Chapter 284 Officers and Soldiers Are Fiercer than Tigers (1)
The county magistrate of Peng County was dreaming sweet dreams with his concubine in his arms, when he was suddenly awakened by a loud noise. Before he could react to what was going on, he was dragged out of the bed.
Guan Tai glanced at the shivering beauty on the bed, and scolded: "Mom, I'm a bastard, I'm still a bachelor at twenty-six, you're an old man, you're lucky." , looked about sixteen or seventeen years old.
Seeing this, the county magistrate hurriedly said: "If the strong man likes it, just take it away, and I just ask the strong man to spare my life." He didn't have such a big face to reason with these robbers.
The beauty on the bed fainted from fright after hearing this.
Guan Tai turned his head disdainfully, and said to the people beside him, "Take him down." He was not interested in the beauties on the bed, but he was still very interested in the gold, silver and jewelry in the room.
It took two hours to ransack the county magistrate's house upside down. Looking at the boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, Guan Tai couldn't help cursing: "Damn it, damn it..." A county magistrate's annual salary is only a few hundred taels, but this county magistrate has so much wealth. Where did all this come from? It must be obtained by searching for the fat and anointing of the people.
That night, Yunqing sent 5,000 people to copy all the officials and most of the wealthy businessmen in Peng County, only a few survived. The small part was not missed, but Yunqing deliberately let it go. Because this very small part is a family with a good reputation for doing good deeds.
Not long after dawn, Du Zheng walked in and said, "General, General Yuan is back." Yuan Ying was the one who led the team to ransack the house this time.
Yuan Ying walked in and said: "General, according to the list you gave, we have checked everything. This is the list after the check." There are too many things to save time, so he will not read them.
The wealth of these families searched, the magistrate Peng's, is not that much. The real rich are these rich merchants in the city. Among them, more than 200,000 taels of silver were confiscated from the secret room of the largest wealthy merchant in Peng County, and there were countless jewelry and antique calligraphy and paintings.
Yun Qing picked up the list and glanced at it quickly, and said: "When you search next time, remember to put away the books and pen and ink. When the matter is settled, these books will be sent to Yucheng." The pen and ink are fine, and these books are all It is a very precious thing. Qingming is pitifully small, and the only few hundred copies are all hand-copied.
Yuan Ying quickly nodded and said: "I didn't think carefully this time, I must pay attention next time." He only thought about valuable things such as gold, silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings. comprehensive.
Yun Qing thought of this because Yuxi sometimes said that there were too few books in the school, so she needed to send someone to Fucheng to buy more books and put them in the school.
Yuan Ying said: "General, the county magistrate and the county magistrate have been killed. We must choose a suitable person to take charge, otherwise Peng County will be in chaos." They are not robbers who rob and run. This Peng County will also be their territory in the future, so it must be managed well.
Yun Qing nodded and said: "I know this well." Half a year is enough for his people to find out the situation in each state and county. He has a rough idea of who should be killed and who can be used. This is also Yunqing's temperament, and he must make full preparations before going to war. Although he has been hesitating whether to rebel or not, there is no shortage of preparations that should be made. Of course, it is also now that the emperor is incompetent, the court is corrupt, and the northwest is in chaos again. Otherwise, with his actions, the court would have been convicted of treason.
Although Yunqing went on a killing spree, cleaning up the county magistrate and the county magistrate and other officials who corrupted and raped the common people, as well as the wealthy businessmen who helped the evildoers, but he did not disturb the people. The 30,000 soldiers and horses they brought did not disturb the people. Therefore, when the common people knew that officials such as the magistrate and magistrate had been killed, they were not only not afraid, but applauded.
The army continued to move forward, while Yunqing stayed in Peng County for a day. He selected a well-known and capable person to act as the county magistrate of Peng County, and appointed several squires who were good in all aspects to replace the county magistrate.
Take care of the things in Peng County,
Yun Qing left without haste. With Yun Qing like this, it doesn't look like a rebellion at all, but like an imperial envoy sent by the imperial court to rectify local government affairs.
Three days later, the army marched to Linzhou. The Linzhou garrison looked at the black army and was so frightened that they almost died of fright. When he found out that it was the Northwest Army, not the barbarians from the North, he immediately opened the gate without saying a word.
The gatekeepers are not fools either, in such a dark place, let alone resisting, each of the opponent's feet will trample them to death. Those who know current affairs are heroes, so let's surrender quickly!
The soldiers guarding the city thought so, and the officials in Linzhou City naturally knew what choice to make. Unfortunately, Yunqing didn't buy it. For these officials, as long as they commit crimes, those who should be inspected should be inspected, and those who should be sent to prison will be sent to prison without any hesitation.
After all, Linzhou is the capital of the state, and the homes of most of the officials and wealthy businessmen were confiscated, and gold and silver were piled up into mountains. Not to mention the others, even Yun Qing was stunned for a moment. Excluding those antique calligraphy and paintings, there are more than six million gold and silver alone. This is just Linzhou. If it goes to Lanzhou, the provincial capital, it will cost twice as much. It was only then that Yun Qing knew why the rebel army was able to expand rapidly and robbed so much money, so naturally they quickly expanded their team.
Guan Tai said excitedly: "General, how much gold and silver will we get when we copy those officials, wealthy merchants in Haocheng?" Thinking about it, Guan Tai's eyes glowed green.
Yuan Ying swallowed a few saliva at the mountain of silver just now. But he is better than Guan Tai, and he is still stable: "General, how do you deal with so much gold and silver?"
Yun Qing said: "With this money, the arrears of military pay and pensions have been settled. Others, buy weapons and equipment for the soldiers, and buy some horses..." Anyway, what was lacking before must be made up this time. up.
Yuan Ying was a little speechless. According to the general's calculations, the pile of money in front of him was not enough. However, the army's weapons and equipment should be replaced. Just because the weapons were not ready and the horses were not good, I don't know how many soldiers died in vain: "General, there should be some left!"
Yun Qing thought for a while and said: "Isn't the government's Ku Yin not moving? There is Ku Yin, so there is no need to leave it for them."
The corner of Yuan Ying's mouth twitched. The treasury silver in the treasury of the government office was only tens of thousands of taels of silver. This amount of money is not enough for a state capital. But after thinking about it, he felt that this matter should be handled by the acting magistrate of Linzhou, so he didn't worry about it.
After staying in Linzhou for two days, Yunqing was on the road again. Every time I go to a county, the first thing I do is to search the homes of officials and wealthy businessmen. As far as Yunqing's behavior is concerned, he is no different from bandits and thieves. It's just that those bandits only dared to rob businessmen and ordinary people who passed by, but Yun Qing and his subordinates robbed those officials and wealthy businessmen.
Including the five days on the road, it took Yunqing a total of thirteen days to reach Wucheng and join Feng Dajun. Along the way, whether it was a county or a state, the soldiers guarding the city gates either ran away or turned their heads when they saw them in the dark. It went so smoothly that Yuan Ying felt that they were not rebelling, but sending troops to suppress the rebellion.
Seeing Yunqing, Feng Dajun and Yu Cong were excited and happy: "General, you are finally here." If he doesn't come again, his gray hair will come out.
Yun Qing asked, "How is the situation in Nancheng?"
Feng Dajun said: "We are still in a stalemate." If you want Feng Dajun to say, Ji Xuan is a waste. If it were them, they would have an army of 30,000, and they would wipe out the rebels in Nancheng in less than three days.
Wucheng has been leveled by Feng Dajun and Yu Cong, so there is no need for Yunqing to do anything. Yun Qing said: "The Chinese New Year will be in seven days, let's celebrate the Chinese New Year in Lanzhou this year!"
Feng Dajun laughed loudly and said, "General, for the Chinese New Year this year, the soldiers must eat meat and drink heavily." With money in his pocket, he also has confidence.
Yun Qing glanced at Feng Dajun: "It's okay to eat meat, but drink too much." Marching and fighting, how can you drink too much. Drink up to two sips of Dao Shao to warm up your body.
After talking and laughing, Feng Dajun spread out the map he had drawn, and said to Yunqing: "General, this is the map from Lanzhou to Haocheng."
Several people got together to discuss the next battle, and this discussion lasted most of the night. After the conversation, the cook brought over supper.
Feng Dajun asked Yun Qing while eating: "General, I heard that Madam was assassinated by an assassin? How is Madam now?" This emperor is really capable enough to dare to assassinate Madam. Madam is the darling of the General. To assassinate Madam is to force the General to rebel! But thanks to the emperor's move, the temperament of the general of his family was also stimulated by this incident, otherwise he didn't know that the Year of the Monkey had made up his mind. I think he came out in the middle of the year, and finally waited for half a year for the general to make up his mind to rebel. If the general doesn't come, he has to go back to Yucheng.
Yun Qingzhi said: "Madam is fine, but Liu'er is too weak..." Yu Xi was out of danger, so he was not too worried. What worries him the most is Liu'er, Liu'er's body, he is very worried that he won't be able to support this daughter.
After hearing this, Feng Dajun said: "Don't worry too much, General. When we occupy the city of Hao, we will go to find a famous doctor. I believe that the second girl will be cured."
Yun Qing shook his head and said: "Liu'er is born with a deficiency, she can only recuperate slowly in this situation." Even if Liu'er survives, it is estimated that her health will not recover in the future.
Seeing this, Feng Dajun didn't know how to comfort him.
While sleeping, Feng Dajun and Yu Cong talked about this matter: "I was a little regretful that Madam gave birth to a girl before, but now it seems that it is better to have a girl." If it is a son, so weak, how will he inherit the general in the future? mantle.
After hearing this, Yu Cong immediately said: "Whether having children or having children is the general's housework, you don't want to get involved in it." After saying this, Yu Cong said quickly: "I tell you, you Don't give the general a woman. If you let Madam know, then you will feel better." Feng Dajun is not a person who wrongs himself, he took two concubines during his stay in Wucheng. Later, he planned to send a **** to Yu Cong, but Yu Cong refused.
Feng Dajun laughed and said, "The general wants beauties, so I don't need me to send them." After the general occupied the entire northwest, some beauties threw themselves into his arms, so he didn't need to spend such effort. As for whether the general wants these beauties, it depends on whether the general is determined enough. R8
