Chapter 64 A good start in the first battle
  Hearing the screams of the county magistrate and his wife who were being forced to pay for their wages coming from next door, the garrison general shivered with fright, sat down on the ground, covered his face and wailed: "What is this? Damn it for Dashun." , you have to bring your own dog food. How can such a thing happen in this world? Are you still being unreasonable? Robbers, what a bunch of robbers."

Just when he was hesitant, frightened and uneasy, there was a thud in the yard and someone jumped into the yard.

It was broken, the house leaked, and it rained all night, and there was a burglar in the house. The thieves have all stolen to the garrison general's house. This is really an era where bandits are rampant.

The guard was shocked: "Who, who?"

A calm voice sounded: "Master Qianhu, don't be afraid, I'm the Jinyi Guard of the Ming Dynasty."

Having said that, this guard is even more frightened. The Jin Yiwei of the Ming Dynasty make people talk about it. If the Jin Yiwei comes to an official's home, it is equivalent to the arrival of black and white.

The guard immediately pulled his neck and shouted: "Come here, soldiers, soldiers, where are they dead?"

As a result, this Jin Yiwei, dressed in casual clothes, walked up to him majestically: "My Lord Qianhu, stop shouting. The two soldiers at your door have been captured by my brothers."

"You, you, what are you going to do?"

"Master Qianhu, get up and talk. The ground is cold. Don't get your stomach broken."

Only then did the guard remember that his feelings were still sitting on the ground.

It was difficult to get up, but facing Jin Yiwei, the king of hell, his legs were weak and he couldn't get up no matter what. There was no other way, the Jin Yiwei stretched out his hand to give him a hand.

Facing this powerful hand, the guard did not dare to stretch out his hand. He simply changed to a kneeling posture and defended on his knees: "Sir, I surrendered to Dashun because I was forced to have no choice. My life was hard, and I was harmed by the bandits. .”

"I know, I know. I'm not here to pursue you for surrendering to the bandits. Our family's acting commander, King Ding, has stipulated that officials who surrendered to the bandits will not be held accountable. Those who have harmed the people in the past will not be held responsible for the most heinous crimes. Overturned. You are not guilty, now we are equal, get up."

"Really?"

"Our family has decided that Wang Li will keep his word. All your original sins have been forgiven."

The guard then stretched out his hand and held Jin Yiwei's hand. The hand was firm, warm and strong.

He got up and asked carefully: "Then this time, sir, come -"

"King Ding has led an army of 60,000 to recover Shandong, and the king's division will arrive soon. I am sent by King Ding to ask you in advance, whether you will continue to serve as a guard for the rogue bandits, or whether you are willing to return to the Ming Dynasty and continue to Be your Qianhu. Just say something to me."

The guard cried, just like a child who sees his mother. So wronged, so sad.

"Don't cry first, tell me what you think first."

This Qianhu fell to his knees: "I don't want to be a bullshit guard for rogue bandits. I want to return to the Ming Dynasty. Even if Qianhu doesn't do it, I still want to return to the Ming Dynasty."

The royal guard pulled him up and said, "Welcome home."

These heart-warming words once again let this thousand households break through.

"Okay, don't cry. Tell me how many rogue soldiers there are in the city."

The Qianhu replied: "There are hundreds of rogue bandits in the city."

"How many soldiers do you have?"

"This thousand households have three hundred soldiers."

The Jin Yiwei covered his face and said: "Thousand households have three hundred soldiers?"

This Qianhu household felt aggrieved and argued: "The Ming Dynasty's armaments have been depleted for more than a day or two. It has been a year or two since the guardsmen were not given money and food. If I hadn't asked these military households to work as long-term tenants for me, they would all have starved to death." ”

"That's not right. According to the rules of the imperial court, it is turned over to the Ministry of Household Affairs every year. In the fiscal revenue of the Ministry of War, isn't there a certain amount of money and food expenses left for the guardhouse?" The Qianhu household smiled bitterly: "The rules are the rules, but which civil servant would treat us Qiu Ba The military households took it seriously. They intercepted this part, but they all enriched those guys."

Then he heard the screams of the county magistrate and his wife not far away, like slaughtering pigs, with a glint of schadenfreude in their eyes: "Last time, the bandits took 50,000 taels of cash from his house, and this time the amount given to him is Hand over another 20,000 taels. If you don’t hand over, hey hey hey.”

Hearing the screams of the county magistrate and his wife as if they were slaughtering pigs, the Jin Yiwei couldn't help but sigh: "It's the same forced payment, but these gangsters are much more ruthless than our prince, they are just a bunch of robbers. Ah, by the way, they are robbers in the first place. Then It’s their job, Dongchang is still too amateurish.”

Then facing this Qianhu: "Since you are willing to return to the Ming Dynasty, do you dare to lead your soldiers and kill the one hundred bandits in the city? This is your first contribution to the city?"

This Qianhu was adamant and answered directly: "I don't dare."

After blurting out the words, I felt that I was too spineless, so I quickly explained: "It's not that I don't dare, I just can't do it. I want to do it, but my strength doesn't allow it."

The Jinyiwei was surprised: "You have three hundred soldiers, but you can't defeat a hundred bandits?"

"I said, my three hundred soldiers are actually my long-term tenants. They have been a group of common people for a long time, how can they have any fighting strength."

"Forget it, then just wait for the army to arrive and open the door to dedicate the city."

"Sir, can you help me when we open the city?"

Seeing this guy pushing his limits, this Jin Yiwei brother really wanted to take out his Xiuchun knife and chop him. But thinking about it, in order to seize the city smoothly, I can only nod: "Okay, I brought ten brothers, and I will help you open the city when the time comes."

With a desperate fighting spirit, Lu Mou's army rushed to Haifeng. As a result, the city gate was opened, and a group of beggar bee pupae ran out of the city gate.

Just as he was stunned, suddenly a well-dressed man in front of him, with a head that looked like a beggar, shouted: "Master Wang, quickly send troops to reinforce the Jinyiwei brothers who have occupied the city gate."

When he shouted, Lu Mou was shocked. He looked up and sure enough, a group of people were fighting in the city gate.

Without hesitation, he immediately ordered: "Commander Zhu, quickly send a battalion to seize the city gate."

Zhu Changxun did not hesitate, and immediately waved his saber: "Pioneer Camp, follow me to seize the city gate." He went up himself.

The bandit leader who was fighting in the city gate cave immediately dropped his weapon without hesitation when he saw the official army coming. "I surrender, I surrender."

Haifeng was easily obtained at the cost of killing one Jin Yiwei and injuring three others.

After entering the city, go directly to the county government office. As a result, they saw the dying county magistrate and his wife hanging from the beams in the lobby.

After confiscating the money used by the gangsters, they received 110,000 silver.

When the county magistrate saw it, he reached out and begged for it: "I have 50,000 yuan there, give it back to me."

Lu Mou sneered: "That's what I captured. If you want your money, go find the bandits."

At that time, the county magistrate rolled his eyes and was furious.

Reports of the separate attacks on two other county towns also came back, and almost all of them were captured without bloodshed.

This must be attributed to Liu Fangliang. He only had a main force of 100,000 and had to strictly guard Dayi, the thoroughfare. He could only rely on the surrendered Ming army to defend the small town. But not long after the Ming army surrendered, they were forced to pay, which had already caused people's dissatisfaction and complaints. Seeing the king's army coming again, there was no fighting spirit, and the result was surrender in the blink of an eye.

The salt war got off to a good start.
