Chapter 372 Can't beat Qufu
Looking at Kong Yinzhi's aggrieved appearance, Wang Haoxian had a smile on his face. But I didn't pay much attention to it.
has been with Kong Yinzhi for a few days, and Wang Haoxian probably understands the character of this Yan Shenggong.
In Wang Haoxian's view, this is simply a waste, not only has no guts, but also has no strategy, and is basically a stupid reader.
For Wang Haoxian, this kind of person just wants to control it and use it in his hands, and the others are not of much value. As for what happens in the future, it depends on how he performs.
As long as you can take Qufu this time, it will be a great righteousness for yourself.
Now that the imperial court is suppressing the Confucian family, he is just using the influence of the Confucian family among the literati to let them use it for his own use. At that time, his strength will definitely be very strong.
Especially on the ground in Shandong, the imperial court is arresting people and killing people everywhere, and it gives them a chance to live.
"Yan Shenggong, don't worry, when the big thing is done, Ben Shuai will definitely not lose his words." Wang Haoxian looked at Kong Yinzhi and said with a smile. His face was full of sincerity, and his tone was very gentle.
Kong Yinzhi sighed helplessly and said, "Then thank you Dashuai." ”
In fact, Kong Yinzhi was very disdainful in his heart. Now Wang Haoxian said that he didn't believe it at all.
Relying on these fools, if you want to rebel and seize the world, it is simply a fool's dream, and you may be exterminated by the army of the imperial court one day. At that time, everyone will die without a place to bury.
Kong Yinzhi was thinking about what to do, how to save the Kong family, and how to save his life. This is the most critical thing for him, and he doesn't care about the lives or deaths of these people.
At the same time, Sun Chuanting and his party had already rushed to Juye.
They also encountered some rebels in the early stage, but these rebels and the imperial army's army were basically crushed, and they had no fight at all. Even after seeing the imperial army, many rebels turned around and ran away, and the whole team collapsed.
Most people followed the rebellion, in fact, they just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity.
Some people have thoughts, but only some people. Individual individuals could not do anything in front of the army, and these people could only be coerced to flee, with no combat effectiveness at all.
For ordinary people who followed the rebellion, they were scared away when they saw someone dead.
Although there were casualties in the Shandong earthquake this time, the people's lives were not very good, and the food for disaster relief was resold, but His Majesty came, the food was also available, and various places were also actively relieving the disaster, and even helping to rebuild the house.
The imperial court also implements cash-for-work, although they are all small projects, but there are also places to make money, so the people's lives are not so sad.
Most of the rebels were homeless people, even bandits, who ran away if they wanted to. There are not many people who really rebel at all, so let alone combat effectiveness.
Along the way, the official army led by Sun Chuanting was devastated, and they rushed directly to Juye.
The battle of Juye City didn't take much effort.
It was originally a small county town, the city walls were not high, and the defense was not difficult, so the rebels could easily attack it, and the officials and troops could naturally attack it easily. The officers and troops didn't even run out for a day, and Juye City was recovered.
In the city of Jining.
Zhu Youxiao listened to Chen Hong's battle report, and the expression on his face was a little helpless.
Originally, Zhu Youxiao thought that the rebels could hold on and at least hone Lu Xiangsheng and them, after all, they were on the battlefield for the first time.
And that's the result?
What a disappointment!
Zhu Youxiao was very helpless, the author who originally wanted to rely on this battle to write hundreds of thousands of words, it is estimated that he wants to cry now.
There really is nothing to describe about the battle.
"Alright, no need to say it." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, interrupted Chen Hong, and said directly: "I know." ”
"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong hurriedly shut up.
He didn't know why the emperor was in a bad mood. You must know that this is a big victory, and the official army did not make any effort at all, and directly recovered Juye City. It's a big win, it's a good thing!
Why is the emperor unhappy?
But the heart of heaven is unpredictable, how can the emperor's mind be so easy to guess?
Although he has been with the emperor for a while, or it has been a long time, he has never guessed what the emperor is thinking.
Even if you get it once or twice, it's obvious. More often than not, he didn't know what the emperor was thinking, so he could only serve carefully.
Zhu Youxiao was a little interested, and then said: "It's really a little boring, let's go out for a walk with me." ”
In the next few days, there were reports of war coming from Juye, and news of the counterinsurgency was everywhere. It can be said that the rebels are very wasteful, and there are many places that have been recovered by the official army.
It can be said that these rebels did not play a role in the slightest.
Zhu Youxiao's mood became more and more anxious, he looked at Chen Hong and asked, "What's the situation in Qufu?" ”
"Back to the emperor, news has come from Qufu, Wang Haoxian gathered a large number of troops to storm Qufu, and Kong Wenli, the county governor of Qufu, held the city. The rebels have been attacking the city for three days in a row, but still have not captured Qufu. ”
"Rubbish!" Zhu Youxiao scolded in a low voice.
He gave the rebels such good conditions, but they still couldn't defeat them. You must know that in the original history, these people were not able to defeat Qufu, and Xu Hongru went in person.
At that time, Xu Hongru seized the throat of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, cut off the passage of the imperial court to transport grain and wages, and intercepted 40 official grain ships in Pengjiakou, and gathered a large number of troops to storm Qufu.
Kong Wenli, the county governor of Qufu, held the city and fought bravely, and the rebels could not attack the city for several months. In Qufu City, there is plenty of grain and grass, and it is no problem to hold on for a longer time.
So this time, Zhu Youxiao played a trick and withdrew a lot of people, but it was all done quietly and without much fanfare.
If it is carried out with great fanfare, it will arouse suspicion and damage one's reputation.
But even so, the rebels didn't take the city?!
It's just rubbish!
Now that the rebels are being wiped out in various places, although there is no holy decree from Zhu Youxiao, but the officials and generals everywhere have the responsibility of defending the territory and resisting the enemy, so they can't give an order to tell them not to resist, right? So what did Zhu become by school?
It's okay to do it quietly, but you can't really let the rebels wreak havoc and let the people suffer.
"What a disappointment!" Zhu Youxiao complained again. Read a book for a long time
But now, he can only accept his fate. These rebels are too wasteful, there is no problem with their own planning, it is not a crime of war, it is estimated that they will not be able to defeat Qufu until death.
At this time, Zhang Weixian walked in from outside.
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Zhang Weixian, and when he saw his happy face, he knew that there was good news in his heart.
So Zhu Youxiao smiled and waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, but there is good news again?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, there is indeed good news." Zhang Weixian hurriedly said.
For Zhang Weixian, these days have been good news, the anti-thief rebellion has made a lot of noise, and even has the intention of cutting off the fortune of the capital, so that the capital will shake and the world will shake.
But such a big rebellion, in his own hands, was almost put down in such a short time. This is a very happy thing for Zhang Weixian.
If the news spreads, it will also help to enhance his prestige, and even his power, and the role of the staff office will be highlighted at once.
"Let's talk about it." Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhang Weixian and said with a bright smile on his face.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Weixian agreed, and hurriedly said: "Li Enxian's rebellion in Gushi County, Runing Prefecture, was detected by the Jinyi Guard yesterday and has been exterminated. ”
"Meng Chengguang, the sixty-sixth grandson of Mencius, also led Xiang Yong to assist the official army in attacking Zou County, and now Zou County has been recovered. Besides. There are also good news everywhere. This is a recital, please look at it Your Majesty. ”
After speaking, Zhang Weixian hurriedly handed over the report.
Zhu Youxiao took the report from Chen Hong's hand, glanced at it briefly, and put it aside.
This report no longer has any appeal to Zhu Youxiao, and the rebels have now been beaten to pieces.
So Zhu Youxiao said: "Aiqing has done a good job. Orders were sent to all parts of the country to speed up the suppression of rebellions. When the rebellion is put down, I will inevitably be rewarded for my deeds. All those who have merit, I will not hesitate to reward. Let the soldiers on the front line use their lives to pacify Shandong as soon as possible. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Weixian excitedly agreed.
Seeing Zhu Youxiao so happy, Zhang Weixian's heart was also happy.
This time I have done things so beautifully, Your Majesty should make yourself the chief of staff, right?
Thinking of this, Zhang Weixian became excited, and when he was ready to go back, he would make good arrangements and speed up the process to quell the rebellion.
Zhang Weixian took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, it is time to send troops to recover Xia Town." Xiazhen, an important ferry port of the Xiazhen Canal, is the throat of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. The rebels cut off the passage of grain and wages to the imperial court, which really had a great impact. ”
"Now that Zou County has been recovered, Xu Hongru and the others have no way to retreat, and these people will soon retreat to the area of Teng County and Xia Town. Please send more men and horses to destroy the traitors as soon as possible. ”
Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhang Weixian, without the slightest hesitation, nodded directly and said, "That's very good, you go down and arrange it." I will ask Qi Jin to transfer some men and horses to you, and put down the rebellion as soon as possible. ”
The matter is now unavoidable, and Zhu Youxiao naturally will not insist. If Qufu can't be defeated, these rebels are waste, and there is no need to let them be blind anymore.
Now that the rebellions have been put down and many places have been reclaimed, the devil knows what these rebels will do in desperation. Therefore, these people can't stay, and the key is to exterminate them as soon as possible.
Hearing that His Majesty was willing to let Qi Jin allocate people to him, Zhang Weixian's face flashed with joy, but then he shook his head with a serious face, and said directly: "Your Majesty, these people still don't need to be transferred." ”
"The men and horses led by General Qi Jin are here to protect His Majesty. Once there is any movement in Jining, General Qi Jin can put down the rebellion as soon as possible. Now that the anti-thieves are exhausted, there is no need to dispatch such a strong army, and the ministers can mobilize troops and horses on the spot to quell the rebellion. ”
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Zhang Weixian, nodded directly and said, "You can arrange it yourself." ”
In fact, there is really no need to send Qi Jin's men and horses, Zhu Youxiao feels that there are some cattle knives used to kill pigs.
After all, judging from the current situation, these rebels are all waste, and they have been beaten to the ground by the official army. Under such circumstances, it is really not worth mobilizing Qi Jin's people.
In the original history, these rebels were able to make such a big move, mainly because of the fiasco in Liaodong. The imperial court has sent too many people to the front line in Liaodong, and Shandong has drawn the most, so there is such a big emptiness for them to take advantage of.
Now there is no such emptiness in Shandong at all, and the rebels cannot take advantage of it. The armies from all over Shandong are still there, and it takes little effort to fight the rebels.
What's more, he was in Jining, and he had helped the victims before, killed many corrupt officials, and few people dared not to use their strength.
Zhu Youxiao even had some conjectures that if he didn't stir up the rebels, they might not rebel now.
After all, after enduring it for so many years, there is no good opportunity, and they don't want to move. In the original history, these man-made rebellions did encounter a good opportunity, and they did make such a big move, which is a very favorable thing.
But this time it was different, there was no chance for the rebels to rebel here in Shandong. Even an earthquake would not be enough for them to rebel.
What's more, they also brought disaster relief food and punished corrupt officials, and there were not many people who rebelled against them.
If it weren't for the fact that he checked the food and found them on their bodies, and used them to make an assassination drama, I am afraid that these people would not necessarily rebel.
Does this count as the emperor forcing them to rebel?
But this idea quickly faded because it made no sense.
Zhu Youxiao said directly to Zhang Weixian: "Go, put down the rebellion as soon as possible, and I will celebrate your achievements." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Weixian nodded and said respectfully: "The minister retired." ”
After saying this, Zhang Weixian turned around and walked outside.
His steps were firm and fast, and he obviously couldn't wait a moment, and wanted to go back and set things up quickly.
With Zhu Youxiao's order, the army gathered in Jining City began to move, and directly pounced on the rebels in Xia Town.
At this time, Xu Hongru had already been defeated to Teng County and met Wang Haoxian in Xia Town.
After the two of them met, they didn't know what to say for a while.
The situation was originally good, but I didn't expect it to be like this.
Xu Hongru looked at Wang Haoxian and said slowly: "Can't Qufu still be defeated?" ”
Wang Haoxian was a little embarrassed.
He has been playing for half a month, but he has never been able to defeat Qufu.
Seeing Wang Haoxian's appearance, Xu Hongru knew what was going on, so he didn't continue to ask.
"Let's talk about what to do next," he said. ”
