Chapter 161: A Thousand Days at Home
As soon as Li Dayu and Gong Shengdi went to Macao to surrender to the prefect's office, Xu Guangzeng, a timid and fearful prefect, immediately imprisoned the two, believing that "Amal acted in vain and had an inherent way to die, and that the criminal's murder and dismemberment of his limbs was really cruel and related to foreign affairs, and he did not get involved in the slightest restraint and gave him an excuse." He did not dare to offend the people of Franc Jiren, and ordered the Xiangshan prefect to execute Li Dayu and Gong Shengdi as soon as possible so that the case could be closed.
A week later, Bao Yizhao, the magistrate of Xiangshan, who had no way out, was beheaded in tears and killed Li Dayu in Qianshan, while Gong Shengdi was sentenced to exile to the Ili area to guard the border and not return to his hometown for ten years. Who knows, the Franco-Robot did not stop there, refused to retrieve Ammale's head and stumps, did not release the captured hostages, and also put forward unreasonable demands such as compensation and the occupation of Hengqin Island. It's really a wave of unsettled, wave after wave.
Gong Changyu, who was stationed near the Gongbei port, did not get the customs clearance documents, and was never able to enter the Macao Peninsula, and the plan to expel the Francophile came to naught, when he learned that Li Dayu was killed, he was furious and rushed to the crown with his troops, but was stopped by the black marshal Huang Qinggong and his cousin Zhu Rongsen, so there was no fight with the guards at the port.
Gong Changyu had no choice but to send someone to disguise himself as a fisherman, secretly landed from the sea, transported Li Dayu's body back to Panyu, buried Li Dayu in Niulangang, and gave Li Dayu's family a pension of 2,000 taels of silver, and Gong Sheng's family of 200 taels of silver. After this incident, Gong Changyu saw the weakness and incompetence of the imperial court, and he was more careful in doing things in the future, everything involved the sovereign interests of the country, weighed it again and again, and never dragged the mud and water, and it became the regret of his life that he did not drive the Francophone out of Nanyue County.
His post of general was also removed from the imperial court, and he was still a garrison position. After waiting in Panyu for more than a month, he didn't wait for the beautiful Jianren to send him the Gaolite, Gong Changyu had almost used up the tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets on his body, so he had to take more than 200 soldiers from Panyu, through Blue Mountain, Ningyuan, Quanzhou and other counties, and returned to the suburbs of Wuyou outside the city of Liufeng Tuan, just happened to meet Rong Weishan who was begging outside the city.
Gong Changyu was very happy when he hadn't seen this little beggar for a long time, and took him to the barracks and asked him to be his bodyguard. Rong Weishan said that he was not used to life in the barracks, and he was still more comfortable wandering. In fact, he disliked that Gong Changyu's troops were too small in number, and he had no appeal, and he had recently caused a big disaster in Panyu, and it was not the right time to join the "Jingjie Battalion" at this time, and there was no way out.
Before leaving, Rong Weishan told Gong Changyu that the battle of Baochengfu was still going on, and the blue wolf army on the west road would soon come to attack Wuyoucheng, hoping that Gong Changyu would fight this battle well, and the two would meet in the military camp in the future. Gong Changyu couldn't keep it, so he had to give Rong Weishan ten taels of silver, and sent him away with a smile.
When he arrived outside Wuyou City, it was only forty miles away from Sidu, and Gong Changyu missed his eldest princess a little. Before the arrival of the Blue Wolf Army, he took a dozen or so personal soldiers and returned to the Zhu family compound in a super shortcut way.
When I arrived at the door, I saw my aunt Gong Lanping, daughter-in-law Feng Jiao'er, Lin Haiying, and Xiao's mother-in-law carrying baskets, and were about to go out to the Chenghuang Temple opposite to burn incense and worship Buddha.
"Old learner, did you buy the warship?" Aunt Gong Lanping asked with a smile.
"No, I was tricked by beautiful Jianren, and I waited for more than a month, and I didn't see their shadows." Gong Changyu replied dejectedly.
"If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you. Those foreign devils, can you believe their nonsense? As soon as Gong Lanping heard that Gong Changyu hadn't bought a warship, her face immediately changed, "Then how much is left of the more than 50,000 taels of silver I gave you?" ”
"Not much, less than 10,000 taels." Gong Changyu said as he entered the courtyard of the courtyard.
"You really can do it, you have only been out for more than a month, and you have spent more than 40,000 taels of silver. You are a loser......" Gong Lanping followed into the courtyard, scolding.
"Auntie. It's good to be at home, but it's hard to go out. It's good that I can come back alive. Gong Changyu took a gourd scoop in the well, scooped a scoop of well water, and drank it.
"Changyu, are you in trouble again in Panyu?" Feng Jiao'er also followed in and snatched the gourd scoop from Gong Changyu's hand.
"Boss, you can ask your cousin Rongsen about this, I'm tired and don't want to talk." Gong Chang walked into the hall without looking back and lay down on the couch.
"I'm going to tell me. Otherwise, you don't want to sleep. Feng Jiao'er twisted Gong Changyu's ears and said.
"In charge, my aunt didn't say she wouldn't let me sleep, what are you yelling about?" Gong Changyu forced his eyes and said weakly.
"Let me ask you, why didn't Li Dayu and Gong Sheng come back with you?" Feng Jiao'er looked at Zhu Rongsen and his party in the courtyard, and seemed to find something wrong.
"I'm sorry for Li Dayu......" Gong Changyu raised his head and wiped his cheeks with his hand, his voice was very small.
"What the hell is going on?" Feng Jiaoer asked.
"You go and ask Brother Rongsen. I just want to be quiet. After Gong Changyu finished speaking, he lay down with his head back.
"I'm really speechless, there's something you can't say, hide." Feng Jiao'er let go of her hand and walked over to Zhu Rongsen and Hei Dashuai.
"Sister-in-law, let's go to the backyard and talk." Zhu Rongsen finally spoke.
"Rongsen, you just stand here and say." Gong Lanping said loudly, "You brothers, you spent so much money on the old lady, I have to know what you have done in Nanyue, the old lady's eyelids have been dancing hard for more than a month." ”
"Erniang, your worries are not wrong. As soon as we arrived in Panyu, we were stationed at the Niulangang in Sanyuanli, and we fought a vicious battle with the Marines of the Eagle Attack Li people, and rescued more than 200 women who were imprisoned...... Then we went to Baisha Island, where Chang Yu met Zhou Xiaoyi, a cousin of the Fishermen's Self-Defense Force Captain Changfang...... "Zhu Rongsen began to tell about their experience in Nanyue.
"Isn't Zhou Xiaoyi married to a local tyrant in Liwan? How did you end up on an island to be a fisherman? Gong Lanping said with wide eyes.
"It's strange to say, dozens of us were waiting for Meijian's arms merchants to come and deliver the warship, and the fishermen on the island were treated as pirates, and under the leadership of Zhou Xiaoyi, they drove us out of ......the sea," Zhu Rongsen continued.
Gong Changyu heard that Zhu Rongsen shook out Zhou Xiaoyi's matter, where did he still have the heart to sleep, he stayed in the courtyard of the Zhou family for one night that night, and Zhou Xiaoyi had such a thing, if Feng Jiaoer knew, she would make trouble in the Heavenly Palace again.
This moved his cousin to something else, and he was a little relieved. Later, Zhu Rongsen described the assassination of the "Governor of Macao" Amal in Macao, and Feng Jiaoer and Gong Lanping opened their mouths wide when they heard it, and they were so shocked that they didn't say a word for a long time.
After learning the fact that Li Dayu was killed and Gong Shengdi was confiscated, Gong Lanping did not blame Gong Changyu, but said that he did a very good job, and he was the pride of the people of Sidu......
Gong Changyu lived in the Zhu family compound for two days, and when he left home, Feng Jiaoer took a few family members to send Gong Changyu and his party to Niushi Bridge, and then reluctantly said goodbye to Gong Changyu.
Gong Changyu and others traveled to Deng Yuantai, saw the people along the way fleeing one after another, and learned that more than 1,000 people from Shi Xianda, the king of Wei of the Blue Wolf Country, took advantage of the emptiness of the garrison in Wuyou City, and captured Wuyou City in less than two hours, and the Qinghe Army defending the city retreated to the Liufeng Regiment and joined up with a Jingnan Army unit.
"Damn, Lao Tzu is worried and has no place to sprinkle! These long hairs are coming so fast, and within ten days of General Ben's return, they have come over! Gong Changyu reined in the horse's head and said to Hei Dashuai, "We only have more than 200 people, how can we recapture Wuyou City?" ”
"General, we are fighting on our own soil, and we have the right time, place, and people, so are we worried that there is no way to deal with the Blue Wolf Army?" Hei Dashuai smiled.
"I understand, just fight a sneak attack war, and you can take out this rabble. Let's go to the Six Maple Regiment to have a look. Gong Changyu patted the horse and went forward.
As soon as he arrived at the Liufeng Regiment, the little beggar Rong Weishan sent information and told Gong Changyu about the deployment of the Blue Wolf Army in Wuyou City, and it seemed that Rong Weishan's choice not to stay in the "Jingjie Battalion" was right.
Gong Changyu was overjoyed, slaughtered pigs and sheep to reward the soldiers, after nightfall, the soldiers of the "Jingjie Battalion" cooperated with the defenders of the original Wuyou City, and marched quickly to Wuyou City.
Ou Youming, the commander of the blue wolf army guarding the fort in Wuyou City, took on the heavy responsibility of defense for the first time, and he was so drunk that he fell asleep directly in the bunker, neglecting to take precautions. When his subordinates saw that the guard was dangling, they also fell asleep.
After the ugly time, Gong Changyu sent a small team to climb the rock, and captured Ou Youshu and them without a single shot, and then controlled the entire fort. There is one less firepower point, Gong Changyu's squad is a pro-army, all of them have experienced the battle of the Panyu Governor's Palace, and they are all good at fighting with a top ten, and soon they touched the east gate. When Qing Erxin, the commander of the Blue Wolf Army, found them, the city gate had already been opened.
The soldiers of the Jingjie battalion took advantage of the situation to rush in, and the thunderbolts continued to explode, deafening. Qing Erxin and the others couldn't stop it, retreated to the city, fought with the "Jingjie Battalion" in short quarters, and fought in the streets.
Lai Gepi learned that the East Gate had fallen, and rushed to the city from Ying'en Gate to rescue Qing Erxin. The Qing and military lasso, who had already laid an ambush, tripped his horse and captured Lai Gepi alive on the spot. When the Huang Wennian brothers at the West Gate heard the sound of killing in the city, they left a part of the blue wolf army to guard the West Gate and went straight to the city.
