"Hey, how dangerous it is! The road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the sky! There are thickets of silkworms and fish, how can the founding of the country be at a loss??"
Chen Bangyan, the governor of Sichuan, followed the order of Zhu Hengjia and led eight hundred warriors to appease Sichuan. The climb along the Shu Road made Mr. Chen panting from exhaustion, and he recited "The Road to Shu is Difficult".
"Good! Mr. Futai did a great job with this poem!"
Chen Bao, a dark, tower-like man, clapped his hands and applauded.
Chen Bangyan blushed, and wanted to tell Chen Bao that this poem was written by Mr. Taibai, and that he was just reciting the poems of his predecessors. But he was afraid of losing Chen Bao's face. Although this person was only a junior from the sixth grade Zhongwu School
He was a lieutenant, but he was a personal guard of Zhu Hengjia. The supervisor said that he was an "enemy of ten thousand people", so he did not want to embarrass him too much.
At this time, Chen Bangyan is no longer the passionate young man who punished corrupt officials and Qiu Ziqi two years ago. The ups and downs of the officialdom have made him restrained.
"Captain Chen, how long does it take to arrive in Xuzhou?"
"Futai, we'll be there tomorrow."
"Okay, let the soldiers and civilians have a rest."
On this trip to Sichuan, Zhu Hengjia not only gave Chen Bangyan 800 elite soldiers, but also a batch of grain and sent 3,000 civilians to transport it.
Sichuan has suffered from continuous wars, and the people have stopped and gone seven times. Along the way, there have been no roosters crowing for thousands of miles, white bones are exposed in the wild, and in some places, tigers have become a disaster.
Seeing Chen Bangyan's heart agitated, he was the governor of one side and had the responsibility to protect the people. Even if he was shattered to pieces, he would re-govern Sichuan into a land of abundance.
"Ling Ye, you have come from afar to work hard. I have prepared some wine. Come on, please!"
Governor's Office of Yibin County, Xuzhou, Sichuan, Governor Fan Yiheng of Sichuan cordially entertained Chen Bangyan.
Fan Yiheng, whose courtesy name is Jundai, is from Yibin. He was a Jinshi in the 47th year of Wanli. He lived in Sichuan for many years and resisted Zhang Xianzhong and the Tartars, and he worked hard and made great achievements.
Chen Bangyan looked at this senior scholar, who was nearly twenty years older than himself, and did not dare to neglect: "Brother, please."
The two sat at the table, accompanied by Qian Bangqi, an old minister of Longwu and the Sichuan governor. After Emperor Longwu died, Qian Bangqi surrendered to Zhu Hengjia.
"This time, the supervisor asked me to bring a batch of food to the governor."
"Oh, this is great. Nowadays, except for three places in Sichuan, people's livelihood is in decline and there is a lack of food!"
"Oh, which three places are they?"
"One is Baoning, which is occupied by the Tatars. Baoning is close to Shaanxi and has not been affected by the war; one is Jiading Prefecture controlled by General Yang Zhan. He loves the people like his sons and makes Jiading very prosperous; and the other is Chongqing Prefecture.
Near the Shizhu Xuanfu Division, there is the old general Qin Liangyu there, and Zhang Xianzhong and the Tatars dare not harass it. It is the paradise of Sichuan."
Upon hearing Qin Liangyu's name, Chen Bangyan stood in awe.
She was a famous female general in the Ming Dynasty, a heroine who was named Marquis of Zhongzhen as her daughter, and also the Taibao and the Prince Taibao!
The old general Qin fought for the Ming Dynasty in the south and north all his life, and his stone pillars and white pole soldiers were famous all over the world. He pacified the Yang Yinglong Rebellion in Bozhou and the She'an Rebellion. He defeated Zhang Xianzhong and eliminated the rogue bandits. He helped Sun Chengzong build the Daling River, especially the bloody battle at Hun River, where he killed many people. Tartars are timid.
Chen Bangyan didn't know that the seventy-four-year-old Qin Liangyu was now bedridden and his life was about to come to an end.
"Brother Jun, the supervisor of the country asked me to patrol Sichuan this time, and only 800 soldiers were given. It is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Can you borrow some soldiers from General Qin?"
Fan Yiheng had a troubled look on his face. Qian Bang on the side interrupted and said: "My dear, you don't know something. The puppet King of Chu is attacking Shili, and the old general of Qin has asked Governor Fan for help."
Chen Bangyan was stunned: "Wasn't the King of Chu killed by Zhang Xianzhong? Where did this King of Chu come from?"
??
Along the Sanjiang River and Hulu River in Shizhu, Ma Wannian, the envoy of Shizhu Xuanwei, and his younger brother Ma Wanchun are inspecting defense.
General Qin Yiming, generals Qin Zuoming and Qin Zuoming hurried over to accompany him.
"Cousin, how powerful is the army of the Puppet King of Chu?"
"The envoys of Xuanwei, Zuo Ming, and Zuo Ming have fought with them several times. The enemy troops Li Zhanchun, Yu Dahai, and Youyang Ran's local soldiers are stronger, and the others are just a mob."
Ma Wannian frowned: "Ran Tianlin and Ran Tianyu of the Ran clan of Youyang have joined the false king of Chu. They are local snakes and are familiar with geography. This battle is not easy to fight."
Shi Ling Xuanwei's envoy Ma Wannian is in his thirties this year. He is the grandson of Qin Liangyu. He is extremely brave. He likes to wear silver armor and ride white horses. He often rides alone into battle and takes the heads of enemy generals. He is called "Little Zhao Yun" in the army.< /p>
Qin Yiming, Qin Zuoming, and Qin Zuoming are all nephews of Qin Liangyu and veterans on the battlefield.
"Don't worry, Ambassador Xuanwei. In the war, who can we, the white-armed soldiers, be afraid of? If the false king of Chu dares to cross the Sanjiang River, he will definitely be beaten to death."
The "white-pole soldiers" of the Tujia people are a force mainly armed with white-pole spears. This kind of spear was created by Qin Liangyu, Marquis Zhongzhen of the Ming Dynasty and the commander-in-chief of Sichuan. It is made of strong white wood and is equipped with a long pole. It is a bladed hook with a hard iron ring underneath. During combat, the hook can be cut or pulled, and the ring can be used as a hammering weapon. When necessary, dozens of spears with hooks and rings connected together can be used as a tool for climbing mountains and walls. The cliffs can be climbed instantly, making them very suitable for mountain operations.
The Tujia people were Hanized earlier in history. By the Ming Dynasty, their costumes were no different from those of the Han people. But as soon as they picked up this white pole, their opponents would immediately know that the Tujia white pole soldiers were coming.
Ma Wannian paused for a moment and said seriously: "The old lady is ill. This time, the number of enemies is several times ours. Everyone should cheer up and not be careless, so as not to worry the old lady."
??
"Call!"
Zhu Rongfan reined in his horse by the Sanjiang River and looked far into the distance. On the other side, there were rows and rows of white-pole soldiers. The barriers were tight and orderly. He couldn't help but sigh: "The white-pole soldiers are indeed worthy of their reputation. The Tujia people are worthy of being the 'Queens of White Tigers'."
', If it weren't for Gu Ning Food, I really wouldn't want to hit this stone pillar!"
Zhu Rongfan is not a simple person.
He is a descendant of the Tongcheng King of the Chu vassal of the Ming Dynasty. His status in the clan is very low, and he is just a lieutenant in the country. Originally, an idle clan with no money and no soldiers was not qualified to stir up trouble, but he made some magical moves.
, actually supervised the country in eastern Sichuan, claiming to have more than 100,000 troops.
After Zhang Xianzhong's army captured the Chu palace, Zhu Rongfan fled into Zuo Liangyu's army and pretended to be the "prefecture king". All the generals hated him, so they fled to Nanjing. He bribed Ma Shiying and asked him to appoint him as a general to supervise the Chu camp, which almost failed
Provoked a mutiny; the Zhongzhen Battalion entered Huguang, and he rejoined the Dashun army, claiming to be the "Crown Prince of Chu". The Dashun generals were very happy at first and wanted to make him king. Later, they suspected that Zhu Rongfan was faking it and accepted Zhu Hengjia's offer to recruit him.
Stop.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Zhu Rongfan fooled around for a while and achieved nothing. But he did not lose heart and wandered around various places, dealing with various forces.
Zhu Youlang proclaimed himself emperor in Wugang. He felt that an opportunity had come, participated in the support, and bribed the eunuch Pang Tianshou (who served successively in Chongzhen, Hongguang, Longwu, and Yongli four dynasties) with a large sum of money to Zhu Youlang, and was awarded the title of head of the clan.
He was not satisfied with this official position in name only, and wanted to seize some real power. Hearing that there were many soldiers in Sichuan and no one to control them, he sent a petition to Sichuan to liaise with the various ministries. Emperor Yongli appointed him the right minister of the Ministry of War and concurrently
The official title of Youqiandu Censor, Governor of Sichuan Eastern Sichuan Army.
As a result, not long after entering Sichuan, news came that Wugang City had been destroyed and Emperor Yongli had died.
He simply called himself the Crown Prince of Chu, deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and later the King of Chu. He contacted Li Zhanchun, Yu Dahai, Yang Bingyin, Bai Jiaolong, Yang Chaozhu, Tan Wen, Tan Yi, Tan Hong, Yang Zhan, and Ma Yingzhi, and he became very powerful.
.
In the summer of the 20th year of Chongzhen, Lu Guangzu, the commander-in-chief of Fuzhou in the Qing Dynasty, led his army down the Yangtze River in an attempt to open up the Sichuan-Hubei waterway. Zhu Rongfan ordered Li Zhanchun to lead a naval division in the sea to block the attack. On July 11, the two armies met in Zhongzhou. The Qing Dynasty
The army had a lot of equipment and was not used to fighting on the water, so it was defeated by Li and Yu.
After the victory in the first battle, Zhu Rongfan contacted the hereditary generals of the Zhongzhou Guard Tan Wen, Tan Yi, Tan Hong, Yaohuang Hujiusi, Jing Keqin, Chen Lin and other troops to join the Ming army in southern and western Sichuan and recapture Chongqing in September.<
/p>
At this time, Zhao Ronggui, the Longhou of Ming Dynasty who was entrenched in Long'an, contacted Zhu Hualong of Songpan; Zhan Tianyan of Maozhou; and Wu Dading of Zitong, Mianzhou, joined forces to attack Baoning. This frightened the Qing Sichuan governor Li Guoying (who took over after Wang Zuntan died of illness) and concentrated in Chengdu.
The commander-in-chief Hui responded to the imperial edict, the commander-in-chief Ma Huabao from Xu Ma, the commander-in-chief Lu Guangzu from Fuzhou, the commander-in-chief Bai Yongfu from Yongning, the commander-in-chief Zuo Ming from Longan, and the troops from the five towns huddled in Baoning.
The situation was great, with successive battles and victories, Zhu Rongfan's ambitions began to expand. You, Zhu Hengjia, a branch of the branch can supervise the country. Although Yu has a low title, he is of the blood of Taizu, so why can't he supervise the country?
Therefore, Zhu Rongfan claimed to be the superintendent of the country, and made a golden seal for the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses. He changed Zhongzhou to Dadingfu, and the gate of the mansion was changed to Chengyun Gate. There was Tianzi City near the river in Kuizhou, and the situation was quite dangerous, so Zhu Rongfan changed its name.
It was the emperor's city and his palace. Li Zhanchun, Yu Dahai, Yang Chaozhu, Tan Hong, Tan Wen, Tan Yi, Yang Zhan, Ma Yingqi were granted the title of Hou Bo, and Liu Weiming, Yang Bingyin, Bai Jiaolong and others were granted the title of chief seal officer.
With Zhang Jing as the Minister of War, Cheng Zhengdian as the Governor of Sichuan, and Zhu Yunjiu as the Governor of Huguang, there are also officials such as Jijiu, Kedao, and Honglu Temple.
Not to mention, his fabricated identity as the Prince of Chu actually worked, gathering more than 100,000 people at once.
There are too many soldiers and they need to eat. Sichuan is in ruins and has no food.
Zhu Rongfan asked Mrs. Qin, Shi Dian, to borrow grain, but Qin Liangyu refused.
Qin Liangyu was loyal to the Ming Dynasty all his life. The Ming Dynasty clan borrowed food, why not? The trouble caused by bragging.
This Zhu Rong Fan was just a branch of the King Tongcheng of Chu Fan, but he boasted about it. He first said that he was the king of the county, then he boasted that he was the crown prince of Chu King, and later he boasted that Emperor Yongli made himself the deputy marshal of the world's troops before his death.<
/p>
Qin Liangyu laughed after hearing this. The old lady had fought so many battles with Zhang Xianzhong, so she naturally knew that the direct bloodline of King Chu had been completely killed by the eight kings. Where did you, the crown prince of King Chu, come from? In the world,
Deputy Marshal of the Army and Horses, a non-prince in this dynasty cannot hold this position. Emperor Yongli has his own prince, so why would he grant you this position?
Qin Liangyu concluded that this Zhu Rongfan must be a charlatan who came out of nowhere and used the name of the clan to deceive. She heard that Fan Yiheng, the governor of Sichuan, had surrendered to Prince Jing Zhu Hengjia. The old lady always respected Fan Yiheng's reputation. This
Although Prince Jing has a sparse bloodline, he is after all a legitimate vassal king of the old Zhu family. He also controls several provinces and has many soldiers and generals. He is much stronger than that liar of unknown origin. So he also surrendered to Zhu Hengjia.
Zhu Rongfan failed to borrow food from Qin Liangyu, so he became angry and gathered more than 100,000 troops to attack Qin Liangyu.
Qin Liangyu asked Sun Tzu to lead the troops to resist, and at the same time sent envoys to Fan Yiheng to report the situation.
??
"You lead the elder brother, open the young elder brother, and Zhongzhenhou is loyal to the court, and promptly sends troops to rescue him."
Chen Bangyan said firmly.
Fan Yiheng had a troubled expression on his face: "But my governor-general's Biao camp only has two thousand soldiers, and together with the eight hundred elite soldiers in the field, it is less than three thousand. How can we rescue them without soldiers?"
"Why not ask all towns to send troops to join forces in Yibin and join forces to rescue Marquis Zhongzhen?"
Qian Bangqian said angrily: "Your Majesty, you don't know something. Each of these vassal towns in Sichuan only knows how to separate itself. They don't take the imperial court seriously. The governor and I have decrees not to go out of Xuzhou. Let them send troops.
, may not be willing."
Chen Bangyan smiled: "No problem, this is just a touchstone. Those who are willing to send troops are loyal officials of the court and can be reused; those who are unwilling to send troops must have a rebellious heart and will be attacked and destroyed sooner or later."
