Chapter 117: Smooth killings breed ambitions

Since the dispute with Lantian Yunzhao, Zuo Liangyu has been on the run, fleeing from Henan to Lianghu, then from Lianghu to Sichuanzhong, then from Sichuan to Lianghu, then from Lianghu to the southeast, and from Lianghu to Huainan, and finally settled in Anqing Mansion.

In the past, Zuo Liangyu was not the main purpose of Lantian Political Affairs Hall's deliberations at all, so no matter how he escaped, Lantian didn't care much.

His upheaval is just a microcosm of the changes in this great era, and it has nothing to do with Lantian.

However, when he was restrained in Anqing Mansion by Li Yan, Huang Degong and Er Liu, he finally had no escape.

In the face of Lei Heng's all-firearms army, which was armed to the teeth, in order to survive, he could only stubbornly go up.

It wasn't that he didn't think about surrendering......

No less than three letters of surrender were sent, but unfortunately, all of them were lost.

Three years ago, Zuo Liangyu had already announced to everyone in the Ming Dynasty that he would no longer care about the army and national policy, and would hand over all the troops to his son Zuo Mengeng, just wanting to be an old farmer and live his life.

Unfortunately, no one listened to his words and no one believed them.

Even after the news of his death came out, people still stubbornly believed that the army led by Zuo Mengeng was still Zuo Liangyu's.

In the past few years, Zuo Mengeng has not done anything else except running away and looting.

Although there were several victories against Zhang Bingzhong in the land of the two lakes, the victories that he finally sought were silently buried by the Ming court.

Therefore, Zuo Mengeng took his Lao Tzu and ran even faster.

When Lei Heng's army swept all the way from Jiangxi to Anqing Mansion, Zuo Mengeng had no way to escape.

The brave Zuo Mengeng wanted to fight for a way to survive for himself and his father, and took the lead in launching the fiercest charge against Lei Heng's department in the evening.

He knew that after the artillery of the Lantian army began to roar, everything would be over.

Zuo Mengeng didn't even expect the second wave of charges, so he arranged his family members and the bravest henchmen in the first wave of charges, and also arranged the rest of his subordinates into the other two teams, telling them that as long as they were caught by the Lantian army, they would all be dead.

Zuo Liangyu's army has never been a good thing, and the only difference between them and the thieves is that they have an official name.

Even they themselves knew that once they were captured alive by the Lantian army, it would be difficult to climb to the sky if they wanted to live.

Therefore, in the early morning, the three-way army, a total of 80,000 horses, launched an attack on Lei Heng's semicircular army formation with tragic determination.

The cannonballs in the sky rained down on the ground like drops, and then exploded, setting off waves of air that easily dispersed the army that was still somewhat well-organized.

80,000 people, on the five-mile-long front divided into three directions, left, center, and right, even if they were scattered, they still cried and attacked the position of the Lantian army, they hoped that as long as they were mixed up with the Lantian army, the battle situation would definitely improve, and there would be a way to live.

The distance of the military formation in just three miles is as if it is on the horizon.

Zuo Liangyu was dressed in an ordinary battle armor, did not ride a horse, mixed in the group of soldiers, and advanced by leaps and bounds.

Although there were shells falling from time to time in the sky, he was always able to avoid the explosion point at the first time, and he even found on the way to attack that as long as it was blown up, no shells would fall again.

The battlefield was shrouded in black smoke, and Zuo Liangyu believed that such smoke would be beneficial to the attacking side.

It's just that those tattered corpses that were blown up make it difficult for Zuo Liangyu to come to such a conclusion.

Bullets began to rattle in the black smoke, Zuo Liangyu knew keenly that Lantian Jun was in front of him, he carefully crouched in a crater, grabbed a tattered corpse and covered his body, making himself look like a dead man.

The soldiers who rushed out of the smoke in a hurry began to shine in front of their eyes, and their bodies trembled like a sieve, and in an instant, their bodies were beaten into real sieves by bullets.

Sometimes the wind will blow away the smoke, which allows Zuo Liangyu to clearly see the opponent's military formation, the military formation is not far from Zuo Liangyu's hiding place, according to Zuo Liangyu's measurement, according to the speed at which the Lantian soldiers activate the firecracker, if he avoids the firecracker and shoots three times, he can rush to the Lantian military formation.

He looked at it with great eyes, and the Lantian military formation was indeed the same as he had guessed, the military formations on the left and right sides looked very thick, but the middle looked much weaker.

A group of cavalry rushed out of the thick smoke, and behind the cavalry, followed by about 300 people, and the cavalry Zuo Liangyu at the head saw very clearly that it was Liu Chu, a fierce general under his command.

Zuo Liangyu couldn't bear to jump out of the pit, he wanted to see if there was still an ambush here.

Things were similar to what he expected, just when Liu Chu led more than twenty horsemen and was about to rush to the front of the military formation, the Lantian soldiers opposite him were still unhurriedly setting off the firearms.

In front of these people, a row of thick cannon barrels suddenly rose.

"Dodge."

Zuo Liangyu couldn't help but scream, but unfortunately, it was too late, and a large stream of flames suddenly erupted from those thick cannon barrels, and the flames were mixed with countless black iron balls, which even formed a wall in front of those Lantian soldiers who were armed with firearms, and this moving wall quickly pushed out horizontally, tearing Liu Chu, who was close to him, and his cavalry into a pile of minced meat.

As for the foot soldiers who had already followed the charge, they were also killed and wounded by these shotguns.

"Keep rushing ......"

Zuo Liangyu shouted anxiously, but unfortunately, the soldiers who had already rushed through the middle line fled back one after another, and then were killed on the road by those Lantian musketeers one by one.

In the following time, Zuo Liangyu watched this mindless attack countless times, until the attack became sparse, and Zuo Liangyu did not find a better chance to escape than the one created by Liu Chu.

At this moment, he heard a very shrill whistle blowing in the Lantian army on the opposite side, and those soldiers with firearms were lining up to force forward step by step.

Zuo Liangyu sighed and slowly thought about it...... He didn't stupidly stay where he was and pretend to be a corpse, he had seen the way the Lantian army cleaned up the battlefield, and every enemy killed had to be stabbed again with a bayonet.

The sound of artillery sounded at the head of the city of Anqing Mansion, and the black shells crossed the sky, and finally fell to the ground, and after jumping a few times on the soft land in the south of the Yangtze River, they stopped in place, and more shells smashed directly into the mud, and they did not move.

Zuo Liangyu, who was covered in mud and water, continued to crawl forward, he didn't dare to stand up, and those who stood up and ran away were all shot dead by the approaching Lantian soldiers.

A pair of muddy boots suddenly appeared in front of him, and he saw a shiny bayonet stabbing down on his head.

Zuo Liangyu howled, rolled and avoided it, and then more spears pierced him.

No one shouted, everyone just stabbed the bayonet down again and again like a whack-a-mole, and everyone was counting in their hearts, eager to see how many times the old thief in front of them could dodge.

A man who looked like an officer roared angrily, and these soldiers with a teasing mentality worked together to stab the bayonets together, avoiding the inevitable Zuo Liangyu's arms and legs, and couldn't help shouting: "I'm Zuo Liangyu." ”

The soldiers were stunned for a moment, but they saw their commander striding over, raising his firecracker, piercing Zuo Liangyu's throat with a heavy bayonet, and then yelled at his subordinates: "Forward!" ”

Zuo Liangyu's mouth gushed out a large stream of blood, and after a while, he slowly closed his eyes, he felt that there was nothing to regret when he died at this time.

In the first battle of Anqing Mansion, Zuo Liangyu and Zuo Mengeng were killed on the spot, and the army of tens of thousands of people, after all, some people escaped, but the people nearby were really miserable by Zuo Liangyu's army.

Those soldiers who escaped by luck failed to earn their lives, and it was not only the Lantian army that killed them, but also the people who suffered terribly.

Yun Zhao came out of the People's Palace and saw many people standing on the long steps.

When he was confused, he heard Pei Zhong say: "Your Majesty, today is the open day of the People's Palace, and the people of Guanzhong heard that the seventeen Ming seals were placed here, and they all wanted to open their eyes." ”

Yun Zhao nodded, seeing that he had been recognized by some people, he beckoned to those people, and then re-entered the People's Palace, obviously, today, the door in front of him could not go.

Going out from the back of the People's Palace, you will arrive at Zhang Guozhu's Prime Minister's Mansion.

Yun Zhao was in no mood to deal with Zhang Guozhu, because of the whereabouts of the silver they stole from Xia Wanchun, Zhang Guozhu had been annoying him for several days.

Half of the silver that the army gets is to be used as military pay, which is certain, and there is nothing to be accommodating.

As for spending all the money on repairing the capital, Yun Zhao disagreed, at this time, the most important thing is the people's livelihood that is full of holes, as for the palace that has been made a lot of poop by Li Hongji, it can be put to rest.

He wasn't going to live there anyway.

Since the city of Shuntianfu has been designated as the northern capital, it is enough to go once a year or a few years, so what to do in a hurry to repair the palace.

In Yunzhao's planning, the future Ming Dynasty cannot have only one capital, and a capital should be placed in the southeast, south, and northwest.

As for Yushan City, it is good to use it as a daily place of work.

The reason for this establishment is purely for the sake of the future.

Yun Zhao insisted that the territory of the Ming Dynasty would become very large in the future, and the boundary monuments of Lantian would also spread to any place where the Lantian army set foot.

Just like Han Xiufen did, the Lantian boundary monument was arranged at the mouth of the Malacca River.

People's confidence comes from a steady stream of victories, and for now, Yun Zhao can receive news of the Lantian army marching forward every day, which in turn has given rise to Yun Zhao's strong self-confidence.

Back at home, Yun Zhao flicked the globe that Yushan Academy had just made, and said to Qian Duoduo: "You said yesterday that you want a large piece of grassland to ride, where do you want?" ”
