179 from Kaifeng's killing machine

If a powerful chaotic army is born in Henan at this time, it can be called a disaster for the officials in Henan.

In the past two years, all parts of Henan have been ruined due to natural disasters.

There are many displaced people everywhere who have no way to make a living, and the government is simply unable to soothe them, so that there are so many displaced people that it is difficult for the government to contain the momentum.

Last year, a large group of rebels led by Gao Yingxiang who fled from Shaanxi to western Henan have already turned the entire western part of Henan into smoke and wailing everywhere.

At present, Gao Yingxiang, the leader of the rebellious army, was finally ambushed and killed by Sun Chuanting, and at the same time, the encirclement and suppression of Li Zicheng and other righteous troops by the official army also had great results.

Now in the mountains of Shaanxi and Hubei, where these rebel armies have been besieged, these large bandits finally have the possibility of being wiped out on the first line.

It is absolutely not possible to press the gourd to float at this time.

In Yongcheng County, which is close to Kaifeng Mansion and Fengyang Mansion, there is such a large group of bandits, which in itself is a dereliction of duty.

If this so-called White Dragon Bandit continues to develop, it will become a big problem sooner or later.

Yin Tianxing couldn't sit still anymore, and then his master also introduced him to the background of the Zhou family, and when Yin Tianxing knew that the eldest son of the Zhou family was actually an official in the capital, he strengthened his thoughts.

As a magistrate, although Yin Tianxing's rank is not low, after all, the son of the Zhou family is a Beijing official.

Once he learned that his Zhou family was broken by bandits, it would be too unfavorable for him if he stabbed this matter to the court.

Therefore, he must solve this matter as soon as possible, and it can be regarded as a remedial move, so as not to end up with a person who is held accountable and dismissed.

But Yin Tianxing also has his own difficulties, now the officials and troops are all in Shaanxi to suppress bandits, he has very limited troops at hand, and those officers and soldiers in Kaifeng in his hands dare not use them privately.

He could only rely on the officers and soldiers of Xuan Wuwei, plus some of the township warriors he had raised, which was not enough to exterminate Li Zixiao's evil bandits.

This time, Yin Tianxing has to absorb the lessons of the failure of the officers and soldiers of the Shangsui Yang Guard, and the lion must also fight with all his strength, he wants to ensure that this time he completely annihilates the White Dragon Army and kills Li Zixiao.

For this reason, Yin Tianxing did not hesitate to collude with his henchman Fengyang to command his fellow knowledge Wu Laiyun, and borrowed a group of officers and soldiers from Fengyang Mansion to participate in the second encirclement and suppression of Li Zixiao.

However, even if Yin Tianxing was really anxious, he still couldn't change the trouble of not being able to send troops in a short period of time, after all, Fengyang's side was not something he could do casually.

Yin Tianxing could only use his connections in the court to ask the eldest son of the Zhou family not to talk casually.

Fortunately, the Zhou family's son is just a minor official in the capital, Yin Tianxing's energy is still not small, and after bribing some high-ranking officials in the imperial court, he can be regarded as blocking the mouth of the Zhou family's son.

………………………………………………………………

Kaifeng Mansion has begun to be in full swing, Zhang Luo's second encirclement and suppression of the White Dragon Army, these Li Zixiao don't know for the time being, but he can guess it.

And Li Zixiao has also begun to prepare for the second encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers.

The harvest of the White Dragon Army's capture of Zhouzhuang this time was too rich.

With the capacity of the White Dragon Army, it took three days to transport a huge part of the silver and two-thirds of the grain in Zhouzhuang to the mountain.

Some of them were stored in the cottage to maintain their daily needs, and the other part was secretly hidden by them in a hidden grain storage point in the mountains.

At this time, Li Zixiao left Liu Chong's team of soldiers, plus five hundred recruits, and let him be responsible for staying in Zhouzhuang, and then he returned to White Snake Village with the rest of his subordinates.

During this period, Li Zixiao also received a response from the Sixteen Road bandits, and after listening to their respective henchmen go back to report to them, they all wisely chose not to go against the White Dragon Army.

Among them, five poles were unwilling to be restrained by Li Zixiao, and after listening to Li Zixiao's warning, they would leave the territory of Yongcheng County in a few days.

And those who make such a choice are those large strands with a large number of people, after all, these people are free and comfortable, and they are used to being kings and hegemons, of course, they don't need to listen to orders.

The bosses of the remaining eleven small poles all rushed to Zhouzhuang to meet Li Zixiao in the following time to express their goodwill.

And Li Zixiao also fulfilled his promise, and did not want to accept them, but gave them a batch of food and weapons.

This also made these little poles breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts, and they expressed their willingness to take the lead for Li Zixiao, which made Li Zixiao very satisfied.

To be honest, Li Zixiao didn't take a fancy to the people in the hands of these small poles, he just needed these poles to cooperate with some of his actions.

After having a large amount of money and grain in hand, Li Zixiao, who returned to the cottage, asked Qian Guangyuan to take the initiative to distribute some grain to those displaced people outside the mountain pass.

The White Dragon Army became even more famous, and countless homeless people who received food praised the White Dragon Army.

When part of the White Dragon Army returned to the cottage, countless homeless people knelt on both sides of the road and kowtowed in thanks.

This made the officers and men of the White Dragon Army very proud and proud, and they were very majestic with their heads held high, and their spirit was even more sufficient.

Qian Guangyuan also admired Li Zixiao's generous behavior of distributing food to those displaced people.

In such troubled times, many poles are reluctant to give to these displaced people once they have obtained food and wealth.

However, Li Zixiao waved thousands of stones of grain and was scattered by him, which is undoubtedly a bit of a loser's style in the eyes of some people.

However, Li Zixiao has his own plans, because he needs to use this to attract more displaced people, and he needs a population.

Next, he even thought about relocating these displaced people, after all, the land around Zhouzhuang needs to be cultivated, and there is still more land in Yongcheng County that needs to be cultivated.

At the same time, he also wanted to continue to recruit new soldiers from the displaced people and expand his power, so he needed to use this method to attract the displaced people from the surrounding county governments to them.

This time, the White Dragon Army also took advantage of the situation among the displaced people and once again recruited a group of recruits, and the quality of the recruits was quite good.

Li Zixiao insisted on taking the route of elite soldiers, did not want the old and weak, and limited the number of conscripts to only 500 people, so the 500 new recruits recruited this time are still strong men.

Moreover, the vast majority of them were honest peasants, and there were also a small number of deserters among them, which greatly supplemented their losses in this battle.

By the way, Li Zixiao also sheltered dozens of various craftsmen among the new influx of displaced people, and among these craftsmen were blacksmiths, carpenters, leathersmiths and other craftsmen, which were exactly what he was currently short of.

After taking inventory, this time they seized a large amount of money, grain, jewelry, pigs and sheep and other items from Zhouzhuang, and also seized dozens of pairs of various armors, and hundreds of knives, guns, boring palladium, hook guns, knives and sticks, and axes.

With so many new recruits recruited by the White Dragon Army, they reappeared in a shortage of weapons, and these captured weapons and equipment greatly improved the current situation of the White Dragon Army's lack of weapons.

Of course, the biggest gain is not only these things, after they captured Zhouzhuang, they also captured three tiger squat cannons at the same time.

What's even more ridiculous is that the White Dragon Army is still in Zhouzhuang, and has captured two old ones, which are the kind of bowls cast during the Hongwu period.

I don't know where the Zhou family got this kind of old-fashioned thing, and the simple one can really be sent to the museum for exhibition.

But it is undeniable that this thing is still very useful for Shouyu.

For the White Dragon Army, which lacked artillery, although this old antique was worn, it was barely usable, and they were included in their pockets.

In addition to artillery, they also captured more than 50 hard bows, countless arrows, plus eight carrying guns, 32 bird guns, 21 old-fashioned fire guns, 25 three-eye guns, and hundreds of pounds of gunpowder.

These things are considered to be = materials that Li Zixiao urgently lacks, which greatly enriches the strength of the White Dragon Army.

It can also be seen how much money the Zhou family secretly spent to get so many good things in order to save their lives, and now they are all cheaply given to Li Zixiao.

As for other materials, there are many things that Li Zixiao urgently needs.

In the treasury of the Zhou family, they also copied out more than 3,000 catties of pig iron and wrought iron, and also copied out a large number of various bronze and iron tools from the homes of the Zhou family.

Naturally, Li Zixiao would not throw away these things, so they were loaded into the car and transported back to the White Snake Village, where they were handed over to the blacksmith shop in the cottage to be used to create more weapons.

In addition, Wei Hong also sent news from Guide Mansion that they had already sold most of the Zhou family's properties in Guide Mansion in just two days.

Subsequently, Wei Hong directly took the money from the sale, pretended to be a businessman, and led people to Kaifeng Mansion.

After Li Zixiao received his news, he summoned Zhang Ergouzi, exempted him from punishment, reinstated the official, and then sent him to Kaifeng to assist Wei Hong.

This can be regarded as a chess piece that Li Zixiao buried in Kaifeng in advance, and set up his own eyes to facilitate him to obtain the situation of Kaifeng Mansion in time.

In addition, Li Zixiao knew that the government would not send officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress him in a short period of time.

simply asked Zhou Zhu to take the first team and the second team of soldiers left by Wei Hong, take Han Tong's scout team, go out for a walk, and by the way, bring the eleventh little poles.

……………………………………………………………………

"Team Zhou, our captain asked me to inform you that Han Laocai from Hanjiazhuang wanted to escape, and the big cars left Hanjiazhuang half an hour ago and went in the direction of Guide Mansion.

Our captain has already led someone to entangle them first, you can catch up with them now, and you will be able to catch up almost soon, but you can't let this old thing surnamed Han escape with a cart of silver. ”

A White Dragon Army scout on horseback galloped to Zhou Dazhu, who was resting in a wood, and dismounted to greet him.

"Oh? I really let you catch a big fish, haha, no problem, you go back and tell Han Tong, entangle them to death, and I will take someone to leave the path to catch up. ”

After listening to the scout's report, Zhou Dazhu also showed an excited smile on his face, and said with a laugh.

"Hehe, I was still thinking about how to clean it up, you 'fat pigs', I didn't expect that now you are slaughtered by yourself, and it saves Lao Tzu the trouble to catch it.

It just so happens that now it's time to use you. ”

Zhou Dazhu immediately looked at the woods, the small poles who were resting, and said with a slight chuckle, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry up, hurry up, rush to Guide Mansion as soon as possible, I have a lot of rewards, master."

Han Laocai peeked out of a carriage and shouted at the convoy driving on the official road.

That's right, Han Laocai is one of the other big landlords in Yongcheng County who was scared away, but this guy is grinding and trying to transport as much of his family wealth as possible.

Coupled with the family, the slaves packed their luggage, and it took them four days to leave Hanjiabao and go to Guide Mansion.

However, unfortunately, at this time, Li Zixiao happened to send Zhou Dazhu with two teams of soldiers and other eleven small poles, and was preparing to attack these landlords.

No, Zhou Dazhu, who smelled fishy, led people to hurry up.

"Kill!"

"Dad, it's not good, we're being targeted by the pole." A middle-aged man hurriedly ran to Han Laocai's carriage and said in a panic.

Han Laocai's head poked out of the carriage, and he saw a group of cavalry in the distance holding a bright swords, and a white dragon flag waving in the wind, and he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"It's the White Dragon Bandit, what can I do about this?" Han Laocai was also frightened and at a loss, and asked his son.

"Dad, I'll let Copperhead take a guard to escort you and our family away, and the child will stay behind to resist this group of bandits." The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said.

"Okay, Wu'er, you should be more careful." After listening to his son's words, Han Laocai also knew that this was the best way.

"Quick, copperhead, you take someone to escort the master and me and the young master to leave first, old turtle, sunspot, you take someone to stay with me."

Han Yizhong shouted to the Han family's guards and family members.

Soon, a team of Han family members on horseback escorted several carriages to run first, leaving a convoy of more than 20 carts to stay on the official road.

In fact, this was the first to appear, it was just a scout team led by Han Tong,

His purpose was just to entangle this convoy and buy time for Zhou Dazhu to bring people to come later, but he didn't expect that as soon as they appeared, they directly scared Han Laocai away, and they didn't even want the treasure of this car.

It was really the news that Li Zixiao killed all the people of the Zhou family in Zhouzhuang, which frightened all those landlords and old wealth, and they didn't want to end up like that.

Therefore, at this time, Han Yizhong asked a team of family members to escort Han Laocai and his family members away, and he led people to stay behind.

As for the treasures of this car, in Han Yizhong's opinion, it was redundant and impossible to take away.

"I knew why I spent so much effort to pretend these things, and I wasted so much time in vain, and I didn't make a wedding dress for these bandits in vain."

Han Yizhong laughed at himself in his heart, but who let him persuade his father before not to listen.
