(

On the morning of the next day, Emperor Xuande saw off the soldiers outside Jingzhou City, and Zhang Hao, the Duke of Yiguo, personally commanded an army of 120,000 to attack the rebels in Dezhou City. Copy this address to browse%73%68%75%68%61%68%61%2e%63%6f%6d

In the crowd of farewells, Li Yuntian looked at the team with a solemn expression, he was not optimistic about Zhang Hao's expedition, Zhang Hao's troops were almost the same as the strength of the King of Han, the King of Han not only had Dezhou City as his backing, but also a famous general who could fight well, Zhang Hao was difficult to take advantage of in front of him.

As for the siege of the city, it is definitely a strategy, with Zhang Hao's troops at most, it is to confront the rebels in the city, if it is a hard attack, it will definitely cause heavy casualties, and then the morale will be greatly damaged to give the King of Han a chance.

Therefore, in Li Yuntian's view, King Han can attack and retreat, and Zhang Hao will face a heavy test this time.

Among all the farewell crowds, Zhang Fu was undoubtedly the most depressed one, originally he was the most suitable person to lead the army to fight, but at this time he sat on the cold bench and was left by Emperor Xuande's side, like a dragon trapped in a shoal, and no one could understand the depression in his heart.

Bidding farewell to Zhang Hao's expeditionary army, Li Yuntian was called to the imperial palace by Emperor Xuande, and the surrounding civil and military ministers saw this with a look of envy on their faces.

The so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, after Emperor Xuande ascended the throne, he naturally wanted to reuse the old ministers of the East Palace when he was the prince, for example: Chen Shan, the left concubine, was promoted to the right waiter of the household department, Zhang Ying of the East Palace washed the horse as the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and the East Palace washed the horse Dai Lun as the right waiter of the criminal department, Zhongyun Xu Yongda was the Honglu Siqing, Zanshan Lin Congshan, Wang Rang was the Hanlin waiter and so on.

These people have been greatly improved in both rank and official position, and they have won the trust of Emperor Xuande.

"Li Yushi, I am a little relieved about the situation in Jinan City, you can take a trip and defend Jinan City for me." On the imperial chariot, Emperor Xuande said to Li Yuntian with a stern expression. [33315671 ruling the Ming Dynasty] 333 ruling the Ming Dynasty 336

If it weren't for the fact that Wang Zhe, the political envoy of Shandong, and Cao Yu, the envoy of Shandong, discovered in time that Jin Rong, the commander of the capital of Shandong, was plotting to rebel, and then mobilized the troops in his hands to wipe out Jin Rong and the military attachés who participated in the conspiracy meeting, then Jinan City would have changed its flag and thrown into the arms of the king of Han.

Although Jin Rong and his gang have been captured, the King of Han has been operating in Jinan City for many years, and there are many people from the King of Han in the city.

Therefore, Emperor Xuande was not at ease with Jinan City, in case he let the Han King get Jinan City, not only would his strength be greatly increased, but his morale would also be greatly encouraged, and it would undoubtedly be more difficult to deal with him. The update is the fastest and most stable

For Emperor Xuande, he not only had more soldiers than the King of Han, but also the soldiers were better than the King of Han, after all, a considerable number of the people under the King of Han were forcibly recruited from the people, and it was the first time to pick up weapons, and the essence was undoubtedly the same as that of the villagers.

Therefore, Emperor Xuande took advantage of this advantage to open up a second battlefield in Shandong, using Jinan City as a stronghold to disturb the rear of the Han king, making the rebels fall into a two-front battle, so that the Han king had no time to go north to the capital.

In fact, Emperor Xuande originally wanted to send others to Jinan City and let Li Yuntian stay by his side to continue to give him advice, but in view of the importance of Jinan City, he thought about it and could only feel at ease by sending Li Yuntian to sit in the town.

This is not only because Li Yuntian has both astronomy and martial arts, and his intelligence and city government are outstanding among many officials in the imperial court, but also because Jinan Mansion is Li Yuntian's hometown, and he has many acquaintances in Jinan City, so he is very convenient to do things.

If there is a third reason, that is, Emperor Xuande has great trust in Li Yuntian, and he is most relieved to hand over Jinan City to Li Yuntian, he believes that Li Yuntian can not only stabilize the situation in Jinan City, but also cause big trouble to King Han.

"Your Majesty, the minister went this time and wanted to ask for someone from His Majesty." Li Yuntian was slightly stunned when he heard this, and looked a little surprised, he didn't expect Emperor Xuande to send him to Jinan City, and then he bowed his hand to Emperor Xuande.

"Who do you want?" Emperor Xuande saw that Li Yuntian did not shirk, so he asked with a smile.

"Yangwu Marquis Xue Lu!" Li Yuntian looked at Emperor Xuande and solemnly said a name.

Because the vanguard led by the Qingyi Bo Lüping sneak attack, heavy casualties, resulting in the first defeat since Emperor Xuande personally conquered the rebellion, as the commander of the army Xue Lu inevitably had to take responsibility, was cut off by Emperor Xuande of the title and official position, followed the conquest of the army to make meritorious contributions.

"Why Yangwu Hou?" Emperor Xuande couldn't help but feel a little curious, now there are many veterans in Jingzhou City, and he can't understand why Li Yuntian wants to use only a defeated general.

"Your Majesty, the defeat of the Marquis of Yangwu is not because of his inability, but because the King of Han is cunning, and he actually set up an ambush in Fucheng County alone, which is overwhelming."

Li Yuntian groaned for a moment when he heard this, and explained in an orderly manner, "After this battle, the reputation of the Marquis of Yangwu was ruined, and he broke off with the Han Wangen, and he was bound to make meritorious contributions and fight to the death with the rebels. [33315671 ruling the Ming Dynasty] 333 ruling the Ming Dynasty 336

"Okay, I promise you, who else do you want?" Emperor Xuande bowed slightly, agreed, and put aside this defeat, Xue Lu is still very good at fighting, and he is a tiger general.

"There is a shortage of a commander in Jinan City now, and it is enough for the Marquis of Yang Wu to go to the town." Li Yuntian smiled slightly and said in a deep voice.

"In addition to the Marquis of Yangwu, I will give you another 20,000 horses, and you will firmly leave the King of Han in Shandong for me!" Emperor Xuande saw that Li Yuntian looked confident, pondered for a moment, and solemnly instructed.

"The minister understands that he must make the rear of the Han King unpeaceful." Li Yuntian arched his hand at Emperor Xuande when he heard this, and replied in a deep voice.

Due to the urgency of time, Li Yuntian set off from Jingzhou City that afternoon, and Xue Lu, the Marquis of Yangwu, led 20,000 horses through Wucheng County, bypassed the territory of the Dezhou rebels, and hurried to Jinan Mansion.

In order to coordinate and control the situation in Jinan City, Li Yuntian was appointed governor of Shandong by Emperor Xuande, the prime minister of Shandong's military and political affairs, and Xue Lu, the Marquis of Yangwu, was the deputy commander-in-chief.

At this time, the governor was not a fixed position, like the general army, just a temporary dispatch, no rank, it was a temporary mission set up by the emperor in order to deal with and coordinate the affairs between the local political envoys, the inspection envoys and the capital divisions, and he would resign after performing official duties.

Since Emperor Hongwu, he has begun to send governors abroad, and the first governor is the crown prince Zhu Biao, and then he is mainly composed of officials and imperial historians of various ministries.

It is worth mentioning that the 20,000 horses led by Li Yuntian this time are basically Xue Lu's vanguard troops, although they lost the battle, but there is no doubt that they are the elite of the Ming army, otherwise they would not have fought out of the siege laid by Lu Ping under the leadership of Xue Lu, and they would have been defeated like a mountain and turned into a plate of scattered sand.

Therefore, as long as the morale is reinvigorated, these people will become an elite army in Li Yuntian's hands.

In the procession, Li Yuntian and Xue Lu rode side by side, talking about the current situation in Shandong.

Although Li Yuntian's position is above Xue Lu, in front of Xue Lu, he still regards himself as a junior and calls Xue Lu "Uncle Xue", which makes Xue Lu very useful in his heart.

Xue Lu knew very well that he was able to go into battle again this time, which was the result of Li Yuntian's recommendation in front of Emperor Xuande, so he held back a fire in his heart, ready to use his military exploits to wash away the shame of his defeat.

Li Yuntian and Xue Lu mainly talked about Yang Yong, the general of the rebel army in Qingzhou City, Yang Yong was the governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Later Army, the old department of the Han King Jing martyrdom, and returned to Shaanxi to recuperate due to illness one year, but the Han King appeared in Shandong after the rebellion and guarded Qingzhou City.

Qingzhou City is located in the middle of the Han Dynasty's sphere of influence, separating the area controlled by the Han King from east to west, and if Qingzhou City can be captured, then it will be equivalent to cutting off the Han King's connection with Dengzhou and Laizhou in the west.

However, it is not easy to capture Qingzhou City, not only because Yang Yong is good at defending the city, but also because he will face reinforcements from Le'an and Dengzhou, and it is difficult to take Qingzhou City with the strength of Jinan City.

Similarly, in the face of Emperor Hongxi's counterinsurgency army, it was difficult for the Han King to draw troops to besiege Jinan City, so except for Dezhou and Jingzhou, the rest of Shandong was in a state of confrontation, and the two sides had no ability to attack each other's cities except for a small fight, and the situation was eerily calm for a while.

In this way, the local people suffered greatly, whether it was the Ming army or the rebel army, they would more or less take the opportunity to plunder.

In the evening, Li Yuntian's army came to the county seat of Wucheng County, and the magistrate of Wucheng County hurriedly led the officials and merchants and gentry in the city out of the city to greet him.

Due to the proximity of Wucheng County to the rebel-controlled area, 3,000 Ming troops were stationed in the city, led by the Wei commander Tongzhi of Dongchangwei in Dongchang Prefecture.

Coupled with the two or three thousand young and strong people organized by the magistrate of Wucheng County, it was more than enough to defend the city when the rebels attacked, and the rebels would not spend a lot of effort on a small town like the county seat of Wucheng County.

The magistrate of Wucheng County has already set up a banquet in the best restaurant in the county to entertain Li Yuntian and Xue Lu, but Li Yuntian and Xue Lu are ordinary guests who he can't invite, so he naturally has to have a good time at this time.

Especially Li Yuntian, who was valued by Emperor Xuande at a young age, was ordered by the emperor to patrol Shandong, and his achievements in the future are limitless.

In order to avoid disturbing the people, Li Yuntian deliberately set up a military law team subordinate to him, with the students and instructors of the martial arts hall acting as members of the military law team, responsible for supervising the army's appearance and discipline.

According to Li Yuntian's order, as long as the army under his command is subject to the supervision of the military law corps, and as long as military discipline is violated, then no matter how high or low the official position is, it must be examined.

In addition, in order to make the military law team stand out, Li Yuntian deliberately had a red cloth sewn on their hats to show the difference from the students of the Lecture Hall.

In this way, the Judge Advocate Corps not only has a costume, but also a unique symbol of their own, that is, a conspicuous red cloth embroidered on the military cap.

Of course, in the face of those idle and accustomed sergeants of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, the establishment of the military law corps means that they will be deprived of many of their pleasures and hobbies, and naturally they will not be willingly supervised by them, so it is inevitable that there will be another wave
