Chapter 291: Where Are the Rebels Under Their Eyes?
In Jinan, where the governor's office of Shandong is located, after the Kong Youde Wuqiao uprising, the governor Yu Dacheng was burdened by Denglai Sun Yuanhua and delayed the opportunity to counter the rebellion, causing the rebels to block all the way to Dengzhou City. As a result, after the Dengzhou City was destroyed, he was ordered by the emperor.
He was escorted to Beijing, where he would end up either beheaded or exiled to the army. It would be unfair to say he was unjust, and it would not be unjust to say he was not.
Yu Dacheng worshiped Yuan Chonghuan all his life and was also the direct successor of Yuan Chonghuan. When Yuan Chonghuan was imprisoned, he went to see Liang Tingdong, Minister of War, and asked him: "Is it okay to destroy the Great Wall when troops are approaching the city?"

At that time, Yu Dacheng was just a doctor in the Ministry of War, but he was very courageous to question the official of the Ministry of War like this. As a superior officer, Liang Tingdong was naturally displeased with such a subordinate, and said angrily: "This is your intention.
"
After hearing these words "This is my best intention", Yu Dacheng, who dared to speak out, was speechless. He could no longer speak. He was afraid. This was the biggest weakness of his character. He had courage but could not last long.
After Kong Youde's rebellion, Yu Dacheng initially advocated annihilation and dispatched troops. However, after his troops were defeated by hundreds of Kong Youde's men, he lost the courage to continue fighting. Instead, he and Sun Yuanhua advocated recruiting and strictly prohibited fighting with the rebels.
, was ridiculed as the "White Lotus Governor", and finally became a prisoner together with Sun Yuanhua due to the fall of the city. "Novel" Read the latest chapter [
Zhu Dadian, who succeeded Yu Dacheng, was a Jinshi. He was also a very courageous person. When he was appointed to the military department in the second year of Tianqi, he once advised Wang Tiqian, the eunuch who was responsible for the ceremony, and Wei Zhongxian and others asked for the hereditary inheritance of the imperial robe.
.Later he served as the deputy envoy to Fujian Province, where he made great achievements in resisting the invasion of the Dutch "Hong Mao Fan", and was promoted to the right to participate in politics as Chief Secretary of Fujian Province.
To a certain extent, Zhu Dadian and Yu Dacheng have very similar experiences. Both of them were not afraid of powerful people, spoke out and experienced military affairs. The difference is that Zhu Dadian actually made military exploits and commanded.
Although he had fought in battles before, Yu Dacheng had always talked about war on paper and had never actually led an army.
Therefore, after Zhu Dadian arrived in Shandong, although the situation still did not improve, and Northeast Shandong and other places were mostly captured by the rebels' eastward advance, he generally protected the gateway to Shandong. He personally led the Lu troops and the Zhejiang troops guarded Dezhou.
, choked the rebels' throat to march deeper into Shandong, so that no matter how rampant the rebels were, they could only make achievements in the palm-sized area of Denglai.
You must know that Lu Di has never been rich. Although it is the hometown of saints, Shandong Province ranks at the bottom of the ranking of the two capitals and eighteen provinces in the country. Lu Di is located between the North and South Zhili. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Shandong has
Even if there is a turmoil in Lu, the troops of the North and South Zhili can quell it instantly. In the past, there have been several White Lotus Rebellions in Shandong, but they were all put out without leaving Shandong.
The post of chief military officer in Shandong was only established during the Tianqi period. Before that, the top generals in Shandong were only generals. In addition, the Denglai Prefecture in Shandong also had a separate governor, and there was plenty of room for coastal areas. The Ming Dynasty focused on land but not sea. This
The management of the coastal areas is not so heavy. Therefore, the Shandong governor is not a fat man, and there are not many soldiers in the province. However, if something goes wrong, the Shandong governor will be the first to be questioned.
Zhu Dadian did not want to come to Shandong, but the emperor asked him to come, so he had no choice but to come. When he knew that he was named by the emperor to be the governor of Shandong, Zhu Dadian knew it well and knew that Gao Qiqian was most likely responsible for the matter.
The purpose of his coming to Shandong was to cooperate with his high eunuch and make a good appearance in front of the emperor, both in the inner and outer courts.
After arriving in Shandong, Zhu Dadian was worthy of the position of governor. If he hadn't made timely adjustments, the Lu region might have fallen into the hands of the rebels because of Yu Dacheng's blind command.
After the town troops and horses arrived, Zhu Dadian also adjusted his deployment in a timely manner. He changed his previous defensive tactics and selected elite soldiers and generals to prepare for cooperating with the high-altitude troops and horses of the North Route, one to attack Laizhou and the other to attack Dengzhou.
Completely divide the rebels, so that they can no longer care about the head and tail, and then defeat them all in one go.
After the Spring Festival, Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian kept exchanging letters. They talked about how to suppress Kong Youde, but they didn't mention much about the Jinzhou army transferred from Jinzhou thousands of miles away and put under his command. But when he learned
After Liu Yulie, the Minister of War, was already on his way south and was in contact with the rebels in Laizhou to recruit them, Zhu Dadian suspended preparations for the attack and also waited and watched in Dezhou.
In fact, Zhu Dadian was opposed to negotiating peace with Kong Youde, but the Donglin Party in the imperial court was currently in power. As a member of Donglin, he could not hold any dissent and could only be consistent with the DPRK. Besides, to suppress the rebels, high-level officials were required.
Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult for him to attack alone with the thousands of soldiers and horses under his command.
Frankly speaking, Zhu Dadian did not want to make great achievements, but he knew that although he was the governor of Shandong and the highest official presiding over the chaos in Denglai, most of the capable soldiers were in the hands of Gao Qiqian. The imperial court not only gave
He also transferred soldiers and horses from Ji Town for the first time, and also gave Gao Eunuch the cavalry from the Liaodong ancestral family. In addition, he also transferred Sichuan soldiers from Henan to Gao Eunuch.
With Qi Qian, Gao Qi Qian already had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, plus the Shenji Battalion from the Beijing camp was coming. In terms of the strength of the soldiers and horses, no one could match the popularity of Eunuch Gao.
Looking at his Shandong side, apart from the two thousand Zhejiang soldiers and the four thousand Lu soldiers who were barely able to fight, what other troops did they have?
There are one or two thousand garrison men in each prefecture. If they are all transferred to Dezhou, they can gather more than 10,000 people. But if they are all transferred to Dezhou, there will be no need for other places? If there is another trouble, then Shandong will be completely
No longer guaranteed.
Zhu Dadian did not dare to take this risk, and it was impossible to take this risk. Who were Kong Youde's rebels? They were all desperadoes who licked blood from their swords. Those who followed Mao Wenlong had fought against Jiannu
.Compared with these desperadoes, the guardsmen in Lu's territory couldn't even move around. Instead of letting them fight with the rebels, it would be better to let them hide on the top of the city and wave the flag.
On the ninth day of March, Zhu Dadian suddenly received an urgent message from Changyi to the prefect Lu Xiong. The defender Peng Tai was ambushed by the rebels, and all the more than 600 defenders in Changyi were killed. Changyi City is now closed.
, but in addition to dozens of government officials, there were actually soldiers and soldiers in the city. The situation is extremely urgent, and I request the governor to send troops to rescue quickly, otherwise Changyi will not be protected!
Upon receiving this urgent report, Zhu Dadian was so shocked that he took a breath of cold air. Where did the rebels in Changyi come from?!
Changyi is less than forty miles away from Dezhou. It can be said that it is right under the nose of Dezhou. At this time, the rebels appeared. It is obvious that Zhu Dadian was shocked. He scratched his head and couldn't figure out why the rebels appeared.
