Chapter 54 The Fall of Dengzhou

"Forget, you don't have enough experience in this matter. It's good to be able to do it now. After all, you haven't been to Shandong. You don't know the situation at sea and the situation of the sea ice in winter, so you made such a mistake!

Fortunately, it is timely to make up for it, which will not have much impact. It happens to be blessed by misfortune, so let the people on the other side of Shidao Bay rush to Xishan Village first, which saves a lot of time!

In addition, people on the other side of Fushan should specially deal with local relations and should not attract the attention of the local government. Even if they attract attention, they should find ways to cover it up. Don't be stingy if they should spend money to dredge it out.

While the sea ice has not melted over there, some more ships can be sent during this period, so that they can not sail into Jiaozhou Bay, and find some inconspicuous islands nearby to hide first. As long as the sea ice melts at the beginning, they can pass through ships, and these ships will immediately rush to Xishan Village to pick up the refugees.

In addition, we should pay special attention to the fact that once Dengzhou falls, the Dengzhou sailors in Dengzhou Water City may also change their owners. In addition, the defenders of the islands in the Bohai Sea are expected to be connected with the rebels. Their sailors there are still very strong. Be sure to send them as soon as possible after the beginning of spring. A capable and powerful detachment rushed to Yangma Island to defend.

In order to avoid the rebels or the Dongjiang army sending a navy warship to attack Yangma Island! If they dare to do it at sea, then let them taste the power of our naval cannons!

By the way, there is another one to add. Although Liu has done a good job during this period, he obviously lacks some experience in commanding so many people and dealing with such a big battle. In order to prevent mistakes, he should choose an experienced general to rush to the town.

The military is headed by the new person in the past, assisted by Liu, but other things continue to be hosted by Liu differently, and the two sides must cooperate well! Don't make mistakes because of the struggle for power! You have to explain this to the people sent there!" Yu Xiaotian did not scold Lin Yiyang too much, but arranged some things.

Lin Yiyang often breathes a sigh of relief. Yu Xiaotian does not seem to be the kind of unreasonable person. He knows how to understand the people who do things below and follow this kind of person, just to do things smoothly!

Under Xiaotian's arrangement, all kinds of things were directly intervened by Lin Yiyang. Fang An immediately began to dispatch manpower, materials and ships and began to operate. The director's hall also allocated silver and grain and other things to act together.

When the sea wolf began to operate, another line also began to act. The members of the sea wolf in the capital suddenly indirectly came to a command from Yu Xiaotian. After reading this order, the personnel in the capital immediately began to act and began to move in the capital through various relationships. Some people were invited to visit some important officials in Beijing.

And in the list of these people, the names of important ministers in the dynasty such as Zhou Yanru, Wentiren, Xu Guangqi and Bi Ziyan are listed one by one. Yu Xiaotian's name was once again remembered by these important ministers, but what they don't know is that the person who mentioned this person's name seems to have nothing to do with Yu Xiaotian, and it is not It's about this matter, but it's just like chatting casually. In short, these people have once again heard that there is such a general officer in Fujian who is good at fighting. He has a brave army under his command, and then they only wait for the situation in Shandong to develop.

When Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng led the rebels to defeat Zhang Keda's headquarters in Dengzhou Prefecture and recruited Zhang Tuo's troops, their troops strengthened again. The Liao people distributed around Dengzhou City came to attack one after another, which made the rebels stronger.

The rebels immediately besieged Dengzhou City and surrounded the whole Dengzhou City. At this time, Sun Yuanhua realized that he seemed to think the matter was a little too simple, but it was too late to regret at this time.

At this time, Sun Yuanhua also realized that these old Dongjiang troops were not available. Now even if he was willing to take down the old generals of the Dongjiang army in these armies, he was already a rat taboo and did not dare to act rashly.

Although there are still 20,000 officers and soldiers in the city, most of them are the old troops of Dongjiang that he has collected for more than half a year, and more than half of the army has been handed over to those old generals of Dongjiang.

These people are just like * in the city, and there is a possibility of thieves at any time. Now if possible, it is of course best to take them all and lock them up first, but does Sun Yuanhua dare?

If he shows a trace of distrust of these people now, it is estimated that he will immediately force these Liaodong soldiers in the city to defect to the enemy, so Sun Yuanhua can only be helpless. On the one hand, he is entangled to death, and on the other hand, he has to pretend to trust these people very much. He has to find ways to appease them every day. I hope this Some old troops of the Dongjiang Army can remember his kindness to these people and don't make a move to the enemy at this time.

However, Sun Yuanhua was finally disappointed. Although the rebels did not launch a fierce offensive after arriving in Dengzhou, the two sides only maintained a small-scale battle situation. It can be said that they had their own losses, but the losses were not large.

Such a confrontation did not last long. Geng Zhongming, Chen Guangfu and other generals guarding the east gate in the city finally remembered their old feelings with Kong Youde, Li Jiucheng and others, led their troops to open the east gate, cooperating inside and outside, and welcomed the rebels into the city.

Under the leadership of Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde, the rebels rushed in and had some fierce battles with some Shandong soldiers in the city, but the old parts of Dongjiang in the city immediately defected after seeing the rebels enter the city and began to slaughter the Shandong soldiers in the city and those gentry who had been angry with them in the city. The surname, even the small people in the city, have become the object of their revenge.

For a moment, the city of Dengzhou cried and howled, and the rebels' discipline was extremely corrupt. *, murderers, ** insulted women, and set fire everywhere. The streets were almost full of corpses, and even some children were not spared and were slaughtered by the rebels.

The officers and soldiers who refused to surrender in the city only resisted and failed. It is said that they are the old part of Dongjiang and Liaodong people. Even many local Shandong soldiers and local people have to bow down and surrender to the rebels in order to survive.

Zhang Ke, the general, saw the loss of the city, immediately killed his wife and concubine, and then hanged himself in his home in the city, which was regarded as loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

However, Sun Yuanhua finally fell into the hands of Kong Youde and the rebels, precisely because Yu Xiaotian expected that he was trapped by Catholic teachings, and it was difficult to make a decision whether to commit suicide in order to show loyalty or not to commit suicide according to the teachings.

That is, in hesitation, the rebels have invaded his governor's office, quickly killed his family and servants, captured them, and controlled Sun Yuanhua. At the same time, they also caught many local officials.

Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng, on the one hand, are also thinking about Sun Yuanhua's good treatment of them in the past, and on the other hand, they don't want to make things too rigid. After all, Sun Yuanhua is a governor. Killing Sun Yuanhua is equivalent to completely making things impossible to end, and they may be The back road of Zhao'an.

If they kill Sun Yuanhua, even if they accept the court's recruitment in the future, they still can't afford the charge of killing the important ministers of the court. The court can avoid the guilt of their subordinates, but it will never let them go.

Therefore, although they caught Sun Yuanhua, they did not kill Sun Yuanhua, but treated Sun Yuanhua and other officials well, and tried to persuade Sun Yuanhua to vote for them. They were willing to help Sun Yuanhua become king and take advantage of Sun Yuanhua's reputation to set up a country in Dengzhou as the capital for negotiations with the court.

However, Sun Yuanhua is still quite backbone. Although Li Jiucheng coerced and seduced him, he did not agree to Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde's proposal. He refused, and angrily scolded Li Jiucheng for wanting Li Jiucheng to kill him.

However, although Li Jiucheng was very angry, he did not dare to kill Sun Yuanhua. He could only lock Sun Yuanhua in the city first and treat him kindly.

This time, the rebels captured Dengzhou City. In addition to the collection of more than 10,000 officers and soldiers in Dengzhou City, they also obtained more than 20 Hongyi cannons, including those who were also arrested for Franco machine gunnery. In addition, there were more than 200 old light artillery guns, and more than 100,000 taels of silver that used to be used as military pay in the city, plus Hundreds of thousands of taels of money, more than 3,000 horses and tens of thousands of soldiers and grain were completely shaken at once, and they have a strong city that can be used as their stronghold and base.

In addition, they also occupied Dengzhou Water City. Because of the freezing of the sea, more than 100 warships of the Dengzhou Marine Division were trapped on the shore. More than 3,000 sailors also fled and defected to the enemy. The whole Dengzhou Marine Division has also become a bag of the rebels.

Of course, these warships of the Dengzhou Marine Division are naturally not comparable to the warships of the Southern Marine Division. Most of the warships here are small boats. Even if they are the largest warships, they are only about 200 materials at best. They are still the kind of sand boats with shallow water. Even so, there are few such large ships, and most of them can only A small warship carrying dozens of people.

But even so, such a sailor's force should not be underestimated in Bohai Bay. There are almost no warships to speak of, and there are many warships in Dongjiang Town, but after Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng's rebellion, they immediately contacted the old troops under Mao Wenlong in Dongjiang Town.

Among them, Chen sometimes, the deputy general of Lushun in Dongjiang Town, Mao Chenglu, the general of Guanglu Island, and others responded one after another, wanting to echo Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng's rebels in the north and south to establish a country and support their own soldiers.

For a while, the whole Dongjiang Town was also in chaos. The number of rebels in Dongjiang Town also increased to 7,000 or 8,000, almost controlling half of Dongjiang Town. The two sides agreed that as long as the sea ice on the sea melted in the spring, they would be ready to join forces and work together.

So for a while, Kong Youde's rebel power reached its peak. Sitting in Dengzhou City, he called himself a marshal of the capital, and arbitrarily appointed his military generals. He was promoted more than a dozen generals alone.
