Back to Daming to be a genius

Chapter 322 City of Destiny
With a smug grin, Zuo Liangyu walked out of the original Yamen of the Liaodong governor of the Ming Dynasty, which is also the current Jiannu Pingnan Palace. Thirty soldiers still wearing Ming military uniforms, leading their horses and carrying packages on their backs, were ready to leave the city.Looking at the package on Wu Sangui's back and the saber at his waist, and at the Shanzong army waiting in full force, Zuo Liangyu couldn't help but smile, and went up to say hello: "Little General Wu, long time no see, the last time you got married , The last general was unable to go to congratulate him due to some incidents. General Xiao Wu must forgive me. Hey, this must be a younger brother and sister. They are so beautiful. Brother Wu is blessed, blessed! Haha, hahahahahaha... …”

"Zuo Kunshan, don't be so damn yin and yang!" Wu Sangui and Zuo Liangyu have been feuding for a long time. As early as the sixth year of the apocalypse, Wu Sangui and Wu Liuqi teamed up to beat Zuo Liangyu out of his body. When the five Buddhas ascended to heaven, they were almost unable to take care of themselves. Later, when they came to Shaanxi and Gansu, Zuo Liangyu relied on his own talent and hard work, and managed to make a comeback and climbed to the position of general. , Wu Liuqi had a bad relationship, was pushed to the end by Young Master Zhang, and sent back to Ningyuan as an undercover agent—it turns out that Master Zhang’s so-called sending an undercover agent was just a trick to test Wu Sangui’s loyalty, but Wu Sangui barely passed the test, Zuo Liang Yu Ze took the opportunity to turn to Shan Zong again, and became a double agent for Shan Zong to deceive Young Master Zhang with false information.Wu Sangui knew more or less about these complicated matters, so Wu Sangui was not polite to Zuo Liangyu, and asked directly: "Where are my father and my uncle? Did you agree to let me go out of the city?"

"General Changbo was joking." Zuo Liangyu said with a smile: "Now your father and uncle are already the subjects of the Dajin Kingdom. They listen to the orders of the Dajin Kingdom Pingnan King. If Zhengnan Prince doesn't speak, what are you going to do to get out of the city?" ? Let’s go, you’re welcome, the lord has asked, whether you can ask for grace to leave the city in front of the lord depends on your luck.”

"Hmph! See you soon, I'm still afraid of a traitor?" Wu Sangui snorted coldly, turned around and confessed to the soldiers: "If you don't see me coming out in half an hour, don't worry about me, you can find a way to kill yourself! Yes, if anyone dares to bend his knees to be a traitor, be careful that I will not let you go even if I am a ghost!" With tears in their eyes, the [-] soldiers of the slave slaughter army who entered the tiger's den with Wu Sangui clasped their fists together and replied: "Follow the general's order!"

"Yan'er." Wu Sangui held the hand of his newlywed wife He Yan again, and said softly: "If I can't get out, you can go back to your father, and they will not do anything to you for your father's sake." .Remember what I said, and go back to Daming whenever you have a chance, and Zhang Shaobao will definitely take care of you for me.” He Yan, who was not bad, had tears in her eyes, and said with tears in her eyes, “Master, don’t worry, I’m already Wu If you can't come out, I will live for another three months. If I find out that I have your flesh and blood after three months, then I will continue to live. If I still don't, I will go with you " Wu Sangui was moved for a while, kissed his beloved wife on the face lightly, walked away, and shouted at Zuo Liangyu: "Lead the way!"

"Wait." Zuo Liangyu stopped Wu Sangui, and said with a sinister smile, "General Wu, how noble is Pingnan Prince? Isn't it too inappropriate for you to go in with a weapon?" He took down the waist knife and threw it into Zuo Liangyu's arms. Zuo Liangyu smiled sinisterly, and threw the knife to Yuan Chonghuan's soldiers next to him. Suddenly, he grabbed Wu Sangui's left arm, grabbed his clothes and tore them, and hid one in his sleeve. He tore off his dagger together with the sleeve, and threw it to the soldiers next to him, then smiled and said: "General Changbo, I'm really sorry, when I was in Shaanxi and Gansu, I heard people say that you like to wear it on your sleeve. There is a dagger hidden in it, or a dagger with poison, for the good of everyone, so I'm sorry."

"You know me very well." Wu Sangui stared at Zuo Liangyu and gritted his teeth.Zuo Liangyu said with a big grin: "Of course, this is also due to the blessing of the former black-hearted landlord in my family, who taught us to know ourselves and our enemies, so our Shanzong and Dajin Kingdom have spent a lot of effort investigating your stories. Habits and hobbies. Hehe, don’t waste your time, please.” As he said that, Zuo Liangyu pretended to invite Wu Sangui, and then shouted at the Shanzong army next to him: “The suzerain has orders, and Wu Sangui’s subordinates have orders. Changes, shoot to kill!"

"General Changbo, don't be dumbfounded, please." Zuo Liangyu greeted Wu Sangui affectionately again.Wu Sangui glared at Zuo Liangyu, then looked back at the thirty subordinates who shared his life and death with him, as well as his tearful wife, and then walked into the gate of the governor's yamen without looking back. Zuo Liangyu was not polite, and directly So he put a knife on Wu Sangui's neck and escorted Wu Sangui to enter the door, but when he entered the door, Zuo Liangyu suddenly whispered something in Wu Sangui's ear when he stepped over the threshold, "My lord has orders, you can pretend to submit, It's important to save your life."

"What?" Wu Sangui's shock was no small matter. When he turned his head to look at Zuo Liangyu, Zuo Liangyu yelled viciously again, "Hurry up, don't waste my time!" A kick was kicked in the butt, but a look of color that could not be concealed flashed in the corner of his eyes.Wu Sangui suddenly realized, and quickly gave Zuo Liangyu a vicious look, before stepping into the governor's yamen with his head held high.

Probably it is the inevitability of history, Wu Sangui, one of the biggest traitors in the late Ming and early Qing, who was loyal to the Ming Dynasty in history but at the last moment rushed to the crown and led the Qing soldiers into the customs, and was openly married because he went home to get married and ran into Shanzong. Rebellion, being trapped in Ningyuan City and unable to return to the Ming army, and because of Yuan Chonghuan's coercion and lure, Wu Sangui, who had always refused to surrender and become a slave, was greedy for life and fear of death at the last moment, and even betrayed the Ming court and Zhang Da The young master, following his father and three uncles, surrendered to Jiannu and acted as a traitor.In order to prove his determination to make a clean break with the Ming court, Wu Sangui also complied with Yuan Chonghuan's request, shaved off his hair, put on pigtails, and put on the military uniform of a slave soldier.Moreover, under Wu Sangui's strong persuasion, the [-] soldiers of the slave slaughter army who were surrounded by the hardcore traitor Zuo Liangyu also put down their weapons and shaved their hair as traitors when they had no hope of breaking through.When the news spread, the morale of the Ming army was blown away. No one could have imagined that there would be some traitors in the first army of the Ming Dynasty who slaughtered slaves. Jiannu and Shanzong were full of cheers, and everyone said that the slave slaughter army was not stubborn. As long as the opportunity comes, the slave slaughter army will definitely use it for themselves, and their morale will be greatly boosted.

………………

There are two flowers blooming, one for each, not to mention that the notorious traitor Wu Sangui finally became a traitor at the last moment, but that Young Master Zhang personally launched a surprise attack on Jinzhou. A huge mistake—that is, Young Master Zhang, who had never fought in a water battle, had a short-circuited head, and even forgot that most of the soldiers who slaughtered slaves were soldiers from Jiaozhou, and they were also soldiers from Jiaozhou Bay. Fight the soldiers who floated out of swimming!Therefore, the anti-seasickness and water-resistant medicines that Young Master Zhang had prepared were superfluous and wasted. As a result, Young Master Zhang couldn't help but slapped himself lightly, and rarely scolded himself, "Idiot! Another big sum The hard-earned money of the common people has been wasted!"

Superfluous is still a trivial matter. What worries Young Master Zhang the most is the concealment of the sneak attack. The Bohai Sea is the inland sea of ​​Daming. Although the wind and waves are not strong, the navigation is relatively safe, but the route is too complicated. Not only the Ming army is using the Bohai Sea to transport food and troops, The Zongshui Army and the Phi Islands Navy also often appear on the routes in this sea area, and there are countless private fishing boats, merchant ships and smuggling boats sailing back and forth.Although Young Master Zhang has already ordered Mao Wenlong to gather ships and not go to sea under the pretext of preparing for war, Mao Wenlong's army is hanging overseas alone. Ships also come and go frequently on the Bohai Sea, and a little carelessness may reveal their whereabouts.In desperation, Young Master Zhang had no choice but to let the fleet pretend to be grain transport ships and send them to Jinzhou controlled by Mao Wenlong's general Zhang Pan.In this way, although it will take a few more days, it also avoids the route controlled by the Shanzong water army, which is conducive to keeping the whereabouts secret.

Fortunately, Bi Ziyan, the governor of Tianjin, who wanted to avenge his younger brother, found the sailors and guides for Young Master Zhang. A guide who is open to money often takes the route that Young Master Zhang is now taking - as for why he wants to go, there is probably no need to explain.So under the lure of Young Master Zhang's money, these people sold [-]% of their strength, and instructed Young Master Zhang's fleet to avoid the patrol of the Shanzong Navy, and smoothly drew a beautiful arc on the sea, gradually Touch the southwest of Jinzhou.

Of course, everything can’t be smooth sailing. On the way, Master Zhang’s fleet was spotted by other ships five times, but fortunately, the first time he was bumped into by Mao Wenlong’s army on the sea, Young Master Zhang used the excuse of transporting food to Jinzhou, so he was easily fooled. pass.The next four times, they were bumped into by merchant ships and sea ships. For the sake of confidentiality, Master Zhang unceremoniously conscripted these four sea ships for military use and traveled with the army. Although the smugglers and fishermen on the four ships protested loudly, they had no choice but to twist their arms. But the thighs, obediently joined the fleet in front of Young Master Zhang's sharp silver and even sharper knives, and accompanied Young Master Zhang to Jinzhou.

The arduous journey, the turbulent waves and the extreme thrills are beyond words to describe, but anyway, thanks to Xiaqiu Nanfeng, on the afternoon of July 25th, Master Zhang’s fleet finally arrived in the west of Jinzhou as planned Xiaoling River Estuary.For the sake of caution, the treacherous and cunning Master Song Xiance advised Young Master Zhang not to be in a hurry to land on the shore, but to send a group of elite scouts to board the ordinary fishing boats that came on the way, pretending to be Shandong fishermen who lost their course due to wind and waves, and landed to check the situation. Find out the situation of Shanzong's deployment on the coastline of Jinzhou and the actual situation in Jinzhou City, and it will not be too late to land the whole army.

"Don't bother." Young Master Zhang, who has always been cautious, shook his head decisively this time, and said in a deep voice: "The Shanzong rebels and Jiannu never expected that I would detour across the sea, rush thousands of miles to attack Jinzhou City, and fire the first shot in the decisive battle of Liaodong. We will set up defenses on the coast. The most important thing for us now is time. Xiaoling River Estuary is [-] miles away from Jinzhou. Sending scouts to land for reconnaissance. It will take at least a day to check the situation, and the target may be exposed. It will take at least one more day for us to land and rush to the city of Jinzhou after receiving the scout report. More than two days are wasted. If our huge fleet is accidentally exposed during this period, the Jinzhou Shanzong garrison will have enough If we don’t have time to prepare for the city defense, and at the same time ask for help from the Yizhou garrison who built slaves, then we will be in big trouble.”

"Then you shouldn't log in now, right? It's time to apply." Song Xiance asked in embarrassment.Young Master Zhang nodded resolutely, and said decisively: "That's right! Landing now, we can complete the landing assembly before dark, march overnight, and reach the city of Jinzhou before dawn tomorrow!" Seeing that Young Master Zhang has made up his mind, Song Xiance did not dare to force it , I can only try my best to make another suggestion, that is, to choose to land on the east side of the mouth of the Xiaoling River, so that the slave slaughter army will not have to spend time crossing the Xiaoling River with a large flow during the march and siege, and it will also be convenient for retreating and landing. Young Master Zhang was very satisfied with the boat, and immediately accepted it.

Young Master Zhang's luck has always been mediocre. When the fleet landed on the shore, a Jinzhou patrol team happened to pass by the coast, but even Young Master Zhang did not expect this. Seeing that Young Master Zhang had few soldiers, the third-rate troops of the Shanzong thought that Young Master Zhang was The fleet is from Ningyuan's own army fleet. They chose to run to the shore to inquire what happened instead of going back to the city overnight to call the police. The result was very natural. A patrol team of ten people was killed by experienced slave-slaughter scouts at once. , Five people were captured and five people were hacked to death, and the five surviving people were also escorted to Young Master Zhang and became the first batch of captives in the decisive battle of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty.

"Whose army are you in?" Young Master Zhang looked at the five Shanzong scouts kneeling in front of him, and found that they were all very unfamiliar. They didn't seem to be like the soldiers who defended Jinzhou with him back then, and their heads were all shaved and tied. With a pigtail, he made it clear that he didn't look like the gang of soldiers he brought out back then.Sure enough, those scouts refused to answer at first, but after Young Master Zhang cut off a prisoner with a wink, the remaining four scouts immediately fell silent, kowtowed and replied tremblingly: "My lord, the little people are from Jinzhou!" The subordinates of General Xia Chengde, the deputy general, are patrolling the mouth of the Xiaoling River under the order of General Xia."

"Xia Chengde?" It was the first time Young Master Zhang had heard of this name, but he bluffed, "Bold! Didn't Xia Chengde go back to Ningyuan? How could he be in Jinzhou?"

"My lord, you guys don't dare to lie, it's really General Xia who ordered us to patrol." Several Shanzong scouts cried bitterly.Master Zhang looked at his words and asked, "Then who is the guard in Jinzhou City now? How many troops are there? Tell the truth, and you won't die! If you dare to tell lies, let's kill them together!"

"You guys don't dare to lie." Several Shanzong scouts scrambled together and said: "Originally the generals in Jinzhou City were General Zu and General He Kegang, but they all went back to Ningyuan a few months ago, and now they are replaced by General Wang Puwang and General Xie Shangzheng have about six or seven thousand troops."

"Six or seven thousand troops? How could there be so few?" Young Master Zhang continued to ask.Several Shanzong scouts rushed to answer: "General Hui, it turned out to be [-], but the imperial court cut off the grain and pay in Liaodong, and Master Yuan was forced to rebel. In order to prevent the imperial army from attacking Ningyuan, Master Yuan ordered More than half of Jinzhou's army was taken away, and they went to Ningyuan to defend the city, and left at the end of last month."

"Okay, Yuan Chonghuan has indeed relaxed the defense of Jinzhou." Young Master Zhang was delighted in his heart, and asked again: "Then when are you leaving? Didn't Yuan Chonghuan plan to dedicate Jinzhou to Jianu? When will Jianu take over?"

"This..., haven't you heard of it?" The scouts of the Shanzong were all at a loss, not knowing the dirty deal between the Shanzong and Jiannu at all.Of course, Young Master Zhang also understands that these ordinary scouts cannot know the secrets of Jiannu and Shanzong. He just wants to find out whether the Jiannu army has taken over the Jinzhou city defense. He hurriedly asked again: "How many slave-building troops are there in Yizhou? Who are the generals?"

"It's Master Tulun of Zhenghongqi." This time, several Shanzong scouts answered very readily, "Master Yuan and the generals told the officials sent by the imperial court that there are [-] Dajin troops in Yizhou city. , In fact, Yizhou City is dilapidated and small, with only two or three thousand troops, and the younger ones are often ordered to send women to the Dajin army in Yizhou City, so they know it very well.”

"Damn it, it's an honor to be a dog for Jian slaves, isn't it?" Young Master Zhang was furious, he raised his foot and kicked each of them hard, kicking several Mountain Sect scouts with blossoming faces, screaming and shaking sky.Next to Wu Sangui's deputy, Ji Yu, was also furious, drew out his knife and said, "My lord, let the little one get rid of these traitors!"

"My lord, please forgive me! You little ones don't dare to be dogs to Jiannu anymore, never again!" Several Shanzong scouts immediately peed on their crotch, screamed like killing a pig, and desperately kowtowed to Young Master Zhang for mercy.Fortunately, Young Master Zhang showed mercy once in a while, and ordered: "These dogs are still useful, stay here for now, tie them up, and let them lead the way later." Ji Yu and other soldiers obeyed the order. The three thousand slave-slaughter troops and war horses have all landed. After taking a short rest to adapt to the land, having dinner, and feeding the war horses, Young Master Zhang stayed with the Tianjin navy to guard the sea ships, and brought a very small amount of siege weapons and light artillery. , With a flick of the horsewhip, he immediately rushed to Jinzhou in a mighty manner.

"Jinzhou! I'm back again! Last time, I carried the coffin to defend you! This time, I want to destroy you with my own hands! Destroy you—!"

"Jinzhou! I'm back!" At the same time, under the Jinzhou city, Fan Wencheng, who was ordered to go to Jinzhou to supervise the Shanzong army's grain collection and check the supplies in the city, led a small group of slave cavalry, surrounded by Xie Shangzheng and other members of the Shanzong respectfully. Satisfied, he came to the Jinzhou East Gate City, looked at the towering Jinzhou City Wall in the dark, Fan Wencheng was full of thoughts, and couldn't help but think of the old past—that is, Fan Wencheng himself was self-defeating, trying to make his debut before he became famous. The young master Zhang came to Jinzhou to avenge his death, but in the end he brought an unimaginable monster of plague to the slave masters, which not only completely shattered all the dreams of the slave masters, but also allowed young master Zhang to become famous through the battle of Jinzhou, becoming a The nightmares and disasters of all Ming's enemies - whenever Fan Wencheng thinks of this, he always has the urge to slap himself in the face!If I hadn't played that bullshit trick of Nuerhachi's predicting dreams back then, and abruptly brought Young Master Zhang to Liaodong, Young Master Zhang, the disaster star, might still be nesting there!
"Jinzhou! This time, I'm going to turn you into Zhang Haogu's nightmare! I want to be here and watch Zhang Haogu suffer all kinds of illnesses and die! I fell in Jinzhou Now, I will stand up in Jinzhou! Stand up——!"
