Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 232
Yang Menglong was really honest and cute. He didn't delay for a second after receiving the military order. He ran to the barracks overnight and ordered the Wuyang Guards to prepare for the west of Liaoning. Grain, mules, horses, and various weapons, etc., must be dispatched in a short time. Get ready, and recruit civilian husbands. In short, all preparations must be made.This bastard gave the order, and the whole Wuyang Guard was in chaos. This was an expedition of thousands of miles. Wuyang Guard had no such experience at all, and he even had no experience. Everyone didn't know what to do. It's crazy.After tossing around for a whole day, he still didn't come up with a clue. Yang Meng's faucet was getting bigger. It just so happened that Xixia County was in an emergency, saying that a large number of refugees had arrived in Xixia, ransacked many villages, and were approaching the county seat. ... The military situation was urgent. Yang Menglong, who was used to throwing his hands away as a treasurer, said goodbye to Xiao Yufang in a hurry. He gathered all the war horses, mules, horses, and camels of Wuyangwei, and recruited more than 2000 horses from the people, and gathered more than [-] pack animals. He rushed out of the barracks and rushed towards Xixia County excitedly, so fast that Fang Yizhi had no chance to stop him, he could only chase after him out of breath.

This guy wants to fight like crazy!
From Wuyang to Xixia, they traversed the entire Nanyang Mansion. With the marching speed of this era, it would take at least half a month on foot. Not to mention the rogues, all the tortoises ran away.Yang Menglong, who advocated efficiency, gathered all the horses and camels he could mobilize, mobilized [-] elite soldiers, and turned them all into mounted infantry, with each man riding one, and there were [-] camels to spare.The two hundred camels were used to carry food and grass, and each camel carried [-] jin of supplies, and they were able to walk very fast. This once again proved that Yang Menglong still had a vision. He spent so much money to buy back so many camels, not to take Come and see!

This troop can be described as extremely fast, traveling [-] miles a day, and arrived in Nanyang in only three days. After replenishing some food and grass in Nanyang, they rushed to Xixia County without stopping. It was really as fast as lightning, which was jaw-dropping.Yang Menglong, Xue Siming, and Xu Gong even mingled with the scouts and ran all the way, far away from the army, and arrived in Xixia County in just six days.

At this time, there was smoke and fire everywhere in Xixia County. A large number of people panicked and fled to the county with the help of the elderly and the young. Some relatively powerful clans spent money to arm the young and strong and defend themselves against the wall. Large groups of bandits roamed the countryside, plundering everything they could eat, or laying siege to Wubao, leaving a good place in a state of chaos.When Yang Menglong passed a village, he found that not even a single mouse was left in the village. They were all eaten up.He ran into the house to take a rest, and found that the damn gangsters had even torn the tables and chairs into pieces, and even the pots, basins and other items had been swept away.He couldn't help but curse: "What a fool! These bandits are more ruthless than locusts!"

Xue Siming sighed: "They were all forced... Shaanxi has experienced severe droughts every year, and they are all poor, hungry, and crazy. Naturally, they grab everything they see!"

Xu Gong said: "I often hear the old man say that if Shaanxi is in chaos, the Central Plains will be in chaos, and if the Central Plains are in chaos, the world will also be in chaos. Now Shaanxi is already in great chaos, and the Central Plains may not be able to settle down. This is just a prelude. "

Yang Menglong curled his lips and said, "Just kidding, do you think Shaanxi's name 'The Origin of China' is just for fun?"

In fact, if Shaanxi is in chaos, the world will be in chaos, and there is a basis for it.Shaanxi is a strategically important place connecting North China, Southwest China and Northwest China. It is a solid barrier for the Chinese nation to resist nomads and a springboard for attacking the Central Plains and Bashu. Its gains and losses are directly related to the survival of the Central Dynasty.Once Shaanxi falls into the enemy's hands and the army goes out of Wuguan, it can advance to the Nanyang Basin and penetrate directly into the Central Plains; in the direction of Puban, it can attack the southwestern part of Shanxi; In the direction of Guguan, it is possible to occupy the Sanchuan River Valley in Luoyang, without the danger of Weihan.This is the most favorable situation for contending for supremacy in the world.This kind of posture is like a huge bow drawn towards the Central Plains, its potential energy is beyond words.Qin, Han, Sui, and Tang all followed this model to complete the great unification, and these are precisely the four most powerful dynasties in Chinese history; Shaanxi was hit hard by this, and the Song Dynasty, which was the most prosperous in the world, never revived. It changed from a central dynasty to a small court in a peaceful corner; In the end, it was declared dead... It can be said that once Shaanxi is lost, the central dynasty can basically be sentenced to death, and the only suspense is when the execution will be executed.

It seemed that the village had been completely destroyed, and there was nothing left to use. Yang Menglong had no choice but to eat some dry food hastily, and then continued to advance towards the county.As a scout, he must be at the forefront of the army. He also wants to know what is going on in Xixia County.

As they were walking, the official road was billowing with smoke and dust. Before the scouts could overreact, a brigade of rogues would occasionally rush in, blocking the official road!Xu Gong was shocked and shouted: "Protect your lord!" The scouts wanted to draw their swords to fight if they could, but Yang Menglong stopped them.Yang Menglong held the rogues who were rolling in with great interest, and saw that most of them were holding a sharpened wooden stick, or a dung fork, and those who carried a rake were considered weapons of mass destruction. Even such a weapon dares to come to his territory to make trouble, really don't know how to write the dead word!Looking at the emaciated women and children following the bandits, he swallowed the order to attack.The rogues also looked at the team of scouts curiously, as if they were looking at a monster.No way, the Wuyang Guard's equipment is not quite the same as that of the Ming army. The black fringe on the oval helmet flutters in the wind, and the black armor looks simple and solid. It doesn't look like the Ming army at all.They looked at the scouts curiously, as if they were looking at monsters.After a while, someone called: "Brothers across the street, which battalion head are you from?" Naturally, the language was in Shaanxi dialect, which was really difficult to understand.

Yang Menglong gestured to Zhong Ning and said, "Call back, ask which battalion head they are from."

Zhong Ning understood, and immediately called out, "Which camp leader are you from?"

The bandits on the opposite side shouted: "We are the subordinates of King Chuang Taotian! Judging from your accent, you should be from Yulin, right?"

Zhong Ning said, "That's right, I'm from Yulin! From your accent, I should be from Qishan, right?"

The bandit said happily, "Brother, have you ever been to Mount Qi?"

Zhong Ning said: "I've been there, Qishan Shoko Noodles are a must! Why did you come to Henan?"

The bandit sighed: "There is no way out, either drought or locust plague, crops are not harvested, taxes are getting heavier, and the government is getting more and more ruthless, everyone can't survive, so they have to flee famine everywhere, and live every day. "

Zhong Ning also sighed: "Yeah, it's not easy to survive these days... How is it here?"

The bandit still sighed: "It's not that bad, Henan is also very poor... Tens of thousands of people rushed over, and those who walked in front looted all the food that could be eaten, and those of us who walked behind dug the ground three feet, I couldn't get anything edible, so I got some grass seeds by digging out the field mouse's nest, and I was half full. Now the army is preparing to besiege the county seat. If the county seat can be taken down, I can still eat a few full meals If we can’t beat the rice, we will starve to death.”

Yang Menglong called: "Looting the village and besieging the county will kill people, so you are not afraid at all?"

The rogue was silent for a long time before he said helplessly, "I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, but...we're hungry!"

The sentence "We are hungry" was extremely poignant and pathetic, which made those fierce scouts slowly let go of their weapons.

The man who finally ran into a fellow from Shaanxi didn't know who he had bumped into, and said enthusiastically, "But it's okay, even if we can't beat Xixia, we can still go to Wuyang. The food there A lot, enough for us to binge eat and drink for a while!"

Yang Menglong's expression was a bit strange: "The Wuyang Guards in Wuyang County are very good at fighting. Are you not afraid that they will wipe you out?"

The rogue looked very bachelor: "What are you afraid of? Left and right are dead. If you get there, at least you can eat a few full meals before you die. It's worth it!"

What is a bad life?
What is broken pot broken fall?
Yang Menglong has opened his eyes.

At the same time, he also made the most correct judgment: Wuyangwei will not get any ready-made benefits even if he wins the fight with these gangsters. !This situation is like lending money to a gambler who is so poor that he has only one life left to play cards with you. If you win, you will only win your own money back, and if you lose, you will lose everything.But people have already broken into his jurisdiction, it's okay if you don't fight, if you don't fight, I'll just wait for the whole site to be emptied by them!He smiled wryly and said, "We belong to Wuyang Guard! You...surrender!"

The group of rogues were all stunned for a moment, looking at Yang Menglong stupidly, at a loss.

Dozens of scouts pulled out their horses with a swipe, or raised their strong bows, pointed at these rogues who were still at a loss, and shouted in unison: "Quickly surrender!"

This group of rogues also had hundreds of people, ten times the number of scouts, but they backed away in fear.What's the use of having more people?Take a look at their equipment, and look at their aggressiveness, how many times stronger than their own gang of beggars!Some people wanted to run, but the Wuyang Guard's scouts cooperated tacitly. Before they could escape, they broke up and surrounded them. There was chaos among the gangsters, men scolded, children cried, women Crying and cursing, it was a mess.The leader of the bandits who revealed too much information unconsciously was so frightened that his vocal cords were deformed, and hissed: "Brothers, sisters, these dog officers and soldiers will not give us a way to survive, they insist on forcing us to die! , we fought with them!"

The bandits' voices were shrill and their faces were distorted: "Fight them!" Each raised their ridiculously crude weapons high, formed a circle to protect women and children in the middle, and faced the scouts with their chests puffed out. Although their hands were shaking violently with their strong bows and crossbows, no one left them behind and ran away.The people in the circle are their parents, wives and children. If they run away, their wives, children and children may not survive. No man with any sense of responsibility will do this.There is no choice but to fight to the death.

Zhong Ning frowned and said, "You are not our opponents, you should surrender! We just want to keep the place safe and not kill people, so don't force us!"

The leader of the rogues poked his neck and said, "Do you think we will believe your nonsense? In Shaanxi, that dog official surnamed Hong also said that the surrender would not be killed, or that he would only punish the head of the villain, and never investigate... I am not very familiar with these things. I understand, it's a beautiful statement anyway, but after we surrendered, he immediately killed us all!"

The rogues shouted one after another: "Yes, our Yutian King was killed by Officer Hong after he surrendered!"

"The king of sole mud was also killed by Hong Gouguan after he surrendered, and his death is unclear!"

"Many of Hui Hui's subordinates surrendered and were beheaded by Officer Hong Gou! Hmph, you still want to use this trick to deceive us? Just dream!"

"We would rather be killed by you on the spot than let you deal with us when we surrender! At least in this way we can die more clearly!"

"Everyone is a man, fight if you want, kill if you want, hurry up, and don't play tricks!"

The Hong dog officer that these gangsters hate so much is the famous Hong Chengchou.This gentleman can also be regarded as the No. [-] fierce man. He led a mob composed of servants and servants to suppress the bandits.But he has a very bad habit, that is, he likes to kill and surrender. Almost without exception, he slaughtered the rogues who surrendered to him, which made the rogues hate and fear him, and at the same time greatly weakened the imperial court. Because of its credibility, many rogues no longer believe in the surrender of officers and soldiers. When they are in desperate situation, they would rather fight to the end than surrender.Yang Menglong secretly scolded Hong Chengchou, a bastard, for really harming others and benefiting himself. You killed and surrendered very well, but you drove thousands of rogues to Henan who would rather die than surrender. Isn't this cheating!

Zhong Ning saw that the rogues were furious and restless, and might rush up to fight for their lives at any time, so he couldn't help becoming anxious, and shouted: "My lord, you should think of a way! They are going to come up, they are all honest people, how can our knives cut them so well?" go down!"

Xu Gong was also anxious: "Yes, my lord, quickly think of a way!"

Yang Menglong said calmly: "Ah, ah, I have a way to make them surrender! I have brought a magic weapon. Once this magic weapon is released, no matter how stubborn he is, the rogue will be enlightened, put down the butcher knife, and change his mind. What happened before!"

Zhong Ning and Xu Gong couldn't laugh or cry: "Then you should quickly take out the magic weapon, what time is it!"

Yang Menglong pinched his chin and waved his hand calmly: "Bright magic weapon!"

The scouts showed their magic weapons one after another with a bit of piety and mystery, and in the next second, all the rogues' eyes were straightened!
