Chapter 70 Where is Lord Guard?

Chapter 069

Dengzhou City, the governor's office, in a utility room on the left side of the courtyard near the stables.

Yesterday, less than an hour ago, Governor Denglai was still aloof and aloof, but now he is a prisoner.

Sun Yuanhua was not beaten, but he felt extremely aggrieved.

Until this moment, he still hadn't figured out what happened.

"Dacheng, what happened today?"

As one of Sun Yuanhua's four most trusted aides, Xu Dacheng naturally couldn't just flatter others. Xu Dacheng's brain reacted quickly. In the short moment of contact and the conversation between the soldiers, he said to Sun Yuanhua

: "It's Cheng Shijie..."

"Cheng Shijie?"

Sun Yuanhua said doubtfully: "I remember that Cheng Shijie came to the governor's Yamen five days ago..."

"Those soldiers outside are all Ning Haijun!"

"Cheng Shijie, how dare he rebel?"

Sun Yuanhua was dressed in single clothes. When he ate in the Nuan Pavilion, it was as warm as spring and he didn't need to wear many clothes at all, but now he felt the cold.

Sun Yuanhua's eyes fell on Xu Dacheng.

Although Xu Dacheng was trampled on the face by a group of defeated soldiers and his body was covered with shoe marks, which made him look very embarrassed, he was wearing cotton clothes, and they were made of fine pine brocade cotton.

Watching Sun Yuanhua huddled together in the cold, his body was trembling.

Xu Dacheng slowly untied his clothes. If the rebels outside the door did not kill Sun Yuanhua immediately, they would most likely not kill him. As long as he survives this disaster, he can still enjoy the glory and wealth with Sun Yuanhua.

When Xu Dacheng put on his dirt-covered cotton coat, Sun Yuanhua's brain finally returned to normal thinking: "Dacheng, are those soldiers outside looking for Cheng Shijie?"

"yes!"

Xu Dacheng smiled bitterly and said: "But Cheng Shijie gave medicine to Master Futai for five days and then left...Cheng Shijie couldn't have had an accident, right?"

Sun Yuanhua frowned: "Are these Cheng Shijie's soldiers?"

"Yes, Ning Haijun!"

Xu Dacheng said: "Half a month ago, the students reviewed Ning Haijun's promotion document. Cheng Shijie promoted Shen Mingyu to the left general manager and Zhang Yu to the right general manager."

Sun Yuanhua was stunned: "Ning Haijun only has three thousand troops, including five hundred naval divisions. They... they captured Dengzhou City?"

"Looking at the situation, I'm afraid that's the case. That formation of gunfire was so intensive that I'm afraid the Dengzhou Army suffered heavy casualties!"

On October 25, the fourth year of Chongzhen, Dengzhou City was very dreamy.

As an important military town in the northeastern part of the Shandong Peninsula, a military fortress with nearly 20,000 troops stationed all year round actually had a dream-like mutiny.

This mutiny was different from other military mutinies that occurred in the Ming Dynasty, because this army did not lack military pay. When Ning Haijun launched the mutiny, Ning Haijun still had more than 42,300 taels of silver in his public account.

There are still more than 200,000 shi of grain in the granary.

Such a mutiny was very rare in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and it was also very strange. An army mutinied, and there was no shortage of food or military pay, just because their garrison leader was detained by the governor Sun Yuanhua.

So the mutiny took place.

Whether it is the three-foot-five-foot-tall, two-foot-thick masonry city wall, or the navy in the city, the guard soldiers and the Denglai New Army are all elites who have been trained for many years. However, the Ning Navy is a force that has been established for less than three years.

For months, the government has not spent a penny.

Of course, it would not be wrong to say that he did not spend a penny. Eight French cannons, sixty guns, two hundred pieces of armor, twenty thousand kilograms of iron, and a set of mechanical equipment were Sun Yuanhua's greatest support to Ning Haijun.

However, such a new army, with veterans trained for only three months and new recruits recruited for just over half a month, actually succeeded in taking over the important military town of Dengzhou City with 20,000 troops stationed there.

More importantly, in this mutiny, Ning Haijun actually captured Dengzhou City with zero casualties.

You must know that even if they are 20,000 pigs, let alone humans, if four thousand Ning navy soldiers are asked to catch them, each of them will catch at least four pigs on average. When catching four pigs, if you want to avoid zero casualties, it is obvious that

It can't be done.

What is incredible is that the Dengzhou Army killed 394 people in the battle, one of whom was killed by Chen Guodong at the gate of the city, and the rest were shot by thunderbolts on Gulou Street.

There were no casualties in this battle; they were either killed or captured.

Because the thunderbolt is so powerful, no matter where it hits, it will be a dead end.

Maybe some people ask, will you die if you hit your feet?

The thunderbolt bullet hit the sole of the foot, and also smashed the sole of the foot and the ankle. With the level of medical skills in this era, there was no way to treat him, and he would bleed to death.

As for the number of prisoners, there were many.

None of the Dengzhou Guards including Commander Jin Yousheng and the commander Huang Zuxin escaped, were all captured. A total of 6,871 Dengzhou Guards were captured. This is all the soldiers of the Dengzhou Guards in Dengzhou City.

At the cost of zero casualties, everything was blocked in the barracks.

The five camps of the Dengzhou Guard were fired with thunderbolts and immediately surrendered.

More than 6,500 members of Denglai's new army were blocked in the barracks, but they did not surrender directly. Shen Mingyu transferred 36 Thunderbolts and eight Folang machine artillery. Sun Yuanhua hired 27 people with high salaries.

Foreign mercenaries, nineteen military chaplains, and sixty-three Western craftsmen, after negotiation, they handed over weapons.

However, Ning Haijun must not harm them and must ensure their safety.

Ning Haijun sent a sentry commander and signed a surrender contract with the other party. The matter was finally resolved.

Eight hundred and twenty-seven men under Geng Zhongming's command joined the Fu army and surrendered to Ning Haijun.

Because Song Xiance had a friendship with Geng Zhongming, under Song Xiance's persuasion, Geng Zhongming proposed to surrender to Ning Haijun on the condition that "Master Futai must not be harmed."

Until dawn, Ning Haijun's Zhang Yu, Shen Mingyu, Chen Guodong, Liu Qingsong and others received intelligence from Li Zhixiang. After a low-intensity battle, he beheaded 32 people, captured 5,904 people, and captured

The Dengzhou Navy has three hundred and twenty-seven warships, large and small.

However, because their number was too small, Shen Shikui, the former deputy commander-in-chief of the Dongjiang Army, and his nephew Shen Zhixiang escaped from Penglai Water City with seven warships.

At this moment, the naval officers of Zhongning still seemed to be dreaming.

"We actually captured Dengzhou City!"

Zhang Yu actually doesn't care whether he rebels or not, he just lives a low life. If it weren't for Cheng Shijie, he would still be carrying bags on the pier and working as a coolie. It was Cheng Shijie who recruited him to join the servant army, and then became an officer of Ning Haijun.

Starting from a small flag, he was promoted to the current right commander of the Ning Navy.

Liu Qingsong smiled and said: "I have said before that Dengzhou City is a bunch of cowards and cowards. They can't even deal with Qin Wu, but Qin Wu is nothing in front of us?"

Liu Qingsong's logic is simple and crude.

In fact, this is not the case at all.

When Qin Wu attacked Zuo Qianhu Station, first he underestimated the enemy, and secondly Cheng Shijie made the mistake.

Using later-generation drones to spray gasoline, this scene was so shocking that it frightened the bandits under Qin Wu's command. If they really fought, the two Zuo Qianhu Divisions were no match for Qin Wu Division.

After all, Qin Wu's more than 1,500 key personnel are all elite, and their equipment is much better than that of Zuo Qianhu.

"If we take down Dengzhou City, we will be in big trouble!"

Zhou Yandong sighed.

"Zhou Xieshou, say something offensive!"

Song Xiance said: "Even if you do nothing, your name is still on Ning Haijun's roster. You are under the guard master. Do you think you can escape?"

Zhou Yandong stared at Song Xiance and said: "Do you know the consequences? There are obviously many ways to solve this matter. We can petition the governor and threaten him, no matter what, but now everything is irreversible, will you

Those who killed the big guys are rebelling, and rebelling is going to be decapitated, with heads rolling down and blood flowing like rivers!"

Shen Mingyu waved his hand and said: "Zhou Xieshou, I don't understand whether to rebel or not, but I know that people cannot be without conscience. Don't say you don't know what the guard does to the big guy. Mr. Song is right, we

We just want to beat the officers and soldiers to pain and fear, but they can’t get on the stage just because of those stinky fish and shrimps from the Dengzhou Guards!”

"you……"

Zhou Yandong looked at Song Xiance and said, "It's too late to say anything now. We can only bite the bullet and go on. What's the next step?"

Song Xiance said: "Of course it will be decided by the garrison master!"

"Have you found Lord Guard?"

"No!"

An officer of Ning Navy said angrily: "We have searched the entire governor's office, dungeons, and darkrooms, but we have found no news about the guard!"

Shen Ming asked: "Chen Guodong?"

"Watching what I did, I saw with my own eyes that the guard entered the governor's office and dozens of people rushed out of the governor's office to kill me!"

Chen Guodong said: "Arrest all the people in the governor's office and interrogate them separately. I don't believe it. A living person can disappear out of thin air!"

If Zhang Shigang heard this sentence, he would definitely answer: "Yes, really can!"

After he caught Cheng Shijie, because he wanted to find out the whereabouts of Zhang Huairen, he did not kill Cheng Shijie immediately. Instead, he followed what Cheng Shijie said that someone in Tiechang Town knew the whereabouts of Zhang Huairen.

So, while he sent people to Tiechang Town, he imprisoned Cheng Shijie.

The place where Cheng Shijie was imprisoned was the vault in this house. There was no gold or silver in it, but this room was made of bluestone. There was not even a window the size of a palm. Not to mention people, even rats could get in.

stay home.

This is a strong prison. There are three groups of guards outside the door, patrolling day and night. However, the problem is that when they bring food to Cheng Shijie again, Cheng Shijie has disappeared.

Cheng Shijie travels through time and space, and no one can watch him. He can return from any place in the late Ming Dynasty to the second floor of the family courtyard of Hansteel Group in later generations.

When no one was looking at Cheng Shijie, he was brewing his emotions, closed his eyes, and returned to the future world.

But this time, Cheng Shijie was forced to go back, and he didn't bring anything with him from the late Ming Dynasty.

Although Cheng Shijie returned to the later world, Zhang Shigang felt that the problem was serious.

At this time, Zhang Shigang did not think that Cheng Shijie could cause any trouble to the Zhang family in Laiyang. However, without Cheng Shijie, where would he go to find Zhang Huairen? This was his biggest headache.

It was not until four days later that the man who went to Tiechang Town to inquire about the information came back. The spy found Zhang Huairen's subordinate in Zhangjiazhuang. He learned from this subordinate that Cheng Shijie did not kill Zhang Huairen at that time, but used Zhang Huairen to force them to surrender.

However, they don't know where Zhang Huairen is now, but Cheng Shijie will definitely know.
