I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 214: Surrender (please subscribe)

She Yin was horrified when she saw Xia Yuan approaching him so quickly, but he couldn't dodge and quickly raised his knife to stop him.

When Xia Yuan saw the enemy general right in front of him, he immediately raised his sword and chopped it off. But at this moment, She Yin's soldiers rushed towards him, pulled Xia Yuan off his horse and threw him down hard. On the stone floor.

Xia Yuan folded his arms in pain and tried to get up, but the soldier, with red eyes, tried his best to hold Xia Yuan down to prevent him from getting away. While holding him down, he shouted in the direction of She Yin:
"Take Master She away quickly! Hurry!"

It didn't matter if he didn't shout out these words. As soon as he shouted, he immediately attracted the attention of Xia Yuan and the soldiers on the three sides, and they all looked at She Yin's position.

Master She is actually from the She family. This is a gift from God. Xia Yuan immediately reacted and shouted directly:
"Quick, quick! Come on, don't let him run away!"

After Xia Yuan also turned over and executed the soldiers with the help of his servants, he immediately stood up and led everyone to kill Sheyin viciously like a hungry wolf seeing fresh meat.

She Yin cursed in his heart. He didn't know whether the personal guard was saving him or harming him. He was still hesitant at the moment. If he ran away, the soldiers with low morale would definitely fall into despair, and there would be no one in the She family to rescue him. If he ran away, it would be over. If he didn't leave, he would probably be buried here.

But Xia Yuan didn't think as much as he did. He only had one idea now, to win She Yin.

Seeing Xia Yuan coming to kill him fiercely, She Yin's bodyguard gritted his teeth and rushed to stop him. However, before he could take a few steps, there was a "bang" sound and he was hit by Xia Yuan's servant with a fire blunderbuss. He vomited blood and foam at the mouth. He fell to the ground unwillingly.

The surrounding battalions blocking them were weak and unable to withstand the menacing Xia Yuan and others. Seeing that something was wrong, She Yin had no choice but to retreat.

But as soon as he left, he gave a signal to the soldiers around him. Seeing that Sheyin wanted to retreat, the soldiers who had been struggling for a long time also saw the opportunity and fled back.

The soldiers in the camp who were still fighting hard in front turned around and saw that the soldiers behind them had withdrawn, and immediately began to run away in a panic.

The army was defeated like a mountain.

"The enemy general has fled. If he doesn't catch him without restraint, he will be killed without mercy."

Seeing the Yongning soldiers beginning to flee, Xia Yuan felt that the overall situation had been decided. He mounted his horse and continued to pursue She Yin, shouting for these Yongning soldiers to surrender.

She Yin also quickly evacuated under the escort of his personal guards. Although he was now defeated and could not care about anything else, the Yongning soldiers who also fled also hindered Xia Yuan's pursuit and gave them an opportunity.

"Withdraw, withdraw!"

The Yongning soldiers at the back vaguely heard that the front was defeated, but they were still hesitant. After She Yin came over, they immediately turned around and retreated with She Yin.

Xia Yuan asked a surrendered soldier and found out that the general named She was actually She Chongming's eldest son. He really regretted it. It would have been better if he hadn't been pulled off his horse just now.

Although he had lost his best opportunity, he still did not want to give up and asked his lieutenant to stay and gather his troops. He continued to lead his army in pursuit.

"My lord can't!"

But the deputy general felt it was absolutely necessary and stopped him immediately.

"The Commander-in-Chief told us to capture the barracks. Although She Yin has escaped, the barracks in the south of the city has not been occupied yet. It is better to gather the defeated troops and occupy the barracks in the south of the city. As for She Yin, he can't escape very far. There will be opportunities in the future. Sir, please put the overall situation first."

But the meat was right in front of him, so how could Xia Yuan give up? At this moment, a messenger came on horseback with an order, arrived in front of Xia Yuan and shouted:

"The commander-in-chief has orders. The She Mansion has been destroyed. She Chongming committed suicide. I order you to quickly attack the city barracks to prevent the enemy from sneak attack."

Xia Yuan had no choice but to let his servants lead the pursuit and lead his troops to the barracks.

At night, the people of Yongning City huddled in their homes and trembled, not daring to go out at all. Although they didn't know what was going on, the cries of killing outside hinted to them that things had changed in Yongning.

The next day, Yongning Guard Yamen.

A huge plaque with the meaning "Mirror Hangs High" is placed on the eaves.

Under the plaque, Wen Yingkui and others were sitting one after another. A civil servant was standing among them, shivering with sweat dripping from his forehead and neck.

"My lords, I really don't know anything about this. This She family is used to being domineering in Yongning Guard, and even I can't take care of it. Besides, I only care about civil affairs and have no idea about the military situation.

I thought She Chongming was training troops in accordance with the instructions of the imperial court and preparing to support Liaodong. How could I have expected that he would be so ambitious and hide his treasonous intentions? I really don’t know, sir. Please be more careful, sir."

"Nonsense, She Chong secretly forged weapons, privately made armor, and purchased gunpowder. Everyone knows about these things. He also trained more than [-] troops in various places in Yongning. How could you not know about it as the magistrate of Yongning? I don't think you are. He colluded with She Chongming and also wanted to rebel."

The magistrate of Yongming County was greatly frightened when these words came out. He was really a scholar meeting soldiers now, and he couldn't explain why. He was living well at first, but when Yongning City was destroyed last night, he thought it was a sneak attack by rebel soldiers.Unexpectedly, the imperial court sent troops to suppress the rebellion, saying that She Chongming was complicit in rebellion. When he heard the news, he immediately felt that something was wrong. He did not know about She Chongming's rebellion, but the imperial court pre-empted the rebellion. This was not an obvious confirmation of his collusion. She Chongming's crime.

"It's unjust, I'm really wronged! I just spent money to buy this small official last year. If it weren't for this small place in Yongning, I wouldn't be in my turn. After I came here, She Chongming did give me some money, saying that he was devoted to everything. I want to serve the imperial court and imitate Shizhu and Youyang Xuanfu Division in sending troops to assist Liaodong. I hope I can speak to him more in front of the Chief Secretary of Sichuan.

I thought this man was quite capable of causing trouble, so I took the money and interceded for him. But I didn't expect that this man was so ambitious and harbored evil intentions, and wanted to rebel against such a treasonous thing. If I knew, I would give him ten Even if I don’t have the guts to agree, let alone disagree. "

Wen Yingkui didn't want to hear more words from him. With a wave of his hand, two soldiers came up.

"What's the use of saying this? You should explain these words to the Chief Secretary of Sichuan."

After saying that, he ignored the county magistrate's cries for mercy and directly asked people to drag him down to be punished.

"I have already sent a letter to the Governor and General Yang, informing them that they have captured Yongning, She Chongming's self-immolation, and asked them to send troops to support quickly. I have calculated that even if General Yang and the Qin appeasement are marching at full speed now, It takes three or four days.”

They had already learned about the distribution of troops in Yongning from Xiao Ge. They knew that Yongning still had more than 3 troops. They immediately felt bad because they also discovered that although She family members were arrested and She Chongming also set himself on fire and died, She Chongming All four of his sons ran away.

This makes them feel troubled and they are afraid of causing complications.

"The whole city was under martial law last night, and arrests started early this morning, but there is no news yet."

Thinking of this, Xia Yuan couldn't help feeling regretful, and immediately stood up and apologized:
"It was all due to his humble duty and omissions that allowed that Sheyin to escape. Please ask the Commander-in-Chief to punish him."

Wen Yingkui waved his hand when he heard this, telling him not to worry.

"It doesn't matter if these people run away. She Chongming is dead now and can't make a big difference. The problem now is how to deal with the [-] rebels. It's fine if they are willing to fight. Once the army arrives, it will be wiped out. I'm afraid they won't be able to shrink back. Come out, there are many mountains and deep forests in the southwest of Yongning, and they are entrenched and hidden in the mountains. It is difficult for our army to attack, and it will eventually become a serious danger."

When this was said, everyone present nodded in agreement. This was the biggest problem.

"Indeed, Qin Xuanfu said before that An Bangyan of Shuixi'an clan had a close relationship with She Chongming, and now Shuixi Xuanfu's mother is She Chongming's sister.

When An was young, his mother She Shehui took charge of the affairs on his behalf, and She Shehui was She Chongming's sister.Now that the imperial court is annihilating the Yongning She family and eliminating hidden dangers, it will definitely offend the An family. What will happen if She Chongming's son is raised by the An family. "

Qin Minping's worries were not unreasonable, but Wen Yingkui knew the truth better than Qin Minping. He knew that the court had already expected this, so he was naturally prepared.

"Don't worry. From now on, the An family can no longer pretend that nothing happened. Many good things can be found from She Chongming's study. Don't worry, the governor has his own arrangements. This She family is planning to rebel against the imperial army. If Anjia rebels against the imperial court, he will not be afraid."

Wen Yingkui finally came from Yansui Town. This surprise attack on Yongning was a great success. He and his subordinates made a lot of money by looting She Mansion last night. This gave him a lot of confidence, and naturally he didn't want to end it easily.

"So in my opinion, instead of worrying about settling down, it is better to think about how to deal with She Yin, Fan Long, Luo Qiankun and others. Now that we have entered Yongning for the first time, we are encountering a big battle. We are short of men and horses. As long as She Yin immediately gathers an army to attack, I'm afraid There are dangers."

This is the big problem right now.

"The enemy forces closest to Yongning are Dishui and Tiantai. Even if a large army comes to attack these two places now, it will only take three or four days at the earliest. Now that Yongning City is under our control, as long as we continue to clean up the rebels in these few days, Waiting for the army to come for reinforcements, it will be more than enough to defend the city."

Qin Minping felt that there was no need to worry about this matter. It was true that he could not conquer the city by attacking, but it was more than enough to defend the city.

"Bizhi is also worried about it. Just now General Wen said that he is afraid that the rebels will merge together. It will be difficult for us to attack the rebels in the mountains. But I know a piece of news and I think we should use it."

Upon seeing this, Xiao Ge also stood up and bowed his head to make suggestions. It was not like he had done nothing while lurking in Yongning during this period.

"Oh, tell me about it"

When Wen Yingkui heard this, he immediately became interested and asked Xiao Ge to speak quickly.

"She Chongming has two generals, one is his son-in-law Fan Long, who is brave but unintelligent, and the other is Luo Qianxiang, but this Luo Qianxiang has always been brave, but he has a bad relationship with Fan Long. He has always been marginalized.

In addition, this person was somewhat deferential to the imperial court, so he often persuaded She Chongming to be deferential to the imperial court. He also had outstanding abilities. If She Chongming hadn't been a talent-loving man and valued him very much, he would have been allowed to lead an army on Tiantai. . "

"But now that She Chongming is dead, Luo Qianxiang had previously suggested that he should be respectful to the court, but now he is afraid that She Yin and others will not like him.

Therefore, I think we can send someone to find Luo Qianxiang and see if we can persuade Luo Qianxiang to lead his army to submit to the court. Even if it doesn't work, we can alienate the rebels and create a feud. "
