Chapter 264: Murder and Goods
The strength of the Jianghu hawkers is amazing, but in the face of the military formation, it is still not enough to see, unless they can be as brave as Li Chaomeng, but even if they are as brave as Li Chaomeng, they are not arrogant enough to dare to fight against a battalion of mandarin duck formations alone, and they are also mandarin duck formations with muskets.
Boom!
The sound of a musket, just now I flipped up and down and flew the head of the forest dart directly to dodge, but there is a famous saying in the rivers and lakes, I don't know if you know, that is, no matter how high the martial arts are, you are afraid of kitchen knives, no matter how wonderful the moves, you will be knocked down with one shot.
The musket directly hit one of Lin Dart's legs, Lin Dart's movements suddenly slowed down, using fast swordsmanship, the leg method is very important, these masters are usually very particular about training, and they have to work hard.
From a very young age, I had to practice tying sandbags to my legs, and the weight was getting heavier and heavier, and I was very uncomfortable at first, and then when I could walk normally with a sandbag of sixty or seventy pounds tied to one leg, I took off the sandbag on my legs, and this person instantly became a master of high and high.
This is how the light gong is practiced, and now a shot went down to destroy Lin Darthead's leg, Lin Darthead immediately had no power to fight back, followed by the wolf head directly slammed over, Lin Dart wanted to dodge, but was directly held by the wolf, followed by the boring palladium also came to fix Lin Dart's head.
Lin Darthead struggled, and at this moment, ten red tassel guns blocked all the retreats of Lin Darthead, and Lin Darthead was pierced in the heart by a shot, and he was killed.
This time, Li Chaolong and Shi Xiaolei accepted the task of not killing everyone in this line and leaving no one alive.
Including these dart masters and swordsmen, the first is to keep secrets, and the second is because when they help the Tartars to do things, they are traitors, and for traitors, Li Chaosheng's attitude is to kill without mercy.
The killing continues, the dart master, the swordsman, these ordinary people who look very powerful, are vulnerable in front of the well-trained and tacit Lantian army, and the power of the military formation lies in the strength of everyone and attacking one person.
In this way, the maximum lethality can be achieved.
Bang Bang Bang ......
The sound of dense muskets, the sound of rushing and killing, resounded throughout the battlefield, the most difficult of which was the Manchurian Tartars, after many rounds of charges, they were still shouting, although they now only have more than 20 people left, and each of them is wounded, but they are still resisting bravely, trying their best to kill the enemy.
Compared with the Tartars, these swordsmen, these dart masters, are simply weak, no wonder the Ming people talk about the Tartars, it turns out that they are really capable of fighting.
However, it is not important that the gap between people is not as big as imagined, the Tartars are brave and fierce, compared with the corrupt guards of the Ming Dynasty, they are powerful, and they are also invincible compared to the rogues and bandits.
But compared to Li Chaosheng's Lantian army, they are just relatively strong prey.
The Han people have trained well, and they will definitely not lose to the Tartars, but the Han people have a lot of thoughts, and once they think more, their combat effectiveness is insufficient, because the goal is not pure and they don't sell their lives.
But once the goal of the Han people becomes pure, just like those soldiers in Liaodong, they are actually very capable of fighting, and even charge each other with the Tartars without falling behind, why?
Because it was a private army, it was Zu Dashou, it was Yuan Chonghuan, it was Wu Sangui's private army, they could play with their lives when they fought, they knew what they were fighting for, they were fighting for their masters, their own land.
Therefore, they can fight without fear of death, and they can kill countless enemies.
Daming is not without talents, on the contrary, there are too many talents in Daming, as soon as there are many talents, the mind is not pure, and everyone begins to become everyone for themselves, everyone is for themselves, no one is for the Ming country, and Daming will become tattered.
On the surface, the Ming Dynasty still has a big territory, but if you look closely, this territory is a territory of countless vested interest groups, the Jiangnan gentry class, which almost monopolizes the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, what Donglin Party, or various high-ranking officials, almost more than half of them are from Jiangnan.
Then these big officials took power, and they began to seek benefits for their hometowns, such as the rich and prosperous south of the Yangtze River, the prosperity of commerce but no taxes, and the most prosperous places in the Ming Dynasty did not pay taxes, but let the poor people in the northwest squeeze out the grain to Liaodong.
Can the Northwest not be reversed?
Liaodong, this is a vampire with a big tail, absorbing the wealth and population of the Ming Dynasty, just like a quagmire, dragging the Ming Dynasty has no way to get out of it, so he can only struggle and be helpless.
After that, in some of the remaining places, there were gentry from all over the country, intertwined, Yunnan, Guichuan and other places, and the emperor was far away, and it was even more impossible to count on them.
So the Ming Dynasty seems to be a whole, in fact, it is a rag that is about to be broken, Liaodong sucks blood, Jiangnan is stingy, the northwest is poor, natural disasters continue, the Central Plains is okay, but with the northwest being sucked dry, they have now become the hardest hit area of the Ming Dynasty's bloodsmoking, and when the time comes, Henan and Shandong will follow in the footsteps of the northwest.
As for Yunnan-Guichuan, it's okay over there, Sichuan is guarded by Qin Liangyu, and Yunnan is guarded by Muwangfu, which is also considered stable, but it is only stable, and they are powerless to return to the sky, and Qin Liangyu in Sichuan, his Sichuan army has also been thrown by the imperial court in Liaodong in recent years, and even his brother Qin Banghan was killed in the Battle of Hunhe in 1621.
It can be said that the Ming Dynasty is like a person who has changed cancer, Liaodong is a cancer cell, he keeps absorbing the nutrients of the body, and the richest and most nutritious Jiangnan is unwilling to provide nutrients, so they can only absorb other places.
The nutrients in other places were already struggling, but as a result, they were absorbed like this, and they suddenly died, and so on and on, a vicious circle, until the body of Daming fell apart.
In fact, many people in Daming know about Daming's illness, but many people in Daming have vested interests, and it is impossible for them to lose their own interests to help this huge empire.
For example, the civil and military princes of the Manchu Dynasty and the court princes who are full of fat brains, if they have the righteousness of the family and country, the Ming Dynasty will not die, but they don't, they are just a group of vampires who lie on the thin body of the Ming Dynasty and suck blood.
In fact, it is pitiful to say that in addition to the concern of the Ninety-Five Emperor in the court, only Li Chaosheng, a traverser, cares.
The emperor cared because the minister could surrender, but the king of his dead country could not surrender.
And Li Chaosheng cared because he knew how the Manchus treated the Han people, and he had the pity of later generations for this dynasty in his heart, which was a kind of concern for the travelers.
The battle has come to an end.
The dart master and the swordsman were vulnerable, and now there were few people standing, and now in the end, only the ten Manchurian Tartars who were still stubbornly resisting, and Fan Yongfa, who was so frightened that he hid under the car.
The Lantian army contracted the encirclement, and Shi Xiaolei took the firearms battalion to surround Helba and others, who were covered in blood at this time, and Helba and the others gathered several grain trucks together at this time, hid behind the grain trucks, and were using bows and arrows to fight back Shi Xiaolei and others.
And Li Chaolong let the shield bearer in front, leaving only a gap for the musket team to shoot, and the remaining Tartars could no longer run.
And Herba and the others also knew that they would not be able to run today, but the brave Tartar did not give in, but stared at him and prepared to fight to the end.
Shi Xiaolei and Li Chaolong converged, and Li Chaolong looked at Shi Xiaolei at this time and said, "What should I do with these ten Tartars, are they all shot?" ”
Hearing this, Shi Xiaolei said: "Don't, this is a rare thing, see if you can catch it alive, give it to the brigade commander, the brigade commander will probably like it." ”
Li Chaolong heard this, looked at Shi Xiaolei and said, "Are you sure the brigade commander will like live tartars?" ”
Shi Xiaolei smiled at this time: "I should like it, the brigade commander has always said that the Lantian army fights bandits, and the rogue is good, and when you hear the Tartars, you will feel frightened, after all, the notoriety of the Tartars has spread throughout Shaanxi over the years, so the brigade commander said that they want to hold an exhibition, catch a batch of Tartars and let the army people see, these guys don't have two heads and ten hands." ”
Li Chaolong heard this and said: "That's right, when I first saw the Tartar, I was also startled, and my heart was also abrupt, and I didn't feel anything after this battle." ”
Shi Xiaolei nodded and said, "That's the truth." ”
Li Chaolong said: "Then try to surrender!" ”
Shi Xiaolei said: "I'll come." ”
After saying this, Shi Xiaolei came to the front of the battle, and at this time, the besieged Helba wiped the blood on his forehead and said: "Mu Lizhen, you are the youngest, in a while, we will find an opportunity to see if we can send you out." ”
"Ah, Hurba, what do you say, how can the brave warriors of Jianzhou abandon their companions and live alone, and die together."
Hearing this, Helba said: "Mu Lizhen, I am not consulting with you, this is my order, we need someone to bring the news here to Your Majesty, so that Your Majesty can avenge us!" ”
Hearing this, Mu Li Zhen wanted to say something, but was stopped by Helba, at this time Herba looked up and looked through the gap, and found that the enemy was besieging but not attacking, at this time Helba looked around again and said: "The real enemy in Muli is too strong, it is impossible to break through, so I can only try to negotiate." ”
Thinking of Herba, he shouted, "Mingren, let's talk!" ”
Hearing this, Shi Xiaolei looked at Li Chaolong, Li Chaolong shook his head and motioned for Shi Xiaolei to talk, Shi Xiaolei was not polite, and then opened his throat and said, "Tartar, what do you want to talk about?" ”
Herba said: "Mingren, we have a minor child here, you let him live, let him go, we are willing to pay 10,000 taels of silver." ”
Shi Xiaolei laughed when he heard this: "As long as it is a Tartar, regardless of men, women and children, don't even think about running away, I also ask you, are you willing to surrender or die!" ”
Saying that, Shi Xiaolei narrowed the encirclement, and the shield hand began to push inside, and Helba shouted angrily when he saw this: "Rush, rush in one direction, as long as you can rush out, let Mu Lizhen go." ”
"Yes, kill!"
The Tartars screamed, and then brandished their knives and tried to rush out, but they were soon scrambled back by the shieldmen, and Helba tried to rush several times with his men, but to no avail.
At this time, Helba was desperate, looked at Mu Li Zhen and said, "Mu Li Zhen, it seems that I can't send you away." ”
Mu Lizhen said without any fear: "I am also a warrior of Jianzhou, I am not afraid of death!" ”
"Well done, hahaha......"
Hurba laughed, and at this time, Helba stared at Shi Xiaolei and the others who were gradually surrounding and shouted: "Mingren, you are a strong opponent, and I ask you if you just dare to fight a fair one-on-one battle with us!" ”
Helba's eyes were fierce at this time, and he stared at Shi Xiaolei with a pair of eyes, they wanted to take away one more enemy before they died, kill one to be enough, kill two to earn one.
Hearing this, many Lantian soldiers were eager to try, and Shi Xiaolei saw this and said: "Sure enough, the Tartars are not easy to surrender." ”
Shi Xiaolei said, and then pulled out his saber, Hurba and the others watched Shi Xiaolei prepare to duel with Shi Xiaolei, but at this time Shi Xiaolei shouted: "Shoot!" ”
Bang Bang Bang ......
A series of gunshots instantly shot Helba and the others into stoppers, and before he died, Helba stared at him and couldn't believe it, this Ming man was so shameless, didn't he say a fair duel?
At this time, Shi Xiaolei looked at Hurba and the others and said with a sneer: "If I were alone, I would have duel with you, but I am the commander of an army, and the brigade commander said that the responsibility of the commander is to minimize the casualties of his subordinates, and now that the battle is over, I can't joke with the lives of my subordinates because of the so-called honor, if this is really done, my brigade commander can beat me to death with a big mouth!" ”
Shi Xiaolei said, then inserted the knife into the scabbard, and said to Li Chaolong: "Clean the battlefield and see if there are any living people." ”
Hearing this, Li Chaolong immediately ordered people to clean up the battlefield, and then make up a knife on all the dead people to prevent those from pretending to be dead, but in the process of cleaning the battlefield, they captured Fan Yongfa alive.
Fan Yongfa was frightened at this time, trembling, and then looked at Shi Xiaolei and the others: "Good man, good man, spare your life, spare your life." ”
Shi Xiaolei glanced at Fan Yongfa with disgust at this time, he didn't have a good impression of the dog traitor, Fan Yongfa made a mistake again and again at this time, and then Shi Xiaolei said: "What should I do with this guy?" Slaughtered? ”
Hearing this, Li Chaolong said: "Hold it first and see if it's of any use." ”
Hearing this, Shi Xiaolei kicked Fan Yongfa to the ground and said, "Tie it up." ”
And just as he was talking, a large number of people and horses came in the mountains in the distance, led by Liu Airen, followed by 5,000 militiamen pushing wheelbarrows.
Liu Airen pushed a wheelbarrow as the leader, and when they arrived here, as soon as the three of them met, they exchanged a few words of greeting, and then began to put down the grain on the carriage and put it on the wheelbarrow, and then a group of people took advantage of the night to push the wheelbarrow away, but there was too much food, and they had a temporary transfer station in Qinling, where to transport the grain, so that it could be slowly transported back to Lantian County.
And Li Chaolong, Shi Xiaolei and others also took advantage of the night to start dealing with the battlefield, the corpses should be buried, the carriages were all burned, the horses were taken away, and even the blood-stained land was taken away.
However, in order to hide people's eyes, there are still people who have left footprints in the direction of northern Shaanxi, if you want to check, it is estimated that they will be recorded on Wang Jiayin's body.
