Chapter 30 The heart was too soft, so I had to kill him
In the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, it is very common to be an official to achieve the height of Fu Guan, ups and downs, Fu Guan is only in his fifties, and he is still a young and middle-aged cadre for officials at the level of Zaifu.
"The knot is in the human realm, and there is no noise of cars and horses." It's just a cover-up.
After Fu Guan was dismissed, he still regarded himself as the prime minister in terms of mentality, the Qing army invaded Jiangxi, and everyone else ran south, but he ran east to Shaowu Mansion in Fujian, and dangled under the nose of Emperor Longwu.
Everyone's evaluation of themselves is often on the high side, and in Fu Guan's view, although he is sloppy in the subsections, he is the mainstay of the Ming court. After he was dismissed as the governor of Jiangxi, his successor Wan Yuan Ji made a mess, and lost most of Jiangxi in just a few months, which fully shows that after leaving his Fu Guan, Emperor Longwu will not be able to play.
As Emperor Longwu's situation became more and more difficult, Fu Guan's expectations in his heart became higher and higher, so he waited for Emperor Longwu to repent and fully realize the mistake of destroying the Great Wall, and then sent angels to come to the door again and again, asking him to turn the tide...... But to his disappointment, after three months in Shaowu Mansion, Emperor Longwu ignored him and seemed to have forgotten him.
Fu Guan regarded himself as a pillar of talent and was full of the heart of serving the country, but he was treated so coldly by Emperor Longwu, and the depression in his heart can be imagined.
"Presumptuous! It's a little vain, but the old man never cares......"
"The little nephew spoke vainly for a while, and asked the uncle to forgive his sins!"
Wang Kefan hurriedly saluted and intercepted his words: "Uncle is a lonely and loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, how can he sit and watch the mountains and rivers shatter and the society subverted, and the little nephew compares Liu Zongzhou, Ma Shiying, and Shi Kefa with the uncle." It's really inappropriate......"
Fu Guan couldn't help but be stunned, Liu, Ma, and Shi were not related, and compared with him Fu Guan, they were even more nondescript.
What does that mean?
His heart is like lightning, and he has already realized something.
"Virtuous nephew, are you persuading me to become a leader?" Obedient and listening, he immediately grasped the key point in Wang Kefan's words - the lonely and loyal minister, who does not ask others to understand the discipline, and knows that he can't do it, at this point. Shi Kefa and Liu Zongzhou did not do well, but before Ma Shiying's sacrifice, he had the meaning of being loyal to the country.
"State affairs are so erosive, no matter the secretary of cloth, he should give priority to the community......"
The Ming Dynasty was about to fall. Personal gains and losses should be put aside, and there should be a part to do one's part. Your Fu Guan's identity is on hold here. If Emperor Longwu doesn't give you an official job, you will lie down and not do it, which is not suitable.
The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband!
Everyone understands people, Wang Kefan has stopped talking about it, and he won't say more. Fu Guan bowed his head and was silent, thoughtful......
"Knock knock ......!"
The hurried war drums suddenly sounded, and the general assault on Dongxiang County began!
More than 20,000 volunteers from the Gongyi battalion and Fuzhou launched a general attack from four directions at the same time. On Wang Kefan's side, it was the main direction of attack, and nearly 10,000 people were impulsive together, and the scene was extremely spectacular.
Swords and guns are like forests, flags are like seas, and the Ming army seems to cover the entire field, pressing towards the city wall with calm steps. In the midst of them, there were several tall nest carts, a couple of slow bridge carts, and dozens of wooden donkey carts, which the soldiers carried ladders and flying bridges, followed behind the wooden donkey carts.
"Bang dang! Bang dang! ”
One after another flying bridges were set up on the opposite bank of the moat, the wooden donkey carts fell down the sacks, filled the trenches, and the Gongyi battalion and the Fuzhou volunteers easily rushed under the city walls with a charge, and there were scattered bows and arrows in the city, but they could not stop the Ming army like a tide.
White flag!
A white flag was suddenly raised on the tower, and the resistance on the walls ceased completely, and then the gates were opened from the inside.
The city is broken!
Under the tremendous pressure, the young and strong people in the city fled one after another, and the only two hundred green battalion soldiers were scattered on the four city walls, unable to control the situation at all, seeing that Dongxiang County was about to be broken by the Ming army, Dongxiang County finally erected a white flag and opened the door to surrender.
After a while, Dongxiang County Commander was tied up by Wuhua and taken over.
"The general spares his life! The general spares his life! The villain has a meritorious contribution to the city, please spare my life! ”
"It's too late." Wang Kefan shook his head: "I besieged the city for five days, and I shot books many times to surrender, if you have the intention of going anyway, why didn't you surrender until the army attacked the city?" ”
According to the rules of the Gongyi Battalion, there is a specified time limit for recruiting and surrendering, and once the time of the Zuihou ultimatum is exceeded, it is regarded as resisting to the end, and it is not to mention killing. This is to prevent some people from taking chances, just like the Dongxiang County Order, seeing that the Gongyi camp was surrounded and not fighting, they wanted to wait for the Qing army to reinforce, and when they saw that they were really moving, they surrendered the city at the Zuihou juncture.
"There are still old mothers, wives and children in the villain's house, and they are afraid of the green battalion soldiers in the city, so they dare not surrender......" The county commander defended himself in every possible way, but the reason was very far-fetched, there were only 200 green battalion soldiers in the city, and he always had a few henchmen as the county commander, and it was not difficult to find an opportunity to surrender.
As soon as Wang Kefan waved his hand, the soldiers of the Gongyi battalion stepped forward to drag him up, and he was about to pull him down and behead him, but the county commander shouted and begged for mercy.
"The general spares his life, the general spares his life, the villain is willing to recruit and surrender to Xianxian County, and make meritorious service for his crimes!"
With his shouting, Jie Chongxi and the others were a little moved, this Dongxiang County order is cheap, it doesn't matter if he kills or not, if he can really recruit into Xian County, it will be an unexpected joy.
The county order saw a glimmer of life, and swore again and again, claiming that he and Jinxian County Commander were classmates and friends, and they would be able to successfully surrender with only a three-inch tongue.
"Really?" Wang Kefan looked into his eyes and said word by word: "If you subjugate the Fa at this time, I will keep your family safe, if you can't recruit Jinxian, it won't be so simple." ”
The Dongxiang County Commander was stunned for a moment, his face was distorted, and he was entangled.
"Forget it, cut him down."
Wang Kefan didn't say anything more, and ordered the soldiers of the Gongyi Battalion to drag down the Dongxiang County Order and behead the public.
"Yuntai, I didn't expect you to be so soft-hearted, you must kill him." Jie Chongxi looked at Wang Kefan, and there was some indescribable taste in his eyes.
Wang Kefan nodded: "Jiejunmen should also understand that he only boasted for his life, I let him go today, and I will have to kill his family in the future, and some of them can't do it." ”
"Understood, understood, hey......" Jie Chongxi sighed and said no more.
The Gongyi camp entered the county seat of Dongxiang, Zhang Bang Anmin, temporarily rested, and when he had lunch, Fu Guan found Wang Kefan again.
"Yuntai, I've thought about it, I'd rather be Ma Shiying than Liu Zongzhou...... I want to go to Fujian and ask the saint for an errand, even if it is a county order. ”
"Uncle is serious, the county order is not necessary, it is better to ask for life to rescue Ganzhou!" (To be continued......)
