Looking at the backs of Lao Jiuyi and others, Qi Yuquan's eyes loomed with murderous intent. The Dongchang guards were too arrogant. It could be said that they bullied others too much and made themselves suffer humiliation that they had never experienced before.
And the reason why he didn't act rashly and endured it for a long time was because he didn't want to fight an uncertain battle. Just seeing Hao Yaoqi fighting with his men, he finally understood why a flag-bearer was reused by Li Zicheng and was later used by the imperial court. The eunuch is reused, that guy is really fierce.
And Lao Jiu and his men, who had been watching and sneering at him, were probably even worse.
Therefore, he was not confident in fighting a one-on-one battle with equal forces.
It's not enough to fight alone, it's a group fight.
Although he currently has nearly 10,000 troops, the problem is that he doesn't know how many people there are on Lao Jiu's side. If it's just the two battalions of Dongchang Guards, that's it. What if it's several thousand...
Therefore, his three-day limit seemed to be reserved for Lao Jiu and the others, but in fact it was reserved for himself.
He wants to find out the truth about Lao Jiu within these three days, and he also wants to throw this hot potato to Jingzhou within three days, and report the truth to the superiors and act accordingly. Just fight.
Qi Yuquan was so enraged by Lao Jiu and Hao Yaoqi that he was about to spontaneously combust, but he didn't know that at that moment, the most powerful people in Jingzhou City, such as Wancai, were also ants on the hot pot.
It was said that Wuchang had just sent troops, and they got the news, and then they started to make some preparations and moved stools to watch which eunuch and Wuchang people were going to sing, and whether they were going to Zhang Xianzhong or to tease themselves.
The waiting process is very painful, and the internal disputes are also heated.
As we all know, the Jingzhou area is Ma Shouying's territory. Ma Shouying is Ma Huihui. His team in Jingzhou is actually the old team of the Gezuo Fifth Battalion. However, at this time, the five leaders of the Gezuo Fifth Battalion were all dead and missing. Even Ma Shouying died of illness last year.
But his team is still unbreakable, and his successors Niu Wancai and Ta Tianbao are also deeply supported by the people below. Although some people say that the real person in power is Ma Shouying's wife, at least the two are the ones who are openly talking about it, and they have always been able to carry the horse back. This big flag.
That's right, because Ma Shouying was a Hui, he was called Ma Huihui. Over time, it became a sign and a brand.
This brand is very influential. In real history, many years after the Qing army entered the customs, although Ma Huihui had been dead for several years, his old troops returned to the Huoshan area to fight against the Qing Dynasty. They still fought under the banner of Ma Huihui, claiming to have There are more than 200,000 soldiers.
This may be the so-called soul of a dead person. Ma Huihui died of illness last year. The hearts of his subordinates are still there, and they are more united. They are not occupied by other mountains. Although they are affiliated with Li Chuang Group, they belong to the autonomous region.
Self-governance is a thing, you are quite comfortable when you have nothing to do, but you are a little troubled when something happens. When something good happens, it is not your turn. For example, Li Zicheng negotiated peace with the court, and the rewards from the court were mainly from Li Zicheng. He was granted the title of Marquis, and all the generals under his command were assigned more general officers. However, here in Jingzhou, there was not even a general soldier. The deputy generals were on guard, and the subordinate leaders did not even have names.
As for when something bad happens, you have to handle it yourself.
For example, now, Wuchang suddenly sends more than 100,000 troops to march westward. The purpose is unclear, but it causes Jingzhou to panic. He hurriedly reports to Xi'an. At the same time, he sends people to remind Yuan Zongdi in Xiangyang that if something is done here, come to help as soon as possible.
After all, the 100,000-strong army is so powerful that who can not panic?
Previously, Qi Yuquan boasted that Jingzhou had an army of 200,000. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that he was bragging. A hundred thousand would be enough to support the sky, and that also includes those who wash pots, wash dishes and feed horses, and six or seven of the first-line troops who can actually fight on the battlefield. Mando has peaked.
But these 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers and horses are not all in Jingzhou City, but are distributed in the counties under Jingzhou's jurisdiction. Moreover, Jingzhou has no natural chasm to resist the enemy. On the contrary, it is a flat river. It is really difficult to stop a hundred thousand troops.
The waiting was anxious and the internal debates heated.
The detectives were sent out one after another, and the information was sent one after another.
Zhengdong Honghu discovered thousands of Wuchang soldiers and horses... expelled our exploring horses and refused to approach, and refused any questioning...
The opponent's troops have passed Honghu Lake and headed straight for Jianli County...
Good guy, explode Jingzhou City in an instant. Look, this is coming for us. It's a normal transit. It's fine if the court doesn't communicate with Li Chuang. Wuchang doesn't even say hello to us. Is this normal?
Not necessarily, the other party is just expelling our scouting horses, not chasing them to show that they have no ill intentions. Besides, traveling along the river to Sichuan usually has to pass through Jianli and other places...
While the debate was going on, another person came from the Jiyukou Military Camp to report that there were troops crossing the river from Qianjiang County. The strength of the troops was unknown. The person claimed to be from the Black Wolf Camp under the command of the Dongchang Guards...
What?
When they heard about Dongchang Wei, everyone couldn't help but think of Dongchang's Rentu who stirred up the world.
Is he here too?
Feeling that things are not that simple anymore, everyone's thoughts were immediately drawn from Jianli County to Jiyukou. It was already dark when all kinds of speculations were made. Qi Yuquan's people came to report again. It was known that the other party had two battalions. One is the Hao Yongzhong who carried Li Chuang back then.
The other party said that he was ordered to come for a walk...
I don’t know the specific purpose, but I let him know that he will come to Jingzhou for a walk three days later. If he dares to stop him, he will be beaten. He is very arrogant and domineering!
Damn it!
Everyone in Jingzhou City is in trouble again. They are all born bandits, and nine out of ten of them have a hot temper. How have they ever been threatened like this, not even by the eunuch!
They were shouting and cursing, and the tombs of eight generations of Chang Yu's ancestors were already filled with smoke...
But after scolding, you need to calm down after your throat is filled with smoke, and you have to analyze and discuss it carefully.
Everyone in the world doesn’t know the Dongchang Guards. They are one of the Emperor’s 27th personal guards. They took the shortest time to build the guard and have the smallest number of troops but are the most powerful. Even the Four Tengxiang Guards, who are known to have the most actual combat, dare not look directly at them. .
His team was the Fourth Battalion of Dongchang founded by the great eunuch Chang Yu. They followed him in the north and south and made great military exploits. The emperor was grateful for his merits and gave the 27th Guards the jurisdiction of Dongchang. But anyone with a discerning eye knows in his heart that Dongchang Guards In fact, they are the personal soldiers of the great eunuch.
And this personal soldier is very different from the conventional personal soldier. It is not only responsible for the safety of the master, but also can be pulled out to perform battlefield tasks anytime and anywhere. It is highly mobile and has explosive combat power. Although the original Gongzi Camp They have been relegated to the second line to perform their duties as military police and military eunuchs, but the newly added two battalions of Xiong and Ying have given the East Factory Guards even more power.
Therefore, the sudden appearance of the East Factory Guards means at least two situations. Either the eunuch is here, or they are performing a special task.
After being ordered to stroll around, Niu Wancai suddenly remembered the spy's retelling of Lao Jiu's words in their minds, and their hearts skipped a beat.
Could it be that you are really here for a walk?
The great eunuch likes to go awry when marching and fighting, and his actions are always unexpected. This is obvious to all in the world. Everyone knows that he loves to wander and wander around blindly. It is said that during the Taiyuan War, he secretly sneaked to the Chuangjun camp and even took Xiao Chuang to the camp. Wang Li Laiheng was killed. Later, during the confrontation on the Yellow River, he even crossed the river and made a fuss in Hexi. Moreover, a year ago, this guy also went to Yunnan for a walk without anyone noticing. Later I found out that he also passed through Jingzhou, but he was anxious at the time. I'm just on my way, looking for no trouble.
It's just that he has nothing to do. Why is he walking here? Is he really so free that he brings an army of 100,000 people to Jingzhou for a leisurely stroll?
Of course he is not just strolling around, he is passing through!
Niu Wancai suddenly realized that if he really wanted to attack Jingzhou, he would have taken action long ago because his troops were so quick and he wouldn't give you any nonsense.
It's just transit.
As for you saying he didn't say hello, isn't this a fight? Let Lao Jiu say hello to Hao Yaoqi.
Of course, he wasn't simply crossing the border or simply strolling around.
Just give Jingzhou a show of strength along the way.
Come on, after finally guessing the big eunuch's thoughts, the people in Jingzhou City breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't dare to take it lightly. After all, no one can be sure about the big eunuch's thoughts. Everything is not certain, there is a possibility. We must not lose our sense of precaution. Moreover, when someone comes to show off to us, we have to humble ourselves and kneel down?
Go to hell!
What can you do if you don't kneel down? I really don't believe you dare to start a war!
