Chapter 229 People's minds

The lower leader Fu Zonglong showed his official power and scolded him: "Since he is a good citizen, why do you follow the thief?"

The younger ones among the three looked up and argued: "I can't survive anymore, I have to have a bite of food."

The older man slapped him and knelt down and begged for mercy: "The three brothers are unforgivable. Even if the adults are defeated, the villain will never complain."

Fu Zonglong was slightly surprised, obviously because he felt pity for talent. The older Xu Jiang was rarely clear-headed and brave, but he was a character. Ma Cheng knew that he had the intention of conquering these three brothers, so he didn't stop him.

, I am willing to be a man of beauty, and talent is rare. Such a person is an excellent candidate for the captain of the personal soldiers. It is a ridiculous idea to raise a tiger to be a disaster. Ma Cheng knew very well that the difficulty of rebelling in the Ming Dynasty was difficult than climbing the sky

.

Li Zicheng was able to subvert the Ming Dynasty, but it was not because of the turtle spirit that was exposed, and he followed him like clouds.

The famous title of King of Chuang is not Li Zicheng alone. The King of Chuang before Li Zicheng has a higher prestige. It is ridiculous that the army of Chuang finally subverted the Ming Dynasty. They were defeated and defeated, surrendered and rebelled, and were several times officials.

The army fought only a few personal guards and fled into the mountains. They were really a group of stray dogs. It was such a group of stray dogs who were indulged by moral gentlemen and nerds in the court several times, which eventually led to a disaster.

If it weren't for the stupidity and dementia of moral gentlemen who read books, Li Zicheng would have died many times, and history books were all deceitful. A man who wanted to climb a high place and subverted the country with one shout. It was really a big joke.

The city was born and had no place to die if you wanted to sit in the world. The fall of the Ming Dynasty was actually at the hands of a stupid and stupid scholar, which made future generations sigh.

While pondering, Fu Zonglong heard the ruthless scolding: "A bastard, I bully my official ignorant, you three brothers committed to thieves, I don't know how many good people have been killed, so I dragged them out and chopped them!"

The three brothers of Xu were ashamed. The young man angrily defended: "If you want to kill, kill me. Don't slander my brother's innocence. Grandpa is not afraid!"

The older one looked dim, and if he took the wrong step, he would be unable to turn around and his head fell to the ground.

Ma Cheng is just funny. Lord Fu is really a close-minded parent. He deals with Diaomen every day, so it is no problem to conquer these brothers.

Sure enough, Fu Zonglong still had a dark face and scolded: "As the deputy envoy of recruiting, I will definitely be punished without any instruction. I will take it down to interrogate separately!"

The three brothers' eyes rose again, and they kowtowed in a hurry, and were taken outside to interrogate separately for any evil deeds.

Later, Ma Cheng smiled and said, "Brother Fu is happy to win a good general, so he can be happy to congratulate you."

Fu Zonglong still had some official power and said seriously: "If these three brothers really do evil deeds, I will never tolerate them. I should be killed if I should."

Ma Cheng had already seen it clearly that among the three brothers, the eldest was a talented person. He had prepared the retreat for the three brothers, so he would not commit any unforgivable sins. It is no wonder that Master Fu was able to take one step and see three steps.

If you want to clean up and stay with you, Fu Zonglong made great contributions after this battle, and he is very likely to stay in Shaanxi and serve as the Minister of War and the Governor of Shaanxi. It is no problem to clean up a few people.

With Fu Zonglong's mental means, a place in Shaanxi can be another strong supporter in Kaiyuan or a barrier to the capital.

The power of governors in a place is extremely great. If you put on horseback, you should control the army and dismount your horse. If you always have to protect him as a governor, you should manage Shaanxi to become the Great Wall of the country.

Late at night, the county town gradually calmed down.

The rebels fought all day and were tired after all, and the officials were lenient in killing people. They had nothing to do all night, and both sides seemed to have exhausted their last energy.

The next morning, smoke rose from cooking in the southwest of Shuaiying.

Ma Cheng stood on the roof of the county government office, looking at the smoke rising from the stove of every household, his face was strange. Yesterday, two grain warehouses were lost. The refugees grabbed the grain and actually lived a life. It was really ridiculous. It was not like

It is a slaughterhouse that fought fiercely in front of the two armies, and it is a picture of peace and peace.

Fu Zonglong and Li Kaiyuan also worked hard to climb up, stunned at the smoke rising in the city.

After a long time, Fu Zonglong sighed and said, "The people's minds are settled."

Ma Cheng thought that this is the truth. Who would be willing to rebel if you have a bite of food? The big refugees have lived in the city. It would be difficult for the bandits to threaten the 200,000 refugees. At least after eating the food

Before, these refugees stayed in the city and refused to leave, afraid that the knife was on their necks and would not rush around in the wind and rain. The two grain warehouses that were lost yesterday had a lot of grain storage, enough for 200,000 yuan.

The refugees have been eating for a few days.

However, Ma Cheng and the other two dared not neglect and remained strictly guarded to avoid falling into the desperate situation like yesterday.

Even the commander charges in person and uses precious heavy cavalry as meat bullets. The three commanders are scared and don't want to do it again. The soldiers below are rushing to make rain cannons, and they are very luxuriously sewing rainproof cloth with cowhide.

Covering the cannon, it also suffered from heavy rain.

The situation in the city seemed very delicate. Twenty thousand Ming troops were split into dozens of large and small groups, defending the barricades. More than 200,000 refugees and rebels were mixed together. Both sides were in peace. The rebels suffered heavy casualties and suffered heavy casualties in the attacks for several days.

It was powerless to eat 20,000 Ming troops. A good city offensive and defensive battle, and it fought Stalingrad, and the offensive and defensive sides were in a complete stalemate. Looking from a distance, a team of rebel cavalry came out of the West Gate without any head.

I've been back.

There are also smart people in the rebels. Seeing that the situation is not good, they should have been cleaning up the fine and soft spots and become the mountain king.

Ma Cheng looked at the team of cavalry gradually disappearing and suddenly asked, "In Brother Fu's opinion, how much is the cost of the imperial court in this battle?"

Fu and Li couldn't keep up with his jumping thinking. After a long time, Fu Zonglong replied cautiously: "This battle should be used for more than 100,000 troops, and the food and grass, and military funds are really impossible to estimate. Well, the foundation of the Ministry of Revenue is still

It was hollowed out."

Li Kaiyuan laughed: "The Ministry of Revenue has no foundation. When Ye Xianggao was in charge of the administration, he had to exempt Jiangnan commercial tax and mining tax. Those who had early poverty had to be used as pants. This battle cost more than the internal money."

Fu Zonglong's face was gloomy and he snorted: "Ye Xianggao and others have great ambitions and talent."

Ma Cheng smiled, however, he forced tax exemption despite the national financial difficulties, and clamored every day that the court could not compete with the people for profit. The only one who could do such a ridiculous thing through history was the Donglin Party. The Ministry of Revenue could not even pay the Liaodong military pay.

, and we must vigorously eliminate taxes and completely destroy the national finances. This is a ridiculous thing done by the Donglin Party of Zhengying Dynasty. This is really a group of unimaginable worms. He sneered in his heart, and these worms did not end well in the end.

The Qing people attacked a city in Jiangnan and slaughtered a city. The blood that killed it flowed into a river and the massive wealth accumulated, which naturally made the Eight Banners princes and princes cheaper, which was ridiculous and lamentable.

Fu Zonglong pondered for a moment, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "My brother's intention, Jiangnan is unstable?"
