Originally Liu Yulie was planning to lead the civil and military officers out of the city to the Xinghe Army camp to meet Wang Kun, the chief eunuch of the Supervisory Army.
According to his rank and position, he shouldn't do this.
It's a pity that the situation is stronger than the people. Although he is the governor, he has been defeated repeatedly by the rebels and cowered in Laizhou City.
However, the soldiers and horses brought by Wang Kun defeated thousands of enemies in one battle, winning their first major victory since coming to quell the rebellion, and solved the siege of Laizhou.
The world has changed, and there is no point in talking about it. Only civil servants and military generals who can win battles have the right to speak!
However, just when Liu Yulie came to the city gate with dozens of civilian and military generals, the cannons roared outside the city, and the scouts reported that the rebels dispatched more than 30,000 troops to bombard the reinforcement camp outside the city!
The rebels are large in number and have sharp artillery fire. The reinforcements only have a few thousand troops and few cannons. The next situation is not optimistic!
Liu Yulie was scared. He was worried that the reinforcements would be defeated when he left the city, so he decided to wait and see.
Changing an order in the morning or evening is a taboo!
In addition, Liu Yulie behaved incompetently and irresponsibly after taking office, and the civilian and military generals headed by Xie Lian, Zhu Wannian, Wang Hong, Liu Guozhu, Yang Yufan, Deng Qi, Wu Anbang, Chen Hongfan, Liu Zeqing, Mou Wenshou, etc. looked down upon him from the bottom of their hearts.
Therefore, when Zhu Wannian strongly requested to go to the reinforcement camp outside the city to discuss the plan, the vast majority of civilians and military generals seconded the proposal!
With the support of the people, Liu Yulie had to compromise, so dozens of civilian and military generals, most of whom were servants, and thousands of elite Ming troops came out of the city.
Keep firing!
The battle is still going on. It seems like the rebels didn't get any advantage?
This shows that the reinforcements coming from Xuanda are powerful in combat!
Not only the civil servants and generals who participated in Deng Lai's counter-rebellion had this understanding, but the original Deng Lai criminal officials also thought so!
Sun Yuanhua, Zhang Tao, and Wang Yu asked to see the general and supervisors, and Mao Sui volunteered to fire artillery in person to fight back, and stated that he could knock out at least one of the rebel Hongyi cannons.
These three people are equivalent to the artillery experts of this era. Wang Xi is also a mechanical expert and a scientist as famous as Xu Guangqi.
The reason why they are allowed to participate in labor is to allow them to receive inspiration during labor and become better grounded.
How can they be allowed to control artillery to fight with the rebels?
Huang Yi knew that without anyone noticing, his side suddenly launched a cannon and opened fire, giving him a chance to kill an enemy Hongyi cannon.
However, it is very likely that we will encounter retaliation from the rebel artillery within a breath. It is not a big deal if our own artillery is destroyed, but it is a big loss if we kill three experts and scientists!
Therefore, Huang Yi ignored the self-recommendations of Zhang Tao, Sun Yuanhua, and Wang Yu at all, but affirmed their positive attitudes.
There are great benefits to getting the general’s approval!
The salary of Sun Yuanhua and the other three people has been improved. They enjoy the food and accommodation standards of regular soldiers. From now on, they no longer need to dig trenches or empty dung buckets. Their main job is to break down fixed gunpowder and push artillery carts.
Huang Yi has confidence in the Xinghe Army and is not worried about being hit by rebel artillery fire, nor is he worried about being invaded by the rebels.
His expectation is to confront the rebels for a month or two, launch a large-scale battle at the end of September, defeat the rebels, and drive the rebels back to Dengzhou.
It happened to be winter after the rebels retreated to Dengzhou. When all offshore ships were frozen and unable to sail, that was the day when the Xinghe Army completely wiped out the rebels!
These plans have always been in Huang Yi's mind, and he has not negotiated with anyone.
He is a time traveler, and only he knows when to take action to ensure that the benefits are maximized!
But you can’t tell other people about this!
I can’t even explain it clearly!
So he simply used his accumulated prestige to act arbitrarily.
The young generals under his command, such as Zhi, Yong, Shuang, Quan, Peng, Zhang Dong, and Bi Daxi, are able to obey orders and commands unconditionally.
But Wang Kun, the chief eunuch of the Supervisory Army, couldn't do it, at least not under circumstances he couldn't understand.
So when Wang Kun learned that Governor Liu Yulie, led by Governor Xie Lian, and general military officers Liu Guozhu, Yang Yufan, Deng Qi, Chen Hongfan and other civil and military generals met at the camp, he was so excited that he jumped three feet high.
They were all in the officialdom. Of course Wang Kun knew that the governor and governor came out of the city to meet them to express their submission.
It will be him, the chief supervisor, who has the final say in coming to quell the rebellion in the future!
Huang Yi was a maverick, and of course he would not meet with those civil servants and military generals. Wang Kun was used to it and did not force it.
In this case, Wang Kun actually didn't want to be with Huang Yi.
The reason is very simple. Huang Yi didn't take the eunuch who was supervising the army seriously. He simply talked to Wang Kun in a tone of ordering his subordinates. How could this be exposed in front of hundreds of officials?
So the arrogant Wang Kun, surrounded by dozens of royal guards, discussed the big plan with Liu Yulie, Xie Lian, Yang Yufan, Deng Qi, Chen Hongfan, etc.
The result was very good. Governor Liu Yulie was very sensible and gave Wang Kun the greatest respect and gave the Xinghe Army a lot of food and gunpowder.
But, there is a but!
The counter-rebellion cannot be protracted. Liu Yulie, Xie Lian and Wang Kun discussed whether they could give the rebels another thunderous blow to stop their illusions of seizing Laizhou.
Of course Wang Kun wanted to achieve success as soon as possible. He felt that the Xinghe Army was powerful and should be able to defeat the rebels.
I simply can’t figure out why Huang Yi is procrastinating in not fighting the decisive battle with the rebels!
Raising bandits to respect themselves? Exaggerate your own worth?
Wang Kun felt that Huang Yi wanted to get more benefits!
As long as the battle can be won, everything is easy to discuss, but Huang Yi didn't mention any specific requirements at all, which made it difficult for Wang Kun!
