I am one year older than Chongzhen

Now Laizhou not only has the original defensive artillery.

There were cannons carried by several Ming soldiers who rescued Dengzhou and retreated to Laizhou after losing the battle.

There are also five Hongyi cannons and hundreds of general cannons transported from the capital by Liu Yulie, the minister of the Ministry of War who served as the governor of Shandong and Denglai.

There are many guns and no shortage of gunpowder, and the daily consumption of shells is very large. Finally, the method of grinding stone shells to replace cast iron shells had to be adopted.

This method is good, the stone bomb falls to pieces, and the lethality of the gravel splash cannot be underestimated.

Laizhou's defense was resolute, and the rebels could not attack for a long time. Li Jiuzheng, Kong Youde and other rebel generals decided to outwit them.

They pretended to accept the court's appeasement, and they had already negotiated terms with Liu Yulie, the governor in charge of countering the rebellion, and Xie Lian, the new governor of Denglai who had just taken office.

But Zhu Wannian, the magistrate of Laizhou, didn't believe in the rebels at all. He believed that the enemy's advantage was obvious, and the Ming troops from all walks of life were beaten to the ground. It was absolutely impossible to lay down their weapons under such circumstances.

But Liu Yulie had illusions in his heart, which was actually caused by his selfishness.

He was appointed governor of Shandong and Denglai, under the jurisdiction of the two governors, and was the first person responsible for countering the rebellion.

Now he is suppressed and beaten by the rebels, and has to stick to Laizhou to linger on his last breath, so how can the rebellion be put down in the Year of the Monkey?

The gathering of the army is so costly, and the officials of the imperial court must be devastated. It is light to say strange things and make small reports. I am afraid that too many officials and censors will directly impeach him for incompetence and waste money.

Of course, Liu Yulie knows what kind of temperament the emperor is. Given the current situation, Tiqi may appear at any time to take him down and send him to the capital for questioning!
The rebels asked the two sides to stop the shelling before talking about appeasement. Of course Liu Yulie couldn't wait!

History remains the same, Li Jiuzheng, Kong Youde and other generals' demands for amnesty have been met.

The two parties agreed that on July [-], Xie Lian, the governor of Denglai, and Zhu Wannian, the prefect of Laizhou, would come out of the city to the rebel camp to distribute the amnesty gold medals.

If Huang Yi hadn't turned out, and the Xinghe Army hadn't arrived twenty miles south of Laizhou City in time, Li Jiuzheng and Kong Youde's plan would have been half successful.

Why do you say half the battle?
It was because they pretended to be recruited successfully, and tricked Xie Lian, governor of Denglai, Zhu Wannian, prefect of Laizhou, and several civil servants and generals into the army on business trips.

So they took Xie Lian, Zhu Wannian and other civil and military generals on the spot, and threatened them to open the gate of Laizhou city.

Who knew that Zhu Wannian, Xie Lian, etc. would rather bend than bend, and roared "Fire me!" under the city of Laizhou, and Zhu Wannian became a martyr of the Ming Dynasty on the spot.

As a result, Li Jiuzheng, Kong Youde, etc. fell short and failed to capture Laizhou City. They just captured the governor Xie Lian alive and beat the prefect Zhu Wannian to death.

Huang Yi saw this history from his mobile phone. He didn't care whether it was a historical fact or not. In line with the consistent principle of preferring to believe it, he deliberately rushed to the outside of Laizhou City to confront the rebels.

And deliberately chose the night of July [-]th to launch a night attack!
Of course, the purpose is to save responsible ministers without too much trouble, so do a good deed!
Kind rewarded!
The rebels and the Laizhou garrison reached a ceasefire agreement, and the two sides would not fire any more guns. Afterwards, the terms of appeasement were negotiated, and they waited for July [-] to be completed.

So on the night of the sixth day of July, the rebels were more or less careless, and of course something went wrong!
The Ming army dozing off at the head of Laizhou City suddenly heard the explosion and saw the brilliant fireworks in the night sky.

Then there were bursts of shouts outside the city.

They hurriedly reported to the chief.

Not long after, Governor Liu Yulie, Governor Xie Lian, Prefect Zhu Wannian, Chief Soldier Chen Hongfan, Liu Guozhu, Yang Yufan, Deng Qi and other civil and military generals appeared in Nanchengmen Louzi.

In the Ming Dynasty, especially in the middle and late period, the civil and military were developed to the extreme, and the generals had to submissive in front of the civil officials.

Moreover, those who stayed in Laizhou City were all defeated generals, and they had no right to speak.

Liu Yulie was not happy when he saw the flames of the rebel camp rushing towards the heavenly wolf. He glanced at the generals and said angrily:

"Which group of people went out of the city to steal the camp? Who approved it? Why didn't you ask the governor for instructions?"

Chen Hongfan, the commander-in-chief of Changping, is a general who is not good at fighting and is very good at adapting the rudder according to the wind. He has long given generous respect to all the civil servants.

At this time, he replied respectfully: "My lord, all the generals in Laizhou city know that the rebels have been appeased, and there is absolutely no way to go out of the city to provoke at this time!
The humble post can conclude that it should be a night attack launched by reinforcements! "

Liu Yulie was furious, and said viciously: "The reinforcements will come sooner or later, just before the success of the appeasement, the governor wants to impeach the leader of the reinforcements!"

Zhu Wannian didn't approve of recruiting at first, and he was delighted to see that the reinforcements came and launched a night attack. He didn't see the governor who had made no achievements lose his temper. He said:
"The reinforcements' daring to attack the rebels at night is enough to prove that the general not only has the heart to fight but also has courage and insight!

The lower official suggested to immediately organize half of the people in the city to take advantage of the chaos to fight out, and cooperate with the inside and the outside. It is not known whether we will defeat the enemy in a battle tonight! "

"Gather people and horses to fight out of the city in the middle of the night?"

All the generals looked at each other, feeling that the prefect Zhu was out of his mind, and no one spoke up.

Not all generals are cowards, but they know their own affairs.

If those soldiers hadn't been watched by the servants, none of them would have escaped!
The generals are afraid of the rebels, but the soldiers are not. They can surrender without any psychological pressure when they encounter the rebels. Where is it not for the sake of making a living?
If they really led the troops out of the city in the dark, they would probably disperse before they even got close to the rebel camp.

Fortunately, there was no need for the generals to raise objections. Governor Liu Yulie spoke up, and he said:
"Impossible, this governor must not follow in the footsteps of the criminal officer Sun Yuanhua! Order the whole army to guard the city and not act rashly!"

Zhu Wannian said anxiously: "This time is completely different from when the rebels attacked Dengzhou. Don't miss this opportunity!"

Liu Yulie still shook his head and said: "That day Sun Yuanhua refused to listen to Zhang Keda's advice and sent troops out of the city to fight in the field. Who would have thought that the soldiers who went out to fight would turn against each other, and the rebels seized Dengzhou City.

Lessons learned from the past, the governor must guard against! "

Hearing the shouts of the rebel camp resounding, and seeing more and more places where the fire broke out, but the governor refused to order an attack, Zhu Wannian looked around at the generals and shouted:

"Such a good opportunity, are you willing to just watch it like this? But who is willing to fight with me?"

The prefect and the governor had different opinions, and the generals of course listened to the governor, but no one paid any attention to Zhu Wannian.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, Zhu Wannian smiled instead of anger, and said an idiom: "Shuzi is not enough and tricks!" He went directly down the city wall along the horse path.

He is the magistrate of Laizhou, and he has organized a lot of brave people, as well as one or two hundred yamen servants and Zaoli.

Civil officials are different from military commanders. Although Zhu Wannian is only a magistrate, he is not afraid of the governor appointed by the imperial court temporarily.

He felt that the opportunity was not to be missed, so he decided to order all eight hundred young men to lead them personally. Even if they couldn't fight in the field, creating momentum would be able to achieve the effect of a two-sided attack.
