Chapter 126 Debt Collection

"What are you doing?"

Li Shihua, the chief soldier of Baoding, who led the team, shouted like crazy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The soldiers of the Green Battalion under him were raising their bird guns one after another, but the bird guns were not aimed at the dog emperor, but at the Huihui cavalry who were cutting diagonally towards their left flank, preparing to regroup and then move forward side by side with them, while the spear and knife players in the front row were also moving forward to block the advance of those cavalry, and the latter, who did not understand what was going on, shouted and cursed while dodging in confusion.

A bird handler next to him glanced at the chief soldier with disdain, then turned his head to a Huihui cavalryman and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Suddenly there was a burst of gunfire.

The cavalry rolled off his horse as if he had been struck by a spear.

As if receiving an order, thousands of bird-stalkers pulled the trigger almost simultaneously, and in the dense gunfire, thousands of bullets shot out from the fire and gunsmoke, hitting the Huihui cavalry like a raging storm, and almost at the same time, the cavalry at the front also collided with the infantry of the green battalion because they couldn't dodge. The soldiers of the Green Battalion, who have always been known for their tragic combat effectiveness, seemed to suddenly incarnate into the Yuejia Army, bravely holding shields and spears in the impact of the cavalry, and the cavalry, which was already in chaos, was instantly continuously worn on the spears one after another, and then the sword players cut out randomly, and the Huihui cavalry who wanted to get up after landing were beheaded one after another.

"Forward, welcome the emperor, divide the fields!"

Not far from General Li, the standard-bearer roared excitedly.

With a tsunami-like roar, all the green battalion infantry in the formation squeezed forward, and spears stabbed at the remnants of the Huihui cavalry.

"You dog thieves!"

Mr. Li sat on his horse and said helplessly like an old farmer whose crops had been shoveled.

But at the same time, he also had a sense of relief, in fact, at this time, the generals of the green battalion were very aware of the outcome of this war, but they didn't want to admit it, they always had a little illusion, just like the people in the desert who were dying of thirst always imagined that there would be an oasis ahead, and now the bubble of fantasy has finally exploded, and they have completely lost their spiritual support. Li Zongbing pulled out his saber and put it on his neck for a gesture, but he never pulled it, he turned his head to look not far away, where his lieutenant was also doing the same action with him, but he also didn't have the courage to pull it down, the two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and put down the knife in unison.

After all, it's better to be alive.

Yang Feng looked at the battle ahead with satisfaction.

At this time, he was no longer interested in continuing to fight, including the Jinyi guards behind him, and they also stopped and watched the green camp besiege and beat the Huihui cavalry.

There are still three or four thousand Huihui cavalry left, after being suddenly attacked by friendly forces, in fact, there are no more than two thousand left who can fight, under the siege of the green camp ten times, they will soon disappear like a small stone in a mountain torrent, and now the green camp has the emperor watching, it is really a sacrifice to die, just this cavalry in the vast sea of 20,000 infantry, there is really no ability to struggle. Because the emperor said that none of these traitors will be left, so the green battalions have implemented the emperor's decree very thoroughly, and all the Huihui cavalry will not be spared another knife even if they surrender, and the poor five thousand Huihui cavalry have followed in the footsteps of the ten thousand monks and soldiers, and they have also made fertilizer for this vast land.

Uh, the land is really fertile.

"You still have the face to see me!"

Yang Feng looked at Li Shihua who was kneeling in front of him and a group of green camp generals and shouted.

These guys came over to greet the holy driver by themselves, anyway, they were also appointed at this time, everything is at the disposal of the emperor, it is better to come by yourself than to be arrested.

"How did I treat you in the past? How did you repay me? Li Zicheng is here, you surrender Li Zicheng, Dolgon is here, you surrender to Dolgon, is there any shame, I just give you some punishment, you dare to face me with a sword, why are you so bold at this time? I don't want to think about who gave you all your riches? Since I can give you wealth, then I can also take it back, if you could resist the rebellion as you resisted me, would you still be today? All of this is your own fault, everyone's family land and property are collected as imperial land according to the rules, and I am exiled to Taiwan and handed over to Nan'an Hou to manage, and, which of you has contributed wealth to Li Zicheng? ”

He then asked.

"Sin, the criminal minister was beaten by the rebel, and he really couldn't bear to pay them 20,000 taels."

Li Shihua said tremblingly.

"Very good, you are very rich, when I asked for help from hundreds of officials, I remember that you paid a hundred taels, at that time you cried poor but cried very simply, in this case, 20,000 minus 100, there are 19,900 taels, remember, your family still owes me 19,900 taels, no matter what method you use, you must hand over this money to me within a year, if I can't see this money after a year, your family will directly copy the door, hear clearly, you only have one year!"

Yang Feng said viciously.

Li Shihua was dumbfounded.

Isn't this about human life? Why do you still play like this? Is this still the emperor in his memory?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is gracious!"

He immediately threw himself at Yang Feng's feet and cried.

"Kai'en? You gave Li Zicheng 20,000 taels but gave me 100 taels, and now you still have the face to be gracious? I have given you mercy, am I worthy of the dead Concubine Li, Empress Yi'an and the Empress? Twenty thousand taels, one tael is not allowed to be less, one or two less I will kill your whole family, and the whole family is not enough to kill your nine clans. After a year, hand over this money, and then you go to Taiwan to be a miner for the rest of your life, and your family will be pardoned, and after a year, you won't be able to pay it to all the nine clans! Don't think that I'm just targeting you, I'm targeting all the rebels like you, if I had been ruthless back then, my relatives wouldn't have died, and now I'm going to comfort their souls in heaven with this! ”

Yang Feng roared.

Copying the house is a must, his bank is still waiting for the silver as a reserve to be used to issue paper money, how can it be possible to gather enough silver in a short period of time without copying the house, but the copying house actually can't copy much, after all, Li Zicheng plays more beautiful than him, plus this time of tossing, it is estimated that the princes and ministers in Beijing are also very tight. So we can only take a more efficient means, these officials are indeed likely to have little money, but the nine clans are different, the nine clans of the officials must be officials and gentry, they must all be rich, and according to the law, it is also reasonable and legal to punish the nine clans like them, in this case, let them take the money to buy their lives. In short, as much as they gave Li Zicheng, they had to pay him as much as they wanted, what's the matter, this is what you owe me, even if I am dead, such as Wei Zaode, the Nine Clans have to pay him the same, otherwise the Nine Clans will be punished, I believe that these guys will soon make up tens of millions of taels for him.

If you really can't make it up, then copy the property of their nine clans, and count as much as you want, and the emperor will suffer a little loss!

Who made us a good emperor!

Poor Li Zongbing cried like a tearful man, 20,000 taels of silver, a year ago he paid 20,000 taels to Li Zicheng, and finally bought the life of a family, but now he has to pay 20,000 taels to the emperor to buy the lives of his nine clans, and the sum of the front and back is 40,000 taels. But now it's too late, and if you don't want the nine clans to go to the Dharma field together, you can only find ways to make up 20,000 for the emperor, ah, 19,900 taels, thinking of this, he showed a trace of fierceness in his eyes, and stood up suddenly......

"Your Majesty, the ministers reported it, he, he, he, they all gave silver to the rebellion!"

He pointed to several generals and said.

The generals looked at him with resentful eyes, and then immediately joined in the wailing.

Well, Mr. Li's exposure can't be exchanged for his own reduction, but even so he has to expose, not only on the scene, but also on the scene, he also exposed a lot of off-site, and then the generals who were exposed by him happily exposed more, people are like this, and they have to drag a few people into the water if they are unlucky, in short, soon Yang Feng's account book already has more than five million taels of silver waiting to be collected.

This result made the emperor smile very happily, and then he waved his hand, and Jin Yiwei took away these guys who owed him debts.

At this time, the counterattack of the Qing army was gone, and even the Jin army quietly retreated after seeing the annihilation of those monks and Huihui cavalry, in fact, they were not just retreating, Jiang Xuan, who led the Jin army, was already very clear that there was no hope for this decisive battle Dolgon, and he directly led the 20,000 Jin troops to retreat west to Juyong Pass, and returned to Shanxi with Xuanhua. Their Jiang family will not be in danger for the time being, after all, there is still a natural danger of 800 miles of Taihang in the middle, and even if the emperor recaptures Beijing, the first thing he has to face is Li Zicheng in the south, at least before defeating Li Zicheng, he can't take care of attacking Shanxi, their Jiang family has enough time to make a choice, since there is no need to stay in the pass to bury Dolgon.

Yang Feng was not interested in caring about them.

As time went on, more and more Ming troops completed river crossings, and the Green Battalion continued to defect like an avalanche, in fact, the Qing army's Ji Canal defense line had been completely breached.

And the next step is to attack Jizhou.

At the same time, Wu Sangui on the southern front also conquered Baodi.

Or it can also be said that Baodi was surrendered, and the total 150,000 green battalions guarding the front line of Baodi and Sanchakou were just symbolic resistance, and soon those green battalion soldiers defected on the battlefield, and then the defense line along the river collapsed directly, and even the city gate of Baodi was opened by the green battalion itself, and Wu Sangui's 50,000 army suffered less than 1,000 casualties in the process of conquering Baodi, but the incorporated surrendered army exceeded 100,000 people, and some simply threw away their weapons and went home.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Sangui's troops attacked Xianghe and Tianjin in two ways.

Yang Feng marched north to Jizhou.
