The Han army launched three routes, and the rebels along the route all disappeared and collapsed at once. ◎, in front of the elite army of the Han Dynasty, these so-called royal army composed of gentry and merchants and their servants were no match for the king.

Although Zheng Zhilong, the general of the Western Expedition, was a dragon on the sea in the past, he was also fierce when he arrived on land. The two armies led by him came out of Juyong, passed Xuanhua, pacified Datong, and settled Taiyuan, and went south all the way.

When Li Zicheng heard the news, he couldn't sit still anymore and gathered the civil and military officials of the Luoyang court in the palace.

"It is difficult to stick to the four battles in Luoyang. It is easy to defend the four barriers in Guanzhong. I want to be the best place in the west and start the journey in three days."

After hearing this, the chief assistant Lu Weiqi immediately opposed it, "Shaanxi has been famine for many years, and has been chaotic for a long time, and has been in ruins and decay. Now that he has given up Luoyang, he is afraid that the world will be alarmed and the hearts of serving Wang Yijun in various places will be turbulent. The hearts of the people in the world that the court finally gathered together are afraid that they will shake again. He also hopes that he will believe in the Duke and think deeply."

Li Zicheng sneered a few times, "I'm not here to discuss with you, but to notify you that this matter has been decided and cannot be changed. Your Majesty also agreed. Of course, if you don't want to leave, I won't force it."

"How can this be done before the battle?" Several officials spoke out against it. These officials were basically locals in Luoyang, and their family business was all in Luoyang, so they were reluctant to leave.

"There is a danger of Wuhan in Xi'an. There is no Liu Han rebellion army in the pass, so it can connect with Bahan and Shuzhong. His Majesty's Duke Luo Rucai, who was named a member of Han and Shuzhong, was in Hanzhong area. When I arrived in Guanzhong, I happened to summon the Duke of Han to come to serve the king. If we can open up the road with Yunnan and Guizhou, then the rebels from all over the Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi can also come to serve the king."

After saying that, he ignored the officials in the court and left on his own.

After returning to the military camp, Niu Jinxing said to Li Zicheng, "Lu Huiqi and others are all large tribes in Henan, and their ancestral tombs, land and property are all in Henan, so they will not be willing to leave. Maybe they will kill all those who refuse to leave and confiscate their homes. They can not only obtain a large amount of military money and food, but also shock these corrupt scholars. Then no one dares to object to the move of the capital."

Luoyang is a prosperous town in the Central Plains with a population of hundreds of thousands.

There are countless wealthy families among them.

Li Zicheng immediately ordered an investigation into the secret communication of Liu's traitor party.

In just two days, thousands of wealthy families in Luoyang who were unwilling to move out were listed as Counter-party members, all of them were executed and searched, and gold, silver, money, silk and silk were obtained in the town for more than 30 million taels.

For a moment, people in Luoyang were panicked, and Lu Weiqi and other "officials" changed color. When Li Zicheng sent someone to urge them to pack their luggage and prepare to travel west, no one in each family dared to hesitate anymore.

If Li Zicheng hadn't wanted these officials to decorate the store, they would have killed them this time.

Li Zicheng snatched it up, but was not satisfied. He ordered all the people in Luoyang to be taken away and prepared to set fire to Luoyang.

Gantry.

Zhang Shan’s camp is now located here. After hearing the report from the intelligence staff, Zhang Shan finally couldn’t help it.

"Damn it, the thief seeks death."

"Master. Nowadays, many big families in the city regret it and should not have been involved in scamming with tigers. After contacting and rebelling by agents, many people in Luoyang City are willing to be our supporters."

"Are there any generals of the rebellious army?"

"Yes, several generals and deputy generals in the pseudo-court of Luoyang are willing to do so anyway."

Zhang Shan asked in detail and found that these deputy generals were not people from the rebel army, but local generals in Luoyang who had retired from the court. After Luoyang established the court, they all served as deputy generals of the general. They originally wanted to be the result of the success of following the dragon, but the rebels in various places were destroyed one after another, and Li Zicheng's arrogance and domineering made them even more dissatisfied.

These people have no moral integrity at all. They were rebelling excitedly before, but in a blink of an eye, they wanted to do anything.

"We can't let the thief burn Luoyang, let alone let him run away. Now that there are internal supporters in the city, we don't have to wait any longer. Just go into the city."

Cai Yuan shouted loudly, he brought troops to Henan to suppress the bandits. He had been suppressing the bandits for more than half a year, but it was still the case. He was very annoyed and now he had the opportunity. Of course he would not miss it.

"Okay, fuck it." Zhang Shan punched the table and made a final decision.

Although the rebel army had not yet evacuated, Luoyang City was already in chaos. At first, Li Zicheng still chose some merchants to confiscate their homes, but soon lost discipline. The rebel army robbed everywhere, lured their wives and daughters, and seized people's food. Even the soldiers of the rebel army in Luoyang, which were rioted and robbed in groups.

If the family is not a big official in the court, it will be difficult to escape.

Many scholars from Luoyang who had happily supported Zhu Changxun as emperor were stunned this time. The soldiers in the court didn't care about so many, and they would rob them when they had the opportunity. If there were not enough servants, they would only have to be robbed.

As for those stores, they even smashed them.

Regarding this out-of-control situation, Lu Weiqi and others cried to Zhu Changxun. Zhu Changxun sent someone to issue an order to Li Zicheng to restrain his soldiers, but Li Zicheng was too lazy to pay attention to it.

In fact, at the beginning of the robbery, it was difficult for him, the King of Breaking, to control the situation easily. Only when the soldiers robbed the full amount and robbed enough, they could restrain them.

Until this time, many people finally understood.

The bandits are bandits, and they are really trying to get along with them. After awakening, they began to actively seek a way out. After that period of fanaticism, they calmed down and thought carefully, and finally saw the situation clearly. There was no chance in the Ming Dynasty.

The past few days, there were uprisings everywhere, and that was just a reflection of the whole world.

The world is finally made by swords.

Zhang Shan and Cai Yuan had a lot of troops. Before, it was because of various reasons that they had not attacked Luoyang. Now, Zhang Shan didn't want to wait for Zheng Zhilong's Western Army anymore, so he couldn't wait.

Letting Li Zicheng support Zhu Changxun and proclaim himself emperor is already a big stain on him. If Li Zicheng burns Luoyang again, wouldn’t he become a sinner for the ages?

No matter what, you have to rescue it.

Zheng Zhilong is still far away in Taiyuan and cannot save this near fire.

Fortunately, although the rebel army has been recruiting soldiers and horses recently, their strength is not as strong as that of Zhang Shan's troops. Moreover, Li Zicheng's rebellious actions have finally angered the gentry and merchants in Luoyang City.

With an insider, it is not difficult to take down Luoyang.

The order had been issued, and the Han army camp at Longmen immediately became busy.

Liu Yong was standing in the military camp at this time and immediately felt the familiar smell coming back. It had been a while since he returned to his hometown and officially took office as the militia captain in the town. He also received the contract for the 100 acres of land awarded to him by the emperor.

These hundred acres of land are all good irrigated land, not afraid of drought or flooding. They were originally the land of King Fu, but now King Fu rebelled and hid in Luoyang City. His royal villages were naturally confiscated by the government and became official property. Some of the land offered for the donation could be collected as long as the original owner paid a tax. Some of the land was taken back to the rewarded meritorious people of the new dynasty.

Although there is no privilege and privilege for one hundred acres of good land, there are no extra taxes and fire consumption, and the tax is actually not high. Even if the new dynasty adjusted the land tax a little higher than the past land tax, there were also many extra taxes. Overall, the tax on the land was not much and the burden was not heavy.

After the summer harvest, all 100 acres of land were handed over to Liu Yong.

Liu Yong actually has relatives in his hometown, although he has been away for ten years. He is actually the eldest son of the family. It is just because his mother died early and his father rekindled. In the past, the family was poor and had many younger siblings. Therefore, when he gets older, he goes out to make a living.

In recent years, he has sent money home, but his family still has to rely on the fields to cultivate.

Liu Yong came back, took his official position and suddenly had 100 acres of land. The whole family was very happy. Even his stepmother was very polite to Liu Yongdu.

Liu Yong simply handed over these lands to his father and a few half-brothers to take care of, and he himself took office as the militia captain.

The militia captain seems to be a idle position, but in fact it is still relatively important. It is not like a militia, but it is a training camp in idle time. The militia captain must be from a regular army, and is generally a veteran. They are responsible for managing militias, training militias, assisting in the collection of private taxes, suppressing bandits and quelling rebellions, etc.

Of course, one of the most important responsibilities of militiamen is that when war occurs in the local area, they must assist in defending the city or transporting materials.

At this time, Liu Yong brought his hundred militias to the Longmen Army camp to transport artillery and food for the Han army.

"Captain, the officers and soldiers are so mighty."

"That's natural, otherwise how could it be won in every battle?" Liu Yong said to his militia with pride.

Although it was for transportation, Liu Yong's team still carried weapons. Their equipment was relatively simple, and a hundred people were all wearing unified militia uniforms. Their uniforms were not the blue and red colors of the official army, but the grass green.

One person was wearing a grass green military robe, a cloth belt, a wide-brimmed felt hat, a pair of cloth shoes, a dry food bag, and a backpack.

Their weapons are also relatively simple. Liu Yong is equipped with a hand gun and a waist knife. Most of the remaining ones are equipped with spears, another team of musketeers, an archers, and a team of swords and shields.

None of them have horses, but most of them are young people in their twenties and thirties.

Militia is not a formal profession. Usually they are farmers, craftsmen, etc. from their hometown, and they are trained only during the slack season. Liu Yong's militia team has more than one hundred people. In fact, there are many people who are incorporated into militia, with a total of six hundred people, but they are divided into six groups, each group takes two months to take turns.

There is no food and salary in normal times, but during training, they are equipped with food and accommodation, and there are training subsidies. Therefore, everyone is still willing to be a militia. After all, they are idle in the slack season.

If they receive orders to transport military supplies now, they will also have another subsidy, which will cost 20 cents a day, and they can earn one in five days. If the war is won, they will also have another reward.

"Captain, do you think we can join the battle when we arrive in Luoyang?" a young man asked with anticipation.
