Chapter 557: The determined Li Chengming
After dealing with the battlefield, Fang Xing immediately wrote a letter to Huang Fu and sent someone to Dongguan City.
Xu Jingchang saw the content next to him and asked, "You want to make a yellow book?"
"Yes." Fang Xing looked at Qin Meng, who was kneeling in front of the buried ground of the fallen soldiers, and said: "The yellow book of Jiaozhi is in chaos. This time, he used the power of the rich clan to clean up the power of Jiaozhi. At the same time..."
A smile appeared on Fang Xing's face. Xu Jingchang looked at this smile and couldn't help but shivering when he thought of Fang Xing's words in his letter.
All men and women with unknown household registration will be detained! The man will be sent to the military farm to plant sugarcane, and the woman will be distributed by the General Secretary.
The rebels who had just fled may catch up with the first wave of investigations. Once they are found out, they will probably have to farm until they die.
The Yellow Book of the Ming Dynasty is no joke. It is re-registered once every ten years, the same as the census.
"Master, are you still leaving today?"
It was already noon now, and Xin Laoqi came over and asked.
"There are many injured brothers, so I won't leave today."
The wounded men under Qin Man's command had to be dealt with, and then the prisoners were escorted back.
"Cook, and call Qin Man and Yu Qianli by the way."
Not long after, Qin Man and Yu Qianli came. Fang Xing pointed to the ground and signaled the two to sit down. Then he said, "Although today's battle hastily, the soldiers can defeat the rebels with their lives. Qin Man, your troops should be the leader."
Qin Man lowered his eyes and said, "My uncle, I dare not."
Yu Qianli said guiltily: "Mr. Qin is indeed the first meritorious person, and no one dares to fight for it."
Qin Man's subordinates lost nearly half of them, so he could understand only when he was depressed.
"There is no need to follow you next."
Qin Man looked up in shock and said, "After the deportation tomorrow, your troops will escort the prisoners back and then repair them."
"Brother, please..."
Fang Xing pressed his hands: "I know you are eager to fight, but what if you have it all? Let's leave some seeds and replenish them, and you will recover soon."
Qin Man still wanted to fight for it, but Fang Xing's face was full of determination that could not be changed.
"Go and comfort those brothers."
After Qin Man left, Xu Jingchang asked, "Fang Xing, Wang Du and the others are still surrounded, you..."
"It's all illusions!"
Fang Xing laughed at himself, "I didn't expect that Li Chengming was so cunning. He had only 30,000 to 40,000 males under him, and more than 10,000 people came here. Think about it, even if you defeat Wang Du and the others, can the rest of the people still take our blow?"
Xu Jingchang frowned and said, "But what if he wants to defeat both sides at the same time?"
"He doesn't have that courage and confidence!"
Fang Xing explained: "The king capital and Wu Yue have more troops than our side. He drew these people to ambush us. The remaining people are not enough to pose a threat to the king capital and Wu Yue, so he will face a situation where both ends are lost. The wise will not do it!"
"Li Chengming dares to be called a wise man?" After all, Xu Jingchang has not experienced many battle formations, so his thinking is not clear enough.
"The enemy cannot be underestimated."
Fang Xing said: "The lion fights with all his strength, and my judgment is that Li Chengming is fighting against the east and west."
Xu Jingchang frowned and said, "You mean they are all fake in besieging the king, but their real target is us?"
"Yes, surely."
Fang Xing took out the map, pointed to the current location of the capital and said, "The capital and Wu Yue defended the camp. With those peasant militias, if Li Chengming wants to capture it, unless everyone is fearless and lives to fill it."
"Li Chengming is not stupid, and those rebels don't have the energy to be afraid of death. As long as the king can detect an abnormality, they can even find opportunities to counterattack and directly defeat their opponents!"
...
"Kill!"
There were fleeing rebels all over the mountains, but Wang Du and Wu Yue were not happy at all.
"At most twenty thousand people."
The old man from Wangdu battled the formation, and after taking a look, he calculated the total strength of the enemy troops coming this time.
Wu Yue said with a dismal expression: "In other words, there are still about 20,000 people who are not sure where they are."
The king nodded and said, "We are surrounded here and cannot find out the movements of the rebels. Xing and Bo are in danger."
Wu Yue exhaled depressedly: "Mr. Wang, you are in charge here, I will take the headquarters to investigate."
Wang Du smiled bitterly and said, "I want to go too, but as soon as these rebels escaped, Li Chengming still had at least 20,000 troops on his hands. Forget it, I'll leave it here, and you'll go right away."
If the rebels really ambush Fang Xing, it would be too late for Wu Yue to rush there at this time.
When Wu Yue led his troops to leave, the king smiled bitterly and ordered: "Get out the troops and withdraw Fukang immediately."
If Fang Xing is really defeated, he can only guard the road of Fukang City to the end.
Jiaozhi! Why doesn’t you stop?
...
Wu Yue came back without running far away. The reason was very simple, and he captured the defeated soldiers.
"He said that he hid in the forest and ambushed Boye and defeated the spear formation, but later he was defeated by muskets, and even Li Chengming's brother died in the chaos."
Wu Yue stared at the group of embarrassed defeated soldiers and asked anxiously: "What about uncle? Is uncle safe?"
The general translator asked, and then said, "He said that seeing Bo Ye's banner has not moved in the middle, and they have not broken through the chariot formation at all, Bo Ye should be fine."
Wu Yue asked him to ask multiple defeated soldiers again, and finally felt relieved.
"I just knew that my uncle couldn't defeat him, and he was ambushed? Li Chengming must be crying now!"
...
Li Chengming is a handsome talent, has a white face, a gentle and calm temperament, which looks similar to those literati of the Ming Dynasty.
But after he escaped from the pursuit of the royal capital in a hurry and gathered the defeated troops, his elegance and calmness disappeared.
"Sir, there are only more than eight thousand."
Looking at the frightened soldiers, Li Chengming felt his throat sweet. He forced himself to ask, "Where are the leaders of each family?"
The confidant stepped forward and whispered: "More than twenty dead."
As the leader of this miscellaneous army, Li Chengming certainly hopes that the more leaders will die, the better, but he will die in defeat, which is something he does not want to see.
"Mr. Li..."
After identifying the remaining people in his family, the remaining dozen leaders surrounded him with bad looks.
"Mr. Li, you said you could hide it from those wise people, but what about now?"
"Those Ming people dared to attack the entire army, and they must have found out the truth and reality of our army. Lord Li, why is this?"
"Yes! Most of my people have died. If you hadn't been swearing that you could have calculated the Ming people, I wouldn't have come out with you no matter what I said!"
"Mr. Li, what should we do now? If the Ming army continues to attack, where else can we go?"
“…”
Li Chengming listened to these questions in a muffled manner. After the voice fell, he said with a grip: "Although we are defeated, can we wake up?"
Seeing these guys who were still angry, Li Chengming raised his head and said, "As long as Li Chengzhang's ambush is successful, then our defeat today will be worth it!"
"Who is Fang Xing?"
Li Cheng knew that he had to regain his morale and at the same time he had to maintain his prestige, otherwise the grass-roots team would disappear in an instant.
"Fang Xing is the Ming people's Xinghe Bo and Taisun's teacher. If such a person is captured or killed by us, the south will definitely be ours!"
Li Chengming said confidently: "If we can capture alive, we can even negotiate terms with Emperor Ming. Everyone, don't you want to open up the new dynasty in Annan?"
