Chapter 238 Xiaozhan Bailian

When Yuan Ke was appointed governor of Denglai, he trained troops in front of Wangxuzhai. But that was during the Tianqi years.

When the Manchu and Tatar forces began to rise, Yuan Keli wrote a letter stating that the Prime Minister had various troops fighting each other by land and water, and he also instigated the son-in-law of the wild boar Pinurhaci to retake southern Liaoning.

This was a famous official. When the Manchu Literary Prison was launched, he was listed with Yue Wumu as a first-class banner, and his writing was banned and his reputation was ruined.

Twenty years later, Duke Yuan has passed away, and the former Wangxuzhai stronghold has long been destroyed. Even Dongliang Haikou, where the navy was once trained, is now only stationed with a defeated army.

However, when Ying Yi led his army to the front post of Wangxuzhai, he found that there were actually many people entrenched in the front post of Wangxuzhai that was supposed to be destroyed.

"Maybe the common people?"

Wang Yisheng said this.

Ying Yi stood on the slope, the blood-red cloak behind him hunting in the wind. He leaned on the knife and shook his head lightly: "They must not be ordinary people. Look at the stronghold wall. There are cannons on the top of the wall, soldiers on the wall, and the people coming in and out are regular. How about that?" Is it the common people?”

"Could it be the Ming army?" Wang Yisheng's eyesight was not as good as that of Ying Yi and he couldn't see clearly. He said, "Maybe the Ming army has been stationed here recently."

The distribution of Ming army forces in Dengzhou and Laizhou was clearly known by Ying Yi through the Jinyi Guards. Wangxuzhai has long been abandoned and it is impossible to station the Ming army.

"It's not the Ming army." Ying Yi shook his head.

Wang Yisheng couldn't see clearly. How could he not see clearly? The people in and out of Wangxuzhai's village did not have a clear military atmosphere, and no flags were raised on the walls. If they were Ming troops, they would definitely not be able to do so.

"Find someone to dress up and go take a look." Ying Yi said.

"Here."

Wang Yisheng took a few personal guards and went out in person. After dressing up in disguise, he rushed to the front of Wangxuzhai. Ying Yi looked at it and shook his head. These personal guards of his are all extremely tough and full of energy, and no matter how much they disguise themselves, they can't hide it.

However, Ying Yi is not worried. They are all powerful warriors. If he goes nearby to take a look, he will most likely be able to escape even if he is surrounded. Besides, his 6,000 soldiers and horses are not just for free.

Sure enough, after looking for a while, he saw a chaos under Wang Xu's stronghold.

Ying Yi waved his hand, and the golden-armored guards behind him swarmed over the hillside and quickly formed a formation to greet him.

A few miles passed in a blink of an eye, and Wang Yisheng and others were seen to have thrown away the soldiers of Wang Xuzhai and came towards them.

"Lord."

Wang Yisheng said: "It's not the Ming army."

Ying Yi waved his hand: "I already know it."

"The white lotus gave birth to the baby, Yuan Zun first broke into the world, the old mother has no life, the empty hometown..."

Countless men and horses rushed out of Wangxuzhai's village like a torrent. At first, they were somewhat organized, but after a while, they became a mass, shouting "No life mother, empty hometown", and rushed over fearlessly.

At the same time, there was a loud explosion on the wall, and someone fired a cannon.

Ying Yi's expression was cold: "It's the White Lotus Sect."

Then he waved his hand: "Kill them."

Ying Yi didn't like the White Lotus Sect, which relied on rebellion at all. Some people say that careerists use the teachings of the White Lotus Sect to deceive the people into rebelling, but the people are innocent. But a cult is a cult, and once it becomes big, the harm it can do can be imagined.

Thinking about the terrorists in the era before Ying Yi traveled through time, it was probably like this.

For evil cults, there is only one way out, and that is to eradicate them.

Facing the White Lotus cultists rushing in like a tide, Wang Yisheng and others did not panic at all. The artillery array was set up first, and then the gun array was arranged. Amidst the thunder and thunder, hundreds of tiger cannons unleashed their power. In just an instant, they tore the White Lotus Sect's rebel army to pieces.

Then the gun soldiers came forward and launched a series of cannon attacks. In just three rounds, they defeated all the White Lotus Sect rebels.

The spearmen charged in formation, like herding sheep, driving the White Lotus Sect's defeated troops towards Wangxuzhai.

The several artillery pieces on the wall of Wangxuzhai Village were clearly fired at random. Previously, Ying Yi's troops fired artillery while they were still out of range, and all of them hit their own people.

This kind of rabble among the rabble, Ying Yi has no interest in using the knife at all. He held the knife, followed by several guards leading the horses, and followed slowly.

There was a loud rumble from the front. It turned out that the wall of Wangxuzhai had collapsed. The soldiers swarmed in and fought their way in. By the time Ying Yi entered Wangxuzhai, the battle was settled.

There is absolutely nothing worth writing about.

Then Wang Yisheng came to report: "Wangxu Village is backed by the sea. Thousands of White Lotus Sect diehards have crossed the sea. Kill the rest."

Ying Yi nodded noncommittally: "The Ming Dynasty abandoned Wangxuzhai, but they didn't expect the White Lotus Sect to take root here. I also forgot that Shandong is an area seriously affected by the White Lotus Sect."

During the Ming Dynasty, the White Lotus Sect rebelled many times, and Shandong was the hardest hit area.

It is said that Yuan Keli encountered the White Lotus Rebellion on his way to serve as the governor of Denglai. At the age of sixty, he even charged in armor and defeated the White Lotus Religion.

Troubled times are the hauntings of the common people, but they are also a breeding ground for demons and monsters. The more chaotic the world becomes, the more rampant these chaotic cults will become.

The White Lotus Sect's occupation of Wangxuzhai was not beyond Ying Yi's expectations.

"Let the soldiers rest for a while." Ying Yi raised his head and looked at the sky: "In half an hour, when the sun sets, we will send troops to Dongliang Haikou."

"Here!"

...

On the loess road, several horses swept across, and smoke and dust billowed. The leader showed half of his face, and his face was rough, but he looked young, probably in his twenties. This man was wearing an inconspicuous gray robe, with a tight turban on his head, and his attire was quite strange.

There are several riders behind this person, all of them have bright eyes and strong muscles.

A group of riders stopped in front of a small forest. The man wrapped in a white scarf took out a roll of map from his arms and looked at it carefully: "Ahead is Wangxuzhai."

Then he said to a few people around him: "It's getting dark soon. I hope I can catch up."

Those people were expressionless and silent.

The person wearing the scarf didn't feel dissatisfied, it had been like this all along the way, and he was used to it.

Then he put away the map and said, "Brothers, let me have a moment." Then he went into the woods.

When this man entered the forest, the others had nothing to say.

Then someone said: "I'm afraid this traitor thinks that everything is done."

"When I see my lord, it will probably be the time when his soul returns to the underworld. Master Sun taught me that sending him here is nothing more than sending a message to my lord."

When the man came out, the others returned to their cold state.

The front post of Wangxuzhai arrived soon.

Seeing the large scroll with the word Ying erected on the wall of the village from a distance, the group of people breathed a sigh of relief.

"Just in time." It was clear that the army outside the stronghold had begun to gather. If it had been a little later, I might have missed it.

"Lord Ying is indeed an elite soldier and a strong general." The scarf-wrapped man sighed: "Half a month spans two thousand miles, which is only slightly worse than our emperor's elite army."

The tough men showed a hint of disdain when they heard this, and one of them stepped forward and grabbed the shoulder of the scarf-wrapped man: "Let's go to see the lord."

The man wrapped in the scarf was startled and struggled for a while, but he couldn't get rid of it. He couldn't help but feel that something was wrong, but after all, the person he wanted to see was right in front of him, so he took a deep breath, half-pushed and half-closed, and arrived at the foot of the village.
