Chapter 34: The Guards Fleeing from the Battery

Zhang Biwu didn't know what Zhu Kezhen was worried about, and he added: "Not only that, but you also have to ask for the Governor's personal letter, and kill Li Yerong!" You must know that Zhang Jingxin has always been afraid of offending people, he has no courage, and he doesn't want anything to happen to his chief military officer. has always shielded and favored his subordinates, so his subordinates are not afraid of him at all and have no prestige. He wrote in his own hand, Chen Qian would believe one or two points, plus Li Yerong's head, he would believe two points. As soon as Li Yerong died, there was no proof of death! ”

Zhu Kezhen nodded when she heard this, and said, "Yes!" That's right! Likely, Chen Qian couldn't make up his mind to be a robber. He'll stand still, and then I can raise 4,000 troops to besiege him!" And kill him! ”

What Zhu Kezhen thought in her heart was: "Biwu, if you want the Governor to write a letter to Chen Qian, this is absolutely impossible!" After all, the emperor has already issued an edict to arrest Chen Qian! He wrote a letter to Chen Qian again, isn't this a trick for himself? Zhang Jingxin absolutely refuses to do it! If it weren't for the Governor's handwritten letter, this matter would really be in suspense! What am I going to do? Zhu Kezhen thought so, but he didn't show it.

Zhang Biwu said again: "But Lord Garrison, do you want the Ming army to kill each other?" If Chen Qian can be captured, there is no need for the Ming army to kill each other! Send a warrior with you, if only you could capture it! If you can't, you have to find a way to lead him to the ambush circle, and if you really fight, you have to reduce the casualties of your own soldiers! ”

Lin Xiangfeng immediately responded: "Biwu, just let me go!" You can't go! After all, Chen Qian knows you, if you arrive, Chen Qian will definitely strengthen his precautions, but instead startle the snake! You and Jiuyi go to save Yu Pei. ”

Zhu Kezhen gave Zhang Biwu a token and said: "Zhang Biwu, in the battle of the inland river in Guangzhou, the soldiers are happy and convinced of you." At the beginning, we could accommodate 300 people in one ship, and nearly 1,000 people in three ships, even after a war, there were still seven or eight hundred people. If you go early, you may be able to save Yuan Yupei's life! ”

Zhang Biwu didn't say anything when he heard it, and with the seal in his hand, he went immediately. Cai Jiuyi didn't want Yuan Yupei to die like Huang Youguang, so he also went with him.

Zhu Kezhen was still thinking about how to get Governor Zhang's handwritten letter, he had to go to see Zhang Jingxin.

Lin Xiangfeng had already seen what Zhu Kezhen was thinking, so he said: "Lord Garrison, Lord Garrison must be worried that he won't be able to get Zhang Jingxin's handwritten letter, right?" ”

Zhu Kezhen sighed and said, "Yes! Your Excellency the Governor will not write a letter! How do you say? Lin Xiangfeng replied: "I have a friend who can imitate handwriting, especially Zhang Jingxin, who is erudite and talented, is a celebrity, many of his works are spread in the world, and if you want to get it, you can do it!" Just ......"

Zhu Kezhen smiled and said, "There is nothing to do!" Personal honor and disgrace are nothing! Big deal, I don't deserve this guard duty! Without further ado, you do it! I'll go find the Governor! So Zhu Kezhen and Lin Xiangfeng went their separate ways.

Zhu Kezhen and the others can naturally do it properly, but now that the words have been divided into three heads, they have to be finished one by one. Let's talk about the situation on the Humen side!

As Zhu Kezhen expected, the one who guarded the Humen Fort was a general, and there were hundreds of people here, but unfortunately this one was always an incompetent person who could only exploit the soldiers, as soon as he heard that the British would come with pirates, he didn't dare to engage in the battle at all, and the first one slipped away.

His own soldiers also escorted him to escape, and the other guards naturally did not dare to resist and all left their posts without permission and ran away like a swarm.

It just so happened that Yuan Yupei had come here, and Yuan Yupei was surprised to see that the soldiers were leaving in large numbers, why would the soldiers retreat in large numbers? It's clear that the enemy is there, and they go, isn't this abandoning the fort?

Yuan Yupei shouted: "What are you going for? For what? "The soldiers saw that Yuan Yupei was holding a cane, but he was wearing armor, and it can be seen from his armor that his rank is not low, at least he is a guerrilla general.

For this reason, the soldiers did not dare to slack off, and one of the soldiers replied: "General, our general has already fled!" Because not only the British climbed the Humen Fort, but also the Dutch, pirates, etc. We can't stop it! ”

Yuan Yupei shouted: "Go back!" You are all soldiers of the Ming Dynasty! It's the backbone of the Ming Dynasty! How can you retreat without a fight? Give up the fort to a foreign insult? ”

The soldier was not convinced, and he spat on the ground and said, "Phew! The officials should have slipped away first, why do you want us to die? If you want us to die, we won't do it! We're not so stupid! Their officials are much higher than ours, and they are not loyal to the country, let alone us, who are often in arrears. ”

As soon as the soldier had finished speaking, he waved his hand to his companion and shouted, "Brothers, go!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the soldier turned his head and left, but the angry Yuan Yupei couldn't care so much, he pulled out his sword, and the sword flashed! The soldier's head was cut off.

Yuan Yupei pointed his sword at them and shouted, "Go back!" Give me all back! Defend the fort! We can't let foreign insults underestimate our Daming! We have the obligation and duty to defend the country as soldiers, as well as honor! ”

But what he said was useless, these troops were originally discouraged, and they also saw that Yuan Yupei was a cripple, so they didn't pay attention to him at all, and didn't they send him to death if they followed him? So the soldiers still dispersed in a hurry, Yuan Yupei couldn't stop at all, he looked at the soldiers is astigmatism.

"Alas!" Yuan Yupei let out a long sigh, he looked up to the sky, and said, "Lord Inspector, look at it, what has the Ming army become now?" Good! Even if it's just me, I'm going to the battery! Die, I will also die on the battlefield of foreign wars! As soon as Yuan Yupei finished speaking, he walked forward with a cane.

At this time, he saw that there were four people here who did not leave, and he fixed his eyes and saw that the five people in front of him were acquaintances! It's the old brothers who lived and died together in Liaodong before!

When they came to Liaodong with Inspector Yuan, they were only in their thirties, but now they are all in their forties.

The first person said: "You are Yuan Yupei, General Yuan?" Right! It's General Yuan! I'm Xia Fei! The other three also spoke up: "I'm Chen Bin!" "I'm Wen Jianming!" "I'm Hu Qing!"

Yuan Yupei didn't expect to see old acquaintances here, he saluted them and said: "The four of you are all heroes who fought bloody battles in Liaodong, killed **Hachi, and repeatedly defeated the Manchu Qing Tartars. Do you still want to fight like you did in Liaodong? Fight like a hero like you did in Liaodong! Is your blood cold? Is it solidified? If it's still hot, I want you to come with me! The Horse Leather Shroud is the supreme honor of a man! ”

Yuan Yupei looked very excited when he said this, he looked at the fort in front of him with longing, his hand holding the cane stabbed the ground hard, and then his eyes fell on Xia Fei and the four, waiting for their answers.
