Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

After Liu Zeqing beheaded people, the morale of the subordinates was really high. Twenty or so heads were placed there, with blood flowing, which was a warning to people. It is better to fight for them than to be beheaded. There is no way to die. .

With such thoughts in mind, everyone turned red-eyed and ran forward desperately.

This time, there was still a lot of gunfire, and a lot of people were knocked down along the way, but the forwards who charged forward still moved forward without any hesitation. In this way, the speed increased greatly, and after two rounds of gunfire, they were already approaching long base.

It's still a sword against a bayonet, but this time they are desperate.

As a result, the spearmen on the barricades gradually suffered casualties, and after a while, many soldiers from the Liu Department stood on the barricades, their swords flying, and began to fight with the regiments. [

"This group of guys, if they don't force each other with death, how can they fight with death?"

Seeing such a result, Liu Zeqing was of course very satisfied, and when he saw the musketeers start to retreat, he was even happier in his heart.

Gao Hu retreated with his men, Caozhou soldiers wanted to chase after him, but there were more than [-] musketeers standing up below. After Gao Hu and others retreated from both sides, more than [-] people fired together. It knocked over the ground, and the rest hurriedly lay on the ground, not daring to chase anymore.

Although he stopped chasing him, at least he took down this nasty long base. For a moment, including Liu Zeqing, all Caozhou soldiers cheered.

It's just that amidst the cheers, the forwards who got on the base looked embarrassed and didn't have any expressions of joy, while the common people watching the battle from high places around them burst out laughing.

Of course there was something wrong with this, Liu Zeqing immediately woke up.He didn't hesitate, and his skills were considered nimble, he climbed up the long base in two or three strokes, and when he looked forward, he almost fainted.

Less than 400 paces away, a longer and higher barricade was in front of it. Not only were the gunmen on top occupying the middle, but on the road walls and tall buildings on both sides, there were businessmen with guns everywhere. At first glance, there may not be as many as three or four hundred people.

Just less than 60 people opened fire, and more than 20 people helped to load guns. Due to terrain restrictions, only so many people can be used at most. Going inside, there are more buildings and more room for display. Replace it with at least 300 people. The gunners, coupled with 200 people helping to load the guns, this time, the fun will be great.

"Oh, it's over..."

Rao Liu Zeqing is strong-minded, he is simply an indomitable little strong person. Although everything has not gone well since he left Caozhou, he has never given up his plan to control Jinan and then control half of the mountains and rivers in Shandong. Liu Zeqing felt a sense of powerlessness towards the regiment hired by hundreds of businessmen who he regarded as guardsmen and thugs.

In his eyes, patches of blood appeared, as if he could see thousands of his subordinates being beaten to pieces under the guns of these regiments, the blood flowed like a river, and when a gun came over, it was a ball The blood mist, hundreds of firecrackers, are enough to bloom clusters of blood flowers on the long street, and everything in front of me is nothing but blood.

"Marshal, this can't be attacked, this plan can't be attacked!"

There are barricades in the middle, tall buildings and courtyard walls on both sides. This place is full of wealthy families. The courtyard walls are tall and thick. On top of this, you can calmly fire guns and support the middle. The soldiers of Wan Dabing are all elites, and they will have to pay a heavy price if they want to capture the positions guarded by these hundreds of people.

A group of generals from the Liu Department, including Liu Yuanqing, were unanimous in their determination not to continue the fight.

"Can't fight, Laoziwei!"

As soon as the words came out, Liu Zeqing himself knew it was a joke. The chamber of commerce area is the most prosperous city center in Jinan, with a radius of five or six miles, and it is the largest area in Jinan city. There are hundreds of thousands of people in such a place. Wan, there are still a large number of gentry and merchants, how many soldiers and horses will it take to surround them?

"On both sides of the long street, the intersections and passes must be tight and surrounded!"

His own face must never be lost. Liu Zeqing's eyes darkened for a while, his chest felt stuffy for a while, his head was buzzing, and he was so heavy that he couldn't lift his head up. After giving the order, his own general They led their troops to execute the military order and guarded several roads around the chamber of commerce, so that even if they "sieged" the chamber of commerce, they couldn't say what the effect would be.

On the contrary, the first barricade that blocked the army for a long time was dismantled and leveled, and it was wiped out, which was regarded as a breath of evil. [

Liu Jun's archers suppressed the group members on the second base of the merchant group by shooting upwards when they were dismantling them. Unfortunately, the distance was too far, and the arrows were so light that they had little power and almost no lethality at all.

If you tell them to get closer, these archers are not stupid, their firecrackers are so sharp, would they go up to die?Before the bald base was dismantled, there were a few small cannons on the second base, with tiger claws gripping the ground, wasn't it just a tiger crouching cannon with shotguns?

Two hundred steps away, the tiger squatting cannon was not very powerful, so the regiments just held up the torches and did not release them. This also relieved the archers and wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads... If you just moved forward, I'm afraid someone else's cannons are coming. No matter how strong the bow and arrow are, can they beat the artillery?

"Donkeys can do it, get out."

"The dog soldiers of Caozhou, I'll give you a brick to try."

"I don't want money, but I have bricks and tiles, so take them!"

The Tuan Ding won again and again, and after setting up the formation, Caozhou didn't even plan to try to attack. Of course, the men of Qi and Lu couldn't look at such a cowardly method. Coupled with the fierce fighting of the Tuan Ding, the arrogance of Caozhou's soldiers was suppressed. , So on the tile-roofed houses on the surrounding roofs, there are people shouting and cursing everywhere. Many men are simply shirtless, holding some half-drawn bricks, and smashing broken tiles down on their heads.

"Damn it, Marshal, send troops to suppress them."

A group of generals surrounded Liu Zeqing in the middle, of course tiles and bricks couldn't hit them, but the feeling was enough, some people couldn't take it right now and wanted to call in archers to fight back.

Liu Zeqing, who has always been unforgiving, looked pale and was supported by several relatives. He just shook his head slightly and sighed: "The people's hearts are no longer attached. If we kill some more, we can only walk with our heads covered in Jinan City. Now, even if you give me the commander-in-chief, can you still be the commander-in-chief?"

Having said that, the person who suggested it was sweating profusely and dared not say anything more.

Amidst what seemed to be the curse of the people in Hecheng, several hundred soldiers escorted Liu Zeqing away slowly.This place is no longer a war that can be resolved in a short period of time. It is bound to be limited to a long-term struggle and confrontation. Caozhou is at a loss for such a thing, and the consequences have already made Liu Zeqing and others irritated I don't want to think about it... It's useless to run into a wall again and again. The officials in Beijing and the officials and gentry in Shandong must have already made such a decision, right?

"Brother, if it doesn't work, let's go back to Yanzhou."

By Liu Zeqing's side, Liu Yuanqing comforted him ramblingly, but it was also quite effective. In any case, could he be more down and out than when he started?Go back to Yanzhou and explain to those aristocratic families well, maybe you can get back on your feet again.

These years, seeing that the situation of the Ming Dynasty is not as good as every year, who can say clearly what will happen in the future?

"Yuanqing, you don't have to stay in Jinan anymore."

When he was about to return to the station, Liu Zeqing grabbed Liu Yuanqing's hand, and said in a deep voice: "There are still thousands of people in my Chinese army, and they are the most reliable ones. They have been with me the longest and are the most able to fight. These cavalry, go back to Caozhou."

"Big brother..."

"It's useless for me to ask for cavalry here. Leave me one or two hundred cavalry. When I really need them, I'm afraid that's when I'll run away. If I can save my life, it's useless if there are too many people."

Liu Zeqing laughed at himself, and the whole person suddenly became lifeless again. At this time, Zhang Pu was completely unreliable, and the soldiers were also unreliable. , Will there be any changes in the situation in Jinan as a whole?

Of course, he also understands that this is just a delusion that has never been hopeless...

...[

……

"My lord, seal this city, take down all these bastards, and burn this town."

While Zhang Shouren was listening to Du Fuhu and Lin Wenyuan's talk about the human market, Sun Liangdong regained his strength, squeezed to Zhang Shouren's side, and suggested through gritted teeth.

"What about after it's sealed?"

"Let's release the relief, my lord." Sun Liangdong's eyes were also rare, and he said extremely eagerly: "The matter will be handled by the future, and I will never let my lord worry about everything."

"How much rations are left? There is still more than half of the journey to go. What if the rations are not enough?"

All the generals present who asked in one sentence felt helpless.In any case, military rations must be guaranteed, otherwise, everyone would have to drink the northwest wind and go back.

Zhang Shouren nodded lightly, and said to the generals, "Army rations are only one aspect, but my greater purpose is to let you see the suffering of the people and feel why Daming has become what it is today. The root lies in Where, where is the problem, walk all the way, look all the way, see everything clearly..."

Before he could finish his words, there was a sudden commotion in the market, and everyone in the whole market jumped up and down. Many meat stalls hurriedly put away their things. Even so, many of them were left behind less than.

These common people were still indifferent when they saw a small number of soldiers, but at the end of the market, there was a group of guards holding iron chains and iron rulers. There were not many of them, only 20 people, plus the leader who led the way and the head of the village. There are less than 30 characters.

It's just such a small number of people, but it scared the crowd of more than a thousand people and immediately scattered them like birds and beasts.

"Why are you running? You can run to the temple even if you can run? Wang Dabang, why are you running? I forgot that your two sons are still locked up in the county. What's the matter? Ten years old, do you want them to suffer from a board or a stick? Last time you refused to pay the food, your eldest son had three fingers broken, tsk tsk, my heart aches when I see it..."

"Ding Wei, you run away. I heard that you are a filial son. Do you want me? She has been hungry for five meals, and there is only one piece of skin left in her body. If you run again, you can go directly to collect the corpse tomorrow... Don't forget In addition to bringing the money, you have to pay the money when you collect the corpse, otherwise you won’t be able to get it out..."
