Chapter 290 Long live the mountain
Zuo Liangyu had to admit that he was in trouble. Although he knew now that his army could not resist the Imperial Guards, this did not mean that his servants would really have nothing to do. At least their fighting will be no less than the Imperial Guards. Therefore, he was able to break out of Wuchang City and take away more than 100 cavalry.
And as soon as he left Wuchang City, he ran non-stop, but he had no idea that he had capsized in the gutter.
Zuo Liangyu was in a hurry, and for the sake of easy access, he didn't care about bringing any food and supplies. What's more, the rule that Zuo Jun has always established logistics in the homes of ordinary people, so when he was running around, he would directly loot a village when he needed supplies.
The Jingchu area is originally full of agriculture, and the people live in a prosperous life, so there are naturally many villages. A hundred cavalrymen can easily loot a small village, obtain enough food supplements, and even spiritual comfort.
The same was true when Zuo Liangyu arrived in Yiyang. Seeing that this place called Yiyang Institute was richer than the villages he had robbed, he became malicious. But what he didn't expect was that this small Yiyang Thousand Household Institute was actually only a hundred soldiers, and its combat effectiveness was extraordinary.
As soon as they rushed into the Qianhu Institution in Yiyang, they were suddenly attacked by a trapped horse pit. Then dozens of sickle guns suddenly appeared on the ground covered with artemisia, directly cutting off the legs of the left cavalry. Then two rows of firearms attacked him with coercion guns on both sides of the left and right wings.
Fortunately, Zuo Liangyu's servants were extremely brave. After more than 30 casualties, they tried their best to protect Zuo Liangyu and retreated.
But Zuo Liangyu was not willing to accept it. He looked at the chickens and ducks that could be seen from the naked eye, the bacon hanging on the wooden rack, and the farm girl who was picking fruits and vegetables in the vegetable garden. Although her skin was not fair, she was healthy and full of vitality. Zuo Liangyu, who had never caught fish for several days, was unbearable.
Although Zuo Liangyu was very suspicious of the hatred of these unruly people in his arms, why the small Qianhushu had such careful tactical defense, he still attacked. This time, he did not dare to underestimate these guards anymore and ordered his cavalry staff to make a tactical breakthrough with the fan-fast attack.
But at this moment, what he didn't expect was that hundreds of screaming soldiers suddenly rushed out from all around, and he seemed to be well-trained at the sight of his posture. But Zuo Liangyu was not afraid, and it was just his wish. No matter how well-trained your infantry, how could you be a rival to the cavalry?
But when his soldiers came into contact with these infantry, he realized that there was a reason why these guards had just rushed towards him, because the weapons in their hands were not swords and guns, but wolves!
Sixty or seventy years ago, the weapons used by the Qi family army when they swept away the Japanese pirates, but now they are miraculously resurrected in a small Qianhu House in Huguang! Zuo Liangyu is incredible. He is just a rumor about this weapon. Although he has been fighting in Liaodong since he was a child, he has never seen the tactics of the Qi family army.
But Zuo Liangyu was not afraid of this. He is now a cavalry, not a Japanese pirate who is good at fighting. His advantage is mobility and quick interweaving. But when the wolf squid, sickle hook, musket and other weapons were combined together, he found that his cavalry, which had only dozens of cavalry, could not be able to operate the advantage of mobility, and he was more flexible than him.
Zuo Liangyu began to taste the bitter fruit of combination tactics. Even when the number of cavalry was not large enough, it was futile to encounter this combination combat, and it forced him to admit defeat to the captured people. These soldiers had a strong cooperation and discipline, no less than the imperial guards who captured Wuchang City overnight last night.
...
When Zhu Youxiao heard that he had captured Zuo Liangyu alive, he immediately rushed to Wuchang Mansion without stopping.
From the seventh year of Tianqi, from killing Ning to killing me, by accident, forcing Qian Qianyi to break off his descendants, and then let Huang Taiji kneel down, and then sentenced Amin to death at the entrance of the city gate. Recently, Kong Yinzhi and Fan Wencheng were killed, Chen Mingxia and Mao Pijiang were executed.
Now, Zuo Liangyu has been captured alive.
It can be said that among the figures active in the history of the late Ming Dynasty, many of them changed their fate because of Zhu Youxiao's butterfly effect.
At this time, Zuo Liangyu was tied to a cross and stepped on the pile of firewood piles. On both sides of him were standing on a row of Dongchangzi, two of whom were holding torches and standing on both sides.
Perhaps as long as Zhu Youxiao gave the order, the two of them would throw the torch and burn Zuo Liangyu to death.
However, because the Emperor Zhu Youxiao was going to meet this little commander in person, Li Mingrui, a Grand Secretary who was temporarily serving as the governor of Huguang, did not immediately announce the start of the trial of Zuo Liangyu.
"Your Majesty is here!"
Just as the autumn wind suddenly rose and the cool cold air made Zuo Liangyu tremble for a moment, he saw a jade-faced scholar coming from under the yellow umbrella cover in front of him. This person was Zhu Youxiao, but he was only wearing a regular dress, so he could not see the dignity of wearing a crown, but his majesty still made the air around him stagnate, and the noisy crowd began to calm down.
But after a moment, the Imperial Guards and Dongchang knelt down neatly on one knee and shouted: "Greetings to my emperor! Long live my emperor!"
Most of the people from the Imperial Guards and the East Factory were natives in Huguang or people who lived in Huguang for a long time. This was the first time he saw His Majesty the Emperor, so they shouted loudly because of excitement.
The people on the periphery also knelt down. Before the emperor came, the people in Wuchang City suffered a death in one fell swoop due to the rebellion of the Prince of Chu. When the emperor arrived, he quickly restored order and executed the vicious people who committed heinous crimes on the spot. He even organized the imperial guards to help them rebuild their homes, and tried their best to compensate them if they could.
This made the people's perception of officers and soldiers have a very different contrast. After someone asked boldly, he realized that this was the emperor's soldier. As long as the emperor's soldiers were to help us, a consensus was reached among the people.
When the emperor came, the entire Wuchang City was restored to peace, which made the common people naturally realize the importance of His Majesty today, and brought them blessings like gods and Buddhas.
Perhaps, the disaster they suffered was related to the fact that they usually ignored the reasons for the Ming Dynasty, and focused on the King of Chu in the city.
Zhu Youxiao smiled and let everyone be calm. The civil servant once wanted to lock him in the Forbidden City to reduce the impact of imperial power on the lower classes. But now Zhu Youxiao not only broke this barrier, but also went to Zhili, northern Jingji, Qilu, and Jiangnan again and again. Now he went to Huguang to try his own king's presence, so that people all over the world know who is in charge today!
The southern tour is not about traveling around the mountains and rivers. Its political reasons are to demonstrate imperial power and emphasize its orthodoxy. If one day, Zhu Youxiao hopes to go to Wusizang to take a walk and take the power to rule serfs from the hands of the lama.
