Ming Zuo

Chapter 374 Outrageous
Dengzhou fell, and the world was shocked.

The flaming military information was quickly passed around, and anyone who took it felt hot.

The first person to be burned was Yu Dacheng, the governor of Shandong.

Bear the brunt.

"Everyone, what are you going to do... what are you going to do?"

Yu Dacheng panicked, his forehead was covered in white sweat, and he faintly felt a large guillotine hanging from his neck, which would fall at any time.

Looking at the rest of Shandong's civil and military affairs, one by one looks at the nose and the nose at the heart.

Look around and see that it's none of your business.

I am the chief envoy, and I am only in charge of civil affairs.Military... please be smart.

Don't look at me, I'm a senator, but not involved.

In the end, only Shandong tour press Wang Daochun responded positively.

"As of now, Laizhou must not fail. I also ask Lord Zhongcheng to move quickly to appease the hearts of the people, and at the same time ask the court for help."

"what……"

Yu Dacheng shivered on the spot, ready to urinate.

At this time, let him go to Laizhou and face the rebels. This is not to let him die.

But looking at the coveted eyes of his colleagues, it is obvious that if he doesn't plan to go, it is estimated that the memorial of impeachment will drown him.

Yu Dacheng wanted to cry but had no tears, but he had no choice but to walk.

At the same time, the documents to the imperial court were also placed on Chongzhen's desk.

Chongzhen pinched his forehead, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stop the blood rush.

"Sun Yuanhua's crime is extremely heinous, Elder Xu Ge..."

Thinking that Sun Yuanhua was Xu Guangqi's student, Chongzhen wanted to blame twice.It was only halfway through the opening that I remembered that Xu Guangqi had started his career.

Chongzhen turned around and found Zhou Yanru.

"Look at the person you recommended, who mistaken the country and ruined the people, lost the city and lost the land..."

What can Zhou Yanru do?
Sun Yuanhua was recommended by him, and he also made a package at the beginning.

In this situation, the only option is to crawl in front of Chongzhen and transfer the firepower first.

"Wei Chen's vision is dim, his recommendation is unkind, he has failed the emperor's favor, and he can't wait to apologize with death. But when you go to the important town of Lai, you can't afford to lose. I also ask your majesty to send troops quickly to strengthen the support of Eastern Liaoning and soothe the hearts of the people in the world."

Speaking of the importance of Denglai, Chongzhen really didn't care about looking for trouble with Zhou Ge Lao, and quickly asked Liang Tingdong: "Liang Qing, is there any countermeasures?"

Upon receiving the military situation of the fall of Dengzhou, Liang Tingdong knew that he had to send more troops no matter what.

"Your Majesty, in view of the fact that the eastern invaders in Liaodong have retreated, I suggest that the current troops in Tianjin, Baoding, and Tongzhou can be quickly transferred to Shandong, which can deter Xiaoxiao."

He didn't dare to say that after the three-way troops passed, they would be able to quell the rebellion.But I think these three paths are all veterans, and they should be able to curb the momentum of the rebels and provide a buffer for the mobilization of the court.

Chongzhen had no choice but to obey.

"The commander Liu Guozhu of Baoding, Wang Hong, the commander of Tianjin, and Yang Yufan, deputy general of Tongzhou, were ordered to rush to Laizhou to kill the enemy and quell the rebellion without delay."

He thought about it, and said one more sentence.

"Tell Yu Dacheng that the rebellion must be resolved within a month or so. Otherwise, I will never spare him lightly."

Baoding, Tianjin, and Tongzhou were close at hand. After receiving the order, the three-way troops and horses set off at night and arrived at Laizhou in a few days.

Although Dengzhou was closer to Laizhou, the rebels did not attack Laizhou immediately.

why?

First, Zhu Wannian, the prefect of Laizhou, is a talented person.

When the rebels returned to Denglai, Sun Yuanhua was still fantasizing about appeasement, but Zhu Wannian knew that the rebels' wolf ambitions could never be trusted.

Zhu Wannian reinforced the city defense of Laizhou, and also put the artillery on the city wall, making the city of Laizhou impregnable, and the rebels were not sure to capture it.

The second reason is that Li Jiucheng, Kong Youde and others feel that their strength is not strong enough.

Therefore, after capturing Dengzhou City, he immediately took out food, grass, gold and silver, and sent people to various islands at sea to recruit the old troops of Dongjiang.

The various ministries in Dongjiang Town, which had been impoverished for a long time, heard the wind and began to gather in Dengzhou.Among them, Mao Chenglu and Chen sometimes brought seven or eight thousand people.

Although most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, the rebels' strength has reached more than [-].

The strength has increased greatly, so that the rebels are full of confidence.

Subsequently, the rebels began to reorganize.The public promoted Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde as the marshals of the capital, and Geng Zhongming as the governor.

At the same time, the rebels also got news of the imperial court sending troops.

In order to break the deadlock, the rebels decided to take the initiative to take advantage of the situation.

Kong Youde went to see the captured Sun Yuanhua.

"Lord Zhongcheng, the matter has come to this point and cannot be undone. Even if the court calls for peace, the brothers are worried and dare not give or receive."

Kong Youde still acted, emphasizing the difficulty of armistice.

The naive Sun Yuanhua was fooled again, and said eagerly, "Ritu, are you really going to make a big and irreparable mistake? Hurry up, don't make any mistakes."

Kong Youde squeezed a few tears from his eyes and knelt down in front of Sun Yuanhua.

"My lord, if Ruitu is alone, he will have no regrets even if he is slashed by the imperial court.

Sun Yuanhua cried and sighed, and his body was weak.

"How are you doing?"

Kong Youde hurriedly cheered up and was careful to bewitched.

"My lord, our brothers are not really betraying the court, but the traitors in the court are rampant, and there are many plans. For this purpose, our brothers have come up with a solution. I also ask your lord to write a book and report it to the Ming court. There is one way to live, no two hearts. From now on, I will only abide by Dengzhou. If the court agrees, my brother swears that he will never disturb other places in Shandong, and will pay tribute every year. "

The meaning is obvious, the rebels plan to separate Dengzhou and form a country of its own.As long as the court agreed, the rebels stopped their attacks and still admitted that they were part of the Ming Dynasty.

This is obviously wishful thinking, the ghost knows what Sun Yuanhua thinks, and actually wrote a letter to Yu Dacheng.

Is Sun Yuanhua stupid?

And even more absurd.

When the letter was put into Yu Dacheng's hands, he actually seriously thought about it...

"Your lord is so stupid, this is just the traitor's procrastination plan. Daming Zhengshuo returns to his heart, how can a country within a country be tolerated? For today's plan, I will wait for the traitor to die endlessly."

Wang Daochun has accurate information in his hands. He knows that the rebels are now in great difficulty, and he needs the rebels to fight more fiercely, which is in line with his plan. How can he sit and watch the court and the rebels make peace?
Yu Dacheng saw that his thoughts were dismissed, and he lost his mind even more.

"Hey, this official is helpless, all matters, please wait for it."

After all, he turned back to the backyard and really let it go.

After a while, there was a faint sound of wooden fish knocking in the backyard.

[Having a great momentum, he is the King Buddha of Weiyin, with a lifespan of [-] trillion Nayuta Ganges sand kalpas, and the Dharma has lived in the world for as many kalpas as a single dust of Jambudi...]

Zhu Wannian was furious.

"This White Lotus Metropolis..."

Wang Daochun secretly rejoiced in his heart, but his face was sad.

"At this point, the safety of Laizhou depends entirely on Zhu Zhifu's strategizing."

How could Zhu Wannian know his sinister thoughts, and said firmly: "Please rest assured, my lord, Laizhou is absolutely safe with this official here."

Laizhou was fine, but Huang County, the gateway between Laizhou and Dengzhou, fell into the hands of the rebels just the night before Sun Yuanhua wrote to Yu Dacheng.

At this time, the defender of Huang County was Zhang Qigong, a senator from Laizhou, a man in his [-]s who should have left his post.Hearing of the rebellion in Dongjiang Town, Zhang Qigong took the initiative to ask Ying to guard Huang County.

But the faint and incompetent Yu Dacheng only gave Zhang Qigong three hundred old and weak soldiers.

Zhang Qigong had no choice but to recruit Min Zhuang in the city to defend the city.

After the rebels attacked the city, Zhang Qigong tried his best to support it, and the small Huangxian actually blocked the rebels' two-day mad attack.

But on January [-], Huangxian could no longer hold back.

Knowing that the situation is over, Zhang Qigong still chooses to fight hard, and enters the enemy line with a knife.

The cruel rebels hated him so much that they dismembered his body.

Daming is not without loyal ministers and good generals, but he can only write sad songs with his loyal blood.

When Huangxian fell, the door to Laizhou opened wide, and the rebels' fronts went directly to the city.

It was only then that the court finally realized that the first general was incompetent and exhausted the three armies.

Chongzhen quickly issued a decree to remove Yu Dacheng and put him in prison for inquiries.At the same time, Xu Congzhi was appointed governor of Shandong and Xie Lian was appointed governor of Denglai.

The appointment of these two people represented that the main war faction in the court completely overwhelmed the main peace faction.

After Xu Congzhi and Xie Lian received their appointments, they took office on the line of fire and immediately urged the three-way reinforcements to go to Laizhou.

On January [-], the reinforcements arrived at Xincheng, [-] miles away from Zhiye County, Laizhou Prefecture, and collided head-on with the rebels.

At this time, the rebels had [-] cavalry, [-] infantry, [-] red cannons and [-] Western cannons.

On the other hand, the Ming army, although known as the three chief officers to march east, has a total strength of only over [-].

Seeing the overwhelming pressure of the rebels, Yang Yufan and the others felt their scalps go numb.

However, the two governors are personally fighting, they can't retreat if they want, they have to fight if they don't.

In the end, after deliberation, Yang Yufan and Wang Hong lined up separately.

The Tianjin soldiers led by Wang Hong were stationed on the mountain near Xincheng, commanding a commanding presence and taking care of Yang Yufan's guards.

The war is about to start!
