Chapter Two Hundred and Fifty Seven: Kill Without Amnesty
The emperor's personal expedition was definitely a horrifying thing if it was in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. Ministers would have to break a few pillars and turn sadness into a river.
After all, everyone was afraid of the personal expedition. The funny Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty insisted on expeditioning himself, but the Tumu Fortress Incident was created, which almost made the Ming Dynasty end. Almost none of the countless civil and military officials who followed the army came back.
However, it is the Yongle Dynasty. Not to mention the Emperor Taizu who relied on fighting everywhere to the top, the Ming Dynasty experienced many wars after Hongwu, and fighting was as casual as eating. If there was no war in the court one day, that would be truly rare.
Of course, the ministers were not happy that Zhu Di wanted to fight in person, but no one dared to object at this time.
No one could understand Zhu Di's character, so he did it as soon as possible. In just a few days, he gathered thousands of elite cavalry and set off directly.
On the official road, the team with flags was vast and covered the clouds and the sun. No one had ever thought that when Zizhen was in the army, there was no ritual, let alone any ceremony. Like all ordinary people, he lifted up his big blade, rolled up his sleeves, and set off.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The situation in Lang Sang County is gradually becoming more and more critical.
After attacking all the villages and grain trucks on the official roads outside the city, countless people rushed from all directions like a tide.
From the top of the city, the vast crowds of people under the city could not see the end.
The only thing to be thankful is that Lang Sang County is so small that it has only one city gate.
In other words, everyone does not have to divide their troops to guard the surroundings. Except for organizing some civil and brave men to patrol the city, all the men can be placed at the only city gate.
The city gate was already full of holes, and the attack methods of the rebels were too easy to attack. They were nothing more than a life-long rush. As a result, the officers and soldiers on the top of the city shot arrows. The musket team set off a few muskets in their thirty-fifty years, and scared them away.
After all, they just became civilians and had no organization. Everyone was jealous of the wealth in the city, but it did not mean that they were willing to be the first stepping stone for others.
So, the two sides stalemate again, except for leaving dozens of corpses under the city, the rebels clamored for no reason, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.
But Hao Fenglou was not easy. He took Zhu Gaosui to the city gate early in the morning every day. He did not take people to shoot and kill the rebels who were trying to approach the city, but held a compass in his hand and muttered something.
"Here. It's here, and the treasure is here."
Hao Fenglou shouted: "When Annan was recovering, Annan's army retreated, but the people's fat and ointment they plundered could not be taken away, so these hateful Annan people hid this batch of treasures here. I have said a long time ago that there will be treasures, but it was not beyond my expectations."
Zhu Gaosui lowered his voice and said, "Do you believe your words?"
Hao Fenglou looked mysterious and said, "Be serious, this is called "scattering beans into soldiers, what do you know?"
Zhu Gaosui had no choice but to exaggerate: "Don't exaggerate it, there is no treasure here, it's simply nonsense."
"Why do you think the people outside change changed?" Hao Fenglou sneered: "It is because this news leaked that they want to attack the county town to get out the treasure. You don't understand these words when you tell you. Tomorrow we will dig it up when the officers and soldiers and officers take the time to dig it out. This news is true and will never be fake."
The two of them said one by one, and their voices gradually became lower.
There are naturally many people near this city gate. When everyone hears the word "treasure", their ears can't help but stand up.
People in Lang Sang County are very worldly. After all, this place is no more educated than a place. If it is Jishui County, Jiangxi Province, if you shout something about treasure, you will definitely be greeted with contempt. People in the countryside dream of getting rich every day. If you have this skill, you will be serious if you don’t study, and you will get fame and fortune.
But here, everyone is very snobbish. This is a place where people laugh at the poor but not the prostitutes. If they are allowed to attend some labor service, they will definitely be lazy bones, but if they hear the word "treasure", their bones will suddenly flutter.
That night, while the officers and soldiers guarding the gate were taking a nap, many people came out of the darkness, some were holding shovels and some were carrying hoes, and everyone started digging the pit in a tacit understanding.
One...two...three...ten...one hundred...
There are old people, women, children, and even old women over 60 years old.
The old woman hunched over and said something like "Dig it cleanly, it's three feet long." "It's time to pull a few pieces of cloth when you have silver."
Someone couldn't stand her nagging and yelled in a low voice: "Why are you shouting? Are you afraid that the people in the county will not notice it?"
Everyone worked very hard, worked hard all night, sweating profusely.
The land was dug three feet away, and the nearby streets had been dug all over the street, and there were even these houses facing the street. The owner locked the door and dug up his own land. This was the case with Lang San. Even if his eyebrows were burned, the rebels outside would be killed in, and they still could not hide their enthusiasm for property.
However, the land in nearly half a street was turned over, but there was no trace of saliva.
Everyone was angry.
Without saying a word, the old woman threw the hoe in her hand and threw it into the mud and shouted like a singing song: "Isn't a conscience? Is this still a human? Even my half-dead old woman is going to cheat Caibao... scare, these scammers who kill thousands of swords...ah... don't live anymore..."
When she shouted, the others' faces turned green and they ran away cleanly.
When the old woman saw it, she felt it was inappropriate. She took her big feet and picked up her hoe and walked vigorously. She took advantage of the first dawn that had not yet passed through the gaps of the dark clouds, and disappeared suddenly.
………………………………………
"Who, who dug the ground, what these bitches raise!"
County Magistrate Xi, who came to investigate early in the morning, was furious.
When I woke up early in the morning, the land in several streets near the city gate was turned over. If it rained, would it still make people walk?
No public morality!
County Magistrate Xi has not had a good sleep during this period. The situation outside is too tense. As a county's parents, he is too busy with too many things. These bastards cannot help. They asked the servants to recruit some people to go to the city. These guys hide far away. It would be fine if they don't help, but they still cause trouble.
The Xi County Magistrate is in a bad mood and wants to find a few bastards to make a good move.
However, at this time, Hao Fenglou and King Zhao also came. After breakfast, they came over quickly. When Hao Fenglou looked at the flipped land, his eyes suddenly lit up.
County Magistrate Xi was about to come forward and complain a few times, but Hao Fenglou waved to the people on the top of the city and said, "Call some people down and work!"
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
A team of officers and soldiers rushed towards Lang Sang County.
The scout sent back a lot of useful news, and Wang Yong couldn't help frowning.
It can't be captured for a long time.
Although he knew that it was useless to change people, Wang Yong was still a little disappointed. Thousands of change people had no way to use small county towns.
However, he got the exact news that there was a team of very powerful officers and soldiers in Lang Sang County, each with a musket. Once someone approached, they would shoot tens of thousands of bullets, which would make people unable to raise their heads. Moreover, the firearm was sharp and could kill people a hundred feet away. Before they could get close, they had become sieve.
"I knew it wouldn't be so simple." Wang Yong's face was not much better.
For him, the most important thing about everything at the moment is speed. He must achieve his goal with lightning speed. Otherwise, when the court reacts and all the troops gather together, it will be difficult to deal with.
Wang Yong did not dare to neglect and urged five thousand elite soldiers to go quickly.
When he arrived near the county town, he saw that the city blocks of Lang Sang County were still standing. As for the rebels, they were noisy and were all noisy one mile away from the county town.
They were not afraid when they saw the official army. I thought someone had informed them in advance, and some people had even arrived at Wang Yong on horseback like a storm. The person in charge was Wu Xiong who had been cleaned up by Hao Fenglou.
Wu Xiong seemed energetic. As soon as he saw Wang Yong, he immediately said, "My master said..."
Bang...
With a hard slap, Wu Xiong was knocked to the ground.
Wang Yong sneered at him: "Send orders and attack, and disperse all these rebels!"
"Abide by the order!"
Wu Xiong was shocked. Didn’t everyone agree? Why did Dashuai Wang? He covered his cheeks, but he didn’t dare to say nonsense.
At this moment, thousands of cavalry have gathered together.
The military officer in charge shouted loudly.
The iron cavalry came out in full swing, and countless swords were drawn out, and the swords like forest pointed to the sky. The war horses under their seats rumbled and trampled on the earth, turning up mud.
"Kill! The general has his life, and he will disperse the people who change their lives. If you block me, you will be killed without mercy!"
The iron cavalry plowed over the chaotic mutineers like a gust of wind, Countless people wailing, and countless people's bodies and heads were different.
The rebels had no time to resist or even react, so they were divided into several pieces.
Immediately afterwards, the spearmen lined up in a long line and began to move forward. Wherever they passed, there were countless broken arms and limbs, and the mud had been stained with blood.
