Chapter 151: Take Qingyuan City
In the meeting room in the front hall of the General Office of Guangzhou City
Li Shuyao, the general of the Guangzhou garrison, and He Nian, the governor of Liangguang, were discussing with the generals in Guangzhou how to exterminate Zhang Rui and his gang.
Year of the Crane, Ilgen Jue Luo, the word Zhixian, Manchuria inlaid with the Blue Banner, the first year of Qianlong, the Jinshi, the selection of Jishi, the review, and the public middle school leader, the three relocation of the cabinet bachelor.
According to the historical trajectory, the Year of the Crane should not be officially promoted to the governor of Liangguang until August of the 22nd year of Qianlong. Then, after only a few months of Crane Year, he died in office.
At this time, why aren't Yang Yingju and Sitku here?
Sitku was really afraid of Zhang Rui after he was captured for the second time, so he immediately went to raise money after returning to the city of Guangzhou, and left Guangzhou in a hurry after getting back the note. He declared to the outside world that he could not live up to the emperor's grace and that he would rush to take office as soon as possible.
Yang Yingju was not the governor of Liangguang at this time, but became the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang as in history.
Since Yang Yingju was captured by Zhang Rui for the first time, he knew that Zhang Rui was not a good person. Although Yang Yingju is not good at fighting, he still has the ability to be an official. So after Yang Yingju was captured for the first time, he began to operate with the high-ranking officials in the capital and transferred himself out of Guangzhou.
Under Yang Yingju's large amount of silver, when Zhang Rui attacked Zhaoqing City, he received an order from the imperial court. Originally, Qianlong had a lot of complaints about Yang Yingju's failure to kill Zhang Rui, but considering the opinions of many ministers, he still agreed to Yang Yingju's transfer.
Yang Yingju, who received the appointment, naturally went to work without saying a word. was able to leave at this time, Yang Yingju didn't have any nostalgia, he just regretted that he couldn't leave with Li Kaifu, but Yang Yingju also gave Li Kaifu a lot of silver.
"Newspaper, General, Governor, Lords. There is a messenger from Qingyuan City coming to report outside, do you want to let him in? "The guards guarding the door entered the report.
"Let him in!" The old crane replied
"Huh." The guards kowtowed to Crane Nian and Li Shiyao who were sitting in the hall, and then retreated.
After a short while, a messenger knelt down in front of Li Shiyao and said, "Report, General, Governor, Lords. Qingyuan City has been anti-thief, and the anti-thief is coming to Guangzhou City at this time, please make a decision as soon as possible. ”
"Got it, you go down!" Li Shiyao, who heard the news, pretended to be calm and said
"Huh." The messenger bowed to them and then withdrew.
After the messenger went out, Li Shiyao stood up from the chair in the hall and asked the generals in the hall: "You also know the situation, how to exterminate Zhang Rui's group now?" ”
After Li Shiyao finished speaking, the people below began to talk about it.
Li Shiyao looked at the talk below, and it was not easy to say that they didn't understand the rules. After all, these are a group of martial artists, where do they know so much etiquette.
"Tsuru-sama, what do you think?" Li Shiyao looked at the elderly crane who was sitting calmly in the hall at this moment, and couldn't help asking
"General Li, you know that too. I'm having a hard time walking now, let alone killing enemies, and I'll support you if you see what you think. Crane Year said seriously
"Then thank Governor Crane first." Li Shiyao said gratefully
At this point, the following discussion seems to have come to fruition.
"General, we've thought about it. If we want to defeat these thieves, it is really difficult for us to defeat them with our current forces, and we feel that we should gather more men. Geng Shangzhi said directly to Li Shiyao
As for Geng Shangzhi's statement, the generals below echoed it.
At the same time, Niu Lumu (1), the deputy general of the Guangzhou City Green Battalion, also said:
"General, Your Excellency the Governor. We think it's best to wait for the anti-thieves to come and attack us in Guangzhou City, and let the people transferred from outside come to join forces with the outside and give the anti-thieves a 'dumpling'. In this way, even if the thief really has the ability to reach the sky, there is no doubt about it. ”
"Wonderful, that's a good idea. I have you in the Qing Dynasty, so I am not afraid of the existence of these thieves. After hearing Niu Lumu's words, Crane Nian couldn't help but praise.
"Thank you, Lord Governor, for the compliment." Niu Lumu listened to the words of the Year of the Crane, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and thanked him.
"Vice Admiral Niu is polite, hurry up!" Crane Year was very satisfied with Niu Lumu's reaction.
If people like this in the past would not be like this, no wonder everyone wants to be promoted, and sure enough, this right is addictive.
"Your Excellency Governor." Niu Lumu bowed again and got up and returned to his position.
"Well, Vice Admiral Niu's proposal is really good. Do you have any suggestions? Li Shiyao also affirmed Niu Lumu's words, and asked again at the same time.
Li Shiyao's question was quickly answered, but the generals answered some suggestions about defending the city.
Decided at the meeting. This time, Li Shiyao once again mobilized the Shaozhou Mansion, and the Huizhou Mansion had a total of 60,000 soldiers and horses from the Chaozhou Mansion, and rushed to the outside of Guangzhou as soon as possible.
When the anti-thief Zhang Rui besieged the city of Guangzhou, he launched an attack on the anti-thief Zhang Rui's men and horses, and he must solve this gang of anti-thieves in a battle.
This transfer of people is not without danger, but no one will think about it.
If Zhang Rui is not defeated this time, or even defeated, then the entire Guangdong Province will be in a place where there are no soldiers to defend.
However, it is too risky compared to the risk. After all, no one doubted that Zhang Rui could not be defeated in this way, and no one would bring it up.
In Qingyuan City, after Wu Sanshui was defeated by Zhang Rui, he really went back to the temple to ask the mage to do it.
When Zhang Rui led the bandit army to besiege Qingyuan City, Wu Sanshui found that the methods made by those mages were useless.
Since Qingyuan City was transferred a large number of troops by Li Shiyao, its defensive strength has been unexpectedly thin. Especially after Wu Sanshui saw Zhang Rui's siege methods, the siege did not last long, and Wu Sanshui came out and surrendered.
Qingyuan City fought for half an hour, and this victory greatly boosted the confidence of the bandit army. Now, no one in the Green Battalion who surrendered doubts the ability of the bandit army.
The bandit army captured Qingyuan City, stayed for only a few hours and left a small number of men and horses, and then set off for Guangzhou City.
The victory of the army was too easy, which made Zhang Rui a little worried, but the recruits trained now have not come out, so they can only rely on the surrendered green battalion soldiers to support the façade.
The more than 2,000 green battalion soldiers in Qingyuan City were all taken by Zhang Rui to Guangzhou City, and the green battalion soldiers in Qingyuan City did not have too many objections to this. One didn't dare, and the other didn't doubt that they wouldn't be able to beat Guangzhou City.
After seeing the siege methods of the bandit army.
At this time, if it weren't for the ban on gambling in the bandit army, these green battalion soldiers in Qingyuan City would even bet that they could take Guangzhou City within a few hours.
