Due to Yan Keng's new policy, there was no collusion between the officials and gentry in Shaxian County, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

After Yan learned the truth, he immediately realized that this was a good person.

He immediately ordered someone to summon Deng Maoqi, who was then the chief of the local twenty-four capitals.

Deng Maoqi was stout and strong, with a beard, and he looked like he was not easy to mess with, but his eyes flashed with wisdom.

In the face of such a big man as severe, he did not show any timidity, and bowed his head generously to greet him, there was no lack of etiquette, but he advanced and retreated in a certain degree, and when he saw the grim, he was already a little satisfied in his heart.

After a reply, Yan Yan confirmed in his heart that this is a malleable talent.

Regarding Ye Zongliu's rebels, his evaluation is like this:

"It's just a rabble! They are united by the fear of punishment by the imperial court and the greed for money, but such a rendezvous is extremely unstable, as long as the imperial court relaxes the ban on them, then these people may collapse at any time, and they have no intention of fighting to the end! ”

"The thief chief Ye Zongliu is even more of a mouse-eyed, he neither attacked the state and occupied the capital, nor did he steal the dangerous place, he actually went to attack the silver mine, in the case of the imperial court to transfer troops to quell the rebellion, he actually led the rebels to mine, what can such a person do?"

"The leaders are like this, and the troops under them will not have the military spirit and the fighting spirit! The reason why they have been able to survive so far is just that the generals of the court are prevaricating, and it is difficult to catch up with them by wandering around. ”

"As soon as the counterinsurgency army arrives, it will be a turtle in an urn!"

His views were exactly the same as Grim's, and in some places even more profound, much to Grim's surprise, when even decided to take him under his wing.

In fact, as Deng Maoqi said, Ye Zongliu's troops have great drawbacks. In the original history, compared with the mighty uprising of King Deng Maoqi, Ye Zongliu really pulled his crotch a lot.

During the heyday of Deng Maoqi, almost all of Fujian was occupied and half of Jiangxi was occupied, and Ye Zongliu was always a rogue, and the two said that they echoed each other's aid, but in fact they were not at the same level at all.

Fortunately, in this time and space, the butterfly effect caused by Yan Keng made this giant who mobilized troops from the four provinces, and even alarmed Beijing, and caused 50,000 Beijing camps to go south, before finally calming down.

Yan Yan naturally didn't know that his father had inadvertently helped him so much, and he had already acted according to his own ideas.

The first thing he scolded was to the generals:

"There are tens of thousands of officials and soldiers, but there are more than 1,000 thieves, so that in the past three years, Ye Wei has gathered tens of thousands of troops to attack the city and occupy the county, or in such a heartfelt place in the Ming Dynasty, my father sees that you are a group of wine bags and rice bags!"

"Before my father-in-law came, Your Majesty had complained about your incompetence many times, if it weren't for my father-in-law's persuasion, you would have been dismissed from your post and imprisoned or even your head would have fallen to the ground!"

A sharp reprimand made many generals tremble, and after lowering his head, he slowed down his tone and said:

"Next, you will fight with your father, and you will make meritorious contributions, as long as you fight bravely in the future, your father-in-law will not be responsible for the previous things, and he will ask the court for a reward for you."

"Next, do your best!"

The generals suddenly agreed, their eyes flashed with fire, compared to the previous idea that they only needed to drive Ye Zongliu out of their station, they were now grasshoppers on a string, and their attitudes had completely changed.

Grim nodded in satisfaction and began to deploy his strategy.

is the same as Deng Maoqi said, dealing with the rogues is one word, "wai"!

Later generations came and went like the wind, and even cut off the head of the monk Lingqin in the high-rise village, which was defeated under the siege of the Qing army, which shows that this trick has a miraculous effect on the Liukou.

Spread the net on all sides to prevent it from flowing, and then the army pressed the border!

The generals took orders one after another.

A huge net has been pounced on the rebels who are still stranded in Zhenghe County.

A large number of Ming troops gathered around Jianning Mansion, where the rebels were located, guarding the key points and waiting for stern orders.

But Ye Zongliu didn't know anything about it, he was still enjoying flowers and wine in the county, and the rebels were also indulged in the wealth of the county and lost their guard.

It wasn't until the Ming army completed the transfer and the army of more than 60,000 people surrounded Zhenghe County that Ye Zongliu finally discovered that something was wrong.

But he was not panicked, the Ming army lost a county seat, and it must be recaptured, which he knew very well.

Now that the Ming army is pressing, it's a big deal to give up, leave Jianning Mansion and go to the next place to enjoy.

He thought that the Ming army would happily "recover" the county seat without much effort, as before, and then report to the merit, and would not pursue him in the slightest.

He even became interested in Fucheng and wanted to explore the riches in it.

Ye Zongliu boldly led his army to the west, he wanted to attack the capital city!

However, in just one day, he abandoned his armor and came back, and the more than 10,000 defenders of the Ming army showed great enthusiasm for fighting, and Ye Zongliu lost nearly 4,000 people in one day and was forced to retreat.

He faintly felt that something was wrong, and at this time, his subordinates also came to report that traces of the Ming army had been found in the south.

Ye Zongliu immediately led his army to flee north, but when he arrived in Pucheng County, he was blocked back by the Ming army there.

To the east, it was also a nose of ash.

He finally realized that something was wrong.

TNND, labor and management seem to be surrounded!

And at this time, Yan Yan personally led the Ming army and marched towards them.

Ye Zongliu had no choice but to camp on the spot and confront the Ming army from afar.

At night, the shouts of the Ming army resounded around the rebels:

"The emperor has decreed, you are all good people, and you will be coerced by evil criminals, so you will oppose the court, lay down your arms and surrender, and the court will definitely not blame the past!"

"We just need Ye Zongliu's head!"

"Kill the one who stays in the Ye Sect, and reward a thousand gold!"

This is Yan Keng's heart-to-heart strategy.

Sure enough, listening to the voices of the Ming army on all sides, the rebels were shaken, the defeat of the previous Fucheng had greatly damaged their morale, and now the shouting of the Ming army completely disintegrated their military spirit.

Ye Zongliu felt hopeless, even though there were more than 10,000 troops around him, but at this moment he felt as if he was standing in front of the Ming army without any cover, facing thousands of troops alone.

In fear, he ushered in his own end.

The next day, the Ming army launched an offensive against the rebels.

One touch, and it collapses.

The morale of the army has been dispersed, even if the combat effectiveness of these rebels has improved a lot in the past few years, but the soldiers have no intention of fighting, and it is useless to say anything.

The rebels collapsed in an instant, countless rebel soldiers dropped their weapons, kowtowed and begged, and the rest of the rebels scattered and fled, and the Ming army immediately pursued and killed, harvesting more than 4,000 heads.

Ye Zongliu died in the chaos.

However, for the rest of the month, the Ye Zongliu rebellion, which had plagued the Ming Dynasty for more than three years, was easily quelled after the severity came.

At the end of the day, it's just a rabble.

The armies returned to their stations, and the officials began to deal with the post-war process.

And Yan Yan returned to Beijing to resume his life, but he also took another person with him when he left.

Deng Maoqi.

This is a meritocracy, and it cannot be wasted.
