The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 290 Brother Ding, You Are Too Honest

Standing in front, Xu Fuzuo yelled at Chen Shiyou: "Who told you to take your own initiative and cut down so many brothers? We agreed to kill the culprit, why are you so cruel——"

Chen sometimes knelt on the ground without saying a word, with his head bowed.

The generals were first shocked that Chen would do this sometimes, and then they all thought that Xu must have asked Chen to do this, and now he was deliberately acting, trying to form a good image in front of everyone.

"The army is about to be dispatched right now, and there is still a military spirit?"

This set of tricks is too clumsy, and you can think of it with a little brain.

After Xu Fuzuo scolded him, he suddenly yelled, "Someone come here, pull Chen Shiyou out and chop him up."

The crowd was in an uproar.

"Keep people under the knife." Ding Yi suddenly shouted in the corner.

"Mr. Xu, General Chen Shen can't be killed." Ding Yi said earnestly.

"Why can't you kill him?" Xu stared sharply.

The two checked the lines they discussed last night, and Shen Shikui and Shang Kexi also stood up and begged for mercy.

Then the other generals also knew, let's all cooperate and beg for mercy.

So Chen was sometimes reprimanded ten times with the stick, as an example to others, and at the same time his soldiers and horses were divided into two and Shang Kexi was given half to guard Pidao.

Soon this version was spread to all the islands in Dongjiang.

Probably Mao Yongyi and the others turned against Chen sometimes, but Chen refused, and then Mao and others wanted to kill Chen and refused to let him report the letter.

Of course, in private, some people felt that Xu asked Chen to do this, and it was not a thing for Xu to pick apart and force the Dongjiang brothers to kill each other.

Anyway, everyone's impression of Chen and Xu is not very good.

Of course, this matter has nothing to do with Ding Yi.

Brother Ding was the first to intercede for Chen Shiyou, which is considered benevolent and righteous.

On August [-], after resolving the worries of the Dongjiang River, Ding Yi and Xu Fuzuo each led four thousand soldiers and horses (among them, Xu brought two thousand sailors), took dozens of boats, and first went around Dengzhou to In Laizhou Bay, the whole army disembarked in the waters near Wang Xusai's former residence.

Their ships are divided into two parts, one part is the navy of Phi Island and other islands, and it is also the navy of Dongjiang soldiers. There are about 30 ships, which are stationed near Wang Xusaiqian.

The other part is Ruan Siqing's fleet. They returned to their original places, spared Dengzhou, and went to Songjiang Fujian to do business.

Right now is the season for raw silk to go on the market, Ruan Siqing will go to Songjiang to see Xu's buying a large amount of raw silk and selling it to Japan.

Wang Xusai's former residence was a local residence of thousands of households. It had been captured by the rebels before, and the rebels destroyed it with a fire, and then retreated to the outside of Laizhou city, surrounding Laizhou.

Ding Yi's soldiers and horses went ashore first, followed by Xu Fuzuo's soldiers and horses. There were a small number of horses on board, about [-] horses, all of whom were Xu Fuzuo's men.

After the cavalry came ashore, Xu Fuzuo sent ten cavalry to look for the main force of the army in the direction of Changyi, and at the same time sent sentry cavalry to search around.

In less than an hour, the sentry cavalry came back one after another. Based on the analysis of the sentry cavalry, the generals judged that the main force of the rebel army was probably in Hutouya Town, and a small amount was outside Laizhou City. It was estimated that there were [-] to [-] soldiers and horses.

There were more than 9 rebels in this period of original history.

Now there are fewer rebels from Phi Island, a lot less.

Ding Yi was also taken aback, not understanding how Kong Youde became 6 or [-] people from a few thousand people.

Because they were not sure whether the rebels had found them, they moved to Zhuqiao Town that night, leaving a small group of troops in front of Wang Xu.

The sentry cavalry sent to Changyi came back the next day, and Ding Yi also got in touch with the official army.

Judging from the information obtained by the officers and soldiers, the main force of the rebel army is really in the Hutouya area, but its strength is about [-], which is more than they estimated.

The officers and soldiers are now in Changyi from all walks of life, with a total of 1000 soldiers, horses and infantry.

Among them, there are more than 4000 people from the Liaodong Zukuan and Wuxiang tribes.

In addition, Wang Hong's Department of the Tianjin General Army, Liu Guozhu's Department of the Baoding General Army, Yang Yufan's Department of the Tongzhou General Army, Deng Qi's Department of the Jimen General Army, Wu Anbang's Department of the Dengzhou General Army, Chen Hongfan's Changping General Army, and the Volunteer General Liu Zeqing's Department, several general soldiers joined There are only more than 6000 people.

Hearing this, Xu Fuzuo couldn't help laughing: "The chief soldier is worthless now. Anyone can be the chief soldier. Brother Ding, with your elite soldiers, you should have been the chief soldier long ago."

Ding Yi subconsciously wanted to take a look at Zhao Dashan, and then remembered that he was left behind in Lushun.

If Zhao Dashan is here, he immediately understands it, and he must shout loudly: "Ni Niang, these general soldiers are conserving their strength, and they are only willing to send out one thousand soldiers if they have ten thousand. That's like our Master Ding, who has three thousand soldiers and horses." , have to collect four thousand, in terms of serving the court, Mr. Ding's loyalty can be learned from, and the sun and the moon will be rewarded together."

This guy has recently learned some words, and he often shows off in front of Ding Yi, basically saying things that no one can understand.

Ding Yi is regretting not bringing Zhao Dashan here.

Wang Weizhong smiled honestly at the side: "These general soldiers should preserve their strength, Mr. Ding, if we knew we would only send out a thousand soldiers, forget it."

Ding Yi was overjoyed in his heart, but on the surface he scolded him with a straight face: "What are you talking about?"

He clasped his fists and faced the capital as he spoke.

"Your Majesty cares for Ding Yi, and values ​​our Lushun soldiers even more. Now that the army is in chaos, when we use our troops, how can we be half-hearted, even if we give everything, we must serve the court and serve His Majesty."

Xu Fuzuo was moved. Brother Ding is good at everything, but he is too honest. He doesn't know how to preserve his strength in troubled times. Hey, I have to find an opportunity to persuade Brother Ding.

He sighed and said: "Brother Ding, you are so honest." He wanted to say more, but right now there are many other generals around him, and he was afraid that the walls would have ears, so he stopped talking.

The corner of Yan Xiong's mouth twitched, Master Ding is honest?Well, indeed.

According to the messengers sent by the officers and soldiers, Zhu Dadian, the governor of Shandong Province, decided to take an oath on August [-] and attack Kong Youde's troops in three ways.

Knowing that Dongjiang Town soldiers and horses have arrived, let them attack from the rear and cooperate together to try to kill and injure the rebels as much as possible.

Ding Yi remained calm after hearing this, he must have known that this battle was a big victory for the officers and soldiers.

As for how he won, of course he didn't remember.

But originally 1000 people could win a big victory, so what are they afraid of with 8000 people.

Ding Yi and Xu Fuzuo discussed that the distance from Zhuqiao Town to Laizhou was similar to the distance from Changyi to Laizhou, and they decided to send troops at the same time on the morning of the [-]th.

Xu Fuzuo went to Ding Yi's camp for dinner that day.

After eating, he walked in the camp, and couldn't help but said: "When I got off the boat yesterday, I wanted to ask, these cars of yours, when they encounter mountains, I'm afraid they won't be able to go, and they won't go fast."

It turned out that Ding Yi's soldiers and horses came with a cart.

Now Ding Yi has more than 300 people in a bureau, and will be equipped with ten carts.

Because there was no room on the boat, Ding Yi brought a total of twenty carts this time.

These carts are relatively large, and it takes a lot of people to carry them on and off the boat. Xu Fuzuo saw it yesterday and felt very strange at the time.

The Lushun Army first lifted a big box, and then lifted the four tires separately. After reaching the ground, they loaded them up, and it became a car with four wheels.

"Brother Xu, don't worry, the Lushun camp will not delay the fighter plane." Ding Yi said, patting his chest.

Xu Fuzuo thinks about it too, Lushun is all elite soldiers, I'm afraid they won't be able to stop them.

He asked again, what is the use of these cars?

Ding Yi said that people can carry people on flat land, transport food, guns and ammunition, but when encountering mountainous areas, they cannot be pushed, and people can carry food and ammunition on their backs and push with empty vehicles.

Xu Fuzuo asked again, will the soldiers and horses be too tired?
Ding Yi said, when we were in Lushun, there would be horses and mules pulling them. This time we came by boat, and we couldn’t fit too many horses, so we pushed like this first.

However, Ding Yi said again, when there is a battle with the rebels, there will be horse mules.

This time Ding Yi only brought fifty cavalry, mainly sentry cavalry, for him and his own soldiers.

Xu Fuzuo was also a man of loyalty, and immediately said, "My cavalry will give you fifty horses, is it enough, or a hundred horses?"

He brought a total of five hundred horses, and he was willing to give Ding Yi one hundred.

Ding Yi thought for a while, and said happily, "Thank you Brother Xu." He was not polite, and took a hundred horses.

His cart is relatively large, and it saves a lot of labor to use two horses for one cart.
