Chapter 147: Lord Hou must not be confused
Zhu Guobi, a Marquis of Funing, dressed in a white robe, cursed the two Zhang brothers and refused to save them when they were killed. Shi Gong, the commander of the Ferry Crossing, was afraid that the two Zhang's command would be in a state of chaos, so he did not dare to force others to leave the army. The Ming army had no chance of recovery.
However, Shi Kefa and his staff did not know that the two Zhang brothers wanted to send troops to rescue Funing Hou's troops at first, but Chen Hongfan, who was sent by the inner garrison to visit the army, stopped the two Zhang and said, "If you leave now, the southern capital will rely more heavily."
What does this mean? Don’t go. Zhu Guobi’s men are really defeated. Not only will you not be punished, but you will be more valued by Nandu.
"Didn't the Veterans Taiwan make my brother happy?"
Zhang Tianfu's words to Chen Hongfan were confused and he was not only innocent when he sat in the defeat of friendly troops, but also to be promoted to the title. This is a great thing.
"The words of the veterans are justified, but Shi Gong is at the ferry. If I don't send troops, will he ask someone to kill me?"
Zhang Tianlu must be more knowledgeable than his younger brother Zhang Tianfu. He knew that many people would not save friendly troops these days, and no one was punished by the court afterwards. To put it bluntly, only soldiers are the master.
As long as you have soldiers in your hands, not to mention not saving friendly troops, even killing good people, slaughtering cities and plundering people, the court will not say a word. Instead, you will continue to promote your official position and use it for you.
But the reason is this, Zhang Tianlu was still a little hesitant, because everyone knows that Shi Kefa is impatient and is the Minister of War who is the general of the army. If he gets angry, he will be a little wronged. After all, Zhang Tianlu is still the general of the Ming Dynasty, so he can't really ignore the orders of the supervisor and openly disobey the orders.
Chen Hongfan disagreed with it and said, "Hehe" and said, "Let's relax, Shi Kefa is anxious, but you brother have heard that he has the ability to manage the army? He has the result of defeating the enemy? He has the means of his boss Hong Chengchou?... Not to mention anything else, Yangzhou was trapped in the thief for more than 20 days, and his soldier came to Zhenjiang to supervise the battle. For this reason, I am afraid that he is not as strong as Zhou Yanru and Li Jiantai. Such a person, I don't think he will be brave enough to cure you, so I'll listen to me boldly."
Zhou Yanru was the former chief assistant.
Last year, when the Qing army entered the pass, Zhou Zi asked the army to supervise the army to fight, but when he arrived in Tongzhou, he did not dare to move. He also knew that the Qing army was eager to return and leave the pass, so he drank and had fun with his staff all day long and played victory every day.
Li Jiantai, the governor of Guangzong County, saw that the Grand Secretary's Department was like a bandit who refused to let him enter the city. As a result, Grand Secretary Li was so embarrassed that he ordered his troops to attack the city.
Li Jiantai, who was a presiding minister and the commander, actually attacked his own county town in the first battle after leaving Beijing, massacred civilians in the city, and beaten the magistrate. This is also an eternal strange thing.
Compared with these two, Shi Kefa is better and better, but his skills are a mess.
In the eighth year of Chongzhen, he followed Lu Xiang to pacify the enemy. In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, he was sentenced to commit suicide for several years. The court ordered him to make meritorious service. Later, he was killed by his father-in-law for three years and had no experience in managing one side and commanding the army.
He was able to guard the Nandu for the world's famous officials, but he was thanks to his teacher's kindness. If he changed to others, he might be able to be fooled, but he only followed his leader.
But during the Tianqi period, he was the general, had the seal of Pinglu General, and had seen too many people. How could Chen Hongfan, who had been ups and downs in more than ten years, look down on Shi Kefa?
While speaking, Chen Hongfan looked at the ferry far away, but saw defeated soldiers rushing from all directions, calling the sky and the earth. The officials at the ferry were in chaos, and there was no good way to solve this dangerous situation.
Even if Chen Hongfan had tens of thousands of soldiers on hand, he would not have sent one soldier or another.
Zhang Tianlu also looked over, knowing that Chen Hongfan was right to not allow him to send troops. His face was solemn, and then lowered his voice: "Does the veteran station mean to ask my brother to surrender?"
"Submit the thief? Which thief should I fight?" Chen Hongfan turned his head and looked at Zhang Tianlu with a look of surprise on his face.
"Of course, it's a thief,"
Zhang Tianluchao pointed at the thief army who was chasing Funing Hou in his sight.
Chen Hongfan said without thinking: "Li Zicheng? Bah, can you accomplish a big thing? If you throw yourself into him, you won't have time to buy a coffin!"
"What does the veteran platform mean?"
Zhang Tianlu is really confused now. If you, Chen Hongfan, hadn't meant to ask his brother to commit suicide, why would he and his friends be wiped out?
Zhang Tianfu was also surprised. He thought that the veterans were asking their brothers to bring the troops back to Zhenjiang. When the general Dashun army crossed the river, he raised the city to accept the wealth of the Dashun New Dynasty. However, the other party looked down on Li Zicheng so much.
"Don't think so many of you brothers, take care of yourself. Don't lose your soldiers unless you have to. At critical moment, wealth and life are all in this little force..."
Chen Hongfan looked sly and sneered: "As for the future, I wish I could say for a moment, this Ming Dynasty has been exhausted, who will be in the world in the future... Let's see again, let's see again."
When he said this, the powerful Qing Eight Banners outside the pass flashed in Chen Hongfan's mind.
"It is rare that Veteran Taiwan and my brothers say these heart-to-heart words. If my brothers do not know themselves, it will be useless to give advice like this from Veteran Taiwan."
Chen Hongfan said it was very certain, and the two brothers Zhang were very reasonable, so he ordered the soldiers who had already arrived ashore to withdraw quickly.
It is not so easy to get on the boat again after getting on the shore. It is naturally chaotic on the shore. Fortunately, the bandits are all at Guazhou Ferry, otherwise there will be two people who will suffer.
.........
On the other side of the ferry, Shi Kefa did not adopt Ying Tingji's suggestion to seize Zhang Tianlu's military power, but instead sent another scene of the story of the Xiaji Room. Zhu Guocai, a native of Xuancheng, sent another order to Zhang's troops to ask the two Zhang to immediately send troops to attack the thieves to break the siege at the ferry.
Now, without waiting for the eldest brother Zhang Tianlu to speak, Zhang Tianfu jumped up and pointed at Zhu Guocai's nose and cursed: "Send troops to send troops, what kind of bird soldiers are there? You white-faced scholar, what's the difference between sending troops and dying!"
Zhu Guocai is really a white-faced scholar, but the white-faced scholar does not understand military affairs, but has the feelings of family and country, and has the desire to serve the court. So he is not afraid of Zhang Tianfu. He repeatedly begged Zhang Tianlu to send troops quickly, but his begging was fruitless. He became more arrogant and brought out the general Shi Gong, saying that if the two Zhangs really don’t have to obey orders, the military law will be ruthless.
"Go, go, go, what kind of command is the commander? He Shi Kefa is not a Grand Secretary. Besides, the court is in the north and not in the south! If you really want me to send troops, come with His Majesty's order!"
Zhang Tianlu said in a muffled voice, making Zhu Guocai unable to speak for a long time. He returned to the ferry and said the two brothers Zhang directly. The staff and officials present were all indignant and cursed the two scumbags.
"Even if Zhang Tianlu is unwilling to send troops, there is no need to say such nonsense. Alas, what does this look like?" Zheng Hongkui also felt that the two Zhang brothers were too much and privately told the deputy generals and others.
"The court is in the north or not in the south? Yes, I am not the supervisor of the army, I am just a leisure minister in Liudu."
I don’t know if the defeat in the Battle of Crossing the River hit Shi Kefa, or the two brothers Zhang’s bastards that the general soldier, who was only 40 years old, was too sad. Shi Kefa smiled bitterly and said with great sadness: “The human heart is gone, and I can’t handle it.”
After saying this, he no longer had any strategy to tentatively defend, without saying anything about fighting or leaving, and he directly handed over the military affairs to his staff, looking at the rolling riverside with his hands and stood in a daze.
Seeing this, Ying Tingji and others had to come forward and persuade Shi Kefa, asking him to board the ship and return to Jiangnan quickly, and Xu Tu would clean up again.
However, Shi Kefa had already had the idea of dying for his country on the Yangtze River in Guazhou. He shook his head and sighed: "This place is my burial place."
"Shi Gong should not sacrifice his country easily!"
Ying Tingji and others were very anxious and persuaded him repeatedly, but Shi Kefa ignored him. Everyone had no choice but to let Zheng Hongkui send troops to build Shi Kefa on the ship.
"I am the army of Liudu, the general in charge of the army. Now, not only are I defeated by the bandits, but I can't even mobilize the generals of the town. Will I laugh at the thousands of people when I go back to Nandu?"

Shi Kefa was not tall and broke free from the soldiers in anger. He said that he would dare to use force again, so he jumped into the river.
Everyone was frightened and did not dare to force each other. They looked at each other and were helpless. The defeated soldiers flocked to him from afar, and the bandits behind him shouted and killed him.
The model guarantor of the inner garrison Ye Mingshui tried to lead his troops to resist the bandits so that the ferry could not be lost, so that most of the troops could be withdrawn with boats. However, the bandits were not only elite and fierce, but also very cunning. Seeing that there were many Ming troops at the ferry, they blasted the ferry with fireworks, causing the fireworks of Guazhou Ferry to be filled with thick smoke and could not be seen within about a meter.
As such chaos intensified, the Ming army had no fighting spirit and only knew how to run wildly, and even trampled on each other.
Many Ming soldiers could not see the objects, and they accidentally entered the Yangtze River mudflat while chasing them. They knew that their feet were trapped in mud, but they took off their cotton coats and moved forward. It seemed that they were going to swim across the river.
I just don’t know how many people can cross over.
Although Shi Kefa was unwilling to leave at the ferry, the officers and soldiers were going to survive. Many people scrambled to board the boat. The boat that was connected between the big boat was scrambled by dozens of soldiers. In order to get on the boat, the one who boarded the boat first raised his knife and slashed the one who fought later.
There are many broken fingers in the water.
It's really a wail.
Zhu Guobi, the Marquis of Funing, who had no reinforcements, called Tian Wumen among the defeated army, and felt that the King of Hell had a death talisman attached to him. No matter where he fled, there was always a thief who chased him to death. This was really deadly.
I am afraid that the white robe is too eye-catching, so the marquis immediately untied it, but instead of throwing it away, he ordered the family to tie it up and run somewhere else.
However, this move did not cause the bandits who pursued the Marquis to lose their target, but instead pursued him to death. Now Zhu Guobi had no choice. Seeing that the ferry crossing ahead had been squeezed out by the defeated soldiers, he was seeking death. So he ran to the riverside on the left.
I originally wanted to find a boat, but I didn't expect that there were all defeated soldiers here, and the bandits were chasing them. If the Marquis hadn't acted one step faster, they would have been caught.
In a big hurry, I had to run to the mudflats by the river.
Soon after, his feet were trapped in mud, but the Marquis continued to move forward with a heart-warming attitude, lifted and stepped on, and he became a clay figure in a blink of an eye.
There was no way, even if he couldn't swim, the Marquis could only move forward. There were many "clay men" like him, thinking that the thief would definitely not be able to tell who was who, and there would always be a chance to escape in the chaos.
When he walked into the river, he was afraid that there would be half a mile of land. The Marquis was so tired that he was panting. He thought that there were no thieves chasing him now, so he wanted to take a break, but when he looked back, there were more than a dozen thieves holding swords behind him, panting toward his place.
