Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 171
Walking out of the magistrate's yamen with the two pictures in his arms, Song Qingshu's mood was completely different from when he came in, becoming relaxed and joyful.

Just like in history, Hong Chengchou has zero tolerance for Wang Zuohang's attitude towards Wang Zuohang, who used the name of Zhao'an to support his own power. Nine thousand pairs of elite frontier soldiers.

Four thousand are in Yan'an Mansion, most of them are from the Jingbian camp, the elite soldiers of the Great Wall drawn from the Liushujian Fort area, led by General He Huchen, and the remaining five thousand are in the Northeast Loess Plateau, which Song Qingshu didn't notice at all. There is no water source and no people. In the heart, there are one thousand elite frontier cavalry and four thousand frontier soldiers.

Song Qingshu passed by that place, the ground was so dry that it was about to crack, the tigers were scorching hot in the autumn of August, and there was not even a puddle in a radius of a hundred miles. Song Qingshu couldn't stay for a day, but Du Wenhuan, the general soldier, gathered the frontier army It's been there for almost ten days, but Song Qingshu, who was still hidden, was not found by the scouts hunting around for food.

If he suddenly got under the guard, he would be caught off guard.

Fortunately, the matter has nothing to do with him. Just now Zhang Zishou fully revealed Hong Chengchou's plan. On August [-]th, in the name of discussing salary, Du Wenhuan personally brought hundreds of relatives into Wang Zuogua's army, and hosted a banquet for Wang Zuogua and Wang Zuogua. He took the opportunity to kill the leader of his subordinates, and immediately the officers and soldiers raided Wang Zuogua's army, eliminated all the leading figures under Wang Zuogua's command, and completely controlled Wang Zuogua's army.

Today I happened to go to the city by myself, and under the name of Ma Maocai, Zhang Zishou entertained himself. It was one thing to test him, and the other was to comfort him. Let Song Qingshu obediently farm for Hong Chengchou. Don't have any ideas.

The matter did not have anything to do with Song Qingshu at all. After discussing for a long time, Zhang Zishou finally revealed to Song Qingshu that Hong Chengchou planned to incorporate the soldiers and civilians under Wang Zuojia's command and the guard on the other side of the Fen River into his command, and this year's public rations would not be used If you pay, you can just support the soldiers and civilians under your command, and plan to promote yourself, from the capital to the guerrilla general!

This is from the fourth rank, which can be regarded as a high-ranking military officer. He can lead the rangers to and fro on his own. If Wang Zuohang's soldiers and horses were swallowed, Song Qingshu would have a population of 5, which is 2 less!That strength is really called geometric expansion.

The other guards are all guarding the city, with 600% farming. The 600-strong David’s house can actually only mobilize [-] people to fight. There are high-yielding crops such as corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes. Song Qingshu is different, [-] strong men He can at least organize tens of thousands of troops, and with the knowledge of some advanced military enthusiasts from later generations, he will have a considerable force under his command.

It is not impossible to establish a foothold in Shaanxi. When the time comes, you should be careful and get the right form. Maybe when Li Zicheng occupies Huguang, Henan, he can also make a career in Shaanxi, stabilize Li Zicheng, and leave the capital at least not to allow the Qing army to enter the pass. The excuse is not impossible!

Now that Zhang Zishou gave himself the map of the marching formation, Song Qingshu was relieved by the exposed Du Wenhuan's troops. Holding the map, he leisurely got into the carriage, and even Li Tiezhu, who knew the general idea, was relieved a lot. tone.

"Thank you, Mr. Ma, for your hospitality. Song is very grateful!"

"Where is it, Mr. Song's great kindness and great virtue to protect the people of Yan'an Mansion back then is really grateful, and Ma's life was saved by Mr. Song, so it should be Mr. Ma who thanked me! "

Playing and doing a full set, Song Qingshu has spies in Yan'an Mansion, who knows if Wang Zuogua has the gate of the magistrate's yamen, Song Qingshu's face is red, and he bids farewell to Ma Maocai loudly, but Ma Zhifu's farewell voice is a bit more sincere, but For Song Qingshu, whether he flattered Hong Chengchou, or was he really grateful for Du Wenhuan's washing of the city, it didn't matter at all to Song Qingshu, they hugged each other, Song Qingshu hugged the map, Li Tiezhu opened the door and jumped into the car gracefully.

The two soldiers in the front were driving the carriage, and the three soldiers in the back were sitting on the luggage rack. The brisk four-wheeled carriage disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye, and Song Qingshu's satisfied laughter could be vaguely heard as he watched him off. After leaving, Ma Maocai returned to the Yamen satisfied.

But not long after Song Qingshu left, a violent coughing sound suddenly came from the gate of the magistrate's yamen. He covered his mouth and coughed several times in a row, and a face full of pockmarks was revealed from the moonlight. , as pale as a corpse, staring at Song Qingshu's leaving direction full of resentment for a long time, the man spat viciously, turned his head and returned to the yamen.

The two yamen servants at the door bowed their heads neatly and respectfully.

"Captain Ma, you are back!"

…………

Saying goodbye to Song Qingshu, Zhang Zishou is also busy. Getting rid of Wang Zuogua this time is of great importance. After getting rid of him, there will be no major rebel forces behind the Yan'an Mansion. Hong Chengchou can concentrate on attacking the Qingyang Mansion area. The rebellious Shen Yiyuan and Li Laochai's army fought several decisive battles.

Moreover, this action is against Hong Chengchou's plan to appease Shangguan Yang He. This is a big taboo in the officialdom. Once the situation in Yan'an Mansion finally stabilized is ruined, if Yang He clings to Hong Chengchou, with the protection and trust that the current Holy Majesty has in Yang He, his benefactor might really have to go back to his hometown and return to his old business to sell him. If the stinky guy goes, he will naturally have to follow the bad luck.

Therefore, there is no room for any mistakes!

Zhang Zishou can be regarded as a capable person. He took the battle map planned by Hong Chengchou and studied it in the middle of the night until the early morning. , the staff and civil servants who followed Zhang Zishou also walked in with red eyes, a little tired.

"What is the order of the seat master?"

After handing over the letter he had finally written, Zhang Zishou said wearily: "You should immediately take this letter to Du Wenhuan's camp, the commander-in-chief of Heifengkou. You will also stay in Du Wenhuan's army these days, supervising the actions of the army. Remember, this Song Dusi is very important to the governor and to our Yansui Town, only destroy the bandit army north of the Fen River, Wang Zuogua, do not harass the south of the Fen River by one soldier!"

Still a little worried, Zhang Zishou leaned forward especially and exhorted.

"Zichong, this time alone supervising the army is also a test for you. As long as this matter is successful, Mr. Hong will definitely have important responsibilities in the future, and your wish to honor the lintel of your Li family can also be fulfilled. Remember, you must Don't touch Song Dusi!"

"Master, don't worry, Zi Chong saves it!" The bookish staff bowed respectfully again.

He nodded in satisfaction, feeling tired, Zhang Zishou yawned heavily, and immediately waved his hands: "Okay, you can go to work!"

"Zi Chong resigns!"

Backing out with a letter, the staff member was loyal to the matter, and immediately went to the backyard. This time Zhang Zishou came to bring more than a hundred Hong Chengchou's trusted soldiers, ordered four people to follow him, and five war horses went along the backyard of the magistrate's yamen. ran out.

At this time, the city gate had been closed for a long time, and after galloping for more than a quarter of an hour, the staff surnamed Li held up a token in front of the city gate and shouted loudly: "Master Governor's military order, hurry up for five hundred miles! Open the gate quickly!"

The yawning defender was reluctant to be kicked up, and pushed open the city gate, Wuqi didn't stop for a moment, and quickly rushed out of the city again.

However, before the guard guarding the gate came back to sleep, there was another loud roar, mixed with some violent coughing.

"Military order from the governor, hurry up for five hundred miles! Open the door quickly!"

Looking at the dozen or so knights in the military uniform of the governor's army in the dark night, and looking at the blurred military order board, the gatekeeper couldn't help but yawn: "There are so many things tonight!"

But this guy didn't know, he lost four lives in a daze!

Half an hour later, on a hasty battlefield, four corpses glistened with blood, lying down next to the pipeline one after another. Several crossbow arrows, and several deep wounds were a little hideous even in the morning light. Li surnamed The staff were trapped in the middle, seeing a few blurred people riding around viciously on horseback, and looking at the leader who was coughing constantly, they couldn't help shouting sternly.

"Captain Ma, kill the governor's personal soldiers, hijack the documents and supervise the army, are you planning to rebel? Master Hong has treated you well! I have no grievances or grudges against you, you must think clearly!"

There were two more violent coughs, and the soldier officer suddenly laughed sullenly.

"Don't worry, Mr. Li, I don't have any malice towards you. I just came here to tell you who destroyed your Li family, who sent your father to Dingbian Fort, and died of a sudden illness! Lest you leave any regrets in the future!"

In an instant, his face became ferocious, his fists clenched and rattled like a vicious beast, and he was stunned for a long time before the staff surnamed Li yelled in disbelief.

"Who!"

Seeing his hateful gaze, he coughed twice again, the officer's pockmarked face still stained with blood couldn't help showing a complex expression of complacency, hatred, and resentment.

…………

"Ah!"

Unexpectedly, he sneezed, Song Qingshu suddenly got up from the bed, rubbed his nose, turned back quickly, looked at the following documents and maps under the pillow, and then put his heart in his stomach again.

"Brother, didn't you catch the wind and cold last night? Let me see!"

Leng Buding caressed her head with a cool little hand, Caiwei was full of concern, but the quilt fell, and the spring light under the bellyband made Song Qingshu's eyes straight again, and immediately smiled wretchedly and took Caiwei's delicate body In my arms.

"Oh, brother! Don't make trouble!"

"What is trouble! Isn't it the responsibility of the concubine's family to carry on the family! Last night, I read the "Book of Filial Piety", your brother and I felt the great responsibility!" The mood became lighter, Song Qingshu couldn't help crying, and his hands and feet also changed. I have to be dishonest.

The mischievous hand slid in along her bellyband, held her bulging sac, her face flushed instantly as if bleeding, clutching her bellyband, Caiwei weakly made the last resistance, and yelled in a waxy voice .

"Brother, it's almost dawn! No, you can't prostitute yourself in the daytime!"

"Never mind him, I'm fine today anyway! In the past two days, brother will accompany you for a stroll around the city!"

With a cry of surprise, the bellyband embroidered with mandarin ducks fluttered off the bed, and then there was another burst of crackling rain, and even the bed was shaken and creaked... …
