Chapter 182: The Shaken Manchu Imperial Power

Junzhou Jingle Palace, the head of the eight palaces of Wudang Mountain, is said to be the birthplace of Zhenwu.

More than 20 years ago, when Chen Ming was born, this place had been completely annihilated by the Danjiangkou Reservoir. Before the release of water, the local government only had time to relocate a number of cultural relics such as the archway and the turtle monument, and the original site was completely covered by the water.

Chen Ming had never been to Wudang Mountain in his previous life, and this trip was obviously too late, which made him more interested in the Jingle Palace in front of him.

There were only a few palace guards, and Chen Ming couldn't tell if they had special skills. The two are well water and river water, and Chen Ming, who is about to leave Junzhou again, does not need to bring three or two Taoist people to tell him about the ancients. And the Taoists were already living a very hard life under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so they won't come to Chen Ming now.

"One day, if Lao Tzu rules the world, he will definitely not nest in the palace in the capital all year round." In his previous life, Chen Ming liked to travel very much, but unfortunately he had no money at that time, and if he could be 'satisfied' in this life, he must get his wish.

Returning to the division, Chen Jiajun cleanly defeated Junzhou, the prefect of Junzhou hanged a white silk, the treasury, the gunpowder bureau, etc. are very well preserved, especially the gunpowder bureau, and there is no "my Daqing" loyal ministers set off a big fireworks, and a batch of gunpowder and a considerable amount of sulfur, saltpeter, wicker carbon and other materials in the inventory fell into the hands of Chen Jiajun.

Chen Jiajun grabbed the officials of the Junzhou Yamen, these people are all local snakes, which family is on an errand in the Gunpowder Bureau and the Ordnance Bureau, it is very clear. It was completely according to the map, and all those who did not stay were caught in the army. Chen Ming left a battalion to sit in, and also equipped with an artillery team and a musket team, and more than 700 people were used to defend the city and guard the 'prisoners', and things were very easy.

At this time, when more than 1,000 prisoners of war from Yunyang Town were escorted here, the news quickly spread to Yunyang Fucheng.

The entire Yunyang Mansion City was in chaos in an instant.

Especially the Wuchang City garrison that was sent by the commander to reinforce Yunyang, the two battalion heads on the left and right, Zhenzhen didn't want to stay in Yunyang Mansion City for a quarter of an hour.

The only remaining troops in Yunyang Town were wiped out by the Chen family army in one fell swoop, and now there are only 1,000 people in Yunyang Mansion, counting their two battalion heads, there are less than 2,000 people, and there are no artillery, how can they resist the Chen family army?

More importantly, Zhu Bangdao was defeated like this, and the spirit of the Yunyang defenders was completely drained, whether it was the people of Yunyang or their Wuchang City garrison, they were afraid of the Chen family army from the bottom of their bones, and they no longer had the courage to resist it.

Wuchang City guards two battalions, the right battalion is stationed in the city, and the left battalion and a part of Yunyang people are guarded in Yangxipu. It was led by Mao Taixing, the general of the Wuchang City garrison.

Yangxipu is a rare good place in Yunyang Prefecture, located in the northeast of Yunyang City, facing the Han River, backed by mountains, three mountains, two waters, five fields, the terrain is high in the west and low in the east, and the north mountain, the south river, and the north and south are inclined. At the same time, there is also a Yunzhou beach in the Han River, where there are 20 families and nearly 100 people. If the defenders have enough artillery in their hands, they can still defend it if they are deployed on Yunzhou Beach to hold the Han River, and then block the northern road with large soldiers.

It's a pity that Yunyang Town has already pulled the artillery away several times, and the treasure land of Yunzhou Beach has been wasted.

Mao Taixing is absolutely unwilling to die for the people of Yunyang, and the green battalion soldiers of the left and right battalions under him are not willing to die in vain. Chen Zhi, the garrison of the right battalion, was in a hurry like a dog not being able to cross the river at this time, and persuaded Mao Taixing to leave again and again.

Anyway, what they Wuchang soldiers know, the governor of Huguang is an adult, and his health has not been good since the beginning of summer. This Zhenghuang Banner noble, who was born in the Ilgen Jueluo clan, is already sixty-five years old, and his life will not last long.

General Jingzhou is finished, and there is no lord yet; If the governor of Huguang wants to die again, who can take care of their Wuchang City garrison?

Chen Zhi did not avoid suspicion at all because he and Chen Ming were 'one family five hundred years ago', and he slipped away in front of Mao Taixing again and again, and ran away as soon as possible. The target of Chen Jiajun is obviously the hundreds of thousands of displaced refugees in Yunyang, and the Wuchang City garrison runs into the mountains with food, and then kills them to recover Yunyang when Chen Jiajun leaves.

I've heard that it's snowing in the north, and winter is coming.

……

Ankoudian is not very far from Yangxipu, Chen Ming was not prepared to stay in Ankoudian for more, leaving two teams to guard the prisoners, and he led two thousand soldiers to drag the cannon and rushed straight to Yunyang Mansion. Yangxipu is naturally the first to bear the brunt.

Wu Heqing, the prefect of Yunyang, understood very well what the situation was developing, he asked his family to escape as soon as possible, and prepared a pot of poisonous wine and sat quietly in the lobby of the mansion, waiting for the arrival of the last moment.

The panic outside the yamen was louder and higher, and a servant ran up to the hall in a panic, "Lord Fuzun, Wuchang people, Wuchang people opened the south gate, ran, they ran......"

The nerves of this official were about to collapse, and the men and horses of the left battalion of the Wuchang City garrison actually abandoned the city and fled at this juncture. This Yunyang Mansion City has no hope of holding it at all. Tears flowed from the officials' eyes.

A hundred people in his heart complained about Chen Jiajun, you said that you are a bunch of Henan people, won't it be over if you make trouble in Henan, why are you still going to their poor countryside? The small life of the government servant was originally comfortable and calm, but now it is so troubled by Chen Jiajun, not to mention that the family is ruined, it is also 100% defeated!

Wu Heqing was not at all surprised by the abandonment of the city by the Wuchang Green Battalion. When the news of Zhu Bangdao's defeat and the capture of more than 1,000 green camps in Yunyang Town reached his ears, Wu Heqing expected this scene.

Is it just a left battalion that escaped? That Mao Taixing was afraid that he would have fled with the right camp a long time ago. The reason why no one came back to the city to report it, and it is very likely that the militia groups assigned to the right camp will also scatter like birds and beasts, and each will go back to his own house to find his own mother.

Wu Heqing has been rolling in officialdom for 20 years, how can he not know those ugly filth? There is a big difference between the Wuchang Green Battalion and the Yunyang magistrates, the Yunyang Mansion City was lost, and the former was reprimanded at most, and there was not even a reprimand during the war. And the latter, there is only a dead end.

As far as Wu Heqing is concerned, as a Jiangsu person, it is impossible for him to be so tired that his children and grandchildren have no way out because of his own life, and the entire Wu family is unlucky. So he had to die. Even if he doesn't want to die anymore.

I don't know when the official who came to report the news had disappeared in the lobby, and the louder and louder noise in the city of Yunyang Mansion resounded in Wu Heqing's ears. The entire prefect's yamen, which was majestic and towering in the past, was like an unshakable mountain, the prefect's yamen that suppressed in everyone's hearts, the prefect's yamen that could not tolerate the slightest blasphemy and contempt of the small people, and the prefect's yamen, which symbolized the prestige and power of the Qing Dynasty, was as silent as a morgue at this moment.

Perhaps except for Wu Heqing, a living person, and some people in prison, there is no second person in the entire prefect's yamen.

Wu Heqing closed his eyes and waited for death! In the sudden shaking of the Manchu imperial power......
