The 537th Round

Behind Mao Chenglu, a man with sharp eyes was revealed, it was Wang Chengyin.

There are three marshals and four general soldiers for the Tianxing Dao Army.

Liu Zeqing and Xie Shangzheng were killed, Li Jiucheng and Chen were sometimes killed in battle, and Chen Guangfu was still in Dongcheng to be artillery.

Only Wang Chengyin and Mao Chenglu have the authority to stabilize the Tianxing Dao army after the internal strife and surrender to the official army.

How can anyone share the credit of this dedication to the city. And one more person, one more danger.

Only the dead can keep secrets.

As for the living, such as Wang Chengyin, he can make up nonsense and throw the pot to other dead people.

After killing Mao Chenglu, Wang Chengyin took his own soldiers to Xicheng and opened the city gate.

The officers and troops outside the western city stormed the city and began to kill.

The rebels who surrendered were forced to flee to the city of Water, where they defended it.

The officers and troops attacked several times, but they all returned in vain.

When Zhu Dadian and Xie Sanbin heard about this, they had to find Meng Qiaofang again and plead with the Liaodong Army to attack Shuicheng.

"All I was tasked with was to put down the rebellion and regain Dengzhou."

Meng Qiaofang was very dissatisfied with their approach: "I didn't say that I would help you conquer the water city and slaughter the rebels." ”

"This ......" Zhu Dadian also had a bitter expression, how could they control this.

Originally, they and Mao Chenglu privately agreed to open the city gate and not kill those who surrendered, hoping to quell the rebellion as soon as possible and earn a great credit for themselves.

If you know that the official army enters the city, you can't control the people. When you see a woman, you rob it, and when you see a treasure, you take it, and there is no military discipline.

Not only did it delay the siege, but it also gave the rebels the opportunity to retreat calmly, and at the same time provoked their anger.

Now Wang Chengyin's words no longer work.

"The battalions cleaned up the battlefield as soon as possible and counted the number of people."

Meng Qiaofang ordered: "Send someone to inform the sailors of Jinzhou and ask them to vacate a few large boats to transport the wounded back to Liaodong by sea." ”

The communication company received the order and left on horseback.

As soon as he heard that the Liaodong Army was leaving, Zhu Dadian was anxious: "General Meng, you can't just leave, the rebellion has not been quelled yet!" ”

"There's only one water city left, and you can't take it?" Meng Qiaofang asked with a sneer.

He was now extremely tired of these civilians and friendly troops.

These guys don't have the ability to fight, and they have the ability to grab credit and be careful.

Not to mention that these people carried him behind his back and exchanged secret letters with the generals in the city, it was said that Miyun soldiers took advantage of the chaos to cut off Li Jiucheng's head, and insisted that they killed him.

Hell yes! During the fierce battle last night, Miyun soldiers hid behind the fence and didn't even dare to risk their heads.

When the artillery bombarded the city, they ran out and cut off their heads.

A soldier named Hong Deyu went to theorize and was almost beaten by them.

If Liu Zhilun hadn't gone in time, the Miyun soldiers would have been beaten by the angry soldiers of the third battalion of cavalry.

When the time comes, add an article to the impeachment of the Liaodong Army to eliminate friendly forces.

"General Meng! If you do this, you will not be afraid that we will impeach you in front of the emperor. ”

The rebellion was basically quelled, and Xie Sanbin was less reliant on the Liaodong Army, and his attitude towards them changed subtly.

"Impeach me? Whatever you want, I have completed the task anyway, and it is time to lead the army back to Liaodong in triumph. ”

Meng Qiaofang said nonchalantly: "The handsome man is still waiting to give us a banquet to celebrate our victory." ”

Zhu Dadian and Xie Sanbin looked at each other.

In the end, it was Zhu Dadian who relented: "General Meng, you have something to say." Don't be presumptuous. ”

"Okay, then I put forward two conditions, first, after the rebels surrender, they will be at my disposal; The reward for the second destruction of the city - 35,000 taels of silver, not a single child is missing. ”

Meng Qiaofang opened the bid code, and it depended on whether Zhu Dadian would accept it.

Zhu Dadian thought about it briefly, it is useless to rely on those crotch pullers, and he has to rely on the Liaodong Army.

He gritted his teeth and nodded, "Promise you." ”

"Good." Meng Qiaofang turned back to Ma Guangyuan and said, "General Ma, I will go to recruit the rebels, and you will be responsible for the affairs here." ”

"Understood." Ma Guangyuan nodded.

The military commander should not leave the command post at the same time during the battle, and this is Yang Chengying's stipulation.

Meng Qiaofang took the guards and arrived at the city of Shuicheng.

"In the lower Liaodong Army, the chief general Meng Qiaofang, please come out and answer the person in charge."

Meng Qiaofang said loudly.

Chen Guangfu, who was temporarily elected as the leader, appeared at the head of the city, "It is below." ”

"I don't know your honorable name?" Meng Qiaofang asked with a fist clenched.

"Chen Guangfu, for the chief soldier of the Tianxing Dao Army."

"It turned out to be the head of the army."

"Exactly." Chen Guangfu clenched his fists and asked, "I don't know if General Meng is in danger here, what advice do you have?" ”

"Huh...... Don't dare to be instructed. It's just that I have a few words that I want to say to Leader Chen and all the soldiers in the city. ”

"I want to hear about it."

"As the saying goes, 'those who know the times are handsome', Leader Chen and you should know that our Liaodong Army is in the south, and the Navy Division is in the north, and it is difficult for you to fly."

Meng Qiaofang clenched his fists and said, "Why don't you follow the example of the brothers in front of you, lay down your weapons, and save your life." ”

"It's not that we don't want to lay down our arms, it's just that the officers and soldiers are too hateful! Kill my brothers, plunder my property, deceive my family. ”

Chen Guangfu is also very frank.

In fact, he had already thought of surrendering. But in the face of the officers and soldiers who were only a little worse than himself, he did not dare and did not want to surrender.

Only when the Liaodong Army, which had strict military discipline and the ability to settle his family, came, he was willing to come out and say a few words to test it.

"Your Excellency and all the soldiers have been in turmoil in Shandong for several months, and it is difficult to explain the rights and wrongs. But I can guarantee that after the surrender of the princes, only the chief evil will be killed, and the rest will not be asked. ”

Meng Qiaofang noticed it and took the initiative to make conditions: "If you are willing to be a soldier, you will go back with me, and if you are unwilling, you will be given severance pay." Follow me to settle in Liaodong and live a stable life ever since. ”

Needless to say, these policies are not mentioned by Meng Qiaofang, and the rebels in the city have heard of them.

Some of the people who had committed heinous crimes looked left and right, feeling that the soldiers around them were looking at him wrongly.

"Why do you want to kill the first evil? Before we made a rebellion, the people of Shandong treated us leniently, and they killed our Liao people at the instigation of the squires and beat the people with southern Liaoning accents. ”

Chen Guangfu still wants to fight for it.

"The people who slay you are also plagued with evil. The whole of Shandong, graves everywhere. ”

Meng Qiaofang said with a serious face: "Grievances and grievances have to go down and personally entangle with those people." ”

The words are very literary and the attitude is very tough.

Some were afraid of being interrogated and encouraged Chen Yongfu to continue his rebellion; Some cared about their families and proposed to surrender Kaesong.

Several parties exchanged views fiercely, and finally reached a relatively unanimous opinion.

Kaesong surrendered.

On the third day of June in the second year of Chongzhen, the water city of Dengzhou surrendered.

At this point, the mutiny that took place on 28 September last year was finally put down.

Meng Qiaofang received more than 10,000 rebels and their families, including 2,000 soldiers who could fight.

Geng Zhongming captured more than 7,000 rebel sailors, including 1,000 soldiers who could fight.

All the warships of the Denglai Naval Division were accepted by Geng Zhongming.

There were 30,000 Liao people who agreed to go to Liaodong for fear of reprisals.

Since then, Xiong Tingbi's painstaking efforts have all been in vain.

The tripartite arrangement, the Li Dynasty on the first side, ostensibly respects the Ming Dynasty, but in fact has a very close relationship with Yang Chengying.

The second governor of Denglai was also revoked after this turmoil due to his actual existence.

The third party, Liaoxi, was directly incorporated into Liaonan by Yang Chengying, and became a force that Chongzhen was very afraid of and had to appease.
