Anti-Qing: Starting from the Reincarnation of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 29 Tunnels and Peace of People

A large number of Ming soldiers swarmed into the Yang family mansion.

The strong men of the Yang family, who could barely fight against the Ming army through high walls, collapsed after the Ming army entered the Yang family mansion.

A man named Zhuang from the Yang family looked at the Ming troops swarming in. In fear, they all chose to throw away their weapons, turn around and run away.

A soldier named Ming followed closely behind these fleeing young men of the Yang family and massacred them.

They were stabbed with spears and chopped with broadswords. From time to time, some young men from the Yang family who were running away were killed and thrown to the ground.

The screams kept ringing.

"Kill! Kill!"

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng! Ming Dynasty Wan Sheng!"

"..."

The Ming army shouted and charged forward with high morale.

Because all of them could see that victory was just around the corner.

It’s really hard for them not to be excited about this!
Zhang Hu held a knife in one hand and a shield in the other. He rushed forward with a bang and hit a young man from the Yang family who was still waiting to fight back. He took several steps back, his body's center of gravity was unstable, and then he collapsed on his butt. on the ground.

Before the young man from the Yang family could react, a cold light flashed through his eyes, and a line of blood appeared on his throat.

The skin and flesh were everted, the trachea and blood vessels were completely cut off, and blood spurted out from the wounds!

The clothes on Zhang Hu's body were stained red.

Zhang Hu didn't even blink at this and continued to lead his men to charge and beat him.

Destroying the last resistance of the Yang family's young men.

……

Mr. Yang's face was full of panic, and he was helped to escape towards the inner house.

Butler Niu's face was pale, and he kept mumbling while helping Master Yang run away.

"What can we do? How can we do this?"

On the other side, Mr. Yang's guard He Qiang said.

"Don't worry, sir, you are always kind to me. I almost starved to death, but you saved me with a bowl of broth."

"Even if I risk my life today, I will definitely protect you."

He Qiang used to be a member of the Cao Gang and made a living by helping people pull strings on the Grand Canal.

In order not to be bullied and to have someone to join him for warmth, he chose to join the Cao Gang, which was very powerful on the canal.

After joining the Caobang, He Qiang's life was indeed much easier because he was protected. At least if someone owed him wages, the Caobang could help him get it back.

Moreover, since He Qiang had the Cao Gang as his backer, no green-skinned gangster dared to bully and blackmail him anymore.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. In a subsequent gang fight, He Qiang accidentally killed someone.

When things got serious, the government issued an arrest warrant for him.

The boss of the Cao Gang couldn't protect He Qiang, so they could only give him a sum of money and let him run away to seek refuge elsewhere.

After that, He Qiang began to wander around, evading arrest by the government, claiming that he was a knight-errant.

But soon, all his money was spent on food, drinking, prostitution and gambling.

Almost starved to death in Jintian Town.

If Master Yang hadn't seen his skill and wanted to find a guard for him, so he gave him a bowl of broth. He Qiang would be a skeleton now.

Therefore, He Qiang is very grateful to Mr. Yang.

Now he is even more determined to protect Master Yang's safety.

Even if he risked his own life, Mr. Yang could not be harmed in the slightest.

"Go, go to my study. There is a tunnel inside that can lead to the outside of the town!"

Mr. Yang had sweat on his forehead and spoke with a trembling voice.

Upon hearing this, Butler Niu and He Qiang nodded together to express their understanding, and then supported Mr. Yang and strode towards the inner house.After a group of people ran to the inner house, they went straight to Master Yang's study.

Fighting between locals and foreigners is common in Guangxi. For their own safety, the Yang family ordered people to dig a tunnel in the owner's study very early, leading to the outside of Jintian Town.

Originally, Mr. Yang thought that his old man was overthinking it, but now it really comes in handy.

He Qiang took the lead and pushed open the study door. Then under Master Yang's instructions, he and Niu Butler worked together to push open the bookshelf blocking the wall.

There was a secret door hidden behind the bookshelf. Mr. Yang took out the key from his arms, opened the secret door, and then led people in.

He Qiang stayed behind. After everyone entered the tunnel, he moved the bookshelf back to its original position and closed the secret door.

Then lock the secret door from the inside.

Everything in the study room returned to its original state.

A group of people were walking in the tunnel in the dark, and a weak torch was the only light source in the tunnel.

From time to time, people fell down, but no one dared to stay, for fear that the bandits would discover the tunnel and catch up and kill them all...

……

As the Yang family mansion was captured by the Ming army, the Battle of Jintian Town finally came to an end.

While Zhu Jing'an commanded the Ming army to enter Jintian Town, he turned to Han Sigu and said to him.

"After ordering the army to enter the town, they must pay attention to maintaining military discipline and be sure to do no harm to the common people."

"But those who rob people of their property, rob people's women, kill people and set fires will be executed without mercy!"

"We will then send people to the town to read out the notices of peace of mind along the streets to stabilize people's hearts and strive to restore prosperity to the market of Jintian Town as soon as possible."

"Tell the people of Jintian Town that when the king enters the city, there will be no harm in the autumn. All industries and workers will be happy, and the common people of Li will enjoy peace."

When Han Sigu heard this, he cupped his fists and accepted the order.

"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, the general will understand!"

Zhu Jing'an heard this, nodded slightly, and then prepared to lead people into the town.

A soldier named Ming began to call for peace in the streets.

"When the king enters the city, there will be no harm in the autumn. All industries and workers will be happy, and the common people will enjoy peace."

"When the king enters the city, there will be no harm in the autumn. All industries and workers will be happy, and the common people will enjoy peace."

"..."

As the Ming army entered the town and called for peace of mind, the people in Jintian Town who were originally a little turbulent gradually calmed down.

Although the people inevitably still have doubts about the Ming army and feel fear, they can only be forced to accept the fact that Jintian Town was captured by the rebels.

Zhu Jing'an rode a pony and led the team into Jintian Town and went straight to the door of the Yang family's mansion.

Zhang Huzheng led a group of Ming army soldiers, standing in line with heads held high, waiting for Zhu Jing'an to arrive at the door of the Yang family mansion.

Seeing Zhu Jing'an coming on horseback, Zhang Hu took the initiative to take a few steps forward to greet him.

"I will finally meet the Governor!"

"Fortunately, thanks to the wise leadership of the Grand Governor and the united efforts of all the officers and men, our army can achieve this great victory. I will congratulate the Grand Governor and congratulate me on the great Ming Dynasty!"

Zhang Hu knelt down on one knee in front of Zhu Jing'an and said.

Zhang Hu had attended a private school for two years before he met Wang Lun, so he spoke in a refined manner.

Hearing this, Zhu Jing'an got off his horse, helped Zhang Hu up, and spoke.

"Commander Zhang, thank you for your hard work. I, Ming, can win this battle. Commander, you have done a great job!"

"When I turned around, I sent a letter to my father to ask for the title of Commander Zhang."

When Zhang Hu heard this, his face was filled with a smile that could not be concealed, and he hurriedly spoke.

"I escaped Master Yang in this battle and failed to make full achievements in one battle. I really deserve the reward I will receive in the end."
