Chapter 547: The Price of Iron Blood

The same touching scenes continued to appear in the camps and dormitories of Fushan Bay, where officers and veterans took out their beloved belongings and welcomed these former Tianxiong soldiers in a unique way of welcoming the Dengzhou Army.

As for Lord Wang's way of dealing with such a Tianxiong army, in fact, all people don't understand.

That's not hundreds, thousands, but tens of thousands! Moreover, there are many of them who are military generals at the level of generals, thousand households, commanders, and generals.

Perhaps, those big-headed soldiers are still easy to do, with the best food and military salaries of the Dengzhou Army in this era, especially a series of training and management methods that exceed this era, Wang Rui is confident that he can turn them all into his own people.

The most troublesome are the generals of the Tianxiong Army. For Lord Wang, they are indeed quite chicken, and it is a pity to abandon them and gnaw on them without meat.

For example, these generals who were originally generals or commanders, should they continue to be officials, or should they simply become big soldiers? Neither approach seems appropriate.

However, such a thing is not difficult for Wang Rui, a traverser.

In the letter to Ma Ju, Lord Wang clearly instructed that a lecture hall should be established in Fushan Bay to transform these old Tianxiong army generals.

In the early stage, the operation of the lecture hall was very simple, not only to provide them with good food and drink, but also to carry out the training of the Dengzhou army, with the focus on instilling Han nationalist ideas in them for twelve hours a day.

Of course, the key point is to let them know about the glorious deeds of Lord Wang and the Dengzhou Army.

Through these heroic and touching deeds, let them truly realize from the bottom of their hearts: only the great, glorious and correct Lord Wang can save the Ming Dynasty; Only the heroic and all-powerful Lord Wang can lead the Ming Dynasty forward!

In a word, it is a naked personality cult of Lord Wang, the general of Zhengdong, in the lecture hall!

However, the name of the martial arts hall made Wang Rui entangled for a long time.

Wang Rui's initial idea was to simply call it the Whampoa Military Academy. Thinking about it in China in this time and space in the future, there may no longer be things that happened in the previous life, such as the theft of the country by the Manchurians and the Northern Expedition of the Han Army.

And according to Tang Xiaoxian, the name of this Whampoa Military Academy is not majestic enough.

I'll go, the Whampoa Military Academy is not majestic enough?! When Wang Rui heard his words, he couldn't wait to hit people with bricks.

However, after looking left and right, Lord Wang did not find the bricks, but found a new name: the starting point of the Han Dynasty!

Wang Rui was very proud. Regardless of whether the Whampoa Military Academy will be established in the future, anyway, his name is definitely not pirated.

As a result, the "Dahan Starting Point Lecture Martial Arts Hall" was quietly established in a seaside location in Fushan Bay.

A few years later, the Dahan Lecture Hall became famous and powerful because of the training of countless outstanding army generals and top military science and technology talents, completely surpassing the vision of Wang University when the school was founded.

When Ma Ju led a group of left-behind officials of the Dengzhou Army to work in Fushan Bay, Lord Wang was playing tea and chess in a temple ten miles away from Laizhou City, and Chen Song, Tang Xiaoxian, He Hanjun and others were helplessly guarding outside the long pavilion.

They really couldn't understand that this was close to Laizhou City, why did Lord Wang hesitate instead?

In these days, according to the established deployment of Lord Wang, the fake rebels led by Chen Song first took the city as the vanguard, and after killing all the local officials and gentry, Lord Wang brought the Dengzhou army to save the people from fire and water.

How can I be born, is there any exception to this Laizhou City?

According to everyone's idea, it is all brewed in the same way!

In fact, Wang Rui hesitated because of one thing. That is, in the original history, under the protection of the prefect Zhu Wannian, Laizhou City made a death resistance, and many people died.

Zhu Wannian's name is Henan, and he was a native of Liping Mansion in the Ming Dynasty (now Liping, Guizhou Province, China).

In the thirty-seventh year of Wanli (1609 AD), Mingshenzong raised people, successively served as the commander of Shandong Dingtao Zhi County, Zhongcheng Terracotta Division, the director of the Henan Division of the Household Department, the member of the Wailang, Langzhong, and now the official to the prefect of Laizhou, Shandong.

History records that Zhu Wannian was generous and held a big festival in his life, and when he saw that the country was wrong, he often said to his colleagues when he was drunk: "Born as a strange man, died as a fierce husband, my generation should not be like this!" ”

In all fairness, Wang Rui in his previous life still admired Zhu Wannian.

However, Zhu Wannian was confined to the civil and military disputes of the Ming Dynasty, but he was quite unfriendly to Wang Rui, a martial artist who had repeatedly made great achievements.

Every time he heard someone talk about Wang Rui and the Dengzhou Army, Zhu Wannian was very disdainful: "A vulgar martial artist, he has a false name!" The success of the erector is just borrowing the strategic command of civil officials such as Lord Sun and Lord Liu! ”

Later, when the Dengzhou Army carried out the activity of "fighting local tyrants and dividing the fields", they also walked around Laizhou City.

After many landlords and old fortunes around Laizhou City learned of the Dengzhou Army's practices, the astute people immediately fled into Laizhou City with their belongings and their families.

The so-called evil deeds of the Dengzhou Army, which "brutalized the gentry and tyrannical conquests", were densely spread into Zhu Wannian's ears in this way.

Some gentry and literati even asked to see Zhu Wannian through various connections, and entrusted him with a lot of money to participate in the impeachment of Wang Rui and a series of atrocious crimes of the Dengzhou army.

Zhu Wannian, who was already not interested in Wang Rui and the Dengzhou Army, of course accepted it happily, and sent the impassioned recitals to the Beijing division one by one.

However, Lord Wang had already taken precautions, and sent a lot of silver taels to Emperor Chongzhen in time, quietly resolving this wave of impeachment invisibly.

However, Rao is like this, Zhu Wannian, who has a stubborn personality, still did not give up, and from time to time he would catch the loopholes of the Dengzhou Army and spray them.

Historically, as soon as Kong Youde's rebellion broke out, Zhu Wannian quickly made preparations to defend the city. About twenty-five articles were drawn up to defend the city.

Wang Rui, who defended the city, had seen it in his previous life, and it could be seen that Zhu Wannian's war preparations were very rigorous and thoughtful, and he showed extraordinary military talent.

First of all, according to the existing strength of Laizhou, he made arrangements for defending the city, and transferred all the defenders of coastal defense and important places into the city to jointly defend the city.

Before the rebels arrived, Zhu Wannian did everything possible to mobilize the gentry and people in the city, and those who had grain and grass outside the city were quickly transported into the city, and not a single grain or grass in the city was allowed to be transported out of the city.

He also took various measures to stabilize the social order in the city, and made an inventory and registration of the residents of the city from house to house.

Laizhou City according to the ten for a card to compile, there are abnormal actions in the card to raise the head, the implementation of the sitting.

Strictly implement fire prevention and fire fighting measures, and strictly prohibit gatherings for drinking, gambling, and crowd noise. Clear the streets at night and set up guards to prevent spies from seeking opportunities to cause trouble.

He also mobilized the masses to participate in the defense of the city, and organized the young and middle-aged people in the city to send the city head to serve as a battler. There are a total of 1,778 stacks in the city, and 5 people in each stack take turns to do it, holding wooden sticks on duty day and night.

In order to prevent the enemy from stealing the city at night, a small lamp is placed every 5 stacks, and a large lamp is placed every 10 stacks, and a long pole is used to pick out the outside of the city.

Zhu Wannian also gathered the Yin Shi family in the city in the city god temple, knew the righteousness of defending the city, announced the measures to donate food and silver, registered the number of volunteers, and the less was added to the public discussion.

In addition, Zhu Wannian also organized the people to destroy the temples and pavilions outside the city, build a high wall in front of the city gate tower, place arrow curtains on the battlements, place Hongyi cannons in the four corners of the four city towers, and pile up thunder stones and prepare hooks and forks under the battlements.

stunned to deploy a city in an orderly manner, like an iron wall.

However, although this iron wall is very useful to the original Kong Youde rebels, it is obviously not enough in front of the Dengzhou Army, an army whose firearms are more powerful than time and space.

Therefore, to lay down Laizhou City, Wang Rui actually has no doubts.

But what about casualties? This is not something that Lord Wang can control.

The closer he got to Laizhou City, Wang Rui was worried: Will it be because the weapons of the Dengzhou army are sharper, but it will cause greater casualties among the soldiers and civilians of Laizhou?

There was no psychological pressure on Wang Rui, a shoddy official and gentry, to order him to order soldiers to fire at ordinary Ming soldiers and ordinary people, Lord Wang still felt extremely difficult.

Moreover, in this time and space, because Chen Song controlled the people of Kong Youde, after Chen Songbu pretended to be a fake rebel, their behavior in various parts of Shandong changed dramatically compared to the original Kong Ministry.

Kong Youde and others fled with a group of rebels to find a way, while Chen Songbu was purging various prefectures and counties in Shandong in a planned and purposeful manner.

As a consequence of this, countless Shandong officials and gentry were all destroyed.

Of course, Wang Rui didn't feel anything wrong with such a situation. If the Han nation wants to rebuild the majesty of the strong man, it must pay the price of iron and blood!

Since there is a price to pay, let the moths pay.

However, after the tragedy in various parts of Shandong reached Laizhou, it made the officials and gentry of Laizhou City unprecedentedly united. They paid a lot of money to keep the rebels from the south out of the city.

In the face of the huge casualties that may be caused to the people of Laizhou City, Lord Wang, who is used to being as hard as iron, still can't help but hesitate!
