Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 147

When Yuan Zongdi sent people to send the news that Wu Zhikui's entire army had been annihilated at the front line, Zhu Yihai just arrived at the city of Wujiang.

Wujiang is located 45 miles southeast of Suzhou. At the beginning of June, the Qing army sent people to surrender Wujiang, but Lin Mei, the county magistrate, refused to defend, and the army was defeated.

His good friend Wu Yi is a native of Wujiang. He was also a Jinshi in Chongzhen for 16 years. King Fu proclaimed himself emperor.

The next year, he was sent to the south of the Yangtze River to raise grain and grass, but Yangzhou was already broken before returning, so he led the grain transport fleet to Wujiang to rescue Lin Mei, but before arriving in Wujiang, Wujiang had been secretly informed by the county magistrate Zhu Tingzuo, who opened the door to lure the thieves.

Wu Yi went to Taihu Lake to set up camp, and together with fellow villagers Sun Zhaokui and Zhusheng Shen Zichang raised the flag of rebellion and vowed to fight against the Qing Dynasty to the death.

The garrison commander Baidang haunted Taihu Lake and Sanmao, and recruited and surrendered the Taihu water bandits Barefoot Zhang San, King of Peeling, and Mao Er.

Recently, Huang Fei and Wu Zhikui gathered a large army to attack Suzhou, so Wu Yi led the White Waist Party to seize Wujiang. The student Wu Jian is the nephew of Wu Yi's family, about the nephew, because of drunken gaffes, he was accused by his family of false county magistrates Zhu Tingzuo.When Zhu Tingzuo heard the news, he immediately sent someone to take him down and confiscated the Wu family.

Wu Jian's father, Wu Ruyan, was an old scholar. He escaped from Wujiang overnight and rushed to Changbaidang to report to his brother Wu Yi.Wu Yi used all his white-waisted troops to rush to the foot of Wujiang City and attack Wujiang City.

When Zhu Yihai's vanguard arrived, Wu Yi was wearing silver armor and a silver belt around his waist, carrying a silver gun and riding a white horse. He was commanding the white-waisted army to attack Wujiang City. The white-waisted army was mostly composed of fishermen and pirates from Taihu Lake. Only a small part were the officers and soldiers who followed Wu Yi from Yangzhou to raise food.

However, Wujiang City was also very empty at this time. The false county magistrate led the county's civilians to defend the city.

For a while, it was inseparable.

Although Wu Yi had made a lot of noise before, he mainly relied on his superiority on the water on Taihu Lake, sailing a boat like the wind, taking the initiative to ambush and attack and other tactics to win. It is a bit difficult for them to attack the county now.

While he was in a hurry, a team appeared behind him with a green flag. Wu Yi was taken aback. General Zhang San and many other original water bandits saw that the situation was not going well, so they immediately smeared oil on their feet and slipped away.

Wu Yi rode a horse with a gun in hand, shouted orders again and again, and organized his subordinates to meet the enemy.

The men and horses holding the green flag advanced slowly, and the rangers galloped back and forth. Most of Wu Yi's subordinates had already run away, and only about [-] people were still gathered under his banner.

Wu Yi was about to fight to the death, but a person under the green flag galloped up to him, and he turned out to be an acquaintance.

"Brother Huajing, is that you?"

"Brother Risheng, it is the younger brother."

"Why did you surrender to the enemy?" Seeing that the other party came from the enemy camp, Wu Yi's tone became indifferent. The person who came to Huajing was also Wu Jiang. He used to study with his classmates, but Wu Yi later passed the Jinshi examination, while Huajing tried again and again. If you don't win, you are still a scholar.

Hua Jing laughed, "Don't you just see the green flag and think it's a puppet army or a fake Tartar. I've got good news for you. The person behind this is my Master of the Ming Dynasty, the Central Army of the Northern Expedition of Lu Jianguo. Seeing that member The burly armored general is gone, but that is General Zhang Mingyang, the commander-in-chief of Shizhong Township, the imperial guards and infantry, and his elder brother is Zhang Mingzhen, the red-hearted general who stabs the back and serves the country with all his heart."

Wu Yi also heard about Lu Jianguo and Zhang Mingyang, and he was a little dubious.

"Brother Risheng attacked Wujiang, do you need our help?"

Wu Yi couldn't ask for more.

So Huajing led Wu Yi to the green flag, and met Zhang Mingyang, the commander-in-chief of Shizhong Town. Zhang Mingyang resigned from the admiral of the horse army and became the commander-in-chief of the infantry Shizhong Town. Forward, it happened that Wu Yi was playing Wujiang City.

After hearing the reason, Zhang Mingyang said, "Take down Wujiang City first."

Soon Zhang Mingyang led the army to the city and shouted at the city.

The false county magistrate looked at the green flag under the city, and couldn't figure out the situation for a moment. Both sides shouted, and Zhang Mingyang lied that he had returned from the north of Hangzhou and was the former vanguard of Marshal Boluo.

He also said that Wu Yi had surrendered to him and asked the city to open the gate to prepare food and drink for the army.

Zhu Tingzuo looked at the thousands of people in the city, but he didn't dare to open the door, only saying that there was no food in the city.

Zhang Mingyang immediately showed the appearance of a domineering martial artist to the fullest, immediately shouted and attacked the city, and said that after the city was broken, the dog magistrate's corpse would be smashed into thousands of pieces.

When Zhu Tingzuo met the soldiers, he was already a little bit powerless when resisting Wu Yi's white-waisted army just now. Now that there will be an obviously more elite green battalion soldiers, he is immediately afraid.

And Shizhong Town over there immediately pulled out the cannons such as the Tiger Crouch and the Frangler, and began to load them. After a while, they began to roar towards the city.

After a few cannons, although they were only small cannons, the sound of the cannons still made Zhu Tingzuo flustered. Seeing that many archers and musketeers also came up, the gentry beside him also panicked. .

"It's better to let these green battalion soldiers in first."

"They come in and they're sure to rob."

"They are all soldiers and horses of the imperial court, so I don't dare to rob too much, but if they are not allowed to come in, it will really annoy them, and if they force their way in, it will be over by then."

Seeing this, Zhu Tingzuo had no choice but to order to open the city, "Hurry up and get some food, and some wine and meat. I hope these people who kill thousands of knives won't be too messy."

"Go get some more silver."

The city gate opened slowly.

The soldiers outside the city rushed up immediately.

When these green battalion soldiers rushed into the city gate and got closer, Zhu Tingzuo and others who greeted them at the city gate discovered that these green battalion soldiers had not shaved their hair under their helmets.

But at this time, Wu Yi swaggered in on a horse and came directly in front of Zhu Tingzuo, "Officer dog, take your life!"

Before Zhu Tingzuo was shot down, his mind was full of question marks, what happened.

Aren't they the Green Battalion soldiers, aren't they the vanguard of Hangzhou Boluo? Why didn't they shave their hair? Didn't Wu Yi surrender? Why are they still so arrogant?
Zhu Tingzuo was stabbed, Wu Yi struggled to pick him up and stood in the air.

Zhang Mingyang also came in at this time, and finally announced his identity to the terrified and confused gentry, "This general is Zhang Mingyang, the commander-in-chief of the imperial camp guards, infantry, infantry, Shizhong Town, and from now on, Wujiang City is restored, long live the Ming Dynasty, and long live the Lu Jian Kingdom!"

The sudden news shocked the gentry into panic, and several of them fell limply to the ground in fright.

And at this moment, Wu Risheng, the white-waisted commander who was still carrying the corpse of the fake county magistrate Zhu Tingzuo, really believed that this was a Ming Wangshi.

The soldiers of the Northern Expedition regained Wujiang without bloodshed, and also incorporated three thousand white-waisted rebels by the way.

When Zhu Yihai rushed to Wujiang County from behind, before he had time to enjoy the joy of victory, Yuan Zongdi's urgent report was sent back. Wu Zhikui was ambushed when he attacked Songzhou, and the whole army was annihilated. Walk.
