Chapter 359: Monarchs and Ministers Reunite
The fireworks rose into the sky, and they could be seen within a radius of ten miles, and after a while, several more fireworks rose into the sky, different from the first one, and the next few were all distress signals sent by the Qing soldiers of the Purple Light Temple.
The main force of the Qing army located in Guangguang County naturally also discovered this change, Zhang Cunren was woken up by shaking left and right in his sleep, and was about to be angry, but left and right hurriedly said: "My lord, several fireworks have risen in the direction of Ziguangguan for help, I'm afraid something will change." ”
Zhang Cunren was shocked when he heard this, he searched the mountains and forests in northern Fujian, and wasted a lot of strength to catch Emperor Longwu, how could he allow anything to go wrong.
At this time, he was worried in his heart, while putting on his official uniform, and on the other hand, he asked the commander Durd to come, and after a while, the two met, and Zhang Cunren immediately said urgently: "Tonight, the Ziguangguan burst into fireworks, it must have been besieged by the thief army, and asked Zhang Jing to immediately lead one thousand eight banners to reinforcements, and the thief army must not be allowed to take away Emperor Longwu." If the thieves are so powerful that it is really difficult to resist, then they will immediately kill Longwu and only send their heads to Fuzhou to report their merits. ”
Durde hurriedly led a thousand men and horses to set off, halfway to the road, in the woods on both sides, but suddenly there was a trumpet, and hundreds of people and horses were suddenly killed on the left and right, but it was Yuan Zongdi who blocked the way of the Qing soldiers, and the two sides suddenly fought in the dark night.
At this time, it was getting brighter, and the sky in the east was a little white, Zhang Cunren was a little settled in his heart after sending Durde, after all, it was his personal guard who was watching, and his combat power was extraordinary, plus one thousand and eight banners, there was basically no opponent in northern Fujian, but not long after Durde set off, a Qing army general reported in a panic: "My lord, something is wrong, a large number of Ming troops suddenly appeared in the direction of Shirt Pass, and they are killing in the direction of gloss~"
"How is that possible?" Zhang Cunren said in disbelief: "How can there be a Ming army in the direction of Yiguan?" ”
"My lord, it's the news from the patrol post, the Ming army is only seven or eight miles away from the gloss, and it will be killed in half an hour!"
Zhang Cunren's heart, which had just settled down, was suddenly shocked, he didn't understand why there were Ming troops in the direction of Yiguan, but the sentry rider would definitely not lie.
"How many men and horses are there in the Ming army?" Zhang Cunren asked calmly.
"It's not dawn yet, and the patrol can't see clearly, but the Ming army stretches on both sides of the Nord Stream, and there must be tens of thousands of people!"
The distance between the shirt pass and the luster is more than forty miles, and now the Ming army has walked to a place seven or eight miles away from the county seat, that is to say, the Ming army began to march about three watch days.
Although the moonlight in the sky is very bright, tens of thousands of horses can travel long distances at night, which also shows that this army is not simple, it must be very elite, and the glossy town naturally cannot hold on, Zhang Cunren quickly made a judgment.
Zhang Cunren, the old thief, after the Qing Dynasty, was incorporated into the blue flag, and made great contributions to the Qing court, his mind was still very flexible, and he was keenly aware of the danger, he felt that from the purple light view to the fireworks for help, to tens of thousands of Ming soldiers killed, it must have been carefully planned, and he is now staying in the gloss, obviously not being able to defeat the prepared Ming army.
Zhang Cunren immediately made a decision: "Order the army, take the cart, and quickly retreat south." ”
In the face of his own life, Zhang Cunren made a decisive choice, even Emperor Longwu in the Purple Light Temple didn't care, after all, even if he lost the credit of catching Longwu, he still had hundreds of carts of gold, silver and jewelry.
Immediately, after Zhang Cunren sent someone to inform Durd, he led the ** thousand men and horses to quickly evacuate Guangguang County, and a large cart was pulled out of the city gate, and countless Qing soldiers escorted their looted property to flee south.
Zhang Cunren's decision was very wise, and soon after the Qing soldiers left Guangguang, Wang Yan arrived in Guangguang County, and a cavalryman ran in front of Wang Yan and reported: "Qi Guogong, the Qing soldiers have withdrawn south, and Guangguang County has become an empty city." ”
"Old fox, the sense of smell is really sensitive~" Wang Yan smiled slightly on the horse and said coldly: "Where is the deputy general of the superintendent?" ”
Wang Shixiu immediately clenched his fists and responded: "The last general is here!" Please also ask the prince to command~"
"According to Huang Ting's confession, the thief Zhang looted and looted a lot of property in northern Fujian, and you go to help Bendu take it back." Wang Yan pointed at the south with a horsewhip and said: "Remember, just get back your belongings, don't chase too far, we are not familiar with the terrain of northern Fujian, so as not to be ambushed." ”
"Nuo ~ Guogong rest assured!" Wang Shixiu clenched his fists again, and then waved his hand, and the chess and card officer behind him immediately issued an order, and a drum sounded, and nearly 10,000 Governor Biao cavalry immediately chased south.
The reason why the nomadic regime repeatedly waged wars, but the Central Plains Dynasty was very cautious about wars, and even had the words "the major affairs of the country, in worship and Rong", such a statement, is because the Central Plains Dynasty launched wars at a high cost.
The cost of war is very low, and there is basically money to be earned from the war, while the Central Plains Dynasty wants food and salary, and the pension for the dead, and the places damaged by the war have to spend money on reconstruction and relief, no matter how it is calculated, it is not worth it.
Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty had changed from half-fishing and half-hunting to farming, their style was still burning, killing and looting, so the Southern Ming were naturally financially weak and needed a lot of money, but they had no source of tax revenue.
Wang Yan knew that Zhang Cunren had robbed a large amount of property, so he naturally couldn't let it go.
At this time, the sky was completely bright, Wang Yan watched the Governor Cavalry go south, so he waved his horsewhip and said heroically: "Generals, follow this Governor to welcome the holy car down the mountain." ”
The Ming army of the brigade went to the direction of Ziguangguan, walked five miles, and met Yuan Zongdi on the road, he attacked one thousand eight banner soldiers with seven hundred elite soldiers, and when the battle was in full swing, Durd learned that Zhang Cunren had retreated south, so he hurriedly broke away from the battle and led the troops to flee south.
At the moment, a group of people were mighty, the dust covered the sky, the golden drums sounded in unison, and the soldiers raised the flags, put out a guard of honor, and welcomed the Son of Heaven down the mountain.
Everyone passed through the rugged mountain road and came to the Purple Light Temple, the battle in the temple was over, Qin Feng was waiting at the door, Wang Yan immediately asked with some anxiety: "Your Majesty has you been okay?" ”
"Back to the Duke of the Kingdom, Your Majesty has been eating for many days, and he has been frightened a little, and his body is a little sick, but he is fine." Qin Feng saluted.
"What about the queen, the crown prince, the left cabinet and many ministers?"
"The queen, the crown prince and the elder are all fine, and the prince doesn't have to worry!"
When Wang Yan heard this, he immediately let go of his heart, "The blessing of the emperors of the past dynasties is really the luck of the Han family!" ”
Qin Feng said: "However, in the chaos, the King of Quyang, the King of Xihe, the King of Songzi, and many ministers and clans were still killed by the Qing soldiers. It is not good to protect the lowly position, and the public is also asked to punish it. ”
"If you can keep Your Majesty safe, you will make a great contribution, as for the martyred highnesses and ministers, it is not your fault, this governor will let people be buried well, you don't have to take it to heart!" Wang Yan patted Qin Feng's shoulder, and then said softly: "Take this governor to see Your Majesty~"
After Emperor Longwu set off from Fujing, he was running all the way, being chased by the Qing soldiers without respite, scurrying in the mountains and forests, he was weak because of state affairs, and after this toss, and hunger strike, the body of nearly fifty years old naturally collapsed immediately.
At this time, in the room, Emperor Longwu was lying on the bed, Empress Zeng was waiting, Dai Zhifan was standing aside, and an official was reporting outside: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Chu has arrived." ”
When Emperor Longwu heard this, he immediately asked Empress Zeng to help him stand up, and said excitedly: "Come in quickly, Xuan Wangqing come in~"
Wang Yan grabbed the hem of the official robe with one hand, and trotted in, looking at Emperor Longwu, who was dressed in a single coat and had a pale face, he immediately hurriedly bowed in front of Longwu's bed, and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, the minister is late, let Your Majesty suffer, and the minister deserves death!" The minister was favored by the country, and he thought about the newspaper. Now Zheng Zhilong rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, trapping His Majesty in danger, and the crime was full of crimes. The minister has 60,000 elite soldiers, and he will rebel against the division and avenge his father! ”
