I want to ruin the country

Luo Shixin thought about it and it was very possible. Haha, a cunning rabbit has three burrows!

Luo Shidao believes,

"Take us to find it!"

At this point, Lou Si had nothing to worry about, so he brought his men to the back mountain.

Arriving at the edge of the mountain, Lou Si pointed downwards.

“There’s a hole down here, and I don’t know if they’re in there!

Luo Shixin took one look and thought this place was a good choice.

Looking down from above, it was about forty or fifty feet. If no one hadn't said it, no one would have thought that there was a cave below that could hide people!

Luo Shixin ordered,

"Let go of the rope and take a look!"

Several long ropes were lowered, and more than a dozen soldiers went down, covering each other.

Someone asked, are Wang Yuegui and Hu Jiujiang really here?

It’s really here!

It is said that Hu Jiujiang is an old fox!

He was afraid that the stronghold would be breached one day, so he thought about it in advance and left an escape nest here.

There is food and drink inside, so you can last for twenty to thirty days without any problem.

As long as he wasn't discovered, he could hide there for a while, and when the storm was over, he could take the money and leave the place, and still live his happy life.

He had quietly killed all the bandits who knew the news.

Even Wang Yuegui doesn't know about this place.

Unfortunately, a small follower told this news to his cousin Lou Si.

Lou Si suddenly had an idea today. He suddenly thought that Hu Jiujiang might be hiding in there.

Hu Jiujiang and Wang Sangui were lost in thought in the cave. They had no idea what was happening outside.

Wang Yuegui asked,

"Do you know for sure that our stronghold has been destroyed?"

Hu Jiujiang said,

"Don't you know the character of our own men? Bullying the common people is fine, but fighting against the government troops is out of the question!"

"The government troops are so powerful, but we beat them away before!"

Hu Jiujiang smiled bitterly.

"The government troops are different from the government troops. This is the new army trained by the emperor. He has put a lot of effort into it. Its combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the Green Camp soldiers!

They came all the way from Guangdong. Is there any mountain stronghold, big or small, that can withstand them?

We use cannons, they are also flesh and blood, of course they can do nothing!

But the cannon has been blown up, and we have nothing to rely on. We can only clean our necks and wait for the knife to be cut!"

Wang Yuegui said sadly,

"How come they blew up our cannon?"

Hu Jiujiang said,

"I heard that the Emperor personally trained a special forces company. These people are almost divine soldiers. I guess they were the ones who caused the explosion!"

You know what, Hu Jiujiang is really not an ordinary guy. His analysis is basically consistent with the facts.

Wang Yuegui did not give up,

"At night, we'll climb up and see what's going on. If the stronghold isn't broken, we'll have been hiding here for nothing!"

Hu Jiujiang also held a glimmer of hope in his heart, and he nodded.

"I'll climb up and take a look at it at night!"

Unfortunately, before nightfall, we heard ropes being lowered from above, and soon soldiers in military uniforms came down.

When they reached the cave entrance, they stepped aside and shouted to the people inside.

"Wang Yuegui, Hu Jiujiang, listen up! You've been discovered! Come out and surrender immediately, or we'll throw grenades in!"

Wang Yuegui was shocked. The stronghold was indeed broken!

Hu Jiujiang sighed,

"It's over, it's over!"

He is a smart man. At this point, resistance is a dead end, and not resisting is also a dead end.

He walked over and hugged the trembling Wang Yuegui.

"Let's be husband and wife in our next life!"

Then he shook the tinder and lit the fuse!

Wang Yuegui stared at him in horror.

"What do you want to do?"

Hu Jiujiang didn't say anything, but just hugged Wang Yuegui tightly.

"boom!"

An explosion sounded at the top of the mountain, and Luo Shixin was startled.

"What's wrong!"

Then I heard the soldiers below shout,

"General, there's an explosion inside!"

When there was no movement inside, the soldiers carefully went in and saw that the small cave was covered in blood and flesh.

Since the amount of explosives is not large and it is traditional black powder.

Therefore, Wang Yuegui and the others could basically still be seen in human form.

The two of them became a pair of mandarin ducks with the same fate!

After careful inspection, there was not much in the cave except food and water.

They found an iron box and when they opened it, they found nothing inside but a large stack of banknotes.

After counting, there are tens of millions of them.

At this point, the bandit problem of King Yuegui of Lingshan was completely eradicated!

Not surprisingly, there were also large amounts of food, gold, silver and jewelry stored on the mountain.

Luo Shixin left enough military rations and handed over the rest to the local authorities.

Count the gold, silver and jewelry and take them to the capital!

All the bandits in Guangdong and Guangxi were eradicated, and the emperor issued an imperial decree to commend them.

Those who deserve promotion will be promoted and those who deserve reward will be rewarded!

An Yiquan submitted a memorial requesting punishment for his defeat!

Yining did not punish him, but comforted him, saying that victory and defeat are common in the military and he should let go of his burdens.

Just consider all aspects when fighting in the future. Excellent generals all grew up in bloody battles.

Yining expressed his appreciation for Luo Shixin's arrangements near Jintian Town, saying that as a general, one should have a strategic awareness of preparing for a rainy day.

Yining issued an edict, ordering the governors of all provinces to come to the capital to report on their work.

In fact, according to convention, major officials from all over the country would basically come to see the emperor during the Mid-Autumn Festival in August.

Why do we have to meet the emperor during the Mid-Autumn Festival in August? To put it in a more grand way, it means that the moon is full in the sky and people on earth also want to reunite!

Practically speaking, this is probably the time of year when both the emperor and his ministers are in a better mood.

It makes sense to say this for Shenzhen!

During this solar term, summer is basically over, it’s not hot anymore, and winter hasn’t come yet, so it’s not cold!

It is harvest season all over the country, from south to north and from east to west. Corn, soybeans, sorghum, cotton, sweet potatoes, potatoes, peanuts, apples, pears, etc. are all ripe.

With these, the people will not starve and will have money to spend no matter what they sell. They will feel good, right?

Even if you are a beggar, it is the best time of the year. The weather is not hot anymore and you can find a place to fall asleep without worrying about freezing to death at night.

You can just dig some sweet potatoes, peanuts, and corn cobs from the fields to fill your stomach, and there are ripe fruits and vegetables everywhere to satisfy your cravings.

When the people have enough food and drink and have money to spend, they will be in a good mood. When the people are in a good mood, the emperor will naturally be in a good mood too!

No matter how foolish, incompetent, inhumane or a bastard this emperor is, as an emperor he also hopes that his people can live and work in peace and contentment.

It would be different if it was Chinese New Year!

The end of the year, the end of the year. For some people it is a celebration of the New Year, for others it is just a transition period, and they have to prepare for creditors to collect debts.

And there is that beggar who has nothing to eat or drink. He might freeze to death on the street one day. How can the emperor be in a good mood?

Of course, this situation basically does not exist this year.

Not only could everyone have enough food to eat, but the emperor also didn't collect taxes for a whole year, and the lives of the people improved greatly.
