late Qing Dynasty arrest

The Beacon Tower is the gateway to Xinyao Town, and Li Yunkai led the rangers to pass quickly and march towards Xinyao Town.He brought Liu Guogai and other ten Beacon Tower guards with him, and asked them to be guides, preparing to capture Xinyao Town in one fell swoop.After hearing that there were more than 1000 rebels in Xinyao Town, Li Yunkai's expression became serious. Although the enemy was mostly mobs, they couldn't stand the crowd.How to conquer Xinyao Town?A false appearance should be created so that the rebels along the way think that the Qing army is coming.

Li Yunkai said without hesitation: "Order, if the rebels dare to shoot, all the villages will be burned down. I will open up a residential area first, and see who dares to resist. Kill me!"

"Boom!" Gunshots rang out from a village in front of him, and a bullet shot a war horse. The horse's big crotch screamed and fell off the horse.With a scream, Ma Dazi's leg was broken by the fallen horse.

The oil gourd was furious, frowned, and shouted: "Don't howl Ma Da's crotch, my brother will avenge you."

"Kill!" More than 60 Qing soldiers rushed into a village that fired the alarm. As soon as the horse stepped forward and swooped down, a fleeing villager had no time to shoot and hid in a thatched hut by virtue of geographical familiarity. [

"Set fire!" The oil gourd was furious, avenging the injured Ma Da's crotch.

Thatched huts were set on fire, and fleeing villagers were hacked to death. The duty of soldiers is to make the enemy fearful, and let the enemy know the price of rebellion.

This kind of village along the way has low defense capabilities and simple facilities. It is a soft persimmon. In fact, there are not many rebels in a village, or even a single rebel. The villagers are just firing warning shots as a form of self-protection.But Li Yunkai still used such a target to carry out arson. His behavior was despicable and cruel.This is to tell the rebels that the Qing army's revenge is even more crazy, and rebellion will be punished by destroying their homes.Dare to shoot at the Qing army, and the consequence is that a village will be destroyed.

Regardless of whether there were people in the courtyard, the Qing army lit the house with torches and burned them all. The villagers with farm tools in their hands were also rebels.The cavalry swooped in, swiping their knives horizontally, splashing blood and killing the males, making more than 60 cavalry men look hideous.

"Haha! Have fun!" Liu Guogai wiped the blood on his face in the early morning anyway. The farmer who was killed was a rebel, and the stains in his life had been washed away with the blood of the enemy.

The guards of the Qing army guarding the beacon towers usually ride horses. Usually, the army needs the guards of the beacon towers to pass messages between several beacon towers and fortresses. Carry out brutal massacres.

"Good Liu Guogai, you guys will hang out with me in the future so that you don't have to settle accounts after autumn." Li Yunkai saw ten Qing soldiers who were working hard anyway, daring to kill children, doing more than his men. Only the real soldiers know how to avoid future troubles.

"Thank you, Captain Li! I will do my best." Liu Guogai took the lead in showing his attitude, and burst out laughing.I heard that Li Yunkai is the name of Li Guolou, and following such an officer will have a bright future, and he will be a Goshha in the capital, and he may become an officer.Liu Guogai looked at the dead body on the ground, without any guilt.Life has reached this point, and there is no turning back. If you want to live a nourishing life, you must seize every opportunity. Otherwise, the best end for a pawn like him is to get some rewards, and then retire and go home. Wouldn't it be in vain? Bing back.

Li Yunkai led the rangers to burn and kill along the way, and deliberately let some villagers escape to Xinyao Town, so that the rebels in Xinyao Town thought that the Qing army was coming.Now that the enemy knows that the Qing army has entered the Xinyao area, they will exaggerate the size of the Qing army by ten times. The rebels in Kiln Town saw the flames of the beacon.

The rebels in an unknown village fired cold shots at the Qing army rangers, who were wiped out by the Qing army rangers.There are also villages that are aware of the situation. A white-haired Baozheng is holding the Yellow Dragon Flag at the gate of the village, shaking the flag in his hand desperately.

Li Yunkai held up his binoculars and looked at the Yellow Dragon Flag in the distance, cursing and cursing: "Bah! You bastard. Shame on you, you know how powerful I am. Xu Zhong brought me that old bastard. "

The white-haired Baozheng was brought up in front of Li Yunkai, but Li Yunkai did not get off his horse. He was still small and less than 1.6 meters tall. Standing on the ground, he immediately showed his true colors, and he wanted to talk to people with a superior attitude.

Baozheng's surname is Fang, who is over 50 years old, and trembling slightly, he dare not look up at Li Yunkai. The beacon fire in the distance, and the fire in the farmhouse in Tiangengli were all set by the Qing army. As for whether the villagers in the farmhouse are dead or not. live?Don't dare to ask him if he has the guts.

Li Yunkai asked carelessly: "Fang Baozheng, why did the rebels let you go?"

Fang Baozheng bowed his head and said: "Mr. Li, I am old, and I have never done evil in Gucun. Unlike Fancun, who is being exterminated, the common people's eyes are discerning. Those brats who are making a fuss, see our army When they came, they all fled to Xinyao Town in fright, and the people in the village were obedient citizens of the Qing Dynasty."

"Oh! Fancun is being exterminated, that's not easy to deal with. Those wolf cubs who fell into trouble have escaped again. Fang Baozheng, as the saying goes, if you can escape, monks can't escape from the temple. Although our army is a teacher of justice, we must retaliate if we show our teeth , I think Fang Baozheng should be able to see how serious the consequences are." Li Yunkai had a way of scaring people, and made Fang Baozheng kneel on the ground with a few words, begging for mercy.

"Mr. Li, my lord has a lot of people, please let the people of Gu Village go, I beg you with my old face." Fang Baozheng kowtowed and begged for mercy, drooling face.

"Well! Since Fang Baozheng loves the people so much, I will give you face. Our army is short of manpower. I think Gucun is quite large, so let's send a hundred husbands." Li Yunkai offered a high price, and waited for the other party to sit down and bargain.

"Ah!" Fang Baozheng fell to the ground, with sorrow engraved on his face, he kowtowed non-stop, and begged: "Mr. Li, all the young people in our Gu village have escaped. Where are there so many young people? I beg Mr. Li for mercy. "[

Li Yunkai's stubborn little face was full of evil spirits, and he said coldly, "Damn old man, don't be shameless. I will ask you one last question, is there anyone who has served the country?" After speaking, Li Yunkai drew out his saber and held it Fan Cunzheng's neck.

"Yes, yes, yes! Don't worry, Chief Li. All the remaining villagers in Gu Village are willing to be long husbands, but 100 people can't make up. I think there are always a dozen people still hiding in the cellar. I'll find them. Shall I gather some more food and grass?" Fang Bao was bargaining, and some people in the village were hiding in the cellar, so they could find some people to serve for the Qing army, so as to prevent Fan Village from being bloodbathed.As for the food and grass that must always be given, it is better to please the Qing army first.

"That's right, the army and the people should cooperate, we are a family." Li Yunkai finally showed a smile, jumped off the horse, and helped Fang Baozheng who was half dead from fright.

The Qing army had a resentment, and the Qing army did not harass the people along the way, and even gave a certain amount of money and food to buy people's hearts.But the people in the area under Ma Hualong’s jurisdiction didn’t buy it. Instead, they secretly helped the guerrillas. There are still so many people rebelling.

At this moment, Fang Baozheng could see clearly that Chief Li in front of him was still a half-grown child, so he let go of his fearful heart.It would have been fine if the Qing army hadn't bloodbathed Fan Village, it had saved his hometown, and serving the Qing army was a last resort, and the folks would understand.

People are so cheap, if they don't use ruthless tricks, the common people are not afraid of the Qing army, they regard the Qing army as the god of plague, they can't afford to provoke them, they can afford to hide.It was really murder and arson, but the common people were willing to cooperate with the Qing army, willing to contribute food.Li Yun sneered heartily. It was true what his adoptive father said. He should pay equal attention to kindness and power to the people in the old base areas of the Hui army. The rebels forced the people to rebel, and the Qing army also forced the people to serve the country.

Li Yunkai didn't want Gucun's money and food, so he gritted his teeth and asked Fang Baozheng to send out his men to follow the Qing army to attack Xinyao Town.Use the people along the way to strengthen the momentum of Li Ziying's cavalry, if there are cavalry, there will be infantry, who cares?Filled into the Qing army's costumes.The rebels are good at using this tactic, and the rebels rely on forcibly recruiting strong men to strengthen their teams.Similarly, the Qing army also made great use of it. The popular point is to use local people as cannon fodder. A large part of the civilian husbands in the Qing army were obtained in this way.This is also a manifestation of atonement, otherwise the Qing army will settle accounts after autumn and carry out bloody revenge on the rebellious villages.

Fang Baozheng couldn't stand the threat of death, which was pretty good. The Qing army didn't ask him for protection money, so Nai promised to gather twenty strong laborers who could carry swords.He also wanted to speak out for Li Ziying, so that the people in the nearby villages could recognize the situation, work hard, and follow the Qing army to attack Xinyao Town.

Li Guolou did not use cavalry to enter Xinyao Town. Cavalry is good at field operations and raids, and infantry is needed to attack towns.His task now is to intimidate the rebels, making the rebels think that the Qing army is coming.

But at this time, he led a large army and went straight to Dongfeng Township after passing the Beacon Tower. There was a strategic material storage point that he let Hu Yangyue from "Cai Mao Tang" hide. Seizing the materials there was enough to fight a tough battle.

More than 400 cavalry marched, it was billowing smoke and dust, rolling up yellow clouds all over the sky, and the situation was shaking from a distance.Mobs running around could be seen on the loess slope. Seeing that the mobs were still holding old-fashioned flintlock guns, Li Guolou was relieved that the villa in Dongfeng Township should be in the hands of Cai Maotang.

"Kill me!" Li Guolou gave an order, and the cavalry lined up their guns to shoot, and then drew out their sabers, chasing after the fleeing mob.

The cavalry pursued the fleeing mob across the plains with ease.With one charge, they rushed to the back of the mob, and with a wave of the cavalry sword, a bloody mouth was cut on the back of the mob, and the blood bloomed like bright red flowers.The cavalry leaped, and the hooves of the horses trampled on the mob.On the field ridges of Dongfeng Township, cavalrymen were chasing and killing fleeing mobs.

Most of these mobs were villagers from nearby villages. There were more than 300 people, including men, women and children.Some cavalry stood a little distance away from the mob, raised their muskets, loaded a bullet, and slowly aimed and fired.

"!" A mob with a long gun in front was shot dead.

The fleeing mob was still besieging the villa of Caimaotang, thinking of making a fortune, but they didn't expect the Qing army to arrive so soon.Unfortunately, Dongfeng Township is surrounded by plains, and there is no place to hide. They were chased and hunted down by the Li Ziying cavalry. Soon, the mobs in the fields and on the loess slopes were wiped out. There were more than 300 corpses lying in the fields, hovering in the air. Groups of vultures can't wait to fly to the battlefield.

Seeing the military flag with Li characters flying over the mountain villa on the high slope, all the officers and soldiers cheered loudly.

"Master Li, you are finally here!" Yang Zhao, the steward of "Caimaotang", led more than 30 bodyguards, knelt at the foot of Li Guolou, crying bitterly.

For some reason, the mob smelled the smell of money, and the mob nearby came to attack the warehouse of Caimaotang. Fortunately, the warehouse chose a place with high walls and thick walls, occupying natural dangers, so that these bodyguards survived.

Li Guolou helped Yang Zhao up and asked, "How many brothers did you sacrifice?"

Yang Zhao wiped away his tears, and said with a sob: "Fortunately, Master Li came in time. The mob was not well equipped. They came to besiege yesterday. They were bombarded by our cannons for three rounds and killed more than [-] mobs. No one dared to charge. Now the mob is just Surround us, I think they're waiting for the cannon to come."

"That's good! Yang Zhao, if you make great contributions, I will recommend you to be an official." Li Guolou comforted him, and he felt confident. With ten howitzers, even if the rebels sent a large force, he would Dare to fight. [

After Yang Zhao cried, he grinned and his life suddenly opened another door. The status of an official and a businessman is a hundred times different. He is going to be an official. He turned over and bowed loudly, "My lord, the villain is willing to follow you all his life." .”
