The Great Bandit in Kangxi Year

Chapter 75 Unfavorable in the first battle
At this time, the "Third Prince of Zhu" Yang Qilong was a little disheartened, thinking of the rise and fall of his family, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

His father, Yang Jizong, was originally the distant nephew of Yang Lian, the censor of the left deputy capital in the former Ming Dynasty.Yang Lian was arrested and imprisoned for impeaching Wei Zhongxian. The huge Yang family fled to death, the family was destroyed, and Yang Jizong left under the pseudonym Zhu Ying.

In the early years of Chongzhen, Yang Lian's unjust case was vindicated, and Yang Jizong returned to Beijing.He bribed Zhou Quanbin, the cousin of Concubine Zhou, and soon got a position as the chief treasurer of Guanglu Temple.

On March 17, 29th year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng's army broke through the city of Beijing.In the middle of the night, Emperor Chongjiao rang the Jingyang Bell and called all the officials into the palace.When Yang Jizong rushed into the Forbidden City, the bodies of guards, royal guards, and maids were scattered everywhere, and the smell of blood was suffocating.At this time, Chongzhen had killed the princess, servants, maids and concubines, and fled to Meishan.

If Yang Jizong hadn't been well-informed, he would have been terrified when he saw these corpses.Just as he was walking through the palace, he suddenly tripped over a horizontal corpse, was thrown five or six feet away, and his hands were scratched.He was about to get up, but found that the dead man was holding a very delicate wooden box in his arms. He didn't care to open it for a closer look, so he picked it up and rushed back to the countryside overnight.

When Yang Jizong returned home and turned on the light to watch, he couldn't help but gasped.There is a Panlong golden button and jade seal inside!Under the jade seal is a yellow silk handkerchief with zigzag lines drawn on it. It turns out to be a treasure map!In the lower left corner of the silk handkerchief, there are densely packed small characters, stamped with the jade cauldron of Emperor Hongwu.Nearly 300 years old, it still looks brand new.

After thinking about it, Yang Jizong realized that several people died fighting for the wooden box.After Yang Jizong's death, this picture and the jade seal fell into the hands of Yang Qilong, which became his proof and capital for pretending to be the "Third Prince Zhu".

He also thought of his unique insight in developing the Zhong Sanlang Fragrance Association around the capital. One day, he had worked hard and put in all his effort. When he had 200 million congregations under his command, and the people everywhere regarded him as a god, Yang Qilong couldn't help being excited when he thought about it now, but It collapsed overnight, and the tens of thousands of trusted congregations of the capital were killed by more than ten thousand Tazi troops, and now there are only a dozen or so people around.

Yang Qilong gently caressed the jade seal, the treasure of the country, with indescribable tenderness, and suddenly heard: "Cousin, I heard from the people nearby that thousands of cavalry rushed towards Guangzhou yesterday. They were full of murderous intent, as if something big was about to happen." .”

Yang Qilong hastily wiped his eyes with the sleeves of the commoner clothes. Now, in order to hide his identity, he had already taken off the silk brocade clothes and changed into ordinary people's clothes. He settled down and said, "It's Cousin Lihua, come in."

They were hiding in a small village in Runing Mansion at this time, and it was Li Lihua and Wei Qingfeng who had had friendship with Jiang Tao who pushed the door open.

"Could it be that Wu Sangui rebelled? The Qing soldiers are sending troops to reinforce the front?" Yang Qilong's thoughts changed sharply, he immediately lifted his spirits, and said with a smile: "Okay, did the nearby Xiangzhu lead the crowd to gather?"

"There is no movement yet, cousin, oh prince, don't worry, maybe it's delayed by something." Li Lihua comforted her cousin when she saw that her cousin's anxious hair had turned gray again recently.

"Prince, it's really inappropriate to stay here all the time. It's better for us to wander around. I think everyone is wise. If there are people who don't listen to orders, let's get rid of them by the way. I heard that the thousands of cavalry are all from the blue flag. , or the only elite group of Manchu Tartars in Henan, no matter what, as long as we gather millions of congregations, we will not worry about the injustice of the world!" Wei Qingfeng sighed and said calmly.

Yang Qilong's heart thumped again, thinking that he almost encountered thousands of cavalry, he couldn't sit still anymore, he suddenly woke up, the bandits in Shandong rioted, and the incense masters from all over the place even heard the wind without waiting for his order, the result was nothing but They were dispersed in a few months, and the incense masters from all over the place either died in battle or fled.

But Hebei is arresting him everywhere, only Henan is still safe, Yang Qilong scolded his mother in his heart, seeing that he lost his power, these bastards would either hide from him or inform him, and he almost fell into the net of the Qing court .

"No, I can't stay here, I have to go. Now I can only go to Anhui to see it. It's really not possible. I have to hide my name and put my love in the mountains and rivers." Thinking of this, Yang Qilong stopped talking and went straight Take everyone away.

But Wei Qingfeng hesitated to speak, they gradually approached Gwangju, thinking of the wanton pride of himself and his junior sister in Gwangju and the wisdom and courage of Heihu, they just wanted to recommend this person to the prince, but they couldn't say anything, the prince always valued identity and Seniority, even if Heihu is recruited, he may not be able to use his skills, after all, he is a bandit leader, and the crown prince hates bandits and thieves the most now.

"Nocking the arrow!" Jiang Shi didn't think about it anymore, clamped his legs on the horse to stabilize his figure, and drew out the feathered arrow neatly, ready to shoot.

All the tiger and leopard riders remained silent, and all stared fiercely at the Tartars who were gradually approaching.

120 meters!
100 meters!
Jiang Shi endured and endured, but in the end he didn't give an order. He didn't want the other party to just make preparations and didn't shoot arrows, let alone turn around and run away.

80 meters!
"Shoot!" Jiang Shi roared, and at the same time shot a feathered arrow at the front of the Tartar army.

The same was true for all the tiger and leopard riders. Jiang Shi shot another arrow without even thinking about it.The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry performed at a super level this time, and the Tazi army also shot their bows and arrows at the same time.

There were more than ten riders missing behind him, and there were several screams. Jiang Shi didn't dare to look back, dodged a heavy iron arrow, and shot another arrow skillfully.

He began to panic in his heart, the tiger and leopard rode and killed more than ten people, if the young master knew about this, then...

When he checked the results of the battle, Jiang Shi was stunned. There were still 12 people on the other side, but more than ten horses fell down, and only fifteen tiger and leopard riders were left under his command. He glanced back in a crisis , This is a little bit of peace of mind, the loss of the tiger and leopard cavalry is not too bad, only three casualties, the remaining ten people just lost their horses, and they are still struggling to catch up to the center of the battlefield.

Fortunately, the tiger and leopard riders are agile, otherwise they would be shot down by the horse suddenly while running, and they would be seriously injured if they did not die.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was only 50 meters, and the other party grinned grinningly and shot a heavy arrow emitting a dark and cold light.

"I am invincible, kill!" Jiang Shi had no choice, knowing that there was no retreat at this time, he roared violently, and drew out the Qi family knife directly. He believed that his men would protect him properly.

Even if this victory is won, he can hardly absolve himself of the blame, Jiang Shi secretly regretted that he was reckless, thinking of how much the young master attached to tiger and leopard cavalry, he wished to die in battle immediately, and thinking of Jiang Xin's prudence and resourcefulness, he made a decision in his heart One decision, if he is still alive after this battle, he must recommend Jiang Xin to the young master, and give up the position of leader of the tiger and leopard cavalry himself.

But there was a lingering question in his mind, he obviously shot the opponent, and several Tartars had feathered arrows stuck in their bodies, but they didn't seem to be hurt?Is this where the Tartars rule the roost?
