Chapter 76: Go for it
"Salam!"
"puff!"
With one knife, blood splattered. The big cannibal was really bad.
Thirty years ago, he was slaughtered by Huang Chao, and all his money was lost, and he suffered heavy casualties. It took a long time to heal.
Thirty years later, as the trade became more and more prosperous, the cannibal seemed to have forgotten the blood flowing in the past, and happily settled in Guangzhou and operated business.
As a result, it was bloody today.
The Qing Navy soldiers rushed into every Hu merchant's house, held up the butcher's knife and rolled the heads. The woman was dragged into the military camp and disappeared in a short while.
No one dared to move the goods, and they were counted and pulled away by carriage. The warriors all knew that they were going to surrender, which was something that bribes to buy their lives. Don't stretch out your hands if you shouldn't. Of course, hide them secretly.
The next one is not harmful at all. Shangguan turned a blind eye and was relatively relaxed.
The places where Hu merchants lived were cleaned up, and other big and wealthy merchants saw it and were trembling. After being invited to the Jiedu Mansion, they only said a few words and expressed their donation.
As the most dazzling pearl in the Five-Guangzhou region, Guangzhou is very wealthy. Foreign trade brought them a lot of wealth, and was even famous during the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, providing a large amount of taxes to the court.
The taxes collected by the court were actually only a small part of the wealth, and the real big head was still in the hands of merchants. This is a fact that people in Guangzhou know. Liu Yin spoke very kindly, but the fate of the Dashi Hu merchants was there.
The persuasiveness suddenly became stronger.
The merchants who pledged donated did not look embarrassed at all. They were all righteous and gave money and goods very happily. But in one night, they raised 200,000 pieces of money and 500,000 pieces of silk, and all kinds of things they had heard of.
There are countless goods passed by - these are the goods that were originally planned to be traded with Hu merchants.
Many people donated the villas, farms, and forests outside the city without regretting it at all.
Even some people donated the goods from ships that had not yet returned to their voyage, which moved Liu Yin very much.
If I had known that everyone was so wise, I would have asked them more about money. If there was too much money, I could be able to consolidate my army and martial arts. Maybe there would be no defeat today.
A mistake, a mistake!
But now that things have come to this point, it is useless to sigh. Liu Yin is still very open-minded. After calming down his mood, he opened the city and asked for surrender on the fourth day of the second month.
His surrender also marked the change of hands of the Qing Navy. Even if there were powerful people in the local area, the generals and officials were still resisting and could not make a big wave. It would be easy to spend some time to fight for peace.
At the same time, the news of the fall of Guangzhou also spread step by step under the promotion of all parties.
*******
A large number of soldiers rushed into Guizhou City in chaos.
For a moment, the streets and alleys were noisy and noisy.
Lu Shizhou did not restrain the soldiers. He was not in the mood or in the prestige. Of course, it would be nonsense to say that he had no prestige at all.
Lu Shizhou was from Yangzhou. When he led his troops to besiege Hongzhou, he was defeated by Zhou Dewei.
As the son of Lu Ke, a meritorious general in Huainan, Lu Shizhou took over his father's position and was in charge of the Black Cloud Sword. He has been repeatedly suspicious and even threatened by Yang Wo.
The defeat in Hongzhou is not a crime of war. The other tribes were dispersed, and the four thousand soldiers he brought were affected. Can he blame him for the defeat? Moreover, on the way back, he also killed two generals of the Jin army.
Killing more than a thousand pursuers made the people of Jin frightened.
But he quickly figured it out. After returning from defeat, Zhu Siyi, Fan Sicong, Chen Fan and others might have nothing to do, but he might not have. Yang Wo saw that their meritorious officials were disliked and insisted on promoting Fang Yingyao who followed him.
People like dogs often punish or even kill old ministers. How can they get good results when they go back this time?
After he figured it out, he immediately ran west with more than a hundred personal soldiers and defected to Ma Yin, not even his family business, his wife and children.
When he arrived in Changsha, Ma Yin valued him very much and immediately entrusted him with military power to fight against the barbarians and return to victory. It was a small test. He was then sent to Guizhou to assist the governor of the Jingjiang Army, Ma Yin's eldest son Ma Xizhen and Ningyuan Army.
The confrontation between Lingnan West Road.
The former governor of Jingjiang Army is
Li Qiong was the one who was captured by him, but he passed away the same year before and was 68 years old.
Ma Xizhen is average in ability and is not very calm about the scene. To be honest, his style of singing with poetic monks and Taoist priests is not very popular with martial artists.
Lu Shizhou was sent to Guizhou in fact to help Ma Xi stabilize the situation.
After a while of contact, Lu Shizhou discovered that Ma Xizhen was not as unbearable as the legends outside. He studied poetry, songs, and banquets with literati and sang together, which were actually a means of protecting himself.
He is the eldest son, but this identity is useless. His father favors Yuan.
Ma Xisheng, the son of Yuan, is thirteen years old this year. He heard that he is very popular with Ma Shuai. After cultivating it, he will inherit the throne.
Although Ma Xizhen was appointed as the governor of Jingjiang Army, the officials and generals under his command were all Ma Shuai's men. He did not have the ability to win over him and did not dare to win over him. So he showed that he loved literature and did not make friends with generals.
Mr. Lu looked down on this a little.
If you are weaker, you should try it if you are dead. What if you succeed?
Whenever I think of this, Lu Shizhou wished that he was Ma Yin's son, became the governor of Jingjiang Army, and then when I returned to heaven, he raised his troops north to attend the funeral.
Of course, it's just a thought, now he has more difficult problems to deal with.
"Du Tou, Yanei has gone to the villa, not in the city." The relative walked over and whispered. With the help of his personal soldiers, Lu Shizhou took off his armor and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"I heard that in the past, I was exiled to Guizhou, and I wrote some poems. The yamen found someone to carve stones to commemorate them, and sang to each other with a bunch of Cuoda. I guess I will be back tomorrow." said the dear general.
Master Lu smiled.
He knew some literature and had read a few books at a young age. Later, he felt that he was really not in line with his own temperament, so he went out to be a wanderer until his father and King Ruo Wu became prosperous.
This is a fact that the literary style of this place is not strong. But sometimes some top literati will be welcomed because it is a good place to be demoted. Zhang said that he was exiled to Qinzhou and wrote "Send Envoys to Lingnan" and "Southern Central"
Farewell to Chen Qi and Li Shi" and other poems.
Shen Quanqi exiled to Annan and passed by Yong. When Rong Shi wrote "Entering the Gate of Ghost".
Song Zhiwen has "Fat Tengzhou", and Dai Shulun, Liu Zongyuan, Li Deyu and others also have poems - these top-level big shots have come to Wuguan, which has more or less driven the development of local cultural undertakings, making Wuguan a wild place like wilderness
It gradually became like a traditional Han area.
"Duzhu, do you want it?" the dear general asked.
Lu Shizhou put away the smile on his face and asked, "What's the situation in the army?"
"I am worried from Hunan, so I can't say what they think. Gui Guan is active in the local area, and it seems that he doesn't want to work hard for Ma Yin anymore." said the dear general.
Those who come from Hunan are not necessarily from Hunan, but also from Henan, Huainan, and Jiangxi. The first two are the remnants of Sun Ru's tribe back then, and now they are all generals. The latter is the new subordinate developed by Liu Jianfeng when he jumped west to Jiangxi.
Now he is a veteran and a small school.
And these people had a unified title in the official documents of the former Tang Dynasty: Cai Thief.
In the past, Wang Jianzhao in Qianzhong was the Cai thief, Zhao Kuangning in Jingnan was the Cai thief, Yang Wu's elite Heiyun Changjian Army was the Cai thief, Qian Liu's elite Wu Yong were all the Cai thief, Wang Shenzhi in Fuzhou was the Cai thief, and Ma Yin in Hunan was the
Cai thief...
The real Cai thief and the fake Cai thief of "Cai Hua" are all Cai thieves.
"Are you sure?" After hearing what the dear general said, Master Lu felt relieved and asked repeatedly.
"How can this matter be determined?" said the dear general helplessly: "Du Tou, you are also an old martial artist. You should know the martial artist's mind." Lu Shizhou chuckled twice and punched him.
It is actually hard to say whether warriors rebelled or not.
When you are at a critical point, if there are external incentives such as people with a wide range of interactions, clamoring, raising their arms and shouting, it may be the opposite. There are too many examples of this.
If the main general keenly smells an unusual breath and takes decisive measures, it may be suppressed, such as Duan Xiushi in the Jingyuan firefighting incident.
In other words, many warriors have no objection to rebel or not, and they just follow the crowd. Generally speaking, they are in a state of being held captive by the thorns.
"Who did you bring with you when you left the city?" Lu Shizhou asked again. "The personal army took it away and collects food and grass by the way." The personal general said.
"Ma Xizhen has only such a skill." Lu Shizhou smiled. He said it was "grain collection", but it was actually robbery.
The martial artist is rebellious and Ma Xizhen cannot control him. He can only use this method to appease and please them, and make generals like Lu Shizhou look down on the battlefield. Literature cannot be a general, a prince or even the emperor. Do you know if you don’t have this ability?
"You act separately and gather all the trustworthy people together, wear armor and hold weapons." Lu Shizhou ordered.
"As for the order." When the dear general heard this, he was excited and immediately took someone to join him.
Master Lu Zhou entered Duyuhousi and sighed in his heart.
At that time, he killed many Jin soldiers outside Hongzhou City. He was afraid and dared not to join Xia, so he turned to Ma Yin. Now he seems to be a little wrong. Zhou Dewei should not be a person of small size, so he would not have treated him too much.
prejudice.
Besides, Zhou Dewei may not have the right to deal with the surrender of his generals. He also heard about the behavior of the Emperor of Daxia.
Fighting each other in the battle formation is the duty of a warrior. As long as there is no despicable plan that both humans and gods are used, they will not be investigated in the past when surrendering. This kind of mind and demeanor is indeed only possessed by the emperor.
Unfortunately, I didn't figure it out for a while and went wrong. Finally, there was still a chance to make up for it. If Guizhou was surrendered, maybe there would be some luck.
However, it was a little risky after all.
Why did Ma Yin dare to let him serve as the commander of Ma Bu and assist Ma Xizhen? Isn’t it because he is a foreign general who has some ability to assist his son?
During his time in Guizhou, he performed very well.
He attacked each other with Ye Guangluo and Shao Desheng. Overall, he won more than he lost, so he accumulated a good prestige in the army. Taking this opportunity, he also placed part of the more than 100 personal soldiers he brought.
Be an officer or a local prefecture and county magistrate.
This time, taking advantage of Shao Desheng to lead troops to attack Liu Yin, he led more than 10,000 troops south to attack Rongguan.
First, they defeated Ningyuan's army in field battles, and captured more than 2,000 prisoners and killed more than 2,000. Ningyuan's army marched Sima Pang Juzhao fled in a hurry and defended the city to the death. To be honest, if Ningyuan's army had not been confident with Xia Ting, these people might have surrendered.
The city around Lu was unable to defeat it for a long time. It was not until the city of Guangzhou was broken and the news of Liu Yin surrender came that Lu Zhenzhou ordered a large plunder of the countryside and returned to Guizhou. Pang Juzhao did not dare to pursue it.
With these real military achievements and the dedicated win-win, he received the support of some local soldiers and generals in Guiguan, which is all his capital.
He was a little risky, but he was not ready to wait. Anyway, Ma Xizhen's prestige was about nothing. If you take a try, maybe you will succeed?
