Chapter 438: Reckoning
The sentinel boats will play a greater role when they enter the Yangtze River in the future, and these small boats with a load of 30 tons can carry 30 or 50 people up the river to the stone pillars.
When going down the river, I am afraid that there will be a speed at which the apes on both sides of the strait cannot stop crying, and the light boat has passed the ten thousand mountains.
Huang Han knew that in history, Kong Youde became the boss of the rebel army when Li Jiucheng was killed, and abandoned Dengzhou in early February, when the sea had just thawed in the sixth year of Chongzhen, and fled from the sea with a large number of gold, silver, treasures, artillery and family members, totaling more than 10,000 people, on nearly 100 merchant ships and warships.
When calculating Kong Youde, it is necessary to take precautions, and it is also to prevent historical deviations that lead to the early departure of the Denglai rebels.
Therefore, the "Red Banner Army" sentinel ships took turns to keep an eye on Dengzhou Shuicheng around the clock, the purpose of which was to obtain information as soon as the rebels went to sea to join Jiannu, and to be able to choose the best time to intercept and kill them.
It's just that I don't know if there is no Zu Dale who shot Li Jiucheng in the Guanning army, will the self-proclaimed generalissimo Li Jiucheng die in front of the battle?
If Li Jiucheng does not die, I am afraid that it will not be Kong Youde's turn to be the rebel's eldest brother, and Li Jiucheng also has his son Li Yingyuan as his successor, as long as he dies a few years later, the successor will definitely be Li Yingyuan, and it will not be Kong Youde's turn anyway.
After receiving Huang Han's guidance and promise, Fang Zhenghua and Li Ruolian, as well as Lou Yun and Ai Guodong, were all overjoyed.
The overwhelming strength of the Denglai rebels has been successfully contained by the Guanning army, and the siege of Jielai Prefecture should be around the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, and finally the rebels will retreat to Dengzhou and resist stubbornly.
The imperial army suffered losses in the mutual shelling with the rebels near Laizhou, and because of the sharp artillery fire of the rebels, they were repeatedly defeated and lost their troops, and also led to the capture of the rebels by the rebels when Chongzhen specially sent the lieutenant to escort the six Hongyi cannons to the front line.
Now the Ming army members on the Denglai front are asking for reinforcements and artillery fire.
Historically, it is also because of the protracted loss of troops and generals in Denglai's rebellion, on July 23, the fifth year of Chongzhen, the angry Chongzhen Emperor beheaded Sun Yuanhuawen and abandoned the city.
The Shenji Battalion had a large number of artillery pieces, and the emperor did not agree to send the Shenji Battalion for the time being because he was worried that these cannons would be taken away by the rebels again.
Fang Zhenghua is one of the great eunuchs of the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the eunuch of the Celebrant Bingbi, and the new army trained is the warrior battalion and the four guard battalions under the direct management of the Imperial Horse Supervisor in the Beijing camp, with 6,000 men and horses.
Li Ruolian was ordered by the emperor to train at least 3,000 Jinyi Guard captains who could fight on the spot.
Now that the two of them have achieved a little success in training, they jointly requested to lead the new army to prepare to go to Denglai to participate in the war in the name of war training, and the emperor would think that the sleepiness had sent a pillow, and he would definitely give a compliment, and agreed to send troops to Dengzhou immediately.
Chongzhen trusted Fang Zhenghua and Li Ruolian, and with them personally leading thousands of new troops to participate in quelling the rebellion with the Shenji Battalion, which had a large number of Hongyi cannons, what else did the emperor have to worry about?
Thinking that this plan must be effective, Fang Zhenghua took Li Ruolian's hand and stood up and raised his glass and said, "Lord Huang, our family toasts you!" We just admire your resourcefulness.
Everyone only saw that Denglai was full of displaced people and that the food supply was difficult, and how easy it was to see that Dengzhou was thick and high and had hundreds of artillery.
Only you can judge that a small half of Shandong's wealth has accumulated in this strong city, and you will not worry about military salaries within a few years of laying down here. ”
Li Ruolian, who was drunk, clinked his glass and said: "There's nothing to say, we are good brothers, we will never forget our brother when we go to Dengzhou to make a fortune, and we will double the food we eat from the 'Red Flag Army'."
Where is the combat effectiveness of the rebel army comparable to Jiannu, we will have to kill an unknown number of mortals when we go to Dengzhou this time, hahaha......"
Huang Han said: "You remember, Denglai City has thick walls and sharp artillery fire, which is really difficult to attack, but the rebels have a fatal shortcoming, and there is no food in Dengzhou City.
The Denglai rebellion has been nearly a year old, and the grain production has been delayed for a whole year, resulting in a serious food shortage.
Tens of thousands of rebels and horses are cowering in Dengzhou, and the grain storage will definitely not last for a few days, and they will eventually give up Dengzhou because they can't stand it because they are hungry.
As long as you grasp the fighter and launch a fierce attack while the rebels are fleeing, who can tell whether the rebels were beaten away by the two or starved? ”
Fang Zhenghua laughed at the top of his voice, which made people feel creepy, and he said: "General Pingliao is too vicious, but he is very angry with our family, our family just likes you like you, and I hate sanctimonious doctors the most." ”
Damn! Huang Han even thought about how to break the city, and at this time, if he didn't try his best to ask to go to Denglai to participate in the war, take the low-hanging fruit of recovering Dengzhou City, and seize those millions of taels of gold and silver treasures, wouldn't he be sorry for the ancestors?
The Jinyiwei and the generals of the Beijing camp who came to drink were all as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they were all drinking, and the liquor "General Triumph" produced by the Huang family was child's play, and a small half of them were put down on the spot.
are all martial artists, a few glasses of wine suddenly feel proud, and those who have not fallen are singing: "True love is like a vast grassland, layers of wind and rain cannot be blocked, there is always a ......time when the clouds open and the sun rises."
After the pirated version of the Huang Han Dynasty, a few songs were modified from the popular songs of later generations, and the civil officials and doctors thought that they were minor keys and could not be elegant, but the warriors loved to sing them without exception.
The common people are not very elegant, everyone doesn't know much about the spring and white snow, they are all lower riba people, and they always like to come to a few easy-to-understand lyrics and songs pirated by Huang Han.
At this time, Begonia had already brought dozens of warblers and Yanyan in, and a group of martial artists were even more profligate, and it didn't take long for someone to flirt and scold, estimating that there were many people staying in Yichun Courtyard tonight.
Huang Han was also happy in his heart, he couldn't get the benefits of Dengzhou City, and he didn't cheapen the Guan Ning army, but let the friendly army and good friends take advantage of it!
With Fang Zhenghua and Li Ruolian leading their men and horses to compete for merit with the artillery of the Shenji Battalion, Gao Qiqian will definitely fade out of the emperor's sight, after all, Fang and Li are Jane's big celebrities in the emperor's heart.
It's just that I don't know if Wu Sangui will see the wind and make the rudder come to recognize Fang Zhenghua as a godfather?
After the banquet and returned home, the two brothers Sun Heding and Sun Hedou had been waiting for a long time, they came to send generous gifts to thank their uncle for saving their father's great kindness, and also asked their uncle to take care of their father who went to Ningyuan to serve in the army, because they knew that their father needed to have meritorious service in order to truly avoid death.
Mixing credit in the army is not a matter of the commander's words?
Huang Han is now a rich man, how could he covet the 10,000 taels of silver that the Sun family scraped together, but Huang Han did not help in vain, and directly ordered Sun Hedou to go back to Songjiang Mansion to do business.
Sun Hedou's mission was to go to Songjiang Mansion to purchase the latest looms, and recruit a dozen senior weavers and master craftsmen who built looms to work in Tiger's Den City.
These things are too simple, the Sun family has a weaving factory, their own loom is the most advanced, and the master is also ready-made.
