Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 338 Breaking into Xi'an
The gate of Xi'an City was opened, and tens of thousands of peasant rebels poured into Xi'an City like a swarm of locusts!
"Kill cattle and sheep, prepare wine, and open the city gates to welcome Chuang Wang. When Chuang Wang comes, he will not pay food!" These peasant rebels were dressed in rags, shouting recently made up slogans, and the atmosphere was extremely frenzied.

Thousands of Xi'an city guards who surrendered knelt on the ground, watching helplessly as the rogues entered Xi'an city.Although they chanted pleasant slogans, once they entered the city, they immediately showed their true colors with green faces and fangs, burning, killing and looting everywhere.In particular, some big families in the city became the targets of looting by the peasant uprising army.

Flames and black smoke rose from this thousand-year-old capital, and tens of thousands of people fell into mourning...

Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang rode on a tall horse, but he was not in a hurry to enter the city.He still can't believe that the largest city outside Tongguan would fall into his hands one day.Since then, the spring breeze has not passed through Tongguan, and the three hundred miles of Qinchuan land is his territory.

"King Chuang, how powerful are you? I didn't expect that you actually captured Xi'an City. In the future, you will enter the capital eastward and destroy the imperial court. It's just around the corner." Laid down.

"Hehe, King Chuang has 36 subordinates, and our [-]th Battalion combined is only [-]. In the future, King Chuang will be the only one to follow." said Luo Rucai, the leader of the peasant uprising army who called himself "Cao Cao".

"Brother Luo, what are you talking about? The brothers of our 36th Battalion are allied by blood, advance and retreat together, regardless of each other, whoever comes first." Gao Yingxiang said with a frown.However, the corner of his mouth could not restrain the slight arrogance.

"Hmph. This time we captured the city of Xi'an, and Li Zicheng's Musketeer Battalion won the first place. As for you, brother, I'm afraid you have only 4 horses because of the prestige of the general." Luo Rucai sneered.

"What Luo Rucai said was that among the 36 Chuang Wangs, we only admire the Chuang generals and the [-] Musketeers Battalion!" said the brothers from the other [-] battalions.

Gao Yingxiang was a little unhappy when he heard it: "The general Li Zicheng was my deployment. I have a keen eye to recognize talents, so I have the Musketeer Battalion. Don't drive us apart. Now that we have just won Qinchuan, the imperial court will definitely be shocked and send troops to send generals." Come to suppress, if our 36th Battalion does not work together, we will definitely suffer a big loss."

"King Chuang better be careful, otherwise you won't know when your life is gone. You 4 people may not be able to defeat Li Zicheng's musketeer battalion." Luo Rucai sneered.

"Where is Li Zicheng?" Zhang Xianzhong asked.

"The Musketeer Battalion is the main force in this battle. They used artillery to blow down the city wall and enter the city. Li Zicheng took the lead, which is much better than you people who can only talk empty words here." Gao Yingxiang said coldly.

In the city of Xi'an, Li Zicheng personally led his troops to kill the most affluent area in Xi'an city.

"The first brigade occupies the left street, the second brigade occupies the right street, and blocks the streets. Anyone who dares to rob our gun camp, whether it is our own or not, will be killed!" Li Zicheng led his soldiers to take the lead in capturing the rich area. Silver's desire drove him extremely crazy.

"My lord, it's fine if you know that King Chuang will not come to greet us, but you dare to hide in the cellar! Hurry up and hand over your family's silver and valuable possessions, otherwise the men will be slaves and the women will be slaves!" Li Zicheng's subordinates went to the big households and found out the big households who were hiding in a hurry.

These big families were dragged out like livestock, their bodies smelled bad, and they were so frightened that they lost control of themselves.

"These hateful country gentry and profiteers should all be executed! Let them obediently surrender all their wealth to ransom their lives, and kill them if they are less than 100." Li Zicheng sent troops to scrape the ground in Dahu District.

The remaining soldiers of the 36th Battalion saw Li Zicheng's troops occupying the Dahu area to search from a distance, and they did not dare to provoke them, so they had to plunder the people in other areas.Chuang Jiang's Musketeer Battalion has repelled countless attacks by officers and soldiers in the past two years, and even this time in Xi'an City, the Musketeer Battalion has made the most contribution. Dare to compete with the Musketeer Battalion for spoils.

"Boss, this time we have made a fortune. The rich people in Qinchuan have basically fled here. They can at least copy 10 taels of silver, and there are countless other gold and silver wares!" One of Li Zicheng's generals said excitedly, " Especially the dog officials here are so rich that there is simply not enough food for the family!"

"These dog officials, most of the disaster relief funds given to us by the imperial court were embezzled by them. If they dare to take away what belongs to us, their end will only be a dead end!" Li Zicheng said, "Drag them to the vegetable market and behead them for public display. !"

Beside Li Zicheng, a general in armor looked at all this indifferently, as if it had nothing to do with him.

"Zhang Yuan, if you hadn't cleared up the relationship and smuggled these artillery from outside the pass this time, I'm afraid we would not be able to capture Xi'an City. Tell me, what reward do you want? Silver or a woman? You can pick whatever you want!" Li Zicheng saw Fenghou He patted the shoulder of the indifferent general heroically, and said enthusiastically.

"No, this time the brothers trusted me and fought desperately to win the final victory and let us take over Qinchuan. I don't need anything, I just want to assist Brother Li to achieve the emperor's hegemony." Zhang Yuan said.

"Being the emperor, haha, it's too far away. We have just gained a foothold in Qinchuan. The imperial court still has millions of troops. It's hard to say whether we can persist." Li Zicheng laughed at himself, "Maybe in a few decades, my Only descendants can accomplish this.”

"If the eldest brother can follow the younger brother's strategy, within three to five years, the capital can be conquered, and the change of dynasty will be just around the corner!" Zhang Yuan said indifferently.

After hearing Zhang Yuan's words, Li Zicheng felt a little embarrassed: "Brother Zhang Xian is a great talent, your strategy can be described as shocking, and it is not far from Zhuge Liang's Longzhong in the Three Kingdoms period. It's just that Gao Yingxiang is my superior, and the 36th Battalion You are my brothers again, if I annex them, what will the world think of me in the future?"

"Brother's words are wrong. Now the 36th Battalion seems to have a great momentum, but in fact it is fragmented and scattered. Those who are capable of fighting are just our Musket Battalion. Let them waste food in vain!" Zhang Yuan said coldly.

"My dear brother, don't say that, at least it's my brother..." Li Zicheng said.

"If elder brother insists on being with these fools, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve great things. Please forgive my stupid brother and leave." Zhang Yuan snorted coldly and was about to leave.
