Chapter 526: The Red Lady and Song Sanniang
Taking the Romance of the Three Kingdoms as a soldier's book is not a sassy operation, you must know that the attitude of the Manchu Qing Dynasty towards the Romance of the Three Kingdoms for a period of time is also regarded as a soldier's book, so in the late Ming Dynasty, when this person was illiterate, the damage tricks in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms are still very useful.
This He Renlong had just arrived at the periphery of Fang County, and had not yet been stationed down to take a good rest, so he heard the direction of Fang County in the distance, the sound of gongs, and Hula Chao rushed out of the peasant army of thousands of people, and the first person came to the front of the two armies with a horse chopping knife and called out: "He Renlong is coming to die, your grandfather Luo Rucai is here, and he dares to fight." ”
He Renlong was furious when he heard this, Luo Rucai, a shameless gangster back then dared to scold in front of the battle, he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, the angry He Renlong personally brandished a big knife and rushed to kill Luo Rucai, Luo Rucai and He Renlong fought three moves in front of the formation, and scolded with a horse head: "Shameless dog thief, grandpa is not feeling well today, I will fight with you tomorrow, don't chase grandpa if you have the ability, go, run." ”
Luo Rucai scolded, He Renlong was furious when he heard this, what do you think of me He Renlong, come when you say it, leave when you say it, and this good thing, there is no door.
Saying that He Renlong rode a horse and chased it, the soldiers who followed him saw that his general was so impulsive, and hurriedly led his troops to follow, and stopped He Renlong at the same time.
"General, we are not familiar with this place, poor Kou Mo chases."
He Renlong looked around when he heard this, he was indeed a little unfamiliar, and he thought that he was impulsive, but at this moment, a cannon suddenly rang out in the distance, and then he saw Ainengqi leading a group of men and horses to kill him, and scolded in his mouth: "Damn, who dares to chase my Uncle Luo, I really don't want to live, but I dare to fight with me Ainengqi for three hundred rounds." ”
As soon as He Renlong heard this, he couldn't bear it, now any birdman dares to come out and call for battle, and a junior of Ai Nengqi also dares to be arrogant, thinking that He Renlong is ready to lead people to kill again, but the military advisors and others on the side hurriedly grabbed He Renlong, the general must not be impulsive!
Ai Nengqi came to the front of the formation slowly, pointed at He Renlong with a knife and scolded: "Old horseman, wasn't it still very powerful just now, why are you cowardly now, it is the master who came out to fight alone, if you don't dare to come where you come early, go where to go." ”
"I'm ...... Nyima"
He Renlong's temper couldn't be suppressed at all, he roared angrily, and rushed out on horseback, Xiaobi cub, when Lao Tzu was fighting, you were still a puddle of liquid, and Lao Tzu was big, looking for death, killing!
Saying that, he picked up the big knife and fought with Ainengqi, Ainengqi was also the master of fighting, at this time, he picked up the big knife and fought with He Renlong, the two of them fought against each other It was really exciting, it can be said that they had their own tricks.
The two fought for more than 20 rounds, and Ai Nengqi remembered that his father-in-law let him only lose, not win, so forget it, don't fight, so he bought a flaw, turned the horse's head and ran.
He Renlong roared angrily: "Brave rats, stop, and fight with grandpa for another three hundred rounds, stop." ”
He Renlong roared and chased out, He Renlong chased out, He Renlong's personal soldiers hurriedly followed when they saw this, followed by the army to protect the commander, and immediately chased after him.
As soon as the military advisor saw that the situation was not good, he immediately shouted: "General, don't chase, be careful of ambushes." ”
But He Renlong, who cut people and cut off his head, cares about you, at this time, He Renlong is like a bear child who is addicted to playing games, and it is absolutely not easy for you to let him play, and he can't control him completely.
At this time, He Renlong waved a big knife and shouted, Ai Nengqi ran in front, and the soldiers behind followed, and for a while, the group was chasing farther and farther, chasing more and more deviations.
Until the end, Ainengqi stopped running, He Renlong grabbed the reins of the horse and looked at Ainengqi and scolded: "Rats, why don't you run away." ”
Hearing this, Ai Nengqi turned around and smiled: "Hehe, because I want to send you to the western sky." ”
"Huh?"
He Renlong was stunned for a moment, and the next moment he saw a sudden sound of gongs and drums in the distance, followed by countless people climbing out of the dirt slope on the side, holding various weapons and bows and arrows in their hands.
Seeing this, He Renlong suddenly felt bad, and scolded: "Rats, you actually cheat!" ”
Ai Nengqi didn't answer when he heard this, but at this moment, a man in armor appeared in the hillside and smiled: "Hahaha...... Soldiers are not tired of deceit, He Renlong, today is your burial place. “
"Zhang Xianzhong, you are despicable and shameless."
He Renlong scolded, but at this time it was too late, at this time He Renlong's army had been brought into the encirclement, no matter how angry He Renlong was, it was useless, and defeat was inevitable.
A big battle, He Renlong is a fiasco, how miserable, after the statistics, the Ming army casualties more than 9,000 officers and soldiers, countless losses, He Renlong was shot an arrow in the chaos of the army, lost his armor, and finally in more than 1,000 personal soldiers, escorted out of the encirclement, ran out, and even when he fled, even his general officer seal fell.
It can be said that it is not miserable, and Zhang Xianzhong has fully proved that the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is still a good military book, at least he relied on a copy of the Three Kingdoms to beat the brave and warlike He Renlong of the Ming Dynasty to lose his armor.
And Zhang Xianzhong ate He Renlong's equipment and weapons, and the baggage was heavy, almost a wave of fat, and he had the chips to gallop wantonly in Hubei.
When our Governor of Huguang, Lord Xiong Wencan, learned the news of He Renlong's fiasco, he yelled: "My life is on the rise, followed by a mouthful of old blood spurting out, and I fell ill." ”
The governor of Huguang fell ill, and the entire Huguang area was completely chaotic, and the news could not be hidden, and soon spread to the capital, when Emperor Chongzhen learned about it, the whole person was not good, and the angry Emperor Chongzhen immediately ordered Xiong Wencan's dismissal and escort to Beijing, and the sentence was pronounced after listening.
Xiong Wencan was arrested miserably in this way, but this mess in Hubei still has to be solved, and it will definitely not work if it is not solved, so after many discussions in the Chongzhen court, it was finally decided to let Yang Sichang replace Xiong Wencan as the governor of Huguang to deal with Zhang Xianzhong.
Now the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and the only one who can take it is Yang Sichang, Chongzhen used to have a choice in front of Yang Sichang and Lu Xiangsheng, but now Chongzhen really has no choice.
So on April 10, the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, Yang Sichang set off from the capital, and his identity was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the secretary of the Ministry of War, a scholar of Dongge University, the governor of Huguang, the governor of Huguang, and the military and political power, which can be described as limitless, but only Yang Sichang knew the crisis.
Don't look at giving yourself so many titles, but at this time, the imperial court can't get enough military salaries, and the imperial court doesn't have enough soldiers and horses to mobilize, so Yang Sichang and his party, in addition to protecting Yang Sichang's 1,000 guards, Yang Sichang almost went to Huguang alone to take charge.
Before leaving, the emperor personally went out of Zhengyangmen to see him off, and gave Yang Sichang a sword of Shangfang, Huguang's affairs, can be left to Yang Sichang's disposal, when encountering rebellious ministers and thieves, Yang Aiqing can cut first and then play, must stabilize the situation in Huguang, and can not let Zhang Xianzhong become bigger.
Yang Sichang was very moved when he heard this, and he cried in front of Chongzhen at that time, kowtowing to Chongzhen to express his determination, he must work hard, and will never live up to Chongzhen's expectations of him, and strive to destroy the thief as soon as possible and stabilize the Ming Dynasty.
The two shed tears on the spot, countless officials witnessed the beautiful friendship between the two monarchs and ministers, Yang Sichang is a person, he has a strong desire for power, but he is not a person who has lost the country, he targeted Lu Xiangsheng, because Lu Xiangsheng did not agree with his philosophy, and now that Lu Xiangsheng is dead, then he will resist the pressure given to him by the Ming Dynasty, which is also Yang Sichang's lovely place.
He just wants a good person to perform his gorgeous rescue for Daming, you can say that he is a bad person, a traitor, but you must not say that he is a traitor to Daming, he has never betrayed Daming, even if he wants to put Lu Xiangsheng to death, he just wants to monopolize power, and now he has done it, he is really dazzling now, this string of titles on his body, any one of them is enough to shake the government and the opposition, and he got them all.
Yang Sichang set out in this way, but this was also the last journey of his life.
At the beginning of May of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, Yang Sichang finally rushed to Hubei and gathered local soldiers to fight in Xiangyang as his base camp, and the first thing he did when he arrived in Xiangyang was to convene a meeting of Xiangyang civil and military.
One of the most important issues is accountability, Yang Sichang showed no mercy at the meeting, the entire Hubei officialdom, up to Xiong Wencan, down to officers at all levels, especially those on Zhang Xianzhong's list, should be beheaded, should be dismissed, will not be soft.
This frightened He Renlong, who was sitting below, to be held accountable, he would definitely not be able to run, not long ago in the battle in Fang County, he lost quite badly, at this time, Yang Sichang had nothing to say even if he cut himself.
He Renlong's little face turned pale with fright, but he didn't expect that Yang Sichang never mentioned that he had failed the battle at the meeting, as if nothing existed, and after the meeting, Yang Sichang deliberately left him and gave He Renlong a general seal of a flat thief.
He Renlong was stunned at that time, why was he promoted?
Yang Sichang patted He Renlong's shoulder with a smile and said, "Go back and train hard, you will be indispensable in the future war." ”
He Renlong was moved and left tears of excitement at that time, and vowed to wholeheartedly serve Yang Sichang to drive.
Yang Sichang was full of smiles, encouraging people to congratulate the dragon, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves for a while.
When He Renlong left, the people on the side asked Yang Sichang: "My lord, this He Renlong obviously lost the battle, why didn't the adult hold him responsible?" ”
Yang Sichang heard this, glanced at the man, sighed, and said: "Although He Renlong was defeated, who dares to say that he can fight better than him in the whole Hubei, and now is the time to employ people, so he must use it." ”
Yang Sichang is actually an understanding person, although he is greedy for authority, but he also knows that his military ability is not very strong, Bilu Xiangsheng is definitely inferior, and his strength is to use people, but now the entire Hubei can almost be said to be unavailable, these people have one plus one, all of them are wine bags and rice bags, and finally pull out the big one, and this He Renlong is still a useful talent.
Therefore, before leaving Beijing, Yang Sichang specially looked for Chongzhen, and asked for this seal of the general of the thief, in order to buy people's hearts, and in order to highlight that Yang Sichang looked at him differently, the first thing Yang Sichang did when he arrived in Hubei was to be accountable, first scare He Renlong into a meat, and then take out the seal of the general of the thief.
This is the traditional operation of slapping a sweet jujube, the big stick is wheeled on someone else's body, it hurts to watch, and then turn around and give you a big sweet jujube, you will be very happy, this is the art of the royal family.
Yang Sichang is not a loser who can use people, with the blessing of his imperial skills, He Renlong is like playing chicken blood, not only expressed his determination to play with Zhang Xianzhong, but also personally recruited new recruits, conducted military training, and showed a look of going to the soup for Lord Yang.
Yang Sichang is very satisfied, he has encouraged He Renlong many times, He Renlong is extremely moved, but only when it comes to military salary, Yang Sichang will divert the topic, but it doesn't matter, Lord Yang spared his life, he must serve Lord Yang well, I He Renlong is grateful.
Yang Sichang came to Hubei, this matter is an earth-shattering event for the whole of Hubei, especially Zhang Xianzhong, who has just recovered, he knows that Yang Sichang is ready to find him desperately, this old guy is now angry, and he looks like he is not easy to mess with.
Therefore, Zhang Xianzhong feels that Hubei is not a place to stay for a long time, and now he must take advantage of the fact that Yang Sichang's soldiers have not been trained well, do a good job, and earn enough money, so that he can enter Sichuan and retreat to live in Hubei.
And what is the foundation for Zhang Xianzhong to gain a foothold in Hubei? That's right, it's the army, it's these rogues under him, but even if he defeats He Renlong, relying on his former reputation, he has gathered less than 20,000 people during this time, and now he only has 40,000 people in his hands, so few people are much worse than the 200,000 people during Zhang Xianzhong's total victory.
So Zhang Xianzhong's next main purpose is to recruit people, but how can people be so easy to recruit, and they are still rebelling against you, don't you want to be blind.
So even if Zhang Xianzhong sent a hero post to the outside world, but not many people responded, but Zhang Xianzhong was born in a rogue, he is not an official government, let alone Lantian County, the conscription is all voluntary, and his Zhang Xianzhong's conscription is still very barbaric and primitive.
So Zhang Xianzhong issued a conscription order to the army, and the troops were now divided into pieces, and began to arrest strong men throughout Hubei, and at the same time sent his generals to surrender the bandit and rogue forces entrenched in various parts of Hubei.
The gist of it is that my eight kings sincerely invite all heroes and heroes to come to our army to discuss major affairs, and jointly crusade against the Ming Dynasty, who are good friends, if you don't come, Lao Tzu will destroy you.
Hey, you see that my eight kings are reasonable, and soon Zhang Xianzhong's capable warriors, such as Ai Nengqi, Liu Wenxiu, Sun Kewang, and Luo Rucai were all sent out, preparing to conquer the entire Hubei, these people each led 5,000 elite soldiers, and they were eyeing the people on several major mountains in Hubei, and they led the troops to crusade, and Luo Rucai was assigned to a group of bandits entrenched in Kuimen Niutou Mountain.
And the reason why Luo Rucai chose this gang of bandits is that I heard that the leaders of this gang of bandits are two women, the leader is called the Red Lady, and the surname of the second leader is Song, the name is ominous, but it is a rare beauty, since it is a beauty, I Luo Rucai can't let it go.
