Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 381 Kill the chicken to warn the monkey

Peng Zhu said to himself, "Ah Hong, I'm afraid this matter will end badly."

Peng Hongshu wanted to take this opportunity to test Peng Zhuchao and Ran Sanniang's background, and said, "Azhu, Sanniang, in front of the emperor later, our three chieftains will advance together and retreat together."

Peng Zhuchao frowned and remained silent, as if he was weighing Peng Hongshu's proposal.

But Ran Sanniang said coldly: "Advance and retreat together depends on the situation. If Chieftain Yongshun raises his troops to rebel, is it possible that Chieftain Shi Nan will also follow you to rebel?"

"San Niang, what are you talking about?" Peng Hongshu asked anxiously, "When did I say I want to rebel?"

"That's what I said." Ran Sanniang snorted, "Other things are fine, but if there is a rebellion, our chieftain Shi Nan will never repeat the mistakes of the Hongwu Dynasty."

While they were talking, a cavalry troop drove over. The cavalry in front of them were all wearing armor and helmets with face armor on their heads. They were eight hundred barbarians in front of the imperial court. Then they saw emperor.

I saw the emperor wearing a golden mountain armor and a phoenix-wing helmet on his head, shining in the sunshine, like a god descending from the earth, which made people have the urge to worship.

This was the first time Peng Hongshu and the others saw the emperor after they came to Wuchang.

When I got closer, I realized that the emperor was younger and more heroic than expected.

Ran Sanniang, a pretty widow, looked inexplicably sad, and she didn't know what she thought of.

Chongzhen rode his horse straight to Peng Hongshu and the three of them, his sharp eyes swept over the faces of the three of them, and when he saw Ran Sanniang, he paused for a moment, and asked, "You guys, who is Peng Hongshu?"

Peng Hongshu hurriedly bowed down: "The minister is Peng Hongshu, Yongshun's consolation envoy."

Chongzhen nodded and said: "Envoy Peng Xuanwei, please go in and tell the soldiers of Lara Dongsi and Lvchi Dongsi to disarm them within a quarter of an hour. I will investigate why this matter happened, and I will definitely Give it a fair deal, but if they won't disarm after a quarter of an hour, I'm sorry."

After saying this, Chongzhen said word by word: "It can only be wiped out on the spot!"

Peng Hongpeng's heart shuddered when he heard this, but at the same time he was also a little angry.

Xin said, Majesty, you look down on us so much?The dozen or so chieftains in Yongshun add up to more than [-] local soldiers!

With your thousands of officers and troops, you still want to wipe out the native soldiers of Larak Dongsi and Lvchi Dongsi in front of our more than [-] native soldiers?This is a bit too arrogant, right?
Are you really not afraid that we will rebel in a fit of anger?

But after all, Peng Hongshu has been a chieftain for more than ten years, so he is still a bit of a city.

So Peng Hongshu didn't show his inner thoughts on his face, but just frowned and said: "My lord, it's wrong for the local soldiers of Laja Dongsi and Lvchi Dongsi to provoke trouble, but they are Yongshun Xuanwei after all." According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, if a native soldier breaks the law, it is not under the jurisdiction of the court, but should be under the control of the chieftain."

"It also depends on what kind of law they committed and where they committed it." Chongzhen said coldly, "If they robbed and killed people in the Yongshun Xuanweisi, I will definitely not bother, but now they are outside Wuchang City. They robbed and murdered people, even killed government servants, and even demanded payment from me, if they don’t pay, they will rebel!”

"If I behave like this, if I ignore it, will I still be the emperor?"

Speaking of this meal, Chongzhen stared at Peng Hongshu again and said: "Peng Xuanwei, you should know that Yongshun Xuanwei is not your Peng family's independent kingdom, but the territory of Ming Dynasty!"

What Chongzhen said was reasonable and well-founded.

Peng Hongpeng couldn't find words to refute for a while.

But he, Peng Hongshu, would not give up so easily: "Your Majesty, the soldiers of Lara Dongsi and Lvchi Dongsi should be handed over to the minister, and the minister will definitely give the victims a fair explanation."

"Consolation envoy Peng Xuan!" Chongzhen's face completely collapsed.

"I'm not discussing with you, this is my will!"

Accompanied by Chongzhen's cold snort, the sound of trumpets and drums suddenly sounded continuously around the Dajiao Field.

Peng Hongshu, Peng Zhuchao, Ran Sanniang, and the more than [-] local soldiers who had assembled hurriedly looked around, and saw billowing smoke and dust billowing from the field around the university field.

Immediately afterwards, the dark and dark Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers rushed towards the Dajiao field from all directions. Peng Hongshu originally wanted to observe visually, but found that it was impossible to visually observe.

Because there are all officers and soldiers in sight in all directions.

In such a situation, Peng Hongshu did not dare to stand up.

It's not that the emperor is afraid of the officials and the army. If there is a fight, it's still unknown who will die, but Peng Hongshu obviously doesn't want to go to war with the officials, at least for now.

Because this bitch Ran Sanniang will definitely help the court.

And Peng Zhu's attitude towards this old fox was also ambiguous.

Peng Hongshu could only choose to be soft: "I will go in and persuade you now."

At the moment, Peng Hongshu entered the encirclement with his personal entourage and the passage made aside by the officers and soldiers.

I saw that the two thousand native soldiers of Lara Dongsi and Lvchi Dongsi had formed a circular formation back to back.

The two chieftains, Tian Shichao and Xiang Yongshun, were also forced to temporarily abandon their prejudices and face the enemy side by side.

Although they were surrounded by thousands of officers and soldiers, Tian Shichao and Xiang Yongshun were not really worried. Today's Daming is no longer the Ming Dynasty of Hongwu Year and Yongle Year.

What's more, it is the Ming court who is asking for chieftain Yongshun.

If they offended them, the Emperor Ming would not even try to pacify Yunnan.

Therefore, they never believed that the officers and soldiers dared to use force against them.

What's more, even if they use force, they don't fear the officers and soldiers at all.

The native soldiers in Xiangxi are all brave and good at fighting, and the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty want to compete with them with a fire stick?dream!In a real fight, they would be able to overwhelm the officers and soldiers with little effort.

That is to say, because the dog emperor gave money and food, the two didn't do anything.

But even so, the two of them gradually couldn't hold back their anger.

Just when the two of them could not bear it anymore, Peng Hongshu walked into the encirclement with a dark face.

"Master Chieftain." Facing Chieftain Peng Hongshu, Tian Shichao and Xiang Yongshun did not dare to trust him.

"You two are really good." Peng Hongshu scolded with a dark face, "Are you trying to rebel?"

"Master Chieftain, we cannot be blamed for this matter." Tian Shichao explained, "It was the officers and soldiers who surrounded us first."

"Okay, I don't have time to listen to the nonsense of you two." Peng Hongshu said, "Hurry up and ask your clansmen to put down their weapons, and then line up to be dealt with by the emperor."

"What? Put down your weapon?" Xiang Yongshun shouted, "How did this happen?"

Tian Shichao also yelled: "Our native soldiers of Larak Dongsi will never lay down their weapons as long as they are alive. The Emperor Dog wants us to lay down our weapons unless we are killed."

"You think he doesn't dare?" Peng Hongshu stomped his feet anxiously.

"Do you know that the emperor has dispatched hundreds of thousands of officers and troops!"

"So what about the hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers." Tian Shichao said proudly, "One warrior of Lara Dongsi can defeat a hundred officials, and a thousand warriors can defeat a hundred thousand officials of the Ming Dynasty, so let them come here. "

"Yes, let the officers and soldiers come here." It was rare for Xiang Yongshun to reach an agreement with Tian Shichao.

"You! You two!" Peng Hongshu was so anxious that he could hold his shit out. Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, he could only stomp his feet and said, "Then you two can just do it yourself."

Peng Hongshu hurried away with a pale face.

Xiang Yongshun and Tian Shichao still didn't take it to heart.

They didn't believe it at all, the Ming army really had the guts to fight them.

And they didn't believe that Peng Hongshu would really let go.

However, the cruel reality soon taught them a blood lesson.

Not long after Peng Hongshu left, the Daming officers and soldiers surrounding them suddenly dispersed and retreated a few hundred steps away to guard. Only about [-] officers and soldiers were left in a line formation.

There are three rows in front and back, each row has about two hundred officers and soldiers.

Seeing this, Xiang Yongshun and Tian Shichao immediately changed their formation.

The two faced each other and formed a square formation, with ten rows in front and back, and two hundred soldiers in each row.

At this time, due to the transformation of the formations of the two sides, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers from Yongshun Chieftain, Baojing Chieftain, and Shinan Chieftain can clearly see the situation in the middle of the Dajiao Field.

Chieftains such as Peng Hongshu, Peng Zhuchao, and Ran Sanniang were a little confused.

What's the situation?Why did most of the officers and soldiers withdraw, leaving only five or six hundred people?

Could it be that the official army wanted to use this mere five or six hundred people to wipe out the two thousand soldiers of Lara Dongsi and Lvchi Dongsi?This is too crazy, right?Just look down on us soldiers like that?

Especially Peng Hongshu sneered in his heart.

……

Chongzhen looked at the two thousand soldiers of Lara Dongsi and Lvchi Dongsi with a cold face, without the slightest pity in his heart.

Maybe these two thousand soldiers were innocent, maybe they were just bewitched by their chieftain, but so what?A man can do something and not do something, and today I will use your heads to stand up!

As Xu Yingwei said, native soldiers have always been afraid of power but not virtuous.

If you can't show these native soldiers the majesty of the Ming Dynasty's officers and soldiers, these native soldiers will cause trouble sooner or later.

So instead of coming to the Yunnan battlefield to wipe their ass in the future, it is better to give these soldiers a warning before they go to war, so that they can figure out who is the host and who is the guest?
Turning his gaze, Chongzhen looked at Peng Hongshu, Peng Zhuchao, Ran Sanniang and more than [-] chieftains, big and small.

Didn't these big and small chieftains also want to use this opportunity to see how much the Ming Dynasty's army has?That being the case, there is nothing to be polite about.

Chongzhen said: "Peng Xuanwei envoy, I will only use [-] new troops to deal with the [-] native soldiers of Lare Dongsi and Lvchi Dongsi, lest you say that the official army bullies the few because of the number of people."

Peng Hongshu said: "Your Majesty, if Lara Dongsi and Luchi Dongsi win this battle..."

"I promise not to ask any more questions, but if they are defeated or even wiped out by the new army, don't blame me for being cruel." After finishing speaking, Chongzhen waved at the new army.

Before the formation of the new army, Xu Yingwei immediately shouted: "First row, let go!"

The first row of new troops decisively pulled the trigger, and immediately there was a sound of firing guns on the field of the colonel.

After the sound of gunfire, gunpowder smoke filled the air, and looking at the opposite side thirty steps away, more than half of the two hundred soldiers standing in the first row had fallen down, and only a dozen or so people were still standing.

The native soldier seemed to be stunned by the sudden blow, and was at a loss for a while.

However, the new army was not affected at all, just following the usual training, the new army in the second row quickly advanced one after another, and then pulled the trigger of the flintlock against the phalanx of the soldiers.

There was another intensive bang, bang, and another whole row of soldiers fell down.

At this time, the native soldiers finally reacted, and immediately charged the new army.

However, this was futile at all. After a few steps, the soldiers in the third row came up and pulled the trigger again, followed by the first row and the second row...

When it was the fourth round, there was not a single soldier standing on the opposite side.

The [-] soldiers of Lara Dongsi and Lvchi Dongsi had all been lying on the ground.

When the gunpowder smoke that filled the middle of the Dajiao field cleared, Peng Hongshu, Peng Zhuchao, Ran Sanniang and more than [-] chieftains, big and small, looked dumbfounded, as did the soldiers standing in the front row of the queue.

Only the unseen soldiers in the rear were anxiously asking their companions, what happened?

But the soldiers in front were completely stunned and forgot to respond to them.

Because when the gunpowder smoke cleared in the colonel's field, they were surprised to find that the [-] soldiers of Lara Dongsi and Lvchi Dongsi had all fallen to the ground, while the [-] Ming officers on the opposite side were unscathed!

Such a result made them unable to believe their eyes, how could it be possible?

The pinnacle of the Ming army is Qi Shaobao's Zhe soldiers, but Qi Shaobao's Zhe soldiers are only [-] to [-] away from their native soldiers in western Hunan and Hubei, but this Ming army officer in front of them can crush their native soldiers in western Hunan and Hubei?
Chongzhen was not surprised by such a result, it was not the result that was surprising.

A group of native soldiers in tattered clothes with Miao swords, without armor or even bows and arrows, how could they fight against the new army equipped with cloth face armor and flintlock guns?Isn't this just queuing up and shooting?
The local soldiers of Lara Dongsi and Lvchi Dongsi really cooperated.

They actually lined up in ten horizontal lines, and then stepped forward to be shot one by one.

But at this point, the intention of killing chickens and monkeys has been achieved, so there is no need to kill them all.

Chongzhen immediately ordered the new army to come forward to treat the wounded, and then rode up to Peng Hongshu, Peng Zhuchao, Ran Sanniang and more than [-] chieftains, big and small, and said solemnly: "Every chieftain, please wait a moment."

Soon, Xu Yingwei led the new army and escorted two bloody men forward.

"My Majesty." Xu Yingwei said, "Tian Shichao, chieftain of Lara Cave, and Xiang Yongshun, chieftain of Lvchi Cave, have been captured."

Chongzhen's eyes fell on Tian Shichao and Xiang Yongshun. Because these two guys were wearing mountain armor, and they were also wearing mountain armor with a heart mirror, they were lucky enough to recover a dog's life.

Because the lead bullet hit the chest shield and deflected.

"Tian Shichao, Xiang Yongshun!" Chongzhen shouted, "Why did you two bring the soldiers under your command to make a fuss? Is it because I didn't pay you enough? Or didn't I give you enough rice?"

Tian Shichao and Xiang Yongshun bowed their heads and remained silent.

Peng Hongshu and the others were only shocked by the head-to-head confrontation just now.

But Tian Shichao and Xiang Yongshun had their backs broken directly.

Once all the strong men in the clan were killed or injured, the two chieftains were already finished.
