I have a cornucopia

Chapter 180 Your shamelessness caught me off guard

Zhengyangmen.

"Damn it, what are you doing?"

Hao Xiaozhong stood on the city wall and looked at the Shanchuan Altar outside the city with doubts.

The two sides have occupied a city wall and have been facing each other for several months with a tacit understanding. During this period, there has not been a real attack by the Ming army outside the city.

Of course, there was not a single attack in the city.

At most, they just occasionally shoot each other out for fun.

They were enjoying themselves in the city, indulged in sexual activities every day, and gave countless cuckolds to the nobles. Naturally, they couldn't bear to part with the beauties from the south of the Yangtze River in their arms, and the soldiers outside were not interested in risking their lives to rush to this city wall, which can be called the strongest in ancient times, let alone Because of the full support of the gentry behind them, the armies outside the city have sufficient food supplies, and even military pay is not in arrears...

Don't dare to default.

Liu Liangzuo committed all kinds of crimes in Jiangbei, including burning, killing, and looting.

Not much.

After all the ceremonial guards were arranged, a high chair was placed in the middle, and then a red-robed official with a rather strong figure walked onto the stage...

But he turned around and froze.

"Quick, aim at him!"

Hao Xiaozhong said.

Hao Xiaozhong instantly kicked him over.

"Commander, look!"

shouted an officer.

"Let's take a look. I guess we won't be able to fight today. Keep an eye on it. I'm going to have some fun first. This little beauty from the Anyuanhou family hasn't tasted it yet, so don't worry about it."

Especially after Gao Jie's subordinates all defected to join Liu Liangzuo and happily burned, killed, and looted together, the Suzhou Elders Association took the initiative to contact various places and pooled money to give soldiers in each army one tael of silver per month as military pay.

On the Qinhuai River south of the Shanchuan Altar, boats transporting soldiers and cannons stretch endlessly. On the pier on the opposite bank, you can even see Hongyi cannons pushing towards the Yuhuatai, while a wooden wooden platform is being built on the Shanchuan Altar here. The platform looks like a watchtower overlooking the city, but the problem is that it is completely redundant, and it is not impossible to see it from the Yuhuatai.

one of his officers asked.

But today it's clear that's all over.

"Commander, are you going to fight or not?"

It's still safe there.

"Zuozhuguo, the right deputy censor of the capital procuratorate, the right minister of the Ministry of War, the scholar supervisor of Dongge University, Jiliao Zhenbao, Shandong Yang, Yang Feng?"

He said.

Many soldiers have gained weight.

Several officers around him laughed.

There were screams from behind.

Then let’s play Kou!
It's not like Gao Jie doesn't know how to play bandits.

"Stop laughing, I'll reward you later!"

Under such circumstances, the Jiangnan gentry was really bleeding. Elderly associations in various places not only quickly raised enough military pay, but also purchased large quantities of military rations from outside, including canned goods from Shandong and shipped them to Nanjing.

Any senior citizen in the Suzhou Elderly Association can take out this money, and even part of it can be paid out continuously for one or two years.

Then he walked towards the tower with a happy smile, where the beautiful woman he had just snatched from the house of Liu Changzuo, the Marquis of Anyuan, was crying.

The advantage here is that transportation is convenient. Even if there is not enough food downstream, as long as there is money, the Jiangxi gentry will have it.

Hao Xiaozhong said.

he said angrily.

A red umbrella cover was erected on the wooden platform of the Shanchuan Altar. He hurriedly returned to the female wall, took the telescope from the officer's hand, and looked at the silver light above the umbrella cover. The red umbrella cover with a silver top was not The first grade is the second grade. At the same time, more ceremonial guards, including the Wang Ming flag, came onto the stage. At the same time, there was a group of soldiers pushing shields. However, this was of limited use here. After all, the Hongyi cannon could be directly bombarded from this distance.

Especially the poor people he newly recruited are working happily.

"Damn it, what a fart!"

Isn’t it just an extra 100,000 yuan a month?

A large number of gentry's wealth in Chuzhou, Tianchang and other places were looted, their wives and daughters were directly arrested and used as camp prostitutes, and many gentry were even exterminated. These rebels are showing the gentry in Jiangnan what troubled times are and what doomsday catastrophe is. In this case, it all depends on Ma Shiying and Gao Jie and others to support Nanjing. But Gao Jie and his like are no different in nature from Liu Liangzuo. If their adequate supply cannot be guaranteed, causing their shaky loyalty to collapse, then it will not be Liu Liangzuo's hundreds of thousands of people who are bloodbathed in Jiangnan, but Zuo Liangyu, Gao Jie and others combined There are more than 200,000 hungry wolves.

he said angrily.

In this case……

"Idiot, I haven't seen him for months, and he got promoted right after he came out. What do you think he did?"

In the end, those inside were drinking their wine and playing with their women in the nobles' homes, while those outside were busy working on their meals.

The money was sent over and then flowed down the river.

"Little beauty, here I come!"

The Shanchuan Altar is completely covered by cannons on the city wall. The place where the wooden platform is built is only half a mile away from the city wall, and most of the cannons at Zhengyang Gate can reach it.

Hao Xiaozhong screamed.

The officers immediately sobered up.

Indeed, Yang Feng was previously the right deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the right minister of the Ministry of War, Governor Ji Liao. He had not shown up for several months, but now he has reappeared as a bachelor's inspector, and he has added an astonishing addition to his twenties. After Zuo Zhuguo, there is almost no more that can be added, and if you add more, you will have to be knighted, so what did he do in the past few months to get promoted to such a crazy level...

The eyes of Hao Xiaozhong and his officers all turned to fear.

There is only one explanation.

He defeated Dorgon.

Moreover, Dorgon has not arrived yet, which has already caused panic in the army. However, Ma Shiying's blockade is too tight, and they still cannot know the situation outside. Nanjing has a huge outer city wall, which makes the outside world panic. The blockade is very easy. As long as there are enough troops and the outer city wall is alert, the message transmission can basically be completely blocked. Ma Shiying has only one request for the armies. The recapture of Nanjing can wait until Yang Feng returns, but during this period it is Not a single dog is allowed beyond the outer walls.

"Go and report to the prince quickly."

Hao Xiaozhong stood there and struggled for a moment, then suddenly said as if he had made up his mind.

The officers looked at each other, and only one officer turned around immediately, but at the same time, Hao Xiaozhong pulled out a knife and stabbed him directly in the back.

The officer turned back blankly and looked at his commander in chief.

"Open the city gate"

Hao Xiaozhong said with a sneer.

Then he pulled out the knife while the officer watched intently.

"Commander, are you in a hurry?"

an officer said cautiously.

"Urgent? If you don't rush, there will be no first achievement. Do you think we are the only ones smart and the others don't understand?" Hao Xiaozhong said.

"Commander, look what is that?"

Another scream sounded.

He hurriedly raised his binoculars. In front of the wooden platform, a wooden frame with a cross tied at the top was being erected, and a person was nailed to the wooden frame...

"Hurry, open the door quickly, open the door quickly, it's Zuo Menggeng, Ma. Fortunately, he is coming to our side!"

Holding the telescope, he shouted anxiously, and even kicked his subordinates in a hurry.

His officers ran down in panic, and someone kept stepping on the only guy who still thought about Zuo Liangyu...

"Hey, this reaction is too fast, I haven't raised Zuo Mengeng yet!"

Yang Feng looked at the opened city gate in shock.

Indeed, Zuo Mengeng was still standing up. In order to show it clearly, he specially made a stand more than ten meters high. It took some time to put up such a stand, so the soldiers behind him were still shouting slogans and continuing to pull it. The rope pulls the shelf upward. But Yang Feng really didn't expect that the city gate would open at this time, and they definitely weren't coming out to fight. Those who were leaving the city were all running and shouting. Soon a general was riding a horse inside the city gate, driving away those who were blocking the way. , rushing towards this side. On the city wall above his head, the cannons that originally stretched out of the parapet were being dragged back quickly. Even the soldiers pulling the rope were confused by this scene. They were all stunned and didn't know whether they should continue to pull.

The retinue guarding the wooden platform immediately stepped forward, and soon the general came over with dozens of officers escorted by his retinue.

They all knelt down as soon as they reached the stage.

"The guilty minister, Jiujiang Commander-in-Chief Hao Xiaozhong, went to see Zhuguo. The guilty minister was coerced by Zuo Ni, and he thought about it day and night. Anyway, seeing Zhuguo today is like seeing his parents!"

The general cried.

Then he kept kowtowing in the dirt very excitedly.

"Come up all, your shamelessness caught me off guard."

Yang Feng said.

Hao Xiaozhong and others pretended not to understand, quickly put on a frightened posture, and then walked onto the stage with a smiling face...

"Kneel down."

Yang Feng sat there, holding a tea cup and saying seductively like a flower.

Hao Xiaozhong and others knelt down again without hesitation.

"Wipe your own neck. I think you are sensible. I will leave a whole body for you."

Yang Feng continued to speak enchantingly.

Hao Xiaozhong and others broke into cold sweat instantly.

"Zhu, Zhu country, the last general is willing to serve the Zhu country with all his hard work. Apart from other things, the last general has some skills in fighting on this battlefield."

He said tremblingly.

He really never thought this would happen!

Yang Feng's reputation has always been good, especially for military generals, and he recruits military generals without discrimination. He treats them equally regardless of whether they are under Li Fuming or Bai Guangen. That's why Hao Xiaozhong can make a prompt decision and come out to celebrate without hesitation. Ying Wangshi, but why did he suddenly change?

"Are you capable enough to say this in front of me?"

Yang Feng said proudly.

"Zhuguo, please be kind to Zhuguo. If Zhuguo kills us, who will dare to surrender in the future? Zhuguo, the small one has one million taels hidden in the city. I would like to offer it to Zhuguo. Zhuguo, there are still 1 million taels on the city tower. There is a beautiful woman who also pays filial piety to Zhu Guo."

Hao Xiaozhong cried.

But at the same time, he made a gesture, and the officers stood up suddenly and rushed towards Yang Feng without hesitation. Because of the close distance and the lack of reaction from the surrounding followers, they drowned Yang Feng in an instant. Hao Xiaozhong rushed at the fastest speed He got up, but before he could rush up, two officers screamed and flew up, one of them was hitting him. He was also a strong man, so he instinctively pushed aside, but at the same time, along with Yang With Feng's roar, the officers fell down one after another...

"I'm curious, what exactly do you want to do?"

Yang Feng, an officer in charge, looked at the stunned Hao Xiaozhong ferociously.

Then he hit the two officers' heads against each other, and when the latter's brains burst out, he threw the dead body away.

Hao Xiaozhong stood there dumbfounded, not knowing whether to move forward or run away...

"Little, little wish, I wish to commit suicide."

He said with trembling lips.

"late!"

Yang Feng said frankly.

The next moment he appeared in front of Hao Xiaozhong, who instinctively punched out, but was immediately caught by him. Like a violent gorilla, Yang Feng grabbed Hao Xiaozhong's arm and roared, then violently swung it. , and then hit those officers. The injured ones all struggled and tried to escape, but were pushed back by the surrounding guards with shields. Yang Feng picked up Hao Xiaozhong and smashed him wildly. The latter was also covered in blood and flesh, and was visibly broken...

Yang Feng, who finally beat all the officers to death, dragged the broken Hao Zhongzhong and proudly walked off the stage with his attendants and honor guards, until he walked up to the stunned Hao soldiers.

"What are you looking at? Don't you want to be a pioneer for the king's master? Or do you want to be like him?"

He threw the broken Hao Xiaozhong forward and shouted.

Hao's soldiers suddenly woke up, turned around and rushed towards the city gate, shouting without hesitation...

"Zhazha!"

Yang Feng said.

Of course he would not keep Hao Xiaozhong and others.

Zuo Liangyu's generals must be purged. No matter what they have done in history, they must be purged now.

Because they have no transformation value.

Everything about these guys has been finalized, and unless a miracle happens, they will not change. At this point, they are not as good as those who were born as bandits, because they always have a desire for justice in their hearts, just like Song Jiang who worked tirelessly to recruit people. Because they were rebels and thieves, after surrendering to the court, they became more and more eager to be the good officials they imagined. This is why even Gao Jie's subordinates just wanted Shi Kefa to adopt his son as his adopted son after his death. Then they were willing to continue to follow the Ming Dynasty. They did not want to change from thieves to prisoners, and they were still a little ashamed, but Shi Kefa refused, saying that they were only qualified to have eunuchs as their sons, which shattered their last illusion.

Therefore, those who were born as rogues are easier to reform, and it is easier to turn them into relatively upright ones.

However, it is difficult to reform those who came from the government and military backgrounds, because they have always been angry with the civil servants and the gentry.

They are those who have become blackened, and they vent after their success.

Let them return to observing order, obeying the court, and not burning, killing, and looting. Instead, they will become resentful and dissatisfied...

So they all like me, the Qing Dynasty, who indulges them in burning, killing, and looting, and even takes them with them to burn, kill, and loot.

Holy Lord, Mingjun!
But the civil servants and gentry who controlled Nanming wanted them to abide by the rules, so they kept surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, and then followed the Qing Dynasty to burn, kill and loot.

Moreover, it can be said that these major generals under Zuo Liangyu have spent their entire lives in the big dye vat of the official army.

They are familiar with all the tricks, keep them, continue to use them, they will continue these tricks.

Ultimately destroying a system from within.

Yang Feng didn't want his subordinates to be familiar with officialdom conflicts, mutual harm, and even friendly forces who were in trouble.

At this time, the Hao soldiers had already rushed into the Zhengyang Gate, met with those who had just come down from the city wall, and rushed straight to the Hongwu Gate in front. Behind them were Yang Feng's followers, and behind them were rushing towards the city gate. Various regiments and officers and soldiers were trained, and Nanjing was actually opened up like this.
