310 The Trend (2-in-1)
In Quanzhou City, the news that Shen Yichen landed in Quanzhou Port with his fleet has been passed to Deng Maoqi's ears.
His face was extremely gloomy at the moment, he never expected that the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity would evolve into the current situation.
Shen Yichen went to Fuzhou City to submit his name, and he could still have the spare strength to integrate the soldiers and horses of the Fujian Political Division, and even get a treasure ship fleet!
Once Deng Maoqi thought that he was the chosen one, but now he felt that if there was really a child of destiny in this world, then this person might be Shen Yichen.
The crisis of the Ming Dynasty's three-front battle was revived by this son!
"Big brother, Admiral Shen landed from the sea and formed an encirclement with Fuzhou Sanwei, which is equivalent to cutting off our retreat to Zhejiang and Jiangxi in disguise."
"Now that the situation has become very unfavorable, what are we going to do next?"
Deng Maoba asked anxiously, you must know that the basic plate of the rebel army is not to occupy the state capital and fight a positional battle with the imperial army. Instead, they controlled the junction of Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi provinces, and flexibly fought guerrilla warfare, forming a situation in which they could attack, retreat, and defend.
Once the retreat is cut off, it means that it will have to fight the imperial army.
To tell the truth, there is a natural gap between the rebel army and the imperial army in terms of training and armament. If it was a group of counterinsurgency soldiers and horses led by the group of wine bags and rice bags of the Fujian Third Division, Deng Maoqi still had the confidence to wrestle his wrists head-on.
But now he has to face Shen Yichen, the governor of Fujian, even if Deng Maoqi is extremely confident, he doesn't dare to say that he can defeat the other party.
After all, after this period of contact, Shen Yichen's strategies and methods in all aspects are really the dragon and phoenix among people, and there is a world of difference between him and the officials of the three divisions of Fujian.
"The miners in the army and Brother Furnace, how are they appeased?"
Deng Maoqi did not answer his brother's question directly, but asked about the rebel army.
After the imperial court announced the four expeditions to Luchuan, the reason why Deng Maoqi did not take the opportunity to directly attack Fuzhou Sanwei was because of the internal instability of the rebel army.
Ye Zongliu and Jiang Fucheng's decision to accept the imperial court's recruitment, and Shen Yichen's promise to accept the letter of acceptance when he left the rebel camp, in a sense, had won the trust and compromise of most of the rebels, and they did not want to continue the war with the imperial court.
Subsequently, Deng Mao's seven strong house arrest Jiang Fucheng seized power, which almost led to a split within the rebel army and fell into a situation of cannibalism.
Thanks to Deng Maoqi's chivalrous reputation, and the trust and prestige he accumulated during the uprising, he was able to barely suppress the dissatisfaction of the rebel miners and furnace workers. Otherwise, there is no need for Shen Yichen to lead the army to quell the rebellion, and the rebel army itself will collapse.
In the face of Deng Maoqi's inquiry, Luo Hai, who was in charge of the guidance of public opinion in the rebel army, stood up and replied: "King Pingping, the miners and the brothers of the furnace were appeased, but Lin Zhuangyuan Gong continued to lecture in the army during this period of time, which caused the brothers to become more and more unwilling to fight, and many people no longer had the determination of the uprising. ”
Speaking of the back, Luo Hai's voice gradually deepened, it was obvious that the main battle faction no longer had the upper hand in the rebel army, and more soldiers wanted the main and Zhao'an.
"That old guy preaches some royal Taoism every day, or Lao Tzu will go out and tie him up!"
Liu Zong has always had an impatient personality, and instead of letting Lin Zhen disturb the morale of the army, it is better to directly put him under house arrest like Jiang Fucheng, which can be called once and for all.
"No!"
Huang Qin immediately stood up and objected.
"Lin Zhuangyuan Gong did not promote any royal Taoism, on the contrary, he was more in the camp to talk to the brothers about some short things in the family, and to help the illiterate brothers write family letters."
"The house arrest of Jiang Lutou has already aroused the dissatisfaction of many brothers, if you do it again against Lin Zhuangyuangong, do you believe that there will be a riot on the spot?"
The morality of the ancients was often the teacher of the monarch of heaven and earth, even if the rebel army rebelled, in fact, the slogan did not dare to directly name the emperor, but more to take revenge on corrupt officials and corrupt officials, similar to the meaning of "Qing Jun's side".
Lin Zhen's identity as a teacher belongs to a part of the human world, coupled with the prestige of the champion prince, he is regarded by the public as a star in the sky, who would dare to do something to him?
In addition, during this period of time, Lin Zhen did not have the shelf of the champion grandmaster, wandering around the camp to greet the ordinary rebel soldiers, and also helping them write letters home.
It can be said that prestige and respect are indistinguishable for a while!
Moving him is equivalent to standing on the opposite side of humanity, Deng Maoqi is simply destroying the Great Wall!
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what do we do?"
"Admiral Shen's army is dozens of miles away, do we really want to surrender to the imperial court and sacrifice the head of the king of bulldozing?"
Liu Zong really felt aggrieved in his heart, and the original morale of the righteous army was like a rainbow to capture Quanzhou City and take half of Fujian. even encountered the imperial court to conquer Luchuan four times, and the soldiers and horses of the southeast political division were withdrawn, which can be called the destiny of heaven.
The result?
Without tasting a defeat, Shen Yichen just came to the camp and walked around, and he directly dissipated the morale of the army.
The hearts of the people are scattered, how can this battle be fought?
"Whoever dares to take my eldest brother's head, Lao Tzu will cut off his dog's head first!"
Deng Maoba expressed his attitude angrily, it was impossible for him to watch the court "only punish the evil", let alone witness the head of his compatriot brother in a different place.
After some angry roars, the hall fell silent.
Under Deng Maoqi's heart, he naturally didn't want to watch the death of the boss who shared life and death, but Shen Yichen was trying to win people's hearts step by step, and now it is said that even Song Zhang's head was brought over.
The trend of the times can be stopped by non-human beings.
"Deng Maoba, you arrange for people to ambush around the tent and prepare for the last fight."
After being silent for a long time, Deng Maoqi finally gave an order to his brother.
He was unwilling to lose to Shen Yichen like this, obviously he seized the opportunity to rise up, and Ming gradually moved towards the flames everywhere, but luck could not stop it from dispersing from his side.
According to Shen Yichen's character, he will definitely not lead his troops to attack directly, and his mentor Lin Zhen is still in the camp, so it is very likely that he will carry Song Zhang's head and enter the camp alone again.
This time is Deng Maoqi's last chance, he will not let Shen Yichen walk out alive.
"Bulldoze the King, you want to ......"
Huang Qin's face was shocked, and Deng Maoqi arranged an ambush, obviously wanting to assassinate Shen Yichen.
But the question is, if you really assassinate Admiral Shen by this means, can you still convince the soldiers under your command?
Can you still call on the people of Fujian, and even the people of Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi provinces to follow?
"Shovel the king, the two armies are still fighting and not killing, not to mention that you still made a promise with Admiral Shen in front of the final soldiers, I hope to be cautious!"
"I also hope that the king of bulldozing will think twice, and don't ruin his reputation in one fell swoop!"
Chen Jingde, Luo Hai and other generals under Deng Maoqi's command stood up one after another to persuade.
It's easy to kill Shen Yichen, but the other party is not a corrupt official like Song Zhang, who is spurned by thousands of people, how to face the condemnation of the people in the land of Fujian after killing, and how to face the righteous indignation of the people in the world?
The sealing of the territory depends not only on the destiny of heaven, but also on the expectations of the public!
"What is the name of a lifetime, ruined in one fell swoop?"
"Could it be that my eldest brother has led his brothers from birth to death all these years, and he is not as good as Shen Yichen, a court dog official?"
When Deng Maoba heard the persuasion of these colleagues, he instantly felt furious.
How long has Shen Yichen been in Fujian to supervise the military affairs, in terms of prestige, trust, and affection in the righteous army, which one can compare to his eldest brother Deng Maoqi?
Chen Jingde and others have followed Deng Maoqi's side since the beginning of the Shaxian uprising, and it stands to reason that Shen Yichen can compare with Shen Yichen?
Now that the other party clearly represents the imperial court and wants to take Deng Maoqi's life, this group of brothers who share life and death is not brainless to stand on the side of their eldest brother, and they actually say bastard things that ruined their reputation.
It's tolerable, it's unbearable!
"It is precisely because of the life and death of the king of the bulldozing that as a brother, I don't want others to turn their backs, and Shen Yichen can't kill him!"
"The emperor can kill everything, why can't he kill him?"
Seeing that the quarrel between the two sides was getting worse and worse, Deng Maoqi could only stand up and stop: "This king has made a decision, and my mother needs to say more about this matter!" ”
"Bulldozing the ......"
Chen Jingde still wanted to dissuade him, but then Deng Maoqi shouted angrily: "You still know that I am the king of bulldozing, is it so useless that the words of this king are so useless?" ”
"I ...... Subordinates know their mistakes! ”
Chen Jingde came to his lips, saw Deng Maoqi's red eyes, and understood that the other party was really angry, so he could only sigh and bow his head to admit his mistake.
"Stand down, this king wants to be quiet for a while."
"Yes, the subordinates retired."
Everyone in the tent knew in their hearts that Deng Maoqi must be facing a difficult choice at this moment.
On the one hand, there is unwillingness, on the other hand, there is the general trend, not everyone can accept it calmly.
At noon, a long convoy appeared under the city of Quanzhou, looking at the still dilapidated city wall, Shen Yichen felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
"High in the Sky"
The turmoil in the southeast of the Ming Dynasty in history may subside today, and he is about to change the direction of the giant wheel of history.
But I don't know why, Shen Yichen suddenly had no bottom in his heart, in the face of unknown history in the future, will he still be able to remotely control the giant ship of Daming and drive on the right channel?
"Little Deng Xin'an, on the order of King Pingping, came to greet Admiral Shen."
Coming to the bottom of the city gate, Deng Xin'an, the commander of the cavalry of the rebel army, led a team of men and horses to greet him.
When Shen Yichen came to Quanzhou Mansion for the first time, he met the cavalry team led by Deng Xin'an, but he didn't expect to return to Quanzhou Mansion again, and they were still greeted.
"Mr. Deng Qian is polite, lead the way."
Shen Yichen, who was also riding on a horse, gestured with his hand.
However, Deng Xin'an didn't take action, he turned to look at the guards behind Shen Yichen and said, "Admiral Shen, you and I have different identities after all, so it is inconvenient for the soldiers and horses of the court under your command to enter the city." ”
"Deng Xin'an, Boss Ye is still here, we even went into the camp last time, and now we can't enter the city?"
Zheng Xiang, who was following Ye Zongliu's side, immediately retorted angrily after hearing this.
You must know that after going ashore, in order not to bring too much psychological pressure to the rebel army, Shen Yichen also refused Feng Zheng and Li Zhan's request to lead the escort, and still brought the people who came to Fuzhou Mansion last time, not much!
Last time, I even walked into the barracks, and now that Quanzhou City is so big, are you afraid that you will wait for others to go in?
Listening to Zheng Xiang's angry rebuke, Deng Xin'an only smiled and said: "Last time, you were still my brother of the righteous army, and now I heard that you have recruited an to join the Fujian Navy, which can be described as a thief and a thief!" ”
"What did you say!"
In the face of Deng Xin'an's obviously sarcastic words, Zheng Xiang felt even more angry at this time. Staying by Shen Yichen's side during this time, he realized how much he had done to save the Fujian Righteous Army, and even Song Zhang, a second-class member of the dignified court, was killed.
Now this group of former brothers sees themselves and others as enemies?
"Deng Xin'an, aren't you going to let me in?"
In this situation, Ye Zongliu rode forward and asked Deng Xin'an.
No matter how you say it, he is also one of the three leaders of the rebel army, when did he even lose this status and dignity.
"Of course Boss Deng can go in, but they can't."
Deng Xin'an pointed to the guards behind Shen Yichen, such as Canghuo and Wu Rui, indicating that the imperial court soldiers and horses were not allowed to enter this time.
At this time, Wu Rui responded coldly: "Jiang Lutou, you all dare to be under house arrest, who knows if you will do something to Admiral Shen, and not letting us in is planning to commit murder?" ”
Wu Rui originally said it casually, but he didn't expect Deng Xinan to listen, but his expression was a little strange.
Shen Yichen was extremely keenly aware of the other party's unnaturalness, and his heart instantly became vigilant, could it be that Deng Maoqi really planned to use Zhao'an as an excuse to attack him?
"That's right, since you Deng Maoqi said that I am a soldier of the imperial court, then I might as well tell you that Lao Tzu is Admiral Shen's personal guard, and he will not leave an inch!"
Canghuotou also replied with the smell of gunpowder, he was not a miner who had recently joined the Fujian Navy, and he had long sworn allegiance to Shen Yichen. Not to mention what kind of court soldiers and horses, even if it is a chaotic minister and thief, as long as Shen Yichen gives an order, he will not hesitate to be it.
Unless the main guard is dead, it is impossible to abandon the master, and the other party's posture is obviously a little abnormal, so he has to follow closely.
"Mr. Deng Qian, in the eyes of this official, Chief Deng is a heroic figure. Is it true that even the guards, who are less than a hundred people, are scared now? ”
Shen Yichen replied with a little contempt, Deng Maoqi's move really lowered the impression of the hero in his heart, those who become big things should have a big mind, even if they really want to attack themselves, they will be able to use the sword and the gun.
Less than 100 people dare to enter the city to recruit peace, what are Deng Mao's 700,000 righteous army afraid of!
Almost as Shen Yichen's words fell, a pawn ran to Deng Xin'an's side and whispered a few words to him.
"Admiral Shen, it's a small offense, please come in!"
After that, Deng Xin'an stood on one side to make way in and out of the city gate, and bowed his waist to make a gesture of please.
"Thank you."
Shen Yichen returned the salute with his fists, and then led the guards into the city, compared to more than two months ago, there was no longer blood and gunsmoke here.
But the dilapidated houses and depressed streets around are still silently telling the story of Quanzhou City.
However, on both sides of the road, there were two rows with no end in sight, spontaneously going to meet Shen Yichen's rebels.
The strategy of the top does not affect the emotions of the soldiers at the bottom.
They know who sent the medical supplies, who wants to save the lives of 100,000 volunteers, and who sincerely shoulders the lives of the people of Fujian!
can appear in this scene, not only Shen Yichen's actions to practice his words, but also Lin Zhen's tireless persuasion in the past two months.
Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and the same is true for Zhao'an.
Only when the 100,000 righteous army are happy and convinced, can a general trend be formed, and can Fujian be completely restored to a peaceful and prosperous era!
