Han ride

Chapter 222
Different from Liu Yulie and Wu Anbang, there was cheers in Dengzhou City. Li Xin exchanged recruits for veterans by stealing beams and posts, and successfully defeated Mao Chenglu with his navy and relieved the rebels' attack on Dengzhou. As a result, the people of Dengzhou were able to come and go freely in Dengzhou, and the news that Li Xin came here to provide relief quickly spread throughout Dengzhou, and many victims of the disaster in Shandong came to Dengzhou.

"My lord, we eliminated Mao Chenglu this time, and now that old boy Su Yougong probably won't be able to sleep at night." Zhang Wu said triumphantly.After following Li Xin this time, he beheaded a lieutenant general, two guerrilla generals, and many other soldiers. These achievements are no less than beheading on the grassland.

"Although Mao Chenglu was defeated, Mao Chenglu was just a dog of Kong Youde. We defeated his minions. The next step we have to face is Kong Youde. Now Laizhou is still in the hands of the imperial court. If Kong Youde wants to leave Shandong, the only What can be done is to seize the place to go to sea from our side, and we have few troops, and the next one to attack is our Laizhou." Li Xin thought for a while, and said to Sun Yinglong: "This land of Denglai, Speaking of which, it is also the rear of Liaodong, you are from Pidao, you can understand the garrisons in Shandong, where are there troops stationed near Dengzhou and Laizhou?"

"Returning to the general, in Shandong, each prefecture has guards, especially Dengzhou and Laizhou. The imperial court once set up coastal defenses in Ninghai, Wendeng, Haiyang and other places for coastal defense. In each guard, there are guards. Three thousand to five thousand." Sun Yinglong said hastily.

"Are there still many soldiers and horses in these coastal defense posts?" Li Xin shook his head in disbelief. The emperor Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't set up the guards. The army of the Ming Dynasty implemented the Weisuo system.One prefecture set up offices, and several prefectures set up guards.The guards set up commanders and commanded 600 soldiers.There are thousands of households under the guard, and there are hundreds of households under the thousand households.The prefectural and county guards are under the jurisdiction of the commanders and divisions of the commanders, and the commanders of the capitals are under the jurisdiction of the governors of the five central armies.The guards in Kyoto are divided into two types: one is the Beijing Army and the three battalions are the elite of the national army; the other is the emperor's pro-army.Soldiers have military status, are hereditary soldiers, and usually garrison or garrison.In case of war, the imperial court ordered the general to lead the soldiers dispatched from the self-defense and military camps to fight.The Weisuo system is somewhat similar to the Shibing system, and is similar to the Fubing system in the Tang Dynasty. After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, most of the farmland was swallowed up by officers, and the sergeants went bankrupt and fled, leaving only government offices.Li Xin had also seen and understood the guards of the Ming Dynasty back then, and in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, it was impossible for there to be many soldiers in such guards.So he didn't have much hope for the guard that Sun Yinglong mentioned.

"General, if it's other local guards, I can't guarantee it in the end, but the guards in Denglai, Shandong and other places don't have much vacancy." Sun Yinglong said loudly: "Master Sun Yuanhua used to train troops in Denglai, Shandong. The guard house has been cleaned up."

"Can it form combat power?" Li Xin thought for a while, there are records of people like Sun Yuanhua training soldiers, but I don't know, can such a guard army go to the battlefield?
"I don't know the general." Sun Yinglong originally wanted to answer with confidence, but when he thought about Li Xin's military training methods, he really didn't know whether the soldiers in the several guards met Li Xin's requirements.

"Report." At this time, a shrill voice came, but You Yebu Shou broke in.

"Report to the general, there is news from the front that Mr. Liu Yulie, Minister of the Ministry of War, defeated Laizhou, and only dozens of soldiers and horses fled to Ninghai. Kong Youde's army is attacking Laizhou. General Yang Yufan is in a bitter battle." Yebushou said loudly.

"What a fool, I didn't expect to lose." Li Xin said viciously.Although he also thought that Liu Yulie might be fooled, but when he was really fooled, he realized how painful it is to meet a teammate who is like a pig.

"My lord, it doesn't matter whether he is defeated or not. Now that we have occupied Dengzhou, according to my lord's instructions, we will go around to provide disaster relief and save the people in Shandong. My lord's sageness will definitely be famous at home and abroad." Zhang Wu didn't care, but Li Although Xin is also a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, but to be honest, which one of Li Xin and his subordinates recognizes the court?
"Kong Youde can't let him escape." Li Xin shook his head. If it was purely an internal rebellion in the Ming Dynasty, such as Li Zicheng, Li Xin would definitely not care about these things.The weakening of the strength of the Ming court was a good thing for Li Xin, but Kong Youde was different.What Li Xin hated the most were traitors.

"My lord, what should I do about Su Yougong? If he stays in Dengzhou, he must be a disaster." Sun Yinglong said through gritted teeth.Su Yougong is also a member of Phi Island, and he surrendered to the rebels at this moment, which brought adverse effects to Phi Island.

"Now that Mao Chenglu has been defeated and left Laizhou, he will not appear in Dengzhou again in a short time. This time is just the time to deal with Su Yougong." Li Xin said with a gloomy expression, "You tell me about Shandong The first order is to order the local guards to garrison the local city. Without an order, they are not allowed to go out of the city to attack the rebels. The first priority is to defend the city. The second order is to send someone to tell Su Yougong immediately to surrender. If he does not surrender, we will Li Xin went out in person and led tens of thousands of cavalry from Liaodong to flatten Changshan Island. The third order was to order Liu Yulie and Wu Anbang to stick to Ninghai and Wendeng. If these cities were lost, they could flee to Beijing! Otherwise, I, Li Xin, will kill them. I also sent a letter to the court, asking them to order the Liaodong cavalry to arrive at Ninghai within a month. Mr. Zhang, have you made a note?"

"The students have already written it down." Zhang Cai said quickly from the side.

"Sun Yinglong, hurry up and send someone to do it!" Li Xin waved his hand, and then said to Zhang Wu: "Send a letter to Mr. Shi, asking him to send a team to Jinzhou as soon as possible. We are going back soon."

"Yes, my lord." Zhang Wu was overjoyed when he heard that, and hurried to work without mentioning it.

"Sir, do you think Su Yougong will surrender?" After everyone left, Li Xin looked at Zhang Cai with a smile and said.

"Yes, I just don't know how my lord is going to arrange Su Yougong?" Zhang Cai gave Li Xin a deep look, as if he was probing for something.

"Mister will see it soon." Li Xin stood up with a smile and left the mansion.

"It's really a generation of heroes. How could such a person appear in my Huanghuang Tian Dynasty? I don't know if such a person appeared. It's a good thing or a bad thing. Your Majesty, why is the world like this now?" Zhang Cai watched Li Xin leave Even he didn't know how Li Xin would arrange for Su Yougong after he surrendered.

On Changshan Island, Su Yougong stood in front of the military camp. Changshan Island is extremely huge, and some land on the island is suitable for farming, and because of its unique geographical location, there are not only a lot of farmland here, which is self-sufficient, but more importantly, Business is developed, and I don't know when merchants gathered here, and many merchants in Shandong have their own names here.Because there is still a little distance from the land, and there are not many roads to Liaodong, this also breeds smuggling.Even Shanxi's ticket numbers took root here.

In the past, Su Yougong and others came to Changshan Island and received a warm reception. Unfortunately, now that Su Yougong has become a rebel, the treatment is much worse. After such a long time, he has only maintained the surface Contact on .However, since Changshan Island was besieged, these merchants hid far away like a mouse seeing a cat, and would only report to the barracks unless Su Yougong forcibly summoned them.

"These guys, wait until Li Xin is dismissed, and then settle accounts with these guys." Su Yougong looked at his subordinates on the left and right, and said viciously.Today, he was going to call the shopkeepers together, so as to make a fortune, but unfortunately, no one came.He didn't even give himself an excuse.Su Yougong suddenly felt that something was wrong. If it was before, even if these people didn't come, they would still give money and so on.

"General, someone outside claimed to be an imperial envoy and came to see the general." At this time, a soldier outside said loudly.

"What kind of envoy from the imperial court, isn't it Li Xin's person? No, no." Su Yougong rolled his eyes and said coldly: "For the sake of the two countries' war, I will not kill the envoy. He's gone, let him roll as far as I can."

"General, since you are here, I think it's better to meet you." A general said cautiously.Su Yougong was about to get angry, but he never expected that the general's words would be recognized by everyone.

Su Yougong was stunned when he heard the words, a murderous intent flickered in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared without a trace.Instead, with a smile on his face, he smiled at the general and said, "Brother Hua is right. Come, let that envoy come in! This general wants to see what Li Xin wants to do?"

"The general is wise." The flower ginseng general obviously did not see the glimmer of murderous intent in Su Yougong's eyes, but said rather proudly.Complicated expressions appeared on the faces of the other generals. The current situation is not the time to fight for power. Changshan Island is currently under siege, and the enemy's strength is getting stronger and stronger. Although Changshan Island can be self-sufficient, in fact, like Such a siege will not last long. The key is the turmoil in the army.Now Li Xin's army is besieging Changshan Island, but they are besieging and not attacking. Everyone understands that Li Xin is not unsure of taking Changshan Island. On the contrary, he is trying to preserve his own strength and does not want too many casualties. That's all.It's just that as time went by, everyone's minds began to move.

Chapter 223 Going back

"You are Su Yougong?"

After a while, I saw a thin man barging in. This man has an ordinary appearance, but his hands are big, but there is a dull look in his eyes, and he is wearing only the very ordinary mandarin duck battle jacket of the Ming army.Everyone shook their heads immediately, this was just an ordinary soldier.

"Bold." Before Su Yougong could speak, the guards behind him were dissatisfied, pointing at the soldier and shouting loudly.

"Hmph, since you are Su Yougong, the villain told you one thing by the order of my master Jinglue, that is, Mao Chenglu has been defeated by us and fled to Laizhou alone. As for your life and death, it is up to you It's decided." The soldier glanced at everyone disdainfully, and said, "Master Jinglue gave you one day. If you haven't surrendered by this time tomorrow, you will attack Changshan Island by force. By then , that is to burn all jades and stones, without leaving one. Of course, it is also possible to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, and Master Jinglue will be rewarded according to his merits. At that time, those who do not want to be court generals can go to Guihua City. Hehe, I think you all know this .”

"You." Su Yougong's complexion changed drastically after hearing this.If it is said that the previous move was okay, but the latter one made him tremble with fear.
