The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 820 Kill Liu Zongmin
After twenty days of plundering, the Dashun army obtained a total of precious metals equivalent to more than 2000 million taels of silver. All the silver was re-melted into huge square silver plates with holes in the middle, and all the gold was melted into 50 taels of ingots. of gold ingots.

The intruder did this for the convenience of transportation. His rogue thinking was haunted, and he would always think about how to escape. Seeing how he could easily give up so many yellow and white things in his hands, of course he must always be prepared.

The thieves also seized many stocks of "Nanming" listed companies, worth no less than 5000 million silver coins. Many of the stocks are not real-name and can be traded.

It's a pity that the "stock exchange" on Wanggongchang Street in the capital city has long been empty, and these bumpkins don't know how to cash out the stocks.

The Dashun army obtained 3000 to [-] million taels of precious metals in cash, which of course did not include the property hidden by the bandit soldiers. How much wealth the entire capital was squeezed out by the bandit soldiers remained a mystery until hundreds of years later.

It stands to reason that at the time of "Jiashen's national calamity", the wealth obtained by the King of Wedding Dresses and his subordinates in Gyeonggi should not be less than hundreds of millions of taels of silver, including the value of the stocks. This wealth is really not a small number.

Emperor Chongzhen increased the payment and apportionment for more than ten years, and received only a few million taels of silver from the people. As a result, the people's hearts were scattered and the country fell.

The thieves squeezed hundreds of millions of taels of silver in the capital alone. The cruelty is evident.

Moreover, the figure of this huge wealth is by no means just squeezed from the bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty, but also from every small household in the capital.

The vicious thieves were like locusts passing through the capital. They looted all the precious metals they could find. They didn't care who they belonged to.

For the thieves, a month in the capital seemed like a fleeting time, it passed so quickly, there was no time for them to relive the wonderful feeling of holding the heavy gold, and there was no time to slowly enjoy the delicious white and tender bodies of everyone.

Seeing that the capital has been robbed all over, the thieves' bones are not enough, so they thought of the prefectures around the capital, and a group of thieves' bones volunteered to go out of the capital to seize the state capital that had not yet expressed their surrender.

Liu Zongmin is a good buddy of Li Duyan, and he got a good job to lead [-] rebels to attack Yongping Mansion, which has not expressed his surrender so far.

The lord of Yongping Mansion is Ye Chengjing, how could he look up to the postman who proclaimed himself "Dashun" emperor, of course he couldn't show his submission to the memorial.

What's more, Ye Chengjing is confident. If it wasn't for Nan Wang's order to stay dormant, he would be able to form tens of thousands of Xiangyongs to go to the capital to serve the King. He believes that there are first-level Xiangyongs in Yongping Mansion who use "Nanming" muskets to go to the capital to help defend and defeat Chuang. Thieves are very likely.

Ye Chengjing is now General Zanhua, the quartermaster who provides logistical support for Huang Mingli's army. He is full of hope to win the title of "Nanming" by fighting against the intruders.

Liu Zongmin happily led his troops to the Northeast. The others were envious and jealous. They all knew that Gyeonggi is rich and rich, and Yongping Prefecture is the leader in Gyeonggi Prefecture. If you can go there and grab it, how much gold, silver, treasures and beauties you will get!
The [-] bandit soldiers left the capital and continued to loot while marching forward. The bandit soldiers were messy and unseemly, and their attire was even more colorful. It was because they had snatched a lot of new clothes and put them on, making them look weird and colorful.

Huang Mingli has already completed the arrangement of closing the door and beating dogs, and now sitting in Yongping Mansion to plan how to send troops, he has long been impatient to wait, but the King of Nan has not yet issued an order for the entire army to surround the capital.

Unexpectedly, a team of [-] rebels came to Yongping Mansion under the banner of "Liu".

Fighting bandits belongs to pediatrics. Since 3 people are sent to the door immediately, they must be wiped out.

The intruders knew nothing about the deployment of the "Nanming" troops, and they didn't know much about the situation of the "Nanming" generals, but the soldiers of the "God of War" learned about the enemy's situation through briefings and military reports. But in the chest.

After observation, the "God of War" scouts quickly concluded that this group of bandits was led by Liu Zongmin, the number one general under the bandit's command. The marching route and equipment of the bandits were immediately delivered to the Chinese army and handed over to the commander-in-chief Huang Mingli.

In order to completely wipe out the arrogant Liu Zongmin's troops, the fourth battalion of "God of War" soldiers led [-] first-level township soldiers to dispatch, and the army surrounded them on all sides. Huang Mingli personally led [-] elite cavalry as a maneuver.

Liu Zongmin led his subordinates to talk and laugh in a hurry. They all thought that winning Yongping Mansion was a piece of cake, and they were all discussing how to play with women in different ways after entering the city.

The thieves suddenly found something was wrong when they entered Yongping Mansion. Why couldn't they see the fleeing people along the way, and couldn't see the abandoned pots and jars and dead bodies?
Liu Zongmin was also a veteran bandit who had fought battles. He realized the danger and immediately ordered the whole army to stop advancing, intending to wait for the scouts to report back the situation ahead before making a decision.

After waiting for a long time, he did not find the dozens of scouts who had dispersed back to the team, so Liu Zongmin had to send several hundred cavalry to reconnaissance.

At this moment, the subordinates clamored, because they found three huge red spheres in the sky ahead.

This is of course the hot air balloon launched by the "God of War". The pilots on it are the eyes of the artillery, and they have conveyed the coordinates of the bandits to the artillery position through semaphore.

The scouts of Liu Zongmin's department were only dozens of people, and under the surveillance of dozens of binoculars, their every move could not escape the eyes of the "God of War" scouts.

Now, except for a few of these people who were shot into hedgehogs by the steel crossbow, the rest were kneeling on the ground tremblingly waiting for the "God of War" soldiers to deal with them.

The thieves, who were rare and strange, looked at the hot air balloon pointing, all in admiration, and couldn't figure out how people could get into such a high hanging basket.

All of a sudden, there was a rumble of artillery, and 36 six-pound field guns began to roar, and 36 bullets fell into the undefended bandits.

Liu Zongmin's team was blown up immediately. Although the casualties caused by the artillery fire were actually limited, the shock brought by it made the bandit soldiers terrified.

Liu Zongmin galloped back and forth with his brothers from the old camp on a war horse, not hesitating to directly kill the scurrying subordinates to try to form the team. When he was very busy, there was a rumbling sound of horseshoes on the opposite side.

The dazzling red makes people dazzled, and the heroic "God of War" cavalry on strong horses lined up a wall and pushed forward.

When they approached the messy bandit soldiers about a hundred steps away, the knights crackled and fired the flintlock guns that had been aimed for a long time. Suddenly, hundreds of bandit soldiers fell down screaming, and the survivors rolled all over the ground.
