Chapter 434: Pacifying Tianjin (Part II)
There was only one siege artillery, but it was divided into three wagons to load, and one cannon was disassembled into three parts, and the barrel part weighed a thousand catties, which was also loaded on the carriage, because the barrel was too heavy, and the carriage used two horses, and it was difficult to pull it up.
This is an ordinary siege artillery, in terms of accuracy and range, it is far worse than the Franco cannon that Qin Kan values, Tianjin Sanwei was originally equipped with ten cannons, and last year the White Lotus cultists infiltrated into Sanwei, and even some of the hundred households and deputy thousand households have developed into believers, at that time, after stealing this cannon, there was quite a lot of movement, after all, this thing has huge lethality, much more powerful than a sword, and there is one less cannon for no reason, which is not good to explain to the court.
Later, several Qianhu and Deputy Qianhu who became followers of the White Lotus Sect secretly made silver and dotted up and down, and the commander of the three guards did not intend to make a big deal about it, if they lost the artillery by the imperial court, the end would definitely not be good. Therefore, the commander reported the incident to the military headquarters, and only lightly exposed the matter on the grounds of "damage to the barrel of the artillery."
Although the commanders also secretly sent people to search for and track down, the artillery had been hidden in the mountains by the White Lotus Sect, and the matter of tracking down was finally over.
A year later, this cannon became Qin Kan's talisman......
…………
…………
Twenty miles away from the city, there is a village called Dazhangzhuang, the village is close to the official road, and on both sides of the official road, there are two unknown hills.
The artillery was moved to the mountainside by everyone's joint efforts, Ge Lao Wu made a flat land on the mountainside, and then reinstalled the artillery, the muzzle of the black hole was facing the official road under the mountain, if there was a car driving by, a cannon fired, and the hit was nine out of ten.
The sniper location was chosen by Tang Zihe, which is based on the mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and can be sniped when entering, and can calmly escape into the mountains and forests when retreating, and it is difficult for officers and soldiers to find.
The artillery was loaded, and Ge Lao Wu used sand to grind the rust on the barrel. Then carefully grease the inside of the barrel. After a long day of work, the artillery has been renewed, a small bamboo basket next to the gun carriage is filled with black gunpowder, on which are placed three solid lead bullets, under the sunlight projected between the shadows of the trees, the shells quietly exude a cold killing intent.
"Miss Tang, when do you think Qin Kan's dog official can quell the rebellion in Tianjin?" After the busy work. Ge Lao Wu leaned his back against the roots of a large tree, looking at the gloomy sky through the swaying and overlapping leaves.
Tang Zihe glanced at the artillery uncomfortably, and said lightly: "The White Lotus Sect will control no more than half of the three guards, Qin Kan will mobilize 30,000 troops from the three mansions to surround Tianjin, and the White Lotus Sect will be defeated in this battle." Within three days, Tianjin could be pacified. ”
With a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth, Tang Zihe said: "The White Lotus Sect is too anxious, they want to have a force to dominate the world and win the country, but they don't know that they can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, some things are in a hurry, and there must be no good results...... It was a bit strange that the White Lotus Sect chose to launch at this time. The army is encircled. When the heavy army was pressing, he raised the flag and rebelled, in the end, Ma Si who took over me was a straw bag. Or is there another mystery behind this matter? ”
Ge Lao Wu smiled and said: "The big mystery is none of our business, Miss Tang, do you mean that Qin Kan can pacify Tianjin within three days, and after the Tianjin affair is over, he should also leave for Beijing, right?" ”
"The fastest is three days, the slowest is five days, if nothing happens, Qin Kan will return to Beijing within five days."
Ge Lao Wu nodded, looked at the official road less than 100 zhang down the mountain, stretched out his thumb to compare the distance, and said with a smile: "Then let's wait for him here, this road is the only place to return to Beijing...... Oh, brethren are not far away, let's avenge them! ”
The laughter full of murderous intent echoed in the silent mountain forest, and Tang Zihe felt his heart tighten inexplicably.
*****************************************************************
Three thousand anti-thieves broke through.
When Qin Kan heard the news, his face suddenly became ugly, this matter was really beyond his prediction, originally they chose the wrong time to start the incident, since they started in a hurry, according to Qin Kan's prediction, the most rational way is to capture Tianjin City, control the Shengang wharf in the city, seize the ship to cross east, land in Japan, Korea or Ryukyu, first preserve the strength, and then try to come to Japan.
Who knew that the three thousand thieves did not play their cards again and again, and did not attack the city as he expected, but broke through and scattered.
"Among the six guards, there must be an internal response of the thief!" Qin Kan wrinkled his eyebrows, stared at the map on the table, clenched his right hand into a fist, and slammed it on the table a few times.
Li Er was confused and said, "Master Hou, how can you see it?" ”
Qin Kan said coldly: "Let's not talk about anything else, the 30,000 army is heavily surrounded, and the 3,000 anti-thieves actually know the weakest point of the encirclement of the Dao army, and they attack to break through the encirclement, if they find this weak point by luck, do you believe it?" ”
Li Er was stunned and said, "Could it be that someone has reported to the White Lotus Sect?" The White Lotus Sect even infiltrated the three mansions and six guards? ”
"It's not necessarily the infiltration of the White Lotus Sect, I just have an inexplicable feeling that in the matter of the change in Tianjin, there is a third force behind the storm, and their shadows are looming in it......" Qin Kan wrinkled his eyebrows and groaned.
"In addition to the Imperial Court and the White Lotus Sect, who is the third force?"
Qin Kan smiled bitterly: "This is just my intuition, how can I know that Lu Dao is so clear?" According to my feeling, this force is not a friend or foe for us, and the comers are not good, maybe it is against the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect, maybe it is for me personally, if it is for me personally, it will be difficult to investigate, in the past two years, I have offended the prince, offended the civil officials, offended the eunuchs, killed the Tartars, killed the Japanese Kou, pit the minister, pit Liu Jin, bloodied the East Factory, and the West Factory Fanzi has also planted a heel in my hands......"
One by one, the enemies crossed their fingers and counted like a number of treasures, and the more they counted, the more frustrated they became, and even Li Er's cheeks began to twitch.
grinning dryly, Li Er complimented him with a dry conscience: "Lord Hou's popularity is really, really...... Hehe, outstanding. ”
Qin Kanle was happy, and kicked Li Er hard to show his appreciation: "If the idiom 'outstanding' is used well, I like a good subordinate like you." ”
"Don't say it, I don't think it, when I talk about it, Hou Ye has offended so many people, and any of these people may be the third force in the corner of Tianjin, Hou Ye, what should we do next?"
"The three thousand thieves scattered and fled, and it is not a small trouble to scatter into the people, especially since Tianjin is only 200 miles away from Beijing, and if these 3,000 people are not annihilated, there will be disasters in the future. Li II. Send all the Jinyi guards and the warrior battalion to hunt down the thieves, and leave a few hundred people around me to protect me, but it is useless. ”
"Yes."
"Things have come to this point, the White Lotus Sect in Tianjin has probably been purged, and at present, as long as the three thousand anti-thieves are annihilated, it will be considered a complete success, and now we will set off to meet with the commander of the six guards. It's too insecure to stay outside all the time, but it's still the safest ...... in the barracks."
Qin Kan got up and wanted to leave, but he saw Li Er's expression sneering, as if he had something unfinished.
Qin Kan stopped and looked at him strangely: "Anything else?" ”
"Yes...... Master Hou, someone from the Jingshi court came. An overseer of the imperial history, named Li Teng......"
Qin Kan Yileng: "What are you doing in Tianjin?" ”
"Sent out by the Imperial Procuratorate, it is said that it is the meaning of the right capital Yushi Tu Huang, Hou Ye suppressed the Tianjin White Lotus Sect and the Beijing Dynasty all knew, and later heard that Tianjin Sanwei was unstable, Hou Ye asked the army of the three mansions and six guards to prepare to quell the rebellion, the matter was big, and the court was ...... Cough. Many people in the court have a lot of respect for Hou Ye. Uh, quite that...... Micro-words. Among them, Tu Tu was the leader, clamoring all day long to ask the emperor and the cabinet to take back the identity of the Hou Ye, but was refuted by the emperor and the cabinet, this old guy surnamed Tu was unwilling, and simply sent the imperial history in the name of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and hung up the title of 'patrol press', but in fact, most of them came to restrain the Hou Ye's ......"
"Since His Majesty and the cabinet have refuted Tu Yun, how dare he send someone to restrain me?"
"Master Hou, the cabinet is not monolithic, don't forget, there is still a Jiao Fang in the cabinet, this old guy wears the same pants as Liu Jin, and he is not afraid of panic, the Metropolitan Procuratorate sent people to Tianjin, and there is no acquiescence from Jiao Fang and Liu Jin......"
Qin Kan frowned deeply, feeling a little sad in his heart.
It is said that the Chinese people fight for outsiders and insiders, and this is true, these officials in the court have no other skills, but the ability to drag their feet is professional.
Li Er saw Qin Kan's gloomy face, and couldn't help but say cautiously: "Master Hou, this supervising imperial history named Li Teng is now waiting for you in the handsome tent of the Sixth Guard Army, according to the secret agent of the Jinyi Guard in the Sixth Guard, this Lord Li spoke in a weird manner, and when chatting with the commander of the Sixth Guard, he insinuated many times, faintly accusing Hou Ye of forcing the Three Guards to rebel against the Three Guards, and the crime of using swords and soldiers......"
This is the characteristic of the Ming Dynasty, the little Qipin Yushi Tian is not afraid of the ground, anyone dares to participate in the impeachment, anyone dares to scold, even the emperor They don't look at it, let alone Qin Kan, the little Marquis of Shanyin.
And this imperial historian surnamed Li was assigned by the Metropolitan Procuratorate to come to Tianjin, naturally the person who came was not good, and it would never be as peaceful as the blessing of the heavenly officials, although Qin Kan did not see his face, he could already imagine how this guy was commanding in the handsome tent, and his nostrils were facing the sky.
A rich murderous aura gradually rose in Qin Kan's eyes.
On weekdays, with Qin Kan's brain, there are at least a thousand ways to make this Lord Li die normally, but now it is not possible, it is an extraordinary period, the thieves have not been eliminated, and the war has not ended, at this time, he really doesn't want to cause trouble and add trouble.
"Master Hou, Li Teng is waiting for you in the tent of the six guards, do you want to summon him to see him?"
Qin Kan shook his head: "Let's go to the Liuwei Shuai tent now, it's not safe outside after all, now everything is to chase down the thief as the top priority, the 30,000 troops of the Liuwei can't do without a unified command, I must take over the command of the Liuwei, otherwise the army will order many doors, and the matter will be defeated." ”
"Li Teng ...... there"
Qin Kan thought for a moment, and a sinister smile appeared on his face: "Who has the worst temper under the command of the Tianjin Sanwei?" ”
"Uh, Liang Sheng, the commander of Tianjin Wei."
"Which concubine room does Liang Sheng like the most?"
"The smallest sixth concubine room, it is said that she was a famous prostitute who was redeemed from the Qinglou three months ago, and she is very coquettish......"
Qin Kan smiled evilly: "In the evening, you invited the commanders of the three guards to a banquet on behalf of Ben Hou to ease their hearts, and said that Ben Hou would keep them safe, and by the way, he called Li Teng, and drunk Li Teng during the banquet, and then stole Liang Sheng's favorite concubine from his mansion and sent it to Li Teng's bed, and created an opportunity after an hour for Liang Sheng to inadvertently discover their adultery......
Li Er's eyes widened and he gasped: "............"
"If Master Li is not beaten to death by Liang Sheng, it means that he is a man of great fate, and it also shows that Liang Sheng is a hospitable person, I will see him again tomorrow and talk to him seriously."
Li Er swallowed his saliva with difficulty: "My subordinates think it, Liang Sheng shouldn't be so hospitable, Master Hou, if you ...... What about Li Teng being slaughtered by Liang Sheng? ”
"Then quickly send a message to Jingshi, ask Jinyiwei to raid Li Teng's house, give me the copied silver, and give the evidence to Tu Tu, turn around and ask Tu Tu, and ask him what kind of goods he sent to Tianjin."
"Understood! There must be evidence of guilt, and if not, there must be one! ”
******************************************************************
When the army of 6 guards and 30,000 soldiers pounced on the 3,000 scattered and fleeing thieves with the force of lions fighting rabbits, Qin Kan led nearly 1,000 captains and warrior battalion soldiers to open the tent of the six guards twenty miles away.
However, on the official road outside Dabai Town, which was less than ten miles away from Qin Kanqin's honor guard, two groups of strangers were fighting to the death.
There was a huge disparity in the number of people on both sides, with more than 500 people on one side and only more than 100 people on the other side.
The side with fewer people is Dongchang Fanzi, and the side with more people is actually Xichang Fanzi, and Wu Hu, the head of the West Factory, and Ma Si, a traitor to the White Lotus Sect, are among them.
This time the East and West No. 2 Factory is not an ordinary brawl, but a real desperate.
Dozens of corpses had been lying on the ground, most of them Dongchang Fanzi. Blood was spilled all over the ground, the dead were gone, and the living were still fighting for their lives.
Dongchang headed by Nie Gao, just an ordinary Dongchang leader, by Dai Yi's order to investigate the Tianjin White Lotus Sect has been several months, today Sanwei openly rebelled, the White Lotus Sect from dark to light, loyal and traitorous after the clear, it is the most tense moment in Dongchang, the thieves scattered and fled, Nie Gao led his subordinates to track all the way, in the place of Dabaizhuang from the country road to the official road, inadvertently found that the people of the West Factory were ambushed on both sides of the official road.
Nie Gao was taken aback, after all, they were all factory guards, so he stepped forward to ask what was going on, who knew that Wu Hu didn't say a word, and with a look, more than 500 West Factory fans pulled out their swords and fought with East Factory.
When dozens of people fell from Dongchang Fanzi, Nie Gao gradually understood that this was a trap set by Xichang, a trap that had nothing to do with the White Lotus Sect!
When he was fighting, Nie Gao lost his mind slightly, and a knife light ruthlessly slashed at him, Nie Gao was startled, and he didn't have time to react, and suddenly he was blocked by a burly figure in front of him, but it was his most affectionate subordinate in Dongchang.
A deep knife was split in the chest of Fanzi who blocked the knife for him, and the blood gushed out like a fountain, Nie Gao was dumbfounded, and the steel knife in his hand turned over, and he waited desperately with Xichang, but the subordinate who blocked the knife suddenly turned around, and pushed him fiercely with a trace of strength in the back, and blood gushed out of his mouth, and he opened his mouth and shouted at him hoarsely: "Run!" Come on! Go and report to the Governor and report to Qin ......"
Before he finished speaking, a bright sword light flashed, and the great head of the speaker rose to the sky, and then fell heavily into the dust, until he opened his eyes and died without blinking his eyes.
Nie Gao staggered back, his eyes red, his teeth biting his trembling lower lip deeply, and he glanced deeply at the remnants of his subordinates who were fighting for their lives, and then turned around and ran without hesitation.
Whoosh!
Three crossbow arrows were fired mercilessly at Nie Gao's back......
