Seventy-four national disasters and good generals

"Shunjun, a thief?"

Before Lin Yu could speak, Gu Jinxi had already taken out of the car and fired five shots, hitting four bullets, and one shot was lost.

At this moment, the bandits were at least about 400 meters away from Lin Yu and the other two, and the range of the contrail gun was far short of that, so there was no expectation that there would be any danger of being shot.

The gunshots sounded, and the two were hit in the chest, one was shot in the head, and the other was shot in the shoulder.

"Damn, the guards around the emperor are so powerful, run away!"

Witnessing the brains of his companion who was still alive just now, the brains burst out. More than a dozen bandit soldiers were frightened and ran away like huddles, leaving only three corpses and one wounded soldier.

"Li Wei, go and bring the injured bandits here." Lin Yu quickly took off his dragon robe and gave an order.

Li Wei took out his pistol from the cab, ran to the wounded soldiers, pointed the black muzzle at his head, and shouted: "If you know the truth, be honest, follow me to see the governor."

The wounded soldier was almost scared and followed Li Wei to see Lin Yu, holding his bloody wound, and knelt on the ground with a thud: "Sir, please spare me, the villain is just responsible for the whistle."

Lin Yu held an umbrella and asked coldly: "Are you under Li Chuang? Why do you come here and how many soldiers there are?"

The bandits kowtowed like pounding garlic: "When I say that, the villain is the subordinate of Liu Zongmin, the general of the King of Chuang. Two months ago, he followed our brigade to Lujiang Prefecture to spy on military information, so that the King of Chuang led his army down the river to capture Nanjing..."

"Attack Nanjing?" Lin Yu sneered, "The current Huang Wazi is simply a headless fly, and he actually wants to attack Nanjing."

Li Zicheng conquered Beijing last year, forcing Chongzhen to hang Meishan and plundered the capital. At first, he tortured all officials and tortured the scholars and gentry to pay fines. Then it developed into a plunder of the entire army, and even the civilians did not let go. They raped, killed, and plundered, and the people in the capital suffered greatly.

Because the Shun Army general Liu Zongmin forced Chen Yuanyuan to abduct Chen Yuanyuan, Wu Sangui, who was guarding Shanhaiguan, "should be angry and beauties", opened Shanhaiguan and sent a large Qing army into the pass, and fought fiercely with the Dashun Army, which was known as one million.

Since then, the Dashun army was defeated like a mountain. After losing to Beijing, they were chased by the Qing army like a stray dog. They lost Shanxi and Henan one after another. In desperation, they huddled to their nests in Shaanxi and stationed heavy troops in Tongguan to resist the Qing army's pressing step by step.

Four hundred thousand Qing troops followed, led by Prince Ajige and Prince Yu Duoduo of the Qing Dynasty, divided into two groups, crossing the Yellow River from Shanxi and entering Shaanxi, and conquering Tongguan with heavy troops.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Li Zicheng had no choice but to give up his nest and led more than 100,000 Dashun troops south to enter Hubei.

Zuo Liangyu, who was guarding Hubei, was afraid of Li Zicheng's military attack. In order to preserve his strength, he took the initiative to retreat eastward to Anqing. Li Zicheng led the Shun army to occupy Wuchang without bloodshed.

Li Zicheng gathered his generals in Wuchang and planned to attack Nanjing east along the Yangtze River and use the Yangtze River natural barrier to resist the Qing army's attack. At this time, the spy followed his superiors to leave Hubei and go to Anqing to explore military information in Luzhou.

But before the spies could send back the information from Jiangdong, the Qing army led by Ajige attacked Wuchang with lightning speed and forced Li Zicheng to abandon the city and flee. The Yangtze River was cut off by Shang Kexi, Zuo Menggeng's navy, and Li Zicheng had to continue to flee south.

"When you left Wuchang, how many people were there in the Dashun Army?" Lin Yu asked, turning the umbrella in his hand.

The bandit soldier stumbled and said, "When I say... if I say that, the villain left Wuchang, there were still 110,000 troops in the city. Because of Lord Li Yan's death, General Liu Zongmin and the King of Chuang broke up, and he took 30,000 people out of the city and rushed to Jiugong Mountain."

Lin Yu waved his hand: "To your honesty, I will spare your life, go!"

The bandit thanked him so much, turned around and left: "Thank you for not killing me!"

Seeing the wounded soldier covering his bloody shoulders and staggering in the rain, Lin Yu couldn't bear it and greeted him: "Let's wait!"

The bandit soldier was so scared that he was shaking and his body kept trembling in the wind and rain: "Maybe he want to kill the villain again?"

Lin Yu sighed and said, "You are very hurt. If you don't bandage it, you may not last long in this storm. You will come back and save your life."

"Thank you, thank you!"

The bandit thanked him so much that he followed Lin Yu into the tank cockpit.

Gu Jinxi curled his lips and complained to Li Wei: "Everyone said that Ci is not in charge of soldiers. Look at him like this, how could he be like a decisive governor?"

Li Wei touched his bald head and said disapprovingly: "The governor is just sympathizing with the weak. He is fierce in treating the enemy!"

Lin Yu had the medical box that bandaged Gu Jinxi before. He took out gauze and tweezers to clean the wounds of the bandit, pinched out bullets, and finally applied medicine to bandage, "Your life has been saved."

The bandits thanked him very much: "Thank you for your help, Lord Zhang Ada, the villain, is willing to serve you."

Lin Yu asked while packing the medicine box: "Do you know Li Zicheng?"

Zhang Ada bowed his head and said, "The villain once worked as a miscellaneous soldier who had been breaking into Wang Shuai's tent for half a month, so he naturally recognized the thief...

Lin Yu nodded: "Okay, I plan to go to Hubei to find Li Zicheng, and you can go with me."

Zhang Ada didn't know why the governor in the dragon robe looked for Li Zicheng, so he didn't dare to ask too much, and kept nodding: "The villain is willing to lead the way."

Lin Yu led the way in front of Mekava, Li Wei drove and walked more than 30 miles southward, colliding with 40,000 reinforcements led by Wei Guangdong and Fang Guoan.

Wei Guangdong reported: "You reported to the governor, you just received a letter from Ma Ge Lao in the morning, saying that Huang Degong had repelled Zuo Liangyu's rebels and shot him to death. His son Zuo Menggeng was promoted to the main general and led his troops back to Anqing to surrender to the British King of the Qing Dynasty."

Huang Degong defeated Zuo Liangyu as Lin Yu expected, but unexpectedly, Huang Degong pretended to be a military merit and lied that Zuo Liangyu was shot dead. In history, he clearly died of illness on the ship.

"I didn't expect that even loyal ministers like Huang Degong would lie about their achievements. It would be strange if the Ming Dynasty did not perish!" Lin Yu sighed in his heart.

It was common for warlords to lie in the late Ming Dynasty, and even warlords killed good people and took credit for their achievements. Mao Wenlong, who was killed by Yuan Chonghuan with Shangfang's sword, did many such things.

Wei Guangdong continued to report: "Huang Degong learned that the Qing army was attacking Fengyang fiercely, leaving his son Huang Yuan to guard Wuhu, and personally led 60,000 soldiers across the Yangtze River and came to rescue from Luzhou."

Lin Yu showed a look of relief and sighed: "I think of good generals in the country's difficulties. In the crisis, someone finally stepped forward. Compared with the other three towns, Huang Degong is a loyal minister!"

Wei Guangdong, Zhu Youliang and others nodded one after another: "What the governor said is very true. Compared with Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing, Huang Degong can be considered loyal and brave."

Lin Yu said again: "This governor has sent his divine machine company to Fengyang City to enhance his defense. In addition, the continuous rain and the Qing army's artillery was damp and could not attack the city in a short time. This governor decided to go to Hubei to contact Li Zicheng."

Wei Guangdong and Zhu Youliang were shocked when they heard this: "What did the governor say? Are you going to meet... a thief?"
