Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 700 Dengzhou Rebellion ([-]rd update)

When the Ningyanghou family was not well established in He Jinchao, they dared to "rob" money from him by selling him weapons and salt because he robbed the big gentry family in Ganquan County.

In the later period, Hong Chengchou even took the opportunity to kill Ningyang Hou's people, withhold all his money and goods, and support his own pacesetters.

The two parties had an old enmity, and Hong Chengchou didn't think that he was more honest than the hammer bandit He Jinzhao on Ningyanghou's side.

Don't make it to the end, instead of helping yourself, you make a wedding dress for the hammer bandit.

Shenyang Imperial Palace.

Huang Taiji is checking the news of the Dengzhou rebellion.

On the first day of the first lunar month of this year, he accepted the suggestion of Li Bolong from the Ministry of Rites to participate in politics, and abolished the old system of sitting in the south with the three major Baylors to manage the government together.

Since then, among the three Baylors, one died in battle, one was imprisoned, and one honestly took the initiative to resign.

The co-governance of several major Baylors in the Houjin Group ended, and the imperial power continued to be concentrated in Huang Taiji.

Of course, Dabeile Daishan is still strong, and he is not at fault at the moment, and he takes the initiative to lie low, so Huang Taiji can't catch his mistakes and beat him.

As for what he told everyone last year that he was going to congratulate Jinzhao and avenge Mangurtai this year, he seems to have forgotten it.

Believe less in the words of politicians!

He moved back the attack on Chahar and kept an eye on the affairs of Dengzhou Capital. Maybe he could use this group of rebels to take down Lushun and Pidao.

Lushun's strategic position is very important to Huang Taiji and Daming.

Lushun is located at the southernmost tip of the Liaodong Peninsula. It was originally a small town that was not taken seriously.

It has two cities, the north and the south. During the Hongwu period, the Ming army marched to the northeast to pursue the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty. They once led their troops here and erected fences. This is the North City.

During the Yongle period, Baozhuan City was built in the south of the original city, and in the middle of the latter period, the North City was abandoned.

Lushun belongs to Jinzhouwei. The city is very small, with a circumference of only one mile, but it belongs to the political, economic, and cultural center of the Liaodong Peninsula.

This place is connected to Hai (state) and Gai (state) in the east, and Deng (state) and Lai (state) in the south. It is a battleground for military strategists.

All coastal areas including Lushunkou and the coastal islands are within its jurisdiction. There are five guards, four in Jinzhou City and one in Lushun.

"Ningyuan in the west, North Korea in the east, Siwei in the north, and Dengzhou in the south."

When Nurhachi was young, he was seeking Lushun.

In the second year of the Apocalypse, the Ming Dynasty discussed the coastal defense of Liaodong, and concluded that the division of troops into Lvshun followed the decision of North Korea.

Mao Wenlong ordered Zhang Pan to guard Lushun Fort, and Zhu Guochang to guard Changxing. He once made great achievements in guarding Sanshan Island, forming a favorable situation in which there are hundreds of miles of chess and three feet spreading the beacon.

Nurhachi was worried that once the Ming army gained a firm foothold, it would advance to its hinterland.

Therefore, they sent troops to retake Jinzhou, and in the second year they sent [-] cavalry to attack Lushun, which was defeated by Zhang Pan.

Nurhachi sent people to surrender, Zhang Pan beheaded the envoy, and resolutely refused to surrender.

The bandit chieftain was furious, and led his troops to besiege the city and attack fiercely. Zhang Pan led his troops to set up ambushes on the north and south mountains, and the gold retreated after the fight.

After the defeat of Hou Jin, the Ming army continued to reinforce Lushun and repair the city wall.

In the fifth year of the apocalypse, Hou Jin's investigation learned that "the Ming army increased its troops by [-] people" and went from sea to Lushunkou to repair the city wall.

Nurhachi ordered Mang Gurtai to lead 6000 troops to attack Lushun again. When the Ming army left the city to repair Nanguan, the city was empty.

The cavalry suddenly arrived, besieged the city and attacked fiercely. The Ming army was caught off guard and outnumbered. Zhang Pan, Zhu Guochang and others died in battle. The city was destroyed and the defenders were wiped out.

Mang Gurtai destroyed the city and returned. As soon as he withdrew, Mao Wenlong sent Zhang Pan's brother to help Zhang Zhi to enter.

After Jin captured Lushun and failed to defend it, it was obvious that the troops were insufficient and beyond reach, and they were afraid that they would be harassed by the Ming army at sea if they were stationed alone.

In addition, Nurhachi's key target was the western Liaoning area, and the battles of Guangning and Ningyuan were launched successively.

During this period, several attacks were launched from southern Liaoning to Lushun, but the Ming army repeatedly retreated and advanced until Nurhachi died, and Lushun was still in the hands of the Ming army.

But after Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, the situation changed a lot.

"Kong Youde originally supported Dalinghe, but he got into a mess." Huang Taiji laughed loudly.

Kong Youde is the righteous grandson of Mao Wenlong, who was once named Mao Yongshi.

After the capture of Dengzhou, Kong Youde proclaimed himself Marshal, Li Jiu became deputy marshal, and Geng Zhongming was the commander-in-chief.

The Ming court ordered Zhu Dadian to oversee the rebellion, and also asked Zu Dabi to lead tens of thousands of troops to reinforce.

"Great Khan, although Zu Dabi is brave, can he have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands?"

Fan Wencheng analyzed from the side, Zu Dabi was Zu Dashou's cousin, nicknamed Zuer Crazy, he was the one who dared to lead a small army to fight against the Dajin army.

He even fought against the enemy alone, beheading one of Dajin's Batulu, which belongs to the fierce general.

"Whether Liaodong can take away these people, if I am Lushun."

Although Huang Taiji was very dissatisfied with Zu Dashou's feigned surrender, he treated his nephews and the Guan Ning army who hadn't escaped as bannermen, and received favorable treatment.

It's even more generous than the treatment given to Zu Dashou as the head of the family. It's only a matter of time before these people are used by him to occupy the entire Liaodong.

He believed that without the elite Guan Ning army in Zu Dashou's hands, it would be a matter of time before he surrendered to Da Jin.

"Kong Youde retreated to Dengzhou, and the Ming army approached the suburbs, built a long wall, cut off grain roads, and tried to force Kong Youde to surrender. Dengzhou faces the sea in the north, and the Ming army could not surround it."

Fan Wencheng pinched his beard and said, "Did Khan want to recruit these people?"

"Did you see it?" Huang Taiji asked, pointing to the letter in his hand.

"Slave is stupid."

"Some people in Ming Court want to appease Kong Youde, but some people want him to die."

Looking further down, Fan Wencheng saw that Huanglong took advantage of the fierce battle between Kong and Geng's rebels in Dengzhou. Huanglong, whose nose had been cut off, was still guarding Pidao.

Huang Long is also from Liaodong. He joined the army in Jinzhou, accumulating meritorious service from a small school to the general army.

Last year, when Liu Xingzhi ruled Zhenjiang, the Liu brothers all defected from Houjin and returned to Ming Dynasty. After Liu Xingzuo was transferred away, no one convinced Liu Xingzhi, and a mutiny occurred.

Liang Tingdong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, recommended Huanglong as the commander-in-chief to guard Phi Island.

What Huanglong practiced was Mao Wenlong's old method, but he didn't have Mao Wenlong's ability. He forced his soldiers to dig ginseng hungry, but they were killed by the Hou Jin army.

Then the angry soldiers surrounded the Yamen, tied Huanglong, threatened to cut Huanglong, and finally cut off the ears and noses.

Since Mao Wenlong was beheaded, Phi Island has become a tasteless one.

Because no one can lead the generals, not only can't delay the gold, but also cause all kinds of troubles for the Ming court, and repeated mutinies.

The whole Phi Island was boiling, and the North Korean side was also anxious, fearing that the rebels would attack North Korea, so they sent heavy troops to guard the place.

Shang Kexi heard about the mutiny, and rushed to Phi Island quickly, beheaded the rebels, spread the word to the Nine Sides, and rescued Huanglong.

However, there was no one available in the imperial court, so Huang Long could only continue to serve as the chief soldier.

This time Huanglong seized the opportunity to leave Phi Island, and he led his troops to Lushun directly, saying that Kong Youde and others would definitely defect to Jianzhou through Lushun, and they needed soldiers to garrison here.

"Great Khan, Lushun is not only the gateway to Dengzhou, but also an important place to make progress!"

Huang Taiji nodded slightly: "It's not in a hurry, and when Kong Youde comes, Lushun can't hold on, so I'm stretching out my hand."
