Chapter 250: Recovering Guilin

After receiving Ma Xiong's invitation letter, Ma Xiongzhen, Dai Liangchen, Xu Hongzhen, Liu Xianting and other Kong Sizhen's cronies and lackeys or civil and military officials who were loyal to the Qing court were invited to Ma Xiong's mansion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ma Xiong and Ma Xiong Town, the difference between the names of the two people is one word, but they are the civil and military giants of Guangxi at this time, Ma Xiong is the admiral, and Ma Xiongzhen is the governor. After receiving Ma Xiong's invitation letter, Ma Xiongzhen knew that the Ming army would soon arrive in Guilin, and he thought that Ma Xiong wanted him to cooperate with the recruitment of Minzhuang and discuss the matter of defending the city, so he rushed to Ma Xiong's mansion.

"Ma Futai!" Ma Xiong arched his hand.

"Ma Junmen!" Ma Xiongzhen also returned the salute.

"Please!" Ma Xiong made a gesture of please.

When everyone entered the Ma Xiong Mansion, the soldiers at the door closed the gate, the vermilion gate inlaid with copper nails slowly closed, and all the Qing court officials who entered the mansion became turtles in the urn, waiting for the sisters and brothers of the Lian family to take them down.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Ma Xiong stood up with a wine glass.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" Ma Xiong took the wine glass and turned around, "Now the puppet Ming rebels are about to come to Guilin City, and this Guilin City is already in danger!" Today, Ma gives you a drink! ”

After Ma Xiong finished saying these incoherent words, he craned his neck and drank it all.

Everyone was confused: Guilin is in danger, what does it have to do with Ma Xiong's toast? However, out of politeness, Ma Xiongzhen and the others also took their wine glasses and drank them all.

"Everyone is here!" A woman's crisp voice came from behind the tent.

Everyone looked up and saw a soft-looking woman in white walking out slowly, followed by a young general in white robes. Ma Xiongzhen recognized these two people, the daughter and son of the old admiral Lian Guoan. But what is strange is that the young man is obviously a little murderous, his eyes are fierce, and his face is angry, which makes Ma Xiongzhen gasp.

"Miss Cable! Straight Boy! Ma Xiongzhen stood up and gave up.

The two siblings were not guarding their father's coffin, but they appeared here, which was really a little incomprehensible, but since they came, Ma Xiongzhen still stood up and saluted.

But when he heard Lian Chengren clapping his hands, the side tent collapsed, more than two hundred armor were distinct, and the guards of the Lianfu Mansion with sharp blades rushed out from both sides with murderous energy, and the hall was in chaos.

"You guys? What are you going to do? Ma Xiongzhen trembled, and pointed at the Lianjia sisters and brothers with trembling fingers.

Miss Lian said: "Everyone, now Kong Sizhen's army has defeated Xinhui, Nanning has been lost, Liuzhou has been lost, Guangxi Tusi has rebelled, Yungui and Wu Sangui are ready to move, and the Ming army's firearms are sharp and invincible, even the most elite Eight Banners cavalry in the imperial court is vulnerable in front of the Ming army's firearms!" Do you think Guilin can still defend it? ”

Ma Xiongzhen was stunned for a moment, then understood, and secretly said in his heart: It seems that the two sisters and brothers have already colluded with Ma Xiong, and they want to rebel! So he shouted solemnly: "I'm waiting for the matter of the king's loyalty!" Whether this Guilin can be guarded or not, a certain must be guarded! A certain is willing to live and die with Guilin City! You and other villains, the court treats you well, why do you rebel? ”

Miss Lian said: "My father has already driven to the west, and our sister and brother don't want to die in Guilin in vain!" Now that the situation in the Qing Dynasty has deteriorated, when will it be better to abandon the darkness and turn to the light? ”

Dai Liangchen stood up, pointed at the sisters and brothers of the Lian family and reprimanded sharply: "You and other sisters and brothers, Ling Zun is the general under the command of the old king of Dingnan!" Ling Zun is loyal to the old prince, but he gave birth to you two unfilial sons and daughters who are ungrateful! This is the misfortune of the old admiral's family! If your sister and brother are willing to get lost and know their way back, today's events will be treated as if they never happened! The old man will not play in the court! In the future, you and the two will still be loyal to the court! ”

"Ungrateful? Bah! Lian Chengren roared angrily, "Dai Liangchen, you dog slave listen to it today!" Who is ungrateful? It's your master, Kong Sizhen, who is ungrateful! Back then, the old father rescued her Kong Sizhen from the old thief, and sent loyal soldiers to escort Kong Sizhen and the old prince's coffin to the capital! But how did Kong Sizhen treat her father? When she returned to Guangxi, she cut Guangxi's military salary and drove her father out of Guilin! has repeatedly found excuses to deduct military salaries! Let the more than 10,000 brothers under my father's command be happy! My father had no choice but to dismiss most of the brothers and let them return to the fields! If it weren't for Kong Sizhen's bent desire to cut down the feudal domain and suppress his father, why would the situation in Guangxi fester? Kong Sizhen is not good at leading troops, but he has to be strong, Xinhui battle, how many Guangxi disciples died tragically under Xinhui City? This is all a good thing that Kong Sizhen did! ”

Dai Liangchen was speechless, cutting the feudal domain was something that Kong Sizhen did according to Bumu Butai's request. When Shunzhi was still alive, he only gradually reduced the salaries and troops of the four feudatories. Later, Kong Youde died, and the Qing court did not restore the king of Dingnan. After the death of Shunzhi, Bumu Butai uprooted the three feudatories.

Just imagine, if the three feudatories were not cut, how much military pay would the imperial court spend every year to support them? Because of the big tail of the three feudatories, the hardcore crops of the children of the Eight Banners have been affected, and if the money saved by cutting the three feudatories is invested in the children of the Eight Banners, they can make their lives even better!

Miss Lian's face was like frost, and she asked coldly, "Dai Liangchen, you have nothing to say, right?" Today, my aunt and grandmother will give you a choice, if you are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, your aunt and grandmother will let you live! If you are obsessed and continue to be a dog for Kong Sizhen, then don't blame your aunt for being ruthless! ”

Dai Liangchen laughed and said: "I, Dai Liangchen, was born as a Qing Dynasty person and died as a Qing Dynasty ghost!" How can you surrender to the thief! ”

"Good! Aunt and grandma will fulfill you! Come! Escort Dai Liangchen down, so that he can be detained! When the Ming Dynasty arrives, Dai Liangchen will be sent up as a vote! Miss Lian snorted.

"Wow!" The two guards stepped forward and twisted Dai Liangchen's arm like a chicken and escorted him down.

Miss Lian turned her head to look at Ma Xiongzhen again: "Master Ma, Kong Sizhen's stinky biao doesn't even dare to come back to Guilin, do you still want to be loyal to a master like her?" ”

"Phew! Thief mother-in-law! Ling Zun was loyal to the court and the old prince back then! But I didn't expect to give birth to your sister and brother, a pair of unfilial children! You are treacherous, disloyal and unfilial, and sooner or later you will be spurned by the world and will be stinking for 10,000 years! Want the old man to surrender? Dream! Ma Xiongzhen yelled.

"Hold on!" Miss Lian shouted angrily.

The rest of Xu Hongzhen, Liu Xianting and others were already frightened and knelt on the ground.

"I'm willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light!" Xu Hongzhen knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Liu Xianting also kowtowed desperately and begged for mercy: "Miss Gongzi spare his life!" The lower officials are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light! ”

After taking down all the Qing court officials in Guilin City, all the defenders in Guilin City were all controlled by the Lianjia sisters and brothers. Next, Miss Lian issued a message: The old father was loyal to the old prince before his death, but Kong Sizhen aided in the abuse and persecuted him repeatedly; The imperial court did whatever it took to cut the feudal domain, repeatedly cut his father's military salary, and Kong Sizhen also drove his father out of Guilin, which made Guangxi's troops insufficient, causing the situation in Guangxi to fester! With such a court, do you still have to work for them?

"It's the other way around! It's the other way around! The children of Guangxi let out a thunderous roar.

Miss Lian had already sent a messenger to Liuzhou to make contact with Bai Wenxuan's army.

"The old general died of illness, and this clan was also shocked when he heard about it! I didn't expect the old general Hero I, but because of Kong Sizhen's step-by-step pressing, he ended up depressed, which is really a pity! It is also a pity that this clan has not been able to distinguish between the old general and the old general on the battlefield! Bai Wenxuan opened the letter, sighed and said after reading it.

Although Lian Guoan is an enemy, he is indeed a famous general, but such a general has been suppressed by the Qing court, not only can not be reused, but has been cut again and again, and finally even had to resign from the position of commander. Now that Lian Guoan has passed away, Bai Wenxuan feels unworthy for him.

"Now that the situation is clear, the little master and the young lady of the last general are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light!" The person who came arched his hand.

Bai Wenxuan said: "Miss Lian and Gongzi are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, this is my blessing of the Ming Dynasty!" Good! When we arrived in Guilin, we joined forces and pointed to Huguang! ”

When the Ming army arrived at the city of Guilin, the green flag of the Qing army in the green camp at the head of the city had long been torn off, and what hung high at the head of the city was a bright red Ming battle flag. The Ming army got Guilin without much effort, and also got more than 5,000 green battalion soldiers, more than 3,000 auxiliary soldiers and more than 10,000 people.

In addition, what made Bai Wenxuan excited was that the large and small Tusi of Guangxi came to vote one after another, and a total of more than 5,000 wolf soldiers joined the Ming army, and there were more than 3,000 auxiliary soldiers.

So far, the strength of the Ming army in Guangxi has reached more than 20,000 soldiers, more than 15,000 auxiliary soldiers and more than 20,000 people, and the total strength has reached more than 50,000.

After the sisters and brothers of the Lian family surrendered, Bai Wenxuan later played a petition, and the Yongli Emperor issued an edict to seal Chengren as the king of Nanning, Ma Xiong as the governor of Guangxi, and Miss Lian as the general of Guangxi, Shaobao, Mrs. Yipin and other titles.

In fact, Miss Lian is also a female general, in real history, during the rebellion of the three feudatories, Lian Chengren raised troops against the Qing Dynasty, and her sister commanded behind the scenes. Later, because of Kong Sizhen, Sun Yanling was capricious and was killed by Wu Sangui. Later, under a series of operations by Fu Honglie, the Lian family brothers and sisters surrendered to the Qing court.

But now, Fu Honglie is dead, and a group of Kong Sizhen's henchmen have been wiped out in Guilin, and the sisters and brothers of the Lian family can only follow the Ming army with all their hearts.

After Bai Wenxuan met with Ma Xiongzhen and Dai Liangchen, the two loyal ministers of the Qing court were still scolding, and Bai Wenxuan ordered the two to be pushed out and beheaded.

Besides, Sun Yanling and Kong Sizhen were husband and wife, after they easily got rid of the Ming army's search and arrest and returned to Guangxi, Kong Sizhen, who had a particularly keen sixth sense, seemed to sense that something was wrong, and suddenly changed direction and fled to Hunan, which avoided her going to Guangxi to throw herself into the net.

If Sun Yanling and Kong Sizhen arrived in Guilin, they would definitely be detained by the Lianjia brothers and sisters and given to Bai Wenxuan as a certificate of nomination. The fate after that will be: Sun Yanling, who is greedy for life and afraid of death, will definitely surrender, and Kong Sizhen, who is loyal to Bumu Butai, will definitely not surrender. Maybe Bai Wenxuan will let her live because she is a woman, but he will also imprison her, or simply hand over Kong Sizhen to Wu Sangui to deal with.

Because of Kong Sizhen's keen sixth sense, she was lucky to avoid the tragic end of the husband and wife from saying goodbye forever, and the couple fled to Hunan alone.

……

In Guangzhou, a series of good news such as the capture of Liuzhou City by the Ming army and the Tusi of Guangxi rising against the Qing Dynasty were sent to Guangzhou one after another. Although the news that the Ming army had obtained Guilin City had not yet arrived because of the speed of traffic, the news that the Lianjia sisters and brothers and Ma Xiong were anti-Qing and ready to sacrifice Guilin City had already arrived.

After Bai Wenxuan received the letter from the sister and brother of the Lian family, he immediately sent a messenger to Guangzhou with an urgent delivery of 600 li. When Bai Wenxuan's army approached the city of Guilin, Wang Xinyu also got the news that the sisters and brothers of the Lian family abandoned the secret and turned to the light.

"Good! That's great! My Wang Shibing can take Guilin without blood, and I can also get countless elite wolf soldiers! Wang Xinyu looked at the letter sent by Bai Wenxuan and applauded again and again.

However, Wang Yuyou was a little worried in his heart: Bai Wenxuan got the Guangxi army again, and got the elite wolf soldiers, plus Bai Wenxuan's own cavalry, elephant soldiers, artillery and firearms army, Bai Wenxuan's strength expanded too quickly, and in the future, this is not good news for the Qiongzhou army.

It's just that the issue of Bai Wenxuan can't be considered for the time being, and the first task at this stage is to send troops to Huguang.

In order to win over the Guangxi army, Wang Yuyou made a suggestion: "I heard that Miss Na Yan is as beautiful as a flower, we can choose a reliable person to marry her." As long as we can win her over, the army in Guangxi will listen to us. ”

There is another sentence that Wang Yuyou didn't say: If you pull the Guangxi army over, you won't be afraid that Bai Wenxuan will become bigger.

At the same time as the main force of the Ming army in Guangzhou attacked Shaozhou, a partial division led by Liu Guoxuan entered Guangxi on a naval ship. Although it is only a partial division, and the banner played is the banner of the king of Yanping County, not the banner of the Qiongzhou army, but I understand that people know in their hearts, in fact, the current king of Yanping County, Zheng Cong, is obedient to Wang Xinyu's brother-in-law, and the two armies have actually merged into one, and the army of the king of Yanping is also Wang Xinyu's army.

Liu Guoxuan's partial division has a neat appearance and excellent weapons.

Originally, when she saw Bai Wenxuan's army, Miss Lian was already very surprised, Bai Wenxuan's army was well-equipped, and both artillery and guns had standard calibers. Miss Lin, who was already proficient in firearms, knew what this meant, and the unified caliber could reduce the logistical pressure, and the firearms soldiers would have time to grind the projectile before the war.

At that time, the caliber of many bird guns was different, and each bird gun hand had to polish the projectile according to the caliber of his bird gun after receiving the projectile, in case there was a projectile that he forgot to polish, he could not be stuffed into the gun tube during wartime. And by unifying the caliber and using fixed-mount paper ammunition, you can save a lot of trouble.

Hearing that Bai Wenxuan's military funding sources were all Nanyang Company, the girl was a little curious in her heart, wanting to see what the king of Nanhai who turned the tide was like.

Seeing Liu Guoxuan's army again, Miss Lian was even more shocked: such a strong army, not only is it well equipped with weapons, but also has strict military discipline, no wonder such an army can defeat the most elite Eight Banners Iron Cavalry of the Qing Army! A person who can train such a strong army must be a hero of the world! (To be continued.) )
