In the middle of the village, the wide threshing floor is not only a place for harvesting and threshing, but also a meeting place for the idle people. More than 200 villagers trembled around the threshing floor, and beside them, hundreds of soldiers armed with firearms, their shiny triangular thorns shimmered high in the sky.

These soldiers are even more heroic and tall, all of them are as strong as oxen, compared to the scrawny young people in the village, there is no doubt that one can fight at least ten!

"Folks, you have fallen into the hands of the Tartars in the past few years, and you have all suffered! Now that Ann ** has called, you are not far from a good day. His Royal Highness the King of Liao has implemented new policies over the years, equalized the land, and encouraged industry and commerce, so that you can have enough to eat in the future, and the children can also go to school! ”

Li Laiheng said excitedly, but the people below looked blank and were not moved at all. Li Laiheng scratched his head, it seems that he has no talent for stirring people's hearts.

"I'm not talking nonsense, before we live a good life, we still have to pass a pass, the Tartars will go south at any time, we are going to move you all to Handan now and protect them. Food and supplies were taken away, houses were burned, wells were filled to death, and bridges and roads could not be spared. Do you all understand? ”

The corners of an old farmer's mouth twitched, and he wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.

As soon as Li Laiheng waved his hand, the soldiers immediately followed behind the peasants, rushed to the houses, moved the things out, and prepared to burn them down.

The common people's broken homes have nothing of value, the most is food, and there are cattle, horses and livestock, which is not troublesome to carry. In the blink of an eye, half of the families moved out. But I waited until I got to the one on the east side of the village. But there was a little trouble.

An old woman holds an altar in her hands, her son holds a torch, and her daughter-in-law carries two children. Standing tightly behind them, tears crackling down his eyes.

"This is the old lady's home, even if she dies, the old lady will not move out, you have the ability to come in, and the old lady will burn down the house!"

As he spoke, he lifted the altar and slammed it to the ground. The oil flowed all over the place.

Seeing her like this, the soldiers didn't dare to do anything, so they could only let people report to Li Laiheng.

At this time, Li Laiheng was looking for the oldest farmer in the village. A wad of tickets was delivered to him.

"Master Jun, what is this?"

"Sir, I just forgot something. This time, I carried out the mission of clearing the wilderness. People are to abandon their homes, and the crops that have not had time to be harvested in the fields will be burned. The loss of the people is too great, and we have to compensate for it! ”

When the old farmer heard the word compensation, his eyes widened, how could he dare to believe that this was true, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Master Jun, we are willing, we are willing." As long as people are safe. What a luxury to ask for in these years! ”

The old farmer turned his head sideways, and his eyes were red. Tears rolled down, what he said was exactly what he thought, the army has been going back and forth over the years, and has suffered a disaster once and again, how can there be any reason in the world!

"Sir, I can't hide it, I was originally born in a rogue, and I know what you think. But I tell you, you are wrong, An** is different from the previous army, this is the rule personally formulated by His Royal Highness the King of Liao. ”

Li Laiheng picked up a military coupon and said to the old farmer: "See, there is an amount on it, an army seal, and a number." I got the bank ticket number of Henan, and I redeemed it when I saw the ticket, which is no different from the silver ticket! One house will be compensated for ten taels, one acre of land will be three taels, and your grain will be purchased according to three taels and one quintal. ”

The old farmer's eyes widened, and he asked in horror, "Master Jun, is this true?" ”

"That's nature, and the people will never suffer when they do things!"

"Thank you, Master Jun, on behalf of all the villagers, the old man kowtowed to you!"

The old peasant hurriedly knelt on the ground, crying bitterly, he had seen the army of the Ming Dynasty, met the Liukou, and was ruled by the Tartars, he thought that he had seen everything, he had seen everything, but he didn't expect that there was really an army that could think for them!

Getting up from the ground, the old farmer's hand holding the military coupon trembled constantly, and the green tendons jumped up.

"Master Jun, the old man is going to tell the villagers and take the military coupons!"

"Seventh Master, it's not good, Granny Hong is going to burn down the house, go and take a look!"

When the old farmer heard this, he immediately snorted and said: "It's really a long head and a short knowledge, the old man will go over!" ”

Although he was old, the seventh master was not slow at all, and when he arrived at the place of the incident, he saw that there was a group of people around the courtyard, so he immediately separated the crowd and walked in.

At this time, Granny Hong happened to hold her son and daughter-in-law and wept bitterly, pointing to the sky and scolding the earth.

"Ann**, why don't you come with a thunderbolt and kill you all! The Tartars don't rob the old man's house, how can you be more ferocious than the Tartars, are you all human! ”

"Hong family's nephew, what are you talking about?"

When Granny Hong heard this voice, she hurriedly raised her head, just in time to see the angry Seventh Master.

"Seventh Master, you have lived for such a long time, when did you become a dog for others? Do you want to persuade us to give the house to An**, don't think! The old body is going to die here, let everyone see! ”

The seventh master was so angry by these words that his old face turned red.

"The old man has been upright in his life and has never done anything that violates his conscience. The nephew and daughter-in-law of the Hong family, you don't have to look for death and life, people want to clear the wilderness, everything is burned, you want to do it in advance, to save trouble! ”

When Mrs. Hong heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then cried loudly: "Okay, you old man Hong, even if you die, you will not let you go if you become a ghost!" What benefits did those ann ** give you, the folks all looked at it, this old thing sold us all! ”

The people around were also whispering, to be honest, although they obeyed the order temporarily, who was willing to give up their homeland casually, everyone looked at the seventh master.

"Hmph, unreasonable!" The seventh master said, holding up the military coupon in his hand.

"Folks, take a look, this is given to us by An**, ten taels of silver for a house, three taels of silver for an acre of land, and wait until the battle is over. Let us come back to farming, what more do you want? ”

When these ordinary people heard this, their eyes immediately widened. Is their dilapidated house worth ten taels of silver? More than half of the people are afraid that they have never seen ten taels of silver in their lives!

Many villagers knelt on the ground on the spot and kowtowed.

"Thank you for your great kindness, we are grateful!"

The seventh master knew the situation of each family, and soon handed over the military coupons, and the villagers were smiling, and everyone was happy to put them away. In the end. The Hong family was left.

The seventh master sneered, walked in a few steps in front of Mrs. Hong, who had changed her face, and said, "Nephew and daughter-in-law." The money is here, do you want money, or do you want to find life and death, and do it yourself! ”

Hong Pozi looked at the military coupons. He looked at his home again. Suddenly, he snatched it.

"It's mine, no one can take it away!"

Hong Pozi held the military coupons, her eyes rolled back and forth, and she gradually showed a vigilant look.

"What kind of thing is this, it's not a silver ticket, it's not silver, it's just a blank piece of paper, and I want to cheat my mother's house. If the old lady doesn't do it, I won't agree! ”

Saying that, Mrs. Hong pulled her son. was about to run back into the yard, at this time Li Laiheng sneered: "Stop!" ”

"We are the army, this is the front line, we are carrying out military affairs, for a person who does not cooperate, you can be killed at any time, I advise you not to treat An**'s love for the people as a good bully, to stop in moderation!"

Li Laiheng said, and as soon as he spoke, his subordinates brought twenty-five silver and sent it to Hong Pozi. When Hong Pozi saw the silver, her eyes were straight, and she grabbed it in her hand, for fear of flying away.

"Listen, everyone, this military coupon is calculated according to the daily interest, and if it is marked with thirty taels, you may get thirty-five taels when you settle it."

Hong Pozi opened her mouth to bite the ingot, but when she lost her mind, she actually bit her finger, and blood flowed down.

"Ah, Master Jun, give me that ticket, I don't want any silver!"

Li Laiheng didn't pay attention to her at all and turned around and left, and the seventh master sneered: "Niece and daughter-in-law, tell sù don't be clever, you just don't believe it, you know what you suffer!" ”

The common people with military coupons are extremely happy, a piece of paper is not only light and convenient, but also can get interest, which is really much better than bulky silver.

An **'s neat military appearance and strict discipline made the people full of confidence, and the seventh master and they quickly split up to help Li Laiheng run around the village. The grain was taken away, the wells were filled up, and the homes were burned.

In the end, even the wheat in the field that had not had time to be purchased was burned, and the fire that covered the sky and the sun was filled with thick smoke, and in less than two days, all the twenty miles around Handan were turned into a scorched earth.

Li Dingguo is very satisfied, if he relies on military strength alone, he may be able to do it, but most of the people will be dissatisfied and even resist. But relying on the interests of the prying, these villagers took the initiative to stand with An **, in addition to the old and weak women and children to the rear, the young men who stayed behind also took the initiative to help An ** defend the city, they all know that if An ** is defeated, their military coupons are afraid that they will not be able to redeem huàn, this is the so-called interest connection!

Compared with morality, this one is more reliable, and An ** is using the power of these two days to strengthen the city wall of Handan, accumulate defensive equipment, and prepare to fight with the Tartars!

……

"Amazing!"

Standing on the dirt slope, Dolgon held up his clairvoyance and looked ahead, as far as the eye could see, it was scorched black, and some places were still smoking, and when he saw this, Dolgon couldn't help but grit his teeth.

"Sure enough, there are a group of ruthless outlaws from top to bottom, they burn the fields and villages like this, I don't know how many killings they have to do, and they can do the same to the Han people, it's really amazing!"

Dolgon obviously didn't think that An ** could pay for the losses of the people, and only used coercive means. Fan Wencheng on the side was much older, he could have stayed in the capital, but Fan Wencheng knew in his heart that this was probably the last decisive battle, and if he lost again, the Manchus would have nothing, so he must come.

"Regent, as the saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, although the strong wall and clear field have caused us a lot of trouble, but it is also bound to affect the people and hurt the hearts of the people. I will be able to win in one fell swoop! ”

Dolgon sneered slightly, his mustache curled.

"I have been invincible since I led the troops in my teens, how could I be defeated in the hands of Gu Zhenhua, a hairy boy!"

Fan Wencheng said with a smile: "Speaking of hairy boys, this Gu Zhenhua really deserves this title, I don't know if he is out of his mind, or if he thinks that he has the chance to win, he actually engaged in a Zhongzhou forum, saying that it is the contemporary Jixia School Palace, isn't this not knowing life and death!" ”

Dolgon raised his eyebrows: "What is this pulpit for?" ”

"It is for the old and new factions to debate, and the old minister has already installed people to report back the content of the discussion. After reading it, Lao Chen can only describe it in eight words. ”

"What eight words!"

"Babbling, digging your own grave!"

Boom, boom, boom!

While they were talking, there was an earth-shattering sound of cannons in the distance, and the earth and stones of the Handan city wall were cracked, and bricks flew wildly. A smug smile appeared on Dolgon's face: "Hahaha, my Qing artillery is also extremely sharp, Gu Zhenhua, you just wait to teach it!" ”

Shuosai and Li Shutai supervised the battle in the front, and Li Shutai rushed to the front desperately in order to make meritorious contributions. The Great War in Handan finally began, but Dolgon's mind at this time could not be devoted to Handan.

Just now Fan Wencheng sent the content of the Zhongzhou Forum, and the more Dolgon looked at it, the more puzzled he became.

"Abolish the monarch's father, the imperial power is restricted, the cabinet is in charge, the prince governs, and retires regularly......"

"Gu Zhenhua, what are you thinking, don't you want to be a good Ninety-Five? I don't believe it, I don't believe it, the big husband can't be without power for a day, you are deceiving God! (To be continued......)
