Chapter 301: Li Ren
"Either you will pay me the four hundred taels of silver today, or if you don't, I will take a hundred people to mine and mine gold first." Chief Xun said viciously.
"Deceive too much, deceive too much." The old man sat on the ground and wept bitterly.
"We have not four hundred taels of silver for you, nor have we a hundred Li men to give you slavery." Suddenly, a man stepped out of a distant house.
After the man came out, the Li people in the entire camp were overjoyed.
"Who are you? How dare you rebel? A Qing officer and soldier walked up with a big knife and tried to capture this man alive.
But the man was faster than him, and he kicked it over.
The officer and soldier of the green battalion of the Qing army were caught off guard, kicked in the chest, and flew upside down.
"You dare!" Chief Xun shouted angrily, and more than a dozen Qing officers and soldiers surrounded him.
The middle-aged man saw more than a dozen officers and soldiers of the Qing Army's Green Battalion surrounding, but he was not afraid.
"The year before last, you asked us Li people to pay fragrant vines, pear, red sandalwood and other things, we Li people did not pay, you changed the law to intimidate, last year you wanted to open the mountain to mine, forcing us to pay the mining tax, and this year you said that there were pirates in Yazhou, and even let us pay the tax on pirates." Wang Guochen looked at the more than 20 Qing officers and soldiers present with a murderous expression.
"We need to pay for the mining of the mountains, and we also need to pay for the extermination of pirates."
"It turned out that something really happened, and you people ran away without a trace."
"What's the use of us Li people keeping you dog officials?" Wang Guochen scolded.
"Okay, good, you really dare to say, come on, chop him up and feed him to the dog." Xun grew angry.
The four or five Qing officers and soldiers who were closest immediately drew their swords and slashed at the man.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
A few arrows came out of nowhere, and instantly pierced the bodies of several officers and soldiers of the green battalion of the Qing army.
With screams one after another, several officers and soldiers of the green battalion of the Qing army fell to the ground.
"Who?"
The remaining dozen or so Qing officers and soldiers gathered together in horror.
Many young people of the Li nationality suddenly walked out of the surrounding houses.
These Li youths were armed with longbows or spears and broadswords, and some even held wooden plaques and looked at the Qing officers and soldiers present with a sneer.
"Wait, wait, where did you get so many ordnance?" Xun Chang's face turned white all of a sudden.
"Do you know that possession of knives and bows is a capital offense?" He yelled, his hands trembling as he carried the steel knife.
"Brothers, this court only knows that we will pay harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, force us to sell our sons and daughters, and send us to the mines to work as coolies if we don't pay, are you willing?" Wang Guochen shouted loudly.
"Unwilling!" The young Li people roared angrily one by one.
"Kill these damn Qing dogs and take back the land of our Li people." Wang Guochen raised his arms and shouted.
In an instant, dozens of Li youths rushed forward with swords, spears and wooden cards.
These green battalion soldiers are usually used to showing off their might, but when they really let them go into battle with knives, they are immediately exposed.
In one shot, seven or eight green battalion soldiers were cut down to the ground by the Li youth.
However, after a few rounds, more than a dozen Qing army green battalion soldiers were killed by the enemy. …
"Wait, dare to rebel?" The Qing army was crawling on the ground in pain.
In his back, there were also three arrows, apparently knocked to the ground by the archers as they fled.
"Yes, we are going to rebel, so let's take your dog's head to sacrifice the flag first." Wang Guochen sneered, picked up the steel knife on the ground and slashed it, directly cutting off Chief Xun's head.
The rebellion was like a plague that instantly spread throughout the Li tribe.
The Li people in various hills, mountains, and cottages responded one after another.
However, after only two or three days, Wang Guochen actually pulled up an army of five or six hundred Li people.
Several Qing troops stationed here to monitor the Li tribe were uprooted, and hundreds of Qing officers and soldiers were either killed or fled.
The rebellion shook the entire Lingshui area, and for a while, the people of Lingshui were panicked, and the city gate was closed.
And when Qu Zheng entered Lingshui County with the three towns of Xiaoyong, the local land and sea merchants also informed Qu Zheng of the news of the Li rebellion.
"Hehe, I know that you businessmen are not well-intentioned." After the land and sea merchants informed Qu Zheng of the news, Qu Zheng laughed instead.
"You Ming people are really a bad stomach, especially you Ming merchants, I remember when I was in Luzon, it was you merchants who jumped up and down, and directly rebelled against several Irok tribes, which made the red-haired ghosts in Manila anxious, and now they are pouring a belly of bad water onto Qiongzhou Island." Qu Zheng looked at the land and sea merchant in front of him with a disgusted expression.
The Qing army is not a fool, how can it be possible for the people of Li to hide a large number of weapons?
The Li tribe was able to sweep through the entire Lingshui County in just three or four days, pulling up a team of five or six hundred people, where did so many swords, guns, shields and spears come from?
I'm afraid that only the land and sea trading houses have the ability to offer so many weapons.
The land and sea merchant just smiled and said to Qu Zheng: "Now Lingshui County is already in chaos, and the Qing army and officials in the Wanzhou area only know that Li has rebelled, but they don't know that our Ming officers and soldiers have entered the country, but they can buy some time for the general. ”
"Yes, now the Qing army in Lingshui County has been overwhelmed by the Li rebellion, and I don't have the energy to stop us and others, so I immediately led the officers and soldiers of Qianzhen to attack Lingshui County." crooked
Dear, this chapter is not finished, and there is still the next page Oh ^0^ Zheng naturally knew that he would not come again, and ordered the officers and soldiers of the former town to immediately go to Lingshui City.
At this time, in Yazhou County, the merchants of the Four Seas Commercial Bank were transporting grain to the city non-stop.
Due to the rapid progress of the Ming army, the attack on Yazhou County only lasted for half a day, so there was not much damage in the city, and the people in the city were also pacified by the Ming army that entered the city, and the city also restored the peaceful scene in the past.
Because the county government in Yazhou City was burned down by Zhizhou, the Ming court had no choice but to choose another address to rebuild the official residence.
After hearing about it, a local Yazhou land and sea merchant personally donated a mansion to the Ming court as a site for the government.
At this moment, Xiao Wu, Li Du and others were sitting in the courtyard, discussing the battle situation in Qiongzhou.
"Report, the Marine Battalion has occupied Thanksgiving County, and more than 100 local villagers have revolted."
"Report, the Li people of Lingshui County raised troops and successively captured a number of important flood prevention areas of the Qing army."
"The first batch of grain convoys by land and sea has arrived in Yazhou, and more than 20,000 stones of grain and grass have all been hoarded in Yazhou City."
A herald soldier went back and forth in the courtyard, constantly recovering the recent situation on the battlefield in Qiongzhou.
"Now, our army has occupied the southern part of Qiongzhou Island, and the surface ships of the Qing army have been completely wiped out by our army." Li Shi pointed to Danzhou on the chart and continued,
"Now, our Ming Army's Naval Division should immediately go north and start a decisive battle with the Qing Army's Qiongzhou Naval Division, intending to completely annihilate the Qiongzhou Naval Division."
Now, the battles in the southern part of Qiongzhou Island are basically the Ming army's siege of the city, and there is nothing to do with the water division.
Li Du naturally wanted to take advantage of the Qing army's unpreparedness and lead the sailors north to exterminate the main sailors of the Qing army on Qiongzhou Island.
"It's okay, while the Qing court hasn't reacted yet, Li Du, you immediately led Fuyang Town and Fubo Town Water Division north to Danzhou, and now, the main force of the Qing Army's Qiongzhou Water Division is still there, and the general should be more careful." Xiao Wu actually agreed to Li Du's request to fight.
"My Fubo Fuyang No. 2 Town is a water division town, and there are no Marine officers and soldiers, and I hope the general can allocate some of my army." Li Du hurriedly said.
This made Xiao Wu difficult.
Now, the officers and men of the army town who landed on Qiongzhou Island have all been dispatched.
Dear, this chapter is over, happy reading! ^0^
