Chapter 180: Heavenly Collapse
Chapter 180: Heavenly Collapse
In some ways, the speed of these routs can be described as a miracle, only two or three hours of hard work they rushed all the way from Huangyan County to Linhai City, but Zhang Yuzao watched so many routs shouting under the city, and there was a feeling that the sky was falling, and he almost fell to the ground, he held on to the battlement wall and shouted: "Kaicheng!" Kaesong! ”
As soon as he shouted like this, General Lin Shen said repeatedly: "No, no! Never! ”
But Zhang Zhifu is the highest governor of a county in Taizhou, Zhang Yuzao gave an order, the original closed city gate has been opened, and the defeated soldiers are crying and rushing in, Zhang Yuzao shouted repeatedly: "Chen Shizhong Chen Zhentai is back?" Is Chen Zhentai back? ”
It's just that although these soldiers broke through, they didn't care about Chen Zhentai's whereabouts, they only said: "Defeated, defeated, defeated!" Chen Zhentai doesn't know his whereabouts! ”
General Lin immediately felt very embarrassed, and he said to Zhang Yuzao repeatedly: "Everything can be found Chen Zhentai's whereabouts first!" ”
Chen Shizhong died in battle, that is a loyal martyr, if he is alive, it is the end of killing on the spot, the most feared Chen Shizhong can't think of a thief, so if you want to cover the coffin, you must first figure out the life and death of Chen Shizhong.
It's just that in the chaos of the army, there is a mess, how can you find out the whereabouts of Chen Zhentai, a group of people said: "Defeated, defeated!" The red thief has a horse team of 2,000, and suddenly it came out, and our army was in a good situation, but unexpectedly, the red thief horse team came out, and the people's hearts were scattered all of a sudden! ”
This is to find an excuse for his own failure, Zhang Yuzao looked at the only one or two hundred defeated soldiers now, he couldn't help but think and feel sad, he cried loudly: "Chen Shizhong took all the three battalions of my Taizhou Association with him!" ”
As he was talking, he saw another team of Qing army rout appearing in the field of vision, Zhang Yuzao took a look, but it was not the Qing army, but the defeated regimental training, although he couldn't see clearly in the night, but they were all wearing uniforms, it was indeed a regimental exercise, and he immediately said: "Hate Chen Shizhong, hate Chen Shizhong!" What a ...... Shizhong."
The city gate was opened, and the team of about forty or fifty people ran in embarrassment, and when they arrived at the city, Zhang Yuzao stretched out his body and asked Chen Shizhong's whereabouts: "What's the matter with Chen Zhentai, is Chen Zhentai alive or dead!" ”
Someone in that team immediately replied in Taizhou dialect: "Chen Zhentai died, Chen Zhentai died in his post!" The army broke through, Chen Zhentai risked his life to block back, but he encountered a series of red thieves and guns, and there was no one left, and all of them were killed! ”
As soon as he heard that Chen Shizhong had died in his post, Zhang Yuzao was happy and sad, but said: "He died happily, leaving you and me uncomfortable!" ”
Hearing that Chen Shizhong was dead, General Lin Shen breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "It's easy to ask for death in this matter, you and I deserve to be guilty!" ”
It's just that the next moment he suddenly shouted: "Close the city gate, close the city gate!" Close the gates! ”
The entire Linhai City shook with his voice, and then the gunshots rang out.
……
Under the golden sunlight, Su Jingrong's face was a little broken, and he shouted loudly: "Brothers, there are so many brothers participating in the grand event, I can afford to look up to me Su Jingrong, I Su Jingrong is very pleased!" ”
Although Su Jingrong claimed to be to gather the heroes of the 26th Road, and even to besiege the 400 red thieves in Huangyan City with 40,000 soldiers, after all, in a hurry, in addition to the few brave troops under his control, only some neighboring regiments were forced to come to participate.
As the leading strongman in Taizhou Mansion, the name Su Jingrong is absolutely effective, but it is half a day's work, and three thousand brave people have been gathered, and there is a tendency to continue to gather, among which there are no less than two thousand strong men with combat effectiveness, which can be said to be the essence of the group training in Huangyan and Linhai counties, and the leaders are all famous strongmen in the county, such as Huang Xiude, Huang Yanxuan, Guan Jiyong and others.
And these Tuan Yong gathered around him Su Jingrong, Su Jingrong looked at them and asked loudly, "Do you want to get rich?" I know you're all mud-legged, poor, at most a dozen acres of thin fields, and you have more than a dozen thousand dollars around you! At the time of Daoxian, the entire Chinese countryside was on the verge of bankruptcy, which was also a hotbed for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and a number of armed uprisings among the people, Taizhou was no exception, and these Tuanding were no exception, even if the leader of the Tuanyong among them was at most a small landlord, and it was impossible to come up with three or five thousand yuan in case of temporary trouble.
As for the following group of braves, not to mention, if it weren't for the group members who could make a few dollars, most of them would not want to do this group of bravery, only Guan Jiyong and Huang Yanhuo were two nominal braves, both of whom were local bandits who made a living by looting, and only big leaders like Su Jingrong and Huang Xiude were the big landlords on the rich side.
Su Jingrong saw that many of the group members lowered their heads, so he laughed: "Now that the opportunity to get rich has come, the red thieves are in Huangyan County, do you know how rich they are?" ”
He casually lifted a plate, and as soon as he lifted the red scarf on the plate, he saw that the gold and silver flashed together, gold necklaces, gold bracelets, gold bracelets, silver bracelets, gold ingots, and silver ingots, Tuan Yong became fanatical, Su Jingrong told them: "I know how these came from, I killed a red thief and snatched it from him!" ”
It is said that Su Jingrong is both civil and military, and now everyone has seen it, Su Jingrong continued: "Tell you, Wenjun has always been a rich area, with millions of fertile land, and the benefits of fishing and salt industry and commerce, and the red thieves are crisscrossing Wenjun, winning many battles, and have made enough gold and silver, and now they are running to our Taizhou!" ”
He grabbed a gold ingot and told these Tuanyong: "They want to grab a full meal in our Taizhou, but I told them, you miscalculated, we have nothing else in Taizhou, that is, the barefoot poor brothers are the most, and the barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes, we have no land, no house, no silver, so what should we do, just rely on one hand to rob!" ”
Su Jingrong immediately fell into the wolves, with burning eyes everywhere, Su Jingrong continued to tell his subordinates: "Tell you, every red thief has gold, silver, and jewelry, it depends on whether you are willing to rob it, as long as you grab it, it will be yours!" ”
In history, Su Jingrong used this means to call on Taiyong, the Taiping army at that time broke Su Chang, took Hangzhou, and took Hangjia, it can be said that everyone is wearing gold and silver, and after Taiyong fought with the Taiping army, they also found that as long as they killed a Taiping army, the gold, silver and jewelry on their bodies belonged to themselves, and they rushed to be the first for a while, taking advantage of the opportunity of the main force of the Taiping army to go south to Wenzhou, and recovering the six counties of Taizhou with the power of the militia group, which was regarded as a miracle of war by Zuo Zongtang.
And in this time and space, Su Jingrong couldn't find an example, but Tai Yong had also heard of the treatment of red thieves, and they all said that red thieves had rice to eat, fish and meat every day, new clothes on their bodies, foreign guns on their backs, and even new shoes, such treatment they had never heard of.
Thinking about it this way, the red thief should be covered with gold and silver, as long as he kills a few red thieves, then he will be developed, and he can buy a house and land with confidence, and become a real small fortune owner.
Seeing that they were breathing heavily, Su Jingrong continued: "Not only are the red thieves carrying gold and silver, but there are hundreds of thousands of gold and silver in their baggage, and there are countless jewels and treasures. ”
He continued to agitate and said: "Now their main force is going to Linhai to find Chen Zhentai for a battle, and those who remain in Huangyan County are only 300 people, and we have now gathered 3,000 heroes, and tomorrow the 26 heroes in the county will participate in the grand event together, and there are 6,000 heroes!" ”
He was arrogant: "Not to mention that the heroes of Taiping and Wenzhou counties have already received my letter from Su Jingrong, and when the time comes, 40,000 people will raise troops, and it will be easy to break the red thief!" I want to take you to attack Huangyan County now, open the county seat and don't put away the knife, you can be as happy as you want, you can't do it! ”
"!"
"Follow Su Jingrong!" ..., ", why don't you do such a good thing!" ”
The mood of the entire group practice became extremely fanatical, Su Jingrong nodded, and announced the next good news to everyone: "Today we will go to fight Huangyan County, and take advantage of the unprepared red thieves to raid in, if the raid fails today, tomorrow there will be twenty-six heroes in the county, six thousand strong men, and spitting can cover up those red thieves!" ”
All the Tuan Yong were encouraged by Su Jingrong, and they all thought that they had broken through Huangyan County and killed a few red thieves by themselves and made a fortune, and they couldn't wait to grow a few more legs, so they hurried to Huangyan County to make a fortune.
And now Su Jingrong's dispatch of these regiments is barely to the extent that they are like fingers, and a team of regiments is marching forward quickly, and Su Jingrong and his brother Su Jinglan are standing on a small hill, looking at the fanaticism on the faces of these brave men, they also nodded again and again.
Su Jinglan was a little worried, he asked: "The twenty-six road group practice, I don't know how many ways I can come!" ”
"Twenty-six roads!" Su Jingrong has absolute confidence: "Maybe there will be a group practice near the county seat now!" ”
"Brother, so confident?"
Su Jingrong showed a cruel smile: "I am in the letter, whoever refuses to lead the group to come bravely, that is, does not give me Su Jingrong face, I Su Jingrong has no other means, Liu Juehu is known as a desperate household, and I can also slaughter the village and destroy the door." ”
Su Jinglan took a breath of cold air, his brother's methods were indeed a little ruthless, but wouldn't this be too intense? He continued, "Where did all that gold and silver jewelry come from?" ”
"I robbed it!" Su Jingrong was not taboo: "Zhao Xingde's family, if he is willing to offend me, don't blame me for destroying the door." ”
Now that the war is in chaos, it is a good opportunity for personal revenge, Su Jinglan has been frightened by Su Jingrong: "But where did the red thief get so much gold, silver and jewelry, if you open Huangyan County, let everyone find that the red thief doesn't have so much gold, silver and jewelry, then how to deal with the aftermath!" ”
Su Jingrong sneered: "If you can't attack Huangyan County, everything is not to be discussed, if it is opened, if you don't put away the knife and let everyone grab a pain, how can such a big county make them satisfied, and our family can also make tens of thousands of taels!" I'm not from Huangyan......"
This is a very meaningful statement.
Su Jingrong is a native of Linhai.
