Chapter 226: Four Hundred Heads
Seeing that the boiled duck was about to fly away, Zilharang jumped to his feet in a hurry: "Marshal Kong, order your artillery to fire immediately and bomb those ships to me." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Lord Belle." Kong Youde visually measured the distance from the sea, "Our artillery can't hit so far, it can't reach." β
"Someone." Zilharang turned on his horse and took his broadsword, "Warriors of the Great Khan, charge with me!" β
"Lord Belle, you can't charge." Kong Youde knew the power of artillery, and stretched out his hand to stop Jilharang, "Lord Belle, leave these warriors for Dajin, Yue dragged Belle's lessons from the past." β
Zilharang got off his horse in hatred: "Let them run, the boiled duck run." β
"Ding Jun." Ye Zhan's second battalion was left at the end, "ordering the troops to retreat." β
Of the nearly 3,000 mixed brigades at the time of departure, only more than 1,200 people boarded the ship, including nearly 300 wounded.
All the traversers gathered on the Fuzhou, and no one spoke. Since the landing 4 years ago, it has always been smooth sailing to fight He Laosan, Liu Xiang, Vietnam, and Westerners. However, this time, the mixed brigade lost its troops and returned defeated.
"Nanpu is gone, where are we going?" Wang Zhaoxing was the first to ask.
"Go to Dengzhou." Xu Lang replied, "Liu Guannan must find a place to recuperate now, and we must also find a place to replenish supplies and heal the wounded soldiers." β
Wang Zhaoxing asked again: "Why do you want to go to Dengzhou, can Chen Yingyuan let us go?" β
"Yes." Xu Lang said, "We have more than 400 heads of Eight Banners in our hands, and Chen Yingyuan needs this." β
Two days later, the fleet appeared in the sea outside Dengzhou.
The four gates of Dengzhou City were closed, and Chen Yingyuan stood on the head of the city again.
Without any negotiation, Han Wantao ordered Ye Zhan to lead people to carry the severed Tartar heads and captured armor banners under the banner of the Ming Dynasty onto the shore and pile them up under the city of Dengzhou. Then he shot a letter and a crossbow arrow into the city.
After waiting for most of the day, the city gate finally opened. A detachment of officers and soldiers came out and carried the heads and captives into the city, and then closed the gates again.
"Why are they closed again?" Han Wantao asked puzzled.
"This Chen Yingyuan is very careful." Xu Lang said with a smile, "He wants to see if these heads are really the heads of the Eight Banners, and he is also afraid that we will kill the good and take the risk." β
"They're not going to take the head and it's over, are they?"
"Wait a minute, Chen Yingyuan should meet us."
Han Wantao and the others waited for another hour, and a group of officers and soldiers boarded the Fuzhou in a small boat.
A thousand households led by him stood on the deck and glanced around: "Which of you is Han Wantao, one of the hundred households in Yazhou?" β
Han Wantao stepped forward and replied: "The next official is Han Wantao, a hundred households in Yazhou." β
"You are Han Baihu?" The Qianhu looked at Han Wantao, clenched his fists and said, "The governor of my family has invited Han Baihu, please Han Baihu come with me into the city to talk." β
"There are thousands of households." Han Wantao and Xu Lang took a few people to follow this thousand households into Dengzhou City.
In the Dengzhou City Mansion, Han Wantao and Xu Lang stood with their hands down, and it was Chen Yingyuan, the governor of Denglai, sitting on the Taishi chair opposite.
"Han Baihu, are you guilty?" Chen Yingyuan suddenly asked sharply.
Han Wantao was stunned: "My lord, what is the crime of the lower officials?" β
"What a sin." Chen Yingyuan pointed at Han Wantao, "Since you are the Yazhou sailors, you have no generals and no will, so you lead the people to go north without authorization, what is your intention?" β
"Good question, sir." Xu Lang behind Han Wantao stepped forward, "Kong Youde made a mess, broke through the gold against the gold, Datong Town, and the people of Xuanfu Town are not happy." My Yazhou sailor was worried about national affairs, and he attacked Shengjing thousands of miles away, and most of the 3,000 soldiers were lost. Even so, we just want to report to the imperial court, and to calm down the people, without complaint, and the four hundred Zhenyi heads are dedicated to the adults. Dare to ask your lord, is there such an unauthorized soldier? The adults asked us what our intentions were, and we waited for our intentions, only for the people of the world, and only for the eternal rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty. I wonder if you can be satisfied with such a reply below? β
Chen Yingyuan stared at Xu Lang for a long time and didn't speak, and spit out four words for a while: "Who are you?" β
"In Yulin Bay, Xiaya Prefecture, overseas pre-Song relics." Xu Lang smiled slightly, "I have made it clear in the letter to the adults. β
Xu Lang hoped to use the head of 400 Eight Banners to get through with Chen Yingyuan this time, so he did not hide his identity in the letter. And clearly told Chen Yingyuan that he just wanted to rest in Dengzhou City for a few days and treat the wounded. After the situation stabilized, he immediately returned to Yulin Bay, and the 400 heads were given as a gift to Lord Chen.
Chen Yingyuan still has a good understanding of the current situation, although Kong Youde's rebellion has been quelled, but he did not capture Kong Youde alive, but let him surrender to Huang Taiji. And this time the Tartars broke through, I heard that Datong Town and Xuanfu Town were closed to various places, and so far I haven't even seen a Zhenyi head. Emperor Chongzhen was furious, Datong Town and Xuanfu Town had already removed a group of generals, and it was difficult to say whether this saint, who no one could understand, would be angry with him.
Now Yazhou suddenly sent 400 Tartar heads, Chen Yingyuan ordered people to check them one by one, it is indeed the head of Zhenyi, and there is actually a solid mountain in it. Chen Yingyuan felt that if these 400 heads were reported to BJ, maybe he would be able to rise one more liter, at least this Denglai governor would be able to keep it. In fact, in Chen Yingyuan's heart, he didn't care too much about whether Han Wantao and these people were Yazhou sailors or remnants of the Great Song Dynasty, and the question just now just wanted to show the majesty of the governor.
Now seeing that Xu Lang's answer was neither humble nor arrogant, and it was reasonable, Chen Yingyuan also slowly eased his temper: "Since you are worried about state affairs, this official will not embarrass you, your wounded can go to the city to recuperate, but the army must be stationed outside the city." β
"Governor Xie." Han Wantao and Xu Lang thanked each other.
Chen Yingyuan inquired in detail about the surprise attack on Shengjing, and Han Wantao and Xu Lang did not hide it, but only skipped the section on Tao Min and Tao Gong's defection.
Three hundred wounded were carried into Dengzhou City, and Xu Lang found a relatively clean place to settle Liu Guannan.
Liu Guannan's fever has subsided now, but his entire left arm is basically necrotic. The traversers in the mixed brigade all understood that after returning to Yulin Bay, they might have to do amputation, but fortunately, Ouyang Zhengping still had some anesthetic that was preserved at the beginning.
"Xu Lang." Liu Guannan lay on the hospital bed and looked at the roof blankly, "We lost this time." β
"Guannan, don't think too much." Xu Lang tucked the quilt corner for Liu Guannan, "Let's all think about the problem simply, the trajectory of history is not so easy to change, let's talk about everything when we return to Yulin Bay." β
"But Deng Zhaohui and Li Xiao." Liu Guannan turned his head in pain, "They can't go back." β
"Guannan, don't blame yourself too much." Xu Lang stared at his severed finger, "We will definitely take revenge for this revenge." β
The mixed brigade rested in Dengzhou City for seven or eight days and continued to set sail south.
Before leaving, Chen Yingyuan had already sent someone to send the 400 heads and seizures to BJ and told Han Wantao that the overseas remnants of Yulin Bay were also mentioned in the recital to Emperor Chongzhen.
Chen Yingyuan has his own plans in his heart, even if Han Wantao's annihilation of the elite of the Three Thousand Eight Banners is boasting, but the four hundred heads are real. Moreover, Chen Yingyuan has carefully looked at the ten warships moored on the sea in the past few days, Kong Youde took away all the artillery and warships in Dengzhou City, and the current Dengzhou City lacks major generals, and it is really difficult for him to be the governor of Denglai. Chen Yingyuan had the idea of including these remnants of the Song Dynasty under his command, but this still needed to listen to the emperor's opinion first.
"Great victory, great victory." A little eunuch ran wildly in the Forbidden City, "Enlighten the master, Xuanfu Town is a great victory." β
Emperor Chongzhen was frowning in the house, Datong Town and Xuanfu Town had no news of victory these days, and Chongzhen, who was in his early 20s, did not see the slightest shadow of a young man on his face.
The little eunuch ran into the house and knelt on the ground: "Master Qi, the general army of Xuanfu Town is playing, the Tartars have been repulsed, and Xuanfu Town has won a great victory." β
"Bring it to me." Chongzhen was very excited to take the fold.
"Bastards, all bastards." Looking at it, Chongzhen slammed the fold to the ground, "Come and deceive me, come and deceive me." β
The little eunuch didn't know why Chongzhen was suddenly angry, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word.
"The master is angry, and the master takes care of the dragon's body." Wang Chengen on the side picked up the fold and secretly gave the little eunuch a look, and the little eunuch quietly slipped out.
"These mediocre ministers, one by one, have come to deceive me." Chongzhen's anger did not subside, "What do you say about the great victory of Xuanfu Town, it is a great victory, but why is it not mentioned in the compromise?" β
"The master doesn't have to be angry with them." Wang Chengen persuaded, "The master must take good care of the dragon body, and our Daming Jiangshan Sheji still has to rely on the master to maintain it." β
"Great victory, great victory, great victory in Liaodong." As soon as Wang Chengen's words fell, another little eunuch ran in with a fold, "Master Qi, the governor of Denglai is playing, and Liaodong is victorious." β
"Smack", Chongzhen smashed the tea bowl in his hand, "It's nonsense, Lushun has fallen, I don't have a soldier or a general in Liaodong, how can I win a big victory?" β
"This." The little eunuch didn't know how to reply, and looked at Wang Chengen for help.
"I don't know what is dead or alive, and I don't retreat." Wang Chengen took Chen Yingyuan's recital from the hands of the little eunuch, and continued to comfort Chongzhen while opening it and looking at it, "Master, don't be angryγγγγγγ β
Wang Chengen stopped abruptly in the middle of his words.
"Master, it's really a great victory in Liaodong." Wang Chengen held the song in front of Chongzhen, "Chen Yingyuan said that he won 400 Zhenyi heads, and seized a number of armor banners, and sent them to the Beijing Division. β
Chongzhen was also stunned, took the fold from Wang Chengen's hand, and said to himself: "Win four hundred Zhenyi? β
"Someone." Wang Chengen shouted. "Where is the messenger from Dengzhou now?"
"Back to the prince." The little eunuch just now replied, "I am waiting for the decree outside the palace gate." β
"Announce quickly."
After a while, an envoy wearing a thousand official uniforms walked in and knelt on the ground: "Long live Wechen knock, I wish my lord long live, long live, long live." β
"Where is the head of the Tartar?" Chongzhen didn't care about anything else, and asked eagerly.
"Long live the return, the heads of the four hundred Tartars have been sent to the military headquarters for inspection."
"Herald." Chongzhen stood up from the dragon chair, "I want to check it myself." β
"Master, master." Wang Chengen persuaded, "The blood light is ominous, the master should not look at it." β
"Nope." Chongzhen said, "I must go and see it for myself." β
Wang Chengen had no choice but to send an edict to move the military department.
Chongzhen's Luan drove slowly in the Forbidden City, and Wang Chengen quietly pulled the Dengzhou Qianhu aside: "Where did you get the head?" Chen Yingyuan's courage is also too big, if the Long Live Lord sees the clue in a while, your head will be gone. β
"Back to the prince." That Qianhu was not afraid at all, "Lord Chen is by no means deceived Long live, it is the head of a real tartar, we have tested them one by one." β
"The human head of a real Tartar?" Wang Chengen saw that the thousand households answered very affirmatively, and he didn't panic at all, and he couldn't help but secretly suspect in his heart, Dengzhou City is now short of major generals, Chen Yingyuan really attacked Liaodong? (To be continued.) )
