Chapter 211 Beheading
Time goes back a day ago, Xue Jiaji not far from Qufu City. Tianlai Novel
Two Ming troops happened to meet here.
Qin Botong patted his sore calves, stood on a low hill, looking at the guards guarding against the village wall in front, without saying a word; behind him was a 5,000 newly-organized imperial guards. Although he had experienced some practical combat and had a strong military spirit after several months of training, their commander Qin Botong himself was a very morale-driven person, so he was not afraid of seeing the tens of thousands of guards in front.
This guard army was brought by the inspector censor Zhang Dongen and the general Liu Zeqing. The inspector Zhang Dongen has the right to go up and control the army and dismount and govern the people. In addition, he was a civil servant, so he was not afraid when he saw Qin Botong's guards. Instead, he rushed away arrogantly: "I am the inspector censor Zhang Dongen. There is a rioter in front of him. How dare he offend my heartland in Shandong? He will surrender when he sees our imperial army!"
Zhang Xunzhang has been in Shandong and does not know that the standard uniforms of the Imperial Guards are different from ordinary Ming troops, so he regards Qin Botong and others as traitors. However, seeing this group of people with large and orderly and majestic, Zhang Xunzhang also wondered if these people were rumored to be secretly trained in Xuzhou, Huguang and other places, otherwise they would not have entered Shandong so easily, which was easier than the Tartars' pass through.
"You are the traitors. Let me listen to me. We are the imperial guards personally led by His Majesty the Emperor. We are specially ordered to come to Shandong to suppress the rebellion. It is best for you to retreat, otherwise don't blame us for being polite!"
The vanguard of the Imperial Guard, Yi Gongmao, commander of the First Battalion of the Xuzhou temporary new army, shouted a few words.
But after hearing this, Zhang Dongen, the inspector, couldn't help but feel nervous. After thinking to himself, he couldn't help but say to Liu Zeqing: "General Liu, it seems that 80% of these people are indeed imperial guards, and when I come to Shandong, I am afraid that I will seize the military power of our people and eliminate local officials and gentry forces such as Yan Shenggong."
"So, is Your Majesty going to take serious action?" Liu Zeqing asked in doubt.
Zhang Dongen, the inspector censor, nodded: "Yes, the most urgent task now is to not let this guard enter Quofu, otherwise none of us will survive. If I can't persuade him as the inspector censor later, you will let your people fight back quickly and catch him off guard. It's best to annihilate them! Even if they are revealed by the court, my official insists that they are traitors, and they will go unreasonable!"
"Zhang Xunzhang, this is probably very difficult. I heard that the Imperial Guards are brave and good at fighting, but they dare to fight hard with the Tartars. Our guards are not their opponents," Liu Zeqing couldn't help but laugh.
"Useless thing. This imperial guard is just a newly-organized imperial guard in Xuzhou. It was a group of ordinary people a few months ago. What are you afraid of?"
After Zhang Dongen said this, Liu Zeqing had to prepare the archers and the firearms battalion.
The inspector Zhang Dongen came over and shouted loudly: "The quelling of rebellion is under the responsibility of our General Liu from Shandong. If you retreat, if you dare to enter our Shandong situation at will, I will regard you as a rebel party intending to rebel, and I will never let you go!"
"What are you? You dare to threaten us. We have the decree of Your Majesty!"
While Yi Gongmao was talking, Liu Zeqing suddenly waved his hand, and suddenly a row of firearm soldiers shot at the Imperial Guards.
Yi Gongmao's first battalion was caught off guard. Seeing that several of his people had died, and they were all stunned, they couldn't help but scold: "All of them are so stupid! Are the guys in your hands burning sticks? Beat me back!"
After Yi Gongmao said this, the commander at the bottom quickly shouted: "Line in line and fill in gunpowder!"
Slap!
After a brief riot, the Imperial Guards of the tentative first battalion quickly restored order and automatically retreated for a distance, a distance that was beyond the range of the shotguns in the hands of the guards of Liu Zeqing and within the range of the Sky-Qi Fusruk in the hands of the Imperial Guards.
Suddenly, a round of counterattack from the Imperial Guards made these guards fall to the ground like cut rice, and some guards rushed directly with their heads in their arms.
Liu Zeqing turned around and looked at Zhang Xunzhang: "Zhang Xunzhang, this is not a new recruit. He is much stronger than my guards."
After Liu Zeqing said that, he took his own garrison troops to retreat, and Zhang Dongen followed him speechlessly.
Qin Botong caught up and said, and couldn't help but curse: "The useless thing, you were so arrogant just now. I'm so handsome. I'll chase after me and chase them and beat them. I can't lose a few brothers in vain."
After Yi Gongmao was ordered, he led his men to chase him directly.
At the same time, Qin Botong turned around and said to his new cavalry battalion commander Lu Yuanda, "Your Majesty has issued an order. If you encounter resistance along the way, you can annihilate it as a crime of treason. If you dare to provoke us, you will simply take him down. You are the one who Oboi brought out, and you will also pull your cavalry up and cut him down."
"Get orders!"
As Lu Yuanda said that, he rushed over from the left and right wings with five hundred elite cavalry. It was very fast, like an iron stream, crushing directly on the plain and rushing directly into Liu Zeqing's large army.
Liu Zeqing also wanted to organize archers to shoot archers, but when these lazy guards were still pulling their bows slowly, the cavalry special hand guns were already the first to be opened in the new system in the cavalry battalion.
The crackling sound of beans is really like a massacre. If it was still orderly to remove it just now, then the guards will be truly completely defeated when they meet.
The first battalion of the Imperial Guards, who had a great time, was swept the rear, and the guards were almost killed one by one. In the end, only Liu Zeqing and Zhang Dongen and others were fleeing in a hurry.
The grand insurer Zhang Dongen and Liu Zeqing who were inspecting the emperor for their hunting were escorted to Qin Botong.
Zhang Dongen also wanted to show off his civil servant style and scolded: "I am the inspector of the censor. You'd better release me, otherwise I will definitely participate in your first book!"
Qin Botong was too lazy to pay attention to him, turned his horse's head and was about to continue moving forward and ordered: "Cut it directly!"
Zhang Dongen was stunned, and Liu Zeqing was also stunned when he heard this.
Xu Zu, the commander-in-chief who assisted Qin Botong in Xuzhou to train troops, couldn't help but persuade: "Commander, this is not right. This person is also the inspector and censor, and he can be comparable to the governor in a province."
"No matter what the censor he is, if you block my way, you will disobey Your Majesty's decree. I will have to chop off his head! Execute the order!"
After Qin Botong said this, Xu Zu was not good at opposing it, and the law enforcement team also took the initiative to come out and dragged Zhang Dongen and Liu Zeqing to the open space.
"God of life, General!"
Liu Zeqing just shouted that this hero who had become one of the four towns in Jiangbei in the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty was in two places.
The inspector censor Zhang Dongen just shouted: "You can't kill me", and his head was cut off with one knife.
At this moment, Yidong Factory's phone number suddenly appeared, holding the token in his hand and shouted loudly: "There is Qin Botong's army from Xuzhou in front."
“That’s right!”
"Your Majesty is hereby decree that your troops will rush to Qufu, and you will be allowed to control the city defense of Qufu County before sunset today. The cavalry of its troops will immediately go to Kong Yan Shenggong Mansion to assist in the extermination of the rioters!"
