"The Generalissimo has been unconscious since he returned to the city, and I should wait for what to do. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Since yesterday, Mao Chenglu led the army to retreat to the city under the response of Geng Zhongming, Li Jiucheng's injuries have been serious, and the high fever has not gone away, until last night, he actually fell asleep and could not wake up, which suddenly made the generals in the city panic.

Li Yingyuan, the son of Li Jiucheng, was even more anxious to go out of the city and avenge his father, but unfortunately he was stopped, staying in the room at the moment, and said hatefully,

"How is it good, how is it good?! Are we just waiting to die in the city?! ”

"Can't you just rest in peace? Didn't you see Lang Zhong healing the generalissimo? If something goes wrong, do you think we'll do us any good? ”

Geng Zhongming is also on fire, he was surrounded by the Ming army, people's hearts are a little fluctuating, and now the marshal is unconscious and unable to command the whole army to fight, he as the second person who succeeded Chen Shi and became the rebel, and now he shoulders the heavy responsibility of the survival of the entire army.

Fortunately, he still has a bit of majesty in the army, and he was also listed as a general with Li Jiucheng in Dongjiang Town, so this reprimand told Li Yingyuan to shut up, and he sulked alone on the side.

"How is it, Master Su, the generalissimo's injury."

Geng Zhongming couldn't trust Langzhong, who was born in the Shandong military and civilians in the city, so he specially invited this Su Langzhong, who retreated from Liaodong to Denglai with them, to take a look, and now seeing that he got up slightly, he suddenly came up nervously and asked,

Su Langzhong glanced at the generals in the room for a moment, and then sighed, "Alas, please forgive the old man for being rude, the injuries suffered by the generalissimo are all caused by the iron nails of the cannon, and the wounds are rotten, and it seems that there is dirt stained and burned red, and then there is this symptom, but Dengzhou City is besieged." I can only maintain the generalissimo's injury for the time being, if the generalissimo still does not wake up in the past two days, then~"

"So what? You're talking about it! ”

When everyone present heard this, their hearts immediately cooled. If something happens to Li Jiucheng, what will happen to their future? But Li Yingyuan was even more anxious, the one who was lying down and could die at any time was his father! So he came up and grabbed Su Langzhong's clothes and yelled hard.

Geng Zhongming is even bigger. He is now the highest-ranking deputy marshal in the rebel army, but his own ability knows that if he is allowed to guard a rear team and order the infantry reinforcements, it will be successful, but the commander of tens of thousands of troops will fight to the death with the imperial court and win, he will never have this ability, everything has to wait for Li Jiucheng to come out and make an idea, if he dies, I am afraid that there will be no way out for his people.

"Su Langzhong, to this day. We are all grasshoppers on the same line, the official army has broken the city, I am afraid that the soldiers and civilians from Liaodong will not be spared, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly. ”

Su Lang Zhongben still had some thoughts about the overall situation, after all, his next words were likely to cause panic, but seeing Geng Zhongming, the deputy commander of the army, he said so. He could only say,

"The generalissimo had a high fever and his whole body was hot, and I only poured it with anti-fire medicine. If the generalissimo does not wake up within two days, he will never wake up. ”

"What? If you quack doctor can't save my father, I'll kill you alive. ”

Li Yingyuan was immediately excited, thinking of the ending of his father's death. He couldn't accept it, he was in a bad mood for a while, looking at Su Langzhong, who was powerless in front of him, he was dazed, grabbed his collar, and struggled, and the tiger was round, as if he wanted to eat people.

It's a pity that Su Langzhong can only face him with a wry smile, "You should be old and incompetent,"

There are tens of thousands of Liaodong soldiers and civilians in the city, who doesn't rely on Li Jiucheng to fight against the imperial court to survive? If it were possible, Su Langzhong would rather exchange his life for Li Jiucheng, so that at least his family could be saved, but now, all hope is gone.

"That's it, Ying Yuan, bring Su Langzhong down, don't spread this kind of news, so as not to affect the morale of the army."

At this point, Geng Zhongming forced himself to give an order, but a sense of powerlessness rose in his heart, and he slammed his fist on the side of the bed for a long time, and said hatefully,

"The court doesn't give us a way to live, and insists on killing us, the generalissimo is now seriously ill, how can I afford the lives of tens of thousands of brothers alone."

Mao Chenglu, Mao Chengfu, Gao Chengyou, Chen Guangfu and other generals were all present, but no one spoke.

Just as he was hesitating, someone from outside the house reported, "Generalissimo, outside the city, there are Shen Zi Banner and Shang Zi Banner Army and Horse Character from the north. ”

"What? Shen Shikui and Mao Yongxi arrived? ”

Geng Zhongming got up suddenly, his heart shook wildly, these people in Dongjiang Town are all counted,

Mao Yongxi, Mao Wenlong's righteous son (a righteous grandson,), now Dongjiang Town's Pingliao deputy general Shang Kexi is also, when Kong Youde was Mao Yougong, he Geng Zhongming, also surnamed Mao's righteous son, but after Mao Wenlong was killed, there was first the deputy chief soldier Zhang Tao, and then the deputy chief soldier Shen Shikui, who controlled the soldiers and horses of Dongjiang Town,

If this is the case, these people will not have come to this point, and everything is to blame for the imperial court for ignoring the demands of the Dongjiang family, and sending Huanglong troops other than the Dongjiang family to get to this point.

If Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde rebelled against the Ming because they were forced to do so, then Geng Zhongming and Chen sometimes rebelled against the Ming, and that was as it should be.

Chen is sometimes the deputy general of Lushun, when he was stationed on Phi Island, he was also the son of Mao Wenlong, after Mao Wenlong was killed, he first fought with Chen Jisheng on the island for power, at that time, it was regarded as standing in Liu Xingzhi's group, and after Liu Xingzhi became a deputy general, many of Mao Wenlong's old departments left behind have taken refuge, and once occupied the absolute advantage of the soldiers and horses in Dongjiang Town, Phi Island.

Even if Shen Shikui and Chen Jisheng joined forces at that time, they were not necessarily Liu Xingzhi's opponents, but soon, a series of actions of the imperial court, including the Guanning army at that time, were also dissatisfied with Dongjiang Town's distribution of military salaries, so they took action together to trap Liu Xingzhi's group, not only so that his brother was not given a cent of pension after he died in Liaodong in the war, but also excluded many people.

So Liu Xingzhi was angry and raised troops to rebel, once drove away Shen Shikui and Chen Jisheng, and killed Chen Jisheng, the deputy general of Dongjiang Town, who had been squeezing out against him, and monopolized Phi Island, but soon he was defeated by the Ming court, and his family was killed.

And Chen sometimes lived in Lushun, alone in charge of a group of soldiers and horses, and never set foot in Phi Island again, but Shen Shikui rose and competed for power with the new Dongjiang deputy chief Zhang Tao, and it intensified, but in a balance consideration, or perhaps because he was frightened by a series of rebellions of old generals in Dongjiang Town, the imperial court sent Huang Long, who had nothing to do with Dongjiang soldiers and horses in the past, as the chief military officer.

In this way, whether it was Shen Shikui, who married his daughter to Mao Wenlong, or Zhang Tao, who was transferred to Denglai as the chief soldier, they all lost the opportunity to get their hands on the highest power in Dongjiang Town, and after that, Huanglong, an outsider, began to clean up the old generals of Mao Wenlong on Phi Island step by step, and once caused a mutiny, and even Geng Zhongming, an old general who fled to Denglai, was affected.

In October of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Geng Zhongming's brother Geng Zhongyu, because of the illegal trafficking of sea ships and merchants, and disobeyed the commander of Huanglong, after being discovered, for some reason, Huanglong wrote to the court and informed Denglai that all the ministers who belonged to Wang Tingchen, Geng Zhongyu, Li Mei, Wang Sunchen, etc., smuggled privately, and were bold and reckless, and after the incident was leaked, the soldiers surrounded the general army yamen and burned the account books.

destroyed the evidence, and robbed all the detained personnel and materials, so on the second day, Huang Long sent troops to arrest him, beheaded Geng Zhongming's brother Geng Zhongyu for public display, and also sent a letter asking the general soldiers of Denglai to arrest Geng Zhongming and others to ask for the guilt together.

So when Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde rebelled, Geng Zhongming immediately ordered the opening of the city gate in Dengzhou as an internal response, in order to report this evil breath, but in this, what kind of role Shen Shikui has been playing, God knows.

"Let's go, let's see why these two dog thieves are together."

Geng Zhongming has one in Dongjiang Town, Mao Youjie, and Shang Kexi (Mao Yongxi) and Jin Hengsheng (Mao Shiheng) were brothers and uncles back then.

Mao Chenglu was even more worried, when he was the deputy general of Dongjiang, he raised troops to resist salary, and when he was demoted, Shang Kexi didn't say a word, but it really broke his heart, which is why he has been following Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng, because of these brothers, they are willing to contribute to him.

……

"Hengsheng, what do you mean? Seeing that so many brothers are about to reach a dead end, how can I bear it? ”

Shang Kexi is by no means a ruthless person, just talking about Jin Hengsheng, he is determined to respond internally, just wait for Kong Youde to kill from behind, and he will raise troops to respond, I have to say that in order to quickly exterminate the rebels in Dengzhou, the imperial court really took a step of mediocrity, that is, to order Shen Shikui, the deputy chief soldier of Dongjiang Town, to lead 8,000 troops across the sea to help, which may be a faint chess to bury the Shandong counterinsurgency army in one fell swoop.

"Adjutant General, I have a word first, the court has been unfair to me in Dongjiang Town, Yuan Dudu in the past, Zhou Shiyin yesterday, Huanglong today, etc., are all jackals, I expect that Shen Shikui is the same, this year, it is not even appropriate to talk about it, if you ask me to fight the city, don't think about it!"

Jin Hengsheng gritted his teeth and said a word, then stared at Shang Kexi's eyes for a long time and didn't speak.

Shang Kexi glanced at the city from afar, and also shook his head and said, "Why did you come to this point, but now, the deputy chief soldier Shen Shikui is bullying too much, and the army has not allocated money for three months, I am just afraid that there will be a stir, and tens of thousands of troops around are on the side, one is not good, we even have to ride in ourselves." ”

Why not, the imperial court sent soldiers and horses from Dongjiang Town to the south, in order to let them break with the rebels here, what a good calculation! (To be continued.) )
