If you sit at home behind closed doors, disaster will come from heaven.
Shen Shouyue was studying at home, and Zhang Jingyou ran over in a panic, "Mr. Shen, something big happened! Someone reported on it, and Xu Dacheng was arrested!"
Shen Shouyue was stunned, put down the "Zuo Zhuan" in his hand, and suddenly laughed, what should come will eventually come, whether it is a blessing or a curse, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided.
"Zhang Tongzhi, don't panic. The only option now is to revolt immediately. I will summon my servants immediately, and you will quickly inform Tang Sihu, Wang Shen, Monk An, Guan Desheng, and ask them to bring people to meet at Shen's ancestral hall. In addition, you must immediately send someone to notify Ning Guo. "righteous man".
"I have asked Guan Desheng to inform Wang Shen, and Han Wangxi has gone to inform the kings of Ning State. Now go find Tang Sihu and Monk An immediately." Seeing that the ancient well of Shen Shouyue had no waves and was as motionless as a mountain, Zhang Jingyou regained his composure and left Shen Shouyue. Mansion, get on the official sedan to find someone.
As soon as he left, Shen Shouyue immediately called his servants Shen Da, Shen Er, Shen San, and the servants.
The Shen family is a general, and Shen Shouyue's father, Shen Yourong, is a famous general in the Ming Dynasty. During his more than 40 years of military service, he fought against the Mongols and Jurchens. Especially during the Wanli period, he led his troops into Taiwan and Penghu three times, and defeated them. The Japanese pirates and the red-haired Yi people could not find the north, and their names went down in history. Shen Shouyue himself also formed a rebel army to fight against the Qing Dynasty. The servants of their family were naturally different from those of other families. Shen Da led two teams of personal followers, and Shen Er and Shen San each led A hundred men per sentry is completely a military establishment.
Many of them were wanted anti-Qing righteous men and were hiding in the Shen family in the name of domestic servants. Shen Shouyue did not dare to put these heavily armed servants in the city, but hid them in the Shen family manor outside the city. .In preparation for the uprising these days, I secretly transferred them to Shen's mansion. They will be put to good use today.
After a while, two hundred and sixty servants armed with sticks, swords and guns lined up in front of the Shen's Ancestral Hall, neatly and silently, giving the feeling of a strong army.
After a while, I heard people shouting. Tang Sihu came with 150 servants, Wang Shen with 100 servants, Guan Desheng with nearly 300 servants, all came one after another. Seeing Shen Shouyue's servants lined up, They also lined up nearby.
The most exaggerated one is Monk An. He originally only had more than 200 people, but because he was extremely prestigious among the three sects and nine schools in Xuancheng. As soon as he heard that Brother An was going to start an uprising, a bunch of rogues, scoundrels, and hooligans joined in. Some of them were of course... Some have the Ming Dynasty in mind, while others have the bad intention of taking advantage of the chaos to rob. Now it is the time to hire people, and Shen Shouyue does not care about distinguishing the good from the bad, so he orders Monk An to line up the men and horses beside the formation.
After counting the number of people, there were actually more than 1,300 people.
With more people, courage becomes stronger. Shen Shouyue asked Zhang Jingyou: "Zhang Tongzhi, magistrate Zhang Xiansu, where is the garrison bell and tripod? How many soldiers and horses are there?"
"Zhang Xiansu led two hundred battalions, two hundred Zaoli were at the magistrate's office, Zhong Ding led three hundred battalions at the west gate, and the other three gates, east, south and north, each had one hundred battalions."
Shen Shouyue thought: to capture the thief first, capture the king. As long as Zhang Xiansu and Zhong Ding are captured, the uprising will basically be successful.
"Tang Sihu, Monk An, and you two go to attack Ximen and capture Zhongding; the rest of you will go to the prefect's Yamen with me."
"Yes!"
"Okay!"
"Understood!"
Everyone responded in confusion. After all, they were not an army, so they could answer everything. But fortunately, there were many people, so the momentum was strong.
Shen Shouyue asked Zhang Jingyou and Guan Desheng to take several yamen servants and pretend to escort Wang Shen to the magistrate's yamen. He followed closely with his servants, followed closely by Guan Desheng's yamen servants and Wang Shen's servants. .< /p>
Seeing that the servants of the Shen Mansion were lined up neatly and elegantly and silently, everyone secretly admired them and imitated them one after another to rectify their subordinates.
??
The Ningguo Magistrate's Yamen and the Xuancheng Magistrate's Yamen are only separated by one street. Because the Yamen of the Magistrate's Yamen have been sent to arrest Monk An and Wang Shen, the magistrate Zhou Guangzuo and Dian Shi Dai Zaizhong are all at the Magistrate's Yamen.
The prefect Zhang Xiansu waited anxiously, "The chief officer went to arrest someone, why haven't they come back after arresting him for a long time? Is something going to happen?"
Cao Ding, the general judge, said: "Why don't you send someone to ask?"
Zhang Xiansu stared at Dai Zaizhong and said, "Dai Dianshi should go there."
Dai Zaizhong didn't dare to disobey, so he said "yes" and went to find Guan Desheng.
After walking for a while, they met the rebels and Guan Desheng tied him up without saying a word.
"Guan Captou, what do you mean?"
"I have decided to follow Mr. Shen to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. Whether you will join us or be my victim is up to you," Guan Desheng said fiercely.
Dai Zaizhong was paralyzed with fear.
"Brother Guan Xian, please don't be rude." Shen Shouyue said to Dai Zaizhong with a smile: "The people's hearts are clear, who doesn't think about Han? I just got the news that the army of King Jing of the Supervisory State has arrived at the gate of Ningguo. I hope Dai Dianshi can follow him. Let us raise the flag of justice together to fight against the Qing Dynasty."
Dai Zaizhong looked at Guan Desheng's steel knife, knowing that if he dared to say "no", he would definitely die. He sighed deeply and said, "I am willing to listen to Mr. Shen's orders."
"Good", Shen Shouyue praised: "This is a good man of our Ming Dynasty! You follow Zhang Tongzhi, and together with the arrester, you falsely open the gate of the government office."
"Stop, what are you doing?"
The Ning Guoying soldiers guarding the gate stopped Zhang Jingyou, Guan Desheng and others.
"I and the guard have captured the rebel Wang Shen. Open the door quickly. I want to report to the prefect," Zhang Jingyou said majestically to the gatekeeper.
That person was always a meticulous person and asked: "Just now the magistrate ordered Dai Dianshi to find Mr. Zhang. I wonder where Dai Dianshi is?"
"I'm here. If you're so verbose, why don't you hurry up and open the door and let Mr. Zhang in?" Dai Zaizhong appeared.
After meeting Dai Zaizhong, the general manager no longer had any doubts, so he quickly opened the door and let Zhang Jingyou and others enter the house.
The rebels swarmed into the house, and Guan Desheng swung his arm and killed the boss with a steel knife.
"Brothers, follow me and kill!"
Wang Shen, Shen Da, Shen and others led the crowd into the government office.
Once the commander-in-chief was killed, the two hundred garrison troops panicked, and the two hundred Zaoli became a mob and fled in all directions.
Cao Ding, the general judge, also wanted to command Zaoli to resist, but Shen Da swung his sword twice.
"Master, it's not good, the rebels have come in, Cao Tong is dead, please escape through the back door." Zhang Xiansu's family hurriedly surrounded him and opened the back door to escape.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Where do you want to go, Mr. Fu?"
Suddenly I heard a loud laugh, but it was Shen San.
Shen Shouyue asked Shen San to lead some troops to surround the government office, guard the back door, and caught him.
The rebels opened the cell behind the government office and rescued the righteous Xu Dacheng and more than a dozen Ningguoying soldiers. They also searched for the prisoners and found that one person was missing: Xuancheng County Magistrate Zhou Guangzuo.
"Strange, I have sent people to surround the government office. Can this guy fly out?"
Shen Shouyue frowned and shouted: "Search carefully!"
Several volunteers found Zhou Guangzuo and a boy with his face covered in charcoal ash in the firewood pile behind the woodshed.
"Mr. Shen," Shen Shouyue heard someone calling him, turned around and looked, but it was Xu Dacheng who was beaten to a bloody pulp, "'The sky net is vast, sparse but not missing', this boy is Yao Shi who betrayed me. Please Lord Shen to avenge me and my brothers!"
When he met Xu Dacheng, Yao Shi was so frightened that he kowtowed, "Master, please forgive me, Master, please forgive me??"
"Behead them," Shen Shouyue shouted, and looked at the magistrate Zhang Xiansu and the county magistrate Zhou Guangzuo. Leaving these two thieves alone would be a disaster. "Drag them down and kill them both!"
??
Tang Sihu and Monk An's more than 600 rebels marched towards the west city to fight.
"Zhong Shouwei, the rebels are coming to kill you." Report to Zhong Ding from left and right.
"What are you panicking about? Form an array." Zhong Ding formed an array inside the west gate, and at the same time sent people to notify the three sentry troops at the east, north, and south gates, asking them to gather at the west gate.
"Kill!"
More than 500 people from Monk An rushed to the front.
"Shoot! Shoot them to death!"
Zhong Ding ordered the arrows to be fired, and the arrows rained down. The rebels fell to pieces. Some rogues who were among the rebels were so frightened that they ran away.
Inside, there were more than 200 people, holding on to the door panel and remaining motionless. These people were all veterans who had followed Monk An to fight against the Qing Dynasty in various places. They had all participated in uprisings before and had certain combat experience.
Fortunately, the Zhongding tribe is just a guard, not a fighting soldier. There are no muskets, and bows and arrows cannot penetrate thick door panels.
"Brothers, rush with me!"
Monk An roared and led his soldiers towards the Qing army. Tang Sihu gritted his teeth, clenched the sword in his hand, and led his servants to follow closely.
There were many rebels, but the Qing army had a coordinated formation, and they were inextricably killed for a while.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Suddenly two long dragons rushed over, but they were the Qing army sentry commanders from the north gate and the south gate, each leading a hundred men to kill them.
Monk An and Tang Sihu cried out "Bitterness" and had no choice but to resist with all their strength. They were helpless, and they were about to lose the battle.
Suddenly, another wave of people roared in.
However, after Shen Shouyue killed Zhang Xiansu and other captive officials, he led the crowd to meet them.
Seeing that the two were surrounded on three sides, Shen Shouyue urgently ordered Guan Desheng to block the Qing army at the south gate, and Wang Shen to block the Qing army at the north gate. He brought more than 200 men to fight against Zhongding.
"Swish, swish, swish", the Qing army continued to shoot arrows.
Unlike Monk An who used heavy wooden boards to block arrows, Shen Shouyue's servants used thick bamboos and tied them with many bamboo and rattan signs, which were light and strong and could block arrows without affecting the marching speed.
Seeing that the rebels were about to rush forward, Zhong Ding bent his bow and shot an arrow at Shen Shouyue. He hit the target, but did not penetrate. The arrow left a small hole in Shen Shouyue's armor, and there was a crisp "thunk" sound, which was weak. The fall.
Shen Shouyue is wearing armor, the armor left to him by his father Shen Yourong. Different from the ordinary walking armor of the Ming army, Shen Yourong's armor is a specially made heavy armor, weighing fifty-two kilograms, and has extremely strong defensive power. Back then, Shen Yourong wore this armor and killed Mongols, Jurchens, Japanese pirates, and red-haired barbarians (Dutch) with fear.
If you want to shoot through this armor, you have to use a strong bow. Unfortunately, Zhong Ding is just an ordinary general, and he only uses an ordinary walking bow, so the arrow only made close contact with the armor and then landed.
Seeing that someone dared to shoot himself, Shen Shouyue was furious, rushed towards the Qing army, and slashed several people with his sword. This sword was also passed down to him by Shen Yourong. Like ordinary swords, they can only be used for decoration and cannot be used on the battlefield. The difference is that Shen Yourong's sword is a heavy sword, weighing more than thirty kilograms. Cutting off a person's head among thousands of troops is like chopping melons and vegetables.
It would be impossible to wear heavy armor and a heavy sword without excellent martial arts and arm strength. Among Shen Yourong's eight sons, only the fourth, Shen Shouyue, was the strongest and the most skilled in martial arts, so he passed on the sword and armor to his son. Him.
Seeing how brave Shen Shouyue was, the morale of the rebel army was greatly boosted. They fought bravely and defeated the Qing army steadily.
"Brothers from Ning Guoying, we are all Han people, how can we be the minions of the Tatars and rebel with us!"
"Brothers, the rebel army has captured Fuya, please surrender!"
Xu Dacheng took a dozen released Ningguoying soldiers to shout to the Qing army.
As soon as he saw Paoze shouting to him in the past, there was a commotion in the Qing army.
"Let's see, whose head is this?"
Zhang Jingyou shouted and ordered the heads of Zhang Xiansu, Cao Ding, and Zhou Guangzuo to be thrown at the Qing army.
As soon as the Qing army saw the magistrate and the magistrate's head, their morale immediately collapsed. One after another, some people fled, surrendered, and even defected before the battle.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhong Ding turned around and ran away. How could he escape? He was caught up by Shen Er and cut into two pieces with a knife.
The rebels killed and wounded more than 200 Qing troops and captured more than 200 people.
"Kill!"
Suddenly there was another cry of killing. It turned out to be the commander of the Qing army sentry at the east gate. He received Zhong Ding's military order and rushed there with a hundred men. The east gate was far away from the west gate. When he arrived, the battle was already over.< /p>
The sentry commander was a smart man. When he saw the prefect, all the defenders were dead, and the rebel soldiers were numerous. He immediately knelt down in front of Shen Shouyue and said, "I heard that Mr. Shen and all the martyrs rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, so I specially brought troops to help."
