Chapter 5 Chasing Soldiers

Although there were many large and small islands in the Bohai Sea between Jiaodong and Liaodong, Wei Liangchen was not satisfied, because these islands were small in size and not suitable for the development of military ports, and the disadvantages of the wind season were too great, so he ordered the navy to go straight to Jinzhou.

On the 14th, the fleet arrived at Lushunkou through the old Tieshan waterway. This place was originally called the lion's mouth, Hongwu four years Emperor Taizu sent Ma Yun, Ye Wang two generals to lead the army from Shandong across the sea to recover Liaodong, because the sea is smooth sailing, then the lion's mouth was renamed Lushunkou, has been used to this day.

After landing, Wei Liangchen asked Jiang Fangyin and Wang Weidong, who had boarded the ship in Tianjin, to go to the Zhongzuo Institute in Jinzhou, contact the guerrilla Shang Xueli, and ordered the remnants of the Surrender and the Flying Tiger Army to bring them to Lushunkou to board the ship and go south.

Not long after, Wang Weidong came to report urgently, saying that Li Rubai, the seventh son of Li Chengliang, had come to Jinzhou two days ago and brought all the remnants of the Flying Tiger Army to Gaizhou.

Wei Liangchen was shocked and angry when he heard this, and hurriedly led his horse left and right to rush to the left and right of Jinzhou. At that time, Jiang Fangyin was talking with Shang Xueli, because he knew that Jiang Fangyin was the old benefactor's staff, Shang Xueli was very guilty.

"This matter has nothing to do with you, it's all because the Li family is too deceitful..."

Jiang Fangyin comforted a few words, Shang Xueli was just a guerrilla attack on the left side of the center, and Li Ruwu, the seventh son of the Li family, came to mention that people could not resist a small guerrilla. Seeing Wei Liangchen rushing over, he hurriedly stepped forward and explained the situation in detail.

Shang Xueli didn't know Wei Liangchen, but seeing that the other party was a eunuch in the palace, Jiang Fangyin was very respectful to him, and he didn't dare to slack off.

"Bao Chengxian?"

Li Chengliang's seventh son, Li Ruwu, did not let Wei Liangchen change color, but it was Bao Chengxian, the Gaizhou general who helped him, that made Wei Liangchen's eyebrows raised.

There is no other reason, Li Ruwu plays a small role, but this Bao Chengxian is a big name - a big traitor!

Bao Chengxian is quite hateful, even worse than the Sanshun King who descended to the Qing Dynasty during the Apocalypse, because he contributed too much to Manchuria, and his biggest ability is to recruit rebellion.

After his gold was reduced, he served as a deputy general from Zhenghongtai to attack Ming, and followed Jierharang from Longjing Pass to attack Ma Lanyu and recruit the defending generals. When he arrived in Beijing, he recruited the eunuchs of the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the Horse Husbandry Factory, so that thousands of high-quality war horses of the Ming army in Gyeonggi fell into the hands of Manchuria. It is rumored that the idea of killing Yuan Chonghuan by counter-plotting was made by Bao Chengxian.

Bao's status in Manchu is very high, it can be said that it is the first cabinet chief assistant in Manchuria, and the political system of Houjin is mostly Bao Chengxian to help it improve, and the later Sanshun King and a large number of Ming generals who descended to the Qing Dynasty are also recruited by Bao Chengxian, and the emperor is also Bao Chengxian to lead the persuasion.

If you want to compare, Bao Chengxian is very similar to Wu Yong, the military advisor in the Water Margin, and he really made great contributions to the foundation of Manchuria.

Its merits, Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan and others are inferior.

"Father-in-law, what now?" Jiang Fangyin was a little unsure of what to do.

Wei Liangchen waved his hand: "It's only two days, I can't go far, just chase it." After speaking, he looked at Shang Xueli on Mo Li's side, "Guerrilla Lao will pay all the war horses in our family, and I will return you when the matter is over." ”

After speaking, throw out your name sticker.

Shang Xueli hesitated, took the name sticker, and ordered his subordinates to hand over more than 100 horses in the office. Wei Liangchen nodded, and saw that there was a young man beside Shang Xueli who was quite good-looking and loyal, so he asked who it was, and learned that Naishang's eldest son could enter, so he ordered him to enter and lead the way.

Shang Kejin looked at his father hesitantly, Shang Xueli thought that he could not lead the way, if he refused, he would be afraid of making this Wei father-in-law angry, and it would be easy for the old benefactor to despise him, so he signaled that he could go to lead the way.

Wei Liangchen didn't have anything else to say to Shang Xueli, Shang Kejin was about twenty years old, and he was only ten years old. Although it is true that this son is a traitor, his father and brother are still alive at this time, and history will also change because of the arrival of his father-in-law Wei, so there is no need to punish him for the history that cannot happen again. Just as it was impossible for his father-in-law Wei to send someone to northern Shaanxi to find Li Zicheng, who was only five years old.

The Ming Dynasty was not angry, so why blame others for rebelling for their lives.

……….

Jinzhou must pass through Nanguan to the north, and there is a Kiba post in between.

On the order of Li Ruwu, Bao Chengxian, the general of Gaizhou, led his troops to escort the surrendered Japanese and the Flying Tiger Yu to Gaizhou. Because the number of the team is more than 1,000, the action is slow, so two days later, they arrived at the Kiba Station, which is more than 40 miles away from Nanguan. After the south pass is the Jinzhou Acropolis, from which to the north is the official road of Benfuzhou, Gaizhou to Guangning and Shenyang; To the east is the official road of the right guard of the Liao and the state of Korea, and the six forts of Kuandian are located in the easternmost part of this official road, and it is now under the rule of Jianzhou.

Li Ruwu confessed that Bao Cheng went to the Jinzhou Acropolis first, in order to prevent the bandits of the Wai and the Flying Tiger Army from escaping, Li Ruwu handed over his guard to Bao Chengxian, and gave Bao Chengxian a strict order not to escape, if anyone dared to run, he could be killed on the spot.

Bao Chengxian was bent on behaving in front of Li Ruwu, actively receiving orders, urging everyone all the way, and severely scolding and beating them, which made the remnants of the Flying Tiger and the Wai Wai complain, and there were skirmishes from time to time, but they were all suppressed by Bao Chengxian's troops.

When we arrived at Kiba Station, it rained heavily.

Kiba Station is just a post house, how to place people to shelter from the rain. Bao Chengxian let the remnants of the Descending Widow and the Flying Tiger go outside, and he led the officers and soldiers into the post to hide. This made more than 1,000 people out there miserable.

Soon after the rain stopped, a rainbow appeared in the sky, and the sun emerged from the dark clouds.

Bao Chengxian led his subordinates out of the post and ordered the drive to continue northward. Ning Wan, who came to the door yesterday, saw the remnants of the Flying Tiger Army struggling in the mud, and there was an inexplicable trace of worry in his eyes.

"General, these past are all strongmen, although they are bare-handed, but they are also angry. As a precautionary measure, I thought that when we were escorted in batches, we would first choose the strong ones to go north, and then release the rest. ”

Ning finished my words to make Bao Chengxian moved, here his department plus Li Ruwu's guards are only a few hundred, but there are more than a thousand people in the Wai and Flying Tigers, if it is really difficult, even if you are not afraid, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will take advantage of the chaos to escape. Therefore, he asked his subordinates to choose one or two hundred strong people to free them first.

He asked me again: "Is there any soldier coming from Nanguan?" ”

Ning finished me and said: "When I was there, the seventh prince had already greeted him, and he wanted to come to the road because of the wind and rain." ”

Bao Chengxian nodded and motioned for Ning Wan to follow him on the horse. He attaches great importance to Ning Wan me, although this person has no merit and fame, but he is proficient in literature and history, and his brain is very flexible, but he can give reasonable advice as long as he asks about difficult things, and he is really a rare talent.

On the other side, Bao Zhi's subordinates had been ordered to draw the able-bodied ones from the crowd, which caused the long queue to riot immediately. But under the threat of the sword of the Ming army, whether it was the surrender of the Japanese or the rest of the Flying Tiger Army, they all dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and let the Ming army pick people. After a while, more than 200 able-bodied people were drawn, including Shen Shikui and Liu Xingxian.

"Damn, don't let us hide from the rain, what's the point of separating us?" Liu Xingxian scolded.

Shen Shikui was silent, although he was born as a market vendor, he was also coarse in writing and ink, and knew that the officers and soldiers were just trying to prevent them from making trouble.

After Bao Chengxian was elected, he asked Li Ruwu's personal army captain Li Mingguo to lead his subordinates to free them first.

"Gongfu also went first, and met the soldiers from Nanguan on the way and told them to come quickly," Bao Chengxian commanded a few words, but there was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and then a hundred horsemen galloped on the official road.

Bao Chengxian and the others were very strange, and they didn't know why the people from the Central Left Institute came. After the hundred horsemen approached, Bao Chengxian vaguely saw that the young general riding in front seemed to be Shang Kejin, the eldest son of Shang Xueli, the guerrilla of the center left, but behind him was not a soldier of the center left, and the military uniform looked a little weird.
