In the dark night, a long fire dragon was winding its way forward. On the tall horse, Zheng Da commanded the family thugs, with five or six thousand people, and touched towards the camp outside the city.

The Zheng family, as a large family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, has thousands of direct relatives of the clan, including thousands of men, relatives and friends, domestic slaves, long-term and short-term workers, and tenant thugs, all of which add up, and can be used by at least tens of thousands of people.

Especially in these years, the Zheng family has also taken the opportunity to become bigger, and they will not hesitate to eat the weak bandit landlords, and they will attach themselves to whoever comes to the powerful forces. Not only has their strength not weakened, but also continuously increased, compared to Gao Zhongwen, the Zheng family is the real behemoth.

Moreover, after Gu Zhenhua killed Li Jiyu, the other bandits were also frightened, and many Jiangyang thieves had no place to hide, and all of them took refuge in the Zheng family.

All kinds of things are added up, so that the whole family is overly inflated, and there is a posture of self-respect, they are the soil emperor of Luoyang!

A Gu Zhenhua came and wanted to grab land, how could they allow it. Especially when Zheng Jia fled home like a bloody gourd, everyone blew up the temple. This is simply humiliating to the extreme, and it is unbearable.

Zheng Da, as the head of the younger generation, personally gathered the most capable people to attack An**.

He calculated very clearly, An ** is huge, but in fact there are not many people, there are less than 5,000 people in Luoyang, and there are only more than 3,000 people outside the city.

With twice the strength advantage, plus a sneak attack, you won't lose!

Just after ventilating with Ding Qiguang, Zheng Da rushed to the camp with his men and horses.

"Big young master, the little one went to see it, there was a little fire in the barracks. Some people say that they are laughing and laughing, and they are defenseless! ”

"Great!"

Zheng Da smiled and said to his subordinates: "Brothers, the time has come for us to show our skills, solve the problem of An**, and control Luoyang." Whether it is sold to Li Zicheng or sold to the Qing Dynasty. Young master, I am at least the chief soldier, and I can even be an earl. If one person ascends to heaven with a chicken and a dog, you will not suffer if you follow the young master, what are thousands of households. Whatever you want! ”

"Thank you, young master."

"What are you waiting for, rush me!" Zheng Da shouted.

These guys shouted and rushed towards the barracks, getting closer and closer to the barracks, but the camp became black and oppressive, the original fire was gone, and the voices of people disappeared.

A bandit is a bandit. They are brave and ruthless, maybe not bad, but in regular combat, they are still too far behind. The gang didn't notice the danger in the slightest, and like headless flies, they crashed into it.

"As for the people, which rat hole have they all run to. Come out and let Uncle chop you! ”

They shouted arrogantly, and at this moment, the feet of the few people who were suddenly running in front of them went soft and sank, followed by heart-rending screams.

The man behind poked his head forward, and suddenly his whole body was cold with fright. I saw a trench two or three meters wide in front of me, more than two meters deep. At the bottom of the ditch, bamboo skewers were inserted, sharpened, and fried. Don't say it's a meat man. Even if you are wrapped in armor, you can't carry it.

I saw that the flesh and blood were blurred, and they were skewered with sugar gourds, and some of them only injured their limbs, but they were not dead. Being under the howl of the wolf bèi.

"There's an ambush!"

Someone shouted, and the others were so frightened that the queen retreated, and the gang was immediately chaotic.

At this moment, the torches in the camp were suddenly lit together, and the light was as bright as day. Under the firelight, An**'s soldiers held fire guns, shot intensively, and the lead pellets swept into the clouds, hitting them fiercely, and they were immediately killed and injured everywhere, and they were in a mess.

These guys hadn't even touched the musket, let alone how to deal with it, and hundreds of people were killed in a volley of guns.

The trenches blocked the way, they did not dare to rush, and the gunfire was loud, and they kept devouring lives. Unable to move forward, these guys naturally chose to retreat.

It's just that at this time, Zheng Da is still supervising the battle in the back, he knows how to order martial arts, and he has also read the book of war, in fact, when he talks about the book of soldiers, it is to promote him, at most, he has heard that Mr. Storyteller has talked about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

In Zheng Da's heart, he took the lead in sneak attacks, as long as he kept sending people up, he won. Therefore, Zheng Da desperately urged him to rush forward.

The advancing crowd collided with the retreating team, and their own people collided with their own people, falling to the ground, and countless feet stepped on, and soon many people lost their lives.

An ** even beat the water dog and shot as fast as possible. Even many of the recruits have gradually adapted to firearm combat, which is not a war at all, it is like shooting a target, it is extremely easy.

In less than a quarter of an hour, more than 500 people were killed, and they were blinded by the black light, and they could not see clearly, otherwise they were all in danger of collapse. But Zheng Da also felt bad.

"Withdraw, withdraw first!"

But this order was still late, and this time it was Zhou Yingjie who was in charge of commanding in the battalion, and he didn't have many people, but he was just a campfire gunner.

Yue Poyu led a battalion of two cavalry and half an artillery battalion to besiege Zheng Da. As for Xie Bing, the main force of the three battalions at this time had already bypassed the barracks and went to attack Xin'an, that is, the Zheng family's lair.

"Fire!"

Yue Poyu gave a loud order, dozens of tiger squatting cannons roared together, and the rain of bullets fell on the rabble, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of people died. The rest of the people were all stupefied and didn't know what to do.

Facing them, Yue Poyu didn't bother to use artillery anymore, he directly brandished his saber and rushed up, waving the blade in his hand, chopping melons and vegetables, killing and injuring countless people in an instant.

Zheng Da's gang of guys were completely stunned, and they knelt on the ground and asked to surrender. Zhou Yingjie also led the men and horses to press up and easily captured these guys.

"Brother Jiu, I'll leave this to you, I'll help Grandpa Guo."

Yue Poyu turned his head and led the men and horses to Luoyang, but he hurried and hurried, it was still too late. At this time, the most difficult battle was over, and after Ding Qiguang's subordinates were defeated, the heroes in the city took action one after another.

can't blame them for falling into the ground, the Zheng family and the Ding family have not bullied them less, and no one wants to fall behind when this kind of gas meter is xiàn.

How much combat effectiveness can a unit that is bent on escaping. If you don't have anything else, just a rolling pin, you can capture two.

Ding Qiguang's head was also cool at this time, and he didn't have any dreams, and the most important thing now was to save his life. He hurried to the house. At this time, Ding Qirui also woke up. As soon as he saw Ding Qiguang's virtue, he understood everything.

"Bastard, you ruined the Ding family!"

"Shut up!" Ding Qiguang put the bloody waist knife on the neck of the eldest brother.

"Don't give me nonsense, listen to me honestly, I'll take you to the Qing Dynasty now, dare to say more. Don't blame me for not speaking of brotherhood! ”

Ding Qiguang set up Ding Qirui, who was so angry that he almost had a stroke, escaped from the mansion in a panic, got on a war horse, and went straight to Beicheng.

There were chaotic crowds everywhere along the way, all of them were routs, and Ding Qiguang didn't care about anything. As long as he dares to stand in the way, he will be unceremonious, and finally kill a way.

Having cut down the guards of the city, he rushed out with his men.

Seeing Luoyang City, he stomped his feet fiercely, "Wait for the uncle, next time I will come back with the Qing soldiers!" ”

Ding Qiguang turned his head and ran. But he didn't run far, and he happened to collide with Yue Poyu.

"Haha, Fat Pig Arch!" Yue Po Wei screamed, "Suffer death!" ”

Ding Qiguang hurriedly waved his knife to parry, where could he compare to Yue Polu's bravery, his knife was blown away, Yue Polu returned his hand and slashed Ding Qiguang's chest with the back of the knife.

Although it was the back of the knife, the strength was amazing, Ding Qiguang spurted blood from his mouth, and immediately fell under the horse.

A night of fighting. With the capture of Ding Qiguang, the curtain also came down, and all that remained was to clean up the pieces, arrest the deserters, and restore order.

Wait until dawn. The people of Luoyang looked out through the crack in the door, except for the soldiers on the street to clean up the bloodstains, the others were exactly the same as before, nothing special, as if there was no fierce battle last night.

But for those who have a little head and face, last night's battle is not a trivial matter. The strong dragon ran into the ground snake, and everyone wanted to know the result.

At this time, An**'s soldiers were escorting a group of prisoners out, a rope tied to dozens of them, hundreds of prisoners, only one or two soldiers guarded, these people did not dare to resist, all of them lowered their heads, honestly like sheep, and were escorted outside the city.

Seeing this, everyone knows clearly, from now on, this Luoyang City will be surnamed Gu!

At noon, Xie Bin came back from Xin'an with his men and horses, escorted five or six hundred members of the Zheng family, and rushed back.

After running back and forth all night, Xie Bin's eyes were red, but his spirit was extraordinarily sufficient, and his eyes were bright.

"Grandpa Guo, the Zheng family is too rich!" As soon as they met, Xie Bin smiled and said: "There are hundreds of large grain hoards alone, and the new and old grains add up, not one million quintals, but also 800,000 quintals, I really don't know what their family wants so much grain for!" ”

"Keep it for us." Yue Poyu also smiled: "These heroes are all fat, so they simply kill them all and use all their wealth for military purposes." ”

"Not really!" Gu Zhenhua said with a smile: "Time is not coming, Wu Kaijie and they are afraid that they have already arrived in Xi'an, and they are going to join forces with Li Zicheng to fight the enemy." The top priority is to restore order in Luoyang as much as possible, and to take this place in our hands, we have to resort to the power of merchants. Besides, no one can do without anyone, and I still count on them to help us make money, as long as we are obedient, we must use them. ”

As Gu Zhenhua was talking, Fang Jianming ran over, "Grandpa Guo, Zhang Jinyan, Sang Kaidi, Su Quanhe, they are all here, please ask Grandpa Guo to speak." ”

The three-day appointment has arrived, the Zheng family's Ding family has been destroyed overnight, how can the others not be cold from their hearts, now Gu Zhenhua's words are more effective than the holy decree, they don't dare to slack off for a moment, and they all arrived at the palace. Gu Zhenhua received everyone in the back garden again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is no food or drink today, only a cup of tea, I hope you will forgive me."

"I didn't say it, Grandpa Guo worked hard for the country, and he is really a model for the world's ministers." Su Quanhe said New Year's greetings, "The Zheng family harmed the township, burned, killed and looted, and did all the evil things." Grandpa Guo's eradication of this fang is a blessing for the people of Henan. Lao Yu has already contacted some friends and jointly wrote to His Majesty and asked for merit for Grandpa Guo. ”

"Hahaha, Su Lao, it's too polite, it's just a few thieves, it's nothing, today Benjue still finished what he didn't finish."

Zhang Jinyan hurriedly bowed down and saluted, "I'll listen to you." ”

"Ben Jue said, the Ming Dynasty wants to change, the first thing is to improve the treatment of merchants, at the beginning of my dynasty, there were many restrictions on merchants. Now, the restrictions have also been given, and the children of businessmen can also participate in the imperial examination and serve as ministry executives. But after all, business is considered to be the last business. Your children will inevitably be attached to the imperial examination, become peasant households, artisan households, and exploit loopholes in the law. According to Benjue, this is called an asymmetry of power and power. ”

Gu Zhenhua said with a smile: "You have a huge wealth, how many people point to you alive, but in terms of laws and regulations, businessmen can't even compare to farmers, which is obviously not successful." Benjue believes that status, rights, and obligations must be equal. Under Benjue's rule, merchants were exactly the same as the rest of the people, and the big merchants had priority access to the Seniority and advice. In addition, in addition to paying taxes, merchants must accept the protection of the imperial court and no longer be exploited by anyone. ”

When Gu Zhenhua said this, he said with a smile: "Let everyone pay taxes, you may not be willing." But Benjue does things, and he will definitely not let everyone suffer. You usually have to work up and down, and you also have to feed the officials, and the cost is not small. Abolish all this, you only need to pay taxes according to the rules of the lord, and the lord will help you solve all the other troubles, and ensure that you can reduce the burden! ”

Everyone was silent for a while, and Jia Yonglu suddenly stood up, "Grandpa Guo, what you said is true, the villain is not hidden, my annual income of seventy percent will be used to deal with the yamen, as long as it is lower than this number, I will do it!" ”

Gu Zhenhua smiled and stretched out a finger: "The benchmark tax rate, one-tenth, An** urgently needs materials, such as grain, iron ore, sulfur, the minimum can be reduced to half percent, in addition to business tax, in short, the maximum burden will not be more than twenty percent, Ben Jue said he would do it." ”

"Thank you, Grandpa Guo!" Jia Yonglu and the others took the lead and knelt on the ground, "Grandpa Guo, if you can really follow what you said, the villains are willing to follow Grandpa Guo to the death." ”

"Hahaha, everyone, Benjue's words count, but I still need everyone to do me a favor!" Gu Zhenhua said with a smile: "The Manchu Qing Dynasty is in trouble, An ** urgently needs a large amount of food and materials, and the food in your hands must be handed over to me for unified distribution, and you will also help me buy more food." This qiē Benjue will write an IOU, as long as he wins the Qing army, he will pay it back twice! ”

"I didn't say it, the villain agreed!" Jia Yonglu was the first to come over and sign, "Grandpa Guo, the villain will go to Huguang to help you buy food." ”

"Okay, Mr. Jia, you are now the senior minister of the Henan Senior Administrative Yuan, and you enjoy the treatment of a five-grade official."

As soon as they heard Gu Zhenhua's words, the other businessmen who were still hesitating stood up one after another, waved their big pens, and wrote their names.

The corners of Gu Zhenhua's mouth showed a smug smile, these gentlemen and businessmen were tied to their chariots, and they were the real masters of Luoyang!
