Needless to say, the result was that although the Ming army descended from the city was a dead soldier, most of them were gentry slaves. They had not undergone much training and had no excellent armor. They were arrowed by the cavalry of a thousand Tumot Khan tents. At least half of them were shot into hedgehogs. Most of the surviving people hurriedly grabbed the rope that had not been taken back and fled back to the city. Only a few guys who were not afraid of death rushed towards the Mongolians with shields in their hands, but they were all chopped into meat paste.

Just as dawn the next day, the Tumotes launched an attack. The defenders on the city could only watch the fishing road extending. The only thing they could do was to shoot guns and shoot arrows, kill a group of gentry, merchants and slaves who were held in front of the Tumotes as cannon fodder.

Li Guodong, who was far away in Jinan City, naturally knew about these things Li Hong and the Tumotes did. When he heard the agent's report, Li Guodong smiled and said, "These gentry were originally the elites of the country, but now they have become one of the cancers of the country! They colluded with merchants, exploited the people, and deceived the court. If these people died, the world would be peaceful!"

However, the gentry and profiteering merchants in the late Ming Dynasty were just one of the cancers, and there were two other cancers, one of which was a royal family vassal king. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the population of the royal family was as large as one million! The Ming Dynasty, with a total population of more than 100 million people, only more than 50 million people created wealth. Among these 50 million people, a large part of them were devoted to the names of gentry and royal family, and some were tenants. These people only had to pay land rent and did not bear taxes; there were also gentry and royal family slaves who did not bear taxes. The real farmers and small landlords who paid taxes were probably less than 20 million.

For example, just King Fu of Henan, his fields and food are enough to pacify the bandits in the northwest!

However, when Li Zicheng hit his doorstep, he was reluctant to take out a tael of silver to pay military salaries. There was enough food for Luoyang soldiers and civilians to eat for ten years in the warehouse, and he was reluctant to take out a piece of food to send to the army. As a result, he was slaughtered. The wealth he accumulated was in vain in the end, Li Zicheng!

As for the last cancer, it is the military household system. Each military household cultivated fields with three hectares of land is exempt from tax, which means that a military household has 300 acres of land. However, today's ordinary military households are actually tenants, and the hereditary military household garrison officers are big landlords who do not pay taxes! These military household fields are embezzled by officers, so these officers will naturally not pay taxes to the court.

As for the vassal king, Li Guodong didn't need to worry about it. Most of the vassal kings in the late Ming Dynasty were too poor to lose their money, and Li Zicheng would deal with them like Fu. Not to mention Fu Wang, even Zhu Gongye, the King of Zhou, paid out his own pockets for soldiers when Li Zicheng's army was coming, and he also paid out his own pockets to build a city, but Li Zicheng let water flood Kaifeng, and Zhu Gongye died of illness soon after, and his four sons fell into Li Zicheng's hands and were killed.

Every time Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong went, almost all the royal families of the vassal kings were killed by them. Whether they surrendered or captured, whether they begged for mercy or not, whether they were happy to tell the hidden place of wealth, they would be killed. The royal families in the north were almost killed by Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. This was actually the contribution of the peasant uprising army to history. Moreover, the peasant uprising army also killed many gentry and businessmen, which was another major contribution.

At the end of his life, Sun Chuanting was still angry and killed a group of gentry who refused to support the Qin army's food and salary? Although Sun Chuanting was also a gentry class, he knew the harm to the court in this era. It was just that everyone was smart, and they could see through some things but not tell them thoroughly, and everyone knew it. In the end, Emperor Chongzhen forced Sun Chuanting to send troops. Sun Chuanting knew that he would die, so he simply killed a group of gentry and was defeated and died.

If Li Guodong wants to avoid the fate of the world, he must eliminate the cancer of the Ming Dynasty. However, these dirty things cannot be done by himself, so he trained Li Hong into Tumote Khan, secretly supported Zhang Xianzhong, and secretly sent agents to help Li Zicheng, in order to use their hands to eliminate the two cancers of the gentry, rioters and tyrants and royal family. As for military households, they will be useful in the future. When Li Zicheng enters the capital, and then the Qing army enters the pass, Li Guodong will incorporate all the military households and form a team to fight against the Qing Dynasty.

After the gentry destroyed by Li Hong fell into Li Guodong's hands, Li Guodong would certainly not pay taxes to the Ming Dynasty honestly. What taxes should be paid? Why should I take out his money to the court? When I gave it to the court, most of them were corrupt officials and corrupt officials. So he wanted to keep the money to expand his army and make plans for the future.

In Raoyang hundreds of miles away, the Tumotes were still sieging the city fiercely. With the advancement of the Yuliang Road, the Tumote Khan Tent cavalry came to the city under the protection of the shield chariot and shot overwhelming arrows at the city head. The rain of arrows fell on the city head, and countless reeds suddenly grew on the city wall. Li Hong's cavalry's archery skills were extremely accurate, and shooting the arrows at the city head caused great losses to the defenders.

The defenders on the city head fought back desperately, and the bird guns and bows and arrows shot at the cannon fodders who built the fish beam road. As the distance approached, the firepower on the city head became more fierce. Not only were bird guns, bows and arrows, lime bottles, and turbulent tanks used. The defenders in the city also pulled out several temporary trenchers and fired them as stones, causing significant losses to the slaves who built the fish beam road.

Li Hong paid the price of sacrificing more than 3,000 slaves, and Yuliangdao finally topped the city wall in the evening.

"Report to the Khan!" A Mongolian soldier hurriedly ran into Li Hong's central army tent, "Yuliang Road has been completed!"

"Okay!" Li Hong stood up, "Tell me my order and attack the top of the city!"

The Tumotes placed the shield chariot in front of the cannon fodder and opened the way. A large number of cavalry dismounted as archers, following closely behind the shield chariot, and even eight tiger squat cannons and four folang machines were pushed up. The shield chariot slowly advanced towards the city. The Mongolian archers following behind shot dense arrows at the city. The cannons sprayed fire and made a deafening roar. The shells made sparks splash at the female walls, and the defenders at the city fell one after another.

The defenders who were trapped in beasts fought to the death, and a group of people fell down, and another group of people rushed up to prevent the Mongolians from climbing the city from the Yuliangdao.

The Ming army spearmen used to prevent Mongolian cavalry were shot in scattered by archers, and twelve small cannons roared, causing blood to splatter on the top of the city, screaming in terrible voices.

Seeing that the defense line at the city was loosened, Li Hong handed the token to Hang Gao: "General Hang Gao! You can reach the city with one thousand cavalry at a speed!"

"Zha!" Hang Gao called a thousand and took the token and left.

The shield and chariot formation in front made a way to both sides. More than a thousand Mongolian cavalry shouted and rode their horses to the top of the city. The cavalry rushed into the city. More than a dozen cavalry in front were strung into candied haws by the spearmen, but they also broke into thin spear formations. Then the cavalry jumped into the city, rode their horses back and forth, and cut the blood on the top of the city into a river. However, the defenders continued to rush over, and almost fought for life to fight, and rushed towards the cavalry without hesitation. While they were knocked away, they also stabbed the spear into the Mongolian war horses and cavalry.

At the same time, in another direction, Zamusu and Tuguqi led a thousand elite khan tent cavalry to get off the horse and use it as infantry. In front of them was cannon fodder carrying a simple cloud ladder and erecting the ladder on the city wall. More than a thousand khan tent cavalry quickly climbed the city.

The defenders were attracted by Yuliangdao, and a team of Mongolians climbed up to the top of the city from the other side.

"Kill!" Zamusu and Tuguqi led more than a thousand elite Khan's cavalry and launched a fierce attack towards the city gate tower. These thousand Khan's cavalry were also the most elite infantry after getting off the horse. If it were in the era of Genghis Khan, the Khan's cavalry would be the Qixue Army.

At a distance, the cavalry of the Khan Tent shot with their stomp bows; when the distance was close, they became sword players and entered the crowd, and the defenders could not resist it at all.
