Chapter 021 Announcement
"What my nephew said makes sense, but we should go to Ming, will Xinglang accept us?"
If the name is not upright, the words will not go well, and if the words are not upright, things will not come true. Hu Guozhu cannot understand this principle.
However, Emperor Yongli of the Ming Dynasty was strangled to death by Wu Sangui on Mount Wuhua by bowstring. In addition to the chieftain, the court officials of the Xinglang court were basically the remnants of Li Dingguo. Now that Wu and Zhou are in poverty, Hu Guozhu does not think that Xinglang will forget this national hatred and family hatred.
"Uncle Hu, my nephew, heard that the current Emperor Xinglang Zhu Jinyu is quite wise. While appeaseing the Na family, he also valued Wang Xing'an, Luo Chengxu and others as auxiliary ministers. Both of them are Han people, so they naturally understand the principle of losing their lips and cold teeth..."
The familiarity of time travelers with the direction of history is the best golden finger. As a keyboard warrior who is familiar with the history of the late Ming Dynasty, he still has a good understanding of the Xinglang regime.
In the original history, Zhu Jinyu relied on the more than 3,000 Zhou troops he was incorporated to successfully undermine Naqing, who was in charge of the government, and expanded hundreds of miles to include the entire Lancang in the ruling scope.
"Retreat to Yongchang is our established strategy. As for whether Xinglang accepts us or not, this is a later story. I thought Sanger could not be willing to do so. Once he joined the Xifu army, he would definitely raise an army to attack. Therefore, our army should evacuate as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the Qing army approached the city, our army would not be able to leave even if we wanted to leave. Gao Zhifu, you should immediately mobilize the people and ask them to pack their clothes. We will set off tomorrow morning."
Ma Bao raised his hand to stop Hu Guozhu and Ma Zhongying's dispute, turned to look at Hu Dasheng who came to report the situation of the war, and said, "Parent Hu, please immediately bring Biliktu and Ibahan's head to Lancang to discuss the requisition."
"Then follow Ma Shuai!"
Within the Wu and Zhou regime, Ma Bao was quite prestigious. He set the tone, and Hu Guozhu dared not refute it. He also knew that Ma Bao was the soul of the Zhou army. Since Ma Bao appeared in Yao'an, he had lost the management of the army.
"Here, I'll do it now."
The benefactor has received the military order, so Hu Dasheng naturally dared not say much. After receiving the military order, he hurried out of the lobby.
Gao Xuejun also happily accepted the order. He was not a serious imperial examination, but a local magistrate appointed by Wu Sangui. He was a private official of Wu Sangui and was closely related to the Wu family. He knew that if he and his family did not retreat to Yongchang, once the Qing army entered the city, he would be the first unlucky person.
Dangdangdangdangdang..."
The situation was urgent, and soon there was a rapid sound of gongs in front of the east gate of Yao'an City. The people around him looked at them along the sound of gongs and found that several clerks from the government office were leading more than a dozen yamen servants to post notices there.
The yamen were posting the list documents, while the creators were holding up their iron horns and shouting, "Duke Bao is the general order, the people should come and see!"
The people of Zhou Zuo were attracted by the sound of gongs and the shouts of the scholars. In just a short while, they squeezed Yao'an's east gate into pieces. The people in front of them were whispering and whispering, but they didn't know what was said on the list, because no one knew how to read.
The people behind were even more curious, and tried their best to raise their toes, stretched their necks desperately and looked forward, wanting to know what was going on.
"Don't make a noise, don't make a noise. Duke Bao has a general order. Zhou Jun, a family in the middle of the city, should go home immediately to get some luggage and prepare to follow the army to Yongchang Prefecture. As for the local people, if you are willing to follow the army, you will follow the army. If you don't want to, Duke Bao will not force it."
The speaker's book is named Wang Degui. He is over fifty years old this year. He was originally a juren from the Yongli Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, a few years after he passed the exam, the Qing army rushed to Yunnan.
In order to avoid the war, he moved his family to Yaozhou. He studied hard for twenty years and then went into nothing. In order to make a living, he had to devote himself to Gao Xuejun's shogunate and become a clerk.
Everyone is a fellow villager. Based on the principle of helping as long as you can, Wang Degui said the general meaning of the announcement in public.
"Go to Yongchang, didn't Marshal Ma defeat the Tartars? Why did we go to the place where birds do not lay eggs?"
"That's right, that's... in that battle this morning, Duke Bao showed his might and fought Sanger and fled in a panic. Why do we have to leave?"
The people left their hometowns and were humble. In addition, after the Sangge army came to Yao'an, Hu Guozhu had been propaganda in the city in order to stabilize the people's hearts. The Great Zhou army had made decisive progress in Yunnan. Ma Bao and Xia Guoping troops divided into two groups to attack Kunming. The Great Zhou quickly launched a full-scale counterattack against the Qing army entering Yunnan.
But although lies can be deceived for a while, they cannot be deceived for a lifetime. As the Qing army stationed under the city gradually grows longer, there are already voices of doubt in the city.
Hu Guozhu was helpless and even prepared to mobilize troops to suppress the enemy. The battle to break the camp this morning completely dispelled the suspicion of the people. Faced with the huge victory, the people were happy, so everyone was glad that they no longer had to face the Qing army, which was famous for their cruelty.
But no one expected that the first military order for Duke Bao to enter the city was to let everyone leave their hometown to Yongchang, and the people present suddenly started to clamor.
"Everyone is quiet, quiet, listen to my words."
In this era, fifty years old is already considered a long life, so Wang Degui can naturally bear the word "old".
As the noise of the people slowly stopped, Wang Degui cleared his throat and continued to speak: "To be honest, Kunming has been surrounded by the Qing army. Duke Bao was defeated in Chuxiong and then surrendered to Yaozhou. Today, he was just a surprise attack by Sange. The main force of the Qing army might be in two days before the turtle soldiers came to the city. At that time, everyone will really not be able to leave."
Since he could no longer hide it, Wang Degui simply opened up and told the truth about Yunnan. Wang Degui, who had been massacred by the Qing army, really couldn't bear to see the people of Yaozhou being slaughtered by the Qing army again.
"ah……!"
The people were shocked by the sensational news, and they opened their mouths one by one, looking at Wang Degui steadily.
"Go home and pack up."
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted heart-wrenchingly. This person was a survivor of the Qing army's massacre in Chuxiong twenty years ago. He was panicked and pushed everyone away and ran away.
Dear fellow villagers, don’t watch the show here, hurry up and pack your things and take your wife and children away!"
Wang Degui looked at the still stunned people of Yao An, gave a gift to the crowd, and then led the yamen and the sectarian office who followed him to squeeze out the frightened crowd.
They also have wives, children, and family property. They are also afraid that the Qing army will carry out another tragic massacre and they will save their lives.
"The big week is over, run away!"
Finally, after a brief silence, the crowd became turbulent again, and everyone ran home desperately.
Chapter completed!
