Anyone who dared to resist in Erwangzhuang was killed, leaving only a group of old, weak, women and children.
Zhang Fu personally interrogated him and soon found out that the owner of the village was called Gaoxing. His brother Gao Ji was the governor of the Fifth Army Commandery. From a second-grade official.
It governs major matters such as the mobilization of troops and horses, and the mobilization of no more than 500 people does not need to alarm the emperor at all. The Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army can be mobilized. That's why Zhuangzi has so many people.
"Young Master, there are more than 500 horses alone, and they are all good horses from outside the Great Wall. These people are smuggling military horses."
Zhang Fu is young but has a lot of experience.
"Find the account books, and if there are any survivors who can serve as witnesses, leave two." Xu Qin said without interest.
"Okay, but now we have found more than 40,000 taels of gold and silver, as well as some jewelry." Luo Zhong continued.
"Oh, keep all the treasures, divide the gold and silver half with the brothers, and hand over the remaining half." Xu Qin knew what Luo Zhong meant.
He did this himself.
At this moment, there was the sound of horse hooves, and a cavalryman ran over.
"Reporting to the general, ten miles away from the capital, a group of people is approaching quickly, carrying the flag of the Fifth Army Commander's Palace."
said the scout.
Everyone looked at each other and Xu Qin. This was caught by the Fifth Army Governor's Office.
"This is a fake thief who came here to deceive me. Take it down and kill him on the spot if he resists."
Xu Qin ordered coldly. Luo Zhong and the other general manager glanced at each other, but still followed the order.
"I was afraid that he would come late." Xu Qin said lightly.
He felt that it was almost time for his captor to come.
Gao Ji received news from his younger brother this morning, saying that soldiers from the Shenji Battalion had attacked Erwangzhuang, and he had captured several of them and killed a few.
Even with the heel of his heel, he knew that this younger brother must be causing trouble again. He didn't want to use this younger brother, who had been wiping his butt all these years.
But I couldn't bear it, and my mother always protected this younger brother. She always felt that he was a second-rank official and she must let his younger brother also become an official.
But he knew that this person was not the material. Impulsive and willful, greedy for money and lust, and arrogant, causing trouble everywhere.
He can still deal with a few soldiers from the Shenji Battalion. If you can't fight, you are said to be a deserter. Moreover, it is a big mistake to launch troops and plunder privately.
The generals of the Shenji Battalion did not dare to delve deeper. His younger brother also had this in mind before he dared to act rashly.
Who would have expected that in the afternoon, I would receive news that two sentry troops had left the camp without permission during the Shenji Camp drill, heading towards Xuanwu County.
When he confirmed the news and confirmed that Xu Qin was leading the team, everyone felt bad.
It was like a bucket of ice water poured directly from Tianling Gai to his heels.
If Xu Qin doesn't move, that's it. There are some lawsuits and some involvements. He is a second-rank official in the imperial court and is backed by King Zhao.
But Xu Qin led the troops out without saying a word, and it was Xuanwu County. He knew it was bad, this was someone who could break the sky.
Not to mention Erwangzhuang, Xuanwu County is not enough for them to fight. That's the Shenji Camp.
He immediately took the people out of the city and went straight to Erwangzhuang. From a distance, I could already see the smoke and dust rising into the sky, which was exactly in the direction of Erwangzhuang.
"Xu Qin, you madman, are you crazy?" Gao Ji reined in his horse and could no longer move forward.
If the fight hadn't started or even ended, he could have passed. But now it is obvious that Erwangzhuang is gone.
At this point, the past has already thrown itself into a trap, so why not go back and file a lawsuit.
It was too late for him to leave, forty or fifty horsemen had already come round and surrounded them.
"If anyone comes, dismount and capture them without restraint. Otherwise, they will be killed on the spot." The leader of the group shouted from the horse.
"Blinding your dog eyes, this is the flag of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, get out of the way." One of Gao Ji's men stepped forward holding a flag and reprimanded.
It's really eye-opening how dare these troops dare to offend the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion.
"Sure enough, it's a fake by a thief..." Zong Qi waved his hand coldly.
The bows and arrows that had been prepared long ago were fired in succession. The knight of the Fifth Army Commandery Palace who directly controlled the order was shot into a hedgehog.
"Get off your horse and capture him, otherwise he will be killed on the spot." Zong Qi led his men towards Gao Ji's team.
Gao Ji was also a military commander, a military commander in the Hongwu Dynasty. Later, when Zhu Di came, he took the initiative to surrender to King Zhao and gained his current status.
"How courageous, how dare you defy the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion..." He picked up the reins and rushed forward after speaking.
The knight behind him naturally followed.
Then he saw the general flag make a move, and fifty knights actually raised a three-eyed gun.
Put it on the saddle, aim at them and fire.
"No..." Gao Ji hid in the pedal, hiding on the side of the horse.
Bang bang bang...
There was an explosion of firecrackers, and the more than twenty knights he brought were thrown off their horses and beaten to a bloody pulp.
His horse was shot and rolled to the ground, directly pressing against his thigh.
This is the horse gun equipped by Xu Qin to the cavalry. It's just an improvement from the old three-eyed gun. Able to fire from the saddle.
After the firing is completed, this thing has the same effect as a mace when swung.
Soon the disgraced Gao Ji was escorted to Xu Qin.
"Do you know that your brother sells military horses privately?" Xu Qin asked calmly.
There was also an eunuch, Haitao, standing next to him.
At this time, Haitao was mute, and His Majesty sent him to take over Xu Qin's military power. This is a terrible job.
He didn't know if Xu Qin really rebelled as the King of Han said, and he might lose his head if he did so.
So I could only watch and wait, not daring to say a word.
"Xu Qin, you know that it is a capital crime for you to mobilize troops without permission. I advise you not to make a mistake." Gao Ji still wanted to struggle.
"Here, bring an apple and put it on Master Gao's head." Xu Qin said.
Gao Ji was immediately pulled up and an apple was placed on his head.
Everyone didn't understand what was going on. It wasn't until Xu Qin picked up a blunderbuss fifty steps away that they suddenly understood.
"Gao Ji, don't move. I'm just hitting an apple to test the skill of the craftsman. If the fire blunderbuss is well forged, I will hit the apple. If the forging is not good, I will burn the paper for you next year."
Xu Qin said, picking up the musket and starting to aim.
Zhang Fu laughed out loud. This young man was so wicked that he blamed the craftsmen for everything.
"Xu Qin, don't mess around. I am a second-rank official in the imperial court. You are like this... you are like this..." Gao Ji didn't know what to say.
He had already done all the things of mobilizing troops privately, and there was nothing else he didn't dare to do. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel his legs twisting.
"Shh, don't move. I'm not sure if I'm so excited..." Xu Qin said and pulled the trigger, holding the matchlock to the medicine pool.
Bang... there was a burst of smoke, and I felt a huge recoil coming from my shoulders.
The apple on top of Gao Ji's head shattered into pieces and was actually hit.
"Okay, General, a great shot..." Luo Zhong took the lead in applauding.
Many musketeers were also shocked. At fifty steps, they actually hit an apple. This young man was really powerful.
Xu Qin was confused. He was actually aiming at the side, trying to scare Gao Ji, but he missed the mark.
"Damn it, can you hit this? Gao Ji, you have a tough life." Xu Qin said teasingly.
"Xu Qin, if you can, beat me to death. Your Majesty will not let you go. I am a veteran of the Hongwu Dynasty."
Gao Ji felt the apple explode on his head and almost peed at that moment. Now he used all his courage to scold Xu Qin but begged for death.
"Okay, I'll help you, come and put another apple on his head." Xu Qin said.
Gao Ji struggled desperately and said nothing. The feeling of standing and being targeted was too exciting.
His heart couldn't bear it and he would rather be beaten to death.
As a result, Zhang Fu personally tied him to a tree and placed an apple on his head.
"If the young master wants to play, you have to play with me. It will depend on whether you are honest this time." Zhang Fu said excitedly.
Xu Qin stood seventy steps away with a blunderbuss, and then he aimed at Gao Ji's head, wanting him to die today.
boom……
Another burst of smoke cleared, and Gao Ji only felt a burst on his head. The apple shattered in response, and the juice flowed all over his face.
It broke again.
"Xu Qin, you little bastard, give me a hard time with a knife." Gao Ji roared angrily.
"My young master is a great shot..." the entire team of musketeers shouted. At seventy steps, they couldn't even see the apple clearly.
The young father-in-law can actually hit the target. This is not a magic shot.
"That's so damn weird, I was clearly aiming for the head!" Xu Qin scratched his head and said.
The people around him didn't believe it at all, especially Zhang Fu who was in admiration.
A hundred steps can pierce the Yang, that is the only one among ten thousand sharpshooters. There were not many of them in the entire Ming Dynasty.
"Let one more one go, one hundred steps. If I can't kill you in one hundred steps, I will let you go today." Xu Qin said to Gao Ji.
"No, I have recruited Xu Qin. I am willing to say it. My brother is selling military horses. He brings tea, salt and iron from here, and brings the military horses back..."
Gao Ji didn't want to live anymore, he just wanted to be happy. He was willing to say that he just wanted Xu Qin to give him a happy life.
Being targeted with a firecracker, it felt like the apple was exploding above my head. It was so scary.
He didn't feel terrible about being beheaded, but what was terrible was that he was so scared that he peed, and then he would not be able to survive.
And he figured it out, Xu Qin wanted him to die. It would be better to die happily and stop bothering.
"Shut his mouth and put the apple away." Xu Qin didn't want to hear what he had to say. There was no unexpected secret.
He didn't bother to care about these nonsense, what he wanted was revenge. The lives of six brothers in Shenji Camp.
"Gao Ji, listen, if I can still hit the apple after a hundred steps, it's because God won't let you die. The lives of the six brothers in the Shenji Battalion will count as you've survived."
Xu Qin said, walked a hundred steps away, and raised the firecracker.
Gao Ji cursed Xu Qin in his heart for being shameless. Shenji camp's life is his life, isn't it my brother's life?
It was already dark, but the moon was still round. Xu Qin carried out his final madness.
One hundred steps, under this light, no one believed that Xu Qin could hit the apple. Even hitting Gao Ji is considered a good weapon.
Xu Qin aimed at Gao Ji's head, and he no longer believed in evil today.
Gao Ji himself had given up hope, cursing Xu Qin in his heart for not having a good death, and even torturing himself.
boom……
The smoke has cleared...
