"Big boss, what should we do now?"

"It's okay, Lao Tzu hasn't fallen yet. Let's go, follow Lao Tzu to Zhangjia Village on the north bank. We have been dormant for a while, and the officers and soldiers are all northerners. Sooner or later, they will have to leave, and they don't believe that their Guanzhong people can stay in this Dongting Lake for a long time. Zhang Shisan said quite confidently. The reason why he escaped the encirclement and suppression of the army many times in the Sui period was because most of the soldiers in the imperial court were northerners, and it was difficult for them to adapt to the environment in this Dongting Lake.

Epidemics, soil and water adaptation are a frequent occurrence. Under normal circumstances, if they don't live for a year and a half, the imperial court has to transfer them away. When they are gone, it will be time for Zhang 13 to make a comeback. The three caves of the cunning rabbit, Zhangjia Village is Zhang Shisan's hometown. However, Zhang Shisan has never told anyone about it, and he has long left a way out for himself here.

Just when Zhang 13 rushed to Zhangjia Village, his younger brother Zhang 17 was sitting on Yun Hao's boat. He was captured along with more than 2,000 bandits.

These bandits are all henchmen of the Zhang family brothers, when chaos arises. They all followed the Zhang brothers, but they didn't expect that a battle would turn into a chaotic battle. However, chaotic battles are chaotic battles, Zhang Shisan has been crisscrossing Dongting Lake for many years, and few of the bandits don't know him. At the critical moment, Mr. Zhang Shisan's inspiration exploded. Covered his face and changed into the clothes of the burnt bag, grabbed it in the human wall composed of the guards, and sneaked away.

Zhang Qiqi found that his eldest brother was missing, and led the bandits to rush to find him. After searching for a long time, more than 2,000 people died but did not find them. In desperation, he could only lead the remnants of the army to retreat.

As soon as he returned to his water village, he was blocked by Li Wenzhong. Zhang Qiqi had learned the power of gunpowder weapons, and Li Wenzhong only shot a few rounds of gunpowder crossbows. Zhang Qiqi immediately recognized the surrender of current affairs!

"How can you treat the heroes of the imperial court like this, Master Zhangzhai, you have been wronged." Zhang Seventeen was brought to Yun Hao, and Zhang Seventeen, who was about to be stabbed, suddenly heard Yun Hao's words and couldn't help but be stunned. When he looked at Yun Hao, Yun Hao had already come to him to personally help him untie the rope.

Zhang Qiqi was stunned and couldn't speak, at this time he was very glad that he didn't scold just now. If you just opened your mouth and cursed, you would probably have been thrown into the lake to feed the fish.

"This battle greatly damaged the vitality of the bandits, and Mr. Zhang contributed a lot. My father will definitely invite the court to reward your two brothers. I haven't found your eldest brother now, and after I find it, you will all live in Yueyang City. Don't live in this water village anymore and suffer! Yun Hao motioned for his soldiers to help Zhang Qiqi up, and politely asked him to sit opposite him. This flattered Zhang Qiqi, and the frightened donkey jumped up.

"Thank you, Marshal, for remembering our brothers, my brothers suffered heavy casualties in this battle. The eldest brother doesn't know ...... life and death! Thinking of the tragic situation of this battle, Zhang Qiqi couldn't help crying.

"Mr. Zhang doesn't have to be excited, Zhang Zhai Zhuji people have their own natural appearance, and they will definitely be fine. Your brothers also went to Yueyang together, and the guild sent someone to heal the wounded. Yun Hao enthusiastically pulled Zhang Qiqi to sit down, and his attitude was a mess. Ling Jing, Wang Zhe and the others next to him didn't believe it, this was the lonely grandfather of the country last night.

"Thank you, Grandpa Guo! In the future, our brother's life will be the grandfather of the country, and the sword mountain will be on the sea of fire. In this life, there is no difference between Grandpa Dingguo! Zhang Qiqi never thought that he was a piece of meat on the chopping board today, and Yun Hao could still treat him like this.

You know, they're not big bosses with tens of thousands of troops right now. More than 2,000 remnants of his troops were defeated, and the water village was also taken away. If Yun Hao didn't take it in, it would be a problem for more than 2,000 people to even eat.

Now Zhang Qiqi regrets it very much, why did he doubt the authenticity of Yun Hao's surrender in the first place. The losses in this battle were too heavy! Looking at the water village being demolished, think about the scenery of the past. Zhang Seventeen burst into tears!

The water village was demolished by the soldiers in an orderly manner, just like Ma Boss. This water village was also built on a small island, and the dismantled wood was piled up on the island. The sailors who were contacted by the armed were on the boat and watched the Tang soldiers demolish their homes, but fortunately, their parents, wives and children were placed in the open space to sit. Since there is nothing to do, there is no one to make a noise. The scene was eerily quiet!

It is not easy to build a water village, but it is very simple to dismantle. As long as the iron and wood used as support were cut off, a large area of the walled city could be demolished. If you pull it to the shore again, it will be considered a full life.

Although it was done quickly, Li Wenzhong was still not satisfied. He came up with a simpler and more violent way to tie gunpowder to the ironwood. After an earth-shattering roar, the ironwood, which had been split continuously for half a day, was immediately broken in two. Even a large wall on the side was blown up.

When Zhang Qiqi was about to surrender, many fierce people still had slander in their hearts. It's just that it hindered the prestige of the second boss in the past, so he put down his arms. Now that I see the power of the bomb, I am deeply convinced by the wise actions of the second leader. If you hadn't surrendered then, you would have gone into the water to feed the fish by now.

Although Yun Hao said it beautifully, the supervision of these water bandits has not been relaxed. The weapons, of course, were to be confiscated, and even the masts of the warships were cut off. Their boat was not big, and there was no problem in being towed by Li Wenzhong's sea boat.

Small boats, like sharks, swam around them. Those who wanted to take the opportunity to get into the water were also intimidated by those powerful crossbows and did not dare to enter the water. Although Erzhai advocated that the seventeenth state said that the officers and troops had accepted their surrender, the situation in front of them made them uneasy.

The water village was quickly demolished, and the wood was piled up in the cottage. The old and infirm also got on the conscripted fishing boats, and made sure that there was no one on the island. Li Wenzhong gave an order, and more than a dozen incendiary bombs were thrown into it with green smoke.

"Coax!" After the incendiary bomb exploded, orange flames rose into the sky along with black smoke. The messy accumulation of wood suddenly became a sea of fire. The wood was wet, so there was a lot of smoke coming out. Li Wenzhong was afraid that he would not be able to light it, so he threw in more than a dozen giant incendiary bombs with an order.

This time it can be regarded as burning, and the whole island burns like a torch. The smoke seemed to be reaching into the sky, and a suffocating heat wave could be felt from a thousand paces away.

Zhang Qiqi closed his eyes in pain, and a fire burned their brother's hard work for twenty years. It took 20 years to build this water village, but it only took half a day to destroy it.

The sun had already set in the west, and Yun Hao's fleet dragged the warship back to Yuezhou City. The island, once the first village of Dongting Lake, is still burning, and the fire will turn it into ruins. Perhaps, this place will become an eternal legend. But his story is over!

The water bandits were placed in the barracks outside the city, and Yun Hao did not break his promise. A medical officer will be stationed inside, and the wounded bandits will be treated. Clean water, warm adobe houses, and a fragrant meal. Finally let the water bandits' worried hearts settle down, and it seems that the officials and soldiers do not plan to kill themselves. Otherwise, who will give themselves white rice.

In addition to not allowing them to enter and leave the camp at will, there were no restrictions on their movements. Zhang Baoxiang hasn't come back yet, and the placement of them is a matter of magistrates, and Yun Hao doesn't want to interfere too much. However, these people are dismantled, and it is inevitable to send them to various places. They must not be allowed to live together in a group, that will become the biggest unstable factor in Yueyang City.

Zhang Qiqi did not live in the barracks, he followed Yun Hao back to the Chinese army. He was so familiar with the place that he even had a house here.

When I came to this house, I thought that I had lived here a month ago. In a short period of time, the changes are simply vicissitudes. Xiong Kuohai was a friend of all kinds, and brought people brand-new bedding, and left two maids before leaving. said that he was afraid of the boredom of his brother's residence, and sent it to help relieve his boredom!

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

"Uncle Nine! What does Chu Guogong mean by this, his father wants to serve in front of the army alone. Ke Gu had just arrived outside Yueyang City, and the battle had already been fought. Could it be that he didn't want to give Lone a chance to kill the enemy? Li Chengqian looked at Li Daoyan depressedly, and his hand holding the newspaper in his hand trembled a little.

"The prince doesn't need to be in a hurry, when you enter Yueyang City, you can see how many seizures have been reported by Yun Hao. This is a money tuberculosis, and he still cares about it when he sees money. However, you said that it is impossible to fight if the water bandits have been wiped out, how can 100,000 water bandits be decided in a battle. The people who fled must be the majority, and the prince still has a chance to promote martial arts. "Li Er sent Li Daoyan and Li Chengqian together, which was really a wise decision.

The young Li Chengqian is not the opponent of Yun Hao, a young fox. The child needs protection, so this uncle, who has a good relationship with Yun Hao, appears on the scene.

"Captured on the battlefield, it will go to the treasury!" Even as a crown prince, he received a royal education since he was a child, but it could not change the fact that he was only twelve years old. In a child's world, right and wrong are always clear and clear. Since the law of the country stipulates it, it has to be done.

"Prince! This is the battlefield, do you think the soldiers are really fighting for the Tang Dynasty and the country? Of course, there are people with high morals, ideals and beliefs. But it is definitely not the majority, and most of the soldiers are still for their own calculations. The officials are for promotion, and the soldiers below are naked for getting rich.

Do you think that so many soldiers are willing to work hard for Yun Hao, for those rewards issued by the imperial court? During the Wude period, the disabled received no more than 20 quintals of millet and two horses of silk every year. For the deceased, a reward of twenty acres of land will be given. Family members are exempt from taxation and forced labor for five years.

Look at Yun Hao again, not only are there rewards for winning battles. Those who are disabled on the battlefield can receive 20 yuan of rice and grain every year, and the deceased can receive 100 yuan of money. Moreover, the family can also receive rice grain from the Yun family every month. Do you think that the Yun family's Jinshan Yinhai transferred money to the family, where did the money go? ”

"Grace comes from above, Yun Hao's grace is to invite people's hearts." When Li Chengqian heard this, he immediately blew up the pot. This country belongs to his Li family, even if it is to invite the Li family to buy people's hearts, the Li family has to invite them to buy, why is Yun Hao a duke?

"My Majesty, Your Majesty has a deep understanding of the Candlelight. Do you think Yun Hao is doing this loudly, and the court will not know? Your Majesty will not know? Not to mention Your Majesty, even if it is Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and others, they can be regarded as first-class characters. Are they also confused? Li Daoyan's series of questions made Li Chengqian dumbfounded and didn't know how to answer.

Daddy is like a giant dragon, controlling everything in the world. The Hundred Cavalry Division is pervasive, and it is indeed difficult to hide the affairs of Datang from him. Could it be that all this is Daddy's acquiescence?

"Uncle Nine......! Please clear up your nephew's doubts! "Li Chengqian is a good boy, and a good boy will ask questions if he doesn't understand something.

"Hey......! It's not that the court doesn't want to do this, but that the court has no money. What do you think is going on with the water bandits in this Dongting Lake becoming bigger, although there were also lake bandits during the Wude period, there were definitely not so many. It was not for the sake of the war on the steppe, the increase in taxes. It is not so much a rebellion of the people gathered by the people to rebel, but rather a rebellion by the officials and the people.

No money! But the world is not peaceful, and there are Turks in the north. What about domestic? There are also Feng Ang in the southeast and Liao people in the southwest. What about the Northeast? Liaodong is still occupied by Goryeo, and although the northwest is now peaceful, it also has the likes of Li Jihou Junji, who are constantly purifying with a large army. Strong enemies are surrounded by internal opposition, and Datang does not have an army that can fight, how can it be done. ”

"So my father acquiesced to Yun Hao taking his own money to compensate those soldiers?" Li Chengqian suddenly realized.

"Yes! How can Datang not have soldiers to fight! Think about it, starting with the Emperor Taishang's army. Yun Hao led the troops, and these soldiers eventually became the cornerstone of Zuo Wuwei. In the affairs of Xuanwu Gate, Zuo Wuwei also made great contributions. Over the years, they have fought in the east and west, and they have already become the strongest army in the Tang Dynasty.

Your Majesty is not unaware of the calamities that this strong army will bring in the hands of one person. But there is no way, things can only come step by step. Fortunately, Yun Hao didn't mean to control Zuo Wuwei. Over the years, except for one Sheng Yan Division. Zuo Wuwei's officers were at the disposal of the imperial court.

Every year, the imperial court would transfer some officers from Zuo Wuwei. And then fell in from other guards, although General Zuo Wuwei has always been Sheng Yan's division, but the officers have changed a few times. This is also your father, just in case. And Yun Hao has never objected, so your father can rest assured that the Yun family will control Zuo Wuwei. "After telling Li Chengqian so much, I also arrived at Yueyang Wharf in front.

Yun Hao stood on the dock with Zuo Wuwei's officers, and Li Wenzhong escorted Li Chengqian on both sides with naval warships. The fleet drove into the wharf of Yueyang City, and for a while, the gongs and drums were noisy, and the firecrackers were ringing in unison, and the colorful flags were displayed in a crowd of people.
