Chapter 108: Bring the general's Hongwu cannon

The encirclement is impassable.

If two thousand people were to surround a cottage, it would not be so easy, after all, the bandit cottage was too big, and there were ways out everywhere. But to surround a rich man's mansion, it's much simpler.

The well-trained more than 2,000 officers and soldiers, coupled with the locals leading the way, are simply a dimensionality reduction blow to the rich landowners. And Mu Ying also used a strategy to make all the bandits who came down the mountain wear official clothes.

"Go, tell the rich man Zhao that General Ben wants to meet with him to discuss the matter of jointly exterminating the bandits in Feihu Village." Mu Ying said.

His lieutenant heard the order and stepped forward to call the door.

However, he was greeted by a bow and arrow, and the lieutenant hurriedly retreated.

"It seems that this rich man is not stupid." Mu Ying smiled, "I didn't have the role of General Shangben." ”

"General, the notices of the government have been posted on the city gate, no matter how stupid they are, they probably will think that the court will deal with them." Feng Gubao said, "And the power of the rich lord cannot be underestimated, it is estimated that the army was detected by their spies as soon as they entered the village." ”

"Since the soft ones can't work, let's come with the hard ones." Mu Ying said, turned to Zhao Xiaoguan and said, "Do you know the terrain of Zhao Mansion?" ”

"General Yumu, the villain knows the terrain of Zhao Mansion very well. At the beginning, we attacked the Zhao Mansion and killed more than a dozen brothers. Zhao Xiaoguan said, and immediately drew a topographic map for Mu Ying.

"General Mu, the door of Zhao's mansion opened, and the rich man of Zhao asked to see him with a carriage of boxes."

"Let him in."

"Grass people Zhao De, see General Mu. General Mu is young and promising, and the hero is ...... world," Zhao Caizhu looked around, "Please retreat from the general, the grass people have important matters to discuss." ”

"They are all the henchmen of General Ben, there is no need to hold them back, if you have anything to say, just say it." Mu Ying said.

"General Mu." Zhao De was helpless, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said, "If General Mu is willing to retire now, the grass people are willing to offer five hundred taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, and ten beauties...... The grass people have admired General Mu for a long time, and they dare not resist the imperial court, and they are powerless to resist the imperial court. If the general spares the grass people, the grass people are willing to scatter their wealth and share them as ordinary people from now on. ”

"Who do you think Ben is going to be?" Mu Ying sneered, "Someone is coming, someone is chopping, and the gold and silver are left." ”

"General, the two armies are at war, and they will not be killed." Feng Gu Bao said.

"What is he?" Mu Ying said.

Zhao De collapsed to the ground. There were too many officials and soldiers, he knew that he was invincible, and he originally wanted to break the fortune and avoid disasters, but he didn't know that what others wanted was his life.

Soon, he was dragged out by two soldiers and cut off the head.

"Attack now!"

The deputy general took Zhao De's head and threw it at the door of Zhao's mansion. "Ahh With a bang, Zhao De's son in the door roared wildly and spurted out a mouthful of blood, "Mu Ying, you traitor and thief, I don't share the sky with you!" ”

"Young master, you want to mourn!" The servant next to him persuaded.

Before the words fell, a huge impact sound came, and Mu Ying had already begun to attack.

"Kill!" Zhao De's son gritted his teeth and commanded the private soldiers to resist.

"General Yumu, our people have been killed and wounded." The deputy general stepped forward and told Mu Ying, "The Zhao Mansion is not as easy to capture as imagined, but I didn't expect that a rich landlord in the countryside would also have such a strong fortification. ”

"Come on, bring out the general's Hongwu cannon!" Mu Ying said.

Soon the two mortars were lifted out, and the tower of the Zhao Mansion collapsed with a bang amid the deafening sound of cannons.

The officers and soldiers took advantage of the situation to rush in, and the private soldiers of the Zhao Mansion abandoned their weapons and surrendered one after another. The two Hongwu cannons almost deafened their ears and completely shattered what little fighting spirit they had left.

Seeing this, the naturalized bandits in Feihu Village secretly rejoiced one by one: the official army has such a big killing weapon, how can they be able to contend with it? It is definitely a wise move to accept the court's invitation to go down the mountain for the people.

All the people of the Zhao Mansion were firmly bound and escorted to Mu Ying.

Mu Ying ordered that all the men of the Zhao family be killed and the landlord class was completely eliminated.

"Who gave Emperor Zhu this idea, I will grass your eighteenth generation ancestor!" When he was cut, the landlord's son looked up to the sky and cursed.

Those who are willing to surrender surrendered, those who did not surrender were killed, and immediately after surrendering, they were naturalized. All the maids and old mothers, the rich man's wives and concubines, and the daughters of the Zhao Mansion were all spared.

Some of them want to marry, and they can marry local farmers.

So there were some people who made peach blossom luck and married Miss Zhao family.

Then he ordered someone to dig three feet into the ground in Zhao's mansion, and all the treasures and grain were looted. Each villager was given three taels of silver, one stone of grain, and two bags of grain. and instructed Zhao Xiaoguan and Zhang Da to make the two of them the leaders of the villagers.

If they encounter the oppression of rich people and robberies with bandits in the future, let them lead the villagers to collectively resist and protect the safety of the village.

The two readily agreed, they used to be the second and third masters, and they were familiar with doing this kind of thing.

Bandits who came down from the mountains and became good citizens, served as militiamen, and guarded their homes.

……

"General Yu, all the property of the rich man Zhao has been dug up. In addition to the settling-in allowance distributed to the people, rice seeds, grain. There were 100,000 taels of gold and silver left, and 5,000 stones of grain. The adjutant general said.

"A rich man with so much property!?" Mu Ying was dumbfounded when she heard this. "It's really poverty that limits my imagination. When I was wandering, I thought that the rich lord's family ate flatbread every day, and that they used gold to work. ”

"I didn't expect that either." Feng Gubao smiled.

"It's wonderful. With His Majesty's secret decree, not only will I not spend the money of the imperial treasury, but I will also be able to make money for the treasury! Mu Ying said.

"Deliver all this silver and grain to Jingshi."

"The imperial court is now using troops in Liaodong, and it urgently needs money and food."

"Yes, General!" Adjutant said.

Mu Ying didn't have the slightest idea of being greedy for ink. Because he was accepted as a righteous son by Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma when he was eight years old, he followed them since he was a child. He studied and learned the art of war, and was gradually promoted to general.

His loyalty to Zhu Yuanzhang is unparalleled.

After that, Mu Ying contacted the local government. Let people who are familiar with the local land measure and distribute the land together with the people of the government.

After the people really got the land, they were all happy and excited, and they all shed tears. They knelt on the ground one after another, thanking General Mu for his great kindness and Emperor Zhu's imperial grace.

……

After Mu Ying exterminated the Flying Tiger Village and defeated the rich man Zhao, he did not personally exterminate the other bandits, but let the people under his hands go. He himself stayed in Guangxi Province to unite with Pingzhang Lu Xiu and implement the new policy of integrating the gentry and paying grain as an errand man.

"General Mu, the students have collectively boycotted the exam!"
