The second was always Lin Qing's defeat and retreat, and he did not enter Heshui County, but joined forces with the reinforcements from Huachi County from the north. Attack together.

Then Heshui County, which is empty of troops, is not just fat to the mouth, and it would be a pity if you don't eat it.

And Huachi County is only 50 kilometers away from Heshui County, according to their footsteps yesterday they have almost walked more than 20 kilometers, if Lin Qing and Huachi officials and troops converge, worried that they will be attacked at night, they will definitely march in a hurry during the day, and at night they will just enter Heshui County for repair. If when he came, we were still fighting the county town and were attacked from the front and back, there was a high probability that our army would be defeated.

So at this time, I want to send people, one step earlier, to infiltrate the county as a defeated army, inquire about information, and see that the situation is that the Buddha is attacking the city, so the people sent must be fine.

After listening to Wang Luo's story, the officer who had just expressed his opinion and was scolded first said: Your Excellency, mark Xu Yi is willing to go.

Wang Luo nodded, he also liked him in his heart, and patted him on the shoulder, reminding: Be careful and rest safely.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Xu Yi said with a serious face

The geographical location of Heshui County extends in all directions, connecting Huachi County in the north, Qingyang Mansion in the northwest, Baoding County in Yan'an Prefecture in the east, and Qingyang County below. Since ancient times, it has been a battleground for soldiers.

The Meridian Valley is inserted at both ends of Heshui County, making Heshui County, rich in products, known as "Natural Reservoir" and "North and Jiangnan".

The county government of Heshui County, the county magistrate was angrily throwing porcelain in the bedroom, and scolded while falling: Lin Qing, you waste, why don't you die, since you were defeated by a group of thieves, you are really angry with me.

Quick county Cheng, you take the government officials to the city to catch the people, let these people go to the city wall to defend the city, and tell those Diao people that if they go to the county seat to participate in the defense, the county government will take care of the food. Those hungry and crazy people will definitely agree, and you will summon the county gentry, and the county order has something to say to them. The county magistrate said to the county magistrate.

The county man verbally said yes, then bowed and retreated.

The county order hugged his fists and said: Li Shishen, Wang Shishen, Tian Shishen, Li Shishen Hello everyone! Today, I summoned everyone here to let everyone out of the silver, everyone knows, today, the crusade against the thieves and the official army was defeated, the defense of the county is not enough, I can only mobilize the people to defend the city, but the silver is not enough, and the gentry need to fund one or two to tide over the difficulties.

In the face of the request of the county order, the gentry have cried poor, you also know that in the past two years of drought in Shaanxi, it is difficult for poor households to survive, and God has the virtue of a good life, so the gentry has been opening a warehouse for many days, saving the people, and the county order is atoning for their sins, and there is really no extra money and grain to fund the county order.

The county magistrate looked at the fat-headed, big-eared and pig-like guy in front of him, but he said how kind he was, and he felt sick to his stomach for a while. Cry poor, cry poor, don't make it so disgusting, okay.

You must know that those thieves in northern Shaanxi have broken through the county seat, but they have to dig three feet into the ground to loot out the money and grain you hidden, and if Heshui County is broken by the thieves, those thieves will not be polite to you. As for me, the gates have been conquered, so I will not disturb your worries. Looking at the group of misers in front of him, the county commander threatened angrily.

In the face of the threat of the county order, the gentry had a painful face, and finally got together 1,300 taels, the county order looked at the more than 1,000 taels of silver tickets in front of them, his eyes were straight with anger, and he was helpless, let them go, no way, these gentry have a wide range of contacts behind them, and the hard ones don't work.

At this time, the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate came in and reported: Lord Zhixian, there are more than 20 defeated troops at the door, but they are Lin Qianzong's elite family, and the leader is still a hundred generals. However, the brothers who returned from defeat said that they had not seen them.

When the magistrate heard this, he immediately became interested, and notified the officers and soldiers to let the hundred households enter the church to pay a visit.

The small Lin Qianhu marked a hundred households and Lin Biao visited the county master. Saying that, Lin Biao lowered his head and respectfully put the token in his hand.

The magistrate looked at it calmly, the wooden card in his hand, flipped through the tricks, and said Lin Baizong, how many years have you been in the army, and what battles have you been through!

Lin Biao lowered his head and said: The mark is to join the army in the forty-fifth year of Wanli, fight the Salhu Battle of Wanli for forty-seven years, and then fight in Liaodong for two years, and then be transferred back to Shaanxi after the period, and then Lin Qianhu has served in 100 households.

When the magistrate heard this, his eyes lit up, and he didn't think about it: Lin Qianhu still has talents like you, so let's do it, you are responsible for the safety of the city in the past few days, if the thief army comes to attack, you will be fully responsible for the garrison.

Lin Biao was overjoyed, and thanked the county master for his promotion, and marked that he was willing to repay him for his death.

Looking at Lin Biao, who was slowly retreating with his fists in his hands, the county magistrate squinted his eyes, turned his head to the county and said: County Cheng, send four people to follow us, Lord Lin Bai, if there is any situation, take it directly. In addition, the family members who came with him were scattered to the four gates of defense, don't let them hold a group, let the officers and soldiers under him keep an eye on it, and don't have any accidents.

Lord Prefectural Commander, since you don't believe them, why do you still entrust the command of the city to him? The county asked suspiciously.

There's no way you and I are not proficient in warfare, and the classic history of the county who is proficient in warfare has lost the war, and there is no whereabouts, now it is rare to have a martial artist who is proficient in war, if it is not a fine work, then it is better to let him command well than we to take risks, if it is a fine work, just take it in one fell swoop, destroy the conspiracy of the thieves, and compare it with the defeated Lin Qianhu, compared with the great achievement. Zhixian squinted and smiled.

As soon as Lin Biao walked out of the county gate, he was followed by four officials, who were known as protecting Lin Baihu, and the soldiers who mixed in with him were also scattered around the city gate and monitored.

The battalion sent Xu Yi and others into the city, convened the backbone of the army, discussed the issue of the prisoners of officers and soldiers, and discussed the prisoners with everyone, among which Xiao Qi suggested: All the officers should be transferred out, and the remaining officers and soldiers should go up and cut a knife, as a vote, so that it is not easy to betray.

Wang Luo disagreed when he heard this, and said: What is the difference between what we do and the officers and soldiers and bandits, and the most important thing is that the rebel army is not only us all the way, they can take refuge in the rest of the people.

Seeing that Wang Luo disagreed, the backbone of the army put forward suggestions one after another, but they were all vetoed by Wang Luo one by one, at this time, Xiaoba said helplessly: This is not good, that is not good, you can't just let them go, let them go back and beat us again.

Wang Luo listened, but said why not, I have an idea: let's hold a grievance meeting, first let us Chinese soldiers talk about our own life before the uprising, and then talk about life after the rebellion.

Then let them tell their own suffering, and then transfer out those who have committed the most heinous crimes, and then publicly execute and kill them in front of the officers and soldiers, and after transferring out the many evils, depending on the severity of the circumstances, they will be sentenced to at least eight years of labor reform, as for the location of the labor reform, the mines around Qingyang County, for those who have performed well, after the labor reform, there are three ways for them to choose, one is after the labor reform, choose to join the army, take care of the food in the army, and then take over their families and distribute the fields to their families.

The second is not to be a soldier, and if you live in this county, you will be given land.

The third is to put it back directly.

When everyone heard it, they put it back and exploded directly, disagreeing that this was not an enemy.

Through Wang Luo's explanation, everyone didn't listen, and there was no way to force it through under the prestige accumulated by Wang Luo.

At noon, many prisoners of the officers and soldiers were pressed to the training ground in the camp, and then the frightened eyes of many prisoners. The officers and soldiers of the original Qingyang County came out and said: I am the second king of Qingyang County, and then began to complain, the misery of his previous life, the oppression of the gentry, and the sadness of having nowhere to complain. As he spoke, he cried bitterly.

The officers and soldiers of Heshui County were originally children of poor families, and after listening to Wang Er's story, the officers and soldiers all had a deep understanding, looking at Wang Er, who was crying bitterly, everyone couldn't help but think of their painful past, and couldn't help crying.

aroused the anger of the officers and soldiers, and they accused the officers of scolding them angrily, and at this time, the officers did not have the prestige of the past, and knelt on the ground one by one and begged for mercy, begging Lord Wang Luo to bypass, just wanting to slip away from his own life.

Under the identification of many officers and soldiers, those officers and soldiers who committed the most heinous crimes were dragged out of the crowd and taken to the execution ground, where they knelt on the ground and waited for orders.

Wang Luo ordered: This leader orders to behead these heinous people on the spot.

The officers and soldiers wept bitterly and said: Spare my life, my lord, I won't dare to wait for the future, and beg my lord to spare my life. Hearing Wang Luo's order, the officers and soldiers who were brought out to confess the crime were all crushed to the ground, guarded by veterans, and in the face of the bright big knife, some of them were appointed like ashes, and some were still begging for mercy loudly, trying to spare their lives.

But it was impossible at all, as soon as Wang Luo gave the order to "kill", the veterans raised their machetes one after another and killed forty officers and soldiers in one go.

Looking at the officers and soldiers who landed on the ground, the officers and soldiers around cheered loudly for their hatred, knelt on the ground and thanked Wang Luo for his great kindness.

Wang Luo looked at the officers and soldiers kneeling on the ground and thought that the bottom of the Ming court, whether it was the common people or the officers and soldiers, really did not have high requirements, just wanted a stable environment of food, clothing, and stability, whoever could do it for them, they could work for him.

But such a simple request, the Ming Dynasty could not do it, and some only had corrupt officials and corrupt officials who could not pay endless taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and ruined their families.

In addition to the officers and soldiers who were killed, more than 200 officers and soldiers who had done evil were singled out from among them and sentenced to two to five years of labor reform.

The bloody heads were in front of them, and everyone dared not disobey, especially after hearing that after the completion of the sentence, there were fields to be shared, and they could go home, as well as travel expenses, and the officials and soldiers were even more meaningless about the sentence.

You and others oppressed the good people, and they were originally going to be decided, but the leader Wang Luo was merciful, and he gave you a chance to reform himself, hoping that you could understand the leader's benevolent heart, reform with peace of mind, and eliminate the sins on your body in the morning.

There is no point in waiting for us, and we dare not do it again. All the officers and soldiers bowed one after another.
