Chapter 215: Worship General
Yang Zhan is also a character. Since he decided to surrender, he simply stopped the soldiers outside the city and came to Luzhou with one horse and one horse.
Hou Xuanyan went out to greet him in person, and when he saw such a courage, he was secretly disappointed. This general was known as the Southwest Great Wall in history, but unfortunately he died at a banquet where his confidant was.
Looking at how many heroes in the late Ming Dynasty were inevitably killed by their own people. The two hundred years of Lu Chen in China was not because of the unsuccessful Han Dynasty. There were some Hu Er, but because there were too many traitors, they betrayed their ancestors and harmed the country and the people.
When Yang Zhan came to the military camp, his heart was like a storm. How could a general who had been commanding troops all year round not realize the murderous intent and the high-spirited fighting spirit? Thinking that these were originally prepared for him, Yang Zhan couldn't help but secretly wiped his sweat.
He was not greedy for power and power, so hesitated because he was arrogant and did not know who Hou Xuanyan was. He was afraid that he would surrender to him and was a more powerful warlord; the second was because he was afraid that he would be harmed by Hou Xuanyan. The road in Shu was difficult to move, and Hou Xuanyan suffered from the lack of information in Shu. The people here did not know the world-famous Duke Yue.
Today, when I saw the Northern Expedition Army, I knew that I was too concerned.
With just these 30,000, Hou Xuanyan could take over himself without the need for the 100,000 troops of Chongqing Prefecture. It seems that he was really sincere in writing his own letter.
"Haha, Marquis Jinjiang, it's true that he is well-known. He is really better than meeting him."
Yang Zhan got off his horse and bowed, "The emperor is here to pay homage to the Duke."
Hou Xuanyan was proud of his spring breeze, held his hand and said, "Let's go to Luzhou Prefecture to talk."
Yang Zhan was a little flattered about Hou Xuanyan's enthusiasm. Hou Xuanyan was much better than him in terms of official positions, titles, and strength. Fortunately, he is also an open-minded person. Since he comes, he will be at ease and let go of his guards to go to the city.
The gentry who had not left in the city was secretly shocked when he saw Yang Zhan. As a result, two of the warlords in southern Sichuan died and surrendered one. The Duke of Yue was indeed a good method. In addition to admiring, he also secretly thanked that he had come early and this time he caught up.
Hou Xuanyan held a banquet by the Luzhou River. There was a shortage of food in Shu, so he naturally could not eat and drink with delicacies.
The specialty of Luzhou's mountain fungus, fungus, and small beasts hunted by soldiers, roast them and drink Luzhou's fine wine.
All of us are powerful figures in southern Sichuan. They rarely get together and talk to each other, but they are very speculative.
After three glasses of wine, Hou Xuanyan's drinking last night had not completely faded, and his face was already a little flushed. He stood up and said loudly: "Chuan and Shu suffered heavy wars, causing the people to live in misery. You are all from Shu. You should know why this result was."
Jiang Ying, the new Luzhou magistrate, was hired by Hou Xuan because he was very famous in the local area. He raised his glass and said, "This is all because there is no such person as the Supervisor, who entered Sichuan to save the crisis and the unstable people's hearts."
Hou Xuanyan was very helpful to hear it, but shook his head modestly and said, "Since the former emperor appointed me as the governor of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Suppression and Revitalization, my governor was ordered to fight eastward to fight westward to comfort the southward, and to manage half of the country and the current situation. I wanted to raise troops northward to restore our Han family tradition, but I only regretted that traitors were everywhere and were restricted everywhere.
The country of Bashu Tianfu fell to this situation today because these birds were evil and had too much selfishness. Although I am in Bashu, I will leave sooner or later. Wang Yingxiong, the governor of Sichuan, has low skills and has achieved nothing after defeat. Today, on this riverside, I will use the power of regent as a entrusted by the former emperor and the empress dowager to dismiss Wang Yingxiong from his position as governor, and will be held by Yang Zhan, the Marquis of Jinjiang."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a burst of noise. Everyone looked at Hou Xuanyan in surprise. The governor of a province decided in a few words, what authority was this.
Yang Zhan stood up and lowered his head and said, "What kind of virtue is the right person? Since the Duke of the Kingdom is valued, he will definitely be tragic to serve the Duke of the Kingdom."
"Alas.."
Everyone by the river took a breath. The two people in front of him, one dared to sign and the other dared to pick them up, were all cruel people. Hou Xuanyan continued: "Marquis Jinjiang does not have to be too humble. Tomorrow, he will follow my army to Chengdu. Ma Gan is working hard and making great contributions. I have to give him a good condolence."
At this time, a soldier from Qianxiang Camp came to Hou Xuanyan and whispered.
Everyone by the river was still surprised by Hou Xuanyan's appointment, and he never thought that he smiled again: "I just received the news that Xia Wanchun had already taken back Chongqing Prefecture, Shunqing Prefecture, and Wu Sangui fled to Baoning and could not stand."
Now no matter what kind of thoughts are, people are cheering. The massacre of the Qing Dynasty in northern Sichuan and eastern Sichuan was too shocking. Even in southern Sichuan, it was panicked. It was a massacre that was inhumane and had lost any control. The people in front of them were truly delighted.
Yang Zhan had a lot of knowledge and asked after hearing this, "Will the Commander General go to Chengdu next?" Although Ma Gan and Zeng Ying from Chengdu were not in personnel and allowed the Qing Dynasty to take advantage of the situation, their prestige in the hearts of Sichuan people was still not low. They took back Chengdu, indirectly killed Zhang Xianzhong, and killed his entire family in Chengdu. You must know that after Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan, he was actually the first force to invade.
Since he conquered Bashu and founded the country, the Sichuan people, who were strong by nature, naturally did not resist much. Especially the group led by Ma Gan regarded him as Sichuan's biggest enemy.
The governor Ma Gan was chosen by the Sichuan people themselves. At that time, Chen Shiqi was dismissed as the governor of Sichuan, and Sichuan people were appointed as officials in Beijing to appoint Ma Gan; and the court proposed to use Long Wenguang. In August of the 17th year of Chongzhen, Chengdu fell and Long Wenguang died in battle. The scholars and people jointly promoted Ma Gan to act as governor. At the beginning of his tenure, he sent troops to recapture Chongqing Prefecture and defeated the bandit general Liu Tingju. The Hongguang court was promoted to Ma Qian's right assistant censor and governor Sichuan.
Hou Xuanyan sneered: "Why don't you go? Resisting the Qing Dynasty, the Sichuan soldiers have not yet contributed. Ma Gan and Zeng Ying are still in Chengdu and Sun Kewang. To eliminate Japanese pirates and rush to support Liaodong, the Sichuan soldiers have brilliant achievements. Now that others have slaughtered to their doorsteps, they are worthy of Sichuan. Can they rely on Hunan people to survive? The martyrs who died know that the poor heroes will have no successors for a lifetime! If so, I think it's better to just include Sichuan in Huguang."
The crowd present was excited and could no longer hold their faces. Especially Yang Zhan, his face flushed and he stood up and said, "The Sichuan people are not dead yet, so there is no need for others to avenge us. Baoning Mansion is also a Sichuan area. We must take it back ourselves, kill Wu Sangui and Aobai, and avenge the dead villagers."
