Chapter 135: Quelling the Disorder

"Okay, just do as you say!"

Zhu Di slapped his thigh, feeling that He Qiu's idea was good, his hundreds of elite soldiers, the equipment was extremely luxurious, and when the rebels were burned, they might not be able to destroy the rebels in one fell swoop.

Immediately, Zhu Di began to formulate a battle plan, two words, night attack.

Their group of elite soldiers is naturally not afraid of night battles, but the rebels on the opposite side are not good.

Zhu Di set up camp for the time being, and kept sending spies to Linqing City, waiting for the arrival of Zishi.

He Qiu looked at Chen Siwei, whose little face was a little pale, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter, scared?" ”

Chen Siwei nodded a little hesitantly, He Qiu touched his little head, and said confidently: "Don't be afraid, I will leave a dozen people to protect you, and you wait to see how the master and King Yan break the enemy." ”

The last wave of spies sent by Zhu Di also returned, and they clenched their fists to inform the situation in the city, "The rebels are still drinking and having fun in the city at night, and when I came out, even the sentry was drunk." ”

It's normal to be defenseless, even if there are hundreds of households in the original Ming Dynasty among the rebels, their military quality is still far from enough.

The moon is dark and the wind is high and the night kills!

In the darkness of the night, the sound of the group riding horses was faint, and the hooves of the horses had been wrapped before the battle, and the mouths were also encircled to avoid making any noise.

However, the group of rebels on the other side didn't know how to fight, and the gate of Linqing County was broken, and no one repaired it.

This created excellent conditions for the night attack of Zhu Di and others.

The group rode and roared down the street, heading straight for the rebels' baggage, which had been explored during the day.

Zhu Di ordered, "Burn." ”

He Qiu threw the gasoline he had signed in on top of these baggage, and Zhu Di's guards lit the torches prepared in advance one after another, and also threw them into the baggage.

"Whew."

Soon, such a large number of baggage was burning, and the fire was so fierce that many of the rebels woke up from their dreams.

Someone kept shouting, "It's on fire." ”

Most of the rebels were in a mess, and Zhu Di took advantage of the situation to let his guards light all the spare torches, which were hundreds, in order to confuse the rebels.

He Qiu took out the AK from the inventory and shouted, "The official army is here!" ”

"Kill!" Zhu Di took the lead and rushed into the pile of rebels with a knife.

At this moment, the more than 100 elites led by Zhu Di all roared: "Kill!" ”

A group of warriors, attacking a rabble.

From the very beginning, it was an unequal battle, and the first to cause chaos was the group of White Lotus Sect members who followed the chaos without a knife.

Most of the people were running around the city like headless flies, without even weapons, and some were lying on the ground shivering and pretending to be dead.

The most calm were the officers and soldiers of the original Lin Qingwei, they all understood that they had no way to retreat, and many of them rushed to Zhu Di with knives.

It's a pity that it was easily killed by the elite led by Zhu Di.

And the leader of the White Lotus Sect is still sleeping with the concubine of the original Linqing County Order at the moment, before he drank wine with the original thousand households of Linqingwei, and was awakened at this time, most of the wine was awakened, and he ran to check the enemy situation in a panic.

But the whole city was now in a mess, and when he asked how many of his officers and soldiers were, some said two thousand, some said five thousand, and there was no accurate number at all.

Seeing that his subordinates could not be counted on, he saved his mind and took advantage of the chaos to slip away, but he really slipped away.

In the entire Linqing City, there were four or five thousand rebels, and only one or two hundred people really resisted, and most of them fled for their lives after the chaos in the city. Some of them originally wanted to resist, but when they saw that the people around them had run away, they ran away in a daze.

Zhu Di let his men chase after the routed soldiers for two miles, and then slowly returned to the city.

No matter how you look at it, this can be regarded as a big victory, but unfortunately the opponent is not the Northern Yuan, but a small rebellion in the territory, so Zhu Di didn't take it to heart.

Zhu Di didn't care about anything else, but just gave two orders.

"Count the wounded and the county's belongings."

"The rest of the people are going to the streets to maintain order, and don't let the rout take advantage of the chaos to do evil."

He Qiu was also a little dissatisfied with himself, holding an AK like a burning stick, which was completely useless.

Together with Zhu Di's personal guards at night, the city was chaotic, and He Qiu didn't dare to shoot, for fear of hitting the people or Zhu Di's personal guards.

In this battle, He Qiu was completely soy sauce, and he knew this earlier, He Qiu was cut with a knife.

Early the next morning, Ma He began to report to Zhu Di about the losses in the county.

"In yesterday's battle, the palace guards were slightly injured ten people, and no one was killed in the battle, and none were seriously injured."

"More than a dozen cars of goods in the city were burned by us, and the rest were robbed. The total amount of gold and silver treasures was more than 157,000 taels, and the grain was 100,000 stones. Dozens of antiques whose value cannot be calculated. ”

Zhu Di pondered for a while, "The grain will be opened and put in the warehouse on the spot, so as not to kill the people in the war, and as for the gold and silver, we will take it away when the time comes." ”

"Has the bandit leader been found?"

Ma He shook his head, "The thousand households who followed the rebellion didn't run away, they have been beheaded, but the bandit leader of the White Lotus Sect can't be found, maybe they slipped away last night while they were in chaos." ”

Zhu Di forcibly suppressed the fatigue in his heart, "I have done a good job, send someone to inform the governor of Shandong, and ask him to send someone to take over the affairs of Linqing County as soon as possible, and we can also hurry." ”

After sending Ma He away, Zhu Di rubbed his face silently, a little confused, "Sir, what are you saying about the people rebelling for?" ”

Zhu Di said to himself: "I am already very generous to the people, why do I still provoke a civil uprising in the heart of the Ming Dynasty, even if there is a White Lotus Sect to bewitch, it should not be so easy." ”

He Qiu did not answer positively, but sighed: "The people of Shandong are bitter, as the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, the Confucian family occupies hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land, and the Meng family also has a lot. And because it is an important place for Cao transportation, tens of thousands of people have been requisitioned as Cao Ding all year round, and they have been pulling fiber along the river. ”

Zhu Di was surprised, first furious, and then couldn't say anything harsh.

He can't learn from the officials of the later Ming Dynasty to say, "Don't be an An An starvation, follow the praying mantis", he Zhu Di is not so shameless.

In the end, he could only sigh helplessly, "This court is lost." ”

However, he angrily reported the matter of Linqing to his son Zhu Yuanzhang, including He Qiu's mention of the Kong family's forcible seizure of hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land, hoping that Zhu Yuanzhang would pay attention to it and divide the Kong family's land.

Writing this, Zhu Di stopped writing again after thinking about it, because it was too difficult, Confucius was the tablet of Confucianism, and the Confucian family had been treated preferentially for thousands of years.

In the eyes of many scholars in the Ming Dynasty, moving Confucius is equivalent to moving Confucius, and when the time comes, I am only afraid that the Qing Dynasty will be turbulent, and in the end I can only be fined three glasses of wine.

But if it was really punished with three glasses of wine, Zhu Di was extremely unwilling in his heart.
