Chapter 310 The backhand
In the eyes of the people on the top of the city and around, Lian Yong, who was about to be defeated at once, ran away as soon as he took the battle. The merchant's bird guns only fired for one round, saying that they were bullying people from a long-range firepower, but Lian Yong also pretended to be some archers. They did not shoot a single round of arrows, and they gave up the bow and arrow and ran together.
Due to long-term physical training, the Shang Group was still chasing after a few hundred steps at the beginning. After running half an inside and outside, the physical energy disappeared very quickly after the vigorous exercise. However, the Shang Group chased and couldn't let go. At this time, the Shang Group could not run. The Shang Group still had the strength to do it. The spearmen kept stabbing the spears in their hands. The Shang Group kept falling to the ground, and some people tried to resist. They were almost killed in the blink of an eye. More people couldn't run began to kneel down and surrender, but the Shang Group did not receive the order, and even those who asked for surrender were still shot to death.
The tragic killing made many people afraid to continue watching. Practicing the courage did not run far, and the entire battlefield did not unfold. It was only a narrow and long land less than five hundred steps wide and less than three miles long. People kept screaming and being killed. In people's eyes, there were almost blood dancing everywhere.
"Okay, start to complete the team and take prisoners!"
When Li Congye saw Guan Zhaofu being slashed with a knife, Yang Yong, who looked fierce, knelt down and asked to surrender. There were many people around him, and he had not been killed yet. There were about 100 surrendered Lian Yong... They could not run anymore. Less than ten Lian Yong ran to the edge of the mountain area to the west and began to climb the mountain to escape. In a place like Lingqiu, a few miles away was a mountain. There were too many mountains.
There is no need to worry about these people, and they are all courageless people, and they probably won't cause any trouble in the future.
The captured prisoners were so scared that they were almost all gray-faced, and everyone was trembling. The merchant group was beaten too fiercely just now and there was almost no survivor left. They were afraid that they would be killed on the spot.
Fortunately, Li Congye didn't have this intention. It was one thing to attack when fighting, and it was another thing to kill people in public. He clearly distinguished this point.
A long list of prisoners was taken back. At this time, no one among the people stood up and picked up half a piece of brick and smashed it over. Then there were shouts of beating and killing. People present picked up whatever they had on the ground, and beat them to cry for their parents.
A young man kept rushing up and kicking him. As long as the team was not too chaotic, these people could vent their hatred. During the period of time when Lian Yong was in Lingqiu, he was really too hatred.
There are many people on the top of the city who are rushing down, and they also want to hit people.
Chang Wei looked at Zhu Qingyu who was stunned at this time and smiled and said, "Mr. Magistrate, the people's hearts are like this, and the people's hearts are also available."
Zhu Qingyu was still hesitating just now, not knowing which bet to place. Now he already understood how to place bets.
Zhu Qingyu looked at Chang Wei and suddenly said, "I heard that Chang Wei is the cousin of Zhang Xunzhang and a bold person. After a while today, it will be extraordinary."
Chang Wei smiled but said nothing, and Zhu Qingyu didn't want to say much, so he hurriedly went down the city to deal with this mess.
Li Congye climbed to the top of the city at this time and found Chang Wei and said, "Is there a lot of murders, will there be a big trouble? Also, how to deal with the captured prisoners?"
"I have a clear idea of killing people, there will be no trouble. Han Qi is the one who has trouble." Chang Wei smiled and said, "As for the captives, these guys don't even care about them. They are all scoundrels who are bad. They can't be killed anymore. They can be taken to the iron field to do it.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Work, do a few months of hard work, let people go when they are honest, and ask people to see what the outcome will be if they can’t get along with us and Yusheng.”
Li Congye smiled bitterly. He felt that Chang Wei was very happy to do things, but it was also very dangerous. However, this was not something he could worry about. All he had to do was do the work below and not leave too much trouble as much as possible.
Chang Wei said: "You must be quick, I will leave Lingqiu soon."
"Where to go?" Li Congye asked subconsciously.
"Qingcheng." Chang Wei replied with a smile, and even clamped his eyes.
...
"Since Zunlu, you are back, then do me a favor." Ma Chengen looked at Li Shenming, who was exhausted and smiled and said, "But the emperor is not a shortage of hungry soldiers, you can have dinner first."
Li Shenming has less and less time to return to Datong now. Most of the share he originally occupied in the General Mansion was given to others, and the matters at hand were divided one by one, but Li Shenming's position in the General Mansion not only did not decline, but instead rose slightly.
The reason is very simple. A few years ago, Li Shenming helped Ma Chengen to catch the line on Zhang Han. The originally inconspicuous little businessman has become a number of commercial tycoons in Datong, even Shanxi and even the entire north in recent years. Moreover, Zhang Han's power is not only in the shopping mall, his connections in the officialdom are also very strong, and his military performance is obvious to all. The confrontation with Han Qi is also very exciting. At this time, Zhang Han should not be an ordinary businessman, even Fan Yongdou, who was the most prominent in Zhangjiakou, was far from enough.
Ma Chengen can now share about 20,000 yuan a year, which is equivalent to one-third of his total annual income. It is said that Ma Gui's servants had lost a lot, but in the past two years, Ma Chengen gradually made up for it. The number of servants controlled by the Ma family exceeded 1,000. For generals at the first-level general, although they were not as good as those in the past, they were very surprised.
The largest number of servants is the Zu family in western Liaoning, and even the Li family is far from that. The Zu family has been rooted in Ningyuan for a hundred years. It has been a senior military officer throughout the ages, occupying tens of thousands of acres of fertile land and operating it properly, especially the inheritance. Unlike the Li Chengliang family, who has no successors. When Li Rusong died, although the Li family was commanded by the General Deputy General Jinyiwei, it lacked a backbone who could fight the war. The Zu family was different. With Zu Dashou in western Liaoning, he was a powerful general who could not avoid it.
The Ma family was originally weaker in the northwest. After years of capital input... tens of thousands of silver in more than a year seemed inconspicuous, but how much military salary the imperial court gave Datong a year? Twenty or thirty thousand silver is equivalent to the annual net income of 20,000 mu of land here in Datong. If it was a wasteland year, it might be possible to have this number.
It is natural for Li Shenming to make this contribution to take into account Zhang Han's side. Of course, Ma Chengen would not have any ideas, and at least he relied more on Li Shenming on the surface.
"When I just entered the city, I passed by a snack shop. I couldn't help but smell the fragrance. I got out of the car and bought a few oil cakes to eat." Li Shenming smiled and said to Ma Chengen, "There is no need to eat. I just want to see what your plans are for you?"
"My plan?" Ma Chengen showed a cold look on his face. He said, "I can't sit still and wait for death, but I haven't figured out what to do yet."
Ma Chengen said again: "Now I plan to do two things. One is to send the Zheng Bingbat to suppress the bandits. I heard that the people in Lingqiu have retreated. This is very good. Han Qi has less contributing. In addition, I want to get sick and ignore the town affairs for the time being. I will put up a bunch of picks first.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Say. Next, I will ask the censor of the capital to come forward and impeach Han Qi first. This is just these for the time being."
This time when Li Shenming came, Ma Chengen sent someone to invite him. The news that Han Qi wanted to change the general town was heard. Ma Chengen didn't believe it at the first time. Later, he inquired from many sources and indeed Han Qi really had this intention. Only then did Ma Chengen believed Li Shenming's previous reminder, and of course he felt very frank in his words.
"Does the Lord want to retreat first and then hit Han Qi in a hurry..." Li Shenming pondered for a moment, but said in a very straightforward tone: "But the Lord wants to get back?"
"Um?"
"Although Han Qi has no deep roots in the court, he is a civil servant and the boss of the chief minister. This retreat is just right to give him a justification. He asked the court to send a new general, and the court would not jeopardize him. Although you did not impeach the governor directly, anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that if there is no clear matter, Han Qi, the governor, still has to take advantage. Once the chief retires, if he finds his successor immediately and submits the court will allow him, will the chief minister pile himself on the river beach?"
Ma Chengen's face changed color, he thought for a while, and said, "It's true. Zunlu, your mind is much better than those masters."
Li Shenming smiled and agreed, only saying that it was a lucky person.
The analysis of this matter was discussed and deduced by Zhang Han, him, Sun Jingting, Chang Wei and others. The people of Yusheng may not be better than Ma Chengen and the people around him in politics, but the advantage is that they are well-informed and have a better understanding of the overall situation of the Ming Dynasty.
Now the court is troubled by the Eastern Affairs Bureau, and has just changed the chief minister. I especially hope that the place will be quiet and not be troubled.
At this time, although Ma Chengen was forced to do so, he did start the fight with the governor, the civil servant boss, and the sympathy scores he received were limited. In order to stabilize, the court would definitely choose the fast knife to cut the mess to solve this problem.
"Zunlu," Ma Chengen smiled in his eyes, stroked his thick beard and said with a smile: "You are here to buy Xinpingbao. I heard that Zhang Wenlan has been dealing with his two marriages recently, but he can't ignore the current affairs. Tell me, what does he say!"
"Okay, then I'll just say it." Li Shenming knew that his relationship with Zhang Han was very obvious and was inseparable. It was meaningless to pretend to be a ghost here in Ma Chengen. He said straightforwardly: "Master, who will Han Qi look for to be this substitute?"
"There will be no one except Du Wenhuan!"
"Yes, we think it's him!"
When replacing generals in important towns in nine borders, the court would only consider the candidates for the town, and it would never be possible to appoint a novice with a weak foundation. In later novels, there are often scenes where generals make great achievements and become generals all at once. At least in the late Ming Dynasty, there was almost no such possibility.
From the middle and late Wanli period to Chongzhen, there may be more than 100 generals in the Jiubian important towns, but most of the ones who serve as the chief generals of the Jiubian are old generals, and most of them are candidates from the family of several generals!
Datong Town was first Ma and then Ma, and Liaodong was first Li and later Zu. Among them, there were also He, You, Du, Zhang and other major generals and families successively served as generals of Liao Town and Ji, Xuan, and Da. For example, Zuo Liangyu, from small soldiers to generals, was just a special case in the middle and late Chongzhen period.
