Chapter 943: Sacrifice
After Zhai Jinren's death, the chief secretary of Qixia County sent people to send people to the neighboring states and counties with Zhai Jinren's seal letter, and Li Mengcheng of Wendeng Zhi County, Liu Guoyu, the general of Jimo, Li and other members of Dengzhou, and Wang Yunsheng, the capital of Dengzhou, all led reinforcements to Qixia.
There weren't many reinforcements for each of them, and they all arrived separately, so how could Yu Qi let them be happy under their noses? Li Mengcheng of Wendeng Zhi County came to the city, and when he saw that Qixia was occupied by Yu Qi, he wanted to run back, but he was chased and killed by Yu Jiu with his troops for more than 30 miles, and almost died.
Jimo Shen has a good personal relationship with Liu Guoyu and Zhai Jinren, but because he belongs to Laizhou Mansion, not Dengzhou Mansion, and the road is not familiar, he was brought into Yu Shi's ambush circle by Wang Erxiao, a cow herder, and after a wolf crying and howling, Liu Guoyu fled back with only a few people.
Dengzhou General Soldier Li and others led 3,000 green battalions to Qixia, which can be described as overwhelming, but half of them were wiped out by the rebels in just one round. Li and the others lost their horses and weapons, and only one horse stick that he loved in his life remained. But he also used this horse stick to drive an ox cart before leading the remnants to escape back to Dengzhou. Wang Yunsheng, the capital of Dengzhou, brought 300 cavalry, and before he could go to the city to call for battle, Yu Qi led Li Junmei and Yu Jiu and Yu Shi to rush out.
Wang Yunsheng saw that there were only four cavalry on the opposite side, and he seemed to be indifferent, but as a result, there were only two hundred and five of his three hundred cavalry. If it weren't for the cavalry's fast running, it would be difficult for the men and horses to have fifty left.
The rebel army went out of the city four times, and every Qing army without exception rolled back from where they came from. The confidence of the rebels was at an all-time high, but Li Junmei began to be a little worried. "Husband, the Qing court sees that our strength is getting stronger and stronger, and the surrounding counties are simply unable to defeat us, so the counties are now closing their gates and waiting for the arrival of the Fuyuan army. Once the reinforcements from Jinan arrived, it would be a bloody battle. ”
And Yu Qi was also very sober, and he said to Li Junmei: "Yes, if our uprising only relies on these ordinary people who have no combat experience and training, this road will not go far at all." ”
Li Junmei asked again: "In that case, why does the husband always tell everyone who wants to join how difficult the uprising is?" Isn't one more person a little more strength? To this day, you have never contacted your former subordinates and fellow citizens in the green forest. Without their experience and combat power, how will we resist once the main forces of the Tartars arrive? ”
Yu Qi thought about Li Junmei's words for a long time, but he couldn't make up his mind, because he had already predicted the final result of this uprising, how could he bear to let his relatives and friends walk on this road of no return together? Yu Qi didn't seem to be talking to Li Junmei, but just said to himself: "This hero post, is it to be sent or not?" A voice appeared outside the door: "Hair, of course!" Yu Qi raised his eyes and shouted, "Cousin, why are you here?" ”
As he spoke, three people walked in outside the door, two of whom were Yu Jiu and Yu Shi, and they led a young man to walk side by side. Li Junmei was obviously very happy to see this person, and she said to the visitor: "Uncle, if you can come, sister-in-law will be relieved." In the future, there is no need for others. The man also hurriedly saluted Li Junmei and Yu Qi, and said, "The eldest brother is righteous, how can the younger brother be missing?" The younger brother naturally wants to come. ”
Who's coming? His name is Wang Lun, the youngest daughter of Qi Jiguang, the only son born to Yu Qi's aunt Qi Shaojun and Wang Daozeng, and Yu Qi's brother-in-law. If this doesn't impress you, then you can spoil it in advance.
The historical 'Yuqi Rebellion' ultimately failed, but it took a total of 14 years from the first uprising to the last defeat. Shandong Province before and after because of the 'Seven Rebellion' was connected by the people, as many as 100,000, the number of deaths exceeded the total number of deaths in the four major cases of Hongwu in the early Ming Dynasty, and it was much more, because the Qing army simply did not pronounce a sentence, but killed people everywhere they went, and the people of the time called this tragic scene 'the land is barren and unplanted, and the white bones are piled up and the mountains are full of phosphorus'.
The Qing Dynasty literati wrote the Chronicles of Laiyang County: "When the army arrived in Laiyang, the supplies were huge, and the east and south affairs were massacred. ’
In the end, the only people who could find a basis to determine the survival were Yu Qi and Wang Lun, and Yu Qi's wife Li Junmei was captured in Jinan Prison with their youngest son after the defeat, and eventually both died in Jinan Prison. Yu Shi killed himself, and Yu Qi's third sister, Wang Lun's wife, fled with Wang Lun.
and Yu Qi's eldest son, Yu Shouzai, sent his wife and three sons out to escape before the decisive battle, and Yu Shoujing, the second son of Yu Qi, fled to today's Dalian. The eldest of the three sons of Yu Qi's eldest son was only seven years old, and the youngest could not speak.
And his wife, Yu Qi's eldest daughter-in-law, is still a small foot, she pushes a wheelbarrow with both hands and pulls her three sons to walk hard. Since then, the family has been incognito, claiming to be surnamed Zhang, without a name, and has been begging for food for more than ten years.
Yu Qi's eldest grandson is called Zhang Wuming, the genealogy is named Yu I, until he was in his forties, because of the second brother who gave the rich family as a son-in-law, he finally married a family, and his descendants are prosperous, and the descendants of the Yu family are mostly revolutionary cadres and enterprise employees, many people died in the country and Korean battlefields before and after the liberation, and the descendants of the seventh son of Yu were after 918, and the history of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression before the Lugou Bridge Incident had a strong stroke, which the author will talk about later.
The origin of the phrase 'poor seniors' lies in the experience of the seventh eldest grandson. When it was Yu Mao, the grandchild of Yu I, the family dared to return to Tang Jiabo and secretly dug up the property that Yu Qi left for them. A total of two boxes, 80 gold ingots 1600 taels of gold, since then Yu Mao Yu III after hard work, once again rich one. And this money is a drop in the bucket compared to the wealth lost by the family for the sake of the national revolution.
Yu Qi's descendants, there is a Qing generation, and they have never been out again, because Yu Qi's eldest grandson, the poor elder Yu Wuming, has an ancestral motto for descendants: 'Only practice martial arts for self-defense, do not learn literature, and do not give Manchu officials.' Yu is nameless and uneducated, and he can't talk about anything, but he was seven years old at the time of the bloody battle of Asan and he was able to remember the faces and past events of his grandfather and father. He also knew that the reason why he lived was because of the sacrifice of his ancestors and fathers, and he would always remember who was the enemy of his family.
