Chapter 194: Escape from Dengzhou 3
readx; readx; After the fall of Dengzhou, Sun Yuan was trapped, but Yu Dacheng, the governor of Shandong, was helpless, and only knew how to practice and chant behind closed doors all day long, and was ridiculed as "White Lotus Щщщш.. lāΩΩ
On the thirteenth day of the first month of the fifth year of Chongzhen, the rebels reorganized their forces and sent troops from Dengzhou to attack Huangxian. Yu Dacheng, the www.biquge.info of the pen, was dismissed from his post and sent to the capital to be punished, and Sun Yuanhua, who was still in Dengzhou, was also dismissed from his post as governor of Denglai.
On the 29th, the general army Yang Yufan led the Tongzhou soldiers, Wang Hong led the Tianjin soldiers and the rebels in the new town 80 miles away from Ye County, at that time the rebels had 5,000 cavalry and more than 10,000 foot soldiers, and the Ming army only had less than 1,000 cavalry and less than 4,000 foot soldiers. The Ming army finally scattered, and only Yang Yufan led 300 soldiers to retreat to Laizhou.
On the first day of February, Xu Congzhi, the newly appointed governor of Shandong, and Xie Lian, the governor of Denglai, both arrived in Laizhou.
On March 27, Liu Yulie, a squire of the Ministry of War, swore to march from the capital to Laizhou as a supervisor, and mobilized reinforcements and volunteer soldiers from Jimen, Miyun and other places, with a total of 25,000 horse infantry, accompanied by six Hongyi cannons specially allocated by Chongzhen, and the reinforcements of the imperial court gathered in Laizhou.
Perhaps it was the butterfly wings of Xia Nan that played a role, the rebels did not besiege Laizhou as in the original history, but divided into two roads and went around the city, Li Jiucheng led his troops to attack Pingdu Prefecture, and Kong Youde led his troops to attack Qixia, so that Xu Congzhi and Xie Lian welcomed the two governors. In view of the experience of Yang Yufan and Wang Hong, the defenders of Laizhou City did not dare to go out of the city to fight with the rebels before the arrival of Liu Yulie's army, and could only watch the surrounding states and counties being captured one by one, and the letters asking for help were sent to Laizhou like snowflakes, but they could not do anything.
The rebels did not attack Laizhou according to the original history, but were blessed by misfortune and avoided being dragged by Laizhou to hold all their troops and fight a head-on battle with the heavy troops of the imperial court. In the process of attacking Zhou County, Li Jiucheng and other rebel generals not only made a lot of money, but the rebel army's strength also grew like a snowball, and by the beginning of March, the entire three eastern prefectures of Shandong, except for Laizhou City, were all under the control of the rebels. Not only were officials slaughtered everywhere, but wealthy merchants and landlords were also ruined, peasant tenants were arrested, and vast tracts of fertile land became borderless. dudu1;
In Dengzhou City, Wang Bao took advantage of the promises of the rebels won by Xia Nan to show his followers. After the massacre and looting of Dengzhou, many people also needed a faith support, and they joined Wang Bao's army of believers, and Wang Bao was also full of brains.
Since leaving Bofu Port on the "Yangming", Xia Nan has left Lingao for almost half a year, and Yang Youji has been away for two months. Just when the rebels and Wang Bao were busy, he finally got the good news of his own - Bai Lian stayed in the dark line near Huangxian County to connect with Yang Youji, and he had the opportunity to return to Lingao.
When she heard the news, Xia Nan almost burst into tears. Being in the midst of the rebels, the news from Lingao is so kind. Here, every day you have to be scared, and you have to live like a year, how can you be at ease when you are the overlord of your own land in Lingao. Of course, this trip to the rebel camp was decided by oneself, and the path chosen by oneself must be completed with tears.
Yang was sent by the Kittos and still ascended 6 from Huang County, avoiding the rebels in Dengzhou. Although Huangxian was defeated by the rebels, the rebels only looted, and the main force had already left, so it was relatively safe at the moment. Xia Nan decided to leave from Huang County, and the most important thing now was to go to Huang County to connect with Yang Youji and others.
When passing by the front yard, Sun Yuanhua was pacing in the courtyard. Seeing him appear, he stretched out his hand to stop him and said to him, "Brother Xia, stay here, the old man has something to say to you." ”
Xia Nan was a little embarrassed: "Master Sun, I have some personal matters, can you wait for me to come back?" ”dudu2;
"The old man is no longer the governor, don't call him that. I have thought about these words for a long time, and I can only say it to you, and I want you to tell Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde. Sun Yuanhua's words were gentle, but his attitude was firm.
When it comes to the rebels, Xia Nan has to pay attention to it, he thinks about it and agrees to come down.
In the flower hall, Sun Yuanhua made a pot of tea with his own hands and poured a cup for Xia Nan. Although the rebels put him under house arrest, they did not deduct food and clothing. Xia Nan looked at Sun Yuanhua, who seemed to be ten years old, and sighed, the governor who used to live eight with heavy troops in his hands was now reduced to making tea for himself with his own hands. took off the official robe of the fourth rank officer, and he was just an ordinary old man.
"Although I am trapped in this square inch, the news has not stopped. Li Jiucheng, the traitor, is now perverse, and the lives of the three mansions in the East are ruined, I feel very guilty, this criminal karma is all caused by me, if it wasn't for my original thought, I wanted to appease this traitor, and it would not have caused today's situation. ”
"It's not your fault, with Li Jiucheng's character, sooner or later he will make trouble, it's just a matter of sooner or later." Summer South soothed.
"You don't have to say this to comfort me. I think about it, the rebel army is now very difficult to control, and the soldiers who can fight in the imperial court are all in Liaodong, if the troops from other places are mobilized to Shandong, I am afraid that it will not be possible to achieve a result in a year and a half. In order to share the worries of the imperial court, I decided to let Li Thief let me go back to the imperial court, persuade the lords of the court, appease the rebels, and let the officials and people of Shandong get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible. ”dudu3;
Summer South was silent. Although history is a little different from the original instigated by the wings of its own butterfly, strong inertia still exists. Sun Yuanhua took the initiative to return to Beijing to state the reason, he would return to the original trajectory of history, and as soon as he arrived in the capital, he would inevitably be framed and imprisoned by Wen Tiren and his faction, and finally lost his life in vain. He has done so many things, a considerable part of which is to save his life, and he must not be allowed to kill himself. But how do you open your mouth and talk to him?
It is estimated that it will be difficult to persuade him not to return to the capital, this kind of civilian official is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, and it is difficult to change his mind when he makes up his mind, let alone to save the people of Li from such a righteousness? It doesn't seem to work to persuade him directly to go to Lingao, even if he is dismissed, the hairless phoenix is still a phoenix, and it is impossible to fly on the branch of his own country overlord.
I'm about to run away, and I don't have time to grind this water grinding kung fu with him, so I just get it back to Lingao. Thinking that Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde led the army out of the city to rob, the rebel important figures were not in Dengzhou City, and Sun Yuanhua was under house arrest and could not directly contact the rebels, so he could be in this chapter.
"Otherwise, I'll go to Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde to talk about this and see what they say?"
"Good. Although Kong Youde is in cahoots with Li Jiucheng, he still has a little affection for me, and I don't think he will object. As for Li Jiucheng, he still wants to be appeased in the end, but he just wants to sell it for a good price. I don't want to be part of them, and it's useless to trap me here, so instead of killing me with a knife, let me go and make a deal with them, and they'll all agree. ”
The truth is true, your old man was sent back to the court by the rebels, and then his head was cut off by the emperor, Xia Nan replied in his heart.
"Alright, I'll go to them, I'll be back to you as soon as I have any news."
