Chapter 469: Cutting off children and grandchildren
Last year, the emperor was furious when he learned that all the Hongyi cannons that he had personally ordered to arrange for the start and cattle and horses to deliver to the front line had not been captured by the rebels, and immediately ordered Liu Yulie, the governor of the military department, to enter Beijing to ask for the guilt.
Now that Fang Zhenghua has recaptured four of the Hongyi cannons, it is completely possible to play the praise of the Son of Heaven, and the ministers have shown their faces, and of course the emperor has a light on his face.
The residents of Dengzhou City were not eaten up by the rebels, and thirty or forty thousand yellow-skinned people were rescued, Fang Zhenghua and Li Ruolian were not only to gain fame, but also to pity the hungry and cold Dengzhou people, they immediately used the Huang Han supported by the Japanese rice to boil porridge to help the hungry people.
The people of Dengzhou, who were about to starve to death, were grateful one by one after drinking two bowls of gruel, and everyone was grateful to the imperial court soldiers and horses for relieving the people of the upside down, and they all shouted in the mountains: "Long live my emperor, long live!" "Lord Xie Jianjun will give you a way to live!"
In the early morning of 13 February, after receiving the news from Kuaima, Zhu Dadian, the governor of Shandong who lived in Laizhou that night, was so frightened that his face turned pale with earth, seeing that the city of Dengzhou was about to be attacked and destroyed.
Zhu Dadian immediately rushed to Dengzhou with more than a dozen family members, but who knew that he was blocked by Jinyiwei under the city, and let the governor jump like thunder, Jinyiwei was indifferent at all.
Seeing this situation, Chen Hongfan, Liu Liangzuo, Deng Xi, Jin Guoqi and other chief military officers and Guan Ning generals were all angry.
The shortest of them fought with the rebels for a year, and the longest fought for more than a year, only Jinyiwei and Jingying men arrived in Dengzhou at the end of October, but now they picked up peaches, of course, causing the generals to be dissatisfied.
At this time, everyone remembered the night of the battle, and they all regretted not being at the beginning. Everyone is secretly scolding their mothers and scolding the prison army for cutting off their children and grandchildren.
Zhu Dadian, who had calmed down, was like a stop at this time, no matter what, it is an indisputable fact that Denglai has won the final victory in counterinsurgency, and it is natural that he has made great contributions as the highest civilian official in commanding the army.
As for who got a large amount of seizures and which way got a lot of captures, there is no essential difference for Zhu Dadian, anyway, the meat is rotten in the pot.
In fact, Zhu Dadian did not feel bad about Fang Zhenghua, and after getting along for a few months, he found that this eunuch did not ask for extravagance at all, and also used his relationship with General Pingliao to get a lot of food, which made the army seriously short of food a lot less burden.
Presumably, Jinyiwei and Jingying refused to allow other armies to enter the city in order to get more captures, and those who became big things were informal, after all, the capture of Dengzhou was the result of their bloody battle, after all, they must have owed General Pingliao a lot of grain, grass and silver to be returned, and Zhu Dadian simply ignored the trivial matters of fighting for profit after the war.
Fang Zhenghua didn't know that the crowd was angry, he didn't care, he grasped a principle, he was responsible for the emperor, responsible for himself, responsible for his descendants, and he was a eunuch who was not afraid of being cursed and cut off his children and grandchildren.
After the city of Dengzhou was looted, the men of the Beijing camp, Ma Jinyiwei, withdrew and stationed outside the city, and handed over this mess to Zhu Dadian and a group of civilian officials to take over.
It is estimated that the emperor's decree will be issued in a few days, and it is reasonable for the counterinsurgency army to return to their original stations, but the unlucky generals will be transferred to Shanxi to participate in the suppression of the rogue.
Fang Zhenghua analyzed that the Beijing camp that had just made great achievements would not be transferred far away, and the emperor should feel much more at ease if there was a capable and caring army stationed in the Beijing division.
Through the Dengzhou counterinsurgency, it has been proved that the training of Jingying people Ma Zhuo is effective, what should I do next?
Naturally, it should be to re-select the soldiers of the Beijing camp to strengthen training, reduce the shadow soldiers and models, and increase the number of people who dare to fight and can fight.
Indeed, in fact, Emperor Chongzhen has always promoted talents in an eclectic manner, but his eyesight is really enough.
In history, from the unconventional use of a cloth cloth Shenfu as a deputy general with 7,000 men and horses to send him to death, to the promotion of a Hanlin Yuan Ji Shi who had never led troops to the eighth level, and entrusted tens of thousands of people with the heavy responsibility of leading tens of thousands of horses and meat buns to beat dogs, and entrusted Yuan Chonghuan, a big fool, which is equivalent to the power of the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and so on.
Pile by pile, piece by piece fully shows that Chongzhen is willing to use people, eager to get talents, but unfortunately he is really not a good use of the British master, in a word, Chongzhen's qualifications are limited, he is too mediocre, and he can't control the last generation of internal and external troubles.
Now that there is a house slave who has been proven to know the soldiers, Chongzhen will definitely be of great use, and the Jinyi Guard of the Son of Heaven's pro-army will also gain much better power than in history.
Kong Youde broke his arm to survive, leaving behind most of the men and horses to sail out to the sea target Zhenjiang Fort, this sea area Dongjiang Town is extremely familiar with the people and horses, thinking that after arriving at the destination to seize the foothold and then contacting Houjin, it is not a problem to strive for a good surrender condition.
But the ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, and Huang Han, who has been waiting for all the flowers, finally got the news that the fleet of the Denglai rebels went to sea at noon on February 14.
There are more than 20 "Red Banner Army" sentry ships that will always follow and monitor, and will not follow this relatively large fleet, knowing that the stakes are very high, and there are still a few new warships in the water camp to respond.
Shen Xianyi took charge of this tracking mission, and he would continuously send sentinel ships to report where the rebel fleet had arrived, and roughly judge where the rebel fleet should be in five hours according to their speed and course.
The warships assembled at the Port of Arthur were dispatched, and the displacement of the three largest warships was already about 1,500 tons, which was about the same size as the captured Dutch deck warship Udwater.
The Udwater, which has long been renovated and renewed, has been put into service, and the current trainee captain is Shen Ming.
The "Red Banner Army" water battalion already has 27 warships with a displacement of more than 500 tons, and except for the two captured Dutch warships, the rest are all new warships with hard sails and soft sails, old lock boats, and oars that mix Chinese and Western styles.
Shuiying has eliminated all the original No. 2 Fu ship and Zhu Yin ship, etc., and turned them into "Sun and Moon Shipping" transport ships without artillery.
Last year, when three battleships with a displacement of more than 1,500 tons were built, the construction of small ships was intensified, and the number of sentinel ships and small warships with a displacement of 100 to 30 tons now reached 72.
Sentinel ships with a displacement of 30 tons were armed with two one-pounder furlong cannons, small warships with a displacement of 60 or 70 tons were armed with two three-pounder furlong cannons, and a displacement of 100 tons was armed with two six-pounder furlong cannons.
The development of small clippers equipped with artillery is for cruising sea areas, and also for the next step into the Yangtze River and even inland river operations.
In this era, shipping is the most efficient existence, from Shanhaiguan to Huguang protracted and tired of the three armies, but by boat through Nantong Prefecture into the Yangtze River to Jiangxia, Wuchang Mansion for a month is enough, the soldiers still all the way to see the scenery as a collective tourism as comfortable.
