Hearing Sheng Zhongquan mention this stubble, Liu Zeqing's expression suddenly distorted a little: "Master Shan, Mr. Dongshan!" This time, we were deceived by Qin Xia Xiao'er like this, this tone, we can't just endure it anyway! ”
After speaking, Liu Zeqing took another deep breath and said, "Who doesn't know now that those three thousand soldiers can fight in addition to one hundred knights, and only one or two hundred foot soldiers?" This envoy surnamed Qin deceived us out of how much silver. Now, I'm dying of even my Shandong town. Master Shan, Mr. Higashiyama, can you swallow this breath? ”
It is not only a breath that cannot be swallowed, but also countless benefits and benefits.
Listening to Liu Zeqing's words, Sheng Zhongquan suddenly remembered the trouble after he illegally transferred the 30,000 taels in the state capital's treasury out of the district. Mr. Dongshan, Yang Chuan, even remembered how painful he was after handing over 20,000 miles of silver and 10,000 stone rice.
Who can swallow this breath at the thought of this?
"This time...... I prepared 20,000 taels of silver for Liu Junmen to pay for the military and reward people's hearts. As long as Liu Junmen can clean up the thief Qin Xia, he will share the benefits of the Linqing Tax Division! Yang Chuan gritted his teeth and said.
Sheng Zhongquan also said quietly: "I will also be active in Jinan, so as not to make Qin Xia feel good." Advantage...... This official is going to be transferred anyway, and he doesn't care about the long-term benefits of the tax division. All you need is to make up for my losses when the time comes! ”
Hearing this, Liu Zeqing suddenly smiled ruthlessly and said, "Okay! Waited on the boat and arrived at the Yellow River. Qin Xia will find that he has made a fatal mistake. The best 100 cavalry can't be used on the river, it's equivalent to cutting off an arm! The so-called 3,000 elite soldiers are all civilian men who have only been trained for a few days, and only a hundred or so guards can fight, how can they withstand it...... A roadblock on the Yellow River? ”
May 13 of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty.
Outside the city of Kaifeng, the peasant barracks are connected, like a winding mountain range. Li Zicheng is known as a million, although there is a lot of moisture. But at a cursory glance, the entire field of vision is full of people. There are no millions, but hundreds of thousands. At the head of the city, Zhu Gongyu, the king of Zhou, who was watching this scene, looked silent and was silent for a long time.
On the side, Henan Governor Gao Mingheng, Inspector Su Jing, Zuo Buzheng Liang Bing, Shoudao Su Zhuang, Supervisor Dao Guo Zaijiao, and Prefect Wu Shijiao hugged aside, all silently. Here, it can be said that the bureaucrats of Kaifeng City have been concentrated.
Without him, because the commander of the Central Plains war situation in the city, the supervisor Ding Qirui, after learning that the imperial court intended to release Hou Sui, he immediately beat like chicken blood, and frequently wrote to Yang Wenyue, who would suppress the peasant army outside the city.
Maybe the pressure from the imperial court is too great, or maybe Yang Wenyue is indeed a loyal person. In short, Yang Wenyue really brought his general Hu Dawei, the chief officer of Shanxi Town, to aid Kaifeng. Affected by this, under the strict orders of the imperial court and Ding Qirui's several attempts, Zuo Liangyu, the general of the Ping Thief, also began to lead the army.
These two generals came, and the rest of the generals, Yang Dezheng and Fang Guoan, also led troops to help.
At this point, the vanguard of the official army has arrived at Zhuxian Town outside Kaifeng City.
Supposedly, this is good news.
But Zhu Gongyu, the king of Zhou, still didn't look very good.
Seeing this, Gao Mingheng, the governor of Henan, said with relief: "Your Highness." Now there are soldiers from our province in the city, and the morale is sufficient. Everyone in the city knows that His Royal Highness is an enlightened and virtuous king, and everyone guards the city with all their hearts. In this battle situation, His Highness does not need to worry. ”
On Gao Mingheng's side, Chen Yongfu, the Henan commander-in-chief on the side of the generals, Zhang Wurui, the Henan Metropolitan Division, and Ren Zhen and Su Jianle, a local Henan general, heard the words and shouted: "Your Highness, there is a general." The thieves don't have the ability to break through the plan! ”
Zhu Gongqi looked in the direction of Zhu Xianzhen from afar, as if he saw the mighty demeanor of nearly 200,000 officers and soldiers.
Thinking of this, Zhu Gongyu chuckled and said, "Although Lone is a prince, he doesn't want to interfere in military affairs. I've been watching it for a long time today, but I'm just thinking that my Ming officers and soldiers have come to help. There is hope for this Kaifeng to break the siege, so Lone is very happy. ”
When Gao Mingheng heard this, he smiled and didn't speak. Of course, he knew that Zhu Gongyu was not telling the truth. But for the sake of people's morale, everyone is lying these days.
Don't say anything else......
His teammates are here, but Ding Qirui is still nesting in the city, how will this battle be fought?
Just when Gao Mingheng was thinking a little far in his heart, Chen De, the son of Chen Yongfu, hurriedly shouted: "Your Highness, your lords. The thieves are back! Retreat! ”
Chen De said, and the entire city suddenly became chaotic.
Everyone stuck their heads out, as if they could see more clearly.
Outside the city, the peasant army with a mountain of companies and camps was indeed crowded more frequently.
Not long after, a young general rushed to the head of the city and shouted at Chen Yongfu: "My lord, the thieves have retreated. Watching his actions, his subordinates seem to have assembled the main force to go to Zhuxian Town! ”
"Kaifeng, it's saved!" Liang Bing, the political envoy of Henan, shouted happily.
Patrol Su Jing, Shoudao Su Zhuang, Jian Jun Dao Guo Zaijiao and prefect Wu Shijiao all had happy faces.
"The thief is afraid!"
"The 20th National Army is coming to help, how can you not be afraid? It seems that we can hurry up and open the river to transport money and food into the city! ”
"Yes, yes! Restore the message with Hebei as soon as possible, and the thieves of Li Yan's department in the east will also be suppressed, so as to transport the river! ”
……
The crowd chattered and chattered.
But no one noticed that at some point, Zhu Gongfang, the king of Zhou, hurriedly went down to the city with an embarrassed face.
Behind him, Gao Mingheng hurriedly followed.
He guessed Zhu Gongqi's direction.
"Swing, Governor's Mansion!"
……
Dongming County.
At this moment, the county town is in chaos, and it is noon, but the whole county is quiet. Occasionally, there was a sound, and it was also the sound of horses' hooves.
In the past, the most lively and prosperous cross street is now not a stall of ordinary people, and occasionally out of the walk, are some men and women in tattered clothes, cotton armor and spears. Among the men and women, they are basically dressed as common people, and occasionally there are shabby military uniforms and bright armor. The only thing that was the same was that all the men and women walking on the street carried spears and knives with thin blue bands tied around their arms.
Suddenly, several soldiers dressed in old-fashioned Ming army cotton armor smelled the fragrance in the air and spotted the smoke in the middle of an alley, and then there was a sound of slamming the door. This was followed by high-pitched screams and angry shouts of killing.
The sound only lasted for less than a moment before it returned to silence.
At this point, there are fewer people on the streets.
Only in the county office, in an elegant and clean courtyard, people come and go, and they are all laughing.
The people who came and went were all sergeants, almost all of them were dressed in armor and sharp, either with fierce faces, or strong men with big waists and full faces, and their exits were all foul-mouthed. What is rare is that the pair of men and women who are surrounded by everyone and complimented at the top are different from those strong men in armor.
This is actually a man dressed in a straight shirt and wearing a square scarf and looking like a scholar.
