"On his way to his appointment, Lin Yingguan encountered several bandits who were blocking the road. He was arrested by Lin Yingguan three times, five times and five times two. When Lin Yingguan came, Yunyang would be at peace!"
The short Lao Pan was wearing the military uniform of the Fourth Corps, holding a wooden trumpet, and shouting at the top of the city at the top of the city in extremely unpleasant and harsh Daqi Mandarin.
"These bandits are so heinous that they dare to openly rob on the post road without even mentioning robbery! I didn't expect that just a short time after the death of the Supreme Emperor, the security of Huguang has been reduced to this level... Now Officer Lin is here If it goes away, there will be peace in Yunyang!"
After Lao Pan finished speaking, he didn't even look at the faces of Shu Fujia and Ji Xiaobai, and just took selfies and clapped his hands.
A group of Ryukyu soldiers behind him stared at each other, obviously not understanding what Lao Pan was talking about.
The soldiers of the Fourth Corps standing on the top of the city opposite looked maliciously at the strange group of Ryukyu soldiers in front of them.
When Lao Pan saw this, he shouted: "Execution!"
His voice was sharp and harsh, scaring Ji Xiaobai so much that he almost jumped into the moat.
Fortunately, the Ryukyu soldiers understood this sentence and involuntarily pushed a group of thieves out of the array, lined up, and knelt down by the Yunyang moat.
"shot!"
Flag captain Cui Qi gave an order. Under the gazes of Ji Xiaobai and Shu Fujia, there was a sound of firecrackers under the city, and a thick white smoke rose from the river.
When the white smoke dissipated, more than a dozen corpses of bandits fell on the ground. A group of Ryukyu soldiers surrounded the young Lin Zhenyu, looking up at the tower.
Ji Xiaobai and Shu Fujia looked at each other and lowered their voices: "The domineering attitude is exposed."
Ji Xiaolan took a breath and stroked her chin beard: "We escorted a prisoner of the imperial court to Yunyang. He killed someone as soon as he arrived and said he was not from the imperial court!"
Shu Fujia said: "If you know how to kill, you don't necessarily want to kill someone. If you know how to kill, you don't necessarily want to kill us. Let Marshal Qin get to know him first."
Ji Xiaobai echoed: "Yes, don't worry, just play with him."
While Qin Jianxun's two men were whispering to each other, Lin Zhenyu walked to the eldest princess's carriage, held up his hands and said to Liu Yufei through the carriage door:
"Elder Princess, according to the law, you cannot follow me into the city, so please wait outside the city until the final settlement with Chief Qin is clear, and then escort Your Highness to the station."
"Thank you for your hard work, General Lin."
Liu Yufei agreed in the carriage and stopped talking. The guard Zhao Xianzhen held a weapon and stared at the surroundings.
Lin Zhenyu noticed that the guard's knife wound had healed and was almost recovered. Xindao Wuzi's medical skills were indeed extraordinary.
In fact, how did he know that as girls of the Wu family in Osaka, in addition to being good at calligraphy and literature, acupuncture and decoction are also indispensable skills for them.
"Thieves must be killed at any time. If you don't kill them, the people will not be angry!" Ji Xiaobai shouted, "I remember that in the early years of Yunyang, I would not close my house at night and not pick up things on the road. The people's customs are simple. I don't know when it started. Farmers stopped farming. Now, merchants have stopped doing business, even veterans are idle, and the number of thieves has been increasing."
Shu Fujia stepped forward and said: "Lin Yingguan came to Yunyang this time. Yin Shi got out of the car and wiped out so many thieves for the local area. His contribution is not small. It can be seen that the young man is a talented man and the saint has a discerning eye... Qin The commander-in-chief will be delighted when he learns about this! Commander Lin, let’s stop chatting. Please! Commander-in-Chief Qin will greet you at Chunxue Tower today!”….
Lin Zhenyu bowed his hands in reply, urged the horse, followed the two men, passed the suspension bridge, and slowly entered Yunyang City.
Yunyang City was built in the pre-Ming Dynasty. In the eighth year of Tianshun (1464), the earth city was built.
In the twelfth year of Chenghua (1476), after the chaos among Jingxiang refugees, Yunyang Mansion was added and located here. The city wall was rebuilt with bricks and stones. The wall of the city is more than eight hundred feet in circumference, one foot and five feet high, one foot and eight feet wide at the bottom, and one foot and six feet wide at the top. There are 3,752 battlements. Four city gates were erected according to their directions: Xuanhe in the east, Yingxun in the south, Pingli in the west, and Gongchen in the north. There are also small gates in the west and south, namely the small south gate and the small west gate.
The city gates are all stone arches. The four major city gates all have two gates, and between the two gates is the Moon Pond. The north gate is taboo to face north, the outer gate is set to the west, and the other three gates all face due east, due west, and due south.
In the thirty-sixth year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty (1557), Zhang Huan, the governor of the Ming Dynasty, built a city wall of more than 200 feet in the northeastern area and added a small east gate, named Shiyu.
In the autumn of the forty-fifth year of Jiajing (1566), the Han River overflowed and the southeastern corner of the city collapsed. Governor Liu Bingren repaired it. At that time, the city was two feet one foot high and one foot eight feet thick. Twenty huts and seven gatehouses were built. , three urn towers and one turret. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Shizhen, the governor of the Ming Dynasty, changed the north gate tower into Chunxue Tower. From the first year of Wanli to the first year of Taichang in the Ming Dynasty (1573 to 1620), a protective pool was built outside the east gate, which was more than fifty feet long, two feet wide and nine feet deep.
In the first year of Wuding (1628), Zhang Shangwei was governed and ordered to repair Yunyang City in sections in Yunxian, Yunxi, Junxian, Zhushan and Fangxian counties. In the eighth year of Taichu, the prefect Wang Changchang, the magistrate Ye Zhi of Yun County and other counties donated money for repairs and built four more houses.
In the seventh year of Guangde (1658), the prefect Hou Tingyue and the county magistrate Liang Guangzhao repaired it and formed its current scale.
The ancient city of Yunyang, turning from the northwest to the east, all rests on the mountain. No pond (i.e. moat) can be dug. There is only a dredged pond outside the north gate, which is two feet wide, nine feet deep and more than fifty feet long. The southwest area is bounded by the Han River. For the pool. The city wall is 730 feet long and 30 feet wide from the South Gate to Fulong Pass, and has ten stone Fozui forts. There are 90 forts on the city and 300 forts outside the city, forming a solid defense and becoming a forward fortress to resist the invasion of the southwestern chieftains and guard the borders of Daqi.
Lin Zhenyu and his party entered the city through Yingxun Gate, passed through North and South Street, and arrived at the magistrate's Yamen. Yunyang Magistrate Hou Tingyue and Magistrate Liang Guangzhao had received the news early and were waiting at the gate of the Yamen.
Lin Zhenyu performed military salutes to the two civil servants in turn. Hou Ting stepped forward, his beard trembling exaggeratedly, grabbed Lin Zhenyu's arm, looked him up and down, and said in wonder:
"Oh, yes, it turns out that this is General Lin, the son of the Marquis of Zhennan, who defeated the red-haired barbarians and won the championship of the three armies! What a shame for being such a rotten scholar and not being able to witness the battlefield and witness the grace of General Lin. General Lin is here to visit us. Yang, not only is the people of our state capital convinced, but it is also the blessing of the Fourth Corps!"
"What Magistrate Hou said is true. We have advocated martial arts since the founding of our dynasty, but recently the military generals have withered away, and some rebellious officials and traitors have used the name of Qing Jun to rebel, ruining the reputation of martial arts. After General Lin Zhongliang, there are thousands more The husband is not brave enough, but with General Lin here, how can a group of young men dare to do whatever they want! This is not only a blessing for our Yunyang Mansion, it is a blessing for the entire Huguang!"...
As the county magistrate Liang Guangzhao spoke, he looked around. At this time, Shu Fujia and Ji Xiaobai, who had escorted Lin Zhenyu into the city, had returned to the military camp to resume their lives. Not here, the two civil servants were grasping at straws, only touting Lin Zhenyu as Wei Qing's reincarnation and Sun Wu's resurrection, just like Xu When Da, Qi and Jiguang came, they were only given to General Lin to carry his shoes.
"Prefect Hou and County Magistrate Liang are ridiculous. The last general only defeated a few red-haired barbarians in Ryukyu. How can he be compared with Qi Shaobao..."
"Officer Lin is overly humble. I see that you don't have many soldiers. There are many vacant rooms in the schools and workshops in Yunyang Mansion City. Why don't you set up your camp there so that if something happens in the city, you can have someone to take care of you."
After all, Lin Zhenyu was a young man. He said this, and after hearing some flattery from the civil servants, he felt a little carried away. Just when he was about to agree to the prefect, Lao Pan saw this, hurriedly pulled his sleeves, and whispered:
"Officer Lin, the soldiers have been working hard all the way. Why don't you arrange a rest first? It's okay if you don't eat. The horses also need to eat some fodder..."
As he spoke, he pulled Lin Zhenyu aside and said angrily: "These two civil servants are full of bad ideas. There is no reason to set up barracks in the city. I guess they are usually suppressed by Qin Jianxun's gang of warriors. They have been resentful for a long time and have finally waited for you to come." I want your company to be the leader, vent their anger, and compete with Qin Jianxun. These civil servants and military generals have always been at odds with each other. You are new here, so don’t get yourself involved."
~~~~~
While Lin Zhenyu and the two civil servants from Yunyang Fucheng were chatting and greetings, the training officer Shu Fujia and the code officer of the Fourth Corps Ji Xiaobai had already returned to the military camp to resume their duties.
"Did you see clearly? He really came with the eldest princess and Chief Lu?"
Instructor Shu Xun said categorically: "Old Qin, it's really them. I even sent a soldier who had been in Nanjing to take a peek in front of the carriage. The person sitting in the carriage is indeed the eldest princess Liu Yufei."
Qin Jianxun frowned, with a confused look on his face: "Logically speaking, the two of them should have been..."
Ji Xiaobai interjected: "Who says it's not the case? Now that these two hot potatoes are in our hands, what does Emperor Guangde want to do?"
Qin Jianxun sighed, shook his head and said, "These two people are easy to deal with. It's just a matter of moving them to another place and continuing to lock them up. But Lin Yu's son... oh, it's difficult to deal with."
The instructor looked around, waved his hand at the soldiers, and dismissed them.
"Old Qin, I think it's better to rebel. Liu Kan's move is a conspiracy. He wants to wait for us to rebel and then deal with us. It's better to rebel sooner than later!"
[It has been running stably for many years. It is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, and is used by old bookworms, huanyuan.]
Ji Xiaobai followed up and advised: "As soon as the new emperor came to power, he killed his old ministers. First Zhang Dong and others, then Pu Gang, then the eldest princess and Lu Xiangsheng, not counting the demoted civil servants. Now that he has no worries, he will come Deal with our fourth corps. Old Qin, you followed the Supreme Emperor in the north and south, and made such great contributions, but you didn’t expect it to end like this! You can’t even save your life and property, this guy has always been ruthless, and he has to kill everyone based on his attitude.”
"Lin Zhenyu is not a good person. He killed people when he entered the city today. He said he was killing thieves. He made it clear that he has trouble with us. With the support of the emperor, he came to Yunyang just to occupy the magpie's nest and drive us away... Lao Qin, without further ado, let’s rebel now! Kill Lin Zhenyu first, and then make the eldest princess Zhengshuo, and let’s try to seduce the emperor as well!”
······
Qin Jianxun said thoughtfully: "Lin Zhenyu is a battalion officer sent by the imperial court. Due to emotions and reasons, I should personally go out of the city to greet you today. The reason why I sent you is to test the imperial court's tone. I didn't expect this result. , What I didn’t expect even more was that Deng Changxiong and Wu Aheng actually defected to the new emperor..."
The two confidants looked at the commander eagerly, waiting for Qin Jianxun's order.
"Fight? How to fight? The Fourth Corps does not have as many soldiers as they do, not even an airship, let alone a ship... Do you know how Deng Changxiong defeated the Sixth Corps when Liu Kan pacified Liaodong? They directly Throw bombs and burn them, the sky is filled with fire, and everything is destroyed. Now you ask those soldiers to use their flesh and blood to block the incendiary bombs. How can they stop it?"
Qin Jianxun found himself in a strange situation. No matter whether he rebelled or not, he would die in the end. .
