Chapter 213: A Pot of Porridge in Shandong

Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Dengzhou, is actually a technical nerd, and he is an expert in Western artillery. Mr. Sun not only knows how to use cannons, can shoot cannons, but also can make cannons, and the cannons he makes are not much different from the things used by Westerners.

Speaking of which, Sun Yuanhua's technology is still good, because he can get into the position of the governor of Dengzhou today, without relying on relationships, backstage, or fame, people are really the technical superior.

Sun Yuanhua was not born as a Jinshi, but just a person, and then because of the appreciation of Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi, he was able to take up an official position abroad, and slowly, step by step, he became the governor of Dengzhou.

In addition to this, Sun Yuanhua was also a baptized Christian.

Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde can only be regarded as little brothers working under Sun Yuanhua, of course, after a long time, they also learned some fur skills for making artillery.

Therefore, after Kong Youde caught Sun Yuanhua, he was still very polite, after all, he was his old boss and old leader, and there was indeed no personal grudge between the two.

Sun Yuanhua lives by virtue of this relationship, but his heart is very big, not only to live by himself, but also to save the people of the entire Shandong, doing homework day and night in prison, once Kong Youde or Geng Zhongming comes, he will talk endlessly to persuade.

persuaded the two strong men to get lost and return, wear their guilt and make meritorious contributions, and swore a promise that as long as I, Sun Yuanhua, go to the court to plead, I will definitely let you Zhao'an, what official was Zhao'an before, what official is still an official after Zhao'an, after all, your Kong Youde mutiny is also a last resort!

When Kong Youde heard this, his heart was moved!

Because he also understands a very simple truth, that is, the arm can't twist the thigh. Don't look at the fact that he is now leading hundreds of thousands of people to capture several state capitals on the Shandong Peninsula for a while and a half, it will be very happy, but if the court gets tired of playing one day, hundreds of thousands of troops will instantly surround Shandong, and they don't know how to die.

It seems that the future is perfect, surrender can ensure that the official position remains unchanged, and if you don't surrender, it is estimated that sooner or later you will die.

As for the surrender of the Manchurian Tatars, who were pointed to the graves of the eighteenth generation of their ancestors and scolded from beginning to end, Kong Youde has not thought about it so far. The dignified and upright officials of the Tomorrow Dynasty went to a wild boar skin country, and Kong Youde had indeed not reached that step.

So, under the persuasion of Governor Sun, Kong Youde surrendered very, very sincerely.

Kong Youde said that he was willing to Zhao'an!

In order to show his sincerity, he also released the governor Sun Yuanhua.

It turns out that Sun Yuanhua is a very moral person, and after being released by Kong Youde, he immediately interceded for his little brother, and wrote to the court saying that Kong Youde agreed to Zhao'an.

Xiong Mingyu, the secretary of the military department, verbally said that it doesn't matter, the imperial court has already made a decision, that is, it is to Zhao'an, you wait. In fact, this is indeed the case, because the edict of the imperial court has been issued, and as for when it will reach Sun Yuanhua's hands, only Wang Daochun knows.

Perhaps, it won't be able to reach it in this life, right?

It stands to reason that Jingshi is not far from the Shandong Peninsula, and it will take seven or eight days to come and go if you hurry up, but after waiting for about twenty days and still not seeing the edict of Zhao'an, Kong Youde can no longer afford to wait. His brothers began to grow more and more frightened and restless day by day.

Kong Youde believes that eighty percent of Zhao'an's affairs are going to be yellow.

The generals under him are also afraid of losing their heads, and when they eat together at night, they add up a little, forget it, since the court does not let us Zhao'an, and then rebel, anyway, the Shandong soldiers are not as good as the Liaodong soldiers, and they will generally win when they fight.

The soldiers mutinied again!

Now you can't control your face.

Sun Yuanhua exerted the unique ability of the technical nerd, and he didn't know how to discuss it with the soldiers, anyway, this mutiny made him suppress it with a mouth.

Master Sun couldn't wait, he decided to leave for Beijing, and personally went to the cabinet to ask, what the hell is going on, why hasn't Shandong's Zhao'an been approved yet?

But he couldn't calculate it, and as soon as he moved on his front foot, there was a fire in the backyard of his back foot.

On the second day after Sun Yuanhua left, he ordered Shen Tingyu and Tao Hualong to lead 4,000 people into Dengzhou and storm the rebel army.

Now the joke is bigger.

Kong Youde thought that the imperial court was deceiving and delaying, and in a fit of anger, he led the rebels to scatter Wang Daochun's two-way soldiers and horses, and waved his army straight down, connecting Linyi, Lingxian, Shanghe, Qingcheng and other big cities in ten days.

At this time, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others were determined to rebel and forged the seal of "Generalissimo", Li Jiucheng was called Generalissimo, Kong Youde was Deputy Marshal, and Geng Zhongming claimed to be the Metropolitan Governor. Gather the Liaodong people in the entire Shandong territory, and after integration, they will get 30,000 infantry, 10,000 cavalry, and 6,000 naval troops, and reward the sergeants with all the looted property.

The morale of the army was greatly boosted, and for a time it was invincible, and the armies of Shandong were vulnerable.

Ten days later, half of Shandong fell, and Kong Youde's power and prestige reached its peak.

Kong Youde occupied the cities of Shandong, plundered the wealthy, and obtained a very considerable amount of real money, but these were not the main ones. The most important thing is that Sun Yuanhua's family background was inherited by Kong Quede, and the whole Shandong is the most advanced production base of Daming artillery and muskets, with the most advanced artillery technology, but it was swept up by Kong Youde.

According to the normal development of history, Kong Youde took these firearms to his father Huang Taiji after a year of troubles on the Shandong Peninsula, and since then the Manchu Qing Dynasty has firearms, and since then, the Manchu Dynasty has really become a great disaster for the Ming Dynasty!

……

"It's not normal!"

"It's not normal!"

"It's not normal!"

Su Baiyi and the others sat on the northernmost cliff of the island and looked north, and there was no sail in the vast sea.

It's been more than 20 days on the island, and unfortunately, not even the smallest sailboat has been seen.

"Of course not!" Shi Dian's image today can be described as a good explosion, not only wearing a long shirt, but also taking care of his beard and hair, and wearing a net towel on his forehead like everyone else, he looks like a Sven beast from a distance.

The crowd turned around and looked at him disapprovingly.

Shi Dian stopped talking for a while, lowered his head and continued to eat sweet potatoes.

Sweet potatoes, what a good thing.

"Alas......" Shi Dian sighed deeply, squatted on the ground and shook his head: "You guys are leaving, where else can I get sweet potatoes to eat?" ”

In the past few days, Su Baiyi's "luck" is simply bursting, and he can pick up more than a dozen sweet potatoes from the island every day, which provokes everyone to run up the mountain every day in addition to completing their own tasks, hoping to find a few more sweet potatoes to come out.

But the result!

There is no room for optimism.

"There are no sweet potatoes, you can also eat fish and shrimp, as well as the hares and pheasants on this mountain, which are fragrant after barbecue, and they taste fat but not greasy, and they also have a unique taste!" Su Baiyi smiled and teased.

Shi Dian shook his head very seriously: "What you said is good, but there is a big problem here." ”

"What's the problem?" Eunuch Zhao Heng asked curiously.

"It doesn't matter if you eat, but what about Kela?" Shi Dian didn't see everyone's disgusted and disdainful expressions at all, and said a little distractedly: "You don't know, eat these things all day long, my old man pulls, alas, I can't pull it out......"

"Shut up!"

"Shut up!"

"Damn it!"

Shi Dian's words resonated with everyone.

Not really!

I have survived on the island for more than 20 days, and in addition to eating meat for three meals a day, I eat meat, and the only few sweet potatoes have to be occupied by this old miscellaneous hair alone, so everyone is stumped by the third of the four words "eat, drink and Lazar".

It's really a problem, not only does it hurt, but it also doesn't go down!

"Okay, okay, okay, don't talk about it, anyway, we can leave in a few days!" Su Baiyi smiled secretly in his heart, wondering if he wanted to get them some vegetables to improve, if it was in this state every day, sooner or later he would have to block it.

"That's right!" Su Baiyi pondered for a while, and then said to himself: "You said that those Mongolian tartars don't eat meat like us every day, and there are no vegetables and no fruits, won't they encounter such an embarrassing problem?" ”

"Of course!" Gu Zhong said: "You scholars just look down on us merchants, and the problem of Mongolian Tatars must not be solved by us merchants?" ”

"How to fix it?"

"Rhubarb!" Gu Zhong said: "Every year, businessmen go to the Mongolian steppe to sell rhubarb, and Mongolian Tartars point to this work day by day, without rhubarb, they can't even pull out." So, we businessmen have a lot to offer......"

"What do you mean, you merchants solved the problem of the life of the Mongol Tatars, so it is great?" Su Baiyi asked.

"That's it!" Gu Zhong smiled.

Su Baiyi said: "You go to the court to talk about it, and see if you will be abandoned as a traitor?" ”

"This ......" Gu Zhong looked at Su Baiyi, and then at the two eunuchs, and the cold sweat on his face flowed down at once. There is no way, the status of a businessman is too low, if an official like Su Baiyi wants to mess with him, he really doesn't need reasons and evidence, and a sentence can make him bankrupt.

"No, no, no, Master Su, you can't take it seriously, my surname Gu is talking nonsense, it's just hearsay, hearsay!" Gu Zhong secretly scolded his mouth for not twitching, and slapped his hand twice on his cheeks.

Su Baiyi laughed and patted him on the shoulder.

"Boat, boat, boat, there is a boat!" Shi Dian, who was eating sweet potatoes, suddenly shouted, and pointed his hand towards the sea across the cliff.

Everyone quickly turned their heads and looked towards the sea one by one, and sure enough, they saw two small black dots coming this way.

"It's a boat, that's right!" Gu Zhong jumped up excitedly: "It seems that it is still a merchant ship, Master Su, you must intercept it, otherwise you don't know when the next ship will come again!" ”

"Yes, it must be intercepted!" Su Baiyi's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at the two sailors beside Gu Zhong, and looked at Shi Dian with bad intentions: "Mr. Shi, please do me a favor, if you can intercept the boat, I will invite you to eat sweet potato rice!" ”
