Chapter 756
The iron-armored soldiers followed the self-generated musketeer, and they were already out of control. Wang Fuchen rushed to the top of the city with his cavalry. Five hundred cavalrymen galloped on the top of the city, trampling and slashing back and forth, and Liu Zeqing's army could not resist it.
"The city is broken! The city is broken!" Liu family officers and soldiers shouted in horror, and turned around and ran away.
The city gate was opened and groups of Huai troops rushed into the city.
Bai Yongfu led more than 100 family members to resist stubbornly, but unfortunately met Wang Fuchen. The two fought for only one round, and Bai Yongfu was stabbed by Wang Fuchen with a halberd. More than 100 family members were killed by five hundred cavalrymen. It was not that these servants could not fight, but that the equipment was far inferior to Li Guodong's heavy armored cavalry. The heavy armored cavalry of the Huai Army was invulnerable to swords and guns, and the armor of the Liu family members was as fragile as tofu in front of the Huai Army cavalry.
Seeing Bai Yongfu's flag falling down, the Liu family army in the city was defeated. Some people knelt on the ground and surrendered to the Huai army, some took off their tattered mandarin duck battle jackets and hid in the homes of ordinary people. Some people rushed to the east gate, trying to escape, but were stopped by the Huai army ambushed outside the east gate.
At the end of the Battle of Xinghua, Wang Fuchen walked into Li Guodong's central army camp with Bai Yongfu's head. Hao Yaoqi, who had only killed some small soldiers, walked into the central army's tent with a dejected look.
"Master, I will kill Bai Yongfu in the last formation!" Wang Fuchen presented Bai Yongfu's head.
Li Guodong laughed: "Okay! Little Lu Bu really fulfilled his high expectations and made great contributions to me, Li! My uncle will report to Your Majesty and give you the title of general officer."
"Brother Xie!"
Li Guodong turned his head to look at Hao Yaoqi again: "General Hao, although you did not kill the enemy general, you were the first to attack the city. This song of climbing is yours, and you have made great contributions to Li! My uncle will report to Your Majesty and promote you to general!"
"Uncle Xie!" Hao Yaoqi was overjoyed and quickly knelt down to thank him.
The Huai Army invaded Xinghua City, Wang Chengen's Dongchang Ancestor and Zhang Shuheng's Jinyiwei also entered the city, and then began to search the house according to Wang Yongji's list of nine clans, which made Xinghua City frustrated and panic.
Wang Yongji's power in Gaoyou area is deeply rooted. If it were normal, who could shake his status here? But because he was too powerful in Gaoyou area, Wang Chengen and Zhang Shuheng, who were responsible for the search, smiled so hard that their mouths could not be closed.
"Hahaha! Wang Ni's power here is very powerful! It's better to be very powerful. How many families can we conquer?" Zhang Shuheng laughed.
Wang Chengen smiled happily: "Wang Ni is here, and he has colluded with many officials, gentry, salt merchants. The people he captured will be carefully tried by the Jinyiwei, and it is impossible to find more big fish."
In Xinghua Shoe City, there were many chaos in the magnificent gardens. The Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyiwei appeared in the magnificent gardens. The factory guards, like wolves and tigers, walked out of the luxurious gardens of the gentry and took them into the military camp outside the city. What awaited these people was the Zhao Prison and the Trial of the Jinyiwei. Based on the principle of killing as few as possible, only a few first culprits were killed. The rest of the male men would become slaves, handcuffed and shackled in the dark mine for the rest of their lives; as for women, Jinyiwei, Dongchang Fanzi and Huai Army soldiers, they also needed women. Some women who seemed more pleasing were picked, the other young women and little girls were sold to the Jiaofangsi, and the elderly and poor women were all sent to the washing office to wash clothes.
"Pa" A Jinyiwei whipped a vicious whip at a middle-aged woman who was as fat as a pig. The Jinyiwei yelled: "Have hurry up with the old lady! Still treating herself as a rich wife? Tell you that you went to the washing clothes bureau and let your father-in-law train you well!"
The fat woman was sobbing that she cried loudly, but she didn't dare to sit on the ground and splash. She had done that just now, but the Jinyiwei whipped her and made her skin burst into tears. It was not until she stood up that the whip stopped.
This Jinyiwei was originally a refugee from the north. In the year of disaster, the gentry was still forcing debts and rent, which made his family no longer have a way out, so he had to leave his hometown and become a refugee. As a result, he was lucky enough to be selected by the Jinyiwei and become a captain of the Jinyiwei. He naturally hated these unscrupulous gentry. He beat this fat woman hard. Such a fat and ugly old woman would definitely not be selected by the factory guards or officers and soldiers as a wife. The final outcome was to be sent to the washing machine to wash clothes for the rest of his life.
After the prisoner was taken out, the factory guards began to search the house unscrupulously in the garden. Boxes of gold, silver and treasures were carried out, loaded into a large cart, and sent to the military camp outside the city.
In the military camp, boxes filled with gold, silver and treasures quickly piled up into a hill. Wang Chengen smiled and looked at the list: "Wow! I'm getting rich again! A small county town has copied out 800,000 taels of silver, 60,000 taels of gold, and countless jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings!"
Wang Chengen was already obsessed with the house search. He suffered with Chongzhen for 17 years. Several times, Chongzhen was really out of money and cried to ask for help from the gentry and the nobles. However, everyone cried poorly. There were so many gentry and nobles in the capital, and in the end they couldn't even get 200,000 taels of silver. However, as soon as the house searched, millions and tens of millions of silver rolled in like a surging river, which immediately solved the problem of the financial crisis.
"Eunuch Wang, Wang Yongji's nest is in Gaoyou, so why isn't it here? After we get Gaoyou, we can get more money." Zhang Shuheng said with a smile.
Wang Chengen said excitedly: "Is the emperor still unhappy to send so much money to the emperor? As long as the emperor is happy, our family will be happy!"
Outside Yangzhou City, not far from Gaoyou, Gao Jie's army.
Gao Jie's army was similar to Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing, both of them were bandits. Gao Jie was originally a rebel army, but after putting on the green grasslands on Li Zicheng, he took Li Zicheng's wife Xing and more than 2,000 brothers to join the official army. When he was a bandit army, he was chased by officers and soldiers every day. After he joined the government army, he finally lived a stable life and won several battles against the bandit army, but the good times did not last long. The great disaster in Henan in the 15th year of Chongzhen made Li Zicheng grow rapidly like a snowball.
The Ming generals surrendered to the rebel army one after another, but Gao Jie could not surrender. It would be strange if Li Zicheng, whose wife was stolen, did not cut him into pieces.
So after the crushing defeat in Tongguan, Bai Guangen and Chen Yongfu surrendered one after another, and Gao Jie chose to run away and fled all the way to Lianghuai. When he arrived in Xuzhou, he happened to encounter a rare good thing: King Fu asked him to support himself and escort him to Yangzhou.
At that time, everyone in the Huai River and the south thought that Chongzhen was dead and King Fu was likely to ascend the throne. Of course, Gao Jie chose to support him, so he escorted King Fu to Yangzhou. After King Fu crossed the river to Nanjing and became a supervisor, he agreed to let Gao Jie station in Yangzhou.
Yangzhou is a rich and fertile land. It is a beautiful thing to be stationed in Yangzhou. Who knew that at this moment, news that Chongzhen was not dead came! The reason why Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing and others joined forces to seize Shi Kefa and others, and wanted to help King Fu to the throne before Chongzhen arrived in Nanjing was because he knew that King Fu had come to power and he was a great contribution. If Chongzhen went to Nanjing to continue to be the emperor, he would be nothing.
"Report to the Grand Commander, Liu Liangzuo's envoy is here." A personal soldier came to report.
"Let him in quickly." Gao Jie said happily.
However, Gao Jie was shocked after reading the letter Liu Liangzuo gave him, but he remained calm and remained calm. After all, he was an old fried dough stick that came out of the sea of blood. If he had no chance, he would have died on the northern battlefield.
