Chapter 77: Admiral

When dealing with the problem of rogue bandits in Shaanxi, the imperial court adopted a policy of supplementing suppression with appeasement as the main component, and using both suppression and appeasement. 4∴8065 This policy seems to be good, and it can show the court's generosity and love for the people. However,

During the implementation process, the rebels took advantage of the loopholes. For example, many rebels saw that the situation was over, so they resorted to a false surrender strategy. They surrendered first and agreed to recruit troops. However, as soon as the crisis was over, they immediately changed their faces and decided to continue.

The rebellion continues. As a result, the situation in Shaanxi becomes even more chaotic.

The person in charge of the overall suppression was Yang He, the governor of the three sides. He was good to the people, but because of his soft character and being too kind, the bandits became more and more difficult to deal with. The imperial court ordered him several times to speed up the pace and put down the rebels. As a result,

No results were seen. However, his subordinates, Governor Hong Chengchou of Yansui, did not act in accordance with his "suppression policy" and went all out to suppress, not only suppress, but also kill and surrender. Those rogue bandits he brought did not dare to go to Hong Chengchou's place.

Run on the ground under your jurisdiction. Everyone knows that pretending to surrender will not work in front of this adult.

As a result, officials in the imperial court, led by Yang Yishan, began to impeach Yang He. Who told you that Yang He was recommended by Fang Congzhe? The new chief minister Zhou Daodeng was an honest man, but this honest man was really a little bit awkward when doing things.

*** said, he kicked the ball directly to the Queen Mother and let Zhang Yan make her own decision. The suppression of bandits often failed to achieve results. Of course, Queen Mother Zhang was very dissatisfied with Yang He and wanted to replace her. If this matter was

Zhou Daodeng helped make a decision, and that was it, but no one wanted to offend an honest person. Empress Dowager Zhang regarded Yang Yishan and the others as members of the Yue Party, and did not want to be led by them. Go ahead, let’s go ahead and do this.

The matter ended up being left unsolved and left in the center.

Yang He continued to be his governor of the three sides and was busy every day, but the rebels were getting stronger and stronger. Mr. Yang also wanted to make contributions to the court, but the rebels always refused to give him face and rebelled in the morning and evening.

It made him angry too.

On this day, Mr. Yang decided to dispatch troops and horses to teach the rebels who had embarrassed him, so as to report a great victory to the court and keep his position. After all, it was not a big deal for him to be involved every day.

As the governor of the three sides, mobilizing troops and horses is a trivial matter, but it is also customary for the three armies to move ahead without using food and grass. Generally speaking, it is common for local generals to drink the blood of their soldiers and eat up their quota, but when it comes to actual fighting, they must also pay enough, otherwise

Who sacrifices his life for you?

The commander-in-chief of Pingliang Mansion, Wang Guo, might be crazy about money. At this time, he actually dared to deduct the military salary allocated. Just as Governor Yang's letter was sent to Pingliang, he asked the kingdom to mobilize troops and horses to suppress the bandits. Mr. Governor

The kingdom dared to disobey the military order, so it immediately mobilized its troops and prepared for the expedition.

As a separate garrison general, the kingdom has a full complement of five thousand soldiers. In the past, it was all short of the quota, with less than two thousand men under its command. Now that the war is going on, the superiors have tightened their checks, and they have recruited a lot of people, and they can barely make up the number.

Soldiers and horses lined up at the military field. Wang Guo first made an impassioned speech and then led his troops to come forward. But after he finished his long speech, a man stood up. This man was just a small commander, but

He is tall and looks like he stands out from the crowd.

"General Wang, it is my duty to go out to suppress the bandits, and I am bound to do so. However, the general owes us the military salary, and you have to give me an explanation today. I am a soldier who works hard, and I have to have a full stomach before I can fight, right?"

As soon as this man spoke, the other soldiers immediately became uproar, and many of them started to quarrel, "That's right, General, it's not impossible for us to follow you to fight, but the military pay you owe must be paid. Brothers must serve as soldiers to eat.

It's natural and reasonable, but why don't you pay the troops?"

The soldiers started making a fuss, and the kingdom immediately became angry. However, there were too many people making noises, and we couldn't just kill them all. If we wanted to kill people, the most we could do was kill the leader. The first person to speak was the ignorant one.

General Wang Guo glared at him fiercely and said: "Brothers, it is only natural for soldiers to eat food, and I will not deny it. However, the money from the imperial court was not delivered for a while, otherwise, after this battle is over,

, I will add it to you again, what do you think?"

"Don't do this, people will die in a war. After the war, I don't know how many brothers here will be left. If you don't give it now, why don't you wait until the brothers are dead and then burn it to us? I tell you ugly words, brothers.

We have already discussed it. If you don't pay the troops and want us to go out to fight, there is no way!" the general shouted loudly.

Seeing that the general was playing against him again, the kingdom was very angry. It expected that the originally honest soldier must have been instigated by this guy, so he simply found a way to kill this guy first, and then used his head on his neck to frighten the others.

The officers and soldiers made up their minds, a smile appeared on Wang Guo's face, and said: "It is true that the military pay from the imperial court has not been delivered yet. Otherwise, I will first pay some money out of my own pocket and advance some to all brothers. When the military pay is delivered, we will start again.

Distributed.”

"That's okay!"...Seeing the kingdom's compromise, the soldiers shouted with satisfaction.

This was also an expedient measure for the kingdom. He had been a general for so many years, and he knew that it would be a bit difficult to command the soldiers in battle if he did not give up. Although he was reluctant to give up money, he had to spend some money. He immediately ordered his trusted soldiers

Go and collect military pay.

In fact, he didn't plan to give the soldiers much, just two taels of silver per person, which was pretty good. The kingdom knew these hard-working soldiers quite well, and a little money would be fine. And he also knew that as long as there was money, the soldiers'

The hearts will not be so united. Now if I take the lead, no one will dare to say no more, and I will be more honest.

When the money was brought in, Wang Guo pointed at the general manager and said loudly: "Come here first!" The general manager was so careless that when he saw Wang Guo pointing at him, he didn't take it seriously and walked straight forward. When they arrived at the dianjiang platform, Wang Guo suddenly

An order was given, "Get him for me!"

The confidant soldiers under their hands immediately took action and rushed towards the boss. But they really didn't expect that the commander was not only tall and powerful, but also very flexible. He ducked to the side and hid. Now he also

Seeing that the kingdom wanted to take his own life to scare the monkeys, it would be better for others to die than to die himself, so he casually drew out his sword, raised the sword with his hand, and chopped down a soldier who was closest to him, followed by a lunge

, rushing towards the kingdom.

The two were not far apart. Wang Guo originally thought that it was always a sure thing to capture a small soldier. Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed and the general hacked the soldier to death and rushed towards him. He quickly drew his sword and

Shouting loudly, "Stop him!"

Two soldiers immediately stopped him. General Manager calmly waved the steel knife in his hand left and right. The two soldiers were knocked to the ground on the spot. Then, General Manager raised the steel knife high and pointed it at Wang Guo's head.

Cut it hard.

The kingdom was shocked and screamed: "How dare you..." The answer was quickly revealed, and it was a single answer. With a "plop", the kingdom fell to the sky and fell to the ground.

After killing Guo Guo, General Manager swung the steel knife in his hand and said loudly: "The kingdom will not pay the army, but it still wants to kill me. You can see clearly, and I will kill him without any choice! Brother, I will kill him now."

Let's go. Brothers, if you still care about our past friendship, please don't stop me! I think the power of the imperial court has been exhausted, and I plan to rebel today. Anyone who looks up to my brother, please follow me! Brother, I promise,

Even if there is only one bite to eat, everyone should share it together!"

After saying that, he strode towards the group of officers and soldiers. Those soldiers had already been shocked by his momentum. Anyone who dared to stop him would get out of the way wherever he passed.

"Uncle, wait for me, I'll go with you!" At this moment, a man shouted loudly. This man's surname was Li and his name was Li Guo.

In this way, the life of the general is self-evident. His name is Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng killed the generals in the kingdom and decided to rebel. Li Guo was the first to respond. He was a general, and of course there were soldiers following him. Those

Seeing Li Zicheng's generosity and arrogance, the soldiers were moved and shouted loudly one by one, "Brother Li, the brothers are willing to rebel with you!"

How could Jin Lin be a thing in the pond! Li Zicheng left the military camp, took his nephew Li Guo, and the hundred soldiers to join the rebel team. With his current strength and reputation, he naturally did not dare to declare himself king.

He defected to a person, the king of Chuang Gao Yingxiang. With his own bravery, Li Zicheng quickly found a place under Gao Yingxiang's account and became a famous Chuang general under Gao Yingxiang!

July of the second year of Chongjing.

With the help of Zheng Zhilong, Yue Su used heavy ships and powerful artillery to eliminate almost all pirates on the coast of Fujian.

The next goal is to recover Penghu and Taiwan. Compared with Taiwan, Penghu is relatively easy to recover. It's just a mere encounter with only some Dutch armed forces on it, so it doesn't matter.

After some deliberation, Yue Su decided to send five giant warships, a hundred large and small warships, and five thousand troops to recover the Penghu Islands.

Naturally, everyone is willing to take credit for such achievements. Kong was virtuous and Mo was insightful. Generals such as Zheng Zhilong stepped forward one after another and expressed their willingness to lead their troops to regain Penghu.

Faced with the enthusiasm of his generals, Yue Su was very happy. However, Zheng Zhilong had already made great contributions in exterminating pirates. The credit for recovering Penghu had to go to his own men. So Yue Su took this opportunity.

The credit was given to Mo Youjian, and he was asked to lead the fleet to capture Penghu. However, Lord Yue was also afraid of affecting the enthusiasm of other generals, so he told them that there are bigger battles to be fought in Taiwan, so you should rest well.

, wait until Penghu is captured and you can go all out and do your best!
