Chapter 328: Qingzhou II
Gao Ning's guards actually came to Qingzhou City!
After receiving this news, both Qingzhou Mansion and Hengwang Mansion were shocked.
Since Gao Ning's rebellion, they have also speculated that Gao Ning may continue to expand his territory, but the goal is at most related to Dengzhou, or to attack Laizhou in the north.
The probability of attacking Qingzhou Mansion is not great, after all, there is a vassal king here, which is valued by the Ming Dynasty, and they have been blatantly defending Gaoning in recent times, and have made a lot of preparations.
The reason why he didn't hide the news was to let Gao Ning know that Qingzhou is a hard nut to crack, if you want to expand your territory, you can go north or east, don't go west, or you will break your two teeth.
But they never expected that Gao Ning would really send troops to kill, and so quickly.
How long has it been since they pacified Aoshanwei? With such a reckless army, aren't you afraid that your subordinates will rebel?
What's even more incredible to them is that there is a Hengshan Palace, Gao Ning actually turned a blind eye, is he determined to fight with the court to the end, the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty is a royal dignity, although it is also a cancer in the emperor's heart, but the face can't get by.
There are definitely not many people who make trouble for the vassal king on the opposite side, is Gao Ning really ready to tear his face?
The time when the cavalry arrived was approaching night, and the mobile phone in Jingzhou Mansion didn't know how many people were coming below, and what method was going to be used to attack the city?
The people below are expecting Gao Ning to break through the city and rescue the people from their poor lives, and the upper class people hate it so much that they know Gao Ning's system of dividing land and land.
If this is brought in by Gao Ning, the land they have accumulated for many lifetimes will probably be gone.
Rumors spread in the city, someone Gao Ning brought the shrimp soldiers and crab generals of the Dragon Palace this time, there are 100,000 sailors, if the city does not open the door and surrender immediately, it will immediately set off a big flood and want to flood Qingzhou City.
Qingzhou City is surrounded by mountains, even the neighboring counties and cities have only a few rivers, and there is a shortage of water on weekdays, but even so, there are still many people who believe in this ridiculous rumor.
Hearing the gossip in the city, the prefect and His Royal Highness King Heng looked at each other a little, and hurriedly issued an order to suppress the rumors.
As a result, he ignored it, and the more he suppressed the people, the more he believed it.
This led to more serious chaos in the city, and the prefect had no choice but to issue an order, impose a curfew, strictly require irrelevant people not to enter or leave, and officials at all levels demanded that they assist in suppressing the people according to the order and prohibit civil strife.
This is a special period, and if someone tries to gather a crowd to rebel, they can cut it first and then play it.
The military strength in the city was relatively sufficient, and under the full force, the order in the city was gradually suppressed.
The vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty could only do two things in their lives, live and have children, and the more children they had, the more money the court would give.
It's a lucrative deal for them.
King Heng is okay, but he is not as exaggerated as King Fu, but he also eats fat all over his body, his body is full of fat, and sitting on a chair is a mountain of meat, standing up and walking up and down, like a walking fat meat.
"What to do? What to do? ”
The prince didn't care about maintaining his majesty, and he didn't know what to do in a panic.
Gao Ning's ferocity, he still has a certain understanding, every time he captures a territory, the first thing he does is to arrest all the officials, and slaughter them one by one from top to bottom.
The people of Shaanxi are so troublesome, and they are not as ruthless as Gao Ning, and the prince really can't guarantee that he will not be the chicken sent to the butcher's knife.
"Don't panic!"
The prefect was comforted with a calm face, calm on the surface, and his heart was also up and down, he was originally supervising the imperial history, and later although he was transferred to the prefect of Qingzhou Mansion, he didn't know much about military affairs, and he actually didn't have any defense against the appearance of Gao Ning.
This is also a common problem of the Ming Dynasty, and now Shandong really knows how to fight, only the governor Zhu Dadian, although the rest of the general soldiers dare not be waste, but at least more than half of them are eating and waiting to die.
There is only one general in Qingzhou Mansion, except for eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling every day, he doesn't do anything serious, and he can't count on it at all.
Fortunately, after this period of preparation, the garrison of Qingzhou City is also sufficient, there are about 6,000 people together, and there are 10,000 people on the periphery, if you can arrive in time, there should be a certain chance of winning.
What's more, there are cannons on each gate of Qingzhou City, adding up to about 12, which is the welfare treatment of the feudal king stationed in the town.
But the problem is that the person who came is Gao Ning, and he can't know anything else about Gao Ning's deeds, and it's impossible not to know about destroying Ao Shanwei.
It was a single cannon that knocked down the entire city wall of Aoshanwei, and such a powerful cannon once caused a tremor in the officialdom.
The Ming Dynasty was in danger from top to bottom, and they had no idea what kind of weapon it was caused by.
After arguing in the court for half a month, it was too late, and a summons decree designated Gao Ning as a rebel.
Don't look at the city wall of Aoshanwei that is in disrepair, but no matter how it is a city wall, it can be bombed like that, how long can the city wall of Qingzhou City last?
They really don't have faith.
"Report to your lordship, anyway, we have begun to rectify and prepare to attack the city, and some of them have shouted that we should immediately open the door and surrender, otherwise we will drop huge cannonballs and blow our walls into powder!"
At this time, a soldier ran in in a panic and reported with a pale face.
As soon as he heard this, the faces of all the officials in the hall turned pale, and His Royal Highness King Heng was trembling all over, crying: "Hurry up and do something!" Damn, if he doesn't fight Laizhou, why is he beating us in Qingzhou? It's really a thousand cuts, send someone to ask him, is there any room for turnaround?
Let's give 100,000 taels of silver, some food and ordnance or something, can we let them go back! ”
The prefect had no good way, so he could only nod and say: "The prince is at ease, and he will send someone to contact the enemy army!" ”
As soon as the order was delivered, several local soldiers were hoisted from the top of the city in hanging baskets.
The envoy soon found Yang Guohu, the chief general of the cavalry, and conveyed the meaning of the prince and the prefect.
They said that as long as Gao Ning was willing to leave Qingzhou City, they could even pay about 100,000 taels of silver in supplies, of course, all this must be kept secret, otherwise it would be too embarrassing!
