Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 801 Rescue Tang Ruowang (5) (one more)
The garrison of the Beijing camp in the Qing Dynasty is equivalent to the military preparations. The Qing Dynasty followed the Ming system. Shengjing can now have such officials because of the influence of Ning Wanwo and Hong Chengchou. These Tartars are learning many things Ming Dynasty.

The garrison is an important person on the provincial road set up in the frontier or in the key points of each province. It is usually held by officials from the Inspectorate and the Chief Secretary. It is mainly responsible for maintaining law and order.

The current garrison of the Beijing camp in the Qing Dynasty, that is, the garrison of Shengjing Road, is named Yue Le. This person is also an elite of Aixinjueluo.

This person has a great reputation in history. Some people say that he is the second Dorgon.This is not an exaggeration. He once led his troops to kill Daxi King Zhang Xianzhong, and during the Kangxi period, he defeated the judge Wu Sangui.With regard to these two great achievements, others are far behind, and they are comparable to the regent Dorgon.

But now he does not have such a great reputation and achievements. Because of Zhu Yousong's crossing, after the Tartars entered the customs, they were driven out of Shanhaiguan in only one year. When they returned to their hometown outside the customs, Yue Le's fate also happened. changed.

He was supposed to be a prince, but now he is only a garrison of the Beijing camp.Because the current Yue Le is not the same as the all-powerful Yue Le in the history of the Qing Dynasty, at least because of Zhu Yousong's time travel, he does not have such outstanding military exploits, so he seems a bit mediocre.

A person's mediocrity, there are probably two situations.One is that he is really incapable and ineffective.The second is that he is underappreciated and has no chance to display his ambition and talent.The current Yue Le belongs to the latter situation.

But to say that the official position is not too small, the general defense is the fourth rank, but this is a Beijing official and Lord Baylor, who has Nurhachi's blood, so he is a third rank military officer.

The Green Battalion in charge of Shengjing is also a new type of army they have just established, compared to the Eight Banners soldiers.Since the Qing Dynasty failed to enter the customs, they felt that the strength of the Eight Banners was too limited, with a total of less than 20. Now they still have to rule the inherent territory of the Qing Dynasty and the northeast border of the Ming Dynasty (referring to Ningyuan, Jinzhou, etc. outside the Shanhaiguan Pass), And the vast areas of North Korea, Mobei Mongolia, and Moxi Mongolia.In addition, they also dreamed of going south to enter the customs for the second time. Of course, the 20 Eight Banners soldiers were far from enough.

Therefore, at the suggestion of Hanchen Ningwan and Hong Chengchou, the regent Dorgon established the green battalion.

The Green Battalion mainly absorbed surrendered Han Chinese, local Liao people, some Koreans and Mongols.After these three years of absorption and adaptation, the number of green battalion soldiers now far exceeds that of the Eight Banners soldiers, with 30 soldiers. Shengjing, the capital of the Qing Dynasty alone, has 10 green battalion soldiers.

The Green Battalion has become a backbone force for maintaining the rule of the Qing Dynasty in addition to the Eight Banners soldiers.Now the main duty of the Green Battalion is still to maintain local law and order and suppress civil unrest. As for the expedition to fight, it is mainly the Eight Banners soldiers.

Since Yue Le served as the garrison of the Beijing camp, he stepped up his training and strictly demanded that he must build the 10 green battalion soldiers under his command into a lion troop not inferior to the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry.

In the past three years, the 10 green battalion soldiers under him have shed a layer of skin under his strict requirements, so their combat effectiveness has also improved.

On this day, he suddenly got a report that Tang Ruowang had been taken away by Daming's spies.The commander-in-chief who guarded the church also died many people.

Yue Le was furious, the Ming army was too rampant, they dared to send spies in Shengjing to plunder people, this is the hinterland of my Qing capital, it's not bad!

Yue Le was worried that he would not have the opportunity to display his talents and ambitions, but this opportunity has come.Therefore, he did not rush to report to Shangfeng. Of course, his Shangfeng was the regent Dorgon, Xiao Shunzhi who was not familiar with worldly affairs, and Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.

Although this matter is important, he thinks there is no need to publicize it.It's just a few spies, how big a storm can it cause in this important place of the capital?It is his duty to maintain the law and order of the capital.In addition, he was a bit arrogant, thinking that it would not be difficult to solve the matter with his green camp, and there was no need to make a fuss. When these spies were caught, Tang Ruowang would be brought back.

Therefore, after receiving the report, he ordered the 5000 green battalion immediately, and asked Li Zhifang, one of his capable lieutenants, to lead a team to the vicinity of Zhang's old shop to assist Tang Ruowang Church in arresting the spies and rescue Tang Ruowang...

Liu Chunhong arranged a large number of Jinyi guards to meet Tang Ruowang, and now the carriage was still driving quickly to the south gate, and the more than 200 Tartar soldiers led by the general were surrounded by thousands of plainclothes Jinyi guards, killing and slashing 200 Many tartars did not persist for 10 minutes, and threw the corpses on the ground, leaving only dozens of people fleeing in embarrassment.

During the scuffle, the general was also stabbed in the arm. He never expected to suffer such a defeat, but he is not a fool. At this moment, he already understood that these spies from Ming Dynasty did not come one or two, but One batch, how many are unknown!This is an organized and premeditated espionage activity, not a simple robbery and assassination.

Therefore, the general manager hastened to bring the remnants of the defeated generals back to ask for help...

It was not far from the South City Gate. Liu Chunhong, who saw the victory was in sight, did not see Li Quan. She had a premonition that something was wrong, and asked everyone to leave Tang Ruowang's carriage first. She brought a group of Jin Yiwei to look for her husband.

After entering the alley, Liu Chunhong was holding a sword in front of her, and dozens of Jinyi guards were holding Xiuchun knives. Five or sixty people walked like flying, with a murderous look.

Now, the streets and small alleys in this area are completely deserted, and the idlers have long since run away. All the people living in this area, whether they are Tatars or Han Chinese, have closed their doors and closed their doors. They hide in their houses and dare not come out, for fear of getting tired. them.

Entering this long and narrow alley, and running a few hundred meters, only to hear the sound of fighting in front, Liu Chunhong and the others stepped up and rushed forward, wishing to have wings and rush to the scene of the accident...

Li Quan, the commander of Jinyiwei, killed more than 30 Tartars by himself with his own bravery, and the remaining dozen or so fled in embarrassment.But in this battle, he was also seriously injured.Relying on his amazing perseverance, he endured the pain, pulled out the arrow on his back and simply bandaged the wound, holding the knife and staggeringly not to run forward.

But before he ran far, the Tartar pursuers came up again.The dozen or so Tartars who were killed by Li Quan soon met two team officers with more than 100 people to support him. The soldiers joined together, and the three team officers led more than 100 people to continue chasing and killing Li Quan. .

Li Quan didn't have a horse now, and he was seriously injured, so he couldn't run fast, so he didn't run very far before he was caught up by the Qing soldiers behind him.

Some of these Qing soldiers had suffered a lot and knew that Li Quan was brave, so they shot arrows while chasing him.Naturally, Li couldn't stop. He was outnumbered and injured. Tang Ruowang and the others should have already left the alley at this time. He had to leave here as soon as possible.

The alley was long and narrow, and Li Quan couldn't fly up the high walls on both sides even if he wasn't injured.

So he had no choice but to run forward desperately, the sharp arrows whistling in his ears, he ignored it completely.

Fortunately, the alley was not straight, so the arrows shot from behind did not hurt him, but after turning a few corners, he couldn't run anymore.

He stood at the corner panting, the pursuers were getting closer and closer, he knew he couldn't run away, and planned to fight these Tartar soldiers to the death.

With the sound of horseshoes, as soon as they turned a corner, a large number of Qing soldiers rushed over.Li Quan, who had accumulated strength for a while, suddenly rushed out and fought with these Qing soldiers again.

At this time, nothing is more beneficial to Li Quan than this alley.There are high walls on both sides of the long and narrow alley, which protect Li Quan's side and back to a certain extent.

In this way, Li Quan cut down several Tartars in a row, but in the end he couldn't escape the random knives from other Tartars, and Li Quan also fell into a pool of blood...

These Qing soldiers were about to kill Li Quan randomly, and Liu Chunhong brought a Jin Yiwei and killed them. Liu Chunhong was like crazy, and these elites of the Jin Yiwei even vented their anger with the Qing soldiers. The corpses that fell to the ground were piled up in a mess, filling the long and narrow alley, and there were bloodstains everywhere.

"The head of the house?... How are you, the head of the house?..." Liu Chunhong hugged Li Quan, who was covered in blood, in her arms, calling out tears, and it took a long time for Li Quan to open his eyes again.

"First, sir..."

"Already headed for the south gate."

"Quick...quick, rush to the south gate...if it's too late, it's too late."

"President, hold on, we're leaving!" After Liu Chunhong bandaged his wound, a Jin Yiwei carried him on his back, left the alley, and headed straight for the south gate.
