Three days after Li Zixiao broke through Zhouzhuang, they have been transporting money and grain to the White Snake Village, but fortunately, at this time, the bandits in Yongcheng County did not dare to attack Li Zixiao's White Dragon Army, and the task of transporting money and grain was very smooth.

And with the passage of time, the news that the White Dragon Army had broken through Zhouzhuang also spread rapidly.

Not only did the surrounding Zhuangbao big families know, but even the Yongcheng County Commander Wang Yong, the people of the Cai family and the Liu family all knew about it.

Their first reaction when they heard the news was not to believe it, but the person who reported it to them was conclusive.

And with the arrival of more and more news later, it was confirmed that the news was not wrong, and Li Zixiao led his White Dragon Army to break through Zhouzhuang in only one day.

This is simply incredible, but anyone who hears the news is amazed.

And the news came to Wang Yong, the county commander, the Liu family, and especially the people of the Cai family, it was like a bolt from the blue!

They know how strong Zhouzhuang is, to be honest, even the Yongcheng county where they are located, in terms of defense, is inferior to Zhouzhuang!

This is such a fortified fortress, which was captured by the White Dragon Army in one day, which made everyone deeply afraid of the White Dragon Army.

"Hey, I really didn't expect that Liu Qianhu would fail to encircle and suppress this bandit before, this bandit is really not to be underestimated, and now they have defeated Zhouzhuang.

With the wealth of Zhouzhuang, it is enough to feed thousands of bandits, and it is estimated that the strength of this white dragon bandit is about to grow again, which is too much of a threat to our Yongcheng County.

No, I have to report to the higher authorities as soon as possible, and ask them to send a large army to suppress the bandits as soon as possible.

Otherwise, let this bandit continue to grow, and I'm afraid there will be another chaotic army! At that time, it will be difficult for the county to be saved."

Wang Yong, the county magistrate of Yongcheng County, was also anxious at this time, like an ant on a hot pot, turning around, thinking about asking for help from the imperial court again.

On the other hand, the two big families in the county, Cai and Liu, were also panicked at this time, and they were worried that once Li Zixiao came to attack Yongcheng County, would this small county town be able to hold it?

If Li Zixiao leads people to break through Yongcheng County, with the deliberate behavior of the two of them to deal with Li Zixiao before, it is estimated that the fate of the two of them will never be better than that of the Zhou family.

Therefore, the two families invariably got together to discuss, and finally the two other large landlords in the county town vomited blood for the first time to make up 10,000 taels of silver.

Then found Wang Yong, the commander of Yongcheng County, and under the pressure of Li Zixiao's White Dragon Army outside, the two old foxes were able to release their previous suspicions and work together.

Wang Yong took the money donated by these big households, recruited hundreds of young people, formed a city guard team in the county seat, and began to practice to guard against Li Zixiao's possible attack on the city.

And the Cai and Liu families also began to use outsiders as nurses, and the reason why they did not recruit locals was because they were afraid of following in the footsteps of the Zhou family!

How Zhouzhuang was breached, they have all heard about it, and now they dare to use those tenants!

The big families in Yongcheng County also followed the actions of the two families, and for a time there was chaos in Yongcheng County, but it did not have much impact on the lives of the people.

Even a lot of gossip quickly circulated among the people, rumors about the White Dragon Army, both good and bad, needless to say, of course, those big families deliberately sent people to spread it.

There was a mess in Yongcheng County, and the big families outside the city were all busy, but they were not busy recruiting Zhuang Ding, but they were busy running away.

Also recruit a fart Zhuangding, look at the strong Zhuangbao in Zhouzhuang, hundreds of people have not been able to hold Zhuangzi for a day.

Their forts are far worse than those of Zhouzhuang, and with the case of Zhouzhuang, they no longer dare to use the tenants of Zhuangxia to guard the forts for them.

This is simply a plan to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, you can't beat it, you can't defend it, then there is only one way to choose, of course, it's to run.

As for what to do if they leave Zhuangbao behind after they run away, they can still take care of it at this time, let's save their lives first, after all, they can take most of their property if they escape by themselves.

If they wait for Li Zixiao to bring someone to the door, they will have nothing, and they won't even be able to save their lives!

So, in the days after Li Zixiao conquered Zhouzhuang, the remaining dozen or so large landlords in Yongcheng County packed their bags, loaded their savings into trucks, and prepared to run away.

But these landlords and old rich people have too many things at home, and their families are big, so how can it be so easy to leave if they want to shake their butts.

After loading the silver, they still have those silk and satin, as well as those pigs, horses, cattle and sheep, as well as those beautiful wives and concubines, and a large group of lazy people.

Therefore, in these landlords' old money plans, it was originally only a day or two to prepare to run away, but it was postponed again and again.

And at this time, Li Zixiao is still staying in Zhouzhuang, what is he doing?

At this time, the order of Zhouzhuang has been fully restored, the Zhou family has been slaughtered, the slaves of the Zhou family have been dismissed, and the villagers of Liucun who were originally in the village have also returned to their homes outside the village.

At this time, Zhouzhuang had become the lair of the White Dragon Army and turned into a military camp.

The Zhou family's mansion was burned to ashes by the fire that night, which happened to be convenient for Li Zixiao, and he didn't want to let himself and his subordinates live in these blue brick mansions every day.

The rest of the Zhou family's other mansions were also demolished by Li Zixiao's order, and then a barracks-style dormitory was built one after another, and a school field and shooting range were built.

Li Zixiao personally made a plan to build Zhouzhuang into a small fortress-like castle, and he was even thinking about how to deal with the upcoming second large-scale encirclement and suppression of the official army.

Obviously, Li Zixiao has planned to make good use of this Zhouzhuang, with strong village walls, excellent defensive design, a large amount of grain stored in the village, and a well, so he is not afraid of the siege of the official army at all.

This is also one of the reasons why Li Zixiao wants to use Zhouzhuang as the new stronghold of the White Dragon Army, he is confident that if he puts hundreds of people here, he will be led by a smart general.

In addition, this strong Zhouzhuang, even if thousands of officers and soldiers come, it will never be possible to conquer it in a short time, and Zhouzhuang is also the most important part of Li Zixiao's second anti-encirclement and suppression in his heart.

At this time, the successive victories made the morale of the White Dragon Army high, and the modification work in Zhouzhuang was in full swing, and at the same time, Li Zixiao also took advantage of this time to convene all his subordinates and hold post-war rewards.

In order to celebrate the victory of this battle, Li Zixiao was rare and generous, and ordered all the officers and men of the White Dragon Army to distribute five taels of silver for the soldiers, three taels of silver for the auxiliaries, and one tael of silver for the recruits.

Everyone has a share, and secondly, according to the list of meritorious contributions submitted by the captains of each team, he will give additional rewards to the soldiers who have made meritorious contributions in the battle of Zhouzhuang.

This is also one of Li Zixiao's ways to motivate his subordinates, he just wants to tell his subordinates that follow him Li Zixiao, as long as you are loyal and dare to work hard, you can not only eat and clothe yourself, but also have silver.

In the future, he can marry a daughter-in-law, have a baby, and even share the fertile land, all of which are the pies that Li Zixiao drew for everyone afterwards.

And it was this painted cake that deeply attracted all the soldiers of the White Dragon Army, and the slogan of 'Long live the big boss' that day resounded in the sky in Zhouzhuang.

Li Zixiao even ordered Dong Zhuang to select some of the pigs and sheep of the Zhou family to slaughter and treat his subordinates fiercely.

In general, Li Zixiao was rarely happy, and he was very generous, and the silver reward for his men after the war alone was as much as 5,000 taels.

But Li Zixiao didn't care at all, because these were nothing compared to the wealth they seized this time, and of course he had to take the opportunity to buy people's hearts.

Otherwise, it will seem that he is too mean, and now Li Zixiao has gradually begun to learn the way of the emperor, and he will use different control methods for different subordinates.

Like these ordinary White Dragon Army soldiers, he can use silver, women and fields to control and win over, just to let them see the future and follow him Li Zixiao's hope.

After all, it is understandable that everyone wants to be promoted to the rank of official and become a superior person.

Of course, for Zhou Dazhu, Wei Hong, and Quartz, these external things are not so important, even if Li Zixiao has become nothing now, he believes that these people will never abandon him.

These people all swore to be loyal to Li Zixiao forever, and they could die for Li Zixiao, these are all loyal and righteous people.

But it is precisely because of this that Li Zixiao can't let them down.

……………………………………………………………………

Five days later, Yin Tianxing, the prefect of Kaifeng, also received the news that Zhouzhuang had been captured by the White Dragon Army, and also received a joint letter for help from Wang Yong, the county commander of Yongcheng County, and several large squires in the county.

All of them hope that the government will send troops to exterminate Li Zixiao's evil bandits as soon as possible, and report to Yin Tianxing the things that Li Zixiao did in Yongcheng County.

Yin Tianxing, the prefect of Kaifeng, was shocked when he learned the news that Zhouzhuang was broken by bandits.

Yin Tianxing didn't know anything about the Zhou family in Yongcheng, the small landlords in small places who were exterminated by bandits.

At this time, I don't know how many incidents will happen every day in the territory of Daming, and he can manage it.

However, this time he attached importance to the intelligence that Zhouzhuang was captured by bandits, and there was only one reason, because it was Li Zixiao who captured Zhouzhuang.

For the name Li Zixiao, it can be said that Yin Tianxing was almost annoyed to death during this time, and at this time he dreamed of destroying Li Zixiao, a bandit.

Who let Li Zixiao hold in his hand, something enough to kill him!

However, the failure of the encirclement and suppression of the 500 officers and troops of the Suiyang Guard Station made him realize that this Li Zixiao was not an easy guy to deal with.

He suppressed the news of the defeat of the officers and soldiers of the Suiyang Guard, and did not let the court know, but privately he had already contacted Wu Laiyun, the commander of Fengyang.

After the spring ploughing, they will send troops to encircle and suppress Li Zixiao at the same time, and they must completely annihilate him and eliminate this big trouble.

After all, it takes time for Yin Tianxing to recruit young and strong people, and it takes time to organize the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers, and as spring approaches, the biggest task of their government is to arrange this year's spring ploughing.

You must know that in recent years, the drought in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty has been repeated, which has caused famine to spread all over the wilderness, which has led to the rise of thieves, so the imperial court attaches great importance to today's spring ploughing.

After all, at this time, in Shaanxi and Hubei, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, the imperial army of the chaotic army, needed a huge amount of food every day.

The imperial court is also counting on collecting enough taxes this year to support the encirclement and suppression of these rebellious armies!

Besides, at this time, there were no other officers and soldiers in Kaifeng Mansion except for the original hundreds of officers and soldiers of the guard.

And these officers and soldiers are responsible for guarding the important town of Kaifeng, and they cannot be used easily, so Yin Tianxing can only transfer troops from the nearest Xuanwuwei.

And because the imperial court has been in arrears for many years, the officers and soldiers of those guards will open their mouths every time they are promoted, and they will extort them fiercely, and if they do not give enough promotion fees, they will continue to delay.

After all, people are risking their lives to fight, and the court is powerless to take care of it when they die, and these soldiers must also think about their wives and children, and leave some silver for their wives and children.

As for the so-called court pension after these soldiers died in battle, then hehe, the court has not issued that thing for many years.

At the same time, this time is also a good opportunity for those officials in the guard to make a lot of money, and they will take the opportunity to ask the government for the salary of the past and the army of bandits.

In fact, in the end, even if the military salaries and promotion fees were paid, most of them went to the officials of the guards, and the money that was actually sent to the soldiers was nine out of ten.

It is precisely because of this series of quarrels between officials that the time for Yin Tianxing's plan to send troops to encircle and suppress Li Zixiao for the second time is set in April and May after the spring ploughing.

However, he didn't expect this Li Zixiao to be so unstoppable and make such a big disturbance in Yongcheng County.

Originally, Yin Tianxing responded to Li Zixiao leading his bandits and capturing a landlord's fort It didn't feel like anything, and it was not enough to disrupt his original plan.

However, when he saw the letter written to him by Wang Yong, the commander of Yongcheng County, and several other squires, he was not calm.

Because, in the letter, these people reported to Yin Tianxing about Li Zixiao's land policy in Yongcheng County, which surprised Yin Tianxing, and then changed color.

"This damn traitor is simply a big rebel, he dares to do this......" Yin Tianxing was so angry that he cursed after reading the letter.

can achieve the position of Kaifeng prefect, Yin Tianxing is also full of poetry and books, and he can definitely be regarded as full of nylon, and his vision is naturally not bad.

It was precisely because of this that he could see at a glance the lethality of Li Zixiao's land policy.

He had even imagined that wherever Li Zixiao led people, all the peasants and people welcomed him.

"No, Li Zixiao is really a scourge, he is too capable of tossing, we must not sit back and watch him continue to grow bigger, otherwise it will be easy to lose his tail.

But there must not be another Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, Daming can no longer withstand this big toss, and the schedule to encircle and suppress this thief must be advanced. ”

In the end, Yin Tianxing secretly made up his mind.
