Chapter 129 What a pity
Chapter 129: What a pity
After the panic in the first two days, before Li Meng sent troops, many of the rich landlords who had been bargaining dispersed. The Peng family in the ancient city gathered and the Qiu family in Tingkou Town were all famous in Laizhou Prefecture. Although Li Meng was also a local overlord, it was better to look at the beauty of his real skills. After all, the Peng family and the Qiu family were all in Chengye County, Laizhou Prefecture, and there were many people under his command.
If Li Meng won, everything was easy to say, but he couldn't win, and he wouldn't be frightened here. Although the news came from the rich people in Jiaozhou and Jimo and Xiazhuang in Gaomi was so amazing, but everyone had seen the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and that was the only one who was a servant who started his career was stronger. What else could such a salt dealer do?
On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the cavalry of Jiaozhou camp thought of the four prefectures and counties in Pingdu Prefecture, Gaomi, Jiaozhou, Jimo, and the generals stationed in Dengzhou Prefecture, directly pointing to the ancient city of Pengjia and Qiujia in Tingkou Town as bandits, saying that they would send troops to exterminate them.
General Denglai vaguely knew who was behind Li Meng. This time he sent troops and could not lose his strength, and he could share some credit, so he pretended to be stupid and let Li Meng act.
Needless to say, Jiaozhou and Gaomi are far away from these two places, and are under the jurisdiction of Jiaozhou, so they are naturally beating and beating the edge drum. In addition to Yanding, Li Meng did not have many representatives in Pingdu Prefecture. After receiving this official document, Pingdu Prefecture had many clan members and friends from the Qiu family and Peng family in the yamen of Pingdu Prefecture. Usually, these big families also spent a lot of money on it. This is also the common practice of wealthy families everywhere.
Since Pingduzhou is close to these two families, it is necessary to explain that this is a good citizen, so don’t be wronged. Who knew that as soon as the official documents arrived, the victims flocked into the prefectural yamen and cried and complained. The officials close to the Wang family and the Qiu family wanted to order the yamen runners to drive out people, but they did not expect that the yamen runners would not dare to move. When they went out to see, they found out that the newly-launched Salt Owl King Zhuzi was behind.
Wang Zhuzi is also a legend in Pingduzhou. He is just a hawker pushing a cart. However, because he received an invitation from Li Meng, he became a powerful man in Guting Town, Pingduzhou in less than two years, and was ranked alongside the former Qiu family. Of course, the yamen runners dare not mess with such a powerful landlord.
As soon as the magistrate of Pingdu knew about this situation, he simply became "ill". He asked Dianshi to take the case first and then suppress it, and also took Li Meng's documents, using a drag-on character to see the style.
The relatives of the two families knew that things would not be good, so they had to inform their families and let them prepare early. Anyway, according to the news of the person sent by the Kuaima, Li Meng's troops should have set off on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. There was always a preparation for running or fighting at home.
The situation is not like what you want. In Tingkou Town, there is a transit ferry for salt goods entering and leaving the northern part of Laizhou. There are salt diligent guards like Wang Zhuzi who are close to Li Meng. The third son of the Qiu family, Jinqiu, immediately led his men to smash Wang Zhuzi's property on the day his brother came back.
Wang Zhuzi had more than 30 people and fifty salt dicks under him, and of course he was not an opponent. Wang Zhuzi's subordinates dispersed in an instant, but the salt dicks formed a formation to fight to the death. The hundreds of people rushed several times, but they could only defeat the other party, but they did not defeat them.
On the contrary, the third son of Jinqiu was a little discouraged. After all, this was a private fight, so he didn't dare to delay it for too long. After a while, he had to retreat. Wang Zhuzi had time to go to the yamen to make trouble and complain. The Qiu family also had a farm in Guting Town, just like everyone else, and they desperately recruited people and strengthened their defenses. They thought that it would take a day to arrive, but it would take 800 studs, so there would be a lot of them in these four days.
On the afternoon of the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Ma Gang led 400 Yanding to the outside of the Qiu Family's manor along the waterway. Originally, this bag of gold was on the nearby mountain, but even those begging on the street knew that a bunch of gold was in Qiu Family's village at the foot of the mountain.
The Qiu family had never thought about defending. After all, the strong men and the strong men could gather more than 500 people. Otherwise, how could they be called Dahao? Qiu Laosan was used to being rampant in Pingduzhou and was very arrogant. The four hundred salt genies brought by Ma Gang had 300 new men who had been trained for about a month, and only one hundred veterans.
Five hundred vs. four hundred is the advantage of the Qiu family. Moreover, according to the knowledge of the Ming army these people usually have, how can a group of gangsters who cannot even eat enough to eat can compare with the local bandits and brave men in their hometowns, and the Qiu family should have a great victory.
As a result, when the two sides fought, there was no suspense immediately. Ma Gang decided that four hundred salt dips formed a formation to wait for the opponent to attack, and then consumed the opponent's sharpness before fighting back.
The battle situation is so simple that it can't even be called a battle. The Qiu family has really accumulated a lot of things, and they can even mobilize more than a dozen archers to come forward and shoot for a few rounds. However, Ma Gang has ten muskets in his hand, which has long been the first row of wooden forks. The first row of muskets was bombarded. Within fifty steps, the archers knocked over six, and there were three unlucky guys who were patronized by stray bullets.
After the musket was fired, Qiu Laosan could no longer control the team. The so-called strong households in Qiujiazhuang immediately dispersed. The archers still had the courage to continue firing, but they retreated a hundred steps away to pull the bow and shoot the archery. Even ghosts could not shoot at this distance.
With Ma Gang's order, four hundred salt Dings pressed directly. Just because the formation did not push over the situation, more than a hundred people were dispersed around Qiu Laosan. As a result, by the time of the match, there were less than two hundred subordinates left by Qiu Laosan, and the two hundred people were not qualified for the spears.
Yan Ding put a long spear on the side and stabbed it in rows. The basic action of assassination was to make people burst out with the greatest force when stabbing, and then to sting in rows. Anyone who wanted to rush forward was stabbed with several blood holes, which directly led to the account. Qiu Laosan was a little brave, and the wind was waving a Pub in his hand. Unfortunately, even a few spears were stabbed to death.
Starting from the sound of the musket, it was useless for half an hour. He killed more than 60 people, and the rest were all dispersed. With the help of the inside line arranged by Wang Zhuzi, Qiujiazhuang did not even pull up the village gate, and was directly penetrated by Ma Gang. Except for some female relatives in the Qiujia family, the rest of the people did not have time to escape. They were all caught in the jar and held them in a straight line.
