The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 517 The Fall of Dengzhou
To be honest, the red gangsters in history are indeed tolerant. They can bear Zu Dashou's surrender and rebellion, and they can bear the rebellion and surrender again, and still keep the bones of this villain.

Against the main three parties at the end of the Ming Dynasty, he was stronger than Chongzhen and Li Zicheng in terms of strategy and mind, and Zhang Xianzhong and his like were even more memorable.

As soon as Hongxie came to power, he changed the old slave's usual style of massacring Han people wantonly. He adopted a soft policy, and the effect was good. Too many traitors who have forgotten their ancestors are determined to be slaves.

The traitors not only serve as slaves themselves, but also want tens of thousands of Han people to become Ahhas, and from time to time, they make a statement saying that the Kingdom of Jin is ordered by Heaven to destroy Ming and Dingding the world as soon as possible.

The wisdom of the slave chief is of course the misfortune of the Han people, and Huang Sheng's biggest and most vicious enemy is him.

Hongxie has been sending troops for a long time, and the veterans of the division are tired, and there is a possibility that Jinzhou will surrender without a fight.

Ever since, Jiannu withdrew, also because Hongjie was not at ease with the more than 100 million Koreans in the new territory, and it was urgent to return to "Xinjing" to consolidate the Jin regime.

Because the slave chief knew that the Goryeo people were not obsessed with surrender, but because the Dajin Kingdom killed more than [-]% of the Goryeo men, they were just scared of being killed.

Once the deterrence of force is provoked, the counterattacking Koreans will retaliate wildly against the people of Dajin. At that time, everyone in the Dajin Kingdom will die without a place to bury them!

----

The sad Ming Dynasty does not need to use troops in Liaodong for the time being, but wants to suppress the rebellion in the interior of Shandong.

All the news from the court was bad, and at the end of the year, it was finally the end of the year, and there was a good news from Mr. Huang Sheng in the South China Sea.

After bitter battles, the Ming armies of Guangdong and Guangxi wiped out [-] coalition forces of Guo Huaiyi and Dayue Kingdom at the cost of [-] casualties. They fought across the Red River and threatened the capital of Dayue Kingdom "Tokyo", gaining more than [-] troops.

Huang Sheng didn't want to kill too much, but it's a pity that the Li people, wolf soldiers, and white soldiers were too fierce, and they often couldn't hold back their moves.

Choosing this time period to repay the victory, of course, Huang Sheng made sure to deliver the harvest to the court to repay the merits before the Chinese New Year, so that Emperor Chongzhen could have a happy New Year.

The report of "Victory in the South China Sea" was delivered to the Ministry of War, and the court was shocked for a while. Mr. Huang Sheng was too capable of killing. In addition to this time's harvest, the number of enemy heads was close to [-].

Mr. Huang is also too careless, how can he indiscriminately penetrate hundreds of miles into the interior of Dayue, and even threaten other people's capital.

The backs of the princes of Dagon and Gun are cold, everyone thinks that it is hurting the peace of heaven, and everyone is worried that Ming Dynasty will start another war in southern Xinjiang.

After all, Emperor Chongzhen was young, so of course he supported Daming if he could feel proud. Moreover, Huang Sheng did not urge troops to urge food and pay, and the Dayue Kingdom did not take any retaliatory measures after being beaten by the Marquis of Nan'an.

It can be seen from this that the Marquis of Nan'an should be advocating the prestige of the Ming Dynasty to foreign countries and declaring sovereignty over the South China Sea.

Emperor Chongzhen issued a decree to praise the Marquis of Nan'an and his civil servants. He knew that it was only a matter of time before the South China Sea was pacified.

There is a big event in Denglai, and the honest man Sun Yuanhua still has illusions about Kong Youde, and he is ready to appease him, but he doesn't know that the rebels who have released the demons in their hearts are not human at all.

At this time, Kong Youde is a villain who refuses to be recruited at all. Seeing that the Ming army along the way is as easy to fight as chickens and dogs, he has the fantasy of colluding with the old armed forces of Dongjiang Town to split the soil and seal the king.

The complacent Kong Youde and Li Jiuzheng besieged Dengzhou with their troops.The chaotic rebel team could not be seen for a while, and there were women's cries and screams in the team.

Since Li Jiuzheng was the head of the bandit who provoked the rebellion, he now has a lot of authority, and he is likely to fight against Kong Youde.

Facing the imminent attack on Jiancheng of Dengzhou, Li Jiuzheng took over the agitation on his behalf, Kong Youde watched coldly and held back.

Li Jiuzheng, with a hostile and murderous look on his face, was very attractive. He yelled in his male voice: "Boys, Dengzhou City is in front of me. I have been stationed there for two years. I think of the white and tender lady there. It's hot down there."

"Hahaha!..." The gangsters and hooligans laughed obscenely, and a green skin joked, "Marshal Li, you must have played with many young ladies from Dengzhou before, right?"

Li Jiuzheng spat heavily on the ground, and said: "You're just kidding, don't talk about Miss, even the maids and maidservants of those landlords, old rich men and doctors don't look at us."

A few prostitutes booed and said: "Marshal Li and his brothers will rush to Dengzhou. Brothers will catch all the little ladies who gave Marshal a look at them before, strip them naked and let you play with them."

Seeing that the army's mind can be bewitched, Li Jiucheng said: "Dengzhou is much more prosperous than the counties laid down along the way. I estimate that there are no less than five or six million taels of gold and silver in this city."

Thousands of rebels below began to salivate, and a few prostitutes began to yell: "Come into Dengzhou City, sleepy woman, grab the white money!"

The slogans of thousands of thieves gathered into one voice: "Kill kill, kill, grab, grab, sleep, sleep, brothers, don't be afraid of death, kill men and sleep women, grab gold and silver as soon as possible!"

From this, it can be seen that the policy of the rebel army is simple and clear, just three words: "kill, rob, and sleep!"

Kong Youde didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he, the Marshal Kong in the mouth of the thieves, didn't say a word. He thought he was a member of the imperial court, and he despised Li Jiuzheng for being so shameless.

The question is who is shameless and who is strong enough. Li Jiuzheng has the appetite of too many people who have served him. Even Dongjiang soldiers who have been suppressed for many years like Li Jiuzheng's style.

If he restrains his subordinates at this time, his authority will plummet, and it is very likely that he will be ostracized by Li Jiuzheng.

Sun Yuanhua, governor of Denglai, saw the rebels clamoring "kill, rob, and sleep!" coming all over the mountains and plains, his illusion of recruiting was shattered, and he was a little out of control.

He urgently ordered Zhang Tao to lead the Liao soldiers to guard outside the city of Dengzhou, leaving Zhang Keda, the commander-in-chief, to send troops to fight in Dengzhou city.

It's a pity that Sun Yuanhua is a scientist and not a military strategist, not even Zhao Kuo. At this time, the rebel army is strong, and it is the best policy to stick to the city and wait for reinforcements.

Zhang Tao's troops and Kong Youde's subordinates were old acquaintances who lived together in the camp, and those Liao soldiers complained a lot.

When they saw that Kong Youde's rebellion, all the lowly soldiers could "kill, rob, and sleep!" Under the huge temptation of the great three-character policy, the Liao soldiers immediately turned to join the rebels and began to "kill, rob, and sleep" unscrupulously. ".

Zhang Tao's seemingly ferocious servant was beheaded by the Dongjiang soldiers swarming up. In a hurry, he himself was brought down by the rebels three or two times before he even had time to swing the Qi knife.

Seeing that the Ming army who went out of the city to attack the rebels became the reinforcements of the rebels, and General Zhang Tao, who was in charge of the army, became a prisoner and tied into rice dumplings, the Dengzhou defenders were immediately discouraged.

How can the combat effectiveness of the Shandong Ming army under the command of the commander-in-chief Zhang Keda compare with those Dongjiang soldiers who have fought fiercely with Jiannu for many years?

Geng Zhongming, who was Mao Wenlong's adopted son with Kong Youde, was in charge of the Dengzhou Central Army. Chen Guangfu, Ma Weicheng, the former generals of Dongjiang Town, and others were military officers with hundreds of soldiers. They immediately raised fire and opened the gate of Dengzhou city to welcome the rebels.

In January of the fifth year of Chongzhen, the fortified city of Dengzhou fell. Kong Youde captured 7000 people from the Ming army, rounded up 2000 reinforcements, captured 24 horses, [-] Hongyi cannons, and [-] Flang cannons. There are also matchlock guns, gunpowder, and all kinds of firearms.
