Chapter 135 The City of Fraud
"Do one thing for me, I promise not to investigate the crimes of your Tingzhou people as thieves after the city is broken." Li Yuncong called the unlucky messenger over and said.
"General, please command, all villains obey their orders!" The envoy said in surprise, in fact, at this time, he had already concluded that Tingzhou must be lost, just with the strange behavior of Lord De waving the four books and annotations, it would be unreasonable for the city not to fall, how could there be no harm after the city was broken in these years, especially when I heard that these people like to wash the city in the Wa country, he has been worrying about this problem for a while.
"Actually, it's nothing, it's just a little thing!" Li Yuncong smiled and hugged his shoulder and whispered, the envoy was surprised at first, then nodded vigorously, and then returned to Tingzhou City.
"What? Are they willing to surrender? "Happiness came so suddenly that Lord Tokumi jumped up from the wicker chair.
"That's right, the original enemy general has already abandoned the dark and turned to the light, this time the adult has been told, just like the initiation, in addition, he also reads poetry and books, although he is coerced by Yang Reverse, after all, he knows that the way is obedient, and according to him, Yang Rey is his henchman, all he wants is money. In the previous battle to conquer Japan, he had gained a lot, even ordinary soldiers had to get a thousand taels of silver, how much was already satisfied, and he was thinking of a chance to get away from the rebel thief and go home to enjoy happiness, and his family was mostly in the town, how could he dare to go home as a rebel? If the adults can guarantee that the imperial court will no longer pursue their crimes of rebellion, this generation is willing to go south to Fuzhou with the adults to capture Yang Wei. The messenger said with a smile.
"Ha Luha, I see, go back and tell the people, this official swears here, if the court investigates it again in the future, he should thank him with death!" Tokuji said with a solemn face, he really feels like pie in the sky now, if these traitors directly say surrender, he will not believe it like this. But with the explanation later, it is completely reasonable, Nima, everyone has a thousand taels of silver, who would want to live this kind of work of pinning their heads to the waistband of their trousers, to be honest, in the current market, a thousand taels of silver is enough to buy a small official.
Of course, he didn't know that those people still had to be for their children studying abroad and the land of Australia, which was really attractive compared to a thousand taels of silver, otherwise Governor Yang was not worried about the fighting desire of those veterans, as for Taiwan, Fujian, and Zhejiang's local recruits. During this period of time, the daily anti-Manchurian education, coupled with the high salary inducement, and the rapid changes in the hometown bewitched me so long that I didn't know what the Dao Imperial Court was.
In order to show the validity of his oath, Lord De also personally wrote a letter of guarantee, not only according to the official seal but also on his own handprint, and after the completion of the incident, he handed it to the messenger in a song of praise and virtue in the surrounding area. Presently...
He really couldn't think of any famous general in history who had such feats. In fact, the knowledge of the German people is not very profound, and the reason why he likes to drag the text is mainly because his Jinshi got it through the back door, so he has an inferiority complex in this regard.
In short, with the joy of adding an official to the knighthood, he sent the messenger out of the city. Soon the other party came back and told him that the thief would be assured by him, and was ready to enter the city to surrender to him.
"Ha Luha, it should be the official who went out to greet him." Tokuji said with a smile, and now he didn't have any doubts at all.
The thief will speak. The identity of the adults is noble, and they are killed when they go out to greet them, and it is inevitable that tens of thousands of people will not be in harmony. In case one of them harbors a bad intention, he will not be able to redeem his death, so he will lead his main generals to enter the city to meet the adult, and then slowly deal with his subordinates, in addition, he also prepared a batch of gifts for the adult, which is regarded as a thank you for the adult's campaign, and there are more after the deed. The messenger said.
"Then since this is the case, the official is not welcome, come on, prepare a banquet in the state government, and the official wants to drink with a group of righteous people! Tokuji laughed so hard that his eyes were almost invisible, this is not a pie or a gold cake on his head, why do you say that your luck is so good! He didn't know that the golden cake would kill people if it fell on his head.
After a while, I saw more than a dozen people on horseback coming out of the enemy army, and there was a carriage in the middle, which should be a van carriage requisitioned by I don't know where the road was, depending on the situation, it was loaded with a lot of things, these people first dismounted and rushed to the city, and then they got back on the horse and drove the carriage to the city gate, Dezhi hurriedly let people lower the drawbridge and open the city gate, and then saw these people waving and crossing the drawbridge.
The man in charge of welcoming him in the gate saw people walking across the drawbridge, the carriage in front, and the people on horseback were half on the drawbridge and half in front of the city gate, and an officer at the head bowed to him! Du Si was busy and gave up, but at this moment he suddenly saw the coachman in the carriage turn over and jump down, and cut the rope on the wheel with his hand, and then before he could understand what was going on, he jumped to the head of the horse like a frightened rabbit, and took his hand and jumped on the horse, and at this time the riders behind also turned their horses' heads almost at the same time, and one jumped out of the carriage and jumped on the back of another rider's horse, and a dozen horses ran across the suspension bridge, and ran desperately into the distance as if there was a fire behind them.
"Huh?" That Du Si is stupid, what's going on?
The people around him were also stupid, one by one looked at each other inexplicably, and suddenly the face of a soldier suddenly turned white, and he didn't say anything, he didn't hesitate to leave all the burdens on his body, and ran towards the city as fast as he could.
Of course, Lord De on the city wall also didn't understand, he was wondering what was wrong with these people, why did they all enter the door and suddenly run away, at this time he suddenly felt a burst of feet under his feet, as if something was arching, he subconsciously lowered his head, and at the same time there was a loud bang, and there was no sound in his ears, and then he felt his body fly, and it seemed that the entire city wall had smashed in front of him, and then the next moment Lord De didn't know anything.
"Your city wall is quite strong, and we only used ten times as much to bomb Beijing City in the first place." Li Yuncong looked at the Tingzhou city wall that was blown away by three hundred kilograms of antimony, and said to the messenger beside him seriously.
The other party was already scared stupid, how could he know how to answer him.
"Blow the trumpet of the charge, attack, artillery fire and machine guns to suppress the defenders on both sides!" Li Yuncong ignored him, pulled out his saber and pointed forward, and the soldiers who had been impatient for a long time immediately rushed to the huge gap that had been blown up, and at the same time, the sound of artillery and machine gun fire also rang out.
At this time, how could the defenders on the city wall dare to resist, they saw the fire flashing at the city gate, and then the impression of the impregnable city wall was at least thirty steps long, and in an instant it turned into countless fragments and sprayed into the sky, and the huge impact of the explosion even blew the soldiers who were close directly into the air, even if they were far away, there was no sound in their ears one by one. Immediately after that, the fragments of the city wall and the human body smashed down from the sky like cannonballs, and even the moat was almost filled, and many people's souls were almost frightened away at this time, and those rabble composed of green camps and green insects, who still had the courage to fight, when the cannonballs exploded on the city wall, they immediately ran down the city wall screaming and swarming, and those who were in the local area took off their clothes and went home as quickly as possible, and those volunteers from other places ran directly out of the city.
Li Yuncong's first division and the first brigade combined with more than 11,000 people, and they rushed into Tingzhou City almost unimpeded, not to mention the street battles in the city, there was no one to defend even the city walls, how could anyone dare to play street battles, and the people in the city would care if your court was still a traitor! Besides, in order to maintain his more than 10,000 rebel army here, Dezhi has long looted the people's resentment, and now it is good that someone beats them and beats the water dogs, and the poor Tingzhou, which Cixi has high hopes for, has fallen like this.
The soldiers in green uniforms swept through the city like a torrent of green, and the defenders who did not have time to escape all dropped their weapons and knelt aside, but fortunately, these soldiers were very well-behaved and did not have the slightest routine activities after breaking the city, which made the people in the city breathe a sigh of relief.
"Huh, are all the food and drinks ready? This Lord De is really hearted. Li Yuncong in the Tingzhou Mansion looked at the table of wine and food that had been set up and said with a smile, and kneeling tremblingly next to him were the newly accepted concubines and a slave of Dezhi, and Lord De was not stupid, so naturally he would not come to take office with his family, in order to solve the need, so Jiangxi Governor Deshou gave him a room of concubines, it is said that he is still a famous prostitute in Nanchang, and now it is just cheap Li Yuncong.
Of course, at this time, the battle could not be regarded as over, because some of the Yang army of Dezhi fled westward, probably to flee to Jiangxi, while drinking and eating meat under the service of Lord De's concubine, Li Yuncong sent a telegram to Yang Feng to ask what to do, Jiangxi is not the territory of the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang after all, and the impact of crossing the border is not good, but if you don't cross the line, let those guys go, it is difficult to ensure that they will not make trouble in the future.
"You said Tokushou provided guns here?" He asked the silky little concubine next to him, he was young and handsome, and there was a world of difference between him and the bad old man of Dezhi, and this little hoof was about to arch into his arms now.
"Not only are there guns, but Han Dusi also has a battalion of training troops here to help?" The concubine rubbed against him like a cat, gasping slightly, she didn't know how much annoyance her former master would be caused by this sentence.
"Isn't this a death for the Governor in the telegram?" Li Yuncong twisted her pi strands, turned to his herald and said. (To be continued......)
