In the late Ming Dynasty, there were countless warlords who took advantage of the situation and committed plunder. However, Xu Dingguo was not the most hateful. For him, plundering was commonplace. After the death of Emperor Chongzhen, it became even more serious. Moreover, he was the best at fighting. He ran away. From the first time in Liaodong to last year in Tongguan, he was the famous Xu Paopao. Last year, he was sentenced to death by the court for robbery and escaping. However, because of the employment situation, he was allowed to plead guilty and perform meritorious service. As expected, he did not fight. However, he knew that he would definitely die if he went back, so he took his two sons Xu Er'an and Xu Erji back to his hometown to run business.
After returning home, he and Li Jiyu flirted with each other. This Li Jiyu was originally a big thief and later surrendered to the court and was awarded the title of General Soldier of Henan. However, this guy was also a good man who could adapt to the changing circumstances. When he saw Li Zicheng's unstoppable power at the beginning of the year, he secretly flirted with him and was discovered by the court. He was not afraid at all, and the court had no time to deal with him anyway, but who would have thought... a young eunuch appeared in the palace... So he couldn't get along with the court anymore and returned to his old profession. Historically, he Also cleared. (There are several historical records about this person that are different, but his rebel background is consistent}.
Xu Dingguo has been waiting and watching since he fled back to his hometown last year, while cultivating his own strength. Seeing Li Zicheng's awesome coaxing and lightning all the way, he was also ready to plan an attack on Suizhou, but suddenly heard the news that the intruders had retreated, and the reputation of the little eunuch was introduced. In his ears, this forced him to put his plan on hold and take a look first.
It was at this time that Hu Maozhen came to tell us that Gao Jie invited him to work together on a great project!
Gao Jie, who was born in the thief army, is not a good person. To some extent, he is just as good as Xu Dingguo. In addition, he has a lot of troops and is in the important town of Xuzhou. He has the capital to do big things, so Xu Dingguo believes that it is possible. .
But he was not without some doubts, such as why Gao Jie wanted to cause trouble. He had just chased the intruders and then returned to Gyeonggi to aid. Why did he suddenly have to go it alone after working so hard.
And the little eunuch is so awesome right now. Whoever fights will win. Is it appropriate to start something at this time?
The reasons given by Hu Maozhen are very good. The reason for going alone in the first place is that the court forced him!
After being transferred thousands of miles away to the capital, King Qin then chased the thieves to the Yellow River, and then was transferred back to the capital to encircle and suppress the Tatars. Even a landlord's donkey cannot be used so recklessly, right? It would be better if he was fed some concentrated feed. I admit it, but what?
In the celebration ceremony, even Li Yan, who had just surrendered a few months ago, was ranked among the eight pillar countries, but they only received a few words of commendation, but they still had to let him support himself for three years!
Who can bear this?
Xu Dingguo felt that he couldn't bear it, and he had heard about these things.
As for the most suitable time to go it alone, why do you say that?
The imperial court had been fighting continuously for several months and had long since run out of ammunition and food. This time they went south to fight Baiwang as a last resort. In fact, they didn't have enough food and grass at all, so they could only walk all the way begging for food. How could they fight at the end of the field like this? Others are fighting, and there is now a famine in the Gyeonggi area, and the imperial court has transferred all the troops to my side. The imperial court is focusing on one thing and not the other. It is a good time to cause trouble!
When Xu Dingguo heard this, he thought, "My analysis makes sense!"
Hu Maozhen added fuel to the fire, and if he wanted to do something big, he would pull up nearby forces such as Li Jiyu and others. With more people and greater strength, he would create a blockbuster.
The more Xu Dingguo thought about it, the more he realized that this matter was feasible. Anyway, with his current virtue, he would definitely die if he returned to the court. Could it be that he would just become a little thief in the countryside? He might as well do it vigorously. If he failed, he would just escape and come back. So he sent The man knew about Li Jiyu, but he coincided with Li Jiyu, so he asked him to meet and communicate with Gao Jie first, so this guy came with his two sons without any precautions, just like Gao Jie did to him in history.
Then, not surprisingly, Mrs. Xing took it away and was imprisoned in the cell of the General Military Mansion.
Wonderful, Chang Yu couldn't help but sigh at Mrs. Xing's methods and asked: "How long have you been imprisoned for?"
"It's been more than half a month, and his men are here. Come and arrest a wave of sisters-in-law." Mrs.
Chang Yu originally planned to take advantage of Xu Dingguo during the break after quelling Bai Wang and before attacking Xi'an, but he didn't expect that this guy was easily deceived by Mrs. Xing. This also destined him to die. It seems that he has changed the trajectory of history again.
Nanming was very chaotic, with fierce fighting between warlords. For example, Gao Jie tried to kill Huang Degong several times and almost succeeded once, but Huang Degong was too brave and even broke out of the encirclement. But Gao Jie wanted to kill Huang Degong in order to fight for it. Territory, everyone is not convinced.
Li Dingguo killed Gao Jie because he wanted to surrender to the Qing Dynasty!
This is enough for Chang Yu to kill him millions of times to vent his hatred.
The lights in the cell were dim and the smell of feces and urine was very strong in the air. Chang Yu couldn't get used to the smell inside even after running out three or four times. As a last resort, Gao Jie had Xu Dingguo and the others tied up in the lobby.
Xu Dingguo is nearly 70 years old. Although he has been detained for more than half a month, he is still in high spirits. He is tall and strong. It is said that he can lift a bell worth a thousand gold. He has the reputation of "Xu Qianjin", which seems to be true.
Xu Dingguo, who was brought into the lobby, cursed Gao Jie endlessly, calling him a villain and shameless. Gao Jie felt guilty after being scolded. After all, Xu Dingguo didn't do anything to him now.
Chang Yu watched him scolding expressionlessly, until he gasped from exhaustion and then said calmly: "One general soldier and two guards (Xu Dingguo's two sons are both guards) can be regarded as a goalkeeper, but... Hey, the Ming Dynasty has this kind of thing It is truly a disgrace to the country to be a general!”
"Who are you, kid?" As soon as Xu Dingguo finished speaking, Kuang Ren, who was standing next to him, rushed over and slapped him three times on the head. Xu Dingguo's eyes were shining with gold and the corners of his mouth were bleeding. His son shouted loudly.
"I'll let you know this clearly, my governor, Dongchang Changyu!"
ah! Xu Dingguo and the other three were immediately dumbfounded, and the look of horror on their faces became even stronger. Then it turned into ashes.
He got it.
Last year, he was convicted of several crimes and sentenced to death for plundering and escaping without fighting. Later, due to the emergency of the war, the court had no one available and had to ask him to plead guilty and perform meritorious service. Unexpectedly, he escaped again, but he also knew that if he returned, he would definitely die. At first glance, He was worried that he would be taken away by Jin Yiwei someday, but later found that the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable to the court. At this time, the court had no time or intention to pursue him as a fugitive general, so he slowly let down his guard.
Unexpectedly, he was targeted by Dongchang. In order to catch him, Dongchang teamed up with Gao Jie to perform such a play, just to catch him. (Xu Dingguo thinks to himself)
At this point, he knew that he would definitely die. The irony was that he had really wanted to see what the legendary god-like eunuch of Dongchang looked like, but he didn't expect to see him here, and he was also going to die.
But for such a villain, Chang Yu couldn't let him die so happily, so he said to Kuang Ren: "Find a brother with good skills to send him on his way." After saying that, he looked at Xu Dingguo's two sons and sighed slightly in his heart. Boss Xu If you see this movie, please don’t send me a lawyer’s letter!
That's right, Xu Jiayin, chairman of Evergrande Group, is a descendant of Xu Dingguo!
Boss Xu, I'm sorry, Xu Dingguo is now at the end of his rope.
That night, somewhere in Yunlong Mountain outside Xuzhou City, Xu Dingguo, his father and his son, together with their subordinates Shan Changgeng and Pan Yifeng, were buried alive here.
Early the next morning, Chang Yu went to his father-in-law Zhang Laishui's house to visit his daughter-in-law Zhang Biyun, who had never been married. He chatted casually for a while and left without even saying goodbye. He said that military affairs were urgent and he had to return to Beijing to report on his duties. If If Zhang Biyun is bored in Xuzhou, he can go to the capital to look for him. All he has to do is say hello to Gao Jie, and he will send someone to escort him into the capital.
Zhang Biyun reluctantly watched Chang Yu leave with tears in her eyes. She originally thought that Chang Yu would greet her when he came back in triumph, but he didn't expect that he would come and go in a hurry. They only saw each other for more than an hour before they said goodbye again. This pair of girls who were passionately in love was I really miss you so much.
However, she can also understand the difficulties of soldiers. In these troubled times, as a general, he should put the country first. Even his parents advised him so. Some people may be curious and ask, Chang Yu's name is known to both the government and the public, why does the Zhang family not know about it?
It’s still a question of preconceptions.
When Chang Yu flirted with people before, he said it was after Nanjing Huaiyuan Hou, which was after Chang Yuchun. It is normal for generals to have multiple names and surnames. He would not think about it at all. Besides, there is no great eunuch of Dongchang. Befriending the warlord.
At the canal pier, Gao Jie and his wife saw off Chang Yu, and their conversation was very relaxed.
"The credit for killing Xu Dingguo will be credited to my brother. If I can deal with Li Jiyu again, it will be a great achievement. In the future, brother, I will be able to ask for credit from my brother in the court!" Chang Yu punched Gao Jie: "Fight the war. Use your brain. Although Li Jiyu is a rabble, he is powerful in the local area. Don't beat him hard..."
In Xingzi County, they were discussing the deployment of defense. Chang Yu made arrangements for everyone else to guard against Zuo Liangyu and Li Zicheng on the other side of the Yellow River. Only Gao Jie, the class teacher, returned to his hometown. In the eyes of others, he might be taking care of his sworn brother, but in fact, this is not the case. He just wanted to let Gao Jie defeat the mobs and get a dungeon before attacking Xi'an, and also wanted to get rid of Li Jiyu before he could regain his former momentum.
"Bai Wang has been beaten to the ground by me, and he still cares about Li Jiyu." Gao Jie grunted: "I will deal with him when my soldiers and horses come back." Chang Yu hummed, Gao Jie was very experienced in combat and there was nothing to worry about: "But if you can outwit him, it will save you a lot of trouble."
"How to outwit him? Could it be that we also trick him?" Gao Jie raised his eyebrows: "There was no news after Xu Dingguo left. How could Li Jiyu fall for the trap if he is not a fool?"
"That's natural." Chang Yu smiled slightly: "But what if you tell him that the governor will surrender him?" Then he glanced at Mrs. ".
Mrs.
"Okay." Chang Yu had another conversation with Gao Jie and his wife, then boarded the ship and sailed away.
After more than ten miles of boating, Chang Yu changed his plan and left the lotus heart. Shi Kefa, Chen Wangting and other wounded people took the boat and took the waterway. He led his guards ashore and rode back to Beijing, because the waterway was too slow, and he also had to inspect the people's sentiments along the way. , look at the lives of the people and the harvest of crops, although he has already sent a large number of Jin Yiwei to the hardest-hit areas such as Shandong and Hebei. The purpose is to secretly investigate whether local officials are inactive and whether they are adding fuel to the fire and squeezing the people.
