Chapter 474: Behead you, surrender your name

Seeing the sudden change, the guards who were still left beside Lucked were all stunned for a moment, and then immediately howled and rushed towards Sun Yanling's department.

It's just that they are still a step late. It turned out that Sun Yanling had already wanted to talk about the collapse, so in addition to bringing a dozen or so guards, he also brought more than 200 personal soldiers, who swarmed up in the dark environment, and suddenly occupied a great numerical advantage.

And Luckedhun's guards, because they chased and killed the rout, there were only five or six people left by his side, so they were killed by Sun Yanling's subordinates in an instant.

And the guards who were chasing the rout in the distance, in the dark environment, obviously didn't know what had suddenly changed here, so they didn't rush back.

"Sun Yanling, you dog thief, you really want to betray the Qing Dynasty and surrender to Li Xiao's ......" Luckdehun, who was surrounded by a group of Sun Yanling's subordinates, said to Sun Yanling with blood flowing from his mouth.

"Hmph, Luck Dehun, this official gave you a chance, but you don't know the current affairs, you refuse to run away and fight to the death, if you have to put me to death, why should this official be loyal to you again!" In the dim night, Sun Yanling's face was like a hideous devil.

A mouthful of blood spat out from Luck, and he lost a lot of blood, and his knees went limp, and he fell to his knees.

"Han, Han dog, you shameless Han dogs, my biggest mistake is that I didn't get rid of you guys at both ends of the rat in time......

Lucked muttered. Sun Yanling let out two piercing sneers and said sharply: "Hmph! Don't talk nonsense, before surrendering to Tang Jun, this official has something to borrow from you.

Luck De was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, Sun Yanling said coldly: "This official wants to borrow your head and give Tang Jun a vote!" Before he finished speaking, the waist knife in his hand was already quickly slashed away, and he only heard a soft sound.

Luckedhun's head, like a spring-loaded toy, sprang up from his neck, bringing up a flying column of blood.

Then, the headless corpse, like a soft bag of noodles, fell limply. This bloody head, when it fell from the air in an arc, was grabbed by Sun Yanling in his hand.

Grabbing the two greasy little discernments, looking at Luckdhun's bloody grinning face, a sneer crossed Sun Yanling's face.

"Pass on the official military order, immediately raise the white flag and surrender to the Tang army."

"Yes, in order." When he saw that in the distant lights, a large white flag was raised, Li Xiao immediately ordered to stop shooting, and the Tang army stopped this purely one-sided killing in time.

Sun Yanling held Luckedhun's head high, and led nearly 2,000 Han soldiers with his subordinates waving white flags high, strode towards and surrendered to the Tang army.

"Who will your lord be, this general? The general had already admired the name of the Tang Army, and he came to surrender today, which is really a long-cherished wish. Now the head of the main general in Lushun City, Le Ke Dehun, is here, which is a little vote of our army, please accept it with a smile. Sun Yanling smiled profusely, raised the bloody head of Luck Dehun in his hand, raised his hands high, and presented it to Tian Wei, the head general of Xingzhong Town of the Tang Army, who was sitting on horseback.

Tian Wei sneered, and after taking the head, he didn't say much, and quickly shouted: "If you are willing to surrender, our army can also accept it, then it is the front army, to exterminate the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers in the city who have not yet surrendered, this can be regarded as a real acceptance." Sun Yanling didn't have any conditions at this time, he immediately shouted and led his soldiers, turned around and returned to the front of the Tang army, and slashed and killed the soldiers and horses of the Qing army, which was already a mess.

At the same time, Sun Yanling asked those who knew Manchu among his soldiers to keep shouting words of persuasion to surrender.

"Brothers, now that Luckedhun is dead, what good is it for me to wait to fight to the death. Now that the Han army has surrendered, you are still resisting, please quickly lay down your arms and surrender to the heavenly soldiers, so that you can survive!

With the repeated shouts of the Han army, the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers, who had no desire to fight, immediately knelt on the ground and asked to surrender. The Lord is dead, the scene is chaotic, and it is dark, and I can't see the way even if I want to escape, to this point, if I don't surrender, is there any other way? This battle, which was completely overturned, is finally over. In this battle, in which the Tang army suffered almost no casualties, the total number of casualties of the Qing army reached more than 1,800, including the surrendered Han army, a total of more than 5,000 Qing troops became prisoners of the Tang army. Under the light of the bunches of torches held high, Li Xiao watched with interest, and Lecket's bloody head was dripping with interest. He saw that this head was cut off from the middle of the neck, and the section was extremely smooth, although the head of Nalkdehun was cut off, but his eyes were wide open, and his face was full of blood, and there was a very unwilling expression. Li Xiao sneered in his heart, this Luck Dehun, it is estimated that he originally wanted to avenge his brother Adali, but now it is good, the revenge has not been avenged, and he has given his own life, now, the two brothers can reminisce about the old in hell. At this time, Sun Yanling, who was able to make meritorious contributions in this battle, was led by two Tang Army soldiers and walked towards Li Xiao with a sneer.

"In the next grandson Yanling, meet Lord Li of Tang Guogong." Sun Yanling, who was kneeling on the ground, said loudly with a stammering and respectful look.

"Oh, it turns out that you are Sun Yanling." Li Xiao sat on the horse, looked at him with a teasing smile on his face, and said lightly: "You rebelled against Kong Youde's thief and defected to the Qing Dynasty before, although there was a big mistake, but this time you can correct it in time and lead your troops to rejoin our army, which can be regarded as a great achievement. ”

"Thank you Tang Guogong, thank you Lord Li for not killing." Seeing that Li Xiao admitted his own merits and did not punish himself and his subordinates, Sun Yanling looked happy.

"Okay, then tomorrow, you and your troops will return to Shandong on our ships, and as for those Manchu and Mongolian soldiers who surrendered, they will all be punished as hard labor and work in mining." Li Xiao further ordered.

"Okay, now that I have voted for Tang Guogong, I have already arranged it with Lord Li." Sun Yanling said loudly.

"Well, stand down."

"Xie Tang Guogong." After Sun Yanling retreated, Li Xiao let out a long breath, and couldn't help but smile on his face.

Well, from getting off the boat in the afternoon to this dark, but more than two hours, I have been fighting this Lushun City, which is known as the strongest in southern Liaoning, to knock down this Lushun City, which is known as the strongest in southern Liaoning.

The speed of the siege is so fast, it is really enough to be proud of myself. Soon, the statistical list of the Department of Supervision and Guardianship was also reported.

It is reported that there are nearly 5,000 people of all kinds in this city, most of whom are Han Chinese, and the rest of the Manchu and Mongolian residents are about 1,000.

In addition, more than 200 taels of gold, more than 20,000 taels of silver, about 300 horses of silk and leather goods, and countless kinds of ordnance and armor were seized in the city.

Li Xiao immediately ordered the people in the city to pack up and prepare to return to Shandong by boat with the surrendered soldiers after dawn tomorrow.

The seized silver and weapons were also loaded back to Shandong with the ship. That night, Li Xiao stayed in the official hall in Lushun City, but did not rest immediately, but urgently summoned Tian Wei, the mayor of Xingzhong Town and the commander of the first battalion, and Lu Zhancai, the deputy commander of the first battalion, to come to the official hall to discuss matters.

Lu Zhancai, the deputy commander of the first battalion, was originally a wanderer from Liaodong, the first from outside Jinzhou City, when he was like a beggar, because his body was still quite strong, he was selected into Li Xiao's army, and later followed Li Xiaonan to cross the Bohai Sea and came to Shandong Chifeng Fort.

Lu Zhancai was unknown in Li Xiao's army until the implementation of the military rank assessment system, and he was rated as a spear sergeant, and since then he has been concerned by Li Xiao.

Later, Lu Zhancai started step by step, starting from a spearman sergeant, to a commander, a sentry commander, and a commander, and finally promoted to the deputy commander of the A Battalion in Xingzhong Town.

For his current position, Lu Zhancai is very satisfied, and he is grateful to Li Xiao. Under the candlelight, in front of a huge cowhide map, the three of them sat around the table and began to discuss the next move.

"Lord Li, then our army wants to sweep Jinzhou first and then attack Fuzhou like last time?" Tian Wei asked softly.

Li Xiao nodded and agreed with his statement.

"Well, just like last time, from tomorrow, the army will be divided into two parts, one is mainly cavalry, led by Zhancai, first outside the city of Jinzhou, the other is mainly firearms and infantry, led by Bengong and Tian Wei personally, and will go north to attack Jinxian. If the county of Jin, then turn northwest to attack Fuzhou. After listening to Li Xiao's order, Tian Wei and Lu Zhancai both stood up and said yes and took orders loudly.

Then Lu Zhancai asked Li Xiao softly with a rather hesitant attitude: "Tang Guogong, if the Qing army in Jinfu and Fu learned the lesson of the last sneak attack by our army, and saw that our army attacked again, they immediately abandoned the city and fled, then what should our army do?" Hearing Lu Zhancai's words, Li Xiao couldn't help frowning.

The following is an anti-theft statement. The imperial court's punishment of Zhao Shenlu did not frighten the officials, and among the scholars and doctors of the Ming Dynasty, there were many people with bones.

Zhao Shenlu only insinuated to Zhang Juzheng in Shangshu, and then followed by three officials, Yu Maoxue (the word Xingzhi, a native of Wuyuan, Huizhou), Fu Yingzhen, the imperial historian of Henan Province (the word Gongshan, a native of Anfu, Jiangxi), and Liu Tai, the imperial history of Liaodong (the word Ziwei, an Furen, Jiangxi), criticized the new policy, and the artillery fire was fiercer than the other.

What especially saddened Zhang Juzheng was that Fu and Liu were the Jinshi who were selected by Zhang Juzheng as an examiner in the fifth year of Longqing, and they were out-and-out protégés.

The relationship between the lord and the protégé in the Ming Dynasty was close to that of father and son, so Zhang Juzheng said angrily that no protégé had impeached the teacher in two hundred years, and such a thing actually brought me down.

Yu Maoxue put forward five suggestions in the recital: First

"Cundun Da", we must be more lenient to the below, and the examination law has made the wind of officialdom very cold, and the vitality of the country has been greatly damaged; The second is

"Speak in person", that is, to speak widely and listen to different opinions with an open mind; The third is

"Be cautious", reward and punish clearly; Four are

"Precepts change", do not easily change the law of the ancestors; Fifth, yes

"Guarding against deceitfulness", the cabinet should not indiscriminately praise the celebrant and the eunuch. Each of them is aimed at Zhang Juzheng.

And Liu Tai was even more straightforward, naming and criticizing Zhang Juzheng, and the title of the song was "Begging for the Shengming Festival to Accept the Auxiliary Ministers' Power and Strength", and the rhetoric was very intense, saying,

"Emperor Gao learned from the mistakes of the previous generations, did not set up a prime minister, and the matter was returned to the ministry, and the situation was not compatible, and the position was easy to say. Emperor Wen set up the cabinet and participated in the maintenance of the aircraft. At that time, the official rank was not high, and there was no arbitrary alliance. In the past two hundred years, there have been those who are good at prestige, but they still dare not live in the name of the prime minister, and they are also in the law of their ancestors. Zhang Juzheng, a university scholar, was expelled from the high arch, and was good at Weifu for three or four years. ”

"The cabinet ministers have no seals, and they are listed as Hanlin, Hanlin, and they are ready to be advisers, and they are calm and different. Ju Zheng Chuangwei said that he wanted to coerce Kechen and obey the order. And further play, saying that the patrol according to the imperial history patrol according to the localities, supervision, is not a particularly large case of officials violating the law, and generally does not send out.

Because the selected people are very shrewd and capable, and the powers granted are greater, most of the officials in various places know how to cherish the name and not be too embarrassed.

Even the Imperial Procuratorate has no control over the imperial history (in today's terms, the Supreme Supervision Department is the professional guide to the imperial history of the inspectors, not their direct superiors), so as not to control the imperial history too much.

Now that Zhang Juzheng has used the examination method to control the supervision officials, the power is concentrated in the cabinet, and there is no independence, who is in charge of the supervision of the affairs and the imperial history, who is willing to risk losing his official position or even his life, and speak out about the mistakes of the government?

These words still have value compared to modern times. If the United States does not have an independent prosecutor system, can independent prosecutors pursue the affairs of President Clinton and Lewinsky?

Liu Tai's magic weapon is the ancestral system, that is, the system without a prime minister founded by Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of Taizu Gao. The minister was appointed as the ministry Cao, and Ju Zheng recommended the change of imperial history. The ministers are also generous, and now those who dare to sue and attack are the friendship of the monarch and the minister, and the private favor cannot be taken into account. Of course, this is also quite politically correct.

Liu Tai said in Shangshu that the rights and responsibilities of patrolling the imperial history must be familiar to those who have watched traditional opera.

There are always similar plots in many operas, the rich lady in the back garden and the poor scholar fell in love at first sight, gave the scholar money to go to Beijing to catch the exam, the scholar high school yellow list, ordered the Bafu patrol press, took the Shang Fang sword, went out on patrol for the Son of Heaven, had the right to cut first and then play, and married the young lady after coming back.

Su San in "Yutang Spring", was bought back to his hometown by a businessman in Hongdong County as a concubine, suffered an unjust case, and was sentenced to death.

Such an important supervisory power is now under the control of the cabinet, and no one wants to put it aside, and the imperial historians have said it very well, but it cannot but be said that there is an element of conflict of interests in it, and the ass decides the head, as a speech official, of course, you must find ways to defend your right to speak.

Of course, Zhang Juzheng had to fight back against the intensive artillery fire of the officials, especially the students who betrayed his teacher, and he must have gritted his teeth with hatred.

Zhang Juzheng and the official who impeached him are in a state of extreme imbalance in strength. On one side is the prime minister who is above 10,000 people under one person and has won the favor of the saints, while on the other side is a few low-ranking and low-level officials, who have no courage.

The outcome of the confrontation between the two sides, it is estimated that these officials who are dredging the tiger's whiskers know their fate in advance, and this kind of courage of knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and favoring the tigers is still very admirable.
