Chapter 278

Zhang Xianzhong naturally knew that Sun Kewang's words were not groundless. The things he committed, he can't just take out a single case that is enough to be Ling Chi, not to mention digging up the Fengyang Emperor's Mausoleum in the Ming Dynasty, just a corrupt official who was exterminated by him, or an inferior gentry and bully, if not eight hundred, but also one thousand.

It can be said that there are more people who hate him for not dying than Gao Yingxiang, the leader of the world's righteous army.

It's not ordinary people who can be the masters, whether he can survive or not, there is only one person who can pardon him, and that is Emperor Chongzhen. Even if Emperor Chongzhen wanted to pardon him, it is estimated that there were a large number of people who wanted to disobey.

However, Zhang Xianzhong did not die in the hands of Sun Kewang, he died in the hands of Cheng Shijie, he could die as he deserved, and he died in the hands of Emperor Chongzhen, which was famous all over the world. Now if Sun Kewang's head is cut off, then he will be too aggrieved.

Zhang Xianzhong looked at Sun Kewang and said with a smile: "Hopefully, teach another good boy for my father!" Be a person and do things, you have to keep a hand! ”

"Keep a hand? Ha ha! ”

Sun Kewang laughed: "It's really funny to keep a hand, Zhang Xianzhong, you killed so many people, which time was not to cut the grass and eradicate the roots?" Have you ever left a hand? ”

Zhang Xianzhong smiled faintly: "Hopefully, you are still young, too young!" ”

Sun Kewang was slightly stunned: "I'm young? ”

Zhang Xianzhong picked up a bag of wine sacs as if no one was around, raised his head and poured it for a while, wiped his mouth and said: "Hopefully, do you know that my father killed and looted all the way from Shaanxi, guess how much silver I got from my father-in-law?" ”

Sun Kewang was slightly stunned: "How much silver does Zhang Xianzhong have?" ”

It's really hard for him to guess about this matter, but it is certain that this amount will not be too small, because every time Zhang Xianzhong robs a large family, he will arrest the men, women and children of the family and torture them until all the family's wealth is dug out.

Some rich people were afraid that they would be killed, so they had to secretly hide their gold and silver treasures in bamboo poles, and then sealed them, disguised themselves as poor people, and carried these bamboo poles out of the city. As a result, a local soldier saw through it, so he went up and whispered to Zhang Xianzhong a few times. When Zhang Xianzhong heard this, he pulled out a big knife and divided the bamboo pole into two, scattering gold, silver and jewelry all over the ground.

That's where rip-offs come from.

When Zhang Xianzhong came out of Guanzhong, they didn't carry much silver with them.

The more than 3.5 million taels of silver that Cheng Shijie seized in Heshun were only stolen from Fengyang, Kelu Prefecture (now Hefei, Anhui), Anqing, Hezhou, Chuzhou and other places.

At this moment, Sun Kewang's eyes widened.

Because the silver and money that Zhang Xianzhong grabbed were not reconciled at all, because in Fengyang alone, Zhang Xianzhong killed all the rich households in Fengyang and robbed their family property, just Sun Kewang led the troops to rob as much as more than 1.6 million taels of silver, he was just one of the soldiers and horses, in fact, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and Li Dingguo five battalions and thirteen people, among which the most robbed was not his Sun Kewang, but Ai Nengqi's department, Ai Nengqi robbed sixty-three rich people from Fengyang, and got a total of 2.8 million taels of silver.

Zhang Xianzhong looked at Sun Kewang and said, "Where did all this silver go?" ”

"Where did you go?"

"Fathers just don't tell you!"

Sun Kewang thought for a while and suddenly realized.

When attacking Macheng, Huang Liu, the general under Zhang Xianzhong, was very strange because of his intention to rebel, Sun Kewang was still very strange at that time, this Huang Liu was good at climbing, and Huang Liu climbed up from the brick cracks along the city wall several times. And this Huang Liu is extremely loyal to Zhang Xianzhong, he is Zhang Xianzhong's fellow villager in Fushi County.

However, Zhang Xianzhong said that Huang Liu betrayed him, Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo did not say a word, and directly led the troops to kill Huang Liu and more than 2,400 people under his command.

Sun Kewang said: "Huang Liu was killed by you!" ”

"Not stupid!"

Zhang Xianzhong smiled faintly: "Hopefully, you have followed me for five years, and in the past five years, there have been not seven or eight generals who have betrayed my father, but more than a dozen, right?" ”

Sun Kewang looked at Zhang Xianzhong speechless for a long time, why didn't he think of this?

Silver is not the same as treasure money, because you are not afraid of damage, dig a big pit at will, or find a pond, sink into the pond, as long as you kill the insider, then you will not know it.

Sun Kewang smiled and said: "Father-in-law, you are also exhausted now, why don't you become a child?" ”

"Take me to see Cheng Shijie!"

Zhang Xianzhong was able to stand out among the princes in the late Ming Dynasty, run rampant in the world, and open the country from the ground, and the most important factor was Zhang Xianzhong's brilliant guerrilla tactics. The history is called "the march of dedication (loyalty), its coming is like the sudden arrival of the wind and rain, and its going is also like the ghost is difficult to know." Therefore, in the past few months, they either galloped north of the Yangtze River or tended to Chuyu and Henan, ravaging the three provinces, causing the officers and soldiers to chase after each other. The handsome man fell into his operation without realizing it! ”

Now Zhang Xianzhong lost to Cheng Shijie, in fact, he is still a little unconvinced, he also wants to meet Cheng Shijie who defeated him, for Zhang Xianzhong, there are not many people in the whole Ming Dynasty who can make you look at it, and Cheng Shijie is one of them.

Sun Kewang's face sank, and he held a horizontal knife against Zhang Xianzhong's neck: "Father-in-law, don't force Kewang not to miss the old love!" ”

"Now there is money, food, and soldiers and horses in this world, these silver are a scourge in your hands, and in the hands of Cheng Shijie, the effect will be great, and the father's silver can allow Cheng Shijie to expand the army of 100,000!"

Zhang Xianzhong is different from Cheng Shijie, he is a rogue and has no base, his reputation is poor, and the silver is of little use in his hands, when he can grab it, he will definitely not spend silver to buy it.

But Cheng Shijie is different, he can't rob it, he can only buy it, and his silver can indeed expand the Ning Navy to hundreds of thousands of horses.

It is absolutely impossible for Cheng Shijie to be indifferent to that money.

"Sneer......"

A line of blood flowed from Zhang Xianzhong's neck.

Zhang Xianzhong smiled coldly: "Yes, work hard, your father's head will fall off, you'd better kill them all, otherwise, as long as the news is revealed, Sun Kewang, don't say you want to be rich, but see if Cheng Shijie can tolerate you as a rebel!" ”

Sun Kewang looked at the old thieves around him, and suddenly his face was ugly, and he compared his heart to his heart, if he heard this secret, he would definitely report it to Cheng Shijie, if Cheng Shijie was unhappy, his future would be over.

"Count you ruthless!"

"Fight with your father, you are still tender!"

Zhang Xianzhong stretched out his hand and wiped a handful of blood on his neck, put it in his mouth, and chattered: "For my father's neck wound, if I bleed to death......

"Someone, treat him!"

Sun Kewang was very unhappy.

……

In Sangong Village, the battle finally ended under the mediation of Sun Xiucai. When Meng En promised the rogues that if they let go of the miners and their families, they would spare them from dying.

As a result, six or seven thousand rogue Kou laid down their weapons to the Ning Navy, and all kinds of weapons in their hands were piled up into a small mountain. These rogues put down their hanging hearts, the artillery of the Ning Navy is too fierce, and against them, Lord Yama is coming, and he may not be able to win.

However, at this time, a "Ah! A thin girl, holding a head, let out a piercing scream.

The fifth girl saw her sister and turned into a head. Die with a grievance or everlasting regret.

Her eyes searched the crowd and found the one who started it, the one-eyed dragon who had captured her sister, who had fallen into the hands of her in order to get her escape.

The five girls screamed, desperately pounced on the one-eyed dragon, the five girls didn't fight, but grabbed the one-eyed dragon with their hands, and grabbed the one-eyed dragon with blood all over her face, and the one-eyed dragon was also anxious, and punched the five girls in the chest, knocking her down.

Just when the one-eyed dragon was about to make a move, a Ning Navy general rushed up with an arrow, kicked it fiercely, and kicked the one-eyed dragon's waist, the one-eyed dragon's body curled up into a ball, its throat rattled, and spewed out streams of blood.

The five girls grabbed a stone and pounced on it, slamming it on the head of the one-eyed dragon, screaming as they smashed: "Stone you, I'll kill you!" ”

After only a few smashes, the one-eyed dragon head was smashed into a blur of flesh and blood, and the five girls were still smashing lifelessly, shouting while smashing: "Smash you, smash you!" ”

The five girls moved, and the surrounding Ning Navy officers were indifferent, and more and more miners screamed to join the battle, and they took shovels, crowbars, hammers, axes and other weapons, and killed these rogues. These miners are strong and strong, and the rogues are now sheep and have been killed by these miners.

"Lord, we have all surrendered!"

"Yes, you surrendered!"

"However, you said that if we surrender, you will not kill us!"

"Yes, we didn't kill you, it was the miners who killed you, not our Ning Navy officers!"

Under the teaching of Cheng Shijie, the officers and men of the Ning Navy are very strong in their thinking, and in the face of a strong enemy, the officers and men of the Ning Navy will be fearless even if they are outnumbered by the enemy.

Of course, in the face of the people, they must also bravely ensure that it is their duty and responsibility as soldiers to protect the people of Limin, but these rogues slaughtered more than 460 people in just over a day in Sangong Village, and almost all the women were ruined, and these beasts and beasts were also fifty or sixty old women.

Even many men did not keep their innocence, so to speak, the entire Sangong Village was wailing. That's why they are extremely angry at these rogues. These bastards, they are wearing this skin in vain, but they aim their knives at the defenseless people, what qualifications does such garbage have to live in the world, they will die early and be born sooner!

As for Cheng Shijie's immigration plan, let's find good people to immigrate again, it's a big deal to deal with it.

Seeing that these miners are like tigers entering the flock, killing the unarmed rogues on their backs, these miners are also red-eyed, the more fierce they are, the more tyrannical they kill, the death of the rogues at this time has become the best relief, many of the rogues have been beaten beyond recognition by the miners, and it is estimated that the stitches cannot be sewn into a complete corpse.

Fortunately, these miners did not lose their minds, they killed all the rogues who were Hoho and their gangsters, and those who did not get started were frightened, squatting on the ground and shivering.

At this time, Monk Peng, who was the head of the mine, finally woke up. With the support of two miners, he came to Meng En's side and kowtowed to Meng En to thank him.

Meng En looked at Monk Peng and said, "Next, what are your plans?" ”

At this time, Monk Peng, Sun Xiucai and others were speechless, and there were mutilated corpses everywhere around, and everyone was silent, feeling both aggrieved and hesitant, as well as fear. They are already homeless.

Originally, Sangongzhai was their foothold, they were mining phosphate ore, and although the life in the mountains was very hard, they could barely get by by tightening their belts. But now that the entire Sangongzhai Mountain has been completely exposed, and they have killed so many rogues, don't think that they will have a better time in the future.

In fact, they had no way to retreat at this time, Zhang Xianzhong's rogue was basically finished, and this great achievement was not the success of the encirclement and suppression of the officers and soldiers of Nanzhili, but the Ning Navy who fought in the guest area.

Although it is said that the Ning Navy eliminated Zhang Xianzhong, the problem is that under the comparison of the Ning Navy, the Nanzhili Command Envoy must make some war exploits to whitewash himself, and how to make war exploits, they all know that they must be stabbed against them.

It is certain that the peasants who really own the land will not be killed by the officials and soldiers, because the government will not agree, and the displaced people, refugees without household registration, are the best targets for them to kill the good.

Ning Haijun can go at any time, but they have no way out. The world is so big, there is no home!

Meng En looked at Monk Peng and said, "If you don't have a place to go, come with me, go to Huangzhou Mansion, our handsome are ready to immigrate......"

Without waiting for Meng En to finish speaking, Monk Peng said excitedly: "Is it for us to immigrate to Liaodong?" ”

"Don't think about it in Liaodong, there is not much land that can be cultivated in Liaodong now, that place is too cold, and crops are often frozen to death, and the yield is seriously reduced!"

Meng En said: "However, you can go to Luzon?" ”

"Luzon? Where is Luzon? ”

The people of today are not like the later generations, the people of the later generations can know what is happening on the other side of the world without leaving home, but the people of the Ming Dynasty are different, many of them have not even been to the county seat hundreds of miles away, let alone Luzon overseas.

Of course, it's not all about not knowing anything, at least Sun Xiu knows.

"Luzon is in the southeast sea, a small country too. Produce gold. Yongle paid tribute for three years. In Jiajing, it starts and comes. It is easy to deal with the people of Zhang and Quan, and the people live in their places, up to tens of thousands. In Wanli, Tong'an people Zhang Wei played a fallacy, the sea has a good mountain, and Fujian is near, real estate gold, can be taken. In the thirty-sixth year, the nobles were sent to investigate. The Luzon people suspected that they were suffering from people and killed them. Seek to be the first to be punished. Trade continues to this day......"

"Luzon is overseas, and now it is the territory of our Ning Navy, where you can be allocated land, you can farm, you can also open mines, anyway, you can't be hungry!"

Sun Xiucai was a smart man, and he heard the taste of demagogy from Meng En's words, but he didn't speak, because he knew that if he ruined Meng En's plan, he could become a dead man at any time.

Sun Xiucai said: "Peng Tou, now that the rogues have been annihilated, the official army will definitely enter the mountain soon, if we stay in Sangong Village, we will definitely be killed as rogues!" ”

Monk Peng gritted his teeth and arched his hand to Meng Enyi and said: "General Meng avenged our old and weak women and children who died tragically under the knife of the Liukou, and rebuilt our kindness, and now he has taken in three thousand of us old and young, great kindness, there is no way to repay it, but in the future, if there is a place for us, just open your mouth!" ”

"Don't say it, hurry up and pack up your things, and then move away, the officers and soldiers will really come over later!" Meng En's thick Liaodong accent made Monk Peng feel at ease, and the current people have a sense of identity with Liaodong and Ning Navy.

Now people who have dealt with Liaodong know that Liaodong people are very polite, honest in business, and fair, there is one is one, and two is two, especially the Ning Navy officers, who are the only army in Daming that will not rob the people, and there is only one in Daming, and there is no other semicolon.

However, when it comes to leaving, of course, it is not possible to leave immediately. After calming down, the miners began to take care of the aftermath of their loved ones, and the whole mining area was in shambles, and the houses that had been built with great difficulty had been burned to the ground, and hundreds of corpses were lying on the ground.

The old people and children wept bitterly around these horrible corpses, and a woman knelt beside a little girl whose head had been shattered, and slapped the ground with her palms like crazy, making her hands bloody, and crying hoarsely, as if her heart was torn apart, and Meng En felt sad for a while.

In the midst of the mournful cry, shallow pits were dug out, and the corpses were wrapped in a roll of tattered straw mats, and then buried, and then filled back into the earth to build a low grave. There will be no tombstones, no sacrifices such as fruits, flower baskets, wreaths, etc., and no one will care about them except these heartbroken relatives, and maybe it won't be long before no one remembers them.

No one cares how many people have died here, there are so many of them that I can't remember them. However, the families of these deceased care. When they buried the dead, they also planted the seeds of hatred in their hearts, and this seed of hatred will break through the soil under the watering of poisonous juice, and a poisonous flower will bear bitter fruit, which will finally be swallowed by the person who single-handedly caused this tragedy.

When Zhang Xianzhong was escorted to Sangong Village by Sun Kewang, the miners and their families in Sangong Village had already buried their relatives, and the corpses of the rogues who were hacked by the miners were also piled together and set on fire. If these thousands of corpses were exposed to the air, it would have been a plague for a long time, and the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Meng En looked at these grief-stricken people, picked up the knife and wanted to cut Zhang Xianzhong.

Sun Kewang stopped Meng En and said, "General Meng, wait, Zhang Xianzhong is still useful!" ”

"What's the use of this bastard?"

Sun Kewang told Meng En about Zhang Xianzhong's treasure in a low voice.

After hearing this, Meng En said indifferently: "Buy your life with silver? It's too beautiful, isn't it? ”

After the aftermath, the still alive Sangongzhai Mine and its family members packed up what little belongings they had, helped the old and the young, and staggered to follow Meng En and others to Huangzhou Mansion.

The dead are gone, and those of them who are still alive must find a way to try to survive, and if they are all dead, who will remember those who died tragically under the butcher's knife of the rogue?

Monk Peng hurriedly sent some agile miners to the surrounding villages, some of them were mining ore for a living, some were working as bandits, and some were struggling to survive by cultivating terraced fields on the hills. In any case, this news must be told to them, otherwise they will not go with peace of mind.

In this way, Meng En, Zhao Wencai, Sun Kewang and others took Zhang Xianzhong, as well as more than 2,000 rogue prisoners, more than 3,000 miners and their families, to the camp in Chibi Mountain in Huangzhou.

Along the way, more and more miners and displaced people also followed Ning Haijun all the way to Huangzhou Mansion.

In fact, it is not too far from Susong to Huangzhou, only more than 300 miles, but the problem is that not all of them are soldiers, most of them are extremely weak refugees, so they do not walk fast.

It took ten days to arrive at the camp in Chibi Mountain.

Originally, Cheng Shijie was going to return to Liaodong with Gao Qiqian, of course, Gao Qiqian also had to sit in Wusongkou to collect cash, but he heard the news of the return of Zhao Wencai and others.

"What did you say that caught Zhang Xianzhong?"

Cheng Shijie was a little incredulous: "Are you sure you are not mistaken? ”

Cheng Shijie couldn't believe that he could catch Zhang Xianzhong. If Zhang Xianzhong is so easy to catch, is it still Zhang Xianzhong?

"Could it be a stand-in?"

Sun Kewang said excitedly: "Dashuai, the last general will not recognize the wrong person, even if I pick the skin of Zhang Xianzhong, I will recognize his bones!" ”

"Okay, don't brag, if you can recognize Zhang Xianzhong's skin, count yourself awesome!"

Sun Kewang said: "Dashuai, do you want to meet Zhang Xianzhong!" ”

"Then it's gone, anyway, he's going to be sent to the capital Lingchi!"

Cheng Shijie knew that in history, Gao Yingxiang, who was an accomplice in the burning of the Fengyang Emperor's Mausoleum, was ambushed by the famous Ming general Sun Chuanting in the Meridian Valley, and was captured, and after being sent to the capital, Emperor Chongzhen directly ordered Gao Yingxiang to be executed directly by Ling Chi in order to take revenge, and Ling Chi's number of knives reached 1560 knives, and his death was extremely miserable.

If Zhang Xianzhong is also sent to the capital, he will definitely not be better off than Gao Yingxiang. Gao Yingxiang is only an accomplice, and Zhang Xianzhong is the main offender.

"Dashuai, what does it mean to be humble, you still meet Zhang Xianzhong!"

Then, Sun Kewang told Zhang Xianzhong about his silver collection.

Cheng Shijie said with a smile: "Zhang Xianzhong lied to you, how can he have any silver, and some of the silver has also been spent by him!" ”

"Dashuai, let's see you!"

Cheng Shijie reluctantly met with Zhang Xianzhong.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong was tied up into zongzi and sent to Cheng Shijie.

Zhang Xianzhong looked at Cheng Shijie, Cheng Shijie was a little different from the image of the wise and martial arts he imagined.

"Get on your knees!"

Zhang Xianzhong stood straight, looked at Cheng Shijie with a rebellious face, and sneered: "Cheng Shijie, if you want to kill, you have to scrape and please, and you can't be humiliated if you want to kill!" ”

"Haha!"

Cheng Shijie smiled: "What kind of fart "Shi" are you! Can a soldier be killed but not humiliated? ”

Zhang Xianzhong said: "Zi said: It is shameful to act, to send envoys to all directions, not to dishonor the king's life, and to be called a scholar." In the clan, he is called filial piety, and he can also be called a scholar in the township party, and his words must be believed, and his deeds must be fruitful, and he can also be called a scholar, although he is not talented, he said that he kills the whole family, and he must cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and he can also be called a scholar! ”
