Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Dong Xueli is worthy of being a "veteran general", and in a short period of time, he has thoroughly analyzed his life and future. ? happy? arts? Novel ww.ls520. In his opinion, Zhang Changgeng has been relocated from the governor of Huguang to the governor of Huguang. This is in normal times, but the pie that fell from the world has risen greatly. However, the current position of the governor is very intimidating, and if it is not done well, it will even lose a small life.

I think that Hu Quancai had been the governor for seven years, and he had no credit or hard work, but the court said that he would be taken down, and he did not save any face, so he directly locked him into Beijing, but he wanted to be escorted back to Beijing. What happened. When Zhang Changgeng took over, he said that the emperor valued it well, and he was ordered in danger, but if it was ugly, it was also a top tank. If the Huguang battle situation continues to deteriorate like this, the imperial court will always find someone to take the blame. The previous one was Hu Quancai, and the next one must be Zhang Changgeng. The emperor can't take the blame alone.

Zhang Changgeng was also unlucky. When Hong Chengchou was in Changsha, he always looked down on him as the governor of Huguang, and wanted to replace him many times. Now he got his wish and became the governor of Huguang, and Hong Chengchou was also driven to Yunnan by the emperor's decree, and the sky of Huguang can be covered with one hand. However, the fact is that Zhang Changgeng took office only three days before the Kuidong Ming army came to attack Hanyang City. If Hanyang is lost, Wuchang will have no danger to defend. If Governor Zhang abandons the city and runs away, the court will definitely want his head; if he does not run, the Ming army will want his head. Therefore, Zhang Changgeng is not a human being inside or outside at the moment, and he needs his life both inside and outside.

In order to save his life and his hard-earned position as governor, Zhang Changgeng had to repel the Ming army. Even if the situation could not be restored quickly, he had to ensure that it would not break even faster in his hands. For this reason, after learning that the Ming army had invaded a lot, Zhang Changgeng was anxious to lose his reputation as an official. He distributed salaries to the gentry and the people of Wuchang, and forced the strong men. This made the city of Wuchang angry and resentful. Within a few days, a force of more than 30,000 troops was raised.

I thought that although Hao Yaoqi and Ta Tianbao were the two big thieves who came to invade the Ming army, their troops were no more than 10,000 people, but there were more than 30,000 people on their own side. Dead Ming Army. Unexpectedly, before Governor Zhang arrived in Hanyang, Dong Xueli, the forward, was defeated. When the news came back, Dong Xueli was sure that Zhang Changgeng must be furious, and had a hundred thoughts of killing himself.

According to Dong Xueli's idea, Zhang Changgeng knew that after he was defeated, there were no more than two ways to deal with it. One was to return to Wuchang, and if Hanyang was no longer needed, he would stick to Wuchang; Waving the flag they fight.

If Zhang Changgeng chooses to return to Wuchang, he will definitely not be able to get rid of the responsibility for Hanyang's defeat. The court in Beijing will remove him if he can't say it. At that time, the gentry in Wuchang City who was blackmailed by him will definitely unite with the officials who secretly opposed Zhang Changgeng. Complain to the imperial court, then Dong Xueli can also put the responsibility for the defeat entirely on Zhang Changgeng, saying that he did not know the army, rushed forward, and forced the army to defeat, so that he could pick himself out.

If Zhang Changgeng chooses the second method, that is, he does not return to Wuchang to continue his journey south, and there are only two possible outcomes. The first is to win the Ming army. In that case, Zhang Changgeng will not have much hatred for Dong Xueli when he is happy. If Dong Xueli is more interesting, come to apologize for the guilt, and prepare heavy gifts. The Governor-General wants to come. The National People's Congress is forgiving, and will not care about anything with him.

If Zhang Changgeng's fate is the same as his Dong Xueli's defeat, Dong Xueli will be even less afraid, and even the money can be saved, because Zhang Changgeng will definitely be cleaned up by the court, and everyone will fall. What is Dong Xueli to be afraid of? what money? At that time, I will randomly pull a group of strong men nearby and bring them back to Wuchang. The new governor may have to curry favor with himself, because besides him, Dong Xueli, who else can defend Wuchang City for him.

Good or bad, Dong Xueli expected it, now it's up to Zhang Changgeng to decide.

Dong Xueli hoped that Governor Zhang would be foolish and continue to go south, so that he could return to Wuchang with integrity and become the reliance of the new Governor.

Dong Xueli had no other confidence, but he was confident that Zhang Changgeng would lose to the Ming army. The source of this confidence was the details of the more than 20,000 soldiers and horses under Zhang Changgeng. Others don't know, can he not know? Can a group of strong men drawn from the city and the nearby villages call an army and fight? It's a ghost to win!

You must know that he Dong Xueli is not stupid, all the soldiers who can fight in Wuchang City are under his hands, this will be defeated early!

Zhang Changgeng is really stupid, what did he use to fight, and what did he use to win?

......

Zhang Changgeng, the newly appointed governor of Huguang, was in a terrible mood now, pacing up and down the tent, unable to calm down, and wanted to kill. And the group of officials who had always been around him on weekdays would have avoided it far away, lest they would hurt the Governor-General. There was also a lot of discussion in the army, saying that this battle could not be fought again, and many generals even ordered their subordinates to pack up and prepare to go back to Wuchang.

The news of Dong Xueli's defeat was like a thunderbolt to Zhang Changgeng. More than 10,000 soldiers were defeated by the Ming army, and less than a thousand people fled back to Hanyang. Although this guy Dong Xueli is not dead, he doesn't know where to hide. Zhang Changgeng is not a young official in the officialdom.

In the predicament, Zhang Changgeng felt that he was really caught in a dilemma. The news of Dong Xueli's defeat had already spread throughout the army, and he could not block it even if he wanted to. He didn't think that he would immediately retreat back to Wuchang, but he really couldn't retreat like this. If the court knew that he would be defeated as soon as he took office, and he was still complaining in Wuchang City, would he have a good end?

But if he continued to go south, Zhang Changgeng would not have the courage. The Ming army had just defeated Dong Xueli, and his morale was bound to be high. Isn't he courting death when he rammed someone head-on. Dong Xueli couldn't beat Hao Yaoqi and the others, so how could he win? Even if he was willing to fight, the generals below who started to pack up and prepare to go back to Wuchang would not fight!

After thinking about it, Zhang Changgeng sighed, thinking that perhaps returning to Wuchang would be the safest choice. As for the imperial court, as long as I try to exaggerate the strength of the Ming army, I insist that the offending Ming army is the Kuidong soldiers and Taiping bandits. There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. He Zhang Changgeng was newly appointed, and he was more lenient than him because he was a servant of the Han army.

However, to do this, he would have to win over the **** Dong Xueli, and the officials and generals who knew the inside story would have to buy it off, or else the plate could not be covered. Never thought that Zhang Changgeng ordered his master to reveal the collusion to his subordinates sent by Dong Xueli, but that subordinates refused to follow the Governor's words. The reason for this was that Dong Xueli had already discussed with his subordinates, and believed that Zhang Changgeng had offended the Wuchang gentry and many officials, his position was already unstable, and he was defeated, so there was no need to set himself up for Governor Zhang, who would fall from power at any time. go in.

Deceiving the imperial court is a capital crime. If Zhang Changgeng does not fall from power, then of course nothing will happen, but once Zhang Changgeng follows the old path of Hu Quancai, Dong Xueli, who participated in the cheating of the imperial court, will be unlucky. Dong Xueli is not stupid, he just wants to take him out safely, rather than returning to Wuchang with any hidden risks.

Dong Xueli refused to give in, and Zhang Changgeng had no idea. For two days in a row, he did not order to return to the division, nor to advance, so he just stayed like that. On the third day, Zhang Changgeng's cronies couldn't stand it any longer, and they all came to persuade the Governor to make a decision early, otherwise things might get out of hand.

Zhang Changgeng gave a wry smile, made a decision early? What does he decide to win!

It's really no way, just when Governor Zhang didn't know how to advance or retreat, there was good news from Hanyang, saying that the Ming army who was besieging the city suddenly withdrew its troops!

"Is this news true?!"

Zhang Changgeng grabbed the shoulders of the soldier who reported the letter excitedly, and called him the soldier who was also excited. This is the Governor-General!

The news is true, the Ming army really withdrew. The Ming army Hao Yaoqi, Ta Tianbao, and He Zhen, who had just won the victory in Caikou Town, miraculously withdrew their troops, and they withdrew very quickly.

"The Governor is overjoyed, overjoyed!" One of the staff members shouted excitedly, almost dancing.

"Why are you so happy?"

Zhang Changgeng was stunned, the withdrawal of the Ming army was a good thing, but it was not a great joy, was it?

The aide coughed lightly~www.wuxiaspot.com~ stepped forward and said excitedly: "The Governor personally led the army to hit the Ming army, forcing the Ming army to flee, and successfully defending Hanyang, how can it not be a great joy!"

"Oh?"

Zhang Changgeng's expression became very strange. After a while, a smile appeared on his face, he kept nodding, and said repeatedly, "It is indeed a happy event, indeed a happy event."

..........

Hao Yaoqi, Ta Tianbao, and He Zhen did withdraw their troops. To be precise, He Zhen led his troops to attack Hanyang, not to reinforce Hao Yaoqi and Ta Tianbao, but to order Hao Yaoqi and Ta Tianbao under the order of the little tiger Li Laiheng. Tianbao quickly retreated. At the same time, several other Kuidong soldiers who were raiding everywhere also received orders from Li Laiheng and Liu Tichun, ordering them to shrink respectively.

The reason why Li Laiheng, Liu Tichun and the others ordered the shrinking of their ministries was because they received an urgent letter from the Yuanzhou Taiping Army. The letter was written by Zhou Shixiang, the commander of the Taiping Army. The letter only said one thing, that is, Emperor Yongli had abandoned his country and fled to Burma. Tang Wang Zhu Yue supervises the country and acts on behalf of the emperor, so as to secure the hearts of the army and the people in the sea. (To be continued.)
