Chapter 180: Rupture
"I'm ...... when I'm angry"
Li Zicheng roared, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fell straight back, scaring all the brothers, and hurriedly carried him to the haystack and put it away, and the bride Gao Guiying, who had just been married for a long time, served on the side with a nervous expression.
They were the first to retreat, safely escaped the pursuit of the white pole army, the rest of the people who fled into the dense trees after the collapse of the army were not so lucky, most of them were caught up by the white pole army who were good at mountain and forest warfare, and the result was either surrender or be killed, lucky to avoid the pursuit of the white pole army, not necessarily safe, some got lost in the vast forest sea, or starved to death, or became a delicacy wrapped in the belly of a fierce beast, or fell to death in various natural pits, only a very small number of lucky people were lucky to find the rear camp and return to the army.
Gao Yingxiang's body was also brought back by his cronies and guards, and was buried on this mountain, this battle was really traumatic for the people's army, many leaders and leaders were either killed or captured, and there were missing, the people's army was leaderless, and the respected Li Zicheng was elected as the new leading brother, and the banner of King Gao Chuang was also replaced by King Li Chuang.
The forest sea is vast, like a labyrinth, the most experienced old hunters dare not go deep into this sparsely populated primeval forest, and the white pole army only dared to pursue a few mountains and retreat out of the forest, although there are marks left along the way, but there is still a team of more than 40 people who are lost, the white pole army has lost a total of 137 people, of which only 47 people were killed in battle, more than 40 people were lost, and the other losses were all accidents, either died from the poison of poisonous insects, the bloody mouth of the beast, or fell into the natural pit, which made Qin Liangyu feel distressed for several days.
Gao Jie and Xing Xian had a big marriage in Yangquan Pass, the couple were originally the small leaders of the people's army, and Xing Xian was Li Zicheng's wife.
When Li Zicheng learned the news, it was half a year later, during this period, he led his brothers to recuperate in the deep mountains and old forests, patiently waiting for a new opportunity to fight again out of the mountain, holding high his Li Chuang Wang banner, and continuing to fight with the Zhu family. At the same time, after he was elected as the leading eldest brother, he married Gao Yingxiang's niece Gao Guiying and became husband and wife.
In another deep mountain and old forest, Zhang Xianzhong is also stinging, waiting for the opportunity to start an incident, his situation is much better than Li Zicheng, Song Xiance, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, Qin Liangyu's attention is on Wang Ziyong, Li Zicheng, there is no time to deal with him for the time being, he is also very interested in not tossing a big movement, just ransacked a few small towns, and then turned into pieces, with a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry and grain in batches into the deep mountains and old forests to avoid the limelight, so that Sun Chuanting dispatched a large number of scouts and spy eyeliner, but failed to find his traces.
In some woods in Xingxian and Lan counties, under the leadership of the brothers Qiu Yousheng and Qiu Youzhi, Zhang Yaowu and Li Fengcheng respectively took out the huge iron ingots, iron ore, and a large amount of gold, silver, and jewelry buried by Wang Ziyong and other leaders of the people's army in batches and transported them to the arsenal of the Beijing Division.
When the good news reached the Beijing Division, the whole was cheering, Zhu Jian's mood was very good, this time the layout of Shanxi, not only succeeded in the people's army, but also made a lot of money, the eight great imperial merchants, including the landlords and old rich profiteers, also took the pit again, as for the poor people affected by the war, in addition to receiving a little subsistence grain and compensation for replanting seedlings, they could only consider themselves unlucky, how could the war not kill people, these losses are within the acceptable range of estimates.
The biggest loss is the eight imperial merchants, they have properties in each county, Gu County is the base camp for them to make a fortune, more industries, Xingxian County, Lan County both have smelting workshops and more than a dozen large warehouses, at least the shops in the city are more numerous, these were all wiped out by the people's army, not to mention the heavy losses, even six large mines were blown up and blocked, it didn't take months and half a year to clean up a mine, this is really fatal, has always been rich, the money is so much that the eight imperial merchants finally feel the pain, Hiding in the nest and crying and wiping away tears.
And on Panlong Mountain, Guan Ruoxi, who stubbornly defended on Panlong Mountain, repelled several attacks by the People's Army, and killed and injured thousands of people of the People's Army, became a heroine who fought against the rioters, not only won the strong commendation of the Son of Heaven, was portrayed as a patriotic businesswoman, a heroine, and also authorized her to become an imperial merchant, and an armed caravan of 3,000 people could be established, which made countless people's eyes hot.
The army stationed in the state capital is generally 3,000 to 5,000 people, and the large county town is also a thousand county soldiers, and the small county town does not have county soldiers, only relying on dozens of fast arrest and fast yacha to maintain order, Guan Ruojiao enjoys the privilege of 3,000 private soldiers, which is equivalent to having the strength of a state capital, which is a formidable force, in addition to her financial resources are not as good as the eight imperial merchants, the reputation and power are not lost to the eight imperial merchants, some of the weak and small businessmen who were excluded by the eight families have come to take refuge, they gathered under the banner of Guan Ruoxi, Soon a new force was formed that was enough to compete with the Eight Great Emperor Merchants.
Guan Ruolash has now become the most popular strong woman in Shanxi, going in and out of various occasions, enjoying countless flattery, it is inevitable that she will be a little floating, and her appetite has also become bigger, and she has had a lot of unpleasantness with Zhang Yaowuzhang, the head of the Red Gang Branch, and finally due to the uneven distribution of interests, the two of them have made a fuss to the point of flipping the table and breaking up.
According to the description of the people who watched the lively melon eaters, when Zhang Wuye, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, went downstairs, he kicked off several handrails of the stairs, and his eyes flashed with cold murderous intentions.
In the following half a month, Guan Ruozhi was assassinated three times, but she was lucky and unscathed, everyone speculated that Zhang Wuye did it, but there was no evidence, but Guan Ruozhi still led people to find Zhang Wuye to theorize, in short, the relationship between the two was incompatible, and they never died.
At noon one day, the drunken immortal building.
"This ungrateful ghost woman is so angry with Uncle Ben."
In the private room of Tianzi No. 1, there was a voice of Zhang Wuye scolding, today is his banquet guests, because he has been in an unhappy mood recently, every time he drinks, he will inevitably scold and vent, which everyone knows.
As for who Zhang Wuye scolded, everyone also knew it, but they didn't dare to squeak, now, the most popular thing in Shanxi is the empress Shang Guan Ruozhi, who has the privilege of three thousand private soldiers to make her a tyrant in Shanxi, even the eight imperial businessmen dare not provoke her easily, not to mention ordinary people, just wait to see the excitement, Zhang Wuye, the head of the Red Gang branch who also has a foothold in Taiyuan Mansion, will sooner or later have a settlement with Guan Ruozhi.
After a full meal, the half-drunk Zhang Wuye saw off the guests and was about to board the car to go home, when a well-dressed middle-aged man flashed out from the side, "Fifth Master, please stay." ”
