A huge fire broke out in Lifu Alley, making Wuwei City red.
"Fu Rong, it's bad, Yang Guanglie, Da Yuanzhen killed the general town." Li's defeated troops rushed to the south barracks in a panic and reported to Li Qihuang's eldest son, Liangzhou deputy general Li Zhenhua.
"What!"
Li Zhenhua gritted his teeth with hatred, raised his eyebrows, and said for a long time: "Quickly summon the garrison from all gates to meet at the south gate. I am going to massacre the Yang family and the entire Da family."
There are 2,600 green camps in Liangzhou, divided into four gates and the general military mansion. Li Zhenhua's military camp has more than 500 people.
Yang Guanglie and Da Yuanzhen searched Li's house but did not find Li Zhenhua's body.
"My dear brother, this thief must be in the military camp south of the city. If he is allowed to call in troops to fight, the Qing army will have more soldiers and our army will be less, and the situation will be critical. Why don't we take the initiative to attack the military camp south of the city while the Tatars have not gathered yet.
As long as Li Zhenhua is killed again, the overall situation will be settled," Yang Guanglie said to Da Yuanzhen.
"I am willing to follow my brother to eliminate the adulterer", Da Yuanzhen readily agreed.
Yang Guanglie, Da Yuanzhen, Yang Guangguo, and Yang Guangyu led hundreds of rebel troops to attack the military camp south of the city.
Because the military camp was built in the city and protected by the city, there were not many defensive facilities, just ordinary barracks. However, the Liangzhou Green Camp often countered rebellions and had been in battle for many years, so it could fight. The rebels would not be able to rush in for a while. Da Yuanzhen shouted: "Brothers, you have been military households of the Ming Dynasty for generations. Now the imperial court's 100,000-strong army is approaching Wuwei. If you don't return to the Ming Dynasty, when will you wait?"
Upon hearing the news of the 100,000-strong army, Liangzhou Green Camp became a little noisy.
Li Zhenhua yelled: "Brothers, don't listen to his nonsense. The Ming army only has a few thousand people, and they are still far from the power of Wu. If you kill them, you will be rewarded heavily!"
"Brothers, wait and see, what is this?"
Da Yuanzhen shouted again and asked his subordinates to throw the heads of Li Qihuang, Li Qipeng and Li Zhenyu in.
As soon as they saw these three heads, there was a commotion in the military camp. The snake could not survive without a head, and without its coach, the Qing soldiers were panicked. Li Zhenhua's prestige was not as high as that of his father, and he tried his best to suppress them, but the army was still in chaos.
When Yang Guanglie saw the opportunity, he ordered an attack on the camp. Da Yuanzhen, Yang Guangguo, and Yang Guangyu each led their troops to rush forward, and soon rushed into the barracks. The morale of the Qing army was already low, and seeing the fierceness of the rebels, they fled in all directions.<
/p>
Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Zhenhua wanted to flee to the Dongcheng military camp, but Yang Guangguo caught up with him and killed him with a knife.
As soon as he died, Liangzhou Green Camp completely lost its command. Except for a few people who escaped, most of them surrendered to the rebels.
Yang Guanglie and Da Yuanzhen gathered the surrendered troops and gained more than 2,000 men and horses.
Li Chengjue, the governor of Gansu Province, was so happy that he easily won Liangzhou. He praised Yang Guanglie and Da Yuanzhen for a while, "I have long heard that there are generals from the Yang family and Da family in Liangzhou. When I saw them today, they are indeed well-deserved."
.As expected of a family full of righteous men and loyal people from generation to generation!"
Yang Guanglie and Da Yuanzhen couldn't help but get red-eyed when they heard Li Chengjue praise that their family was filled with righteousness and loyalty for generations. The two families had fought for the Ming Dynasty for generations, and they didn't know how many loyal bones were buried in their ancestral graves.
"Thank you for your compliments, Commander-in-Chief. We live as Ming ministers and die as Ming ghosts. We sacrifice our lives for righteousness and do our duty."
"Okay, okay, the two generals are ready to follow my troops to Ganzhou," Li Chengjue said in high spirits.
He now has strong soldiers and horses, and a large number of people. After conquering Xining, Zhuanglang, and Nianbo, he subdued more than 4,000 returning troops, all of whom were incorporated into Ma Ning's subordinates, and gained 7,000 troops. After Hu Guozhu and Wu Guogui were supplemented in Lanzhou,
He led 6,000 soldiers and horses to arrive; his own 4,000 soldiers and horses; together with Yang Guanglie and more than 2,000 people in Yuanzhen, he already had nearly 20,000 troops, far more than the Qing army. In his opinion, seizing
The whole territory of Gansu can be explored and retrieved.
This seems to be the case. The army moved all the way to the northwest and successively captured Yongchang Guard and Shandan Guard without encountering any resistance.
The fact that they encountered no resistance is not because the Gansu Green Camp was vulnerable. On the contrary, they often fought against the Mongols and rebels. Although they were repeatedly mobilized and their numbers were small, they were very good at fighting. Longdi is also an important military area with many military forts.
, the defense facilities are complete. If you really want to fight every level, it will never be that easy.
The reason why he was able to easily defeat the two guards was mainly because Liu Dou, the leader of the Qing Dynasty who patrolled Gansu during the anti-war campaign, had a desire to return to the Ming Dynasty. In the name of concentrating his forces to defend Ganzhou, he sent the guerrilla Fan Chaochen's troops stationed in Yongchang Guard and Shandan Guard.
Two thousand green battalions were withdrawn to Ganzhou Wuwei to avoid conflict with the Ming army.
Ever since he kicked his friend Li Yu out of the house last time, Liu Dou had begun to want to return to the Ming Dynasty. But there was one thing that bothered him. The Ming Dynasty had appointed Cheng Yuan as the governor of Gansu Province. So where would he go, the governor of Gansu Province who had been granted the title of Manchu Qing Dynasty?
Governor Liu would not be happy if he was demoted or given a false position after returning to the Ming Dynasty.
Secretly, Governor Liu invited Li Yu back to the house several times and specifically mentioned the issue of treatment after returning to Ming Dynasty.
Li Yu told Zhang Bin, a member of the Jinyiwei Shaanxi Qianhu household. This matter was not something that a small Qianhu household could decide. Zhang Bin hurriedly reported to Tao Cheng, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and also informed Yang Qiaoran, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu. p>
Seeing the reports from Tao Cheng and Yang Qiaoran, Emperor Guangwu was both angry and amused. This Liu Dou was really a fan of officials. He was already in the army, but he was still in the mood to talk about his treatment. However, since they mentioned it, there was no need to make some arrangements.
Good. We should try our best to meet the demands for demotion. If they surrender, fewer people in our army will die.
Thinking of this, I angrily wrote eight words: Liu Dou is the governor of Shanxi, so I sent people to send it to Yang Qiaoran, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu.
"Humph, Liu Dou, Liu Dou, I can appoint you as the governor of Shanxi, or I can remove you at any time." Zhu Hengjia sneered and decided not to add the words "Admiral of Military Affairs" to Liu Dou's appointment. p>
The Ming Dynasty did not have the post of admiral permanently. If the governor added the words "admiral military affairs", he could manage both the army and the people. The emperor did not like Liu Dou, so if he did not add these words, he would not be able to interfere in military affairs.
.
With the eight words of personal approval from the Ming Emperor, things will be easier to handle.
Li Yu visited Liu Dou again and said, "Yaowei, Master Wang is approaching. Hurry up and turn to the light. This is the only way to avoid disaster!"
"You know what I'm thinking about when I'm banished to the mortal world. Alas," Liu Dou sighed.
Li Yu sneered and said, "You, you are too obsessed with fame and you don't live a cool life. Here, look at this." After saying that, he gave Liu Dou a piece of paper.
"What is this?"
"Yang Duxian specifically asked your Majesty for instructions on your matter. Your Majesty personally approved these eight words and gave them to Yang Duxian. I copied them down. Please take a look."
When Liu Dou saw it, it read: "Liu Dou can be the governor of Shanxi." He couldn't help but feel happy. Shanxi is a good place.
Immediately expressed his position, "Please report to Yang Duxian if you banish Fan, and I will immediately arrange for my subordinates to dedicate Ganzhou to the Ming Dynasty."
If you want to dedicate Ganzhou to the Ming Dynasty, you must control Ganzhou's army.
At present, the army in Ganzhou, with more than 2,000 flags, naturally obeys itself; Moro's 2,800 flags will never be lowered, and there is no need to ask. The remaining army, guerrillas and court officials have always been loyal to the Qing Dynasty
, it is difficult to win over his two thousand men; the guard Jiang Youcheng has a close relationship with Moro, which is not easy to deal with; Ganzhou deputy general Su Yangyuan is his confidant, and his three thousand green battalions can be won over.
