Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 99 Looting
Dong Hongguo is the squadron leader of the Fourth Squadron of the Second Battalion of the Third Battalion and wears three stripes on his chest.At this time, he was taking his brothers to sweep the area around Dawu Mountain.

Of course, Dong Hongguo secretly mentioned the word mopping up in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out of his mouth.The purpose of the 324 Squadron this time was to take away the gold, silver and grain, and divide up all the fields that could not be taken away. In the end, a large number of organizations such as the Peasant Association and the Women's Rescue Association were left behind.In this way, all the foundations of local rule will be broken, and what is left to the enemy is a dilapidated territory.This is not a sweep, what is it?
However, even though it was a raid, Dong Hongguo didn't feel a trace of intolerance.

Dong Hongguo didn't have a big name at first, only a small name called Guozi. He was the eldest in his family and had three younger siblings, so he was also called Dong Ada.Dong Ada's hometown is in Henan, and later the tartars fled south with their parents and family when they went south, but he fled all the way, and he was the only one left in the family.

Dong Ada, who was so hungry, survived for a year by begging and stealing. Just when he was about to starve to death, Qiu Tianxing set up a recruiting flag and established a security team. Dong Ada joined the security team. He was only sixteen that year.

After more than three years, Dong Ada has participated in countless battles, whether it was the first battle of Yingshan, the later battle of Yingshan defense, and the battle of Anlu.In the end, he was lucky enough to survive.So, he naturally became a squadron leader.

After learning to read and write in night school, he changed his name to Dong Hongguo.

Years of fighting not only gave him rich combat experience, but also gave him a ruthless heart.

What Qiu Tianxing said made him firmly in his mind.

"Those who believe in me are like barbarians, and those who don't believe in me are like bandits."

This sentence gave him a deep feeling, and it also explained the doubts in his heart in the past.

In the past, whenever he fought against the green battalion soldiers, he couldn't help but think in his heart that the compatriots of the same clan would fight each other for the sake of outsiders.However, since Qiu Tianxing said this sentence, he figured it out.Even if they all have the same blood, as long as they have different beliefs, they are enemies.

So, when facing those 'compatriots' wearing mandarin jackets, wearing money rat tails, and melon skin hats again, Dong Hongguo no longer felt any pity in his heart.

Dong Hongguo rode on a horse and looked at the village several miles ahead, with more than 300 regiments standing behind him.Every time at this time, Dong Hongguo will feel a strong confidence in his heart, making him firmly believe that there is no goal that he can't beat.This confidence was brought to him by the security team, and it was brought to him by more than 300 brothers behind him.Of course, this target is just the village in front of me.

At this time, two regiment members rushed over and saw Dong Hongguo kneeling on one knee.

"Report to the squadron leader that no enemy troops have been found in the village ahead. There are hundreds of houses in the village, and it is estimated that there are hundreds of villagers. Now is the time when the rice is ripe, and most of the villagers are harvesting rice in the fields."

"Hehe, it's better to come early than coincidentally. The rice can be stored after cutting and threshing for a few days. This is just for us!" Dong Hongguo said with a smile.The small captains beside them also smiled apologetically, praising the luck of the 324 Squadron.

After Dong Hongguo gave the order to march, a squadron of people started to move.As he walked, bursts of dust and smoke rose.At this time, the villagers harvesting rice in the distance panicked. They put down their farm work and fled desperately to the village.

At this time, the world is not peaceful, and thieves pass like combing soldiers, and anyone who comes will get a piece of it.Counting the past five or six years, Li Zicheng came, Zhang Xianzhong came, Zuo Liangyu came, and finally the Tartars also came, and there were also a large number of bandits under various banners.Years of military disasters and wars have left the villagers in panic all day long.

In this way, seeing a large number of people coming here, whether they are officers, soldiers or bandits, is not a good thing for the villagers.Before these officials or bandits enter the village, hurry up and hide your wives, daughters and valuable belongings.

Seeing that he had been discovered, Dong Hongguo smiled contemptuously. He whipped the horsewhip, and the team speeded up.

A quarter of an hour later, the village was surrounded, and Dong Hongguo also stood on the threshing floor.The following is the scene he is familiar with.

First, the landlords in the village were pulled out, and the villagers were encouraged to behead the landlord's family, ransack their homes, and divide the land.Then the activists among these villagers were promoted to form a series of organizations such as farmers' associations, farmers' guards, women's rescue associations, youth leagues, and children's leagues.In the end, most of the money and food in the village were taken away, and Bingfeng pointed directly at the next target.As for the braids of the villagers, considering that I will not be there permanently, and for the sake of the lives of the villagers, I still did not shave them off.The clothes have not been changed either. After all, clothes are an important property of a family in this day and age.

Looking at the terrified, naked brains in the audience, Dong Hongguo cleared his throat, and started the process he had already mastered.

All of this happened in one day in various parts of Hanyang Prefecture.Many villages and towns were looted, many landlords and gentry were ransacked, countless money and food were taken back to De'an Mansion, and many young men joined the security team.

Xiaogan is in a hurry, Huangpi is in a hurry, Hanchuan is in a hurry, and the magistrate of Hanyang Prefecture is in a state of desperation.Wuchang Mansion was also worried after receiving the information, and decided to send troops ahead of time to wipe out this confidant trouble entrenched in De'an Mansion.

At the same time, Qiu Tianxing also sent someone to contact Sun Zhi in Huangzhou Mansion, saying that he ignored the previous suspicions and hoped to join hands to resist the Tartars.

The war in Nanchang has not stopped, Wuchang has fought again, and a big battle is about to start.
