"Boom ......"

The rogues, who could never beat the officers and soldiers and were always passively beaten, collapsed, and I don't know who was the first to escape, and then more than 40,000 people turned around and ran.

"Chase!"

Luo Xin let out a shout and led the cavalry to rush towards the Liukou. The cavalry pursued the fleeing infantry, which was simply a nightmare for the infantry. The sound of bowstrings continued to sound in the sky, and one by one the rogues fell to the ground. Fifteen hundred people, divided into fifteen squads, one hundred people each, chased around the fleeing rogues.

Half an hour later, the corpses were left behind.

Luo Xin reined in the war horse, looked at the corpses on the ground, and sighed. Liu Shouyou urged the horse to come to Luo Xin's front and said:

"My lord, why sigh, they will be rogues one day."

"If ......" Luo Xin sighed again and said, "If we could have provided disaster relief in time, how could there be so many rogues?" ”

"yes!" Liu Shouyou also sighed and said, "They also want to eat a bite of food." ”

The two of them stood silently for a while, and Luo Xin said, "Go and inform the nearest government, let's each write a recital." ”

"Hmm!"

The people who notified the government left, and the people who informed the civil officials in the rear also left. Luo Xin and Liu Shouyou found a stone, laid out the paper and began to write the recital. Then Liu Shouyou sent a few brocade guards to leave with the chapter. At this time, those civil officials also rushed back, saw the dead bodies everywhere, and vomited one by one.

Luo Xin stood up, turned over and said, "Get out!" ”

Everyone got on their horses, and the civil officials also climbed into the carriage and headed towards the square of Haicheng.

After walking for about half an hour, Liu Shouyou frowned and said, "My lord, the people from Haicheng should have come, why haven't they come yet?" ”

Luo Xin frowned slightly, and Liu Shouyou lowered his voice and said, "This stream of rogues seems to be waiting for us, could it be?" ”

"Collusion between officials and bandits?" Luo Xin said lightly.

"Hmm." Liu Shouyou nodded slightly.

"The dog jumped off the wall in a hurry! Knowing that he was corrupt and couldn't live, he went to kill me, and there was a way to live. Liukou intercepted and killed us, such a big thing, now that the prefect of Haicheng has not come, then as long as there is an explanation, he has escaped. ”

"Escaped? Where to escape? ”

"Where else can I run here? Maritime. ”

"This ......"

"Run, run." Luo Xin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said secretly in his heart: "Can you escape?" ”

He had already made contact with Luo Sheng and temporarily blocked the sea area of the Daming coastline, so that the Japanese were afraid to approach. But they were just blocking from afar, but they were not close to Daming. At the same time, Luo Xin also informed Hu Zongxian and asked him to send sailors to arrest the officials who had escaped from the sea.

Hu Zongxian gladly accepted it, and did not go to fight with the Japanese invaders, but only arrested the escaped officials, and there were merits and treasures to grab, so he naturally rushed forward happily.

"Stepping on ......"

There was a sound of horses' hooves, Luo Xin and Liu Shouyou raised their eyes at the same time, and saw the Jinyi guard who had just gone to inform the prefect of Haicheng and returned on horseback. came to Luo Xin and Liu Shouyou, turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee and said:

"Report, the prefect of Haicheng and Tongzhi are gone."

"Got it, back to the team."

Luo Xin's eyes narrowed slightly: "Speed up, now that the dragons of Haicheng have no leader, they can't let Haicheng be chaotic." ”

"Yes!"

Everyone urged the war horses and galloped in the direction of Haicheng.

Haicheng.

Prefect's Yamen.

Luo Xin and Liu Shouyou sat opposite each other, and they were busy for three days, killing eighteen officials. Releasing grain for disaster relief, Rao is Luo Xin was young, and his face also showed a look of exhaustion.

"Stepping on ......"

There was a sound of footsteps, and before the person arrived, there was a hearty laugh, and the curtain was lifted. Hu Zongxian walked in.

"No, fortunately, I won't be dishonored."

Luo Xin stood up and said, "Trouble brother, let's drink a celebration wine today." ”

Liu Shouyou asked a little confused: "Two adults, what kind of celebration wine?" ”

"Hahaha......" Hu Zongxian laughed happily: "I had long expected that someone would escape from the sea, so I had already negotiated with me, and I would arrest those officials who escaped at sea." Fortunately, a lot of them were caught. Just waiting for the two adults to accept. ”

"Good! Today we are not drunk and do not return! ”

Luo Xin swept away the corrupt officials in the three southern provinces, which was called the dark days of Ming officialdom by later generations. A total of 12 officials were killed in the three provinces, and at the same time, the rogues in the three southern provinces were also swept away by the Ming army. With the extermination of the rogues, as the corrupt officials were beheaded, new officials took office, and peace was restored to the south.

The new officials were divided into the people of the Mountain School, the people of Luo Xin, the people of Gao Gong and the people of Xu Jie. There is no doubt that Luo Xin's people basically occupy high positions. When these people first ascended to official positions, they were still able to clean themselves and be conscientious. Even the people of Gao Gong and Xu Jie, who saw Luo Xin kill corrupt officials with their own eyes, even if they were greedy, they did not dare to embezzle on the cusp of this limelight. Therefore, the whole south began to see the rule of the officials.

In the three southern provinces, 112 corrupt officials were killed, 5.3 million taels of silver were copied from the house, and a large amount of land was confiscated. These lands were leased to the peasants, and the peasants had the relief of the imperial court and the land leased to them by the imperial court, and they were all settled one by one, and the roots of the exiles, the displaced people, disappeared. The South began to see a lot of life.

However, Luo Xin knew that this vigor was temporary. Because Daming's food is not enough. Even if you have money now, you have nowhere to buy food. Now there is enough food for disaster relief for a month. In the past month, not only has there been no food relief, but the other six provinces, including the capital, are running out of food.

It's nothing short of a catastrophe. If this problem cannot be solved within a month, there will be beacons all over the country immediately. This time, the Beacon Fire will no longer be a rogue, but a real rebel army. There was even a rebellion.

North Garden.

Inside the side hall of Emperor Jiajing.

Xu Jie stood in front of Emperor Jiajing, and Emperor Jiajing looked down at the chapter. The more I looked, the tighter my brow locked. In the middle of the ring, sweat oozed from Emperor Jiajing's forehead, and he felt that the music in his hand weighed a thousand catties, so he put the music on the imperial book case and looked at Xu Jiedao:

"It's all true?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it's all true."

"Xuan Gao Gong." Emperor Jiajing said in a condensed voice.

Huang Jin left in a hurry, and in less than a quarter of an hour, Gao Gong walked in.

"The Minister's High Arch ......"

"Don't worship!" Emperor Jiajing said impatiently: "Let me ask you, how much grain is there in the Ming Dynasty now?" ”

Gao Gong's face suddenly became ugly. As a cabinet assistant, how could he not read the reports of various places? Daming's finances and food, how could he not have it in his heart. These days, his hair is half white, because he also knows that Da Ming is on the edge of the cliff.
