By the time Li Zicheng arrived at Hong Chengchou, the original arsenal had already turned into a sea of fire.

Only a few hundred Ming troops led by Hong Chengchou and He Renlong were left, and they were waiting for them.

said that it was the Ming army, but in fact, these people were all people recruited from the countryside and markets after Hong Chengchou was ordered to suppress bandits, including cooks, farmers, and people of all professions.

However, after Hong Chengchou's personal training, he won several big victories against the peasant army. This rabble also has a little weather, and is known as the "flood soldiers".

Li Zicheng grabbed the reins of his horse and watched the fire in front of him and the formation of the officers and soldiers behind him.

The fire was undoubtedly intended to limit the cavalry from breaking through from the center, and it was possible to raid only from the flanks.

"Zong Min, you lead two squads to test the feint from the left flank, don't go into the range of the firecracker."

Liu Zongmin received the order, Li Zicheng whistled, led the rest of the team, and hung behind Liu Zongmin.

Seeing the peasant army attacking from the left flank, the Ming army's formation immediately changed, and the first fire was fired a moment later.

As a result, because the distance was too long, it was in vain. Hong Chengchou hurriedly stopped the fire soldiers from coming randomly, after all, this is not Liaozhen, so he didn't dare to waste ammunition like this.

Seeing that there was no danger, the peasant army remained unmoved, and began to curse from afar.

Although the Ming army was a little restless, they also stuck to their posts, and the two armies began to confront each other from afar.

At this time, Li Zicheng led a team of men and horses, quietly bypassed the granary, and began to touch the right side of the Ming army.

After a while, Li Zicheng finished the whole team on the right side, and then he gave the order to charge the right flank of the Ming army!

In Li Zicheng's cognition, the Ming Dynasty army was very dull, and its ability to resist pressure was extremely poor, and when an offensive was launched from the rear and flanks, the opponent would collapse first.

Who would have thought that before he rushed more than ten meters, a burst of shotguns was launched.

This is the tiger squat cannon of the official army, and if it is really a field battle, the cavalry can avoid it as long as it is maneuvering.

But on the narrow charging path at the moment, Li Zicheng is in a dilemma!

The horses in front of him fell, his subordinates screamed miserably, and Li Zicheng could only harden his heart, trample on his former comrades, and kill forward.

This was followed by a volley of fiery guns.

The sound of "Pengpeng" ammunition shooting into the human body, Li Zicheng's figure on the left and right became sparse, but the enemy's face was already clear.

His eyes cracked, he jumped up and slashed into the back of the neck of the officer gunner who had not yet had time to leave.

I don't believe that the Ming army can fight with my Li Zicheng's old battalion in hand-to-hand combat! He forced his eyes on the array of the Ming army, wanting to gather his subordinates, and eat and defeat the Ming army in small bites.

At this moment, only to hear a strange cry of excitement, an officer in armor Wu Ben, raised the Daguan knife, and slashed at Li Zicheng's horse leg.

The war horse screamed in pain, Li Zicheng hurriedly slipped to the ground, and just had time to stand firmly, but saw that the general was smashed down with a knife again.

Under the struggle to resist, Li Zicheng only felt that his tiger mouth was numb.

Fortunately, at this time, Li Zicheng's team had already come to him.

The two armies fought, and their personal bravery was not worth mentioning, and Li Zicheng, who was born in most of the border army, still suppressed the Ming army.

At this moment, there were suddenly a few strange sounds.

The rear team of the Ming army shot out a few strangely shaped paper luans, like kites that children only play.

It's just that its stomach is bulging, and it looks like something is stuffed.

Seeing that the people around him were a little curious and watching, Li Zicheng had a loud alarm in his heart, and he just had time to shout carefully.

I saw that the paper luan that was about to hit the ground suddenly exploded, and countless thistles flew out, shooting several people around me into flesh!

The tide of battle has taken a turn for the worse.

A few days later, Chongzhen, who was in the city of Beijing, also received the results of this local battle.

"Wang Jiayin took advantage of the chaos to enter Shanxi from the Yellow River beach?"

"Gao Yingxiang invited the officers and soldiers to be scattered, captured the king of the troubled world alive, and did not collect it at night."

"Chen Qiyu pleaded guilty, and at the same time recommended Hong Chengchou, the senator of the grain road."

"It is said that this person is brave and resourceful, and he once advised Chen not to surrender, and he was prescient."

"Later, he guarded the granary, fought with the 'breaking general' Li Zicheng's troops, and captured him alive."

Chongzhen raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect Li Zicheng in this life to be captured alive so early.

However, when Li Zicheng was a "breaking general", he really dared to fight tough battles and take the lead, and he would be taken care of by his own "key".

In previous simulations, it was not uncommon for him to be caught or killed.

However, as long as Li Zicheng is allowed to survive, he will definitely make a firm comeback.

This man can only be destroyed, but not defeated.

Because of this, Chongzhen waved his pen and ordered all the captives to be executed.

Emotionally, he has no ill feelings towards the indomitable Li Zicheng, but because of this, he knows that Li Zicheng will never be appeased.

He is responsible for the people of Shaanxi, but he has no extra time to be responsible for Li Zicheng.

Chongzhen began to consider his disposition of Chen Qiyu and others again.

Chen Qiyu offset his merits and demerits, and moved the town to the now absent governor of Shanxi, focusing on clearing the remnants of Wang Jiayin in Shanxi.

After all, the main force of the peasant army at this time was still in the hands of Wang Jiayin, the "King of Chaos".

Hong Chengchou was promoted to the governor of Shaanxi, and He Renlong was promoted to the chief soldier, leading the pursuit of Gao Yingxiang's troops in Shaanxi.

This is a military deployment.

Next, Chongzhen made another edict, asking Qin Fu Hong Chengchou and Jin Fu Chen Qiyu to carry out disaster relief at the same time to help the landless people who had not yet become thieves.

As for the source of funds, it is to suspend the transportation of tax grain, rice and wheat from Qin and Jin provinces by Jingshi, and allow them to dispose of themselves after reporting.

At the same time, the two provinces were temporarily allowed to set up cards at the Yellow River crossing on the provincial border to collect taxes from Shanxi cloth merchants who passed through the place.

In order to ensure the supply of cotton cloth, the Ming court implemented the policy of "cotton cloth levy" in kind, as long as it is a cotton production area, regardless of whether there is weaving cloth or not, the cloth tax in kind must be collected.

The prosperity of Jiangnan in the Ming Dynasty mostly stemmed from the development of the silk and cotton textile industry, and at the same time, merchants from all provinces in the world would carry a large amount of silver to purchase in order to complete the endowment.

The so-called merchants and gangs of all walks of life have halls at the big wharves in Yangzhou and Suzhou, and then they are trafficked to the province for profit.

Many military towns in the northwest also consume a lot of cotton cloth to keep out the cold and as a cloth armor.

This gave birth to the behemoth of the Shaanxi merchant gang, which sold leather goods and medicinal materials to the outside world and cotton cloth to the west, which was extremely profitable.

Due to the inherent defects of the financial system of the Ming Dynasty, this part of the profits was naturally untouchable before.

However, Qin and Jin held the military power in their hands, and it happened that they needed to cut off the border and block the flow of peasant troops, and it was easy to collect the taxes of this part of the merchants.

Next, Chongzhen wrote a third edict.

This is to ask the governor of Fujian to expedite the delivery of seeds of a plant called "tamba mushroom" to Qin and Jin Fu, so that he can arrange for the disaster victims to plant.

This kind of "tamba mushroom" is actually tobacco, which has been introduced together with the high-yielding plant "red hair" since the Ming Dynasty.

But Chongzhen deliberately did not arrange for the victims to plant "red pipes" like the general male protagonist of the online article!
