I am one year older than Chongzhen

Chapter 284 Chapter 280: Gossip
Geng Ruqi was born as a Jinshi, and he is an outstanding scholar.

These days, there are quite a few scholars who read medical books and can prescribe prescriptions based on their pulse. Geng Ruqi also knows a lot about medicine.

It is common sense that there will be a major epidemic after a major disaster, and Geng Ruqi certainly takes it seriously.

Since extermination of rats can prevent the Black Death, the entire army and civilians in Xuanda should be mobilized to participate.

Anyway, the danger of rats is well known, and the execution of such orders will not encounter conflicts.

Geng Ruqi talked a lot with Huang Yi, and also detailed the recent rebellion in Denglai.

At this time, the Ming court did not realize that the rebellion of Li Jiuzheng, Kong Youde and others in the old Dongjiang tribe would spread thousands of miles away, resulting in the death of tens of thousands of people and the displacement of millions of people.

well!In the final analysis, Emperor Chongzhen did not know how to employ people.

Sun Yuanhua is a scientist, and he is most suitable for the Ministry of Industry to manage casting artillery and making bird guns. How can he be the sole governor of Denglai?

During the Wuqiao mutiny, the mastermind was Li Jiuzheng, and Kong Youde was forced to do nothing, and their troops were only about a thousand.

However, Sun Yuanhua, the governor, had been fantasizing about recruiting, and did not dispatch troops in time to destroy them.

In the end, the rebels fought more and more, reaching tens of thousands at most, and harming most of Shandong.

Denglai, who was able to contain Houjin, fell into a slump, but Kong Youde, who became a traitor, often harassed Shandong.

The current history is different. The reason is, of course, that Dalinghe City is still holding on. Wu Xiang and Song Wei, the two commanders-in-chief, retreated behind closed doors in Jinzhou, which did not allow the Jin army to take advantage.

In history, these two living treasures were forced by Sun Chengzong to be helpless, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to rescue Dalinghe City. After seeing them, the Jin army immediately fled and lost thousands of soldiers and horses in vain.

During this period, Wu Sangui discovered that his escaped father was besieged by the Houjin army, and led the Iron Armored Ding to charge to rescue him. He defeated the Houjin army and rescued Wu Xiang back to Jinzhou City.

During the melee, Wu Sangui was chopped on the face with a knife, leaving a scar on his nose ever since.

The story of Wu Sangui's brave rescue of his father was later known by Chongzhen, leaving a good impression of "filial piety and righteousness" in the heart of this headstrong emperor.

Now there is no such good thing, Wu Xiang never leaves Jinzhou City, there is no danger, there is no need for his son to rescue him desperately, Wu Sangui lost the good chance to become famous in the first battle.

At this time, the tens of thousands of reinforcements led by Zhang Chun were not urged by the Ministry of War, so they marched carefully, as slowly as a turtle crawling.

Huang Taiji, who was so anxious to plan a siege to fight for aid, had a nosebleed.

At this time, Huang Taiji didn't know that the difficulty of encircling the spot to fight for aid was not small.

That's a different history. Daming didn't make a refueling tactic, and Wu Xiang and Song Wei didn't bring thousands of soldiers to rescue twice in a row.

Today's Jinzhou City has [-] more soldiers, and because there are no losses of tens of thousands of horses in defeat, the morale is still there.

After Zhang Chun's rescue team and Jinzhou's team joined together, an army of [-] people could be formed.

Among them, [-] to [-] soldiers from Yongping Mansion had blood feuds with the later Jin army, and all of them had relatives who died in the massacre caused by Amin.

These people all joined the army on their own initiative, and they all wanted revenge, and they did not lack the determination to fight to the death.

All in all, there are various indications that Houjin needs to be tough this time, and it is estimated that the war damage will be far greater than the history.

The battle of Dalinghe may drag on for several months, during which time it is absolutely impossible to mobilize thousands of Guanning troops into Shandong to quell the rebellion.

Huang Yi suddenly realized that the Ministry of War was very likely to dispatch the Xinghe Army to Denglai when there were no troops to transfer.

The Wuqiao mutiny in history took place at the end of November in the fourth year of Chongzhen and lasted [-] months.

It was not until April of the sixth year of Chongzhen that Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, etc. defected with cannons, and the Jin Dynasty came to an end.

The cause of this mutiny was only a chicken, which was forcibly taken by a soldier under Kong Youde's command from the servant of Wang Xiangchun, a prominent family in Shandong.

In the territory of Wuqiao, only the Wang family bullies others. When have they been bullied by others?

The servants of the Wang family were relentless and forced Kong Youde to "swim through the camp" the soldier who robbed the chicken.

The servant returned triumphantly with face gained. The soldier who was "pierced into the camp" didn't want to live aggrieved anymore, and together with a few soldiers who were filled with righteous indignation, took advantage of the night to kill the whole family of the servant.

Afterwards, Wang Xiangchun's son, of course, refused to let it go and forced Kong Youde to find out the murderer.

Kong Youde's [-] soldiers and horses were squeezed out and unable to get supplies, which can be described as starving and cold.

When they arrived at Wuqiao, the locals went on strike behind closed doors, which made Kong Youde unable to buy food even with money.

A soldier has a knife in his hand, but he has to be bullied and starved, which is already aggrieved to death.

Now he has to be forced to hand over the murderer, and Li Jiuzheng, who has lost all the money to buy the horse and can't pay the job, is bewitched, of course it explodes.

As a result, the Wang family was killed to the ground, Wuqiao was empty, and the soldiers who got pleasure from robbery and murder began to act unscrupulously...

Huang Yi is familiar with the history of the late Ming Dynasty, and saved the whole story of the Wuqiao Mutiny in his mobile phone.

Knowing that this mutiny completely changed the military balance between Daming and Houjin, Huang Taiji got a lot of artillery and many skilled gunners in vain.

Huang Yi felt that he had the opportunity to lead the Xinghe Army to participate in the Denglai suppression of the rebellion, and he was already thinking about it.

The best result is to intercept Kong Youde's rebels, and not let those cannons and gunners fall into Huang Taiji's hands.

The Xinghe Army had no navy, and Kong Youde's men went into the sea. Huang Yi could only look at the ocean and sigh!

Therefore, the choice of time to participate in the pacification of Denglai is very important, and it must be the time period when the Liaohai Sea is frozen and cannot be navigated.

This year the imperial court did not feel the seriousness of the Wuqiao mutiny, so it was impossible to mobilize the peace army.

If it is to deploy troops next spring, it will be delayed until autumn for various reasons.

Fighting bandits is not very interesting, but fighting the rebels who robbed most of Shandong is very interesting. According to historical records, when Kong Youde fled, there were countless gold and silver treasures on board.

After defeating Dengzhou City, where the rebels had been entrenched for a year, tens of thousands of Ming soldiers made a fortune because too many gold and silver treasures were abandoned in the city.

Huang Yi talked about his analysis of the Denglai rebels, and Geng Ruqi was surprised when he heard it.

He didn't think the rebels would be able to capture Dengzhou City.

Things didn't happen, so it's useless to say more, the reality will prove Huang Yi's judgment.

So Huang Yi told Geng Ruqi that he didn't want to go into Shaanxi to chase the bandits, and that he was going to bring his troops back to Xinghe City for repairs. In a few days, there would be military reports of tens of thousands of troops from the Chahar tribes attacking Xinghe City.

The Mongolian tribes outside the Great Wall often entered the pass to plunder, and no one can tell how many soldiers and horses will be dispatched.

As for whether they lied about the military situation or not, God knows.

It is understandable that the Xinghe Army withdrew from Southwest Shanxi for this reason.

The next day, Wang Kun returned to the capital with only Diao Debao and Xiao Lizi accompanying him.

Huang Yi made his statement, and the twenty Jinyiwei sent to Xinghe City for "visit and study" soon returned after studying.

These people are useful, and it is recommended that Wang Kun stay by his side to avoid gossip.
