Blood from Daming

Chapter 821
At noon on September [-]th, the Hangzhou caravan arrived [-] miles northeast of Gwangju. Thousands of Wen Xiangjiao's soldiers fled from the caravan. , I led the Musketeers and Xue Dahan's troops to line up, and before the caravan's car formation was set up, the gangsters from Guangzhou City arrived.

Third Sister Xu was bad enough, she led thousands of Wenxiang Jiaojiao troops, and led Henan Governor Fan Jingwen's army to the Hangzhou caravan. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the officers and soldiers were short of food and wages, and the civilian army even raised their own food and wages. How many people were paid? Dead birds die for food, and the officers, soldiers and civilians who lack food and pay end up degenerating like robbers and bandits.

The officers, soldiers, and civilians in Henan's campaign against Wenxiangjiao saw the headless convoy in front of them, just like mosquitoes seeing blood. There was only a momentary pause, and the vanguard general Chen Yongfu's men rushed up first, followed by the rest of the Henan army. The armies also rushed forward, and 3 of the [-] horses have joined the ranks of robbing the Hangzhou caravan.

Xue Shisan, general manager of Kaifeng Qian, squeezed in front of the coach Fan Jingwen and shouted: "Master Futai, don't send troops to loot."

Governor Fan Jingwen of Henan saw that he was Xue Shisan, a young general with considerable military exploits recently. Fan Jingwen was a civil servant, so how could he not know that the consequences of looting the Ming caravan would be very serious. It's a trivial matter to lose the black hat, and it's normal to issue an imperial edict, but these officers, soldiers and civilian troops are not completely under my control. Besides, I owe countless food and salaries to various officials, soldiers and civilian troops in the past six months. .

Xue Shisan got a lot closer to Fan Jingwen and said, "Lord Futai, this is a caravan from the Xue family in Hangzhou. The Xue family's caravan cannot be snatched."

Fan Jingwen was upset when he heard Xue Shisan's words. He couldn't snatch the caravan of the Xue family from Hangzhou. If other caravans were robbed, he would send his own soldiers to disperse the chaos. If the caravan of the Xue family was really ignored The caravan of the Xue family in Hangzhou is Xue Yun's territory, isn't this Xue Yun a disaster for the country and the people, and everyone in the world will punish him, and he really doesn't care about the caravan that robs Xue Yun of him.

Fan Jingwen didn't say a word and made Xue Shisan anxious: "Master, we have fallen into the scheme of Wen Xiangjiao to blame Jiangdong. The caravan of this new army is extremely large, so we must have a backup. Let's rob Xue's caravan. It is very likely that both sides will suffer, and let the Wenxiang Sect gangsters reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Fan Jingwen was shocked when he heard what Xue Shisan said, "Xue Shisan, you are also a member of the Xue family."

Xue Shisan's face changed suddenly and he said, "My lord, although my villain's surname is Xue, he is not from the blood of the Xue family. My adoptive father broke up with the Xue family many years ago."

Fan Jingwen is clear about Xue Shisan's family affairs. Now the emperor reuses the Xue family members except Xue Yun, which means to use the spear of the son to attack the shield of the son. How could Fan Jingwen deliberately target a very marginal adopted son of the Xue family? Under his subordinates, the adopted son is not much better than the servant, he is a guy who works for the master, but Xue Aobiao, the fourth eldest of the Xue family, has no offspring, which makes Xue Shisan, the adopted son, grow up to be cared for by the foster father.

However, Fan Jingwen still wanted to wait for his subordinates to grab some supplies before stopping them. This way, he could appease the officers and civilians who were short of food and salaries, and he would get the emperor's appreciation. He would kill a few prostitutes and block Xue Yun's side. It's a good thing that one arrow shoots three birds.

While Xue Shisan was talking to governor Fan Jingwen, dense gunshots sounded from the southeast. This kind of gunfire was obviously different from Daming's firecrackers, and the sound was clearer and sharper. After the fight, the only thing we can do now is to wait for the result. Fan Jingwen is full of expectations, but Xue Shisan is extremely pessimistic. Even if Xue Yun's caravan is robbed, will Xue Yun not take revenge? The court has not made a decision on Xue Yun Determined, this kind of consequence is not something that Fan Jingwen can bear.

Ji Tianen and Xue Dahan are ready to fight against the Henan government army. Fengzhen's caravan leader this time to Datong, Xue's shopkeeper Yang Dong (formerly {Xue Ji Silk Cloth} second shopkeeper) and Zhang Jiazhu (Minister of Manchu Canada) have all the merchants. More than 2000 bodyguards were organized, and the Henan official army was already rushing to the caravan.

Ji Tianen is a middle-ranking general of the Xue family army who came out of the Shaanxi Ming army on an expedition to Liaodong. He has followed General Xue Yun for four years since the apocalypse, and made great achievements for the Xue family army in the Northern War with Xue Yunan in the past six years. Ji Tianen, who was rescued by Xue Yun in the place of life and death, can be said to be utterly loyal to Xue Yun. Watching the Xue family's army prosper and develop day by day, Ji Tianen's heart is more eager to follow the dragon. In addition, he was bullied by the court with his elder brother Wang Kui Even if the officers and soldiers of the imperial court don't trouble Ji Tianen, Ji Tianen has the heart to bite the imperial court. Now that the Henan officers and soldiers come to seek death by themselves, Ji Tianen is really wishing for it.

The 150 musketeers led by Ji Tianen were ready to shoot. When the Henan officers and troops reached a distance of 150 steps, Ji Tianen ordered the flag to be lowered, and the veterans of the [-] musketeers immediately opened fire. The officers and soldiers were unable to cause any harm to the Musketeers of the Xue family army.

Two thousand Musketeers fired a round of muskets, hundreds of officer cavalry fell down their horses, and immediately pushed out the infantry behind them. The Xue Family Army Musketeers fired at a rate of seven to eight shots per minute. They have never experienced such a method of warfare. The Ming army fell into a nightmare. For just one cup of tea, there were 1 casualties. The firecrackers of the caravan on the opposite side were too powerful.

General Chen Yongfu of Kaifeng was stunned by the muskets of the Xingju caravan. Chen Yongfu was famous among the generals of the Ming army for his knowledge of soldiers. He heard that the Xingju caravan used the muskets of the Frang machine, but so many muskets were fired together. Chen Yongfu was It was unheard of and unseen, and the dense bullets were alive and dead without any pause. This was completely different from the firecrackers used by the Ming army. If the muskets continued to shoot like this, all of my troops would die soon.

Chen Yongfu had the idea of ​​running away. In fact, Chen Yongfu didn't need to think about it. As long as he was able to leave, all the officers and soldiers under his command fled in a swarm. It receded like mercury pouring down the ground, and in an instant, in addition to countless casualties of government, army and civilian army animals, the place where the battle was just now was able to stand behind the Yamen against the soldiers of the Hangzhou caravan.

The ability of the Xue Family Army’s musketeers to protect merchants made the merchants in Hangzhou look at each other with admiration. When did the Xue Family Army become so strong? Didn’t the clever businessmen start to think that there might be unexpected gains from the Xue Family Army? Sure enough, these businessmen came back After Hangzhou, it drove Hangzhou, Zhejiang and even Jiangnan, and formed a strong dependent force around Yan Sanniang, including current and retired officials in Jiangnan, as well as scholars from wealthy families. An invisible court is about to emerge in Hangzhou, Jiangnan. From then on, the entire Jiangnan gradually began to break away from the control of the Ming Dynasty, and the Nanjing court of the Ming Dynasty, which was in charge of Jiangnan, became more and more orderly to stop Yingtianfu.

Fan Jingwen, governor of Henan Province, saw such a tragic situation, and regretted not listening to Xue Shisan's words, but Fan Jingwen had no choice but to stop deserters and treat the wounded. , the Henan government army that had just been hit hard, no matter how dare they face the battle, they immediately fled in all directions.

With the help of Xue's army, Wen Xiangjiao defeated Henan Governor Fan Jingwen's suppressing army, beheaded and killed thousands of Henan officers and civilians, and captured countless weapons, armored battles, food and livestock. More than half of the troops were lost, and they were unable to attack Xu Hongru's Wenxiang Sect for a while.

Ji Tianen, who was taken advantage of by Xu Sanjie, was furious, and yelled loudly at Xu Sanjie who came to him, as if he wanted to take Xu Sanjie down. Xu Sanjie was frightened by Ji Tianen, but who was Xu Sanjie, what could he do? If Ji Tianen can't do it, he decides to intimidate Ji Tianen.

Third sister Xu, not afraid of Ji Tianen's viciousness, instead drove her horse towards Ji Tianen, and said to Ji Tianen with frost on her face: "General Ji, why are you talking like this lady, don't you know the relationship between this lady and the Xue family?"

Ji Tianen knew that the mistress Ni Hongshuang and the head of Baishengtang Qin Zhehua were rescued by Wen Xiangjiao, and it was this third sister Xu who played a decisive role. But this time, third sister Xu made the Xue family army miserable. Ji Tianen was not afraid of turning against the court, but worried that the Xue family army was not ready. After falling out with the imperial court, it was very unfavorable for Xue Jiajun in a hurry.

Ji Tianen said: "I don't know how your relationship with the Xue family is. Today you used our Xue family army. I can't finish with you. Come here."

Third Sister Xu laughed and said: "General Ji, wait a minute, do you know who my niece, Yunu Shengjian, belongs to Xue Yun?"

Ji Tianen really knew about the Jade Maiden Sacred Sword and Xue Yun's matter. Xue Yun was obsessed with Miss Xu, the Jade Maiden Holy Sword. It's useless for you to move Miss Xu out."

Third Sister Xu took a deep breath and said, "General Ji, you just don't know what to do. Don't you have to tell me that you are Brother Yun?"

When Ji Tianen heard Xu Sanjie speak like this, his heart skipped a beat and he said, "Don't talk nonsense."

Third Sister Xu laughed coquettishly: "General Ji, do you want me to tell you about Brother Tong Yun's deep affection in the capital?"
