team of archers, and a team of swords and shields.

None of them had horses, but most of them were young men in their twenties and thirties.

The militia is not a formal profession, they are usually farmers and craftsmen in their own villages, and they are only trained when the farm is not working. Liu Yong's militia team was not more than 100 people, in fact, there were many people who were incorporated into the militia, a whole 600 people, but they were divided into six groups, each group was on duty for two months.

Usually there is no salary, but during the training camp, it is full of food and lodging, and there is also a training subsidy. Therefore, everyone is still very willing to be this militia, after all, when the farm is idle, it is also idle.

And if they are ordered to transport military supplies like this, they also have another subsidy, two dimes a day, and they can earn a piece for five days, and if the battle is won, they will have another reward.

"Captain, you said that when we arrive in Luoyang, can we also participate in the war?" A young man asked expectantly.

Liu Yong counted the shell boxes he was going to transport, and said with a smile, "Don't wait until you get to the battlefield, just pee your pants when you hear the sound of cannons." (To be continued.) )
