Chapter 75 Governors of the Five Provinces

Slay the Dragon Emperor!

As soon as the news reached the Beijing Division, everyone was shocked, but everyone knew that this so-called Dragon Slaying Heavenly Son was the leader of the Dragon Slaying Gang.

Carpenter Zhu was inevitably angry, and as soon as possible, he held an emergency meeting again to discuss the suppression of bandits. The situation in Shanxi is similar to that in Shandong, and there are also many vacancies in the local government, although they have just been filled, but before they have time to take office, some people have rebelled.

Fortunately, there is a town on the border of Datong in Shanxi, and the rebels did not dare to fight on the Taiyuan side, but they heard that some rebels were marching towards Shaanxi.

After some discussion, it was finally decided that Cui Jingrong, the governor of Xuanda, and Liu Cehui, the governor of Shanxi, should be ordered to exterminate the rebels in Shanxi, and Sun Juxiang, the governor of Shaanxi, would be responsible for exterminating the rebels who had entered Shaanxi.

After the will was conveyed, for two months, regardless of whether it was Shanxi or Shaanxi, there was no achievement, and the report of defeat that was introduced to Beijing was a report of defeat, either a county today or a government tomorrow.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and there was a report of defeat in Liaodong, and Ma Shilong, the general manager of Shanhaiguan, misheard the words of Liu Bokeng, who "surrendered prisoners", and attacked Yaozhou, but the result was ambushed on the way, and the casualties were painful. There was also a large loss of horses, armor, and supplies.

The emperor's patience is limited, and he always loses the battle, where can he stand it. As a result, a second emergency meeting was convened to discuss how to wipe out the rebels as soon as possible, and to take measures against Ma Shilong, the general commander of Liaodong.

It was a matter to deal with Ma Shilong, but on the day of the court meeting, he sent a resignation letter, implying that he wanted to blame Zhishi. If he dies, who else in the court can be the governor of Jiliao, the real horse will be retained, as for Ma Shilong, the dismissal is certain, but who to send to take over the Shanhaiguan general is also worrying.

After a discussion, Carpenter Zhu showed his trust in himself and issued a decree for Sun Chengzong to be recommended among the generals of Liaodong. In this way, it is expected that Mr. Sun will not resign.

As soon as this matter was over, they discussed the matter of the rebels of the Dragon Slaying Gang. No one expected that Yue Su suddenly stood up and took the initiative to ask Ying, hinting that he was going to Shanxi Ping.

There are really few people in the DPRK and China who can fight and suppress the situation, and Yue Su is an extremely suitable candidate. He actually didn't want to leave Beijing, and now no one could go out like him, so why didn't he want to kill the Dragon Gang so domineering and make trouble like this again.

Seeing that Lord Yue took the initiative to go, how could the eunuchs stop him, and he couldn't wait for him to leave now. Wei Zhongxian gave Gu Bingqian a look, and Gu Shoufu immediately stood up, first praising Yue Su, and then strongly supporting Yue Su to go to Shanxi Ping.

Then everything was logical, and the eunuch officials hinted one after another, supporting Lord Yue, because it was Yue Su who took the initiative to ask for help, and Fang Congzhe couldn't stop him if he wanted to. Zhu Youxiao hesitated, he really refused to let Yue Su leave now, but compared to Jiangshan Sheji, everything was secondary. So, he made a decision - accurate!

"Yue Aiqing listens to the order!"

"Chen Yue Su takes the order!"

"Now Feng Yuesu is the governor of Shaanxi, Sichuan, Shanxi, Shandong, and Henan provinces, rewarding Fang Baojian, controlling officials in Shaanxi, Sichuan, Shanxi, Shandong, and Henan provinces, and supervising and suppressing bandits! You can cut it first and then act cheaply! Zhu Youxiao was in the Golden Palace and said loudly.

"Thank you, Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

Yue Su is now a cabinet minister, the secretary of the criminal department, and these positions are released from the outside, and it is really unseemly to be a governor, a little too much, so he can only be crowned as a governor.

After Yue Su thanked him, he said again: "Emperor Qiyu, at present, there is a shortage of major generals in the court, and it is the time to employ people, and this year is the year of the martial arts examination, and many martial arts people come to take the examination. ”

He sent troops to Shanxi this time, and it was really useless, and if he didn't summon some martial artists, how could he fight on the battlefield. At his suggestion, Carpenter Zhu immediately played it, and issued another order, transferred 20,000 horses, and accompanied Yue Su out of Beijing and went to Shanxi.

Lord Yue was actually ready to go out of Beijing to suppress the bandits, received the decree again, and begged the emperor for mercy, wanting to bring the remaining two red-clothed cannons in Beijing with him. How could the emperor forbid this.

Everything was ready, and Yue Su gathered his men and horses the next day, and took the new Kewu people and the red-coated cannon to Shanxi. This time, he was accompanied by Jin Chan, Tong Xuan, Tie Qiu, Li Haoquan, Li Zhong, Zhou Meng, Wang Yuanhua, Jiang Jie, and Wu Jiaxing.

The female dependents did not bring any of them, and all of them were set up in the mansion of Shangshu of the Criminal Department, but the result was to go to Bingge, and it was really inconvenient to go to the army.

When I came to Shanxi, it was autumn, and the order had already been conveyed, and the Shanxi generals should lead their troops to Taiyuan to converge, and if there was any neglect, they would be killed.

As soon as he arrived in Taiyuan, there was a sea of people outside Taiyuan City.

Yue Su did not enter the city, but camped on the spot, and ordered a cadre of generals to rush to the governor to do something. In a few moments, the generals of the various armies rushed to Yue Su one by one, asking for military equipment. A total of 50,000 Rong horses have arrived here, and a total of 70,000 brought by Yue Su, so many people, if even the rebels of the Dragon Slaying Gang can't be pacified, Yue Su thought to himself, just kill your head.

However, he was not as careless as Xiong Tingbi, after the army was reorganized, he issued a military order, what three prohibitions and five four beheadings are familiar with all armies, if there is a violation, he will not be pardoned. followed, sent troops straight to Lu'an Mansion.

A few days later, the army came to Lu'an, and the quality of the Dragon Slaying Gang was obviously much stronger than that of the White Lotus Sect. According to the report of Liu Ce, the governor of Shanxi, he sent troops to attack twice, but failed to conquer it.

Yue Su now has 70,000 troops, how to put Lu'an Mansion in his eyes, ordered Lu'an to be surrounded, and there are 10,000 Rong horses stationed at the east, south, and west gates.

If you want to have fewer soldiers and fewer deaths, the offensive must be strong, Yue Su brought red-coated cannons from Beijing, as well as arrow towers to rush cars, and the arrow towers and cannons on this side of Shanxi were also transported, but the caliber was better than the red-coated cannons.

More than three cannons were placed in the first place, the arrow tower was behind, and the horses were last. Properly placed, Yue Su ordered the cannon to be fired, where have the rebels seen this, "boom" a cannon, and the rebels guarding the city will be bombarded with seven meat vegetables.

Large iron balls smashed the bricks and tiles of the city wall into the air, and even if the battlements were hidden, there was a possibility of being stoned to death. Three or four cannons each fired four cannons, which is more than a hundred cannons, and when the cannons stopped, and then looked into the city, there was not even a head.

Lord Yue did not immediately take the opportunity to attack the city, but pushed the arrow tower away, stopped at a position where he could reach the city wall, and shot the arrow.

This is a cannon, and a bow and arrow, and the rebels guarding the city are powerless, especially this red-clothed cannon, which is purely imported from the Netherlands, and its power is amazing.

At that time, the cannon could fire a cannon in two minutes, which was already a mass multiplication, and it was a bit of a nonsense for the cavalry, but when defending and attacking the city, it could reflect its power. And now, the enemy is outnumbered, the rebels don't dare to go out inside, and the power of the cannon is even more unfolded.

After an hour of shelling and arrow tower killing, the city wall has been cut out of two gaps, and there is no living mouth in the city wall except for the corpse. In such a dangerous place, who would dare to stay except for the dead.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Yue Su ordered the siege of the city, and the flat ground clashed, 40,000 against 5,000, and it was simply impossible to fight. The combat effectiveness of other officers and soldiers is not strong, but among the rebels, only a small number of them are backbones, and the rest are common people, so their combat effectiveness is naturally not much stronger.

After half a day of street fighting in the city, the rebels were basically wiped out, although some fled to civilian houses and surrendered.

Yue Su put up a list to calm the people, let the people in the city report and expose, as long as the traitors are handed over, there will be rewards, if they dare to be biased, they will be punished according to the crime of gangsters, and there will be no forgiveness for killing.

For the rebels who surrendered, Yue Su did not use the Huairou policy, regardless of whether you were an ordinary person or not, but anyone who accompanied the traitors would be killed!

He doesn't care what the killing and surrender is ominous, when he was the prefect of Tongren, he had already killed a lot of rebels who surrendered, and he still sent you. If you don't kill today, the other place, the rebellious people, must be lucky, and contend with the officials and soldiers first, and when they see that they can't resist, they will surrender. In the world, how can there be so many good things, it may work in front of others, but in front of Lord Yue, it is a fantasy.

After taking Lu'an, Yue Su rested for three days, and the Rong horse drove to Pingyang Mansion, and the rebels in Pingyang fled as early as the third day when Yue Su's army took Lu'an. 'Yue shaves his head' is too ruthless, you have to be killed if you surrender, who will play with you."

easily took the two mansions of Lu'an and Pingyang, and Yue Su sent people back to Beijing to report the victory, although he also had to do some favoritism, recommending Jin Chan, Tong Zhou, Tie Qiu, and Wu Jia Province as guerrilla generals; Li Zhong, Tuesday Meng, and Wang Yuan turned into generals; Jiang Jie, who accompanied him, was transferred from Shandong, and he was promoted to guerrilla general.

The positions below the rank of general are actually not high, and the basic governor will be allowed as soon as he reports it, not to mention that it is submitted by Lord Yue, so naturally there is no suspense.

Next, Lord Yue was not idle, and sent troops to recover all the counties occupied by the rebels around Lu'an and Pingyang. The rebels there also fled, but they took away all the property and food in the city, and looted the common people with their feet, so that the common people had no surplus food.

When Lord Yue learned of this news, he could only send military rations to help him and urge him to send food to Beijing. Yes, how can there be no soldiers without grain and grass, and the army must not continue to march towards Shaanxi.

On the side of the imperial court, there was no shortage of silver, and almost 10 million taels of silver were copied from Wei Guangwei and other officials' mansions, not counting jewelry, antiques and other things. But there is really not much food, Xiong Tingbi sent troops to take away a lot, Yue Su sent troops and took some away, how can there be tools. This is Yue Su, the emperor has to help find a way, it doesn't matter if there is no food, let's take the silver to offset it, you just buy food over there. Carpenter Zhu immediately issued an order to transfer one million taels of silver, send it to the front line, and hand it over to Yue Su.

However, no one expected that after the million taels of silver left Beijing, there would be a mistake.
