Daming pirates

Now this group of guys had stung a hornet's nest. Zhang Changfang was waiting for this group of people to jump out. When he learned that some of the people sent to Qingzhang were beaten or even killed, he immediately took action and immediately sent troops to where the incident occurred.

They ransacked the house directly and arrested all the culprits. The domestic slaves who did it were beaten to death on the spot. They were not polite to those who ordered them and were sentenced to death immediately.

One of the big family members was a relative of the current emperor. He thought that Zhang Changfang did not dare to touch him, so he was quite arrogant. When the officials of the Qing Zhang went to his village to clear the land, he sent people to arrest several of the officials on the spot.

They got up, hung them outside the village wall, stripped off their clothes, beat them with whips dipped in salt water, and humiliated them.

When Zhang Changfang sent troops to his village, the man still refused to give up. He actually shouted that if he had the ability, he would let the officers and soldiers try it.

But who are these officers and soldiers? The soldiers Zhang Changfang sent were Yu Jiajun soldiers. How could he take such foreign relatives seriously? After ordering his release to no avail, the platoon leader who led the team immediately gave the order without saying a word.

Fire.

The emperor's relative who was arrogant on the wall of the village was shot in the head by Yu Jiajun's rifle on the spot. His brains were scattered everywhere. The dozen or so servants who stood with him on the wall of the village also fled.

He didn't even have a chance, so he was knocked down the village wall.

At this time, there was complete chaos in Zhuangzi. The platoon leader led the team without stopping and led his troops directly to attack Zhuangzi. There was a massacre, and all the people in Zhuangzi who were from this family, except for the children, were killed.

Butchered them all.

Afterwards, Zhang Changfang was shocked when he heard the news. He felt that it was a bit too much, but since he had done it, he could not turn back time, so he charged the family with treason.

show to the public.

During Zhang Changfang's half-year stay in Shandong, he killed dozens of wealthy families. Such thunderous methods finally made the local dignitaries aware of Zhang Changfang's determination, and they finally began to surrender.

Although paying taxes makes them feel painful, it is better than being arrested, killed, and having their homes confiscated! So after a series of events, the local wealthy households in Shandong finally chose to obey and began to accept the Qingzhang of their land.

, and pay the prescribed taxes.

Each of these big households hated Xiaotian and Zhang Changjie with a passion. One of the big households was so angry that he secretly hired assassins to assassinate Zhang Changjie, hoping to kill Xiaotian's majesty by assassinating Zhang Changjie.

Let Yu Xiaotian know that he cannot cover up the world with one hand.

But this guy was a bit too simple-minded. He actually let the news out beforehand, and Zhang Changjie learned the news immediately. When Zhang Changjie heard that someone actually wanted his life, he immediately sent troops to the wealthy family and killed all their family members, old and young.

He was arrested and tortured until he finally confessed.

Later, Zhang Changjie found this guy guilty of plotting to assassinate an official of the imperial court, and plotting to rebel and commit rebellion. They executed everyone in his family and killed dozens of his family members, which really effectively frightened the local tycoons in Shandong.

This policy is undoubtedly very good news for ordinary people. The rich are not happy, but the common people are happy. The heavy burden that has been weighing on them has been lifted a lot. Although

There is still so much land, but throughout the year, I can finally leave a few mouthfuls of food for myself. This is quite good for ordinary people, who do not have too high aspirations, so they are grateful to Xiaotian for this.

However, after Yu Xiaotian came to power, he vigorously rectified the officialdom and reformed taxes. At the same time, he also officially began to face a problem that had troubled Chongzhen for many years, and that was the problem of the refugee army.

After more than ten years of development and successive years of famine in the north, the refugee army has swept almost the entire Jiangbei region. The refugee army has swept across Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, North Zhili, South Zhili, Shandong, Huguang, Sichuan and other places.

, occupying almost half of the rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty.

Although in the past two years, under Yang Sichang's suppression strategy, the refugee army suffered a heavy blow and many of the refugee armies were wiped out by the government, but with the change in the situation in the north, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting led troops north to Qinwang,

This immediately gave Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others a rare chance to breathe.

Hong Chengchou went north to defend the country and mobilized a large number of Shaanxi officers and soldiers out of Shaanxi, which suddenly relaxed the high pressure that the refugee army had endured in the past year or two.

Li Zicheng, who was already being chased by Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, thought he was really going to be doomed this time, but at this moment, he got such a rare respite, so Li Zicheng immediately led the remaining troops and rushed out.

In the Shangluo Mountains, tens of thousands of refugees were gathered all the way around Shaanxi Province in just over two months, regaining their original strength.

People like Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and others also immediately emerged from their hiding places. Zhang Xianzhong broke into Henan again, and after plundering Nanyang and Xinyang, he and Luo Rucai fled into Huguang.

territory

Within a year, he began to move around Zaoyang and Suizhou, and his strength quickly recovered and grew. From time to time, he also went back to Shaanxi to recruit some refugees. At the same time, he also absorbed a large number of refugees from Henan, and his strength was stronger than before.

In addition to these few leaders, many of the refugee armies that had been somewhat extinct took advantage of the opportunity to make a comeback, and began to recruit people everywhere and coerced ordinary people into joining the army.

The refugee army has done very serious damage to the foundation of society. Although their starting point is not wrong, they only do it to stutter and survive, but among them, there are quite a few people, especially the leaders.

In the past, a few people were either local tycoons or ruffians who were brave and ruthless. Only these people who were ruthless could achieve great things. Ordinary people would certainly not be able to do these things.

So no one can expect the refugee army to have any military discipline at all. Except for a few refugee soldiers who have some restraint on their subordinates, most of the refugee armies are actually like locusts. They attack some rich people's villages, which can be regarded as robbing the rich.

Help the poor, but they don't all do this. In fact, they don't care about the rich or the poor, as long as they like it, they will rob it, even the poorest people, they will never let it go.

And this is also one of their strategies. They eat up a place like locusts, and then force the people in that place to be unable to survive even after the refugee army leaves, so they can only kill their wives and abandon their children to follow them.

, seeking a way to survive.

And their approach undoubtedly caused serious damage to the foundation of society. Wherever the refugee army passed by, it was worse than the locust plague. It could be said that it was a hundred miles of bare ground without a trace of smoke. Many people who passed by the refugee army were

It can be said that the place has only ten rooms and nine empty rooms. The people here were either massacred by the refugee army, or were robbed of all their survival capital. As a last resort, they had no choice but to follow the thieves and follow the refugee army to make ends meet.

The refugee army never takes human life seriously. They often attack cities and forts and drive out countless hungry and skinny refugees to serve as cannon fodder. These people don't even have a weapon. Many of them can only use weapons.

A wooden stick was driven onto the battlefield.

Often their core main force is supervising the battle from behind. Anyone who dares not to rush forward will be killed by them immediately. Therefore, although the refugee army in this era has its righteous side, the things they often do are shocking.

Human beings pointed out that it was definitely not like the all-positive descriptions of them in later history books.

Yu Xiaotian is now staying in this era, and of course he is very aware of this. Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty can be said to have basically fallen into his hands. He can now be said to have overwhelming power, one person is less than ten thousand people, and

He doesn't have to worry about the person above telling him what to do every day.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty is now his China. He wants to rewrite a new chapter on this land, and naturally he cannot avoid facing the problem of refugees.

Yu Xiaotian will not be like the previous court, hesitating back and forth on the issue of suppression and peace. Now the refugee army is his biggest enemy. If this group of refugee army is not completely wiped out, then he will not be able to realize his dream.

Therefore, after stabilizing the situation in the capital and the north, Yu Xiaotian, under the guise of Chongzhen, ordered Sun Chuanting to succeed Lu Xiangsheng as governor-general of Henan, Huguang and Huguang provinces, and be responsible for the suppression of bandits in these two provinces.

Sun Chuanting originally had a strong hostile attitude towards Xiaotian. This time he and Hong Chengchou led troops to join the Wei Qinwang. However, they were blocked by the Yu Jiajun in the Fangshan area. They fought with more troops but were defeated by the Yu Jiajun in the end.

The result was falling flowers and flowing water, which also allowed Sun Chuanting to fully understand what it means to be a strong soldier.

Sun Chuanting, escorted by his own soldiers, ran for hundreds of miles before finally escaping the pursuit of the Yu family army and fled to Juyong Pass to hide.

Many days passed, and Sun Chuanting still felt like he was in a nightmare. He couldn't believe that this was true. He had been in battle for a long time. He had served as an official in Shaanxi for many years and followed Hong Chengchou to conquer and suppress the refugee armies, large and small.

I have experienced at least dozens of small battles, and I have seen brave soldiers and horses.

However, he has never seen such a heroic soldier as the Yu Jiajun, nor has he ever seen such fierce artillery fire. In front of the Yu Jiajun, those Shaanxi soldiers he was so proud of were simply slaughtered like grass and grass. Human lives depended on the Jiajun's.

He was so worthless in front of the artillery fire that he felt extremely aggrieved and was unable to fight back after being beaten.

Now he finally understood why Yu Xiaotian dared to block the path of the slave-building army with 30,000 lone soldiers and immediately blocked the path of the slave-building army, and beat the slave-building army into disgrace.

Killed in front of the two armies.

And why he was able to defeat the official army in a row, lead the army to attack the capital, and control the entire capital. As far as he knew, it was probably difficult to find more powerful soldiers and horses in the world than his Yu Jiajun.

To destroy them, unless Yu Xiaotian himself died, otherwise no one would be able to defeat his Yu family army.

So after Sun Chuanting escaped to Juyongguan, he fell into a kind of helplessness and fear. He didn't know what to do next. He felt a little confused all day long, staying behind closed doors and not caring about anything.
