Chapter 498: Please make a plan for the prime minister in advance
Through the reports of the Military Intelligence Department and Jinyiwei, Li Xingzhi used Li Bangjie as the leader to completely annihilate the Manchurian soldiers who attempted to assassinate them in one fell swoop.
In order to consolidate the city, Li Xingzhi left Liu Wenxiu's new town and Jin Shengheng's new fourth town to garrison Shanhaiguan to rebuild the city defense, and Li Dingguo immediately sent people to move all the Ningyuan Guanning military families into Jinnei, so as to stabilize the hearts of the surrendered Wu officers and soldiers.
After that, Li Xingzhi ordered Li Bangjie to go first, and he himself commanded the Manmeng Green Banner to respond, and ordered Shang Kexi, Tang Tong and Geng Zhongming and other generals to lead the towns and more than 15,000 newly surrendered Guanning troops as the rear team, and the whole army returned south.
The gentry of Beijing made trouble, Liu Lishun, Ma Sande and others were helpless, and after converging with Li Bangjie's Iron Man Army, Li Xingzhi immediately ordered the army to set off.
On the 28th, Li Xingzhi arrived in Tongzhou, looking at the city wall of Tongzhou City that was as high as two and a half zhang, Li Xingzhi was full of emotion, since he became an army, the reason why he has repeatedly succeeded, almost all rely on the familiarity with the historical trend, only this Jingjing, with a bit of adventure, but this risk is worth it, because the Shenjing, which represents the majesty of the Ming Dynasty, has been firmly controlled in his own hands.
"Dashuai, it's getting late, are we resting in Tongzhou for the night, you don't know, in order to prevent this assassination, the last general and the iron soldiers under his command, wearing dozens of pounds of armor, walked for two whole days, it's really a bit unbearable."
Li Bangjie held the reins of the horse, and looked at Li Xingzhi with a cower, today his brain was pumped, and he killed all the Manchurian soldiers who attacked Niulanshan in a sneak attack, leaving no living mouth, looking at the face of the handsome, this is a little fucking dissatisfied with us.
"Okay, let's rest overnight in Tongzhou today, it's not too late tomorrow, who is the current governor of Tongzhou? Why don't you open the door to pick up the car? β
Li Xingzhi looked up at the few cavalrymen who called the door in front of him and frowned slightly, since he arrived in Shandong and annihilated Yuetuo in one fell swoop, we have never received such a cold reception.
"The current Tongzhou Zhizhou is the protΓ©gΓ© of Zhang Sizhi, the deputy assistant of the cabinet who surrendered, it seems to be called Bi Jiyou, this guy is pushed by the imperial court after we broke through the Beijing Division, and now it is night, Tongzhou is located in Gyeonggi, and it is normal to close the door and curfew, and the city gate will be opened immediately if you want to come, and the prime minister does not have to be anxious."
Shi Xu, the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion, who was closely behind Li Xingzhi, thought about it for a while, and opened his mouth to introduce Li Xingzhi in front of him.
"Crunch, crunch, ......!"
Xu Yixian's judgment was right, not long after the cavalry called the door, the west gate of Tongzhou was quickly opened by the sergeant guarding the door, and then the two civil officials hurriedly rushed out of the city gate with black gauze hats, knelt down on both sides of the city gate, and kept shouting: "I don't know if the prime minister returns to Beijing, capital crime, capital crime." β
"These two have a little bit of eyes, if the court officials of the Beijing Division are all the same as them, why do the prime ministers have to work so hard and enter the city with the prime ministers!"
Li Xingzhi pointed at the tip of the whip, greeted him, and beat his horse and headed in the direction of the city gate.
"Wait a minute!"
Li Bangjie hurriedly trotted to follow, he was Li Xingzhi's personal commander, although Li Xingzhi was supported by Manchurian soldiers such as Anti-Bar and Alan Chai, but the responsibility was on his side, how dare he slack off.
"Bang ......"
When the clinker entered the city, a sudden change occurred, and a violent explosion sounded at the west gate of Tongzhou, and then nearly a hundred egg-sized cannons and iron pieces exploded from the ground.
The Manchu, Mongolian and Han cavalry surrounding Li Xingzhi suddenly had more than ten people hit by the cannon and fell off their horses, and those war horses that lost control were also frightened and rushed everywhere, Li Xingzhi's mount was also hit by the cannon, and rushed to the city gate in frenzy.
"There are assassins...... Protect the handsome! β
At the critical moment, Li Bangjie's eyes were quick, and he didn't care about the guns flying everywhere, the mace in his hand slammed into the hind legs of Li Xingzhi's war horse, and the horse fell to the ground in pain, and even flipped Li Xingzhi on the horse to the ground.
"Bang ......!"
Another explosion sounded, and then hundreds of artillery pieces bombarded into the air, and then smashed heavily on the scattered officers and men of Jingbei who were startled by the explosion.
"Brother Zack...... Quickly protect the prime minister and retreat, the assassin is in the city, Brother Akma, you immediately lead the cavalry to block the four gates of Tongzhou, and don't go away from the thieves. β
Looking at Zack, who had half of his head cut off by the cannon, Amba, the owner of the Green Flag, ordered repeatedly, and more than a dozen undead iron men rushed forward to support Li Bangjie and Li Xingzhi, who could not move, to retreat.
The Han army's green flag lord Akma also ordered the cavalry under his command to be divided into three teams and go to the east, south and north gates of Tongzhou.
"The brothers immediately dispersed, disguised as beggars, remember that they must not go out of the city these days, alas, I don't know if Xiao Li Thief was killed, fortunately, there are a few fools in Fang Shiliang's back, and I don't know what Yin Xingmin and others think, they actually transferred a bow and crossbow from the War Bureau to assassinate Xiao Li Thief, are you really not afraid of being punished by the Nine Clans?"
"Whoa......!"
At the head of Tongzhou City, dozens of black-clothed people threw their bows and crossbows in their hands after receiving the order, and then went down the city along the steps of the city wall, and then disappeared into the vast night.
"I didn't expect that I was blinded by the geese pecking all day long, and my appearance is not a big problem, but General Li's life is in danger?"
In the military tent, Li Xingzhi, who was lying on the marching collapse, looked at the military doctor who was fixing the splint on his calf that was crushed by the war horse, and sighed self-deprecatingly, if it wasn't for Li Bangjie's support this time, he would probably be shot into a hedgehog.
"Prime Minister rest assured, General Li's back and calf were hit by several cannons, fortunately, there is iron armor to protect him, and there is no danger to his life.
"Well, it's okay! Mr. Xu, what about the casualties? Is the four gates of Tongzhou sealed? What happened to Tongzhou Zhizhou and Zhoucheng? Is it under control? β
The military doctor said lightly, but Li Xingzhi knew that Li Bangjie was seriously injured this time, otherwise how could he recuperate for such a long time, but as the head of the army, he naturally couldn't focus on Li Bangjie alone.
"Those two goods, on the spot were bombarded by the cannon into a pulp, the lord rest assured, his subordinates have ordered the Manchurian cavalry to block the four gates, and urgently ordered the rear team of General Shang and them, they immediately rushed to Tongzhou, as long as the army arrives, the whole city of Tongzhou can be sold."
"No need, tomorrow let Shang Kexi's sixth town garrison Tongzhou, and the rest of the military horses will return to Beijing with Benxiang, as for the assassins in Tongzhou, you will be responsible for tracking down, and you must dig out these rats for Benxiang."
"Whoa!"
Xu Yixian bowed down to receive the order, but bowed heavily in front of Li Xingzhi, and said with a firm face: "I implore the prime minister to make a big plan as soon as possible, and marry the lord of Fuwang as soon as possible, so as to stabilize the foundation of my Jingbei Army for all generations." β
