Chapter 388: Poverty Denglai
Liaozhen cleaned up the battlefield, more than 100 soldiers were killed, more than 100 were seriously injured, more than 200 were slightly injured, the number of dead was not much, but more than 500 war horses died, once these war horses were hit by firearms, they were basically helpless.

When they gathered the wounded and came to Dengzhou, it was already evening, when Zu Dale and other resettlement soldiers camped outside the south gate, Zu Dale, Zu Dabi, Zu Kuan and others were going to lead hundreds of guards into the city to rest, Wu Sangui, who was holding his stomach, did not plan to step into Dengzhou controlled by Zhao Lie, he was young and vigorous.
Zu Dale and the others are different, after many days of marching and fighting, there is no time to rest, and now they just want to do one thing, take a good bath and eat a big meal.
Unfortunately, although the wish is good, it is not easy to achieve.
They were stopped at the gates by the Breakers, who made it clear that they could only bring ten guards into the city.
Zu Dale and the others jumped violently on the spot, and the soldiers of the Broken Army were in a stalemate at the city gate.
As a result, a thousand teams of the Broken Garrison Army rushed out of the city to confront Zu Dale and others, and Wu Sangui waited for a thousand soldiers to also come to the city gate to respond.
So the two armies began to fight again, and the matter was so big that Zhu Dadian had to take the idea.
Poor Lao Zhu was tired from the journey, and he also wanted to rest early, but he fell asleep for less than half an hour, and he was called left and right.
The annoyance in Zhu Dadian's heart was mentioned.
He immediately ordered the two armies to return to their respective camps and dispose of them the next day.
Both sides gave Lao Zhu face, and went back to the camp that night, but this time Liaozhen suffered a loss, and the city still did not enter.
The next day, Zhao Lie issued a strict order that no matter where the generals came from entering the city, they could only bring ten guards. Violators were expelled from Dengzhou.
Zhao Lie's purpose is very simple. That is, the status quo of Dengzhou being controlled by the Broken Army cannot be broken. Too many soldiers entering the city must not be, of course, the slogan is to reduce the disturbance of the people.
The Liaozhen generals simply didn't enter the city, and they couldn't stand this.
And Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian couldn't take care of these anymore, and they found that they had taken over a mess from now on.
Zhao Lie handed over all the general affairs of Dengzhou to Zhu Dadian, and he was only responsible for the city defense of Dengzhou, and did not care about anything else.
At this time, Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian found that they couldn't shake off a hot potato they had gotten rid of.
Dengzhou City and Water City had more than 40,000 people living at this time. Outside the city, there were 40,000 rebel prisoners guarded by soldiers in Changping, Baoding, Shandong and other places, but there were only a few hundred stones of rice grain and more than 50,000 silver in the city.
In addition, the army has more than 120,000 mouths, but it is such a small family background, in addition, it is necessary to restore the cultivation of Dengzhou, otherwise the winter wheat will not be cultivated, and what will happen tomorrow in spring, it will usher in Denglai, which is full of famine and displaced people.
Zhu Dadian has actually been appointed governor of Shandong. Chen Yingyuan, who moved from the political envoy of Zuobu in Shandong to the governor of Denglai, has not yet arrived, but at this time he still shoulders the responsibility of governor Denglai.
If one is not well placed. When there was a mess, the first person to blame in the court was definitely not Chen Yingyuan, but he Zhu Dadian.
Gao Qiqian is even more so, the days of the Son of Heaven are hard, he is clear, he is a supervising civil and military general, and then there is to put down the rebellion, try to cause as little trouble to the court as possible, this is long live Lord before leaving, the court's financial embarrassment to the extreme.
The two were worried about a basket of bad things, and the result was even more important.
Under the leadership of the commander, several guards under Denglai, such as Weihaiwei, Dasongwei, and Chengshanwei, each brought two or three thousand soldiers and horses to help.
When these commanders heard that Dengzhou was recovered by Zhao Lie, they didn't want to come, they were too shameless, these guards were shocked three times a day during the rebellion, and some military households even defected to join the rebels, making a lot of noise.
It's good that they can hold the guard, let alone anything else, I didn't expect Zhao Lie to defeat the rebels three times just by leading the Jinghai guards and horses to recover Dengzhou.
This made many commanders almost squirt out a mouthful of old blood, can you not be so capable, you Zhao Lie is so capable, wouldn't it be too incompetent to make us wait for the same commander.
So no one thought that Dengzhou would congratulate Zhao Lie, Zhao Lie, you can play by yourself.
When the news of the imperial army coming to Dengzhou came, it was different, that was because he had to go and show his attitude, otherwise he didn't want to mix in the Ming officialdom.
After they arrived in Dedeng Prefecture, Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian ignored these miscellaneous fish, and when the fierce battle was in full swing, none of them were gone, and at this time, after the counterinsurgency was completed, they all came, so let's rest.
They had no choice but to report to the capital.
Today's capital is left with one person in charge, Li Youde.
Tang Qian was executed, Yang Jingtang set himself on fire, and the three giants were left with such a third giant.
Li Youde received these generals and heard the grievances of these soldiers, they have not received food and salary for nearly a year, and the governor of Denglai has been executed, who cares about them, it is good to be able to hold on until now.
However, now they can't hold on anymore, and in their words, they have been using their own private wealth to subsidize military households in the past few months, and if there is no more food and salary, the military households will have insufficient control, and the salary is certain.
Li Youde also knew that this matter could not be delayed any longer, and if it dragged on any longer, tens of thousands of military households in several guard posts in Denglai would really be paid, and some military households who could not survive sold their children and daughters, and even some of them were self-employed.
Li Youde is not capable of solving these problems, he can only ask for instructions, who to ask for, of course, Zhao Lie.
Now Li Youde's gratitude to Zhao Lie is endless, if it weren't for Zhao Lie who used Zhao Haiming's name to bring his family here before the fall of Dengzhou, he would have ended up with Tang Qian.
To tell the truth, the rebels really used knives and guns to coerce him to do things for him, Li Youde really couldn't ignore the lives of his family, and he could only contribute to the rebels with no will.
Therefore, it was Zhao Lie who pulled him out of this quagmire, and now he dares not to serve his life.
Now the first thing he has to do is to ask Zhao Lie, as for Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian, well, I'm sorry, don't you still have to go, this Dengzhou has to be the Zhao family's final say, this Li Youde is really looking at this.
Zhao Lie's reply was very simple, now Denglai's civil and military affairs are in the hands of the superintendent and the supervising army, so they have to be handled by two court officials.
Only then did Li Youde report to Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian, and issued an alarm, which can be regarded as a beacon warning, and Denglai Wei's insistence is insufficient, and there is a danger of consolidating the original in the past.
Guyuan is also because of the arrears of wages, before the Jiannu into the Kou, the military households made a salary to kill the generals and officials, and the governor of Wu Zhiwang was killed, and many soldiers threw themselves to the Shaanxi bandits in the east, which greatly strengthened the military strength of the Shaanxi bandits, which can be said to be an important reason for the expansion of the civil unrest at that time.
Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian were taken aback when they heard this, if the rebellion had just been quelled, and there would be another rebellion in the Denglai Guard, it would be light for the two of them to go to their posts and wait for investigation.
The two met with the commanders, and after these Daohe put down the rebellion, they complained continuously, and even some generals cried, saying that now the military order cannot be transmitted for three miles, and the other thousand households do not listen to the order, without him, there is no food and salary constraints.
Zhu Dadian said kind words and comforted, and what he said was not in the way, that is, everything would be there, and the court would not ignore the Denglai Guard.
In fact, he knew in his heart, I was afraid that the imperial court really had no money and food to support, and just quelling the rebellion would exhaust the imperial court's wealth.
Zhu Dadian even went out of the city to visit Denglai's guards, and his emaciation and dilapidation made Zhu Dadian frightened, and Denglai was finished.
The Denglai soldiers were killed, fled, and rebelled in the rebellion, and the guards were so unpaid that they still had the mind and ability to serve the imperial court.
What Gong defended the southeast of Gyeonggi, supported Liaozhen, and attacked and harassed southern Liaonan, this is all a dead letter.
That night, the two giants collided, and now this situation cannot be solved as soon as possible.
"Lord Gao, the quickest way now is to let 30,000 reinforcements return to the station, Denglai will definitely not be able to supply it." Zhu Dadian arched his hand.
If these soldiers leave, they will lose tens of thousands of mouths, which will greatly reduce the burden on Denglai.
"Of course, it's just hateful that Zhao Lie still doesn't hand over Denglai and Shuicheng now, if the army returns, will Zhao Lie 。。。。。?" Gao Qiqian looked at Zhu Dadian.
The implication in this is obvious, will Zhao Lie be reversed.
"Absolutely not, if this is the case, Zhao Lie has already merged with Kong Youde, and even secretly assisted Kong Youde in the back, so that the court and Kong Youde will both lose."
Zhu Dadian shook his head and said,
"Besides, the Zhao family is also loyal, and I only know here that as early as the fifth year of the Apocalypse, the father and son of the Zhao family beheaded hundreds of slaves in Lushun, not to mention Jinggi and Xuanchuan, if there is a different heart, the battle of Xuanchuan is a self-destructive strength."
Gao Qiqian is right to think about it, in the battle of Gyeonggi, the Zhao family is also a famous general of the Ming Dynasty, if there is a mind to preserve the strength, why bother to fight with Jiannu in Xuanchuan, it is said that nearly half of the casualties.
I think it is also Jiannu's combat power, and it is difficult for the Zhao family to win without paying large casualties, which shows that the Zhao family really has no different intentions.
"I think the Zhao family wants to become Li Chengliang and Zu Dashou of Denglai." Zhu Dadian looked at Gao Qiqian inquiringly.
Gao Qiqian thought about it, well, it's true, the two are too similar, they are semi-independent feudal towns.
I think that Li Chengliang had 8,000 family members back then, and Zu Dashou's family now has thousands of family members, which is held in Jinzhou, saying that it is to resist Jiannu, it is better to say that it is neutral.
"This is impossible, Long Live Lord will never hand over the position of Denglai General Soldier to the Zhao family." Gao Qiqian shook his head, Long Live Lord's wariness of the Zhao family was not a whim, but had gone through several years.
At that time, Zhao Lie was just a small thousand households in Gyeonggi when he made great contributions, Long Live Lord just didn't let him control the soldiers, sure enough, even if he didn't enter the war barracks, Zhao Lie's strength still rose sharply, and now he is a commander with thousands of strong soldiers.
"The general army of Denglai is not feasible, but the general army of other towns is not feasible. If there is no real position, the Zhao family will not let go. Zhu Dadian shook his head, and said in his heart, long live the lord who didn't allow it, the problem was that now Zhao Jiayun didn't allow the court to take over Dengzhou.
"It's better to discuss with Zhao Lie and put things aside, it's better than the current situation, Denglai can't afford to wait."
Gao Qiqian nodded and agreed to Zhu Dadian's arrangement, and now it can only be like this. (To be continued.) )
