Under the morning sun, Li Bao stood shirtless on the bow of the boat, and the boat was still very small.

looks like this, not like a general, but more like a water bandit leader.

The whole battlefield was in chaos, countless ships were on a rampage, and the soldiers wanted to capture Tong Guan to receive the reward. There were also many soldiers who did not trust the Ming court, and took the opportunity to drive the boat to the shore and slip away, and disappeared into the mountains.

Due to being blocked by the ships of the rebel army, Li Bao simply led his troops ashore to intercept and absorb those who escaped.

More than 700 Ming soldiers soon collected thousands of defeated soldiers.

Li Bao asked these defeated soldiers to form a team of 100 people, and elected the officers themselves, and the officers were held accountable if the non-commissioned officers made trouble.

However, it was said that Tong Guan was surrounded by the soldiers under his command, and when he was frightened, the general Xin Daozong also turned against the water and scolded: "You eunuch, don't hurry up and tie your hands!" ”

Tong Guan was furious: "It's true that I am one of the six thieves, how much better are you?" Over the years, you brothers have robbed many of your allies for their exploits, and they can't wait to pick up their skins alive. Many people have already taken refuge in Emperor Zhu, and now it's too late for you to turn your back, even if you go to the new dynasty, you won't have to die! ”

Xin Daozong was stunned for a moment when he said this, and then shouted: "It will be a great merit to catch you, but you can't take care of any trouble in the future!" Listen to my orders and rush over to catch Tong Guan! ”

"Archery, archery, whoever dares to come over will shoot him!" Tong Guan's hissing voice was exhausted, and he was already like crazy.

The personal soldiers around him were selected from the Shengjie army.

The pro-soldiers looked at the approaching ships around them, and then exchanged glances with each other, and the leader of the pro-soldiers directly pressed Tong Guan down, and then shouted: "I have arrested Tong Guan, wait for the boat to retreat quickly!" ”

Another soldier rushed into the cabin, but he wanted to capture the puppet emperor and the queen mother.

"Splashing the sky and wealth" is in front of you, how can the soldiers on the surrounding ships want to retreat?

Tong Guan's personal soldiers are usually arrogant and domineering, but at this moment, they actually dare to snatch great achievements, which suddenly makes the other soldiers even more angry.

New and old grudges were avenged together, and they rushed over in a boat, and fought bravely on the side.

Even if those pro-soldiers were so frightened that they threw Tong Guan and fled, many soldiers did not want to let go easily, and rushed over and slashed and stabbed with knives and guns.

"There's treasure on board, go and grab it, I'm not worth much money!" Tong Guan shouted in horror.

A soldier pounced on him, pressed on Tong Guan, and shouted: "Don't come here again, I caught Tong Guan!" ”

Another soldier hugged Tong Guan's right leg: "I also caught it." ”

Several more soldiers stepped forward, grabbed Tong Guan's arms and left leg, and immediately declared his limb ownership.

"Get out of the way!"

The soldiers in the back were anxious and wanted to drag the few soldiers on Tong Guan's body away.

It's like a human version of the corpse of five horses, the soldiers in front are dragging Tong Guan's limbs, and the soldiers in the back are dragging the soldiers in front.

Tong Guan hissed and wailed in pain: "If it's a master, give me a good time, and kill me quickly!" ”

Xin Daozong was desperate to make meritorious service for his crimes, so he slashed down a soldier with a knife and scolded angrily: "Get out of the way of me, don't quarrel again!" ”

Xin Daozong killed two people in a row, which frightened the rest of the soldiers to retreat, and the soldiers quickly reacted - what are you afraid of now?

Immediately, a soldier stood behind Xin Daozong, stabbed a shot without warning, and then shouted: "This guy is also a traitor, and there will be merit for killing him!" ”

The scene became even more chaotic, and the soldiers fought for merit, and even developed to the point of swords and guns.

Tong Guan was lying on the ground, trampled around by the rebels, and couldn't get up at all. Blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, thinking that he had already injured his internal organs, and if he continued like this, he would be trampled to death.

From time to time, a soldier's corpse was also fallen, and he had gone crazy in order to steal merit.

Li Bao asked his subordinates to collect the rebels who had already landed on the shore, and he stood on the shore and observed with binoculars, so that he could see the spectacular scene on the ship clearly.

This guy didn't have the idea of stopping it at all, and gloated: "Tong Guan is a dog thief who is lucky, and he has the treatment of the overlord of Chu back then." ”

Due to the fierce grabbing, a little clever ghost took advantage of the gap and slashed at Tong Guan's arm with a knife.

One knife didn't cut off the arm, so he quickly made up two more knives, and then picked up the broken arm and jumped into the river.

"Ah...... Kill me, kill me, give us a good time! ”

Tong Guan was so painful that he was crying, but he couldn't faint directly.

Someone made a demonstration, and immediately some people followed suit, waving knives at Tong Guan one after another. In the blink of an eye, Tong Guan was cut into a stick, and finally fell into a coma in pain, and finally even his head was cut off by the rebels.

After these soldiers finished dividing Tong Guan's body, they ran to divide Xin Daozong's body.

After dismembering all the corpses, they fell into a scuffle again, and the soldiers who were so frightened that they had the "goods" in their hands hurriedly jumped into the river and fled.

"Little Emperor!"

Finally, someone remembered that there was a puppet emperor in the cabin, so they ran to search the cabin, and soon fought with Tong Guan's personal soldiers hiding in the cabin.

Xie Ruyi, Mao Kui and other Fujian officials were escorted by soldiers one after another and came to Li Bao's side. They fooled the soldiers, saying that they would have merit in sending themselves ashore, but they were very proficient in the way of saving their lives.

"The criminal minister xxx knocks on the general!"

A bunch of officials knelt down directly, and now they are only begging for their lives, and they don't care about any decency.

Before these people could stand up, a soldier swam ashore, holding half of his arm in his arms, and rushed towards Li Bao's side frantically.

After being stopped by Li Bao's own soldiers, the soldier knelt on the ground, raised his arms and shouted: "General, this is the traitor Tong Guan." I only grabbed a section, I don't dare to ask for a big credit, please give the general a small credit! ”

The civilian officials turned pale with fright and hid behind Li Bao one after another, for fear that there would also be soldiers to divide their corpses.

The chaos lasted for nearly an hour, and the battlefield finally quieted down, and Li Bao asked the civilian officials to take the troops to clean up the spoils.

Not only were the puppet emperor and the empress dowager captured, but there were also many treasures that Tong Guan had stolen from the maritime merchants.

One of them, a three-foot-tall red coral, saw Li Bao's eyes were hot, and he smacked his lips and said to himself: "Take this treasure back and give it to the prince, and I can fool the mistake of sending troops privately." ”

"Dangdangdang~~~"

At this moment, the soldiers on the hill sounded a gong to warn, and Li Bao hurriedly went over to ask what the situation was.

The sentry also ran madly down the hill, panting and saying, "There are a few boats ahead, and there are quite a few soldiers standing on board!" ”

"Fight the enemy!"

More than 700 Kuizhou soldiers brought by Li Bao quickly formed a defensive formation on the shore.

The captives who had not yet been recruited were also ordered to board the ships, and many ships blocked the Min River to prevent the enemy from rushing over.

But seeing a few boats coming upstream, they landed in advance and stood stupidly, and a general ran alone and knelt down: "Mingzhou Defense Envoy Shen Ge, knock on Your Excellency General Ming!" ”

"Mingzhou? Are you Zhedong soldiers? Li Bao frowned.

The general, Shen Ge, said: "At the beginning of the year, we went to Fujian with Tong Guan to suppress thieves. Because of the clutter to return to his hometown, Tong Guan no longer trusts us. There are also many brothers, who were left in Tingzhou and Jianning by Tong Guan. A few days ago, we went to Jianzhou with Xin Xingzong to suppress thieves, but we were blocked by Nanjianzhou City halfway, and Xin Xingzong ordered the withdrawal of troops back to Fuzhou. ”

Li Bao asked, "What about Xin Xingzong?" ”

Shen Ge replied: "Last night, he led his troops to land and camp in Baisha Town, and he also sacked Baisha Town. Two boats were killed by the general and fled, and they met Xin Xingzong in Baisha Town, and Xin Xingzong ran away with Shengjie's army, and all of us Jiangsu and Zhejiang soldiers were left behind by him. ”

Shen Ge was actually very weak-hearted, because of the sacking of Minqing County and Baisha Town, they, the Zhejiang soldiers, also participated in the whole process.

One counts as one, and both hands are covered in blood.

It's just that everyone is looking forward to returning to Zhejiang, and they are blocked by Jianzhou and Nanjianzhou, so they can only take the risk to come and surrender to Li Bao.

Li Bao inquired carefully about the situation again, and Xie Ruyi said loudly: "If someone in Nanjian Prefecture stops him, Xin Xingzong can only flee to Youxi. Then go over the mountains and mountains, collect ships in the Qingyang Iron Yard, go straight down the Xixi River to Quanzhou, and when you arrive in Quanzhou, you can escape to Guangzhou by sea boat. ”

"What states and counties are along the way, and what is the specific terrain?" Li Bao asked.

Xie Ruyi said: "All of them are continuous mountains, and they will pass through Minqing, Youxi, and Qingxi (Anxi) counties along the way. The general had better not chase it, Xin Xingzong would just find a place to get off the boat, and if he got into the mountains, he had to send a large army to search the mountains. In the next suggestion, not to force him into the mountains, the general can take a sea boat to Quanzhou in advance, and wait for Xin Xingzong to lead his troops to throw himself into the net. ”

Li Bao asked, "Can he only flee to Quanzhou?" ”

Xie Ruyi said: "Fujian is full of mountains, and there are only a few roads that are easy to walk. Xin Xingzong could not go to Quanzhou, but the march was extremely difficult, and it was likely that the victorious army would mutiny. In order to appease the soldiers and escape as soon as possible, Xin Xingzong would most likely run to Quanzhou. ”

Li Bao felt that Xie Ruyi was a talent, and asked, "What's your name?" ”

Xie Ruyi replied: "Under Xie Ruyi, he was originally sentenced to Jianzhou, and was promoted to Fujian for his meritorious service in suppressing thieves. ”

"You've also led troops into battle?" Li Bao said with a smile.

Xie Ruyi said: "It's just to exterminate a gang of bandits in Jianzhou, and I don't dare to get an axe in front of the general." ”

Li Bao said: "Fuzhou is temporarily handed over to you to be in charge, you will be in charge of civil affairs, and Yang Yingcheng will be in charge of the surrender of troops, waiting for the imperial court to send someone to receive it." ”

Zhao Wei also wanted to show it: "There are Fan thieves in Jianzhou, and the Taishou of Nanjian Prefecture also supports the army and autonomy, and the general can write to these two states to ask them to immediately submit to my Ming Dynasty to prevent the chaos from continuing to expand." The two Zhejiang soldiers of Tingzhou and Jianning can let this general Shen Ge persuade him to surrender, promising to return to his hometown if he returns to the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Very good, you are also a talent, and you can offer any other strategy." Li Bao did not know much about the situation in Fujian, and was eager to rely on local officials to do things.

Cao Zai took the opportunity to say: "Zhangzhou Taishou is in the same year as Xia, and Xia can write a letter to persuade him to surrender." ”

Mao Kui also said: "There is a Zhongliao gold field in Shanghang, and we must guard against the looting of the treasury by the two Zhejiang soldiers, and we must also guard against the officials there filling their pockets, and the general can send hundreds of elites to receive it." ”

Cao Zai was opened up and said: "Nanjian Prefecture has Longmen Silver Field, Meiying Silver Field, Longquan Silver Field, Shicheng Silver Field, Dayan Silver Field, and Shipai Silver Field, you have to let the Governor of Nanjian Prefecture keep an eye on it, and it is easy to be smuggled up a large amount of silver at this time!" ”

"So many silver fields?" Li Bao was surprised.

In order to curry favor with the new dynasty, these officials racked their brains to give Li Bao ideas, and they were not so active in being officials in the Great Song Dynasty.
