Chapter 284: Rescuing the GI - Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang
After hearing Yang Wei's complaint, Yang Xuan looked at everyone with a smile: "Everyone, everyone thinks that this king is a blank check, let's think about it, why during the Zhou Dynasty and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, we were able to expand the territory, only we bullied others, which is like now being occupied by the Mongols and the Tartars Most of China, the Chinese nation is almost on the verge of extinction.
Mainly because we like to engage in infighting, and we all look at our own one-third of an acre of land, rather than like our ancestors like to pioneer.
Look at the Ctessi, they came to us from 100,000 miles away from Ctesi to preach, and what about us?
Although Sun Kewang is a hateful and annoying person, if we compare it with the king of Annan, of course we would like Sun Kewang to rule in Annan. ”
Senate Speaker Wu Yanghu shook his head and said: "Lord Wang, the whole world is not the king's land, if Sun Kewang is allowed to occupy Annan, isn't this a split?" ”
Yang Xuan smiled and said: "How come, this is like what we often say, an unfilial son in the family finally left the country to settle down and spread the branches, you say, isn't this bad?"
Since Sun Kewang ignored the sincerity of this king, he informed Hao Yongzhong that the whole army would march to Nanning."
After hearing that the loyal and righteous army was coming, Sun Kewang successively sent a number of troops and horses out of the city to obstruct it, and after more than ten days of fierce battles, the loyal and righteous army was killed under the city of Nanning in late January.
Seeing the loyal and righteous army killed under the city of Nanning, Sun Kewang actually asked people to pull Emperor Yongli to the city wall, and when he saw Emperor Yongli crying on the city wall, everyone cried, so that Yang Xuan did not dare to open artillery bombardment.
On this day, seeing that Sun Kewang pushed Emperor Yongli to the city wall again, the loyal and righteous army had to stop the shelling, and everyone had nothing to do on the battlefield.
Seeing this, Wu Yanghu reminded: "Lord Wang, all kinds of Tartars are approaching the Huguang area, the Huguang area has just recovered, if you don't return to Huguang, it is likely to cause ..... in the rear." ”
Yang Xuan sighed and said: "Yes, Sun Kewang is so shameless, he pushed out Emperor Yongli, if he attacks, he is afraid of hurting Emperor Yongli, and if he does not attack the army of Jiudun City, it may not be a good strategy."
Let's talk about it, what is a good way to break through Nanning City in one fell swoop and capture Sun Kewang alive. ”
Everyone was stunned and did not dare to express their position. Yang Xuan said angrily: "Everyone, even if you have any good plans, I have never been offended by my words, even if there is a problem with the implementation, it is because I have not considered it thoroughly, and the role of leadership is decision-making."
Ladies and staff, all subordinate officials make suggestions, and the leaders find the best way to do it. ”
Yuan Zongdi admonished: "Lord, Zhang Xianzhong first used the method of digging tunnels to attack the city, and if it was simply by digging tunnels, it would be difficult to work.
Lord, can we dig two layers of tunnels, dig the tunnels under the city wall and light the gunpowder twice in a row, we will definitely be able to blow up the city wall and attack the city. ”
Yang Wei shook his head and said: "Having said that, Sun Kewang is particularly vigilant, if he simply digs the tunnel, it is very likely that Sun Kewang will find out, which is not good."
Is there any way to prevent Sun Kewang from discovering that we are digging tunnels? ”
Hao Yongzhong roared: "Lord Wang, what is there to discuss, if I don't let my old Hao lead his troops to kill, although the casualties are a little larger, how can there be a war without death." ”
The large army is under the city, and it has always been a taboo for soldiers.
Thinking of the many battles in history that fell short because of the indecisiveness of the main general, Yang Xuan felt that he could not wait any longer.
Even if you have the notoriety of killing kings, what's the big deal? Besides, the winner is the king, and the loser is the villain, as long as he wins the battlefield, he can completely blame Sun Kewang at that time.
Thinking of this, Yang Xuan ordered the whole army, Sun Kewang pushed out the Yongli Emperor was fake, and everyone didn't need to ask for instructions from the superiors for the fake Yongli Emperor that was launched, and went directly to the battlefield to fight.
If anyone disturbs the morale of the army with the fake Yongli Emperor, they will be killed.
Hearing this bloody order, everyone was shocked, and Senator Chairman Wu Yanghu grabbed Yang Xuan's hand and said, "Lord Wang, what if, what if?" ”
Yang Xuan smiled and said, "Brother Wu, there is no case on the battlefield, tell the brothers to execute."
You see, everyone is fighting and shrinking their heads, and it is very likely that they will be taken advantage of by the rogues, and when the time comes, they will fight us back, if we are defeated by the rogues, who will rescue whom? ”
Yuan Zongdi, who joined the army, stood up and said with a smile: "Commander, in the Battle of Jingnan, the Ming army also hung up the portrait of Hong Wuye under the city of Jinan, which caused Emperor Yongle to return in vain.
For today's plan, only by breaking the cauldron can we break through the city wall and save the saint. ”
Seeing Yang Xuan like this, Wu Yanghu couldn't say anything, pouted, nodded and left.
Feng Youqing was immediately ordered to lead the 10th town to attack the west gate, Hao Yongzhong led the 14th town to attack the north gate, and Li Laiheng led the 15th town to attack the east gate.
Yang Xuan summoned the generals,
Seeing everyone's worried and frightened looks, Yang Xuan sighed why he was not Liu Bang, and said a piece of the pie, what would happen if he said to Sun Kewang that if he killed and injured Emperor Yongli, he would still thank Sun Kewang?
Seeing that the loyal and righteous army had nothing to do, Sun Kewang was overjoyed, and often said to the left and right: "Everyone, Yang Xuan is timid, so the military spirit will inevitably be slack, we can wait a few more days to kill it, although it may not be able to defeat the loyal army, but at least it can surprise Yang Xuan in a cold sweat." ”
On this day, he was lazily lying in the prefect's yamen, and suddenly heard gunfire outside, and Bai Wenxuanxing, who was defending the city, hurriedly ran to say that the loyal and righteous army was attacking the city on three sides.
Sun Kewang disagreed, and said with a smile: "You are a pig's head, isn't that puppet here?"
Pull it out to resist for a while, where the fight is the most enthusiastic, pull it out, I don't believe that Yang Xuan dares to betray the notoriety of killing the king. ”
But in less than half an hour, Bai Wenxuan came running again and shouted: "Lord, it doesn't work, just pushed up, the brothers desperately waved their flags and shouted, but the other party just didn't listen, the muskets in the distance kept shooting forward, and the smoke was swirling, and the other party didn't pay attention to it at all, and it couldn't be seen clearly." ”
Sun Kewang didn't believe it, he thought that the other party would stop when he brought out Emperor Yongli, but who expected that the other party would still attack the city wall without reluctance.
When he came to the city, Sun Kewang found that the other party had actually pushed the siege towers to the city wall, and threw the earth-shaking thunder from afar.
The loyal and righteous army attacked desperately regardless of their own safety, and some even attacked the city wall at one time, and Emperor Yongli repeatedly said forgiveness, took Sun Kewang's hand, and claimed that Yang Xuan was a traitor, and claimed that Sun Kewang was the biggest loyal minister.
Seeing that the Loyal and Righteous Army was like this, Sun Kewang was so angry that his nose was crooked, and the Governor Wang Ziqi next to him came up and said: "Lord Wang, have you seen it, after we pushed out this puppet, although Yang Xuan's words were false, although the Loyal and Righteous Army opened fire, the two sides were fighting a little away from this puppet.
In this way, although Yang Xuan said that Emperor Yongli was fake, the soldiers under his command were still terrified, and they still couldn't let go. ”
Sun Kewang shook his head and said: "It seems that this shield is still effective, now the loyal army is attacking the city like a mad dog, and now it is in an emergency on three sides, if you can have a few more puppets, you can suppress the other party." ”
Wang Ziqi sighed and said: "Lord Wang, the combat strength of the loyal and righteous army is too strong, why don't we pull out Wu Zhenyu and these officials to try?"
Sun Kewang nodded in agreement, and immediately asked all the officials to be pulled out and blocked at the front to block the advance of the loyal army.
Over the past year, the loyal army and the imperial court have been in constant disputes, and everyone said that the court had a traitorous minister to frame the prince, and now seeing that the rogue has launched so many officials, everyone ignores it and shoots at the front, but the rogue is restrained.
In particular, Hao Yongzhongzhen and Li Laihengzhen were even more squeezed out by the DPRK and Chinese bureaucrats, and now they see that they hate officials being pushed to the front, and some even shoot coldly, aiming at the officials who have been pushed out and firing directly.
Seeing that the loyal and righteous army did not care about the life and death of the officials, in the end, Sun Kewang was not interested, and only held Emperor Yongli as a shield all day long.
On the third day of such a battle, Sun Kewang felt more and more wrong, although the loyal and righteous army made a lot of noise, it still did not attack the city wall, could it be that there was any conspiracy in this?
Speaking of the conspiracy, Sun Kewang immediately passed the main officials, and there is no such thing as betraying himself?
That military department secretary Ma Jixiang, the celebrant eunuch Pang Tianshou even curry favor with themselves, is there any problem here?
Sun Kewang thought about it, and immediately asked people to invite Ma Jixiang over, and when he heard Sun Kewang's question, Ma Jixiang also shook his head again and again, how is this possible?
Wu Zhenyu, the first assistant of the cabinet, was shot in the chest and stomach today, and was lying on the bed shouting, that Li Yueru was shot and killed indiscriminately yesterday.
Yang Xuan harbored evil intentions, obviously taking the opportunity of attacking the city to eradicate his political enemies, since this is the case, then who is willing to cooperate with Yang Xuan?
Due to the continuous battle in the past few days, Sun Kewang felt too tired, and discussed with Ma Jixiang, Pang Tianshou and others until midnight, before the two of them left and fell asleep in a daze.
I don't know how long it took, when he suddenly heard two dull explosions, Sun Kewang touched his sleepy eyes and looked out the window disappreciatively.
Suddenly, there were two explosions under the east and west city walls, and by the noise, Sun Kewang was shocked, turned over and got up from the bed, and just finished dressing, a general hurried over and said: "Lord, the big thing is not good, the loyal army blew up the city wall, and now it is coming like a tide." ”
Sun Kewang was shocked, and while reorganizing his troops and horses to meet the enemy, he shouted again and again: "Quick, quick, help me find the puppet, with the puppet we will be able to save our lives." ”
As soon as he walked to the street, Sun Kewang saw that the street was full of people, and the organized rogues were a terrifying force, a rare strong army in the world, but after hearing that the loyal and righteous army had broken through the city, the people were panicked, and everyone shouted and ran around the street.
Sun Kewang scolded everyone repeatedly, and when he saw those fleeing in all directions, he even brandished a big knife and slashed over, everyone saw Sun Kewang like this, and they were shocked by Sun Kewang's former prestige, and they looked at Sun Kewang in fear and listened to Sun Kewang's command.
But at this time, the general who came to report came to report, saying that the leader who was in charge of Emperor Yongli said that when the Tartars entered the city, Ma Jixiang, the secretary of the military department, and Pang Tianshou, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, led the Portuguese mercenaries to hold Sun Kewangling's arrows, saying that they would put Emperor Yongli out of the cannon hole.
Sun Kewang screamed badly, his feelings were deceived by Ma Jixiang and Da Da Shou, the two of them were Yang Xuan's spies, and they were false and wronged with themselves, and they took advantage of their unpreparedness to come out of Emperor Yongli.
Naturally, the trump card in his hand has been lost, and there is no benefit in staying, Sun Kewang gritted his teeth and led the soldiers and horses to flee to the south of the city.
Just a few miles out of the city gate, he suddenly heard the sound of the urn in front of him and shouted: "Sun Kewang will quickly dismount and die." ”
Sun Kewang looked fixedly, and the general in front was Ma Bao, leading more than 1,000 people to line up in front.
Sun Kewang was frightened, hurriedly turned around and fled, Ma Bao led his troops to chase, Sun Kewang was cornered and finally was forced to jump off a cliff and commit suicide.
After Sun Kewang committed suicide, Sun Kewang's deputy Wang Ziqi was shot and killed, and Bai Wenxuan and Feng Shuangli were both defeated and captured.
At the same time, the former deputy envoy of Yunnan, Yang Weizhi, who was sub-patrolling Jincang Road, was captured by Sun Kewang, although he tried his best, but he was not reused by Sun Kewang, and after seeing the Loyal and Righteous Army enter, he gathered all the generals to defect to the Loyal and Righteous Army.
At the end of the first month of the 5th year of Yongli, the last rebel army of the Ming Dynasty, which had dominated the world for more than 20 years at the end of the Ming Dynasty, was wiped out in this way.
Since then, the leader of the Liukou, Sun Kewang, failed to kidnap Emperor Yongli, and the loyal army finally completed the task of rescuing the soldier, Emperor Yongli Zhu Youlang.
