Daming wolf ride

The military situation is on fire, since the departure from Cangzhou on the 24th, the order to urge troops from Shandong Governor Zhu Dadian has not stopped for a day, just like the twelve gold medals Yue Wumu received.

The last order actually required the Jinzhou Army to rush to Laizhou within three days, otherwise the military law would be enforced!

All the generals said that the urging from Shandong was too urgent and too unreasonable. They traveled day and night, and it would take at least four days to reach Laizhou.

Besides, the Liao army is a guest soldier. How can there be such a reason in this world to urge the guest soldiers to follow the military law? Is there such an unreasonable governor?Could it be that his soldiers and horses in Shandong are all dead, and they all expect their Jinzhou army to fail!

The dissatisfaction of the generals is not unreasonable. According to his Shandong urging method, this battle cannot be fought at all, because the people have not arrived yet, and I am afraid that they will die of exhaustion on the way. [

However, Shi Dayong understood that the situation in Dengzhou might be at the most dangerous moment, and it is estimated that it might be captured by the rebels at any time.Otherwise, Zhu Dadian, governor of Shandong, would not be so anxious to get angry and urge himself.

His judgment was correct, Dengzhou was at its last moment, Kong Youde was only one step away from winning Dengzhou City, and the key reason for the sudden turn of events was still the bookish governor Sun Yuanhua.

After appointing Geng Zhongming and other Dongjiang Liao generals to lead the Liao army in the city, Sun Yuanhua once again neglected to employ people and sent the old Dongjiang general Zhang Tao to lead the Liao soldiers out of the city to fight. He originally wanted him to attack Kong Youde together with Zhang Ke and most of the Zhejiang soldiers, hoping to win a victory. Forcing Kong Youde to accept court appeasement.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Tao and Kong Youde are old acquaintances. They had a close relationship when they were in Dongjiang in the past, and they had long wanted to respond to Kong Youde.Suffering from the soldiers under his command, he didn't dare to act rashly.As a result, a pie fell from the sky, and Sun Yuanhua actually handed three thousand Liao soldiers into his hands!

Zhang Tao, who got the chance, relapsed with Kong Youde immediately after leaving the city, and surrendered to Kong Youde without firing a gun.

With the help of these three thousand Liao soldiers who turned their muzzles, the rebels encircled Zhang Keda's Zhejiang soldiers. After struggling for less than a stick of incense, the Zhejiang soldiers' defense line was broken by the rebels.In the end, Zhang Keda fled back to the city in embarrassment with more than 500 remaining Zhejiang soldiers under the brave fighting of Zhejiang soldiers.So far, no one in Dengzhou city dared to go out of the city to fight the rebels.

And after this battle, Dengzhou City, which had lost its mobile force, was completely surrounded by rebels, so surrounded that a fly could not fly out.

Zhu Dadian, who was rushing desperately to Dengzhou, suddenly lost all contact with Dengzhou on the 22nd.

On the 23rd, several dead soldiers of the Ming army who sneaked out before the siege passed the news that Dengzhou had been besieged to death.

Shocked, Zhu Dadian did not rush to Dengzhou immediately, but ordered the whole army to stop advancing and stand by for orders.

Although Zhu Dadian was a civil servant, he had experience as a Pinghong Maofan in Fujian in his early years, so he was not the kind of bookworm who blindly commanded the military with a black eye.

He knew that the current Kong Youde was no longer Wu Xia Ameng, now that he had three thousand Dongjiang Liao soldiers from Dengzhou City to help him, his strength was not what it used to be.

With only 1800 Qi family troops and 3000 Lu troops under his command, Zhu Dadian had no confidence to go alone to rescue the siege.

The only thing he can count on now is Gao Qiqian in Hebei and the powerful Liao army assigned to him by the imperial court.

For this reason, he sent people to report the situation of the Dengzhou army to Gao Qiqian who was stationed in Shang County, and on the other hand, he kept sending people to urge the Jinzhou army who was still on the way to move faster, even ignoring the arrival of the Liao army. In fact, they were forced to rush to Laizhou within three days.

Now that things have happened, Zhu Dadian can't take care of so much anymore. He only knows that if the rebels capture Dengzhou, then he, the governor of Shandong, will be considered successful.

The current Jinzhou Army is like a member of the firefighting team. Under the leadership of Commander Shi Dayong, they rushed to Dengzhou at a rapid march. [

How did the thousand soldiers in the Beijing camp suffer so much? They complained a lot along the way, and after barely marching with the Jinzhou army for two days, they couldn't hold on any longer.From the commanding officer Pei Shaokuan down to the groom, they all lay in the camp like mud, no matter how much the Jinzhou army beat and scolded them, they refused to get up and set off.

Shi Dayong, who was eager to go to Dengzhou to relieve the siege, saw that the soldiers of the Beijing camp were really in bad shape, and they didn't look like an army at all.Even if this kind of waste army is taken to Dengzhou, it is also useful. In desperation, he simply asked Pei Shaokuan to lead the Beijing camp to act alone behind.

Shi Dayong had no choice but to go to Dengzhou as long as the Beijing camp could go. As for when they could arrive, it was up to them.If Dengzhou fell due to the delay of the Beijing camp, Shi Dayong would not be at ease.

Offending the great eunuch Gao Qiqian, Shi Dayong has never felt uneasy, but if the military situation is delayed and the city falls, Shi Dayong will feel ashamed of the emperor.His thought of loyalty to the emperor has deepened day by day, which makes people feel incredible.

Although Fang Jingying acted on his own, Shi Dayong issued a strict order when he left. If Pei Bu dared to act mischievously along the way, he would execute military orders to kill people!

What Pei Shaokuan wanted right now was not to go to Dengzhou to die, so he didn't have time to agree.He figured out the reason why a hero does not take immediate losses. This Shi Dayong is not even afraid of Zhou Guozhang or Gao Gonggong, so how could he be afraid of him.If he really offends him, I'm afraid the surname Shi will really dare to chop himself off.

Anyway, he was going to die, and if he couldn't die, Eunuch Gao would not spare him, so why should he confront him and ask for trouble.

After politely sending the "God of Plague" away, Pei Shaokuan suddenly felt a clear vision, as if the world let me go freely, and he was indescribably refreshed.

However, when Shi Dayong was about to leave, he was still worried, and specially left two personal soldiers to go with the Beijing camp, so as to know the movements of the Beijing camp at any time.After all, the imperial court allocated the thousand capital battalion to him to command, and if something happened to the Beijing battalion, he would not be able to explain it to the imperial court.

How do you know, it's really unlucky for people to drink cold water and stuff their teeth. When Shi Dayong led the Jinzhou Army to the east, and when they arrived at Yanshan County, Hebei, the two soldiers who stayed in the Beijing camp quickly came to report that the Beijing camp was under attack. Qiushui Town was besieged by thieves and robbers!

The so-called "thief horse robber" refers to Mahu in Hebei.

In order to ensure the supply of horses for the Ming army, the imperial court has forced farmers in Hebei and other places to be horse breeders since the founding of the country.The burden of corvee for horse households is extremely heavy, and they have to pay a high price to ensure that the horses are kept well. This not only delays agricultural production, but also compensates for losses when the horses they raise die or the stallions do not breed enough. The poor farmers have to "sell their land" , Vend men and women, as many as possible, the suffering is unspeakable."At that time, someone described it as "the most troubled grain in the south of the Yangtze River, and the most troubled horse in Hebei".During the Zhengde period, Mahu in Hebei was overwhelmed, and the Liuliu and Liuqi uprisings broke out, which spread to Hebei and Shandong provinces.

The uprising of Liu Liu and Liu Qi forced the imperial court to revise its policy towards Mahu. Only in this way did the situation in Mahu, Hebei, improve slightly.But in the Wanli period, due to the frequent wars in Liaodong, the Ming army and horses lost too much. When the emperor ascended the throne today, because the Donglu conquered the tribes in the south of the desert, it was impossible for the Ming to even buy horses from Mongolia. .

As a last resort, the imperial court had to order Hebei to continue to supply military horses, and to treat Mahu who could not provide military horses roughly.It is not uncommon for the government to force the people to rebel. A small number of horse households have gathered in the mountains and forests to protect themselves. The local government called them "thieves".

After Kong Youde rebelled in Wuqiao, the territory of Hebei was persecuted even more. Under the further actions of the rebels, a small group of thieves and bandits went from a small group to tens of hundreds of people to plunder across the county. If the officers and soldiers were few in number, they would not dare to talk about suppression.

But ordinary thieves don't meet the officers and soldiers, let alone attack the officers and soldiers boldly. This time they surrounded the Beijing camp in Qiushui Town was really accidental.

All the way was honest, Jingying, which was slowly heading east, entered Qiushui Town, and happened to encounter a group of thieves and robbers fleeing from Qing County. There were not many people, only more than 100 people.

The two sides met on a narrow road outside Qiushui Town, and both were on the main road.When the thieves saw the Jingying that suddenly appeared, they thought that the government had sent them to encircle them, so in a panic, in order to protect themselves, they even rushed towards the Jingying, trying to kill a bloody road on the road and escape to the south. .

The reason why he didn't run back but continued to run south was because the leader of the thieves and bandits heard that the militiamen in the northwest were fighting against the government army in Henan, so he wanted to join the militia.Moreover, after the Dongjiang Liao army rebelled, there were more and more officers and troops in Hebei, and it was really unsafe to stay here any longer.

But I didn't know that these Beijing soldiers were like paper. Before they got close, the other party dispersed and fled in all directions.The official looked like he had seen a ghost, and fled into the town after flattering his horse. [

On the road, weapons, luggage, food, and flags of the officers and soldiers were scattered everywhere.

The persimmons were soft enough to pick up. Seeing these officers and soldiers being so useful, the leader of the thieves and bandits became very upset. He thought that it would be better to get rid of these officers and soldiers, and grab their equipment and go south to donate to the militia. .

Just do what you say, and the thieves and thieves no longer fled south, but returned to their horses and rushed towards Qiushui Town.

Pei Shaokuan, who fled into the town, suddenly saw the thieves turning around and rushing towards the town. He knew it was not good, so he instinctively wanted to run again.But one of his subordinates, Mr. Qian, stopped him, saying that the town is not big, which is not conducive to cavalry. If he organizes people to resist on the spot, thieves and robbers will not be able to rush in.If they run away like this, most of the brothers will die. You must know that no matter how fast this man runs, he cannot run as fast as a four-legged horse.

Pei Shaokuan thought so too, and if he left all his subordinates on this body and fled back, the higher-ups would definitely not spare him.It would be better to listen to the persuasion of President Qian, organize soldiers to resist on the spot, and send others to ask for help.As long as you persist until the reinforcements arrive, the thieves will have to retreat if they don't retreat.

At this time, there were four to five hundred soldiers from the Beijing camp who had fled into the town. After the initial panic, they were all aware of their situation.At the moment, under the command of Pei Shaokuan and several officers, the soldiers of the Beijing camp began to occupy the commanding heights of the town, and set up horses and other objects on the way into the town to resist on the spot with firecrackers.

The thieves did not expect that the officers and soldiers who had fled all over the mountains just now had the courage to fight back. After charging twice and losing more than a dozen lives, the leader of the thieves stopped the attack and sent people to shout to the town, asking the officers and soldiers to surrender and put their weapons away. Hand them over, and they let them go.

The soldiers of the Beijing camp are not stupid. If they surrendered at this meeting, it would be tantamount to sticking out their heads for the opponent to chop off.

Seeing that the thieves couldn't rush in, he couldn't help but become more courageous, and fired his guns from a distance to show that he would never surrender.

The officers and soldiers did not surrender, and the thieves had no idea. It was already dark at this time, and Qiushui Town was more than [-] miles away from the nearest Huanghua County, and there were no officers and soldiers stationed in Huanghua City, so the thieves were not worried that they would be killed. The officers and soldiers made dumplings.

Confused, he simply divided his subordinates into two, one went through the woods to the east of the town to block the way out of the east of the town, and the other stayed here to monitor the officers and soldiers.Let's see who can survive who.

Seeing the thieves surrounded themselves, and it was getting dark again, everyone in the Beijing camp was frightened and panicked, lest the thieves would sneak in in the dark.Fortunately, after waiting for a while, there was no movement from the thieves and robbers, so they settled down a little bit.

They calmed down, but the people in the town were terrified. There were thieves and officers and soldiers. Just now they were cracking and firing guns, killing and screaming, which scared the people like something.Before they could react, the officers and soldiers smashed the doors from house to house, rushed in and dragged out the furniture and threw them on the street without any explanation. No one was hurt, and no rape or adultery happened. I think these officers and soldiers are eager to save their lives, and they don't have the intention to do anything wrong.

After hearing the two personal soldiers tell the story, Shi Dayong smiled. He knew that Pei Shaokuan's [-] soldiers in the Beijing camp were trash, but he didn't expect that the [-] soldiers were actually called more than [-] soldiers. The bandits surrounded him.

What the hell is this!

Jiang Wanli asked: "General, do you want to go back and save them?"

Before Shi Dayong could speak, Li Dashan yelled: "Help me, they can do it themselves, they can't walk, they can't beat them, why bother to save them, they are the ones who are going to die or live, as I said, This bunch of trash from the Beijing camp is all dead, so you can rest easy."

Jiang Wanli retorted: "You can't say that, don't forget, the Holy Majesty assigned them to our general to command, if something happens, how will the general explain to the Holy Majesty?"

Li Dashan was taken aback, and grinned: "Then what should we do? Do we really want to go back and save them?"

The generals didn't know whether Shi Dayong would save him or not, they all looked at him.Shi Dayong thought for a while, then raised his hand towards Cao Bianjiao who was not far away, and ordered: "Xiao Cao, lead the wolf rider back with me."

Hearing the order, Li Dashan was a little dissatisfied and said, "Why, are we really going to save those trash?"

Immediately, Shi Dayong grinned: "Who said that I was going to save people, I was going to grab things!"
