Chapter 816 The red lady makes trouble with Lu Xi

The Wang family in Shandong Xincheng is a famous local wealthy family. This family has produced royal officials such as Wang Chongguang, Wang Xianggan, and Wang Zhiyuan. Now the Wang family has also surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, but the Xincheng where they were originally located has been moved to western Shandong because they were squeezed by the Huai Army's military households. The western Shandong was once injured by the invasion of the Later Jin army and the rebel army. There were very few local gentry left. After the Wang family arrived in western Shandong, they formed a group training with their family forces and quickly occupied a large area of ​​land. After the Qing army arrived in western Shandong, the Wang family chose to surrender to the Qing army without hesitation.

The current head of the Wang family is named Wang Yuchi. He is the son of Wang Xiangjin, the former governor of Zhejiang in the Ming Dynasty. Wang Yuchi has a ten-year-old son Wang Shizhen. This son is a prodigy. He is good at cursive script at the age of seven and has memorized the "Four Books and Five Classics" at the age of nine. If it weren't for the war, even scholars would have passed the exam.

"The country has been destroyed, what's the use of studying?" Mrs. Sun felt distressed that her son Wang Shizhen, who practiced calligraphy with his pen and hard.

Wang Yuchi snorted coldly: "Woman's opinion! The Qing Dynasty is here, don't you want scholars? When the Qing Dynasty opens the imperial examination and takes the imperial examination, you can go to the imperial examination for the Jinshi."

"Master, I heard that I have to shave my hair and change my clothes when I am an official in the Qing Dynasty." said the butler Wang Dongfu.

"Shaving your hair is better than losing your head." Wang Yuchi said.

At present, the Qing army has not yet forcibly implemented the hair shaving order. The men of the Wang family are still wearing Han costumes, tied their hair, and wearing hats symbolizing scholars on their heads. However, a few days ago, a former Ming army general, who is now the Green Camp general, came to report that he had to shave his hair and change his clothes to participate in the Qing Dynasty imperial examination. Although the Green Camp general was still wearing the Ming military uniform and the goose yellow red tassel felt hat, he took off his hat and his hair was shaved, leaving only a rattail braid with money.

When the Wang family members left, Mrs. Sun sneered: "If you shave such a head, you will not be able to enter the ancestral tomb if you die."

"If you don't shave your head, you're going to die now!" Wang Yuchi snorted.

On the New Year’s Eve, every household of Wang is decorated with lights and firecrackers, welcoming the New Year.

In order to welcome the New Year, the Wang surnamed Wang specially changed into a brand new Qing army uniform in the Green Camp, wearing a warm hat on his head, and a dark blue seventh-rank military officer's uniform. After the boss put on the Qing Dynasty military officer's uniform, he carefully slapped him a few times, for fear that his clothes would get dirty.

"Bang bang bang" The sound of firecrackers was mixed with the roar of muskets.

"It seems that the sound is wrong. Someone is firing a gun?" The Wang family's boss heard the sound of the gun and felt something was wrong, so he walked out of the house and wanted to see what was going on.

More than a dozen servants also ran out with him, and the soldiers also changed into new military uniforms, wore black red tassel warm hats, and a zipper with the word "soldier" written on the front, chest and back. Because they were servants, they also put on leather armor on the outside.

"Cabin! There are cavalry!" A Qing soldier screamed in horror when he heard the movement in the woods.

"Bang" with a roar of Lumi's gun, a projectile shot from a hundred steps away, accurately hitting the Qing soldier's forehead. The Qing soldier's forehead exploded, and the white brain mixed with blood flowed out, and the warm hat flew out five or six steps away.

More than a dozen cavalrymen in blue arrow clothes rushed out of the woods. The leader of the knight was actually a woman in red. She was wearing a big red dress, wearing a snow-white cloak, riding a white horse, and following more than a dozen infantrymen in mandarin duck battle jackets and holding muskets rushed towards the Qing soldiers.

"It's a thief! Run!" The man named Wang screamed in shock. He knew that the woman was the famous female thief Hong Madam!

"Kill the Tartars! Kill the fake slaves!" The cavalry rushed up with shouts, and the musketeers following behind set up a row of guns. The white smoke rose up, and the surname Wang fell down one after another.

The Wang family spread his legs and ran away, but the Hongniang was very fast. The war horse had already rushed behind him. With a long whip, the whip with an iron hook whizzed past the back of the Wang family's neck, like a sharp steel knife, and the Wang family immediately rolled the head of the general into the sky.

"The thief is here! The thief is here!" The Wang family courtyard was in chaos, the man shouted, the woman cried, and several ward guards rushed to close the door.

"Swoosh swish swish swish" three consecutive arrows followed one after another. The three servants who tried to close the door were shot and fell down screaming.

The Red Lady shot three arrows in a row. She saw a Wang family servant pulling a bow and arrow on the tower in the courtyard, so she turned around and shot another arrow. The servant who was standing on the watchtower covered the arrow shaft that pierced his throat, and a backward green onion fell from the watchtower.

More than a dozen old camp cavalrymen had already rushed into the courtyard, and some people who were blocking them were either stabbed by a spear to death or were trampled to death by horse hooves.

The musketeers who followed closely behind also rushed into the courtyard, and saw a bright sharp knife inserted on their musket. When they encountered someone who had resisted, they stabbed them with one stab.

After the cavalry rushed into the courtyard, the cavalry who had lost their speed jumped off their horses and chopped slaves and servants in the courtyard.

Hongniang waved a long whip in her hand, and flesh and blood flew everywhere where the whip passed, and no one could reach a round under her hands. Hongniang followed two female soldiers, and chopping people up was even more fierce than male soldiers.

"What a great female thief!" The Wang family servants dared not go up to stop them. When they saw a red figure approaching, they fled in all directions. But they couldn't run away. The musketeers pulled out their short guns from their waists and pointed the rushing servants at the rushing servants. The sound of guns continued, and the Wang family guards fell in a pool of blood.

Some of the old camp cavalrymen who dismounted their horses and shot them with bows and arrows, and some threw javelins, killing them to make blood flow into a river in the Wang family courtyard.

In a blink of an eye, all the men who could resist the Wang family were killed, and the remaining men, women, young and old either hid in the house or knelt on the ground to surrender.

"Who is the head of the Wang family?" asked the Hongniang.

Wang Yuchi, who was kneeling on the ground, quickly stood up: "I am..."

"Kneel down! Who asked you to stand up!" Cui'er and Yun'er beside Hongniang were both crying at the same time.

The twin girls looked exactly the same and were very beautiful, but Wang Yuchi dared not appreciate the little beauty. He quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Good hero, please spare my life!"

The Hongniang shouted: "Whoever is surnamed Wang, your Wang family has been favored by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty for generations. Why did they not seek gratitude and surrender to Jiannu instead?"

"The heroine, the villain has no choice. Shandong was occupied by the Tartars. If the villain did not surrender, the whole family would be killed by the Tartars. But although the villain surrendered, he was in Cao's camp and was in the Han Dynasty. He had long been looking forward to the return of the royal army."

"Excuse!" The red lady's eyebrows stood up, "Jiaodong is the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Why don't you go to Jiaodong and come to Shandong instead?"

"..." The king and the chi were speechless.

Cui'er and Yun'er stepped forward at the same time. The two women raised their swords and fell. Cui'er cut off the head of Wang and Chi. Yun'er swept across Wang and Chi's waist. The light of the knife flashed, and Wang and Chi were cut into four pieces.

"Kill all the males who are higher than the wheels!" The Hongniang gave the order coldly.

Wang Shizhen escaped the fate of being killed because he was lucky enough to be shorter than the wheel, but he was plundered by the Ming army and became a slave. This later Minister of Justice of the Qing Dynasty became a slave.

All the slaves of the Wang family were captured. Under the swords and guns of the Ming army, they rushed to the east in a large cart filled with gold, silver and treasures.

After the Hongniang robbed the Wang family, she led one hundred cavalry and one hundred musketeers to loot the gentry of the Qing Dynasty in western Shandong, attacked the post station, attacked the passerby Qing army's baggage transport team, and disturbed the entire western Shandong. She even disguised herself as a disguise and mixed into Juye, Yuncheng and other county towns. She suddenly launched the city, killing the county magistrate sent by the Qing court, killing the Qing soldiers in the city, and then robbed the tax silver from the county yamen and left.
