Chapter 141: Laizhou Lifts the Siege
Whether this time can the Denglai rebellion be quelled, now Zhu Dadian has bet on Yu Xiaotian and his Fujian soldiers, Yu Xiaotian's Fujian soldiers are fierce, with sharp firearms, fierce and good at fighting, before the battle array, one can definitely be one as ten, and others are good to say, if Yu Xiaotian is offended, if he refuses to work hard, he Zhu Dadian will be sad.
Therefore, Zhu Dadian did not dare to use strong for Xiaotian, and after retreating, he persuaded Xiaotian warmly, Xiao Yiyi, and said that his mouth was dry, and Yu Xiaotian finally looked at his face and promised to give forty percent of the rebel grain and armor captured this time to other generals.
But if it is more, he will not do it, as for the reason, Yu Xiaotian doesn't want to say more, Zhu Dadian also knows that everyone is a smart person, and if Yu Xiaotian can promise to give forty percent, it will already give him face.
In addition, considering that Laizhou City has been besieged for several months, the city has long been out of ammunition and food, and the military food cannot be transported for a while, so under Zhu Dadian's persuasion, Yu Xiaotian promised to take out another 30% and lend it to the defenders of Laizhou City first, so as to stabilize the situation in Laizhou City, but the 30% of the grain given by Zhu Dadian will be returned to Yu Xiaotian when the next time the food arrives.
Zhu Dadian could only pinch his nose and admit it in the end, and after sending Yu Xiaotian away, he almost scolded, but in the end he endured it, who let him count on people to work for him now? Whoever can do it eats more and takes more than those who can't work.
After figuring this out, Zhu Dadian was psychologically balanced, thinking about it carefully, although Yu Xiaotian was arrogant, he was still working quite hard during this time, and he was more respectful to him, although he failed to obey his orders, but he should be given face, Yu Xiaotian still gave it to him, and after thinking of this, Zhu Dadian no longer complained about anything.
As for the fact that he heard that Yu Xiaotian had found thousands of young women in the rebel camp, Zhu Dadianquan had never heard of them, these women must have been captured by the rebels, and these women should be dismissed on the spot and sent back to their hometowns.
But now the army is in chaos, most of the area of Denglai has been destroyed by the rebels, even if these women are sent home, it is estimated that they will have no family, and in the end, these women who have no way to make a living will either starve to death or fall into prostitution.
If Yu Xiaotian doesn't give it to these guys, then let Yu Xiaotian deal with it himself, and he can drop it as much as he likes! As long as he doesn't know about it, he'll be fine.
After the siege of Laizhou City was lifted, the official army went straight to the city of Laizhou, informed the rebels of Laizhou City that they had been defeated and fled, and asked the defenders and generals of Laizhou City to go out of the city to welcome the current governor of Shandong and the official army into the city.
However, the people in Laizhou City were really frightened by the rebels, although they also knew that many officials and soldiers had come to quell the rebellion recently, and they had also seen the rebels being chased and killed by the officers and soldiers, and they also saw a large number of rebels fleeing in the direction of Dengzhou.
But they still did not dare to believe the words of these officers and soldiers, for fear that this would be another conspiracy of the rebels, so not only did they refuse to open the door to greet them, but they also shouted loudly and ordered the officers and soldiers who arrived outside the city gate to retreat immediately, and if they did not, they would be bombarded with artillery.
The officers and soldiers who ran to call the door were angry, but there was nothing to be done, and in the end, the two eunuchs who came here with the army and sent by Gao Qiqian to supervise the army on his behalf came to the outside of the city gate in person and informed the defenders in the city, Xie Lian, Zhu Wannian and Yang Yufan in the city believed that this was true.
So these people suddenly burst into tears, knelt down and kowtowed to the direction of Jingshi to thank him, and then opened the city gate and welcomed Zhu Dadian into Laizhou City.
That night, the Laizhou guards and generals led by Xie Lian, the governor of Denglai, held a banquet in the city to thank the generals who came to rescue them, and the generals of all the armies were invited to the city to participate in the banquet.
Zhu Dadian was indispensable during the banquet, focusing on introducing Yu Xiaotian, who had contributed to the battle to relieve the siege, and everyone learned about the war in the south of Laizhou in the past month, when they learned that the rebels surrendered that day, it was Yu Xiaotian who sent troops to expose the conspiracy of the rebels and saved the lives of Zhu Wannian and others, Xie Lian and Zhu Wannian both deigned and personally got up to thank Yu Xiaotian.
For Zhu Wannian and Yang Yufan, Yu Xiaotian is still quite admirable, these two people can be said to be loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty, although they are definitely not on the same road with him, and they will meet him in the future, but the integrity and courage of these two people still make him admire them very much, so for the two of them, Yu Xiaotian is also quite polite, and he toasts and clinked glasses with them during the banquet, but they also got along quite happily.
With the change of attitude of the Ming court, the voice of the main fu has basically disappeared, and the current Emperor Chongzhen of the Holy Emperor also hates these rebels to the extreme, which also makes the officers and generals who entered the suppression completely dispel the idea of appeasement, and can only fight to the death with the rebels.
In addition, in this war, Chongzhen used the BUG army of the Yu family army, which made Yu Xiaotian and the Yu family army at hand famous in this battle.
After the news of Laizhou's siege reached Beijing, the government and the opposition suddenly burst into joy, and the long-lost smile on Chongzhen's face finally appeared.
Of course, Zhu Dadian in the chapter, in addition to smearing his own color, but also indispensable to focus on Yu Xiaotian and his Fujian soldiers played an important role in this battle, Zhu Dadian said in the chapter, Yu Xiaotian is very strict, the officers and soldiers under his command are strictly disciplined, dare to use their lives, brave and good at fighting, many times against the trend to rescue friendly troops, the rebels before their soldiers, all of them disintegrated and fled.
In this battle, Yu Xiaotian and the Fujian soldiers under his command made great contributions and played an irreplaceable role, so please give him encouragement.
Chongzhen read the recital to understand the details of the battle, and then looked at the battle report sent back by Gao Qiqian, and compared the situation of the two war reports in detail, and felt that there was nothing wrong, including the twists and turns sent back by Gao Qiqian, and also praised Yu Xiaotian and the Fujian generals under his command for being really capable of fighting, and quite brave, and the Fujian soldiers were good at using firearms, and often the rebels were unable to parry.
What kind of person is Yu Xiaotian! This kind of ability to do things in advance, of course he won't forget it, although he doesn't expect the court to give him any bigger officials, but most of the eunuchs are villains, especially guys like Gao Qiqian, and they are villains among villains, if you don't beat this guy, this guy will definitely not say good things for him, and he Yu Xiaotian doesn't want to be plotted by villains behind his back at this time.
After all, in the coming period, he will also pull the tiger skin and pull the banner, under the pretense of the tiger skin full of holes in the Ming Dynasty, to do his big things, and make friends with the ministers around Chongzhen like Gao Qiqian, which is also an investment, the more people say good things for him in Beijing, the more convenient it will be for him to do things in the local area in the future, otherwise he will encounter great resistance.
Therefore, when Yu Xiaotian learned that Gao Qiqian was sent to supervise the army, he had already arranged for someone to rush to Qingzhou Mansion, secretly asked to see Gao Qiqian, and gave Gao Qiqian a very generous gift.
Gao Qiqian received such a heavy gift, of course, he would look at Xiaotian differently, and Yu Xiaotian also took care of the eunuchs sent by Gao Qiqian's subordinates to the army to monitor the armies on his behalf.
In addition, what Yu Xiaotian did in front of the army really made them have nothing to say, except for snatching the rebel camp and killing friendly soldiers, even if he was blind in this battle, it could be seen that Yu Xiaotian turned the tide and made the official army finally achieve a great victory in Laizhou.
In the first battle of Laizhou, the rebels suffered heavy losses, the rebels finally put together nearly 40,000 rebels, lost more than half of them in this battle, in addition to being beheaded thousands of people at that time, and captured more than 10,000 rebel generals, Kong Youde only took more than 10,000 rebels, fled to Huang County, if it were not for the official army after the victory, Yu Xiaotian led the robbery of the rebel camp, so that the official army ended the pursuit of the rebels in advance, this time the rebel losses will be greater, and even the whole army is not necessarily impossible.
Zhu Dadian regretted that he failed to completely annihilate the rebels this time, but he also knew what kind of virtues the officers and generals were, and the idea of making money from these people was always implemented in their actions.
Even Yu Xiaotian can't be an exception, but he can't blame Yu Xiaotian for this matter, because if Yu Xiaotian doesn't do this, others will do the same, and in the end, it is likely that Yu Xiaotian will do his best, but the cheap will be taken advantage of by others, in that case, Yu Xiaotian doesn't know what he will do afterwards!
Now that Yu Xiaotian has taken advantage of the profits, and the others have also shared some profits, they have finally suppressed this matter and did not make a bigger mess, and Zhu Dadian can only talk about masturbating about it.
After Chongzhen read the two war reports, he was very pleased in his heart, and in the early dynasty, he specially named Yu Xiaotian's name, and praised him in the court without hesitation, calling him the pillar of the country, and also affirmed the ministers who recommended Yu Xiaotian to lead the army to the north, saying that they have the ability to know people and raise talents for the country, and this matter is also meritorious.
So this time Laizhou victory, many people have benefited a lot, very happy, those officials who were recommended to Xiaotian, naturally very happy, these people were originally promoted to Xiaotian, to Chongzhen to Xiaotian to lead the army north to quell the rebellion, if in case Yu Xiaotian led the troops to the north, if it is not good, then once Chongzhen is angry, although they will not lose their heads afterwards, but at least Chongzhen will leave an unknown impression, how much is to be responsible.
But now it seems that they really did the right thing when they received gifts and money and came forward to recommend Yu Xiaotian, and now they can finally rest assured.
