Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 213 Beheading
Time went back to a day ago, Xuejiaji not far from Qufu City.

The two Ming armies happened to meet here.

Qin Botong patted his sore calves, stood on a low hill, looked at the guards in front of him leaning against the village wall, and said nothing; behind him were five thousand new guards. After some actual combat and several months of training, they have a strong military spirit. In addition, their commander Qin Botong himself is a very good morale booster, so there is nothing to fear when looking at the tens of thousands of guards in front.

And this group of guards was brought by the inspector censor Zhang Dongen and the general Liu Zeqing. The inspector censor Zhang Dongen has the power to manage the army and the people from the horse, and he is also a civil servant, so he saw Qin Botong The imperial guards didn't feel scared, but walked over arrogantly: "This official is Zhang Dongen, the patrol censor. What kind of thieves are in front of me, who dare to offend the hinterland of Shandong Province. Seeing my imperial army Come down quickly!"

Zhang Xunyong had been in Shandong all the time, and he didn't know that the standard military uniform of the imperial guards was different from that of the ordinary Ming army, so he regarded Qin Botong and others as rioters. However, seeing that the group was large and orderly, Zhang Xunyan was also a bit puzzled by the majestic and majestic thieves who were secretly training in Xuzhou, Huguang and other places. Otherwise, they would not have entered Shandong so easily. It is easier than the Tatars breaking through the barrier.

"You're the bloodthirsty thieves. Listen to me. We are the imperial guards led by His Majesty the Emperor. We have come to Shandong to put an end to the chaos. You'd better retreat quickly, otherwise don't blame us." You're welcome!"

Yi Gongmao, the vanguard officer of the imperial guards, the commander of the first battalion of the temporary new army in Xuzhou, shouted a few words.

But Zhang Dongen, the censor of the inspector, couldn't help but feel tight when he heard it. After thinking to himself, he couldn't help but said to Liu Zeqing: "General Liu, it seems that these people are probably the imperial guards, and I'm afraid they came to Shandong. It is to seize our military power, and at the same time eradicate Yan Shenggong and other local officials and gentry forces."

"So, His Majesty is going to be serious?" Liu Zeqing asked with some doubts.

Zhang Dongen, the inspector censor, nodded: "Yes, the top priority now is not to let this group of imperial guards enter Qufufu, otherwise none of us will survive. If I will persuade you later as the inspector censor If you can't stop, you can let your people fight back quickly, catch him by surprise, it is best to annihilate them! Even if the court finds out, I insist that they are thieves, and they have no reason to go!"

"Zhang Xunyan, I'm afraid this will be difficult. I've heard for a long time that the imperial guards are brave and good at fighting, and they dare to fight hard against the Tartars. We guards are no match for them," Liu Zeqing said with a smile.

"It's useless, this Imperial Guard is just a newly formed Imperial Guard in Xuzhou. A few months ago, it was a group of common people. What are you afraid of!"

Zhang Dongen said so, Liu Zeqing had no choice but to make the archers and the firearm battalion ready.

The inspector censor Zhang Dongen came over and shouted loudly: "The matter of fighting the chaos has been taken care of by my Shandong General Liu. You should retreat quickly. If you dare to enter our Shandong territory at will, my official I will regard you as a rebellious party that intends to rebel, and I will never forgive you when the time comes!"

"What are you, dare to threaten us, we have His Majesty's decree!"

When Yi Gongmao was talking, Liu Zeqing suddenly waved his hand, and suddenly a row of firearms soldiers shot towards the imperial guards.

Yi Gongmao's first battalion was caught off guard. Seeing that several of his men had died, and everyone was stunned, he couldn't help cursing: "You are so stupid! Is the guy in your hand a fire stick?" , Call me back!"

When Yi Gongmao said this, the commander at the bottom hurriedly shouted: "Line up, load the gunpowder!"

clap clap!

The Temporary Guards of the First Battalion quickly restored order after a brief disturbance, and automatically retreated a certain distance. The distance within firing range.

Immediately, a round of counterattack by the imperial guards caused these guards to fall to the ground one by one like cut rice, and some guards ran away with their heads in their arms.

Liu Zeqing turned around and glanced at Zhang Xunyong: "Zhang Xunyong, this is not a recruit, he is much better at handling firearms than my guardsmen."

After Liu Zeqing said that, he retreated with his guards, and Zhang Dongen also followed silently.

After catching up, Qin Botong said, and couldn't help cursing: "You useless thing, you were so proud just now, Yi Gongmao, let me catch up and beat their butts, you can't lose a few brothers in vain."

After Yi Gongmao got the order, he led his men to chase after him directly.

At the same time, Qin Botong turned to Lu Yuanda, the commander of his new cavalry battalion, and said, "Your Majesty has ordered that if you encounter resistance along the way, you can commit the crime of treason and wipe it out. If this ignorant guy in front of you dares to provoke us, we will Simply put him in the pot, you were brought out by that fellow Oboi, bring your cavalry to Lao Tzu, and cut him to pieces."

"Order!"

As Lu Yuanda said that, he rushed over from the left and right wings with [-] elite cavalry. The speed was very fast, like a stream of iron, directly rolling over the plain, and directly rushing into Liu Zeqing's large army.

Liu Zeqing also wanted to organize archers to shoot arrows, but while these lazy guard soldiers were still dawdling in drawing their bows, the new cavalry handguns in the hands of the cavalry battalion had already been developed first.

The sound of crackling beans was really like a massacre. If the withdrawal just now was orderly, then the guards now have a real collapse when they meet each other.

And Yi Gongmao's First Battalion of the Imperial Guard followed behind, almost all the guards were killed, and only Liu Zeqing and Zhang Dongen fled in haste in the end.

Zhang Dongen and Liu Zeqing, the dignified censors who patrolled hunting on behalf of the emperor, were escorted to Qin Botong.

Zhang Dongen also wanted to put on his civil servant demeanor, and scolded: "I am the inspector censor, you'd better let me go, otherwise I will definitely join you!"

Qin Botong didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned his horse's head, and when he was about to move on, he ordered: "Cut it right away!"

Zhang Dongen was taken aback, but Liu Zeqing was also dumbfounded when he heard it.

Xu Zu, the commander who assisted Qin Botong to train troops in Xuzhou, couldn't help persuading him: "Commander, this is not right. This person is also an inspector censor, and he can stand shoulder to shoulder with the governor in a province."

"Who cares about the censor, if you block Lao Tzu's way, you are disobeying His Majesty's decree, and I will chop off his head! Execute the order!"

When Qin Botong said this, Xu Zu couldn't object, and the law enforcement team also came out and dragged Zhang Dongen and Liu Zeqing to the side of the open space.

"General, spare your life!"

As soon as Liu Zeqing yelled, this hero who would have become one of the four towns in Jiangbei in the history of Nanming was dead.

And Zhang Dongen, the inspector censor, just shouted: "You can't kill me" before he was beheaded with a knife.

At this moment, Yi Dongchang fanzi suddenly appeared, holding a token in his hand and shouting loudly: "The front is Qin Botong from Xuzhou."

"Exactly!"

"Your Majesty ordered your troops to rush to Qufu as soon as possible, and you are restricted to take control of the city defenses of Qufu County before sunset today, and the cavalry will immediately go to Kongyan Shenggong Mansion to help wipe out the rebels!"

　There will be another chapter in a while, anyway, the next chapter will be a fierce counterattack, and the plot is coming to an end
