Chapter 716: Leng Ying is here
After Sun Yuan saw the king of Zhou by the Yellow River, the king of Zhou was already very sick, and when he saw him and Ma Shiying, he couldn't stop crying, saying that the king was useless, so that Kaifeng was flooded, and 100,000 people were buried in the flood.
If he hadn't thought about digging up the Yellow River to retreat from the enemy, how would the thieves have thought of the trick of flooding the city with water. Everything is the fault of this king, and this king deserves to die.
Zhou Wang Zhu Gongfang is in his early sixties this year, because of his noble background, he is well maintained on weekdays. I heard that he used to look like he was in his forties. But this defeat, mixed with grief and indignation, turned out to be completely old, his face was full of deep wrinkles, and his hair was half white.
I have to say that this King of Zhou is also a rare capable and good person in a group of pig-like royal families.
Li Zicheng opened the seal in the third place, and the king of Zhou almost scattered all his family property, and used all the belongings in the palace to encourage the morale of the defenders. In stark contrast to this, King Fu of Luoyang, when Li Zicheng attacked Luoyang, the defenders in the city had not been paid military salaries for some days, and their morale was low. The general defending the city discussed with King Fu and asked him if he would take some money out to reward the soldiers, and defend the city of Luoyang, so that he could defend the city
!
As soon as King Fu heard that he was going to make himself waist, he immediately lost his temper and came to a dime.
He didn't want to, if Luoyang couldn't hold it, he would be the first person to clean up the army. Moreover, once the city is broken, even if the gold and silver of the Fu Wangfu Mansion are no longer available, they will not be the spoils of the adult's family in the end.
If you want to talk about wealth, King Fu is the first among the kings in the late Ming Dynasty. At that time, he was very favored by Emperor Wanli, and even thought about making him the crown prince. I had no choice but to do it because of the strong opposition of the civil officials. Because of this, Emperor Wanli always felt that he owed something to this little son. When King Fu got married, Wanli directly paid a million taels of silver as a congratulatory gift. After King Fu became a vassal, a large number of imperial estates were assigned to the name of the Fu Domain.
Seeing his grief like this, Sun Yuan and Ma Shiying were sad, comforted him a few words, and promised him to help the people.
When it comes to giving relief to the victims, it is impossible to talk about it now.
First of all, the people of Kaifeng died and fled, and there was not much left.
Secondly, the entire Kaifeng province has become a large lake, and the first thing now is to plug the gap in the Yellow River and wait for the water to recede.
So, in the next period of time, Sun Yuan and Ma Shiying's main task was to rebuild the Yellow River embankment. This matter is mainly implemented on the Ningxiang Army, and in Sun Yuan's view, disaster relief can also be regarded as a kind of military training.
When he went to the embankment of the Yellow River, Sun Yuancai was taken aback, and after many days of washing, the breach of Zhujiazhai had expanded to a mile long. The surging yellow water pours southward like a waterfall. It's not so easy to plug the gap.
Moreover, there is not only one breach of the Yellow River, Li Zicheng not only dug up the Yellow River embankment in this section of Zhujiazhai, as if he was afraid that the water would not be big enough, but also dug the Majiakou side. Today, the break on the Majiakou side is also nearly a mile long.
There was no choice but to nail the stakes on both sides of the breach first, and then add them little by little with sandbags.
The water of the Yellow River is so large that at least eighty of the hundred sacks thrown into it were washed away. Moreover, as the breach narrows little by little, the water flow becomes more rapid, and it is more difficult to block the mouth.
Looking at the Yellow River that was still rolling away, Sun Yuan only felt that his head was bigger.
Huang You comforted him and said, "General, you don't have to worry, it's early winter, and it's about to be the time of the year when the Yellow River is at its lowest."
。 Moreover, if you wait for a while, as soon as the weather gets cold and the Yellow River freezes, things will be easier. ”
Sun Yuan smiled bitterly: "That's all it can be." ”
……
In the middle of October of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, goose feathers began to fly in the sky, and this year's midwinter came very early and was very cold.
Soon, news came from Li Zicheng's side that Sun Chuanting's troops were defeated by him in Nanyang and retreated to Shaanxi.
Here's the thing, after Kaifeng was besieged, Emperor Chongzhen continued to issue orders to strictly order Sun Chuanting to lead troops out of the customs to relieve the siege of Kaifeng, and his tone became more and more severe every time.
Governor Sun had no choice but to take the troops of Gao Jie and others out of Tongguan and into the western part of Henan. [.Lots of good]
Because Kaifeng was flooded, central Henan has become a Ze country, and Sun Chuanting Nai had to lead his troops to Nanyang.
On the first day of October, the two armies fought.
Governor Sun and Li Zicheng are old rivals, they have been locked up for a few years, Sun Chuanting is already a little unfamiliar with the current situation, but he is still very familiar with the combat methods of breaking into the army, and he has done more than careful before the war. First, he ordered Niu Chenghu to go out of battle to lure the enemy deeper, and the other departments set up an ambush and took the opportunity to drown.
In the beginning, everything went very well. Niu Chenghu was defeated, and Li Zicheng entered the ambush circle and ran into his old friend, Gao Jie, the current husband of his ex-wife. Gao Jie was also a rare fierce general in the late Ming Dynasty, and he was fierce and fierce. This time, when the enemies saw each other, they were very red-eyed and fought extremely hard. Li Zicheng suffered a little loss, and was defeated and defeated.
Sun Chuanting's army desperately pursued and killed, seeing that Li Zicheng's entire army was about to collapse.
At this time, Li Zicheng used Niu Jinxing's strategy to throw a large number of armor materials along the way.
The Ming army in this era was very poor, especially after the country's financial bankruptcy, and many troops had not received their salaries for a year. Seeing so much property, he didn't care about killing the enemy, and they scrambled one after another, and the team was in chaos.
Unexpectedly, Cao Cao and Luo Rucai suddenly led troops to kill, and the officers and soldiers were caught off guard.
At the same time, Li Zicheng's main force also turned back to kill.
The Ming army is already rotten, how can it be the opponent of the army that has begun to formalize, even Sun Chuanting's main force Gao Jie's department is relatively not so bad
。
As a result, the Ming army was defeated. Except for Gao Jie's department, which still retains a bit of vitality, the rest of the departments are almost all exhausted. The army led by Zuo Liangyu's son, who had come to join Governor Sun, was halfway down the road and ran back to Hubei in fright.
Because of the cut off traffic and poor means of communication, it was already half a month later when Sun Yuan got the news.
He couldn't help but look at Ma Shiying, who looked depressed, with a wry smile: "Governor Ma, it seems that Governor Sun will return to Shaanxi this time, and I am afraid that he will not have the strength to send troops to Henan in the future." By the way, what is Li Zicheng's next plan? ”
"What else could it be?" Ma Shiying was extremely depressed: "It is reported that after the thief army defeated the Shaanxi army, all the departments converged and prepared to fight Runing. ”
In the battle of Zhuxian Town, Sun Chuanting was defeated in Shaanxi, and the Ningxiang Army, Lufeng Army, and Nanjing Army were blocked by the water, and they were all guest troops and would inevitably return to Nanjing. At present, Nanjing is empty of troops, and only Huang Degong and a few thousand men and horses have to defend the vast area of Fengyang, Luzhou, and Nanjing, and Nanzhili is almost equal to no defense. Moreover, now Zhang Xianzhong's army has a tendency to come eastward.
A while ago, Ma Shiying discussed with Sun Yuan, preparing to wait for the Yellow River to break through, and then quickly lead his troops south to Fengyang.
In this way, the current Henan, or the imperial court in the area south of the Yellow River, only Yang Wenyue, the governor of Baoding, who was stationed in Runing, still has some troops, and it will inevitably become Li Zicheng's next target. As long as Yang Wenyue's troops are annihilated, the army will be able to attack Shaanxi without worries.
Runing is the key place, is the southeast gateway of Henan, the east can enter the south Zhili Anhui region, the south can enter the Huguang area. At the same time, he is also the fief of the vassal king, and the king of Chong, Zhu Youjiao, lives in the city, and Li Zicheng is bound to fight.
"It seems that Runing is also going to be finished." Sun Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, Yang Wenyue's army has suffered heavy losses since the Battle of Zhuxian Town, and it has lost its fear, and it can't hold Runing at all." Ma Shiying: "According to the calculation of the day, the army can reach Runing as early as November, and it should be able to take it in December." It's a pity that in this big flood, we can only watch Governor Yang ...... That's it, Taichu, block the Yellow River as soon as possible and go back to Nanjing. Henan, the imperial court has been lost, and Nanjing can no longer be missed. The southeast is an important place of national wealth, and Nanjing still has hope in the country. If Nanjing dies, the Ming Dynasty will come to an end. ”
Sun Yuan nodded: "Governor, don't worry, it's very cold this day, and the Yellow River should be able to freeze by the beginning of December, and we will be able to return to Nanjing by then."
。 ”
"That's good, that's good!" Ma Shiying let out a long breath of white air, his face full of anger.
The snow is falling so heavily, but it's still some time before the day when the dripping water turns to ice.
By mid-November, Liang Mancang came over with Leng Ying and others. He was accompanied by Sun Yuan's son Ah Da and his father-in-law Zhu Xuanshui.
"Liang Mancang came over with a related person?" Sun Yuan asked the people from the detective factory who came to report: "Who is the criminal, can there be empirical evidence?" ”
The man knelt in front of Sun Yuan: "General Yu, I have already obtained a confession and relevant evidence, Leng Ying is a Jinyi guard spy lurking in our army, this point, the Nanjing Military Department has made it very clear." ”
"I know that Leng Ying is Jinyiwei, and I asked a few other officers."
"Back to the general's words, those people have already obtained their confessions, saying that they have taken refuge in Jing Ran and Leng Ying, become their spies, and prepare to investigate the general. When the matter reaches the Nanjing Jinyi Wei Qianhu Office, the general must be identified in front of the three law divisions. ”
"Identifying someone, is it possible?" Sun Yuan was stunned: "They are all old men in the army, how can they be other people's spies." It's strange how much benefit a small brocade clothes thousand households can give them. ”
yes, it doesn't make sense at all.
Sun Yuan vaguely felt that something was wrong with this matter, and thought about it: "Wait a minute, you call Liang Mancang to come over to see so-and-so, by the way, explain to Liang Mancang, don't let the friendly army know about this matter." ”
"Yes, General."
When the man retreated, Sun Yuan touched the beard on his upper lip and thought about it, and then ordered a guard: "Go, send Leng Ying to me, and I will ask him personally." ”
This matter is handled by the people of the Detective Division, and I only listen to them.
Listening to everything is clear, and listening is dark.
Besides, Sun Yuan still has a good impression of Leng Ying. This kid's martial arts are really good, and he is extremely brave in battle, he is a rare warrior, he turned out to be a spy, it's a pity!
