"Master, what should we do now?"
"It's okay, I haven't fallen down yet. Let's go, follow me to Zhangjia Village on the north bank. We will stay dormant for a while. The officers and soldiers are all from the north. They will leave sooner or later. I don't believe they Guanzhong people can stay here in Dongting Lake for a long time. Inside." Zhang Shisan said confidently. The reason why he had escaped many encirclements and suppressions by the army during the Sui Dynasty was because most of the soldiers in the imperial court were from the north, and it was difficult for them to adapt to the environment in Dongting Lake.
Epidemics and acclimatization are common occurrences. Under normal circumstances, the court would have to transfer them if they could not stay for a year and a half. When they leave, it's time for Zhang Shisan to make a comeback. Cunning Rabbit Three Cave, Zhangjiacun is Zhang Shisan¡¯s hometown. However, Zhang Shisan has never told anyone else that he has already left a way out for himself here.
Just when Zhang Shisan was rushing to Zhangjiacun, his younger brother Zhang Shiqi was sitting in Yunhao's boat with all his hair tied up. More than two thousand water bandits were captured with him.
These water bandits are the confidants of the Zhang family brothers. When chaos breaks out. They all followed the Zhang brothers, but unexpectedly the battle turned into chaos. However, chaos is chaos. Zhang Shisan has been traversing Dongting Lake for many years. There are few water bandits who don't know him. At the critical moment, Mr. Zhang Shisan had an explosion of inspiration. He hid his face and changed into the shaobao clothes, grabbed him among the human wall of guards, and slipped away secretly.
Zhang Shiqi discovered that his elder brother was missing, and led the water bandits to search for him. After searching for a long time, no one was found but more than two thousand people died. In desperation, he could only lead the remaining soldiers to retreat.
As soon as he returned to his water village, he was blocked by Li Wenzhong. Zhang Shiqi had experienced the power of gunpowder weapons, while Li Wenzhong only fired a few rounds of gunpowder crossbows. Zhang Shiqi immediately realized the current situation and surrendered!
"How can you treat a hero of the imperial court like this? Master Zhang, you have been wronged." Zhang Qiqi was brought to Yun Hao. Zhang Qiqi, who was about to be stabbed, suddenly heard Yun Hao's words and couldn't help but be startled. When he looked at Yunhao, Yunhao had already come to him and personally helped him untie the rope.
Zhang Shiqi was speechless in a daze. At this time, he was extremely glad that he had not cursed out just now. If he had just opened his mouth to curse, he would have been thrown into the lake to feed the fish by now.
"This battle has greatly damaged the vitality of the water bandits, and Mr. Zhang has contributed a lot to it. I will definitely petition the court to reward your two brothers. I haven't found your eldest brother now. When he is found, you will all live in Yueyang City. Don't live in this water village and suffer anymore!" Yun Hao motioned to his soldiers to help Zhang Shiqi up and politely asked him to sit opposite him. This made Zhang Shiqi so flattered that he jumped up like a frightened donkey.
"Thank you, Marshal, for remembering our brothers. My brothers suffered heavy casualties in this battle. I don't know whether my eldest brother is alive or dead!" Thinking of the horror of this battle, Zhang Qi couldn't help crying.
"Mr. Zhang, there is no need to be excited. The leader of Zhang Village has his own destiny, and nothing will happen to him. Your brothers will also go to Yueyang together. Our guild will send people to treat the injured ones." Yunhao pulled Zhang Shi enthusiastically. Qi sat down, with a good attitude. Ling Jing, Wang Zhe and others next to them didn't believe that this was the lonely Duke of the State last night.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Guo! From now on, the lives of our brothers will belong to Mr. Guo, no matter what happens on the mountain of swords or in the sea of ??fire. In this life, we will never have anything to say to Mr. Ding!" Zhang Shiqi never expected that he would be a chopping block today. Yunhao could still treat him this way even though he was a piece of meat.
You know, they are not big bosses with tens of thousands of troops now. More than two thousand of his remaining soldiers were defeated, and the water stronghold was also taken away. If Yunhao didn't take them in, it would be a problem for these two thousand people to eat.
Now Zhang Qiqi regrets why he doubted the authenticity of Yun Hao's surrender in the first place. The losses in this battle were too heavy! Looking at the water village being demolished, I think about the scenery of the past. Zhang Shiqi burst into tears!
The water stronghold was dismantled by the soldiers in an orderly manner, just like Boss Ma. This water village was also built on a small island, and the dismantled wood was piled on the island. The armed water bandits watched from the boat as the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty demolished their homes. Fortunately, their parents, wives, and children were all placed in the open space to sit. Since people have nothing to do, no one makes any noise. The scene was eerily quiet!
It is not easy to build a water village, but it is very easy to dismantle it. As long as the iron wood as a support is cut off, a large piece of the city wall can be dismantled. If you pull them to the shore again, it will be considered a living together.
Although he worked quickly, Li Wenzhong was still not satisfied. He came up with a simpler and more violent method, tying gunpowder to the iron wood. After a shocking roar, the iron wood that could not be chopped by the sharp ax for a long time was immediately broken into two pieces. Even the huge wall next to it was blown up.
When Zhang Shiqi was about to surrender, many tough guys still complained in their hearts. It's just a hindrance to Er Dang.I have twenty loads of millet and two bolts of silk. The deceased will be rewarded ten thousand dollars and twenty acres of land. The family is exempted from taxes and corvee for five years.
??Looking at Yunhao again, not only does he win the battle, he will also be rewarded. Those who were disabled on the battlefield could receive 20 guan of rice and food every year, and the deceased could receive 100 guan of money. Moreover, the family can also receive rice from the Yun family every month. Do you think that the Yun family's wealth and wealth have been siphoning money home? Where did all the money go? "
"Enterment comes from the highest point. Yunhao's kindness is to win people's hearts." When Li Chengqian heard this, he immediately exploded. This country belongs to his Li family. Even if he wants to buy people's hearts, the Li family has to invite him to buy it. Why is Yunhao a duke?
"My prince, His Majesty's Holy Mingzhuzhao sees thousands of miles. Do you think the court will not know that Yun Hao is doing this so loudly? Will Your Majesty not know about it? Not to mention Your Majesty, even Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and others will not know. They can be regarded as first-class people. Are they also confused?" Li Daoyan's series of questions made Li Chengqian stunned and didn't know how to answer.
Dad is like a giant dragon, controlling everything in the world. Baiqisi is all-pervasive, and it is indeed very difficult to hide the affairs of the Tang Dynasty from him. Could it be said that dad tacitly approved of all this?
"Uncle Ninth! Please clarify my nephew's doubts!" ??Li Chengqian is a good boy, and a good boy will ask questions about things he doesn't understand.
"Hey! It's not that the court doesn't want to do this, it's that the court has no money. What do you think is going on with the water bandits in Dongting Lake? Although there were lake bandits during the Wude years, there were definitely not so many. It's not for the grassland. This war was caused by an increase in taxes. It was not so much the result of a mob gathering to rebel, but rather the official forcing the people to rebel.
No money! But the world is not peaceful, and there are Turks making trouble in the north. What about domestically? There are also Feng An in the southeast and Liao people in the southwest. What about the Northeast? Liaodong is still occupied by Goryeo. Although the northwest is now at peace, it is still being swept away by Li Jihou Junji and his like with large armies. Surrounded by powerful enemies and internal unrest, what could Datang do without an army capable of fighting. "
"So the father acquiesced in Yunhao using his own money to support the soldiers?" Li Chengqian suddenly realized.
"Yes! How could the Tang Dynasty not have soldiers to fight! Think about it, from the time the Emperor raised his troops, Yun Hao led the troops, and these soldiers eventually became the cornerstone of Zuowuwei. In the matter of Xuanwumen, Zuowuwei also The credit is great. Over the years, they have conquered the east and the west, conquered the south and the north, and have already become the most powerful army in the Tang Dynasty.
Your Majesty is not unaware of the disasters that will come if this powerful army is in the hands of one person. But there is no way, things can only happen step by step. Fortunately, Yunhao had no intention of controlling Zuo Wuwei. In recent years, except for one Master Sheng Yan. The officers of Zuowuwei were at the mercy of the imperial court.
Every year, the imperial court would transfer some officers from Zuowuwei. Then some fell in from other guards. Although General Zuo Wuwei has always been Master Sheng Yan, the officers have changed several times. This is also your father, just in case. Yun Hao has never expressed any objection, so your father can rest assured that the Yun family can control Zuo Wuwei. "After telling Li Chengqian so much, we also arrived at Yueyang Pier.
Yunhao stood on the dock with the officers of Zuowuwei, and Li Wenzhong led the navy ships to escort Li Chengqian on both sides. The fleet sailed into the Yueyang City Pier in a mighty manner. Suddenly, gongs and drums were blaring, firecrackers were blasting, and colorful flags were fluttering. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
