Chapter 095: The Locust Army Is Coming

Qin Mu was shouting at the two warring sides to stop, not wanting Yang Tinglin to suddenly straighten his chest and hit the tip of his knife in the opposite direction, he hurriedly drew the knife, but it was already too late, and the tip of the knife had already sunk into Yang Tinglin's chest by more than an inch.

"Daddy!" Yang Zhi screamed miserably, rushed up to support the crumbling Yang Tinglin, looked at the blood on his father's chest, and his clothes were red, Yang Zhi let out another sad cry, and the whole person suddenly fainted.

Qin Mu threw away the big knife, quickly stepped forward and hugged one in one hand, and put the father and daughter flat on the ground. While pressing the wound on Yang Tinglin's chest with his hand, he yelled: "Stop, stop, stop fighting, save people, Liu Meng, hurry up and get Jinchuang medicine, go and invite Langzhong, hurry"

Qin Mu's forehead was injured, and his face was covered with blood, looking extremely hideous, and the two warring sides saw that this family was injured and dizzy, and they didn't want to fight hard.

Especially those defenders in Ganzhou, Yang Tinglin was seriously injured, and Huang Danian, who led the army, was in a different place, they had no leader, and they had been beaten to pieces, where did they still have the heart to fight.

Liu Meng handed over the scene to Li Shi to watch, and ran to Qin Mu's side to help save people, Qin Mu had already torn Yang Tinglin's shirt at this time, and a wound more than an inch long could be seen on his chest, and he didn't know if it hurt his lungs, and the blood was constantly gushing out.

Liu Meng found a packet of Jinchuang medicine, poured half of it into the wound at a time, and was immediately washed away by the blood that came out.

"Quick, give me the medicine, give it to me." Qin Mu was in a hurry, snatched the remaining half of the gold creation medicine from Liu Meng's hand, poured it on his palm, and then pressed Yang Tinglin's wound with his palm, and the blood flow was finally roughly blocked.

Yang Tinglin's face was pale, but he was not completely unconscious, he said with difficulty: "The old man asks for benevolence, you don't need to save him, you just need to promise the old man one thing, treat the soldiers and civilians of Ganzhou well, treat Zhi'er well, and the old man will be blind." ”

"Father-in-law, if you die, Zhi'er will definitely not survive, for Zhi'er, you must get better." Although Qin Mu was anxious, he could only persuade him with good words.

As he said, if Yang Tinglin dies under his own knife, with Yang Zhi's character, he will definitely have no shame to live again.

What's more, Qin Mu still had to bear the notoriety of killing his father-in-law and killing Shangguan, and he could no longer be tolerated in the Ming court, and the only choice was to hurriedly pull the flag and rebel.

In this era of paying attention to the respect and inferiority of the elders, the elders just beat you to death, and you have nothing to say, but if you kill the elders, you are challenging the ethical order of the entire society;

Therefore, if Yang Tinglin really dies under the knife of his son-in-law, his reputation will only be worse than that of Zhang Xianzhong and others, even if he pulls the flag and rebels, anyone who is a little decent will disdain and defect.

Therefore, whether it is public or private, Yang Tinglin cannot be allowed to die, and he must be saved with all his might.

Seeing that Yang Tinglin was unconscious, Qin Mu hurriedly said: "Liu Meng, send someone to invite Langzhong, you want to invite the most haode Langzhong, please a few more, be fast." ”

"My lord, I have already sent Wang Zhi to invite you."

"Send someone more, go quickly."

"Yes, sir."

"Immediately let everyone lay down their arms, seal off the compound, no one is allowed to enter or leave without my orders, be quick."

****

Huguang.

Zhang Xianzhong only left Ai Nengqi to lead 10,000 horses to stay in Wuchang, and he personally led 200,000 people to ride on land and water, waving his army south to Huguang, the army stretched for dozens of miles, the flag covered the sun, the yellow dust filled the sky, such as surging waves, along the way the state and county looked at the wind and fell, the defenders fled, the rebels fled, and none dared to resist.

Even a heavy city like Yuezhou couldn't hold out for two days before the city was broken.

Zuo Liangyu, who advanced westward under the strict orders of the imperial court, was stranded in Xishui, Dazhi, and Yangxin in the east of Wuchang because he was afraid of Li Zicheng in Xiangyang, and did not dare to attack Wuchang in the west.

Looking at the whole Huguang, except for Changsha, there are no soldiers to fight at all, Zhang Xianzhong's 200,000 people are like locusts in the sky, and the black pressure swept south.

After conquering Yuezhou, Zhang Xianzhong ordered Sun Kewang to lead 60,000 men and horses across Dongting Lake and quickly capture Xiangyin, Baoqing (now Shaoyang City) and other prefectures and counties.

And Zhang Xianzhong himself led the army to Changsha, Changsha was divided into the king of Fan, Zhang Xianzhong tasted the sweetness in Wuchang, when he broke through Wuchang, he got millions of gold and silver from the palace of Chu alone, carrying hundreds of cars endlessly, and countless other grain and grass materials;

In short, a few months ago, there were only 2,000 men and horses, and Zhang Xianzhong, who was mixing porridge and drinking in the Danshui area, after capturing Wuchang, just called helping the hungry, actually spent more than 6 million taels of silver for recruitment, and most of these silver were contributed by the Chu Palace, if it were not so, Zhang Xianzhong would not have been able to pull up 200,000 people in a short period of time.

How many palaces are there in the Ming Dynasty, except for the household officials, I'm afraid many people can't count them, these palaces are like mushrooms on the rotten ground, breeding and growing one by one in the north and south of the Yellow River, but it is by no means just a poisonous mushroom can be compared, after all, if you don't touch it, the mushroom will be harmless;

And the terrible thing about these palaces is that they will turn into fat and ugly giant roundworms, wriggling, roaring, and recklessly devouring the flesh and blood of the common people. As a result, the Ming Empire became yellow-skinned, thin and weak, and was covered with pus, blood, and ulcers.

From a set of data in the 31st year of Jiajing, you can know how terrible these palaces are, the tax and grain revenue of the Ming Dynasty that year was 22.85 million stones, and the annual expenditure of the palaces reached 8.53 million stones, accounting for 37%. And this is only the most basic years, and it is difficult to count how much each royal palace has plundered and squeezed from the people.

Zhang Xianzhong had already inquired clearly, and the Jiwang Mansion in Changsha was built according to the Forbidden City. In addition to digging the pond and the mountain according to the imperial garden, there are also the mountains and rivers Sheji Temple, there are 800 houses in the temple alone, which occupies half of the territory of Changsha City, and is many times more luxurious than the Chu Wangfu in Wuchang.

Zhang Xianzhong is full of expectations for Jiwangfu, and the prefectures and counties along the way are divided into troops to plunder, and he flies non-stop to Changsha, and the speed is jaw-dropping.

The rebels were overwhelming, Yin Xianmin, the general of Huguang, and He Yide, the general of Changsha, were so frightened that Zhang Xianzhong had just arrived at the city of Changsha, and they didn't even breathe, and the two of them surrendered to the city.

Zhang Xianzhong was still a little incredulous, the walls of Changsha are high and the city is thick, if he really wants to resist, with his newly pulled up men and horses, although there are many people, I am afraid that he may not be able to attack it, and even if he can attack it, it will definitely take a lot of effort.

And now, the city gate of Changsha is so open, in order to prevent fraud, Zhang Xianzhong asked Yin Xianmin and He Yide to lead the troops out of the city to disarm, and only after putting away their weapons did they dare to send people into the city.

In this way, Zhang Xianzhong took Changsha such a majestic city without much effort, and after taking Changsha, countless gold and silver treasures of Jiwangfu fell into Zhang Xianzhong's hands;

Fortunately, this time he planned to take the place he had laid down as his own territory, except for those gentry and wealthy households, and did not exterminate the common people;

But his soldiers and horses have been looting, even if Zhang Xianzhong ordered to prohibit disorderly looting and killing, but the rebels under his nose may be able to restrain a little, and other rebels sent to attack and plunder the counties of various states can not be forbidden, looting and killing are extremely brutal, the people who died do not know how many, the whole lake is crying everywhere, and the blood and tears are like rivers

In a short period of time, Huguang was swept by Zhang Xianzhong's 200,000 rebels, and almost did not encounter decent resistance, and the ambitious Zhang Xianzhong decided to make persistent efforts and first posted a notice in Changsha to exempt money and grain for three years in order to stabilize the people's hearts.

Then he sent troops to seize Hengzhou (now Hengyang City), and then divided his troops into several routes, marching towards Yongzhou, Chenzhou, Quanzhou (now Guangxi), and Lianzhou (now Guangdong) to pursue and annihilate the remnants of the Ming army.

At the same time, Zhang Qi was the vanguard of the dispatch department, and he personally led the main force to advance into Jiangxi, which can be described as non-stop, and there is a great tendency to seize half of the south of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop.

Since Zhang Xianzhong did not encounter any decent resistance in Huguang, the progress was very rapid, and when the news reached Ganzhou, Zhang Qi's forward army was already approaching Pingxiang, Jiangxi.

At this time, Yang Tinglin had been in a coma for two days, and Qin Mu was still doing his best to treat him
