After that, Yang Lin once again set his sights on the Tartars who retreated all the way north, after retreating north from Langzhong, Haoge was overwhelmed by the tactics of righteousness and bravery, and after passing through Cangxi County, he appointed Wang Zuntan, the chief soldier, as the governor of Sichuan, and ordered him to command the green battalion soldiers and horses, and led the Manmeng Eight Banners to retreat in the direction of Lizhou (today's Guangyuan retreat) for a hundred miles a day.

If Wang Jingwei and others can be regarded as loyal and righteous people in the Xinhai Revolution, and became a shameful traitor in the face of Japan's crazy invasion and traitor seeking glory, this Wang Zuntan is probably also this type of character.

Wang Zuntan's father, Wang Tong, once served as a scholar in the Ming Cabinet, and it can be said that he was a typical second-generation official, who faced the rogue when he was young, and in the face of the Qing army's entry into the coward, he also raised his arms to lead the people of his hometown to fight against the rogue Tartars, so that his reputation was far and wide.

After the Tatars entered the customs, Wang Zuntan followed Liu Zeqing, one of the four towns in Jiangbei, to surrender to the Manchus, and since then his outlook on life has been completely reversed, following the new master to slaughter the people frantically, as if being kind to the people will damage his favor in front of the new master.

Since following Haoge into Sichuan, Wang Zuntan must be in front of each battle, and has made great contributions to the Tartars (the battle in history is very high, and Haoge was appointed as the first governor of Sichuan), this time in the face of the volunteers interspersed with tactics Haoge was unable to cope, and was forced to be helpless, so he had to appoint him as the first governor of Sichuan in the Manchu Dynasty, hoping to turn the tide.

After staying in Cangxi County, Wang Zuntan forcibly captured thousands of people within a radius of ten miles in front of the battle to block the volunteers from attacking the city.

In the face of such a barbaric act of this guy, Yang Bingyi, Feng Youqing and others were helpless, so they had to send messengers to report quickly to seek a good solution.

Just when Yang Lin gritted his teeth with hatred, Qian Bangqi seemed full of confidence, thinking that after this Wang Zuntan was loyal and good, if he knew that he was moved by emotion and reason, he would definitely be able to persuade him to lead his troops to surrender.

The tea almost squirted out of his mouth, and he forced a smile and didn't say anything.

When the surrounding generals saw this, they spoke outside the words one by one, and their words were not good.

Yang Cheng said with a smile: "Supervising the army, Wang Zuntan's old father is a scholar of the Ming Cabinet, and Wang Zuntan was also famous for his benevolence and righteousness in the township when he was young, but this kind of person has annihilated his conscience for the sake of fame and fortune, and often looks at others as stepping stones, and often uses other people's blood to stain his official hat red." ”

Yao Chonglie shook his head and said: "Prison army, many people used to pretend to be benevolent, righteous and moral, pretending to be saints and gentlemen, but in fact, they were outright hypocrites, in fact, their moral level was not even comparable to ordinary mountain and village women."

In the past, Wang Zuntan won the reputation of a righteous man and a gentleman in order to gain a good reputation and make a fortune as an official, but now in order to please the new master, everyone has also seen it. ”

Jing Keqin looked quite angry, and counted all the actions of the royal department in Sichuan this time, claiming that this Wang Zuntan burned and forcibly captured the people, which was more excessive than those other traitors.

Convincing him is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger. ”

When Qian Bangxin heard this, his whole face fell, he knelt in the hall, and knocked his head on the ground: "My lord, if you want to defeat the Tartars and recover the north and south capitals, you need to gather the wisdom of everyone.

Zeng Ying, Tu Long, and Wang Xiang used to say that adults were intolerant, and they were bent on how to reorganize the righteous army that came to Shun, although the old man knew that this was not the original intention of the adults, but everyone misunderstood the adults.

But adults should also have the heart to surrender and rebel, so that they can gather the strength of everyone and defeat the Tartars to recover the north and south capitals. ”

Yang Lin stood up from his seat with an angry face and was about to have a seizure, and Yin Chengqi next to him grabbed him with his hand, and said with a smile: "Qian Jianjun, you open your eyes and talk nonsense, saying that adults have no room for people, look at the generals under the account?"

Yang Bingyi, Jing Keqin, and Liu Jinfu are from the local tyrants, and Wang Zhibang, Wang Fuchen, and He Dou are from the Great Western Army.

Qian Jianjun, as the saying goes, there will be peace, there will be peace, you, why do you repeatedly contradict adults, and say such undesirable words all day long? ”

Qian Bangxin took off the black gauze hat on his head, handed it to the seat and said: "My lord, the lower officials are in a hurry to say something rebellious, and I hope that the lord will punish him."

Zhuge Liang is clever and does things himself, even if he does his best, he is trapped in Xichuan.

What I want is to hope that the adults can recruit good talents, and I hope to see the adults lead the Northern Expedition and recover the northern and southern capitals. ”

Yang Lin was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and helped him up and said: "Qian Jian Jun, please get up, what punishment is not punished, don't talk nonsense because of people."

Even if the overseers are willing, then I will give the overseers three days, and if the overseers fail to persuade Wang Zuntan to return to submission within three days, then I will lead my troops to attack the city. ”

Everyone was shocked, Yin Chengqi desperately grabbed Yang Lin's arm and said: "My lord, the soldiers are fast, the scouts are coming, Luo Luo Hun Manda Haizheng is leading the Tartars to retreat, if the Lord is bound by Wang Zuntan, let the two Tartar armies turn, I am afraid it will not be the blessing of our army." ”

Yang Lin smiled awkwardly and said: "People have to stand tall and see far, in the short term, Qian Jianjun's approach has no effect, but in the long run, this is the right way." ”

Qian Bangqi was overjoyed, knocked his head on the ground twice and turned to leave, and after returning to his residence, he called three or five protégés to discuss, and everyone thought it was not feasible, but Qian Bangqi insisted on his own opinion and took two followers into the city to persuade him to surrender.

On this day, when they arrived at the front camp, Yang Bingyi and Feng Youqing, the two generals, heard that Qian Bangxin was about to enter the city to persuade him to surrender, and they all persuaded each other: "Prison army, this Wang Zuntan is obviously not the original Wang Zuntan, and now for my promotion and wealth, this Wang Zuntan is very cruel to the people." ”

Qian Bangxin shook his head and said: "Although what the two generals said is reasonable, when the old man was able to test, Wang Zuntan's father Wang Tong was a teacher for the old man.

Now seeing his only son trapped in a lonely city, if you are still worried about such and such risks, am I still a human being? ”

There was no way, Yang Bingyi and Feng Youqing had no choice but to send personnel to the front of the city to shout, and the other party used a basket to hang Qian Bangxin into the city.

Seeing Qian Bangji, Wang Zuntan hurriedly stepped forward and kowtowed: "Brother Qian was able to enter the city without risk, and Brother Tai's righteousness is admirable." ”

Qian Bangqi moved his sore arm for a moment, and arched his hand: "Brother Wang, my teacher is a scholar of the Ming Cabinet, and Brother Tai is also quite famous in the local area, how can he surrender to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and do such a rebellious thing." ”

Wang Zuntan pressed the big knife on his waist, and suddenly smiled: "Brother Qian, the Ming Dynasty has eight or nine out of ten of them in the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty can open a dynasty in this history."

The younger brother returned to the Qing Dynasty, which is not too deviant. ”

Qian Bangxin was furious and almost turned to leave, Wang Zuntan grabbed his arm in surprise and said, "Brother Qian is angry, and the younger brother knows that he is wrong."

Now trapped in a lonely city, I still hope that Brother Qian will say one or two. ”

Pointing to the people on the city wall, Qian Bangqi said angrily: "The two armies are fighting, just fight openly, how can they harm the people?"

If you are still a man, let the people on the city wall go. ”

As soon as Wang Zuntan heard that he had repeatedly apologized, his subordinates dragged him and dragged him into the hall to drink and talk.

In the next two days, Qian Bangxin repeatedly asked the other party to let go of the people on the city wall, Wang Zuntan first said that his family was taken hostage and was still in Xi'an, and then said that several generals in the army were desperately following the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and even coaxed and deceived that they were unwilling to release them.

Late at night on the third day, Qian Bangxin tossed and turned in bed, tomorrow was the last time agreed, Wang Zuntan was unwilling to let go of the hostages at all, making people unable to sleep.

In the middle of the night, I first heard a commotion on the west city wall, and now although the city is full of grass and trees, but the west is close to the Jialing River, what danger can there be?

But feeling more and more that the scene was wrong, Qian Bangqi got up from the bed, put on three or five clothes, and rushed to the courtyard to take a look, and suddenly found that the west was in flames.

Qian Bangqi was shocked, could it be that the lord led his troops to attack Cangxi County from the Jialing River? If this is the case, Wang Zuntan will inevitably be angry and angry with himself.

Thinking of this, Qian Bangqi hurriedly found a place to hide.

As soon as he hid, he saw a group of soldiers rushing into the courtyard with torches, shouting loudly from afar that Qian Bangqian was treacherous and was now going to attack the other party.

Everyone rushed into the bedroom, saw that Qian Bangxin had already left the empty house, everyone looked for it with torches, and passed by Qian Bangxin hiding in the attic a few times, but due to the chaos outside, people came and went everywhere, some asserted that Qian Bangxin was still in the yard, and some looked at the back door open to assert that the other party had escaped, and did not search carefully.

Hiding in the attic, listening to the sound of killing outside, Qian Bangxin hid in the dark and cried bitterly, until the killing sound gradually subsided at noon the next day, and dared to go out of the yard.

The street was full of volunteers, and there was a corpse lying horizontally about three or five paces, most of them were soldiers and horses of the Green Battalion.

Seeing the disheveled dejected appearance of the prison army in the middle of the street, everyone laughed, and everyone found two clean clothes to put on, and escorted them to the city tower

From a distance, I saw Yang Lin sitting on the top, and Wang Zuntan kneeling below and several green battalion generals.

Wang Zuntan looked justified, and called Yang Lin not trustworthy, and said that he would give Qian Bangqi three days, why would he attack the city before he had time.

Yang Lin said with a smile: "Wang Zuntan, I agreed with Qian Bangxin for three days, but after the Qian Jian army entered the city, there was no news, and I was worried that you would kill the other party or kidnap him as a hostage."

Look at it, didn't you take thousands of people hostage, and now there is one more Ming envoy who is just persecuting me, don't you say? ”

Wang Zuntan was the first to say that he was sincere to Qian Bangxin, which once made everyone believe it to be true, but in the end, who knew that one of his generals took the initiative to expose it, and everyone suddenly realized.

Haoge gave Wang Zuntan the task but held on for ten days, Wang Zuntan first took the people hostage, and then saw Qian Bangxin throw himself into the net and was overjoyed, so that everyone waited for change, and if it didn't work, he was directly taken to the front of the battle as a hostage to save his life.

Who would have expected that Yang Lin was even more cunning, while ordering Qian Bangqi to enter the city to persuade him to surrender, and personally led the army to Cangxi County within two days, and sent a strong army to attack the city from the waterway in the dark night, and then took advantage of the chaos to attack the whole line, so as to capture the city and capture the first Sichuan governor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Wang Zuntan was dragged down and killed in front of the Confucian Temple amid a cheer.

Qian Bangxin howled and cried, there were elements of escaping from the tiger's mouth, there were also elements of being deceived by Wang Zuntan, and even more adults did not pay attention to faith and righteousness, and trapped themselves in danger.

And looking at Wang Zuntan who fell in a pool of blood, Yang Lin fell into deep thought, thinking about Wu Sangui.

When he was young, Wu Sangui was also famous for his filial piety, but why did he swear allegiance to the alien Manchu Qing Dynasty? Why did he betray the Manchus again in the end?

If the other party may still have dreams when he is young, but after facing the reality and deviating from his dreams, he becomes extremely self-interested, and he regards others as stepping stones.
