Chapter 234: I'm Not a Good Man
Dodor finally got the news that Ilde had died in battle, and that the 10,000 troops he had brought out were left to be wiped out.
Zhou Yuji is really Zhou Yuji, and he actually caught himself off guard, Duoduo didn't understand it, or in such a swampy area, how did Zhou Yuji do it? Ilde is a famous general in Jianzhou for more than ten years, whether it is in Mongolia or Liaodong, in Shanxi have left Ilde's leading troops to attack the city, Ilde actually died like this, and the death is not even heroic.
In Duoduo's puzzlement, Zhou Huchen continued to retreat, because it was about to get dark, and he had no time to provoke Duoduo's army, of course, this was an excuse, Zhou Huchen would not use thousands of people to touch Duoduo's army stupidly. This is guerrilla warfare, and it is also a way to contain the army of Duoduo.
The logistics unit in charge of receiving was waiting for Zhou Huchen in a village, and a long-lost hot meal was a treat for these warriors.
The army led by Duoduo did not dare to advance again, and he began to advance along the south bank of the Baita River, and as for Zhou Huchen jumping up and down in front of him, Duoduo thought that these movements were too small for Duoduo to ignore
On the ninth day of the fifth month of the first year of Hongguang, under the scorching sun, Zhou Huchen was about to enter the boundary of Yangzhou.
Although history has not become fragmented, many changes have taken place, and the southward movement of Duoduo's army has been much slower than the original history, and Duoduo's army is obviously many, much smaller. And Yangzhou, which was slaughtered in history, now has a heavy army led by Zhou Yuji and his son.
Yeshan Town, eighty miles north of Yangzhou.
The sun was shining, and Zhou Yuji, who had already led the army to Yeshan Town, was by Shi Kefa's side, and he was flanked by Wang Deyong, Mo Xiancheng and other generals. On the other side of Shi Kefa were Wei Yinwen, the governor of Huaiyang, Yang Zhenxi, the envoy of the two Huai salt transports, Tongzhiqu Congzhi, Wang Zhangjue, and some civil and military officials that Zhou Huchen had never seen.
Seeing Zhou Huchen, who looked a little embarrassed, Shi Kefa's always serious face showed a smile, and he stepped forward: "Zhou Shuai, don't come unharmed!" ”
Shi Kefa used the honorific title, and also brought a huge welcome lineup, looking at this welcome lineup. Looking at the smiling faces, Zhou Huchen also smiled, these are almost all his supporters! Shi Kefa is very face-saving!
Zhou Huchen stepped forward and bowed with his fists and knelt on one knee: "Your command, Zhenjiang General Zhou Huchen led his troops to stop Jiannu and returned to the division, and killed 10,000 Jiannu, and specially paid the order to the overseer." ”
This is a procedure that must be taken, Shi Kefa clenched his fists: "Zhou Shuai has a meritorious service in the battle of Jiannu, and this overseer will report to the imperial court and ask Zhou Shuai to return to the team." ”
The weakness stems from the absence of Liliang, and now Yangzhou has Zhou Yuji's father and son. With this army that can compete with Jiannu, the officials and people of Yangzhou, which is bound to become a battlefield, have confidence. Jiannu is behind Zhou Huchen, and the war will continue
Shi Kefa introduced those officials who Zhou Huchen did not know, and greeted each other for a while, and soon, those civil and military officials who had come to welcome Zhou Huchen immediately returned to Yangzhou City, while Zhou Huchen continued to stay in Yeshan Town.
Under Shi Kefa's introduction, Zhou Huchen knew that the original Yangzhou prefect Ma Mingluo had gone to Nanjing, and now he was the deputy prosecutor of the Sentencing Department. The new prefect of Yangzhou is Ren Minyu. After Shi Kefa rushed to the towns to help, Yangzhou finally had two support armies, and Liu Zhaoji, the chief soldier stationed in Gaojiaji, came to help. The other is 4,000 people led by Li Weifeng, the chief soldier of Gansu Town, and Gao Qifeng, the deputy envoy of the supervising army.
Zhou Huchen knew these two people, and he was familiar with the history of this tragedy. These Li Poofeng and Gao Qifeng are scum! In the original history, the purpose of Li Poofeng and Gao Qifeng coming to Yangzhou was to hold Shi Kefa hostage and surrender to the Manchus. And Shi Kefa also fully exposed his weakness as a scholar in this matter, he was too merciful, when Li Poofeng and Gao Qifeng persuaded Shi Kefa to surrender to the Qing army together. Shi Kefa only angrily reprimanded the two of them, and said: "Yangzhou is the place where I should die, and you two want to be rich and noble." You can figure it out for yourself! ”
In this way, Li Poofeng and Gao Qifeng went out of the camp with two drums that night in the original history, and before leaving, they also lured several Ming troops who were guarding the salary to go out of the city and surrender to the Qing Dynasty together.
Zhou Huchen knew about this, in fact, it didn't matter whether Li Poifeng and Gao Qifeng had taken refuge in Jiannu or not, they were already dead.
Zhou Wanjiang, the leader of the family, quickly left the camp after Zhou Huchen whispered to him, and he took several family members on his horse and went straight to Yangzhou City.
Check in the bud!
Li Poofeng and Gao Qifeng were sentenced to death, and none of their subordinates would escape this fate, Zhou Huchen's soldiers were too skilled in doing this kind of thing.
How many "own people" have been killed? How many enemies have you killed? Zhou Huchen didn't know that in his memory, it seemed that the sum had exceeded one million, and this killing would continue, there were too many people who needed him to kill, and they would kill!
"I'll be the butcher of history!"
Zhou Huchen looked up to the sky and sighed, for the sake of this China, Zhou Huchen's name as a butcher may have to last a lifetime, and he is destined to be killed in the annals of history, making countless people "admire" incomparably.
The merits and demerits of history have their own historical comments, and Zhou Huchen doesn't care.
Zhou Huchen was very tired, but as soon as he ran to his camp to settle down, his Lao Tzu ran over.
Entering Zhou Huchen's tent, after Zhou Huchen gave a salute, Zhou Yuji finally showed his fatherly side, and he gently patted his son's shoulder to show encouragement and satisfaction. There are too many people outside, Zhou Yuji has never had a chance, as for praise or something, it is exempt, there is no need between father and son.
Zhou Yuji sat down, the whole process of the battle has been reported to Zhou Yuji in detail, this is needless to say, Zhou Yuji said another thing: "Gao Qiqian was caught by me, and when he wanted to escape without a fight, he was caught by our people on the river!" Oh yes, Gao Qiqian is the supervisor of Jiangbei. ”
Zhou Huchen is no stranger to this name, Zhou Yuji once mentioned this person to him: "It's the high dive without eggs, right?" ”
Zhou Yuji nodded slightly, but did not continue.
Zhou Huchen understood that Zhou Yuji must have been a little merciful at that time, he didn't directly hack Gao Qiqian to death at that time, and then put on his due hat.
You watch it every day, hear and witness, haven't you learned anything about your son's yin and murderous jishu? Zhou Huchen really admired this cheap dad, he wouldn't do it, what the hell are you doing keeping it?
This is too simple for Zhou Huchen: "What's the use of keeping this eggless waste?" Let's just say that death from illness is not over? ”
It's so simple and effective! And there is no loophole, Zhou Yuji did not answer, he bowed his head gently.
Zhou Yuji acquiesced, but there was one thing that Zhou Huchen didn't understand, this heroic and fearless father sometimes couldn't be as decisive as he fought in battle? It's not that Zhou Yuji wants to borrow his own hand, it's a matter of thought! At the end of the Ming Dynasty, those unyielding and world-famous figures made mistakes repeatedly? Weishenme: They are also as merciful as Zhou Yuji to tolerate those who betray and choose cowardice?
Maybe this is because the concept of the times is different from education, and it is the poison of Confucianism? Zhou Huchen could only explain to himself like this.
Zhou Huchen believes in one truth; Troubled times are the shijie of the hero.
This is the historical period when the dynasty wants to revolutionize, although now there is Zhou Huchen, it will not necessarily change the dynasty, but Zhou Huchen knows that such an era cannot be a good person, because - a good person does not live long.
Only Xiaoxiong can reach the peak of his life and live longer, Zhou Huchen hopes that day will come sooner, and he is also on the way. (To be continued......)
