Ming Zuo

Chapter 535 The world is in an uproar
"Wang Chengen arranged for Gao Qiqian to work as a supervisor of the Henan Dao Army as a cover. On the way south, he passed by Zhangde Mansion and secretly contacted Xie Wenju. He cooperated with the inside and outside to seize military power. He is so old... His life and death are in the hands of the people."

As soon as Gao Qiqian left the capital, Zuo Menggeng had already obtained detailed information.

When reporting the information, Zuo Fu's expression was very complicated.

Zuo Kuan was rescued and came back. Seeing his father's miserable appearance, Zuo Fu was furious.

But he takes Zuo Menggeng as the standard in everything, and his behavior is like Zuo Menggeng's.Even so, he still forcibly calmed down, waiting for Zuo Menggeng to make a decision.

"Don't you hate it?"

"The bigger picture matters."

Zuo Fu hides his emotions well.

"I have already arranged the manpower, whether it is saving people or robbing and killing, I guarantee that the task will be completed."

"No need to do anything."

Zuo Menggeng seemed as if nothing had happened, it seemed that it was not his father who was about to face danger.

"Commander, once he falls into the hands of the imperial court, the situation will be passive and the consequences will be extensive..."

Zuo Menggeng looked at the sky, full of emotion.

"My father has become a hot potato now. We can't deal with getting him back; if we don't get him back, maybe the court will also find it difficult."

Zuo Fu was very curious.

"Aren't you afraid if the court uses him against you?"

Zuo Menggeng's demeanor is upright and fearless.

"Since we are going to create a great event, we can't care about these minor details, we must have a broad mind. Personal emotions, family ties, if they become obstacles, then we must clear the obstacles. Those who do not allow us to move forward On the way, anyone and anything will become our stumbling block."

Looking at his back, Zuo Fu was really speechless.In addition to deep admiration, it seems that there is also a deeper understanding.

Yanzhou.

The wind and smoke billowed, shouting and killing like a tide, and countless rebels flocked to the city wall, as if countless ants were going to eat up the elephant.

On the city wall, Liu Guangzhen, the magistrate, has long lost his composure and elegance.

His official robe was full of holes, and the scribe sword in his hand was soaked in blood and lost its light.

But this is his only weapon, the last means of saving his life.

In other words, in today's Yanzhou City, there are really not many weapons.

During the few days of defending the city, all the weapons in Yanzhou City, even old antiques, were moved out. It would be good to be able to kill one more rebel.

"Fire and blow up the building car for me."

The cannons at the top of the city had been fired for an unknown amount of time, and the barrels were so hot that they turned red.

But the soldiers guarding the city didn't dare to stop at all, they kept loading ammunition into the gun barrels, and bombarded the rebels' building cars desperately, regardless of the danger of bombing the gun barrels.

They know that tall buildings and cars are the enemy of defense.

If the building car gets close to the city wall, the rebels can jump up directly, like walking on the ground.

There are not many real soldiers in Yanzhou City, most of them are young and strong peasants.You can still fight from a high position, but once the rebels rush to the city wall, the situation will be over.

The rebels also set up the General Cannon three miles away, and also kept throwing solid shells at the city wall.

During the catastrophe, I don't know how many defenders were killed or smashed to death.

But at this moment, the greater fear has made the residents of Yanzhou get carried away.

They know very well that once the city is broken, what awaits them will be endless hell
After extreme fear, people will become extremely brave.

Even though they didn't have much professional combat ability, this kind of life-threatening combat still caused great trouble for the rebels.

Kong Youde invested all his troops and continued to attack for five days, but he was still unable to break through the city.

Standing under the banner of Shuai, looking at the impenetrable city in front of him, he was more worried about other directions.

"Where is Zuo Menggeng? Where is he?"

A scout reports.

"Zuo Menggeng's soldiers and horses are still in Tai'an, they haven't moved for several days."

Kong Youde frowned tightly, puzzled.

After continuous fighting, he also noticed the tricks.

"Tell me, what exactly does Zuo Menggeng want to do?"

Geng Zhongming was injured in yesterday's siege, and he was enduring the pain at this time, so he had no time to think.

"What does he want to do? We don't have much food. We can't break the city. If Zuo Menggeng comes over again, our entire army will be wiped out."

There was no one to discuss with, which made Kong Youde very depressed.

Now the only hope is pinned on the siege.

But Yanzhou's defense once again caused the rebels to retreat.

"Damn it, these Yanzhou people are better at fighting than those beasts in Laizhou."

Chen Yongfu returned to the town with blood on his forehead, cursing, and deep fear in his eyes.

The rebel generals were speechless for a while, all of them were stumped by the fortified city in front of them.

They didn't know that the reason why Yanzhou defended so resolutely was that apart from knowing what they did in Qingzhou and Jinan, King Lu also made great efforts.

The news that Heng Fan and King De were exterminated, the king of Lu Zhu Shouhong was completely scared out of his wits.

However, the vassal king had no imperial decree and could not leave the fief. He didn't want to move his head, so he had to spend all his wealth to reward the whole city and boost morale.

With his wealth and food and grass support, the morale of Yanzhou has been boosted, so it is so resolute to defend.

But after several days of offensive and defensive battles, the city of Yanzhou has suffered heavy losses.

No one knows how long this city can hold on?
Seeing the rebels retreat, Liu Guangzhen ran over and said to Zhu Shouhong, "Your Highness, such a defense is impossible. We must send dead soldiers out of the city to the capital for help."

Zhu Shouhong was full of sadness, not only in danger of death, but also sad of losing his family wealth.

"What is the imperial court doing? Why hasn't reinforcements arrived after so long?"

What can Liu Guangzhen say?
Yanzhou Mansion has not received any news from the court for a long time.

I don't know when, Yanzhou seems to have lost contact with the whole world.

Before the arrival of the rebels, he had actually sent envoys to the surrounding area to ask for help.However, until now, not only did not see a single reinforcement, but the rebels even blocked the siege of Yanzhou city.

What exactly went wrong with the Ming Dynasty?

Liu Guangzhen and Zhu Shouhong, who were trapped in the isolated city, did not know, but they reached an agreement on the idea of ​​sending the dead.

That night, the east gate of Yanzhou was opened, and Liu Guangzhen personally commanded a group of soldiers to attack the rebel camp at night.

The rebels never expected that the people in the city would dare to come out.A moment of negligence, the whole army was beaten into chaos
Taking advantage of the chaos of the rebel army, a group of dozens of dead soldiers fought desperately, passed through the rebel camp, and went far away.

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

If the request for help from Yanzhou City and King Lu's Mansion reaches the capital, there will be an uproar all over the world.

But before that, things in Shandong could no longer be hidden.

The civil and military forces from all walks of life in Shandong who were expelled by the new army returned to the capital in a panic all the way.

Hundreds of people kneeled outside the imperial city, and the scene was spectacular.

The news spread quickly throughout the city as if it had grown wings.

This time, everyone in the world knows.

Shandong rebelled, set up another king's banner!
Within two hours after the news came out, the price of goods in the capital soared more than three times.

Countless people flocked to the grain store, frantically buying grain.

People in the capital who already had experience knew that once the canal was cut off, they would starve.

On the imperial seat of Fengtian Palace, Chongzhen's face was pale, he was at a loss, and he was no longer the domineering and domineering past.

He is trying to cover up the Shandong matter.

Unexpectedly, this cover was overturned by Shandong
Now that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are gathering, the momentum is huge, and the emperor is only asking him to come up with a way to solve the difficulties in Shandong.

Those radical censors even shouted to fight and kill, weeping blood and begging the court to send troops to put an end to the rebellion.

In the past, he only hated the ministers who were afraid of avoiding battles, and wished he could take up the sword himself and go into battle.

But today, when the ministers really asked to send troops, he finally felt scared
But the situation is like this, does he have any choice?
