By this time, he became increasingly eager to get reinforcements - he sent people to all places where reinforcements could be requested to mobilize reinforcements, and at the same time called on Dongjiang Huanglong's subordinates to come to Laizhou for reinforcements. He also asked Yu Dacheng to send reinforcements quickly, and he estimated that Yu Dacheng would not refuse. Although Yu Dacheng initially held a "pacifying" attitude, the first priority right now is to defend Laizhou and block the rebels' route, so as not to poison the whole of Shandong - as long as Yu Dacheng understands this, he will not refuse his request. of.
Yu Dacheng was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pot - news had come from his study room in Beijing that the court was very unfavorable to him, and he was likely to be dismissed from his post for questioning. Recently, he received a letter from the court asking him to "effectively find out" the whereabouts of Sun Yuanhua and others.
After the fall of Dengzhou, Yu Dacheng lost all news about Sun Yuanhua. He had been chanting sutras and suddenly received a request for help from Sun Yuanhua. Knowing that Sun Yuanhua was not only safe but also staying in Laizhou, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief - things would be much easier to handle now that Sun Yuanhua was located.
In his letter, Sun Yuanhua briefly talked about how he escaped from danger, which inevitably included some "artistic processing" elements - of course he couldn't say that he was rescued - Lu Wenyuan specifically reminded him that he must never admit that he There was such a thing as being captured. Sun Yuanhua himself also understood that this was a critical joint. Fortunately, people have come out now, no matter what you say.
As for Song Guanglan of Dengzhou Dao, Wang Zheng of Supervisory Army, and Zhang Tao of Fubiao who were captured at the same time, Sun Yuanhua followed the advice of Lu Yang and others and said that they had broken out separately when the city was broken and did not know whether to live or die.
Because Sun Yuanhua has been rescued, it is unknown whether Song Guanglan, Wang Zheng, Zhang Tao and others will be released by Kong Youde as they were in history. So it's better to say that we don't know for the time being - it would be simple if they were killed, but if Kong Youde still releases them: then according to the plan, the special reconnaissance team will intercept them as soon as possible and deal with them according to the situation at that time. Among these people, Wang Zheng saw with his own eyes that Sun Yuanhua committed suicide and was captured. Others have probably heard the news about Sun Yuanhua's capture, so they must keep it in their hands to prevent leaks. The status of these people is different from that of ordinary soldiers and civilians. Once it is revealed that Sun Yuanhua has been captured, it will be very difficult to clean them up again.
In addition to asking for help, the policy of suppression was also discussed. Yu Dacheng was surprised that Sun Yuanhua changed his attitude. From "appeasement" to "painful suppression" - you must know that when Kong Youde besieged Dengzhou, Sun Yuanhua specially sent him a letter, asking him to advise Xiong Mingyu on his behalf and try to appease Kong Youde's troops. For this reason, he also gave him a box of valuable gold and silver jewelry for the event.
Yu Dacheng had no prejudice against either pacification or suppression - he had no feelings for Kong Youde and others, and he would not kill them. For him, caressing is nothing more than a cheaper option. The imperial court is now in a difficult situation and needs to use troops everywhere. It is easy to say "suppression". Where do you get the soldiers and horses? Not to mention that the local government had to raise a large amount of food and salary.
However, Yu Dacheng decided not to care whether to suppress or to pacify - since Sun Yuanhua was not dead, he was the first to bear the brunt of how to deal with the rebels. It was up to him whether he wanted to suppress or pacify. Immediately, he invited the master to consider how to dispatch reinforcements and the more important matter - how to write a memorial to the court.
But Yu Dacheng's fate could no longer be changed. Not long after his memorial was sent out, on the 13th of the first lunar month, the rebels captured Huang County. Yu Dacheng was dismissed from his post and immediately arrested and punished. but. At this time, Sun Yuanhua had already established a firm foothold in Laizhou. His memorial has also been formally presented to the court.
Sun Yuanhua was very knowledgeable about being an official. After the city of Dengzhou was defeated, Kong Youde, Li Jiucheng and others tried to recruit him to join the gang and become the king. After the flag-raising rebellion and the subsequent "inspiration" from Lu Wenyuan and others, he realized that not only could "fu" not solve the rebellion, but it would actually create countless enemies for himself in the court - especially those from Shandong. If officials continue to insist on supporting the bureau, they will inevitably be attacked by their originally neutral attitude.
Therefore, in his letters to Xu Guangqi, Zhou Yanru, Xiong Mingyu and others, after briefly reporting his "breakout and escape", he changed his previous attitude towards future countermeasures. Proposed "painful suppression".
Not only must soldiers and horses from Zhili and other places be mobilized, but some elite troops must also be transferred back from Liaodong to participate in the battle.
Of course, this change of "painful suppression" is not only due to the consideration of safeguarding one's own political future. There was also the element of resentment that he had always trusted Kong Youde and other Dongjiang old people, but was exploited and betrayed by them.
Lu Wenyuan and others are always paying attention to the situation in Laizhou. Because radio equipment was limited and expensive, Lu Wenyuan quickly built a pigeon shed and established a pigeon communication system after arriving at Qimu Island. Sun Yuanhua's team brought a group of homing pigeons with them before accompanying Sun to Laizhou. Therefore, reports were delivered to Lu Wenyuan's desk every day.
"Old Sun is very clever, and his ability as an official is really good." Lu Wenyuan looked at the team's report, and combined with the intelligence from Leng Ningyun, he could clearly see the changes in the situation in Shandong.
"I started out as a mere civil servant and was recommended as a staff member. In ten years, I became the governor of Denglai. What can I do if I don't have any official skills?" Lu Yang sighed, "Old Sun is a capable person. We must give him enough time. , maybe the Manchu Qingzhen will be destroyed by his new army."
"What you say is too naive. The Ming court has no solution to the situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Unless there is a strong emperor - not Zhu Baba, at least a strong man like Yongle."
In fact, both Sun Chengzong and Xiong Tingbi had a chance, and even Yuan Chonghuan, who had mixed reputations in the Senate, could also "restore the Liao Dynasty". Based on the strength comparison between the Ming Dynasty and Hou Jin Dynasty, it is not too difficult for a minister with some ability to achieve this strategic goal.
"Their team members are too cheating - not to mention the pig-like team members who dig holes for you all day long. No matter how capable you are, without the protection of powerful emperors like Yongle and Zhu Baba, no one can do anything. ." Lu Wenyuan said, "You only need to look at the demotions of officials and generals in the Ming Dynasty. Before surrendering, all of them were stupid and afraid of death. After surrendering, all of them were brave and good at fighting..." He said, paying attention to the latest updates on the map. The situation evolves. Huang County was captured by the rebels yesterday. It is estimated that within a day or two, the surrounding areas of Huang County will be plunged into chaos - according to the parlance of the 21st century, a "humanitarian disaster" is occurring.
"Please come, Chief Zhu." Lu Wenyuan asked the secretary.
Zhu Mingxia basically only did one thing during these days: training troops.
In addition to the daily training and targeted project training of the northbound detachment, the auxiliary force of Qimujima Goyong was also organized and trained.
Qimu Island Xiangyong was expanded from Lu Wenyuan's Xiangyong team, supplemented by many local refugees and refugees sent by Zhang Daozhang of Yizhou. Since the Qimu Island Refugee Camp opened, there has been a flood of refugees. It was quite difficult to select suitable soldiers from a large group of gloomy-looking and skinny people. However, fortunately, the population base was large enough, and he still selected 800 people. Serves as local auxiliary force.
The refugees selected to join Qimujima Goyong were all young men between the ages of eighteen and twenty-two. According to the view of the French Army before World War I, men over the age of twenty were not good recruits. The best cannon fodder comes from the 18-20 stage. The result was that before 1914 was over, France had already lost a generation.
Zhu Mingxia believes that the French have a good idea. At least at a low technical level, young people do have advantages in serving as soldiers: young people are bloody, easily inspired, lack awareness of death, and dare to fight in wars.
The selected soldiers formed separate groups and received special nutrition. Young people have strong vitality, and good nutritional supplements and moderate physical exercise can quickly restore physical fitness.
The Ministry of Education gave him the designation "Temporary Shandong First Advance Column of the Public Security Army." It is organized according to the establishment of the security army, and all weapons and equipment are cold weapons.
Auxiliary troops are very necessary for the northward detachment - the number of the northward detachment is limited, and some troops have to be sent to Jeju Island. In the subsequent operations, troops will need to be divided into multiple locations to perform containment and defense tasks. The task cannot be completed without expanding the army on the spot.
Zhu Mingxia divided the auxiliary troops into two parts. The part with the best training performance was incorporated into the northward detachment and used as auxiliary troops. During the battle, they could be directly put into battle depending on the situation. The other part is used as a garrison for the Qimu Island base.
"How's it going? Is there any action taken?" Zhu Mingxia asked as soon as he came in - he also got the news that Huang County had been captured.
Lu Wenyuan nodded: "Yes, since Huang County has fallen, our containment team will be dispatched."
In the past ten days, due to the frequent activities of rebels in Huang County, in order to avoid direct armed conflicts, in addition to dispatching scouts, Qimu Island did not dispatch any large-scale on-foot containment teams.
After Huang County was captured, the rebels were bound to carry out large-scale burning, killing and looting inside and outside the city. Originally, the small villages in Huang County could not withstand such a large-scale army, and there would inevitably be a large number of refugees flowing towards the safety of Qimu Island. This is the time to dispatch the containment team.
Without taking care of them before, the refugees would have fled on foot during the icy first month. The elderly, weak, women and children would have had little chance of survival. In addition, large groups of refugees would have easily attracted attacks from rebels.
Although Lu Wenyuan said he decided to come out for shelter, he still had concerns in his heart: What if he encounters rebels? If the number of enemies is small, it won't be a big problem, just use superior firepower to disperse them. If a large group of enemies are cavalry, Zhu Mingxia's reception team may not be able to cover the escape of a large group of refugees while fighting the rebels. Refugees have the worst mobility and organization, and they can't be controlled at all if they get into chaos. Don't make a fuss about Liu Xuande's defeat at Changbanpo then.
