Shaanxi quelled the rebellion, and the silver came from the royal family. Most of the silver came from the mining tax, which was collected by eunuchs of all sizes. The emperor's family slaves spared no effort to make money. It has been added twice since this year.

If the mining tax is to grab food from the miners and to grab silver from the local government, there will be a local mining prison in Jiangnan, and everyone will be beaten and will be labeled as a big hat of an eunuch party.

.

The more Li Kaiyuan thought about it, the more he became, and muttered: "When he left Beijing a month ago, the cabinet was still negotiating taxes, and most of the fifty taxes would need to be changed."

Fu Zonglong's face was gloomy, and he naturally smelled the ominous smell of chaos in Jiangnan. Officials and businessmen in Jiangnan colluded with each other and created a mining chaos.

Ma Cheng grinned and said, "Kill!"

Although Fu Zonglong was worried, he agreed: "If there is a great chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, it should be wiped out with thunder and trembling power. The benefits of the salt and iron mines will be kept in the hands of the court."

Ma Cheng felt a sense of absurdity again. Compared with the coal bosses in later generations, it was not worth mentioning. The mining bosses in the Ming Dynasty dared to make a rebellion.

Fu Zonglong pondered and worried, "It's just that, the factory guards will become overwhelmed, and this is not beautiful."

Li Kaiyuan said disdainfully: "Which Wei Zongxian is a slave, it's not worth worrying about."

Ma Cheng smiled knowingly. In the eyes of Fengcheng Hou and his son, Wei Zhongxian and others were indeed not worth mentioning, they were just a dog from the emperor's family.

Three days later, the county town.

During the three days, the rebels did not besiege the county government again. Instead, the official army took the opportunity to attack everywhere, gathering many scattered soldiers scattered in the city, doubled their control range and made the front more stable.

From time to time, bandits left in groups. They naturally had to rob them before leaving, and they would break the peace from time to time. The chaos in the county town was scattered, robbed food, women, and weapons.

Macheng is used to standing on the high roof and looking at the streets crying not far away. The big bandits are plundering refugees. The refugees are already extremely poor, and they only have a few bags of food they robbed in the chaos, so they are naturally human.

People fought desperately with the bandits, but the sticks and stones could not withstand the sharp blades and were cut down in front of and behind the houses. The bandits were killed in an ugly way, and the thin woman was pressed down on the street, and the harsh screams made Macheng

The personal soldiers around them held the handle of the knife one after another.

This kind of thing happens every day, gradually turning people into a heart like iron.

At the same time, a team of cavalry appeared on the northwest horizon. The number of cavalry as big as an ant was not large, but their morale was like a rainbow to rush towards a group of bandits. Dozens of bandits with horses desperately fought to escape, but were chased by light cavalry

After catching up with each other, it was probably because the horse was carrying food on its back and could not run fast, and he died without any resistance. The team of light cavalry won a great victory and was busy gathering the unowned war horses.

Ding Wen spitted in a mouthful of saliva and sneered: "Retribution is coming."

Ma Cheng was also quite happy. The life-saving rations robbed from refugees became a burden when escaping. It was really a cycle of retribution. Everyone in the left and right personal soldiers were happy. Judging from the direction, it was the Shanxi soldiers who arrived and the forward.

The whistle cavalry has reached ten miles outside the city, and the army must be fifty miles away, and it can be reached every night. Although there is no movement in the southeast direction, the road to Henan must be very difficult. The carefully planned plan of encirclement on all sides finally worked and was still stranded in the county town.

The rebels cannot fly.

A small number of bandits who have fled back to the mountains will not be a problem, and will sooner or later be completely wiped out by the successor of Shaanxi Governor.

The next morning, a brigade of reinforcements from the northwest direction finally appeared. Tens of thousands of people and horses led by cavalry, forming a formation and slowly pressing up. Finally, a large camp was set up ten miles outside the city, and the military and civilians began to dig pits and build camps. The brigade of cavalry was eyeing the cavalry wandering around the periphery.

The thieves in the county were in an uproar and completely lost their unified command. The city gates were wide open. The bandits from all over the city fleeing in chaos. Even idiots knew that they could not hide in the city and were packed with dumplings.

The officers outside the city quickly moved, and the large group of people tightened their pockets in the northwest direction, but allowed the thieves to flee southeast direction. The cavalry of Shanxi Town who were wandering outside the city roared and defeated the large bandits and small bands

The bandits were annihilated on the spot, with drums rumbling, and tens of thousands of officials lined up, approaching step by step with swords and guns, slashing the thieves running around one by one, and the thieves who fled to the southeast would be much better.

Half a day later, there were horses in the city, strong and strong rebels, and the White Lotus Sect members fled.

Macheng looked at the sky in the southeast. When it was dark, the stars of people were defeated from the southeast. The defeated soldiers all over the mountains retreated towards the county town. The largest number of bandits should be around 10,000, and it should be to go to Henan.

On the way, he was intercepted by the official army and defeated in one fell swoop and fled back. He was chased by the official cavalry and had no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground, just like the miserable miserable time when the Ming army faced Jiannu.

Henan, Zhili, and the capital, thousands of cavalry can always be gathered together. They cooperate with two thousand Kaiyuan Iron Cavalry to gallop on the Central Plains, and they are invincible for a while. The rebels have tasted the first time they faced the elite field cavalry army of officials and have no way out.

But if you are embarrassed to escape, you will be caught by the cavalry if you run a little slower. Only then will you understand the difficulty of rebellion and rebellion. Even if you gather tens of thousands of people, you can't stand the thousands of cavalry rushing for a while.

Ma Cheng remembered the famous Three Walls Cavalry of the Breaking Army. Under the indulgence of the stupid gentleman, the Breaking Army, which had been defeated repeatedly, finally had an iron cavalry. It was called Three Walls, and it was the official army's turn to defeat it.

This is the huge role of cavalry in the cold weapon era. At the same time, the West did even more amazingly. Even artillery developed into artillery on horseback. This path will never be wrong. This is the glorious era of modern cavalry.

A large number of thieves flocked into the county town and killed everyone when they saw it, and there was another mess.

Fu Zonglong couldn't stand it anymore and discussed sending troops. Ma Cheng thought for a while and still recognized it. In the county yamen, the scattered soldiers with various accents were gathered and came out in front of the formation. While clearing out the bandits, they contacted each other scattered in the city.

Under the command of the official commander who held the handgun and crossed the sword, the Shenji Camp protected each other layer by layer and advanced. When they encountered thieves running around, they fired guns, which was somewhat like a modern firearm troops.

.

The troops along the streets were cleared, and the troops were as big as snow groups along the way. The Ming army scattered all over the county town suffered heavy casualties. Less than half of them survived, but miraculously did not disperse, and the remaining troops were still resisting, cheering wherever the commander camp went.

The sounds are everywhere and the morale is bursting. It can be seen that the combat effectiveness that people can exert in desperate situations is really amazing.

The rather embarrassed official troops returned one after another, and Fu Zonglong excitedly said, "I, the emperor, never lacks loyal and patriotic people!"

Ma Cheng also said happily, "That's right."

After the demise of the Ming Dynasty in later generations, the rebels from all over the country still fought to the death. The last Ming army also fought to Myanmar to create another world. The vast country of the Celestial Empire was always short of high-quality soldiers. Suddenly, dense sounds of bird guns like fried beans came from the front.
