.........
Shandong, Weixian County, Qingzhou Prefecture, is unbearably hot. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The old people said that there had never been such a hot day in the past few decades, and the last time they remembered that it was so hot that it was unbearable was the former Ming Dynasty Wanli Ye.
"It's hot or hot, at least the winter won't be so cold anymore."
Young people are unbearable because of the high temperature, but the old people are happy, natural disasters and man-made disasters have been continuous in the past few decades, but it's not all because God doesn't appreciate food. Now that it is finally better, the weather is getting better day by day, the yield of crops in the field can be higher than in previous years, and if there is something to eat, people will not starve to death.
Today is another hot day, and the temperature has been rising since the beginning of the night. In the morning, the water rises above the Wei River, and the air is damp and stuffy, and people will sweat when they sit in the house.
"Qingguo's hellish weather, why is it so hot!"
The body of the soldier and horse Yu Hou Shenliu was not too fat, on the contrary, he looked very strong, but even so, the high temperature and stuffiness still made him a little unbearable. He wanted to take off his shirt and cool down, but he was afraid of being seen by the Manchurians.
After staying in the house for a while, Shen Liu, who had tried to soak in a bucket, finally couldn't stand it, he got up and walked towards the door, and decided to go to the river outside the county to take a bath, anyway, it was not yet dawn, and he was not afraid of being seen.
Wei County is now stationed not only with 5,000 North Korean soldiers led by Shen Liu, but also with 400 soldiers from the Eight Banners of the Manchurian Zhenglan Banner and more than 1,000 soldiers from the Green Battalion of Shandong of the Qing Kingdom. Their mission is to hold Weixian, but also to search for the rebels to the east, waiting for an opportunity to annihilate them.
The Korean soldiers did not rush to Jinan, but when they were about to arrive, they received a military order from Huang Wu, the governor of Shandong of the Qing Dynasty, to immediately turn to the east. It is said that the Qing rebels in the second prefecture of Denglai in the east have shrunk together under the blow of Bel Tuntai, and there are signs that the thief leader Yu Qi wants to lead the rebels into Qingzhou.
For this reason, Huang Wu, the governor of Shandong, hurriedly ordered the Korean army, which had not yet arrived in the provincial capital, to be transferred to Weixian, and was afraid that the Korean army would not fight to the death for the Qing Dynasty.
Han Juyuan, who was in charge of liaising with the North Korean army and supervising the army, did not break his promise and coordinated food and grass supplies for the North Koreans, but the North Koreans were not very grateful to him, because they knew very well that the generosity of the Qing people meant that they needed the help of the North Korean army even more now.
The North Korean army was mainly concentrated in the southeast two places of Ui County, and was responsible for the defense of these two city gates.
When Shen Liu came out, the Qing people in the city had already begun to set up stalls and work.
When he went out of the city, he couldn't help but feel very relieved to see that the shotgun masters guarding the city gate were also sweating profusely, but they always stuck to their posts. After all, he brought all the elite soldiers in the country, and he even claimed that the Qing people would come to help the war, if this was unbearable, it would not only lose the face of his soldiers and horses Yu Hou Shenliu, but also the face of the king of North Korea. And it will also seriously affect the weight and role of Korea in the eyes of the Qing State.
"Lord Yuhou!"
When a 10,000 household guarding the city saw Shen Liu coming, he hurriedly came over and said something worried, but the two search teams they sent out in the past few days have not come back so far.
"Lost?"
Shen Liu frowned, and shook his head again, thinking that it was impossible, because the search team had Qing people as guides, and it was impossible to get lost. His intuition told him that the search team was likely to have an accident, after all, the Qing people said that there were a large number of rioters gathering in the east of Wei County, so the possibility that the search team was attacked by rioters could not be ruled out.
After ordering the ten thousand households to report the matter to the Qing people, Shen Liu continued to walk to the river, and told the shotgun masters on duty that they could go to the river to take a bath after they were off duty.
The search party may have encountered danger, but it is impossible for the rebels to be around Wei County, because the Manchurians and the Han army green battalion have been patrolling outside for the past two days.
The Qing soldiers may have been arrogant and arrogant, and they looked down on their Korean soldiers, but there was one thing that Shen Liu still appreciated, that is, the Qing soldiers were very vigilant, and it was impossible for them to put themselves in danger. Moreover, in addition to them, there was also a Qing army in the east of Weixian County that was encircling and suppressing the rebellious people, and I heard that the leader was led by a Manchurian counselor.
After a few words, Shen Liu walked to the river with several of his own soldiers, one of whom was his nephew Shen Tong.
Shen Tong's father was Shen Liu's eldest brother, who died in the "Bingzi Chaos", when Shen Liu was still a teenager, but he took the child left by the eldest brother with him.
Under Shen Liu's careful care, Shen Tong developed very well, and he was half a year taller than children of the same age. Because it is Shen Liu's nephew, Shen Tong is very well taken care of in the army and has received a fairly good education, if nothing else, next year Shen Tong will participate in the imperial examination of the Korean state, and now he is following his uncle to help dispose of some military Chinese books. If you can get a little military merit in the Qing Kingdom, it will undoubtedly be of great help to Shentong's imperial examination.
After coming to the river, Shen Liu moved his legs, and told Shen Tong a little uneasily, he was afraid that his nephew would swim into the middle of the river, you know, the water depth in the middle of the river can stand two adults.
"Uncle, don't worry, I won't swim to the middle."
Shen Tong nodded sensibly, stepped forward to take Shen Liu's clothes, carefully stacked them together, and found a stone to hold down.
"That's good."
Shen Liu was still not at ease, and instructed the soldiers to take good care of his nephew.
Not far from the river, there are dozens of Qing women washing clothes, seeing a team of soldiers who have not shaved their hair to the river, the women are very nervous, knowing what North Korea these soldiers are from, not the soldiers and horses of the Great Qing Kingdom, so they don't even dare to wash their clothes, and they bow their heads and pick up the barrel and go back to the city. I am afraid that if I walk slowly, I will be humiliated by these North Korean soldiers.
After glancing at the rising Wei River, Shen Liu took a deep breath and began to enter the water. After taking a few steps forward, when my knees were not in the water, I suddenly felt a coolness, very comfortable, and couldn't help but "plop" and jumped down, splashing a splash, stirring up circles of water lines.
The coolness of the river made Shen Liu's whole body feel comfortable, and it also made his head cool. He plunged into the water one by one, and after swimming forward for more than ten meters, he emerged from the water, wanting to see Shentong, he was still a little worried about his nephew. But to his surprise, none of the nephews and soldiers on the shore went into the water, but all looked at the other side of the river with wide eyes and horror.
"Why don't you come down?"
Shen Liu didn't know what Shentong was looking at, he was only curious about how this nephew could be so honest and not go into the water, this is not like his character, you must know that before, he had already jumped off before he went into the water.
"Uncle.... Uncle ...."
Hearing his uncle's call, Shentong stammered and pointed to the other side, and shouted with fear and fear: "There are a lot of people there! ”
"A lot of people?!"
Shen Liu was stunned for a moment, subconsciously turned his head to look at the other side, and after just looking at it, his face changed, his hands and feet stopped paddling, and he sank down sharply.
"It's the chaotic people, the chaotic people of the Qing country!"
Shen Liu, who was choked by the river for a few bites, couldn't care about almost drowning, and he swam to the shore desperately, because on the other side of the river, countless pairs of eyes were staring at him.
When Shen Liu climbed ashore, a bell rang in the sky above Wei County, which represented the presence of enemies. The rebels on the other side seemed to feel no need to hide themselves anymore, and they walked to the river and shouted and cursed at the other side, apparently intending to attack Wei County.
"Come into town!"
After going ashore, Shen Liu couldn't even wear clothes. The bell at the head of the city also rang more urgently, and the Korean soldiers and green battalion soldiers defending the city, as well as the Manchurians in the city, all went to the head of the city.
The people and merchants in the city came to their senses and became a mess, and the stalls of all sizes were knocked over by the panicked crowd, and the goods fell to the ground scatteredly, trampled by the passing crowd.
After Shen Liu ran into the city, he immediately went to the city, and when the soldiers and horses at the head of the city, Park Zhengtai and other officers saw him, and they all reported the situation on the other side with some anxiety.
"Uncle, your clothes!"
When Shen Liu was listening to his subordinates, his nephew Shen Tong came behind him with his clothes. Only then did Shen Liu realize that he was wearing nothing but a pair of big pants. Taking over his clothes, Shen Liu hurriedly put them on.
The leader of the Eight Banners of Manchukuo in the city was Shulk, the co-leader, who ran to the head of the city with a big sword bare. The staff general of the Shandong Green Battalion and others also arrived in a hurry in disheveled clothes, and the only one who was neatly dressed was Han Juyuan, who was in charge of the Korean army.
"How many people are here, and how did they get here!"
No one answered Shulke's words, because no one knew how the rebels had come to Wei County.
Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Shulk scolded angrily, looked at the stunned North Koreans, shook his head slightly, knocked his head and looked out of the city.
Although the water vapor on the Wei River was very strong at this time, the rioters on the other side had already rushed to the shore, and they were waving all kinds of weapons and shouting in this direction, and some of the brave rioters even jumped into the river, and they were in a mess, and they didn't know how many people came.
"Lord Shulk, mark the wish to lead the troops to capture and kill the rebels!"
Seeing that the chaotic people on the other side of the river were really out of order, and they were completely relying on the large number of people to make a fool of themselves, Zhou Tian, the general of the Shandong Green Battalion, had the intention to make meritorious contributions, so he came out to ask for battle.
"General Zhou, the chaotic people have suddenly come to our Wei County, I am afraid that there will be a big change in the east, so we must be cautious. If it was Yu Qi, I'm afraid things would be a little tricky. ”
Han Juyuan didn't know the soldiers, but he also knew that the rebels couldn't come to Weixian for no reason, and they could come here to show the fact that the Qing army in the east was defeated.
"If Yu Qi is powerful, he won't ask Lord Baylor to come here." Zhou Tian was bent on meritorious service, and said to Shulk: "Lord Co-leader, if you fail to make meritorious service under the mark, please ask the Lord Co-leader to tie up the mark, and the Lord will die under the knife of Lord Belle!" ”
