I'm really not the carpenter emperor

"Who is it?"

"Uncle, it's me, it's me, Li Hongji!" Li Hongji stopped at the foot of the city, "This is Li Guo, you should know him too!"

Gao Yingxiang was taken aback, and confirmed that this was his eldest nephew in Mizhi's hometown.

But his face was still not very good-looking, and he sneered: "Nephew, I heard that you went to join the army, but I didn't expect that you are now a guerrilla general of the Datong Army!"

Li Guo shouted: "Brother Gao, what can't you think about it? Why did you rebel? Now that Emperor Shengming is sitting in court, the drought in Shanxi has eased!"

"Can't afford to wait!" Gao Yingxiang sneered, "The imperial court cares about one thing and loses another. You serve as a general in the army, eat well and drink well, and your name is still on the merit list."

"Do you know what kind of situation we have reached here?"

"In every household, the children eat each other, even the bark has been eaten clean, but what about the court, there are many corrupt officials, what did the court do?"

Li Hongji sighed, but he completely changed from his original thinking, he shouted angrily: "So you gathered a crowd to rebel?"

"Nowadays there are two captives, east and west, and powerful enemies around. Do you know how difficult it is for the imperial court to maintain the current peace?"

"No matter how bad it is, you can come to Datong to find me, why rebel!"

Gao Yingxiang shook his head again and again, "Hehe, it's too late, everything is already too late, this road has already been stepped on, I am doomed, but don't think about it!"

Li Guo hurriedly said: "No, no, no! My commander-in-chief agreed, if you surrender, big brother, the servants don't have to kill, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the refugees behind you!"

Afterwards, Li Guo turned around and said:

"Look who is here, it's the Datong Army! It's a strong army with 3 people who defeated [-] cavalry! You have no hope of winning! This is a rebellion. Once the city is broken, nearly [-] people will fight with you Funeral!"

"Brother, you are not such a selfish person!"

Gao Yingxiang naturally heard about Zhang Wanbang guarding Datong for more than ten years and defeating Lin Danhan's [-] Mongolian cavalry with [-] Datong troops.

He also understood in his heart that the officers and soldiers didn't need to attack the city at all, and surrounded the city with suppressing heavy artillery, roaring day and night, and they could make people like himself terrified.

After hesitating for a long time, he said dejectedly, "Can you really let go of these refugees who followed me?"

Chapter 956

The rogues at the top of the city began to drop their weapons in groups.

Then, the city gate was also opened.

After Gao Yingxiang tied his hands and came out to kneel outside the city gate, Zhang Wanbang snorted coldly and waved his hands to give orders.

Soon, the Datong army filed in from the four gates and entered the city in mighty force.

The red and black armor covered every corner of Sanshui County, and the flag of Ming Dynasty was flying in the sky again four days later.

Zhang Wanbang was wearing a mountain-style chain mail, condescendingly looked down at Gao Yingxiang who still seemed a little unconvinced, narrowed his eyes and said:

"Do you have any last words?"

Gao Yingxiang sneered: "I don't regret the rebellion, just because I don't want to hurt the poor people who followed me.

Otherwise, you and I really don't know who will win. "

Zhang Wanbang has reached his current position of success and fame, so he is naturally not interested in the words of a peasant rebel leader who refuses to admit defeat.

There was no emotion on his face, not even a slight change in his voice, and he said lightly: "Take it to the top of the city, and chop it off in front of everyone."

"Ha ha ha ha--!"

Gao Yingxiang couldn't stop laughing, but Gu Junen didn't dare to utter a word. He closed his eyes and let out a few long sighs when he saw him being escorted to the top of the city by the generals and beheaded with a knife.

"The head of the thief is dead, and the rest who threw down their swords will be exempt from death!" Soon, a cavalryman held Gao Yingxiang's bloody head in his hand and ran wildly in the streets of Sanshui County.

"The thief leader is dead!"

"The rebellion is set!"

"The imperial government's disaster relief money will be delivered in a few days!"

"Long live the emperor, all victory for the Ming Dynasty!"

With a loud shout, the people hiding in the house opened the windows one after another, looking out cautiously, and many people also started to go to the street and talk to each other.

This rebellion came suddenly and was quickly quelled.

Zhang Wanbang led people to set up a high platform in the central square of the city, and asked everyone to watch, while he stood on the high platform and announced:

"I, Zhang Wanbang, keep my word. Those who put down their weapons and surrender will be spared death!"

"But after all, it is the heinous crime of rebellion. You can be pardoned for the death penalty, but the living crime is hard to forgive! The current imperial court has regained the Nuer Gandusi, and the population is urgently needed!"

"You packed up your things and moved to Nuer Gandusi!"

With the sound of landing, many people began to be dissatisfied.

Where is Nuer Gandusi?It was a place of bitter cold farther than Liaodong, not to mention that there were still men from the Far East who could pose a threat at any time.

The imperial court has just recovered the slaves and worked for more than a year, and the situation is not particularly stable. If they go there, no one knows how long they will live.

However, Zhang Wanbang is not a fool.

These thousands of rogues have already rebelled, and if they rebel again, the hurdle in their hearts will be easier than normal people.

Let the tiger go back to the mountain, this is a disaster, who knows if they will suddenly stab you in the back?

The damage caused was small, and the most important thing was to make the officers and soldiers exhausted. No one would keep running back and forth to clean up these messes.

Immediately, he looked around the field and said coldly: "Why, do you still dare to object?"

"Let me tell you, if Gao Yingxiang hadn't pledged his life, all of you, including your three clans, would have been charged with rebellion and executed!"

"Nurgan Dusi is also the territory of Ming Dynasty, which is already a great gift, why don't you thank the Son of Heaven for your benevolent kindness!?"

Zhang Wanbang's Datong army is full of murderous aura, watching the surroundings.

When the words fell to the ground, the rogues around who still had complaints were all trembling with fright, and no one dared to say anything more.

The next thing was much simpler. The Datong Army had already controlled the situation, heard the news of the hometowns of thousands of rogues who had surrendered one by one, called their families, and sent them all to Nuer Gandusi.

……

Shaanxi is the hardest-hit area of ​​famine, and the situation is also the most corrupt among the five provinces in the Central Plains.

Ansai Gao Yingxiang's family was not the only ones who rebelled. Within a few days after Gao Yingxiang captured Baishui, more than a dozen families rebelled in various places in Shaanxi.

Among them, the most powerful one is Fugu Wang Jiayin.

As early as the seventh year of Tianqi when Wang Er rebelled, Wang Jiayin was actively preparing in Fugu County. When he heard that Gao Yingxiang took the lead in "raising the flag of rebellion" in Ansai, he responded impatiently.

Wang Jiayin's team developed the fastest because of its early preparations.

He has long been familiar with the civil and military generals of the Ming army in Fugu County and several surrounding counties. He knows where the military equipment is exhausted, and he also knows the local generals who lead the troops, who can fight, and who is a bear.

Within a few days, Wang Jiayin's "rebel army" not only captured Fugu County, but also defeated more than [-] official troops led by Zheng Wei, Hequ Qianzong, outside Hequ County.

Different from other bandits, Wang Jiayin's bandit was the first to defeat the regular official army that came to clean up in the wild.

The more than [-] Hequ Tun Garrison Army led by Zheng Wei completed the upgrading of equipment and ordnance in the seventh year of the apocalypse. It was equipped with a small number of new-style blunderbusses and suppressing captives. It is a local force in the true sense. .

However, such a regular army of 4000 was defeated by more than [-] mobs led by Wang Jiayin outside Hequ City.

When the news came out, it caused a great shock to the official circles in Shaanxi, and the confidence of the other bandits was greatly boosted, because the seemingly powerful official army did not seem to be invincible.

After the defeat, Zheng Wei fled back to Hequ City in embarrassment, shivering all day long, and never dared to say anything about going out to suppress bandits again.

However, Wang Jiayin became famous because of this, and his tribe quickly grew to more than [-] people, and refugees from all over the country went to join him.

After He Renlong was transferred from Shaanxi, the first thing he dealt with was this group of rogues.

"What are you?" He Renlong kicked Zheng Wei, who was kneeling at his feet, "The mighty four thousand officers and soldiers were defeated by a mob!"

"Are all the guns in your hands given to you to eat shit?"

Zheng Wei climbed up in embarrassment, and quickly said: "It's really not that the lowly position is ineffective in fighting. The general should know that Wang Jiayin seems to know some tactics, and he is definitely not an ordinary rogue!"

"Put your grandma's shit on!" He Renlong sneered again and again, "You were scared of being beaten by the bandits. I brought [-] soldiers from Taiyuan this time, so I'll let you see how we wiped out these three Thousands of bandits."

As soon as the words fell, a personal soldier hurried over.

"Good news!"

"General Qi, Marshal Zhang took back Sanshui County without bloodshed, and the head of the bandit leader Gao Yingxiang has been sent to the capital."

"Governor Wang Zhichen is also defeating the thief leader nicknamed Zijinliang in Qinshui for his own use, and several government troops are encircling Hequ!"

After hearing these good news, He Renlong couldn't be happy.

In other parts, good news spread frequently, and Zhang Wanbang moved faster. On the first day he arrived at Hequ, all the good news spread.

As for his Hequ side, this idiot Zheng Wei actually lost!

He immediately got up and shouted angrily: "Pass on the general's order, gather troops and horses, and work hard to defeat these rogues before dark!"

After all, the Taiyuan army was not an ordinary local government army. It was an army that followed He Renlong out to destroy the Jurchen.

When all the generals heard the words, they all went out excitedly to prepare, no one really took Wang Jiayin seriously.

Chapter 957

The night was getting dark and everything was still.

He Renlong was riding on a tall horse with sunken eyes, because he was dealing with bandits, he didn't even send out the sentry riders.

In his opinion, this group of rogues who don't even have weapons, guns and armour, just need to work hard and kill them, and they can get meritorious service.

Zheng Wei's defeat had long been classified by He Renlong as his own incompetence.

While the officers and soldiers were marching, there was a sudden sound of cannons behind the slopes on both sides, and then countless rogues in rags rushed out from four directions.

All these rogues were so hungry that their eyes glowed, only a few were armed with standard knives and guns seized from the officers and soldiers, and most of the rest were as He Renlong had expected.

The weapons in hand are nothing but pitchforks, dung forks, sticks...

Even though he was caught off guard, He Renlong still didn't panic. He looked at the guerrilla general beside him and smiled coldly:

"Earlier Zheng Wei said that these bandits were different, but I didn't take it seriously. Now it seems that this Wang Jiayin has some guts."

"It's just that rogues are just rogues after all, and they can't get on the stage."

Although He Renlong didn't send sentry to investigate in advance, it was only because he didn't think it was necessary. As an officer who rose to the top with his military exploits all the way from the Baizong, he still stayed behind.

With a groan, he pulled out his wild goose-wing knife and shouted, "Give me an order, and the cavalry from the rear will outflank them. I will wipe out all the rogues in this Qinshui land!"

With an order, the soldiers turned their horses, broke through the obstacles set by the bandits, and went to the rear.

Wang Jiayin got the report soon, his face was full of anxiety.

He also didn't expect that this team of officers and soldiers was so different from the one brought by Zheng Wei before.

Although He Renlong was commanding soldiers of the guards, they followed him to aid in the suppression from the north and the south. Zheng Wei's subordinates were only stationed in places and did not engage in battle.

After the initial panic, He Bu quickly adjusted and began to kill the encircled bandits to retreat steadily, without losing much morale due to the ambushes.

On the other hand, the rogues were at the end of their strength. After suffering casualties from the officers and soldiers, some people soon felt that they could not win the battle and were defeated.

In particular, He Renlong and the personal army battalion led by him, among the many rogues, rushed from left to right, as if entering a land without people.

They were all clad in iron armor, and the weapons in the hands of these rogue bandits were hard to hurt at all.

Wang Jiayin patted his thigh bitterly, and had no choice but to order to retreat.

But the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and within a few quarters of an hour, He Renlong's cavalry left behind had already outflanked and killed them.

Although these cavalry are not as elite as the frontier army, they are also not as powerful as these rogues.

After a rush, the bandits behind Wang Jiayin scattered and fled in all directions. The casualties of the officers and soldiers were only a few at the beginning, and after the battle, they were minimal.

The casualties of the rogues were everywhere, and as the sun set, the battle ended quickly.

"General Qi, the corpse of the leader of the bandits, Wang Jiayin, was not found in the rebellion, but the corpse of the king himself was found!"

He Renlong had never heard of the name of Wang Jiayin's capable general, Wang Ziyong, and he didn't regard this person as a dish at all.

Hearing this, he was very disappointed and shouted loudly:

"What are you all doing for food? Looking for it! Dig three feet and find Wang Jiayin for me. Without his head, what am I going to give to the governor?"

He Renlong's temper is like this, but when it's time to show loyalty, he will never treat these subordinates badly. The soldiers have long been used to it, and they don't feel much about it.

Not long after, a group of troops came running from a distance, but they saw the Datong soldiers headed by Li Hongji arriving.
