To be honest, the Mopanying border troops did not move very quickly, because when Liu Guoneng's vanguard troops arrived, they only caught the tail of the peasant army. However, Liu Guoneng was not discouraged. With one order, tens of thousands of cavalry were dispatched.
He galloped around, chasing the peasant army and killing them fiercely. At first, everything went smoothly, but then Liu Guoneng ran into some trouble.
The morale of the peasant army had already collapsed. Although they had beaten Xu Changlu away, they still did not have the courage to fight the border troops. Since the Yunfu cavalry, all of them were just focused on escaping for their lives. As for whether they could outrun the cavalry, it was too late to think too much. The result was disastrous.
As you can imagine, the hundreds of thousands of peasant troops were divided into several sections and fled in all directions. The Yunfu cavalry rushed in, like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep. But in this case, one man actually stopped him halfway with others.
This man was tall and strong, with a resolute appearance, and the machete in his hand looked as heavy as a stone. Liu Guoneng led his army to pursue him all the way, and he had no intention of stopping for the time being. Since it was a show, he had to do the whole thing, which Gao Yingxiang and his gang knew
The truth is, if those people are lagging behind, I wouldn't mind finding a few named people to do the surgery.
Liu Guoneng was a little surprised when a group of people who were supposed to flee suddenly appeared in the way. After rushing over, he just looked at it and frowned, "Mi Zhenyang, it's you. I didn't expect it. We
We actually met under such circumstances."
The corners of the big man's mouth turned upward, and his eyes were full of vicissitudes of life. In just two years, things have changed and people have changed. Mi Zhenyang is actually a figure. In those days, the green forest bandit on Taihua Mountain responded to Wang's own use.
After the call, he went down the mountain and became a tiger general. At that time, Wang Ziyong had three tiger generals, Heisha Shen Haichao, Liu Guoneng who broke into the falling sky, and Li Wanqing who shot down the sky. Besides these three people, it was Mi Zhenyang. It was just Mi Zhenyang.
Yang was a low-key person, so his reputation was not prominent, but Liu Guoneng, who knew him well, did not dare to underestimate this person's ability.
Liu Guoneng never thought that he would meet Mi Zhenyang here. Mi Zhenyang was the person under Wang Ziyong's hand. Wang Ziyong was currently licking his wounds in Funiu Mountain. How could Mi Zhenyang appear here?
"Brother Zhenyang, I didn't expect that we would meet here. Liu always thought you were in Funiu Mountain!" As he spoke, Liu Guoneng cupped his hand. Mi Zhenyang spat and smiled bitterly, "What are you doing?
Are you laughing at Mr. Mi? Liu Guoneng, it’s in vain that I called you brother and sister back then. I didn’t expect you to serve as an officer and soldier and become a general. You are really cool. As for why I am here... then
I have to thank you and Brother Li, do you think you two have surrendered to the Living King of Hell, and Wang Ziyong still dares to use me?"
Liu Guoneng thought about it carefully and understood what was going on. At the beginning, the relationship between Liu Guoneng, Li Wanqing and Mi Zhenyang was very good. After the incident, Wang Ziyong still dared to use Mi Zhenyang with confidence? He had never thought that,
The choice of that day actually affected Mi Zhenyang. Feeling ashamed, Liu Guoneng said sincerely: "Brother Zhenyang, why don't you also vote for the Superintendent? The Superintendent knows rewards and punishments clearly, so he will not..."
Before Liu Guoneng could finish speaking, Mi Zhenyang raised his hand and interrupted him, mocking rudely: "That's enough, Liu Guoneng, you know I, my family was ruined by those dog officials, now you let me
Should I surrender to the King of Hell? Even if I am torn apart with swords, I will not surrender to the imperial court. Today, since we have bumped into each other, let’s decide the outcome.”
"Is there no room for maneuver at all?" Liu Guoneng knew Mi Zhenyang's past, so he simply stopped trying to persuade him. It was just that the former brothers really wanted to fight each other, and they couldn't bear it. Mi Zhenyang wanted to let it go. He saw that
Looking at the surrounding situation, many things seemed to have been figured out, "Needless to say, today is either you or me. One of us must survive."
"Don't you want to live so much?" Liu Guoneng pointed to the distance with a bit of hatred, "Don't you find anything wrong? Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and the others all ran away. They passed the checkpoint without stopping.
We are running forward, only those of you who don’t know what is going on are behind you. You have been betrayed by Gao Yingxiang and those people, why are you still holding on to the end?”
Mi Zhenyang shook his head, his smile was very bitter. In fact, he already understood what was going on. All the baggage and supplies were left behind. It could be said that they were left intact to the officers and soldiers. But King Chuang and the others passed
After passing the checkpoint, they fled forward without saying a word. And the Yunfu cavalry who caught up did not seem to be in a hurry to chase down the leaders. This shows that there must be something fishy in this.
It seems that Chuang Wang has secretly negotiated with the Living Hell King, and only the people below did not know what was going on, and became the unjust dead ghosts in a daze. Chuang Wang and the others want to live, but the Living Hell King also wants to gain a share of military glory and answer to the court. So.
, only those insignificant people are sacrificed. The hundreds of thousands of peasant soldiers, except for the leaders and the two to thirty thousand direct descendants, the remaining nearly one hundred thousand people are insignificant bargaining chips. These people can kill as many as the soldiers and horses of the King of Hell can kill.
.
After understanding everything, Mi Zhenyang's heart was already dead. His heart was dead, so he was unwilling to escape. If he didn't leave, he would die. This was Mi Zhenyang's choice. Perhaps dying in Liu Guoneng's hands would be the best relief.
There was no suspense in the battle. When Liu Guoneng ordered the cavalry behind him to crush him, Mi Zhenyang's fate was already sealed. Mi Zhenyang wanted to die. As an old friend, I could only understand him and help him.
The final battle in Jiuhua Mountain was a big scene and a long time, but there was always something missing. On the other side, Xu Changlu fled all the way. When the news from the rear came, he squatted on the ground and wanted to cry without tears. At this moment
, no matter how stupid you are, you still know that someone has plotted against you. The bandits escaped from their own defense area, so they will definitely take the blame. But in fact, the bandits abandoned Mopan Camp and went directly to the northeast corner of Jiuhua Mountain. Is this normal? What a pity.
, the people above will not consider these issues.
The clean-up work of the Jiuhua Mountain battle lasted for several days, and thanks to the joint efforts of the frontier troops and the Beijing camp, fruitful results were achieved. After successive fierce battles in Jiuhua Mountain, the rogue bandits were severely damaged, killing nearly 80,000 people. The rogue bandits Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng were both very energetic.
Injured, and most importantly, countless supplies were seized. Official documents asking for merit were quickly sent to North and South Zhili, and then they were waiting for instructions from the court.
But it was said that Gao Yingxiang led the defeated troops to flee northwest. Although the Yunfu cavalry did not pursue him, he still did not dare to stop. Soon after, the army entered Luzhou Prefecture, and the soldiers and horses kept passing through Luzhou Prefecture. Finally, in four days
Later, he arrived in Shangzhou and finally returned to the Central Plains where he had been away for a long time. Under the city of Shangzhou, looking up at the blue sky, Gao Yingxiang felt that he had walked through the Hall of Hell, from heaven to hell, this was how he felt.
On the second day of March in the fourth year of Chongzhen, a large number of rogue bandits poured into Shangzhou, and the Central Plains area was once again in turmoil. Today, the Central Plains is still a pot of porridge, with Wang Ziyong and Zhang Xianzhong in Funiu Mountain, Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng in Shangzhou, Baofeng City and Nanyang Prefecture.
There was also the rogue bandit Li Yangchun. For a time, the Central Plains once again became the area hardest hit by civil unrest. However, what is strange is that after the rogue bandits returned from South Zhili, they restrained themselves a lot and no longer burned, killed, and looted as much as before. However, a large number of rogue bandits
Trapped in the Central Plains, Henan Prefecture and Kaifeng Prefecture could not bear it. Out of fear, official documents requesting the imperial court to send troops were sent to the capital one by one.
Nowadays, in the Central Plains area, the only ones who can really fight are the troops and horses under the command of Chen Qiyu, the governor of the three sides. Sun Chuanting is guarding Nanyang. Although there are many troops and horses, combat power is a big problem after all. Chen Qiyu and Sun Chuanting are in Nanyang.
North, it seems that Wang Ziyong, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Yangchun are caught in the middle, but in fact it is of no use. As long as Wang Ziyong and Zhang Xianzhong are willing, they can break through the defense line and rush out of Funiu Mountain at any time, not to mention the more powerful ones.
Li Yangchun's subordinate. At this time, Sun Chuanting hated Zhao Lijiao and Qin Liangyu. If they hadn't taken away the elite soldiers, why would this have happened.
Unlike Sun Chuanting, Chen Qiyu saw clearly and was not angry because of Cao Wenzhao. Not to mention that he would have to rely on Cao Wenzhao for many things in the future. Even without these reasons, Chen Qiyu would not blame Cao Wenzhao too much.
After arriving in Shaanxi, I realized how difficult it was to start a career in Shaanxi. Although Yang He was captured, it did not mean that Yang He was incompetent. Only when he sat in the position of governor of the three sides did he realize how difficult it was for Yang He.
The imperial court only gave so much military pay and materials, but the civil unrest was the worst in Shaanxi. To suppress bandits, you need soldiers and horses, and to raise soldiers, you need money and food. The imperial court could give too little, so we had to think of other ways.
.
Cao Wenzhao ran over and followed Tie Mo, because he wanted to get enough benefits for the brothers under his command. Only if they have food and drink, the soldiers will listen to you. Whether it is the imperial army or the bandits, if they don't even have food,
If you can't afford it, who will work with you? You can see clearly, so Chen Qiyu simply turned a blind eye, which is also doing himself a favor. If Cao Wenzhao is unhappy, then he will suppress bandits in Shaanxi
The great cause is difficult to achieve.
When the people in Henan unanimously requested the imperial court to send more troops to the Central Plains, Tie Mo, who was the governor of the three provinces, was hiding on Jiuhua Mountain to watch the scenery. In early spring, Jiuhua Mountain was already warm, and walking in the sunshine felt extremely comfortable, just like
The mood at this time was so beautiful that it bubbled with beauty. In the battle of Jiuhua Mountain, what was important was not how many traitors were killed, but the materials. It had been four days, and the materials and money had not yet been counted.
How many good things are there? So many people were stunned that they couldn't finish the statistics in four days. Today's Shanxi merchants can definitely be regarded as qualified arms dealers. It can be said that wherever Tie Mo goes, business will be done. Whenever Tie Mo goes to war
, surrounded by a professional staff team, this team is only responsible for post-war material statistics and distribution. After all, when it comes to doing business, these people are more professional.
In the past two days, news has been sent continuously, and it can be said that good things have continued. So far, the wealth alone has exceeded 3 million taels of gold, and as much as 60 million taels of silver. Sometimes Tie Mo even doubts whether the bandit is a rogue.
After scanning Zhejiang, so much money was piled up that it became a mountain. Gao Yingxiang also had a brain problem. He brought so much gold and silver into the army. Was he afraid that the gold and silver would grow wings and fly away?
Of course, it is impossible to swallow all the gold and silver. Some of it must be returned to the gentry and common people in Nanzhili and Zhejiang. This can not only gain a good reputation, but also be accountable to the court. There is too much money, really
If you swallow it all, you will be strangled to death. Tie Mo still understands this truth very well.
Part of the money will definitely be returned, but to whom and how it will be returned, we have to think carefully about it. I was sitting in a chair with my eyes closed to relax, when I saw Xu Zhixin walking over, followed by a dozen accountants. Tie
Mo has his own statistical team, and Xu Zhixin naturally also has his own accounting team. Sitting on the chair next to him, Xu Zhixin poured herself a cup of tea and asked in a low voice: "Have you thought about how to deal with so many things?"
"The gold and silver cash will be taken away first, and the remaining materials will be slowly digested. There are too many things. It is almost impossible to find a buyer in a short time. Of course, the share you deserve will never be delayed.
Yes, have you and my father-in-law ever thought about how to transport such a large amount of gold and silver back? You don’t really plan to transport it back to the Duke’s mansion in a big way, do you?”
"This..." Xu Zhixin was originally smiling, but suddenly she became a little sad. If Tie Mo hadn't mentioned it, she would never have thought about this problem. With tens of millions of taels of silver, this is a mountain.
, how to transport a mountain back? With such a mountain of silver, how could the officials of the six ministries remain indifferent and not stop it? Moreover, in full view of the public, there was no reason for the government to swallow the money.
After all, the Duke's Mansion is different from Tie Mo. Tie Mo has the power to make decisions. The most important thing is that his home base is in Yun Mansion, and his civil and military system has nothing to do with the court. Tie Mo has the final say in everything.
There is no need to consider the attitude of the court. What's more, they have already secretly reached an agreement with the emperor Zhu Youjian, and they can take the money openly. Not only will Zhu Youjian not be angry afterwards, but he will also be very happy, because in this way, the Yun Mansion will be owed money.
The army's salary for suppressing bandits has been paid, and the national treasury and internal funds have made a lot of money.
But what about the Duke's Mansion? In full view of everyone, a mountain of silver enters the mansion. What do you want to do? Do you want to rebel? It's really hard to say if you want to label the Duke's Mansion.
"What do you think?" Xu Zhixin almost blurted out. After asking, she regretted it. It seemed that she shouldn't ask Tie Mo about this kind of thing.
Tie Mo was stunned for a moment, and pointed to his nose with a bit of laughter, "Miss, you ask me? Shouldn't it be you and Mr. Xu who made the decision?"
"If we have a good idea, can we ask you? You are colluding with the merchants in the north and using the Duofu nickname. You have done this a lot. What's the harm in asking you? Is there anything you can do?" Xu Zhixin jointly asked
Yun glared angrily, she was indeed anxious. The army had stayed in Jiuhua Mountain for too long, and Nanjing had already sent people to make trouble outside. The longer it was delayed, the easier things would go wrong.
