[Chapter 462] It’s simply ridiculous!

(0462)

【Today's third update is delivered!】

Jingluwei is located in the southernmost part of Ningxia Town. It is closely adjacent to the Yellow River and has sufficient water to irrigate. Most areas are plains, and a large amount of arable land can be reclaimed. As for grasslands that can be grazed, there are more. To be relaxed, this place is also part of the Hetao Plain. Therefore, since history, it has been an important grain production area and animal husbandry production area, especially in the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, the Jinglu Guard does not fall under the jurisdiction of Ningxia Town, nor does it belong to the jurisdiction of Guyuan Town, but is directly under the management of the Shaanxi Commander Command. It can be seen that the senior officials of Shaanxi attach importance to this area. However, after the defenders of Guyuan Town retreated, the White-clothed Army occupied the place without hesitation. The Vulture Cavalry Army has been active here. Some Ningxia people even came here to occupy arable land, build houses, and prepare to start a new life.

One day at the end of August, in the afternoon, the sky was gray. In the Jinjiatai area of ​​Jinglu Guard, the atmosphere was a little tense, and the cavalry of the white-clothed army was constantly flying. Their horse hooves splashed in waves of dust on the field. The dust splashed and was soon blown away by the north wind. These active white-clothed cavalrymen were wearing blue uniforms, equally blue caps, and dark red belts, all of whom were soldiers of the Vulture Cavalry.

Jinjiatai was originally just a small stronghold, with only about 300 people stationed. The surroundings of this place are plains and there is no danger to defend. If the Tatars' cavalry were killed all the way from the north, there would be no chance of stopping them. Therefore, the number of Ming troops stationed here was very small, and they were basically sent here to be cannon fodder. However, after the White Army occupied this place, it became the command center and logistics center of the Vulture Cavalry.

Today, there are a large number of people around Jinjiatai. On the walls of Jinjiatai, there are all Vulture Cavalry soldiers who are holding muskets in both hands and waiting for battle. Around Jinjiatai, there are large groups of Ming soldiers. They are all asked to hold their heads in their hands and squat on the ground and not move. The officers, soldiers and family members are divided and detained in different areas. Around these Ming army, there are more Vulture Cavalry soldiers sitting upright on horseback to monitor.

The Ming army who were imprisoned together escaped from Gansu Town. The Vulture Cavalry discovered their whereabouts while monitoring the direction of Gansu Town. At the beginning, there were some conflicts between the two sides, but as a result, the Vulture Cavalry attacked them all. Then, the Vulture Cavalry soldiers took advantage of the cavalry's advantages to surrounded them from different directions. Soon, they all became prisoners of the Vulture Cavalry soldiers and were taken back to the vicinity of Jinjiatai.

At this moment, Zhang Yi, the commander of the Vulture Cavalry, was nervously waiting for Xu Xingxia's arrival at the intersection northeast of Jinjiatai. So many official troops fell into his hands, and he really didn't know what to do. Obviously, killing it is not possible, it is too cruel. However, it is not possible to let it go. If they are released, they may be enemies of the White Army again.

"Da da da da!"

Zhang Yi waited for a long time, and then from the direction of Dalachi Fort, a team of white-clothed cavalry came in a winding manner. The blue uniform and black military cap were the hunting cavalry hunting troops responsible for surrounding Xu Xingxia's safety. It should be Xu Xingxia who came. Sure enough, the hunting cavalry soldiers gradually stopped advancing, and a figure appeared in front. It was Xu Xingxia who came.

"grown ups!"

Zhang Yi and others hurried forward, turned over and dismounted, stood attentively and saluted.

"How is the situation?"

After Xu Xingxia returned the gift, she asked with concern.

"There are more than 13,000 people in total, all of which have been disarmed. I have already disarmed all their soldiers and officers. Some of their families have also separated. Now, they have no weapons in their hands." Zhang Yi said briefly.

"Okay! You did a good job!" Xu Xingxia nodded in admiration.

After pondering for a moment, Xu Xingxia said again: "Which commander is their?"

Zhang Yi shook his head and said, "I don't know. The three guerrilla generals with the highest official positions are, but they all said that they are not commanders, they bumped into each other occasionally."

Xu Xingxia frowned and said a little strangely: "Did they escape in a swarm? They were captured by you tens of thousands of people? Even a group of pigs could not catch so many! Are they retreating in an organized manner or running away in a mess?"

Zhang Yi said: "It should be a messy escape. When we met them, they were just a mess, without any organization or command. Once we rushed, they all herded sheep. Maybe they didn't know that this place had been occupied by us, and they thought that passing through this place was the jurisdiction of Guyuan Town, but the result was..."

Xu Xingxia nodded, waved her hand, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go! Let's go to Jinjiatai!"

It was quite a long way from the intersection to Jinjiatai, and even if it was riding a horse, it took two or three hours. When Zhang Yi brought Xu Xingxia to Jinjiatai, it was already dark. At the end of August, there was a hint of chill at night. Tens of thousands of Ming army prisoners were all scattered in the wild, so they naturally felt a hint of chill. Fortunately, the food and water of the White Army were still enough, and they could keep the cold with enough food.

"Bring the three guerrillas up!" Xu Xingxia entered Jinjiatai, ate some food, filled her stomach, and drank a little hot water, and then got to the point.

Zhang Yi turned around and went. Soon, the three captured guerrilla generals were taken to Xu Xingxia. Before, after interrogation, they learned the names of the three people, namely Dong Daqi, Zhang Haowu, and Zhao Zhenglong. Their official positions were all guerrilla generals, and they were all guarding various places. When they learned the arrival of the Tartars, they gave up their city and fled in panic.

Xu Xingxia glanced at the three people without any concealment. As a guerrilla general, when the Tartars arrived, he did not want to actively fight and defend their country, but turned around and ran away. Xu Xingxia naturally looked down on such a leader. If he hadn't wanted to find out some information, he would simply order them to be pushed out of the wall. No, beheading. Shooting would also waste a Minnie bullet! He said coldly: "I am Xu Xingxia!"

The three guerrilla generals were slightly shocked. Of course, they were not unfamiliar with the name Xu Xingxia, especially after Li Maohui and Li Guozhen fled to Gansu Town. A small military household actually pulled up a powerful team. Not only did they repeatedly defeat the Tartars, but they also drove away the dignified governor and general officer. Even the princes in the vassal state were mercilessly driven away. How could they not know about such a move?

Unexpectedly, Xu Xingxia would appear here. For a moment, they all felt a little frightened and uneasy in their hearts. There was no way, Xu Xingxia's nickname was really a bit scared, that was the old demon Xu! That was the big devil who killed people without blinking. Now, Xu Xingxia is already a thief with a title on his forehead, and the number one in the name of Tianzi plotted against him. What would happen if they were the official troops affiliated with the court fell into the hands of the thief?

Xu Xingxia said coldly: "I really want to know what happened in Gansu Town! Who can tell me what happened in Gansu Town? Why do you have tens of thousands of troops, the main cities have cannons, and there is no shortage of ammunition! They can't stop the three-day attack of the Tartars, and they all fall! Who can tell me what's going on?"

The three guerrilla generals still bowed their heads and were speechless. They all felt Xu Xingxia's anger. Yes, it was indeed anger. In fact, Xu Xingxia was indeed a little angry about losing Gansu Town! These official troops in Gansu Town are really pig heads! There are a lot of troops, ammunition, high walls, and cannons. As a result, they couldn't stop Mo Rigen's attack. Mo Rigen did not even have necessary weapons to siege the city, and took the entire Gansu Town in less than three days. Such a record is simply incredible! Even 30,000 pigs guarding Gansu Town, they did not fail so quickly!

Seeing that the three guys were silent, Xu Xingxia became more and more angry. He had the urge to ask people to come in immediately and pull them out to death. These bastards were more cruel than the other in terms of corruption and corruption, and they were all good at consuming empty wages and drinking soldiers' blood. As a result, when they met the Tartars, they all became fucking impotence.

I really don’t know what the court raises these guys for. Even if they raise tens of thousands of pigs, they can give everyone a full meal during the Chinese New Year! Finally, I resisted the urge to pull them out and die. Xu Xingxia said coldly: “Where are you stationed? Say one by one!”

The three guerrilla generals still did not answer.

They are actually not fools, they are very aware of their crimes.

No matter which dynasty is placed in, it will be severely punished. Otherwise, what effect will the military law have? If the three of them return to Guyuan Town smoothly, they may be executed. Gansu Town is lost. If such a serious matter is not killed, what is the face of the court? In addition to Liu Fengxi, who is the general officer, there are probably a large number of officers below who are going to be killed. Obviously, they are among them.

However, when they fell into Xu Xingxia's hands, their fate was changed. If they were executed, they could cover up their crimes. If they died in Xu Xingxia's hands, the court would definitely commend them, and their families would naturally be safe and sound. Of course, the best result was to surrender to Xu Xingxia and follow Xu Xingxia to rebel. However, when they felt Xu Xingxia's anger, they knew that this road would not work. Xu Xingxia would definitely not want them.

Xu Xingxia said coldly: "What? I don't want to speak? A dead pig is not afraid of hot water scalding? Okay! Let me tell you! I, Xu Xingxia, are not a thief now, but the general of the three towns! I just need a command, not only will your head fall, but your family will all want their heads to fall! No matter where you are from the Ming Dynasty!"

The three of them were shocked, and they raised their heads at Xu Xingxia in surprise. Xu Xingxia's words greatly shocked them. For a moment, they didn't know how to react. How did Xu Xingxia's words be true, then they would be all finished. Not only would people die, but their family be confiscated, but they would also be forever harbored a stigma! No matter from any angle, this is the worst and worst result! What they least want to see!

Xu Xingxia smiled coldly and continued to say shamelessly: "The three-sided governor Huang Kezhang has ordered to appease the military households in Ningxia Town. I am not a thief, but a hero of the country! I have learned about the conspiracy between Li Maohui and Li Guozhen in the morning, so I have firmly risen to fight with them! In the past, the court thought that he was a thief out of misunderstanding! Now, the misunderstanding is eliminated and the truth is revealed! I am a great hero of the country!"

After a slight pause, Xu Xingxia continued to say with great enthusiasm: "I, Xu Xingxia, will be the generals of Ningxia Town, Gansu Town, and Yansui Town! You all belong to my jurisdiction! You wastes, think that dying in my hands, can hide your sins? Dreaming! If you still don't say anything, I'm not polite! Not only are you going to die, but your family will also die, and your nine tribes will be killed!"

The three guerrilla generals looked at me, and I looked at you, with a look of horror on their faces, and there was no blood on their faces. They had already believed Xu Xingxia's words a little. Because, if Xu Xingxia was really a thief, she would ignore them at all and just kill them. What is the death of a little person these days? What is the death of three guerrilla generals?

Dong Daqi couldn't help but say, "General Xu, we are really unfair! Losing the city and land is definitely not our original intention! It's just that the Tartars are powerful, and with our little force and equipment, they can't defend them at all! That's right, we did run away. We ran away because we were afraid of death. If we don't run, we will really die!"

Xu Xingxia said coldly: "You are wronged? Okay, I will give you a chance. Explain how you are wronged? If you are afraid of death, don't join the army, don't join the army! Don't you know? Since you are afraid of death, what kind of soldiers are you? Are you still right to escape?"

Dong Daqi said helplessly: "General Xu, I never thought of joining the army, but our father is a military household. Can I have a chance to choose? Well, I won't say that. I am responsible for stationing Zhuanglangwei. Yes, Zhuanglangwei does have thousands of people and more than 30 cannons. If there is no accident, I will not be afraid of the arrival of ordinary Tartars. However, before the war begins, Liu Fengxi..."

Xu Xingxia said coldly: "What Liu Fengxi? Liu Thief!"

Dong Daqi hurriedly changed his words and said, "Yes, it's Liu Zhe! Before the war came, Liu Zhe ordered the transfer of all the artillery of Zhuanglang Guard, saying that it would be concentrated in Ganzhou City. He also transferred all 1,000 soldiers. The remaining were only some military households of the guards. General Xu, the situation in our Gansu Town is so bad that you may not know. Anyway, the Zhuanglang Guard under my jurisdiction has less than 500 combat troops. Three thousand Tartars came to attack. Can I stop these 500 people? I can't stop it, so I can only run away!"

Xu Xingxia frowned and said, "What do you mean, Liu Zhe knew that Mo Rigen was coming long ago? So, I guess all the artillery of your Zhuang Langwei will be transferred?"

Dong Daqi said helplessly: "I dare not say that. However, this matter is indeed very strange. I have never dismantled the cannon before."

Zhang Haowu interjected and said, "General Xu, the Liangzhou Guard I am in charge of stationed in Liangzhou. This is the case. All the artillery in our city have been transferred away, and no one is left."

Zhao Zhenglong also interjected and said, "Yes, the Xining Guard I stationed in is the same. Our artillery was also transferred away by Liu Zhe. If there were thirty artillery pieces, they could withstand for a while! Without artillery pieces, how could we resist the Tartars' bows and arrows?"

Xu Xingxia stared at the three of them coldly without saying a word. Subconsciously, he felt that these three guys were not lying. Perhaps, Liu Fengxi had really transferred all the cannons. As for why Liu Fengxi had transferred all the cannons, it was unknown. As the general officer of Gansu Town, Liu Fengxi issued such an order without discussing with anyone. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration in his mind, Xu Xingxia asked: "Will Liu Zhe transfer your cannons be before Li Maohui and Li Guozhen arrive, or after they arrive?"

Dong Daqi said: "Of course it was after the arrival! It was transferred not long ago!"

Xu Xingxia nodded thoughtfully. He seemed to have noticed Liu Fengxi's intention. Obviously, if it was just to prevent the Tartars from moving south, such an order would be absurd. It must be for internal reasons. He must have been dragged into the water by Li Maohui and Li Guozhen, joined the Mujian Society, or obtained the benefits of Mujian Society from other channels, and decided to cooperate with Mujian Society to relocate the artillery from various cities. It was a very important link.

The main foundation of Mujianshe is in Ningxia Town. Li Guozhen has been in operation for nearly ten years, and all the preparations should be almost done. As a result, unfortunately, he was destroyed by Xu Xingxia and had to go to Gansu Town to start a business. It is conceivable that in a hurry, if Mujianshe resumes, there will definitely be some castles that are unwilling to follow. If there was not enough time to do work before, who would be willing to follow you to rebel?

For safety reasons, Liu Fengxi ordered the removal of the cannons from these castles, just to facilitate the rebels to quickly set off from Ganzhou City during the uprising and capture these castles without artillery. If these castles refused to follow up, they did not expect that Mo Rigen came instead of the uprising of the castle, and he happened to pick a hot fried pile with cold hands.

The more Xu Xingxia thought about it, the more he felt that the truth should be like this. The guys in front of him were indeed implicated by misfortune. Of course, this cannot alleviate their guilt. Without cannons, they cannot defend the city? It is ridiculous! He said coldly: "Okay, I will continue to investigate this matter! Now, I want to counterattack Gansu Town! Do you have any good suggestions?"
