Chapter 453 Sichuan (2)

 Li Chengjue, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Army's West Route Army, was a fierce general. He was famous for his bravery in the Great Western Army back then. His combat style was characterized by one word: fast.

As fast as a whirlwind, traveling day and night, we rushed from Nannan County to Zitong in just seven days.

The main force of the Qing army was in Langzhong. Zitong only had a total of 300 soldiers plus a garrison of 700 soldiers, and a thousand soldiers stood sparsely on the city wall.

When Li Chengjue's vanguard Zhang Yaocui arrived, the defenders thought it was a grain transport team sent by the Qing army in Langzhong. When they found out it was the Ming army, they didn't even have time to close the city gate.

Zhang Yaocui quickly entered the city, then quickly broke through the city and captured ?Tong.

"Vice General Zhang, you fought well in this battle!"

Li Chengjue gave a rare compliment. The mayor has always been strict and seldom praises others.

Zhang Yaocui's face lit up after actually being praised by the general town, and he quickly said humbly: "This is all a blessing from the Lord. The general town has a good command, and it is not the power of a weak general."

"Okay, don't say any more. Take a rest and leave for Jianzhou in an hour."

Li Chengjue only let his men rest for an hour before continuing to set off. There is no fastest, only faster, which is the style of the commander-in-chief.

The Ming army advanced to the northeast and was blocked by the Xiaotong River, a tributary of the Jialing River. It only took half a day to quickly build a raft and cross the Xiaotong River.

It only took three days to reach Jianzhou City.

Later generations of experts who studied the Battle of Pingchuan of the Ming Army joked that Li Chengjue’s troops of the Ming Army were not necessarily the best at fighting, but they must be the fastest. This was completely different from the slow-tempered Peng Mingyang. The Battle of Pingchuan mainly relied on this

Hengha Second General.

??

"Only the gate of Shu is a solid town, which is called Jiange. What is a sword? It refers to the seventy-two peaks of Dajian Mountain arranged like sharp swords" ("Jiange Inscription" by Zhang Zai of Jin Dynasty)

Jianzhou is an important town in Sichuan, where Hengwen once established Jiange County.

Although the terrain is dangerous, there are not many soldiers and horses, and most of the elite soldiers have been transferred to Langzhong. However, there are still soldiers. Gao Minzhan, the governor of Sichuan in the Qing Dynasty, had 2,000 governor's battalions stationed here, and there were another 1,000 garrison troops.<

/p>

It was already night, but Gao Minzhan refused to fall asleep. He angrily wrote furiously in his study, writing excerpts to impeach a person: Wu Sangui, King of Pingxi.

Since Wu Sangui suffered a big defeat in Jiading, he has been afraid of the Ming army and has hid in Pingwu City and refused to fight. I heard that this guy has great ambitions. After killing four of the eight Jiarong tribes last time, he won

With a population of tens of thousands, they also recruited refugees from the mountains and organized sergeants to farm in Maozhou, Anxian, Weizhou, Wenchuan, Shifang, and Luojiang counties in Chengdu Prefecture in an attempt to be self-sufficient. They had more than 30,000 elite soldiers, but they refused to fight for the Qing Dynasty. Ming Dynasty

The army had already entered Sichuan, and Li Guohan Ezhen and Governor Li Guoying ordered it to send troops for reinforcements again and again, but they refused to obey the order.

What is this called? At a small level, it is called supporting the troops and respecting oneself; at a large level, it is a disobedient heart and a desire to rebel!

Since it was felt that Wu Sangui wanted to rebel, the loyal governor Gao of the Qing Dynasty naturally wanted to impeach him, "The governor of Sichuan, Gao Mingzhan, would like to report that Wu Sangui, the king of the West, was committing illegal acts and plotting evil things in order to pacify the king of the West: I heard that a reckless person is pliable on the outside but treacherous on the inside?

?"

The conflict between Gao Mingzhan and Wu Sangui has been going on for a long time. When Governor Gao first took office, he was short of funds for activities and asked Wu Sangui to borrow 30,000 taels of silver for emergency purposes. Unexpectedly, Wu Sangui refused to give it. Also, to pacify the King of the West, how could he take a small

The governor takes it seriously.

Thus, the bridge was formed.

This time Li Guohan and Li Guoying ordered Wu Sangui to send troops to help, but Wu Sangui lingered and refused to send troops. Gao Mingzhan felt that the opportunity had come and took a copy of him.

Poor Wu Sangui, at most, he was just a self-respecting soldier and did not listen to orders. In the words of Governor Gao, he became "lawless and plotting evil".

Governor Gao was talented. He wrote the impeachment details in one swipe. He was eloquent and full of black material. He was confident that if he handed over this information, it would be enough for Wu Sangui to drink a pot.

After finishing writing, he felt refreshed and suddenly heard the "bang, bang, bang" sound of the watchman's clapper, and it turned out to be midnight. Governor Gao thought of the delicate white and pink body of his newly adopted concubine, and his heart trembled.

It was hot, so I got up and walked to the wing.

At this time, at the foot of Jianzhou City, the Ming army was ready.

"Headquarters, the last general requested to go to the city." Lieutenant General Bai Jiaolong asked Li Chengjue to fight.

"Go ahead, remember, sneak up to the city, make your voice as low as possible, and try not to alert the defenders."

"Yes!"

Bai Jiaolong took the order, led five hundred dead men, and sneaked towards the city wall secretly. He was a thief by background, so he was familiar with this kind of thing.

The selected section of the wall was inspected by scouts and had the fewest defenders.

Several long ladders were quietly put up on the wall stacks. Bai Jiaolong led the dead soldiers up the ladder and climbed quickly.

When we reached the city wall, we were very lucky. There were only a few soldiers sleeping soundly and no one noticed.

With a gesture from Bai Jiaolong, his subordinates killed the sleeping Qing army. The Ming army came to the city one after another, and in the blink of an eye, more than a hundred people came up.

A small fire dragon moves from far to near, and the Qing army on patrol at night has arrived.

Bai Jiaolong made another gesture, and his subordinates hid in the darkness.

"For what?"

The Qing troops on patrol at night shouted and asked.

"Brother, I'm one of my own. It's late at night, so I want to pay you a little compliment."

"Damn it, you didn't find a good place to pee, you pee on the city wall, you're so horny," the night watchman cursed.

Bai Jiaolong chuckled, "It's not cool for a boy to pee," and led a few dead men to quietly approach.

"Yeah! Ming~"

The night watchman suddenly discovered that the armor was wrong, and before the word "jun" was uttered, the head was chopped off.

After five hundred dead soldiers boarded the city, they quickly killed the defenders and seized the city gate.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The Ming army swarmed into the city.

??

In the back hall of the governor's yamen, Gao Mingzhanzheng happily discussed the meaning of life with Xin Na's concubine. The concubine's body was very soft, lingering and gentle, and she couldn't bear to leave her.

"Futai, it's bad, the Ming army has invaded", people from left and right came to report in a hurry.

"What? Ming army!"

Gao Mingzhan shivered and quickly dressed.

More than two hundred governor's battalions were assembled. When they climbed up the wall of the Yamen, they were so horrified that there were Ming troops outside the wall, at least thousands of them.

"Futai, I will escort you out at the end", but it is General Biaoying.

"Ke~ke~ke~"

Governor Gao, a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, had his teeth chattering and rattling, "I can't rush out anymore. I'm going to surrender."

After saying that, he gave up his weapons, opened the door, knelt down and asked for surrender.

Li Chengjue interrogated Governor Gao in the study with a smile, "Are you the pseudo-Qing governor Gao Mingzhan? If you want to surrender, why not surrender early? Isn't it too late to surrender after our army breaks the city?"

Gao Mingzhan said with a mournful face, "The sinner has long wanted to return to the Ming Dynasty, but Commander, your magic soldiers descended from the sky, and the sinner had no time to surrender!"

"Putchi", Li Chengjue was happy. He was indeed marching faster along the way.

Anxiously, I saw a book on the desk in the study. When I opened it, it read: "The governor of Sichuan, Gao Mingzhan, would like to report that Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, was committing illegal acts and plotting evil things. I heard that these reckless people have a pliable appearance.

Is it really treacherous??”

He asked curiously: "You have a grudge against Wu Sangui? Why impeach him?"

Gao Ming's blessing comes from his heart, "Commander Rong Cun, the criminal is a Han, his conscience is not forgotten, and he has always had the intention to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. Because he hates Wu Sangui, who has been favored by the country in this life, he actually led the Qing soldiers into the pass and let our Han family

The world is full of fishy smell. So I want to use the help of the imperial court to get rid of it and vent the bad breath for the Han people in the world." After saying this, thinking about Wu Sangui's refusal to lend money, he couldn't help but gnashed his teeth with hatred.

These words touched Li Chengjue's heart. Although he didn't read much, he liked listening to people talk about history the most. Several staff members in his tent often talked with him about Wu Sangui's release of the Qing army into the customs. They expressed regret and resentment.

Hearing that they were like-minded, they helped Gao Mingzhan and said: "Unexpectedly, Brother Gao is so loyal and wants to eliminate traitors for the country. Brother Gao, don't worry, this town should make it clear to the general that you are an uprising, not a prisoner of war."

The two cursed Wu Sangui again, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became. Gao Mingzhan was very well-behaved. After returning to the Ming Dynasty, he immediately revised his book and recruited Zhaohua and Guangyuan counties for the Ming Dynasty.

Man's fate is determined by God. Because Gao Mingzhan took the road to impeach Wu Sangui, he turned from a prisoner of war into a meritorious member of the uprising. Not only did he save his life, he was also appointed governor of Shaanxi.

Life is not so good!
