Eighty-six Shangfang Sword
Jiugong Mountain is only 140 miles away from Baling, Yuezhou Prefecture, and arrives in an hour and a half in a truck.
As we walked along the way, we were amazed when we saw the trees on both sides of the road constantly retreating, while the trucks were only slightly bumpy, at least much more comfortable than riding a horse.
"This iron car is so amazing. It can drive like flying without horse pulling or pushing. Where did the governor get it?"
"Sent by European friendly forces."
The word Europe did not appear until the 20th century. Nowadays, Westerners are generally called "Red-haired barbarians". Li Guo and Gao Yigong naturally don't know where Europe is, and Lin Yu wants this effect.
"Which state is Europe? Which province is located in? I haven't heard of it!"
Both of them were confused, but they were embarrassed to break the casserole and ask to the end. They thought that Europe was at the same administrative level as Guangzhou and Jingzhou, and they might be ignorant.
"The servants in Yuezhou City must have never seen a truck. In order to get into the city smoothly, it is best to hike to the city."
When Baling County entered his sight, Lin Yu parked the truck in a wood and hid it, leaving Gu Jinxi to take four soldiers to watch the car, put on his official uniform and took the others into the city.
The Qing army had already captured Chengtian Prefecture opposite the Yangtze River. The vanguard troops of the Qing Dynasty, Shang Kexi, king of Pingnan, were stationed in Bailuoji 50 miles across the other side. Therefore, Yuezhou Prefecture was facing a great enemy and the city gate was closed.
"Ha... the people on the city wall have heard that the person who came was the governor of Fengyang of Daming and the general of Jianghuai, Lin Zhenjiang, who came to Yuezhou to inspect the military situation. In order to inspect the military situation, he quickly opened the door to greet him!" Deng Yan shouted at the top of his throat with a submachine gun on his back.
There were sparse defenders on the city wall, about 200 people. The leader of the hundred households saw only a dozen people coming. They were not suspected of being cheated and ordered the city gate to open and put people in to speak.
"Who dares to ask who is Governor Lin?"
The bearded Baihu asked with a flattering smile.
Lin Yu was wearing a crimson second-rank military officer uniform, wearing a black veil on his head, and holding his hands on his back, and asked coldly: "I ask you, how many defenders are there in Yuezhou Prefecture now, who is the prefect? Who is the commander?"
Baihu nodded and bowed, "If you want to go back to the governor, our prefect is Lord Liu Youde and Lord Yao Xi, commander of Yuezhou Guard. Because there are many military households who flee, the entire Yuezhou Guard is less than 3,000 troops, and the number of soldiers is about 3,500..."
With a "bang", Lin Yu slapped a big ear on Baihu's cheek, leaving a red handprint.
"Uh... Why did the governor hit me?" Baihu was shocked and angry, and he suppressed his anger and questioned.
Lin Yu snorted coldly: "Now that the enemy is facing a great enemy, you can open the city gate with just one official robe. If the person who came from the Tartars was in charge, I am afraid that the city gate would be lost at this moment.
Secondly, you leaked military secrets before you even found out your identity, and you were not vigilant. How dare you ask what you used to defend the city and what you used to defend the people of Yuezhou?"
Baihu was deeply aggrieved and covered his hot cheeks and said, "Since you said that, let me verify your documents and seals. If there is a false one...huh!"
"Get my Shangfang Sword!"
Lin Yu shouted loudly, took the sword handed by Deng Yan, and drew the sword in his hand with a "clang" sound, "Isn't it too late to remember now? This governor asked you to verify whether my Shangfang sword is true or false!"
Before he finished speaking, a sword light flashed and a head had already rolled to the ground.
Seeing the blood fountain spraying out from the headless corpse, the soldiers behind Baihu were so scared that they knelt down on the ground and begged for mercy, "Governor, please spare me!"
"This Shangfang sword is simply a powerful tool for pretending!"
Lin Yu took the sword and returned to the sheath, and felt secretly happy. He didn't have to bear legal responsibility for killing this sword, and he would kill anyone who didn't like him!
If I gave myself such a sword before traveling through time, hehe... Lin Yu felt that he seemed to have been thinking a little far away, so he hurriedly stopped his thoughts and scolded: "Let Liu Youde and Yao Xi come to see me!"
The prefect yamen was singing and dancing, and the prefect Liu was holding a banquet to entertain the commander Yao Xi, the commander Liu Ding, the commander Hu Miao and others, the commander Sun Tong, and the judge Wang Tong all came to accompany him.
"This, Shang Kexi's 20,000 vanguard troops are located on Bailuoji on the other side. They may cross the river to attack the city at any time. Several colleagues thought what should we do next?" Liu Youde asked with a glass of wine.
Yao Xi, who had dark skin and stout body, stroked his short beard and said, "There is no outsider here, so Yao will tell the truth."
"Listen attentively." Liu Zhifu, Sun Tongzhi, and Wang Tongzhi nodded together.
Yao Xi drank the wine in the cup and said in a deep voice: "Zuo Menggeng led his troops to surrender to Ajige. Yuan Jixian and He Tengjiao were all captured. Now Hubei and Hunan have no leader, and the morale of the various garrisons is dispersed. I can't defend it anymore... I think I surrender?"
Liu Ding said: "That's all. With the 2,700 people from our Yuezhou Guards, plus the prefecture and the county government, there are only about 3,500 people. They can't stop the Qing army's red cannons, and they will just be killed in vain!"
"Sir, sir...is not good!"
A general flag officer stumbled in.
The prefect Liu took a sip of wine and asked in a deep voice: "Why are you panic?"
The general flag was gasping and bowed, "A high-ranking official wearing a second-rank official uniform came to the East City Gate. He claimed to be the governor of Fengyang and the general of Jianghuai. He said he was coming to our Yuezhou to inspect the military situation..."
Everyone here was shocked and finally realized after a while.
Master Liu picked up the handkerchief and wiped the oil stains on the corner of his mouth: "No, Fengyang can't take care of our Hunan, right? What did he come to our Yuezhou to do?"
Sun Tongzhi also pondered: "I heard that Lin Yu brought 40,000 troops to Fengyang to help, why did he come to our Yuezhou thousands of miles? Could it be that the Tartars pretended to be?"
"impossible!"
Yao Xi denied it, "I had contacted Shang last night... Anyway, it was definitely not a fake by the Qing army!"
The chief flag officer wiped the sweat beads on his forehead: "The villain dared not ask. The governor cut off Cao Baihu's head as soon as he entered the door."
The killed Baihu was the brother-in-law of Liu Ding, the commander of Yuezhou Guard, and he couldn't help but slammed the table: "I fuck his grandma, this Lin is too rampant, right? Why do you kill people for no reason?"
The chief flag officer spread his hands: "He is holding the Shangfang sword, who dares to ask him!"
Yao Xi gritted his toothpick and asked viciously: "How many people have you brought?"
"There are seven or eight followers in total, otherwise we wouldn't have let them into the city." The chief flag replied with tears in his eyes.
Yao Xi slapped the table and said, "In my opinion, it must be a great achievement to arrest everyone regardless of whether it is true or not!"
Liu Ding clapped his hands and agreed: "Well, Lin Zhenjiang killed ten thousand Qing troops in Yangzhou. The Qing court probably hated him to the core. If we offer people, we will be able to increase our ranks."
