Ming Zuo

Chapter 377 Various [Thanks Mrs Xing for the reward! 】

On January [-], the Battle of Xincheng broke out.

On that day, Kong Youde assembled [-] men to attack Yang Yufan's position.

Yang Yufan was also a stalwart, and he personally led his soldiers to shoot at the rebels across the camps and trenches.

Fighting until the night, the rebels did not break through Yang Yufan's trench.In desperation, they had to leave [-] people to trap Yang Bu, and instead concentrated their forces against Wang Hong Bu on the mountain.

On the first day of the second lunar month, the rebels gathered more than [-] troops, set up red-clothed cannons and general cannons, and slammed Wang Hong's troops.

In the face of such fierce firepower from the rebels, Wang Hong gradually couldn't support it.There was no other way, Wang Hong quickly sent people to make peace with the rebels.

Therefore, the whole Wuqiao mutiny turned into a mess in the end, which is inseparable from these civil and military chaos in the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Hong didn't realize what his actions meant at all.

In the dark of night, Yang Yufan at the foot of the mountain only saw the messengers from Wang Hong and the rebels coming and going.

The rebels, of course, had no intention of making peace, and took this opportunity to redeploy their artillery.

Shortly afterward, the rebels attacked suddenly, this time with sharp and accurate fire from the redeployed artillery.Yang Yufan at the foot of the mountain was afraid that this was Wang Hong playing with the rebels, so he did not support him at all.

Wang Hong was unable to support the tree alone, and gradually began to collapse, and even he himself ran away.

After destroying Wang Hong's group, the rebels occupied the top of the mountain and completed the siege of Yang Yufan's group.

On the same day, the rebels launched a siege on Yang Yufan's department with five red-clothed cannons and more than [-] general cannons.Not only that, the rebels also sent spies to burn the Ming army's food and grass along the way of Zhuqiao Town, making Yang Yufan's department completely isolated and helpless.

Even so, Yang Yufan persisted for a day and a night.

However, his persistence can't wait for anything.

On the second day of the second month of February, seeing that it was a complete defeat, Yang Yufan triggered the isolation and helpless BUFF and began to fight against the water.

The rebels thought they were in a safe position to win, but they could not help underestimating the enemy, and Yang Yufan seized the opportunity.

He personally led the soldiers to charge ahead, set up cannons to fight against the rebels, and the rebels were in chaos.

And Yang Yufan also reached the point where he ran out of ammunition and food. The more than [-] cannons in his hands were blown up by [-] guns due to the fierce battle for days.

Yang Yufan rose up his courage and led the whole army into the central camp of the rebels in the early morning of the second day of the first day.

The rebels were frightened by Yang Yufan's bravery, and they were chaotic. He finally opened a gap and broke through the siege.Not only that, Yang Yufan's department could maintain complete order and retreat to Laizhou.

On the first day of the new year, Xu Congzhi, the newly appointed governor of Shandong, and Xie Lian, the governor of Denglai, arrived in Laizhou, and then welcomed Wang Hong's troops who had fled back.

In order to cover up the fact that he was about to flee, Wang Hong also lied that all the troops of Yang Yufan were wiped out.But then Yang Yufan's messenger went back and forth, which led to the truth being revealed.

Angry Xu Congzhi and Xie Lian sent Wang Hong to prison and reported to the court to inquire.

After Yang Yufan's troops retreated into Laizhou, the Ming Dynasty had no more soldiers to fight in the field of Denglai.

..............................

What happened in Denglai cannot affect the new army.

The new army has begun to reorganize, and the transfer of officers at all levels is more frequent than that of ants.

Shen Xun also received an order to hand over the matter at hand and return to the military academy to study.

Everyone knows that this company commander is not far away.

Under the envious gazes of others, Shen Xun returned to Linqing.

On the way, he went to visit his friend Zuo Maodi.

"Hey, isn't this our General Shen?"

As soon as they met, Zuo Maodi made a joke.

Shen Xun was a little afraid to recognize it.

"Zhongji, why do you look like this?"

Zuo Maodi looked at himself and didn't notice anything wrong.

"Overall, it doesn't matter if it's dark or thin. You came just in time. Our Anshan Lake has a bumper harvest of fish. I'll invite you to eat fish tonight."

After a year of cultivation, Ansan Lake Fishery Company finally ushered in the first wave of harvest.

Shen Xun followed Zuo Maodi and saw an unforgettable scene in his life.

Thousands of boats, large and small, traveled across the lake, tens of thousands of people worked together, and net after net of fish was picked up from the water.

The fish caught in each net are at least a thousand catties.

On the one hand to catch, on the other hand overweight.In just one day, more than [-] catties of various fish were harvested.

Looking at the overwhelming variety of fish, shrimp, turtles, snails, etc., Shen Xun couldn't say anything.

"So much, when will you be able to finish it?"

The joy of the harvest overflowed on Zuo Maodi's face.

"How much is this? Let me tell you, our fishing this time will last for half a month. Don't look at how much these fish are caught. In fact, they have already been ordered."

Shen Xun was even more surprised.

"So many, who can afford it?"

Zuo Maodi counted with his fingers.

"Your military ordered [-] jin, Dongchang House ordered [-] jin, Linqing ordered [-] jin, and Jinan House ordered [-] jin. The rest of the surrounding areas are also ordered. In addition to the reservations of mines and major factories, this batch of seizures may not be enough.”

Shen Xun vaguely understood, and was sincerely happy for his friend to arrive.

"Congratulations on your fortune!"

Zuo Maodi put his hands on his hips in high spirits.

"Your seat is right. This is the way to benefit all people in the world. As long as we keep persevering, there will be no more people who starve to death in this world. I don't think it will be far from the prosperous Tang Dynasty."

The two young people looked at the boiling lake, relaxed and happy, never so determined.

After staying in Anshan Lake for one night, Shen Xun did not delay any longer, and took the boat of Anshan Lake Fishery Company directly back to Linqing.

When he arrived at Zuozhuang, he did not report to the military camp first.

This time back, he still has ten days of vacation.

After going abroad for a long time, of course, what I miss most is my relatives.

Shen Xun returned to his small courtyard, raised his hand and knocked on the door, but the courtyard door opened automatically.

A young woman was sweeping in the yard, tired and sweaty.Hearing the door slam, as soon as I looked up and saw it was him, tears welled up from the corners of my eyes.

It was his wife Zuo Shi.

As the name suggests, he was born in the Zuo clan of Laiyang.After all, Shen Xun and Zuo Maodi are still relatives by marriage.

After Shen Xun joined the army, he has been on expeditions. Zuo stayed in Linqing to raise the children alone. Unexpectedly, Shen Xun came back suddenly.

The beloved was in perfect condition, and Zuo cried with joy.

Shen Xun managed to coax her and asked, "Where's Jun'er?"

Zuo scrutinized her husband non-stop, her heart was full of excitement, and she finally felt that the house had heating.

"It's in the school. Don't worry, Jun'er is very good and has always been among the best. Even the wife praises her."

There is only one person called Mrs. Xu Ruolin here.

Shen Xun was extremely relieved to learn that his child was so powerful, and only then did he think of comforting his wife.

Seeing no one around, he wrapped his arms around him and hugged his wife in his arms, while being gentle and whispering.

"I came back this time to study in the military academy. I can stay at home for half a year, and I won't let you suffer alone."

Zuo was overjoyed when he heard this, and the heat in his heart was surging like a volcano.

"I...I'm going to see if the courtyard door is closed."

Returning to Zuozhuang again, Shen Xun found that something was different here.

First of all, it is not as lively as before.

"Hey, the factories have all moved away, and the big guys have followed. If you want the old man to say, the young master is just messing around. The big guys are all here, and it's so lively. It's great."

I met Lao Qin's head on the way, and I don't know how many times I have said this kind of complaint.

Old Qintou was very unhappy about the relocation of the factory.

When people are old, they like to be lively.

Lively means angry.

With the removal of several major factories, Zuozhuang's population has dropped by about half, and the elderly feel very disappointed.

Shen Xun had to speak for Zuo Menggeng.

"There's no way. To make our factory bigger and stronger, we need a bigger place. Zhuangzi is still small, and he doesn't have coal or iron, so it's not enough."

Old Qin was unhappy and pointed to Zhuangzi and cursed around him.

"Why are you so small? Look, it's not all land."

Shen Xun supported him and walked slowly.

"Those are arable land, and they need to grow food. If there is no food, people will have to go hungry. But the seat of the audience said that they are not allowed to move the arable land."

The words of others are not taken seriously, but Zuo Menggeng's words are an unshakable imperial decree for him.

"What the young master said, that's right."

Shen Xun rested at home for three days, rushed to the military academy to report, and was assigned to the junior class of the combat command department.

Walking into his class and meeting someone face to face, the opposite side immediately showed a mocking look.

"Yo, isn't this a genius, why did he get mixed up with us idiots?"

Compared to the other party, Shen Xun's expression was ordinary.

"Gu Erzhong, the past is over. The people who killed your family in the past have also been punished. Now I am your Paoze, not your enemy."

The man on the opposite side was Gu Erzhong who was captured by the new army under Laiyang City.

Only through his words did everyone know Zuo Maotai's evil deeds.Afterwards, Sun Yuanhua punished Zuo Maotai severely, which could be regarded as revenge for him.

After that time, Gu No. [-] Middle School was transformed and joined the new army.

Unexpectedly, the time has changed, and the two people who once fought for life and death have now become comrades-in-arms.

For this kind of situation, both of them just find it magical.

I don't know, this is actually the credit of new thought reform.

　Thank you Jiang Qifeng for the reward!
