On the next day, the merchant army took the campaign and continued to set off.
After one hour after the people set off, they arrived under Hengzhou City. Although no thief soldiers were seen outside the city of Hengzhou, the corpses that had not been cleaned from the wilderness outside the city, with dry blood, and scattered knife and gun armor
Looking at the wreckage, it really goes through a fierce battle.
After the Ming army in the city asked the situation, they immediately opened the gate and let the merchant army enter the city.
However, Liu Yaozuo and Han Chi both understood that the thief army was actually scared by the merchant army, and some merchant army sat in the town city. Everyone also felt that there was a bottom of their hearts, so they also welcomed the arrival of the merchant army. At the same time,
Wang Fuzhi also came to meet, because he had the reputation of people, and he was also famous in Hunan. He also met with Liu Zhifu a few times, and everyone greets each other. Then he asked Shang Yi to go to the government to sit in.
And Wang Fuzhi also resigned from Shang Yi and ran to the house of friends in Hengzhou City.
Shang Yi asked the situation of Hengzhou. It turned out that three days ago, the thief soldiers arrived under the city of Hengzhou, and it was Zhang Xianzhong's banner. The defensive force in Hengzhou City was not as good as Changsha.
More than a thousand people. Therefore, it also caused a panic in Hengzhou City.
Both Liu Yaozuo and Han Chi have the responsibility to defend the city, and there are Gui King in the city, so they can only grit their teeth. The two have asked for help from Changsha.
To help.
And King Gui Zhu Changyi also took out 200,000 silver from the warehouse of the palace, funded the defender, and also made a reward: who can go out of the city to cut a thief, appreciate the silver thirty -two, kill a thief in the city,
, Twenty -two silver. Those who died or seriously wounded also appreciated the silver fifty -two.
Take the lead, the wealthy households in Hengzhou City have also responded to the military and civilians who pay for money, and the labor and management of the city.
These practices naturally have greatly inspired the morale of the military and civilians of the city. Therefore, the military and civilians of the city were fighting against enemies and strictly guarding the dead. As a result, the thief's army attacked for three days and paid a considerable price.
Knowing that the merchant army came to rescue Hengzhou, they did not dare to fight against the merchant army, so they withdrew the army last night.
After listening to Shang Yi, she also sighed. In fact, Zhang Xianzhong's strength is far less than Li Zicheng. As long as every local official can make up his mind, it will be no problem to support it for ten days and eight days.
To persist in Hengzhou, Zhang Xianzhong will not be so easy to attack the city. Only most local officials can fear the enemy as a tiger. When the thieves are killed, they often run away.
They are all like this.
In addition, King Gui can make such a posture. It is also valuable in the late Ming Dynasty. After Li Zicheng broke through Beijing, the establishment of the Nanjing court was established. Shi Kefa once chose to hold him as an emperor. It is not unreasonable.
Later, Shang Yi also told the two that he was just the first person, and followed the 15,000 people in the Huang Degong Department. After one or two days, he could reach Hengzhou. At the same time, Shang Yi carefully asked the various situations of many thieves.
After learning that Liu Yaozuo and Han Chi learned that there were people and horses in the back, they also completely reassured, and they did their best to understand and answered them in detail.
According to the two of them, and their own division of Zhang Xianzhong, Shang Yi believes that the people who attack Hengzhou are likely to be the main force of the Western Army, and it is led by Zhang Xianzhong.
Not long, if you find the whereabouts of the Western Army, it is still very likely to catch up. From the current judgment, the Western Army is unlikely to return to Changsha Mansion in the north, because Wu Yan’s army is still in Changsha. At the same time, it is not
It will enter Jiangxi to the east, where Zuo Liangyu is waiting, so there are only two way out of the Western Army, that is, to the west to Baoqing Mansion, you can enter Guizhou, and south to Yongzhou government can enter Guangxi.
So Shang Yi immediately dispatched scouts to explore the movement of the Western Army. At the same time, the soldiers were ordered to temporarily station in Hengzhou Mansion to wait for the scouts. After the merchant army entered the city, the army was strict, there was no crime in autumn, and the order in Hengzhou City.
It is also organized. It also made Liu Yaozuo and Han Chi rest assured.
After discussion between the two and Shang Yi, they decided to open the gate regularly during the day, let the people go in and out, and at the same time arranged personnel to go out of the city to clean up the body, clean up the battlefield, and avoid the spread of the disease.
And that night, Wang Changyi, Wang, also sent someone to invite Shang Yi and Liu Yaozuo, Han Chi, and went to the palace to the banquet. Shang Yi also brought Zhou Shaozhen, Tong Dadong, Cheng Gang, Yang Wudi and others to the banquet together.
In fact, the King of the Ming Dynasty at this time was not very famous. It was much worse than the king, King Zhou, King Zhou, and Lu Wang, and the land was relatively far away, but after all, it was also the prince.
From a distance, you can see a large group of building communities. There are high -thick wall guardians outside, red walls and blue tiles, Chongtai Liancheng, it seems like a small city.
The Mansion of the King of the Ming Dynasty is basically a city in the city, and there are a set of institutions that serve the princes and a group of loose officials, school captains, internal waiters, people, treat others, etc.
As many as thousands of people, and they all have corresponding giving, rations, work food. This cost is naturally borne by the court's treasury.
Poor.
However, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, the number of clan classes in the Ming Dynasty reached hundreds of thousands. Each year, a huge wealthy rice grain was required to supply their lives and became a heavy burden in finance. As a result, it was in the middle and late Wanli.
The imperial court has began to arrears the royal family with a huge expenditure of the clan. However, most of the princes occupy a large number of land and field production locally, so they can not receive it.
Can still maintain their luxury life.
Therefore, on the one hand, the people are displaced, live a life that looks hungry and cold, and lives in the evening, while the nobles on the other side can still spend the sky and enjoy it.
It's.
At the door of Wangfu, two chopsticks inlaid copper -inlaid nails are tall and highlighted, and the two Gu Xu Shi Lishi of the door of the door looks extraordinary. Below the steps, standing in the inside of the Wangfu Mansion, one in the middle of the one to wear, one in the middle of the one, one in the middle, a one in the middle, one in the middle, and one in the middle.
The man of the yellow robe is conspicuous.
Liu Yaozuo said to Shang Yi: "General Shang, this is the son of the king of Gui, Zhu Xi, the king of the king.
Shang Yi heard that Zhu Youlang was the Emperor Yongli of Nanming later, and King Gui sent Shizi to the Wangfu Gate and waited for himself to welcome himself.
A few steps, bowed to salute, and said, "See the sons of the duty."
Zhu Youhara: "Everyone is free of gifts."
Shang Yi just got up and saw that Zhu Youlang was about twenty years old. He was slightly fat and white, and he was a little childish, but he finally had so many Amanians.
It is more pleasing to the eye.
At this time, Zhu Youlang took the first two steps and came to Shang Yi, and said, "You are General Shang Yi Shang."
Shang Yidao: "The last is exactly."
Zhu Youlang took a closer look at Shang Yi again, saying: "Lonely in the palace, I have heard of the name of General Shang.
Da Ming, Huguang's three -year -old child did not dare to cry. Some merchants came to Hengzhou City, and lonely no longer had to worry about running. "
Shang Yi couldn't help crying. I didn't know that Zhu Youlang was boasted or damaged himself, so he had to say: "Shizi has passed the prize, rumors are not credible. In the end, there is not such a great reputation.
Hongfu, the emperor, relied on the soldiers to fight hard. In the end, they would not dare to hold their own merits. "
Zhu Youlang froze for a long time before he understood the meaning of Shang Yi, and said, "How did you fight with Liu Kou, I heard that when you defeated Li Ni in Guide Mansion, he once fought alone in Li Shi.
General, the sun is not oblique, the defeat of nine people, killed five people, captured three people, was scared one person. Is this true? "
Shang Yi: "Shi Yan, actually this ..."
Zhu Youlang: "Lonely hear you fight in Suizhou, Li Nang's millions of troops killed nine entrances and nine outs, chopped four flags, and seized six.
Is it? "
Shang Yi: "..."
Zhu Youlang: "There is also you led the army to attack Hanyang Mansion. He once tried to get a jack door, so that the soldiers were killed into the city and won the Hanyang government. Do you see the stone lion in front of the Wangfu Gate?
There are many, it is almost the same as the jack gate, can you raise one by one? "
Shang Yi: Khan!
Zhu Youlang: "Lonely I heard that the weapons you use are a pair of drums and gold hammers. Each one is as big as a bucket, weighs 500 pounds, do you bring it, can you take it out for a look?"
Shang Yi: "￥ E ?? Δθ? Θ."
A king's man beside him cough, reminding: "His Royal Highness ..."
Zhu Youlang then understood, and took a pat on his forehead, and said, "Forget the loneliness a little bit. This is not a place to speak. Please come to the house first. After a while at the banquet, the merchant must take you to be you
How to fight with Liu Kou, talk about it with details. "
After the leader, he walked towards the palace. And Shang Yi, Liu Yaozuo, Han Chi and others were also followed. Other housekeepers, the captain supported, and a dog piled up into the Gui Wangfu.
The specifications of the palace are similar to the palace, and they are also built with the three main halls of the front, middle, and back, and there are other palaces, Zongmiao, Academy, warehouse, and other houses around the hatchbacks of each hall.
Before Crossing, Shang Yi went to the Forbidden City several times, and in this era, he also entered the palace.
However, people are all in this place for the first time, and they are extremely excited. They follow the behind, and they secretly secretly look at it.
