Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 141 Persevering

Zhu Yixi was silent.

In this troubled world, ordinary people are like dust, and even those powerful people cannot resist the general trend.

If he didn't struggle, what's the difference with these people?
Ruzhou gave him a big shock, the so-called strong walls and clear fields are quite anticlimactic.

Pick up ready-made directly.

As a result, Zhu Yixi lost interest. He stayed in Ruzhou and asked people to go to various counties to recruit people.

Three days later, in the huge Ruzhou, only 5000 people accompanied him back.

As for the Runing Mansion, they are not far behind.

The population was too small, and Zhu Yixi was heartbroken, so he even sent cavalry to Luoyang and Zhengzhou to recruit people.

When he returned to Fangcheng, it was already mid-May, and three bastions had been completed.

The people who carry will be tens of thousands of people.

There is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, and the bones are exposed in the wild. This is the true response of Zhongzhou, Henan.

For these people, Zhu Yixi arranged directly to Nanyang.

In other words, with Fangcheng as the core, there are no more villages in the vicinity of two hundred miles apart from the bastion.

Most of the population will gather near Nanyang City. If there is any disagreement, they will directly withdraw to Xiangyang.

Of course, beacons along the way must also be set up.

Fangcheng, Wuguan, and Nanzhao are three important places that must be guarded by troops.

Coupled with the strong walls, clear fields, and bastions, Zhu Yixi couldn't believe it, how the Manchus won it.

Not long after returning to Nanyang, news came from Xiangyang that Wu Sangui was in charge of the Qing Dynasty, Li Zicheng was defeated, and the city of Beijing was set on fire.

"This group of people in Jiangnan are really well-informed."

Zhu Yixi couldn't help sighing.

Only ten days after Chongzhen's death, the news spread to Nanjing, and now it is the same about Li Zicheng. These Donglin party members really care about the center of power all the time.

Of course, it is also because the canal is too convenient.

"The infiltration of Nanjing City needs to be deepened!"

Thinking about it, Zhu Yixi said to Sun Changzhou: "Nanjing City is the gateway to the south, and you are well-informed, so you have to send people first, and you must grasp every sign of it."

"As ordered!"

At this time, Sun Changzhou also understood that little Zongbing Zhu, since he became king, has naturally been very different.

Therefore, even though the Nanjing court is the center, he is not afraid or timid at all.

After all, his son is in the Military Justice Department, and his niece is almost a concubine.

Thinking of this, he looked at the peachy-eyed Sun Xuan, and couldn't help sighing: "This niece is still rushing to post, it will be hard to count on the bedside wind in the future."

"Xuan'er, the daughter's family is reserved, reserved!"

Sun Changzhou advised earnestly.

"Uncle, I understand!" Sun Xuaner nodded seriously.

"You know shit!"

Sun Changzhou was helpless, and finally said: "I will go to Xiangyang, Nanjing to arrange, and you will protect the king, and the relationship between children and children must be put aside."

"Ok!"

Sun Xuan'er nodded seriously, and when she mentioned protecting the King of Hanyang, she became interested: "Don't worry, I am strong and strong, and I will protect you personally, and no one can get close to me."

After finishing the calf, he still protects him personally...

Sun Changzhou shook his head and left helplessly.

Sun Xuan'er watched her uncle leave, and happily went to protect King Hanyang.

Zhu Yixi, who was busy with military affairs, couldn't help smiling when he saw the dazed female guard, and ignored it.

Such a loyal female guard seems to have to be beaten!

For Gaddafi's women's guards, he can look forward to it.

……

Jingzhou Prefecture.

However, when King Hanyang went north to Nanyang, Li Jizu and You Shiwei were also ordered to go south to Jingzhou.

Jiangling City was easily captured.

Li Jizu couldn't believe it: "The western thief, did you really give up Jingzhou? Enter Sichuan with all your heart?"

"It should be so."

You Shiwei was overjoyed, and said in a deep voice: "After Jiangling is recovered, let's chase their tails, don't let them go."

"it is good!"

Li Jizu didn't want to let go of this opportunity to make contributions, so he nodded.

So, the two met resistance from Jiangling, then to Yidu, and finally in Yiling.

However, the resistance was weak, and within a few days, it was taken down by the elite Qin army.

In this way, until the troops reached Guizhou, tens of thousands of Western troops were stationed to protect the last way back.

After probing here, the two of them did not dare to start a war lightly, and clashed with the Western Army on a large scale, so they were anxious to give up.

Since then, Jingzhou has been taken, and the Hunan region has been connected, which is close at hand.

……

However, Zhang Xianzhong, who was far away in Sichuan, didn't care at this time, or he didn't have time to care.

Because of the heavy rain, after stopping in Wanxian for three months, he was like a broken bamboo, taking land continuously, even conquering Liangshan, Zhongzhou and Fuzhou, defeating the general Cao Ying, and breaking through Fotu Pass.

In this way, most of the Chongqing government was included in the bag, and Sichuan's resistance seemed so weak.

Only the Chongqing government resisted to the death.

"Chengdu Mansion is within easy reach, Daxi Jianye is about to complete."

Facing the generals, as well as civil and military forces, Zhang Xianzhong was very excited: "The Chongqing government is stubbornly resisting, and the mantis is just a chariot."

Everyone was very happy, but Sun Kewang, with a long-term vision, cupped his hands and said:
"Father, all the troops in Sichuan are not our opponents, but Qin Liangyu, the stone pillar, is a veteran who has fought for decades, so we must investigate."

"Hahaha! I still hope to see far." Zhang Xianzhong laughed and said:

"The reason why I stayed in Chongqing was to meet Qin Liangyu for a while. If I were in Shizhu, I wouldn't dare."

"White soldiers have a great reputation. Today, I will completely end them."

Therefore, Zhang Xianzhong's [-] troops sat in Chongqing and waited for Qin Liangyu with ease.

However, it is said that in the 13 years of Chongzhen, Luo Rucai and Zhang Xianzhong disrupted Shu, and Luo Rucai was defeated by Qin Liangyu.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Liangyu's [-]-strong army was defeated by Zhang Xianzhong, and all the elite were wiped out.

Hearing that Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan again, Qin Yiming persuaded him, "There are [-] western thieves, and our Qin family has lost all of its soldiers and horses. It is not enough to protect ourselves. If we go to fight the western thieves, we will definitely die!"

Qin Liangyu glanced at his nephew disappointedly, and said:

"When you encounter a major event, you are fearful and indecisive. Before that, you stood still and watched Sun Dushi's defeat. What does it mean to say that your surname is Qin?"

"This time, even if I am unable to defeat the Western Thief, or even lose the army, I will never be afraid or shrink back."

"Is it worth it? Auntie!"

Qin Yiming felt uncomfortable being scolded, but still raised his head and said stubbornly.

Qin Liangyu turned his head, and his old face was full of determination: "Why is it not worth it? Your father and uncle died in the battle, and my son Xianglin and daughter-in-law (Zhang Fengyi) died as well."

"The two families of Qin and Ma have been loyal to Daming for generations. It is our duty to shroud the corpse in horse leather."

"Since you are willing to stay, then guard Shizhu and the Qin family. Wannian (his grandson) is still young, so everything is up to you."

As he spoke, Qin Liangyu resolutely left to recruit local soldiers.

The 71-year-old female general still has the same demeanor.

Qin Yiming was silent, looking at the background of his aunt's departure, and murmured: "The two generations of Qin and Ma have gone through fire and water for Daming. Enough is enough, really enough."

"Auntie, why are you so stubborn?"

　Qin Liangyu is the only heroine in history who, as a famous general of a dynasty, was recorded in a separate biography in the official history and generals.

　　For Daming, it can be said that he died after death.

　　Elder brother: Qin Bangping, who was awarded the title of Du Siqian by the official, and died in the Battle of Hunhe in 1621.

　　Elder brother: Qin Banghan, who died in the Battle of Hunhe in 1621.

　　Younger brother: Qin Minping, appointed as the deputy commander in chief, died in the battle to put down the "She'an Rebellion" in 1624.

　　Son: Ma Xianglin, official consolation envoy. He died in Xiangyang in 1642.

　　Daughter-in-law: Zhang Fengyi, died in 1633 in Houjiazhuang, Henan.
