In the late Ming Dynasty, rising from the grassland

Chapter 311: Rogue style of play

The Confucius family in Qufu, which has been passed down for 3000 years, was ransacked. No one in the five direct generations was spared. They were all loaded into prison cars and taken to the capital for exile. After the news spread, the whole of Shandong was like a huge earthquake. Everyone was shocked. Shocked beyond measure.

After the shock, they all cooperated with agricultural officials from various places, and no landlord or gentry dared to do anything.

This allowed the New Land Deal, which had almost come to a standstill due to the public resistance and opposition of the Kong family a while ago, to complete the survey work in a very short period of time, far exceeding that of other provinces.

Obviously, no matter how many landowners and gentry Lin Rui copied, he was not in a hurry to take action on the Kong family. The Kong family even copied the family at his request, which meant that there was no such family in the world that the emperor did not dare to touch.

Therefore, after Lin Rui confiscated the Kong family, basically all the landowners and gentry became desperate and no longer held any illusions or luck. Invisibly, the will of the new emperor of Dahua could not be violated, which almost became the consensus of the world.

When the news spread to the south, the Donglin Party members in the south naturally took the opportunity to slander him and call on the scholars all over the world to resist the tyrant.

Obviously everyone thought that Lin Rui's attack on the Kong family at this time was simply suicidal. However, the fact was that the red lady led the army and detoured to Huai'an Prefecture. Civil and military officials, gentry and landlords from all over the country were still vying to submit.

Before Shi Kefa could even react, the [-]-strong army easily crossed the Huaihe River and captured Huai'an. Then Shi Kefa hurriedly led the tens of thousands of troops he had pieced together and rushed north from Yangzhou.

"Report, Commander Hong, that the Ming army's vanguard has arrived in Gaoyou, with about [-] troops. They will arrive in Huai'an in eight days."

"Humph, it's too late now. This official has such a great reputation. Who would have thought that he is just a civil servant who talks about military affairs on paper and has no experience in military affairs at all. How can the Emperor of Nanming put him in charge of the war in Jiangbei? ?”

The red lady looked at the map and sneered again and again. He didn't expect that the official would hoard half of his troops in Yangzhou instead of concentrating all his troops to defend along the south bank of the Huaihe River. He even left only one in such an important town as Huai'an. Thousands of soldiers defended her, and she also sent a fool to lead her. Not only did she easily cross the Huaihe River, but she also captured Huai'an without any effort.

Now that all her [-]-strong army had crossed the river and captured Huai'an City, Shi Kefa was thinking of leading troops north for reinforcements. What was the use?What's the point?
Originally, if Shi Kefa chose to defend Yangzhou, the Red Lady planned to leave some soldiers and horses to garrison Huai'an City, and then lead the army westward to attack the Chuang King. But now, naturally, she had to go south to defeat Shi Kefa first, and then attack the Chuang Army.

In order to prevent the Chuang army from sending troops for reinforcements after receiving the news, the Red Lady did not delay at all, and led the army directly and quickly southward the next day, preparing for a quick victory.

Although Shi Kefa still had [-] troops in his hands, after seeing the combat effectiveness of Huai'an's soldiers and horses, the Red Lady did not take those [-] soldiers and horses seriously at all.

When King Chuang learned that the Chinese army had reached Huai'an Prefecture, easily crossed the Huai River and captured Huai'an, he jumped up and cursed angrily.

Obviously, they didn’t expect that the officials were so miserable. Even though 10 people couldn’t defend the east line of the Huaihe River, they were easily broken through. Compared to Fengyang Prefecture’s Huaihe River defense line, which was nearly a thousand miles long, Huai’an Prefecture was better. More defense.

If I had known this, I might as well have attacked the entire Huai'an Prefecture and Yangzhou Prefecture in one go, and defended it myself.

But even if he regretted it again, King Chuang knew at this moment that they and Li Kefa were now grasshoppers on the same rope. Huai'an on the eastern front was lost, and Fengyang on the western front could no longer be defended, so he had no choice but to scold his mother and whip at the same time. The loss of [-] troops allowed Liu Zongmin to rush for reinforcements, and combined with the Ming army to retake Huai'an and drive the Chinese army back to the north bank.

Unfortunately, Shi Kefa was defeated too quickly. Liu Zongmin's army had just reached Sizhou at the southern end of Hongze Lake. The army led by Red Lady collided head-on with Shi Kefa near Baoying County.

Li Kefa was panicked and worried that the Chuang army would take the opportunity to seize Huai'an and Yangzhou, so he did not choose to defend and wait for the Chuang army, but hurriedly started a field battle with the red lady.

The result is self-evident. Shi Kefa's [-]-strong mob was directly defeated by the Red Lady, and finally fled back to Yangzhou by water with more than [-] remaining defeated soldiers.

When he learned that the Ming army had been defeated again, Liu Zongmin went crazy and cursed Shi Kefa as a pig for not waiting for him to fight again. But now, he could only choose to continue to pounce on the red lady.The Red Lady did not pursue the victory and went south to Yangzhou. She only rested for two days and then led the army to the west to kill Liu Zongmin.

Three days later, the two sides met at the junction of Huai'an Prefecture, Fengyang Prefecture, and Yangzhou Prefecture, near Zhoujia Village.

Despite successive battles, the Red Lady's troops increased instead of decreasing. Excluding the 5000 people who stayed in Huai'an and Baoying counties, she still had more than 7 people in her hands.

Moreover, due to the consecutive battles and victories, the morale of the army soared.

"Commander Hong, my eldest brother Chuang Wang is not kind to you and your wife. It doesn't matter if you have voted for the Chinese army, but now you are helping the Chinese army to fight against your old brother. Don't you feel ashamed?"

Liu Zongmin looked at the red lady and gritted his teeth angrily, wishing he could just tear this lady apart.

"Bah, you guys are worse than beasts. How have you ruined a good Kaifeng Mansion? Who is your old brother? It was because I, the red lady, was blind that I cast my love in secret."

The red lady also cursed loudly. She was not willing to join King Chuang in the first place, but her husband insisted on supporting King Chuang, so she had no choice but to join him.

So there was no psychological pressure at all, but he wanted to kill Liu Zongmin to avenge the fellow villagers in Henan.

"You treacherous, shameless bitch, I will capture you alive today and cook you..."

Liu Zongmin was so angry that he burst into flames. He drew his sword directly, clamped the horse's belly, roared and rushed towards the red lady.

The twenty henchmen brought behind him also drew their swords and killed him.

"Then it depends on who cooks whom, it will cost you your life..."

The red lady also had a bad temper, so she drew her sword and led her bodyguards to attack him.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

"Kill..."

"Come on..."

When the armies of both sides saw the commanders of the two armies talking and fighting in front of the two armies, they also launched a charge regardless, and for a while the shouts of killing were loud.

Nearly [-] troops from both sides surged forward like two floods. In a short time, they were fighting together and turned into a pot of porridge. There was no order at all.

Compared to the infantry field battle between Lin Rui and Lu Xiangsheng, with battalions facing battalions and phalanxes facing each other, Liu Zongmin and Hong Niangzi were fighting like gangsters, and the armies led by the two naturally followed the same example. They were all gangsters. style of play.
