Chapter 137: Liu Zeqing's conditions

Li Dingguo was looking for the leader of the official army to shoot him, and found that An Youde was directing a breakthrough, so he took out a long arrow and aimed at An Youde with a bow

After looking at it for a while, he let go of his hand, and the long arrow whistled away, right in the middle of the door, and came out through his brain

With a scream of "ah", An Youde fell to the ground and died. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Your heads are dead, lay down your swords and guns, and spare you from death." Li Dingguo shouted.

The officers and soldiers who were running around in the encirclement listened to Li Dingguo's words and looked around in disbelief

Finally, someone saw An Youde who fell to the ground, hesitated, dropped his sword and gun, and knelt down to surrender.

Shen Yuming was outside the valley, listening to the fading shouts and killing inside, knowing that something was wrong, and quickly fled with the soldiers. When Li Dingguo and the others chased them out, Shen Yuming had already run away.

"Damn, it's pretty fast." Li Dingguo said stupidly.

With the power of victory, Zhang Xianzhong killed Dawu Mountain and waved his troops to Nanyang, Wang Jiazhen was so frightened that his soul was scattered, and he hurriedly deployed heavy troops to defend Nanyang.

Seeing this, Zhang Xianzhong shook a shot and led the team to Junzhou, Hubei.

Waiting left and right, I didn't see Zhang Xianzhong coming to attack Nanyang, Wang Jiazhen knew that he had been fooled, so he had no choice but to order all the officers and soldiers to return to the station.

ran away in vain, wasting a lot of money and food, and the generals were very unhappy.

Looking at the disgruntled subordinates, Wang Jiazhen had no choice but to appease him with good words and send food to Yin. Looking at the faces of the silver and grain and grass, everyone finally had a little smile.

After this battle, everyone knew that Wang Jiazhen was an incompetent governor, and the idea of looking down on him had arisen.

Looking at the contemptuous gaze of the generals when they left, Wang Jiazhen finally knew that the governors of these five provinces were not so easy to do. At this time, he regretted coming to Nanyang a little.

Liu Xiaohu sent someone to ask about the army outside the city, which was the Ming Loyal and Brave Corps, and then went back to Binzhou to find Liu Zeqing to complain.

Binzhou is located in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, the Lubei Plain, at the tail end of the Yellow River Delta, bordering the Bohai Sea in the north, Dongying City in the east, Zibo City in the south, and Dezhou City and Jinan City in the west, which is the north gate of Shandong.

A few months ago, in order to prevent the Tartars from moving south, Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Shandong, was stationed in Binzhou on the order of Governor Yan Jizu.

Liu Zeqing, the word Hezhou, a native of Cao County, Shandong, was born in the army, in the early years was the vanguard garrison of Liaodongning, and later moved to the capital of Shandong, Chongzhen was promoted to the general army of Shandong in six years. When the Dashun army approached Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen ordered him to lead his troops to quickly enter the Weijing Division, but he lied that he was injured by falling from his horse and refused to obey the edict. Soon the Dashun army entered Shandong, and he led the main force to flee south to Huai'an.

When fleeing from Shandong, he plundered Yangzhou and Guabu (now Liuhenan, Jiangsu, and the north bank of the Yangtze River), killing countless people, and looting villages in Huai'an.

After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiang, the king of Fu, ascended the throne in the south of the Yangtze River, and was named Dongpingbo, and was called the four towns of Jiangbei with Liu Liangzuo, Gao Jie, and Huang Degong.

In the second year of Shunzhi (1645), the Qing army moved south, Liu Zeqing surrendered, and the Qing court hated him for his capriciousness and hanged him.

"You say, you were beaten by the so-called Loyal Warriors, right?" Liu Zeqing listened to Liu Xiaohu's cry, suppressed his anger, and asked with a glare at the poisonous snake's eyes.

Liu Xiaohu covered his still slightly swollen face and said, "Yes." I inquired and found out that they had been outside of Texas for three or four days, and they might be gone in a day or two. Uncle, you have to make decisions for me."

Liu Ze has a white face and red lips, beautiful appearance, can read and write poetry, is quite elegant, but has a fierce temperament, and he will be repaid.

The general Liu Konghe looked down on the poems he made and said a demeaning joke, so he found an excuse to behead him, and the 2,000 people in his department were not convinced, and he actually killed all the 2,000 people, without missing a single person.

Liu Zeqing has a former residence, which is empty and uninhabited. Once, more than a dozen Xiucai borrowed it to drink, because they found a woman's brocade shoes upstairs, and laughed and sarcastic. After this incident, Liu Zeqing knew about it, and he killed all of them.

Liu Zeqing had a discord with his cousin and sent someone to kill the cousin, and the cousin pleaded with his mother, but he pretended to be reconciled, but in fact sent someone to kill the cousin on the way back. ”

From the above, it can be seen that he is hateful, vicious, domineering and greedy. How can such a person endure the bullying of others.

Listening to Liu Xiaohu's words, Liu Zeqing's poisonous snake eyes gurgled and turned......

walked back and forth in the house a few times before he said: "It is rumored that Zheng Longfang and Yao Wenchang will see me in the future." ”

These two people are Liu Zeqing's subordinates, and if there is anything inconvenient for Liu Zeqing to come forward, these two people will come forward instead of him.

After Zheng Longfang and Yao Wenchang received the order, they immediately followed the herald to the General Soldier's Mansion.

"The last general has seen the commander-in-chief." When they arrived at the Shuai Mansion and saw Liu Zeqing, the two hurriedly bowed down to salute.

The two of them came quickly, which showed their loyalty to themselves, Liu Zeqing was very satisfied, he said with a smile: "Two generals, this official has a private matter that you need to do, I think that with the ability of the two of you, it will definitely be done." ”

"Liu Shuai, say it. We listen to you. Zheng Longfang said.

Yao Wenchang said: "Commander-in-chief, you command, go up to the Sword Mountain, go down to the sea of fire, and never frown at your humble position."

"That's the case, Xiaohu went to Texas to play, and was beaten by a group of passing militias, you look at his face, these militias are not beating Xiaohu, they are hitting my Shandong Town's face, if we don't find a field for him, how will we mix in Shandong in the future? Who will still put our Shandong town in their eyes in the future. Liu Zeqing gritted his teeth and said.

Zheng Longfang and Yao Wenchang listened, and then looked at Liu Xiaohu's still very red and swollen face, the two were very surprised, they couldn't think of why this militia group would dare to hit Liu Zeqing's nephew so boldly.

In Shandong, Liu Zeqing's ferocity and retribution are well known.

Looking at Liu Xiaohu, Zheng Longfang said: "Our Shandong town must not allow outsiders to bully, slapping Xiaohu's face is slapping our Shandong Town's face, we must retaliate, Liu Shuai, what do you say, we listen to you." ”

"Yes, we listen to the commander-in-chief, what you say, we will do." Yao Wenchang said.

Nodding with satisfaction, Liu Zeqing said: "What the two generals said is that although the other party is a militia group, it is also an army, and it is not easy for us to come hard, so I plan to salute first and then end this matter." ”

"Salute before soldiers?" Zheng Longfang and Yao Wenchang looked at Liu Zeqing puzzled.

The two of them wondered what they meant.

Seeing the bewildered appearance of the two, Liu Zeqing said: "What I mean is that I will send the two of you to Texas first, and the commander of the Dezhou Wei and the prefect Hua Runze will come forward, and let the militia hand over the murderer of the beater, and then compensate 1,000 taels of silver, if they agree to this condition, the matter will be over, if you don't agree, then don't blame me for being unkind." ”

"Oh. I see. Liu Shuai rest assured. Our brothers must do this well, thinking that it is a small non-local militia group, and they dare not go against Liu Shuai. Zheng Longfang said confidently.

Yao Wenchang smiled and said: "I hope this foreign militia knows each other, otherwise, Lao Tzu will lead the troops to destroy them." ”

"Good. I'll just listen to the two good news. Liu Zeqing said with a smile.

The two of them took their leave of the General Military Mansion, took a few retinues, and flew to Texas.

In the Imperial Palace, Chongzhen and the ministers are discussing the candidate for the secretary of the Ministry of War, Chongzhen said: "Since Zhang Fengyi committed suicide in fear of crime, no one is responsible for many things in the Ministry of War, at this difficult time for the country, the Ming Dynasty needs a new secretary of the Ministry of War, last time Liu Yuliang, the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials, recommended Yang Sichang to be the secretary of the Ministry of War, because Yang Sichang Ding is worried at home, can not serve, I don't know what other candidates Zhong Aiqing has?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister still recommends Yang Sichang to be the secretary of the military department." Liu Yuliang bowed and said.

Glancing at him, Xue Guoguan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said: "Lord Liu, according to the etiquette system, during the reign of a court official, if his parents die, no matter what official position the person has, from the day he learns of the funeral, he must resign and return to his ancestral hometown, and keep the system for his parents for 27 months. Don't you know these regulations? Yang Sichang Ding Wei has been worried for less than a year, and you have recommended him for official positions twice, I don't know what the purpose is? ”

"Lord Xue, Zi said: Sister-in-law is in power, etiquette is important, but national affairs are more important, things must be prioritized, the situation of the curtain wall, people like Yang Sichang need to come out to provoke the beam of the military department, I recommend Yang Sichang has no selfish intentions, please Lord Xue don't treat others with himself." Liu Yuliang said impassionedly.

Hou Sui, the head of the household department, also bowed to the class: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that what Liu Xue and the two adults said is reasonable, and there is nothing wrong with it, but the military department Shangshu really cannot be vacant for a long time, and the old minister suggested that Yang Sichang can be used to win affection, so that you can have the best of both worlds." ”

"Ding Wei, the country's etiquette system, the military revolution, the country's major affairs, but the country's non-existence, the etiquette will be attached, therefore, the minister agrees with Lord Hou's opinion." Wu Fu bowed and said.

Zhang Sizhi, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, also bowed and said: "The minister also seconded the opinions of the two lords, Hou and Wu. ”

Chongzhen was also thinking about using Yang Sichang to win the favor in his heart, but he was afraid that his subordinates would have opinions, and now he listened to the opinions of the three important ministers, and he was in the middle of it, so he no longer hesitated, and said loudly: "Spread the decree to Wuling County, Changde Prefecture, to restore Yang Sichang and make him the secretary of the military department, and Qin this." ”

"Your Majesty." The loyal ministers bowed in unison.

Bingzhou and Dezhou are close neighbors, Zheng Longfang and Yao Wenchang are riding horses, two hours later, the two arrived in Dezhou, entered Dezhou Wei, and told Qi Xinren Liu Zeqing's request.

Qi Xinren had heard his subordinates talk about Liu Xiaohu, and he knew Liu Zeqing's personality too well.

This person is a tyrant in Shandong, relying on the fifteen thousand soldiers in his hands, flying and domineering, even the governor Yan Jizu wants to give him three points, his nephew was beaten, and if he doesn't retaliate, it won't be Liu Zeqing.

was brave for the loyal team, and when he saw that Liu Zeqing had sent someone to come, he knew that this matter was troublesome.

After listening to Liu Zeqing's request, he didn't dare to slack off, and after settling the two, he hurriedly went to the prefect Hua Runze to discuss.

After listening to Qi Xinren's narration, Hua Runze pondered.
