A trace of sadness flashed in Qian Yong's eyes, and he said: "Okay, then we will fight to the death to kill Li Huan."
Qian Li met and said: "Second brother, are you worried that once we lead people to besiege Li Huan, there will be no way back?"
Qian Yong smiled bitterly and said: "Second brother, although I am a little reckless, I am not a fool. In the current situation, if our families surround Li Huan, the court will definitely not let me go."
Qian Li nodded slightly and said with a sneer: "So I have already discussed it with several others. This time we will go all out to kill Li Huan, then rob the prison, rescue all the adults, and flee directly overseas for the future!"
"
Qian Yong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he slapped Qian Li on the shoulder with his big palm fan-like hand and said excitedly: "Okay, okay, this is a good idea. It can kill Li Huan and save people at the same time, and we still have
Way out. Tsk tsk, with our strength, we are not as carefree as we are at sea."
There was a bit of madness in Qian Li's eyes and he said: "Kill Li Huan, rob the prison, and take a boat directly to the sea. The sky is high enough for birds to fly, and the sea is wide enough for fish to leap. At that time, what can the court do to me?
!”
The sky is getting darker and night is about to fall.
At this time, even on the long street, there were many fewer people. At this time, some people who were rushing home suddenly discovered that groups of people suddenly appeared on the street. These people looked like those wealthy families.
The servants and thugs that the family keeps on a daily basis.
Like Fuzhou City, because it is adjacent to the sea, I dare not say that all families, almost 90% of the families have their own ships, and they are more or less engaged in maritime trade.
Trade at sea is not as good as on land. On land, there is still government suppression. At least there is order, and you don't have to worry about your goods suddenly being snatched away by robbers.
But it's different at sea. There are many pirates and Japanese pirates who specialize in plundering merchant ships. It can be said that any family that can be involved in maritime trade has more or less its own guards.
For example, the Qian family, the He family, and the Zhao family all have dozens or hundreds of servants and servants who dare to fight and fight. These people are nominally servants of their families, but once they go to sea, their identities change.
That is the escort of merchant ships, and sometimes they even play the role of pirates.
Families with slightly weaker strength can also pull out a team of nearly a hundred people, and even stronger families, such as the Qian family and the He family, can directly gather a team of nearly two hundred people.
According to the time agreed upon in advance, of the nearly twenty companies that were originally contacted, only about half of them finally made up their minds to fight. However, when these people gathered together, there were more than a thousand people in the dark place.
Qian Yong was followed by the servants raised by the Qian family. Even among so many people, his burly figure was a very eye-catching presence.
Especially Qian Yong was now wearing armor, and even beside Qian Yong, there were dozens of elite servants wearing cotton armor, all exuding a fierce aura, which only made many people watch in amazement.
Although these families can be considered lawless in their daily lives, and even hiding weapons privately is normal, they really don't dare to hold large quantities of things that the court is strict about, such as crossbows and armor.
The condom is already pretty good.
Who would have thought that the Qian family would be so ruthless and take out dozens of cotton armors at once. Not to mention other things, these dozens of cotton armors alone are enough to convict the Qian family of treason.
However, it can be seen from this that the Qian family is really ready to go all out and take out everything the family has packed in the bottom of the box.
Anyway, this is a do-or-die affair. When the family is destroyed, what use will those hidden contrabands have?
Although the other families are far behind the Qian family, they are able to gain a foothold in Fuzhou Prefecture and most of them are involved in maritime trade. Naturally, it is not easy.
Just like the He family, as an important figure in Cai Wen's family, the He family actually has a pure fire gun team of dozens of people.
Fire guns are not a rare thing among the Ming army, and their power is quite good. However, for these people, they often prefer to fight with blades, so among various families, only those who really use fire guns
Not much.
Qian Yong was wearing armor and holding a big sword in his hand. He was full of evil spirits and walked at the front. Behind him, there was a thick darkness, with thousands of people, which actually blocked the long street.
As for the pedestrians on the long street, they were frightened when they saw this scene from a distance, and turned around and ran away.
Anyone with a bit of brain would be able to guess that it would not be a good thing if they saw so many ferocious-looking people holding weapons.
In this situation, even if the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are coming, the common people will die without a burial if they are not careful, let alone such a messy group of thugs who look like bandits.
As a group of people poured through the long street like a torrent, the ground was in chaos, and you could even see the corpses of some people who couldn't escape and were hacked to death by these vicious servants.
For most of these murderers who have seen blood and killed people, killing is not scary to them. On the contrary, because they are stained with blood, they release the animal nature in their hearts.
If these people had not known that their purpose was to besiege the government office and kill Li Huan, I am afraid that by now some people would have been unable to bear the ferocity in their hearts and rushed into people's homes, burning, killing and looting.
Prefect's Yamen
With a look of panic on his face, a Jin Yiwei rushed over and bowed down to Li Huan who was sitting there: "Sir, here they come...those people are here!"
Hearing this, Li Huan couldn't help but a flash of light flashed in his eyes. He stood up suddenly and laughed loudly: "Well, it seems that they are not all timid people who are afraid of death. Otherwise, wouldn't Li's work be in vain?"
Dong Huan, who was sitting aside, had some sympathy for those people. It was not good to find anyone as an opponent, but he chose to choose a murderer like Li Huan as his opponent.
If it were other officials, no matter how brave they were, they would not dare to set up such a big plan and wait for the other party to actively gather people to kill him.
But Li Huan just did it.
Li Huan glanced at Dong Huan and said: "Commander Dong, would you like to accompany Li to meet these people for a while!"
Dong Huan saluted Li Huan and said, "I would like to go with you, sir."
At this time, the government office had also gathered a large number of soldiers from the guard station. In addition, there were the Jinyi guards mobilized by Li Huan and the elite soldiers of the Four Guards Camps of Tengxiang, totaling almost more than 200 people.
Compared with the soldiers of the guards, these Jinyi guards and the elite soldiers of the Tengxiang Fourth Guard Camp are obviously superior in terms of energy and spirit.
When Li Huan and Dong Huan walked out of the government office, several households from the guardhouse hurriedly came forward to greet them.
When one of them saw Li Huan, a trace of relief and joy flashed in his eyes.
Li Huan hurriedly supported the other party when he was saluting and said: "Uncle, you broke my heart!"
It turned out that this person was none other than Li Huan's uncle Feng Yong'an. This time Dong Huan recruited soldiers and horses of the guard station, and the Feng family inherited the guard station from hundreds of families. This generation has obviously been passed down to Feng Yong'an.
Feng Yong'an looked at Li Huan, smiled happily and said: "If your father is alive in heaven, he will be able to smile after seeing your current achievements, Brother Huan."
The rest of the people naturally knew about the relationship between Feng Yongan and Li Huan, and everyone looked at Feng Yongan with envy.
All fools know that as long as Li Huan does not die in the middle of the journey, with Li Huan's current power and as Li Huan's biological uncle, Feng Yongan's future is unlimited.
Dong Huan smiled and said: "Sir, after we have eliminated all the rebels, we will have time to reminisce about the past. For now, the most important thing is to deal with the enemy."
Upon hearing this, Feng Yong'an raised his hands to Dong Huan, and then turned to Li Huan with a serious look on his face and said, "Sir, my subordinates will do their best to wipe out the rebels."
When the other generals of the guard saw this, they all bowed to Li Huan.
Li Huan stretched out his hand to help everyone up and said: "Everyone, Li will be here today to annihilate the rebels with everyone. When the time comes, you will be promoted to officials and nobles, and you will be indispensable."
Li Huan directly came up with the big trick of appointing officials and making wishes. For these people, no matter how nice the words are, they are not as tempting as being promoted to officials.
As expected, when Li Huan said this, many people's eyes immediately lit up. If people like them didn't have any opportunities, they might be like this in their lives.
It's just that opportunities are not opportunities if they can be encountered casually. Opportunities like this are rare. As long as we can help Li Huan suppress those who want to rebel in the city today, isn't this a job?
Any chance of becoming a knight?
If these people didn't have much motivation before, then after Li Huan made a wish, these people were like chicken blood, and they were gearing up one by one, ready to show off their skills in front of Li Huan, the imperial envoy.
In terms of relationship, they are not as good as Feng Yong'an, Li Huan's biological uncle, but they have confidence in the personal soldiers brought by his subordinates.
Although the various local guards in the Ming Dynasty were in dire straits, that refers to the soldiers on the surface of the guards. The real elites were captured by thousands or hundreds of households in these guards.
In particular, most of the hundreds of households in these guard houses are stationed in coastal areas, but they often have to deal with pirates and even Japanese pirates at sea. If they don't have any manpower, they may be wiped out by a wave of pirates at any time.
For those pirates on the sea who are killing people and are elusive, they don't care whether you are an official of the imperial court. They will kill you if you are killed. Anyway, don't expect that the imperial court will mobilize a large number of troops to go to the sea because of you, a small household with hundreds of households.
Help you take revenge.
Dong Huan looked at his subordinates who were all in high spirits and seemed to be boosting their morale, and his somewhat nervous heart felt relieved.
Although he said he had been prepared, it would be a lie if Dong Huan was not worried at all when he knew that there were thousands of invading enemies.
If something unexpected happened, the commander would be the first to be unlucky.
Although the distance was a bit far away, he could already hear the sounds of killing in the distance. The sounds were getting closer and closer, and soon Li Huan could clearly see a group of people wearing various clothes and holding cold lights in their hands.
The people with shining weapons came straight towards the government office with shouts from their mouths.
"coming!"
With just one glance, Li Huan was able to see the reality of these people. He had to say that these were indeed the elites put together by various families. At first glance, they all looked young and strong, especially the evil aura that could not be concealed.
Everyone has seen blood, and it is not comparable to ordinary young and strong people.
If we were to fight alone, to be honest, Li Huan really didn't think highly of the guardsmen brought by Dong Huan. Although most of these guardsmen were elites, when it came to the level of ferocity, they couldn't compare to their opponents.
those people.
However, the soldiers and horses of the guard station are the soldiers and horses of the imperial court after all. No matter how corrupt they are, the thousands of carefully selected people can still form a formation standing there, especially most of them are wearing cotton armor, and the rest are also wearing uniform clothes.
, just like this is already surpassing those on the opposite side.
Dong Huan had already put on a suit of armor at this time, holding a long spear in his hand, and said to Li Huan solemnly: "My lord, my subordinates are about to form a formation to meet the enemy. Please..."
Li Huan smiled slightly and said: "Lord Dong, just let him go and do whatever he wants. Li will just take the royal guards and plunder the formation from the side."
Knowing that Li Huan's strength was unpredictable and that he was protected by so many royal guards, Dong Huan was not worried about Li Huan's safety. Hearing this, he bowed his hand to Li Huan and said, "The last general takes orders."
Qian Yong rushed to the front with his servants. When he saw Dong Huan leading the guard troops in formation, he couldn't help but shrink his eyes, waved his hands suddenly and shouted: "Stop!"
Immediately, the servants following Qian Yong stopped, but those who stopped were the servants of the Qian family. As for the other families, they subconsciously continued to rush forward, directly bumping into many people who had stopped.
Pour a slice.
The originally Wuyang Wuyang area was filled with loud shouts of killing. At first glance, it was really scary. Many guardsmen couldn't help but clenched their weapons and swallowed subconsciously when they saw it.
But when they saw that these people actually knocked down one of their own, many people couldn't help but burst into laughter, and their original nervousness suddenly relaxed.
They are all veterans in the guardhouse. It can be seen from the performance of these people that these people look very scary. However, they do not even have a basic marching formation. They are a complete mess. They are simply a group of mobs.
ah.
When Dong Huan saw this situation, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. It was in vain that he was still worried before. Now he saw that even the carefully selected elites from the tens of thousands of troops gathered in the entire guard station could not crush these.
If he was a thief, he might as well find a piece of tofu and hit him to death.
Although he was facing a large army of the imperial court, Qian Yong looked back at the crowd of black men and horses, and felt confident in his heart. They were outnumbered, and even outnumbered the imperial army by a lot. They might not be able to kill them this time.
Li Huan.
Although they vaguely knew that no matter what the outcome was this time, if they made such a big fuss, the court would definitely not let them go, but as long as they could kill Li Huan and rescue a group of imprisoned officials, they would all flee to the sea.
, it’s not a way to survive, right?
With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Qian Yong shouted at Li Huan: "Li Huan, you traitor, you have framed the court's loyalty and forced the people to rebel. Today Qian will take your head."
As he spoke, Qian Yong waved the big knife in his hand and laughed loudly: "Little thief, how dare you fight with your Grandpa Qian."
Li Huan glanced at Qian Yong indifferently. Huang Wenzheng, who was covered in cold sweat on his forehead, whispered to Li Huan: "Sir, this is Qian Yong, the second master of the Qian family. He is the most brave. It is said that he once wielded a big sword on the sea.
Killed more than a dozen notorious pirates in a row."
Li Huan chuckled softly when he heard this and said, "So I still have some courage, but it's a pity that I don't have enough brains."
Li Huan stretched out his hand, and a military captain standing behind him quickly handed a treasured bow to Li Huan. He bent the bow and nocked an arrow, and the next moment he heard a hissing sound.
Qian Yong, who was still shouting, saw Li Huan bending his bow and setting an arrow, and his heart felt alarmed. He almost instinctively swung his sword and slashed at the incoming arrow.
It's not that Qian Yong didn't want to dodge, it was because Li Huan's attack came so quickly that he didn't have time to dodge. If he hadn't been strong enough, he might not have been able to make a move with this sword.
Hearing the sound of gold and iron exploding, Qian Yong felt a hint of pain in his hands, and the strong force from the arrow almost caused the sword in his hand to fly away.
"What a terrifying power!"
Qian Yong, who had always boasted of his infinite power, couldn't help but be shocked by the power of Li Huan's arrow, but before he could take a breath, another arrow shot through the air.
"Again!"
Qian Yong's expression changed drastically, and he grabbed a servant next to him and blocked him in front of him.
With a puff, a shrill scream came from the servant's mouth, and a bloody hole exploded directly on the servant's chest. Qian Yong froze and looked down at his heart.
A dark arrow with a cold light was inserted into his heart.
"how come……"
With an expression of disbelief still remaining on his face, Qian Yong swayed and fell to the ground together with the servant.
Qian Yong shouted at Li Huan before, but Li Huan didn't answer, which made many thieves morale rise. Many people even knew about the bravery of Qian Yong, the second master of the Qian family, and they just waved their weapons and watched the fun.
Whistling and cheering loudly for Qian Yong.
In just the blink of an eye, Qian Yong was shot dead on the spot by Li Huan. The thieves who had been applauding immediately seemed to have their necks strangled, and they looked at Qian Yong stupidly with their eyes wide open as he fell in a pool of blood.
When Dong Huan saw this scene, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately shouted: "Soldiers, follow me to kill the thieves!"
Hundreds of gunmen at the forefront opened fire immediately, and suddenly there was a loud explosion, smoke filled the air, and a burst of screams could be heard from the opposite side.
The thieves who were temporarily distracted because of Qian Yong's death were hit by fire cannons as soon as they reacted, and dozens of them fell down.
Dong Huan jumped out and shouted: "Kill!"
The two sides immediately fought in one place. The front of the government office was originally very spacious, but with nearly 3,000 people from both sides fighting in one place, it suddenly became extremely crowded.
Standing there, Li Huan could clearly see that the soldiers of the guard station were basically able to maintain their formation during the charge. Perhaps their individual strength was not as good as those of the thieves, but when it came to killing efficiency, it was really not comparable to those thieves who only relied on their personal bravery.
Often three or five of the thieves fell, while only one or two of the guardsmen fell. Blood splattered, broken arms and limbs flew around, and the scene was extremely bloody.
Although He Huai, Qian Li and other people in charge of each family were hiding behind, they could still clearly see the fight between the two sides.
At this moment, they were watching helplessly as so many of them were being crushed and killed by the guards' troops, and everyone had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Why were they numerous and brave, but they were suppressed and beaten by the guards? Shouldn't they be able to disperse the guards with a single charge, and then successfully capture Li Huan and kill him with a thousand swords?
Died to pieces?
He Huai's eyes were blank and he murmured: "How could this happen...how could this happen!"
Seeing the thousands of thieves being forced back bit by bit by the guards, Li Huan smiled at Chen Yao, Meng Hui, and Du Guang who were eager to try, "Although these people are just a bunch of rabble, we can do it sooner."
It’s better to end it as soon as possible. You bring people with you, flank them, cut off their escape route, and be sure to keep all these thieves behind.”
Several people immediately took the Jin Yiwei who had been unable to restrain themselves for a long time and quietly went back to the rear of the thieves, blocking the thieves' escape route.
"kill!"
Along with Chen Yao, Meng Hui, Du Guang and others' shouts of killing, nearly two hundred Jinyi guards crashed directly into the rear of the thieves.
Qian Li, He Huai and other people in charge of each family were originally at the back. They just saw that the momentum was not good. Several people gathered together and were discussing whether to give up the siege and kill Li Huan and lead the people to rush out of the city and escape first.
Go to the sea.
After the previous passion had passed, all that was left in these people's hearts was endless fear, especially when they saw so many people being killed with their own eyes. It is understandable that such a scene would have a huge impact on these normally aloof beings.
.
But before they could make up their mind, they heard the sound of killing from behind. When they turned around, everyone couldn't help but look desperate.
These people were full of confidence when they came, thinking that with so many of them, it would not be easy to kill Li Huan. They did not consider the issue of retreat at all, so they focused all their attention on the front, so that they had no idea about their retreat.
There wasn't even a follower, so Chen Yao and others easily blocked the retreat.
The level of relaxation was so incredible that even Chen Yao and Du Guang felt that these people were so alert that they didn't look like they were here to kill people, but more like they were willing to die.
Qian Li shouted: "Escape!"
Immediately, Qian Li turned around and ran away, squeezing directly into the crowd and losing sight of him in the blink of an eye.
Under the crushing force of the guardsmen, the courage these thieves had summoned at the beginning had disappeared. They were already on the verge of collapse. At this moment, the sound of killing suddenly came from behind, and all the thieves suddenly panicked.
Especially Qian Li's shout, although only some people nearby heard it, but in this case, even if only one person escapes, it may quickly infect everyone.
"Woo, don't kill me, don't kill me..."
"Get out of my way and block Grandpa's path. I'll kill you too..."
