Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 747 The Battle of Dengzhou
This is a real mocking of death with life, such a drama that changed history, no matter how stupid and lacking in personality this master and slave are, but this double dead man can still stand proudly in front of the top slave owners in the Qing Dynasty Laughed.

Laughter filled the gloomy prison of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The laughing Fan Wencheng, Sony, and other Jianzhou veterans all had ugly faces and trembling hands.

Bang~
A gunshot stopped the laughter. Seeing the dead body double with a bloody hole in his chest turn over and fall down, Fan Wencheng hurried forward to stroke his breath with his hands, and then turned his head in astonishment and heartbroken.

"Regent! You shouldn't have killed this person! Mikishita will definitely open his mouth. Through him, we can wipe out the rebellious party of Oboi and bring Hauge back. This, this..."

"I can't find it anymore!"

Stretching out his hand to shake off the ashes of the flint pistol that the Dutchman gave him, and inserting it back into his belt, Dorgon snorted coldly: "What kind of rebellion can Aobai have, it must be the hands and feet of the southern barbarians and Song thieves. It’s impossible to go to them, to go to Ningguta, North Korea, we can only go to Shandong.”

Taking a breath, Dorgon's eyes became more and more murderous.

"Come on, hurry up and give it to Shanhaiguan General, Jialaerzhen Yunli, and all passers-by in the capital will be arrested at various checkpoints in Shandong Province of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and all of them will be captured!"

Flapping their horseshoe sleeves, Fan Wencheng, Ye Bilong and others knelt down one after another.

"Scum!"

…………

Time is life. Since the capital used the mezzanine of the bathtub to steal Hauge out, taking advantage of the time of these two days, this time they simply changed into Jiannu's public uniforms, and the few people rushed to Shandong for eight hundred miles. The direction informs the arrest of the main criminal Hauge.

These days there is no Internet connection, and the anti-counterfeiting measures of the underlying ruling agencies are even more superficial. Three days before Dorgon's order arrived in Shandong, Song Yongzhong rushed to Dengzhou with the "goods" after rushing for more than 1000 kilometers.

For the sake of secrecy, even Denglai Governor Zhang Haocai did not notify him when he came. When he came back, the selection system had already notified Zhang Haocai, and the Shandong cavalry marched ten miles to meet the rescue team.

Among all civil servants in Ming Dynasty, Zhang Hao is the top one. After all, besides Sun Chuanting, who is now serving as the second assistant, there is also Zhao Sheng, the lamplighter of the new Indian Governor, who is also the oldest. If Song Qingshu becomes the emperor, he will They can all be regarded as Conglong Veteran.

But there is a good saying that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Since the 14th year of Chongzhen, he has been out of the town on a tip of the Liaodong Peninsula. He still has the opportunity to return to Beijing to report on his duties during other festivals, but he can’t leave for a moment. In six or seven years, it was only three times when I went back to see Song Qingshu. Up to now, Daming's nepotism for politics has not faded away. It is not a good thing for political life to alienate the center for such a long time.

Not to mention today, even in later generations, it has become a trend to carry large and small packages to the leaders' family to pay New Year's greetings during the New Year.

Since you can't see the leader, it's the best choice to please the leader's driver, the secretary, and hand over a cigarette if you don't have anything to do, and Song Yongzhong is more than just a driver. His subordinates have held this important position for so long, Song Qingshu's trust in him can be imagined, giving him some warm reception, and letting Song Yongzhong say a few good things about himself when he goes back is also an excellent political investment.

The cavalry greeted them, and they were still at the inner port of Dengzhou City. A large table was set up in the Wangyue Tower enjoyed by the merchants of the Ming Dynasty. If the people entered the customs, they began to enjoy the white-faced steamed buns enshrined by the Han people. They stopped eating dried meat and started eating. Box dishes have begun to become decadent and luxurious, but compared to Daming who has been extravagant for more than 200 years, they are still far behind. Looking at this table of delicious food and wine, Oboi, who has been eating chaffy dishes for more than half a year, has his eyes straightened .

Flying in the sky, running underground, swimming in the water, far away in the New World, more than a dozen dishes are included, and they are not only delicious, but also beautiful, just like those few squids, if they are full of people, they will cook more It's delicious, but in the hands of Chef Ming, it's like an old chrysanthemum, vividly carved.

"Master Song is far away, and the reception is not good, please forgive me!"

Now Song Qingshu has changed a lot even the official uniforms. Although the official uniforms of the Ming Dynasty in the past were quite majestic, just as Mr. Sun Yat-sen thought, the official uniforms that were too long also brought a feeling of being too procrastinating and lazy. It takes more than ten minutes to get dressed, so where is the time for politics?Now the officials of the Ming Dynasty have changed into Mr. Zhongshan’s Chinese tunic suit, and the short gown reveals his trousers. Wearing it on Zhang Haocai, who is already quite fat, looks quite energetic. Of course, the famous Buzi in official uniforms of the Ming and Qing Dynasties has not been eliminated. , sewn as decoration on shirts worn inside.

Full of smiles, Zhang Hao made a gesture of invitation, Oboi couldn't wait to sit down, and the weak Hauge was also supported to sit down, but Song Yongzhong's face was not very good-looking, and he stood aside with his hands tied.

Eating banquets is not a big deal, Song Qingshu doesn't care as long as it's not public funds to eat and drink. Without consumption, how can so many jobs be created to drive the economy?
But this time he was on a secret mission, and the cavalry to greet him was equivalent to revealing his whereabouts, and eating the banquet was equivalent to wasting half a day. The sooner he played the card of Hauge, the stronger it was, and he didn't want to delay it for a second.

"Lord Song, don't worry, these dishes are all paid for by the government itself, and we will never eat or drink with public money!"

Thinking that Song Yongzhong was scruples, Zhang Haocai hurriedly waved his hands and explained with a smile. He was very confident in this point. Most of those who followed Song Qingshu at first were rewarded with shares of the West India Company. Now this share is simply an endless treasury. Zhang Haocai does not need to be greedy at all. , is a rich and powerful millionaire.

Song Yongzhong knew this well, seeing this, he simply cupped his fists with a gloomy expression.

"Master Zhang, the last general must not lose face. He shoulders the heavy responsibility of the empire, and he is restless every second. He really doesn't want to enjoy the hospitality. Please, Master Zhang immediately arrange a ship to go north to meet General Zheng Senzheng!"

"Master Song, don't worry. Zhang has notified the Jinzhou Navy a few days ago. In a few days, the Imperial Squadron will come to pick him up. Besides, Dengzhou City is impenetrable and the Imperial Guards are well-equipped. Mr. Haug is here It's as safe here as in a safe, don't worry!"

"My surname is Song, my master's body is too weak, and he needs to rest after a long journey!"

Immediately afterwards, Hauge also yelled, being in prison is the most tormenting, and Song Yongzhong, who has experienced it, knows what life is like on the ship. He turned around and glanced at the skinny Hauge, he was really hesitant. As soon as Hauge died on the ship, the plan to instigate Ningguta and the two yellow flag rebellion on the Korean battlefield was completely broken.

"General Song, Dorgon is also building a navy in Shanhaiguan recently. Although ordinary merchant ships are rushing for time, once they are intercepted by Jiannu navy, it will be troublesome. Wait a few more days, and there will be an empire." Only with the escort of the navy can we be safe!"

To be an official, you have to watch your words. Seeing Song Yongzhong hesitating, Zhang Haocai added another sentence with a smile on his face. This sentence finally became the last straw that overwhelmed the camel's camel. .

"In this case, the last general should be respectful rather than obedient! Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your hospitality!"

"Where is!"

…………

In the past few days, Song Yongzhong and his party have stayed in Dengzhou City, but Zhang Haocai has not broken his promise. Under Song Qingshu's hands, there is no way out for an idle official like Daming before. He has to report his achievements every quarter, which is also one of his achievements. , while constantly learning about the location of the Imperial Squadron through Asuka, Zhang Haocai also hired a famous doctor to treat Hauge to adapt to the life on the ship that is coming. Hauge began to be lifted up like a piece of bread, and his face turned red, and he was no longer the one who would die when he touched it.

But on the fourth day, what Song Yongzhong waited for was not a ship from Jinzhou on the sea, but the mighty Dorgon army!

These Jian slaves are really like those who fell from the sky. In Denglai, the three sieges were not captured, and the Qing court also acquiesced that this nail was nailed to the side of his couch. It was just to prevent the Han people in the territory from escaping. Nearby, the Qing court fully pulled out a isolation zone that was [-] kilometers wide and [-] kilometers long.

The Ming army set up a lot of guard posts in this section of the isolation zone, but Jiannu came too fast. Almost as soon as the outpost rushed back to report the news, within a minute or two, Jiannu's cavalry had arrived.

Because of the prosperity of trade, and the fact that the Ming army would never let the Qing people enter the city, a large and prosperous town outside Dengzhou City was formed, with many shops. As if it was the end of the world, they abandoned their belongings in panic and crowded into the city to fill up the suspension bridge, but seeing the cavalry approaching, the Ming army in charge of the suspension bridge had to grit their teeth and suddenly pulled up the suspension bridge. The business traveler on the bridge fell into the city like a gourd, and there were people crying outside the city, and some people jumped on the bridge in panic, and finally fell into the river in embarrassment.

Seeing that there was no hope for Ximen to enter the city, more than a thousand Ming merchants fled to the north and south gates in a panic.

At this time, the Qing merchants in the town calmed down quite a bit, and even gloated a little. Many people took the opportunity to send their assistants to move some money and goods from their rival shops to their own shops. Military uniforms and rifle-carrying new soldiers of the Qing army entered the long street in the town. People from these shops immediately stepped forward and knelt on the side of the street to welcome the "Master Wang" to show that they were good citizens.

"Regent, the Ming people have closed the city gate!"

About ten minutes later, wearing an iron tower helmet and traditional armor like Zhengbai Banner, Dorgon also walked into the town led by Baiyala's soldiers, and was immediately led by Zhengbai Banner, Kneeling and kowtowing to report, Fan Wencheng immediately raised his brows worriedly after listening to the report.

"Regent, this Ming bandit is quite capable of defending. The last time Alhahai suffered heavy casualties from Ming's cannons, he had to retreat. This Hauge is in the city, so we probably won't be able to take it easily! Kou's navy comes again, and our army is powerless to stop it. According to the slaves, it is better for the regent to focus on Liaodong. will be in a passive situation."

"Powerless to stop?"

There was a sneer at the corner of his mouth, Dorgon suddenly waved his hand contemptuously: "The most dangerous place may be the safest place, the bandits under Song Dynasty are always cunning, who knows if they will hide Hauge in this town Come on, wash up this town for this king, and leave me with braided hair and bald heads, and I will not stay!"

"Master, kill them all!"

Just now, he put his hands in his sleeves calmly, but the next moment, Fan Wencheng's eyes widened for a moment, and he shouted in disbelief: "Regent, these are all obedient citizens of my Qing Dynasty! Kill them all, I am afraid……"

Indeed, these businessmen with braids were still kneeling on both sides of the road, cheering for themselves, but when they turned their heads, they were about to kill them. Fan Wencheng couldn't accept this change.

It's not that he has never seen bloody, killing, massacre in the past, and Fan Wencheng's cold and cruel heart has not wavered at all, because those are Ming people, but now, in order to kill one person, it is necessary to have thousands of Qing subjects to be buried with him. In particular, banner people neither work nor do business or farm. Apart from being officials, they serve as soldiers. There are thousands of people in this town, most of whom are Han Chinese.

Who knew that before Fan Wencheng finished speaking, Dorgon had already hummed contemptuously.

"It's just some servants of merchants, it's insignificant, kill!"

"Slave...here!"

After saying this, Dorgon had already kicked his horse away. Seeing his uncompromising figure, Fan Wencheng could only hug his fist helplessly.

Dozens of Manchu heavy generals followed Dorgon out of the town, let out a sigh of relief immediately, Fan Wencheng turned his head with difficulty, at this moment, a big fat businessman on the side of the road actually knelt down two steps excitedly When he arrived in front of his horse, he kowtowed and said hello.

"Grand scholar, this slave is the shopkeeper of Dong Zhao's family on East Street, do you remember! The small shop is receiving a copy of West Lake Lion Peak. Knowing how good you are, the master even ordered you to send it back to the capital overnight. , Coincidentally, you're still here!"

"Little Zhangzi, why are you so dazed! Hurry up and get it!"

These words made Fan Wencheng startled again. He turned his head to see a young man running towards the shop excitedly, and the chubby shopkeeper with a smile on his face. The words were squeezed between the teeth.

"The order of the Regent King..."

"Slaughter this town, kill!"

…………

On the top of the city, the Shandong First Division, Second Division and the volunteer militiamen in the city panickedly arranged cannons, muskets and ammunition on the city wall. Amid Zhang Haocai's roar, the Legion was still building barricades in the streets, and even some big shopkeepers Calling for the soldiers to push the cannon into their shop for cover.

The three battles of Denglai have turned the two cities into iron-like fortresses. Many residents have fled from the whole of Shandong and even the capital of Hebei. Here, patriotism is not just a slogan, but a kind of True tradition and spirit, only if the Ming Dynasty does not fall, they can keep their ancestral clothes and wear Chinese costumes like a Ming people, and their children and grandchildren do not need to call themselves masters and slaves to those slaves.

But just when the whole city seemed to be struggling, a dozen cavalry rushed towards the port in a hurry.

One more person here will not be of much use. Don't look at Zhang Haocai as a bit of a philistine. During the years-long defense war, he has already built this peasant army veteran into a defensive master. He is definitely a tough guy, but his own hands Hauge is the key to turning around Northeast Asia. For Ming, it is no less important than ten to twenty divisions or even more.

Pulling Hauge, Aobai, and Song Yongzhong went straight to the port, and shouted loudly while holding up warrants to the chaotic port office.

"This general is Song Yongzhong, the commander of the frontline army. He is destined to send important documents to the empire. He will immediately prepare a boat for him..."

Before the words were finished, the Waiyan port was directly nailed to the observation post on the beach, and the earth-shattering gong was knocked on desperately. Almost at the same time, the callers arranged at more than a dozen points shouted in panic.

"It's Jiannu, Jiannu's fleet is attacking!!!"
