Chapter 280 The Sword Points at Japan (2) Yang Ni will never withdraw his troops until he dies
Bozhou's fight against the rebellion got off to a bad start. Not only Jiangdong could not be exempted from responsibility, but even the cabinet, the Ministry of War and even Song Liangzuo, the newly appointed governor of Sichuan, felt the pressure.
The cabinet and the Ministry of War are worried about "bearing leadership responsibilities." This is easy to understand. Why is Song Liangzuo also worried? In fact, he is also responsible for leadership. Although everyone is a governor on the surface, the entire local decision-making team that quelled the Bozhou Rebellion
Inside, he, Song Fujun, actually had the main responsibility, but his responsibility was "as a rule": whenever something happened in the southwest during the Ming Dynasty, the governor of Sichuan was usually the first person responsible, because Sichuan was relatively the strongest.
Since the final selected general to counter the rebellion in the Southwest War was Liu Wei, Gao Jingshi was also the main "leader" at the court level. After this incident, Gao Jingshi and Chen Ju quickly met with the emperor to ask him to appease his anger.
.
Zhu Yijun seemed to be unable to calm down easily, and he scolded at that time: "I have repeatedly warned all the officials in the southwest that this time the suppression of rebellion should be done with safety first, and we must not underestimate the enemy and advance rashly! The previous two times we underestimated the enemy and were careless, and we can learn from the past. He Jiangdong
Turn a blind eye! The feudal officials are so stupid when they are in battle, how can they defeat the rebels!
Furthermore, all the soldiers who entered and suppressed this time were wiped out, which also shows that the garrison troops in various places in Guizhou were extremely weak. If the rebels had not shown any intention to expand in the face of Liu Wei's army, I am afraid that the entire province of Guizhou would have been under the control of the rebels!
The court's face and my face have all been lost to Jiang Dongzhi! He deserves to be punished for his crime! He deserves to be punished for his crime!"
Jiangdong Zhi Changxin, also known as Niansuo, is from Shexian County, Anhui Province. He is not from the Real School. In the early years, he even had some conflicts with the Real School because of the impeachment case. He was demoted and sent away, and later he gradually climbed back up.
.
However, Gao Pingshi's impression of him was not very bad. He was the Shaoqing of Dali Temple at the time. Shangshu had several cases of impeaching officials for misconduct, but he did not specifically impeach officials of the Practical School. He had also vindicated some unjust cases.
Later, he became the governor of Guizhou. During his tenure, he was considerate of the people's sentiments and implemented many policies to benefit the people. For example, he actually levied commercial taxes in poor places like Guizhou. Although the income was not much, he still used part of it to hire workers.
We opened up wasteland and established many public welfare farms, such as "Huimin Pharmacy Tian", which rented land to buy medicines to treat poor patients; and "Youwen Tian", which used its income to support poor students.
Because of this, he has been rated top-notch in the Ministry of Civil Service exams all year round. Gao Pragmatic always likes officials who can do things down-to-earth, so he does not embarrass him because of his origins in the original school of thought. As time goes by, Jiang Dongzhi's factional color becomes more and more...
It has become less and less popular, and sometimes it is even regarded as a "jump" from the Heart School to the Practical School.
Of course, with the overall strengthening of the Real School in recent years, officials like Jiang Dongzhi are by no means a special case, but are becoming more and more numerous.
However, since this was still the time when Li Rusong had just entered North Korea, even if there was no good news in Bozhou, at least there should be no bad news. Therefore, Gao Pragmatic also knew that Jiangdong could not be protected this time, so he could only try to control the impact as much as possible, and not really
He was killed because "his crime deserved to be punished."
So he said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Although Jiang Dongzhi was guilty of underestimating the enemy and advancing rashly, he was an upright official, diligent in his work, and had good internal affairs since becoming a nobleman. In addition, after this defeat, he sincerely regretted his sins and did not shirk responsibility."
His actions show that he is still a man who has the courage to do his job and be responsible. Please ask the emperor to exempt him from the death penalty and just dismiss him from his post to serve the people.
In addition, I believe that after this battle, it is clear that Yang Yinglong is completely determined to rebel. It is not that the court has wronged him, and Bozhou has strong soldiers and horses that should not be underestimated. The decision to mobilize Liu Wei and other troops with an army of 200,000 is correct. There were some things in the court earlier.
It seems that everyone can stop trying to excuse Yang Yinglong.
It's just that the imperial court has just defeated Chahar, and the war has begun. North Korea's survival is still in danger. Although there is no shortage of food and salary, the transportation capacity is difficult to reach - North Korea is far to the south of Liaodong, and Bozhou is located in the mountains.
Even if the Ministry of Household Affairs has food to distribute, it is difficult to allocate and transport it. Even if the minister had previously adopted the policy of buying food on the spot, this financing would always take time. During this period, the minister thought that the frontline armies needed to step up their training first and secondly.
It is necessary to change the costumes as much as possible to prevent the six-pronged army from being really defeated by Liu Wei.
Furthermore, the successive military deployments in the Bozhou area, Guizhou, and Shu provinces have never been able to effectively form mutual assistance. I request that Song Liangzuo, the governor of Sichuan, temporarily control the military affairs in the three provinces of Sichuan, Hu, and Guizhou, and that the situation will be resolved as soon as the matter is completed."
Zhu Yijun agreed and immediately issued an oral order: "As you said, first remove Jiangdong from the post of governor of Guizhou, and let...who do you think is suitable to take over?"
Gao pragmatically said: "I think Guo Zizhang, the governor of Fujian Province, can take over."
Guo Zizhang, whose courtesy name was Xiangkui, whose nickname was Qingluo, and whose self-name was Yiyisheng, was from Taihe County, Jiangxi Province. He originally belonged to the Xinxue school, but when he passed the imperial examination in the fifth year of Longqing's imperial examination, his teacher was Zhang Siwei, so he joined the Practical School.
He successively served as an official in Jianning Prefecture in Fujian, director of the Ministry of Industry in Nanjing, prefect of Chaozhou in Guangdong, governor of Sichuan, participated in politics in Zhejiang and Zhejiang, envoy to Shanxi, right-hand governor in Huguang, and left-hand governor in Fujian.
Not bad, just above average.
The reason why Gao Jingshi fell in love with him was mainly because he strongly supported Beijing's immigration to Taiwan when he was in office in Fujian. At the same time, as Fujian's left-wing envoy, he had learned Gao Jingshi's method of feeding back money through business and
To promote the agricultural economy, in addition to vigorously developing Fujian's traditional advantages such as seaport trade, fishery, and salt industry, it also actively promotes tea planting throughout the province and follows the path of economic agriculture, which has achieved remarkable results.
In addition, he was also very interested in the potatoes and corns that Gao pragmatically promoted in various provinces across the country. He personally planted some in the back garden of the Chief Envoy's Yamen to observe the yield, and after confirming their advantages, he immediately promoted them throughout the province.
In particular, potatoes, which can be grown on a large scale in the mountainous areas of Fujian, became his main crop when he took office. So much so that in the third year of his tenure as the left governor of Fujian, Fujian Province began to export grain to other provinces (even "foreign countries").
Dependence has been greatly reduced. Gao Jingshi, who is also the Minister of Household Affairs, praised him by name during his previous inspection in Beijing.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! To use him as the governor of Guizhou, Gao Pragmatic's main appeal is not to rely on his strong military command ability. After all, Guizhou's main position in the Battle of Bozhou is to defend the southern line of Bozhou.
In terms of exit and offense, it still depends on Liu Wei's approach.
Therefore, what Gao Ponggong means is that he hopes that he will also vigorously promote potatoes in Guizhou - after all, Guizhou and Fujian have one big thing in common, that is, there are many mountains and few fields, and some of Fujian's agricultural experience can be used in Guizhou.
Of course, even though both places are mountainous, Guizhou's external transportation conditions are far worse than Fujian, which has countless good ports. Therefore, tea planting may have to be postponed a little later, and potatoes should be planted first to solve stomach problems.
Zhu Yijun didn't have a deep impression of Guo Zizhang. He only remembered that Gao Pragmatic seemed to have praised him for "promoting both agriculture and business, governing the barren land of Fujian for three years, and paying an annual payment of 700,000 to Taicang" - that was enough. This achievement was evident at a glance.
A capable minister.
So Zhu Yijun immediately approved and asked Guo Zizhang to take up the post immediately after receiving the imperial edict. As for the candidate to take charge of Bozhou's counter-rebellion military affairs, this matter would not bother the two masters. The next imperial edict should be clearly handed over to Song Liangzuo, which can be regarded as formalizing the "hidden rules"
However, since Gao Pingshi said he would leave as soon as the matter was over, Zhu Yijun didn't even give him an official, so he asked Song Liangzuo to add an imperial envoy.
As for the issue of food and wages, Zhu Yijun also reiterated that it would be done according to Gao Pragmatic's previous proposal of buying food locally. The Ming Fed would use banknotes to buy food in Sichuan and Huguang to provide it to the military. At the same time, he also reiterated that the Ming Fed banknotes could be used for
Pay taxes to ensure the value of this "equivalent exchange". Gao Pragmatism immediately accepted the order.
In May, Guo Zizhang took office. While he began to promote potato cultivation, he reorganized Guizhou's military affairs. He also received a batch of military equipment temporarily ordered by the Ministry of War to be produced in Ha Tinh, Annan and urgently sent to Guizhou through Guangxi, including the Wanli II Type.
Ten thousand muskets, two hundred Jinghua No. 3 cannons and other standard equipment of the nine-sided elite Ming army.
Under this premise, the situation in Guizhou gradually stabilized, and some local chieftains who had been troubled by the wind also calmed down.
Song Liangzuo was not idle either. Due to the weakness shown by Guizhou before, he not only mobilized some troops from Yunnan and Guangxi again to strengthen the two southern routes in Guizhou, but also mobilized some chieftains from surrounding areas after seeking the consent of the cabinet and the Ministry of War.
Soldiers and horses were fortified, and even Liu Wei's troops were reinforced by more than 10,000 Yunnan chieftain soldiers and horses.
From an overall perspective, nearly 240,000 soldiers and horses participated in the encirclement and suppression of Bozhou. Although most of them did not undertake active offensive tasks, as a "noose" in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Yinglong became more and more breathless.
Come.
In June, Yang Yinglong discussed with his subordinates the expropriation of land belonging to the Five Divisions and Seven Surnames. He summoned the most important core figures of the Bozhou Army, including his sons Yang Chaodong, Yang Weidong, his brother Yang Zhaolong, military advisor Sun Shitai, secretary Ma Zhong, and Bozhou General Manager He Tingyu.
He Hanliang, the general manager of the external affairs department, Tian Yipeng, the general manager of the internal affairs department, and Yang Zhu, Tian Feipeng's brother and Bozhou general.
Although Yang Yinglong felt the pressure brought by the blockade at this time, it was mainly economic pressure rather than military pressure. Since the Ming army had undergone some adjustments after its previous defeat, he did not feel that he was in much danger.
Gu Pan was still very confident.
At this moment, he raised his chin slightly and said: "Now all the land in Bozhou belongs to me. The land and property of the six surnames Zhang, Yuan, Lu, Tan, Luo and Wu have been expropriated. From now on, Bozhou will no longer submit to the Ming Dynasty.
Court, as long as I find a good and auspicious day, I will declare myself king, and you and other meritorious ministers will also be greatly rewarded."
Yang Chaodong was overjoyed and said: "Father has made it clear that my Yang family has been standing in Bozhou for seven hundred years and should have been king long ago. In the past, we saw that the court treated us well, so we condescended to come under the rule of the Zhu family. Now it seems that after the Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, we in Bozhou have truly
He was so submissive that the court paid less and less attention to Bozhou.
There are also those chieftains who do not argue between us and the enemy. They actually conspired with the Han people to assassinate me in Bozhou. Even killing them all would not be enough to vent their anger! Now my father only confiscated their land, which shows that I, the Yang family, are magnanimous and let them know who is Bozhou.
Lord!"
His uncle Yang Zhaolong originally did not agree with the rebellion. Now he was even more worried after hearing his nephew's words and lectured: "Chaodong, don't be too arrogant. In the past, you used to be the eldest son of your brother to show off your power. You were domineering. It's not good to be an uncle."
Yue Zu has come to discipline you, but it is no longer the same as before. You have only made some achievements, how can you be arrogant?
Chaodong, the reason why our Yang family has been able to establish a foothold in Bori and last for seven hundred years is that, in addition to our own strength, the more important thing is to always control the hearts of the people. Now that my brother wants to do something big, it is even more important to win the hearts of the people. As you,
The eldest son must be more stable, otherwise how will he inherit the Yang family's legacy in the future? If you want to become a prince, you must win the hearts of the people and be both civil and military..."
"Hey, why are the second masters still preaching?" He Tingyu, the general manager of Bozhou, has always been on Yang Chaodong's side. At this time, he immediately came to his rescue and said: "Brother Zhaolong is jealous of Chaodong's achievements, right? What Chaodong has established this time
Is his contribution still small? If he doesn't show off his power, those clowns will only cause trouble again and again. I think now I need Chaodong's domineering attitude to intimidate Xiaoxiao so that he can be used by me.
Nowadays, Bozhou is unified, without the imperial court and other families sharing the profits, it can be said that there is a lot of money. As the general manager of Bozhou, I have to count this money several times every day... But let me tell you, after becoming the king, Bozhou seems to be still the same.
It’s too small. How can Bozhou show its kingly appearance and meet all the country’s needs? It’s better to rely on Bozhou’s military power to go south to annex Guizhou or go north to capture Chongqing. Then we will definitely have inexhaustible supplies of everything we need.
, inexhaustible.”
He Hanliang, the director of the Foreign Affairs Department, sneered: "You don't believe me when I say you are greedy. Why don't you propose to capture the entire Ming Dynasty? Whether it is annexing Guizhou or conquering Chongqing, is it that easy?
Let me put it this way, as long as we march towards Guiyang Prefecture or Chongqing Prefecture, the imperial court will definitely use all its strength to attack Bozhou. At that time, it will not be more than 200,000 officers and soldiers coming to fight, but maybe 500,000, and then
The war continues, I wonder how you can keep the money, it will all be spent."
Tian Yipeng, the general manager of the internal affairs department, said: "He Hanliang, apart from sometimes leading troops to fight, you only focus on eating and drinking, being drunk all night long, and don't think about business at all. How can you be qualified to judge others? If you have such strength, you might as well do it.
Kill enemies more often and make meritorious deeds, or take care of foreign affairs.
Since the head of the family wants to establish himself as king, and we will also become the founding heroes, why not choose more concubines and add more wives and concubines? There are many beautiful women among these six surnames, with enchanting looks and charming eyes.
I have tried quite a few, and I really have endless aftertaste... I will carefully select a batch for you someday, and take them home respectively. Be sure to love them more and give birth to more sons. In the future, they will all be my warriors in Bozhou."
Tian Feipeng leaned forward and said lazily: "I don't have the energy to be busy all day long like my brother, but our family and the Yang family have been relatives for hundreds of years. As long as the head of the family has given instructions, I and my brothers will do our best."
It turns out that when the Tian brothers speak so "nothing outside", they really don't need to look outside. The relationship between his family and the Yang family is somewhat like the Xiao family and the Yelu family in the Liao Dynasty, almost like "descendants" and "royal families".
After hearing the above, Yang Weidong was worried and said: "I am only worried that we wiped out the Ming army and massacred Guizhou before. I am afraid that the court will be angry because of this. Everyone knows that many of the more than 200,000 troops around Bozhou were originally
The chieftain, the court may not fully believe it, and their sending troops is probably just for show, but if the court issues a strict order and forces them all to attack with all their strength, how should they respond? "
General Yang Zhu snorted softly and said: "What is there to be afraid of? If the Ming army comes, it will be just what I want. If I don't kill people for a day, I will feel itchy. The Ming army is here just to relieve my boredom. I have been fighting the state army for hundreds of years."
We have always fought one against ten, and we have never been defeated!
Now that Bozhou is in my hands, our army has already occupied all the dangerous positions. Not to mention that the army only has more than 200,000 soldiers. Even if Emperor Zhu brings millions of troops to attack, they will only be defeated here!
I think back then when the Mongolian Tatars swept across the world for tens of thousands of miles, how majestic it was, but in the end they had to give up the attack on Bozhou... As long as the Ming army is defeated this time, when the master of the family declares himself king, who in the world can stop him?"
Military advisor Sun Shitai saw that these people had been talking and talking for a long time. He really couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to analyze: "The head of the family has unified Bozhou and seized the land to raise seedlings. All the seedlings are happy and willing to fight to the death. Bozhou's military strength has been expanded."
To a crowd of 160,000 people. The Ming Dynasty seemed to have a vast territory and rich resources, but the two parties in the imperial court had been at odds with each other for more than 20 years. Whenever major events happened, they always held each other back, making it difficult to form a joint force.
The military strength of the Ming Dynasty was concentrated on nine sides, and the armies in various parts of the south had long been depleted. Judging from the previous two battles and the raid on Guizhou, it can also be seen that the garrison of the garrison was vulnerable. The soldiers in central Sichuan and Huguang had not practiced fighting for more than a hundred years.
It is no different from the civilians, and the other southern provinces should be no different. It can be seen that although the Ming Dynasty has millions of troops, they are mostly mobs, and those who can be called elites are only in Jiubian.
Although the soldiers on the nine sides are excellent, we don't need to care, so why? Let's look at the Ming Dynasty sending troops to aid Korea this time. This is the world's largest border country and is in danger of destruction, but the imperial court can only send five troops.
Ten thousand troops. It can be seen that after taking Chahar, the elite troops of the Nine Sides have been used to the extreme just for garrisoning, and there is no more surplus troops for use elsewhere.
From this point of view, as long as we hoard food and pay, make good use of the geographical advantages, strictly manage the army, and choose the opportunity to annihilate the elite of the Ming army, the rest of the rabble will not be a worry. When the time comes, we will have no worries about establishing ourselves as kings or annexing other provinces.
However, under no circumstances should we have any illusions about overthrowing the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty had a vast territory. Although it may not be called a prosperous age now, its foundation is still solid. After the destruction of Mongolia, the foreign troubles of the Ming Dynasty for two hundred years can be considered to have been basically eliminated.
If they are forced to panic under such circumstances, then the troops from the nine sides may not be able to be transferred south. Therefore, if our army becomes arrogant because of this victory, they may suffer disaster." Everyone.
Although I may not be happy after hearing this, I also know that what this person said is true, so I have no choice but to remain silent, which makes it a bit awkward.
At this time, the clerk Ma Zhong remembered that there was another matter to report, and interjected: "I have just reported that Qijiang Councilor Fang Jiachong entered the territory of Bozhou on a provocation and killed thirty people in Bozhou indiscriminately.
Please send troops to avenge us for annihilating the Ming army and beheading Yang Guozhu."
After hearing this, Yang Yinglong was furious: "Now that the imperial court is not allowing it, Bozhou has nothing to rely on. Only by fighting to the death and annihilating all invading enemies can we preserve our family business. Humph, the capital of Guizhou has already died in my hands, and even a small general can't."
Dare to act wantonly? It must be that the Ming army is not fully prepared yet and only dares to kill me to vent the anger of the people.
Okay, then let them see the strength of my Bozhou army, give me the banner of revenge for the dead, take advantage of the opportunity of the imperial army to dispatch supplies, send troops to Qijiang, and let all the soldiers and civilians of Qijiang come to be buried with me!"
So Yang Yinglong led the Bozhou Army with 80,000 troops. The troops were divided into three groups to collect water, Maoergang and Lou State. One invaded Nanchuan and the other Jiangjin. He also ordered Yang Chaodong to guard Shaxi to seize Mashan and guard against the troops from Yongning and Guizhou.
When Qijiang Counselor Fang Jiachong learned of Yang Yinglong's advance, he ordered the city defenses to be reinforced and the entire army to prepare for war. He then sent someone to ask Song Liangzuo, the governor of Sichuan, for help. He also ordered guerrilla general Zhang Liangxian to lead a detachment to explore the enemy's situation.
Zhang Liangxian asked for the order: "At the end of the day, the general will go with a thousand troops. If he encounters rebels, he will attack them. If he can win, it will also deter the enemy, delay the offensive, and help defend Qijiang." Fang Jiachong warned to be cautious.
Zhang Liangxian took the order.
On June 17, guerrilla general Zhang Liangxian encountered scattered Miao soldiers from Bozhou in Dongxi. After several attacks, he achieved considerable gains. The remnants of the Miao soldiers retreated and killed an enemy general. Zhang Liangxian returned to Qijiang and presented his head. The morale of the Qijiang army was greatly boosted.
.
After Song Liangzuo received Fang Jiachong's request for help, he originally wanted to order Sichuan soldiers from all over the country to march to Qijiang for rescue. However, on second thought, he felt that the rebels might have been attacking Qijiang at this time. The rebels' strength was several times that of Qijiang, so ordering rescue now would only be for the sake of safety.
It was already too late. It was better to have one group continue to advance towards Qijiang, while the other groups were divided into key roads, firstly to receive the defeated soldiers and the fleeing people, and secondly to prevent the rebels from deepening.
Then he thought that if Yang Yinglong knew that we were heavily guarded, considering the threat from Liu Wei's army, Yang Yinglong would withdraw from Qijiang soon, so... he could only hope that Qijiang would have God's help and support the arrival of reinforcements. After thinking maturely, he gave the order
.
On June 21, Yang Yinglong led the Bozhou Miao soldiers to besiege Qijiang. He personally shouted at the city gate: "Fang Jiachong! You are a little general and a bastard. You dare to kill my Bo people without knowing your strength. Today I will
Teach you to repay it a thousand times!"
Fang Jiachong was not to be outdone. He stood on the tower and cursed: "Yang Yinglong, you are a shameless rebel who plotted rebellion and betrayed the emperor's favor. You slaughtered 20,000 soldiers and civilians in Guizhou and you were so complacent. It is the outrage of heaven and earth! I will only kill you."
Thirty people are far from enough. I should have personally gone to Bozhou and beheaded you. Today, since you have come to Qijiang, you can commit suicide in front of the army to apologize. I will spare your wife and children! Otherwise, your entire Yang family in Bozhou will be exterminated and you will die without mercy.
Burial place!" Yang Yinglong laughed wildly, and then ordered a fierce attack on Qijiang.
Fang Jiachong divided the Sichuan troops he led into three groups. One group deployed city walls to prevent the Miao soldiers from ascending the city, one group used bows and arrows and firecrackers to kill the approaching enemies, and the other group placed artillery to fire outside the city.
Zhang Liangxian personally went to the city gate to command the battle, while Fang Jiachong stayed behind and commanded the firearms to attack the enemy. The Ming army relied on the Qijiang city wall to cover and firearms to assist, and the Bozhou army's attack on the city was temporarily blocked. Yang Yinglong had to think hard about how to break the city.
After Sun Shitai's discussion, he ordered people to explore along the city to find weak points as a breakthrough.
However, accidents on the battlefield often come from bizarre situations. As an army in the southern region that has been short of training for a long time, Fang Jiachong's firearms battalion failed to operate the artillery, and accidentally injured the soldiers defending the city. This is good, the infantry and artillery armies each have their own opinions.
The quarrel turned into a fight, and the city defense was in chaos.
Yang Yinglong heard several loud explosions in Qijiang River. The city towers were blown open, and fire spread around them. It was a God-given opportunity! He quickly ordered the Bozhou Army to take advantage of the situation to board the city. Sure enough, the Ming Army's defense line collapsed, and the Bozhou Army successfully entered Qijiang.
Jiachong and Zhang Liangxian had no choice but to lead their troops into street fighting.
At this time, the Bozhou Army roared in, and the killing sound was loud. Qijiang and Sichuan soldiers had not experienced fighting for a long time. It was okay to shoot and fire artillery when defending the city, but they were really not good at close combat. After resisting for a while, they could no longer hold up. The Sichuan soldiers were defeated and fought noisily.
He fled by water, and Fang Jiachong couldn't stop drinking.
Yang Yinglong was overjoyed and ordered the entire army to massacre the city, plunder Qijiang's property and children, and set fire to the city. The people of Qijiang fled individually, but most of them could not escape the swords of the Miao soldiers. Yang Yinglong personally led the team and went straight to Qijiang's treasury.
Seeing that the situation was over, Fang Jiachong fled home and said to his wife: "Qijiang City has been destroyed and it is no longer able to withstand the rebel offensive. It will be even harder for you and me to escape. I have decided to die in battle here to avoid the humiliation of my wife and children.
I have no choice but to kill you first, please don’t blame me."
The wife understood her intention and showed no signs of panic. She just said: "Husband, there is no need to say more. You and I are husband and wife. I will take the first step. I hope to reunite with my husband in the underworld."
So Fang Jiachong killed his wife in tears, and then met with the guerrilla general Zhang Liangxian. Zhang Liangxian asked how he should explain the Qijiang city was destroyed.
Fang Jiachong said: "Now that the matter has come to this, we and I will definitely not be able to explain to the Fu army and the admiral. Qijiang is the place where you and I will be buried... Although you and I cannot stop the rebels, we cannot surrender and die for them."
The only way to apologize is to commit suicide." Zhang Liangxian accepted the order, and the two of them immediately committed suicide.
After the two of them died, Yang Yinglong allowed the Qijiang prisoners to be burned and looted everywhere, and he opened the treasury door to reward them. He took all Qijiang's property and his children and escorted them back to Bozhou.
The people in the Qijiang River were wailing all over the place, and the people were miserable. Thick smoke was billowing, and the Miao soldiers threw their corpses into the river. The corpses covered the river and went down, so the river was dyed red.
However, as Song Liangzuo expected, Yang Yinglong soon retreated to Sanxi. He established Bozhou boundary monuments at Sanxi and Mudu in Qijiang River and Dongxiang Dam in Nanchuan. They were known as "Xuanwei Guanzhuang" and declared that Jiangjin and Hejiang were both the hometown of Bozhou, and then united.
The wild Miao tribe in Jiugu Mountain built up military equipment and allowed them to occupy dangerous terrain as a supplement.
When the news spread, Song Liangzuo went to Shu to plead guilty, and at the same time contacted Guo Zizhang to ask if Ming's fighting strength on the southern front had been restored. At the same time, he also sent someone to ask Liu Wei whether his troops had all the supplies and when they could launch a suppression campaign.
There was also a discussion in the imperial court, and many people suggested that we should simply change the situation from suppression to pacification, so as not to cause a war both internally and externally, which would be detrimental to me.
Gao Wu's strength defied public opinion and said that the reason why Bozhou was passive in the war was because the incident happened suddenly, and the imperial court's energy had previously been focused on Mongolia, and now it was involved in North Korea. However, Yang Yinglong's treachery was now obvious. If he was recruited under such circumstances, the imperial court would
Miemeng's prestige will be completely lost.
For the present plan, we can only ignore the current losses, continue to mobilize the materials needed for the army to fight in the mountains, and finally defeat them. There is no other way.
Zhu Yijun made the final decision: Unless Yang Ni dies, he will never withdraw his troops!
