Chapter 40: Wendeng Rui died against the world
When Wang Zheng said this, he noticed that a group of civil servants, including the governor Dong Chengping and the governor Liu Wenruo, were wiping the cold sweat secretly. Some people looked pale, their lips kept trembling, and their bodies were shaking like sieve. It was obvious that these civil servants were very scared.
The attack of the water bandits and the people was very fierce just now. If Wang Zheng had not arrived in time with the new soldiers from Wendeng Camp, the Ninghai Prefecture Office would have been lost.
The State Council Yamen is a symbol of the state city. Once it is lost here, it means the real fall of Ninghaizhou. Otherwise, it means there is still a glimmer of hope.
Although the water bandits have been temporarily repelled, it is still not a time to be careless. We need to take advantage of the chaos to contact the remaining officers and soldiers in the city to regain the city, otherwise the water bandits will definitely discover the real situation and may return at any time.
At that time, the water bandits and refugees will stop the counterattack. The two hundred new recruits brought by Wang Zheng will face the groups of water bandits and refugees. The outcome is still unknown.
In addition to these civil servants, there were dozens of servants and servants in the prefecture yamen. At this time, more than a dozen people had already been crowned. It is said that it was because they did not retreat in time just now.
But these people cannot play any role. Most of them use iron rulers and wooden sticks as weapons, and they are not wearing armor. This kind of blunt weapon is quite useful in scaring the people, but taking it on the battlefield at this time is tantamount to seeking death.
Wang Zheng said a few words of relief, but didn't say much, but asked these people to guard the backyard and arranged for the new recruits in Wendeng Camp to take over the defense of the State Office.
Although the sparrows in the prefecture yamen are small, they are all complete, three squads and six cottages are all important, the official room, the official room, the official room, etc., but now the Wang Zheng can no longer distribute more troops, and it is also difficult to let these servants guard the guards.
In Wang Zheng's opinion, the most important thing now is to regain the city of Zhou, but the State Council cannot ignore it, so Wang Zheng ordered Huang Yang to lead two teams, with about a hundred new recruits to defend the State Council of Zhou.
He took Dong Youyin, Deng Heizi and the other two teams to guard the mansion. If the officers and soldiers were still resisting, there was undoubtedly the greatest possibility.
Seeing that Wang Zheng was leaving, the co-master Liu Wenruo stepped forward tremblingly and said, "Sweeper...Sweeper Wang, please stay."
But Wang Zheng ignored Liu Wenruo. Now he was racing against time. If he delayed one more minute, the greater the possibility of a water bandit making a comeback. He just brought new recruits out of the yamen.
Huang Yang was ordered to take the initiative, so he naturally knew the current dangerous situation and did not talk nonsense to Liu Wenruo.
In the fearful eyes of a group of civil servants, he led two teams of recruits to come and go, transporting any useful things such as wooden boards, and setting up a simple line of defense in the front yard and the gate.
The guard Han Dahu was in a hurry to go around the mansion at this moment. Wu Weizhong brought him good news. The water bandits and refugees who were attacking the mansion had all withdrawn. This surprised Han Dahu and seemed very happy.
Later, he heard that Wang Zheng arrived with reinforcements. When Wu Weizhong praised Wang Zheng, Han Dahu became even more curious about Wang Zheng and personally took people out of the mansion to greet him.
"Wang Zheng! I thought you escaped at the last minute!"
Gao Shan laughed and patted Wang Zheng on the shoulder. The two of them hugged each other tightly like a pair of good brothers who had not seen each other for many years.
Wu Weizhong looked at Wang Zheng with a smile and said, "Wang Zheng, you'll be fine if you come back. This is the guardian of our province."
Following Wu Weizhong's eyes, Wang Zheng indeed saw the garrison officer Han Dahu. As his name was, Han Dahu was rough and bold, about the same size as Gao Shan and Dong Youyin, with thick calluses on his hands. He was a man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist.
Han Dahu looked anxious and didn't bother to exchange many greetings. He asked straight to the point: "You are the Wang Zheng mentioned by Wu Xietai Chang and I, what about the State Council's yamen? But it has fallen?"
"Not yet, Bei Zhi arrived in time and repelled the water bandits!"
Han Dahu nodded, obviously breathing a sigh of relief.
"Hahaha, it's good that the State Department has been kept, otherwise it will be a serious crime for you and yourselves!"
"Shourong, how many officers and soldiers can be summoned in the city now?"
Hearing Wang Zheng’s question, Han Dahu thought carefully for a while and said, “In addition to the maintenance troops in the mansion, there must be thousands of reinforcements from Dengzhou scattered everywhere in the city. In addition, there are nearly a thousand soldiers from Wendeng Camp, so it is not a problem to gather 10,000 people!”
Wang Zheng nodded and clasped his fists and said, "Shourong, the bandits are running around and fleeing in the city. The foundation in the city is not stable. It is a good time to regain the city in one fell swoop. Bei Zhiyi is willing to lead the new recruits in the headquarters to take the lead and kill the bandits!"
Han Dahu was so excited when Wang Zheng said that, he slapped his legs and shouted: "Okay! I heard from the Shourong that Grandpa Qi said that it was Wendeng Camp, an important town in Qidong. Now it seems that Wendeng Camp is worthy of its name!"
Wu Weizhong also laughed and said, "Shourong praised him."
Speaking of which, Wu Weizhong, the battalion officer of Wendeng Camp, was the general of the general, serving the border defense and coastal defense of the various guards in Jiaodong. The title was one level higher than that of Han Dahu, the garrison in Ninghaizhou. However, Han Dahu was a garrison in Zhili Prefecture and had a great power. The two could no longer talk about their subordinate relationship, but they just used respectful titles to express their respect to each other.
Wang Zheng led a mere 200 people to wipe out thousands of water bandits. At first they all thought the water bandits were soft persimmons, but unexpectedly, Jinshuihe suffered a crushing defeat, and thousands of officers and soldiers fled in scattered.
Han Dahu and others understood the power of the water bandits, and invisibly admired Wang Zheng even more, let alone everyone could see it.
The recruits following Wang Zheng had bloody heads hanging around their waists, and they stood up straight, all of them were full of sharpness. They were not the recruits, they were obviously about one hundred servants.
After a while, even the garrison officer Han Dahu no longer regarded Wang Zheng as an ordinary sentry officer and attached great importance to Wang Zheng's opinions.
When Wang Zheng spoke firmly, Han Dahu and Wu Weizhong looked at each other, and when they saw Wu Weizhong nodding, they gritted their teeth and issued an order.
Neither the garrison mansion nor the prefecture yamen had fallen, which also allowed the remaining officers and soldiers in the city to see hope. The officers and soldiers following Han Dahu gradually gathered into thousands.
The remnants and defeated generals were best at fighting the wind. At this time, they all seemed particularly brave. The water bandits were panicked and believed that the reinforcements arrived. They were soon driven out of the city.
......
After climbing over the mountain, the fleeing water bandits and the rioters suddenly became clear. Baitiao, the waves were carrying the elite water bandits here to wait for their labor.
Looking from the mountain bag, Ninghaizhou City was filled with smoke. Two doors were opened and were about to be captured by themselves. What Baitiao, the Langli, is waiting for news that the prefecture yamen and the garrison mansion were captured.
But what he was waiting for was a group of defeated soldiers. With a command, the sword flashed and blood suddenly appeared.
Langli Baitiao didn't even ask why he was defeated, but directly ordered the military and legal team to step forward and stop him with force, so that he could barely stabilize his position.
The good times did not last long, and a larger group of defeated soldiers came over. These defeated soldiers were all water bandits from various water camps. The white sticks in the waves had to give them face, so it was difficult to start directly.
After hesitating for a while, the military and legal team was directly dispersed by the rushing defeated soldiers. Only then did Baitiao understand what the defeated soldiers were calling.
"There are ambushing, and the officers and soldiers are ambushing in the city!"
"Reinforcements are here, run away!"
At that moment, Baitiao was also full of shock. When he saw the officers and soldiers who had reached the city gate, his mouth twitched.
