Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 110 Lianchengbi

His Royal Highness rode his horse into the city, followed by Ma Zuori, the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei, followed by a group of Jin Yiwei and Mongolian cavalry.The city gate has long been under the control of the Ming army, and the soldiers of the 103rd regiment have set up firepower points on the city wall. Haiyang has actually fallen into the hands of Bai Mingxiu.

After entering the city, Bai Mingxiu saw layers of barricades against horses, and the man-made barricades made it difficult for the men and horses riding the Second Division to break into the restricted area. In the barricades, the Qing army shot outwards with shotguns and bows and arrows.Because the soldiers of the 103rd regiment were controlling the city wall and had not flooded into the city in large numbers, the men and horses of the second cavalry division directly bypassed this defensive area.

In addition to Bai Mingxiu's National Restoration Army soldiers, there were also a group of righteous men who fought against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty.When Li Dingguo attacked Guangdong many times, he was supported by a large number of anti-Qing forces. Although they were small in scale and not considered a regular army, they often played a role in many places.

In the city, Bai Mingxiu also met a man with official status.

"Lianchengbi, a lowly position, see His Royal Highness the Prince."

When this middle-aged man named Lian Chengbi saw Bai Mingxiu, he burst into tears and knelt down at Bai Mingxiu's feet, weeping with joy.

Bai Mingxiu also has a lot of respect for this person. Lian Chengbi is the person who was permanently appointed Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi by his cheap father. Although he has never set up a government office, and has never really managed Guangdong and Guangxi, he is mainly responsible for contacting various places during the war. The rebel army can be regarded as the greatest contributor.

When he single-handedly summoned the bandit Wang Xing to be an anti-Qing rebel army, Tong Yangjia tempted Wang Xing to present the official seal of Lian Chengbi with a lot of money. Wang Xing talked to Lian Chengbi. into the stomach.Wang Xing and his soldiers cried loudly, saying: Guangdong is easy to get, but this seal is rare.

Later, Guangdong fell completely, and Wang Xing was besieged by the Qing army. After the soldiers were sent away with gold and silver, Wang Xing and his family set themselves on fire.Liancheng Bi cried loudly upon hearing this.After that, Shang Kexi, Li Shuitai and others all recruited Lianchengbi as an official, and Lianchengbi hid in the mountains, preferring to die rather than surrender.

When Bai Mingxiu entered Guangzhou, he didn't know that Lian Chengbi was in the mountains. It was only later that people said that the crown prince took control of Guangdong, and the great cause of Ming's recovery was expected.So Lian Chengbi relied on his contacts to contact anti-Qing people, and at the same time sneaked into Chaozhou Prefecture, hoping to encourage the rebels to take the city and dedicate it to the prince.

Bai Mingxiu personally lifted Lian Cheng Bi up and said emotionally: "Rubai Gong (Ru Bai is the Chinese character for Lian Cheng Bi), your heart can be judged by the sun and the moon. I am also deeply grateful. Even after decades of wasted time, you still have not forgotten your loyalty. Your Majesty." Live up to Ming, and Ming should not be ashamed of Qing. Feng Ru Baigong was named Marquis of Haiyang, and he was added as the crown prince and Taifu."

Liancheng Bi, however, knelt down and said, "Your Highness, a humble minister has failed to achieve even an inch of merit. How can I dare to accept the title of a marquis?"

Bai Mingxiu said softly: "Why don't you dare? Those who surrendered and betrayed the country for glory, one by one, they can be named second-class princes and first-class sons among the Tartars, such as Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi, and Wu Sangui. , can still be crowned king, why can't a loyal minister like Bai Gong who has been loyal to the country for decades and would rather hide in the mountains than go far to the Qing Dynasty not receive a title? This title is like Bai Gong, you inherit it, not only you are yours Marquis Haiyang, your descendants will also be hereditary, and I, Da Ming, take pride in loyalty and diligence, and your descendants will be honored by your loyalty and devotion for generations to come."

Lian Chengbi was so grateful that she was speechless.

In fact, Bai Mingxiu established a new imperial court and has completely improved the system of titles into a set of honors. First of all, no matter whether hereditary or not, only the first generation of titles enjoys a lifetime salary, which is actually an increased pension. With the system of honor and support, even if the descendants inherit the title, they cannot receive a penny from the state.Unless there are special arrangements, or they are martyrs, their children and grandchildren cannot enjoy preferential policies for schooling and employment.

In addition, all titles do not have fiefdoms, and the only thing that can be passed down is the title title.But in fact, for Chinese people, having a title on their head is already a matter of face.

Bai Mingxiu comforted Lian Chengbi, and Lian Chengbi led Bai Mingxiu to the barricade, pointed to one of the tall men, and said, "Your Highness, that is Wu Liuqi, the left commander of the Qing army. Surrendered to the Tartars with Su Li, quite courageous."

Then Wu Liuqi was within sight, Bai Mingxiu probably picked up a No. [-] rifle and killed him, but Bai Mingxiu wanted to see Ma Zouri's performance even more.

"Take him down, Deputy Commander Ma." Bai Mingxiu explained.

I saw Ma Zouri leading a number of Jinyiwei, but the Jinyiwei was holding the Thompson submachine gun used by the earliest guard company.The brocade guards were armed with guns, and the resisting Qing army was cut open.Most of these Qing troops were regiments organized by Wu Liuqi, and he took care of everything from salary raising to training.

After a few brisk steps, the horse directly passed the repelling horses set up by the Qing army, and jumped into the barricade. The Qing army was shocked and resisted one after another, but the horse stretched out its arms very vigorously, and drew a knife to meet the attack. Bai Mingxiu was surprised to see it.

Wu Liuqi yelled angrily: "Thief, take your life." The traitor raised his big knife and rushed forward.

Ma Zouri was holding the Xiuchun knife but it was not out of its sheath, and he pinched his fingers like a seal. Bai Mingxiu saw that her fingers shot out a vigor that was visible to the naked eye, like a sword, hitting the traitor Wu Liuqi's big knife, Wu Liuqi hit the ground with his sword.

Bai Mingxiu spat: "What Dugu Nine Swords is this? This is clearly the Six Meridians Excalibur, okay?"

Ma Zouri slapped Wu Liuqi's chest as if it was soft and weak, Wu Liuqi spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, his face like gold paper.

The deputy commander of Jin Yiwei came over and said to His Royal Highness: "It's wrong, Your Highness, this fingering is the Murong family's Shenhe finger, but it is not the Six Meridians Sword. However, the humble job is to refer to the sword to make Dugu Jiujian. The trick is the broken knife style."

Bai Mingxiu said sourly: "Anyway, I don't know martial arts, so whatever you say is what you say, and I can't refute you when you say you used the Tianzi sword technique."

Ma Zouri responded lightly: "That kind of mythical martial arts that destroys heaven and earth can't be used by a lowly position."

No matter what, Bai Mingxiu still thinks that being able to use martial arts is very handsome.Although, he is more aware that no matter how good the martial arts are, an M1 paper-shell trigger gun produced on the factory assembly line can kill Ma Zouri, a super master who is proficient in all Jin Yong's martial arts, it can be said that it is really impossible Not romantic anymore.

But this is the reality, and it is actually the reality that Bai Mingxiu likes very much.

Wu Liuqi was beaten to death by Ma Zuori's palm, and the resistance in Haiyang County gradually subsided. The Ming army occupied other Chaozhou counties successively in the following two days, and Bai Mingxiu finally controlled the entire territory of Guangdong.
