Chapter 437: Striving for Merit

Huang Han didn't make something out of nothing, Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde's rebels did rob too much property, really as many as a few million taels of silver.

However, after the suppression of the Denglai rebels in history, the imperial court did not get any capture, why is this?

The reason is very simple, it was privately divided by the heads of the various armies.

During the Denglai Rebellion, Gao Qiqian served as a prisoner, giving Wu Sangui a great opportunity to pat himself on the back, and finally Wu Sangui became the godson of the dead eunuch.

Later, Wu Sangui's strength was uncontrollable, and the reason was that he swallowed more than one million taels in the Battle of Denglai.

The eunuch Gao Qiqian also soared into the sky because of his military exploits in the heart of the emperor to pacify Denglai, and became the hot Ningjin Prison Army, and since then he has been in cahoots with the Guan Ning Army and swallowed a lot of Liao.

In these years, there is no strong army without a family, and there is no silver to support a family.

After all, relying on his Lao Tzu to do business to make money will not be too much to spend on the army, with the cheap silver from the robbery, Wu Sangui has much more money in his hands, so the Wu family's ironclad family has also doubled, and Wu Sangui has gradually surpassed Wu Xiang to emerge.

Gao Qiqian is now serving as the supervisor of the Ming army of Denglai to quell the rebellion, and he belongs to the existence of a man of all his words in the army, and there is strong support from the Guanning army headed by Wu Xiang, Wu Sangui, Zu Dale, and Zu Kuan.

At the beginning of April, Liu Yulie, a squire of the military department, led troops to Denglai to quell the rebellion as a governor, and there were two governors and several prefects here Zhu Dadian and Xie Lian.

However, when the six or seven thousand Guan Ning troops joined the battlefield, including the six or seven thousand Guan Ning troops who were the main generals, Jin Guoqi, the chief general, Jin Guochen and Liu Bangyu, and the generals Zu Dabi, Zu Kuan, Zhang Tao, and the guerrilla Bai Yongfu, and the late general soldiers Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui, father and son, all the civilian officials could only stand aside now.

What about the Ming Dynasty, which was supposed to be a civilian commander? That means without the restraint of eunuchs.

Denglai has a big eunuch, and he is a more treacherous and slippery eunuch, he is the same as Yuan Chonghuan, good at fooling, and very good at leaving and right.

The young emperor thought that he knew the army and gave him a heavy responsibility, and somehow the Guanning army would support Gao Qiqian as vigorously as he did for Yuan Chonghuan back then.

It may be that Guan Ningjun has a sense of crisis after his spokesperson Yuan Chonghuan was cut by a thousand knives, and they urgently need a new spokesperson with weight.

In addition, before Gao Qiqian brought people and horses to participate in the war, the battle of the Ming army was a mess, and even the governor was able to be killed by others, which shows how bad it was, and the civilian officials headed by Liu Yulie naturally had no confidence to command.

This is not alarmist, in history, the high and hidden yin, several times with the military department of the military department of the Governor Xuanfu, Datong, Shanxi military affairs of the second rank of the important minister Lu Xiangsheng's soldiers, finally led to Lu Xiangsheng in Julu Jiazhuang was surrounded by the Qing army and died in the battlefield.

It is better to raise the soup to stop the boiling than to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle, Huang Han has no way to prevent Wu Sangui from coming out, after all, this kid has even done the thing of recognizing the eunuch as a godfather, and it is completely shameless.

Under normal circumstances, if a person has the ability, no matter how moral and shameless he is, the gods will not be able to stop him from making a fortune.

Huang Han came to four or two to transfer a thousand catties, and encouraged Fang Zhenghua to lead the 6,000 men and horses of the Beijing camp he trained and Li Ruolian to bring some brocade guards to participate in the battle of Denglai, the purpose was to fight for merit.

This is definitely not to dig a pit for Fang and Li to jump, but to really create an opportunity for them to make great achievements, because the Denglai rebellion in history was quelled by the Ming army led by the Guanning army.

Now the history is different, Li Jiucheng, Kong Youde and other rebels have fewer horses, Mao Chenglu, Chen sometimes and others have a lot less strength to lead troops to join, while the Ming army will have more seven or eight thousand new troops trained by Fang Zhenghua and Li Ruolian to participate in the war, and the strength is much stronger.

The originally predestined winner of history has strengthened its strength, and the losing side has weakened its strength, and of course there is no dramatic change in the ending, as long as Fang Zhenghua and Li Ruolian are not so bad that they are hit by cannonballs, it is essential to get great success.

With the prestige of Fang Zhenghua and Li Ruolian in the court and the trust of the emperor, he went to Denglai, and Gao Qiqian would immediately put himself in the right position and succumb to the third.

Moreover, Fang Zhenghua and Li Ruolian have their own descendants of seven or eight thousand, plus three or four thousand firearms troops of the Shenji Battalion, their strength is not trivial, and there is no comparison with Gao Qiqian and Guan Ningjun's hypocrisy of using each other.

Fang and Li's men and horses will also get the "Red Banner Army" to supply grain and grass from the sea, and they don't need to look at anyone's face at all.

They followed Huang Han to fight and participated in the capture several times, and they can be said to have rich experience, and this time when they rushed into Dengzhou City to grab the benefits, they would definitely be able to outperform most of the Ming army.

With the ferocity of Jinyiwei and the dominance of the people of Jingying, I am afraid that the Guanning army will also have to concede three points, and this time Denglai's gold and silver treasures will not be able to take the lion's share of the Guanning army led by Wu Xiang, Wu Sangui, and Zu Dabi.

The Wu family has lost hundreds of thousands of millions of taels of silver, of course, it will be restricted from developing, and the Guanning army that enters the customs will not get a large amount of silver, and it will also lose the funds to increase the army.

This was completely expedient, because Huang Han and his son were stationed on the front line against Jiannu and shouldered a heavy responsibility, and at this time, it was too late to take the initiative to enter the customs to participate in the Denglai rebellion, and the imperial court would think that they were derelict in their duties.

The "Red Flag Army" could only watch Denglai fight in a mess, and there was no way to secretly vote, and only when Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming gave up Dengzhou and prepared to cross the sea to Jiannu could they give a fatal blow.

In order to be able to reassure the Denglai rebels to use the sea route to escape, the "Red Banner Army" sailors did not appear in the coastal waters of Denglai at all, but more than a dozen clippers operated by only 11 people as sentinels watched Denglai closely.

Fifteen meters long and five meters wide, with a deck, the clipper was equipped with a furlong and a pounder gun at the bow and stern, and flywheels on both sides, which could reach seven knots at full sail.

When it was time to accelerate, the small flag officer, the captain of the sentinel ship, took the helm, and the other ten sailors took turns pedaling and driving two flywheels, which could run at a speed of nine knots.

Such a sentinel ship has a speed advantage over a small ship of the same displacement, and the sentinel ship can fire stern guns while escaping, which is not a small matter if an enemy ship of about the same size as a sentinel ship gets too close to it and receives a scattershot.

It is very likely that the sailors were killed and the sails were broken and then captured by the "Red Banner Army" sentry boats.

The Ming army, including the eighteenth Zhi, such small boats were at most equipped with guns and no sights, with short barrels, slow rate of fire, and a short range, and where they could afford to shoot scattered bullets and one-pound solid shells.

The boat did not have a thick hatch, and the solid shells of a one-pound Furlong cannon could penetrate any part of the boat within two or three hundred paces.
