Chapter 203: Changes in the Sea
Zhang Yuzao? Now Shi Tinglan and Feng Sixian didn't expect the situation to suddenly change so much.
This Zhang Governor was still desperately organizing resistance in Linhai City two or three days ago, and it was precisely because his resistance was stronger than expected that the Linhuang Battle of the Hong Army did not end smoothly as expected, and in the end it fell short, and Linhai City was still controlled by the Qing army.
But this Zhang Governor, who has made great contributions to the fight against the Hong Army, actually came to vote alone like Ye Niangzi, you must know that Ye Niangzi is really desperate, but he Zhang Governor's Mansion still has thousands of soldiers, tens of thousands of military salaries, and even four counties.
Especially for the Gaoliangcai County Order, he was even more happy and surprised, happy that his original boss came to vote, and he played the role of Fan Yang Xu Gong, and was surprised that this Gao Zhifu is now holding tens of thousands of soldiers and thousands of soldiers plus four counties to vote, so his former Zhixian County, who made up his mind to join the Hongjun after breaking the city, suddenly became weightless, you know, this is a prefect.
The Qing Dynasty entered the customs for hundreds of years, and since the rebellion of the three feudatories, there was only one prefect Gu Yuankai who took refuge in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and now Zhang Yuzao has become the second.
However, Governor Zhang was very interested, and he hurriedly asked Gao Zhifu: "I wonder if Gao Futai can introduce who these girls are and this heroic husband?" ”
Feng Sixian immediately introduced himself and said: "Xiaguan is Feng Sixian of Huangyan County, Lord Zhang came to Conglong, Xiaguan is very honored, but it's a pity that our inspection is not in Huangyan, these two are Shi Tinglan Shi Niangniang, Yang Changmei Yang Niangniang!" ”
Zhang Yuzao glanced at it secretly, but it was two big-footed girls, who were probably the legendary real long-haired big-footed thief, but he had heard of it. This Shi Niangniang is the sister-in-law of the Wing King Shi Dakai, and Yang Niangniang is the sister-in-law of Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, and immediately knelt down again: "The criminal minister was stubborn in Linhai before, and he resisted the righteous master to enter the city, he really deserved to die, he really deserved to die, he deserved to die!" I also asked the two mothers to forgive the sins of the sinners! ”
Shi Tinglan was a little depressed in her heart, and their Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had also attacked the city. They swept thousands of miles, but the civil and military officials guarding each city were quite stubborn, either committing suicide or dying in battle, and even if they were captured, they would never throw themselves into heaven.
But this Liu Changliu checkpoint is different, he only owns two counties. There have been Huangyan Zhixian sorghum materials to vote after the city was broken, and now there is more prefect Zhang Yuzao to vote.
This is the prefect of a prefecture that still has four counties!
However, she still smiled: "What are you doing talking about these old things, Lord Zhang took the initiative to follow the dragon, it is a fortunate thing for the country, presumably there is at least one Zhongcheng after the inspection!" ”
Zhang Yuzao was forced to come to Huangyan County in desperation, but as soon as he heard Shi Tinglan's words, he immediately smiled: "Thank you Shi Niangniang for your kind words, if you can be the governor of the country." Zhang is satisfied in this life, but before that, I also ask Shi Niangniang, Yang Niangniang and the inspector to save tens of thousands of people in Linhai City! ”
"What's going on?" Shi Tinglan immediately knew that something must have happened in Linhai City, otherwise Zhang Yuzao would not have been forced to join the Hongjun alone, she immediately asked: "Now the inspection point is not in Huangyan, I will make the decision for him!" ”
Zhang Yuzao also told the truth: "The last time the volunteers came to attack the city, I was confused for a while. promised a reward of 60,000 silver, and promised a soup and medicine fee and a pension, who would have thought that although the volunteers took the initiative to retreat, these Taiyong made a mess in the city! ”
The military salary escorted by General Lin was not much in the past, and a batch was divided into Taiyong during the war, and in the end, only 20,000 taels of available military salary remained, as for the treasury of Taizhou Mansion. It's already empty.
Under these circumstances, Zhang Yuzao thought very cleverly, and wanted to make a fortune in it, so he openly set up a fund-raising bureau and sent members to raise military expenses inside and outside the city. I'm going to raise at least another 10,000 or 20,000 pieces of silver. …,
It's just that no matter how smart he thinks, it's not as fast as this time, as soon as he heard the news that Changmao had entered from western Zhejiang, the shops and gentry who were usually very deferential to Zhang Yuzao rebelled unanimously, and they refused to even give out a few taels of silver.
Zhang Yuzao only got one or two thousand silver, but he was a good personality, so he took the lead in lifting five thousand taels into his pocket, who would have thought that this would leak the atmosphere, Tai Yong first advocated chaos, and then several guest soldiers also rushed into the downtown to loot, and even killed and injured many people.
Zhang Yuzao couldn't control the situation at all, he knew that he had caused a big mess, and this responsibility must be borne by himself.
He had the intention of escaping from the capital city of Taizhou, but after thinking about it carefully, he knew that it was now in the middle of the war, and the Qing Dynasty had killed several second-grade and above officials, all of whom abandoned the city and left, and most of them were still Manchurian.
He is a Han prefect, although there is some backstage, how can he escape the Qing Dynasty, if he doesn't leave, he will definitely be harmed by the troublesome Taiyong, even if he can escape the catastrophe of Taiyong, then the red thief will turn around and break through Linhai.
He can now say that he can't go away, and in his desperation, he remembered that Gao Liangcai, the dog thief, has become a thief, and it is said that he has mixed well among the thieves, and he has already won the title of prefect.
As soon as he thought of this, he felt hatred, this high dog thief had cheated him too much, if he had a blood letter, how could Chen Shizhong go back and fight with Liu Jiehu.
But soon he felt that he had found a way to live, Gao Liang can be a thief, he is a prefect of a prefecture, why can't he be a thief? What's more, this is from the dragon!
He could already see a hint of the new dynasty atmosphere from this rainbow army, and according to people who had seen Liu Juehu, he often came to describe him as Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, and he was much more relieved for a while.
Emperor Guangwu's ministers all have a good death, and if they throw themselves in the past, they must be the founding heroes, and they still have enough capital in their hands!
Now the four counties of Taizhou are still obeying the dispatch of this prefect, and he has a lot of private individuals in these four counties, even if he can't pull them all over, it is always no problem to pull over one or two counties.
Therefore, as soon as he gritted his teeth, he immediately came to vote alone, and Shi Niangniang was not ambiguous, and also gave a promise to Zhongcheng.
In the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty, Zhongcheng was the synonym of the governor, so he immediately said: "Please send a strong force to return to Linhai with me immediately, as long as Linhai is recovered, the whole Taiwan is in the hands of my righteous teacher!" ”
Hongjun has the three counties of Huangyan, Taiping and Linhai in his hands, even if Zhang Yuzao can still be his Taizhou prefect, his life is boring.
You know, this is the most elite three counties in the entire Taizhou Mansion, and Shi Tinglan was immediately moved: "Linhai City, I didn't expect that a few days ago, it was Governor Zhang who blocked my Hong Army in Linhai City, and today it was Governor Zhang who invited us into Linhai City. ”
Zhang Yuzao was even more earnest, he originally wanted to get an important position: "It's not appropriate to do this, please set off immediately!" ”
Now there are many soldiers in Huangyan County, in addition to the main force of the Huangyan Taiping Independent Battalion, there are still a part of the Panshi Battalion, the Cattle Knife Battalion, the Punishment Battalion and the Cavalry Battalion, so Shi Tinglan made up his mind very easily: "Invite Battalion Commander Sun, Battalion Commander Shi, and Battalion Commander Lu to come over!" ”
It's just that militarily, she couldn't trust Feng Sixian, so she turned around and asked: "Is there a problem with leaving only the independent battalion to stick to Huangyan County?" ”
"With the Huangyan victory in front, how dare some Huangyan militias dare to confront my righteous division, the blood of hundreds of lives in front of them has not dried up, not to mention that their main force has been crossed!"
"What troops should be sent to Linhai to quell the rebellion in the city?"
Although Fu Wendao is the platoon commander of the second company of Jintang, he is a person who can make decisions in military affairs: "Dragon Lance Battalion, they are the most suitable!" ”…,
"Didn't the Dragon Lance Battalion go to Su Jingrong's lair to sweep up? What's that place called? ”
Zhang Yuzao, who was newly invested next to him, said impatiently: "It's Jia Lan, that's the Taizhou Tongzhi station, which is very close to the capital city, just send a horse to invite them back!" ”
Feng Sixian fought for the task of the Huang Tai Independent Battalion where he was located, and Fu Wendao over there was already impatient and said: "In this way, our Jintang Second Company and the Panshi Battalion will go out together to escort Governor Zhang's Mansion back to Fucheng to quell the rebellion, and at the same time let the Dragon Lance Battalion return to Linhai, two battalions are enough to storm Taizhou Fucheng!" ”
"Rest assured!" Zhang Yuzao immediately said: "Although I came to vote alone, there are people arranged in the city wall and the city, as long as the righteous teacher arrives, it will be anyway immediately!" ”
With such a promise from him, Shi Tinglan immediately agreed: "Platoon Commander Fu, I'm sorry for you!" ”
Although Feng Sixian's status is much higher than Fu Wendao, she can trust Fu Wendao militarily, and Fu Wendao over there doesn't care whether she can command a company or battalion commander who is several levels higher than herself, and she doesn't mention that this order has not been approved by Liu Chang, so she immediately ran outside, and didn't go far before she met Sun Huzi of the Panshi Battalion: "Sun Huzi, it's just right, let's fight Taizhou together!" ”
Sun Huzi was inexplicable, he didn't want to listen to the dispatch of a small platoon commander: "Fight Taizhou?" Whose order! ”
"Shi Niangniang's order, Yang Niangniang's order!" Fu Wendao took the chicken feather as an arrow: "Sun Huzi, you are so bold, do you want to resist the order!" ”
Sun Huzi softened suddenly: "What's the matter?" ”
Over there, Fu Wendao had already invited Zhang Yuzao to the horse, and at the same time told Sun Huzi: "This is Governor Zhang's Mansion?" No, it's Governor Zhang, Shi Niangniang just promised him a governor! ”
Most of the officials of the Qing Dynasty had no ability to resist money and power, and Zhang Yuzao immediately said modestly: "No, how to use me specifically, everything has to be checked and said to be calculated, Shi Niangniang just mentioned it in passing!" ”
Just looking at the smug look on his face, it seems that he is very sure about this governor, even if this governor may not have a place, and Sun Huzi also understands: "You are Zhang Yuzao Zhang Demon Head?" Okay, we're here anyway! ”
Zhang Yuzao frowned at first, but as soon as he heard the second sentence added by Sun Huzi, he immediately nodded again and again: "We are also from the old ministers of Long, and the dynasty is our old ministers, and we have to take care of each other in the future!" ”
Sun Huzi also smiled: "Most of the brothers of our Rock Camp are from the Green Camp anyway, and they have taken care of it a lot." (To be continued......)
