Chapter 125: Take control of Jinan City
Li Xingzhi claimed to have a holy decree, and even killed Ni Chong, the general soldier of Shandong, on the spot, and kept saying that he wanted to send Yan Jizu to Beijing, which frightened everyone in Jinan.
Even loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty like Song Xuezhu were puzzled, this Li Xingzhi was so bold, could it be that he really acted according to the holy decree?
Seeing the cavalry on Li Xingzhi's side again, without asking, he knew that it was the Manchurian cavalry, which could make the murderous Manchurians obey orders, which must be even more ferocious than the Manchurians, so the Jinan officials present would dare to speak out.
Xu Li Rui also led the fire camp to the Huibo Gate.
From Xianxian all the way to Jinan, although the two white-pole infantry teams of the fire battalion have not improved their combat effectiveness, they have already looked good in terms of military appearance, and the mandarin duck infantry team and the long-range infantry team are even more murderous.
"Handsome! There are 2,100 people in the fire camp, and there are 2,100 people. ”
Li Rui's voice was not high, but it was very powerful.
Li Xingzhi pointed at the tip of the whip and said lightly: "In accordance with the holy decree of Your Majesty, the Shandong general soldier Ni Chong, greedy for military salaries, colluded with the East captives, and the crime is one of them, Er immediately led the army to control the four gates of Jinan, occupied the important places in the city, and immediately returned to the barracks with the officials and troops of Shandong Town. ”
"Whoa!"
Li Rui doesn't have so many fancy intestines, and the handsome man said that there is a holy decree, then there must be a holy decree.
"Into town! Each team divided half of the manpower to control the city gate, and the rest of the generals took the Jinan Domain Treasury first! ”
Li Rui waved his long knife and urged the fire camp to rush towards the city.
Although Jinan City is strong, it is not really big, it is only about 30% larger than Gaoyang City, and there are about 130,000 residents in the city, and the rest of the people live outside the city.
"According to Your Majesty's holy decree, Ni Pet is corrupt and perverts the law, and deducts military salaries, all officers and soldiers in Shandong Town can enter the camp first, and later Li Shuai, the chief soldier of Leiden, will definitely make up for your military salaries."
There are only 3,000 Shandong troops under Ni Pet's department, and there are only more than 1,000 people stationed in Jinan City, and the deputy general Qi Kuan and his family are controlled by the cavalry of the Jingbei Army.
After the fire battalion took control of the city gate, the Shandong army was already a turtle in the urn, and Li Rui was the overseer to drive all the Shandong troops in the city into the camp.
Hooking up with Ni Pet is guilty, and he can be exempted from entering the camp by order, and the general army of Lydon will also make up the military salary, with a stick in one hand and a carrot in the other, even if there are Ni Pet's henchmen in the Shandong army, no one dares to resist at this moment.
In less than three moments, the defenders in the city had been controlled, and Li Xingzhi waved his big hand and ordered the cavalry to escort the officials of Jinan to the governor's yamen.
"There are no guns, no cannons, the officials and soldiers help Lao Tzu build them!"
"With a man, with a knife, the emperor's wife dares to grass!"
Obviously, the soldiers of the governor's yamen and the prefect's yamen did not dare to brush the tiger whiskers of the Manchurian cavalry, and after seeing Yan Jizu who was tied up with five flowers, hundreds of governor's pacesetters were also driven to the military camp in the city.
Li Xingzhi laughed loudly, except for King De's Mansion, Jinan City at this moment is already surnamed Li.
Dewangfu, Li Xingzhi doesn't want to care for the time being, the first thing he has to do is to check the materials in the city, according to his estimates, Jinan City, as the provincial capital of Shandong, will naturally not be short of money, grain and materials.
Therefore, Li Xingzhi immediately ordered Li Youcai and Song Guangkun to immediately issue a proclamation to prevent riots and order the materials in the city.
Li Youcai held the prefect's seal that had just been taken down from Jinan prefect Gou Haoshan in his hand, and entered the Jinan prefect's yamen in a grand manner.
Since the officials in the city are all controlled, those secretaries and officials in the city are also discerning, and those who enter the city are also officials and soldiers.
Everyone knows very well the fate of not obeying the holy decree, and they didn't see that Yan Buyuan was tied up like zongzi, and they had to be sent to Jingshi and sent by the emperor.
Therefore, the subordinates in the government office all stood in the lobby respectfully, waiting for Li Youcai, who was observing the prefect's seal, to give an order.
Looking at the officials under the hall, Li Youcai was proud, and he was born in a down-and-out show, where did he ever think that one day he would be able to sit in the lobby of the prefect's mansion.
"According to the holy decree, the Shandong general soldier Ni Pet is corrupt and perverts the law, colludes with the Eastern captives, and whether the officials of Shandong are colluded or not, they can only be convicted after arriving with the governor Liu Minyuan, so this official is temporarily acting for the official affairs of Jinan, do you have any opinions?"
Li Youcai has been a master under Huang Wenchang for a long time, and he is still very good at playing official.
"The subordinates don't dare!"
All the officials bowed down and said, in their hearts, Yan Jizu was arrested by you, let's dare to object to a fart.
"Good! In this way, the first thing to do is to check the treasury in the city, as well as all the weapons and materials, and the official must record them and hand them over to His Majesty's Imperial Inspection. ”
All the officials were "groaning" in their hearts, checking the treasury and rectifying weapons and materials, this Yan Ministry and Ni Zhentai were afraid that something had really happened, and they nodded their heads one by one to receive orders.
Li Youcai thought for a while and said: "Today, the Lydon soldiers entered the city and moved the sword soldiers, and the official is afraid that the people in the city will be shocked, and you still need to send a notice to calm the people in the city to calm the hearts of the people in the city." ”
The act of maintaining stability and peace among the people is the proper meaning of the question, and all the subordinate officials have also received orders.
After the Jingbei army entered the city, it only controlled the administrative departments such as the four gates of Jinan, the governor's yamen, the prefect's yamen, and the feudal treasury, and did not disturb the people.
After the initial panic, the people were not so afraid, after all, it was also the officials and soldiers who entered the city, and they said that they had given a holy decree to investigate corrupt officials and what happened to our little people.
The proclamation is very clearly written, only corrupt officials and those who collude with the Chinese invaders are investigated, and they have nothing to do with the people.
The people finally put down their hearts, these corrupt officials, good investigation, all day long this tax, that tax, these corrupt officials should have been investigated.
Jinan Governor Yamen Flower Hall.
All the officials in Jinan Mansion looked at Li Xingzhi who was drinking tea leisurely on the main seat.
They didn't know what this bandit-turned-general Lydon was doing.
At nightfall, Song Guangkun and Li Youcai entered the flower hall one after another, and did not look at the officials of Jinan Mansion sitting on both sides, and saluted Li Xingzhi: "Li Shuai, Jinan's treasury and ordnance have been checked, please Li Shuai checked." With that, he pulled out the paperwork from his sleeve pocket.
Li Xingzhi waved his hand: "You read it and listen to the officials." ”
Song Guangkun's expression was awe-inspiring, he cleared his throat, opened the paperwork, and read: "According to the preliminary inventory, there are 33,000 taels of silver, 17,000 stones of grain, 21,000 catties of medicine, 28 cannons, 530 guns, 130 pairs of armor, spears, broadswords, and a number of bows and arrows. ”
Li Xingzhi picked up the teacup, slowly sipped it in the cup, looked at Gou Haoshan, the prefect of Jinan, and Zheng Qian, the prefect of Shandong, and asked: "Jinan, as the capital of Shandong, has only such a little money, grain and weapons in the city, what else can you say?" ”
Zhang Bingwen, the political envoy of Shandong, choked and said: "The official is not clear about the weapons and armor, that is the responsibility of Shandong Town, this money and grain is due to the emergency in Gyeonggi, and some of them were urgently transferred into Beijing last month, if Li Shuai does not believe it, he can send someone to check it." ”
