Please ask me to be the emperor

It turned out that Zhang Shun's plan failed that day and he made another plan.

Not to mention how Zhang Shun arranged it, but among the officers and soldiers, Deng Qi and the bandit chief "Zijin Liang", "Chuang Jiang" and other tribes fought fiercely, without any success, and retreated without success.

Originally, Deng Qi was planning to retreat to the vicinity of Wu'an. After joining Zuo Liangyu, Tang Jiuzhou and others, he gathered a large army and wanted to strike a thunderous blow at the rebels again.

But before Deng Qi had time to return, he heard the news: the thief chief "Zijin Liang" was shot in the chest by his own arrow, hurting his heart, and passed away without any medicine or stone.

At first, Deng Qi didn't believe it, so he sent people to Jiyuan to inquire about the news, only to find that the thieves were hesitant and refused to speak clearly, but their expressions seemed sad.

Deng Qi couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately judged that the traitor chief "Zijin Liang" must be gone! If I can take the opportunity to wipe out this group of bandits, I will be promoted to a higher position today.

It turned out that Deng Qi was a veteran general. He joined the army in the early years of Tianqi and gradually accumulated merits before he was given the position of garrison.

When An Bangyan, the chieftain of Xuanfu Division in the Ming Dynasty, rebelled, Deng Qi bravely led the three armies and even once directly chased and killed the thieves to An Bangyan's hometown of Zhijin Nawei in Guizhou, which made him famous.

Later, when the court put down the She'an Rebellion, he made several meritorious deeds and finally killed An Bangyan together with Hou Liangzhu.

Later, because the Qing army entered the pass, Deng Qi led 6,000 people to aid the capital, which also contributed a lot. In the fifth year of Chongzhen, the Denglai Rebellion broke out in Shandong. Deng Qi asked for orders on his own and was ordered by the imperial court to be the chief military officer of the aid and suppression forces to quell the rebellion. Deng Qi therefore received meritorious service and was appointed as the governor and Tongzhi.

It was only because the Denglai incident was over and the rebels were rampant from Hebei to the capital that the imperial court sent him over to help suppress the bandits.

Although Deng Qi had made meritorious deeds several times, he had never made any clean and powerful meritorious deeds. He felt quite unhappy inside and thought it was just bad luck.

This time, when he heard that the rebel leader "Zijin Liang" had died in battle and the rest of the armies were leaderless, he couldn't help but become greedy for success. He could not wait for the notice and joined Zuo Liangyu and Tang Jiuzhou to march together, so he personally led the troops all the way to Jiyuan County.

Deng Qi's men outnumbered the generals. Since he left Sichuan, he has led a total of 6,000 soldiers from Sichuan to Beijing. After fighting against the Qing army and the Denglai rebels, they were quite damaged, but they still had no less than 5,000 men under their command.

Deng Qi had many soldiers and it was quite inconvenient to move. In particular, he used his troops laxly, and many of his troops harassed and plundered places. Every time he was impeached by local officials, fortunately, Wang Yingxiong, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites of his hometown, took care of him and he was exempted.

After going back and forth, Deng Qi also had an idea. He simply divided the soldiers into two groups, one was led by his confidant Yang Yuchun as the vanguard; the other was led by himself and the army was held back.

If another official was impeached, he would blame the matter on his general Yang Yuchun. It not only facilitates Wang Yingxiong, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, to speak, but also prevents him from getting burned.

This time, Deng Qi still used his troops in the same way. In order to give the rebels a thunderous blow, Deng Qi specially gave the vanguard Yang Yuchun 2,000 troops to prepare to defeat the thieves in one fell swoop.

From east to west from Huaiqing Mansion, the terrain is mostly gentle. Taihang is in the north and the Yellow River is in the south. The land is mostly plain farmland.

It's May and the wheat has already headed. It is endless green and full of vitality, giving people endless hope.

This is not only because there are no disasters in Huaiqing Prefecture and other places, but also because Huaiqing Prefecture has established a complex set of irrigation canals with the help of rivers.

The rivers in Huaiqing Prefecture flow from north to south, including the Dan River, Qinshui, Zhulong River and Mang River.

Among them, the Dan River merges into the Qinshui River near Huaiqing Prefecture, and then flows southward into the Yellow River. The Zhulong River is the legendary Jishui, and Jiyuan is named after Jishui originated here.

This Jishui was once one of the four rivers of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, among which the river is the Yangtze River, the Huai is the Huaihe River, the river is the Yellow River, and the Ji is the Jishui.

Modern people may wonder why a small Jishui River dares to be called the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, and the Huaihe River. Because a long time ago, the Jishui River flowed eastward into the sea. Although it was slightly inferior to the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, it was as good as the Huaihe River.

It’s just that the Jishui river channel was similar to the Yellow River channel at first. After the Yellow River flooded many times, the lower reaches of the river were completely taken over by the Yellow River, and Jishui degenerated into an inconspicuous tributary on the thousands-mile Yellow River’s path to the sea.

Yang Yuchun, who served under Deng Qi, was a military general with a low level of education. How could he know such historical allusions.

He just followed Deng Qi's order and led his two thousand soldiers all the way west, crossing the Qinshui River and the Zhulong River respectively, and went straight to Jiyuan.

Since the Mang River flows out of Jiyuan County, when Yang Yuchun approached the vicinity of Jiyuan, he had already started marching westward along the Mang River.

The military discipline of Deng Qi's army was really worrying. Yang Yuchun led the army without caring about roads and farmland, and trampled all the way.

Many of the wheat that had already headed were trampled directly to the ground by them. This wheat is most afraid of falling over. Once it falls over, it will seriously affect the wheat yield.

Many of the rebels were from poor frontier soldiers in Shaanxi, and most of them relied on millet, or millet, as their main crops. Although I don’t know much about the habits of wheat, I can’t see these people wasting food so much.

The rebels who came from Huaiqing Mansion and Mengjin were even more indignant and wanted to eat their flesh and sleep on their skin.

It turns out that Zhang Shun had already known that the news of the death of the second boss "Zijin Liang" was difficult to block, so he simply told the truth to lure Deng Qi. And he had already laid an ambush secretly, waiting for Deng Qi's army to arrive.

Deng Qi had already set up spies and scouts on his way to and from Jiyuan, so Zhang Shun already knew about Yang Yuchun and Deng Qi's actions.

As the saying goes, "The general is the soul of the army." Deng Qi always despised the rebel army and was greedy for success. Yang Yuchun was similar to him and had the same thoughts.

Deng Qi never imagined that Yang Yuchun had already left early before his preparations were completed. Before Deng Qi could catch up, Yang Yuchun had already rushed towards Jiyuan.

The two of them spent a lot of time crossing the river and building a bridge along the way. By the time Yang Yuchun arrived in front of Jiyuan, he had already pulled Deng Qi far behind.

Zhang Shun couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that the officers and soldiers were out of touch. Only the sound of a cannon was heard, and two waves of rebels appeared in front and to the right of Yang Yuchun.

The enemy in front of him was Zhang Shun's troops; and to his right, to the north, appeared the camp of "Chuang Jiang".

Yang Yuchun was not afraid, and quickly formed a formation by the river, dividing it into two groups. One is against Zhang Shun's troops, and the other is against Chuangying.

Zhang Shun had more than 3,000 men under his command, and the "general" Huang Lai'er also had two to three thousand soldiers and horses.

Yang Yuchun was so arrogant when he was fighting one against three, which opened Zhang Shun's eyes. He couldn't help but smile at Zhang Shenyan and said, "This generation is nothing to be afraid of!"

There is still a chapter today. The author has been researching it for a long time, but still doesn’t understand the rivers in Hanoi. Especially Zhulong River and Mang River, I don’t know if it’s right or not. If there are any readers nearby, please let us know. Especially for a famous historical river like Jishui, the author is really drunk because he can't find reliable information. It took me two days of checking yesterday and today to find out this bit of information that I don’t know is true or false. It’s really uncomfortable.
