Cao Bianjiao, He Kegang, Wu Sangui and others saw that victory was in sight, so they naturally shouted and moved the sky, boosted morale, fought hard forward, and constantly rushed forward.

The rebels were already demoralized, and they were attacked by the official army into the city, and the army was disheartened, and those who fled and surrendered, anyway, I don't know how much.

Kong Youde and others saw that the general trend had gone, and they hated it in their hearts.

The Ming Dynasty is no longer sustainable, and the change of dynasty is not far away, and the actions and expectations that have been made in my heart or have now all turned into flowing water.

What a hate!

Kong Youde and others gritted their teeth at Zhou Zheng with hatred, eager to pick his bones and eat his flesh and blood!

If it weren't for Zhou Zheng's displaying of cards according to common sense, forcing them to be embarrassed and unable to deal with it calmly, they would not have lost so quickly and had no backhand.

Chen Jiucheng naturally knew that Kong Youde and the others were crazy with hatred, but he kept his senses and said: "My lord, if you don't leave, it's too late." ”

Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and the others glanced at each other, no matter how much they hated, they could only sigh in their hearts: the general trend has gone.

"Let's go." Kong Youde said.

The people did not speak, but followed him.

They are rebellious, and naturally they have enough way back. They have long colluded with Jianlu, if they can't do anything, then cross the sea and surrender Jianlu, and survive.

Dengzhou City is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the sea on both sides, so you can't go over the mountains, so you can only dive into the sea.

They had already prepared, and more than 2,000 people quickly evacuated and repeatedly entered the ships at sea.

Cao Bianjiao and others noticed it and immediately came to inform.

Without waiting for Zhou Zheng to speak, Jin Guoqi said with a comfortable expression: "Lord Zhou, don't worry, Gong Zhengxiang's sailor is outside, and they can't leave." ”

Although it is not clear how Kong Youde escaped from the encirclement of the sailors, Zhou Zheng knew that Kong Youde in history did escape and did not die at sea.

I hope Lao Wei and they can fill this loophole. Zhou Zheng muttered to himself in his heart, and said with an unmoving face: "Okay, let's clear Dengzhou City first!" ”

Jin Guoqi also thought so, and the two armies worked together to exterminate the remaining rebels in Dengzhou City.

After another hour, Dengzhou City was finally slowly pacified, and Zhou Zheng, Jin Guoqi and others entered the city.

Meng Hezhou came out of it with an ugly look and said, "My lord, as expected, Dengzhou City was almost slaughtered by Kong Youde!" ”

What he had expected a long time ago, Zhou Zheng was still very angry in his heart, and said indifferently: "Find out who did it, and anyone who has a military position will be executed!" ”

"Yes!" Meng Hezhou said in a deep voice.

Jin Guoqi looked at the tragic situation in Dengzhou City and did not speak. He reclaimed most of Denglai along the way, and saw many more brutal conditions than here. Kong Youde and others wantonly killed, it was simply worse than a beast!

At this time, suddenly a strong wind blew and dark clouds covered the top, as if a heavy rain was coming.

Zhou Zhengmeng thought of how Kong Youde and the others could escape, and looked at the north of Dengzhou City with an ugly expression.

Jin Guoqi also looked to the north, but he didn't think that Kong Youde and the others would take advantage of this to escape, and said: "Lord Zhou, clean up and prepare to take shelter from the rain, this rain is estimated to be not small." ”

Zhou Zheng nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "Clean up the battlefield and wait for Lord Zhu to come." ”

Everyone nodded in unison and cleaned up the battlefield.

This violent wind and rain came extremely fiercely, and it fell into Dengzhou City like a smash.

This is even more true at sea, Gong Zhengxiang's sailors were almost overturned, Kong Youde and others took the opportunity to attack, and actually captured Gong Zhengxiang and captured the ship.

And Wei Xizhuang, who was off the coast of Tianjin, had not waited for news from Zhou Zheng, so he could not stay at sea and urgently returned to Hong Kong for temporary refuge.

Kong Youde escaped his life after all, crossed the sea to the north, and surrendered to Jian.

Not to mention Kong Youde's escape, Zhu Dadian arrived belatedly and finally arrived in Dengzhou.

He called a group of civil and military generals, including the internal supervisor, that is, the Zhongguan Gao Qiqian, and openly and secretly began to determine the distribution of the credit this time.

Zhu Dadian is naturally the first, then Gao Qiqian, then Chen Hongfan, Jin Guoqi and others, Zhou Zheng is at the bottom!

In this conference, almost all of the generals were at the level, and everyone felt that Zhu Dadian was unfair and unfair to Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng drove Kong Youde from Laizhou Mansion to Dengzhou Mansion, and he was the first person to attack Dengzhou Mansion, why did he have the least credit?

But not to mention that Zhu Dadian is the boss, and there is also the internal supervisor Gao Qiqian's helper, behind him is the increasingly popular cabinet minister Wen Tiren, who dares to argue with him about anything?

A group of people left Dengzhou Mansion, Cao Bianjiao, Zhang Cunren, He Kegang and others all looked ugly, and their eyes all looked at Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng's expression was natural, as if he was unconscious, and said lightly: "Go back." ”

Jin Guoqi followed behind, looking hesitant and sighing lightly.

He helped Zhou Zheng a few words at the meeting, but he was scolded by Zhu Dadian and threatened to reduce his credit.

The situation is stronger than people, and there is nothing to be done.

When Zhu Dadian and others sorted out the Denglai victory recital and distributed military merits, Zhou Zheng took a leisurely bath in his station, enjoying a rare relaxation.

Shangguan Qing wiped his back, looked at his side face, and said softly: "You want to be the governor of Denglai, you can't do it without merit, they robbed us of our military merits, aren't you angry?" ”

Zhou Zheng exhaled, sneered, and said: "Zhu Dadian and others really treat me as the second generation of ordinary officials, and they don't even have the least appeasement, and they look so ugly, don't blame me for being unkind." ”

Shangguan Qing blinked, squatted down, and whispered in his ear, "You already have an arrangement?" ”

Zhou Zheng hummed, his eyes were indifferent, and said, "It's not mine, I won't rob it; What should be mine is mine, and whoever dares to move will have to pay the price! ”

Shangguan Qing was relieved when he saw this, and continued to wipe Zhou Zheng's back.

Zhou Zheng was lying in the bathtub, his eyes closed, he didn't care about Zhu Dadian in his heart, but was thinking about the arrangements of Denglai and Dongjiang Town.

'There's a shortage of talent. Zhou Zheng muttered to himself.

By December, the two places in Denglai were basically pacified, and the recital had also arrived in the capital.

Originally, there was no problem, Zhu Dadian played a performance book, and the other general soldiers and conscription officials were Chen Shi's performance, and there were no flaws in general.

But just when the imperial court was about to give a big reward, Wu Weicheng, the prefect of Laizhou, who had escaped death, suddenly played, saying that Kong Youde had robbed the two prefectures of Denglai and obtained nearly one million dollars and grain, but after the war, he disappeared.

The court officials were red-eyed when they saw the word 'money and grain', not to mention that there was 'million' behind them, and the government and the opposition immediately boiled, and the officials frantically impeached Zhu Dadian.

Because the dispute between the first assistant and Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren gradually became white-hot, the henchmen of the two immediately attacked each other, and the government and the opposition were in chaos.

Chongzhen was dizzy and couldn't see things clearly, so he had to call Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren to the Qianqing Palace to confront him.

Zhou Yanru now has a very sense of crisis, and immediately took the lead in attacking, saying: "Your Majesty, Zhu Dadian is the boss, millions of money and grain are missing, and there is no word after that, which is strange, it is difficult to escape the blame, the minister suggested that he be put in prison, and the three divisions will be interrogated, and find out the money and food that he was greedy for as soon as possible, so as to help the people of Denglai and the two mansions!" ”

Wen Tiren is a fat man, and whether he smiles or not, he gives people a sense of 'harmony'. He was calm and unflustered, and he was not in a hurry to defend Zhu Dadian, who was recommended by him.
