The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 518

The reason why there are so many cannons in Dengzhou is entirely because the governor admired firearms. The cannons purchased, developed and imitated by Sun Yuanhua are all cheaper than Dongjiang Town's anti-guzi.

Zhang Keda, the current commander-in-chief of Denglai who once served as the governor of Jinyiwei in Nanjing, saw that the situation was over. He was loyal to Daming and refused to surrender to the bandits. He beheaded his concubine Chen and all the maids in his family, and hanged himself.

Of course, Sun Yuanhua wanted to die, but unfortunately he was a literati after all, and he couldn't commit suicide with cruel hands, so he didn't die.

He refused to compromise with the rebels and angrily reprimanded Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng.

Kong Youde received a lot of favors from him, so he had no words to answer. Although Li Jiuzheng was violent and murderous, at this time he was scolded by Sun Yuanhua, and he didn't even get angry at all, and his playful smile didn't take it to heart.

The rebels in Dongjiang Town did not embarrass Sun Yuanhua, and put him under house arrest in the mansion, and all expenses were given favorably.

The most ridiculous thing is that the Ming army almost surrendered or fled in anticipation, while the Haojingaofulang robots hired by Sun Yuanhua in the city were fighting desperately.

They were not afraid of the rebels coming in waves, fired artillery to bombard the enemy, and fought until the fort, which was not protected by the Ming infantry, was captured.

Twelve Xiyi mercenaries including Xilaojing, Lu Weilue, and Fulang Yalanda were killed and 15 were seriously injured.

It can be seen that Huang Sheng was right to leave the captive Xiyi to join the army, and their fighting will is still quite good.

In fact, Zhang Ke is very talented, but it is a pity that Sun Yuanhua, the governor, cheated himself and the chief military officer by the way.

Therefore, it is most important for people to use their talents. Sun Yuanhua can be the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, or even the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, but he cannot be in charge of one party, let alone lead troops to fight.

Kong Youde's rebel army suddenly swelled several times, and the number of troops has reached [-]. These riots broke out and bloodbathed Dengzhou City. This relatively affluent Daming City has no less than [-] soldiers and civilians.

In the past, soldiers from the Dongjiang River were often looked down upon by the officials and ordinary people in Dengzhou city, and they were also bullied a lot. Retaliatory massacres and looting resulted in the death of more than half of the residents of Dengzhou.

The gold and silver treasures confiscated by Kong Youde's department were as fine as three to five million taels of silver. Women were crying, pleading, and screaming everywhere on the street, and Dongjiang soldiers were everywhere laughing cruelly like Jiannu.

Dengzhou City in January of the fifth year of Chongzhen was undoubtedly a hell on earth, and the instigator was Yuan Chonghuan.

At the same time, Deputy General Chen of Lvshun of Dongjiang Town and Deputy General Mao Chenglu of Guanglu Island, who had a good relationship with Kong Youde, also raised troops to respond.

The Ministry developed into an army of 8000 people in one fell swoop, and at one time segregated most of Dongjiang Town, trying to echo the Shandong rebels from north to south, in an attempt to establish a country of their own by the Liaodong Wu people.

Huang Long, the current commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town, doesn't have the talent of Mao Wenlong. He was beaten for a while, and only the single base of Phi Island and a few guerrilla generals were left struggling to support him.

He dispatched deputy generals Shen Shikui, Shang Kexi, Jin Shenghuan, etc. to pacify the islands, but Shang Kexi was at odds with Shen Shikui, who used to be a nepotism in Dongjiang Town.

Deputy General Shen Shikui had a daughter who married Mao Wenlong as a concubine, and she always regarded herself as a foreign relative.

Shen Shikui was suspicious of Shang Kexi, and conspired to capture Shang Kexi and swallow his men and horses, but unfortunately his plan was not kept secret and his subordinates deliberately leaked the secret.

Shang Kexi preemptively killed Shen Shikui in one fell swoop, swallowed Shen Shikui's soldiers and horses, and then attacked Pidao. This former Dongjiang Town headquarters had long since lost the rigor of Mao Shuai.

Phi Dao has just wiped out Liu Xingzhi's brother's rebellion and hasn't recovered yet. How can Shang Kexi's sharp attack be resisted?

What's more, only the people brought by Huanglong on the island are willing to fight.

Huang Long, the commander-in-chief of the airborne army, was already unconvincing. In addition, he was too greedy and embezzled, so he was unpopular at all.

Completely different from history, the original conflict between Shang Kexi and Shen Shikui broke out only in the seventh year of Chongzhen, which finally led to him taking away his headquarters and returning to Houjin.It is not at all conspiring with Kong Youde to conspire together.

The sad Ming Dynasty was too unlucky. In the fifth year of Chongzhen, many rebellious people in Dongjiang Town broke out.

The three mines in Liaodong were too lucky. The main force of the Huang family’s navy was in the South China Sea to fight against the Great Viet Kingdom. A small number of naval divisions went to Hirado, Japan to assist Li Guozhu in capturing the base area. Those left behind in the Liaohai Sea were all old-fashioned warships, and the number was limited. , can only protect itself.

Knowing that Denglai and Dongjiang towns are fighting in a mess, the Huang family system is also extremely tense, afraid of being affected by military disasters, the dogs will bite people when they are crazy!
Huangjiawan Island is a key point of defense. Warships are cruising around the island, and all the townspeople on the island have taken up arms to prepare for the invasion of the rebels in Dongjiang Town.

In March of the fifth year of Chongzhen, He Xiang, who was staying at Huangjiawan Island, received the envoy Shang Kexi, the former deputy general of Guanglu Island of the Ming Dynasty.

They came in a small boat with a white flag, and a group of more than a dozen people saw the heavily guarded Huangjiawan Island, and saw the black muzzles in the bastion sticking out their tongues.

No wonder their leader Shang Kexi swept across the Liaohai Islands, but he dared not touch the territory of the "God of War" Master Huang. With Dongjiang Town's strength, it really couldn't take down the island of Huang's family.

Several messengers respectfully presented the delectable letters, and each of them stood with their hands down, waiting for a reply from a woman who was too beautiful to be in charge of the Huang family.

Huang Mingli went to Japan to fight in Hirado, the doctor Chuer went to the head of the Cochin Club, and He Xiang, who was not reinstated after giving birth and stayed at home, was of course the decision maker of Huangjiawan Island.

Huangjiawan Island has only two hundred generals, and not many high-level townspeople. Now all the teachers in the school are organized, and the skilled workers and master-level townspeople who were not willing to use them before took up their flintlocks one by one. training camp.

The situation is critical, and Huang Sheng, who refuses to join the battle until the critical moment, has become the mainstay of Huangjiawan Island's garrison force at this moment.

Their enthusiasm and loyalty to participate in the war are impeccable, and their combat skills exceed the standards of high-level township warriors, because they have trained for many years after all, and they are all cultural people.

He Xiang has experienced too many wars with the Patriarch in the South and North, and knows that Huangjiawan Island's existing strength is used to defend the land, and the enemy's 10 troops will be in vain.

After all, there are [-] people here, [-] senior Xiangyong went to Jiaozhi Tuotu, there are still about [-] here, and there are no less than [-] men and women who can shoot with flintlock guns.

He Xiang has her own strength, and within forty steps she can shoot with a double-barreled blunderbuss without missing a beat. He Xiang, who is holding Zhizhu, is welcome to make her calm and calm.

He Xiang calmly read Shang Kexi's letter, which stated the unfair treatment in Dongjiang Town, and begged the Huang family to be considerate, and promised not to attack any islands actually controlled by the Huang family, even Mi Island would go around.

Huang Sheng's prestige has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Dongjiang Town, but it is gratifying that even if they plan to attack the Huang family, they will not get any response. Too many warlords of Dongjiang Town have come to Huangjiawan Island, and they think that they will get nothing if they come to attack.

The 10,000+ elders in Dongjiang Town have received the favor of the Huang family. Dongjiang soldiers respect the "God of War" like a god, and it is almost impossible to actively provoke the Huang family.

The rebel general of Dongjiang town thought it over and felt that repairing it was the best policy, and he only asked the Huang family to remain neutral, and it would be lucky if they didn't come to beat them.

He Xiang is just the patriarch's concubine, she only thinks in her heart that if the patriarch is not around, she must guard her own property, and has no thought of suppressing thieves to solve the court's problems.

All she could think about was the Huang family's three-acre land, so she didn't care too much.

Considering that the Huang family's horses and warships are now on an expedition, and they have no ability to attack the rebels, she verbally agreed to Shang Kexi's messenger and asked them to promise not to attack the merchant ships of "Huang Jiahai's operation".

In the end, Wang Dawan, who was born as a great craftsman and now works part-time as the defense officer of Huangjiawan Island, warned the messengers of Dongjiang Town with righteous words to avoid killing and meet each other. It is possible to stay alive.

The messengers obediently agreed with smiling faces. Although they didn't get a reply from Huang's family, they got a message to return to Pidao.
