Chapter 715: Riding the Wind (15)
Xu Sheng looked at Shi Tie's corpse on the ground, there was still warmth, and remembered that his sister was still in the Special Bureau, he didn't know for a while whether to go to Fujian or disband the army?
He looked at Fang Xiaoyan, Fang Xiaoyan was coated, if it weren't for Wei Ling Jing to save him from water and fire, he would have turned into loess a long time ago, he only listened to Jing Yang's life, Ling Jing Yang suddenly turned his body to the southeast.
"Dudu, the last general is used to the army, and he suddenly disbanded the army, and he can't find a good livelihood, so it's better to follow the Zheng family to Fusang, go to Nanyang, and live this life happily."
He chose to go overseas, and Xu Sheng no longer hesitated, and also went overseas.
Ling Jingyang nodded, and asked the two to go to the barracks to select the soldiers, not to force the soldiers to go overseas, and the soldiers who were willing to go home were given one hundred taels of silver and one stone of coarse grain as a settlement fee, and the army was disbanded on the spot and returned to their hometown.
Mi Shengguang and Jin Dashou did not leave, the two of them have been following Ling Jingyang, Ling Jingyang looked at the two of them, and said: "I will write to Your Majesty and ask for an official and a half position for the two of you." ”
Mi Shengguang smiled.
"Governor, you don't have to, I followed the governor to the north and south, I looked down on life and death, and it was not uncommon to go to the people to breathe, the governor was unwilling to fight, the lower officials obeyed the wishes of the governor, and returned home tomorrow, and asked the governor to give the lower officials 500 soldiers to escort the lower officials home."
Jin Dashou's family had already died under the Qing saber, and he had nowhere to go, so he followed Mi Shengguang back to Beizhili.
Ling Jingyang waved his big hand, transferred 500 troops to escort Mi Shengguang, Jin Dashou, and gave 10,000 taels of silver.
Jin Dashou, Mi Shengguang retreated, just now it was still bustling with the hall, only Ling Jingyang was left, he smiled bitterly, he has seen too much life and death in the past few years, and finally realized the cruelty of politics, and the horror of killing people without seeing blood.
Unconsciously, the sky darkened, the sun went down, Ling Jingyang felt inexplicably lonely, he desperately longed for someone to greet him, and walked quickly to the backyard.
In the backyard, there is his sweetheart Bai Lushui, and Bai Lushui's condition is gradually improving, but he still has some cough.
Ling Jingyang went straight to her boudoir, Bai Lushui looked back and smiled, cheering and hugging Ling Jingyang.
"Grand Duke, will you accompany me tonight?"
"Good, good, good."
Ling Jingyang said three good in one breath, there was a noisy noise outside the door, Bai Lushui turned her head to look, Ling Jingyang asked her to ignore it, it was the maid, the servant, and the guard who were packing their luggage, before that, Ling Jingyang asked Mi Shengguang and Jin Dashou to settle the military and civilians of Huizhou Mansion before leaving.
The order to disband the army had been conveyed to the entire Huizhou government, and within a few days, tens of thousands of soldiers in various prefectures and counties who were unwilling to serve as soldiers had received 100 taels of silver and a stone of coarse grain, unloaded their armor and weapons, and returned home with the silver and grain.
The soldiers who wanted to continue to lick their lives at the edge of the knife, followed Xu Sheng, Fang Xiaoyan pulled out to Fujian, and after dawn, a force of more than 9,000 people quietly drove to Fujian, and the entire Huizhou Mansion fell into a quiet.
The Governor's Mansion was also peaceful, most of the officials Ling Jingyang was unwilling to be an enemy of the imperial court, and Ling Jingyang would also protect himself from the imperial court to seek a good future for them, and most of the officials in the Huizhou Mansion chose to leave.
The servants of the Governor's Mansion, the maids, and most of the guards were also dismissed by Jin Dashou, and only a few of the guards were unwilling to leave and continued to protect the Governor.
Ling Jingyang ignored it, he slept all night with Bai Lushui in his arms, and only after dawn did he find that the Governor's Mansion was a little quiet and terrifying, he came to the courtyard and saw that in the middle of the courtyard, twenty guards stood in a row, they were willing to stay and continue to protect the Governor.
"Xu Sheng, is Fang Xiaoyan gone?"
A guard stood up and answered Ling Jingyang, and General Xu and General Fang went to Fujian with their troops.
Ling Jingyang was not surprised, he asked the guards again, how much silver, grain and grass are still in the Governor's Mansion?
"Back to the governor, Jin Shilang, Mi Shilang accompanied most of the military salaries last night, and there are five thousand taels of silver and five thousand stones of grain and grass in the mansion."
"Okay, in five days, you and I will go north, and the governor of Pontus will meet the saint."
Ling Jingyang decided to go north, he wanted to ask Zhu Youzhen in person, and ask if this person still had a conscience?
Ling Jingyang suddenly remembered that Jin Dashou and Mi Shengguang were also going to Beizhili, and rushed to Jin Dashou's house with the guards.
The group came to Mi Shengguang's mansion again, Mi Shengguang came to the barracks last night, selected hundreds of soldiers as his personal soldiers, and then left Congshan Pass with his troops non-stop and went to the direction of Ningguo Mansion, only Jin Dashou was in Huizhou Mansion to deal with the aftermath. Ling Jingyang was ideal, he planned to take Bai Lushui to Beizhili in five days, but without waiting for him to set off, he would kill an army from the northeastern region of Jiangxi and rush to Huizhou Mansion.
Most of the Ming troops in various parts of Huizhou Prefecture were disbanded, almost an undefended state capital, and this army went all the way north, aiming at Congshan Pass.
The door of Congshan Pass was wide open, and only a very small number of soldiers were stationed here, and Ling Jingyang got an army attacking Congshan Pass, and immediately thought that Zhu Youzhen had finally returned.
He didn't even need to go to see Zhu Youzhen, Zhu Youzhen couldn't wait to come back with his troops.
He no longer had troops to resist the soldiers and horses of the Chongzhen Dynasty, and he was unable to look at the sky, so he came to the city wall of Congshan Pass alone, and there were only a few people on the city wall, saluting him.
Such a few people, not to mention guarding the city wall, even a city gate can't withstand it, he raised his eyes and suddenly saw some people outside the city running here.
Could it be the vanguard of the Chongzhen Dynasty?
Ling Jingyang couldn't believe that the army of the Chongzhen Dynasty had such strength, but fortunately, it was not the army of the Chongzhen Dynasty that came, but the army and guards who had been dismissed before, and they spontaneously rushed to Congshan Pass with weapons to protect their Dadu Governor.
There were not many of these people, and Ling Jingyang ordered the city gate to be opened and let them in.
Ling Jingyang came to the gate of the city and personally met with these loyal subordinates, although there were only a few hundred people, but everyone's face was full of death.
Ling Jingyang is really afraid that among these people, Xu Sheng and Fang Xiaoyan should not be buried here, and these soldiers cannot be buried here.
"Aren't you waiting to go home? How did you put on the armor again? ”
"We will swear to protect the governor to the death, and please fulfill the governor."
Hundreds of men shouted loudly to resist Chongzhen's soldiers and horses here, even if they fought to the last man, they would die in front of the governor.
Ling Jingyang's eyes were a little moist, and he regretted disbanding the army, but he didn't regret it, looking at these hot-blooded men, he couldn't let them lose here, and once again issued a military order, and immediately left Congshan Pass with weapons, it was best to keep up with the army going to Fujian, and go overseas with the Zheng family.
Hundreds of people were reluctant to leave for a long time, and Ling Jingyang finally became angry.
"Get out of here, get out."
