Chapter 351: The Supervisor Quells the Rebellion
Zhu Dadian sat on a jujube red horse, surrounded by cronies, and slowly walked forward in the middle of the winding procession. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhu Dadian, who was in his early fifties, was known for knowing the soldiers when he was in charge of the military department, and the successive defeats of the Ming army, the two successive governors of Shandong, who did not know the soldiers and commanded indiscriminately, and the blind appeasement and missed the opportunity of Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, were important reasons for the Confucian thieves to become bigger.
Therefore, the cabinet and the Son of Heaven appointed Zhu Dadian as the supervisor of this rebellion, and they also placed high hopes on him.
Zhu Dadian is quite strong and can ride a horse, he doesn't want to sit in a carriage and bump on this dilapidated official road, it is better to ride a horse.
This time, the counterinsurgency army mobilized more than 20,000 horse infantry troops from various parts of Gyeonggi and Liaozhen to quell the rebellion.
Among them, the cavalry army accounted for 8,000, and the 5,000 soldiers in Liaozhen were all cavalry, among which there were nearly 1,000 Yi soldiers, all of whom were composed of Beilu and Jurchens.
This time, there is no way to draw from the few elite soldiers in Liaozhen, and the rebels in Denglai are now a large number of 40,000 or 50,000 rebels.
Hehe, this was the news at that time, and now after a night of inquiring from many sides, the rebels have swelled to 80,000 or 90,000 people, and they have doubled again in just over a month.
The idle Ming army had proved that it was not the opponent of the rebels, and Liaozhen once again became the hope of the imperial court, so it did not hesitate to risk sending Liaozhen's elite soldiers to quell the rebellion.
Zhu Dadian smiled bitterly, the first assistant in Beijing, Zhou Yanru, led by Xiong Mingyu, the military department, blindly appeased, and the governors of all places were in unison, which made the Son of Heaven in a dilemma, which dragged on until now, but at this time, the size of the rebel army doubled.
Alas, the wind knows the grass, the board knows the loyal ministers, and chaos is everywhere. I remembered that I was waiting for this capable person.
Zhu Dadian, who was reinstated, had no complaints in his heart, no, although he regained the governor of Shandong, the Son of Heaven also sent a prison army, and the eunuch Gao Qiqian sat in the reinforcements of Liaozhen in the rear army.
Zhu Dadian, who has been fighting with Wei Gelding for many years since the Apocalypse. Therefore, his career was not smooth, he was demoted, and he has always been disgusted with the giant eunuch, but this time the Son of Heaven said it, and he had no choice but to admit it.
Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses marched day and night into Shandong.
The war in Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty has just ceased, and the smoke of Denglai has risen again, these are all anxious things for the Ming people, and the entire empire is in a state of panic.
Beihua, which is more than a month away from Daming Sea Road, is also shrouded in tension in front of the station.
It was another warm and peaceful morning, and the barking of chickens and dogs began to echo in the village. Fang Gaoshan was polishing his Yanling knife in the courtyard.
He lowered the grinding stone, rinsed the blade with water, and wiped the water off the blade with a clean rag.
The sunlight should be on the body of the knife, reflecting a ray of cold light at the door.
"Second son, after eating, you will know how to polish this broken knife in the morning." Mom shouted as she blocked the reflected knife light with her hand.
She was extremely dissatisfied with her son's love of armor, and she had always regarded these things as discouragement.
"Haha. Mom, when we came back eight days ago. He said that he would be at his disposal at any time to return to the team, and that his weapons must be maintained. Fang Gaoshan smiled as he sheathed his saber into the room.
Daddy Fang Shun was eating corn porridge with pickles, and Fang Mingshan, a fourteen-year-old and a half-year-old, was snoring.
Fang Gaoshan's daughter-in-law, Li, is now half a year pregnant, and she is peeling eggs and boiling eggs twice a morning. This is her task.
Seeing his daughter-in-law's sad face, Fang Gaoshan couldn't do it, Li didn't like to eat boiled eggs, but his mother spoke, who dared to disobey.
Even Fang Shun has the final say. The family still listens to my mother.
"Second sister-in-law, I'll peel it off for you." The little sister Fang Mingjuan happily helped peel another egg.
"Little sister, is there any work in Yu Zhe's house today?" Fang Gaoshan said with a smile.
"Take care of it, you stinky second brother." Fang Mingjuan gave him a blank look.
"I'm your second brother, I don't care, you know, you haven't passed the door yet, you have to help the family hoe and water the ground first, um." Fang Gaoshan squeezed his eyebrows and teased his sister.
"My mother said that there are few people working in Yu Zhe's family, let me help their family more, what nonsense are you talking about." Having said that, Fang Mingjuan's cheeks were still flushed.
"Don't listen to your brother, he just wants to tease you, don't worry about him." Fang Wu squinted at his second son, who was out of tune.
Fang Gaoshan laughed, it is also fun to tease his sister and brother-in-law every day, my sister will not let me tease, and the future brother-in-law Yu Zhe, I will make fun of it for a while.
"Gao Shan, here you go." Li said in her slightly stiff Chinese.
Although the Chinese language is still a little stiff, it is much stronger than when he first came, at that time, the Li family knew the simplest way to eat, drink, be good, and be safe, and now there is no problem with daily speaking, Fang Gaoshan has nothing to pick.
The Li family can endure hardships and has a job in his eyes, which is quite popular with the Fang Wu family, and his appearance is not bad, Fang Gaoshan is very satisfied.
Since she became pregnant, she has been stopped from doing the work in the field, and now she is feeding the dogs in the yard, driving chickens and ducks or something.
Fang Gaoshan was eating in the wind, and he was about to finish breakfast.
A loud brass horn sounded, and everyone at the dinner table was stunned, and they all put down their rice bowls.
Fang Shun and Fang Gaoshan picked up the saber and were discharged first.
I saw two dusty cavalrymen standing in the small square in front of the school, and more than a dozen villagers had already gathered around.
"Who's the village chief?" A soldier shouted.
"I am, I am." Fang Shun walked a few steps briskly to the front.
"All the garrisons in the village must arrive at Fangmao Port by the evening of the day after tomorrow, and they will be engaged in violation of military law." The soldier shouted.
"Yes." Fang Shun and Fang Gaoshan returned a military salute.
Looking at the standard military salute of the two, the soldier smiled, returned a military salute, and turned his horse and galloped away to the next village.
"Okay, let's go home, if you have troops at home, hurry up and pack your bags, let's close to Fangmao Port here, and we can leave the morning after tomorrow." Fang Shun shouted.
As the head of the village, he had to organize these reserves, and he had to pacify his family, and he was not light.
When he returned home and told the news, the house was silent for a while, and even Fang Mingshan, who was usually the most talkative, was silent, he knew that the second brother was going to go on an expedition, which was a dangerous job.
Two months ago. As soon as the spring ploughing ended, all the reserve troops were concentrated in Fangmao Port and Huadu for training.
After two months of training, the reserve army was officially formed, and at the same time, the reserve army was told to go home for rest and recuperate, and then there was a big battle, and the target was the Anui and the Japanese people in the Shikachi realm.
Unexpectedly, the second brother would only be home for less than ten days. The military order was issued, and Fang Mingshan also knew that the battle array was dangerous, and the second brother was going to enter the battle array.
"Life is good, what kind of war are you fighting?" Fang Wu wiped his tears.
"You mother-in-law, don't you run away and wait for the Japanese to come and rob us of the land, just like Liaodong back then." Fang Shun glared, although he was uncomfortable with his two sons leaving home to fight, but he could still carry it clearly, only one of the Japanese and their Ming people could stay in Beihua. If the Ming people lose, the houses and acres here will be lost.
Fang Wu didn't say anything, but the two children in the family joined the army, which made her feel uncomfortable.
Li Shi had tears in her eyes and no words, she was a family woman, and she had always been what men said, although she was reluctant to say it, she didn't dare to say it.
"What are you crying about. My eldest brother and I may come back as generals, haha. Although Fang Gaoshan said that he was reluctant in his heart. But it's more about longing.
Like his eldest brother, he was tired of being in the village, especially when he went to Fang Mao several times, and saw the energetic soldiers of the Broken Army, his heart was even more itchy.
"If you can, no one else can. If you can fight for something. Fang Shun scolded with a smile.
"Dad, you don't look at whose son I am, haha." Fang Gaoshan laughed.
"Dad, do you have to go to Yu Zhe too." Fang Mingjuan, who had been silent, asked.
Of course, Yu Zhe is also a reserve army. I have to go out with your second brother. Fang Shun said.
"Then I'll take a look at Yu Zhe." Fang Mingjuan got up and said.
"Oh, I'm not as good as Yu Zhe when I'm the second brother." Fang Gaoshan said with a smile.
"Beat you stinky second brother." Fang Mingjuan blushed and slapped him.
Fang Gaoshan dodged strangely.
Two days flew by, and in the past two days, Fang Gaoshan tried his best to finish the heavy work at home, and at the same time comforted the Li family.
Early in the morning of the third day, Fang Gaoshan led more than 20 reserve troops in the village to Fangmao Port, not far to the west.
On the way, they saw the soldiers of the Broken Army marching eastward.
The high-headed horse is covered in iron armor, and his neat appearance is really a mighty army.
"Second brother, look at the cavalry, it's really mighty." Yu Zhe said enviously.
"Well, when can we be so majestic." The mouth of Fang Gaoshan is about to come out.
"Alas, we are village soldiers, didn't the instructor say it last time." Yu Zhe clicked his mouth.
"He also said that he was brave in battle, made war exploits, volunteered, not an only son, and could become a soldier, why don't you say this." Fang Gaoshan glanced at him.
"Alas, we are auxiliaries, what kind of feats can we make." Yu Zhe shook his head.
"What do you know," Fang Gaoshan looked around and said in a low voice, "I said that Huo Bai said last time, this time it was a war, and the Japanese and Anui people over there in Shisheng merged or something. In short, if there is a chance, let me do a good job, and he will promote me to the war. ”
"Well, I haven't heard of you. Yu Zhe's eyes widened.
"Hehe, when I go back, won't my mother be more worried, what will I say." Fang Gaoshan shook his head and said.
"Tell me what you're afraid of, and I won't talk nonsense." Yu Zhe was dissatisfied.
"Hmph, it's you who is guarding against it, what I'm talking to you about now, my old sister knows the next day, hmph, my second brother doesn't matter if he doesn't have a wife." Fang Gaoshan Yin Yang Strange Qi Dao.
"Uh, hey, hey." Yu Zhe scratched his head in embarrassment.
At the same time, Zhao Yuantong and Huang Haizi and more than a dozen other reserve troops also marched towards Huadu in the tearful farewell of their parents and people in the village.
Many such small teams gathered towards Fang Mao and Huadu, and the war drums of Beihua had already sounded. (To be continued.) )
