Chapter 111 When you have nothing to say, you talk nonsense

The territory of the Ming Dynasty has changed a lot.

The ancient empire that had ruled the land for two hundred and eighty years was finally exhausted.

Whether it is the east at sunrise, or the west at sunset, or the snowy north, or the south with the four seasons of Changchun, the former majestic Forbidden City no longer has supreme binding force on them.

War, rebellion, disease, famine, and poverty became the main colors of the land.

The setting sun shone on this vast ancient dynastic land, staining everything with a layer of blood.

Qian Shaoshao sat on a huge ancient tree towering into the sky, eating beans while looking at the smoke billowing Luoyang.

The city was broken.

Li Hongji used 100,000 taels of gold to buy 100,000 catties of gunpowder and 2,000 cannons from Qian Shaoshao, which were originally intended to be sold to King Fu.

He filled the moat with human corpses, and used these gunpowders to blow up the fortified city of Luoyang, and then, like ants, his soldiers and horses poured into Luoyang City along the more than ten gaps that were blown up.

Accompanying Qian Shaoshao to sit on the ancient tree and watch the end of Luoyang was also the messenger of King Fu.

Now, the envoy watched in amazement as the thieves poured into Luoyang City, and tears flowed into the river.

"Now, the gunpowder and cannons from my Lantian County can supply King Fu at a low price."

Qian Shaoshao threw a bean into his mouth, chewing it squeaked, but his voice was very calm.

The messenger said in a sad voice: "My wife and children are all in the city. ”

Qian Shaoshao looked at the envoy strangely and said, "Since your wife and children are all in the city, you are still bargaining with me at this time, wasting a whole day.

You see, you are unwilling to pay, but Li Hongji is willing to pay, 100,000 taels of gold, without blinking an eyelid, handing over on the spot, and taking the goods on the spot.

What do you think? Did you hear the dozen or so noises just now?

They are all genuine good things, and the goods in Lantian County are expensive, which is expensive. ”

The envoy pointed at Qian Shaoshao angrily and said, "How can you sell gunpowder and cannons to thieves?" ”

Qian Shaoshao said in surprise: "You forgot, we are actually thieves too!"

It's our group of thieves who have helped King Fu several times, but your prince treats us as fools.

Last time in Funiu Mountain, in order to prevent disasters for Luoyang, my county lord insisted on persuading Li Hongji's army to go back, and you didn't even give a mere 10,000 taels of gold as a reward.

Rewarded with 5,000 taels of silver - do you think my county is called Huazi?

I'll laugh at the money you brought this time. ”

When he had finished speaking, he pushed the messenger down from the tree.

The branches of the tree seven or eight feet high, coupled with the fat body of the messenger, fell silent after falling to the ground screaming from the tree.

Just as the envoy landed, the black-clothed man brought by Qian Shaoshao was slaughtering the guards of the Fuwang Mansion.

In fact, it didn't take much time, and after Qian Shaoshao climbed down from the tree, all the more than fifty guards of the Fuwang Mansion were killed.

In fact, the skills of these guards are not bad, but they have no fighting spirit and are bent on surrendering, so they die quickly.

Sixteen carriages naturally became a small amount of money.

He ordered someone to smash open a box, glanced at the golden ingots inside, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, he finally got the money that his brother-in-law wanted, and there was still a lot of room left.

The carriage quickly left the outskirts of Luoyang, but Qian Shaoshao did not leave, and it was not until a dusty young man rode over that he got up from the recliner and threw the kettle to the young man.

"There are only so many people coming."

Qian Shaoshao looked at the endless stream of horse-drawn convoys and said, "There are still people who sacrifice their lives and money? ”

The young man said: "There is no way, Li Hongji said when he broke the city, he only asked about the government, did not loot people's property, did not kill the people, and said that killing one person is like killing his father, and lewd one person is like lewd."

Many people think that Li Hongji, as a king, should be a person who counts his words, so he is reluctant to go to Guanzhong. ”

Qian Shaoshao shook his head and said, "Then there is no way, give up Simon?" ”

The young man said: "Hao Shaoqi is more face-saving, and specially gave us an hour to pack up our belongings, and after I came out, Hao Shaoqi blocked the west gate of Luoyang."

There was no quarrel, neither did we touch our goods. ”

Qian Shaoshao said: "You should provoke Hao Shaoqi, if he robs you of the goods you carry, it will be great." ”

The young man shook his head and said, "It's not proper, Li Hongji's ministry is very unkind to us, and it can be seen that Hao Shaoqi endured his anger and gave us an hour's time." ”

"Where's the money in King Fu's mansion?"

The young man sighed and said: "It's too much, before the city is broken, we have captured the treasure house of King Fu, and it took three hours of busy time to take away half of the things in King Fu's treasury, but fortunately, all the valuable things have been taken, and the silver ingots of seven or eight warehouses and the copper coins of more than ten warehouses have not had time to take away."

Cheap Li Hongji. ”

Qian Shaoshao frowned and said, "Then hurry up and make peace with Yun Yang as soon as possible, I am very worried that Li Hongji will catch up when he finds out that the treasure house of King Fu is half empty." ”

The young man nodded again and again, this time he had made too much money, and he was also worried.

Qian Shaoshao walked at the back of the team, and the team in front of him was crying, he couldn't help but shake his head, he didn't know what these people thought, compared to the rich people who stayed in the city, they were in heaven at the moment.

The poor are not afraid of Li Hongji, and some even welcome Li Hongji.

The rich people were very afraid, and they understood that as long as Li Hongji came, the world would become the world of the poor.

The people who are more afraid than the rich are the officials, but they are always the first and fastest people to get the news and make a decision.

Before Li Hongji arrived, a large number of officials in Luoyang had already left with their families.

Guanzhong does not welcome these people, unless his hometown is in Guanzhong, and he must ensure that the governors of his origin are willing to accept them.

Even if these people come to Guanzhong, it is completely impossible to become officials.

Because of this reason, these people are also reluctant to enter Guanzhong, after all, people who have become officials have some ways, and if they leave Luoyang, as long as they are willing to spend money, it is feasible to go to other places to be officials.

The wealthy households who entered Guanzhong, most of them were born and raised in Luoyang, and they became the foundation of several generations to have the current rich life, and after leaving Luoyang, it indicates that they took the initiative to abandon most of their family business.

When Qian Shao saw Yun Yang, Yun Yang was as happy as a big horse monkey.

"That's a lot of money......"

Seeing Yun Yang lying on the money box and calling affectionately, Qian Shaoshao said in a low voice: "Do you want to intercept a little?" ”

Yun Yang just grinned and wanted to say okay, fart. But he began to feel a faint pain, remembering his father's gloomy face, and quickly shook his head and said, "No, I can't take it!" You're hurting me! ”

Qian Shaoshao opened the box and exposed the gold, and said with a smile: "I won't say it." ”

Yun Yang looked around, shook his head resolutely, and said, "If you don't say it, naturally someone will say it." ”

Qian Shaoshao closed the money box with a bang and said: "You really have to be careful in the future, don't see the money and your eyes will glow, the patriarch has changed, and your aunt can whip you to confuse the matter."

Do you think that in the hands of my brother-in-law, you can still use family methods to get through?

I can't say that I have to face the pig. ”

"You know this, and you instigated me to intercept it."

"I just saw that you like money so much, so I cooperated, after all, so much money can't be moved, it's too torturous."

As the two spoke, a large puff of smoke and dust rose on the horizon.

The rich men who were resting were frightened and screamed, jumped into the carriage one by one and ran, and for a while, the sound of crying father and mother sounded again.

Yun Yang was furious, waved his hand, and the trumpeter blew his horn, and groups of cavalry slowly emerged from the cols, behind the hills, and in the woods, and lined up on the plain, waiting for the enemy to arrive.

With a cannon shot, a black iron ball flew out of the edge of the hill, and when it landed, it did not explode, but emitted a puff of yellow smoke.

And more than ten groups of cavalry, each of them also had a horse out of the horse, after leaving the brigade for a hundred paces, he sat on the horse and opened his bow, and the arrows squeaked and screamed in an arc in mid-air, and finally landed in their predetermined position.

The smoke and dust on the opposite side gradually dispersed, and a cavalryman slowly came out of the group, and finally stopped at the side of the cannonball that was still emitting yellow smoke, waiting for the general on the opposite side to come out and talk to him.

In the Lantian army, there has never been a military example of the main general standing in front of the military formation and talking to people, Yun Yang naturally will not stand out, the fool on the opposite side likes to be a target for birds, he doesn't want to.

The conversation before the battle has always been a matter of the deputy general, and Yun Yang's deputy general is now in Tongguan, so Qian Shaoshao volunteered to fight and step forward.

Seeing Liu Zongmin's bitter face, Qian Shaoshao smiled.

Liu Zongmin said in a deep voice: "We fought hard for twenty-one days and lost 13,000 brothers, and you Lantian County took away the treasure of the Tai Banfu King without spending a single soldier, so you want to leave like this?" ”

Qian Shaoshao said: "It's not a day or two since Lantian County planned the treasure of King Fu, this deal is about to succeed, but King Chuang wants to come to eat black and eat black, it is your injustice first." ”

Liu Zongmin's eyes flickered, and he said coldly: "Don't deceive people too much. ”

Qian Shaoshao sneered: "Why don't I go back, and you will start a fight with General Yun Yang?" ”

Liu Zongmin looked at the light cavalry waiting in the distance, as well as the rows of black holes in the hills, and sighed: "We are a family, so I ask you who are in charge, why would you be treacherous and not overturn the Dog Emperor with us, but become the lackeys of the Dog Emperor?" ”

Qian Shaoshao said: "Are you teaching us how to do things?" ”

Liu Zongmin pointed at Qian Shaoshao sadly and angrily: "Now, King Chuang has taken Luoyang, and the Eight Kings have taken Wuchang is just around the corner. ”

Qian Shaoshao frowned and said: "Naturally, we can send troops out of Shanxi, not only Shanxi can send troops, but we can also send troops from Lantian City to attack the Beijing Division."

The question is, after defeating the Jingshi and getting rid of Chongzhen, are King Chuang and the Eight Kings willing to respect my county as the emperor? ”

Liu Zongmin said: "My king Chuang now has millions of soldiers, and there are countless capable people under his command, how can you be the deputy of Yunzhao, if you are willing to join forces together, King Chuang said, the position of prime minister is none other than your county." ”

Qian Shaoshao laughed angrily, pointed at Liu Zongmin with his hand, slowly retreated, and said loudly: "Do you think that one-eyed grass-headed king of your family deserves to let my county call him an emperor?"

Liu Zongmin, you are a Lantian person in vain!

I will report to the county when I go back, and you will not be allowed to call yourself a Lantian person from now on! ”
