Chapter 261: Attack on Yidu
In the twelfth year of Chongzhen, Wenxiang taught thousands of rebellious soldiers to take advantage of the situation to besiege Pingdu Prefecture City, Denglai General Soldiers could not come out of Wang Zheng, and sent two thousand soldiers to aid Pingdu Prefecture, and outflanked with one thousand soldiers, one thousand regular soldiers, and six hundred horses and horses.
On 2 May, the Dengzhou battalion won a great victory in Pingdu Prefecture, beheading more than 1,000 ranks, capturing 4,000 rebellious people, and the news spread all over Shandong.
Having said that, there were more than 4,000 prisoners after the war, which was more than all the soldiers of the Dengzhou battalion who were surrounded inside and outside at that time.
But then I was surprised to find that these people were so depressed that none of them dared to escape, and they were honestly dispersed under the guard of the soldiers or salters as ordered.
These more than 4,000 people are refugees from all over the world, but it is not excluded that there are sporadic people who smell incense and fish in troubled waters, and after consulting with the Military Council, Wang Zheng decided to disperse them in the salt farms, salt fields, and Zhuangtian fields in various parts of Denglai and Lai Prefectures.
Those who have a family and a family of more than three are treated equally with foreign refugees in household registration, field division, cattle distribution, etc., and the rest of the self-employed people stay in the salt fields, salt fields, and farms in various places as helpers to become self-reliant.
The battle of the Dengzhou battalion can be said to be very casualty, Wang Zheng immediately issued a military order, from the regular soldiers to select the outstanding into the soldiers, all over the salt Ding held auditions, to make up for the shortcomings at the same time, the selection of outstanding people to become the descendants of the salt Ding responsible for the command.
Not to mention the excitement of the people everywhere to join the army to sign up, right now in the Penglai Marshal Mansion, the large and small Dengzhou battalion generals and the staff officers of the Military Council Department are all gathered under Wang Zheng, as if they are discussing something important.
The atmosphere in the main hall of the Marshal's Mansion was suffocating, so silent that even the silver needles could be heard clearly on the ground, and Wang Zheng was wearing armor and carrying a knife, walking back and forth with his hands on it, as if he was considering some proposal.
After the deliberations of the civil and military generals of the Dengzhou battalion, no one said a word again, just quietly waiting for the decision of the person at the front.
Liu Zeqing's calamity this time led to an unprecedented damage to the Dengzhou battalion, and this damage was no victory at all.
Even if it wins, except for recruiting thousands of refugees, there is nothing to speak of, and Pingdu Prefecture is already full of holes, especially Weixian, which bears the brunt of the battle, and it is difficult to recover without a year and a half.
Strictly speaking, the Dengzhou battalion was calculated.
Fighting refugees in their own territory, although they knew that they were bewitched, the soldiers of the Dengzhou battalion also had to kill the killers, not to mention that the military generals of the Dengzhou battalion hated Liu Zeqing very much.
Liu Zeqing's behavior this time has completely touched Wang Zheng's bottom line.
Suddenly, the king turned his head violently, raised his sword and shouted:
"Dispatch all over the garrison to garrison one percent of the main soldiers, one percent of the salt ding, two thousand soldiers, there are changes in Yidu City, and follow the town to help General Liu's troops to help suppress the chaos!"
"The last general and others must obey the military orders of Zhentai!"
Everyone who had been prepared for a long time immediately gave a military salute, while Li Yan, Guan Qingtian, Gu Junen and other military officials gave up.
Dengzhou Yingping won the battle of Duzhou, and won a great victory again, which really shook Shandong.
But after the Dengzhou battalion won the battle, he did not rush to report the merits to the imperial court and ask for a reward, but said that he had not won the battle, and most of the rebels ran out of the territory of Laizhou Mansion.
There is nothing wrong with beating the water dogs, even if the Dengzhou battalion runs out of the boundary of the two prefectures of Denglai and meddles in the outside world, but the generals from all over the country are too late to fight for the king, how dare they accuse it.
What's more, even his subordinates restrained him, saying that when the Dengzhou camp was crossing, he must not cause anything, and if he was caught by the tiger, he would definitely not be able to beat him, and he would die at that time.
The army of the Dengzhou battalion chased the unwarranted rebels to the boundary of Qingzhou Mansion, and soon people from all over the country discovered that they seemed to be heading for Yidu.
However, isn't this Yidu the current Shandong commander-in-chief Liu Zeqing's station, how did he go to the Dengzhou battalion to chase the remnants of the rebellious people to Yidu?
After pondering back and forth, some sharp-eyed people immediately understood, and after understanding, they didn't say much, but just kept giving gifts to Penglai, which obviously belonged to the behavior of competing to stand in line.
At present, Shandong is the first in strength, and there is absolutely no one to refute it in the Dengzhou battalion under Wang Zheng.
On the contrary, Liu Bu of Guan Zeqing happened to be in Qingzhou Mansion when the Xiangxiang Sect was in turmoil, and he could have rushed to quell the chaos, but he ran faster than a rabbit, and he couldn't shrink out of Yidu City.
Just like when Donglu entered the Kou last year, the urine of Liu's soldiers and horses was as usual, but they were still so weak, and the only thing worthy of praise was the number of 3,000 generals, but even the people gradually couldn't be suppressed.
Yidu, as the capital of Qingzhou Prefecture, was originally regarded as one of several large towns in Qingzhou Prefecture, although it was not ranked in the whole Shandong, but there were also a lot of property and people around it in the past.
But since Liu Zeqing took the soldiers and horses to camp here, the people are decreasing day by day, and some large families in the city have almost moved away in the first few days, and the rest are nothing more than those civil officials in the prefect's yamen who want to leave but can't go.
The official bodies of these literati have nailed them here, no matter how arrogant Liu Ministry's people are, they can only turn a blind eye, and the prefect Bai Ruheng uses civilian power to suppress the local military generals, but when he meets Liu Zeqing, he is a show to meet a soldier, and it is better to pretend to be dumb.
Although Liu Bu did not fight against Donglu last year, nor did he achieve any results in this Wenxiang Sect rebellion, he still has a very "loud" reputation among the people nearby.
Of course, this kind of loudness is not the same as the Dengzhou battalion Lian Jie Lian Jie, when it comes to Liu Zeqing's Liu Ministry, the people inside and outside Yidu are all gnashing their teeth, and they can stink their reputation like this, and our Liu Da soldiers should also be proud.
......
Early this morning, the prefect's yamen of Yidu City ushered in an uninvited guest.
It turned out that a servant ran in like a child, and before he got to the place, he heard him pull his neck and shout:
"Lord Futai, it's not good, Lord Futai!"
Bai Ruheng, the prefect of Qingzhou, had just gotten up early and was playing with the birds when he suddenly saw this official rushing in like a burning buttocks, and he was immediately displeased, frowning and asking:
"What happened?"
"Dengzhou camp, Dengzhou camp has thousands of people into the city!"
"What, what you said is true, the leader is the king of the three armies??
When he heard the officer's affirmative answer, he also had a "bang" in his mind.
The heart said that he had created some kind of evil, was he a heinous sinner in his previous life, and he was looking forward to Liu Zeqing, the plague god, leaving quickly, who would have thought that this plague god had not left, and there was a more powerful one over there.
The Dengzhou battalion is not an ordinary local officer army, and the results of the pen are all verified and stacked up with heads, especially last year.
The lone army went deep into Liaodong, not only beheaded 3,000 Jiannu and captured Xingjing Hetuala, but also captured the daughters and widows of the old chieftain Nurhachi.
I heard that during the Spring Festival, Emperor Chongzhen beheaded all the widows and children of a group of old slave chiefs, including Nen Zhe, in order to be happy.
It is impossible for this army to come to Yidu for no reason, and they have never met the king, let alone have any deep hatred, and they must not be coming for themselves.
Thinking of this, Bai Ruheng asked:
"Then Wang Zheng can be said to be here for what, can the Dengzhou camp move after entering the city?"
"Yes, it was said that he came to arrest the remnants of the Wenxiang Sect, and after entering the city, he blocked the three gates and all streets and roads, and now Wang Zheng is heading to the south of the city!"
"Go to the south of the city, but our yamen is in the north of the city!" Bai Ruheng pondered for a moment, isn't the south where Liu Zeqing lives!
At that moment, he directly slapped the servant, and roared with spit flying:
"Get out! Hurry up and get away from this mansion, what does the matter of those military generals have to do with our prefect's yamen! ”
The official was slapped in the mouth for no reason, although his mind was full of doubts, but he also understood the meaning of Bai Ruheng's words, and immediately turned his head and ran out and ordered.
All the people who patrol the yamen must hide far away and act at the opportune time.
