Chapter 118: The Governor is in prison
Shao Jiechun's character is Zhaofu, Hou Guanren. Jinshi in the forty-seventh year of Wanli, Chongzhen embarked on a career in the second year, participated in politics for the right of Sichuan, guarded southern Sichuan, and Fuding Tianquan Liufangao, Yang Ershi, and was promoted to Zhejiang according to the inspector. Later, he was promoted to deputy envoy of Sichuan, and Yu Chongzhen took office in Chengdu in the autumn of the tenth year.
At that time, the Shaanxi Righteous Army had been fighting in Sichuan, the governor Wang Weizhang and the general soldier Hou Liangzhu led the troops to the north, and there were only a few Tuntian troops and Shu Fu guards in the city of Chengdu A, and they heard that the righteous army was about to fight in Chengdu Adu, and the villagers near Chengdu Adu were worried and panicked, and they poured into Chengdu Adu for refuge, and Shao Jiechun opened the city gate to take in refugees.
At that time, there was a lieutenant named Feng Hao who rebelled against the water, echoed with the righteous army, and hit the city of Chenga, was captured alive by Shao Jiechunsheng, and beheaded in the street to show the public, which played a role in stabilizing people's hearts.
After the rebel army was defeated, the king of Shu neglected his merits, went to the imperial court, and promoted Shao Jiechun to the governor of Sichuan. During his tenure of office, he was a prudent person, governed Shu with a beneficial government, and was deeply loved by the people.
He didn't understand military affairs, and he personally came to inspect the front of the battle, all to cheer up the soldiers who were holding Kuimen.
On 20 July, the army of Gao Junshan began the battle to attack Kuimen, and the first to attack Kuimen was of course Marven's field artillery battalion, and the repeated flowering bombs exploded on Zhang Zuokai's defensive position, and the officers and soldiers did not know how to dodge at all, and they all ran straight and straight, so as soon as the bomb flew over, it was directly blown off the head, and the death was very miserable.
After half an hour of artillery bombardment, followed by the iron balls of Hongyi cannons pouring in, the position that Zhang Zuokai painstakingly managed was beaten to a thousand holes, and there were not even a few people left, the entire position was beaten to the point that there was no power to fight back, and the rebels of Gao Junshan began to force the Yangtze River to fight, hundreds of large and small warships, under the command of Yuan Tao, approached the pass, Zhang Zuokai could not organize effective troops, and had to give up resistance and run back to the Chinese army's big tent.
"Lord Fujun, run! The thieves have come ashore! Zhang Zuokai shouted loudly when he arrived at Yuanmen.
As soon as he shouted, the entire Chinese army bombed the camp, Shao Jiechun didn't expect Gao Junshan to attack the shore so quickly, and ran out of the tent in a panic: "Prepare the horses!" Prepare the horses! ”
His soldiers brought his horse, and he mounted it and ran away.
As soon as he ran, the entire Chinese army ran away in the same way, and those who grabbed the horses left the barracks one by one after Shao Jiechun......
Shao Jiechun rode and ran for a long time, and had escaped more than 50 miles, leaving only a dozen personal soldiers behind him, and then seeing that there were no chasing soldiers behind, he put his mind at ease, reined in the reins of the horse, and said "Huh-" to the ground, and after the horse stopped, he got off the horse, sat on a big rock, and rested for a long time.
"My lord, let's hurry up! The pursuers will come at some point. A pro-soldier reminded.
"Let the pursuers come!" Shao Jiechun complained and said, "I'm a dignified governor, and now I don't even have a place to stay, so let the thieves catch it!" ”
"My lord, let's go to Chongqing first, anyway, the Yang Pavilion Department is still there."
"I'm not going! I'm not going! ”
Other soldiers also surrounded Shao Jiechun and persuaded Shao Jiechun to leave quickly, but Shao Jiechun just refused to go.
After a while, Zhang Zuokai also caught up, he saw Shao Jiechun, dismounted and saluted: "Lord Fujun, why are you still here, the thieves will chase after you immediately, let's go!" ”
"Let's go? Where am I going? Do you want to go back to Kuizhou? Shao Jiechun said angrily.
Zhang Zuokai said: "Lord Fujun, Kuizhou is definitely not able to go, once Kuimen is lost, Kuizhou will have no danger to defend, let's go to Chongqing quickly!" ”
Shao Jiechun refused to move, Zhang Zuokai said that he finally said that Shao Jiechun was moved, and the group of routs fled towards Chongqing.
As soon as he arrived in Chongqing, Shao Jiechun was arrested by Yang Sichang and thrown into prison on charges of delaying the fighter plane and failing to stop the enemy......
Kuizhou.
After Gao Junshan's army broke through the Kuimen natural danger, they drove straight into Kuizhou and occupied Kuizhou.
Kuizhou is a historical ancient city, has always been a place where soldiers must fight, breaking Kuizhou, then, the east gate of Sichuan is equivalent to opening to the high mountains, the next step he can go straight to Chongqing.
In order to fight steadily, Gao Junshan decided not to fight Chongqing for the time being, he wanted to reorganize the army in Kuizhou, mainly to carry out a political education for the soldiers of the 13 families of the original Huang Dynasty, these people have a very serious hooligan habit, when they enter Kuizhou, they are the main force, as soon as they enter Kuizhou, they gather people to loot, and the impact is very bad.
Gao Junshan had already considered this problem, so he specially transferred a hundred supervisors from Chongwen Academy to transform these 'local tyrants' army. The so-called supervision is equivalent to a political instructor.
The reputation of the Thirteen Shakers in Sichuan is very bad, they disturb the people in various states and counties, and are called 'local tyrants' by the people. The lawsuit is tied, and there is nothing to do. And for a time, the gentleman's family was a slave and a servant, and he destroyed his master, and he rose accordingly. In the deep mountains and valleys, the fence was erected, the flag was marked, the township was raided, and people were used for food. …… At that time, in the south and north of Sichuan, the fear of "local tyrants" was more than that of the rogues.
Gao Junshan fed them, gathered them to give them training, completely reformed them ideologically, and at the same time carried out military training to build them into a qualified regular army.
When these people have enough to eat, the habits of the bandits are reduced a lot, and with the guidance and brainwashing of the supervisors, this team is gradually transforming.
This newly recruited army totaled 90,000 people, and the main generals were Yuan Tao and Hu Jiusi, at this time Wu Dading had already led his 50,000 horses to Fang County to accept the jurisdiction of He Renlong, and Gao Junshan also sent a supervisor to He Renlong's side.
Gao Junshan divided them into two brigades and named them the Sixth Brigade and the Seventh Brigade of the Western Route Army. Gao Junshan also summoned other important generals of the two brigades: Wang Xiang, Li Harizi, Yu Dahai, Ma Chao, Liu Weimin, Yang San, Zhang Xian, Liang Shizheng, Jiao Deming, Wang Youjin, and Wang Guangxing.
Gao Junshan was rectifying military affairs in Kuizhou while waiting for the arrival of the logistics department's transport team, because the newly added troops needed a large number of firearms, and the ammunition for the field artillery was all used up when the gate was opened, and the logistics department needed a timely supply.
In mid-August, Gao Junshan received information from hungry people who had fled from Chongqing that Shao Jiechun, the governor of Sichuan, had been arrested by Yang Sichang and was now being held in a prison in Chongqing, awaiting trial in Beijing.
Tian Wenju smelled some smell from this information, and he said to Gao Junshan: "King Qin, I heard that Shao Jiechun was a clean and prudent person during his tenure, and he was very popular with the people of Sichuan. He is now in prison, if we rescue him and use him for my use, with him, in the future, we will govern Sichuan and win the hearts and minds of the people, and we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. ”
Gao Junshan nodded again and again, and said, "What Gongren said is extremely true! ”
