Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 501

The spirit of Dayu, who has been through the house three times but never entered, this time Song Qingshu has learned thoroughly. He didn't even return home. Song Qingshu brought a large army to support Luoyang. That face with pear blossoms and rain.

Even if King Fu treats her badly, or even uses her as a bargaining chip, he is her father after all, and Prince Fu's mansion is also the place where she grew up, and in the past few years, no matter whether it is to strengthen contact with Song Qingshu, a big warlord, King Fu treats her as a seven-county The master is obviously much better, every year and holidays, she has her natal family's etiquette care, and often sends a little eunuch to visit, the feeling is much stronger.

Apart from being a playboy, he is a responsible man, and he attaches great importance to the oaths made by women. Song Qingshu swore that he would keep Luoyang safe, but now, Luoyang is gone. The moment he saw Little Pepper, Song Qingshu felt guilty , he was really afraid that Little Pepper would rush over crying and ask him why he broke his promise!why!
But Song Qingshu underestimated the little pepper. The girl did cry and threw herself into his arms, and bit him hard on the chest. He took out a map, spread it out on the table, and said with red eyes and gritted teeth.

"Officer, I have already found out the intruder's marching and attacking the city, and it's all on this!"

…………

Song Qingshu is very open-minded, except that Caiwei is really quiet by nature, and stays at home every day to care for her husband and teach her children, Song Qingshu's women can find something to do in the chamber of commerce to kill time, and the third wife of the shopkeeper, Xiaojiao, is considered to be very important. People, Fengyue Grand Theater and Yu'er's orchestra culture company are all under her management, and she also has a lot of say in a large business in Henan.

This Song Qingshu led the army to the north to aid Liao, and the worried little pepper just packed his bags, went north to have a look, and went back to the Fuwang Mansion to contact Zhu Changxun and her brother Zhu Yousong, and stayed there. In Ruzhou City, after all, her identity was not visible, Song Qingshu knew about the fall of Luoyang City from Xiaojiao's mouth.

Originally, Luoyang’s defense was normal. Just as Song Qingshu expected, the Fu Wang Zhu Changxun, who had a full sense of urgency, was really willing to spend money, and issued a heavy reward, 50 taels for killing a thief, and 20 taels for shooting a thief. Two, a large warehouse was also opened, so that all the defenders of Luoyang could go to the Fuwang Mansion to have a full meal. For a while, the whole city was full of courage, not only Wang Shaoyu, the general soldier of Henan, but also Liu Jianyi, the deputy general, and the morale of the troops guarding the general Luotai was high. , at least [-] young adults went to the city.

In December of the 13th year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng cleared the outlying strongholds of Luoyang. More than 30 troops stormed Luoyang day and night. After five or six days, the city was shot like a hedgehog by the rain of arrows, and Luoyang City remained motionless.

And Scarface, Qiu Ming also led the troops of Daixian's three divisions from Shanxi to the south as promised. Scarface is close to Mongolia, and with Daixian's financial support, almost everyone in his three divisions has two horses, and there is a pure The cavalry division, on December 27, the Daixian army arrived from Mengjin. The cavalry broke through Li Zicheng's right flank surrounding Luoyang, beheading more than 1000 levels, forcing Li Zicheng to retreat two miles, and the siege was broken.

But at this time, the first surprise appeared, that is, the faces of those civil servants, the former minister of the Nanjing Ministry of War, Lu Weiqi, Wang Yinchang of military preparation, Feng Shaoyu, the prefect of Luoyang, etc. did not believe in scar faces, and they were not allowed to enter the city on behalf of the army!On the contrary, Scarface continued to attack Li Zicheng's army and defeated it from Luoyang.

Who is under Scarface's command?Most of them are from the peasant army who did not occupy the mud department back then, and the peasant army gathered by Song Qingshu. They were massacred by the Fenchuan River. The unreliable officers were transferred to the south of the Yangtze River, and even sent to Taiwan to be transferred to civilian jobs and manage farms, but the soldiers still did not like the officers and soldiers.

Good guy, I have come all the way here, I don't even have to drink hot water, and I have to continue to be cannon fodder for you?Even the Mongolian soldiers were clamoring. Anyway, Song Qingshu ordered to support Luoyang. Scarface, who was also annoyed in his heart, ordered the withdrawal of troops and stationed them on the nearby Mang Mountain, threatening the troops from the flanks so that they would not dare to attack the city with all their strength. It's also an obligation.

However, even if this first variable has been discovered, the defense of Luoyang City is still as stable as a dog, and the Chuangjun dare not continue to attack. It seems that there will be another ten days and a half months after Zuo Liangyu's tens of thousands of people are transferred from Shaanxi. , the siege of Luoyang City was resolved, but now, the second variable came again!

Li Yan!

God knows how he fled from Huguang back to Qixian County, Henan Province. Anyway, when Li Zicheng returned to Henan Province, he pulled a team in Qixian County, and a team of about 2 hungry people went to seek refuge. The rebel general, Xiao Luobo, and the second fool are also in his hands, and some things that Song Qingshu has forgotten are also in his hands.

More than 1000 catties of yellow gunpowder were distributed to the Third Division and the rest of the army.

After Scarface came, the battle was at a stalemate. The Chuangjun didn't even attack the city during the day, and they just spent time under the city wall with big eyes and small eyes. Then it came down, and even King Fu sent out a lot of good things to let everyone have a good year. However, when it was approaching the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when many people were already thinking about eating glutinous rice balls, disaster struck.

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month in the 14th year of Chongzhen, this night was exactly the same as usual. The army in the distance was lying there dead, and the officer army was also guarding in a daze, but at about eleven or twelve o'clock, the commander-in-chief Wang Shaoyu was suddenly called by his subordinates. , Chuangjun has changed!

Putting on the armor and holding the binoculars to look at the opposite side, in the dark night, indeed, the Chuangjun came out of the camp like ants moving, and the sound of horses could be heard vaguely.

But Wang Shaoyu's first thought was whether Chuangjun was going to retreat!

The fortification of Luoyang City is top-notch even among the many cities in Ming Dynasty. His idea is correct. After all, there is no precedent for the peasant army to capture such a city, so Wang Shaoyu issued the deadliest order of the night.

Stay tuned!

After about ten minutes of this quiet observation, when Wang Shaoyu was still hesitating whether to send cavalry to chase after him, the city wall under his feet suddenly came alive...

It was not the collapse of two gaps in one place, but the entire 50-meter city wall collapsed. Under the cover of tents, the soldiers used the small shovels of tomb robbers to dig bit by bit. After more than half a month, they dug through four secret passages. Under the city wall, more than 1000 catties of yellow gunpowder and tens of thousands of catties of black gunpowder were ignited together. After the roar, Luoyang City was like a smashed coconut, exposing the soft flesh to the Chuangjun.

Wang Shaoyu's soldiers defended the city well, but they collapsed in a few strokes when they really faced the tide of invading troops. Many historians in later generations described Li Zicheng's entry into Luoyang without committing any crimes. However, this is impossible!When Li Zicheng came to Shangluo, there were only more than 1000 people. In less than half a year, it swelled to 30. Most of the members were starving people suffering from hunger and cold. It was impossible for Li Zicheng to control everyone.

And now that they have rebelled, the originally kind and honest peasants have discarded their original cowardice in the wind, and suddenly entered Luoyang City, which was regarded as a metropolis at that time, in the bustling world of flowers and flowers. There are shiny silver and attractive women, as long as you stretch out your hand and wave your knife, you can get it!In this case, restraining the team is like putting a piece of the fattest mutton in the lion's mouth and not allowing it to eat, or even himself will be swallowed by the lion.

Before the New Year's celebration was over, Luoyang City experienced a bloody sleepless night.

But this time, it is estimated that the bridge section of Fulu Geng in later generations is gone. Ever since Song Qingshu robbed the city, and came back to this scene of being used to Henan's desolation and cannibalism, Fu Wang Zhu Changxun originally lived in the iron barrel of the Ming Dynasty. This kind of peace of mind is gone, replaced by a sense of crisis all the time. Even in the past few years, Zhu Changxun has often been awakened by nightmares. The big fat man who weighed more than 200 kilograms has lost weight to only his early [-]s, as if he has become another person.

But Luoyang City was really captured, and the old King Fu felt relaxed. Maybe he had been afraid too many times, but this time he was calm. Like the son of Emperor Wanli and the most noble prince of the Ming Dynasty, King Fu was rushing After entering the palace, he calmly sat on the golden chair in the Chaofeng Hall, and ordered the loyal guards to set fire to the entire hall.

This time, King Fu's death was worthy of his status!

Fu Wang held his attention by himself, and died heroically, which gave the people in Fu Wang's mansion a chance of survival. A large number of Luoyang dignitaries such as Zhu Yousong, the son of Fu Wang, and Lu Weiqi, the former Minister of Nanjing Military Department, escaped. At first, they did not trust Scarface. Now, he fled into Scarface's generation army like a dog in the water.

But Scarface is also unlucky. Li Yan's use of troops can be regarded as scheming. When he stared at Li Zicheng's chrysanthemum in Mangshan, Li Yan also dispatched more than 2 cavalry to stare at his chrysanthemum. Thousands of people left as they wanted, but there was a large group of "respectful people" in the army who dragged their families and pulled carts. They were surrounded by two roads and had to retreat into Mengjin County. Now they are besieged in the There.

"Li Yan! Li Yan! Li Yan!"

Looking at the map and listening to Xiaojiali's narration, Song Qingshu's eyes were also red, the veins on his forehead were throbbing, and his fists were clenched and rattling uncontrollably. This bastard seemed to be his nemesis. The place where Li Yan appeared was already broken. What has happened to him!
However, Sun Chuanting looked at the map solemnly for a long time, and Sun Chuanting shook his head with great difficulty at the handsome couple with red eyes as if they wanted to choose someone to devour.

This battle is not easy to fight!No matter how many mobs under Li Zicheng's command, it is 30 after all!Moreover, occupying Luoyang has taken away a large amount of food, gold and silver wealth in Luoyang City. I am afraid that his army will expand again. The living army on the battlefield has only nine divisions and less than 40 people. If they attack rashly, they may get themselves trapped.

But at this moment when Song Qingshu was furious, another unexpected visitor arrived outside the door, an extremely arrogant personal soldier opened the curtain of the tent and shouted.

"Is Song Qingshu, the commander-in-chief of the Huaihe River, here? Governor Li Xianfeng of Henan Province has already supervised the army to Jishan, and Song Qingshu hasten to meet him!"
