Chapter 459: King vs. King of Armageddon
Zhu Cihong drove the expedition in person, and brought a total of more than 30,000 Beijing battalions, which seems to be a lot of people, but the combat effectiveness is hehe, this time the decisive battle, Gu Zhenhua did not send them at all.
was left aside, but these guys were not willing to be lonely, and all the generals were full of complaints.
General Xu Cong is the descendant of Xu Da, the number one hero of the founding of the country, and he said unevenly: "We are the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and most of the brothers have been loyal to the court for generations and are loyal to His Majesty. What is the Anguo Army, it has only been a few years since its ascent, why is the military salary higher than ours! ”
"Not only are the salaries of the army more than ours, but all their military uniforms are tweed, and they divide the fields and land, reduce taxes, and one man becomes a soldier, and the whole family enjoys happiness, and our brothers have never had this blessing!"
More than a dozen generals present complained, Zhou Deshun saw them like this, he was secretly happy in his heart, and he sneered: "Brothers, don't complain, after a while, maybe we don't have to eat the salary of the imperial court, and we can return to the field!" ”
"Ahh Xu Cong asked in surprise, "Brother Zhou, have you heard any news?" ”
"Isn't it the Zhongzhou pulpit! Huang Zongxi made a high statement a few days ago, he advocated the abolition of the inner court, the dissolution of 100,000 eunuchs, the inspection power of the Jinyi Weidong Factory was transferred to the cabinet, and the Beijing camp was merged into the Anguo Army to form the Ming Anguo Army! ”
"What!"
Everyone was stunned by this exciting news, Xu Cong suddenly stood up and said fiercely: "What do they want to do, do they want to swallow Jingying?" So what should we do, what should the emperor do! ”
"These bastards without kings and fathers are simply too deceitful. We won't say yes! ”
"Yes, they are going to cut off the hands and feet of the Holy One, and their intentions are so vicious. How insidious. The tens of thousands of brothers in our Beijing camp must definitely fight to the death! ”
These military leaders were noisy and noisy, and they wanted to puff up the lids, but there were also more timid and cautious, and Chang Wangui, a guerrilla sitting by the door, said: "Everyone, just saying that from the Zhongzhou Forum, I don't think it will be like this, take a step back." Even if Gu Zhenhua does this, what tricks do we have! ”
Zhou Deshun finally fanned the fire when he saw it, how could he let it go. sneered: "Brother Chang, what's going on in the Zhongzhou Forum, everyone knows it, Gu Zhenhua is borrowing the mouths of a bunch of literati. We want to rob the Holy One. We are in the camp. Most of them are after the honor, the emperor is unlucky, and we are not happy. Instead of being choked by someone's neck, it's better to fight hard, maybe there is a glimmer of life! ”
After he said this, Xu Cong and the others lowered their heads and carefully searched for death, for a long time. Xu Cong stood up and gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Zhou." Not only for the emperor, but even for ourselves, we can no longer be shrunken turtles, if we wait until Gu Zhenhua defeats Dolgon, we will really die without a place to be buried! ”
……
"Listen, the people in the city, I am Xu Cong, the deputy general of the Beijing camp, I have been ordered by the peak to enter the city, you open the door quickly!"
Ban Yan poked a head out of the city and asked, "Shangfeng, who is it?" ”
"Nonsense, we are doing things in Beijing, do we still need to report to you, hurry up and open the city, be careful that we treat you as a traitor!"
The soldiers in the city smiled slightly and said, "What a great majesty, I think you are the traitors, give the head!" ”
Suddenly, more than a dozen firearms poked out from the city gate tower, aimed at the people under the city, and opened fire unceremoniously. Xu Cong's reaction was quite fast, and he even crawled behind the horse's buttocks, and as a result, all five or six family members around him died.
"Kill someone, hurry, siege the city!"
"Jingying rebellion, don't count killing!"
As the guns rang out, the battle ignited instantly, and there were more than 10,000 horses in the Beijing camp, surging in, and the soldiers defending the city were less than 500 people, but all of them were elites, and they were inextricably killed for a while.
The sound of guns and cannons, shouts of killing, quickly resounded in the night sky, and the people of Kaifeng, who had been calm for a long time, once again withstood the threat of war.
"Xiaguan Jingying guerrilla Chang Wangui, meet the princess!"
The red lady glanced at the guy in front of the horse and smiled slightly: "Operated?" Aren't you going to rebel? ”
When Chang Wangui heard this, he hurriedly bowed down, kowtowed and said: "Princess, tens of thousands of people in Beijing, most of the brothers are trying to be stable, His Royal Highness the King of Liao has brilliant military exploits, and we admire it from the bottom of our hearts." The villain doesn't understand any big truth, he knows that the bird flies away with the Luan Feng, and only by following the prince and listening to the words of the prince can there be a way out! ”
The red lady smiled slightly: "Well said, then let me ask you, how many soldiers are in the rebellion, who is the leader, and why is the rebellion?" ”
"Princess Qiyu, there are more than 10,000 people who participated in the rebellion, led by Xu Cong and Zhou Deshun, the villain accidentally visited Zhou Deshun a few days ago, and met two businessmen, sneaky, one of them turned out to be a little like Zhou Deshun's brother Zhou Deshan, he had surrendered to the Tartars three years ago, I, I thought that there was a Tartar instigation in this rebellion!"
"Well, you're shrewd, so what strategy do you have to put down the rebellion?"
When Chang Wangui heard this, he almost came, and he hurriedly said: "Princess Qiyu, there are one or two thousand people under your humble command, and you can also contact a few brothers who are willing to serve Your Highness." As long as there are 200,000 taels of military salaries, you can organize an army of 5,000 people, and then cooperate with the men and horses in the city to ensure that you can annihilate the rebellious enemy with one body! ”
When the red lady heard this, she laughed secretly in her heart, after all, this Chang Wangui is an opportunist who wants to take the opportunity to extort a sum of money. But he miscalculated, and he underestimated An Guojun too much, and underestimated her red lady too much!
"The Beijing camp lacks food and salary, the emperor is not bad soldiers, there are still 100,000 troops hidden in this Kaifeng city, and there is no need to worry about rebellion!"
100,000 troops!
Chang Wangui suddenly seemed to have heard the most funny joke, bragging is not such a boast, Gu Zhenhua personally recruited, he had already set out in the nest, Kaifeng was empty, where to get out of 100,000 troops, isn't this a deception!
Could it be that Gu Zhenhua didn't leave, just to dig a big pit for Jingying? When he said this, he didn't believe it himself!
Just when Chang Wangui was confused, suddenly there was a sound of neat footsteps on the cement street, and it seemed that hundreds of people ran over and came to the front in a blink of an eye.
"Princess Qiqi. Kaifeng carriage and horses, 1,300 bodyguards and coachmen have all assembled, waiting for the princess's order! ”
Chang Wangui was taken aback. He hurriedly looked at it, and saw all the strong men, standing like a line, all full of energy, if it weren't for the black groom clothes, he couldn't tell the difference, it seemed to be more elite than Jingying!
didn't wait for Chang Wangui to finish reading. There were more and more footsteps on both sides of the street, and countless teams held torches, like dragons of fire.
"Princess Qiqi. 753 craftsmen of the furniture factory have been assembled! ”
"Three thousand five hundred militia apprentices in the arsenal are waiting to be dispatched!"
"Quarry, all six hundred and thirteen absentees have arrived!
……
Groups of people, more and more. In the end. Wu Shouye personally arrived with more than 300 female textile workers. Chang Wangui was dumbfounded, do you still need women to fight?
"Princess Qiyu, these female workers have experience in dealing with work-related injuries and are willing to serve the Anguo Army!"
The red lady looked at these workers and nodded meaningfully. Today, it is not Gu Zhenhua's credit to be able to mobilize so much manpower, he supported industry and commerce early and changed the workshop model. Train workers.
After several years of hard work, it has blossomed and borne fruit. The organization and mobilization ability of industrial workers in the new era is the source of Gu Zhenhua's confidence!
Tens of thousands of workers, with a little organization and training, can become a strong source of soldiers, what was impossible in the agricultural age, but in the industrial age is extremely easy, this is the power of civilization.
Witnessing this qiē, who can not be surging in their hearts, especially the man who created this miracle, is even more excited and glorious than himself!
The red lady barely calmed down and said loudly: "Listen, everyone, the rebels stormed Dongcheng, and the workers of the arsenal and mines immediately went to help Dongcheng, and the others scattered to guard the city gates. Wu Shouye, you take all the female workers to do a good job of supporting and treating the wounded at any time! ”
"Yes!"
The men received the order, immediately turned around and left, and the huge team quickly disappeared. Not only the city gates, but also the neighborhoods, the chief of the li, the soap and the soap, they all went out to appease the people and arrest those who wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob.
Kaifeng, which is usually prosperous, once mobilized, is a copper gang with an iron bottom and an impregnable fortress! Not to mention a mere rebel, even if Dolgon kills in front of him, he will have to break his head!
The red lady was satisfied and was about to go to Dongcheng to supervise the battle, Chang Wangui suddenly weakened his legs and knelt heavily in front of her.
"Princess Qiqi, she is humble and confused, she is a major rebel, and her allegiance to the prince is the first, how can she think about any military salary. The lowly is willing to call for people, eliminate Xu Cong and other traitors, and ask the princess to give the lowly a chance to make meritorious contributions, and the lowly is grateful! ”
Originally, it was still a green onion, and I wanted to play a charcoal in the snow, maybe as soon as the prince and princess were happy, they would be able to increase their official position and become prosperous, but who knew that they were playing a shameful little clever, with such strong strength, why not be afraid of a little rebellion.
Chang Wangui can't wait to slap his two mouths, hurry up and show his loyalty, otherwise he won't even have a chance to add to Jinshan!
How do you know that the red lady doesn't buy it, she doesn't even say a word, she turns around and is about to leave.
Chang Wangui was also anxious now, he knew in his heart that if he missed this opportunity, he was afraid that he would not be able to escape the involvement of the rebellion, and when the time came, the Beijing camp would be abolished, and he would be completely hopeless.
"Princess, you have to tell you about your humble position, in recent months, the officials of the court and the central government have frequently wooed the generals of the Beijing camp and plotted to betray the prince, Fan Keqin had planned to raid the prince and assist the emperor in his own government, there are their people inside and outside the court."
"Oh?" The red lady was stunned and stopped.
In the past, she was disdainful of villains like Duochang Wangui, but during this time, the red lady's insight has also become much more sophisticated, and some dirty work has to be done by these villains!
"Chang Wangui, immediately go collect evidence and arrest those who intend to cause chaos, whether they are generals in the Beijing camp or members of the imperial court. or the files of the inner court, no one is allowed to let go. ”
"Yes!" knew that this was a dirty job, but Chang Wangui didn't dare to refute it, so he immediately got up and ran away, for fear of missing the opportunity.
This night's Kaifeng was destined to be not peaceful, first Fan Keqin and others defected, and then the Beijing camp was in turmoil, just in the middle of the night, the soldiers went out and began to search for criminals everywhere, arrest people and take people. Fortunately, most of the people who suffered from the disaster were civil and military officials who came with the little emperor, as well as ordinary old-school bureaucrats and ministers, who had nothing to do with the ordinary people of Kaifeng.
……
"Sister Liu, how many people have been arrested?"
"More than 6,000 people have been captured in the Jingying, more than 500 people have been captured on the minister's side, and Yan Yingyuan has already gone to Huaxian County, and the eunuchs around the emperor should also be cleaned up!"
After Mei Junruo listened, there was suddenly a trace of melancholy on her face. He sat dumbfounded, not saying a word.
"Sister, are you unbearable? As the saying goes, mercy is not in charge of soldiers, at this time, we can't be bad people! ”
Mei Junruo shook her head slightly: "Sister Liu, I actually feel sorry for Zhenhua, arresting and killing people, this is not pleasant." Zhenhua said that he was going to hell, so I will accompany him! ”
A hint of fortitude flashed on the young face, and he said categorically: "Catch, don't let one go, whoever dares to oppose Zhenhua is our enemy!" ”
……
Quang Binh City, Temporary Command Headquarters.
"Lord Wang, Kaifeng's flying pigeon biography."
Gu Zhenhua hurriedly took it, unfolded it, Juanxiu's font flashed in front of him, and when he looked at the handwriting, he could guess that it was Mei Junruo.
After reading it, Gu Zhenhua secretly admired in his heart, he really underestimated women, he was ruthless, and he was no worse than himself!
"Hahaha, brothers, the troubles have been eliminated, defeated Dolgon, restored the old capital, and together we will create a prosperous Chinese era beyond the Han and Tang Dynasties!"
Listening to Gu Zhenhua's words, the blood of these people present was boiling, and their bodies were full of energy.
"Lord Wang, urgent report, Dolgon is only twenty miles away from Guangping!" Fang Jianming hurriedly reported.
Gu Zhenhua suddenly stood up, the day he had been waiting for had finally come! Kill the Tartars, completely eliminate the nightmare of 300 years of destruction, and China will never become the sick man of East Asia.
Gu Zhenhua hadn't been so excited for a long time, and his blood was stirring at this time. Holding the hilt of his sword, he walked to the middle of the generals.
"Everyone listens, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while, and it's time for us to show our skills and sweep away the bloody blood. Everyone immediately followed the plan and went out of the city to face the battle! ”
……
"The minions are incompetent, they lost the first battle, and they ask the regent to punish them!" Suppilon knelt in front of Dorgon's horse, trembling and sweat dripping from his forehead.
Dolgon looked at him for a long time, his face was expressionless, and he was defeated in successive battles, constantly hitting the confidence of this hero, is it true that the Anguo Army is so strong, no one can defeat them?
No! I'll be able to do it, Dorgon!
"Kubilon, you lost your teacher and humiliated the country, and you should be beheaded according to the law. But I will open the net, remove your official position, become a soldier, and charge for the Qing Dynasty! ”
"Slave thank God!" Curb the solemn kowtow.
With a wave of Dolgon's horsewhip, the war horse galloped, and the huge cavalry team rolled over, killing Guangping, and the two enemies of life were finally going to decide life and death! (To be continued......)
