Chapter 319: Situation

There was nothing more convincing than slaughtering two people. At the dock, both the rebel soldiers and the capital merchant regiment were honest like sheep. Immediately under the surveillance of four hundred soldiers, I started loading ships and leaving.

The soldiers in the Dengzhou camp did not pick and choose the elderly and weak like the Beijing Merchants Corps. Instead, they boarded the boat according to their own units. Because in the experience of the North Korean civil service, if the family is together, they often have a relatively stable mood. If a large family is together, they even have plans to take root. However, traditional Chinese families often have strong cohesion and do not accept the discipline of the government.

But in Jiang Feng's words, North Korea now has no time to deal with some of the things that come afterwards, and everyone is fighting every second.

The population on the dock was shipped on more than 20 ships, and the maximum limit was already reached. Two small boats in Dengzhou and one large ship were escorted, or more accurately, escorted below, slowly leaving the post, and 400 Dengzhou soldiers stayed directly at the dock.

The ships of the Beijing Merchant Corps were not afraid of storms at sea. Those broken ships and gunships were sank after a few fires. Similarly, the force of 400 Dengzhou veterans, two large ships and one small ship was enough to deter the soldiers and guards in the port.

Now the ships of the Beijing Merchants Corps are constantly traveling back and forth at this pier, and all these veterans have to do is to guard the port and wait for ships.

The refugees saw that these vicious soldiers were actually this "kind". Of course, they piled up on the port and did not leave, waiting to board the ship. Although the merchants and rebel soldiers at the port were gritting their teeth in hatred, no one dared to say anything or make any opposition.

There was chaos in southern Shandong, and Wang Fa had long known where he was thrown. Whoever had a big fist was the king! But the rebel soldiers naturally sent fast horses to Linyi to deliver letters. You should know that the silver earned by the ships of the merchant group occupied a large share of the purchase of supplies and military supplies.

It didn't take much time for Shijiu to go to Linyi, but Linyi has been delayed in sending reinforcements or giving clear solutions, so the rebel soldiers at the port just retreated five miles to the back, and didn't know what to do, so they just sent messengers to Linyi in succession.

At this time, Linyi no longer cared about the income of Shijiu Port. Now Liu Shisan has mobilized almost all the mobilized forces in his hands to prepare to reinforce Zoucheng. Under the control of the rebels, a large number of refugees fled in the fifteen prefectures and counties around Linyi, which were originally stable, once a large number of refugees fled, because now Liu Shisan has no time to care about the long-term stability base, and has recruited large numbers of soldiers and civilians.

The original plan was that the siege in Jining should have started four days ago, but now the 6,000 people who had heard the knife were dragged there by the 4,000 people led by Kong Guardian of Zoucheng, and the two sides fought hard.

Wen Dao's lips were a little dry and cracked, and he didn't care about the "Shangshu" demeanor. His face was covered with black gray and blood stains, and his eyes were covered with blood. He listened to the report of his officers:

"Sir, there are no people in the villages and towns around ten miles away, and the siege of the people can't find them!"

During these four days of battle, the first day of battle, Wen Dao's personal soldiers brought out from Linyi were actually lost by more than 100. The young and strong soldiers who were already slightly combative also lost nearly a thousand. They killed the city several times, but were killed by the soldiers of the garrison who usually looked idiot.

Because Wendao and Liu Shisan actually have some basic knowledge of the regular army, they are not as ignorant as those of ordinary rioters. However, after smashing the city gate with a car, they found that it had been blocked by Min Zhuang, who was collected from the city, and they were blocked with stones.

When digging the tunnel, Zoucheng was close to Weishan Lake. After digging a few meters, the groundwater gushed. Fortunately, Wendao also heard the method of Liu Liu and Liu Qi's brothers siegeing the city. That is, to arrest the surrounding villagers and let them use it as a meat shield in front. This method was very useful at the beginning. You should know that this was the Mongolian Tatars that year, which was to attack the city. When they set out, Liu Shisan specifically said not to harass the people around us. This is the territory we will control in the future, and we will also have to conscription and tax collection here. However, Wendao is now red and has no time to care about it.

It is not impossible to bypass Zoucheng, but Zoucheng is located at the intersection of major traffic arteries. In order to quickly reach Jining, he has bypassed Yuyang. If you ignore Zoucheng, you may have been intercepted before you arrive in Jining.

The capital of Yanzhou is in the county of Yuyang. If Zoucheng does not occupy Zoucheng as a stronghold, then Yuyang mobilizes the powerful soldiers and thousands of soldiers from Yanzhou and cut off the rear route and attacks Jining's troops from the army, everything will be over.

Wen Dao actually had another idea. Since Liu Shisan and his soldiers merged with each other, his authority quickly disappeared. First of all, Liu Shisan was the direct descendant of the Liu family on Weishan Island. The soldiers and generals of the Liu family naturally followed his orders. Moreover, Liu Shisan had been sitting down for more than a year and did everything he did. Without the banditry spirit of Wen Dao, everyone was relieved.

Wen Dao always wanted to transform the young and strong men into their own strength, but the effect was not great. Apart from the two thousand horses pulled out from the Yimeng Mountains, there were always things like running away and resisting. Liu Shisan also came to Linyi with more than two thousand iron armors. However, as time went on, more and more people joined Liu Shisan's troops, and the local gentry that had always hated the rebels deeply began to try to contact the rebels.

Of course, the sound of the sword, who has always been in the wild, certainly does not know what rules are, nor does it know the benefits of stability. He always thinks that he feels messy. Only chaos can he get the benefits from the fire and get the benefits.

Originally, the incident was that Wen Dao and Liu Shisan attacked Jining according to the plan given to them before Liu Shier broke up. The pre-plan was that both sides would work together to attack Jining together, but after his confidant told him something, he couldn't help it.

King Jing was already in his fifties, and he was aged to know his destiny. He did not seek death after being plundered by the rioters. However, if he wanted to do anything, it would be impossible. Fortunately, Wen Dao already knew that there was this sign, so it would be much more convenient to do things, otherwise he would have been killed with one knife.

However, King Jing was calm and firm, but his sons may not have no such intentions. King Jing and King Heng of Qingzhou were both considered the uncles of Emperor Jiajing. Emperor Jiajing jumped from King Xian of Xiaoxiaoxing in Hubei to become the Emperor of Ming, which made these princes feel restless. After all, there are many people. Some people saw that the rebels are so powerful that they have other thoughts.

For example, when the prince of King Jing kidnapped them by hearing the knife, he was still calm and understood his father's reputation as the court. When Liu Shisan came with his army, King Jing's prince was well-informed and had seen the military and horses of the court. However, although Liu Shisan's troops were rebels, their military appearance, military discipline, equipment, and the momentum they emitted were extremely shocking.

Moreover, Liu Shisan has become the demeanor of the officials of the court for several years. This behavior naturally attracted the favor of the people of the Jingwang Mansion. Therefore, the Prince of Jingwang took the initiative to contact Liu Shisan, expressed a kind attitude, and discussed some conditions. After Wendao found out about this matter, he was furious. He felt that he was neglected, but he could not follow Liu Shisan.

Liu Shisan had more soldiers than him, and even Wendao's elite soldiers were mostly soldiers of the Liu family. If Liu Shisan issued an order, he would probably have to obey his orders. So this time, both sides were fully prepared and decided to take their own direct troops to attack first.

Wen Dao was full of contempt for the combat effectiveness of the official army. He felt that with his six thousand soldiers and the brave horse team, he would definitely be able to fight to Jining very quickly. At that time, even if Liu Shisan occupied Linyi and dominated Jining, a wealthy place, he would manage a piece of land, and at that time, both sides would save each other from being dirty.

But no one expected that Zoucheng was so difficult to chew. According to Wen Dao's plan, the lost official army on the city was almost 2,000, but they were still very motivated and fought desperately. Wen Dao knew that the 6,000 people he brought to the city had already lost thousands, which was really painful.

The officer who reported the report was related to the relatives, but Wen Dao's cousin, who was far away, looked at Wen Dao sitting there in a daze, and couldn't help but boldly suggesting:

"Why don't you go and invite the second master to platoon reinforcements..."

With a "bang", the whip was already whipped heavily. He stood up with red eyes and said with panting:

"No need for the second brother to come, we can take Zoucheng by ourselves. Now you will take the people to repair the ladder and let the horse team dismount. Let's take action and attack again!"

The matter is not much different from what Jiang Feng made in Dengzhou. Jiang Feng said privately with a smile:

"Young people's impulsive personality is often influenced by emotions when doing things, and they are full of flaws!"

When Wendao just started attacking Zoucheng, five days ago, the Grand Canal Wharf outside Tongzhou City was covered with dense soldiers, and the officers shouted at the top of their voices:

"The things on the boat are thrown to the dock, and now they are all requisitioned..."
