Zhu Dadian is really going to cry!

He is a person who dares to make money in an oil pot, and he feels hot when he looks at 20,000 taels of silver.

The Dengzhou Rebellion has not yet been quelled, and reinforcements from all walks of life are still needed.

And these 20,000 taels of silver will be given to the Liaodong Army, what about other reinforcements such as Shandong soldiers, Sichuan soldiers, etc.?

If you don't give it, don't say that Gao Gonggong can't pass the pass. Let's just say, without the Liaodong Army, what can be used to quell the rebellion.

But if it is given all, the soldiers of the other roads will definitely make trouble.

After thinking about it, Zhu Dadian could only give the silver to Gao Qiqian with tears, and he had to go in person.

Other reinforcements make trouble, and they can be pressed. Without Gao Qiqian and the Liaodong Army, even counterinsurgency is a problem.

After Gao Qiqian received the silver, he found Meng Qiaofang.

"We don't want any of this money, General Lao Meng took it down and gave it to the brothers in Liaodong."

Gao Qiqian knows very well that whether he will live comfortably in the future depends on the Liaodong Army.

In that case, you have to be willing to give money.

Meng Qiaofang looked at these snowflakes and silver, and was not greedy at all: "In order to quell the rebellion, we can't ask for all of this silver."

It's better to do this, our army of more than 10,000 people has three dollars each, the people have two dollars each, and the rest will be given to other reinforcements. ”

This is calculated, according to the standard that ten coins are equal to one tael, ten thousand troops and twenty thousand people, together equal to five thousand taels of silver.

The remaining fifteen,000 taels were distributed among the other reinforcements, and each of the big soldiers could get three pieces of silver.

"I can't imagine that the general asked for money for this purpose."

It feels a little incredible.

Meng Qiaofang said with a smile: "Our status as soldiers is low, and those adults will definitely use the money elsewhere if they take it." When the time comes, even the money to buy the pancakes will be gone. ”

At the market price at that time, three coins of silver could buy one hundred and twenty biscuits.

"Heh......" Gao Qiqian smiled, and had to look at Meng Qiaofang differently: "No wonder Yang Dashuai wants to send you to lead the army alone, you are really a talent." ”

"Thank you for your father-in-law's compliment!"

Meng Qiaofang clenched his fists and said, "If Gonggong Gao has no other opinions, just send out this silver." ”

"Of course I don't have a problem."

Gao Qiqian smiled and said, "Not only no, but I also added one or two to the additional Liaodong Army brothers to reward them for their first arrival." ”

"Then I will represent the soldiers of the First Division of the Liaodong Army, thank you for the grace of Father-in-law Gao."

Meng Qiaofang hugged his fists.

When the potential is the most popular, there are more than 100,000 taels of silver. gave the Liaodong Army more than 10,000 taels of silver, but it was only a dime.

The discussion has been decided, and Gao Qi dived into the hands of the Ming army to distribute silver.

Each soldier of the Liaodong Army received one or two or three dollars, and the soldiers and civilians received three dollars.

The extra money was what Meng Qiaofang asked for from Gao Qiqian.

5,839 soldiers from Deng Xi's department, 3,494 soldiers from Chen Hongfan's department, Miyun soldiers, Changping soldiers, etc., each received three coins.

Although these soldiers take the same money as the people, they have money to take anyway.

Tianjin and Baoding were defeated, because the main generals were in prison and were not rewarded.

So, they ran to Zhu Dadian's yamen every day to shout grievances.

Zhu Dadian couldn't live in peace, so he had to beg Chongzhen to allocate 3,000 taels of internal money before he could be regarded as sending away this group of military masters.

On 23 April, Chen Hongfan, who was anxious to make meritorious contributions, took the initiative to ask Ying to be the vanguard of the whole army to seek intelligence.

Gao Qiqian agreed.

In the afternoon of the same day, the good news came that Chen Hongfan had recovered Zhaoyuan without blood.

In fact, due to the rebels gathering in Huang County, Zhaoyuan was already an empty city.

After Chen Hongfan inquired clearly, he dared to take the initiative to ask for help.

The Liaodong Army also inquired, but Meng Qiaofang told his subordinates not to publicize the matter.

This gang is about equal to the reinforcements of waste wood, and it is impossible to count on them to help, as long as they do not cause chaos.

Just a small effort to recover Zhaoyuan, let it go.

On April 28, the Liaodong Army set out.

This can make Gao Qiqian, Zhu Dadian and Xie Sanbin really majestic.

Hearing that the Liaodong Army was dispatched, many people came to watch.

I saw a group of Liaodong troops coming out of the city, neatly aligned.

The flags are unfurled, and the cavalry cannons and the people are neat and orderly.

There are all kinds of artillery, large and small, and there are so many that the people are dumbfounded.

After leaving the city, they immediately marched in a field formation. Completely different from other noisy Ming troops, the Liaodong Army changed formations very smoothly.

It is completely in line with the people's fantasy of the Ming army in Jinzhou.

They all blessed the army with triumph.

This made Zhu Dadian and Xie Sanbin, two people who had read the "Book of Sages" for half their lives, feel that their faces were bright, and their backs were straighter.

Gao Qi sneaked into it, and there was a burst of disdain in his heart, without our family's mediation, can you mobilize this army?

The army marched to the new town and stopped to rest, and then summoned the generals of the Ming army to discuss the next march strategy.

Unlike in the past, this time it was not Zhu Dadian and other civilian officials who formulated a strategy, and then the military attache carried it out.

Instead, the civil officials sat aside, and Meng Qiaofang, who was a military attaché, formulated the strategy.

Meng Qiaofang pointed to the sand table and analyzed: "The south of Huangxian County is a mountain, the north is a plain and the sea, and the terrain is a step-like low from southeast to northwest.

This determined that the rebels would most likely hide in the mountains, and then take advantage of the passage of the main forces of our army, attack the baggage of our army, and take advantage of the rout of the fleeing people, and then attack our army.

In this way, our army will be scattered in the ranks of the people, and we will suffer a crushing defeat. ”

This move is indeed spicy enough, and many battles in which fewer victories have been won more throughout the ages have been fought with this trick.

"Now that you know the enemy's schemes, what should you do?"

Deng Xi asked.

Since getting the silver, Deng Xi's good impression of Meng Qiaofang has doubled.

"We were split in two, and the baggage troops remained in the town. The Liaodong Army still took the official road to attract the attention of the enemy. ”

Meng Qiaofang said: "The Sichuan soldiers marched along the mountain road, and when our army fought with the rebels, you would take the opportunity to kill." ”

"Then our family and the two adults will stay in the town, strictly guard and wait for good news."

The final word is high and dive.

When Zhu Dadian and Xie Sanbin heard this, they didn't dare to object.

As a result, the army was divided into three in the new town, and Meng Qiaofang led the main force of the whole army to take the official road and go straight to Huangxian.

Deng Xi then followed up and took the mountain road to slash and kill the rebels.

Chen Hongfan and other Ming troops stayed in the new town to protect the three adults.

In order to lure the rebels to attack, Meng Qiaofang deliberately did not send out scouts, but led the army to follow the explored route and march along the official road.

When they arrived at Baimatang, they suddenly killed the rebels from the dense forest.

"Kill!"

The rebels shouted and slaughtered the Liaodong army.

"Don't panic, the cavalry is in front, the heavy armor is on both sides, and the quadrangles are formed!"

Meng Qiaofang calmly gave orders.

The soldiers of each battalion, under the leadership of their respective company commanders, formed a quadrangle.

The cavalry was directly ahead, resisting the onslaught of the rebel cavalry.

Spearmen and rattans formed a formation on the periphery to defend against the first wave of the rebels.

The firearms hand was in the back, calmly loading the ammunition, and then, under the command of the company commander, fired round after round.

The most powerful thing is the cannon!

Pull up the cannon on the hills, adjust the firing angle, and shell the rebels who are pouring in!

Boom Boom Boom ......
