I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 212 Tuogu (please subscribe)

Fires broke out in Yongning City.

Xiao Ge and others, who also heard the sound of gunshots and shouts of killing, immediately knew that the army was coming, and immediately started setting fires everywhere according to the plan to cause chaos, which created an opportunity for the army to attack the city.

I just didn't expect that the army's attack on the city was so smooth. They easily captured the north gate in a short time. Seeing the army's speed and rushing into the city, Xiao Ge directly stopped Wen Yingkui and others who were leading the way. After revealing their identity, they took Wen Yingkui and others directly to She Mansion.

Wen Yingkui had long known that Jin Yiwei was in the city, so he was not surprised, so he immediately gave instructions.

"Qin Minping, you lead four thousand stone pillar chieftains to quickly capture the government office in the city. Anyone who resists will be killed!"

"Xia Yuan, take five thousand soldiers from three sides and go directly to the south of the city. That is where the Yongning Guards Camp is. According to Jin Yiwei, there are still four thousand soldiers there. Take them immediately before they can react. do not kill."

"The rest of the people and I quickly surrounded She Mansion, don't let She Chongming escape."

Taking down She Chongming was definitely a great achievement. It seems that Wen Yingkui wanted to take the credit for himself. However, Qin Minping had already captured the city twice and was satisfied. Naturally, he would not compete with Wen Yingkui for this credit. Take the order immediately.Instructing the people below to occupy various arteries in the city, he personally led people to the Yamen.

Wen Yingkui was afraid that She Chongming would run away, so he didn't dare to stop him for a moment. He immediately let Xiao Ge lead the way and galloped away to She Mansion.

She Mansion is located in the inner city of Yongning. As the local emperor of Yongning, the walls are high and the palace is deep. Now that he saw the army entering the city, he immediately listened to She Chongming's order and immediately closed the door.

The family members were asked to wait in the backyard for She Yin to lead troops to respond, so that people could be arranged to evacuate. This caused many noble families who wanted to take refuge in She Mansion to suffer. No matter how hard they knocked, they couldn't open the door. They were pushed at the main door, crying and calling for help. Into one piece.

"Kill all rebels and stubborn resisters. No one will be spared!"

Wen Yingkui had never been so successful. The Yongning Guards were not prepared at all. There was not even a decent resistance outside the city gate. It was not until they entered the inner city that there was some resistance, but they were all with eggs hitting rocks and mantis arms acting as chariots.

When they arrived at She Mansion, they saw that the door of She Mansion was closed. The refugees who were still crying for refuge in front of the door saw the officers and soldiers coming and wanted to escape, but were intercepted by the officers and soldiers who were chasing them. Some of them did not understand the identities of the officers and soldiers. , and wanted to reveal his identity in the hope that the officers and soldiers would be wary.

But these soldiers had been on the road for two days, and now they were holding back their anger and wanted to kill people and make meritorious deeds. Now seeing that these people dared to maintain their identities, they immediately became furious and chopped them with a knife. Seeing that these people were so unreasonable, He immediately became obedient, kowtowed and begged for mercy, and did not dare to take any further action, lest the officers and soldiers would misunderstand him.

"Sir, when She Mansion broke through the city, She Chongming's son She Yin left the mansion and went to the barracks in the south of the city. After that, the gate was closed tightly and no one was allowed in. It seems that he wanted to resist."

The Jinyiwei who were assigned to monitor She Mansion saw that the officers and soldiers had arrived, and immediately came to report the situation.

"She Chongming, who still wants to avoid going out and resisting in a corner, waiting for reinforcements to arrive, seems to be very confused. Immediately surround the mansion and don't let anyone in or out. Anyone who violates this rule will be killed immediately!"

Then Wen Yingkui looked at the luxurious mansion with high walls and deep interior, and thought about how to break the mansion. He must do it quickly and don't have long nights and dreams.

"Also, hurry up and bring the Zhentian Lei. I originally thought it would be useful when attacking the city, but it didn't work. I just wanted to try it with this luxurious mansion."

Zhentianlei is a kind of metal bomb made of pig iron and filled with gunpowder. When attacking a city, it can also be piled under the city gate or wall to ignite the explosion and destroy the city. When Wen Yingkui came, he specially asked someone to bring some. If you are afraid that your plan will not work, then you will attack the city by force, and now you will use it to capture She Mansion.

Everyone immediately obeyed the order, and while surrounded by She Mansion, they went to collect thunder. But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from a small hole on the wall of She Mansion.

"Master Jun, our She family has always been respectful to the imperial court and has never been disobedient. But I don't know what our She family has committed and why the imperial court should treat us like this."

She Chongming and others now knew that the government troops had invaded, and they knew what had happened when they heard them shouting "rebellious party, traitor" and others.

But now they still have a glimmer of luck in their hearts. As long as they delay a little and wait for She Yin to lead his troops, there might be a glimmer of hope.

Wen Yingkui also understood what they meant, but now he also needed time, so he signaled to continue collecting Thunder Thunder while pretending to be cowardly.

"She Chongming knows best what your She family has done. She surrendered to the imperial court, but secretly forged weapons, trained troops privately, and colluded with An Bangyan and others to plot rebellion. Do you think the imperial court doesn't know about it? Come out and surrender quickly, say Maybe there is still a trace of blood left, otherwise none of them will be left alive.”

As soon as these words came out, He Ruohai, who was shouting from the palace wall, was shocked. Although he knew that the rebellion had been leaked, he didn't expect that the imperial court even knew about the collusion with An Bangyan. Knowing that this matter was very confidential, the entire luxury Only a few people in the government knew about it, and he couldn't help but wonder who had leaked the news.

"Master Jun, our She family has been wronged. There must be a traitor who framed us. The imperial court asked Mr. Xuanfu to come to aid Liaodong, so he trained troops. How could it be a rebellion?"

Wen Yingkui thought it was funny that they were still quibbling at this time. "But the imperial court only allowed you to send [-] troops to help, while She Chongming trained [-] troops in Tiantai, Dishui and Linzhou. He also secretly made friends with An Bangyan. He thought that the imperial court was blind and dared to quibble when things happened. Really? The best thing is not to shed tears without seeing the coffin."

As soon as these words came out, He Ruohai's hands and feet were cold and his face showed fear. He even knew the location of the military training. It seemed that the court was well prepared this time. She Chongming in the courtyard heard this like a bolt from the blue. The training location was in Tiankeng. I didn't expect to be found in the cave. It seemed that the imperial court was conducting thorough investigation and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to leave.

So he asked He Ruohai to come down, stop arguing, and returned to the inner hall. At this time, the She family was already gathering in the inner hall. The whole tense and solemn atmosphere made everyone tremble and be at a loss, and they all looked at She Chongming anxiously. , wanted to know who was outside, and just communicated to see if they could reconcile. Some young children were at a loss. They were held by the wet nurse and their mother and began to cry.

She Chongming looked at such a messy scene and thought that the century-old foundation of the She family might be destroyed, but he still didn't want to sit still and wait for death.

"My son Shechen, Shezheng and Mr. He followed me into the ancestral hall, and the rest of the people stayed here. The walls of Shefu are high and the house is deep. The enemy can't attack for a while. We just need to wait for Sheyin to lead his troops. It’ll be okay.”

This sentence directly blocked the mouths of those who wanted to ask about the situation. No one dared to speak. They could only see She Chongming walking into the ancestral hall with an expressionless face and heavy and slow steps.

She Chongming had four sons, She Yin, She Zhen, She Zheng, and She Chen.

She Yin and She Zhen were brave and brave in battle, so She Chongming asked one of them to stay with him to assist him, and the other to go to Linzhou to train troops.The two younger sons Shezheng and Shechen are still young, so they are still at home.

Things were urgent today, and She Chongming thought that he might not be able to leave, but the bloodline of the She family must not be cut off, and his sons must be sent away.

"Mr. He, I heard that the officer's accent sounded like Northwest dialect. It must have been the Dog Court that sent soldiers from the northwest border town. Those people came quickly and were capable. The Yongning guards led by She Yin were no match for him. He might not be able to come. Well, the Dog Court will not wait any longer, and it is estimated that they will attack soon."

As soon as He Ruohai heard this, he knew that She Chongming was going to explain his funeral arrangements to him. Although he was unwilling to do so, he still knelt down to persuade him.

"Commander, let's go. As long as we escape through the back door and are covered by personal soldiers, we might still have a chance of survival."

She Chongming listened and shook his head. He hadn't done any big things yet, so he definitely wanted to run away, but the question was, did he run away?Any fool knows that he is the main target. Now She Mansion must be surrounded by three floors inside and three outside, and they will definitely not let him go, so now he just wants his sons to escape safely.

So he ignored He Ruohai's words and directly said to the panicked She Zheng and She Chen:
"Kneel down now and give a big salute to Mr. He."

Although the two of them didn't know why, but their father told them, they had no choice but to obey and immediately knelt down and kowtow. When He Ruohai saw this, he immediately stood up and hurriedly moved his hands.

"No, no!"

"Mr. He, you are a man of great talent, and I can do things smoothly with your help. Unfortunately, I did not do things secretly, which led to such a disaster and implicated you. I will not give up until the court catches me today. I can't leave, so I want to entrust Shezheng and Shechen to you, and I will ask my personal guards to escort the three of you through the secret passage in the backyard later. It’s still too late.”

He Ruohai's face showed bitterness when he heard this, but there was nothing he could do about it at this point. He could only nod his head in agreement, and immediately bowed and said:

"I am extremely grateful that a humble commoner can be treated like this by an adult. After escaping, I will escort the two young masters to reunite with She Yin and She Zhen. I will swear to the death to preserve the blood of the She family."

"Okay, remember this time the officers and soldiers are well prepared. Don't fight head-on. There are high mountains in the southeast of Yongning. As long as you hide in them, the officers and soldiers will not dare to attack at will. In addition, Fan Long is my son-in-law. He is loyal and can be reused. , but Luo Qianxiang has always been dissatisfied with me and has been admonishing me to obey the imperial court. Therefore, we must take away his military power, otherwise he will definitely defect to the imperial court."

He Ruohai also knew this and nodded suddenly, keeping these words in his heart.

Seeing this, She Chongming nodded with satisfaction. Just as he was about to say a few more words, he heard a sudden "boom" from outside.

Suddenly, there were shouts of killing, and the guards outside shouted:

"The officers and soldiers are coming in, the officers and soldiers are coming in."

"Kill! Kill!"

"Capture those who worship the Ming Dynasty alive, and you will be promoted to the fourth level, and you will get one thousand taels of silver; kill those who worship the Ming Dynasty, you will be promoted to the third level, and you will get one hundred taels of silver!"
