Chapter 63 Collect Jiangsu and Zhejiang
Zheng Zunqian led more than 100 people to the city of Shaoxing, and the soldiers guarding the gate saw the menacing Zheng Zunqian, and thought he was here to defend the city.
After the Jiang general in front of the city gate recognized him, he bent down and saluted, and said respectfully: "Yi Xingbo." ”
Zheng Zunqian waved his hand and scolded: "Get out of the way, don't get in the way!" ”
Jiang Jiang felt that something was wrong, but he quickly made a choice and stood behind Zheng Zunqian with his soldiers and horses.
Zheng Zunqian personally came to the city gate, took down the long wood lying on the door, and several of his subordinates stepped forward to open the city gate.
Yan Yingyuan saw that the city gate was open, although he didn't know what to do, but Shaoxing was not Suzhou and Hangzhou, there was no Weng City, and he was not afraid of ambushes.
He waved his command, and the army rushed like a city, unstoppable. Zheng Zunqian held back a hatred in his heart, he gathered the righteous army to oppose the Qing Dynasty, supported King Lu, and was completely excluded in the end. The brothers in life and death under his command could not even receive food and wages, and dragged their families and hungry to follow him. All this was caused by traitorous ministers such as Zhang Guowei, Zhang Guojun, Xie Sanbin and the mediocre King Lu. He took advantage of the chaos and led his subordinates straight to the mansion of these traitorous ministers, and relied on his familiar car to wipe them out.
Sun Jiaji and the soldiers and horses of the Qiantang battalion looked for Qian Sule's traces as soon as they entered the city. At this time, a soldier pushed Fang Guoan, whose hands were tied behind his back, and came to Yan Yingyuan and Sun Jiaji.
The enemy was very red when he saw him, and it was said that this person was red-mouthed and white-toothed, and he was determined that he and Qian Sule had rebelled. And he cut off his own food and grass for several months. "Old thief, where is Lord Qian hidden by you?"
Fang Guoan's face was as pale as earth, he didn't expect that he couldn't help fighting so much, and his former dominance had long since disappeared. He was originally a small general, and when the four towns of Jiangbei were dominant, he didn't even have the qualifications to wave the flag and shout beside him. Later, he was lucky enough to catch up with the vigorous rebels in Shaoxing and Ningbo, and he turned into a powerful minister with the remnants of the army in his hand.
"I've been locked up in a prison by Your Majesty."
Yan Yingyuan's small soldiers, who happened to be part of the repair of the city wall that day, saw Hou Xuanyan scolding the envoy of King Lu. He stepped forward and shouted, "Fart! There cannot be two kings in a country. There are no two monarchs in the country, and you still dare to call Lu Shun Your Majesty, which shows that the thief's heart is not dead. ”
When Fang Guoan was majestic, how could he have thought that he would be scolded angrily by a nobody today. He was already frightened at the moment, and he only knew that he was submissive, begging for mercy and begging for his life.
When Yan Yingyuan came, he listened to Hou Xuanyan's instructions, and he had already made up his mind in his heart, and with a wave of his hand, someone stepped forward and escorted Fang Guo'an.
Sun Jiaji's face was anxious, and he said: "General Yan, Lord Qian is locked in a prison by them, and his life is in danger, please allow the lower officials to go to the rescue." ”
Yan Yingyuan naturally agreed to come down and let Sun Jiaji bring people there by himself, while he himself had more important things to do.
In the city of Shaoxing, there is also a big fish that has been appointed as a prisoner.
Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu in the palace, trembled with his concubine in his arms, and the shouts and killings in the city seemed to be in his ears.
The palace maids have long been swept away by the belongings in the palace and fled in all directions. The guards did not receive his favor, as the emperor of a small regime, no one swore to protect him, which shows that Zhu Yihai is indeed not very good.
Yan Yingyuan led his troops to kill the palace, grabbed a little eunuch who was fleeing for his life, and pulled him in the air by the collar: "Where is King Lu?" ”
The little eunuch was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and his fingers trembled and pointed to the east. Yan Yingyuan frowned and said, "You lead the way." ”
The little eunuch crawled and took them to King Lu's bedroom. Yan Yingyuan's subordinates kicked open the door, shone it with torches, and shouted, "My lord, it seems to be him." ”
"Tie up, send someone to Fuzhou overnight."
......
In Shaoxing City, the lights are bright, this is a contest within the Ming Dynasty, and there is a lot less blood in comparison.
Yan Yingyuan's soldiers and horses strictly defended the gates of Shaoxing, and it was absolutely impossible to get out of the city tonight.
The rest is to follow the map and investigate strictly. Especially the first few evils who advocated disrespect for the will and refused to serve Longwu as orthodoxy.
It's just that Yan Yingyuan later found that his hard work was in vain. Nine out of ten of the people on his list were tied up by Zheng Zunqian.
The army rested in Shaoxing for a day, and the next morning, escorted all the officials of Shaoxing to Suzhou.
Hou Xuanyan recovered from a serious illness, and finally walked out of the Hou Mansion and waited for them in the governor's office.
Shaoxing's officials, large and small, except for Sun Jiaji, Qian Sule, Zheng Zunqian and others, who had made meritorious contributions, were all escorted to the government office.
Hou Xuanyan frowned, looked at the noisy yamen, and said: "Anyone below the third grade will be innocent and released on the spot." If you want to continue to be an official, stay in the register in Suzhou, and let Xia Yunyi report to me after the school examination. If you don't want to be an official, you can go back to your hometown now. ”
At this time, there are more than half of the people.
Hou Xuanyan slapped the table and asked viciously: "Bring Fang Guoan, Wang Zhiren, Zhang Guowei, Zhang Guojun, Xiong Rulin, these five to me." ”
The officials pressed the five named men with water and fire sticks, came to the public court, and forced them to kneel on the ground.
Several people looked up and were taken aback by Hou Xuanyan's youth, this person was already the actual owner of Jiangsu, Zhejiang Province, and he looked so tender.
Hou Xuanyan glanced around their faces, one of them looked like a person, and his anger didn't come to one place.
It was this group of short-sighted villains, for the sake of a little fame and petty power, that Nanming was torn apart, and Qinggou picked up the cheap.
Zhang Guojun's sister is the main room of King Lu, and he played Hou Xuan's young age, and said with a sneer: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty had a decree at the beginning, and after we returned to the imperial court, we retained our original official positions. Now several of us have unanimously decided to return to the Longwu court and jointly resist the Qing Dynasty. ”
Hou Xuanyan laughed angrily, stared at him carefully for a while, and saw that he was uncomfortable.
"You're not sick, are you?"
Zhang Guojun didn't understand what he meant, and said blankly: "Thank you for the care of the Governor, the lower official has always been healthy." ”
Hou Xuanyan stood up, walked in front of him, and said with a smile: "You are in good health, but it is really a national misfortune. Is your face made of iron or copper? ”
After speaking, he flew up and kicked Zhang Guojun in the face, kicking out a few of his teeth.
"You can't claim to be a subordinate official, you are a scholar, older than Lao Tzuguan, and still retain your original position? As for you dog thieves, you have brought disaster to the country and the people, persecuted the loyal and good, and disregarded the safety of the country for your own selfishness. Pull me down and hang me at the head of the city. They were full of people's fat and ointment, and they all dried it and gave it back to the land. ”
