Chapter 344: Wuqiao Beacon Fire
"What's the matter, didn't I ask you to discuss with their Wang family and deal with this matter, how did they burn down their Zhuangzi and house. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Kong Youde looked at Li Jiucheng angrily.
"Master Kong, brother, I can't bear this breath, do you know what Wang Xiangchun said, he didn't come forward at all, let the housekeeper spread the word, let Lord Kong come to his house to kneel and plead guilty, otherwise, his Wang family will mobilize the Wang family of Xincheng in Baoding Prefect, Yingtian Governor, Zhejiang General Wang family to join you, and will let Master Kong lose his official position." Li Yingyuan saw that Kong Youde was furious, and hurriedly explained.
Li Jiucheng stopped Li Yingyuan with a gesture and continued, "Master Kong, Brother Kong, what Yingyuan said was not the reason why I let people set fire to Zhuangzi, but that his housekeeper said that I would wait until Liaodong and meet the same fate as Da Linghe." ”
Li Yingyuan's statement can't grasp the point at all, and now it's all a trivial matter, and there are big things happening here.
Li Jiucheng looked at Kong Youde, who was a little stunned, "I'll ask him again, it turns out that Da Ling River has fallen as early as a month ago." ”
As soon as Li Jiucheng's words came out, Kong Youde's head boomed, Daling River had fallen, and the military department and the officials along the way did not tell them, why, it is estimated that this is because they are afraid that they will retreat from the battle and not go to Liaodong to defend.
Previously, Kong Youde already knew that the 40,000 reinforcements led by Zhang Chun were defeated, Zhang Chun and other dozens of generals were unknown in their lives and deaths, and the general soldiers Wu Xiang and Song Wei fled back, and the 40,000 reinforcements only ran back more than 10,000 people.
This news that has shaken the world made Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng tremble.
This time, the Daling River also fell, that is, the elite Tai of Liaozhen was half buried in this battle. Liaozhen had almost no mobile forces to fight against Jiannu.
They serve as guest troops. Arrived in Liaodong. There is no need to ask the people who defend the city and live in Liaozhen, and the matter of going out of the city to fight with Jiannu for nine deaths is theirs, they are not lucky, they have all stayed in Liaozhen, and they know the Tao here too well.
Kong Youde's face was pale, and he sat down dejectedly, he couldn't care about Li Jiucheng now, and he couldn't help it there. You have to jump too.
"My lord, now Liaodong can't go, and I will wait for these 3,000 people to be buried there." Li Jiucheng said urgently, now it is Kong Youde who is in charge.
"How about not going, this is the will of the Ministry of War, can we still disobey the order." Kong Youde said with a wry smile, everything he has done in the past few years is to escape from the mudflats of Liaodong, but he can't escape, so he still has to devote himself to it.
"Master Kong, there is a dead word on the left and right. I might as well give it a try. Li Jiucheng looked at Kong Youde with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Oh, how to fight." Kong Youde looked at Li Jiucheng.
"Master Kong. Daming Liao Town's elite soldiers are half annihilated, I might as well kill back to Dengzhou, occupy Denglai, if the imperial court sends someone to recruit An, it is not impossible to disperse our soldiers, if it is not a crime, then I will not leave Denglai. ”
Li Jiucheng gritted his teeth and said.
"How many soldiers does Daming have, and I only have a few soldiers under my command." Kong Youde shook his head.
"Master Kong, how many soldiers and horses can Liaozhen, the strongest soldier of the Ming Dynasty, be transferred, and the soldiers of other military towns, we are not afraid." Li Jiucheng had a clear idea at this time.
Kong Youde's mind flashed, yes, almost all the elite soldiers in Liaozhen were lost today, and the other military towns, that is, the soldiers and horses of Xuanfu are coming, and we are not afraid, to put it bluntly, except for Liaozhen, who is afraid of whom.
"Dad, it seems that there is one more person in Denglai." Li Yingyuan said timidly.
"Zhao Lie," Li Jiucheng smiled disdainfully, "Zhao Lie's department is strong, but more than half of the battle losses this time, besides, the court is extremely suspicious of their Zhao family, and the Zhao family will take another step is the fate of Qi Ye, he will not be unaware, when the time comes, I will personally talk to him, let him sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, Zhao Lie will definitely agree."
Kong Youde got up and walked back and forth indoors, he was in turmoil, the left side was reversed, the right side could not be reversed, the left and right sides fought each other, Kong Youde found that it was really difficult for him to make a decision today when he had always been decisive.
"My lord, we must not hesitate any longer, go further, enter Gyeonggi, we will have no chance at all, once we arrive in Liaodong, we may be killed, frozen to death, starved to death, and it is possible that Jiannu or the court will cut off the brain." Li Jiucheng said loudly.
He was in a hurry, he said in his heart, you Kong Youde was not like this before, it seems that your courage has been worn out after being promoted.
Kong Youde thought about the countless Liaodong soldiers who died on the battlefield and rotted in the black soil in Liaodong and Dongjiang, as well as the generals who were cut off by the imperial court after the defeat and their wives and daughters were used as official prostitutes.
"Damn, since you don't let Lao Tzu live well, it's the opposite."
Kong Youde yelled, venting the anger in his heart.
Two wolf howls rang out from the side.
After entering the study after the Yamen of the governor of Denglai, Sun Yuanhua and You Shilu sat opposite each other, without the guards of the staff, which was the first time in the relationship between the two.
"Lord You, here today is like discussing one thing with you, that is, how to deal with Dongjiang Town." Sun Yuanhua was in a good mood and his tone was extremely kind.
"The military lord is serious, and if there is something to do, the lord should give orders." You Shilu was extremely respectful, he couldn't adapt to Sun Yuanhua's rhythm.
He is a little vulgar on weekdays, but he always remembers his father's words, and he must be cautious and cautious when he meets civil officials, especially when civil officials are suddenly very polite to you.
Now that Sun Yuanhua politely made him hairy, You Shilu trembled a little.
"Lord You, now that the situation in Liaodong is clear, the Tai semi-elite has lost, and it is estimated that in the past few years, it is estimated that you can only be trapped in the fortified city, you estimate what will happen next in order for the imperial court to support Liaodong." Sun Yuanhua said with a smile, he saw You Shilu's vigilance, but he didn't mind, just talk about it.
"What Lord Sun means is that the imperial court will ask me to send troops to attack Jiannu from the south and east, so that Jiannu cannot attack Liaoxi with all his might." You Shilu has been in battle for a long time, and the general strategy is still there.
"In what Lord You said, this official expects that the will of the cabinet and the Son of Heaven will come soon, let me wait to attack southern Liaoning and the east, so that Liaoxi will have a chance to breathe after defeat." Sun Yuanhua nodded, although You Shilu said that his heart was rude, he still had vision.
"It's just that General Kong led more than 3,000 troops to Liaodong, and I am really powerless to go to Denglai." You Shilu shook his head and sighed.
"Haha, Lord You laughed, isn't there another Zhao Lie under your command." Sun Yuanhua also shook his head and smiled.
"It's just that Zhao Lie has also suffered a lot of damage this time, no one has seen his two family teams, and I went to see the reserve soldiers who came back to rotate, and more than half of the dead and injured have not been made up yet." You Shilu smiled bitterly,
"To tell the truth, the Zhao family has also invested a lot of money, these more than 4,000 horses are all in iron armor, and the cavalry team is equipped with two horses, Zhao Lie also said that there is no money and food this time, and the foundation of the Zhao family is empty."
"Then Denglai will pay 100,000 taels of silver, and let Zhao Lie make up for it after half a year, he Zhao Lie is good at training, then good, this official will give him this opportunity, if Zhao Lie can win a few battles in southern Liaoning, this official will promote him to the cabinet elder and the Son of Heaven to be promoted to general and deputy general." Sun Yuanhua said solemnly.
Sun Yuanhua is also fighting, 800,000 taels of silver per year, in fact, it is less than 600,000 taels in Sun Yuanhua's hands, Sun Yuanhua has saved nearly 200,000 yuan in the past two years, and this time he has taken out most of it.
He has considered it, if he is not in power, he may not know who will be cheaper with these salaries, so it is better to take them all out.
Of course, there is also a timing problem here, if he takes out the silver taels, Zhao Lie will do his best to do a bad job, and win a few battles in southern Liaoning, he Sun Yuanhua will not be stingy, and the remaining money and food will be rewarded, but if Zhao Lie is not on the road, it is no wonder that he will calculate the account when the time comes.
Eh, You Shilu looked at Sun Yuanhua in surprise, and it seems that it was you who deducted Zhao Lie's salary, how can it change a lot now, 100,000 taels of silver, and it is still guaranteed, what is the situation.
"Lord You should be surprised," Sun Yuanhua sighed, "If the situation cannot be opened in southern Liaoning, it will be light for both of you and me to lose their posts, and it is difficult to say whether the clansmen can be implicated." ”
"What your lord said is very true." You Shilu also sighed.
Sun Yuanhua and he came to Denglai to take office, and the biggest duty given to them by the cabinet and the Son of Heaven was to pacify the Dongjiang River, and then attack Jiannu from the south and east, so that Jiannu could not go all out to the west.
However, during their tenure, not only did the Dongjiang River not be pacified, but Chen Jisheng and Liu Xingzhi were defeated one after another, and seven or eight out of ten of the soldiers on the islands lost and fled.
If it weren't for Zhao Lie's military exploits, maybe the will to reduce the guilt would have arrived.
"Okay, since Lord Sun has come up with such a lot of money and food, I You Shilu will personally talk to Zhao Lie, and ask him to replenish his military strength as soon as possible, and go out with the Denglai soldiers to fight in southern Liaonan and Liaodong, and fight his mother." You Shilu gritted his teeth and responded.
This is a matter of both loss and glory, and You Shilu also patted his chest.
Sun Yuanhua stroked his palms and laughed, very cheerful, very good, this You Shilu is not short-sighted, he can see it quite clearly.
You Shilu also laughed along, well, this old grandson is good, much better than some civil officials.
Outside, there was the sound of a few people's hurried footsteps, which looked extremely chaotic in the silence of the rear.
Sun Yuanhua's face sank, and he was not in shape.
"My lord, there is something important." Staff member Mr. Li's tone was tremolo.
Sun Yuanhua's heart sank, "Come in." ”
"My lord, this is an urgent document sent by Lord Yu, the governor of Shandong." Mr. Li's forehead was covered with sweat.
"Hmm." Sun Yuanhua hurriedly took the letter and opened it.
Yu Dacheng said above that on November 27, Kong Youde and more than 3,000 of his subordinates mutinied in Wuqiao County, plundered Wuqiao, and then drove south to Shandong.
Sun Yuanhua let go of his hand in a daze, and let the letter fall to the ground, what Dongjiang and southern Liaoning were all over the place. (To be continued.) )
