4. Protect Zeng Hualong from entering Beijing
"Brother Li, my father invites you to come over, secret news, we are going to Beijing" Zeng Yingying ran happily, like a little lark flying.
"Oh, why do you want to go to Beijing?" Lee Long asked
"I don't know about this, my father said that he wanted to take me into Beijing, and I said that you should accompany me, and my father agreed, let me come and call you" Ying Ying sat with a grimace and smiled
"Let's go, we're here to get in," said Li Long, who took the lead in walking out of the door
"You wait for me, Brother Li," Zeng Yingying shouted as she chased after her
Before entering the lobby, I heard Zeng Hualong and Yao Guangxiao talking nervously, as if something was wrong. Li Long hurriedly flashed like a hall, clasped his fists and bowed: "Lord Zeng, you called me"
Zeng Hualong saw that Li Long had arrived, and pointed to the low seat next to him and motioned for Li Long to sit down, Li Long was not polite, and the side seat was below.
Zeng Hualong said: "A major event happened today, Li Thief (Li Zicheng) conquered Nanyang, when the general army was as fierce as a tiger and Governor Yang went down to Nanyang together to help Jingzhou, Li Thief stormed Nanyang, the tiger was invincible, and the city was broken and died. And when the news reached Jingshi, His Majesty was furious. The thief arrived in the south of Henan, entered the Central Plains, and went north to Kaifeng, if Kaifeng was broken. The Li thief will definitely come to attack Shandong, and the capital of Shandong is in Yanzhou. Therefore, the governor of Shandong left and received a summons from Jinyiwei, and was ordered to go to the capital to report on his work and discuss countermeasures against the thieves. Because the little girl is naughty, she wants to go to the capital with her father. And the little girl has a deep relationship with you, and the little girl asks you to accompany you,,, are you willing?? ”
Li Long is not stupid, he knows that Shandong will definitely be dangerous on the way to the capital, Zeng Hualong asked himself to follow, on the one hand, he wanted to see how his military talent and adaptability were, and on the other hand, he also wanted to see if Li Long was sincere to Yingying. That's why I found him, a nobody. This is also an opportunity for Li Long to make meritorious contributions, so that he can lead troops in the future.
Li Long immediately knelt down and thanked him and said: "Thank you, Long will definitely live up to his mission, protect Miss, and protect the safety of adults."
Zeng Hualong waved his hand and said, "Hurry up"
"This trip to Beijing is different from the past, now the Tartars are rampant, in Shandong and Hebei there are scattered Tartars, as well as bandits, rogues. I don't know what good plan Li Xian's nephew has? Zeng Hualong asked
Li Long saw Zeng Hualong asking, knowing that this was a test of his military judgment ability, he got up and said, "Please look at a map."
The subordinate immediately brought a pair of the latest military maps at that time, and Li Long spread the map on the case and said carefully: "Enxiang, this is going to Beijing, not far away, I need to pass through Jinan Mansion, Hejian Mansion, and Baoding Mansion to Beijing Division." The number of these three prefectures is the most fierce in Baoding Mansion and the most fierce in Hejian Mansion and the bandits and robbers in Hejian Mansion, no matter which road they take, they have to fight with the bandits, the rogues and the Tartars. Bandits, rogues, tartars. Of these three forces, the Tartars are the strongest. The bandits are not worth mentioning. Therefore, it is best for us to avoid the Tartars when we go to Beijing, so we set out from Yanzhou Mansion to Jinan Mansion and replenish our supplies in Hejian Mansion. When I arrived at Hejian Mansion, I took a boat to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and went north to Tianjin Wei. When I arrived in Tianjin, I was safe. When you come back. We set off from Beijing to Tianjin Wei, enter the sea and take the sea route to Weihaiwei...... From Weihaiwei to Yanzhou Mansion. ”
After listening to Li Long's complaint, Zeng Hualong felt that it was also very reasonable, and politely asked Yao Guangxiao, Yao Zhifu, what do you think. If there is no objection, let's implement this phalanx.
Zeng Hualong didn't give Yao Guangxiao a chance to speak, so he ordered: "Li Long, you go back and prepare, General Hu Hui ......"
A big man with a beard on his face stood up and hugged his fists and said, "The last general"
Zeng Hualong ordered: "Order you to lead 500 troops to follow the general, go"
There was nothing to say that day, and after Li Long went back, he sorted out a set of equipment that he needed, body armor, leg guards, chest guards, and helmets. 95 automatic rifles and pistols. A Swiss Army knife in your boots. The GPS positioning system is crammed into the backpack. Li Long knew that this journey must be extremely dangerous, and he must be fully prepared.
A group of people and horses set out from Yanzhou Mansion, marched northward, passed through Wuding Prefecture of Jinan Prefecture, entered the territory of Hebei, and after reaching Hejian Mansion, then went straight north, and entered the territory of Shuntian Mansion through Baoding.
The places that passed along the way were all areas that had been plundered by the Qing army, and it was less than a month before the Qing army had just withdrawn, and many of the places that should have been villages, towns, and shops were rarely inhabited, the houses and fields were all in ruins, and the bones of the people could be seen everywhere, and from time to time you could also see jackals and wild dogs, scurrying around, gnawing on the bones, which was terrifying.
In the places close to the capital of Ayutthaya, although there will be slightly more people, the vast majority of them are displaced people, or groups of three or five, or dozens of people, dressed in hundreds of knotted clothes, covered with wind and dust, or aimlessly drifting with the tide, or lying motionless on the side of the road. All of them were dumbfounded, weak, and lifeless. Sometimes in order to grab a little food, it will cause a group of people to tear and roll. Many people even began to eat the corpses that had fallen on the side of the road. The state is so miserable that people can't bear to witness.
After Zeng Yingying followed her for a few days, everywhere she went, she saw such a miserable scene, and everyone's mood gradually became heavy. Yingying couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and hid in the car every day and didn't come out. The others were also silent and very quiet all the way. Even Zeng Hualong sighed again and again.
Li Long couldn't help but say: "I thought that the situation in our Yanzhou was miserable enough, and I know that compared to these places, our Yanzhou is really very good." ”
On this day, a group of officers and soldiers passed through a small town, broken doors and window frames, broken tables, chairs and furniture, shattered jar remains, fragments of clothes and cloth piled up all over the road, everywhere you could see the corpses of the townspeople lying on all sides, and all of them were stained with blood, on both sides of the street that was not very wide, there were almost rubble and ruins one by one, towering ruins and broken walls and bursts of black smoke, the whole town had become a mess. Standing at the intersection of the town, the group looked at each other, Zeng Yingying lowered her head and couldn't bear to look at it anymore. Zeng Hualong wiped a handful of cold sweat and muttered: "This is the thief of Jianzhou, how did this town become like this." ”
Li Long walked over, looked through the corpses of several townspeople, and then went to the ruins, grabbed a handful of cigarette ash, and sniffed it. Only then did he come back and say: "This town has not been killed for a long time, at most it happened yesterday. Look like this, probably the robbers did it. ”
Zeng Hualong didn't pay attention for a while, and said, "What should we do?" Let's go right away, and avoid it if you can. ”
Li Long shook his head and said, "If the robbers plan to live here, they won't destroy this town." It is because they know that this town has been destroyed that they will not come back. Therefore, it is safe to respond here for the time being. And we are all very tired from the journey, go to the town to find a place to rest, eat a little dry food, so that even if we meet robbers again, our army of 500 people, are you still afraid of a few thieves? . ”
Everyone listened to what he said, so they all went into the town together, and found a house that had not been burned down, and although it was also turned into a mess, it was also possible to rest. And the people rested here for the time being. Li Long walked around the town again, searched with infrared scanning, and actually found more than a dozen survivors, and Li Long brought them back. There are also a few people who know Zeng Hualong.
Although I know that at this time in history, the Ming court is dying. The world is in turmoil, because it is in the area north of the Yangtze River, the two peasant armies headed by Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are wandering around, the Ming court has repeatedly suppressed, Li Zicheng's troops are a little better, and sometimes they will restrain the troops and win the hearts of the people. And Zhang Xianzhong's troops had almost no discipline at all, and they were killed everywhere they went, and the officers and soldiers who suppressed the thieves were no better than them, and the most unlucky ones were still ordinary people. The town in front of you is probably a microcosm of the current situation.
Zeng Hualong saw that Li Long was fascinated, so he asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Li Long came to his senses and said, "It's nothing, I ......"
As he was talking, he suddenly heard a commotion outside, with shouts and footsteps. The dozen or so surviving villagers were already frightened birds, and they were immediately shocked, and someone exclaimed, "Did the robbers kill them again?" ”
Li Long was also taken aback, was it difficult that his judgment was wrong? The robbers are back. Hurriedly took out the GPS and scanned it with infrared rays, showing that there were only 1,600 people. Li Long gasped. Although his own equipment can only scan a range of 3,500 meters, it can at least show that the bandits of the brigade are still a certain distance away from here, and it is indeed not easy for 500 officers and men to deal with 1,600 bandits, but fortunately they have automatic weapons in their hands. But the ammunition is not enough to kill so many enemies, and it is said that such bullets cannot be replenished in this era. It's better to save some money.
The sound of horses' hooves approached little by little. 、
