The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

Li Yuanqing frowned and quickly picked up his saber. He came to the door of the tent, opened the curtain and looked outside.

Outside.

The firelight flashed, the figures were mottled, and the clear and crisp sound of the bird's blundering blunderbuss had already sounded. The soldiers in bright red mandarin duck war jackets were in groups of several or more than a dozen, using various weapons to attack the enemy.

Not far away from the tent, Niu Gensheng is also shocked. He is shouting and calling his relatives and soldiers to come here to protect Li Yuanqing's big account and his safety.

Li Yuanqing's eyes narrowed slightly, and his mind had already recovered his composure.

He had enough trust in his family.

Having learned the lesson of the last time in dajianshan, even if you go to western Liaoning Province, including now entering Beijing, the relatives and soldiers are all armed and have two horses.

At this time, although the enemy seems to have a large number of people, they do not have any firepower support. They can not break through the defense lines of several firepower points of the Ming army in front of them.

On the middle and right sides of the camp, more than 40 long spearmen have quickly gathered together. It is not so easy for the enemy to rush in.

Li Yuanqing's mind also spun rapidly.

This is Pinggu territory, only a dozen miles away from Pinggu County, which is already the hinterland of the capital.

Who on earth is such a bold person, dare to attack him here?

Did someone want to do something to him? Even, you know where he is?

But for a moment, Li Yuanqing denied the idea.

Li Yuanqing's whereabouts were not secret, but only a few people knew about it. No wonder they were sun Chengzong, sun Yuanhua and Ma Shilong.

It is impossible for sun Chengzong and sun Yuanhua to treat him like this to Li Yuanqing, because Li Yuanqing has only advantages but no disadvantages to them. If this matter is exposed, it will not do them any good.

As for Ma Shilong, he asked for Li Yuanqing, and Li Yuanqing did not refuse. This guy should not have a reason to start.

At this time, Xiaolian and Caizi are also woken up from their sleep. The two girls are gathered together. Xiaolian looks at Li Yuanqing in horror. "Master, what's the matter?"

Li Yuanqing waved his hand to reassure the two women, "it's OK. Wait here. I'll take a look

At this time, Li Yuanqing had seen Niu Gensheng, with 40 or 50 soldiers, quickly gathered around his big tent.

"What is the situation?"

Li Yuanqing strode out of the tent, the steel knife in his hand had been scabbard.

Niu Gensheng quickly stepped forward, "general, I don't know whether it's bandits or mobs. The number is about 5600 or 6700. The main offensive has been defeated by us. It's estimated that it won't be long before they are completely defeated."

Li Yuanqing nodded, "Damn it! Let me catch some living things

"Yes Niu Gensheng did not dare to neglect, with more than a dozen people, quickly ran to the front.

The rest of his family members quickly gathered around Li Yuanqing and outside his tent, firmly guarding the safety of this side.

From the beginning to the end of the battle, it lasted about ten minutes. Before long, Niu Gensheng and his relatives and soldiers escorted a dozen people to Li Yuanqing's side.

These people are all dressed in black. However, the materials are not very good. They are the most common coarse cloth. It seems that the infection technology is very poor. It seems that the coarse cloth is directly thrown into the black water to dye.

"Kneel down!"

The relatives and soldiers even kicked and kicked. Even if they were not happy, they did not dare to openly resist the authority of their relatives and soldiers, and they fell to their knees.

Niu Gensheng quickly came to Li Yuanqing and said in a low voice: "general, these people in black are the backbone of them. We are short of manpower. Those who are scattered and brave are not chasing after."

Li Yuanqing nodded slowly, and his eyes swept over the men in black in turn, "you, why do you want to assassinate me? Will he have a grudge against you

"Bah! Dog officer! Kill us if you have seed

It was a woman, or a young woman, who spoke.

However, her face was covered with black ash, her hair was also very messy, hidden in the middle of the crowd, Li Yuanqing did not even see.

"Second sister, shut up

Next to him, there was another woman, reminding the young woman in a low voice.

But she obviously understood a lot more than the young woman, and she did not dare to face Li Yuanqing's authority. She hung down her head and did not look too far.

"Dog officer! Let us go! Otherwise, we will not finish with you! My big brother will not let you go! "

The young woman did not cling.

Obviously, she is a spoiled master, with a bit of a temper.

Li Yuanqing suddenly smile, this woman is really simple lovely ah, obviously not deep in the world.

"I'll ask you again. Why do you want to assassinate Ben Jiang? If one does not speak, the general will kill another. If ten people don't say anything, kill ten people! Until you're done! Say it

Li Yuanqing's power is to climb out of the sea of countless corpses and blood, and accumulate it with the bones of Tartars. Can these little bandits who have not added anything to the world compare with them?As soon as Li Yuanqing's voice fell, Niu Gensheng and his family members had already "Shua la la" and each drew out his sabre.

With the setting off of the fire, the cold light of these sharp steel knives makes people can't open their eyes, not to mention, these people in black are kneeling on the ground.

Almost a minute later, seeing that the men in black were still silent, Li Yuanqing winked at Niu Gensheng.

Niu Gensheng immediately realized that he pulled a man in black by his side. He swung the steel knife high in his hand, and he was about to chop down the man's neck.

This person is going to be scared to pee directly, where still have a little backbone? Hastily kowtow: "official, official, don't kill me, don't kill me. I said, I said, I said everything. "

Niu Gensheng put the steel knife into the mud on one side and stepped on his back. His face turned red and he said in a cold voice: "if you want to live, you should be honest! Otherwise, the knife in my hand will not grow eyes! "

"Yes. Yes, yes, yes

The man in black kowtowed in a hurry, and said with a cry: "officer, we are the strong men of niugong stronghold on the mountain behind us. Today, it is the big leader who found that you have a lot of good horses, just want to start with you. Who knows, who knows you, you are the border army of Liao! If I had known that it was like this, you should give me a hundred courage. I dare not fight with you

The man in Black said, tears and snot have been a lot, desperately kowtow.

"Bah! Ma Laoer, you are a fool without eggs! What a man On one side, the young woman couldn't help but spat.

The man in black, called ma Laoer, also lost his fear. He became angry and pulled his neck. His veins swelled and he called out to the young woman, "Miss? I'm not a man? Is Laozi a man? Do you know if you try? As I said earlier, these officials may be border soldiers today, so don't be impulsive! But he Zhao a stick is to call lard to cover the heart, just do not listen to! Now, I don't have eggs? Dog day's surname is Zhao. I just don't have any eggs. I won't work for you dog day! "

With that, Ma Laoer tried his best to kowtow to Li Yuanqing and said, "Guan ye, Guan ye, the little one is willing to surrender, and the little one is willing to lead the way for the official to wipe out the cattle bow stronghold, and only hope that the official can bypass the humble life of the little one!"

"You! Ma Laoer, you, you must die The bandit lady could not help pointing to Ma Laoer's nose and swearing.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing. By this time, he had already understood.

The attack on the camp was not what he thought. It was a planned and premeditated action against him. Instead, the bandits wanted his horse for money!

Li Yuanqing did not show much interest in these bandits.

In the past two years, especially after the fourth or fifth year of the apocalypse, many bandits of Daming have sprung up like bamboo shoots after the rain.

To a large extent, these people are more hateful than Tartars.

However, Li Yuanqing did not expect that one day, these bandits even ate the courage of ambitious leopard and dare to fight him!

"Take them down! Strict interrogation! By the way, keep these two women in separate custody. I'll interrogate them myself later! "

"Yes

……

Back to the account, pacify Caizi and Xiaolian's mood, Li Yuanqing's mood is also calm a lot.

The reasons for the rise of bandits in Daming are very complicated, but in the final analysis, the common people can not survive and have no hope, and they can only become bandits.

To be frank, the imperial court has been unable to take into account their employment and survival, so they can only "start their own businesses".

In particular, the area from Shanhaiguan to the capital is sparsely populated. In the past two years, the drought and flood are uneven, and the harvest of crops is not good. In addition, the tax of the imperial court is seriously uneven. The officials and those with high reputation do not collect taxes. However, the common people have to make a big and special income!

Especially the surrounding military households.

They have been "skinned" by officers at all levels. It is not surprising that some bandits have emerged.

Unfortunately, "everyone sweeps the snow in front of his door.".

From the capital to Shanhaiguan, many of them were established during the Hongwu Period.

Even if Li Yuanqing looks unhappy, but this kind of thing, he also can't reach.

Especially in Shanxi and Shanxi, the drought has become more and more serious in the past two years. I'm afraid that the little official ape who is working in the post house will soon be unable to sit down.

Accompany Caizi and Xiaolian to drink some water, chat for a while, coax them to sleep, Li Yuanqing quickly came to the outside of the tent.

To cut grass, one must remove the roots.

Today, since these bandits dare to fight against him, Li Yuanqing can not have any reservation. Otherwise, if they are not eradicated, there will be trouble along the way.

Seeing Li Yuanqing come out, Niu Gensheng quickly meets Li Yuanqing and reports the result of the trial just now to Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing nodded slowly: "it's not urgent. Niugongzhai is only seven or eight miles away from here. Tonight, let the children have a good rest. Tomorrow morning, we will take action again. "Niu Gensheng quickly nodded, "general, do you want to record this matter to the local authorities tonight?"

Li Yuanqing thought for a moment, shook his head, "don't mix these yellow mud soup! Tomorrow, finish this work, and we'll go to the capital as soon as possible. "

"Yes

After explaining the military affairs clearly, Niu Gensheng leads Li Yuanqing to a small account next door where the two women are held.

At this time, the identities of the two women were also made clear.

The younger is Zhao Mei, the direct sister of Zhao yiku, the head of the niugong stronghold. The older one is Zhang die, Zhao yiku's wife.
