Chapter 102: The Siege (1)

Chen Rongtai believes that he owns the most land in the eleven capitals, he is old and has a high seniority, and the government has to give him some face on weekdays, and this dog official will definitely not dare to listen. [I didn't know that when I arrived at the Yamen, I didn't even enter the door, and I was blocked by Qin Ruizhu.

"My master is discussing a major matter with a few outsiders, and it involves the White Lotus Sect bandits, you are not suitable to participate, please go back."

Chen Rongtai was about to break through, and he didn't want to stretch out a few muskets. The bald head who led the team was very vicious, and said coldly: "In the words of my grandfather, if anyone dares to break intruder, according to the White Lotus assassin, they will be killed on the spot." ”

Not long after Chen Rongtai returned to the villa, someone from the yamen came to find him, saying that the county order had already discussed with the elders of the clansmen and towns, and the money and grain apportioned were paid, and the old man Chen was expected to pay according to the figures. When the county has money and food, it is good to recruit brave thieves.

Chen Rongtai only looked at the darkness in front of him, and said angrily: "Good Liu Chaozuo, you forced me." Come on, prepare pen and ink, and see if the old man can clean him up. ”

In the yamen of the governor of Huizhou, the people who came and went were in a hurry, and one by one official documents were sent to all parts of Guangdong, and important official documents from all over the country were sent to the governor's yamen. Wu Guifang is a Jinshi of Jiajing for 23 years, and he has a very high rank in the middle of the department, and has been in Guangdong for many years, and has built an iron wall in Guangdong, known as Zhu Jiajiang and Wu Jiayue.

But now, this Governor Wu is in a deep anxiety, and the excerpts of the exchange make him feel that the situation is not optimistic. Guangdong is still too poor after all.

Since the implementation of the ban on the sea, the people's livelihood in Guangdong has withered, and there are many people who go to the sea as thieves, and it is difficult to collect taxes. The lack of taxation, in turn, severely limited Guangdong's military strength, making Guangdong always in a state of instability. The Zhelin mutiny, the standard camp carelessly lost Jingzhou, and actually lost the county seat. Although the county seat has been successfully recaptured now, it is the city that the rebels themselves have ceded. At present, the rebels are plundering the counties everywhere, and this situation is almost uncontrollable.

To deal with them, the troops at hand alone are not sufficient, and they have to recruit bravery. But you have to spend money to raise bravery, where does this money come from? This old soldier's brows furrowed into a Sichuan shape, Yin Zhengmao has a pen in his hand, do you want to pull down the old face and find him to adjust his position?

Outside, a Guangzhou courier handed the urgent document sent by Lin Shouzheng to the yamen, and the messenger did not dare to slack off, so he wanted to hand it to Wu Guifang, but was blocked by Guo Anbang.

"Where's the excerpt?"

"Guangzhou Lin Taishou."

"Bring it to me, you go down, Da Shuai has been upset these days, don't alarm his old man with small things. I don't think Lin Lao'er has anything serious, so I don't have to care. With so many horses in his hands, can't they defeat the rebel army? ”

He looked at Lin Shouzheng's codex, and then saw the official document cover of Xiangshan County, sneered, and threw it into those ordinary official documents.

This old man said goodbye to himself in Guangzhou, and Xiangshan County did a bad job for himself, but in the end, he actually won and lost, and drove himself back to serve by the handsome. If you don't take revenge, you won't be a man. Since this codex is on them, let's let it wait slowly and see when the handsome man is in a better mood.

Outside Xiangshan County, the boat had been parked, and hundreds of people lined up in a line. The officer who led the team pushed the unlucky ghost who was caught halfway: "You don't have a good place in this place."

"If you go back to the master, where does the villain dare to lead the wrong way. The front is indeed Xiangshan. ”

"Don't want to bully us Teochew people, I haven't been to Xiangshan. If you dare to lead the wrong way, you will be skinned. Ah Cai, go over and call the city away, let them open the door and let us in. When you enter the city, I promise you not to seal your sword for three days. ”

"Shuai Ye, this Xiangshan County is said to be rich and noble, there are tens of thousands of taels of silver in that county, and tens of thousands of stones of rice, as long as we open this county, we will all be rich. But what if the Guangzhou side comes to the army? ”

"Come on a birdie. Lin Shouzheng lost his hand in grasping the regimental exercise, and the militia got up to fight with the officers and soldiers, and the two were in trouble, and he couldn't distinguish people to deal with us now. As long as we wash Xiangshan County, we will retreat to the sea and find an opportunity to recruit peace in the future. In short, don't suffer from the bird's anger in Zhelin, it's better to be happy here. ”

The soldier in charge of calling the city strode to the city and shouted upward, "We have come to Xiangshan to assist in the defense under the orders of Wu Junmen." Hurry up and open the city, the rebels of Zhelin will be there, if we don't enter the city, your little city will not be able to hold it. ”

The guards at the head of the city were very nervous and hurriedly went down to report, and after a while, a civilian official came to the head of the city and asked, "Are you a man sent by Wu Junmen?" But I don't know which one it is, but did you bring an official document? ”

"We are Wu Shuai's standard camp, and we came here with an urgent order, where did we get the official document of the bird? Whether you let us in or not, if you push it back, beware of us pulling out our legs and leaving, and then see what you do to defend the city. ”

"It's easy to say, don't worry, the chief official, this will order the opening of the city. Come on, hurry up and prepare. ”

I only listened to his order, and soon the city was on fire, I don't know how many torches and lantern balls were lit, and there were people beating drums and trumpets, and countless flags were shaking at the head of the city.

The soldier who deceived the city knew that it was not the road, so he turned around and was about to leave, but he knew that the guns and bullets were all over the city, and there were random arrows, which frightened him into not possessing his body. I finally escaped back, but I still had two arrows with me and was shot again.

Seeing this, the officer led by the men and horses was furious, and with a knife in his hand, he cut down the unlucky man who led the way. scolded: "What a fucking bad luck! Didn't you say that there were no soldiers in the city, why were there so many banners and muskets? Listening to that movement, why does it seem that there are dozens of guns? Hell, when did the small county town have so many firearms, which battalion of men and horses arrived in the city first and took the lead? ”

"Big brother, to fight or not to fight? Why don't we attack the city overnight? ”

"Hit the ball! Look at the tall construction of this city, and there are preparations in the city, let's just give away this little bit of family foundation. Looking back, a few other people are going to come to the fire and let's stop, what do you do? Even if you retreat to the sea, you have to have your own troops, and without guns, let's count it as a ball. ”

"But this Xiangshan County is prepared, or let's withdraw."

"Withdraw? If you can't withdraw, if you withdraw, you'll be in vain. As soon as the hearts of the sons and daughters are scattered, the team behind them will not be able to take them. Spread my word, and the whole army set up camp and sent a banded team to sweep through the countryside to see if there was anything to grab first. Wait until tomorrow after dawn, see which way he is defending in the city, and then figure out a way. ”

In the county seat, Li Yanqing also scolded: "What kind of marksmanship do you have." Dozens of guns failed to leave a single thief, and this kind of marksmanship simply lost the face of the official. Everyone should be in good spirits, act like this play, and scare the rebellious army, otherwise our county will be lost, and no one will want to live. ”

He went down the city tower, Pegasus returned to the yamen, and said to Zhang Ruolan: "Ruolan, you still have a way." Just this torch and the technique of beating drums and waving flags really frightened the rebels. This time, we have to show a big face in Guangdong and make a big name. ”

Zhang Ruolan smiled: "You don't have to flatter me, you and I have the same fate as husband and wife, who will I help if I don't help you." Don't mess around with me now, hurry up and defend the city in front, if the city pass is lost, none of us want to have good fruit to eat. ”
