Ancestors, please don't crawl out again.

Chapter 63 My family is full of loyal heroes!
Crossroads Inspection Office.

"Kill, kill all these rebels, kill all these troublemakers!
My Sun family is full of loyal and brave people. Today, we will kill all of you traitors for the Qing Dynasty and the Regent!"

Sun Poling, the military governor of Yizhou who was recommended by the Regent of the Qing Dynasty and appointed by the Hongxing Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, stood on the city wall, holding a knife and roaring.

He looked very manic.

Outside the city wall beneath his feet, countless ragged civilians, carrying ladders, various weapons, and even farm tools, were charging the wall. They held crudely made shields or even pot lids on their heads, climbing upward amidst a barrage of arrows, bullets, and rocks, then falling back down. But the people behind them continued to climb...

At this moment, he seemed to see the scene of the ruffians breaking into Zibo and massacring his house.

Although that was also what he imagined.

At that time, he was in the capital to participate in the Qing Dynasty's special examination, so he escaped disaster.

He is Sun Zhixie's son and the only one still alive in the Sun family.

After three months of being tortured to death, his father was finally executed according to law.

In fact, he was swallowed by a dragon in the end.

"Don't be content to starve to death, but rather be like a mantis with its arms raised to the ground. You are a cunning citizen. Isn't it just asking you to change your hairstyle? The golden rat tail, the elegant governance of the new dynasty, how many people want to be slaves but can't. It's been three years, and you still don't repent.

Zhuang Nai, you are also from a noble family, why do you have to go to such lengths for a few strands of hair?
You and I are old acquaintances.

Now I am a soldier, but you have become a bandit, and even the banker has removed you from the list.

I can’t even enter the ancestral tomb!

Why bother?
stupid!
Stupid!"

He shouted to a strong man holding a bow and arrow outside the city.

The latter also saw him and immediately shot the arrow in his hand.

Sun Poling was so scared that he dodged quickly, but he didn't avoid it completely. The arrow grazed his face and hit his ear with a bloody mark, tearing it apart. He screamed and covered his ear quickly, hiding behind a soldier.

"Fire! Fire! Shoot him to death!"

He screamed after the soldiers.

However, the soldier looked up in astonishment, realizing that his surroundings had darkened. Covering his ears, he also looked up, gazing at the sky in astonishment. A strange black cloud was descending, like a mountain falling from the sky, swirling with lightning, about to crash down on their heads. At this moment, not only them, but also Zhuang Nai and his rebels outside, halted their attack and stared at the sky in astonishment, watching the huge black cloud fall.

Because it is just one flower and is surrounded by blue sky and sunshine, it looks like it has a circle of colorful halo.

Like a miracle.

Some people even knelt down.

Sun Poling suddenly had a bad premonition because the lightning was right above his head.

He instinctively ran away.

He also helped the soldier in front of him.

The next moment, lightning suddenly struck with thunder.

Thanks to his early escape, the lightning did not strike him, but hit the soldier instead. The latter's whole body seemed to light up for a moment, then turned black in an instant and fell straight down.

"Run! The thief is using magic!"

A soldier screamed in terror.

The other soldiers were instantly panicked and fled like crazy.

At the same time, countless lightning bolts, like spears cast by gods, struck down without stopping, accompanied by terrifying thunder.

On the small walls of the Xunjiansi city, the fleeing Eight Banners soldiers looked up in despair at the lightning that struck them, turning them into smoking, charred corpses. One general even gave up struggling, kneeling on the wall in the torrential rain to pray to their gods, but his men around him continued to be struck by lightning and fell, convulsing in the rain.

But this spectacular and terrifying scene was limited to the walls of this small town.

Even the rebels on the ladders outside the city were not affected, and the rebel soldiers who were still in the sun all knelt on the ground and worshiped the power of heaven.

Sun Poling huddled under the city wall, holding his head and screaming in fear, watching the Eight Banners Army soldiers being struck to death by lightning in front of him.

then……

A figure slowly descended.

"I just heard you say that the whole family is full of loyal heroes. What does that mean?"

Yang Feng asked curiously.

"I, Zhuang Nai, Deputy Envoy of the Shandong Provincial Surveillance Department and Commander-in-Chief of the Yandong Military, pay my respects to the Emperor Taizu Gao. I inform the Emperor Taizu Gao that he is the son of Xie, the owl-beast."

Zhuang Nai, who was kneeling outside, shouted immediately.

"Wasn't the Xie family of the owl and the leopard exterminated by the rebel army?"

Yang Feng said.

"According to Emperor Taizu Gao, he was in the capital at the time, participating in the imperial examination for the Qing demons, and was not in Zibo. When Emperor Taizu Gao was performing the Lingchi Xiaoxie Zhixie, he was in the capital. As a result, he was appreciated by the Qing demons. After passing the imperial examination, he was promoted above his rank and sent to Yizhou to serve as a military commander. In order to supervise the suppression of me and others, he moved here from Yizhou to supervise the encirclement and suppression. This is how he called himself a family of loyal heroes."

Zhuang Nai said.

"Such a family full of loyal heroes, so let's fulfill his wish!"

Yang Feng was amused.

He then pointed at Sun Poling.

The next moment a tornado suddenly appeared...

"Dragon, the dragon has appeared!"

"Dragon!"

……

There was a scream outside.

A huge dragon head emerged from the black clouds, and the princess on the dragon's back was vaguely visible.

"Emperor Taizu Gao, have mercy on me. Emperor Taizu Gao, have mercy on me."

Sun Poling screamed in horror.

At the same time, his body quickly flew up in the tornado and headed straight for the open dragon's mouth. His screams became louder and louder, and finally he disappeared into the dragon's mouth like a small insect.

Yang Feng turned around and looked at the kneeling rebels below.

"You, half of you will leave to cut off the heads of the Qing monsters as your respective military achievements, and send your families to Andongwei. Stay there and await my orders. The court has already shipped food by sea. You will all be considered the imperial camp. The rest will follow me and continue forward."

He said.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Zhuang Nai said excitedly.

They actually have an official status.

Zhuang Nai was the military governor of Yandong, and another rebel leader, Cao Wusheng, was a lieutenant general under the Shandong general.

It was conferred by Yang Weiyuan.

The Right Censor-in-Chief of the Ming Dynasty's Censorate, Vice Minister of War, and Governor-General of Ji and Liao, had actually always been in Shandong, even commanding a complete civil and military hierarchy, including the Governor-General of Shandong and even the Governors-General of Liaodong and Baoding. However, he was currently hiding in the Jixia Mountain area under siege by the Qing army. Most of the officials he bestowed upon the leaders of the rebel forces across Shandong, who then sought his status and continued to govern their own regions. This group was complex, including gentry unwilling to shave their heads and change their clothes, such as those led by the Song family of Laiyang; hereditary generals of the original garrisons, who, upon learning of the Emperor's arrival but unaware of his actions, impulsively rose up in rebellion, such as the Qi family of Dengzhou; and local heroes, such as the gold miners of the Yu family.

There were also former rebels like Cao Wusheng who accepted the amnesty.

He is a member of the White Lotus Sect.

But it's just a name. After all, in such troubled times, there must be something to win people's hearts.

Anyway, it's just a letter of authorization.

Then they could resist in various places under the guise of court officials.

There is no chain of command either.

Just mind your own business.

The Nanjing court knew all this, and Yang Weiyuan would send memorials to the south by sea from time to time. Han Xin certainly supported this kind of thing, so the titles given to Yang Weiyuan were given by the court. Even if the letters of appointment were not enough, Han Xin would send someone to give him blank ones as a backup.

The King of Qi still had a favorable impression of the loyalists of Shandong. "Emperor Taizu, where should we go next? From here, we go north to Qingzhou and west to Yiyan. The Qing demons still have a large force in Yizhou."

Zhuang Nai asked cautiously.

"Xiangxi, I'm in Yanzhou, and there's someone I want to see."

Yang Feng said.

The person he wants to meet...

Of course it’s Duke Yansheng!
Duke Yansheng had his spine broken by Maxim in the capital, so his lower body was paralyzed and he has returned to Qufu.

Whenever he thought of Duke Yansheng, Yang Feng had a strange feeling, as if the two of them had some kind of fateful bond.

The next day, Zhuang Nai and Cao Wusheng split up their 6,000-strong army. The older and weaker ones escorted their families to Andongwei, where they held out alongside the local military and civilians, relying on the harbor for food from the imperial court. Zhuang Nai and Cao Wusheng led the remaining half to follow Emperor Taizu Gao on his expedition. As for Cao Wusheng's White Lotus Sect...

After experiencing the previous miracles, Emperor Taizu Gao was their faith.

They met up with the soldiers brought by Yang Feng and set off immediately.

Sweep along the way.

All the landlords' strongholds were captured.

They were originally dressed in rags and even had to use farm tools, but now they have been armed.

There are even cavalry.

Zhuang Nai himself was a master of horseback archery. Historically, after his defeat, he even journeyed north alone to assassinate Dorgon, though he missed. By the time they reached Yizhou, their force had grown to over 5,000, thanks to the constant influx of young and strong men along the way. These 5,000 men, accompanied by a full array of imperial ceremonial guards, complete with drums and music, and protected by divine dragons overhead, arrived in Yizhou in a mighty procession. Emperor Taizu Gao rode a divine beast in the van, while two immortal children, carrying Maxims, led the charge.

Before Emperor Taizu Gao could take action, the unruly people in Yizhou City took action and purged all the officials and gentry in the city.

Because there are no Qing troops here.

The Qing army did indeed have a heavy presence in Yizhou, just as Zhuang Nai had said.

But I went to Feixian County.

Because another rebel army larger than Zhuang Nai's was attacking Fei County.

Fei County.

On the hill overlooking the county town.

"Wang Jun, also known as the King of Nine Mountains, was originally a rebellious bandit, but when the Qing demons moved south, he was recruited by Prince Lu and followed him to resist the demons. After Prince Lu fled south, he continued to hold Baodugu. The terrain there is extremely dangerous, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. The Qing demons failed to encircle and suppress them many times, and whenever they retreated, he would attack from outside."

Zhuang Nai pointed to the battlefield in the distance and said.

However, Wang Jun was obviously defeated, although the Qing army was still mainly composed of the Eight Banners Army.

But the Eight Banners Army was actually the regular army of the Ming Dynasty.

These Semites who surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang were incorporated into the garrisons, but were organized separately. Later, the people began to refer to them as "daguan" (officials). This was partly due to their origins, and partly because they tended to stick together, and their conditions were much better than those of ordinary military households. By the late Ming Dynasty, the official authorities also referred to them as such. These "daguan" (officials) existed in various places, and even Guangzhou had two thousand households. Compared to other surrendered Ming troops, they now better met Dorgon's requirements.

After all, they are not afraid of gods.

Therefore, they were directly registered and the Eight Banners Army was organized separately.

"Who is that?"

Yang Feng pointed at the commander of the Qing army and said.

Zhuang Nai quickly bent down and took the telescope handed to him by the fairy boy.

"Zhang Cunren, formerly the deputy commander of Dalinghe, surrendered with Zu Dashou. He had originally gone south with Duoduo, but he fled back with Tunqi."

He said, holding up the telescope.

At the same time, a flash of golden light appeared in his telescope.

He turned around in surprise and found that Emperor Taizu Gao was gone.

And the two fairies were already preparing to shoot.

And right now.

Down the mountain.

Zhang Cunren, the garrison general of Yizhou in the Qing Dynasty, stroked his beard and looked at the battlefield with satisfaction.

Now he has returned to normal...

In other words, they have already overcome the psychological shadow of the Battle of Nanjing.

When he first came back, he even went crazy often. The reason he was thrown here was because Dorgon felt that he was useless and threw him here to suppress bandits as a waste. But after suppressing bandits a few times, or suppressing unruly people a few times, he returned to normal.

"The commander-in-chief is in command. This time, the thief will definitely be captured."

His confidant beside him said with a smile.

"Just bandits."

Zhang Cunren said quite complacently.

The next moment, a golden light flashed in front of him.

"The bandits are also military achievements. This time, the Regent will definitely be against the Marshal..."

The confidant stopped talking and looked at the Marshal in confusion.

The Marshal kept stroking his beard, but his whole body seemed to have turned into a stone statue, motionless, his eyes wide open, his mouth open, looking ahead in a strange way.

"Commander?"

The confidant said cautiously.

"what!"

The Marshal suddenly screamed.

"He's coming, he's coming, I'm going to die, I'm going to die, everyone is going to die, I want to go home..."

Then he danced and screamed.

The warhorse under his crotch neighed in fear, then galloped forward wildly.

The confidant was at a loss.

But at that moment, a golden light instantly pierced through the Qing army on the battlefield, like a sweeping cannonball, leaving countless broken limbs and arms. With just this one blow, the entire Qing army on the battlefield collapsed completely. Although the Eight Banners Da army was the main force, Zhang Cunren still had some Eight Banners Manchu and Han troops with him. They had all fled back from the south. Like their mad commander, the moment they saw this golden light, the horror that had been engraved in their hearts suddenly surged back...

That is their deepest nightmare.

he came.

That devilish man is here.

Run away quickly!

At this moment, they had no other thoughts in their minds except to escape as quickly as possible, the farther the better.

Even those who were fighting against the rebels ignored their opponents, turned around without hesitation, and fled like crazy.

Their escape completely disrupted their own side. The Eight Banners Army didn't understand what was happening until they saw these elite soldiers suddenly turn around and flee, or even crash into them. After all, there must be a gap to escape on a chaotic battlefield. In this case, they had no choice but to follow them, even if they were cursing their teammates, they had to run.

The Qing army collapsed instantly.

"He's coming, everyone is going to die, I want to go home..."

Their commander was still screaming.

Then the fleeing soldiers swarmed past him.

One of them was slow to react and bumped into his horse, and they fell down together.

"Everyone is going to die..."

The crazy Marshal Zhang screamed and got up.

The next moment, he was knocked away by another cavalryman, and as soon as he landed, he was trampled by his subordinates who were unable to dodge in time...
