Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Prince Goes on Patrol
After hearing the news, General Weiwu of the Shun army Xijing Weizuo immediately asked people to hit the ice on the bow of the ship with heavy wooden sticks, and the Shun artillerymen standing on the bow of the ship were responsible for taking monoculars to observe where there was ice in the distance? As soon as the ice surface was discovered, artillery bombardment was immediately launched.
In this way, they marched all the way across the Yellow River with difficulty, and docked near the wharf of the Fengling Pass Patrol Division of the Chengxuan Political Secretary of Shanxi Province and began to land, and a row of Ming soldiers wearing gray-blue cloth armor and black caps on the shore were patrolling near the wharf in the heavy snow.
The two Ming soldiers who were walking behind trotted and rubbed their hands constantly, and one of the soldiers asked, "It's too cold this day!" You said that on such a cold day, Lord Baihu still asked us to patrol this shore, is it because he is worried that there will be boats smuggling? Or whatever! ”
Another soldier replied, "Who knows? Maybe Hyaknohe-sama has his thoughts! There is no way to do it! Just as the two were talking, the Ming army in front stopped, and the leading Ming Shui Ji Xiaoqi: Guan Weifu, waved his hand to let the Ming army disperse on the left and right sides, hide by the snow-covered grass, and quietly watch the front.
Just to hear a (banging) sound coming from ahead? Then he saw hundreds of rogues wearing various armors appear in front of everyone, and Mingshuiji Xiaoqi hurriedly ordered the soldiers to take out arrows and shoot at the rogues.
A row of arrows plunged past to shoot dozens of rogues, and the rest of the rogue shouted "There is an ambush!" The sound alarmed General Xijing Weizuo of the Shun army who was coming here, and he hurriedly asked people to quickly find out the location of the Qingming army and eliminate the ambush soldiers.
So the archers of the Shun army went out to shoot arrows around the front, and soon found out the location of the Ming army, and a large number of Liukou knife players took the opportunity to charge forward and slash the Ming army, which caught the Ming army by surprise! Mingshui Ji Xiaoqi hurriedly ordered the soldiers to retreat to the hundred households of Mingrui City: Fang Huating, to report the military situation, but unfortunately was shot and killed by the rogue archers during the retreat!
After that, the Shun army was pulled out to the territory of Puzhou to guard the thousand households, and most of the Ming troops here were curled up next to the battlements due to the cold weather, and the governor of the Shun army sent people to hook the city wall with flying claws to climb up, and quickly took the Puzhou defense of the thousand households to kill the five hundred Ming troops, and then destroyed the Ruicheng defense of the hundred households and then went north to the vicinity of Jiezhou.
Aware of the attack of the Liukou, the governor of the Ming Jiezhou Prefecture: Du Bangen, hurriedly ordered Linjin County, Changle Town Patrol Division, Yanchi Patrol Division, and other places to strengthen the vigilance and let the Jiezhou garrison strictly guard the city gate, but was still infiltrated by the Liukou, and the general of the Shun Army's forward reserve team: Hao Shaoqi, disguised as a Ming army soldier, came to the city.
The people and merchants were scared away on the spot, and the soldiers at the city gate immediately stepped forward and asked, "Which soldiers and horses are you?" So far, what's going on? The Shun Army's forward reserve headquarters, who pretended to be the Ming army, replied: "We are the Ming army of Ruicheng guarding the hundred households, and we were killed in battle because of the invasion of the Liukou and the hundred households!" We had no choice but to flee here. ”
But these words made the soldiers defending the city very suspicious, and there was a tendency to refuse to let them go? The Shun Army's Forward Reserve Department immediately took out the waist card of the hundred households to show him, and the soldiers were willing to let him go after carefully watching the token, and after about half a pillar of incense into the city, the Shun Army Xijing Weizuo Weiwu General led the army to attack.
In the distance, there are ten magic cannons, six whirlwind copper cannons, and three bronze Frankie meteor cannons, and they ignite the fuse and fire the cannons (dong, dong, dong) to blast the city tower, and the Ming soldiers defending the city immediately reload and return fire, but they don't want to be stabbed in the back by the Ming army?
Before the defenders of the city could react, most of them were stabbed to death by the city wall! Listening to the continuous bombardment of the Liukou's artillery fire, the governor of Mingjie Prefecture felt a little strange? He thought to himself; Why did you only see the other side firing artillery and not the sound of our army firing artillery? Puzzled, he went out of the state and wanted to go to the city gate to see the situation, but he was hacked to death by the Shun army who mixed into the city! The area around Jiezhou was basically occupied by the rogues.
On December 15th, Wu Junzhen and the pedestrian department came to Linfen County, the capital of Pingyang Prefecture, according to the method provided by the monk Haikuan, and their faces were frozen red by the rainy and snowy weather.
However, when they arrived at the gate of the palace, the guards told them that the prefect was not in the palace! I have already gone to the treasury to count the grain, and the lack of seeing the prefect makes Wu Junzhen and the pedestrian department very anxious, and Liu Ruilin analyzed, "This prefect went to count the grain for no reason, and eighty percent of it was a war?" Or a famine? When they heard this, they rushed together toward the storehouse.
At this time, the general soldier of Ming Pingyang, Chen Shangzhi, who came to inspect the granary, walked to the grain bag, grabbed a handful of rice, smelled it, stuffed a few grains of rice into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and began to say, "Hmm! Yes, it is good to guard the grain, it is good to protect the grain, and it is worthy of praise. ”
The prefect of Ming Pingyang, who was praised, said with a smile: "Where and where compared with the hard work of the general soldier, the lower officials are really insignificant!" As soon as the words fell, the soldiers ran over and asked, "The edict of the Jin Prince's Mansion has arrived, which one is the chief soldier of Pingyang Mansion?" ”
At this moment, the prefect of Pingyang stretched out his hand and pointed to a man next to him and replied, "He is the chief soldier of Pingyang, I don't know why the edict of His Royal Highness Prince Jin is here?" I saw that the herald said hesitantly, "Our Royal Highness the Prince of Jin and the princess and concubine Niangniang will return to their parents' home to save their relatives, and I hope that the general soldier of Pingyang can send troops to protect!" ”
But this makes the prefect of Ming Pingyang feel a little strange? He thought to himself; This vassal king has to go out of the fief without authorization, according to the regulations of Emperor Cheng Zuwen, then he will be punished! As soon as I thought of this, the prefect of Pingyang in the Ming Dynasty felt that His Royal Highness Prince Jin must have done enough work? He didn't dare to talk more and watched quietly, and the general soldiers of Ming Pingyang, who hesitated for a while, decided to send people to protect His Royal Highness Prince Jin.
Shen Shi walked on the street Wu Junzhen and his party, looking at the bustling market selling sugar paintings and roasted sweet potatoes, the greedy Ma Wei couldn't help but walk up and pick up a hot sweet potato, change hands back and forth to keep warm, and asked, "How do you sell this sweet potato?" The stall owner replied, "Two copper plates, one for one, do you want this boy to come?" ”
Without hesitation, Ma Wei took out two copper plates from his sleeves and handed them over, then turned to his side and ate sweet potatoes, followed by Wu Junzhen and Liu Ruilin shook their heads helplessly, and suddenly there were a large number of people kneeling at the entrance of the street in front of them? The curious Ma Wei said to Wu Junzhen behind him, "Look, it's so lively ahead!" After saying that, he ran over to join in the fun.
However, Wu Junzhen was afraid that something would happen to him, so he shouted, "Hey! Brother Ma, slow down. Between the words, Wu Junzhen also looked ahead, only to see a group of silver-white armored soldiers walking over from the street in the middle of the kneeling people, and walked over from the street in a domineering manner, approaching a hundred meters away, looking at the posture of the soldiers carrying the flag, Wu Junzhen felt a bit like a person with relatively great official authority? The pedestrians behind him also stepped forward to watch and said, "Look, the size of this honor guard should be a prince's level?" ”
At this time, the Prince of Ming Jin Su who was sitting in the frame in front of him: Zhu Xianxuan, and the Princess of Ming and Jin opened the curtain and looked at the lively scene on both sides of the street, and couldn't help but smile happily, Prince Ming Jin Su said, "Concubine Ai, I have been out of the province for so long, and I am so happy to see you today, it seems that the lonely king will come out and walk around more in the future!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the happy princess of Ming Jin pulled out the golden hairpin inlaid with jade, and wanted to remind her husband that today was their wedding anniversary, but she didn't want to slip her hand and fall under the frame, so she was shocked that the princess of Ming Jin hurriedly said, "Oops! The golden hairpin of the husband's concubine has fallen! ”
This made Prince Ming Jinsu hear that it was amazing! He hurriedly shouted, "Stop!" Help the orphan king's concubine pick up the golden hairpin. The honor guard of the Jin Palace, who heard the voice, immediately stopped, and the subordinates who accompanied the car quickly squatted down and prepared to pick up the golden hairpin.
But the princess of Ming Jin said: "Wait! It's better for the concubine to pick it up herself! In fact, she wanted to get off the frame and go out to see the market township, after all, it was rare to go home for so long after being married, and she missed it very much, and when she saw the princess of Ming Jin walking out of the frame, she immediately knelt on the ground and let her step on her body, and when the princess of Ming Jin picked up the golden hairpin, she happened to see the acrobat kneeling next to the street.
On a whim, the princess of the Ming and Jin dynasties wanted to see the acrobatics, so she turned to the prince of the Ming and Jin dynasties in the frame and said, "Husband, the concubine wants to go and see if the acrobatics are allowed?" "Prince Ming Jinsu, who has never seen acrobatics in the palace, heard the word (acrobatics) and felt very fresh so he allowed it, and planned to watch it with his concubine.
The kneeling acrobatic troupe owner saw that His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin and the Princess Jin wanted to watch the acrobatic performance, and he was very happy and immediately agreed, but after all, the street was too narrow and there were too many things on both sides, so the acrobatic troupe leader proposed to go to an open place to perform.
Just as he was about to leave, he met Ma Wei, who was onlookers, and he stood at a loss and looked at the Ming and Jin Dynasty palace guards who came over: Wei Xutong, the Jin Dynasty palace honor guards on both sides stepped forward and said, "Dare to block the way of His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin?" I think you're tired of it? As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to draw his knife and face each other, but Wu Junzhen hurriedly dissuaded him when he saw this: "Hey, hey! You are angry, he is not sensible, I can't compensate you! ”
And the pedestrian department pedestrian also took the opportunity to come up and say, "I don't know it's the frame of His Royal Highness Prince Jin, I don't want to offend, please atone for my sins!" Seeing that there were pedestrians from the imperial court, the honor guards of the Jin Wangfu did not dare to be too presumptuous, so they let Ma Wei go in a big way, and after the honor guards of the Jin Wangfu walked over, Wu Junzhen and his party also knelt down and saluted.
Then the princess of Ming Jin and Prince Su of Ming Jin walked over hand in hand, looking at the two of them in gorgeous costumes, Ma Wei was very envious and looked up at them from time to time, and only after the king drove over did everyone get up.
At the same time, the red-robed woman who had retreated before also came to Linfen County, and even the mysterious man with crutches appeared in the city together, and they came to the tea shed on the side of the street to sit down, and the man shouted, "Little Er, a good pot of tea!" The red-robed woman who was holding the teapot and pouring tea said in a very gentle voice, "Gallo, it seems that there is a Jinyi guard captain of the imperial court staring at us nearby?" ”
