The bandits in the Tutu Temple all took a breath. They were also afraid of the Manchu and Qing troops. To be fair, if the guards were not well equipped, they would not be able to defeat the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners cavalry. Even the guards could not
The generals in the Manchu army who wanted to give in three points were not something they dared to offend.
At this time, the bandits discovered that this man's hair was very long and the front was shaved. Although he did not have long braids, it could be seen that the long hair had traces of braids. "What's your name? Why are you here alone?"
Aren't you afraid of people who are protecting you when you go out for a walk?" The leader asked about their Manchu prisoner named Heratilu.
"I'm here to deliver a message to Lanshan Village. Please let me go quickly. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences for delaying our important event. Everyone in our government knows the route I took. Are you saying that when the government comes to destroy you, it won't be worth the loss?"
And if you can join the government, have food, drink, and play with women, you say it will be a fairy life for you, right?" Heratilu was afraid that these bandits would kill him together, so he immediately
The bandits were recruited and surrendered using a mix of force and softness.
"How can I know that what you say is true? Besides, how high is your official position? Can you make the decision to recruit us?" The leader asked doubtfully, unsure of his decision.
"My official position is small, but my uncle is the general of the Manchu army stationed in Lanshan Village. I will write a letter and you will send someone to Lanshan Village to deliver the letter. When the time comes, senior officials will have to do it. Horses can be ridden. Isn't it much better than you are now?
Huh?" As soon as Heratilu said this, the first master immediately brought him a pen and paper and asked him to write a letter. After writing the letter, the first master immediately asked the second master to go to Lanshan Village to find Heratilu's uncle.
"General Heratilu, you will stay with us for two days now and let my second brother go find your uncle. But you also know that we are very poor now, so what do you think?" The headmaster gestured.
The appearance of Yuanbao.
"Okay, I'll give you one hundred taels of silver." "It's too little. I have more than four hundred brothers here." "It's quite a lot. You all have military pay when you officially join the army. Now this money is my personal money."
It's for you. We are very interesting people." "Oh, well, then you write it down and I will send someone to deliver it immediately." The boss did not dare to offend this guy too much. Although one hundred taels of silver is not much,
But now I can only agree.
The second master took fifty bandits on the road. They walked down the mountain on the rugged mountain road. The second master looked back at the Tutu Temple, feeling uneasy because this Heratilu obviously did not look like a messenger. Generally, messengers are the least.
They were in groups of two and both were riding horses. Who has ever seen a messenger on foot? If the uncle this guy mentioned was lying to them, they would be in trouble. Their lives would be at risk and their future would be in jeopardy.
He was restless and restless.
Fifty-one people were walking when they saw two pedestrians walking in front of them. One of them had an injured leg and was walking forward leaning on a wooden branch. "Hey, the fat black boy and the injured white-faced scholar are like
They are as handsome as girls!" Since having the guardians, they can no longer burn, kill, loot, and abuse and humiliate women. Suppressing their animalistic desires, their eyes changed when they saw two beautiful men.
De Luyouyou quickly walked towards the two of them.
Each of the fifty-one people took out their own weapons. Some had half-cut spear heads, some had knives full of gaps, and some had rusty long swords. The weapons of these bandits had long been damaged.
"Hahaha, Grandpa is in a bad mood today. You two boys will donate all the valuable things and wash your butts and eyes clean. Once you feel better, you can consider keeping your lives.
"As soon as the second master finished speaking, the fat black-faced man opposite him came to them for some reason and said, "Ah!" A blood line appeared on the second master's neck, and the body fell to the ground.
Immediately after the lightning-fast round dance, more than a dozen bandits were killed or injured. A group of bandits with little kung fu were so frightened that they immediately ran away.
"Don't run. Those who don't run will not be killed, and those who run away will be killed without mercy." The bandits found out that the person speaking was the handsome boy with an injured leg. Originally they ignored the boy, but when they saw what he was holding in his hand
, immediately stopped moving, because the other party was holding a pistol.
Although they had never seen such a short-type musket, these bandits were greedy for life and did not dare to test it. They immediately knelt down obediently and said, "Grandpa, please forgive me. I have an eighty-year-old mother above me and three children below me."
We have to take care of the children who are 10 years old and the disabled wives among them. The good man spared us, but we don’t dare to do it anymore.” The old-fashioned begging language that was more proficient than anything else came out of their mouths.
"Stop talking nonsense, who are you? What are you going to do? If you lie even one word, you will be killed. If you correct others' lies, you can live." When he saw that these were a group of cowards, Zhang Huahan didn't even bother to separate and interrogate him, so he said directly
In one sentence, these bandits immediately told Zhang Huahan everything, including his eighteenth generation ancestors and the things he did when he was a child, playing in the mud and grabbing candy from others.
Thirty-eight bandits took turns carrying Zhang Huahan forward. Zhang Huahan was holding a gun and sitting on a sedan made of canes and branches. Xiaoyue was watching these people behind the bandits in case they suddenly turned against Zhang Huahan.
"Zhaojiagou is ahead. There is a guard there. Are you sure you want to go there?" The thought of going to the guard's territory made the heads of these bandits go numb.
"Don't talk nonsense. If you want to survive, just obey the command. When you get there, I guarantee that you can live a normal life, but if you still become bandits in the future, you will be killed without mercy." Zhang Huahan said.
From a distance, Zhang Huahan saw a fire burning under a tree in the distance, and a cloud of black smoke rose up. The corner of his mouth curved, because the method of reporting black smoke was taught by him, "It seems that here
We do have our troops." Zhang Huahan said in a low voice.
Because the issued order to change the unit's designation has not yet arrived here, the temporary name of the unit is still called Hu**, and people outside are not aware of the name change, so the bandits are still called Hu**.
"Stop, I know you. You are bandits under the Bald King. Don't leave. You surrender. Otherwise, we will kill you all." More than three hundred Huo Tong's protective militiamen carried swords, guns, sticks, bows and arrows.
surrounded them.
Xiaoyue threw the token in her hand at the feet of the leading man. The big man was startled when he saw the token. Then he recovered and immediately picked up the token, looked at Xiaoyue and said: "My name is Li Dali, I can
Tell me your names and explain why you are with these bandits?"
Zhang Huahan told the names of the two people and what happened on the sedan chair. He asked the leader Li Dali to arrange the livelihood of the bandits. After having the land, most people would not become bandits. These people under Li Dali
After the village leaders sent people to monitor them, Zhang Huahan ordered them to deal with them strictly if they found out that any of these people were guilty, and if the circumstances were serious, they would be killed without mercy.
"I've long heard that Captain Zhang's appearance is unparalleled among men, and it turned out to be true when I saw it today." Li Dali murmured to his men in a low voice. "Captain Li, are you interested in dealing with the Bald King's men? Is anyone interested?
Guide, we can surprise them tonight and attack their lair, and also eliminate a lot of harm for dozens of miles around." "Yes, I will gather people immediately, Chief Zhang, I will send people to contact the Fujian militia.
What do you think?" "Go." Zhang Huahan knew that the other party was still suspicious of his identity, because it was impossible for him at his level to know that Zhang Huahan was coming to Fujian. Only those high-ranking people in the militia were notified, and they all knew him.
Zhang Huahan asked their men to come, one to prove that Zhang Huahan was indeed not a fake, and the other to protect him. They relied on the military power of Lijiagou and the militia forces in nearby villages to defeat weak bandits and bandits.
Cheng, when encountering a large-scale Manchu army, Li Dali was afraid that he would not be able to protect Zhang Huahan. However, he knew that Zhang Huahan, who had suddenly risen to a regular position, was the deputy commander. He was one of the main leaders indispensable for protecting the people.
There is absolutely no room for error.
"You are injured, so you don't have to participate in this battle." Li Dali persuaded Zhang Huahan. He originally planned to go together, but Xiaoyue finally persuaded him. After all, he was injured and had inconvenient legs and feet, so he went to the battlefield.
Instead, Xiaoyue was distracted from taking care of him.
"Don't worry, I will definitely capture the Manchu named Heratilu alive." Xiaoyue promised Zhang Huahan. She was afraid that if she didn't guarantee it, the man she loved so much would insist on going to the battlefield with injuries.
.
"Be careful yourself. Remember, nothing can compare with your safety. If you really can't catch that slave, don't be brave. Remember?" Zhang Huahan warned.
In order to suppress the bandits this time, Li Dali mobilized 800 militiamen from 23 nearby villages. Under the guidance of more than 20 surrendered bandits, they easily surrounded the abandoned Tutu Temple where the bandits were hiding.
In the battle of Tutu Temple, the Bald King bandits were destroyed. The Bald King and the other three leaders all died in the battle. Half of the more than 400 bandits were killed and wounded, and half of them surrendered. Among the surrendered people, all the guilty ones were killed.
They were all arrested and tried, and those who deserved to be killed were killed without mercy, making the people nearby applaud.
Heratilu, who was tied to the bench, said sternly: "Don't ask me, I won't say anything." Zhang Huahan whispered something to Xiaoyue and Li Dali, and then asked someone to use straw smeared with feces.
They blocked his mouth with straw and rags, and tightly strangled the straw and rags mixed with feces in his mouth to prevent him from spitting out.
After a while, Li Dali brought the pepper water up, and Zhang Huahan poured it into his nose, "Woo, woo, woo, woo." Heratilu struggled desperately with runny nose and tears.
With.
"Don't say yes, I'll give you something more serious." Xiaoyue brought a stool, Zhang Huahan put a long awl on it, pulled Heratilu and let him sit, and Heratilu knelt down directly
He fell to the ground and nodded, "Why, you haven't said anything yet?" Heratilu shook his head quickly, "Don't tell me." "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"" Heratilu kowtowed anxiously.
Zhang Huahan smiled inwardly, "Boy, I see you being so tough on me, I just pretended that I didn't see you being so stuffy that you couldn't speak. Let's see if you still dare not to tell the truth."
After removing the feces, straw and rags from Herati's mouth with a small shovel, Zhang Huahan directly poured pepper water into his mouth, "Well, vomiting." He was vomiting and had tears and mucus flowing from his nose.
It was easy to calm down, and he hurriedly said: "I said, I said everything, I ran away from Lanshan Village, and Lanshan Village is now filled with landlords, rich people and their servants who were forced away by you within a hundred miles.
People, they wanted to come back for revenge, so they asked me to find out the truth. I took their money and was going to go out for a walk and then go back. Unexpectedly, I was kidnapped by two bandits."
Zhang Huahan asked many more questions, and Heratilu answered them all truthfully. He was afraid that this guy would torture him again. He originally wanted to be tough first and then soft, to show that he still had some backbone, but he didn't expect that this guy would not follow the rules.
Come on, just stop talking and tie your mouth to stop talking. He doesn’t dare to lie anymore.dd
