Chapter 196: Qin Liangyu, a strange woman through the ages

***

Shu brocade robes are cut from themselves,

The peach blossoms are immediately pleased.

How many strange men are there in the world,

Who is willing to travel thousands of miles on the battlefield?

Chongzhen rarely wrote poetry in his life, and after ascending the throne, he dreamed of sleeping at night, being diligent and thrifty, dedicated to politics, and did not have the leisure to write poetry.

In December of the second year of Chongzhen (1629), the Qing soldiers made a detour to Xifengkou, captured Zunhua, and arrived at the city of Beijing. In the following year, he went east to capture the three cities of Yongping, Luanzhou, and Qian'an, and the situation was extremely dangerous. Emperor Chongzhen hurriedly issued an edict to recruit the world's soldiers and horses.

When Qin Liangyu heard the news, he quickly "became a monk and made money", and led the white pole soldiers to the north. At that time, more than 100,000 officers and soldiers from all over the country were stationed in the area of Jimen, watching each other and cowering.

Duqin Liangyu's troops took the lead in attacking bravely, and later, with the cooperation of friendly forces, they struggled to recover Yongping, Zunhua and other four cities, and lifted the threat of Qing troops to Beijing.

For this reason, Emperor Chongzhen summoned the legendary female general Qin Liangyu on the platform. After seeing the female generals, and then comparing the generals of the Ming Dynasty who were defeated again and again, Emperor Chongzhen was full of emotion, and this poem broke out. and copied it personally and gave it to Qin Liangyu.

Qin Liangyu's military exploits are far more than these, when she was young, she began to fight with her husband Ma Qiancheng, quelled Yang Yinglong's rebellion, and made great achievements, after her husband's death, she led her children to expedition to Liaodong, and the Jurchen had many bloody battles, among which the history of the battle of Hunhe in the first year of the Apocalypse was recorded as "the first bloody battle since Liaozuo used troops".

In September of the same year, Qin Liangyu returned to Sichuan Ping Yongning to appease the rebellion of Chongming, and moved to Chongqing, Chengdu and Luzhou to recover the new capital. In the second year of the Apocalypse, he led the white pole soldiers to relieve the siege of Chengdu. Return to Keerlang Pass, Fotu Pass, and return to Chongqing. and defeated Yongning Luxury Chongming in the third year of the Apocalypse and pacified the whole Sichuan; In the same year, the "Shofan Rebellion" was put down.

In the third year of Chongzhen, Wang Yanjing was the northern division of the army, and the four cities of Yongping and Zunhua were recovered.

In the fourth year of Chongzhen, Qin Liangyu led the white pole soldiers in the battle to defend the Daling River. Rebuild the "first merit".

In the seventh year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan, Qin Liangyu and his son Ma Xianglin, who happened to return to Sichuan, attacked back and forth, defeated Zhang Xianzhong in Kuizhou, and made him retreat to Huguang.

In the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, Luo Rucai committed Sichuan, Qin Liangyu led the troops, Luo Rucai was frightened, turned around and fled, Qin Liangyu led the white pole soldiers to pursue. Inflicted heavy losses on Luo Rucai's rebels in Wushan and Kuizhou. and take it from the throne. Capture the canal and collapse the sky.

This legendary heroine has fought all her life, and is now seventy years old, with gray hair, hearing that Li Zicheng captured Shaanxi, Zhang Xianzhong invaded Sichuan again, when Sichuan survived, she immediately presented the "Situation Map of the Whole Shu" to Chen Shiqi, the governor of Sichuan, hoping that the official army could increase the troops to hold the thirteen dangerous passes in Shu, Chen Shiqi did not accept.

Qin Liangyu did not give up. He also suggested to Liu Zhibo, the Sichuan Patrol, who agreed with her plan, but he himself had no troops to send. Qin Liangyu had no choice but to rush to Kuizhou with three thousand white pole soldiers.

The white-pole soldiers got their name because they used white-pole spears, which were weapons created by Qin Liangyu according to the local topography. It is made of sturdy white wood (no need to be dyed) as a long pole, with a bladed hook on the top and a hard iron ring on the bottom, and it is used in battle. The hook can be cut and pulled, and the ring can be used as a hammer weapon, if necessary. Dozens of spears hooked and looped together, can be used as a tool to climb over the mountain and the wall, and the cliff can be climbed instantly, which is very suitable for mountain combat.

At that time, Qin Liangyu led a similar army to participate in the battles of Pingbo, Pingluxury, Aid Liao, Anti-Qing Dynasty, King Qin, and Suppression of Bandits, and won great meritorious service. It's just that there have been bloody battles for decades, and I don't know how many white pole soldiers have been buried in other places, and the soldiers have been replaced one after another.

Perhaps, this is a zuihou batch.

Qin Liangyu was dedicated to the country, and led 3,000 soldiers to Kuizhou. Immediately seize the Kuizhou pass, she fought all her life, familiar with military affairs, this time she did not stick to the city, but to fight for the mountain and seize the danger, this is definitely a very wise choice, her white pole soldiers are mostly Xitong mountain people, over the mountains and mountains such as walking on flat ground, used to fight for the mountains and dangers, can maximize the combat power to play. Once trapped in an isolated city, it is difficult to give full play to your strengths.

Moreover, when the enemy is outnumbered and there are no reinforcements behind, giving up maneuvering and trapping a lonely city is a dead end.

Qin Liangyu's decision was right, but the north wind was very cold, the mountains were reckless, the heavens and the earth were so solemn, and a bleak scene of the unborn made people feel cold in their bones.

The 300,000 rebels under the mountain are like waves, and the roar of people and horses is like a stormy wave crashing on the shore.

And looking at the whole of Sichuan, she was the only one who was an old woman in her seventies, with 3,000 soldiers to meet Zhang Xianzhong

Where have all the people gone?

In the land of Sichuan and Shu, there are countless soldiers and civilians, and officials are all over the land, where have the people gone?

Why is there only one gray-haired old woman left, with 3,000 soldiers, holding out here?

Three thousand against 300,000, take a step back, the door of Sichuan will be open at the feet of the rebels, take a step back, and 230,000 rebels will drown Sichuan like a surging tide.

Looking at the hundreds of miles and boundless rebels under the dangerous pass, the hearts of the three thousand white-pole soldiers were extremely sad, looking at the white-haired background in front of them, each of the soldiers couldn't help shedding tears, and some even couldn't help crying, they were not afraid of death, but at this moment they didn't know who they were dying for, and they didn't know why they had to die so sadly. O God! How so?

"Crying for what?" Qin Liangyu took out the sword given by the emperor and pointed to the bottom of the mountain, and said resolutely, "My brothers and sisters are both dead, and my son Xianglin was also martyred in Xiangyang. ”

"Auntie!" Qin Ming, a cousin standing next to him, said sadly, "We are not afraid of death, my Qin family and the Ma family have dozens of martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country, how can my nephew and others insult the martyrs' reputation?" It's just that aunt, you have fought for the country all your life, and now you are seventy years old, so let's go back to Shiqi first, and this battle will be handed over to my nephew. ”

"Although I, Qin Liangyu, am a woman, I have been fighting for many years and have never flinched, how can I abandon the festival and live alone when I reach Zuihou? Ming'er doesn't need to say much, prepare for war! ”

Qin Ming was choked up for a while, he knew that it was useless to persuade him, so he wiped away his tears with the three thousand soldiers, clenched the white-pole gun, and looked at the bottom of the mountain with a gradually firm gaze, seeing death as if he were at home.

Waves of rebels rushed up, and the shouts of hundreds of thousands of people rose to the sky, as if they were overwhelming.

On the top of the mountain, the old woman planted the royal treasure on the ground, and personally stepped forward to beat the war drums, the mountain wind blew her red cloak and pale hair, even if it was three thousand against three hundred thousand, even if there was not a single soldier behind her to help, even if she had changed from a heroic heroine to a drooping old white-haired old woman, the beating of the drum was still enough to shock the earth and tremble the enemy.

At least Zhang Xianzhong under the mountain did not dare to have the slightest contempt, he was a defeated general under Qin Liangyu, and he was expelled by Qin Liangyu for the first time when he entered Sichuan.

This time, Qin Liangyu laid down three lines of defense on the mountain, and Zhang Xianzhong gave up the four major town generals Zhang Kewang, Zhang Wenxiu, Zhang Dingguo, and Zhang Nengqi to lead 20,000 people to launch a wheel war, fighting for one defense line after another.

The first to attack was Zhang Nengqi, who was the most fierce in battle. Under his leadership, 20,000 rebels shouted and charged towards the mountain, and when they looked down from the sky, it was like a black torrent rolling towards the mountain.

The white-pole soldiers on the mountain pushed down the haode stones, and the rumbling sound was non-stop, smashing the rebels who rushed up on their backs to the point of flesh and blood, and howling miserably, but there were too many rebels, and a group of dead people rushed up again, and all kinds of fire guns were constantly ringing, and the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and finally they rushed to the front of the first line of defense.

As soon as the sound of Qin Liangyu's drums on the mountain changed, the thousand white-pole soldiers of the first line of defense immediately jumped up, shouting and swooping down, they ran through the mountains like walking on flat ground, agile as monkeys, and the white-pole guns in their hands stabbed and slashed, turning the mountain into a flesh slaughterhouse, with blood into streams and corpses into walls.

The first wave of the rebels' onslaught was repulsed, and then another group of men continued to attack, Zhang Xianzhong did not hesitate to exchange ten for one, grabbing the defensive line on the mountain one by one.

After all, the white pole soldiers are not iron-clad, and after a fierce battle for half a day, there is no chance to rest at all, and the disparity in strength is huge, it is inevitable to take care of one or the other, and the defense line is finally broken one by one.

The white-haired Qin Liangyu saw the rebels getting closer and closer, the three thousand soldiers fell one by one, the blue blood stained the mountain, and even the sky became solemn, she couldn't help but ooze two lines of muddy tears in her eyes, holding the sword given by the emperor, knelt down tremblingly to the north, looked at the solemn sky and shouted sadly: "Bixia, please forgive the ministers for their incompetence, ministers, Qin Liangyu, today is loyal to the Ming Dynasty!" ”
