Section 33: Turmoil
Another sunset, Wang Shihe ate early, sat in the front hall of the house and waited for the arrival of the prospective son-in-law in his heart, he had already asked the old housekeeper to take his post to invite Yue Xiaofei.
On the surface, he was a little sad. The tea on the side had cooled several times, and the servants who were on duty in the hall had changed it for him a few times, and he seemed to be unaware of it, because the worries in his heart were too heavy.
In order to save the situation, the imperial court strengthened the defense of the imperial court, and sent 3,000 Yunnan troops, 3,000 Guangdong soldiers, 2,000 Tengjiao troops in Huguang Hezhen, and Gong Di, the director of the Guangdong Ministry of Officials, and Li Suiqiu, the director of the Ministry of War, who appeased the "Haikou" Luo Mingshou of the Ministry of Naval Forces, and there were no less than 40,000 elite soldiers in the hands of Jiangxi Governor Wan Yuan Ji in Ganzhou City, and Yang Tinglin, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, also stayed in Ganzhou to "specialize in Jiang Chu affairs".
Who knew that God did not bless the Ming Dynasty, the Qing army took Luo Ming's troops to be unprepared, and attacked the sailors on the Zhangjiang River at night, more than 80 giant boats were all burned, and the fire attack equipment contained in the ship was burned, and Luo Mingshou led the remnants of the army to flee back to Guangdong. The Qing army took advantage of the situation to break through Guangying and defeat the Dian army, and the other reinforcements saw that the situation was not good, and retreated to Yandu and Shaozhou. There are only university scholar Yang Tinglin, supervisor Wan Yuanji, military secretary Guo Weijing and a group of local officials in Ganzhou City, and there are only 6,000 soldiers defending the city. At the third watch of the night of a few days, the Qing army erected a ladder to climb the east city wall, and the Ming army in the city still resisted desperately. Gao Jinku, Xu Qiren, Li Shiyuan, Yang Wulie, Feng Junrui, Cui Guoxiang and others urged their officers and soldiers to go to the city from the breakthrough to fight. By noon on the fourth day of the first month, the Ming army could not resist the enemy, and Ganzhou was lost. Yang Tinglin committed suicide by throwing himself into the clear water pond, Wan Yuan Ji also threw himself into the water and died, Guo Weijing entered the Saga Temple ** died, and the victims at the same time were more than 30 officials and gentry such as Wan Faxiang of the Hanlin Academy and the Military Department, Peng Qisheng (that is, the father of Peng Sun Yi), Gong Di, the director of the Ministry of Officials, Wang Qixiao, the director of the Military Department, and Li Suiqiu.
Besides, Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing here, but fortunately, his son Zheng Sen single-handedly supported the sky and seized the right to be handsome, so he was able to keep the 50,000 soldiers and horses, and now he is also Xu Zhan Xu retreating, seeing that Jianning is about to arrive at Jianning, if Jianning can't hold my Yanping anymore, how can he resist the fierce railway hooves of the Qing army.
The news shocked the government and the opposition, and no one could come up with a good strategy to retreat from the enemy, but there was also a high-ranking official who was full of benevolence and righteousness on weekdays who tried every means to secretly communicate with the Qing army, seeing that the last bloodline of the Ming Dynasty was about to disappear, "Oh my God! Are you going to kill me? ”
"Humph! Even if I am a small official, my Wang Shihe is also a man, standing up to the sky, although the Qing army can't go into battle to fight, but the death festival is also good, only my children are suffering...... That kid from the Yue family also seems to have some skills......"
Wang Shihe didn't want Wang Jingwen and Yuwen Xiuyue to get involved, but he couldn't help his daughter to fight, so he had to send all the generals to go on the road with them, and recruited a team of 500 light horsemen to come to protect the second daughter and return after the deed. I thought that if he Yue Xiaofei could capture the iron horse Huang Gu, he would have great ability, but who would have thought that he would destroy even the Thirteen Taibao of Lotus Mountain with him, and he would not be injured alone, so people really don't know how capable he is.
Yue Xiaofei pinched Wang Shihe's post in his hand, and said to a few people around him, "Yes, we just came back, someone invited us to eat, and today we will save food for our old military camp, let's all go." ”
Huang Gu and Xu Liejun were naturally happy when they heard about drinking, and on weekdays, Yue Xiaofei did not allow them to drink in the camp, and now that someone invited them, it was naturally a good opportunity to entertain the wine worms.
"Humph! Let's not rejoice too early, I'm afraid this is a Hongmen feast! ”
The three proud guys who were about to get carried away were stunned, they didn't think about it at all, they all looked at this military advisor who played with fans all day long.
Who is their military advisor, the young man in white, and who is the young man in white? To the point, who is he, he is the famous Chen Yonghua! Why haven't you heard of it, Chen Jinnan should know, the master of Lord Wei in "The Legend of Deer and Ding", the chief helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society. Of course, he wasn't, he was only seventeen or eighteen years old. Yue Xiaofei was bluffed by Mr. Jin's book, what kind of character is Chen Jinnan, uh, I don't know if I will tell him that he will have an apprentice named Wei Xiaobao in the future?
"**Division, this ...... Uh, what do you think about this? ”
Chen Yonghua glanced at Yue Xiaofei and said in his heart: "It's a shame that you're still the boss, you can't see through such a thing." ”
Yue Xiaofei glanced at him, and shook his head secretly in his heart: "How do people's heads grow, everything can be clear when you think about it, and it will be clear at a glance, let's ...... Hehe, the big boss can't see through it, can't see through it. ”
"Boss, do you think you want to fight our Huang Company Commander this time, the Wang family is a general, a cavalryman, and a young lady and a ...... and sister-in-law are sent, what do you think people think? ”
Yue Xiaofei's face changed slightly, he thought about the matter with Yuwen Xiuyue Wang Jingwen already knew that if she didn't come back, she didn't seem to be indifferent on the way back until she went home just now. Speaking of which, he can't say that he doesn't have a good impression of Wang Jingwen, but could this be what Wang Shi and the old man mean? Why, just because Wang Jingwen likes to come here? It's impossible, although there is some money now (the two cottages have added nearly 200,000 taels of silver to Yue Xiaofei) he is still a businessman, isn't a businessman a ninth-rate businessman in this era! He Wang Shihe also fancies?
Seeing Yue Xiaofei's face, Chen Yonghua shook his fan, and said step by step: "Boss, please think about it again, why do people want to recruit you as a son-in-law?" Isn't it that you now have nearly 400 elite soldiers on hand, first marry your daughter to you, and then give you a petty official, no matter how much you are cultivated in the future, you will always be a member of his royal family. ”
Huang Xu and the others listened with solemn faces, and Yue Xiaofei sat on the chair with a butt, and thought in a daze: "Is Jingwen's arrival all arranged by Wang Shihe?" No! I believe that Jingwen is not that kind of person, but it is not impossible for Wang Shihe to use her, if it is really as the ** master said, he uses Wang Jingwen's marriage as a price, what should it be? Refuse?! If this matter doesn't work, he will send Jingwen to marry again, what should he do, is he really willing to do it? ”
Seeing that Yue Xiaofei's head was in a mess, Xu Liejun spoke: "Sir, so what, just marry all two of you, just like my old man, marry him three or five." ”
"You know a fart, don't talk nonsense here, go out with me." Huang Gu scolded him and pulled Xu Liejun out. He knew that these things were incomprehensible to the two of them, and of course they couldn't help much.
"Boss" is the only one in the army who is not called Chief Yue Xiaofei, but calls him the boss like the old military camp. "Actually, it doesn't matter if you agree or not, there is only one, the army will not hand it over! The army is our own, I think there is nothing he can do about this, the big deal is that we pull up the team and leave, what can he do with a small Yanping Zhizhou. ”
