    If the sneak attack could be successful just now and get rid of Zhang Lei, a big hidden danger, then he will undoubtedly become a major contributor to the entire rebel team. If Zhang Lei, their common enemy, is removed, perhaps Zhang Xianzhong will become the leader of all the rebels.  The leader of the rebel army.

    But it is already too late, because Zhang Lei was not hit just now, and such an opportunity is fleeting. Zhang Lei will never give the sneak attack a second chance. Maybe he fell into the pit once because he didn't have a chance.  Note, it would be foolish to fall into the same pit.

    Zhang Lei looked a little uneasy because of the incident just now. This was the first time he encountered such a situation. Naturally, he couldn't calm down so quickly. He looked around, hearing the sounds of killing, screams, and swords and guns.  The sound of the collision was endless, but it didn't seem abnormal.

    The injured Jiang Yuyang put on his clothes again. Except for a hole in the back and the blood flowing down, there was no sign of injury in either his movements or his expression. Zhang Lei couldn't help but feel pricked up in his heart.  Thumbs up, he asked himself that he definitely couldn't do it.

    "Come on." At this moment, someone shouted, and everyone started to make a noise. Only then did Zhang Lei realize that the people outside had forced the opponent back, and Zhang Xianzhong's army began to fight and retreat.  , Zhang Lei's army began to advance to suppress fire.

    Zhang Lei couldn't help but shook his head. This scene was too familiar. He had experienced it many times.  Although there is not even a little bit of new ideas, Zhang Lei is still very satisfied, because winning with no new ideas is much better than losing with new ideas.

    The blood under the feet gathered together and dyed the land red.  The festering corpse was so disfigured that it looked disgusting.  The thick smell of blood makes people almost nauseous.  This is a scene that Zhang Lei has faced many times so far.  He stepped on these things and followed the large army forward.

    Zhang Xianzhong in the distance shook his head helplessly. Zhang Lei had so many tricks, and he really couldn't keep up. Although there were many more people than Zhang Lei and others, the combat effectiveness of a single soldier was absolutely inferior. Zhang Xianzhong saw that he  The soldiers retreated, feeling that it was time to boost their morale.

    He swooped down on his own horse from a high place and reached the middle of his team to ensure that he would not be attacked by the three-eyed blunderbuss in the hands of Zhang Lei's soldiers.  Holding his precious bow in his hand, he raised his arms and shouted: "Whoever can kill Zhang Lei will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver, and whoever can capture Zhang Lei alive will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold."

    Zhang Lei was startled, then smiled and said to Jiang Yuyang: "Old Qi, have you heard that the reward for catching me alive is ten thousand taels of gold. I haven't been in the world for so many years, and I didn't expect that I would still be like this before. I'm wondering where it is.  If you run out of money, why don't you sell yourself for money?"

    "Master Zhang, he is just boosting morale. Who can hurt you except me, Lao Qi? So no one can get his money. Besides, I think his words are too much.  If it's missing, how could Mr. Zhang be so cheap?" Jiang Yuyang said.

    "Oh? Ten thousand taels of gold is still cheap? Then tell me how much I am worth. Give me a price. If you can make my heart beat, I really want to sell myself." Zhang Lei said happily.  , ten thousand taels of gold, sixteen taels per catty, which is six hundred and twenty-five catties.

    Jiang Yuyang said: "Master Zhang, you are the priceless treasure of our Ming Dynasty. How can you measure it in terms of money? If you don't say ten thousand taels, then one hundred thousand or two million taels is not too much. But now many people want to use Master Zhang."  I'm a little worried about putting him to death."

    "Really? Oh, that's right. The one in front of me is Zhang Xianzhong. He paid 10,000 taels and wanted me to die. Who else is there? There's also Li Zicheng. He has been tricked by me many times and doesn't want me to continue living.  , and Huang Taiji, not only made it impossible to carry out his plan to go south to the Central Plains, but also killed one of his precious sons. He may hate me the most. Then who else? By the way, the emperor doesn¡¯t want me to live either.  , he wanted to kill me before, but he wouldn¡¯t have asked me to come over if he couldn¡¯t bear it anymore. Are there others? Alas, I really can¡¯t count them.¡± Zhang Lei said with emotion.

    He didn't expect that after coming to this world, he would actually make so many enemies. Zhang Lei couldn't help but smile to himself. This was not what he wanted to do, but it was as if there was a pair of hands pushing him.  , walking forward according to the predetermined route.

    Thinking of these strange things in his mind, Zhang Lei followed the large army and chased Zhang Xianzhong's team in front.  Despite the temptation of thousands of taels of real money, those soldiers still could not resist the attack of Zhang Lei's team and fled. After all, it was useless to have more money if their lives were lost.

    Fighting and walking, leaving countless corpses along the way, the whole area became a mess,Zhang Lei and the others fought until dusk, then from dusk to dawn, until the sun set the next day. Zhang Xianzhong's army finally fled due to heavy casualties and a sharp decrease in personnel.

    Zhang Lei ordered all the soldiers to stop and clean the battlefield. After a few days of sorting, all the corpses were burned together. When they were burned, the black smoke rushed into the sky like a tornado, and there was an unpleasant smell.  It permeated the entire mountain.

    After completing all this, Zhang Lei suddenly discovered that the families who were still staying here opened their doors one after another after learning that Zhang Xianzhong's army was defeated, and welcomed Zhang Lei and his companions with joy.  Zhang Lei saw that he had reduced many soldiers, so he decided to replenish his troops on the spot.

    On this day, that is, the second day after they disposed of the body, the people opened their doors early in the morning and found a small stone in front of the door with a piece of letterhead, which said that Zhang Lei was at the Chaohu Pier at noon.  Food distribution and recruitment of new soldiers continued, and everyone ran to watch the excitement.

    Of course, there are some people who don¡¯t say anything after seeing this piece of paper and just throw it away or take it into the latrine to wipe their butts, because they don¡¯t know how to read and can¡¯t understand what it says.  Regarding this, Zhang Lei could only say helplessly: "It's terrible to be uneducated."

    At the appointed time, Zhang Lei ordered all the ships to dock at the pier, and then transported all the grain loaded on them down and stacked it, weighing hundreds of thousands of kilograms. These were transported here directly from Taiping Island.  , leaving a large part in Songjiang Mansion.

    Zhang Lei looked at these familiar and unfamiliar people, the tattered clothes on their bodies, their eyes that looked frightened or numb due to the war, and their bodies that looked sallow and thin due to hunger, all made Zhang Lei feel  Lei looked extremely sad.

    Reminiscing about the time when he was in Chao County, when everyone lived a prosperous life, Zhang Lei sorted out his thoughts, then stood on a high platform, cleared his throat and said: "Fathers and fellow villagers, I  It¡¯s Zhang Lei, I¡¯m back again.¡±

    The people below were attracted and looked up at him. Zhang Lei continued: "Before this, some people with ulterior motives organized a group of unreasonable people to burn and kill in order to satisfy their own desires.  Robbery, our Chao County has also become the target of their looting. In a period of time not long ago, they did all kinds of evil here, causing great damage to the production and life of the people here, and even threatening the lives of the people.  After I got the news, I immediately led the army here. After a day and night of fierce fighting, our team successfully drove them out of Chao County. This also proves that evil can never defeat justice. We must  I can protect my homeland. In order not to plunge the people into such dire straits again, I decided to recruit some young and powerful people as my soldiers to jointly contribute to the peace of this country and the tranquility of Chao County.  At the same time, each of these families who have recruited soldiers can receive a living allowance of one tael of silver and one stone of rice every month. If you need to sign up, you can come and register, and those who meet the conditions can join immediately."

    "Okay, if you can conquer the world with Prince Consort Zhang, your future will be limitless, and you will also have money and food to eat. What else can you say? When all the rebels are wiped out, then can't we still be together?  Do you live a happy life like before?" someone in the crowd said.

    Zhang Lei took over and said: "Yes, that's it. We are going out to fight now for the sake of peace and tranquility in the future. If we don't eliminate all these people with malicious intentions, how can we still be able to engage in production with peace of mind in the future?"  What? How can you farm and cultivate the soil? Who dares to be rich? As soon as you have money, they will come over and snatch your things. The dealer will come over and directly occupy your things as soon as they have harvested. Maybe they will kill people. That way  Can we live our lives? So I am sure that everyone will join me and join my team to fight against these ignorant and rebellious people, let them pay the price for their actions, so that they will never dare to be arrogant again, and give us back  A peaceful country. When that time comes, I, Zhang Lei, will definitely come back and lead everyone to make a fortune together. Since I can make you rich once, it will definitely not be a big problem the second time."

    "Yes, yes, Mr. Zhang is right. If any of you join us, it goes without saying that you will not have to worry about food and clothing in the future. You can also accumulate military merit and be promoted. This is much easier than going to the yamen to sign up to join the army.  Besides, we also provide rice and money every month, which can also ensure the food and clothing of the family. Why don¡¯t you join us?¡± Jiang Yuyang also said in support.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
