Chapter 278: Flooding Jingjiang City

Yang Jing is a descendant of Yang Zhengxiu, the capital of Shaozhou in the Northern Song Dynasty, in Shangguan Village, Chishui Mountain, Chengbu Village, and has lived in the land of Wuxi since he was a child, marching and fighting with his father and brother, and is familiar with the mountainous terrain. As long as he makes a move, how can some volunteer soldiers resist it, they will definitely be defeated.

Li Wenqing, a local official in Ningyuan Prefecture, led his troops to surrender to the Ming army, but Li Wenqing's sworn brother Ouyang Pingzhang was a dead brain, and he only recognized reason and did not recognize people.

Li Wenqing also sent people to persuade Ouyang to join Yang Jing many times, and at first Ouyang politely sent the messenger back for the sake of being a brother.

After many times, Ouyang Pingzhang became impatient, and the envoys sent by Li Wenqing refused to see them. Li Wenqing thought that it was not sincere enough, and went to the cottage in person, Ouyang Pingzhang was furious, so he almost didn't cut off his head to feed the wild dogs, and ordered the minions to knock him out of the cottage.

When Li Wenqing left, he left a few words: "Ouyang Pingzhang, you and my brother, it's not a pity for me Li Wenqing to die, but you have to think about the tens of thousands of soldiers under you, they all have families." If you figure it out, send someone to Ningyuan at any time, and the door to peace talks will always be open for you. So he went home, because Ouyang Pingzhang's stubbornness Li Wenqing was gone.

Li Wenqing wrote to Yang Jing and said in the letter: "Yang Gong, for the sake of the people of Ningyuan Prefecture, Li has advised Ouyang Pingzhang several times to see the situation clearly, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and be benevolent and righteous. A few days ago, Li risked his life to go to the cottage in person, but to no avail, these volunteers did not enter the oil and salt, Li had no way to return to the sky, and hoped that Yang Gong would forgive his sins...... As for appeasement or extermination, Yang Gong made his own decision......"

After reading the letter, Yang Jing couldn't help but sigh: "Once the success is done, all the bones will wither, and I, Yang Jing, can only do this." ”

Therefore, the area ten miles away from Ningyuan Prefecture was designated as a bandit area, and a temporary military conference was held on the matter of extermination.

Yang Zhu said: "Ouyang Pingzhang coerced the civilians, and the bandits hid in the countryside, if they were all killed, it would be inappropriate." ”

Yang Jing said: "Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black." How can there be a difference between bandits and people? Moreover, Ben Shuai has already issued a message of appeasement, and the bandits are indifferent, and if they don't kill us, they will die. ”

Yang Chang said: "Yes." Ouyang Ping has no one in his eyes, and he insists on going his own way, and he also wants to do it. ”

Yang He said: "God has the virtue of a good life, and the villagers are originally good, so why not educate them and make them return?" ”

Yang Jing said: "If education can be obtained, Ouyang Pingzhang would have voted for me a long time ago." ”

Yang Fang said: "There is no shortage of fierce generals in my Ming Dynasty, and a stubborn bandit is the enemy of my Ming army, so he should be punished as soon as possible, the war in Jingjiang is tight, and there is not much time." ”......

Whether Ning Yuan's thieves were exterminated or appeased, and the other generals were also divided into two factions, and they debated for a long time. Yang Jing stood up and said, "Everyone, if the thief does not belong to me, he will be killed." The villagers participated, in terms of clearing the wall and creating no man's land, and seeing what other tricks he Ouyang Pingzhang had. I have made up my mind, and I will give me an order to start clearing out the bandits ten miles away from Ningyuan Prefecture tomorrow. ”

Just as the meeting was about to end, suddenly the guards came to report; "General, Mr. Ou Shantang of Pu'an Fang asks to see-"

Yang Jing said: "I don't seeβ€”"

Yang Zhu said: "Liulang, let's meet and see what Mr. Ou has to say." ”

Yang Jing said: "Okay, you go with me to meet you." So the two brothers went out of the camp and went toward the gate.

The guards stopped the two or three hundred civilians and did not allow them to enter the barracks, led by an old man with a childish face, Yang Jing had already guessed that this person was the local respected Oushantang. He motioned to the soldiers to let the old gentleman in, and the rest waited outside: "Mr. Ou, look up for a long time." ”

Ou Shantang said: "The general's seal hall is shining, commanding, and heroic, but is a descendant of the prince of Feishan? ”

Yang Jing said: "It's exactly below." The old gentleman is so excited, why is it that he is so excited? ”

Ou Shantang said: "In the past, I heard that the prince of Feishan was virtuous, protected the territory and the people, and shocked the southwest. The surrounding mountain people bid for Chengzhou, and the southwest land is also a pure land. Today, the general wants to slaughter my people in Ningyuan, why? ”

Yang Jing said: "Bow first and then soldier." I am a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and Ouyang Pingzhang has offended me several times because he has deceived me too much. Those who don't know what is going on, the rat's eyes are narrow, I don't give face to fight for it, and I have to do it as a last resort. ”

Ou Shantang said: "Are the general's parents good? ”

Yang Jing said: "Thanks to the old gentleman's concern, it's good." ”

Ou Shantang said: "Does the general have a wife?" ”

Yang Jing said: "In his early years, he entered the family of Liu Xingyi, the Marquis of Yuzhang, Changde Mansion, as a son-in-law, and his wife died early, leaving behind two sons. ”

Ou Shantang said: "Does the general have brothers? ”

Yang Jing said: "Yes, the five tigers in the army are. ”

Ou Shantang said: "Since I have parents, brothers and heirs, why do I want to harm my people in Ningyuan? ”

Yang Jing said: "Bandits are the people, and the people are bandits, and it is not enough to settle down without killing." ”

Ou Shantang said: "The general's words are wrong. The soldiers are all naked outside the fang, and they are all co-ordinated. How can you kill innocents? ”

Yang Jing still didn't change the idea of the massacre, and Ou Shantang was anxious: "If the general doesn't take back his order, he should judge himself to thank the world." After speaking, he took a short knife from his sleeve and prepared to kill himself.

At this moment, Yang Jing's eyes appeared in front of Liu Xingyi's deathbed scene: "Jing'er, I regard you as my own, my father has fought countless battles with Wu Guogong, and he has never killed anyone in vain." Those who achieve great things need to always have a benevolent heart, do something, and do not do something, in order to win the world. ”

Yang Jing said: "Keep the child in mind. Dad, you can go with confidence. ”

Liu Xing: "The so-called people in the world have the country, wealth, fame and fortune, family affection, etc. Your world is the country, and it is your big thing to play a piece .....of the country for Wu Guogong" He couldn't speak anymore, but his expectant gaze kept leaving Yang Jing's face.

Yang Jing couldn't help but shed tears, and said, "The child understands-" He kowtowed to Liu Xingyi three times in a row, and Liu Xingyi closed his eyes peacefully and walked away with a smile on his face.

Yang Jing Naiwu "Gou can control the invasion of the tomb, how can it kill more?" He hurriedly snatched the short knife from Ou Shantang's hand and said, "The old gentleman asks for the life of the people, and so does the righteous man." Since the order has been given, it is not easy for me to change it privately. In this way, I will give you a command flag, ride a fast horse, and go as far as you can, and the place where the command flag is the limit of slaughter. ”

"Someone is comingβ€”prepare a horse for the old gentleman, you want the fastest!"

"Please bow to the old man-" Ou Shantang bowed deeply to Yang Jing, held the command flag in his hand, rode a fast horse, and went out of the camp gate, running all the way. That night, Ou Shantang ran out of Ningyuan City one hundred and fifty miles, and the horse really couldn't run, so he got off the horse and planted the order flag, which happened to be the area where the bandits entered the mountain.

Ou Shantang had just planted the order flag, and before he had time to catch his breath, Yang Jing's large army arrived, looking at the flag and stopping. In the places where Oushantang ran along the way, the villagers were not baptized in blood, and it was because of the existence of the Lingqi that hundreds of thousands of civilians survived.

The people of Ningyuan Prefecture were very grateful for Yang Jing's kindness, and they all cut off contact with Ouyang Pingzhang, and volunteered to be a guide for the Ming army. With the strong support of the common people, the Ming army entered the mountains to suppress the bandits, and soon defeated Ouyang Pingzhang's armed forces, captured Ouyang Pingzhang alive, and Ning Yuan's bandits were quelled.

The Ming army returned to the camp with a great victory and rested in Yongzhou. Mr. Ou Shantang was grateful for Yang Jing's prestige and loyalty, so he married his most beloved, most capable and most beautiful little girl Ou Qiaomei Xu to Yang Jing.

The big hero and good man Yang Jing is very happy, and the bandits have saved many people because of one of their banners, and they have also hugged the beauty, killing two birds with one stone.

This so-called "unintentional willow and willow shady"! Mrs. Ou successively gave birth to five sons for Yang Jing, including Yang Tong, Yang Da, Yang Tu, Yang Shun, and Yang Ti, all of whom were fostered in the home of her grandfather Ou Shantang.

Just after the wedding period, Yang Jing was reluctant, but Zhu Liangzu couldn't attack Jingjiang for a long time, and kept urging Yang Jing to lead troops to support as soon as possible.

Yang Jing led an army of 100,000 from Yongzhou to Jingjiang. As soon as he arrived in Jingjiang, Zhu Liangzu took Yang Jing's hand and said, "Brother, you are finally here, if you don't come, I won't be able to support it." ”

Yang Jing said with a smile: "Jingjiang Zhipingzhang is also like Chen Youliang, who is better?" ”

Zhu Zuliang said: "This time, that time, not the same day. ”

Yang Jing said: "My lord, can you inspect the surrounding terrain in the land of Jingjiang?" ”

Zhu Liangzu said: "I haven't seen it, I know that I have to force my ears." ”

Yang Jing said: "I know how to break the city-"

Zhu Liangzu said: "Say it quickly, brother." ”

Yang Jingdao; "The Three Kingdoms Guan Yun Chang flooded the Seventh Army, have you heard of it?"

Zhu Liangzu said: "But where does the water in Jingjiang City come from? ”

Yang Jingqi and Zhu Liangzu took the generals around Jingjiang City and returned to the outside of the city. Yang Jing said to the generals: "He is afraid of Xihao Shui'er. Break its embankment, and it will be broken. ”

Zhu Liangzu said: "Such a cruel strategy, you can't think of it." ”

Yang Jing said: "When the Mongolian army attacked Jingjiang, it was a dry attack. It was the rainy season, so it was the other way around. ”

Zhu Liangzu nodded without a smile, admiring Yang Jing. So Zhu Liangzu sent a commander to make Qiu Guang attack to the Dayaokou Pass, killed all the Yuan troops guarding the river embankment, and tried his best to break the water, and the turbulent river rushed to Jingjiang City in anger. Yang Jing also ordered the Ming army to build five earthen embankments around the city to lead the river to Jingjiang City.

The Yuan army, which was immersed in the river water, was drowned a lot, but still did not give up resistance and held the city. The enemy army in a vast sea was trapped in the water for a long time, the plague and cholera began to spread, and the combat effectiveness was declining day by day. Jingjiang City is too big, there are more than a dozen city gates, and it is difficult to attack it at once, and the best way is to use time to kill the Yuan army in the city.

The water in the city is getting deeper and deeper, and you can row boats. Seeing this, Yang Jing mobilized ships and engaged in a water battle with the Yuan army in the city. After nearly two months of fierce competition, the Ming army finally eliminated the last Yuan army and captured the Jingjiang defender Yeer Jini alive.

Zhu Liangzu and Liao Yongzhong jointly played for Yang Jing. Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang Longyan Dayue, in the merit book to Yang Jing recorded a great merit, named Yang Jing as the Marquis of Yingyang, Lu 1500 stones, and gave the world coupon (that is, the iron coupon Danshu).
