Chapter 132: Fate
"Put!"
At the same time that Yang Qing threw out Li Guoying, an angry roar came from the opposite city wall.
He immediately looked up.
On the walls of the Urn City, a general is wielding a knife.
And then......
And then the wood has then.
The soldiers standing on the city wall holding bird guns looked at each other, and then looked at Yang Qing, who had barely entered the firing range on the north bank of the moat, but none of them pulled the trigger, and the poor general kept swinging his knife like a fool, looking at them with a stunned face, and his collapsed expression was like a warm nephrite full of confidence and ready to break in, but he suddenly found that he was still a eunuch.
"Fire!"
He roared with a tremor.
The soldiers remained indifferent.
"Hurry up!"
He cried out weakly.
Then the gunshot rang out at last, and he watched the flames shoot out on the other side, trembling at the impact of the bullets, and finally fell to the ground under the impact of a bullet in the middle of the door.
"Open the door!"
Yang Qing stood at the head of the bridge and shouted majestically.
"Sir, wait a minute!"
An officer groveled.
Soon, the soldiers who were blocking the city gate and struggling to close the gate quickly retreated like a deflated ball and made way to both sides, and the routs crowded there suddenly rushed open the half-closed city gate and poured into Wuchang City, behind them Yang Qing led those soldiers who had defected and rushed in immediately. And the soldiers who were also guarding here also quickly rushed down from the city wall, rushing to the front to open the way for Zhongyongbo, and when they arrived at the Gongyuan, Huang Degong's headquarters behind them had already begun to enter Wuchang. The surging torrent quickly dispersed and poured into the streets and alleys, and thus began to stir in the city of Wuchang, and when the defenders of Hanyangmen also defected and opened the city gates, even Zhang Mingzhenbu on the Yangtze River landed at the Hanyangmen pier and began to rush directly into the city.
Wuchang was officially breached.
Of course, the battle is not over yet.
Because Yang Qing and they only broke through the outer city of Wuchang, there is also an inner city inside, that is, the Chu Wangfu in the south of Snake Mountain, this palace accounts for almost one-third of Wuchang City, Snake Mountain is the north wall of the palace city, Zuo Liangyu after directing and acting in the mutiny against the will, he simply moved to the Chu Wangfu, which was easier to defend, and stationed his most trusted subordinates there.
Of course, this is just a small thing.
The attack on the Chu Palace, Yang Qing didn't need to do it at all, and the soldiers who defected were solved, in fact, Yang Qing didn't think that Zuo Liangyu's so-called cronies would really be martyred for the Zuo family.
"He Tengjiao?"
In the yamen of the political envoy, Yang Qing looked at the rescued governor of Huguang and smiled.
The latter and several officials who were unwilling to rebel were placed under house arrest, including Yang He, who fled from the north and south and was appointed by Chongzhen as a political envoy because of his loyalty, and was originally killed by local officials when he and his brother Yang Hong recruited troops in Xiangxi to resist the Qing Dynasty. He is the province of Huguang, it should be considered that the position of the officials in Huguang is quite high at this time, after Chongzhen's southern crossing, because the vast majority of officials are from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the situation of the province as officials has been difficult to avoid, not to mention that the cabinet of those ministers of Jiangsu and Zhejiang also welcome this change of the province as officials, so this system basically exists in name only.
Originally, the same was true in history.
For example, Zhang Guowei served as the governor of Zhejiang in the Hongguang Dynasty.
Among the officials at all levels in Huguang, the highest position was Yuan Jixian, the governor of Huguang Jiangxi Military Affairs, but he was placed under house arrest by Zuo Liangyu in the palace of the king of Chu.
There were three governors left.
Huguang, Yunyang, Biyuan, the latter is equivalent to Hunan, Yunyang has been assigned to Li Zicheng, so the governor of Yunyang was changed to the governor of Chengtian, in fact, he is responsible for Xiangyang and the area of Suizao, but these are temporary dispatch positions, and the real Huguang is similar to the high-ranking official is the political envoy.
"How come you don't have the joy of salvation!"
Yang Qing said.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhongyong!"
Yang Yi smiled dryly.
In other words, for them, it's really hard to say whether they want Zuo Liangyu to lose or win, although they didn't cooperate with him out of discipline, but they also know that Zuo Liangyu is happy when he wins, whether it is Yang He from Huguang Province or He Tengjiao from Guizhou, they all understand in their hearts that this war was actually launched by their hometown gentry, Zuo Liangyu was just pushed out as a gunman, if Zuo Liangyu wins, then they can continue to pay taxes as civil officials and hometown gentry.
But now......
He Tengjiao and Yang He glanced at each other, and then sighed at the same time.
Yang Qing looked at them with a smile.
"Sir, catch the left!"
At this moment, Tian Xiong came in and said with a smile on his face.
It is said that their speed is also very fast, and according to this speed, the attack on the Chu Wangfu will definitely not be fought.
"Then don't you bring it quickly!"
Yang Qing said.
"That, sir, I'm afraid that he will have to breathe before he reaches here, Jing Nanbo means that you had better go over in person."
Tian Xiong said cautiously.
"Huh?!"
……
Zuo Liangyu was dying.
"Why do you think you're doing this?"
In a large hall of the Chu Palace, Yang Qing looked at Zuo Liangyu in front of him, who was obviously about to reach the end of his life.
The latter was lying on the floor.
However, Yang Qing did not see Zuo Mengeng, it is said that after the latter brought his father back with a group of the most loyal house slaves, he threw it here and called a few maids to wait, and he ran to the inner house to collect a batch of gold, silver and jewelry and fled in a hurry, and it cannot be said that Zuo Mengeng is not filial, it is estimated that he also understands that he does not need to run out of Wuchang City to escape with his father, and his father will have to be tossed and choked. Saying that this result surprised Yang Qing very much, he didn't expect that Zuo Liangyu would still have such a result in the end, which can be regarded as fate, this is not a bad thing, at least for Chongzhen, it is still a little embarrassing to punish Zuo Liangyu canonically, after all, this person is domineering, but he still maintains his own discipline to the maximum.
His own illness and death was the best outcome.
"If I don't do this, I will have to enter your Beiya sooner or later!"
Zuo Liangyu said weakly.
"Uncle Zhong Yong heard that he is still a miracle doctor!"
He looked at Yang Qing's hand to check his pulse and said.
"At least I can't cure the disease, we Daming will not have anyone else to cure, in other words, your body just doesn't have this thing, I'm afraid it will last for another year and a half at most, you are completely terminally ill, it is estimated that you yourself know your body very well, so why do you want to die and bear the name of rebellion?"
Yang Qing said.
This old guy was actually seriously ill for a long time.
"The old man has no relatives, only one son, if he doesn't make a last fight, can the emperor still tolerate him after the old man's death? I'm afraid the emperor has wanted to kill my father and son for a long time, but I'm afraid that I will lose the reputation of Zhao Gou, and I'm afraid that the emperor will be happy if the old man can be like this! Now that he has become a king and lost a king, the old man has long been downplayed by life and death after many years of fighting, and he has accepted his fate at this moment. But don't think that you will have any better results than the old man, which emperor has allowed the feudal town since ancient times? Liu Zeqing is finished, Liu Liangzuo is finished, Gao Jie is finished, now the old man is finished, the next one is you Huang Chuangzi, whether you are loyal or not, it is the same, then Yue Fei is loyal enough, isn't there also a storm pavilion?
When the feudal towns outside are cleaned up, it will be time for you to be loyal and brave.
Loyal and brave Uncle is invincible, the army is called the god of war, and even says that you are a god and descends to earth, you are like this, so where is the emperor? Those who cover the world are not rewarded, and those who are brave and shake the master are in danger, which one do you think you meet now? Not to mention that Uncle Zhong Yong is said to have a good relationship with Li Zicheng.
Who is Li Zicheng?
Your Majesty's life and death are also enemies!
Uncle Zhongyong is a minister, but he has an unclear relationship with him, do you think that you will not leave a problem in the emperor's heart if you are reused by the emperor? Now that the emperor is using you, of course you can endure this, but what use do you have when everything is swept away? When you are useless, your things that make the emperor unhappy will naturally come out one by one, Uncle Zhongyong, the old man is also older, and it can be regarded as a heartfelt remark before his death. ”
Zuo Liangyu said.
Anyway, he didn't know that Yang Qing had even beaten Chongzhen!
"Uncle Zhongyong, this thief sows discord, just kill him!"
Huang Degong said.
Obviously, he is also a little weak-hearted, after all, carefully calculating the original southern towns after Zuo Liangyu is finished, he is really left alone, Chongzhen cannot tolerate the existence of these military leaders, it is inevitable, any emperor only allows this abnormal situation to exist in troubled times, as long as order is restored, the first thing is to collect the military power of the military leaders, and the establishment of the Beijing camp represents Chongzhen's goal, and whether he is loyal in his heart or not, he is also one of these military leaders after all.
Of course, this kind of thinking can only be an idea, let alone saying it, even listening to what others say!
Gotta shut up this guy quickly.
He was about to draw his sword immediately.
Yang Qing raised his hand to stop him.
"You say so much nonsense, it's nothing more than wanting us to let go of your son, and then keep your son to continue to play with Kou, saying that we are nothing, we have no selfish grudges with you, in the final analysis, it is to do our duty for the emperor, your son can be caught, and it is not a big deal if he can't be caught, but I'm afraid that your son will do stupid things by himself! Your subordinates outside are waiting for his head to ask the emperor for credit! ”
He said to Zuo Liangyu with a smile.
Zuo Liangyu's face changed, and he suddenly coughed violently, and soon inhaled desperately because of the difficulty of whistling, but after just taking two mouthfuls, a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out, and his face instantly turned yellow like paper, he raised his hand weakly, and he didn't know whether to point at Yang Qing or grab him to find a life-saving straw, so he trembled weakly, desperately opened his mouth and inhaled desperately, and blood kept pouring out of his mouth.
Soon the raised hand fell heavily to the ground.
Then he tilted his head and breathed.
"With this psychological quality, you still play psychological warfare with me!"
Yang Qing said disdainfully.
