Chapter 372 Can't beat Qufu(1/2)

Looking at Kong Yinzhi's frustrated look, Wang Haoxian had a smile on his face, but he didn't care too much.

I have been with Kong Yinzhi for a few days, and Wang Haoxian probably also understood the character of this Yan Shenggong.

In Wang Haoxian's opinion, this person is simply a waste. He not only has no courage, but also has no strategy. He is basically a stupid scholar.

For Wang Haoxian, such a person just needs to be controlled and used in his hands, and the others are not of much value. As for how he will do in the future, it depends on how he performs.

As long as you can win Qufu this time, you will have great power for you.

Now that the imperial court suppressed the Kong family, he happened to use the influence of the Kong family among the literati to make them use it for his own use. At that time, his strength would definitely be very strong.

Especially on the ground in Shandong, the court arrested people everywhere and killed people everywhere, and gave them a chance to survive.

"Don't worry, Yan Shenggong, when the big thing is done, I will definitely not make a mistake." Wang Haoxian looked at Kong Yinzhi and said with a smile. His face was full of sincerity and his tone was very gentle.

Kong Yinzhi sighed helplessly and said, "thank you, the coach."

In fact, Kong Yinzhi was very disdainful. Now Wang Haoxian said that there were some or nothing, but he didn't believe it at all.

Relying on these idiots, they wanted to rebel and conquer the world, it was simply a fool. Maybe one day they would be wiped out by the imperial army. At that time, everyone would die without a place to die.

Kong Yinzhi was thinking about what he should do, how to save the Kong family, and how to save his life. This was the most critical thing for him, and he didn't care about the life or death of these people.

At the same time, Sun Chuanting and his group had already arrived in Juye.

They also encountered some rebels in the early stage, but these rebels and the imperial army were basically defeated at once and there was no need to fight. Even after seeing the imperial army, many rebels turned around and ran away, and the entire team collapsed.

Most people rebel, but in fact they just want to take the opportunity to gain some benefits.

Some people have thoughts, but they are just some people. The individuals can't do anything in front of the army. These people can only be swept away and have no combat power at all.

For ordinary people who follow the rebellion, they will be scared away when they see someone die.

Although there were some casualties in the Shandong earthquake this time, the people's lives were not easy, and the food for disaster relief was resold, but the food was coming down and there were also food. All localities are actively responding to disasters and even helping to rebuild the houses.

The court also implemented labor-for-relief. Although it was a small project, there were also places to make money, so the people's lives were not that sad.

Most of the rebellions were refugees, or even bandits, who ran away if they wanted to rob them. There were not many rebellions at all, so don’t mention their combat effectiveness.

Along the way, the official army led by Sun Chuanting rushed directly to Juye.

The battle in Juye City did not take much effort.

It was originally a small county town with not high walls and not difficult defense. The rebels could easily conquer them, and the official army could naturally easily conquer them. The official army could not even use up a day, and Juye City was recovered.

In the city of Jining.

Zhu Youxiao listened to Chen Hong's war report, and his expression on his face felt helpless.

Originally, Zhu Youxiao thought the rebels could hold on, at least to hone Lu Xiangsheng and the others, after all, it was their first time on the battlefield.

That's the result?

It's so disappointing!

Zhu Youxiao was helpless. The author, who had wanted to rely on this battle, wanted to cry now.

There is really nothing to describe in the battle.

"Okay, needless to say." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, interrupted Chen Hong, and said directly: "I understand."

"Yes, the emperor." Chen Hong quickly shut up.

He didn't know why the emperor was in a bad mood. You know, this was a great victory, and the government army had no effort to recover Juye City directly. This was a great victory, and this was a good thing!

Why is the emperor unhappy?

But the heart of heaven is unpredictable, so how could the emperor's mind be so easy to guess?

Although I have been with the Emperor for a while, or it has been quite a while, I have never guessed what the Emperor is thinking.

Even if it is accurate once or twice, it is very obvious. Most of the time, I don’t know what the emperor is thinking, so I can only serve him carefully.

Zhu Youxiao was a little uneasy and then said, "I'm really bored, let's go out with me for a walk."

In the next few days, war reports kept coming from Juye, and there were news of suppressing rebellions everywhere. It can be said that the rebels were very useless, and many places were recovered by the government troops.

It can be said that these rebels did not play a role at all.

Zhu Youxiao became more and more anxious. He looked at Chen Hong and asked, "What's going on in Qufu?"

"Returning to the emperor, there has been news from Qufu that Wang Haoxian gathered a large number of troops to attack Qufu, and the magistrate of Qufu Kong Wenli held the city to defend. The rebels have been sieging the city for three consecutive days, but they still have not captured Qufu."

"Bare!" Zhu Youxiao cursed in a low voice.

They still couldn't defeat the rebels after giving them such good conditions. You know, in the original history, these people were unable to conquer Qufu, and Xu Hongru went there himself.

At that time, Xu Hongru grabbed the throat of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, cut off the imperial court's channel for grain transportation, and intercepted forty official grain ships in Pengjiakou, gathering a large number of troops to attack Qufu.

The magistrate of Qufu, Kong Wenli, defended the city and bravely fought against the war. The rebels could not conquer the city for several months. In Qufu City, there was enough food and supplies, so it would be fine to hold on for a longer period of time.

So this time, Zhu Youxiao made a trick and withdrew a lot of people, but they were all done quietly and without making any big fuss.

If it is carried out with great fanfare, it will arouse people's suspicion and damage their reputation.

But even so, the rebels did not capture the city?!

It's so useless!

Now all over the country are clearing out rebels. Although there is no imperial edict from Zhu Youxiao, officials and generals from all over the country have the responsibility to defend their territory and fight against the enemy. They can't issue an order to tell them not to resist, right? Then what has Zhu Youxiao formed?

It’s okay to use some tricks quietly, but it really makes the rebels rampant and the people suffer. You can’t do that.

"It's so disappointing!" Zhu Youxiao complained again. Reading for a long time

But at this point, he had to accept his fate. These rebels were too useless, and their plans were fine. They were not a crime of war. They probably wouldn't be able to defeat Qufu until they died.

At this moment, Zhang Weixian walked in from outside.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Zhang Weixian and saw his happy face, he knew that there was good news in his heart.

So Zhu Youxiao smiled and waved his hand and said, "Let's not give me a gift, but there is good news again?"

"Your Majesty, there is indeed good news." Zhang Weixian said hurriedly.

For Zhang Weixian, these days have been good news. The rebels and rebellion have been very tremendous, and they even mean to cut off the canal transportation in the capital, which shocked the capital and the world.

But such a big rebellion was almost settled in his own hands in such a short time. This was a very happy thing for Zhang Weixian.

If the news spreads, it will also help enhance his prestige and even enhance his power. The role of the staff office will be highlighted at once.

"Then let's talk about it." Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhang Weixian and said with a bright smile on his face.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Weixian agreed and said quickly: "Li Enxian, Gushi County, Runing Prefecture, rebelled and was discovered by the Jinyiwei yesterday and had been wiped out."

"Meng Chengguang, the 66th generation grandson of Mencius, also led the township heroes to assist the government forces in attacking Zou County. Now Zou County has been recovered. In addition, there are also good news in various places. This is a report, please check it out."

After saying that, Zhang Weixian quickly handed over the report.

Zhu Youxiao took the report from Chen Hong's hand, glanced briefly, and then put it aside.

This report is no longer attractive to Zhu Youxiao, and the rebels have now been beaten to pieces.

So Zhu Youxiao said: "Your dear is doing a good job. He ordered all places to speed up the rebellion. After the rebellion is quelled, I will definitely reward you on the merits. I will definitely not be stingy with the rewards for all those who have meritorious people. Let the soldiers on the front line use their lives to pacify Shandong as soon as possible."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Weixian agreed excitedly.

Zhang Weixian was also happy to see Zhu Youxiao so happy.

This time I did things so beautifully, Your Majesty should have made himself the chief counselor, right?

Thinking of this, Zhang Weixian became excited and prepared to go back and make arrangements to speed up the rebellion.

Zhang Weixian took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, you should send troops to recover Xia Town now. Xia Town is the throat of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. The rebels cut off the imperial court's channel for grain transportation, which has a great impact."

"Now that Zou County has been recovered, Xu Hongru and others have no way out. These people will soon retreat to Tengxian and Xia Town. Please send more people to eliminate the traitors as soon as possible."

Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhang Weixian without any hesitation, nodded directly and said, "It's so great, you go down and arrange it. I will ask Qi Jin to transfer some of his troops to you and quell the rebellion as soon as possible."

Things are no longer done now, so Zhu Youxiao will naturally not insist. If Qufu cannot be defeated, these rebels are just waste, and there is no need to let them be fooled.

Now that rebellions in various places have been put down, many places have been recovered, they know what these rebels will do in despair. So these people cannot be kept, and the key is to eliminate them as soon as possible.

Hearing that His Majesty was willing to let Qi Jin arrange his troops for him, a hint of joy flashed across Zhang Weixian's face, but then he shook his head seriously and said directly: "Your Majesty, these troops still don't need to be mobilized."

"The men led by General Qi Jin are here to protect His Majesty. Once there is any movement in Jining, General Qi Jin can quell the rebellion as soon as possible. Now the rebels are exhausted, so there is no need to send out such a strong army. I just need to mobilize troops on the spot to quell the rebellion."

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Zhang Weixian, nodded directly and said, "You can arrange it yourself."

In fact, there is no need to send Qi Jin's men out. Zhu Youxiao feels that some people use bull's knife to kill pigs.

After all, from the current situation, these rebels are all waste and were beaten to pieces by the official army. In this case, it is really not worth mobilizing Qi Jin's troops.

In the original history, these rebels were able to make such a big noise mainly because of the crushing defeat in Liaodong. The court drew too many troops to go to the front line of Liaodong, and Shandong drew the most, so there was such a huge emptiness that allowed them to take advantage of it.

There is no such emptiness in Shandong now, and the rebels cannot take advantage of it. The troops in Shandong are still there, and it takes no effort to fight the rebels.

What's more, I was in Jining and had helped the victims before and killed many corrupt officials. No one dared not to use any effort.

Zhu Youxiao even had some speculations that if he did not quit the rebels, they might not rebel now.

After all, after enduring for so many years, they did not have a good chance, so they did not want to move. In the original history, these people had indeed encountered good opportunities for rebellion, and it was indeed a very advantageous thing to make such a big noise.

But this time it was different. Shandong had no chance to rebel. Even if there was an earthquake, it would not be enough to rebel.
