Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 228 The Heroine God of War
The middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

In this late summer season, it's buzzing again.

On the Jingjiang section of the Yangtze River, boats come and go day and night, and countless people and horses are moving back and forth.

A boat sailed all the way through the Three Gorges, arrived at Chongqing Mansion upstream, and then turned overland to Shizhu Xuanfusi.

After Zhang Xianzhong invaded Sichuan, the Ming army once collapsed and was unable to fight, and the Ming armies everywhere surrendered. Zhang Xianzhong proclaimed himself emperor according to Chengdu, established the Daxi Dynasty, and the reign name was Dashun. Don't dare to commit a crime.

There is a 72-year-old heroine Qin Liangyu in Shizhu.

Although he is old, he can still hold up half the sky.Her husband was originally a consolation envoy of the hereditary stone pillars. After the murder, his son was young, so Qin Liangyu took over the post of her husband and led his brother Qin Bangping.

Shizhu Baigan Sichuan soldiers are famous elites all over the world.

Today, the 72-year-old hero specially changed into the dress of the second-rank imperial lady granted to her by the imperial court.

Eight thousand stone pillar white soldiers are also in high spirits today.

"Auntie, the envoy is still on the way, why don't you go back to the house and wait?" Chief Soldier Qin Yiming supported his elderly grandmother and persuaded him. He is the son of Qin Bangping and a general who has fought for many years.

"An angel of the imperial court came to proclaim the imperial edict, how can he be negligent?" Although Qin Liangyu is over 70 years old and has white hair all over her head, her body is still strong. She is very tall, a tall woman over 1.8 meters. Angry and prestige.

His grandson Ma Wannian and his brothers Ma Wanchun also stood beside him with their helmets on.

Hearing this, Ma Wannian couldn't help but asked, "Is there still an imperial court?"

"Slap your mouth, what nonsense you say, of course there is the imperial court, the sun and the moon will last forever, and the Great Ming will last forever." Qin Liangyu scolded his grandson.

Wan Ma Nian reluctantly slapped himself twice. The Ma family and the Qin family are full of loyalty. His father died in Xiangyang in the 15th year of Chongzhen, and his mother Zhang Fengyi died in the battle in Henan in the sixth year of Chongzhen. Uncle Qin Bangping Qin Banghan, fought Died in the bloody battle against the Jurchens in the Hunhe River.

Uncle Minping died in the Pingshe'an Rebellion.

During the two dynasties of Tianqi and Chongzhen, the chieftain of Shizhu led white soldiers to fight for the Ming Dynasty. Many people died for the country, but they fought back and forth. Now the two capitals of the Ming Dynasty are gone, and even Sichuan is occupied by Zhang Xianzhong.

The Qin and Ma families could barely keep the stone pillars, but now another Lu Jianguo came out and wanted to transfer them to the expedition.

The young Ma Wannian and the Ma Wanchun brothers are not willing to fight in the Ming Dynasty anymore. They just want to protect their hometown and guard the stone pillars. They don’t care if the Jurchens will rule the world in the future or Zhang Xianzhong will rule Sichuan. I would like to submit to the table.

It's just that the old grandmother Qin Liangyu was still loyal to the emperor and serving the country. When she heard that the prison country was going to send envoys, she immediately made preparations in advance.

"Here we come, the messenger is here."

Superintendent Zhu Dadian, Governor of Huguang Du Yinxi, Marquis of Xingguo Li Chixin and others sent a team of elites to escort the envoys of the Supervisory Kingdom to Shizhu.

"My next Zhang Dai, edited by the Hanlin Academy, came to Shizhu to proclaim the order to the general in accordance with the decree of the supervisory state."

A handsome man in his fifties, he greeted Qin Liangyu as soon as he met him, even though he was an angel, he was very polite.

Qin Liangyu smiled and said, "So it's Zhang Hanlin. I've heard about your name for a long time. You are well-known in the world for your good articles."

"The article is small." Zhang Dai laughed. Although he was famous for his articles, the imperial examinations had not been smooth. Later, the world was chaotic, so he stopped taking the imperial examinations and lived in seclusion in Siming Mountain to study and write.

He and his second assistant, Qi Biaojia, are from the same hometown in Shanyin, Shaoxing, and they are also classmates and friends, and his father was an official of the Lu Palace, so he has a close relationship with Lu Jianguo. Under Qi Biaojia's recommendation, Zhu Yihai almost He was recruited for the first time and finally left the mountain. Now he is an editor of the Imperial Academy. Although his official position is not high, Zhang Dai is quite satisfied.

This time he took an envoy to Sichuan, and Jian Guo specially gave him the title of Supervising Censor and Touring Sichuan.

There are three main tasks in coming to Sichuan. The first task is to come to Qin Liangyu to proclaim the decree and confer officials and titles.

The second task is to gather the remaining soldiers, generals, officials, etc. of Sichuan in the Ming Dynasty to re-stabilize the situation.

The third task is to contact Zhang Xianzhong, who occupies Sichuan and proclaims himself emperor, to see if he can be recruited.Now there is also a Tusi rebellion in Yunnan. Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Guizhou, lost all of Kunming City. Zhu Yihai offered Zhang Xianzhong a condition. As long as Zhang Xianzhong is willing to lead troops to Yunnan to quell the chaos, he will be crowned King of Yunnan and promised to live forever. Town Yunnan.

Exchanging Yunnan for Sichuan is certainly not a loss for Zhu Yihai. Even if Zhang Xianzhong refuses to let Sichuan go, it would be beneficial to Daming to start a fight between him and the chieftain of Yunnan. willing to appease him.

"Feng Tian is responsible for transporting and supervising the country. The imperial edict said that the time is difficult. Use diligent teachers and brigades. The position of a general must be recruited from the temple. It is hard to be an outstanding person. Who will allow you to send it? I have a feeling that astrology was born. With the posture of civil and military, with the weapon of economy. Self-violence and madness create disasters, the district is not at peace, Yun Zhongzheng is self-reliant, resourceful and courageous.

In addition, his knowledge is grand and his strategy is deep.

Therefore, we can wipe out the strong bandits, regain the second capital, build a great honor, and become our king.

Although he was less than Kang's successor, Xia Mi praised his achievements; Guangwu Zhongxing, Deng Yu gathered his work.Looking at the past from the present, it is not enough.However, the atmosphere is still unclear, the army is in a hurry, and they want to be well-equipped, relying on the integrity of their teachers, it is appropriate to bear heavy responsibility, and overcome many difficulties.

He can serve as the commander-in-chief of the Sichuan military affairs, the former governor of the army, the left governor of the military governor's office, the title of Taibao and Prince Taibao, the seal of General Zhendong, the title of Marquis Zhongyong, and the title of meritorious official Fengtian Yiyun Zhongxing Ding Difficult to Xuanli! "

"This is the seventh month of the first year of King Lu's supervision of the country!"

Qin Liangyu was stunned.

"Marquis Zhongyong, please accept the order."

"My minister, Qin Liangyu, took the decree to thank you, long live the supervisor!"

After receiving the imperial decree, Qin Liangyu asked Zhang Dai about the situation in eastern Zhejiang.

"The situation is very good," Zhang Dai said. "Before, His Highness Jian Guo personally sent three thousand tigers to go north to the Three Wus, and fought all the way to Zhenjiang, sweeping the south of the Yangtze River. Also calm down people's hearts and increase strength, Jian Guo has returned to eastern Zhejiang with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from the ten towns' imperial battalion, and now the army is strong and horses are strong."

As he spoke, Zhang Dai waved his hand.

"This is 10 taels of silver dollars, which was given to the Marquis Zhongyong and the soldiers of Shizhu by Jian Guoming."

Shizhu Chieftain Baiganbing was also given the military title of Zhongyong by Zhu Yihai. Qin Yimin was the commander-in-chief of Zhongyong Town, and Ma Wannian was Shizhu's consolation envoy and deputy commander-in-chief of Zhongyong Town.

Ma Wanchun was awarded the fifth-rank guard with a knife in Qianniu Town...
A mouthful of boxes was lifted up and opened, revealing boxes of silver coins.

A whole hundred thousand silver coins.

"Is this the newly minted money of the Supervisory Kingdom?"

"Well, this is the silver coin with dragon pattern in the first year of Lu Jian Guo newly minted by Jian Guo. It is specially rewarded to the officers and soldiers of Zhongyong Town."

Looking at the money, even Ma Wannian and the others were extremely surprised. This Lu Jianguo seemed to be really powerful, and he was able to pay them as far away as Shizhu in Sichuan, directly sending 10 taels.

"Mr. Zhang passed through Huguang. I don't know what's going on there now? How many troops does Master Zhu need from Shizhu? I have [-] troops now. If necessary, I can recruit more. I can personally lead [-] troops over there."

Zhang Dai was moved.

"Now most of Sichuan is still in the hands of Zhang Xianzhong, and the Chongqing government is not safe. The meaning of Jianguo is to ask Zhongyonghou to sit in Shizhu and unite with the state to recover Chongqing."

Zhang Xianzhong gave up Lianghu and Jiangxi for the fifth time to attack Sichuan, and went all out to attack Sichuan. He fought a decisive battle with the Sichuan army in Chongqing, broke through Chongqing by blasting the city wall, and then marched all the way into Chengdu.

At the beginning of the year, only the stone pillars in Chongqing and Bozhou in the south had not yet fallen into the hands of the Daxi Army in Sichuan, and Qin Liangyu and Baigan soldiers were left in the stone pillars.

And Banzhou has Wang Yingxiong.

Wang Yingxiong was a native of Chongqing. In the sixth year of Chongzhen, he entered the cabinet as the Minister of Rites and a Bachelor of Dongge University. In the seventh year, he was promoted to a Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion.

Last year, Hongguang appointed Wang Yingxiong as Minister of the Ministry of War and Bachelor of Wenyuange University, Governor of Chuanhu, Yungui, and Military Affairs.

However, at this time there were only Shizhu and Bozhou left in Sichuan. Wang Yingxiong had no teachers to supervise, but this man still spent all his wealth and recruited thousands of soldiers. Ying, Wang Xiang and so on.

Previously, Li Chixin Gao Yigong and others went south from Shaanxi and Gansu via Hanzhong. After fighting He Zhen, they entered Kuizhou Mansion, successively captured Dazhou, Wanxian, Kuizhou Fengjie, Wushan and other places from the Daxi Army, and went straight to Jingzhou. Xiang.

However, at that time Li Chixin and others had no intention of staying in Badong to confront the Daxi Army, they just took the opportunity to pass by. Wang Yingxiong took the opportunity to go to the eastern Sichuan area, recruit troops, occupy Kuizhou Mansion, and resist Zhang Xianzhong.

In June, General Yang Zhan raised troops in Qianwei, attacked Jiading Mansion (Leshan), and captured Xuzhou (Yibin) with the cooperation of Fan Yiheng, Ma Yingshi, and Yu Chaozong.

When Wang Yingxiong heard about the victory, he immediately went south to meet him.

Yang Zhan first defeated Feng Shuangli, and then was defeated by Sun Kewang, and retreated to Huairen. After meeting with Wang Yingxiong, he joined forces and claimed [-] to recover Yongning.

Speaking of which, this Yang Zhan is also a legendary figure. He is more than seven feet tall and has a heroic appearance. He is the No. 3 Wu Jinshi in the tenth year of Chongzhen.

When Zhang Xianzhong attacked Chengdu, he led [-] elite soldiers to guard Chengdu. The city was broken and captured. Just as he was about to be killed, he grabbed a knife and cut the rope, hacked two people to death, and jumped into the river to escape.

Then gathered troops in southern Sichuan, killed the Daxi Army by surprise, and even destroyed the fleet of the Western Army on his own, interrupting Zhang Xianzhong's plan to go south.

Zhang Xianzhong wanted to enter Hanzhong instead, but at the beginning of the year he sent a large army to attack Hanzhong, but was defeated by He Zhen, the former general of the Dashun Army who had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. The Qing army took advantage of the situation and approached northern Sichuan.

The Ming army in Sichuan also took advantage of the situation to counterattack.

Wang Yingxiong led Wang Xiang to recover Qijiang, Yang Zhan recovered Xuzhou and Jiading, and Zeng Ying entered the outskirts of Chongqing.

It can be said that the situation in Sichuan was a bit better for a while, unexpectedly, Zhu Yihai, who was far away in the east of Zhejiang, received good news from three supervisors.

One was sent from Zunyi by Wang Yingxiong, the governor of Hongguang, the governor of Chuanhu, Yungui, and the other was sent by Zhang Jinyan, the governor of Hebei, Henan, and Shanxi military affairs appointed by the Hongguang Dynasty, from the Dabie Mountains.

The other was Zhu Dadian, the governor of the seven provinces of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Henan, Chu, Jiangxi, Guizhou and Yunnan appointed by Zhu Yihai.
