In fact, there are many things in this world. Before ‘it’ has time to happen, the outcome is already doomed!
For example, you haven't watched a certain football match, but you can already guess the ending. Another example is that some people have already had a silver spoon in their mouths when they were still micro-cell molecules!
Accompanied by the sound of "bang~bang~bang~", the thieves armed with swords, guns and sticks were like wheat stalks harvested by sickles, falling piece by piece into the cold pool of blood.
Chen Luosheng, the second-in-command who had experienced hundreds of battles and was "excellent in martial arts," staggered to his knees after being punched with seven or eight bloody holes in his chest by a cannon, and no longer had any chance of life.
.
Yu Dabao, who was standing on the hillside behind the army formation, could not help but open his mouth wide and his eyes almost fell to the ground!
This, are these fucking officers and soldiers? This, this, how can these blunderbuss be so powerful?
Yu Dabao racked his brains, but he never would have thought that the number one general under Nine Lives Old Cat, the 'ace thug' Chen Luosheng, could not hold out for even one round and became the target of those cannibals.
!His petty thoughts of trying to use thieves to wear down Liu Ruyi's spirit were wiped out by the bloody reality in the blink of an eye!
Liu Ruyi had already expected this outcome, but in Liu Ruyi's opinion, the power of these cannons was far from satisfactory.
During the shooting just now, the barrels of at least two cannon soldiers exploded, killing one and injuring the other! Although this probability is very small, and it was because these two cannon soldiers were too nervous when they were in battle for the first time.
The lead bullet in the tube was not pressed tightly, and he hurriedly lit the match, which led to the tragedy!
Liu Ruyi smiled bitterly and shook her head, "The road is long and long!" If these precious gun soldiers are to truly grow up, it may not be possible in a day or two!
In the bandit camp, with the death of the second leader Chen Luosheng, there was an instant collapse. Hundreds of officers and soldiers with spears and swords and shields rushed in from both sides, and soon killed the bandits to a rout.
.Many bandit leaders who have been doing evil in Nanshan for many years and have gained notoriety have also become the military exploits of Liu Ruyi's soldiers in the chaos!
From the beginning to the end, it only took less than half an hour for the officers and soldiers to break into the bandit camp and completely control the situation!
At this time, the old cat with nine lives and a few followers, naked to the waist and carrying thorn sticks on his back, knelt down in front of Liu Ruyi, kowtowed respectfully for more than a dozen times, and then said: "Sinner Tao Chenjiu"
, meet Mr. Liu!"
Looking at the leader of thieves who had been "powerful in Nanshan" for several years, Liu Ruyi couldn't help but feel a little emotional, "This person is really a person. After years of hard work, he actually gave it away without any hesitation. Just because of this
His broad-mindedness and his decision-making in times of crisis are enough to impress people!'
However, although he has some admiration for the Nine-Life Old Cat himself, Liu Ruyi is an officer and the winner of this game after all, so his airs are definitely indispensable!
After pondering for a moment and looking at it carefully for a while, Liu Ruyi smiled and reached out to help the nine-lived old cat up, and said with a smile: "Why do you have to be so polite, the master? Since you are devoted to the imperial court and are willing to know your way back, Liu, as the imperial court
Mingguan, I have been deeply favored by the emperor, and I should be the guide for the great master! Besides, we can be considered acquaintances, so why should the great master be so aloof?"
After Liu Ruyi finished speaking, he gave the Nine Lives Old Cat a meaningful look.
The old cat with nine lives couldn't help but smile bitterly. How could he not understand what Liu Ruyi meant? If he had surrendered to Liu Ruyi according to his inner wish, this would be the worst choice. However, at this point, he
He has lost control of the situation and cut off his arm, but he was able to save his life. This business is already a huge profit!
"Master Liu, you are joking! Tao has always heard of Master Liu's name and has long wanted to be his disciple. Now that he has received this opportunity, his wish has come true. Tao's lifelong wish has been fulfilled! It's just, it's just that Liu is still invited.
Your Excellency, seeing that Tao has done his best and is loyal to the court and Mr. Liu, leave a way for Tao and his brothers to survive!" The old cat with nine lives is about in his early forties, and he is probably older than Liu Ruyi.
Halfway through, but at this time, he knelt down respectfully in front of Liu Ruyi, like a primary school student who had made a mistake, without any discomfort at all in the change of roles!
Liu Ruyi nodded, "The head of the house is a man of understanding! The general trend of the times is overwhelming. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish! As long as the head of the house has this heart, I, Liu, will give you an explanation!"
"
…………
In the afternoon, the matter was settled. Seeing that Yu Dabao had not added anything, he informed Liu Ruyi and left dejectedly!
On Erzhi Mountain, in the main village of Jiu Ming Lao Mao, Liu Ruyi and Jiu Ming Lao Mao were 'bargaining'!
Although the Nine-Life Old Cat currently only has 200 close followers, according to his prestige in Nanshan and the achievements he made this time, it is not an exaggeration to be granted a thousand households. This is actually the reason why the Nine-Life Old Cat
The bottom line in my heart! He was originally a child of a military family. If it hadn't been for some misfortune and fate, he would not have embarked on this path. However, he did not expect that many years later, after sparing such a large circle, he would actually
It’s back to the dots back then.
"Mr. Liu, let's not talk secretly. Although Tao has no one at the moment, as long as Tao raises his arms and summons thousands more people, it will definitely not be difficult! This is only for a hundred households.
, Is it too, too, too bullying?" The old cat with nine lives seemed to be begging, but there was still a bit of arrogance in his words, and even a hint of threat!
"Hahaha~~~!" Liu Ruyi couldn't help laughing loudly. People are so mean sometimes. He won't give up until he sees the Yellow River and doesn't shed tears, and doesn't see his own coffin!
"Brother Tao, do you think you still have bargaining power at the moment? Although the Qianhu official is not a big one, can you hold up to this hat?" Although Liu Ruyi's words were intimate, his eyes were serious.
Stared into his eyes coldly!
In fact, Liu Ruyi didn't care too much about what official position the nine-lived old cat could get. After all, he was the one who surrendered, not the generals, deputy generals, etc. His official position couldn't exceed his own, right? And the most important thing was
One thing is that this person has great influence in Nanshan. Liu Ruyi still has some uses, so she doesn’t want him to be so easy!
In fact, this is easy to understand. Will you cherish something that is easily obtained? Especially a person like the Nine-Life Old Cat who has experienced many hardships and has a deep mind!
"Sir Liu, Mr. Tao, Mr. Tao is willing to donate 80% of his family property to you, and I just ask you to grant it! That's good, or let Tao have a chance to honor his ancestors!" The old cat with nine lives knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately.
His father was originally a poor military household, and he was the only son. Therefore, he had the opportunity to study and understand reason. Don't underestimate the difference between a hundred households and a thousand households. It seems that there is only one level difference, but in the Ming Dynasty
Thousands of people, many of them, may not be able to cross this hurdle in their lifetime!
Just like the delinquent women in later generations, since they are no longer shameless and just sell their bodies, then everything is fake. Only if they have a good price, then they are real!
The old cat with nine lives said it very sincerely, with tears flashing from the corners of his eyes. He just wanted to lick the soles of Liu Ruyi's shoes!
Liu Ruyi nodded slowly, but there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth. It was almost time!
He stretched out his hand to help the nine-lived old cat up and said with a smile: "I can feel Brother Tao's sincerity, and I am willing to accept Brother Tao's gift. I can make a decision now on the matter of thousands of households, but it still needs some time!"
"Thank you, Lord Liu, thank you, Lord Liu! I am willing to serve as a pawn in front of you. As long as you speak, there will be mountains of swords, seas of fire, cliffs and pans of oil. Tao will never be wrong without frowning!" The old cat with nine lives was ecstatic in an instant and kowtowed desperately.
Liu Ruyi smiled and waved her hand, "Brother Tao, don't be too happy. Liu has something to do, and it's up to you, Brother Tao, to handle it smoothly and smoothly!"
…………
The white horse passes by, time is like water, in the blink of an eye, a few months have passed, and the autumn of the eleventh year of Chongzhen has arrived!
During these days, Liu Ruyi still didn't leave the gate, didn't step forward at the second gate, and was working hard to train the three thousand soldiers in the town!
The old cat with nine lives bowed his head. Most of the bandit troubles in Nanshan have been eliminated. Even some unscrupulous little bandits have mostly tucked their tails between their legs and are hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, not daring to show their faces!
Zhang Guangqi is right, the people's support is the foundation on which we can stand!
After the Battle of Erzhi Mountain, a large number of military households and civilian households in Xiying Town came over the mountains and ridges to join Liu Ruyi's rule. Yu Dabao did not stop him even if he wanted to, but just when he wanted to
When they attacked these common people, they were met with a fierce sniper attack by the Caishi Town officers and soldiers! Although no one was killed in the incident, more than a dozen soldiers under Yu Dabao's command had their hands and feet severed!
As a result, even these soldiers did not dare to easily block the "tide of immigration" of the people. The originally prosperous Xiying Town gradually turned into a "ghost town", and Yu Dabao was inevitably ordered to make Jiangjin a meal.
"Hard whip", but things have become like this, even Jiang Jin can't do anything!
After all, Zuo Liangyu’s notoriety is not just talk!
Liu Ruyi did not expect that the "traitor" whom everyone in later generations would reviled would invisibly become a powerful protective umbrella for him. What a trick of fate!
In later generations, some philosophers commented like this: "Good guy? Bad guy? This kind of thing depends entirely on one's position! If you are on the winning side, a bad guy can also become a good guy! But if you are on the losing side,
A good person can also become a bad person!"
Liu Ruyi was deeply aware of this. People, in this life, live their lives for themselves, struggling, struggling, and shackles themselves?
Why bother?
Why bother?
…………
The autumn air is crisp, but the weather is already a little cold. On the hillside at the south gate of Caishi Town, rows of bird gunners are constantly pulling the triggers, and the thick aroma of gunpowder fills the entire air.
At this time, several fast horses rushed up from the hillside. Liu Hanyi turned over and dismounted, "Ruyi, your seat has been taken down!"
