PS: I wish you all a happy Chinese New Year, a happy family, and a prosperous new year!
Chapter 422 The War Situation in the Central Plains
After seeing Yun Ya, the smile on Wen Laishun's face disappeared, and all the viciousness disappeared. At that moment, the last straw in his life fell. Wen Laishun's biggest reliance has always been the account books in his hands.
, he has the details of businessmen all over Zhejiang and knows the financial resources of many people, so Du Fushan and the others have to endure and respect him. No matter how fierce Wu Xin screams, there is still no need to be afraid.
For people like Du Fushan and Wu Xin, account books are too important. Without these account books, they would not be able to obtain sufficient wealth as before. These local gangsters in Zhejiang are not easy to deal with. They have nothing to do on weekdays.
Will they obediently hand over the money?
As a result, his biggest support was given to Hailanzhu by Yunya. Wen Laishun didn't understand, and Wu Xin didn't understand either, why Yunya did this? Wu Xin's face was uglier than Wen Laishun's, and the account books fell to
In the hands of Hai Lanzhu, it would be even more troublesome.
"Why, you bitch, why do you do this to me, I'm so good to you... How dare you betray me, betray me, ah ah ah ah..." The text comes as follows.
The madman kept roaring, and after a while, he ran down the small building, stood on the steps and stared at Yun Ya fiercely, his sinister eyes almost devoured the person.
Facing Wen Laishun's questioning, Yunya didn't have much fear. She was originally standing behind Hai Lanzhu. When Wen Laishun stepped forward, she walked to the front and was only a few steps away from Wen Laishun. At this time,
Wen Laishun's hair was disheveled and his clothes were a little messy. He looked like a lunatic. There was also a trace of intolerance in Wen Ya's eyes. She sighed: "Mr. Wen, the slave family remembers the good things you did to the slave family. However, you can't do what the slave family wants to do.
When the bandits come, you only think about protecting yourself. When the bandits leave, you only think about how to keep that one-third of an acre of land and how to make money. The slave family cannot accompany you to waste your life like this. There is no other way. The slave family can only
I can give it up and leave..."
Wen Laishun didn't really go crazy, he just suffered repeated blows and couldn't bear it. After a long time, he pointed at Yunya and said coldly: "What do you want? Is there anything I can't give you?"
"The slave family wants officers and soldiers to suppress the bandits, kill Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng, and avenge my father and fellow villagers. Can you do it?" Yun Ya stared at Wen Laishun, and then added: "Mr. Wen,
My family’s name is not Yunya, my real name is Gu Liuxian, and my father is Gu Tongjun, a counselor in Nanyang Prefecture.”
In just one sentence, Wen Laishun was speechless when asked, especially his true identity, which was even more unexpected. Nanyang Prefecture Counselor Gu Tongjun and the Nanyang Prefecture's family died tragically in Nanyang City. This incident shocked the court, but no one could
Unexpectedly, the charming Yunya in front of him turned out to be Gu Liuxian, the daughter of Gu Tongjun. In an instant, everything became clear. The corners of Wen Laishun's mouth twitched, while Wu Xin's face turned pale.
At this moment, I finally understood why Cao Wenzhao was able to renovate Qionghua Villa accurately, and why Tie Mo knew everything about Hangzhou even though he was not in Hangzhou. It turns out that everything was caused by Wen Laishun, and there was such a person around him
What kind of secrets could a woman hide? The funny thing is that in the end, Wen Laishun actually handed over all the account books to Gu Liuxian.
Wen Laishun also understood his own stupidity. It was a scam from the beginning, and his life was ruined by Gu Liuxian. He did some outrageous things for her, but in the end, she broke the last straw that saved her life.
Lost it. Standing on the steps, Wen Laishun didn't say anything for a long time. For a while, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, roared, and rushed forward, "Bitch, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you...
..."
Wen Laishun really wanted to kill this woman named Gu Liuxian, and wished he could drink blood and eat meat to relieve his hatred. He stepped forward step by step, but a cold light flew from a distance, and with a pop, he saw
A steel knife was accurately inserted into Wen Laishun's chest. He just reluctantly moved forward and fell to the ground without making a sound.
It was the man next to Hai Lanzhu who committed the murder. It was only then that Wu Xin noticed this man. When he took a closer look, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Isn't this Liu Guoneng, another warrior under Tie Mo's command? Wen Laishun
After her death, the account books fell into the hands of Hai Lanzhu. The key is that Hai Lanzhu used murder to tell everyone that the account books were in her hands. At this time, the Sansi Yamen was completely passive.
With the account books in hand, how many people will turn to Tie Mo? From now on, the Zhejiang shopping mall will no longer be monolithic, but will be completely divided into two groups. The account books record not the money, but the way those people get their money. In this world, no one
Isn't it hard to choose between being stuck with interests and having your money cut off, or making money with Donghai Trading Company?
Wen Laishun's death seemed a bit sudden, and the angry Hangzhou people felt as if he had been punched on cotton. However, the man was dead and the storm was over. The poor ones were those who had no children. When Sansi
When the yamen was still worried about the accounting books, Xie Zhi, the prefect of Hangzhou, used the name of the prefect yamen to spend a large sum of money to appease the victims. This move won unanimous praise from the people of Hangzhou.
In the following days, everything went as Wu Xin imagined. Some Zhejiang businessmen quietly turned to Tie Mo. No, to be precise, they chose to cooperate with Donghai Trading Company. Sansi Yamen could only stare at this and do anything.
No. In normal times, you can intervene forcefully, but now the Donghai Trading Company is backed by the Royal Navy, and its fists are very strong. What makes Du Fushan even more worried is that the Dongwan Shipyard is working in full swing, especially the Dongwan Ordnance.
Therefore, the sound of cannons has been heard frequently recently, making Du Fushan uneasy. The new artillery has been slowly installed on the warships, and now Xu Wenhai's back is even harder.
The new artillery has been used for a long time, and all aspects of technology are already very mature. Moving it to the warship only reduces recoil and other problems, so the entire improvement process proceeds very quickly. After seeing the power of the new artillery, Xu Wenhai was so excited
He was full of praise and wanted to sail to the sea immediately and fight Zheng Zhilong. However, Tie Mo stopped Xu Wenhai's thoughts in time. It was not that he would definitely not be able to defeat Zheng Zhilong, but that there was no need to do it now.
There have been too many things to worry about recently, and Zheng Zhilong has not done anything. There is no need to conflict with Zheng Zhilong at this time. Tie Mo knows very well that the longer it takes, the better it is for him. He will wait for the new warships to be put into use, plus the ironclads
The technology has become a new type of artillery, and Zheng Zhilong will not be a threat at all. At this time, it is time to concentrate on development and avoid trouble. In addition, Tie Mo is most worried about the war situation in the Central Plains, and the situation there is not optimistic.
At the end of May in the fourth year of Chongzhen, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and Gao Yingxiang's headquarters entrenched in Runing Prefecture also became lively. Wang Yan, Li Zicheng and others took turns to harass the southern prefectures and counties of Kaifeng Prefecture, but they did not occupy any one place. So. This behavior made the Kaifeng Mansion overwhelmed, and its head was as big as a bucket. Yuan Chonghuan's 40,000-strong army traveled around Yuzhou, always trying to find the main force of the peasant army to fight a big battle, but they could never catch a fighter opportunity.
On May 27th, a drizzle fell from the sky. Li Zicheng took Li Yan as the vanguard and more than 5,000 troops once again came to Xihua Town, Kaifeng Prefecture. At this time, Yuan Chonghuan's main force was searching for Wang Yan's troops in the Linying area. After being trapped in Xihua Town, they immediately fell into a dilemma.
Xihua Town is located in the middle of Kaifeng Prefecture, connecting the north, south, east and west. If Xihua Town is not protected, the entire Kaifeng Prefecture will not live in peace. Min Zhengyuan, the prefect of Kaifeng, urgently transferred Li Zhengqian, who was stationed in Tongxu, to command the troops and horses to go south, and wrote a letter Inform Yuan Chonghuan and hope that Yuan Chonghuan can go south to Xiangcheng and force the rogue bandits to withdraw.
Min Zhengyuan's idea is actually very simple. The Runing Mansion is in chaos. It has already been ruled by rogue bandits. Runing Mansion can't control it, but Kaifeng Mansion can't let anything happen again. No matter what, just drive the rogue bandits out of Kaifeng Mansion's territory first. .However, Min Zhengyuan did not expect that Yuan Chonghuan would be furious after the official document was delivered to Linying. Yuan Chonghuan clapped the official document in his hand, and his face became very ugly, "This Min Zhengyuan, at this time, he is still thinking about his little calculations."
As the prefect of Kaifeng, Min Zhengyuan hopes that there will be less trouble in Kaifeng. This is understandable. However, in Yuan Chonghuan's view, this is wrong. The bandits are raging in the Central Plains, so they should try their best to find opportunities to eliminate the effective forces of the bandits. Otherwise, there is no way to suppress the bandits. Who else? They are all like Min Zhengyuan, they all want to clean up their own troubles. As long as the bandits don't come to my place to cause trouble, then they don't bother to care about it. How can this work?
"Hu Hangjin, you immediately lead your troops eastward and enter Changshe Town. I will lead the main force to support you at any time. As long as the bandits dare to touch Xihua Town, you will keep an eye on the bandits. We will be in Xihua Let’s fight the bandits.”
Hu Hangjin quickly stood up and accepted the order, but asked hesitantly: "Master Yuan, if we do this, how should Master Min respond?"
Yuan Chonghuan didn't even think about it. He raised his head and snorted disdainfully: "What's the reply? Min Zhengyuan just thought about driving away the bandits. Isn't this a good idea? Furthermore, as the governor of three provinces, I have important responsibilities. What should I do? , do we still need Min Zhengyuan’s consent?”
Hu Hangjin and others were speechless for a moment. Master Yuan's words sounded reasonable at first, but if you think about it carefully, they made no sense at all. It is true that you are the governor of three provinces, but if you are in trouble with various officials in Henan, Being stiff will not do any good in the future. Youdao is the highest level of officialdom. When the governors of the three provinces speak, you have to listen whether they are right or wrong. But secretly, Hu Hangjin feels that Mr. Yuan is not a good person anymore.
On May 28, Li Yan took the lead in launching a tentative attack on Xihua Town with a thousand soldiers and horses. At this time, Hu Hangjin's soldiers and horses also arrived at Changshe Town, not far from Xihua Town. With the fighting in Xihua Town, Following Yuan Chonghuan's instructions, Hu Hangjin inserted himself directly into the rear of Li Yan's troops, making a posture to cut off Li Yan's retreat. At the same time, Li Zhengqian's troops were also approaching Xihua Town from the direction of Tongxu. For a time, Li Yan's troops were There seems to be a tendency to be under siege.
Surprisingly, Li Yan didn't panic at all, and continued to send troops to attack Xihua Town, as if nothing happened around him. As a result, Xihua Town would have been complaining, if they didn't know that reinforcements were on the way.
, the defenders had long since abandoned the city and fled.
On May 29th, another peasant army, led by Lu Weiliang, passed through Shangshui City and headed north, with great intention of rushing to aid Li Yan. When the news reached Linying, Yuan Chonghuan was overjoyed. He felt that the fighter plane he had been waiting for for a long time was finally available.
They found out, so they ordered the main army to quickly move closer to Changshe Town, intending to have a battle with the rogue bandits between Xihua Town and Changshe Town.
Lu Weiliang's march was very fast. What was surprising was that the army stopped at the south of Changshe Town. It did not immediately pass through Changshe Town to attack Hu Hangjin's headquarters, nor did it intend to go around and join Li Yan. Even so, but
However, Yuan Chonghuan's troops could not stop. Now tens of thousands of troops were approaching, and they had to fire their arrows. On the same day, Yuan Chonghuan's main army quickly arrived at Changshe Town, forming a confrontation with Lu Weiliang's troops.
Just when Yuan Chonghuan was eager for a battle, the situation of the battle suddenly changed. Originally, in Yuan Chonghuan's heart, Lu Weiliang should quickly join Li Yan. Who would have thought that Lu Weiliang's troops would turn around and head west. Suddenly
It occupies Muma Village to the west of Changshe Town. Mima Village is actually a large town, with several rivers converging here, and its geographical location is very special. From Changshe Town and Xihua Town, if you want to marry Ruzhou Prefecture or go to the west,
To the northwest, the shortest way is to take Trojan Horse Village. Lu Weiliang suddenly captured Trojan Horse Village, completely confusing Yuan Chonghuan, because Yuan Chonghuan had just come from Linying and had no intention of rushing back immediately. What was the use of rogue bandits occupying Trojan Horse Village? Standing there
Watching from the sidelines how Li Yan's troops were wiped out?
On the first day of June in the fourth year of Chongzhen, a drizzle fell on the land of Kaifeng. In the Ming Dynasty, which had been in drought for many years, this rain was equivalent to rain from the sky. It should have been a happy thing, but Min Zhengyuan, the prefect of Kaifeng, was in the same mood as now
The weather was drizzly and gloomy.
Because just now, an urgent military report was sent over. The rogue bandits Li Zicheng, Gao Yingxiang, and Xu Beichuan suddenly mobilized most of the rebels in Runing Prefecture, and gathered 80,000 troops to break through Shenqiu City in only half an hour.
Passing through Xiangcheng, heading north to Linying, and then breaking through Yuzhou, the army headed straight for Zhengzhou.
Zhengzhou is located between Luoyang and Kaifeng. Even within the entire Henan Prefecture, Zhengzhou is an important place. There are many wealthy businessmen from the Central Plains here, and the supplies they store are countless. However, at this time, various soldiers and horses
Most of them are in the south. The soldiers and horses in Henan Prefecture are busy dealing with Zhang Xianzhong and Wang Ziyong, and they can't spare any effort to rescue Zhengzhou.
At this moment, Min Zhengyuan wished he could scold all the eighteen generations of Yuan Chonghuan's ancestors. Just ask you to cooperate with Li Zhengqian and force the bandits out of Kaifeng Mansion. However, you, Mr. Yuan, are noble and devoted to suppressing the bandits. As a result, the bandits were not suppressed, but the bandits were defeated.
The bandits reached Zhengzhou.
I always think about a decisive battle with the bandits. Is the key point is for the bandits to fight you?
"Quickly, notify Li Zhengqian and come back quickly. We must keep Zhengzhou no matter what, otherwise, we are all doomed..."
Zhengzhou is not a small place like Tongxu. If Zhengzhou is conquered by rogue bandits, a huge blame will fall on them, and half of the officials in Kaifeng Prefecture will fall. They may not be able to bear this responsibility.
At this time, Min Zhengyuan also realized that Yuan Chonghuan was really hopeless. The North Zhili people were thinking of abandoning Min Zhengyuan. After thinking about it, there was only one person he could find.
