Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Fish Dies, the Net Breaks
In a local landlord's house in Zezhou, candles flicker. Wang Jiayin is sweating profusely and working hard.
Just as he was in love, he heard someone knocking on the door outside the house.
"Who is so uninteresting?" Wang Jiayin was dissatisfied.
When I picked up my clothes, it turned out to be my brother-in-law Wang Guozhong.
Just as he wanted to wave his hand to drive him away, and then reconnect with his sister, he saw that Wang Guozhong took out a bottle of Du Kang wine.
Du Kang wine is mellow and spicy, it is a famous product of Baishui County in northern Shaanxi, and Wang Jiayin and Baishui Wang Er rebelled together.
Wang Jiayin was addicted to alcohol, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Good things, where did you find them?"
"Brother-in-law, this is not a good mouthful, I passed by an inn when I went to purchase, and for no reason I caught a glimpse of this bottle of wine on the cabinet."
"It turns out that the owner of this inn is also from northern Shaanxi, and he left this bottle of wine and never drank it to keep a memory. I immediately wanted to get it for my brother-in-law, but he wouldn't make it easier. ”
"There's no way, while he went to the firewood room to get firewood to cook and cook, I put it in my arms, put down half of the money, and went straight to the old camp."
Wang Jiayin smiled heartily, "I was originally trapped in the shallow water of Longyou in Shanxi, and in a few days, I will cross Taihang and the dragon will fly to the sky." I got this Du Kang wine, just to congratulate you! ”
When the alcohol addiction came up, she couldn't care about anything else, so Wang Guozhong's sister reluctantly went to rectify a few snacks, and beckoned Wang Guozhong to sit down and have a drink with her.
Wang Guozhong smiled and said, "You can't drink without a wine vessel, I found a pair of white jade wine bottles and a wine jug in the box of this big family, and I happened to ask my brother-in-law to taste one or two." ”
After that, he poured Du Kang's wine into the wine jug, and poured it for Wang Jiayin and himself.
Wang Jiayin looked at the wine glass in front of him, and saw that it was completely different from the shallow small wine cup he used to drink before, but it was an imitation of the deep wine jue shape of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Qin and Han dynasties, and it was quite extraordinary at first glance.
The liquor entered his throat, Wang Jiayin shouted that he was very happy, and he went back and forth with Wang Guozhong, and he had edamame and fried peanuts as snacks, and after a while, there was a bottle bottom.
Chewing a few peanuts, Wang Jiayin didn't wait for Wang Guozhong to pour wine, picked up the wine bottle, and drank it cleanly.
Seeing that the wine was drunk, Wang Jiayin, who was not yet happy, felt a little regretful and ordered Wang Guozhong to bring two more bottles of Fenjiu over.
As soon as Wang Guozhong went, Wang Jiayin suddenly felt a huge pain in his heart, his nose was quite moist, and he wiped a handful, but his hands were full of blood.
Wang Jiayin, who was furious, recalled that Wang Guozhong drank with him, and he had no chance to harm himself, so he could only throw the dish at the woman.
Wang Guozhong's sister was defenseless, and was immediately smashed to the point that her head was bleeding, and she screamed and cried. Wang Jiayin also wanted to take the knife, but this girl turned out to be weak, her eyes were dizzy, and she couldn't touch the weapons on her body for a long time.
At this time, Wang Guozhong also went and returned, and hurriedly protected his sister behind him.
scolded Wang Jiayin, "You dog thief, my family was originally a good citizen of Pingyang Mansion, and after you broke the village, you forced my sister to marry you, and now that the imperial court soldiers have come, you have no good fruit to eat!" ”
Only then did Wang Jiayin know that his brother-in-law had already rebelled, and he finally asked, "I obviously saw you drinking with me, why are you okay?" ”
Wang Guozhong sneered, "This poison is not in the wine, but in the mouth of the bottle." Who told you to be so hungry that you have to drink all the leftovers to your mouth before every drink? ”
didn't say much to Wang Jiayin, stabbed him to death with a knife, and cut off his head.
Wang Guozhong's sister realized that her younger brother had returned to the court and killed her husband, so she hid her face and cried and complained about him.
Wang Guozhong comforted, "Sister, the general soldier of the imperial court has promised me that as long as Wang Jiayin is killed, I will be promoted to be a guerrilla, isn't this thousands of times better than our sister and brother following this rootless duckweed?" ”
"In the future, you will follow my brother and me, not to mention being rich and rich, at least you will have something to eat. Whether it's getting married or keeping festivals, it's up to you. ”
Wang Guozhong's sister stared at him with hatred, and suddenly without waiting for his reaction, she pulled out Wang Jiayin's short blade in the chest and stabbed it into her neck, and even went with him.
Wang Guozhong was sad when he saw his sister become a martyr, but now that the situation was urgent, he could only wrap Wang Jiayin's head, put his sister's body in a bucket and push it into the well, and hurried away.
On the other side, Cao Wenzhao, who had already returned to the foot of Taihang Mountain, was anxiously waiting for Wang Guozhong in the dark.
After a short time, he saw a sudden chaos in the peasant army joint camp led by Wang Jiayin, and noise was everywhere.
After a while, Wang Guozhong also arrived on his own, and as soon as they met, he handed the head burden to Cao Wenzhao.
"I am glad to be humiliated!"
Cao Wenzhao opened his eyes and looked at it, and sure enough, it was Wang Jiayin's head, and he was overjoyed.
"Well done! I will certainly say a few more kind words for you from the Governor. ”
With that, he hurriedly mounted his horse, raised his iron spear, and asked his subordinates to shout "The King of Chaos" is dead, and rushed towards the peasant army.
Although there were only 10,000 horse troops under Cao Wenzhao's command, its real combat effectiveness was several times that of the peasant army.
If it weren't for the peasant army's ability to escape, its whereabouts were often uncertain, and once it mobilized the local poor, it could force the officers and troops to retreat with their numerical superiority, Cao Wenzhao would have cut melons and vegetables and put all these thieves accountable.
The iron spear was stained with blood, and the frightening and scattered peasant army gradually began to break up.
Cao Wenzhao laughed loudly, no longer fighting with them, but like driving away lambs, he pushed them into the camp of the soldiers transferred by Chen Qiyu.
The military preparation road originated from the Ming Dynasty's imperial history to rectify the duty of military preparation.
At the beginning of the Jiajing Dynasty, the rule of the Ming Dynasty gradually deteriorated, and the Ming Dynasty invaded on a large scale, and the Ming Dynasty had to set up troops in various places, and the young scholars who entered the Ming Dynasty were sent out to various places for training and military skills.
Of course, military preparation is not something that anyone can do if they want to, and they generally choose to select "those who are familiar with border affairs are called their duties" and "people who must be experienced and dredged".
As a soldier in the Dao, not only to organize the troops, supervise military affairs, but even need to lead the troops into battle when necessary, Yuan Chonghuan became famous in the first war in Ningyuan and also served as the position of the Ningqian Bingbei Dao.
Under Chen Qiyu's arrangement, the army led by several soldiers had already set up a car formation, and the formation was like an anvil under the protection of firearms, which was difficult to shake easily.
Cao Wenzhao's horse army was like a hammer, driving the enemy to slap on the anvil again and again, thus completely destroying it.
At this time, a relatively organized army appeared in front of Cao Wenzhao's eyes.
They still had a full flag, and seemed to be looking for a crack to flee south.
Cao Wenzhao narrowed his eyes and immediately gathered his subordinates, forcing them to constantly move to the defensive road to the south with the situation of group charge.
However, when they were driven to the front that represented death, instead of collapsing, they broke through as if they had been aroused, regardless of casualties.
Cao Wenzhao was in a hurry, and immediately regrouped his formation, wanting to form a flanking attack with the infantry army in the south.
However, the more the Liaozhen Ma army rushed to kill, the more fierce the peasant army charged.
Until the tipping point came, this army, after paying heavy casualties, actually broke through the defense line of the Ming army!
