Liu Tichun and Li Laiheng surrendered, and the three Tan brothers were destroyed. A series of great changes immediately changed Shizhou Wei's world completely.
The three remaining forces, Hao Yaoqi, Wang Guangxing, and Li Guo, were all frightened and retreated hundreds of miles, becoming frightened birds.
By this time, they deeply felt that they were weak and weak, so they decided to recruit reinforcements.
Hao Yaoqi set out in person and traveled three hundred miles day and night until he reached the stone pillar. Although this place is as remote as Shizhouwei, there was a prominent figure in the historical turmoil of the late Ming Dynasty.
That is Qin Liangyu.
"Although we were rogues in the past, we have now accepted the imperial court's invitation. Fortunately, we are respectful colleagues with the old lady. The Chinese army is coming from the east and is unstoppable. If there is no good strategy, both our families will be razed to the ground. Please also ask the old lady. Put the overall situation first and work together to overcome the difficulties." In front of Qin Liangyu, Hao Yaoqi was very respectful.
Everyone in the world admires this strange woman. Qin Liangyu is now seventy-two years old. He is old and frail, and his energy is low. He has long given up his secular affairs and handed them over to his descendants.
However, when a big event came, he was still asked to come out and make up his mind. Faced with Hao Yaoqi's rhetoric, Qin Liangyu did not completely believe it.
She has been dealing with these bandits for many years and knows very well that these people are insidious and cunning and will do anything they can. Even if Hao Yaoqi and others have been recruited by the court, it is just a helpless move due to the situation.
Furthermore, Qin Liangyu didn't like the Nanming court far away in Guangxi. I heard that Emperor Yongli had just succeeded to the throne and was determined to forge ahead without thinking about restoring the country.
He was actually busy selecting draft girls, enriching his harem, and was living in extravagance and extravagance. Can such a person restore the Ming Dynasty?
Dashun and Manchu Qing swept through the Central Plains one after another, and Qin Liangyu was always worried. Many parties put forward suggestions and suggestions, but all ended in failure.
Today, Shizhu's strength is extremely weak. When Zhang Xianzhong invaded Sichuan, the only thing Qin Liangyu could do was to protect himself.
Relying on the dangerous terrain of the Shizhu area, it was possible to survive. Now that a more powerful empire is coming, Qin Liangyu, as strong as he is, doesn't know what to do.
The only thing she can tell her descendants is to fulfill their duties, observe integrity, and be loyal to the country. To put it bluntly, her plan is to do her best and obey fate.
Hao Yaoqi ran around but didn't get the results he wanted. With great regret, he could only go back and think of another way.
"Grandma, the Chinese army is powerful, and unification of the world is a foregone conclusion. If we resist stubbornly, I'm afraid the whole army will be annihilated. I ask my grandmother for advice on where to go." Under the great changes, everyone is in danger, and everyone in Shizhu is in danger. It’s hard to avoid being caught up in choices.
Ma Wannian and Qin Yiming secretly exchanged glances, trying to persuade Qin Liangyu. In their eyes, Shizhu's interests outweigh everything else.
The Ming court far away in Guangxi is not worthy of burial. Although Qin Liangyu is old, his heart is clear.
"Since Emperor Shenzong, our Shizhu family has received many favors from the country, and we have only been blessed today. A drop of grace is repaid by a spring. The previous emperors have been so kind and honorable. Even if we die in full name, what does it mean? "Seeing that the old lady's heart was as solid as stone, Ma Wannian, Qin Yiming and others were all helpless.
In the final analysis, Qin Liangyu is Shizhu's god. As long as she is around, others can only obey her orders. Just as Ma Wannian, Qin Yiming and others were thinking hard about good strategies, Shizhu welcomed a new guest.
"Please report to General Qin that the Imperial Hubei Provincial Government Gao Hongtu and the Chief of Staff of the National Defense Forces Southern Strategic Cluster Ji Conghua paid a special visit." As soon as the famous name was announced, the entire stone pillar trembled.
Qin Liangyu did not dare to neglect and quickly summoned everyone to discuss countermeasures.
"Judging from my experience, the person who came here must be trying to persuade me to surrender." Ma Wannian was in high spirits.
"The emperor of the new dynasty also knows my grandmother's reputation and admires her achievements. In this way, our stone pillars will surely have peace of mind." Qin Liangyu rolled his eyes at his grandson and sighed in his heart.
After all, young people do not have the bloody courage of their fathers and grandfathers. After her death, the foundation of this stone pillar may not be preserved.
This discovery made Qin Liangyu feel a little disappointed. She doesn't have much time left, so what's the point of persisting like this?
"Invite two distinguished guests." She guessed well. Gao Hongtu and Ji Conghua came here to appease them.
Everyone in the empire admired Qin Liangyu and hoped that the problem could be solved peacefully.
When the two parties met, Gao Hongtu and Ji Conghua were very respectful, looking like they would be admired by their younger generations.
This gesture made everyone in Shizhu very happy, and the atmosphere between the two parties was relatively harmonious.
"Our army marched into Liaodong a few days ago and has conquered Liaoyang and Shenyang. During the battle, we discovered something, which may be related to the old woman. Your Majesty personally told him that he must present it to the old lady to do his best." Ji Conghua asked his men to The box opens.
Before the things inside were taken out, Qin Liangyu suddenly stood up, her dim old eyes filled with tears.
"This... this... this..." Not to mention her, the slightly older Qin Yiming lost his composure.
In the first box, there were several old and damaged weapons. One of the bright silver spears was the most eye-catching, and the clear patterns on it foreshadowed something.
Qin Yiming stepped forward cautiously and wanted to reach out and take it out, but suddenly he fell to his knees and cried hard.
Qin Liangyu was supported by Ma Wannian and looked at each box. After taking one look, he let out a mournful cry, completely unable to contain his excitement.
She was absolutely unmistakable. The weapons and armor in these boxes are the relics of his brothers Qin Bangping and Qin Banghan who died in the battle on the banks of the Hun River.
She also went out with the army at the beginning, one step behind her two brothers. Their appearance has always been engraved in my mind, and as time goes by, it becomes clearer and clearer.
Every time she dreamed about it in the middle of the night, she could not help but feel the wails and bloodshed of those tribesmen who could not come back. Soon, the news spread throughout Dazhai.
People came from almost every house, crying loudly around the boxes. In that battle that year, almost every stone pillar that was fought was mourned.
After twenty-five years, the relics of my loved ones finally returned to their hometown. Qin Liangyu and others cried bitterly for three hours before finally feeling relieved.
Looking at Gao Hongtu and Ji Conghua who were standing by silently mourning, Qin Liangyu was completely convinced.
"Please tell me, His Majesty the Emperor, that from now on I, Shi Zhu, will die and never repent!" Gao Hongtu quickly returned the gift.
"Your Majesty has promised that the general will come to see the old lady in the near future." Qin Liangyu was a little surprised.
"Your Majesty, your majesty, should go and bow down to you." Gao Hongtu quickly stopped him.
"Your Majesty said that when he joined the army to kill the enemy, he followed the old woman as an example. It is only in line with the rules for the younger generation to come to ask for advice." Everyone in the stone pillar next to them heard that Zuo Menggeng was coming, and their faces were all red.
Compared with the emperor of Ming Dynasty, the emperor of the empire is undoubtedly more convincing!
