Chapter 23 The Qing Army Enters the Fortress
After a great war, the cottage returned to its former peace, buried the corpses, wiped the bloodstains, and the world seemed to be the same as it was at the beginning!
The captives finally stayed, and although many people in the village did not understand, they still accepted these people who had caused them harm despite Li Ke's repeated insistence. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The county lord of Xianning must have stayed, but the guards of the palace did not dare to stay longer because of the ancestral family law, so they had to leave more than a dozen people to protect the county lord, and then went back to the city to report.
As for the captured bandit weapons, the palace guards naturally didn't look down on them, but Ren Qi's cronies left fifty or sixty good horses, which was very gratifying. So the two families discussed, and divided more than 30 horses on one side.
It is said that these guards returned to Qingzhou to see King Heng and truthfully replied, and King Heng smacked his tongue again and again, and said in his heart: My daughter usually only sees her stubborn, but she never thought that she was so good, but because of the ancestral family law, she couldn't play it truthfully!
It turned out that since Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, it was stipulated that the vassal king and his children could not go out of the city casually, let alone lead troops to suppress bandits. Therefore, King Heng rewarded the guards while informing Qingzhou Mansion, only saying that when his own guards went out on business, he met the giant Kou Ren Qi to attack the Shengjia Village, and under the leadership of the commander Lin Si, he broke it. Qingzhou Mansion listened to the natural joy, while playing the imperial court, while informing the states and counties, for a time Lin Si and Shengjiazhai became famous, and the people in Qingzhou City knew that Lin Si was the lord of the palace, so it was rumored that Lin Si Niangzi broke the bandits, and later generations spread falsehoods, so there was a "Dream of Red Mansions" in the words of "General Auntie"!
All these people in the village naturally don't know, a bloody battle, although there are more than a dozen people killed in the city wall, as for the injured are even more, Sheng Ping comforts the dead, treats the wounded, and is busy for many days. The lord of Xianning County didn't bother when he saw that she had a lot of things, but just pestered Li Ke, shouting that he wanted to go into the mountains to fight tigers, Li Ke had no choice but to accompany her into the mountains to hunt every day, and he didn't see anyone all day long. Lin Yihu led the villagers and the captives, while renovating the wall, and at the same time building houses for those refugees and captives to prepare for the winter!
And so on, days flew by!
In the afternoon of this day, Li Ke and Xianning County Lord were just about to enter the mountain with their guards, but they saw a team of carriages and horses coming from a distance on the path. It turned out that King Heng knew that his baby daughter would not return to the city easily, and he was afraid that she would suffer in the mountains, so he asked people to send some commonly used food and clothing.
With them arrived, there was also unfortunate news, that is, Kaifeng had fallen!
Li Ke sighed when he heard this, this nominal hometown finally did not escape the fate of being destroyed! Of course, even more sad is Sheng Ping! Because Sheng Ping's mother Li is from Kaifeng!
When Shengtai traveled to Kaifeng, Shengping's grandfather admired his talent, so he married his daughter to him, that Shengping's mother was not only beautiful but also talented, Kaifeng City was quite coveted, but in the end it was cheaper for a foreign student, this matter was quite sensational at the time, Qingzhou Mansion people felt that there was light on their faces, so Hengwang and others had also heard of it, which is why Shengping dared to pretend to recognize Li Ke as his cousin! It's just that Shengping's mother died early, Shengtai continued to remarry, and the two families had a lot less contacts. Everyone can only comfort and enlighten, but fortunately, the mother and younger brother are there, and after some comfort, Shengping is better.
As soon as Kaifeng was broken, Henan was full of thieves, and the general trend of the world was even more erosive, and King Heng often felt uneasy after hearing about it, so he asked the escort leader to tell her to play for a few days and go home early, so as not to worry about her parents! The county lord of Xianning finally flew out of the cage, so naturally he would not agree, but he asked the escort leader to bring some prey that he had hunted and returned to the city to present it to King Heng.
Since the city of Kaifeng was broken, the surrounding situation has become more and more tense, and there are often news that large villages have been looted by bandits, Lin Yihu will find Shengping and others to discuss, from the cottage, pick out young and capable people for training, in preparation for the situation, Shengping naturally did not have no answer.
Fortunately, at this time, there was a large population in the cottage, so Lin Yihu picked out more than 200 young villagers from them, plus the captured mountain bandits, gathered 500 of them, divided them into five teams, and trained them according to the art of war they learned in the Qi family's army.
The county lord of Xianning has not seen a big insect in the mountain for many days, and he is a little disappointed in his heart, and then he is interested in training again, and he no longer enters the mountain, but follows Lin Yihu to train everyone every day!
At this time, the Ming Dynasty is in dire straits, the torrent of troubled times, Shengjiazhai is like a leaf boat in this torrent, Li Ke and Shengping and other small people naturally can't control the torrent, they can only desperately control this leaf boat, not to be swallowed by this torrent!
And in their north, a real tide maker in this torrent of history is about to appear!
The fifteenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty and the seven years of Chongde in the Qing Dynasty are watersheds in the absolute sense for the thriving Qing Dynasty!
In April of this year, Huang Taiji led an army of 50,000 to annihilate the main force of the Ming army of 130,000 in a war, the governor Hong Chengchou was captured, the governor Cao Bianjiao was killed in battle, Jinzhou Zu Dashou surrendered, only Wu Sangui led 30,000 horses to flee back to Shanhaiguan, since then the Ming Dynasty, a large country of 10,000 miles, has no soldiers to fight, only to be slaughtered!
In October, after the main force was rested, Huang Taiji was led by Rao Yu Belle Abatai, supplemented by Minister Turge, to lead the elite of the Eight Banners, and broke through the pass from Huangyakou again.
After the Qing army broke through the pass, the first battle of the Hunhe River, the Ming army, the second battle of Jizhou, and then the defeat of Bai Tengjiao, Bai Guangen two general soldiers, for a time Jinggi was shaken, Chongzhen was furious, but so far the Ming Dynasty no longer dared to fight, Chongzhen no longer has the ability to adjust the army!
As a result, the Qing army broke through many county capitals in the north and came straight to Shandong!
