Two Hongyi cannons were transported to the front of the official office on Dengzhou Road, and the soldiers began to unload the cannons one after another. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhao Lie met with Huang Lie, and he asked Huang Han to go to the governor's office immediately to let the command center of the Broken Army operate.

Zhao Lie stayed to see Geng Zhongming's fate.

After the two cannons were in place, Han Jian immediately gave the order to open the cannons.

Boom, two loud bangs, the iron-clad vermilion lacquer gate shattered open, revealing the empty courtyard behind the door.

Geng Zhongming's guards were not stupid, they all retreated, and the power of the Hongyi cannon was really incompetent.

They retreated to the middle courtyard and continued to resist.

The soldiers of the Broken Army hurriedly moved the artillery forward and bombarded the gate of the middle courtyard, which was also shattered, and this time the guards retreated into the official hall.

Zhao Lie ordered to destroy the official hall with artillery, since he didn't come out to surrender, then he would use artillery to bombard it, anyway, Zhao Lie didn't plan to fill it with human lives.

Just as the soldiers of the Broken Army moved the cannon forward, the white flag stretched out in the official hall, and Geng Zhongming shouted inside that he was willing to surrender if he did not kill the soldiers under his command.

Han Jian looked at Zhao Lie, if Lord Zhao was not present in this matter, he would be in charge, and now that Lord Zhao is here, he can only make a decision with Lord Zhao.

Zhao Lie is a sentence, immediately put down his armor and surrendered unconditionally.

When these words were shouted, there was silence inside.

Han Jian immediately ordered a bombardment.

After the artillery fired, the projectiles smashed the doorway, and even the wall next to the door was damaged.

At this time, Geng Zhongming walked out of the official hall with his whole body draped,

"Geng surrendered, hoping to let go of the soldiers under his command." Geng Zhongming said loudly.

He threw his sword on the ground. The other family members also threw down their armor one after another. Compared to being shattered by an iron egg. It's better to cut off the head, it's too scary to be torn apart by a projectile.

The officers and men who had been surrendered countless times these days and had rich experience did not rush forward immediately, but let the soldiers come to the open field, take off their armor, and then search their bodies one by one.

Several soldiers pressed Geng Zhongming up.

Geng Zhongming is less than thirty years old this year and is tall. It's very heroic, and the skin is really good.

Zhao Lie took a good look at Geng Zhongming, the two of them had met a long time ago, but they had never been in contact so closely, Zhao Lie's first thought when he saw Geng Zhongming at this time was to think of the sentence in the future, how can you be a traitor with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

From the appearance, this person really has a righteous face and a good bearing, but now his eyes are red and his armor is a little scattered, which shows how well-dressed he is on weekdays.

Geng Zhongming also saw Zhao Lie. He arched his hand and smiled, "Dengzhou has become chaotic this time. Unexpectedly, it was Lord Zhao who benefited in the end. ”

"Lord Geng has won the award, Zhao has a small merit in destroying the rebellion, but it is just a rise in the official rank, and the family is just a shadow of fate." Zhao Lie smiled slightly.

"Lord Zhao is going to hide it, if a certain estimate is good, Lord Zhao will be able to dominate Denglai in the future." Geng Zhongming shook his head.

"Why did Lord Geng say this, Zhao Lie was terrified." Zhao Lie said with a smile, but he thought in his heart, this Geng Zhongming is a character.

"Haha, look at the adults who have the slightest fear now." Geng Zhongming looked up to the sky and smiled, "Lord Zhao's military strength is afraid that it will be able to defeat us when we are righteous, but Lord Zhao has endured it for more than half a year, alas. ”

Geng Zhongming smiled with tears in his eyes, "It's ridiculous that we are still daydreaming, and after we have repeatedly defeated the official army and greatly damaged the strength of the imperial court, Zhao Da made a move, and decided to go to Lai in a battle, admiring and admiring." ”

"If you win a prize, you have to do it as a last resort." Zhao Lie arched his hand, "Lord Geng is not a wise person. saw through Zhao's plan at a glance. ”

"Hehe," Geng Zhongming's face twisted with a smile, "It's just that after Lord Zhao defeated Brother Kong, he only knew a thing or two, and it was too late to let others benefit, which was really a big joke." ”

"Lord Geng, such a person, how can he be a thief." Zhao Lie shook his head.

He could only sigh that Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others were all killed from Liaodong, and he knew that Liaodong Shandong was Jiyi, and they were all characters, and it was precisely because of this that they killed people who were unwilling to go to Liaodong to make enemies with Jiannu, because they knew that it was a dead end.

"As a last resort." Geng Zhongming gritted his teeth and said.

"It's a last resort, hundreds of thousands of people in Denglai have lost their lives, and millions of people have been displaced, and you have to do it as a last resort." Zhao Lie said coldly.

"The winner is the prince and the loser, what do you say." Geng Zhongming smiled bitterly.

"Lord You Shilu was trapped in Water City at that time, and he could have to do it, but Lord You was loyal and brave, and he died unyieldingly, this is the model of my generation, and he will shine for a thousand years." Zhao Lie arched his hand in the direction of the ancient city, "Today, as long as Lord Geng tells me where Lord You's bones are buried, Zhao can give you a good time, and leave your family small." ”

"Okay, I can trust Lord Zhao, and on that day, I collected the charred bones of Lord You and his two guards and buried them in... Geng Zhongming was very satisfied with this quid pro quo, it was said that if the rebel was captured, he would be executed by Ling Chi, and his family would also be punished by the clan, so he happily said the location.

As for whether Zhao Lie can keep his word, it is useless to talk about it.

Zhao Lie raised his hand, Yu Dabao pulled out a long knife and forced Geng Zhongming, Geng Zhongming looked at the sky without moving.

The sound of iron entering the flesh came, and Yu Dabao quickly cut off Geng Zhongming's head with a knife, and Geng Zhongming's body fell to the ground.

Xu Hong and Tang Xianwen led more than 100 young officials to walk to the Dengzhou treasury, and the official warehouse here was sealed immediately after the capture of the city, and all the objects were allowed to enter but not to leave.

After the whole city stabilized, Xu Hong and Tang Xianwen immediately brought people here for inspection.

There is no big difference between the official warehouses in Dengzhou and other places, they are all relatively old, and the bricks and wood have lost their true color, but they can still be used, but they have fallen into the rebels for more than half a year, so needless to say, there are a lot of dilapidations.

The first five are granaries, Xu Hongtang Xianwen entered and took a look, only one granary had rice and grain, less than 500 stones, and the others were all empty, and everyone could see hamsters scurrying around.

Brought to the sixth seven large warehouses, which were originally the storehouses of the soldiers, but now they are empty, and the rebels have swelled sharply from 30,000 to nearly 100,000, and all the armor is insufficient, not to mention the others.

When they arrived at the tenth and eleventh warehouses, dozens of soldiers outside the warehouses were closely guarded.

The two opened the treasury and entered to take a look, only to see that the treasury was full of wooden boxes, rattan boxes, large and small, and many boxes near the door were broken, and the gold and silver ingots inside were scattered all over the place.

Because of this, the eyes at the door are full of gold and dazzling, Xu Hong and Tang Xianwen glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise on each other's faces, because they knew what Zhao Lie and Lord Zhao lacked the most, that is, gold and silver goods.

Zhao Lie had told them before that if these hundreds of thousands of refugees were properly resettled, they would not have more than one million taels of silver, although the income from the levy of the army now from taxes and salt goods at sea was also 300,000 taels of silver per month, but many of them were useful here, and the benefits were all on the surface.

For example, the acquisition of Andalusian war horses cannot be stopped, which is related to whether the heavy cavalry can become an army, and the construction of warships cannot be stopped.

Nowadays, the territory of the Broken Capture Army is in Denglai, Jeju, and Beihua, and they all need to communicate with each other by sea, so the construction of merchant ships cannot be stopped, and the construction of warships cannot be stopped by the Dutch and Japanese sailors.

In addition, the sailors of Beihua and Shidao also had to be strengthened by warships, so the biggest expense now is to build ships, like a bottomless pit, which has been eating and drinking for five or six years, and there is no sign of stopping.

In addition, if the adults control Denglai, the various guards in Denglai must distribute acres of land, build irrigation wells, and distribute seed rations like Jinghaiwei, which is a huge amount of money.

It can be said that Shidao's finances are definitely insufficient, which will greatly affect the resettlement of refugees, and finally affect the expansion and reorganization of the army.

Previously, in Huangxian and other places, one million taels of gold and silver were captured, but it was not enough, and now that so much gold and silver have been harvested here, how can the two not be surprised.

The two of them are now obsessed with Zhao Lie's future and even their lives, of course, if they want to break the army to grow stronger and stronger, it is of course the best for Lord Zhao to be in charge of the entire Ming Dynasty.

The two of them immediately led hundreds of people to start counting, and the others had to count out the gold and silver regardless of the others, which was the next trend of the adults, and should not be overlooked.

These young officials were all promoted from the Liao people and the children of military families in Shidao, and after being taught in the school and experiencing general affairs in Jinghaiwei, it can be said that most of them can be taken charge of themselves.

The talents cultivated by Shidao for many years have finally blossomed and borne fruit.

Zhao Lie was not idle in the governor's office, since many people in Dengzhou were looted by the rebels, and now eating is a problem, Zhao Lie ordered Huang Lie to send people to start soup soup in the city.

This tried and tested method in the Liaomin era, one can appease the people, so as not to cause panic after starving to death, and the other is to let the broken army win people's hearts, that is, the people of Dengzhou can be afraid of any army, that is, they don't have to be afraid of the broken army, and doing this is victory.

Zhao Lie regarded this as the biggest priority in addition to the capture of Shuicheng, in addition, the screening of all rebel families had to begin, and the rebellious officials and their families had to be liquidated.

In the evening, Zhao Lie got a few pieces of news that Tang Qian and his family were found, and after Tang Qian was captured, he was forced to rebel and help collect and surrender the Dengzhou guards.

Zhao Lie smiled slightly when he heard the news, in order for Kong Youde and others to control Dengzhou, Tang Qian, a deep-rooted figure in Denglai Dusi, of course needs to be taken down, and there is no need to list any other crimes this time, just being rebellious is enough.

And Wang Yan was imprisoned because he did not obey the rebels, and everyone in his family was kicked out of the house, and the situation was miserable.

Zhao Lie called for someone to release him, resettle him, reunite with his family, and return home after the house was recovered.

Of course, Yang Jingtang, an old and cunning character, is not so easy to die, after the rebels entered the city, he was also rebellious, of course, he didn't do anything for the rebels, just hung up a false position, which made Zhao Lie think a little, these mistakes are destined for the general family to be imprisoned for investigation, but the Yang family...

Regarding Yang Jingtang's disposal, Zhao Lie handed it over to Du Li, and he believed that Du Li would dispose of it properly. (To be continued.) )
