Chapter 1357
"Let's take a break first."
Ying Yi waved her hand to let the night rest for a while.
"The situation is good right now. The Liu thief has entered the county seat exactly according to my plan." Ying Yi is quite satisfied: "You can just keep the city gate for a while. If there are thief soldiers, just fire them."
Everyone should promise not to mention it.
Many guns also require skills, but it’s not difficult to get started. Load the gunpowder, pour it into the cannon, and fire it when it is ignited. It's just that the technology is not good and the accuracy cannot be guaranteed. But Ying Yi didn't need how precise the bombardment, putting the cannon out of the city was just a deterrent, just to stop the culprits.
Ying Yi changed his simple knife, and Xueliang's blade swung: "Let me kill tonight."
Finally, he said: "Take some time to prepare some dry wood. , Killing too many people is too bloody, it takes a big fire to cleanse the sins of these thieves."
How to kill this night, no longer need to make a detailed list.
With Ying Yi’s ability to block these thousands of thieves, he one man one blade, he touched the city, he killed people when he saw them, and there was not much movement until they were almost killed. The thieves would see Horrified.
And it's too late.
killing people like scything flax, sincerely said.
...
Zhang Shi got the order of Ying Yi and brought a few clever people along the way south.
No one knows the general situation in the south better than Zhang Shi. As a hundred household officials who don't accept it at night, this is the focus of monitoring. Although monitoring was delayed because of the events of this day, for the time being, the situation has not changed much.
He took the people to the valley where Zhou Li and Zhu Bingkun were hiding in the southern foot of the mountain, and conveyed Ying Yi's order. Only then did he find Fang Chengshan all the way and head towards Yuzhou.
Yuzhou is in the south of Fangcheng Mountain, only thirty or fifty miles away. Liu Zongmin’s thieves were stationed in the north of Yuzhou, while Hao Yaoqi’s thieves were stationed in the east of Yuzhou, in the direction of Wuyang.
The two bandits were in horns and confronted the Huguang soldiers entrenched in Yuzhou City.
During this period, there were occasional small-scale battles, but they did not affect the overall situation.
Zhang Shi took a few people, avoiding the thief's sentry all the way, and came to the city of Yuzhou.
From a distance, listen to the city head yelling: "Where are you from, get out!"
Zhang Shi held the reins and did not dare to approach, for fear of being taken by the Huguang soldiers at the city head. Killed as a thief soldier, he took out a document from his arms and shouted: "I am Zhang Shi, a hundred household official under Zheng Xian Zun's subordinate of Zheng Yunzhi in Yexian County. I have a document from the county Zun, and come to see General Zuo Liangyu! "
"Ye County Zheng Yunzhi?! I don't know!"
Such words came from Chengtou.
Zhang Shihearing this, could not help being frowned, shouted: "I shot the document on the top of the city, and asked the brother at the top of the city to help pass it to General Zuo and Governor Ding. It’s about two million military salaries, please Brother at the top of the city, don't be negligent!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion at the top of the city.
After a while, I listened to the humanity: "Shoot the document up!"
Zhang Shi exhaled slightly, untied the bow and arrow, and tied the document to the arrow. Zhang Gong made a bang and shot it. Chengtou.
Zhang Shi, a senior hunter, is one of the very best.
After shooting, Zhang Shi shouted again: "Please express it to Governor Ding and General Zuo!"
After a little movement on the head of the city, there was no sound. Zhang Shi calmed down and waited secretly.
People say proud and valiant soldier, Zuo Liangyu’s army has its shape but no god. People are elite and arrogant because of the strong battle strength. However, the arrogance of Zuo Liangyu's army has nothing to do with battle strength.
Mostly, I have been with Liu thief, in front of commoners, and once I see the benefits, I will ignore everything like a dog smelling Rexiang.
I heard that it was a major event related to the two-million-dollar military salary. The soldiers on the front of the city did not dare to neglect, and quickly called people into the city. After a short while, they handed it to Zuo Liang’s jade hand.
Although Ding Qirui belongs to the Governor of Huguangbing, but in fact Ding Qirui has no power in the army. Zuo Liangyu and the others control the army, and what they say counts. So what's the matter, the first one to know is not Ding Qirui, but Zuo Liangyu.
"It has something to do with military pay?"
Zuo Liangyu got the paperwork before opening it, so he was refreshed.
The soldier said: "That's what the people said."
Zuo Liangyu was nodded, busy opening the document, and first looked at the imprint on the document, and it turned out to be the county lord seal. Looking at the text content, it suddenly assaults the senses.
Zuo Liangyu immediately believed it.
Since the Tumu Fortress change, the military meritorious group formed since the founding of the Great Ming Dynasty has suffered a major blow, gradually allowing literati to occupy the mainstream of military and political affairs, and the inferiority of civility and military strength began to manifest.
By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the power of the world was dominated by civilian officials everywhere, and often military commanders of higher rank would kneel down when they saw civilian officials of lower rank. Even now, civilian officials have to rely on military commanders, but their contempt for military commanders remains unchanged.
The nobility and contempt of the literati in the documents are clearly on the paper. When Zuo Liangyu saw it, he felt annoyed, and immediately believed the authenticity of this document.
After taking a sip, he read it carefully.
When I finished reading the documents, the expression on Zuo Liangyu's face became very strange. There was a hint of entanglement in the happiness.
"Come here, call Menggeng and Shixiu to see me."
Not long after, two people came to Zuo Liangyu one after another.
One is Zuo Menggeng, the only son of Zuo Liangyu. One is Zuo Liangyu's confidant, Ma Shixiu.
"Let's take a look."
Zuo Liangyu threw the document to Zuo Menggeng.
After Zuo Menggeng read it, he was surprised, and while handing the paper to Ma Shixiu, he said to Zuo Liangyu: "Father handsome, good opportunity!"
After a while, Ma Shixiu looked at the ten lines and knew the contents of the document. Hearing this shouted: "Zuo Shuai, two million military pay!"
Zuo Liangyu nodded: "I know it is two million. The two armies pay, but there are also some entanglements in this matter. Where is Old Ding, I am afraid that it is not justified."
Zuo Menggeng said hurriedly: "Father handsome is confused. This document is not for Old Ding's. Let me explain! Ye County’s guards were so unfavorable that the military pay fell into the hands of the thieves. The father-in-chief had the high hopes of the emperor. It was time to send troops to regain the military pay, so he could live up to the emperor’s expectations!"
In the confrontation, Zuo Liangyu originally had the intention to take the initiative. He sees that there are not many thieves, and the total amount is only about 20,000, and he has 40,000 soldiers and horses. The main force of thieves is in Kaifeng. He can take this opportunity to defeat these two thieves in order to claim credit for the Imperial Court.
There is another two million military payment. It was confusing before, and the thief had already arrived, but he didn’t know what was going on in Yexian. He was afraid that the military payment would be swallowed by the thief, so he wanted to attack.
Ding Qirui rejected Zuo Liangyu's proposal to attack rashly on the grounds that all parties had not prepared them properly.
As time passed, Zuo Liangyu was afraid that the situation here would have been known to the thieves, and gradually extinguished his idea of taking the initiative to attack. But didn't expect, at this time Ye County's paperwork arrived.
After listening to Zuo Menggeng’s words, Zuo Liangyu’s heart moved naturally. He considered it and said: "I think it’s better to ask the person first. If the situation is favorable, it will not be too late to make a decision."
