Iron blood Suiming

ps: I'm sorry everyone, King De's daughter should be called the princess, and everything has been changed later.

Thanks to the book friend '122585' for the reward, thank you!

His voice is not loud, but half of the city can hear him clearly.The cavalry on the Liaodong iron cavalry could also hear clearly. Everyone was shocked at the moment. Amidst the thunderous hoofbeats, a person's voice could still be clearly heard in their ears, as if it was in their ears. How can you not be surprised when you speak in general?

The generals of Lingshan Guard did not dare to disobey Li Jianguo's order, so they could only stand on the top of the city and watch anxiously.The second thousand households urgently ordered all thirty cannons to be transferred to the gate tower of the west city, and ten thousand musketeers were prepared under the west gate. Take Li Jianguo into the city.

Although Li Jianguo said that he didn't care about it, and he didn't dare to violate it, he had to be prepared. If the adults were really in danger, they would kill their heads, and they would go to save them.At this moment, at the Juxian Building in Jinan, the six gentry Cao, Liu, Li, Zhao, Wang, and Kong took the lead, and the other small gentry gathered together, all sitting silently, no one spoke.

All of a sudden, a young fellow rushed into the building, looked around at the seats of the gentry, found the seat of his master, and quickly stepped forward. While the gentry in the room were watching, he walked quickly to the side of Master Cao, and said something in a low voice. sentence.

Master Cao suddenly stood up, and said happily, "Really?" The boy said firmly, "Master, it's true. The little fellow from the same country saw with his own eyes when he was carrying the log. They were all cavalry. That formation, even if Standing on the top of the city, the legs of the little fellow villagers trembled in fright."

Master Cao laughed, and quickly took out 20 taels of silver.He said to the boy: "The 20 taels of silver will be given to your fellow countryman, and he will report everything in detail. I will reward you a lot, sir."

The young man was also overjoyed, he kept his promise, and then he left the Juxian Building, but he didn't go to meet his fellow countrymen, but turned into a shop, found a scholar who was concentrating on writing, and immediately fell on his knees He held the 20 taels of silver high.Said: "My lord, what you said to the villain, the villain has already passed it on to my master. This is the reward he gave, and it is said that it will be rewarded to the villain's fellow villagers."

The scholar smiled slightly.Said: "Isn't your fellow countryman the same as you? Well, you can take the 20 taels of silver. Go there again later. Your family will be released from prison."

The boy was overjoyed.Called: "Thank you, my lord. On behalf of the whole family, I would like to thank you." The scholar chuckled, waved his hand, told him to stay aside, and then picked up his pen and wrote down the words "Heaven and man are one".

In Juxian Building.As soon as Mr. Cao's servant left, all the gentry stood up nervously except for Mr. Kong. Mr. Li was the first to ask, "Mr. Cao, but there is news about the officers and soldiers?"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Cao, if you have any news, it will make us feel at ease."

Master Cao smiled slightly, and said with a smile, "Don't be anxious, everyone. It is true that there was news from the army just now. The [-] cavalry from the imperial court have arrived at the city and are about to attack the city."

Although the gentry were prepared, they still coaxed, and all became excited. Someone shouted: "Namo Amitabha, but the officers and soldiers are looking forward to it."

"Yeah, the [-] cavalry must be from Liaodong. I think there will be a steady stream of troops coming from the official army. Jinan Prefecture is saved, and everyone is saved."

"Jinan Mansion fell into the hands of thieves for four days, and the imperial army came to the city, which shows how much the imperial court attaches great importance to our Jinan Mansion."

"It must be the emperor who fell into the hands of the king of Germany..."

……

……

A group of gentry chattered, as if seeing a savior.Only Master Kong's face was gloomy, and he sat on the side without saying a word.Mr. Cao was discussing with others with his beard curled up. Not only was he unhappy when he saw Mr. Kong, but his complexion was not good. He couldn't help wondering: "Master Kong, why are you upset that the imperial army is here?"

As soon as Mr. Cao said this, a group of gentry immediately noticed Mr. Kong’s abnormality, and looked over one after another. Seeing Mr. Kong’s expression was wrong, they all sank in their hearts. They knew that Mr. Kong was different from them. Among the gentry, it was to give them face. According to Master Kong's family background, let alone them, even if the six adults came, Master Kong would be able to sit on an equal footing with them.

why?Because Master Kong is the steward of the Confucian Mansion in Jinan Mansion, and the only Confucian man who is active outside.If you want to ask which Confucian mansion is it?Apart from the descendants of Confucius, who else can be worthy of the word Confucius?

Throughout the dynasties, no matter who won the world, the descendants of Confucius are all steady Yan Shenggong, enjoying the court's favor.Not only that, the Confucian Mansion also imitated the six departments, and set up six halls in the Confucian Mansion. .

A Confucian mansion actually imitated the six schools, but the imperial court ignored it. Only the Confucian mansion had this power, so one can imagine how powerful the Confucian mansion handed down by Confucius, as the sage of all scholars, is in the secular world.

Although Master Kong is just an insignificant member of the Kong family, he is still a remarkable figure outside.That's why he was so arrogant, sitting in front of all the gentry, his face sank like water.When others talk to him, they don't call him Master Kong, but Master Kong.

Mr. Zhao saw that everyone was asking questions, and Mr. Kong remained silent. He couldn't help but cupped his hands and said, "Master Kong, if you have something to say, I appreciate your kindness. Don't let us be kept in the dark. If we are not careful , Misjudgment, in the hands of Li Guo, it will really kill people."

"Yes, yes." All the gentry echoed in unison.

Master Kong finally opened his mouth, but what the gentry wanted to hear was not what the gentry wanted to hear, "You are all gone, don't cause trouble during this time, don't disturb the normal operation of the store, don't drive up prices, and don't contact the government and the army secretly. , Maintaining stability in the market may save your lives. I’ve said what I’ve said, and I’m leaving now. If you listen to me, you can go back to your own homes and take care of yourself.”

After speaking, Master Kong stood up and cupped his hands, ignoring the gentry's persuasion, and left Juxian Building.The gentry in the building looked at each other when they saw Master Kong's indifferent words, feeling bored and about to leave.Suddenly Master Cao said: "Well, their Confucian family has great achievements, and their ancestors are bigger than the emperor. Even if more than a dozen generations lie flat and do nothing, there is nothing for them to eat. But we can't, we all have a big family. I have to support my son. Let’s just say that the salt, grain, oil and tea can’t be brought in these few days, and my shop is running out of goods. If I still sell it at the original price, I will have to pay for it.”

"That's right. That's right, I don't have many goods in my shop."

"And my face."

……

When Mr. Cao said this, the gentry immediately poured out their bitterness. Whether it was true or false, they actually talked about it.It's just one word "rising".They just want to raise prices and make a fortune.In addition, let the Lingshan guards have a look.Who has the final say in Jinan Mansion.

It's just that they are afraid of Li Kaiguo's prestige, and the Anmin Notice issued by the Lingshan Guards clearly stated that anyone who dares to drive up prices and disturb stability will be executed by the whole family.So they didn't dare to make a move after counting for several days. Today, the gentry gathered in Juxian Building.Just want to find a way out.Everyone discussed and discussed, and they all felt that it would be fine if Jinan Prefecture was still under the rule of the imperial court. They could collude with government and businessmen and make a fortune.

so.The gentry will rejoice when they hear the arrival of the officers and soldiers.Although Master Kong poured cold water on them just now, the high profits are right in front of them, and they can't get the white money, which really makes them feel unwilling.

While the gentry were chattering, the scholar in the shop watched Master Kong's sedan chair go away, smiled faintly, and said: "The people of the Kong family are really extraordinary, the descendants of the saints are lucky. Alright, so that my lord won’t be charged with killing the Shengren’s family.” Who is this scholar?It was a secretary under Li Jianguo, named Liu Yuan, whose name was Wuzhang.

Liu Wuzhang said indifferently to the owner of the shop beside him: "If it were you, would you not be willing to part with this money?"

The owner of the shop said with a bitter face, "My lord, I will give you my property and life, and you will spare my family. If those gentry know that the villain allows you to plot against them in the store, they will not let the villain's skin be skinned by them." ah."

Liu Wuzhang laughed and said, "It's for skinning, but for their skinning. If they stay any longer, they will die soon."

Wu Sangui looked at the bank of the moat from his cavalry, a man in armor but no weapon in his hand, so he stood alone on his horse, and this man claimed to be Ben Fu, which coincided with the rumor that the thief Li Guo had stolen the governor of Shandong.

Wu Sangui was overjoyed, riding alone against the enemy like this was simply courting death.He raised his arm violently, and was about to order the whole army to attack, when the nominal deputy general Zu Zeyuan grabbed him and said: "Sangui, don't underestimate the enemy. As the leader of the bandits, how could Li Guo stand alone under the city? One of them must be There is fraud."

Surprised, Wu Sangui lowered his arms.He is also a suspicious person, Zu Zeyuan said so, immediately hooked his suspicion.He immediately ordered the whole army to stop.

The [-] cavalry reined in their horses at the same time, the horse neighed for a while, and it took a while to calm down. It was just that the dust in the sky was not easy to dissipate for a while, but the [-] cavalry didn't care. Just get used to it.

Wu Sangui looked left and right, but couldn't see any clues, so he immediately dispatched three groups of cavalry from the left, middle and right, each with [-] cavalry, to see if there was any ambush.Although he is young, he has led soldiers and horses for a long time. Although it is because of his father, it is because of ten thousand iron cavalry that he is subdued by him, so his father dares to bring ten thousand iron cavalry to him.So Wu Sangui dispatched the cavalry very smoothly, and did not make anyone pay attention at all.

Seeing that the three cavalry groups suddenly separated from the main group, Li Jianguo could not help but secretly said: "Sure enough, Wu Sangui is not an idle general. His reaction is fast, and he really has two brushes."

I saw the cavalry of the three routes go around in a big circle, searching each route carefully, trying to find out where the conspiracy lies.Although Li Jianguo stood on the bank of the moat, no one from the three-way cavalry went to trouble him.

Li Jianguo laughed loudly and said, "Wu Sangui, do you have the guts of a mouse? To tell you the truth, there is no ambush at all. I am here just to see what the defeated general Wu Sangui looks like, so as not to When Ben Fu cuts off your head, it scratches your face and makes you unable to recognize your appearance. When you tell people about beheading you in the future, others will say that Ben Fu is bragging."

Wu Sangui was furious, and so were the [-] cavalry. They all jumped forward and chopped Li Kaiguo into pieces.Zu Zeyuan shook his head, and said to Wu Sangui who was furious: "Sangui, don't be impulsive, no one knows if this person is Li Guo. But, just relying on his ability to convey the voice of the army. It's not true if you think about it." Ordinary people. How can such a person be a person who is willing to die? There must be fraud in it."

While they were talking, the cavalry who had been investigating from three directions drove back and reported back: "General, no ambush was found, everything is normal."

If they found something unusual, Wu Sangui and Zu Zeyuan would be relieved, but they couldn't find it, which made them more suspicious and dared not act rashly.

Li Jianguo saw that the ten thousand cavalry were not moving.Knowing that Wu Sangui was suspicious.He didn't know that among the [-] cavalry there was actually a lieutenant, Zu Zeyuan, who was Wu Sangui's nominal immediate boss, and his attempt to trap Wu Sangui was sabotaged by Zu Zeyuan, who had always been cautious.

Li Jianguo shouted again: "Wu Sangui, you dare not enter the army. Did you forget your courage in your mother's belly when you were born? If you don't come out again, I will go to the city." He insulted Wu Sangui's old mother.Immediately, the blood vessels on Wu Sangui's forehead bulged.He cried out, "Musketeers stand ready."

3000 of the [-] cavalry were equipped with bird guns. Upon hearing Wu Sangui's order, they unloaded their muskets from their backs and began to load ammunition.Li Kaiguo couldn't see what was going on in the iron cavalry, but the generals of the Lingshan Guard on the tower could see it clearly, and the second thousand households shouted urgently: "My lord, their musketeers are loading ammunition, you hurry into the city Come."

Li Jianguo hummed, knowing that Wu Sangui would not be fooled, so he rode his horse and jumped into the moat.The horses carried Li Jianguo and slowly swam to the other side.

Wu Sangui saw that Li Kaiguo was about to flee.Immediately he said anxiously: "Hurry up, the musketeers rush up, don't let him escape." The three thousand musketeers are very troublesome to recharge, and it is even slower to recharge immediately. They are not Lingshan guards, and the ammunition is all rationed. It has to be loaded according to experience, the amount of medicine is more or less uncertain, and they are even more anxious when they hear the urging sound. It can rush out and rush towards the moat.

It's a pity that they were too slow. Ever since Li Kaiguo moved, the No. [-] household had already ordered thirty cannons in the city to prepare for firing. When the three thousand cavalry moved, the No. [-] household immediately shouted, "Fire."

After the next breath, [-] cannons roared at the same time, and [-] flowering bullets were fired at the Liaodong cavalry team one and a half miles away at the same time. "Boom, boom, boom" cannons rang out, killing [-] cavalry and more than a hundred cavalry.This is still the result that more than half of the flowering ejections are off.

No way, the Liaodong iron cavalry marched in a column, and there were only four cavalry in each line, which could kill more than a hundred cavalry, and the hit rate was half, which was already the result of the extraordinary performance of the gunners.

Because both Wu Sangui and Zu Zeyuan were hiding in the iron cavalry, even if they were on the city tower, the generals of the Lingshan Guard could not find their positions. Therefore, the gunners did not directly shoot at Wu Sangui, but pursued the shooting with the greatest casualties, so Wu Sangui and Zu Zeyuan escaped unharmed.

They did not expect that there were so many artillery pieces in Jinan City, and they were able to shoot so accurately.Even if more than a hundred artillery pieces on the front line of Ningyuan fired at the same time, their hit rate was not as high as this time.

"Retreat, retreat quickly." Zu Zeyuan quickly ordered to retreat, and the [-] cavalry turned their horses around amidst the sound of gunfire, and retreated five miles away.At this time, Li Kaiguo had already rode his horse to the other side, and the second thousand household quickly ordered to open the city gate to welcome Li Kaiguo into the city.

As soon as Li Kaiguo entered the city, the [-]th household led all the generals to kneel down to welcome Li Kaiguo, saying in unison: "Congratulations, Governor Governor." Li Kaiguo raised his hands and said, "Get up." , riding a horse proudly forward.A group of personal soldiers immediately followed behind, and a group of soldiers was also placed in front, playing a guard of honor as the governor of Shandong.

The people in Jinan City heard the sound of the cannons, and they all thought that a big war was about to start, and everyone closed their doors and houses to avoid the war.Li Jianguo rode a horse on the empty streets of Jinan Prefecture, feeling very bored in his heart. No one is still holding a guard of honor. Who is it for?But there is no way, you still need to have the prestige you deserve, otherwise the common people will accept death, if you are easy and simple, no one will obey you.

The gentry on the Juxian Building heard the sound of the cannon, but they all jumped up, and everyone said: "There is a fight, the imperial army is attacking the city."

Master Cao laughed loudly and said, "The imperial court really values ​​Jinan Mansion very much. This large army attacked the city before it had a firm foothold, which shows that the imperial court has really shown us great kindness."

A group of gentry also smiled happily and said it was good.

Master Wang took a deep breath, and while no one else was paying attention to him, he slipped downstairs quietly, and left Juxian Building with his family.In fact, when Master Kong left just now, he wanted to leave, but everyone didn't leave, and he didn't make it.Although hearing the sound of cannons, it seemed that the officers and soldiers had begun to attack the city, but he was not uninformed. He knew the virtues of the officers and soldiers for real.

It is certain that the imperial court cannot abandon Jinan Mansion, after all, the capital of a province must never fall into the hands of thieves.But it is absolutely impossible to send troops to rescue so quickly.Four days, only four days, it is said that the nearest capital dispatched troops here, four days is not enough to gather the army.In addition to the food and supplies, the generals who are determined to lead the troops, with the efficiency of the Ming court, even if the emperor personally urges them, it will take half a month before they can leave.

This is already the fastest. If the normal speed is used, if the capital can dispatch troops in one month, it can be called super fast.Therefore, Mr. Wang expected that there must be something abnormal in it.He wanted to say it for everyone's reference.But Mr. Kong must know more than him, but he didn't say it, so there must be a reason why he can't say it.
