Chapter 342 Sweeping thousands of armies like a rolling mat
Normally, Li Yunze would rectify things after he gains power.
The local urban foxes and social rats, the evil officials in the government offices, and the profiteers on the street are all targets for rectification.
Chang'an City is naturally no exception.
He thought that Chang'an City would be settled after reorganization, but he never thought that there would be people who dared to mess around at such a critical moment when the enemy was besieging the city.
"You are looking down on me, Mr. Li."
On the way to Jingzhao Mansion, Li Yunze had many thoughts running through his mind.
A certain big boss like Lu Xie who had not escaped from Chang'an City was instigating the evil behind the scenes.
Huang Chao sent people to sneak into the city to cause destruction.
The clan members who didn't run away were secretly trying to hold them back.
The terrifying crashing sound made everyone panic.
A large number of thieves took the stairs and ladders and rushed up to the city wall, where they fought fiercely with the defenders.
‘Boom!!’
Everyone in Jingzhao Mansion looked at each other, this martial artist was not stupid, he actually knew the secrets inside.
Military law in the Tang Dynasty was no longer as complicated as in the Qin and Han Dynasties, where noses were cut off, ears were chopped off, and hands and feet were beheaded.
If it is shot at a siege equipment, it will also directly penetrate the hole.
In this era, there are very few knowledgeable scholars. If you want to be an official or something, reading and literacy are the foundation.
Those who look panicked but want to get through the situation can only hope that Li Yunze can avoid being punished.
Afterwards, the cannon fodder rushed forward carrying sacks filled with soil and stones, braving the rain of arrows to fill in the moat.
But when they rushed into the city, they were shocked to find that both sides of the road were surrounded by towering and solid walls, and the passages between various places and cities were also blocked.
Time flies, and it’s the spring of the second year of Guangming.
Li Yunze looked at the indifferent clerks and smiled casually, "We will set up a training class in the army to teach the sergeants how to read and write. After graduation, they can retire and become clerks."
With a dark face, he led a large group of tooth soldiers into the Yamen. The shocked crowd lined up to listen to Li Yunze's reprimand.
The day the notice was posted, hundreds of people came to sign up.
Although Li Yunze is a gentleman, he cannot be bullied.
This work alone lasted more than ten days.
Simple, clear and very convenient.
As the most prosperous capital city in the world, there are too many Changdiao people here waiting for opportunities. Now that the opportunity comes, of course they will not let it go.
If you really knew him, you would never think so.
"Okay, there's no need to explain anything." He waved his hand, "I understand without explaining. You colluded with the grain merchants and supplied them with grain at the official price to deceive me. The grain merchants then sold it at a higher price.
Give it to the people, and share the profits earned among them. If anyone comes to complain,
You are responsible for settling the situation. Yes or no?"
First, the river channel was dug to divert all the running water around Chang'an City, causing the water level of the moat to drop.
"Then why is there a grain merchant in the West Market who offers four hundred coins for a bucket of rice?" Li Yunze's eyes became colder and colder. "I just ignored my words. Is it because you are distracted or because I can't lift the sword?"
As a Jingzhao Yin, this is the first time for Li Yunze to come to Jingzhao Mansion Yamen.
The defenders on the city wall also began to fight back. Not only were arrows raining down, heavy weapons such as the Eight Ox Crossbow also fired desperately, shooting out the thick crossbow arrows that were half a man long.
Li Yunze not only wanted to defend Chang'an City, but also inflicted heavy losses on Huang Chao's troops.
Li Yunze, who was sitting on the chair of Da Ma Jin Dao, looked at everyone with an indifferent expression, "What did I say when I offered food?"
After passing through the various squares and cities, facing the crossbows and stones fired from both sides, they crossed half of Chang'an City, and finally rushed to Zhuque Street on the central axis of Chang'an City.
Chang'an City was originally a military city, and the blockade of the city immediately transformed into small fortresses. It is truly the strongest city in the world.
Li Yunze waved his hand to these government servants who had been passed down from generation to generation, and the tooth soldiers stepped forward and drove them away.
The most intense battle was at Yanxingmen.
Setting up training courses in the military is a long-term plan.
Zhuque Street is very wide and is called Tianjie.
On the contrary, he is not big-minded, and anyone who dares to play tricks on him will definitely be punished.
In order to prevent it from being destroyed again, they protected the siege equipment very well this time. Li Yunze only destroyed part of it after several attacks.
The government officials were naturally frightened and cried out that they were wronged. Some even said angrily, "We have been working as government officials for generations, so why did the Ming government rob us?"
There are no illiterates in the modern world, everyone is educated.
When Gaihong's men, who rushed the fastest, ran out of the street and came to Zhuque Street.
There is no doubt that Zhuque Street is the number one street in the world in this era.
There were too many possibilities, which made Li Yunze's eyes become more serious.
"Do you still want to say that when you give grain to grain merchants for two hundred cents per meter, it has nothing to do with you that the grain merchants increase the price and resell it?"
Tens of thousands of thieves surged over and attacked the city walls on both sides of Yanxing Gate. There were dozens of siege engines that successfully leaned against the city wall alone.
Immediately, a document came out to salute, "Return to the Ming Mansion to ask questions, the limit is 200 liters of rice."
The street, which is more than 100 meters wide, is longer than the length of a football field.
There are quite a few reinforcements on the periphery, but the soldiers and horses in each town are hesitant to move forward due to their own reasons, so they still have to rely on themselves.
"No need." Li Yunze, who was standing at the top of the city looking at the various passages in the city, pointed at the roads, "The passages in Xinchang, Shengdao, Xuanping, and Shengping have all been blocked, so that the cavalry can move on Zhuque Street.
Waiting to attack."
Huang Chao, who could no longer hold himself back, soon launched an all-out attack on Chang'an City.
When he tried to attack, he was met with a hail of arrows, but when he forced his way past, he was faced with an eyeful of soldiers.
"I think the same is done in Chang'an and Wannian counties."
Now, we have to find a way to lift the siege.
The bandit soldiers finally saw the officers and soldiers gathered on Zhuque Street, and at a glance they could see thousands of horsemen.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Yunze directly asked the tooth soldiers beside him to "go to the wounded barracks to select a group of brothers who can no longer serve and take over the duties of each class in Jingzhao Mansion and Chang'an Wannian County."
“It’s unfair~~~”
"Haha~~~"
Because it is too heavy and solid, there is no way to push it open.
Thousands of thieves pushed all kinds of siege equipment towards the city wall.
Having said this, Li Yunze smiled and shook his head, "This routine will remain unchanged for thousands of years."
The Eight Ox Crossbow is extremely powerful. When it is shot at a person, it will be nailed directly to the ground regardless of whether you are a soldier or not.
As for Li Yunze's actions at this time, it has already touched the bottom line of the Tang Dynasty. Now that he is the biggest in Chang'an City, who cares about this?
From now on, whether Li Yunze stays in Chang'an City or goes outside to serve as a governor for a town, he will need a large number of clerks under his command.
Then there was a heavy car, which was dragged to the city gate by dozens of armored cattle.
Everyone hurriedly cried out, "How dare we disobey the orders of the Ming Dynasty? When we give grain to grain merchants, we always give them two hundred cents per pound of rice."
Rush carts, ladders, nest carts, etc. pass through the filled moat and lean against the city wall.
To sum it up in a general way, it means that for minor offenses, you will be beaten with a military stick, and for serious offenses, you will be beheaded directly.
After two consecutive days of fierce attacks and heavy casualties, Huang Chao's general Zhao Zhang finally broke through the Yanxing Gate.
Facts have proved that even in the Tang Dynasty, being an official was a job that people all over the world were eager to pursue.
But now, "post notices in the city to recruit people to serve as officials."
Judging from what these people have done, they probably wouldn't be able to survive with a military stick.
After the moat was filled with many passages, the general attack was finally launched.
More and more people rushed in from behind, so we had no choice but to keep moving forward.
It's okay to fool those who are stupid in reading with this kind of words, but if you want to fool Li Yunze, then you look down on him too much.
Li Yunze provided a large amount of food, which stabilized the people of Chang'an City.
Everyone in Jingzhao Mansion had different expressions but remained silent.
Huang Chao was overjoyed when he heard the news, and immediately ordered his troops to use Yanxing Gate as a breakthrough point to enter the city.
After the arrangements were made, Li Yunze pointed at the yamen clerks and said, "Take them out and interrogate them strictly. Ask them what bad things they have done in the past, and whoever you peeped in bathing when you were a child. After asking clearly, I will ask those who sell me food at a higher price."
Deal with the profiteers together."
The wooden bumper wrapped in a metal sheath was pulled up, then fell down and hit the city gate hard.
Huang Chao's army, which suffered heavy losses, finally built a huge siege equipment.
The ones with happy faces were all those at the bottom, and they had no share in sharing the benefits, but now that someone is gone, they actually have a chance.
Because Li Yunze had left the city to fight from here several times, it was obvious that the city gate here was not blocked, so Huang Chao chose this as his main attack direction.
The leader of the Chamber of Commerce is like Jiang Chun, risking his life for money, etc.
Besides, you yourself in the Ming Dynasty asked for the two hundred coins a bucket to be sold, and we all acted according to your instructions. If there were any mistakes that we took advantage of to make a profit, it was because you didn't make it clear yourself.
What are you waiting for?
All we can say is that they don’t understand Li Yunze yet.
Li Yunze sighed and simply stood up, "I am busy with official duties and have no time to spend with you. Anyone who comes forward to surrender now can save his life. Otherwise, he will be dealt with by military law."
If there was really a big force stabbing him in the back, he would definitely go crazy.
So flat, so spacious, so hiss?!
This street is the north-south central axis of Chang'an City, with a length of more than five kilometers and a width of more than 100 meters.
"General, please seal the city gate." Many people came to Li Yunze and suggested that Yanxing Gate be sealed with sand, gravel and soil, so that they would not be afraid even if the city gate was destroyed.
Everyone was shocked by the terrifyingly spacious street in front of them.
Many thieves poured into the city like a tide, brandishing weapons and preparing to vent their grievances and anger.
Li Yunze, who was clad in armor, was holding a horse spear in his hand. When he saw the thieves rushing onto Zhuque Street, he immediately raised his hand.
They want to plunder, they want to slaughter, they want to make piston movements!
The soldiers who had been sitting on the ground to rest one after another got up and mounted their horses, transforming into terrifying armored cavalry!
Li Yunze raised his hand and lowered his visor. He took a deep breath and waved the horse in his hand, "Charge!"
Thousands of cavalrymen ran in a mighty manner, crashing into the passage crowded with thieves like a mountain bearing down on them.
The terrifying impact of the armored cavalry was revealed, destroying the thieves along the way like waves of swords.
That soaring momentum is what truly sweeps through thousands of armies like a rolling maelstrom!
