Li Zhi refused to talk nonsense with Zhao Zhu, and escorted more than 20 soldiers to the center of Anqing City. Zhao Zhu's men looked at Li Zhi's soldiers with guns and live ammunition, who dared to stop them?
Walking to the intersection at the entrance of the vegetable market in the center of the city, Li Zhi asked the soldiers to clear an area, let more than 20 soldiers kneel on the ground, and put a sign behind them. The sign had several words in capital letters: "**Women
, beheaded!"
Li Zhi also asked the servant in charge of order to shout loudly at the side and explain the reasons for killing these ruffians.
The common people watched the execution of the rebel soldiers and gathered around them. It was heard that these ruffians wanted to be beheaded by the Tianjin soldiers because they wanted to rape women. The common people applauded in unison, and they all shared the same hatred of the enemy.
These days, the soldiers and horses brought from other places to fight are called guest soldiers. The guest soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were far away from their hometowns, and their style was very barbaric. They often bullied the local people. There is a saying that bandits are like combs, and soldiers are like grates. Bandits came to plunder.
Just like a comb, they combed through the house and plundered all the property in the house, but the teeth of the comb were widely spaced, so some were still missed. When the foreign soldiers came to plunder, they did so openly and with plenty of time, and they searched carefully.
The plunder is more hateful than the bandits, like a fine-toothed grate.
These days, guest soldiers are as terrifying as the king of hell. However, Tianjin's soldiers and horses not only do not plunder civilians, but also arrest ruffians who rape women. They are really benevolent and righteous troops.
More and more people were watching, and the roads were gradually blocked.
Not long after, Zuo Liangyu rushed over on horseback, followed by more than a dozen servants. Zuo Liangyu asked the servants to separate the crowd and walked to Li Zhi himself.
When those kneeling soldiers saw Zuo Liangyu coming, they kowtowed to the ground desperately and shouted: "Commander, help me!"
"Commander, save us!"
Zuo Liangyu cupped his fists and said to Li Zhi: "Guerrilla general, Zuo came late and failed to stop the soldiers from raping women!"
Li Zhi looked at Zuo Liangyu and secretly thought that this warlord actually had the nerve to say that he wanted to stop the soldiers? Isn't it commonplace for his troops to plunder women? Zuo Liangyu's tribe robbed people on a large scale and plundered women, causing riots. Li Zhi was there
I've only seen it twice in the newspaper. Which time did he stop it?
Li Zhi said: "The general is taking care of everything. It's too late. Li Zhi can just handle it for the general."
Zuo Liangyu clasped his fists and said: "Guerrilla General, Zuo Mou's soldiers should still be handled by Zuo Mou, not the guerrilla general acting as his agent!"
Li Zhi said: "I can't control what I can't see, but today I encountered something so outrageous that I won't let it go. The general wants to get the soldiers back, but this won't work!"
Luo Dai, a general behind Zuo Liangyu, was angered by Li Zhi's words. He rushed up and scolded: "guerrilla Li Zhi, you think you are the governor? What authority do you have to punish Zuo Shuai's troops? Be careful, I will lead the troops to copy."
Your camp!"
Li Zhi smiled and said: "Search my camp. I will only send 3,000 people to defend it. I want to see if you 6,000 people can get close to my camp?"
Naluo Dai relied on the strength of Zuo Liangyu's troops over the years, and became accustomed to being arrogant in front of other troops. He suddenly forgot that he was facing Li Zhi of Tianjin. This Li Zhi captured and killed more than 20,000 soldiers in one battle.
The leader of the thieves, he beat the six big thieves into fear, and his combat power was far superior to that of Zuo Liangyu's tribe. Luo Dai threatened Li Zhi with soldiers and horses, which was just a joke in Li Zhi's eyes.
Luo Dai ate a turtle, opened his mouth and was speechless.
Zuo Liangyu looked at Li Zhi and said slowly: "Guerrilla general, I heard that you are in business. If not, I will buy the lives of my soldiers with silver, one hundred taels each! How about it? Buy it.
When I come back, I will whip these soldiers in public, fifty lashes each!"
Li Zhi smiled and said: "One hundred taels is too little, ten thousand taels is just right! Twenty-three rebel soldiers will sell them to you for 230,000 silver, and you will pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other."
Hearing Li Zhi's words, Luo Dai behind Zuo Liangyu shouted, "That's too much!" and was about to rush forward to fight Li Zhi, but was stopped by several generals nearby.
Li Zhi's soldiers and horses were too strong. They collided with Li Zhi. If Li Zhi really got angry with Zuo Liangyu, the Zuo Department would be the unlucky one. Moreover, now that Li Zhi is using Zuo Liangyu's soldiers to bully women, it would be the Zuo Department that would be in great embarrassment.
Liangyu, Shangguan will not punish Li Zhi.
Zuo Liangyu glanced at Li Zhi, stopped talking, and stood aside with his hands behind his back, looking at the more than 20 soldiers on the field with a livid face. Seeing this, Zuo Liangyu's subordinates also looked at the ground in silence one by one.
of soldiers.
The twenty soldiers on the ground looked at Zuo Liangyu, still kowtowing desperately to beg for mercy.
Not long after, Prime Minister Xiong Wencan heard the news and rushed to the entrance of the market with Governor Zhang Guowei, General Mou Wenshou and others. Before Xiong Wencan walked into the crowd, Huang Degong, Liu Yuanbin and others rushed over there.
Come to watch the fun.
Li Zhi, who was killing everyone, faced off against the unruly Zuo Liangyu, which was very exciting.
Panting, Xiong Wencan walked to the door of the vegetable market, separated from the crowd, walked up to Li Zhi, and said, "The guerrilla generals have such a huge formation."
Li Zhi said: "What these officers and soldiers did is unacceptable. How is it different from thieves? Li Zhi has to punish them!"
Xiong Wencan stroked his beard and remained silent.
When Zuo Liangyu saw Xiong Wencan coming, he walked up and clasped his fists and said, "Prime Minister!"
Xiong Wencan looked at Zuo Liangyu and said to Li Zhi: "Li Zhi, just give me some face and return these soldiers to Zuo Liangyu and let him deal with it by himself!"
Although Li Zhi has made great achievements and even assigned his head to Xiong Wencan, Li Zhi will return to Tianjin soon. In the future, Xiong Wencan will have to mobilize Zuo Liangyu's troops to encircle and suppress the bandits. As the saying goes, Xiong Wencan will definitely have to do this on the scene.
Take care of Zuo Liangyu's emotions.
Li Zhi looked at Xiong Wencan and said coldly: "I can't let these ruffians go." Turning his head, Li Zhi shouted to his servant: "Execution!"
Only dozens of gunshots were heard, and Li Zhi's soldiers shot the soldiers in the back of the head, killing them in the middle of the crowd.
Xiong Wencan and other civil servants were startled when they heard the gunshot. Then when they saw the tragic sight of the soldiers on the ground with their brains blooming, they all turned pale.
The onlookers were also startled and took a few steps back when they heard the gunshots. But they quickly reacted and cheered loudly one by one!
"Tianjin's soldiers and horses are well done!"
"Teacher of benevolence and righteousness!"
"Tianjin's soldiers and horses are mighty!"
After Li Zhi finished shooting the rebellious soldiers, he shouted loudly: "Send five thousand soldiers to patrol outside the city. Anyone who finds a woman raping again will be shot on the spot!"
Under the watchful eyes of Xiong Wencan, Zhang Guowei, Zuo Liangyu and others, Li Zhi abandoned the body on the ground and led the team back to the camp.
Zuo Liangyu sighed and said: "Let the soldiers stop supplying outside and return to the camp!"
Zuo Liangyu was depressed, abandoned Xiong Wencan, and led his men back to the camp.
Xiong Wencan looked at Zhang Guowei and said humbly: "This Li Zhi has learned from Zuo Liangyu and has become arrogant and does not obey orders!"
Zhang Guowei sighed and said: "This warrior is really domineering! Does the Prime Minister want to read this book about Li Zhi?"
Xiong Wencan shook his head and said: "What's the use of joining him? The emperor will not punish such a good general! What's more, he is dealing with rebels! We can tolerate Zuo Liangyu, but we must tolerate this Li Zhi even more!"
