Chapter 947: Surrender and Rebellion (Second Update)
Yong'an, the flags inside and outside the county are fluttering, and the word "West" is written on the flags without exception, which is the flag of the Western Army.
The soldiers of the Western Army on the city wall are as tall as pines, their armor and weapons are better than in the past, and the appearance of the army is even more different from that of the Western Army in the past.
The total number of mutinous troops reached 30,000, stationed in Yong'an City and a dozen camps outside the city.
Under the protection of dozens of elite soldiers, Ai Nengqi, the general of the Great West Kingdom, walked towards the General's Mansion with an indifferent expression.
"Hehe, General Pingnan is back!" Inside the tent, a young general in armor turned around and looked at Enchi with a smile.
"The sin will see the general." Enenki's expression changed, and he finally knelt down.
"Don't, General Ai, you are now the master of an army, how can you make such a great gift?" The young general smiled and motioned to help Enchi up left and right.
Enench was sitting in his chair, looking at the young general with a complicated expression, waiting for his question.
"General Ai, you also went around inside and outside the city walls, how is our army?" The young general asked with a smile.
"The army is majestic, well-trained, and it is really an elite division!" Eneng replied respectfully.
The young general smiled and nodded: "In the future, you need General Ai to inspect every day, and it will be more difficult to show up often in the battalion, and I hope General Ai will not be surprised." “
Ai Nengqi gritted his teeth: "This hard work is nothing?" Sin will fully cooperate, but afterwards, please general, you can let Sin go and father and son will survive! “
The young general laughed: "This General Ai doesn't need to worry too much, after our big things are accomplished, General Ai, don't talk about the sins of the past, but also make great contributions, and rewarding high-ranking officials and high positions for meritorious deeds is an idle matter." “
Ai Nengqi nodded: "I don't dare to count on high-ranking officials, and I hope that the general will not break his promise and get better." General, I wonder what we should do next? “
The young general nodded: "Next?" Of course, we are going to attack Yanping Mansion! “
The next day, 30,000 rebels, "led" by Ainengqi, marched down the Shaxi River towards Nanping County, Yanping Prefecture. Three days later, they arrived in Shaxian County, and the magistrate of Shaxian County abandoned the city and fled, and the 1,000 defenders of Shaxian County surrendered without a fight.
On another three days, the army reached Yongping Province. The new southeast governor appointed by the imperial court is still on the way, and Wang Yin is still the southeast governor for the time being. However, the armies of the provinces all returned to their provinces, and the newly formed new army was coerced by Ai Nengqi, and Wang Yin only had more than 3,000 standard battalion troops in his hands, so he was naturally powerless to stop more than 30,000 rebels, so he fled without a fight and fled in the direction of Fuzhou.
The rebels occupied Yanping Province and divided their forces to attack the counties, and at the same time began to recruit troops and expand their ranks. The rebel soldiers opened the storehouse and opened the warehouse to release grain, and the poor people in Yanping Province responded enthusiastically to join the army, and the ranks expanded rapidly. At the same time, in the name of the Pingnan general Ai Nengqi, he ordered the recovery of stolen goods and the distribution of land to tenants and poor peasants in the countryside.
Rebel troops rushed into the manor of the gentry, drove the family of the former high-ranking gentry out of the house, and robbed the manor of the food wealth. The whole Yanping Mansion was in mourning, and many gentry fled their homes and fled towards the provincial capital Fuzhou.
At the same time, Ainengqi commanded the main force of the rebels, collected a thousand river boats, and went down the Min River to Fuzhou.
The rebels were menacing, which immediately caused panic in the city of Fuzhou. Wang Yin, the governor of the southeast, ordered the deputy general Zheng Cai to lead 20,000 troops to attack and resist the rebel attack.
In Minqing County, Zheng Cai led the army and the rebels to meet and fight together.
In the battle of the Minjiang River, the Zhengjia Navy Division finally had a place to use, killing the rebel sailors and retreating, burning and burning dozens of rebel ships.
However, in the battle on land, Zheng Jiajun was blind, and was defeated by the rebels, and had to retreat to Minqing County.
The 30,000 rebels surrounded the Minqing group, and Zheng Cai did not dare to fight at all. However, relying on the strength of the sailor and controlling the Minjiang River, he is also able to keep Fujian safe.
On the third day of the battle, suddenly a rebel naval division appeared out of nowhere, and it was actually equipped with powerful firearms, and there were more artillery rockets on the ship than the Zheng family's naval division. After a fierce battle, the Zheng family's naval division was defeated, and more than 100 warships were destroyed, and only a few dozen of them fled back to Fuzhou.
Minqing City suddenly became a lonely city, and Zheng Cai led more than 10,000 troops to defend Minqing and waited for the main force of the Ming army to come to help.
……
In the city of Fuzhou, there was already a panic. The battle of Minqing was defeated, Zheng Cai was trapped in the county seat of Minqing, if the rebels captured Minqing, it would not take a few days to be able to attack the city of Fuzhou.
The superintendent was in charge, and the officials in Fuzhou City gathered here to discuss the strategy of retreating from the enemy.
"There are only 10,000 troops in Fuzhou City, and they are no match for the rebels at all, how can this be good?"
"Yes, the rebels are menacing, even Zheng Cai has been defeated, who else is the opponent of the rebels?"
"Have you heard? Every time the rebels conquered a land, they would confiscate the food wealth of the rich families and distribute the land to the poor, and countless poor people cried and shouted to join the rebels, and now the rebels have as many as 100,000 troops! ”
"Well, it's not ......," the official was covered before he could finish his sentence.
"Don't talk nonsense, see where we are now?"
The officer looked at the soldiers of the Inspector Standard Battalion standing outside the hall, pursed his lips, and said nothing more. But although he didn't say it, the officials in the hall knew what he wanted to say. The rebels are now so raging that they have nothing to do with the appeasement and nurturing of the superintendent Wang Yin.
"It is said that the new southeast governor appointed by the imperial court is already on the way." Another official whispered, and the others nodded slightly.
……
"Commander, there are no soldiers to send under the command of the last general!" In the study of the superintendent, Zheng Zhilong, the deputy chief soldier of Fujian, was complaining to Wang Yin, "The 20,000 troops led by Zheng Cai are the last army in my hands, and there are no people under me now." “
"Hehe," Wang Yin sneered, "Zheng Zongbing, don't forget, Zheng Cai, who is now trapped in Minqing, is your brother, if you refuse to send troops to rescue, then Zheng Cai will have to wait for death!" “
Zheng Zhilong's face was pale, and he bowed his head and said nothing. At this moment, his heart burned with rage. Not long ago, Wang Yin dismissed him from his official post as the chief soldier of Fujian on the pretext that he was not good at fighting, and firmly held Fujian's military power in his own hands.
Now that Ainengqi has rebelled, and the armies of all provinces have returned to their provinces, Wang Yin's old thief has no choice, so he actually started Lao Tzu's idea. The 20,000 troops led by Zheng Cai are already one of the few troops under Zheng Zhilong, and the remaining tens of thousands of troops are now in Nan'an, Quanzhou, guarding the Zheng family's lair, how can Zheng Zhilong be willing to transfer the last army in his hand?
"Commander, Min Qing can't hold it, please order Zheng Cai to come back." Finally, Zheng Zhilong raised his head and asked Wang Yin.
