Chapter 108: The Gentry Hang the Street Lamps (Third Shift)

"You actually have Shang Fang's sword?"

Huang Degong stood next to Liu Liangzuo's dead body and looked at the sword in Yang Qing's hand in amazement.

This is indeed Shang Fang's sword.

In order to ensure that those civil and military generals who don't know the inside story at all will not be broken out of the script, Yang Qing, as the chief director of this drama, must personally supervise it......

Anyway, only three people know about this.

Could it be that Chongzhen or Lao Wang came to the scene to command?

But Yang Qing, as a Jinyi guard, definitely does not have the right to command the army, nor does he have the right to supervise officials and generals at all levels, that is only available to the superintendent of the army, even the eunuchs who supervise the army actually have to pass the emperor to have the right to dispose of the generals in the army, and only the superintendent of the civil officials has the right, but if you want to behead the generals, you must have the sword of Shang Fang.

In that case, of course, you have to give him Shang Fang's sword.

"The crime is only Liu Liangzuo, you are all obeying orders, there is no need to be suspicious, all departments temporarily listen to Jing Nanbo's orders, and prepare for a counterattack on the capital, and must not continue to harass the place in the south, and the required food and salary are raised by Benjue, and then there are those who escape, Liu Liangzuo and Xu Dingguo are their ends. All generations are northerners, there is no livelihood in the south, but Shouchun has the benefit of Shaobei, it has been a fertile land since ancient times, and the tuntian is enough for self-sufficiency in the future, and the Liao people are still safe in Xinyang, is Xinyang comparable to Shouchun? ”

Yang Qing carried Shang Fang's sword and said to those Liu Liangzuo generals who were bowing in front of him.

"The last general obeys!"

These people are honest in their orders.

Liu Liangzuo's head is still on the side, and they can't help but be dishonest, take the head of the general among the ten thousand troops, who dares to provoke this kind of killing god?

"What about my own people?"

Huang Degong was stunned.

He was actually pulled by Yang Qing to help, but he didn't expect to help himself.

"I'll command your people for you, are you still afraid that I will rob your soldiers?"

Yang Qing said angrily.

"Uncle Zhongyong laughed, they are all soldiers and horses of the imperial court, what yours and mine!"

Huang Degong said happily.

Of course, it is impossible for Yang Qing to rob his soldiers and horses, and Lord Yang is alive and well in Nanjing, how can he come to mix with these rough billets, and he temporarily takes over Liu Liangzuo's department, and basically this army will be under his command in the future. In fact, except for him, no one can suppress these messy miscellaneous cards, this kind of soldier ruffian has to be a veteran ruffian like him to deter it, which means that he has almost twice as many troops as he used to be, of course this kind of good thing should be happy, although Huang Degong really didn't want to be Zuo Liangyu, but as a general, who doesn't like to have more soldiers and horses under his subordinates?

"I'll leave it to you!"

Yang Qing immediately got on the horse and said.

He went to take over Huang Degong's department, just delaying some time for them to slow down and avoid affecting the whole plan.

After all, Gao Jie hadn't run away at this time......

Well, that's a long time coming.

Yang Qing left his five hundred cavalry, and then took four auxiliary horses all the way to transfer, galloped for four hours and arrived at Dingyuan, where he did not meet Huang Degong's subordinates who went north from Chuzhou to reinforce Linhuai Pass, it was obvious that the latter's speed was a little slow, but he did not expect to meet Ma Shiying, who had been defeated from Linhuai Pass.

"Defection?"

Yang Qing said in astonishment.

"Uncle Zhongyong, you should say mutiny!"

Ma Shiying corrected his statement with a sad face.

He and Lu Jiude failed to stop Liu Liangzuo's escape without a fight, so they had to flee to Linhuai Pass in a hurry with thousands of people, and Mu Wenshou, the general of Linhuai, was ready to hold on, and Yuan Zongdi either went south to Hefei or went east to Linhuai to copy Gao Jie's back road, as long as they could hold Linhuai Pass and block Yuan Zongdi, then the whole battle situation would not collapse, but what they didn't expect was that before Yuan Zong's first army came to Linhuai Pass, the defenders would defect.

It is said that Yang Qing's script is perfect, but he overestimated the discipline of the Ming army generals, and also overestimated the loyalty of the Ming soldiers to Chongzhen.

It is clear that they prefer to open the door to the king.

In fact, there is an example of nearly 10,000 people under Liu Liangzuo's department surrendering to Yuan Zongdi before, Yang Qing should think of the local poor guards in Linhuai Pass, and they will not have much interest in defending the Ming Dynasty, especially in the face of the Huai River front, and they know the news from the north more clearly, Li Zicheng beat the local tyrants and copied the gentry's house, and then gave the poor people free food, and the good news that the military households of the old guard directly canceled their military registration and gave official land to become self-cultivated farmers had already been transmitted to Huainan through those merchants......

Compared to these, the emperor is a fart!

"What a sad story!"

Yang Qing said with emotion.

At this moment, he had a feeling as if he had traveled through three hundred years and become a different group of people, standing in this place that was equally sad for them......

It's a sad story.

Fortunately, this is not out of his script.

Otherwise, he would have to figure out how to make Gao Jie abandon the city and flee, after all, if Gao Jie didn't run away, Gao Yigong wouldn't be able to go south, and the former's performance also exceeded Yang Qing's script, and he actually stuck to Xuyi, which was too ruined, but although he showed his loyalty to Chongzhen, it made everyone very troublesome, and Yang Qing was still worried about how to make this scene go on according to his script!

Now you don't have to go through the hassle!

As soon as this Linhuai Pass opened, Gao Jie definitely had to run, if he didn't run away, he would become trapped in a lonely city, although Gao Jie didn't run away without a fight, this was already his temperance beyond Yang Qing's expectations, but he definitely couldn't surprise Yang Qing to the point of being unbelievable, if he could still defend Xuyi under the encirclement of Gao Yigong and Yuan Zongdi, then he would have a name for eternity, anyway, Gao Jie's discipline would not be exaggerated to such an extent.

Since Linhuai Pass has been lost, Yang Qing has no interest in going again, he and Ma Shiying and Lu Jiude, plus Mu Wenshou with 5,000 remnants of the defeated army will be temporarily repaired in Dingyuan, and soon meet with Huang Degong's subordinates Ma Degong and Tian Xionger. These two guys, who were originally notorious in history, obviously didn't have the courage to fight without Huang Degong's personal supervision, and they actually walked for three whole days from Chuzhou to Dingyuan, but fortunately, Yang Qing needed such a rhythm at present.

Then they were faced with two more choices.

The first was to counterattack Linhuai Pass to contain Yuan Zongdi, and the second was to go straight to Xuyi to reinforce Gao Jie......

Well, they pick the third one.

Before they could drink wine and listen to the music in Dingyuan, and comfortably decide whether to choose one or two, Gao Jie gave them a third choice, saying that Gao Jie's discipline did not exceed Yang Qing's expectations after all, and after learning that Yuan Zongdi had broken through Linhuai Pass, he did not hesitate to abandon Xuyi and escape. In this way, Yang Qing's only choice was to retreat to Chuzhou to avoid Gao Yigong's army from drinking the Yangtze River, and although Huang Degong quickly solved the obedience problem of Liu Liangzuo's subordinates, and led them heroically north to prepare for a counterattack on Fengyang, but before he could reach Fengyang, he received a holy decree from Chongzhen that was obviously very bald-headed.

Rush back to Chuzhou immediately.

Fengyang is no longer important, don't let the army of Gao Yigong drink the Yangtze River is the most important.

Poor Huang Degong had no choice but to turn around and return to Chuzhou with a resentful face.

At this time, Nanjing and Yangzhou were already in the wind.

In the final analysis, Xuyi to Nanjing is only 200 miles away, and there is almost no danger, it is completely a thoroughfare, once this point is broken, Li Zicheng's cavalry will drink the Yangtze River in two days at most, and stand on Guabu Mountain like Tuoba Tao back then. This terrible news spread like a plague in Jiangbei, and the gentry in the Liuheyi Zheng area of Chuzhou flocked to the ferry boats on the banks of the Yangtze River in a panic, fleeing from their homes in a hurry, and the gentry on the outskirts of Yangzhou also left everything they had and flocked to Yangzhou City. The salt merchants in Yangzhou boarded the ship and left the city as soon as possible, fleeing to Nanjing, which was surely safer, and those who were smarter simply entered the south mouth of the canal and continued southward, causing a black cloud on both sides of the Yangtze River to weigh down the city.

Of course, they still have a chance to escape, and the gentry of Tianchang don't even have a chance to escape.

Gao Jie did not retreat to Tianchang.

He didn't have a chance.

Gao Yigong's subordinates have nearly 10,000 cavalry.

And these guys are full of enthusiasm for catching this guy who cuckolded Li Zicheng, saying that it is definitely a surprise to dedicate him to Li Zicheng, Gao Jie knows very well that he is mainly infantry, and if he escapes to the south, he will have to let Gao Yigong's cavalry drown if he can't go to the sky, so he is very smart and goes straight to Hengyang.

That is, the modern Golden Lake.

This place protrudes into the water network of Hongze Lake, and the terrain is difficult to resist the infantry against cavalry, and it can run across the frozen straight river to the safer Baoying at any time.

As for the long days......

"Hang them all, hang them all!"

Gao Yigong said happily in the Great Wall of Heaven.

The soldiers of the Shun army beside him, who were like wolves and tigers, dragged the landlords and old fortunes who had no time to escape from the mansions happily and happily, and even those who carried their money and women, the whole Great Wall of Heaven was completely carnivaled, and the soldiers of the Shun army who looted everywhere and those poor people who took advantage of the fire to loot made thick smoke everywhere in this elegant city, and all kinds of screams, wails and cries filled all the streets and alleys. And after getting the order of the Governor of the Five Armies of the Ming Dynasty in Beijing, the Governor of the Central Army of the Left-behind Division, and then those landlords and old wealth were lassoed by the soldiers with ropes, and then hung up and hung on all the positions suitable for them on both sides of the street, what branches, eaves and the like were all hung, like a string of wind chimes hanging all over the streets to decorate this ancient city.

It's just that the bell is a dying scream.

"Thieves, you thieves!"

The prefectural commander let out a mournful roar in the drag of the soldiers of the Shun army.

"Hang him at the gates!"

Gao Yigong pointed at him with a horsewhip and said.

The happy soldiers immediately dragged the prefectural magistrate to the distant city gate, and the howl of the prefectural magistrate and the gentry hanging on both sides formed a picture of the end of the city in the thick smoke.

"To be a man is to be trustworthy!"

Gao Yigong looked at this scene and said with satisfaction.

"If you say kill them all, you must kill them all!"

Then he said.

(There will be a change in the afternoon)
