I am one year older than Chongzhen

Chapter 271

That fool was taken in by Liu Jindong at the beginning, when he was still the chief banner officer of the frontier army.

At that time, the stupid man with big arms, round waist, Kong Wuyouli was a swordsman in a caravan, because he was hit on the head with a sap in a fight and became stupid.

Later, I couldn't find the caravan wandering in Datong Town for some reason.

Because Liu Jindong was ordered to arrest beggars and refugees to make up for Shangguan's point of view, so he was arrested in the army.

Later, of course, it was Liu Jindong who found out that the fool could fight and resist, so he stayed by his side to serve as a soldier. Now five or six years have passed, and his feelings have developed.

He kowtowed like pounding garlic, and begged: "My lord, don't hit me anymore, if you hit me again, you will be broken! Don't be so stubborn, you idiot! Hurry up and give in!"

At this moment, Huang Yi's posture is similar to that of an American policeman kneeling down to kill black buddies, but the idiot who was being held down didn't say: I can't breathe, but yelled: "I won't accept it if I beat him to death!"

At this time, the scarred face started to scold, and he spat and said: "He obviously won the fight alone, and you are left with a stubborn mouth! Hurry up and convince yourself, or the brothers will join forces and promise to let you Can't eat!"

It seems that Scar has done this kind of thing before, that idiot has been tossed about, and when he heard that there might be no food to eat, the idiot immediately shouted: "I'm convinced!"

Ersun Zaqin, Yu Shaoshan and others cheered, "Your Excellency is mighty! The Xinghe Army is mighty!"

All the cavalry soldiers shouted in unison: "Mighty! Mighty! Mighty!"

Liu Jindong suddenly had the illusion of being dazzled, as if he had returned to the frontier barracks.

I think he was also a good man back then, he often fought against the Tartars, and made many military exploits. He was promoted from a big soldier to a captain, then to a small banner, and finally to the general banner.

However, since entering the year of Chongzhen, the treatment of the frontier army has become worse and worse, and the soldiers complained one by one.

Finally, on the winter night of the second year of Chongzhen, under the condition of being hungry and frequently transferred, it broke out.

Impulse is the devil!In that mutiny, dozens of senior officers were killed by the rebels.

As a result, he, a former grassroots officer of the frontier army, was reduced to a horse bandit, unable to return home, and unable to enter the ancestral grave after death.

Whenever Liu Jindong thinks of the past, he regrets the past. He hates those civil servants who don't treat soldiers as human beings, and hates the superiors who drink the blood of soldiers.

Seeing such a vigorous Xinghe army today, I can't help but yearn for it.

"Surrender to avoid death. Those who have performed meritorious service will be recruited into the Xinghe Army. Now you have the opportunity to make meritorious service. You must seize it!"

Liu Jindong, whose thoughts were in confusion, suddenly heard the voice, collected himself, and looked over. The speaker was facing the sun, as if a god covered in Buddha's light was enlightening him.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Liu Jindong knocked his head to the ground, and hurriedly said: "My lord, the little one wants to be your subordinate, and the little one wants to make meritorious service!"

"Tell me about your situation!"

"Xiao was originally from Datong, Shanxi Province. Tianqi joined the army for three years, and Yuan Wu's army mutinied when he served as king in the second year of Chongzhen. He had no choice but to become a bandit..."

"Well, I don't pursue your past, I only look at the present and the future."

"Thank you, my lord, for your forgiveness!"

"You are the second leader of Xue Mazi's gang of bandits, you should know how to destroy the gang with the least casualties!"

"The little ones are willing to be the pioneers!"

Liu Jindong's surrender had a lot of benefits. It only took half a day for Xinghe soldiers to take down several checkpoints of Xue Mazi's gang without bloodshed and appeared directly outside the gate of the cottage!

At this time, the Xinghe army had already captured Xue Mazi's group of forty or fifty young adults.

Liu Jindong, Scar, Er Lengzi and others originally planned to trick Xue Mazi into opening the gate of the village.

It's a pity that the old gangster has a keen sense of smell and has sensed the danger long ago. The gate of the village has always been a confidant, and Xue Mazi has to visit it several times a day.

Liu Jindong's tricks of defrauding the city were easily seen through, and he simply shouted to persuade him to surrender.

However, Xue Mazi is a master who does not shed tears when he sees the coffin. He has no regard for the support of the people, and he is ready to rely on the strong stronghold to resist.

The Xinghe Army began to attack the fortifications when persuading them to surrender failed, and the first thing was of course shelling.

The 24 regiment guns fired only one salvo from [-] paces away, and the will of Xue Mazi's gang to resist collapsed.

Infighting ensued.

The five masters, the seventh masters, etc. are also from the frontier army. I hope they can be exonerated and return home in their lifetime.

They intended to capture Xue Mazi for meritorious service, and fought Xue Mazi, the third master and their twenty or so confidants!

The interior of the village was a mess, except for the seven or eight minions who were killed by shelling, the rest did not dare to stay on the wall.

The Xinghe Army without a ladder adopted the method of throwing a lasso to climb with bare hands.

It was dangerous to do this. In order to reduce casualties, Huang Yi personally picked up the loaded Minigun and aimed it at the top of the wall.

Zhang Dong, Bao Zhide and other musketeers who can shoot accurately, and the sixty archers who use steel-armed pulley bows and pulley crossbows are always ready.

However, Huang Yi's worries were superfluous, the bandits' village was in a melee, and there was no one to direct the defense.

In a short time, more than a dozen warriors who were originally mountain people climbed up the wall of the village.

Next, of course, the villages were opened, and the Xinghe army swarmed in...

The Ming army always reported military merits with the first-level nuclear report, and the Xinghe Army was no exception. However, the Xinghe Army was obviously different from other Ming armies, and they would never kill the good and pretend to be meritorious.

In this battle, thieves below Xue Mazi were level 86, more than 8 shi of grain were seized, and the value of gold and silver treasures seized was not less than [-] taels of silver.

The total number of Xue Mazi's gang is close to [-], and there are only [-] shi of food in storage, which will definitely not last until after next autumn.

Xue Mazi also treated them differently. Only the elite young and middle-aged people could eat enough, and the young women and children of the minions basically only had porridge twice a day.

Huang Yi issued an order to let the past go, and selected young and middle-aged men with 360 combat skills and decent riding skills from Xue Mazi's gang to serve as auxiliary soldiers.

Liu Jindong, Scar, Er Lengzi and other 24 young and middle-aged men who are skilled in bow and horse were specially approved to become Xinghe Army soldiers.

Conceding the bet, the second fool was left in the guards to pour the chamber pot, but he had no complaints, because as a soldier in the Xinghe Army, he could not eat meat every day, but he could still eat it every other day.

The main purpose of Huang Yi's suppression of bandits is to make money and food.

The umbrella of Xue Mazi's gang was in trouble.

The chief eunuch Wang Kun almost cried with excitement.

For more than half a month, Wang Kun, Diao Debao, and Li Laifu have been marching and doing odd jobs every day, sleeping later than dogs and waking up earlier than chickens.

The three of them wore mandarin duck battle jackets, ate miscellaneous grain pancakes, and drank mushy soup. They couldn't eat four taels of meat for three days.

Suddenly, Wang Kun received the task of personally arresting and interrogating the seven big landlords and squires who were involved in bandits, and put on the python robe bestowed by the emperor again.

Huang Yi told Wang Kunming that the Xinghe Army had wiped out a group of giant bandits entrenched in Jinzhong, and discovered several big families colluding with the giant bandits.

Next, Wang Kun led Jinyiwei and Xingheying soldiers to search the house and arrest people!
It is still in line with the consistent principle of wanting money but not dying!
Wang Kun was asked to try the case of gangsters clearly, and make it an iron case and play it to the court.
