Ming Zuo

Chapter 370

When the Dongjiang rebels arrived at the foot of Dengzhou City, Zuo Menggeng also arrived.

Kong Youde was stationed on Mishen Mountain, while Zuo Menggeng was actually on Zhishan not far from him, observing the rebels' every move with binoculars.

From Zhishan, you can also see Dengzhou City.

Although Mengshan is still launching the final battle to encircle and suppress Murong Cai, how can the mere White Lotus Sect be compared with the vigorous Wuqiao Mutiny.

So Zuo Menggeng light car Jian Cong, ran here to watch the fun.

"Look, the rebels are obviously in an offensive formation. That uncle of mine is still dreaming."

Speaking of Sun Yuanhua's response, Zuo Menggeng didn't know how to complain.

Are you really confused about believing in Western religions, thinking that you can use love to influence the rebels?

Yes.

When discussing Sun Yuanhua's series of tricks, his religious beliefs must not be ignored.

The difference between Sun Yuanhua and Xu Guangqi is that, while Xu Guangqi is a believer, he understands that Westerners harbor evil intentions.

As for Sun Yuanhua, believe it, and take it seriously.

It's a pity that Sun Yuanhua is a talent.Obviously he did something stupid, Zuo Menggeng had to give him the bottom line.

"Have the people from Songjiang Prefecture and Shaanxi been sent?"

Zuo Fu is next to him.

"Calculate the time, it's just a few days."

Zuo Menggeng was relieved and concentrated on watching the excitement.

Sun Yuanhua in Dengzhou City did not feel any joy.He had a faint feeling that things seemed to be big.

But now he is like a fish out of water, the only thing he can do is struggle.

"My lord, Kong Youde and the others' wolf ambitions are not credible. For now, the only plan is to stick to it. As long as the city is here, the rebels will not be able to hold on for long."

Looking at the hesitant Sun Yuanhua, Zhang Keda's heart was furious.However, he is the general soldier, and Sun Yuanhua is the governor.

In the end, only Sun Yuanhua can make a final decision.

Sun Yuanhua was still undecided even though the troops were already approaching the city.

he asked one.

"Liangfu, can you teach me?"

The man frowned, but shook his head slowly, without saying a word.

It wasn't that he didn't want to help Sun Yuanhua, but that he didn't know how to deal with such a thing.

Zhang Ke was in great pain, and said with grief and indignation: "Lord Zhongcheng, Lord Superintendent, this is the end of the matter, do you want to put my life and death in the hands of others?"

He decided to settle for the next best thing.

"Even if you plan to appease, you still need to suppress it. Now you don't plan for a rainy day. Once the rebels get a glimpse of the truth, everything will be over."

Sun Yuanhua suddenly realized, and finally found a place to start.

"Yes, yes, Zhang Zongrong is very reasonable. In this case, please two generals immediately lead the troops out of the city, and the city will be at odds with each other to ensure the safety of the city."

Zhang Ke Da let out a sigh, and finally eased a little.

Just looking at the general opposite, somewhat scruples.

"The commander of General Zhang is also the soldier of Liaodong. I wonder if there is a surefire way?"

Another general was Zhang Tao.

This guy followed Kong Youde to Liaodong by sea in September, and finally, together with Kong Youde, hid in Shuangdao and pretended to be dead.

After being called back by Sun Yuanhua, Kong Youde had to lead his troops to Liaodong by land, while Zhang Tao was left behind.

The reason was that Zhang Tao was a close associate of Sun Yuanhua.

Both Sun Yuanhua and Zhang Tao were members of the West-France Party, and accordingly, Sun Yuanhua cited Zhang Tao as a trusted confidant and had unlimited trust.On the contrary, he was somewhat dissatisfied with Zhang Keda, who always sang against him.

It was only today that Sun Yuanhua followed Zhang Keda's advice for the first time when the rebels approached the city.Two troops and horses were dispatched to guard outside the city to form a line of defense against the city.

After doing this, Sun Yuanhua felt that he was safe, and sent people to the rebels to discuss the matter of appeasement.

"Lord Zhongcheng's love and care, we all know it. However, we are all guilty, but I don't know what the court means?"

In the face of Sun Yuanhua's appeal, Kong Youde, Li Jiucheng and others neither agreed nor refused, but used the court's decision as an excuse, in short, delaying time.

At this time, the court had already learned about the rebellion in Dongjiang Town.But how to deal with it, the DPRK and China are hyping it up.

Zhou Yanru tended to be courteous.

Because Sun Yuanhua was recommended by him, he had to keep it.

Only by keeping Sun Yuanhua can his position be stable.

Contrary to him, Wen Tiren shouted and killed, clamoring that the rebels must be completely eliminated, since then, he has deterred Xiaoxiao and safeguarded the authority of the imperial court.

From the historical results, in fact, Wen Tiren's proposal is correct.

Because the rebels have never had any will to be comforted.

They have completely distrusted Ming Ting.

The result they want most is to separate Jiaodong for autonomy.If you can't, then loot and find a place to stay.

But judging from the actual situation of the Ming Dynasty today, it is the court's helpless move to appease.

The battle of Dalinghe had just ended, and the Ming Dynasty suffered heavy losses, and Jinzhou was shocked three times a day.

The Ming Dynasty did not know that there was infighting within Jin after this time, and the contradiction between Huang Taiji and Mang Guertai was irreconcilable, and there was no spare energy to attack Jinzhou.

After the misjudgment of the Ming Dynasty, they were still concentrating a small number of troops in Liaodong, so they were intentional but powerless to the rebellion in Dongjiang Town.

It can be said that Sun Yuanhua insisted on courting during this period. Although it was a stupid move, he had some support at the court level.

However, Kong Youde, Li Jiucheng and others never thought of being petted at all.

After fooling Sun Yuanhua's messenger, Dongjiang Town raided Dengzhou that night.

Fortunately, Zhang Keda was always alert, and the defenders were always on guard.In the dark night, guns on both sides fired in unison.

After Sun Yuanhua took office, he wanted to supervise the manufacture of muskets and artillery.If nothing else, Dengzhou City's defense weapons are absolutely sufficient.

After a night of melee, Dongjiang Town was beaten to the ground and retreated in embarrassment.

Zhang Keda observed carefully, was very excited, and hurried back to Sun Yuanhua to report.

"My lord, the rebels have suffered a severe setback and their morale has plummeted. At this time, the entire army should be assaulted, and the counter-insurgency is imminent."

"No!"

As soon as Sun Yuanhua opened his mouth, it was like cold water for three or nine days, pouring Zhang Keda a chill.

"My lord, don't miss this opportunity. If you lose it, you won't come back. If you miss today, when the rebels are repaired and restored, my Dengzhou is still in danger."

Sun Yuanhua hesitated, never giving orders.

Zhang Ke was in a hurry, but he had to tell him his interests and interests.

"My lord, if you feel that our army is unbearable for a battle, you might as well take a serious rest in the next few days. By the first day of the first month of the first month, our army will recover earlier than the rebels, and we will definitely win a battle."

However, on the first day of the first lunar month, Zhang Keda waited left and right, but still did not wait for Sun Yuanhua's order.

Zhang Keda finally realized the sadness of "willing to kill thieves, but unable to return to heaven".

Because of Sun Yuanhua's indecision, the rebels got a full ten-day rest and made a comeback.

In these ten days, the rebels not only rested and recovered, but also did other work.

On the second day of the first lunar month, the rebels re-entered the city.

Seeing this, Sun Yuanhua finally understood that the rebels had no intention of accepting security at all.He was also in a hurry, and quickly ordered Zhang Keda and Zhang Tao to join forces to resist the rebel attack.

Zuo Menggeng was on Zhishan Mountain and saw the battle clearly.

"Zhang Ke is a pity."

In the field of vision, most of Zhang Ke is very brave, advancing all the way, breaking several formations of the rebels, and it seems that victory is imminent.

Unfortunately, at this time, Zhang Tao's department was like a collapsed high-rise building, and it quickly retreated in an instant, selling most of Zhang Ke on the battlefield.

There was Wu Xiang in the front, Zhang Tao in the back, and the generals of Liaodong repeatedly persecuted their colleagues who fought bravely.

When Zhang Tao ran, the Ming army immediately fell into danger.The rebels encircled several roads and surrounded most of Zhang Ke.

"Master, let's go."

Seeing that nothing could be done, the Chinese army managed Weicheng, guerrilla Chen Liangmo, guard Sheng Luo and Yao Shiliang desperately defended Zhang Keda to break through.

In the end, all these loyal generals died in battle, only Zhang Keda was spared.

Even if Zhang Tao ran away, more than half of his troops still surrendered to Kong Youde.

This suddenly increased the strength of the rebels, which made the siege of Dengzhou even more impassable.

Judging from the fact that Zhang Tao's subordinates surrendered, he chose to flee before the battle, perhaps not necessarily because he had something to do with the rebels, or because he was greedy for life and fear of death.

Instead, he sensed the helplessness of his army's unstable heart and the possibility of rioting at any time.

But in any case, after this battle, the Dengzhou defenders were unable to fight any more and could only be trapped in the lonely city.

Because of his incompetence, Sun Yuanhua missed the best opportunity to suppress the rebellion, and also lost the trust of his subordinates in the city.

But even so, Sun Yuanhua's stun tricks are still emerging one after another.

It can be said that his ending is somewhat self-defeating.
