Liu Yanzhi heard the cry of killing from the Song Army brigade, and he was relieved. Quanzhou cannot be occupied by the strength of the three of them. If Zhang Shijie is a villain and deliberately stays still and kills with a knife, then he has to go back and kill Zhang Shijie. Fortunately, Zhang Shijie chose Dayi at the last moment.
"You two are guarding the big flag." Liu Yanzhi handed the battle flag to Liu Handong and Chen Diaoyan to guard. As soon as he stepped down the city wall, the soldiers guarding the city gate dispersed, making him very puzzled. Is it so easy to give up on such an important place? After a closer look, I realized that the city gate cave is full of bricks and stones. Pu Shougeng planned to defend Quanzhou firmly and sealed all four gates so that people outside could not enter. The people inside cannot get out either.
Nothing happened, Liu Yanzhi could only return to the city head again. The three of them used this flag as the center to repel the Yuan army’s offensive again and again. The Song army under the city fired all arrows, climbed up the ladder, and climbed the city bravely. The warrior climbed up and occupied the ten-foot-long wall, covering the brothers to continue their ascent.
Under the city, Zhang Shijie swung his sword and roared: "Kill into Quanzhou, Zhu Pu Gengshou Nine Clan!"
More and more Song troops landed on Quanzhou City like ants. The Yuan Army could not support it, retreating steadily, and retreated along the horse track. Suddenly, there was a rainstorm of horseshoes on the street, and a team of elite knights killed them. All of them are wearing chain mail, holding big scimitars, high noses and concave eyes, and foreign appearance. They are the guards of the Pu family and the strongest fighter in Quanzhou.
The returning cavalry swung a scimitar and slashed, slashing all the soldiers who were in the way, and riding their horses towards the wall, trying to drive the Song army down the city. The battle has reached this point and it has reached an extremely critical juncture. Pu Shougeng spared all his family resources, but the cavalry was not used in this way. The strong, high-headed horse should gallop on the vast grassland instead of fighting the infantry on the narrow wall.
As the Southern Army, the Song Army fought against the Golden Army, which had the advantage of cavalry. The Mongolian Army had fought for hundreds of years and accumulated countless experience in dealing with the cavalry. The Arab cavalry’s counterattack did not disturb them, but calmly lifted it up. Spears, swinging axes, stabbing knights up, and cutting horse legs down. The iron floating figure of Jinwushu was defeated in Zhuxian Town by this trick, not to mention Pu Gengshou's returning cavalry.
People shouted that the horses ran into chaos, and the cavalry squeezed into a ball, unable to show the characteristics of strong mobility. They were brought down one by one, with spears inserted in the belly of the horses, the legs of the horses were cut off forcibly, and the knights were downed. He couldn't move, and watched the sword and axe add himself.
More and more Song troops climbed up to the city’s head, and more Yuan troops came from three sides trying to drive them down. Yuan troops continued to come in the city. The battle became stalemate. Both sides were fighting hard and fighting for every inch. City wall.
Zhang Shijie finally couldn't help it. Pushing away the soldiers who were struggling to stop, they climbed the ladder to command the battle. The soldiers could only hold the shield to protect the marshal ascended the city. After a while, Zhang Shijie and his handsome flag appeared at the head of Quanzhou city. , The soldiers who participated in the battle were all navy soldiers. The marshal's presence on the battlefield inspires them. One can imagine the cheers and the morale.
The overall situation has been determined. Liu Yan threw the hacked knife straight away, found a clean place to sit down, and said with emotion: "If there is a cigarette now, it would be beautiful."
Chen Diaoyan asked, "Master, what is smoke?"
Liu Yan said straightforwardly: "It's a kind of grass leaf that came from South America. It was dried and rolled into a roll, and I lighted it and took a sip. It's refreshing."
Chen Diao shook his head ignorantly, having never heard of this stuff.
Liu Yan said straightforwardly: "It's okay. When the Philippines is captured, we will plant tens of thousands of acres of tobacco on the island. We will produce cigars by ourselves and we will smoke enough."
Liu Handong smiled, and took out a pack of crumpled cigarettes from his arms: "I haven't been willing to smoke..."
Before he could finish his words, Liu Yan straightly chopped his hand over. There were still seven or eight cigarettes in the cigarette case. Three cigarettes were taken out to light them, and one was given to each of the two generals. Chen Diaoyan did not enjoy the blessing to enjoy the cigarettes. It was uncomfortable to hold back the cough and make his face flushed, and not want to lose his appearance in front of the Taishi.
Suddenly in the distance, black smoke burst into the sky. Liu Yan asked directly what it was. Chen Diaoyan said that it was Pu Shougeng's house.
"No, Pu Shougeng jumped over the wall in a hurry to burn his property!" Liu Yan jumped up, "You two quickly go back and bring your army into the city. Seal the mansion and the house with the seal of the temple department. Don't let the chaos ."
...
This was a tragic city street battle. Every corner of Quanzhou City was fighting. The Song Army and the Yuan Army were fighting to see every courtyard and every house. Both sides were stunned, and they continued to fight from noon until noon. At night, the Song army continued to land, reinforce, and besiege the city, while the Yuan army fought less and less, and gradually its morale collapsed. The Han army in the Yuan army took the lead in flying the white flag, and the returning soldiers loyal to the Pu family were still dying. struggle.
A battle throughout the night, and the battle did not end until the next morning. The city of Quanzhou was filled with smoke, countless houses were lit, and the streets were littered with corpses and rubble. The imperial army in front of the temple occupied Puzhai, and the navy captured Shibosi and the largest warehouse in the city. Both have gained a lot.
The Pu family has been operating maritime trade for nearly a hundred years and has accumulated a lot of wealth. The beautifully built house is a perfect combination of Arabic and Chinese styles. The building uses gorgeous marble and expensive nanmu. It can be called a fine architectural art. It is a pity. The military disaster burned half of the house, most of the Pu’s males died in the battle, and the old and weak women and children who remained in the house became prisoners.
Liu Yanzhi went to the Pu’s house and inspected the spoils. Hundreds of boxes were placed in the yard. They were all rare treasures collected by the Pu family’s houses over the years. The soldiers only recognized gold, silver, jewellery, silk, satin and spices, and valuable antiques. A lot of calligraphy and painting have been ruined, and no one cares about them anymore in extraordinary times.
There are also hundreds of young female relatives in the yard, most of them are white and beautiful big food, Persian women, and a small number of Han women. These are the wives and concubines of Pu Shougeng and his children and grandchildren. There are also dozens of children hidden in their mothers. Embrace trembling.
"Master Palace, what should I do?" A forbidden army was waiting to ask Liu Yanzhi for instructions.
Liu Yanzhi is also the commander of the former secretary of the palace. According to the rules, he should be called the commander of the palace. Therefore, the forbidden soldiers call him his own.
Liu Yan glanced straight at these prisoners, and then looked at the hungry and eager eyes of the soldiers under his command. He knew that according to the practice of this era, the female prisoners should be handed over to the soldiers. Their fate can be imagined. As for these children, they may be cut off. The most agile, but what's the difference between that and beasts, he couldn't give such orders.
"Where is Pu Shougeng?" Liu Yan asked directly.
"Return to Master Palace Commander, Pu Shougeng and his three sons were captured by the navy."
"First send the property back to the ship. The captives will talk later. No one is allowed to touch them. Anyone who violates the order shall be killed." Liu Yan gave the order and went to the Shibo Si Yamen to see Zhang Shijie.
Zhang Shijie stayed up all night, his eyes were flushed, and he was still very excited. He finally avenged his grievance two years ago and captured Pu Shougeng and his sons.
In Quanzhou's change the year before, Pu Shougeng killed tens of thousands of Han Chinese who were loyal to the Song Dynasty, and later slaughtered tens of thousands of people. His hands were covered with blood. If he didn't smash this corpse into pieces, how could he be worthy of the dead martyrs.
Liu Yanzhi led a group of soldiers into Shibo Siyamen and saw a group of depressed prisoners sitting in the yard. One of them was an old man with gray hair and a beard on his chin. It must be Pu Shougeng. The old man seemed to feel something. Looking up, Liu Yanzhi's gaze made Liu Yan think of some cold-blooded animals.
The two coaches met and exchanged opinions. Zhang Shijie said that the food in Quanzhou's treasury was enough for the navy to eat for a year, and people have been sent to carry it. There are a lot of gold, silver and copper in the treasurer of Shibo. It's all moldy and broken. If these hard currencies are used to recruit soldiers and buy horses, it will be enough for the army to spend two years.
"The Pu family also has a lot of goods, and the officer has already sent someone to transport it." Liu Yan said straight, "I have something to ask the marshal, how to deal with the Pu family's women and children."
Zhang Shijie groaned: "My Dasong is a country of etiquette. Naturally, I won't torture and kill innocents like Danzi, female relatives and young children, just become officials and slaves."
"Then Pu Shougeng and others..."
"According to the law, Ling Chi should be executed, but there is no executioner who knows this craft in the army. This is a bit troublesome... It's better to find a pig killer." Zhang Shijie sighed, "It's really cheap for this old dog."
So Pu Shougeng was tortured under the canonical punishment of the Ming Dynasty. His three sons were not paid that high, except that the car was cracked, and all the other prisoners were beheaded.
Only the men of the Pu family were formally executed. The rest of Quanzhou City were not so lucky. They were killed by the rebels in various ways. Overnight, none of the vassals in Quanzhou City survived.
The scouts learned that there were three Yuan troops marching in the direction of Quanzhou. Among them, there were 10,000 cavalry. Zhang Shijie immediately ordered to speed up the transportation. If they couldn't be moved, they would be set on fire, and no grass or tree could be left to Tarzi.
Three hours later, the Song Army evacuated Quanzhou. Quanzhou at this time had become an empty city, with no people alive, no complete house, blazing fires burning everywhere, and blood flowing into rivers everywhere.
The next day, Zhang Hongfan led a three-way army into Quanzhou. The buildings in the city were destroyed. The century-old wealth accumulated by the Shibosi Department was emptied. The Pu's family was completely destroyed. The soldiers found Pu Shougeng in a pigpen. The stumps of his sons and his sons were broken, and the pig-killer was so poorly crafted that he didn't clean Pu Shougeng, leaving more than half of his body.
Zhang Hongfan didn't have a trace of pity, and the Pu family betrayed their masters and asked for glory.
"Enjoy Marshal, I will finally find a living."
"Oh, bring it up."
A twelve or thirteen-year-old boy was brought up. Zhang Hongfan took a look and asked someone to bring him clean water to wash his face. After washing it, everyone was shocked. The boy is so handsome. High nose, white skin, big eyes and long eyelashes, slender and weak, pitiful.
Zhang Hongfan was suspicious, UU reading www.uukanshu.com reached out and took a hand into the boy's crotch. It turned out to be a real boy, not a woman pretending to be a man. He was happy in his heart and asked, "Who are you?"
"My name is Abu, my grandpa's grandson."
"Who is your grandpa?"
"It's him." Abu said, pointing to the remains of Pu Shougeng in the pigpen.
Now Zhang Hongfan remembered. It seemed that he had seen this child in Pu's house. It looked like a of Pu Shougeng's youngest son Pu Junwen. All the boys of Pu's family were dead. Only this child was left. How could he take good care of him.
"Follow me from now on." Zhang Hongfan sighed.
Since then, Abu has served as a book boy around Zhang Hongfan, serving during the day and sleeping at night. After Zhang Hongfan returned to Dadu the following year, he was sentenced to prison. In order to dredge the relationship, Abu was castrated and sent to the palace as a slave. Abu was favored by Emperor Yuan. He actually pardoned Zhang Hongfan for the crime of losing his teacher and humiliating the country. This is not to mention.
The Pu clan of Quanzhou has since disappeared.
