Chapter 291 [Jiang's Rebellion]

The temples were destroyed one after another under artillery fire! Most of the Buddha statues collapsed and fell down and injured the monks, and many innocent monks and people fled in all directions, but the soldiers of the Shun army would not let them go, and they would stop them when they drew their swords.

When you see a good-looking woman from a good family, you will rape and kill! Occasionally, the monks who resisted with some effort were all shot to death by the Shun army's musketeers, or shot by archers with random arrows! Both the surrendering monks and the common people were used as slaves.

After the order was issued, when the soldiers of the Shun army were ready to destroy the last Buddha statue in the Yungang Grottoes, the Ming monk Lu Si Zuo Shanshi united the people into the city, and wore casual robes and ran to Shanxi Xingdu to command the envoy outside the military camp and school field to make trouble.

The former Ming Dynasty Datong General Soldier who was not reused in the school field and only had empty power: Jiang Zhuang, was reviewing the soldiers and horses while walking, and after a few turns, he felt bored and picked it up alone, 2 stone bows were pulled and tried to aim at the bull's-eye, and the arrow was pulled out of the bow, and he slowly closed his right eye and held the bow and twisted the arrow.

Then let go of your hand (whoosh)! The arrow pierced the bull's-eye on the target, and the passing former Ming Datong left guard and right general: Zhao Guangqing, echoed and shouted, "Okay!" The commander of the town shot this arrow beautifully. ”

But the former Ming Datong town commander didn't think so, he still continued to pick up the arrow to shoot the target, but the herald ran over to interrupt the shooting, and hurriedly said, "Report, report the town commander is not good!" There are many people out there who are incoming, and they are going to...? ”

As soon as he heard that someone had broken into the barracks, it really made the general soldiers of Ming Datong very unhappy, but he hadn't seen the people for a long time, and he wanted to go out to see what they had to report?

But who knew that after leaving the school field and coming to the gate of the barracks, he saw a large number of people shouting that they wanted to meet him, and among them, the monks rushed forward to deliver the letters, but they were always stopped by the soldiers and couldn't move!

Seeing that the morale of the people was high, the general soldiers of Datong Town in the former Ming Dynasty immediately asked the soldiers to release a road and listen to the opinions of the people.

At the head of the group were a few people dressed in tattered clothes, who came up to their knees and pleaded, "Oops! Your Excellency, the Chief Soldier of the Town, you have to make the decisions for our fathers and fellow villagers! The governor of Xuanda mixed with him, and he sent people to destroy the Yungang temple when he had nothing to do all day long! I have nowhere to worship, not even the monks! ”

After saying that, the monks in the crowd put their hands together and chanted, "Amitabha, good, good, what the donors said is right!" The sentence is true, here is the monk Lu Si Zuo Shanshi: Master Meigu, Shanxi Xingdu Commander Datong Mansion Monk Gang Si Du Gang: Ye Luchen, Hunyuan Prefecture Monk Zheng Si Seng Zheng: Guangqing, Shanyin County Sangha Association Si Monk Association: Qi Yingluan, their joint letter to the head of the town to see. ”

The rest of the people also shouted, "We also have a letter from the Shun army to destroy the temple!" ”

But the chief soldier of the former Ming Datong Town just took the monk's letter, opened it and looked at the content on it, and found that it was for him to raise troops to restore his sight? And it is also said that Li Thief Liukou has withdrawn from the Beijing Division? At present, Wanquan commanded the garrison of the embassy division and disappeared, and as long as he held high the banner of righteousness in the territory of Shanxi Xingdu, those garrisons of the former Ming Dynasty would definitely go forward and respond to the call?

However, the stakes are high, no joke! Therefore, the general soldiers of the former Ming Datong Town did not dare to agree immediately, but fell into contemplation and began to think about what they should do?

The former Ming Datong on the side hurriedly asked, "Is there something going on?" ”

At this moment, the general soldier of the former Ming Datong Town did not speak, but saw that he felt that it was quite reliable, so he handed him the letter to read, and when he learned that the Liukou had retreated from the Central Plains, he couldn't help but feel a little sad when he thought of the blows suffered by his peers!

Now the power is not to mention, but it is still despised by those rogue thieves!

So all kinds of unpleasant feelings began to be revealed, and the former Ming Datong left guard and right staff general took advantage of the noisy scene of the people crowding, and whispered to him in his ear: "Lord Jiang, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" We should obey the will of heaven to overthrow the rogues and save ourselves from suffering this kind of wretchedness! ”

Seeing that someone was willing to contribute really made the chief soldier of the former Ming Datong Town very happy, but he still hesitated! I'm afraid that if the matter is revealed, I will be beheaded all over the house, plus I don't have troops in my hands!

At present, there are only the eldest brother Qianmingyu Linwei Deputy Chief Soldier: Jiang Rang, and the third brother Qianmingyang and Wei General Soldier: Jiang Xuan, and the two still have some soldiers and horses on hand.

But the eldest brother is now in Wanquandu commanding the whereabouts of Si Xuanfu Town! The third brother continued to lead the troops in Yanghewei, and if he wanted to rebel, he had to borrow troops from the third brother first, so that he could have the strength to fight against the rogues in the Dusi Mansion.

After making up his mind, the former Ming Datong town commander sent someone to quietly go to Yanghe Wei to ventilate the news, and the herald had just left not long ago, and the former Ming Datong town commander was a little frightened! Fearing that the matter would leak out, he rode out of the Toshi area at night.

After walking for about a pillar of incense, they came to the Yanghe Acropolis, and the soldiers defending the city heard the sound of horses' hooves? He hurriedly picked up the torch and shone it under the city, and asked him, "Who is under the city?" Why come here in the middle of the night? ”

The following former Ming Datong General Town Chief Soldier responded, "I am the Chief Soldier of Datong General Town: Jiang Jiu, I am a brother with your deputy General Soldier, please open the city gate quickly and let me in." ”

The soldiers defending the city were a little unconvinced when they saw this? After all, the night is dark and the wind is high, and no one can say whether it is a spy or not? It wasn't until the city held up the token of the general soldier of Datong that the soldiers took advantage of the afterglow to look down and believed it, and hurriedly ran to report the situation.

The former Mingyang and the general guard who were drinking wine, eating side dishes, and singing a little song in the guard command post here: Jiang Xuan, just after a few sips of wine and before he could swallow it, he saw the soldiers hurriedly running over and shouting, "Report!" Lord Qiqi Chief Soldier, there are people outside the city who claim to be your brother? Request to enter the city. ”

As soon as the words fell, he choked on a sip of wine, put down the wine glass and asked, "What are you?" Brother? ”

Suddenly the wine woke up a little, and he reacted and thought; Could it be the big brother? Or the second brother coming? With doubts, he told the soldiers to go at once and tell them to open the city gate and let his brother in.

The gate of the city was slowly opened, and when the general soldiers of the former Ming Datong Town were about to enter the city, they met the herald who came here on horseback, and the two glanced at each other and entered the city, and went straight to the guard command post to find their third brother for the first time.

The brothers who hadn't seen each other for a long time immediately burst into tears when they met, hugged each other and couldn't be separated for a long time! Former Mingyang and General Wei were a little curious, so they asked, "Brother, why did you have time to come today?" ”

The former Ming Datong General Soldier with a sad face sat down and poured a glass of wine and drank it, sighing, "Alas, I'm ashamed!" If I had died on the battlefield in order to serve the country, I am afraid that I would not have ended up like this today. ”

When I heard my brother say this, I suddenly felt a trace of remorse? couldn't help but make Mingyang and General Wei feel strange, he also sat down and poured a full wine, and said, "Could it be that those rogues snubbed my brother?" ”

Saying that, Mingyang and General Wei looked around, and whispered to his brother, "Brother, don't lie to you, this Li thief has been defeated!" Just got the news a few days ago that the capital seems to be controlled by the Guan Ning army, so Wu Sangui also set up an emperor? The era name "Yixing" I heard that it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Daming, the son of the first emperor? ”

Knowing that his younger brother also knew about this, the general soldier of the former Ming Datong Town couldn't sit still, and he asked, "Then what does my younger brother plan to do in the future?" ”

I saw that Qianmingyang and General Wei whispered, "What else can I do!" Raise the flag to restore sight, before we returned to the Liukou, it was a last resort! Now seize the opportunity to make friends with the court as soon as possible to get close to each other, then you and I may have the merit of defending the land! ”

After hearing this, the general soldier of the former Ming Datong Town immediately confessed his scheming and expressed his willingness to restore the Ming Dynasty and destroy Shun, but he did not have the strength to ask for cooperation with his younger brother, and the two fought back together to seize the Liukou generals in the Dusi Mansion and incite the defenders to revolt.

I just don't know what's going on with my eldest brother?

In desperation, Mingyang and General Wei had no choice but to reveal, "Don't hide it!" Two days ago, Wanquan commanded the envoy to send news that the Mongol cavalry from the north and south of the desert had invaded south, and there was an epidemic in the vicinity, so the eldest brother, he, and he were probably dead! ”

After that, the general army of the general town of Datong in the Ming Dynasty decided to go back to Shanxi to command the envoy to take the capital mansion, and then turn around to find the whereabouts of the eldest brother, and the two reached an agreement to prepare to send troops the next day.

At the end of the first day of July, as soon as the sun was shining and the Acropolis was gathered, a large number of teams were ready to go, and Mingyang and the general guard parade shouted, "Brothers, today this association will take you to do something big!" became a high-ranking official for everyone, and he was defeated and his bones were scattered. ”

After saying that, he waved his hand and asked him to take the captain of the Dashun Infantry Army, who had escaped from the left guard: with a black face, this person was wearing a blue iron helmet and was tied up and escorted up to show the brothers.

When the people saw that it was their own people? Some of them were excited, and they shouted, "Lord General Soldier, isn't this Lord Zhang Duwei?" What did he do wrong? Why are you betting on it? ”

Then the general soldiers of the former Ming Datong Town began to come up and said, "That's right! He is Zhang Duwei, but if we want to restore the Ming Dynasty today, we must take him to sacrifice the flag. ”

As soon as the words fell, the Ming army on both sides raised their knives and directly cut off the head of the captain of the Dashun infantry army, and hung it on the flagpole, put down the right crimson (crimson) Shunzi flag given by the Dashun Empire, and replaced it with the original Daming Guard's Suzaku Flag, and asked the soldiers to take out the previous general flag and hang it.

After the general soldiers of Datong Town of the Ming Dynasty and the general soldiers of Mingyang and Wei went to worship with incense, they took out the "General Seal of Zhenshuo" given by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and ordered the expedition to march in the direction of the Shanxi Xingdu Command Envoy Sidu Mansion.

The journey was smooth and did not encounter resistance, and when he came directly to the outside of the city of Dusifu and the suspension bridge, there was still a mile away, General Ming Zhenshuo and the chief soldier of Datong Town: Jiang Xuan, hurriedly grabbed the reins and said, "Third brother, it's too ostentatious for us to come over like this!" Besides, I don't know the situation inside, so I'm afraid it's unexpected! Why don't I take a team of people into the city to see how things are going? ”

Mingyang and General Wei felt justified and agreed, giving him a team of soldiers and horses to command, and excitedly, he rode his horse and whipped up, "Lead this town to rush into the city!" ”

Seeing that he rode quickly to the city of Dusifu, the soldiers saw this and asked, "Why is General Jiang going to enter the city?" ”

General Ming Zhenshuo and the general soldier of Datong General Town under the city immediately put away his anger, and said with a hippie smile: "Oh, isn't this idle and boring, I want to have a drink with your Ke Jian Army!" There is a good thing about bothering a few brothers to open the gates. ”

The soldiers above thought that there was no problem, so they ordered the city gate to be opened and let him in.

After General Ming Zhenshuo and the general army of Datong entered the city, he directly led fifteen accompanying soldiers to the Dusi Mansion, as long as he saw the Shun army guards along the way, he excused himself to drink and gave a few coins of silver to the Shun army, and the Shun army guards did not stop them, thinking that it was normal drinking!

When he came to the door of the lobby, he saw the Dashun Datong Supervisor sitting and drinking tea inside: Ke Tianxiang, and only then did the anger of General Ming Zhenshuo and the general soldier of Datong Town, he pulled out his saber and walked over angrily.
