Chapter 19: Loyal Men and Righteous Soldiers
Li Zicheng's Bao Xing swept away the malaise of the Ming Dynasty in the officials and gentry. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
They were all scared.
Not to mention Song Quan and the like, even Wang Yongji, who had been pretending to be dead, did not hesitate to get up, this is actually the guy who first proposed to borrow soldiers, originally after throwing this pot to Wu Sangui in history, he found an excuse to run away, but now he can't run, so he is still the first assistant, but he doesn't want to be the next Wei Zaode, that Wei Zaode is his predecessor, when he thinks of the tragedy of Lao Wei being beaten to death to death his wife Luo corpse and his daughter on the street throwing his son to death for a day and killing his son, he is like being whipped up.
And then immediately after that, he showed his vigorous side.
Collect the grain!
Taking advantage of the fact that Li Zicheng's army had not yet arrived, Wu Sangui's Guanning army under his command persuaded him with a knife to directly loot the grain of the official warehouses and gentry in Lulong, Funing, Changli and other surrounding counties, and transported all of them back to Shanhaiguan and its affiliated cities.
Catch the strong man.
In the same way, the strong men of the counties that can be controlled in the vicinity can catch all the strong men in the hands, a large number of ordnance is stored in Shanhaiguan, and one person is issued with a rusty broken knife, the time has come for you to be loyal to the emperor, and the emperor is watching from behind, in this way, the total strength of Shanhaiguan and the affiliated cities has suddenly increased to 80,000, as for the combat effectiveness......
What kind of combat power do cannon fodder want!
Catch fishermen.
Of course he can think of what Yang Feng can think of.
Without the emperor's teaching, Wang Yongji ordered that all the fishermen in the coastal counties of Yongping and the fishing boats could catch outside the pass, and in order to prevent escape, they also arrested their wives and children, and drove them all to the abandoned castles such as the former place to protect them, and then let those fishermen fish to supply military supplies, and the sailors of the Longwu camp were responsible for taking care of them.
……
In short, the officials and gentry in Shanhaiguan were like winding clockwork, showing the momentum of their money when they were holding money, and entered the state of war as quickly as possible.
These guys have all experienced the war outside the pass, and they have enough experience in this kind of thing, once Li Zicheng's army arrives, Shanhaiguan will definitely fall into a bloody battle, so the more fully prepared before the war, the more calm the wartime, and maybe even survive this pass. Before, they were indeed staggering and preparing to make wall grass, but now it is obvious that this is not a good idea, then Wei Zaode has even done such shameless things as persuading Jin to offer his daughter, but he still can't avoid being caught out of his brain, it can be seen that Li Zicheng is shameless as long as gold and silver, although it is not that he can't surrender, but if he can't surrender, try his best!
Including those landlords and old wealth, Wang Yongji's grain requisition was also positive.
They were also frightened by Li Zicheng, thinking of the suffering that those officials and gentry in Beijing were suffering, they felt that the Holy Lord Mingjun behind the emperor was extremely bright, in the final analysis, it was still the emperor who was good, or the emperor was the relatives of our gentry! Now it's just asking them to take out some food, and it's borrowed, and it's borrowed in the form of returning it tenfold after the holy decree promise and giving them the title of Jinyi Weishi, compared to Li Zicheng's evil deeds of forcing them to bankrupt with a stick, this can simply be described as great.
Besides, didn't you borrow soldiers?
When the Qing soldiers were borrowed to go south to sweep away the rebels and return to the palace, everyone could become a prominent hereditary brocade guard, in the final analysis, it was just to endure temporary difficulties, and as for the food handed over, it was also used to raise soldiers to protect their gold and silver treasures, so it was not too much of a loss.
"Haha, I can't see that the people of Yongping are still very loyal!"
Yang Feng said happily.
Wang Yongji scavenged enough food for him to support three months, so of course he had to be happy, so that his worries were basically gone.
Li Yutian laughed speechlessly.
can say that these wall grasses are so great, and the emperor is also very humorous.
"Your Majesty, Huang Fei's sailor has arrived!"
At this moment, Tang Yu's younger brother, Tang Quan, the deputy general in charge of guarding the center and right office, hurriedly walked up to the city wall and knelt.
Yang Feng basically doesn't go down the city wall now, he eats and lives with the soldiers, and even sleeps in Weiyuanmen, the governor's mansion that originally gave him the palace was directly changed by him to a hospital to house the wounded soldiers, Xiaoqian finally recovered yesterday, and then got him a bunch of sulfonamides, causing Yang Feng to pour a medicine bottle all night, and now more than a thousand wounded soldiers in his hands have used this kind of magic medicine given by Taizu, which makes those subordinates grateful, and they can't wait to get up and go out to kill the emperor now.
Of course, they didn't know that this was just because the emperor really didn't think that he could live in the Weiyuan Gate Tower in the Governor's Mansion and feel comfortable.
"Huang Fei?"
Yang Feng was stunned for a moment.
Although he issued an order to summon King Huang Xuqin, the messenger had just left Shanhaiguan at this time!
Huang Fei is really here.
An hour later, more than 50 warships of the Denglai Navy Division stopped directly at the mouth of the Ningyuan River, and then a civilian official wearing the governor's uniform and two military attachés wearing the general military uniform landed ashore and entered the city, and were brought to Yang Feng to kneel and bow.
"Minister, Tianjin Governor Feng Yuanyang knocks to see Your Majesty."
"Cao Youyi, the chief soldier of Tianjin, knocks to see Your Majesty."
"Chen Denglai's chief soldier Huang Fei knocks to see Your Majesty!"
Yang Feng immediately stepped forward to help Feng Yuanyang and said with satisfaction: "Okay, good, my Ming still has loyal ministers after all." ”
Feng Yuanyang is the governor of Tianjin, after Li Zicheng broke through Beijing, he originally wanted to organize his subordinates to resist, but the original Yuzong coerced him to surrender to Li Zicheng, and he and Cao Youyi, who originally led five hundred soldiers to flee in history, but was intercepted by the original Yuzong and had to flee alone, this time they joined forces, and then grabbed a few ships to escape from Tianjin and went straight to Dengzhou. Feng Yuanyang had heard a little rumor about the emperor before, Yang Feng was so arrogant in Beijing out of the city, of course, it was impossible for no one else to know, so he went to Dengzhou to fool Huang Fei and led the troops to the north to investigate, and met a civilian ship leaving Dagukou halfway, only to learn the exact news that the emperor Taizu possessed and killed Beijing to Shanhaiguan, and after arriving at Shanhaiguan, he knew that the emperor was in Ningyuan, and hurriedly ran to face the saint.
"The ministers implore Your Majesty to board the ship and quickly enjoy Nanjing!"
Feng Yuanyang said on the ground again.
"Nanjing, I won't go to Nanjing, I can't make the people miserable, it's already a sin, how can I abandon the people in the north and flee south, even if I die, I will fight with the traitor in the north to the end, I have decided to imitate the story of Tang Suzong and use the Qing soldiers to suppress the Kou."
Yang Feng said.
"Borrowed soldiers?"
Feng Yuanyang was stunned for a moment.
"Hooray, this must not be done!"
Then he shouted in horror.
"Oh?"
Yang Feng was stunned for a moment.
That's where it gets interesting.
At this time, more than 100 miles away in Jinzhou, this issue is also being discussed.
"Borrowed soldiers? You've just hung thousands of our heads on the city wall, and you're still coming to us to borrow troops to suppress them? ”
Adurie said with a grin.
He actually knew his end very well, after Huang Taiji's death, the two white flags that supported Haoge and supported Dolgon almost caught fire, and he was the most outstanding of the three banners, Dolgon had long thought about finding an opportunity to chop him up, and now this unprecedented fiasco was simply a knife sent to Dolgon, and now he is just waiting for the latter to cut it, in this case, it is needless to say what his feelings are for the culprit Yang Feng.
"If we can't recapture Ningyuan, how can we trust each other?"
Lao Wang said with a smile.
"As for the matter of the dead, this battlefield is willing to gamble and lose, if it is us who loses this battle, our head, not to mention hanging on the city wall, you just take it as a night pot and listen to it, you are all men, I think it will not be smaller than our eunuch, right?"
He went on to say.
"Are you a dead eunuch worthy of being compared to my Manchurian warriors?"
Adori said disdainfully.
As he spoke, he picked up the two letters in front of him.
"That's for your regent."
Lao Wang said.
Adori sneered, then opened the letter to Dolgon, and after reading it, opened it again to Fu Lin, the content of both letters was similar, except that the one for Dolgon added the content of inviting the latter to go south and interview Yang Feng. When he was reading the letter, an officer hurriedly ran in, and then whispered a few words in his ear, Ai Duli's expression changed, and he looked at Wang Chengen with a thoughtful expression, but then he packed the one for Fulin as quickly as possible, called his own Goshha, and then pointed to Yang Kun and Guo Yunlong and said: "Quick, immediately take them out of the east gate to Shengjing, don't stay." ”
Na Goshha hurriedly took Yang Kun and the others out with a dazed face, got on the horse and went straight to Shenyang out of the east gate.
Adori looked at the king.
"That fierce general is really your emperor?"
He sat there without even packing up the letter to Dolgon, looked at Wang Chengen with interest and said.
"That's still fake!"
Wang Chengen said proudly.
"Then how did you get Li Zicheng out of Beijing?"
Edor said.
"Speaking of this, our family is also at a loss!"
Lao Wang said with emotion.
Adori didn't speak again, he sat there with an expression of thinking about life, the old king looked at him a little blankly, and he didn't know how long it was, suddenly Adoli smiled strangely at him, and before the old king could react, he pulled out the saber on the table, and then pulled it across his neck, and the blood shot out like a fountain, and he struggled there wildly, and in the sound of the saber falling to the ground, he lay down on the chair and lost his voice.
"Come on, your general has wiped his neck!"
Lao Wang screamed in horror.
Suddenly, there were countless chaotic footsteps and the sound of iron armor outside, and then a middle-aged man in white cotton armor with a gloomy expression strode in, followed by a large number of officers and soldiers, he stood in front of the door and looked coldly at the dead body of Adori, and waved his hand expressionlessly, and several soldiers immediately stepped forward and dragged the dead body out.
The man walked directly to Adori's chair under the suspicious gaze of Lao Wang, sat down without looking at the blood on the chair, looked at Wang Chengen and said coldly: "This king is the Dolgon you want to see!" ”
