Chapter 155 [Surrender to Xuanfu]
However, when Yao Qiuyue saw this, she thought she wanted to seduce Wu Junzhen again? also followed, and Ma Wei naturally followed, leaving Liu Ruilin alone to wait here in embarrassment.
When Zhu Youlan came to the cabin noisily, they saw Prince Mingfu sitting here drinking and chatting with Prince Minglu Min, and they were a little angry when they saw this wayward niece surnamed Zhu break in, but they still held back their anger and asked: "The county lord of Tai'an is so anxious to see me, I don't know what you are doing?" ”
She went straight and said, "My niece didn't mean anything else, I just wanted to ask Uncle Wang and Mrs. Wang, why did you abandon your subordinates and maids?" They were abandoned on the docks, pitiful. ”
After listening to Zhu Youlan's words, Prince Mingfu couldn't help laughing and said, "Hehehe, Niece Youlan, don't make a fuss!" The Lonely King.... ”
Before the words fell, Prince Minglu Min, who was holding a teacup next to him, looked directly at him with his eyes, and Zhu Youlan also looked at him and asked, "Uncle Fuwang, what did you just say?" Could it be that you ordered them to be abandoned? ”
Prince Mingfuku, who was seated, replied, "W-How is this possible? The Lone King is not that kind of person! ”
But Zhu Youlan said righteously: "Then why does the general guard of Tongguan let the soldiers refuse to give those lowly people a boat?" Prince Minglu Min next to him took a sip of tea, looking at Prince Mingfu's face as if he was about to be overwhelmed.
And at this moment, Wu Junzhen, Yao Qiuyue, and Ma Wei also broke in, and the three of them saluted the two vassal kings, and Wu Junzhen casually mentioned: "What is the embarrassment of His Royal Highness the county lord just now, please bear with me!" We can be punished for His Royal Highness the County Lord. ”
Seeing someone supporting Zhu Youlan, this made Prince Mingfu even more afraid, after all, Wu Junzhen's gang was still his life-saving benefactor, so he wiped his sweat and was about to speak, but Prince Minglu Min stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "I have heard for a long time that there are many literati and scholars in Changzhou Mansion downstream of Yangzhou Mansion? And it's also a place to enjoy the lake, and the Lone King is planning to go and see it. ”
Everyone was stunned by this sudden topic, and Prince Mingfu asked, "What's the matter, Uncle Lu Wang is not going to Yingtianfu?" ”
I saw Prince Minglu Min nodded and took a sip of tea, in fact, this was to help Zhu Youlan relieve the siege, Wu Junzhen saw the intention, so he stepped forward and said, "Since His Royal Highness Prince Lu is not going to Yingtianfu?" I wonder if the boat can be lent to the servants and maids? ”
Originally, Prince Mingfu wanted to refuse, but when he saw that Uncle Lu had no opinion, he acquiesced, so the maid and his subordinates had a boat to ride, and together they followed the main ship of His Royal Highness Prince Fu to Nanjing City, Yingtianfu, while Prince Minglu Min waited for the arrival of the second batch of ships before crossing the Yangtze River to Wuxi County, Changzhou Prefecture.
When the army of Emperor Dashun quickly took the three places of Wanquan Left Guard, Wanquan Right Guard, and Huai'an Wei after the war burned, and successfully set foot on the boundary of Wanquan Dusi, looking at the area that was close to one of the nine important towns of the Ming Empire (Xuanfu Town), which had made the northern Tatar Department and the southern Mongolian tribes frightened, Emperor Dashun couldn't wait to prepare to attack the city, but it was too late and the soldiers were also tired after a day's battle, so they had to camp on the spot first.
The heralds sent out by the Ming Xuanfu Supervision Army also rode back to the barracks, but it was already dark, and a row of patrol soldiers wearing big caps walked slowly past the side of the barracks, and the heralds quickly dismounted and entered the barracks to resume their lives.
As soon as he received the news, the general soldier of the Ming Xuan Mansion quietly summoned the herald and approached his ear and asked, "Have you investigated the situation clearly?" How many people are there on the other side? ”
The herald replied, "Everything is clear, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses on the other side. ”
Hearing that the opponent's troops were several times more than his own, the general soldiers of the Ming Xuan Mansion felt completely out of action! Thought; Don't talk about fighting now, just surrender directly! Maybe he can keep his official position and eat together, but if he resists, he is afraid that his life will be lost, and his family property and clan will be disposed of by the rogue.
So the general army of Ming Xuanfu planned to take the army out of the city overnight to meet the Liukou army, but he didn't know what kind of person Du Jian Jun in the army was? Therefore, he planned to strike first to get rid of this person to avoid endless troubles.
Just as he was about to send out the assassins, he saw a man walking near the military tent in the distance? Everyone took a closer look and found that it was actually the supervising army of the Ming Xuan Mansion, only to see him striding over and saying, "Mr. Wang, the news reported by the herald is also known to our family, I don't know what Mr. Wang should do next?" ”
At this moment, the general soldier of the Ming Xuan Mansion outside the military tent did not speak, but turned around and walked three steps and said, "The last general thinks that there is only ...... plan for today." ”
Before he finished speaking, the assassins (soldiers) in ambush next to the military tent around him began to draw their swords slowly, which made the Ming Xuanfu Supervisor feel that the situation was not good, and he immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "Our family thinks that only by surrendering to the rogue can there be a glimmer of life at this moment!" ”
The surrounding soldiers were a little resistant when they heard the word surrender, and they thought that Lord Wang Zongbing would order the killing of this eunuch who spoke wildly? Who knew that the general soldier of Ming Xuanfu not only did not kill him after hearing this, but turned around with a smile and helped him up with a happy smile and said, "Oops! Lord Du Jianjun looks at you, you don't walk carefully in the dark and windy night, why do you still fall? Come on, come on, come and sit in the general's tent. ”
The supervising army of the Ming Xuan Mansion who was helped up reacted at this time, it turned out that Wang Zongbing was also in line with his own thoughts? Therefore, the two of them talked about ...... heartily.
The next day, a hundred people ran out of the tent of the Ming army camp of the Xuanfu and ran in the direction of the Dusi Mansion, and the soldiers went out of the tent to raise their guns to shoot at the fleeing soldiers (bang, bang, bang), and after a round of shooting, the general soldiers of the Ming Xuanfu walked out of the tent and said, "That's it!" Let them go! It's all my own brothers, and I'm not reluctant to go their separate ways. ”
At this time, the supervising army of Mingxuan Mansion also came out and said, "Lord Wang, should the army gather and set off?" ”
The general army of the Ming Xuanfu was reminded to order the trumpeter to blow the horn to assemble the team, and led the three guards of the Xuanfu to advance 30 miles to surrender the Liukou army!
However, the Dashun army, which was marching this way, saw the flag (Kuimu wolf), one of the 28 constellation flags, and the Suzaku flag of the Weisuo army hanging in front of them, so that the soldiers of the Shun army were vigilant, and the Shangshu of the Dashun military department immediately ordered to set up artillery and prepare for battle.
Just as the Shun army had just arranged the combat offensive, they saw the Ming army on the opposite side raise a white flag to express their surrender! The general soldiers of the Ming Xuan Mansion and the Ming Xuan Mansion Supervisor in the Ming army also dismounted and buckled.
This scene saw that Emperor Dashun in front of the battle was shocked! Instantly made him feel like a dream, and was able to take down the army of two important towns of the Ming Empire in a row without blood, which made Emperor Dashun proud again, he thought that it was much closer to the capital, so Emperor Dashun was relieved and boldly dismounted, and accepted the surrender ceremony of the general army of Ming Xuanfu.
Then Emperor Dashun asked, "General Soldier Wang, please hurry up!" I don't know how many soldiers and horses there are in the Wanquan Metropolitan Division? The general soldier of the Ming Xuanfu replied, "There are still 30,000, but as long as the commander or governor is captured, then the rest of the Ming army will be a group of dragons without a leader." ”
After hearing this, Emperor Dashun, who was eager for victory, drew his saber without hesitation and shouted: "The three armies of Dashun obey the order, advance at full speed, and those who take the Wanquan Dusi Mansion will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver, and those who pacify the nearby guards will be sealed and prepared for hereditary inheritance." ”
Behind him, the soldiers of the Shun army, who were full of desire for silver and official positions, shouted with joy, and soon the whole army rushed to the city of Dusifu with the light cavalry of the Shun army as the main first, followed by the heavy armor of the Shun army appeared in a neat row near Xuanfu Town, and finally the generals of the separate battalions sent troops to attack the guard near the Wanquan Dusi.
When the soldiers in the city saw the big attack of the rogues, they were so frightened that they ran into the hall of the office and shouted, "Report, no, no, there are a large number of rogue troops coming to the city, please command the lord to resist the enemy quickly." ”
The Ming Wanquan commander in the lobby and the governor of the Ming Xuan Mansion felt strange when they heard this? Thought; Yesterday, General Wang and Du Jianjun had just led their troops out of the city to fight, why did the army of Liukou besiege the Dusi Mansion today? In order to find out the situation, the two decided to go up to the castle tower to find out.
When the two of them came to the top of the city tower to watch the battle, the rogue soldiers outside the city first lit three general cannons and bombed the city tower, killing more than a dozen Ming soldiers defending the city, and then stopped the shelling under the gesture of Dashun Ruhou, and he shouted to the city, "The two above are Lord Zhu Governor and Lord Chen Du?" I didn't expect it! As long as you lay down your arms and surrender, Your Majesty can ensure that you can enjoy all the glory and wealth, otherwise... ”
Before Dashun Ruhou finished speaking, Ming Wanquan commanded the envoy to raise the crutch gun, ignited the fuse (bang) and hit the suspension bridge outside the city, so shocked that Dashun Ruhou's horses did not dare to step forward, and he pulled the reins hard to barely control the horse's emotions.
It made the Ming soldiers in the city laugh, but some generals didn't laugh?
But Dashun Ruhou doesn't seem to be angry? Instead, he stretched out his right hand and pointed to the side, saying, "Two adults, I don't know if you still remember the two of them?" ”
The two of them looked in the direction pointed by the general of the Liukou, but unexpectedly saw the chief soldier of the Ming Xuanfu in the Liukou army: Wang Chengyin, the supervisor of the Ming Xuanfu Army: Du Xun, these two people and some of the three guards of the Xuanfu who were blocked behind them.
The most shameless thing is that these two people actually came out and persuaded them: "Governor Zhu and Chen Du commanded the envoys, now that the Dashun soldiers are strong and strong, with our little force, we can't resist at all, so let's surrender as soon as possible!" ”
These words were so angry that the governor of Ming Xuanfu scolded on the spot: "You are a person trusted by the imperial court, Your Majesty specially sent you to come here to guard the feudal territory, but you don't want to fornicate with thieves, what face do you have after death?" To meet His Majesty? ”
These words made the Ming Xuanfu Supervisor a little ashamed! He lowered his head and retreated, and the general soldier of Ming Xuanfu let the soldiers shoot a signal flare into the sky, and then the right guard of Ming Xuanfu who was guarding the city was pacified: Deng Yu, Ming Xuanfu avant-garde guerrilla: Long Jiajun, and other generals quickly swung their knives to kill the soldiers around them, leaving only the soldiers who obeyed their own arrangements, and even the Ming Wanquan commander was also commanded by Ming Wanquan to make the envoy experience: Luo Zhongsheng, stabbed in the chest and bled more than bleeding and slowly fell to the ground!
Frightened, the governor of Ming Xuanfu immediately rushed over and grabbed the torch and prepared to ignite the Weiyuan cannon and fire, but was stopped by the soldiers on the left and right, and he took a closer look to find that the line hole of the cannon had already been nailed to death by iron nails! No wonder the defenders didn't fire a shot before, but now the governor of Mingxuan Mansion had to raise his head and sigh, "Why is the people's heart so far!" ”
After that, when he saw that the general trend was gone, he bit his finger and wrote a suicide note, and killed himself after snatching the soldier's sword!
In this way, for a time, the two important towns of Xuan and Da near Jinggi in the north of the Ming Empire quickly fell into the hands of the Liukou, which was something that the imperial court never expected, not only lost two important border troops, but also successfully exposed the north gate area on the northwest side of the capital.
