Daming wolf ride

Mao wants to drop gold? !All the generals in the tent opened their mouths wide open, and everyone was so frightened that no one dared to speak. Look at me, I look at you, they were all scared by Mao Chenglu.

After a while, Kong Youde coughed lightly, breaking the silence. He shook his head and said, "Many officers and soldiers in the army have a sworn feud with the Eastern captives. Even if we are willing to surrender, I am afraid that the soldiers will not follow."

"Back then we followed Mao Shuai and fought many battles with the Jurchen soldiers, killing many of them. Both sides were feuds. The Jurchen Tartars wished that we were all dead. How could they accept us? Besides, although we He betrayed the imperial court, but he is always a good man, so it is impossible to vote for a barbarian, if he does, he will be stigmatized forever in the future." Geng Zhongming also did not want to surrender gold, he is still somewhat of a son of the Han family bloody.

But Mao Chenglu asked back: "Wouldn't what we did not last forever?"

Geng Zhong made it clear. [

Geng Zhongyi sneered, got up and shouted at Mao Chenglu impolitely: "Mao Da, you have always been close to Donglu. When the commander was there, the Tartars sent envoys to North Korea. The commander told them to intercept them, but you let them go in violation of the order." , so that the commander-in-chief was dissatisfied with you, saying that you were slaves. Now you want us to surrender to Donglu, how dare you say that you and Donglu had no secret relationship back then? The tents are all your own brothers. Mao, you might as well speak clearly, you Is it related to Donglu, just waiting for our brothers to cross the sea and invest in gold when we have nowhere to go?"

"Whether I have an affair with Donglu is my business, but right now it is everyone's business. It is for everyone's benefit to vote for Donglu. Can't we just wait here to die? Tell me, if we don't vote for Donglu, where can we find someone?" A way to survive?" Geng Zhongyi called him "Mao Da" face to face, and revealed many years of past events, Mao Chenglu blushed with anger.

"There is no way out, the worst is to fight with the army!" Geng Zhongyi is a man who is not afraid of death. With a real knife on his neck, he will not frown. The day when Xiaoguanzhuang fought with the Jinzhou army, he was not afraid to stand up in danger. Stay on the ground, or I'm afraid that there will be fewer people in the account.

"It's better to die than to live. You, Geng Zhongyi, want to die, and no one is stopping you, but you can't let us all follow you to die!" Mao Chenglu didn't want to entangle Geng Zhongyi, and turned to look at Li Jiuzheng, "Commander, the matter has come Today, surrendering to the Eastern Captives is also a way of retreat. Right now we have only a way. As long as there is a way to go, most of the brothers will go. I can’t guarantee others, but my soldiers are absolutely willing to follow the generals. Handsome for gold!"

"This"

Li Jiuzheng hesitated, raising the flag to rebel and selling himself as a traitor were two different things, even though he was fond of gambling all his life, he didn't dare to gamble casually on this matter.What Geng Zhongming said was unreasonable. Dongjiang Town fought the Jurchens to the death in the first year of Tianqi. After so many years, both sides hated each other to the core, how could they be together.Besides, most of the brothers in the army are family members who were killed by the Jurchen Tartars. This will take them to join the bloody Tartars. Will they be willing?With Mao Chenglu's army alone, he really doesn't have much confidence.Besides, Hong Tai can trust her to join Jurchen so rashly?If the surrender fails and the Eight Banners soldiers slaughter them all, then where will the grievances be complained?

"Marshal, you should continue to stop, and you will suffer instead!"

Mao Chenglu saw Li Jiuzheng's hesitation in his eyes, and he went further, "The morale of the army has long been unstable. If you don't leave before the Ming army has the courage to attack, you can't leave even if you want to!" He said again with deep meaning, "If you say something against your will, I can surrender. With the soldiers under my command, the imperial court will always give me a way to survive, but the commander and deputy commander may not have a way to survive. Gao Qiqian said it right Clearly, the imperial court now hates you two to the bone!"

"Even if we want to surrender to the Eastern captives, we must be able to go to sea!" Li Jiucheng was moved. If he was not afraid of death, he would not have instigated Kong Youde to riot in Wuqiao that day.If those double-minded generals really believed in Gao Qiqian's words and regarded themselves and Kong Youde as stepping stones for their surrender, they would be wronged.

I would rather let the world down, than let the world down on me!

Whether it's the Eastern Captive, the Northern Captive, or the Ming Dynasty, as long as you give them a way to survive, you will be a mother with milk!

But tens of thousands of people are not just a few people, but hundreds of people. Just find a boat to go to sea anywhere. There must be a port and a navy to support it. Otherwise, tens of thousands of people will commit suicide and feed the fish and shrimp.

"Ruitu, what do you say?" Li Jiuzheng wanted to hear Kong Youde's opinion.

Kong Youde lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "Whether to surrender or not is another matter, but no matter whether we vote or not, we must win Dengzhou. With Dengzhou in hand, we can be appeased when we enter, and we can protect ourselves and go to sea when we retreat. .”

"Ruitu means to win Dengzhou, don't rush to leave, let's see and talk later?" Kong Youde's words gave Li Jiuzheng the backbone.

Kong Youde was noncommittal, "Now that the Ming army is powerful, we have lost our grounds. Advancement and retreat are already under the control of others."

"Qian Dagang's navy is still there, so it's not likely that he will surrender Shi Dayong. If you want me to say, let's send someone to contact him immediately. When the army arrives in Dengzhou, he will fire artillery into the city from the sea to see if he is Shi Dayong." It's not that superpowers can stop us!" Li Yingyuan has a ruthless temper.

After hearing this, Li Zhongfu immediately echoed: "Yes, yes, the Jinzhou army came from outside the pass for thousands of miles. There must not be many soldiers. Shi Dayong's men are only a few thousand. What about us? But there are several Thousands of people! The rabbit bites people when it is in a hurry. I don't believe that the Jinzhou Army is really strong. Let's all work together to make more casualties, and consume him! As long as Dengzhou is occupied again, we will You still have the capital to negotiate with the imperial court, if you can’t keep it, you can invest in gold at worst!” After speaking, he glanced at Mao Chenglu, who nodded gratefully at him.

Kong Youde and Li Jiuzheng looked at each other, but didn't say anything. Others in the tent yelled for a while. Finally, Li Jiuzheng stood up and shouted: "Stop arguing, it's settled, let's fight Dengzhou!" [

"If you want to leave, you have to hurry up, it's best to leave tonight." Kong Youde added.

"Okay, let's get out of this damn place tonight, but someone has to stay behind"

Li Jiuzheng was about to discuss with Kong Youde on who to stay, when outside the tent, a fast horse came straight up, the rider rolled off the horse, and the mane on the horse's body was already glued into strands of sweat.With a hoarse "report!" the rider staggered into the big tent and fell through the door, "Marshal, five thousand soldiers and horses from Shandong have come from Pingdu!" "Hey!"

Li Jiuzheng shook his head disdainfully, and said with a sneer, "Isn't it Shandong soldiers? 5000 people count as a ball! Not to mention that we have tens of thousands of people now. How many Shandong soldiers did we kill when we had 800 people? How many Shandong soldiers did we kill? Cutting vegetables, don’t say five thousand, it’s fifty thousand, what can he do to us? I think Zhu Dadian saw that we lost Dengzhou and wanted to pick up persimmons!” “That’s right!” Kong Youde also said, “None of the town soldiers Our opponents, the Shandong soldiers, are not worth mentioning. The only thing to worry about is" Speaking of this, he sullenly pointed in the direction of Xiaoguanzhuang: "We can't win Laizhou, and we lost Dengzhou. But I'm ready to make a move, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to withdraw this time." "Deputy Commander," Geng Zhongming reminded, "Gao Qiqian's Zu Dabi and Wu Sangui have Liaodong cavalry in their hands, and those who are left behind will be able to be effective, otherwise these When the Liaodong cavalry caught up, we didn’t withdraw, but were defeated.” Zu Dabi was Zu Dashou’s younger brother, who would never die in a fight, so he was nicknamed “Zu Er Crazy”.Wu Sangui is Zu Dashou's nephew, and the Guan Ning army in their hands has been taught by Xiong Tingbi, Sun Chengzong, and Yuan Chonghuan successively. Mao Wenlong's old troops are still very afraid.

"The main force of Guanning's cavalry is no longer in Dalinghe. The cavalry under Zu Dabi's command is just the servants put together by his ancestral family. It is not the Guanning cavalry of the past. What is there to be afraid of? Nest there like a tortoise, don’t be afraid of them, the only thing to worry about is Shi Dayong’s Jinzhou Army. We don’t need to keep our old brothers when the descendants are cut off, choose [-] new troops to stay, and all the main forces will return to Dengzhou.” Kong Youde said At this point, he smiled confidently, "I assert that high risers would not dare to take a single step. How dare a eunuch without a bird in his crotch have such guts!"

Hearing Kong Youde speak so confidently, everyone immediately regained their confidence, gearing up to go back to Dengzhou.

After discussing with Li Jiuzheng for a while, Kong Youde found Mao Chenglu, pulled him to a place, and asked him in a low voice, "Is there a connection with Jinwu over there?"

Mao Chenglu glanced around, didn't hide anything, nodded and said: "When I was in Dengzhou, I wrote a letter to me after Ning Wan, but at that time our army was powerful, so I ignored it, but now I can only go there depend on."

"I know that I am Ning Wan. I am the most trusted Hanchen under Mrs. Hong. Well, if he is the intermediary to preside over things, if things cannot be done, I can only go to the sea to make a mess." Kong Youde sighed , a little lonely hero feeling.

However, Mao Chenglu said disapprovingly: "At present, the Jin Kingdom has strong soldiers and horses, and the country is full of talents. On the other hand, in the Ming Dynasty, there were internal and external troubles, the court was caught in party struggles, the people were struggling to survive, and the soldiers and horses in each town were even worse. The strength was too poor. On the day when we enter the Central Plains, we will also be servants of the dragon."

"I don't know these things yet, let's talk about winning Dengzhou now." Kong Youde didn't want to reveal his hole cards to Mao Chenglu in the matter of investing in gold, he still wanted to win Dengzhou and bargain with the court, otherwise he would Find one or two small islands in the sea, and sit on the ground as king.After all, the matter of casting the Eastern captives as traitors had too much influence, and the rebellion in the army was also great. One careless move would have sparked a mutiny.

It was Kong Youdenai's plan to take a step and look at one step. He said these words to Mao Chenglu just to give himself peace of mind.At least, he can know that in the future, the Dajin Kingdom to the east of the sea can give him a place.
