The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 653

A young man heard that he was going to capture Zuo Liangyu, and said happily: "More than half of Zuo Zongbing's troops don't ride horses. They don't walk fast. The general will definitely succeed."

Li Xihan said: "The folks told each other that any folks who have been harmed by Zuo Liangyu's tribe can write a complaint, and the king of Qiongya County will definitely make the decision for everyone."

Seeing that the common people were half-believing, Li Xihan didn't explain, he knew that as long as Zuo Liangyu was caught, the common people would fully believe him, and now the top priority is to catch the thief general.

After Hong Chengchou replaced Chen Qiyu as governor of the five provinces, he began to organize the siege, which was very effective. In just a few months, he drove the main force of many bandits to Henan, and civil uprisings in many places subsided.

The following process should be similar, often the rogues are cornered and surrounded, and then they surrender.

Hong Chengchou is not a good stubble, he has a nickname "Hong Shatou", once beheaded row after row of rogues who put down their weapons, and he was merciless.If the bones of the thieves who surrendered fall into his hands, it will be self-defeating.

At this time, Hong Chengchou was furious, no, no, fury is not an appropriate description, it should be considered fury, because half a month ago, the rogues had the audacity to destroy Fengyang, the capital of Zhongdu, and dug the grave of the old Zhu family's ancestors.

Ever since the emperor's ancestral grave was dug up, everyone from Hong Chengchou to junior military officers was in panic, lest the court would take advantage of this incident.

Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces responsible for suppressing bandits, could not escape the blame. He even wrote a suicide note, and he was waiting for the imperial edict to question his crimes, and waiting for Caishikou to kill him.

But what Hong Chengchou saw was the emperor's sinful edict. Chongzhen publicly stated that it was his responsibility that the imperial mausoleum was burned, and that the civil upheavals occurred everywhere. responsibility.

Hong Chengchou was moved to tears, the emperor treated him like this, of course he would repay him with death, the governors of the five provinces issued a death order, and whoever was in charge of the defense area escaped the bandits would be beheaded directly and would not be tolerated.

Of course, if the ancestral graves were dug up, Chongzhen would not be able to explain it if he didn't kill a few officials in frontiers.

Governor of Water Transport, Governor of Fengyang Zuodu Yushi Yang Yipeng, and Yushi Wu Zhenying were out of luck. They became scapegoats and were arrested and sent to prison for interrogation.

Hong Chengchou summoned the generals, generals, and guerrillas from all walks of life to come to Bozhou to discuss the gathering of bandits.

Where is Zuo Liangyu?At this moment, he was being locked in a dog cage by Li Xihan and flaunted across the city all the way to the hinterland of Henan.

When Zuo Liangyu was arrested, he couldn't just be killed with a single knife. This would have little educational value. He had to accept the people's criticism for a few months, and he had to make him feel bad for three miles.

Li Xihan not only captured Zuo Liangyu, but also captured his son Zuo Menggeng and a dozen confidant generals and stuffed them into a dog cage.

Zuo Liangyu looks majestic, but it's a pity that he is not worth mentioning in front of Huang's private soldiers. Fifty miles east of Bozhou, Li Xihan led [-] cavalry to catch up with Zuo Liangyu's troops. thousand.

Li Xihan's cavalry is not the main cavalry of the Huang family at all, only the more than [-] officers who are used intensively. Most of the others are cavalry recruited and trained in Henan, Huguang, Shaanxi, and Shanxi for less than a year.

However, the [-] knights in bright armor all had all-steel breastplates and double-barreled short guns, and the "God of War" banners fluttered in the wind. They rushed directly into Zuo Liangyu's team, and no one dared to resist. .

Zuo Liangyu's bandit soldiers looked dumbfounded, watching helplessly as the "God of War" troops surrounded their general.

Zu Kuan took the lead and shouted loudly: "I am ordered by the king of Qiongya County to arrest Zuo Liangyu for questioning. I have nothing to do with all the soldiers. I will give you a moment to throw away your weapons and kneel down to avoid death."

Li Xihan's team surrounded Zuo Liangyu's central army. In fact, they were also surrounded by Zuo Liangyu's troops, but no one in the four or five thousand people outside was willing to stand up for the general. The first reaction was to throw away their weapons and kneel down. roadside.

This is not surprising. Historical experience tells us that the combat effectiveness of any army that wantonly massacres ordinary people is not worth mentioning.

Zuo Liangyu's [-] armored soldiers did not disarm, but hurriedly lined up to surround Zuo Liangyu in the middle. When they were attacked suddenly, Zuo Liangyu turned pale with fright, and felt at ease when he saw the "God of War" banner clearly.

He thought, he had never provoked the "God of War" troops, and he had never offended King Qiongya at all, this must be a misunderstanding.

Zuo Liangyu yelled and asked: "Is the imperial court arresting this official to question the crime? What is the imperial decree?"

Zu Kuan shouted loudly: "Zuo Liangyu, don't be ignorant of good and evil, what imperial decree do you want from you, I am following the order of the King of Qiongya County."

Zuo Liangyu was dizzy, and asked suspiciously: "What right does the King of Qiongya have to take me? Ah? So you are Zu Kuan, when did you follow the King of Qiongya?"

Zuo Liangyu was surprised when he recognized Zu Kuanda.

Li Xihan rode out more and more, squinting at Zuo Liangyu's personal troops lined up, thinking that there are only 500 people in his heart, it's nothing to worry about.

He ignored Zuo Liangyu at all, came fifty steps away, raised his right hand holding the flintlock gun and shouted loudly: "I will count to three, if you don't put down your weapon, you will be punished without pardon for treason."

"One, two, three!" Zuo Liangyu's soldiers did not put down their weapons, Li Xihan lowered his big hands, "Bah, bang, bang..." There was a burst of gunshots, and more than a hundred soldiers fell down immediately.

The itchy sharpshooter Li Xihan also fired a shot with one hand, hitting a Zuo Liangyu's personal soldier Baizong between the eyebrows, of course that kid died very simply.

The smoke filled the air, and the "God of War" troops on the opposite side were all wearing visors so they couldn't see their faces, and the steel all over them looked even more ruthless.

"We surrender." Seeing that the "God of War" was serious and dared to kill in public, these soldiers who usually flaunt their might were persuaded and began to beg for surrender. Zuo Liangyu is also a master who does not suffer immediate losses, knowing that if he resists stubbornly, he will be shot dead on the spot Immediately admit defeat.

He was still lucky, thinking that the "God of War" troops would not do anything to him, at most he would be escorted to the capital for questioning. When he saw Zu Kuan, he recalled reflexively that this was how Zu Dashou, the prince of the chief military officer, handled it in this way.

Zuo Liangyu thought that he was not collaborating with the enemy at all, at most he just took advantage of it and did not work hard when suppressing bandits, what's the big deal, most of the generals did this, the emperor probably wouldn't want his life.

Later, he regretted it too late, thinking that he should not choose to surrender, but should choose to run away, because the Huang family horses did not escort him to the capital at all, but went across the state to let the common people expose his numerous crimes.

The thief general committed a heinous crime, and the crimes recorded in the blood-red handprints were shocking.
