Hepu County.

When Meng Xiao was experiencing a bloody battle, Ruan Xiufeng was in the county office of Hepu County, enjoying himself freely.

This was Li Jin's residence before, Li Jin in order to make himself comfortable, the county government was renovated, although it was not as good as Li Jin's mansion before Hepu County, but it was still very luxurious.

The splendid decoration, coupled with all kinds of fun facilities, made Ruan Xiufeng simply linger.

For Ruan Xiufeng's kind of dirt buns, Li Jin's various novel tricks are simply dimensionality reduction blows, which make Ruan Xiufeng addicted to them and unable to extricate himself.

According to his plan, he only needs to grab a handful of Hepu County and run, after all, although he is bold, he also knows that he will not be the opponent of the Ming army.

His confidence comes from the nearly one million natives in Guangxi, as well as the complex mountain and forest environment.

As long as he can return to the clan smoothly with the loot, he will take the tribe with him to migrate, and migration is a very common thing for Tusi.

I will give up the place where I have lived for many years, but it will be worth it compared to this harvest.

The prosperity of Hepu County exceeded his imagination, and he felt that this loot alone was enough for him to squander in ten lifetimes.

Originally, he planned to make a quick decision, but now Ruan Xiufeng was obsessed with the fun of the county government, and waited until the tenth day, most of the natives were still scattered around Hepu County to loot, and they did not seem to stop at all.

At this time, Ruan Xiufeng's younger brother Ruan Xiulin couldn't stand it anymore, so he directly broke into Ruan Xiufeng's mansion and asked to see Ruan Xiufeng.

Ruan Xiufeng's personal guard told Ruan Xiulin that Ruan Xiufeng had important matters to deal with and it was inconvenient to meet guests.

Ruan Xiulin ignored it and rushed straight into the bathroom in the county office, he knew that it was Ruan Xiufeng's favorite place to stay.

Ruan Xiulin saw Ruan Xiufeng's extravagant and depraved appearance, and he was angry, "Big deal? Could it be that the big brother's major event is that there is no extravagance? ”

"Big brother, you have also read the history books, after Liu Bang entered Guanzhong, he was obsessed with the prosperity of Afang Palace, and he messed around in the palace every day, but it eventually led to the humiliation of the Hongmen Banquet."

"Now how similar is the eldest brother to that Liu Bang? Doesn't the eldest brother know that once the Ming army arrives, all of our brothers will be in a catastrophe? ”

Ruan Xiufeng saw that Ruan Xiulin dared to preach in front of him, and he was furious and shouted:

"Shut up, I'm not Liu Bang, and Ming Jun is not Xiang Yu, I'm just enjoying it here for a few days, I don't need you to preach here!"

"What if the Ming army comes? I have 300,000 sons under my command, what are you afraid of? ”

"You get out of here now, I don't need you to teach me how to do things!"

Ruan Xiulin saw that Ruan Xiufeng was still obsessed, and couldn't help but start to get anxious, and suggested again, hoping that Ruan Xiufeng could turn back.

"Big brother, you are indeed not Liu Bang, and Ming Jun is not Xiang Yu."

"But the Ming army is stronger than Xiang Yu, and more importantly, the Ming army will not let us go like Xiang Yu."

"Big brother, we should go, or we won't come..."

"Shut up! Get lost!! Get out of here immediately!! ”

Ruan Xiufeng was furious, he couldn't listen to Ruan Xiulin's persuasion at all, he just felt that Ruan Xiulin was insulting him.

Seeing this, Ruan Xiulin closed his mouth unwillingly, and finally retreated gloomily, while Ruan Xiufeng was business as usual and did not take Ruan Xiulin's suggestion to heart at all.

In this way, another three days passed, and when Ruan Xiufeng finally began to consider whether to withdraw from the army, a thunderbolt from the sky reached his ears.

The Ming army is coming!!

...

On the sea surface of the Gulf of Tonkin

Li Jin stood at the bow of the ship with a depressed face, looking at the coastline looming in the distance, his brows furrowed slightly.

Zhu Biao also looked at the north with a heavy expression, where is the port location of Hepu County, I don't know what has become of it at this moment?

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little dignified, Lan Yu couldn't help but open his mouth to adjust the atmosphere:

"Today's weather is pretty good, the breeze is blowing, the sky is cloudless, haha... Hah..."

Lan Yu smiled and smiled, and found that Li Jin was staring at him, which made him extremely embarrassed.

He naturally knew why Li Jin was like this, after all, Li Jin didn't want to come to this troubled water at all, it was Lan Yu who pulled Li Jin with a dead face, and he had to ask Li Jin to accompany him.

Now this scene can only be said to be Lan Yu's own doing.

Seeing this, Lan Yu had to change the topic again:

"Lord Li, what do you think should be done with these natives in this rebellion?"

"Kill!!"

Li Jin's expression was indifferent, and the words he said were even more cold and piercing, making Lan Yu couldn't help but stand on end, because he remembered a certain night last year.

"It's... Isn't that a bit too much? ”

Zhu Biao was originally worried, but when he heard Li Jin's words at this moment, he suddenly became even more worried.

"There are nearly a million people in Guangxi, and if you kill these rebellious Tusi, I am afraid it will cause an even greater rebellion in Guangxi."

"Kill those who dare to rebel!!"

Li Jin's eyes did not have a trace of waves, and he said coldly:

"The previous reform of the land we implemented was effective, but the effect was too slow, and these natives were afraid of power but not virtue."

"In that case, let's kill!!"

"Those who don't want to go out of the mountain, kill!"

"If there are dissenters, kill!"

"Those who are unwilling to obey the arrangement of the imperial court, kill!!"

"Kill him on the head, kill him with a river of blood, force him to change the land and return to the stream, and cut the mess with a quick knife!"

"Since this group of people don't want to be decent, then we will help them be decent!"

Li Jin's several killing words were loud, startling both Lan Yu and Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao wanted to say something more, but Lan Yu had already begun to nod and said:

"I used to follow Tang Dashuai to the southwest to quell the rebellion."

"These toasts are used to being at ease in the southwest one by one, lawless, and they don't pay attention to the laws of the imperial court at all."

"Until our army arrived and killed nearly 100,000 people, Tusi suddenly settled down a lot."

"At that time, we didn't know what to do to change the land and return to the river, if we could have taken the opportunity to implement the change of land and return to the river at that time, I think there would not be the troubles we have now."

"I think Master Li's proposal is good, on the southwest side, that's it, it makes sense to have a big fist."

When Zhu Biao saw Lan Yu say this, he could only nod and agree in the end, after all, when he conquered the southwest, it was Tang and Lan Yu, Fu Youde and others who pacified it.

Everyone was unanimous, and the fleet began to slowly approach the shore, and seeing that it was about to reach the port, Sapphire began to give orders:

"You go to the cabin and rest for a while, and the battle will be over soon."

"Brothers, good fellows, prepare for a landing operation!!"

"Prepare the artillery, once you encounter an obstacle on the shore, fire the cannon immediately, and be sure to open an opening for landing."

As soon as the words fell, the marines on the ship began to get busy, fully armed, reloading ammunition, turning the muzzles, adjusting the angle, and the assault boat was ready to go to sea.

Seeing that the battle was about to begin, Li Jin and Zhu Biao turned around and returned to the cabin.

At this time, they stood on the deck to add chaos to the army, and it was better to return to the cabin honestly and wait for the outcome of the battle.

Soon, after a few heavy cannon shots, the battle officially began.

But the ship's artillery only sounded a few times, and Li Jin saw Lan Yu walking in scolding:

"Damn, I thought these people were so hard, but I didn't expect them to be all a bunch of straw bales, soft eggs!"

"What's going on? Why did the cannon stop? Has the landing operation begun? ”

Li Jin's expression was puzzled, according to the naval drill code, before landing, when encountering enemy resistance, it was necessary to wash the ground with artillery fire to minimize the casualties of the navy.

But now he only heard a few cannon shots.

"After receiving a few shells, the group of rebels dispersed in a hurry, and they did not dare to stop the march of the army on the coast, they were simply a group of wrecks."

Lan Yu's face was full of disdain, and her tone was full of disdain.

Li Jin was also a little speechless, he dared to rob Daming City with such a good look, he really didn't know how to write the dead word!

"The army has seized the landing ferry, let's go out too, and we can directly attack the city later."

The port of Hepu County is not far from the urban area of Hepu County, and the two places are also connected by road, which is very convenient for marching.

Sapphire had thought that she would encounter a bitter battle here in the harbor, but now it seemed that she had thought too highly of these rebels.

The rebels did fortify, but it was nothing but a line of defense that could be broken at the first poke, which could only become a joke.

Li Jin and Zhu Biao began to move, and when several people came to the port, an extreme anger quickly filled Zhu Biao's chest.

I saw that the port area, which was originally very lively and full of flowers, was now dilapidated, with ruins everywhere and the corpses of ordinary people scattered all over the ground.

The corpse, which was not buried, had already flowed out of the corpse water, exuding a putrid smell.

The flies and insects flying around make people feel like their stomachs are tumbling.

After seeing such a tragic situation, Zhu Biao immediately began to lie on the broken wall next to him, retching.

Li Jin and Lan Yu were blushing and looking at all this angrily.

"Let the brothers of the engineer battalion buy all these corpses."

"Wear a cage mouth, take protective measures, and don't get contaminated with the plague."

Li Jin explained carefully, at this time, his face was cold, and there was only one voice in his heart that kept shouting: Blood debt must be paid in blood!

"Order the army to march immediately, and don't give the enemy a chance to escape!"

"Order the whole army, this battle, don't take prisoners!!"

Li Jin's cold tone gave the most cruel order, although he snatched Lan Yu's command, but Lan Yu did not refute, but just asked the herald to go and pass the order.

The order not to take prisoners was only carried out on the Wajima, and the Marines in that war killed people in the wilderness, and killed the sky and the earth in the dark, and killed the Japanese people in fear.

Even though the Japanese had already knelt down and surrendered, the Marines still told them to stand up and take up arms.

The result was self-evident, and all of them were killed by the angry Marines, leaving not a single living mouth.

This time, Li Jin just wanted to give the natives in the southwest a long memory, telling them that those people were the ones they couldn't provoke.

The order was quickly conveyed to the whole army, and everyone silently replaced it with a dummy bullet, which was the bullet that Li Jin had just researched, and this bullet was also called the Grim Reaper bullet.

The dummy bullet doesn't look much different from a normal bullet, except that the bullet head is slightly open.

But just the slightest change has increased the lethality of the bullet by more than ten times.

Because the warhead is open, after hitting the human body, the bullet will explode instantly, pouring a large amount of air into the wound, causing a large area of laceration inside the wound.

In addition, the bullet will also explode immediately after being fired into the human body, and the shrapnel will quickly penetrate deep into the human body, and there is almost no possibility of taking it out.

Therefore, if you are hit by a dummy bullet, there is a mortality rate of more than 90%, and the remaining 10% is amputated immediately, otherwise you will die of infection.

This is the dummy bullet, the bullet from hell.

Li Jin invented this bullet in order to use it in today's scene without leaving any living holes.

After the army was prepared, it immediately marched, and after passing through the flat road, the city wall of Hepu County soon appeared in the field of vision of the Ming army.

At this moment, the toasts in the city had already received the news that the Ming army was calling, and everyone was shocked by this news, they didn't expect the Ming army to march so quickly.

The toasts hurriedly looked for Meng Xiao and Ruan Xiufeng to discuss countermeasures, and at this time, they found that the camp where Meng Xiao was stationed had long been empty.

There was no way, they could only go to find Ruan Xiufeng.

In the end, in the bathhouse of the county government, Ruan Xiufeng was surrounded by everyone and looked confused.

When he heard everyone gossiping about the Ming army coming, Ruan Xiufeng was also taken aback, he felt that he had at least seven days to prepare, but he didn't expect the Ming army to come to the door at this time.

After a short period of panic, after Ruan Xiufeng learned that the Ming army was coming from the sea, he immediately asked people to start organizing a large army and preparing to fight the Ming army.

"Don't panic, everyone!"

"Since the Ming army is coming from the sea, it must be a lone army, and there are not many troops, as long as we can work together, we can defeat the Ming army."

"When the time comes, the imperial court will be shaken, and in order not to expand the war, it will come to us to negotiate peace."

"Let's go and put the army in order now, as long as we can defeat the invading enemy, we can enjoy the looted wealth!"

Ruan Xiufeng drew a big pie for everyone, and these toasters were very calm when they saw that what Ruan Xiufeng said was so reasonable.

Then thinking of the looted property in the past few days, everyone rushed out of the government office with a roar as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and began to gather people and horses, preparing to annihilate the invading Ming army.

When Lan Yu and the others arrived under the city wall of Hepu County, they saw a group of people standing on the city wall, with flags hanging all over the city, and the battle looked extremely huge.

But Li Jin only sneered, and then ordered:

"Slaughter the city!"

The battle was about to break out, Li Jin was not in the mood to talk to these people at all, and now he was furious in his heart, and he just wanted to kill all these beasts in the city.

Zhu Biao saw Li Jin give the order to slaughter the city, and still added on the side:

"Don't hurt the common people, the thieves deserve to die, but the people are innocent."

"Liang Guogong must not kill too much."

Lan Yu nodded, and then gave an order to the heralds beside him, and tens of thousands of Ming troops brazenly launched a strong attack in the face of 300,000 rebels.
