Although the speed of Jiangnan's decay was beyond Yang Feng's expectations, it was even more unexpected to the local gentry in Jiangnan.

These gentry who had been frugal since they were born can no longer remember when they heard about war last time. It seemed that it was in the Jiajing period a hundred years ago. But these things were too far away for them, so far away that they had been regarded as legends by them.

These gentry who were used to enjoying clothes and food to open their mouths to live suddenly discovered that they were so fragile that in less than a month, Runing Mansion, Huangzhou Mansion and De'an Mansion fell one after another.

Especially when Li Zicheng, who claimed to be the King of Breaking, shouted the slogan "The King of Breaking, will not pay food when he comes", the farmers who usually look extremely docile almost first changed into bloodthirsty beasts, and immediately turned into bloodthirsty beasts, roaring and pounced on them.

"Friends...run quickly... the thieves are here!"

The former beautiful Taihu County Town has now become a hell on earth. Countless bandits wearing ragged clothes and red scarves, holding various weapons and even farm tools, pouring into the county town like a tide.

They were chasing the people on the streets wantonly. The honest and honest characteristics that originally appeared on them have long disappeared. From now on, only tyranny and hideousness lingering in their hearts.

"Hahaha... men, kill me! Kill all the lackeys in the court who refused to surrender to my rebel army. Another team of people came to encircle all the wealthy families. If you are willing to open the door and kneel down to surrender, you can spare their lives. If you refuse to open the door, you will kill them all!"

In the middle of the street, a man wearing armor and a red scarf with a big head was holding a ghost-headed knife and shouting wildly. Countless bandits behind him also joined the ranks of burning, killing and plundering.

"Dongdongdongdong..."

In an inner house, dozens of women, children and children were hiding in a room. Listening to the violent collision sounds coming from outside, everyone was so scared that they shivered and their faces were pale.

I don't know how long it took, but I heard a violent collapse sound from outside, as if the door outside was knocked open. Then there were cheers, followed by screams. The women and children all looked dead. They knew that the servants guarding outside and their fathers, brothers and husbands were being slaughtered by bandits, and it was their turn soon.

Unfortunately, their premonition was correct. Not long after, accompanied by the sound of rapid and messy footsteps, the shouts of bandits came from outside. Soon the door was knocked open and countless bandits flocked in. When these bandits saw the trembling women and women hiding in the house, they all cheered and rushed towards them with red eyes.

By dawn the next day, the entire Taihu County town had become a hell on earth, with burning houses everywhere, corpses everywhere, accompanied by grim laughter and crying and howling.

Yuan Datou walked out of the room with satisfaction while wearing clothes, ignoring the faint crying sounds from the room behind him.

Yuan Datou's original name was Yuan Goudan. Because he was very big, he had the nickname of Yuan Datou since he was a child. Even after joining the bandits, the nickname was always with him. Because he dared to charge and fight when fighting fiercely, he was highly appreciated by Li Guo and was soon promoted from a miscellaneous soldier to a commander (equivalent to the guerrilla of the Ming army).

Since Li Yan joined Li Zicheng's command, he immediately showed his value.

The bandits before, including Gao Yingxiang, can be said to be a group of mobs at all, and there is no military discipline at all.

Among the bandits, except for the King of Chuang, who is equivalent to the leader of the martial arts world, the others are all big and small leaders. When they fight, they just go to the crowd and flee in a crowd when they are defeated. The war pattern is not much different from the gangsters on the street.

After Li Yan arrived, all this changed. First, Li Yan suggested to Li Zicheng to reform the military system and divide the entire army into five battalions: Zhongji, Left Splash (Auxiliary), Right Wing, Forward, and Backstabbing. Each battalion is led by a general, and the general is divided into official positions such as Duwei, brigade, headquarters, and post command.

In this way, the bandits finally got rid of the serious habits of the world in the past and gradually developed into regularity. Although it is still very imperfect at present, it is much stronger than the messy model in the past.

Li Zicheng was very happy about this, but Li Yan also offended many people in the process of implementing regularization, especially those bandits from the old camp. They were used to being free and free, and they became increasingly disgusted with the military discipline formulated by Li Yan, and some people even went to Li Zicheng to openly oppose the increasingly strict military discipline.

Yuan Datou is the person who opposes the most fiercely.

He has always been known for his bad temper and is most disgusted with the current military discipline. However, in the past, Li Zicheng, Li Guo and others suppressed him but did not dare to be too presumptuous. But this time, when he led the army alone to fight, he finally felt free and immediately issued an order not to seal the sword for three days after taking over Taihu County. With the issuance of this order, the people of Taihu County were immediately affected. In just one night, thousands of people died tragically under the sword of the bandits, and countless women were ruined by the bandits.

The satisfied sucker walked out of the room and came to the yard. He saw that the huge yard was still quiet and empty, and there was not even a single person to keep watch.

Seeing this, his anger immediately surged: "Damn, are you dead? Why can't you see anyone? Get out of here!"

After a while, he saw a disheveled bandit running out of a room inside. After seeing Yuan Datou, he quickly nodded and bowed to him, "Head, what are you asking for? "

"Where are you dead? Where are the people who are watching outside?" Yuan Datou pulled out a whip from his waist and slapped it, cursing as he slapped: "If someone came to attack last night, all of us would be devils, do you know?"

Seeing the whip coming, the bandit dared not hide, so they could only bear it. He smiled and said with apologies: "Boss, don't worry, now the Taihu City is full of our people. It's too late for those waste soldiers from Jiangnan to hide. Which one dares to attack us?"

The sucker stared at the bandits and didn't say anything. He kept looking at him and said in a slight sense: "What if the Jiangning Army is coming, do you think they dare?"

"this……"

The bandit was stunned for a moment, then said embarrassedly: "No, as the saying goes, killing people is just a lie. Aren't we already hiding from them? They can't ignore the loyalty of the world, right?"

"You fucking..."
