Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 180

Tu Guobao led [-] town markers, together with Daitong's [-] banner cavalry, and several newly formed regiments, a total of [-] Suzhou soldiers and horses, formed a formation outside Suzhou City to welcome Bo Luo's arrival.

Yan Wogong led Li Yuchun, Zheng Jiwu and surrendered general Wu Zhikui and other guest troops, and they also lined up outside the city to meet them.

Looking at the fluttering green flag and the imposing manner of numerous soldiers and horses, Boluo's anger dissipated a lot. Hearing that Suzhou fell, and even after Li Sutai died in battle, Boluo was so angry that he whipped all the people who reported it. Beat the whip.

I once thought that the situation in Suzhou was rotten, but now it seems that it is indeed as Tu Guobao said, it is only because Li Sutai underestimated the enemy and was arrogant, Suzhou was empty, and the puppet rebels took advantage of the loophole.

"This slave, Tu Guobao, still has some skills. If it weren't for him, the situation in Suzhou would be really chaotic."

Tu Lai and the others also nodded, "Wu Shengzhao, Li Chengdong and Li Sutai are all very dereliction of duty. Fortunately, there is Tu Guobao and Yan Wogong."

"Yes, Mr. Yan has made great contributions again this time. Unexpectedly, the situation in Susong still needs the people of West Zhejiang to maintain it. The soldiers of West Zhejiang should be rewarded well this time. Report it and reward it for merit."

Bo Luo intentionally let Tu Guobao wait for General Su Song to wait on the sidelines, but first received General Zhexi.

Yan Wogong led a group of generals from western Zhejiang to welcome him. Boluo did not hesitate to praise him, and announced some commendations and appointments in public. The left deputy censor of the courtyard and the minister of the Ministry of War, this is already the title of the imperial envoy and governor, and he also paid homage to the bachelor of the Internal Secretarial Academy, bestowed a brocade robe and jade belt, and entered the Hanzheng Yellow Banner.

Li Yuchun was promoted to the commander-in-chief of Songjiang Town, Zheng Jiwu was promoted to the commander-in-chief of Jiaxing Town, Zhu Dagang was promoted to deputy general of Haining, and Wu Fei was awarded the title of commander-in-chief of Jinshanshui Division...
Boluo was very satisfied with the 5-strong Zhexi army led by Yan Li. It was originally composed of a group of surrendered generals, local thieves, landlords, and other recruits. The rapid suppression of Su Song's rebellion is indispensable.

This time, a lot of official green camp flags were given, and the rest were given the title of the local regiment training camp. Those generals were also awarded the seal of indictment, assigned to the defense area, and ordered all localities to pay.

Many defeated soldiers such as Huang Fei and Wu Zhikui were collected by various ministries, and most of them were retained by Boluo.

Since they have proven themselves to be very useful, let's keep it. As for food and equipment, give some of it first, and then figure out a solution for the rest.

After praising all the people in western Zhejiang and rewarding each soldier with two taels of silver, they called the local national treasure Wu Shengzhao, Li Chengdong and other Su Song generals.

It was a swearing at the head and face, and the scolding was bloody.

All kinds of incompetence, wine bags, rice bags and other words are thrown on their heads.

Tu Guobao was also the villain who filed a complaint first, and immediately blamed him, saying that he did not agree with Admiral Wu Shengzhao's plan, but Wu Shengzhao insisted on taking away Su Song's green battalion soldiers and horses. In the end, he took a large army and had to take away a lot of food and money, but he did not accomplish anything. , Instead, Huang Fei Wu Zhikui led an army of [-] to besiege Suzhou.

If he hadn't responded calmly, together with Li Shuitai, with a mere [-] troops, fighting to the death to defeat [-] enemy troops, Suzhou would have been gone long ago.

After defeating the Second Division of Huang and Wu, he also believed that he should be cautious. As a result, Li Sutai underestimated the enemy and rushed forward, resulting in the defeat and death of his soldiers.

But even so, he only took the standard battalion, but still worked desperately, using the strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, luring the main force of the enemy to leave Suzhou, and then attacked and regained Suzhou city at night.

Not only that, after recovering Suzhou, he immediately sent the Biao Battalion to bring the newly reorganized prisoners to the army, and rushed to Songjiang to rescue Li Sutai regardless of the danger, successfully defeated the remnants of Huang Fei, captured Huang Fei, and gathered Li Sutai's remnants were captured, and even spent a lot of money to redeem Li Sutai's head and body.

For the sake of the Qing Dynasty and Suzhou, he can be said to be devoting himself to it.

On the other hand, the admiral Wu Shengzhao, Li Chengdong, the general soldier of Songjiang, Yang Chengzu, the general soldier of Suzhou, etc., took away the army, but they failed to achieve an inch. Songjiang, Kunshan and other cities were recovered by foreign soldiers from western Zhejiang. Chongming did not take it, and even took Jingjiang again lost.

Wu Shengzhao was already at odds with Tu Guobao, but at this time he also came out to defend himself, saying that Tu Guobao agreed with the original plan, and that if Tu Guobao Li Sutai had not underestimated the enemy and went out to fight against the city, Suzhou would never have fallen.

Li Chengdong said that he had already recruited Chongming's Gao Jinzhong, and sent Zhang Guozhu to defeat Chongming Zhang Pengyi in Taicang, recruited Zhang Shiyi, and immediately led his army into Chongming Island to capture the puppet prison king Yiyang alive.

He also said that the guest soldiers from the west of Zhejiang came to grab credit at all, and even the pseudo-admiral Zhu Wu was sent to Su Song by them.

Wu Shengzhao also stood up to support him, thinking that Zhu Wu ran from the east of Zhejiang to the west of Zhejiang, and Yan Wogong Li Yuchun claimed victory, saying how to defeat Zhu Wu, but in the end Zhu Wu fought more and more troops, and even defeated Songjiang to win Suzhou , This simply shows that Li Yuchun and the others are all false reports of military exploits.

Yan My Gong Li Yuchun and others immediately refused to accept it, so the two sides started a war of words.

But Boluo looked down on people like Wu Shengzhao, Li Chengdong, and Yang Chengzu at this time. After all, Li Yuchun and others have repeatedly defeated the rebels. They can not only maintain the stability of Zhejiang and Xi'an, but also send troops to help recover the lost land and help defeat the rebels. What qualifications do Wu Li and the others have? Blame the guest army?
Moreover, Boluo was originally stationed in Hangzhou, and Li Yuchun and others were his direct subordinates. The generals on Su Song's side were actually directly under the command of Duoduo, who was in Jiangning, so he naturally had to protect his own people.

If he didn't want to save Duo Duo some face, he originally planned to let Li Yuchun be the Admiral of Su Song, but now he only let Li Yuchun be the general soldier of Songjiang, which is already showing mercy.

"What's the situation with the rebels now?" Bolo asked.

Tu Guobao reported, "After the rebel army was once again defeated by the humble officials and Yan Anfu coalition forces in Suzhou, the rebel army is now broken into several groups. One group is rushing to the west of Taihu Lake, going to Wucheng, Yixing and other places, and the other is going along the canal. They fled north and entered the border of Changzhou, and one even rushed into the Yangtze River and took Jingjiang away."

"Others have fled to the south and are returning to west Zhejiang."

"The humble job also recruited a lot of rebels, a total of more than [-] people were recruited, and more than [-] people were reorganized into the green battalion to supplement the losses of Su Song's green battalion and the local defense force."

Bo Luo glanced at Wu Zhikui, looking at the money rat tail on the back of his head, very satisfied.

Although it is a pity to hear that Huang Fei actually committed suicide after being captured, the Jiangnan rebellion is almost pacified now, which is not bad.

Bo Luo led the army all the way north, but did not win any battles.

"Mr. Yan will follow me back to Beijing. All the armies in the west of Zhejiang will return to their bases. Just guard the defense area. The rebels who flee to Huzhou and other places will be wiped out by the officers and soldiers of the Green Battalion stationed in each government."

"The same is true for Su Song's side. Each guards the defense zone well. Whoever can't defend it will be questioned."

"As for the rebel army fleeing to Changchang Town, I will hand it over to Lord Ben Belle to suppress it himself."

"As for Chongming Island, the governor of the country, it's more reassuring to leave it to you to deal with Ben Baylor."

"Also, the admiral Wu Shengzhao will not be stationed in Suzhou City anymore. He will be stationed in Fushan Port, Changshu. Yang Chengzu, the general soldier of Suzhou, will be stationed in Baimao Port, Changshu. The deputy chief soldier of Jiading will be stationed in Baoshan Port of Jiading. Zhang Guozhu has made great contributions and was promoted to the deputy chief soldier of Taicang. , still in Taicang, guarding Liuhe Qiya Port.

If these four ports on the east side of Suzhou are well guarded, they will not be afraid of rebels and bandits attacking Suzhou. Whoever fails to guard them will be punished! "

"Governor Tu guards Suzhou well, Zong Bing Li guards Songjiang, Zong Bing Zheng guards Jiaxing, and Deputy General Zhu guards Haining, each guarding its territory!"
