Chapter 345: Appeasement

In a newly built wooden house on Mi Island, seven or eight people sat around a large log table, and Zhao Lie sat on the northernmost main seat. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The sound of the paper churning kept coming, and Zhao Lie looked at the changing faces of these subordinates.

Seeing that Kong Youde's rebels attacked cities all the way in Shandong, burning, killing and looting, turning cities into white land, and hundreds of thousands of people became homeless refugees, I believe that no one can feel good.

Zhao Lie also seemed to see the flames rising on the land of Qilu, blood and terror continued to spread around, and many people in neighboring prefectures and counties fled one after another.

On the occasion of this winter season, I don't know how many people starved and froze to death on the way to escape, if the tragedies of the past occurred in Liaodong, Shanxi, and Gyeonggi, now these are displayed in front of the people of Shandong and Denglai.

Originally, he could have stopped all this, but he didn't, he made an answer to this multiple-choice question, but how many people's lives were used to make it, Zhao Lie's heart was also extremely uncomfortable, but for the sake of the future, he could only be cruel and ruthless.

Lan Mingshan turned over the news of the battle from Du Li, after Kong Youde's rebels burned Wu Bridge, they went all the way south, Shandong Lingxian, Linyi, Shanghe, Qingcheng, and Xincheng were successively trapped, it was like a bamboo, and the city was still defeated so crisply and crisply, the combat power of the Ming army in the interior can be imagined, it is simply a shame for the Ming Dynasty.

After the rebels fell into the city, they immediately burned and plundered, and did all kinds of evil, among which the new city was almost burned down, killing thousands of people along the way, creating hundreds of thousands of refugees for the Ming Dynasty, and indirectly helping the emperor Taiji to plan the Ming Dynasty's bloodletting.

Lan Mingshan slapped the table, "Kong Youde, this dog is not even as good as Jiannu, Jiannu." Jiannu's capture of the four cities was nothing but a plunder. The city has not yet been set on fire. ”

Wang Haizhou pouted. "Could it be that these Liaodong people learned so ruthlessly from Jiannu."

Zhao Lie looked at him with a smile.

"Uh," Wang Haizhou scratched his head in embarrassment, he was very brainy, most of his subordinates were from Liaodong, and many of them were Baizong, what did he think.

Seeing Wang Haizhou's embarrassment, Zhao Lie didn't care about himself.

"I summoned you here this time to explain that the sea will be closed in winter. It is useless to leave too many soldiers here, I mean, there are hundreds of soldiers left on Mi Island, a thousand reserve troops left on Phi Island, and Lan Mingshan left in charge. Zhao Lie commanded.

"Yes." Lan Mingshan got up and said.

"Lan Mingshan, you remember, Huanglong is what we have to do, and the other Shen Shikui, Shang Kexi, Shang Keyi, Geng Zhongyu and others don't all need to pay attention, let alone come and go, you know."

Zhao Lie looked at Lan Mingshan with sharp eyes, human nature is like this. If those people use the means of beautiful women and money, he really can't guarantee that his subordinates will be pulled into the water. Planning ahead is a must.

Lan Mingshan hurriedly nodded yes.

For Huang Long, because Zhao Lie had heard of it in Liaodong in his previous life, this person died in a bloody battle with Jiannu in Lushun at the end, which can be said to be loyal to the country and sacrificed his life for righteousness.

Although I heard that this person has a bad reputation here, and there are private appointments and deductions of food and salary, but look at these people in Dongjiang, Shen Shikui has never heard of it in his previous life, which means that he has not taken refuge in Jiannu, Geng Zhongyu, Shang Kexi, Shang Keyi, hehe, you have to beware of this name.

In fact, Zhao Lie didn't know that because Huanglong was friendly with him, Zhao Lie garrisoned 1,000 elite soldiers on Phi Island, and he was the fierce master who defeated Jiannu, even if Zhang Tao's 1,000 people were transferred back to Dengzhou by Sun Yuanhua for defense, the other army leaders were also very honest.

There was no rebellion in which Shen Shikui secretly provoked, and Geng Zhongyu imprisoned and cut off Huanglong's ears and nose, and history took a small turn here.

On the second day, a fleet of more than 20 sea ships set off from Shenmi Island and returned to Shidao, although Shidao and Jinghai Acropolis had 2,000 reserve troops and Han Jianqian's corps who returned in advance, but Zhao Lie did not go back to sit in town, this was a critical time, and anything could happen.

Zhao Lie didn't want the slightest accident to happen.

The atmosphere in the official hall of the Yamen of Dengzhou Governor was solemn, and Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, You Shilu, the chief soldier of Denglai, Wang Hui, the superintendent of the army, Zhang Tao, the deputy general, Geng Zhongming, the general, Zhang Tao, the commander of Denglai, Tang Qian, Yang Jingtang, Li Youde, and Wang Youde, the commander of the naval division, discussed the enemy's situation together.

Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng's rebels besieged Laizhou, and were marching towards Dengzhou, and they did not capture the prefecture and county along the way, but drove directly to Dengzhou, thinking that they wanted to capture Dengzhou, and they would arrive at Dengzhou in three or five days.

Sun Yuanhua has been less than a month, his hair is gray, and the wrinkles on his face are deeper, and he just looks old at first glance.

During his period, he sent people to contact Kong Youde several times and asked him to appease him, and he gave him a helping hand to save his life, but Kong Youde only verbally agreed, but he attacked the city and plundered the land as usual, while Yu Dacheng, the governor of Shandong, and Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, who advocated appeasement, sat back and waited for him to be appeased, and did not join forces to resist the enemy, resulting in being broken by each one.

The 6,000 Shandong troops under the command of Liu Zeqing and others sent by Yu Dacheng were broken by Kong Youde's army, losing half of Tai, and the rebels attacked Denglai.

At this time, how could Sun Yuanhua not know what Kong Youde was doing, so he could only do so.

"My lord, the rebels are coerced by the displaced people, and now the strength of the rebels has expanded to 8,000 people, and I am only 5,000 soldiers in Dengzhou now, and there are more than 3,000 people in Dengzhou, I am afraid that I will not be able to fight the enemy, why not recruit Zhao Lie's troops to come to Dengzhou to defend against the enemy."

After discussing for a long time, the two sides were basically evenly matched, Laizhouwei was too busy to take care of himself, Weihaiwei, Chengshanwei and others had to protect their own acropolis, you don't know where the rebels were killed, Denglai can no longer lose the city and lose land.

Therefore, the decisive battle of Dengzhou can only rely on the soldiers and Dengzhou Guard.

Among the generals during the discussion, You Shilu was victorious, and Zhang Tao was worried, so Li Youde suddenly put forward this suggestion.

In fact, Zhang Tao put forward this suggestion as soon as he returned to Dengzhou, but at that time, Sun Yuanhua was bent on appeasing, if Zhao Lie was transferred back, it would be endless, the contradiction between Zhao Lie and Kong Youde was well known, and Kong Youde was still willing to surrender. So it was shelved.

At this time, it was a question of war, so Li Youde proposed it again, and Zhang Tao immediately agreed.

"What do you think?" At this time, Sun Yuanhua did not dare to be arbitrary.

"Although the Confucian thieves are menacing, there are only more than 3,000 Liao soldiers whose combat strength is acceptable, and the others are all rabble, and the generals will definitely be able to win the battle." You Shilu cut the railway.

He You Shilu has fought fiercely with the northern Jiannu, and he is really not afraid of the Liao soldiers, no matter how strong he is, he can be stronger than Jiannu.

"Okay, Lord You is so courageous." Sun Yuanhua immediately praised it.

To tell the truth, he has not given up the last thought of persuading Kong Youde to be cared for, thinking that he Sun Yuanhua is not thin on Kong Youde, it can be said that he is extremely caring, never in arrears of food and salary, and he is one percent higher than the other departments of the Denglai Army, and the firearms are also the most fully equipped.

Therefore, he felt that he had made people see Kong Youde, and then he knew the benefits and disadvantages, and there was still a possibility of finally accepting it.

This is the last chance to save the lives of his Sun family, because this time Kong Youde's rebellion is too bad, and it will mess up the central part of northern Shandong, he can imagine the anger of the government and the opposition and the Son of Heaven, who doesn't know that Kong Youde is the general he brought back from Liaodong.

If Zhao Lie came back, even if he defeated Kong Youde, he would not have the merit of subduing the strategy, where would the merit come from.

Now that the two giants have nodded their heads, the others have just nodded yes.

In the end, it was discussed that You Shilu and Zhang Tao led 4,000 soldiers to meet the enemy.

And Geng Zhongming stayed in the city, to be honest, no one dared to use Geng Zhongming, he was too deeply related to Kong Youde, and he really didn't dare to use it.

Geng Zhongming also knew his embarrassing position, so he didn't say a word during the whole discussion process.

Li Youde returned to the Chengdong Mansion in Shuicheng, Dengzhou with a sad face, and as soon as he entered the mansion, he was told that Lord Zhao Haiming sent someone to ask for a meeting.

Li Youde immediately summoned him, and the person who came was Steward Li of the Zhao family, and the two had a secret discussion in the study for a long time.

On the second day, Li Youde said that he was sick at home.

Zhao Lie quietly returned to Shidao, which can be said to be unaware, but he couldn't stop the people who had a heart and had been waiting for a long time.

"Who." Zhao Lie frowned.

"My lord, it's Kong Youde's general Zhang Wenhuan, he has been waiting for your lord for ten days." Du Li whispered.

"Huh." Zhao Lie laughed, this Kong Youde really looks up to him, it seems that as soon as Fang returned to Shandong, he sent this Zhang Wenhuan over, who said that Kong Youde was vulgar and thoughtful.

Zhang Wenhuan must be talking about the conditions here, the purpose is not to let him Zhao Lie not interfere in Denglai Fengyun, it seems that Kong Youde was scared last time.

"Bring him in." Zhao Lie commanded.

"Meet Commander Zhao." Zhang Wenhuan, who was dressed in casual clothes, knelt down on the ground when he entered the room.

Zhao Lie took a closer look at Zhang Wenhuan, and saw that he was much darker and thinner than when he went to Shidao to discuss last time, and saw that he had suffered a lot, and it seemed that Kong Youde was not having a good time along the way.

"Tell me, what did Kong Youde send you to, if you are not satisfied, I will send you to Lord Dengzhou." Zhao Lie said with a smile.

"My lord said that I laughed, my lord's situation is just fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter with my family, Lord Zhao defeated Jiannu in Gyeonggi and Dongjiang, which can be said to be a rare victory for my Ming Dynasty in the past ten years, what my lord gets, is just the suspicion of the court and the Son of Heaven." Zhang Wenhuan also came prepared to talk eloquently.

"Hugh has to say more, tell me about the conditions of your master." Zhao Lie raised his hand to interrupt his words, these nonsense are useless, Chongzhen intuitively believes that he Zhao Lie has a backbone, and he has nothing to say, he Zhang Wenhuan doesn't need to say much, in the words of later generations, it is better to talk about conditions and interests, and talk about other redundant things.

"My family said that if Lord Zhao does not send troops to Dengzhou, my family will not step into Jinghaiwei." Zhang Wenhuan hurriedly put forward the conditions.

"It seems that Master Kong is not sincere, I really want to see if he dares to step into Jinghaiwei, no, I could have led the army to Dengzhou to meet Master Kong, after all, I haven't seen him for a long time." Zhao Lie said with a smile.

"My lord's words are serious, my lord's words are serious, my lord said that if the adults do not send troops to Denglai, I am willing to offer 50,000 taels of silver." Zhang Wenhuan hurriedly wiped his sweat.

Since the two sides have the willingness to talk, the next step is a long negotiation process, in the end, of course, Zhao Lie got what he wanted, Zhang Wenhuan did not think that he was at a loss, he had seen the combat strength of the broken army, although he paid some money and food, and some other conditions, but as long as Zhao Lie did not send troops, it was the victory of the rebels.
