Chapter 82 Pain and happiness after the dust settles(1/3)
Chapter 82 The dust has settled, painful yet happy
Chapter 081
Facing Ning Haijun, who had artillery, muskets and crossbows, Kong Youde felt a long-lost sense of powerlessness. Of course, Kong Youde had the advantage of cavalry. If he wanted to escape, Ning Haijun would definitely not be able to catch up.
However, by this time he was already feeling tired.
Lou Shitou is dead, Li Shaoan is dead, and countless former brothers and sisters are dead...
Looking at the mutilated corpses of his former brothers, he couldn't help but feel sad.
He, along with Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi, were known as the third miner of the Dongjiang Army. Although the three of them were all miners, it was not Geng Zhongming or Shang Kexi who had the best personal relationship with him, but the dead Lou.
Shitou Lou Jian, including Li Shaoan whose head had been blown to pieces.
The difference between Lou Shitou and Lou Jian was that Li Shaoan, who was four years younger than Kong Youde and had saved Kong Youde's life, was short in stature at that time. Not only did the supervisors bully him, but his co-workers also bullied him. Once while eating, Kong Youde saw Li Shaoan.
I was crying. I found out after asking.
It turned out that several gangsters among the miners robbed the food belonging to Li Shaoan. Li Shaoan was so hungry that he couldn't bear it. He tried to take the food that belonged to him, but was beaten up by some of them. Kong Youde, who already felt that there was no hope in life, decided to fight.
For a moment, if you are beaten to death by the opponent, that would be a relief.
Living is really a kind of torture for Kong Youde.
At that time, Kong Youde went there with the intention of dying, and was beaten by a group of people from the other side. Kong Youde was beaten until he was unable to fight back. Lou Jian came after hearing the news, and the two of them were beaten again by the other side. The supervisor didn't care, so he just
Watching the excitement from the sidelines. Taking advantage of the other party's carelessness, Kong Youde bit the throat of a mining tyrant and he refused to let go.
Although the sticks fell like raindrops at that time, he bit the opponent's throat and drank the opponent's blood in large gulps. The opponent's group, including the supervisor, all looked at Kong Youde in fear. From then on, Kong Youde understood
There is a truth that people cannot stand firm if they are not ruthless.
He followed Mao Wenlong, and a total of 198 people attacked Dongjiang Town. From then on, the Dongjiang Army was established. Mao Wenlong led them to attack the Tunbao of the Jiannu, Gaizhou, Jinzhou, and Lushun, and fought fiercely with the Jiannu in Korea, and made many military exploits.
, how majestic that is, and how happy it is!
But in the blink of an eye, Mao Wenlong, who had been kind to countless Liao people, was killed. Mao Wenlong was slandered as a slave of Litong. The twelfth crime was that he had been in the town for eight years, watching and raising enemies, and lost an inch of land. This is even more
This is pure confusion of right and wrong, and now Lushun is still in the hands of the Dongjiang Army.
Zhang Pan, one of the three heroes of the Dongjiang Army, died fighting for the city of Lushun.
More importantly, now, he has also become a traitor to the imperial court.
Although the world is big, why should we call it home?
Kong Youde has no way out. With the combat power of the Ning Navy and their sharp firearms, he can use the cavalry to retreat, but the question is, where can he escape to?
"Stop fighting, stop fighting..."
Kong Youde yelled crazily at Ning Haijun: "Stop fighting, you won, we admit defeat...we admit defeat."
Kong Youde's heart had been shattered by the thunderbolt, and he could no longer think of continuing to fight.
As Kong Youde ordered to beg for surrender, the remaining rebels were a little confused.
They killed countless gentry, powerful people, landlords and wealthy households. Can the court judge them?
If you surrender now, what will happen if the imperial court settles the scores later?
However, in the hearts of these veterans of the Dongjiang Army, Kong Youde still had prestige. He ordered not to fight and to surrender to Ning Haijun. As expected, they waved the white flag to Ning Haijun and shouted: "Stop fighting, we surrender..."
Stop beating us and surrender!"
Cheng Shijie was very surprised when he heard the news.
Despite the great victory, Ning Haijun successfully eliminated the rebel artillery units through artillery battles, and also used thunderbolts and crossbows to kill more than 500 cavalry.
But the problem is that this is only equivalent to one-third of Kong Youde's troops. If Kong Youde wanted to run away, the two-legged man would not be able to catch up with the four-legged beast.
At most, Ning Haijun could annihilate more than 800 infantrymen.
Kong Youde shouted towards the Ning navy officers who had ceased fire: "I want to see you Cheng Shuai!"
In order to show his sincerity, Kong Youde began to unbutton his armor in front of the double army formation, taking off his cotton armor first, and then the clothes underneath. When Kong Youde even wanted to take off his pants.
Cheng Shijie said: "Forget it, let him come over!"
Regardless of Cheng Shijie's low strength, he doesn't have to worry. Now Cheng Shijie has an 80,000-volt and a 100,000-volt electric shock device in his hand. Let alone a person, even a cow can be easily shocked.
Soon Kong Youde, who was wearing thin clothes, came to Cheng Shijie under the escort of Ning Haijun soldiers.
Cheng Shijie didn't feel like he was fighting at all at this time, but rather like he was on a winter outing.
Originally, Cheng Shijie's desk was placed on the ground, but because it was too low, many soldiers could not see him as the commander. So, a temporary high platform was built, which was made of ten
The high platform built with several giant trees was like a rural open-air stage in later generations. Ning Haijun soldiers moved Cheng Shijie's long desk and chairs onto it.
Cheng Shijie sat on a grand master's chair, behind him were a dozen soldiers and generals such as Zhang Yu, Liu Qingsong, and Zhou Ning.
Youdao is full of energy during happy events. Cheng Shijie's appearance is not handsome. Before he lost weight, he looked like a Maitreya Buddha. Now he has lost weight and his face has darkened, and he looks somewhat heroic.
Looking at Cheng Shijie now, Kong Youde naturally thought of the past, when he worshiped Mao Chenglu as his adoptive father and changed his name to Mao Yongshi. At that time, he was deeply trusted by Mao Wenlong. With his extraordinary bravery and victory after victory, he and countless Dongjiang troops
The soldiers also believed that under the command of Mao Wenlong, they could successfully regain Liaodong and regain their homeland.
pity……
Kong Youde let out a long sigh and said: "Shuai Cheng, you are very powerful. You actually thought of using food to deal with artillery... No matter how expensive the food is, it won't kill your brothers. You are a good commander, and your brothers will follow you.
They are all very lucky."
Cheng Shijie said: "What do you want to say? I advise you not to play tricks. You can't win this battle."
"Yes, we can't win. I knew from the beginning that we couldn't win. There's not even half a hope of victory, but... do we have a choice?"
"Yes, the choice is always in your hands!"
Cheng Shijie smiled faintly and said: "Life is one choice after another. From the moment you open your eyes every day, it is a choice. You can choose to continue sleeping, or choose to get up..."
"How do we choose?"
Kong Youde glared at Cheng Shijie and said: "We are not like you, Cheng Shuai, who is deeply trusted by Master Futai. From the beginning, we have a well-equipped army that obeys you unconditionally, and a group of generals who are loyal to you. We have never had these.
When Marshal Mao led us to fight against Jiannu, let alone your sophisticated equipment, we couldn’t even get enough to eat! After conquering Jiannu’s city, we could still have enough to eat for a few days. If we couldn’t defeat it, we would starve to death.
Already..."
Kong Youde became more and more aggrieved as he spoke, with tears in his eyes: "Not only that, we also have to suffer from the imperial court's anger. As soon as the food and salary we deserved were allocated, they greedily squandered 40 to 50% of what was given to us.
It’s only 60%. Even this 50% to 60% of food and salary cannot be obtained every month. Marshal Mao fought with them and even brought the case to the late emperor, but in the end he couldn’t win against them..."
Cheng Shijie said nothing.
Zhang Yu said, "We haven't received a tael of silver from the governor's Yamen until now, when Ning Haijun formed an army!"
Of course, Chang Yu thought silently in his heart, the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver seized did not count.
"Don't have a tael of silver?"
Kong Youde pointed to the armor on the Ning navy officers and the spears and artillery in their hands and said: "Then you always have equipment, and we also have equipment..."
"The equipment is quite good, sixty fire guns, eight-door Folan machine and two hundred pairs of armor!"
"How is this possible? You must have lied to me!"
"What's the benefit of lying to you?"
Kong Youde murmured to himself: "Impossible!"
Cheng Shijie said: "Our Ning Haijun equipment is made by ourselves, as are the weapons. Let's not talk about our Ning Haijun. The Dongjiang Army has caused the current situation. You are the ones to blame. Do you know?"
"What?"
"An army can only have one commander, one leader, and one voice!"
Cheng Shijie smiled lightly and said: "Yuan Chonghuan contacted the Liu brothers seven times and lasted more than four months. Don't tell me that no one in your Dongjiang Army knew about it!"
"I……"
"Then how come you have the guts to hand over Mao Shuai's Chinese army to Liu Xingzhi, who has a close friendship with Yuan Chonghuan?"
Cheng Shijie attributed the reason why Yuan Chonghuan wanted to kill Mao Wenlong in later generations to the fact that Mao Wenlong pretended to receive his salary and wasted financial resources. If you have a little understanding of the official system of the Ming Dynasty, you should know that Dongjiang Town was established by Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, and Dengzhou has always been responsible.
Supplies and logistics of the Dongjiang Army.
There is no system between the two sides. In addition, Yuan Chonghuan only controls the general troops of Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan Town. This is also the origin of the Guan Ning Army.
Yuan Chonghuan actually had nothing to do with Mao Wenlong. He killed Mao Wenlong just because Yuan Chonghuan believed that Mao Wenlong was old enough and could kill chickens to scare monkeys.
"You have indulged the Liu brothers, which is the real reason for the internal division of your Dongjiang Army!"
Cheng Shijie stared at Kong Youde and said: "You have ten thousand ways to kill the Liu brothers. Even if you don't deal with them, you can completely ignore them. Why don't you do it? The reason is actually very simple. At that time
, Yuan Chonghuan is in the heart of the emperor, you are all afraid of offending Yuan Chonghuan, a wallflower in this world can never be trusted, you have defected to Mr. Futai, Mr. Futai does not trust you, a general from the Dongjiang Army, Geng Zhongming is better, Shen Shikui
, Chen sometimes, what did you and Li Jiucheng do?"
Kong Youde was slightly startled: "What?"
"You should have a cavalry battalion under your command, with 2,700 horses. Your cavalry battalion's money to buy horses was lost by Li Jiuzheng!"
Cheng Shijie said: "You were also tricked by Li Jiucheng, right?"
