Chapter 43: Miserable! Battle of Yaozhou

With Yuan Keli handing over a letter to the Beijing Division, I don't know when, on the newspapers of all sizes in the empire, such a news flowed out, saying that the island marshal Mao Wenlong was a person who could handle heavy responsibilities back then, how could he misuse people, such as Geng Zhongming, a traitorous villain by his side. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Perennial instigation, so that his temperament changed greatly, unruly, in order to control the army, Yuan Chonghuan had to kill him. Now Geng Zhongming led the army to rebel, openly surrendered to the enemy, and betrayed his ancestors is the best example.

However, the old generals of the island handsome, such as Chen Jisheng, Liu Guangzuo and Mao Chengzuo, the son of the island marshal Mao Wenlong, jointly wrote a letter, denouncing Geng Zhongming for being arrogant and treacherous, and he was the scum who brought disaster to the country and the people. (During this period, Mao Chengzuo has been transferred from the Dongjiang River by Zhu Jian, living in Beijing, and riding the captain from the four grades, and then after the matter of Mao Wenlong is over, he is matched with the daughter of the county king, and Zhu Jian is enveloped by the old generals of the Dongjiang River, which is a later story.) )

With the news of these news, the Emperor's statement was published in the Imperial Daily and the Imperial Party Party Affairs Newspaper, which were the throat of the Empire.

Although the island marshal Mao Wenlong has great military exploits, he uses people improperly, and eventually treacherous and demagoguery. Later, Yuan Chonghuan had no choice but to kill him, although he was suspected of being overbearing, but he had to suffer.

However, rewards and punishments should be clearly distinguished, and the merit should not be deserved, and the merit should not be deserved. Although Yuan Chonghuan's suspicion of exaggeration is a great crime, but God has the virtue of a good life, and Yuan Chonghuan wrote a letter to apologize, although I am lenient with words, but this case must not set a precedent, so it must be punished.

I thought that the death penalty could be avoided, but the living crime could not be escaped, and Yuan Chonghuan should be punished with a hundred rods for the edict, but because Yuan Chonghuan guarded Liaodong, the involvement was important, and many old ministers interceded for it, so a hundred rods were responsible for the power and recorded, and then dealt with it after the trouble of the gold was settled in the coming day, and he was punished for one year to set an example.

However, Yuan Chonghuan's pretentiousness, after all, is fair for the country, so he deducted a year's salary, and within one year, his money was all out of the emperor's treasury.

......

Although the island marshal Mao Wenlong is unruly and has the suspicion of seven crimes, he has already died, so he has been punished.

However, he has made great achievements in the war in front of him, and has been operating the Dongjiang River for many years, and has many merits, so he gave his martial arts and gave the prince Shaobao and Dongjiang Bo.

......

However, when the government and the opposition were talking about the emperor's matter of Mao Wenlong, in Laizhou City at this time, Geng Zhongming was still busy collecting many ships and utensils used to cross the sea.

However, on the front line of Laizhou's coastal defense, Yu Zhigao, who came all the way in embarrassment, was sitting in the tent of the Chinese military camp, and looked at each other angrily, as if he was tense.

The next person is named Liu Zhaoji, but he is also a famous person in history. Liu Zhaoji, the word Dingwei, is a native of Liaodong. Born in the family of Jiangmen, the hereditary commander of the ancestors, he was a famous general of the anti-Qing Dynasty at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and Shi Kefa was famous for guarding Yangzhou.

It can be said that the general died in a hundred battles, leaving Yangzhou to hate!

In the meantime, Liu Zhaoji is the deputy chief soldier of Laizhou Town, because he has been in office for more than three months, this Yu Zhigao does not ask about the world every day, and Liu Zhaoji has also met many times, so this Liu Zhaoji has always been training and preparing for war on the front line of coastal defense.

But if you don't come, there will be a big mess when you come, and it's a shocking mess!

Laizhou City was actually invaded by an unknown army of thieves!

Yu Zhigao fled for his life, but he wanted to gather troops to recapture Laizhou City in one fell swoop. But as soon as he heard this, Liu Zhaoji didn't do it, damn it, the Laizhou City that you Yu Zhigao lost, you want us to help you take it back, no way!

The most important thing is not here, but in Liu Zhaoji's view, this Laizhou City is the front line of coastal defense, which is much more important than Laizhou City, if once the troops are sent to seize Laizhou City, resulting in insufficient coastal defense troops, once there are thieves crossing the sea to attack at this time, it will undoubtedly be a disaster! Compared to the loss of this Laizhou City, it really can't be compared.

But Yu Zhigao doesn't care about this, he only knows that this Laizhou City was lost by him, as the general soldier of Laizhou, he even lost his own territory, it is not a joke to say it, the most important thing is that as the general soldier of a town, he lost his own military town, according to the latest military law of the Ming Empire, whoever is responsible for what happens, and this kind of major event is to be beheaded!

For this reason, Yu Zhigao is not in a hurry to recapture Laizhou City!

Therefore, one side is eager to regain the lost city, but the other side is important to coastal defense, and it must not be easily mobilized! With this, the two sides formed a confrontation.

It can be described as saber rattling, just in a moment.

Finally, Yu Zhigao couldn't sit still, after all, as the chief soldier of the Laizhou military town, the imperial military order, the commander has full power of moderation, although the deputy marshal can appeal, but he must face the official, if the official can't decide, he needs to report to the Ministry of War, the military department can't decide, and then the Imperial Military Commission, if he can't decide, the emperor will decide in person.

The reason why Yu Zhigao was reluctant to use this power of restraint was because he had some concerns in his heart, and as time passed minute by minute, Yu Zhigao could still take care of so much.

But in the end, he was afraid of Liu Zhaoji's right to appeal, although Yu Zhigao at this moment tore his face, but after all, it was not at the moment of tension.

However, he left Liu Zhaoji with a rush of soldiers and horses (there were 800 infantry in a rush, and the new military system reform was not implemented in Laizhou Town at this time, so the old system was still used, according to the configuration of Sun Chengzong's chariot battalion), and then he took 2,000 Yujia troops and 2,000 garrison troops towards Laizhou City.

"Confused! Confused! ”

Seeing Yu Zhigao leading the army away, Liu Zhaoji could only hang his feet and scold a little confused.

But after all, as a famous general, even if he only has a rush of men and horses in his hands, he does not dare to relax in the slightest for important coastal defense areas.

"Yidusi, how much firepower do we have waiting for here?"

Yi Bang Mu is the number one general under Liu Zhaoji, but he has made great achievements, and he has saved Liu Zhaoji many times in the chaotic war, so Liu Zhaoji attaches great importance to this person.

"Returning to the general, the general soldier is here, taking away more than 20 field artillery, more than 30 small cannons (imitation grenadiers), but there are still 10 mobile field guns and 20 small cannons on the front line of Laizhou's coastal defense, and there are 10 heavy artillery pieces in each pillbox, but the muzzle of these artillery guns can only face the sea, but there is this limitation."

Hearing this, Liu Zhaoji was silent for a while, but after a while, it was the Tao.

"I just heard the patrol soldiers who rushed back from Laizhou City said, saying that this group of thieves is about thousands of people, but they are wearing the Dengzhou military uniform of the Ming Dynasty, and I think there must be a rebellion in Dengzhou, and this group of people is actually coming to Laizhou, and I heard that they are plundering the large and small sea-crossing ships in our city, it seems that it is not their purpose to break through Laizhou City!"

Hearing what Liu Zhaoji said, Yi Bangmu's brows were also a little frowned.

"The general is saying that the rebels' attack on Laizhou City is not the intention of the drunkard, but the front line of my coastal defense?!"

"Yes, Laizhou is the best place to go to sea along my coastal defense line."

"Then why didn't the general inform Lord Yu of this?"

At this time, Yi Bangmu was a little puzzled.

"Tell him?! It's useless, what the chief soldier cares about most is not what the thief is going to do. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Zhaoji sighed.

"Why?"

"Why? Of course, it's just that Laizhou city! What's more, Ben will only be a guess. ”

......

After the two of them spoke, Liu Zhaoji acted, although it was just speculation, but it was not groundless, he Liu Zhaoji had to take action.

"Bangmu, most of the thieves are cavalry, this Laicheng coastal defense line, out of the Gulan Gorge, is a horse Pingchuan, Bangmu, you quickly lead the troops to arrange minefields in the canyon, set up more thistles, and arrange ten small cannons on both sides of the canyon, as soon as the thieves arrive, let him taste the power of my Laizhou army!"
