Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 127 Qin Liangyu, the White Soldier

The army rested in Changsha City for five days. When the heavy snow stopped, Li Cunming immediately urged the army to go west.It will take some time for Shi Kefa to come to Changsha to take office, so Li Cunming ordered Gong Yonggu to take over military affairs in Huguang area temporarily.

Depart from Changsha, go north to Changde Mansion, then pass through Kuizhou, and come to Shizhu Xuanfu Division.

The chief of the Shizhu area was named Xuanweishi, commonly known as the chieftain.

After Qin Liangyu's husband Ma Qiancheng died, because his son Ma Xianglin was young, Qin Liangyu took over the post of husband.Later, Ma Xianglin died in battle in Xiangyang, and Qin Liangyu has been serving as the consolation envoy of Shizhu until now.

In the revision of history in all dynasties, female celebrities have been recorded in the biographies of women, and Qin Liangyu is the only heroine in history who, as a famous general of a dynasty, has been biographed independently and recorded in the biographies of official history.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Qin Liangyu is the Hua Mulan of the Ming Dynasty!
Qin Liangyu led the army out of the city for thirty miles to meet the emperor.Seeing Qin Liangyu, Li Cunming hurriedly jumped off the luanjia, before Qin Liangyu knelt down and kowtowed to salute, he bowed first.

Qin Liangyu said sincerely and fearfully: "Your Majesty, how can I stand up to such a big ceremony, I will beat you!"

Li Cunming smiled and said: "General Qin is the heroine of our dynasty, and his reputation spread far and wide. In the third year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji invaded the capital. You were ordered to be King Qin, and I summoned you in Yuntai. More than ten years have passed, and General Qin has grown stronger and stronger. , has been protecting the southwest frontier for me, I am grateful!"

At this time, Qin Liangyu was 70 years old, with gray hair, the weather-beaten years on his face, and his body was a little bent.

Qin Liangyu said: "I still remember that year when I met Your Majesty, Your Majesty bestowed four poems on me, I dare not forget His Majesty's kindness for a moment!"

Li Cunming said: "The robes of the Shu Brocade were made by ourselves, and the peach blossoms immediately asked for long tassels. There are so many strange men in the world, who is willing to travel thousands of miles in the battlefield."

"I also remember the poem I wrote to the general. The past is vivid in my mind. I don't want to say goodbye for many years. The general is more than a few years old, and I have reached the age of [-]. Anyway, now we meet again, and I will fight the enemy with the general. Isn’t it wonderful!”

"As long as Your Majesty does not dislike your old age, I will still be able to gallop on the battlefield and fight the enemy bravely!" Qin Liangyu was full of pride, as if she had returned to her youthful days, her words were moving.

Li Cunming turned his head to look at Chen Yuanyuan, and said, "Did you see that there are heroes among the female generation in my Ming Dynasty! Let me tell you, women hold up half the sky, no one should underestimate them."

These words touched Qin Liangyu's heart, and she laughed out loud.Chen Yuanyuan's eyes also brightened, deeply encouraged.

Entering Shizhu City, Qin Liangyu set up a sumptuous banquet to welcome the emperor.

Li Cunming drank a few glasses of wine and said with a smile: "General Qin, I heard that Zhang Xianzhong was most afraid of you in his life. After he entered Sichuan, he attacked cities and occupied land everywhere, but he didn't dare to come to Shizhu to harass him. Is there such a thing?"

"It's an exaggeration. Zhang Xianzhong once attacked the Shizhu area, but he was repelled by the army led by the minister. The Daxi Army still has its advantages, especially in the 13th year of Chongzhen. Zhang Xianzhong conquered Chongqing, and the [-] white soldiers under his command It was completely lost in this battle, and it has not recovered for so many years."

"I remember that there was a young general in white robes in Zhang Xianzhong's army, named Zhang Yu'er, who was extremely brave, and shot the old general Zhang Ling to death with one arrow. Later, I found out that Zhang Yu'er was actually Li Dingguo, and he has become famous all these years."

Li Cunming nodded and said, "I've also heard about Li Dingguo's name, and it's like a thunderbolt. I didn't expect General Qin to have fought against him long ago. I came here for Li Dingguo this time, and I have to subdue him to serve our court!"

Qin Liangyu said: "Your Majesty's love for talents is admirable. If you can conquer Li Dingguo, it will be like Liu Bei getting Zhao Zilong!"

Li Cunming laughed loudly: "Sooner or later, I will recruit all the heroes in the world to use for me! General Qin, your white soldiers are also famous, take me to see them."

Qin Liangyu got up to lead the way and reported: "After 13 years of Chongzhen, the minister has worked hard and trained another elite division. Unfortunately, there are only more than [-] people, and the area guarding Shizhu is already stretched out. It is difficult to make any great achievements."

"Why should the old general underestimate himself? There are not many soldiers but good ones." Li Cunming said.

When we arrived at the school grounds, eight thousand soldiers lined up.The military appearance is clean and the morale is strong, which is not comparable to that of ordinary local troops.

The biggest feature of this army is that they hold strange weapons in their hands.The soldiers hold white guns, which are about 3 meters long. The gun shafts are made of solid white wood (white ash tree) and do not need to be painted and dyed. This is the origin of the name Baiganbing.

The white spear is equipped with a hook with a blade and a hard iron ring under it. In combat, the hook can be cut and pulled, and the ring can be used as a hammer weapon.

Qin Liangyu introduced: "Your Majesty, the white spear was invented by my husband. It is most suitable for fighting in the mountains. When encountering steep terrain, dozens of long spears can be used as tools for climbing walls. It can be climbed in an instant."

As he spoke, he ordered dozens of soldiers to demonstrate.

The spears in the hands of the soldiers were connected end to end, and the hook blade at the top of the spear was inserted into the soil to form a wooden rope that could be climbed up and down.

Li Cunming said in admiration: "One side's water and soil support one side's people, and the troops cultivated in different regions also have their own characteristics. This is the wisdom of the common people and soldiers! Very good, with the white soldiers, we will win the Western Expedition this time. I'm holding it."

Immediately ordered to reward Qin Liangyu's army, each soldier received a reward of ten taels of silver, and the officers each received 30 taels of silver.

Li Cunming said loudly: "It has been said since ancient times that there is no army without Sichuan. Sichuan soldiers are all passionate men! A few years ago I was short of money and wronged you. Anyone who goes to battle to kill the enemy will suffer a little bit of grievance!"

"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor!" The white soldiers shouted in unison.

With tears in her eyes, Qin Liangyu thought to herself: "The imperial court is much stronger than before, and the emperor has changed a lot. There is hope for the revival of my Ming Dynasty!"

In the evening, Li Cunming and Qin Liangyu discussed the marching route in the study.Li Cunming said: "General Qin, you have been in Shu for many years and you are familiar with geography, so let you be the vanguard. The general is in charge of matters in the army."

Qin Liangyu was very moved, and said: "Your Majesty trusts me so much, how dare I not do my best! The Manchu Tartars came from thousands of miles away, and the soil and water are not acclimated. Most of the people occupying Chongqing are soldiers from the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty. It is the cold winter season again, we can A quick march and a sneak attack caught him off guard."

"To capture Chongqing, you must first capture Erlang Pass. After passing Erlang Pass, you must take Fotu Pass in one fell swoop. Fotu Pass is the gateway to the north of Chongqing. Fotu Pass has been occupied since ancient times. There is no example of being unable to conquer Chongqing. !"

Li Cunming looked at the map, pondered for a while and said: "Since we want to launch a sneak attack, we can only send out surprise soldiers to move lightly and quickly. The soldiers are very fast. I happen to have a new army here who is good at long-distance raids. Let the general lead them to lead the battle. Let the army adjourn."

After making a plan, Li Cunming called Qi Dazhuang and told him: "Qi Dazhuang, you lead [-] new troops to follow General Qin to raid Chongqing, and follow General Qin's command in all actions, and don't make arbitrary decisions."

The next day, Qin Liangyu led [-] white-armed soldiers, and Qi Dazhuang led [-] new troops, left Shizhu quickly, and rushed to Chongqing.
