Chapter 902

Yang Sichang, Zhu Xieyuan, Hong Chengchou and others led hundreds of thousands of Ming troops to attack Shandong with a powerful force of thunder. They believed that their thunder attack could give a fatal blow to the Chinese army, causing chaos in their military morale and demoralizing their morale.

After all, many things happened to the Chinese army this year. Liu Bu, who relied on them as the mainstay, was said to have died of assassination. The canals they relied on as their lifeline were also paralyzed. Cao Bang, their most important partner, began to rebel, which caused them great trouble.

Therefore, this frustrated the morale of the always strong Chinese army. After the war, they were at a disadvantage everywhere and were controlled by others. Under the military front of the Imperial Army, they fought hard and struggled hard.

Yang Sichang, Hong Chengchou and others are optimistic that they can easily attack Shandong, search for money, food and supplies in these places, and then heavily siege Jinan. The three-way army and hundreds of thousands of powerful divisions surrounded Jinan government, took this important city, and then go south along the canal to recover the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, drink horses and Yangtze River, and confront Liu thieves.

It would be better if Liu Yuanqiao could be killed in Jinan, which may allow them to calm the enemy's chaos in advance.

However, after they entered Shandong, they found that as they occupied so many cities, they had to constantly divide their troops, but they couldn't grab what they wanted, and they were beaten in front of these cities. Such a situation made them extremely angry and helpless.

The Chinese army is not as vulnerable as they imagined, let alone as weak and deceptive as they imagined. The other side is trained and well-equipped. Most importantly, they have won the support of the people, but the imperial court has not won the support of the people.

For Yang Sichang of the East Route Army, Texas and Qingzhou Prefecture are a large piece of fat in front of them. If they swallow it, they will be full of fat and become strong enough.

For Hong Chengchou of the West Road army, this place has become Linqing. If they take this place, they will get enough supplements.

Their opponents Fang Shifan and Wang Wensheng are both powerful and powerful. In the past, they were just anonymous people. They couldn't even get a reputation. They were fooling around by the power of the family, but they played such a huge role when they were allowed to stand on their own.

In the past, Hong Chengchou thought that it was easy to win Linqing. Some of his men were proud soldiers and brave generals, and some were not afraid of death. But at this moment, when the two sides really fought, he found that the other side was far more powerful than he thought.

Hong Chengchou wondered that Wang Wensheng and Fang Shifan could be called cattle, ghosts and snake gods when they were officials in the Ming Dynasty. Why did they come to China like water ghosts rising to city gods?

This is not to say that their way of doing things has changed, but their abilities seem to have been strengthened and become a generation of capable people. Is it true that the soil and water in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty raise corrupt officials, while the Chinese thieves cultivate good officials.

Thinking of this, Hong Chengchou is very afraid. If it is true, it can only be said that Daming is terminally ill and can't shake at dusk. Sooner or later, he will be dead.

In the past, they thought easily. When they had no food and grass, they went to the enemy to rob. When they had no civilian men and logistics supplies, they went to the enemy to rob, because these were anti thieves and traitors. It was kind not to kill them, but at this moment, he knew how stupid this method was.

The enemy also knew their faction and that the officers and soldiers were not to save them, but to plunder their money and enslave their children. Therefore, they hated the enemy and fought against the officers and soldiers with one heart and one mind.

After the officers and soldiers entered Shandong, how passive they were. They basically didn't get the support of the local squires. No one came to reward the army with food, and no people tipped off the news for them. As long as the people heard about them, they ran away. Many people would rather be cut down by the officers and soldiers than be brought into the camp by them.

When they entered here, they did get some food and some military pay, but these bands were bloody and aroused the anger of the local people. The local people said that the officers and soldiers were evil wolves who ate human flesh and chewed up bones. They would rather die than fall into the hands of the officers and soldiers.

The people resisted so much that they joined the ranks of the Chinese army to resist the invasion of the official Army.

Yes, they are the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. They originally came to recover the lost land and calm the anti thieves, but in the eyes of the local people, they have become the enemies who come to rob their territory and invade them.

Hong Chengchou sighed that he had won Shandong and that it would not be effective for decades to govern Shandong. "

The people are scattered. It's difficult to gather them back.

However, the imperial court only cares about recovering Shandong and exterminating the anti thieves. As for what the people think, no one cares. In their eyes, these people are their fish and meat. They toss and toss as they want, kill as they want, and fight as they want. If it was in the past, they still have some scruples, but now Shandong has been occupied by Chinese thieves. These are enemies, They are all from thieves, indicating that they have the right to deal with these people.

That is because the officers and the army all have this idea. They all treat these people as human beings. They either beat or abuse them or put them to death. The worst thing is that women should not only be humiliated by them, but also wash and cook for them.

Hong Chengchou knew that most of the women they arrested in the military camp were sent to the military prostitute camp by these officers to boost morale.

Hong Chengchou knew that there were prostitutes in the Ming army, but they were generally prostitutes engaged in cheap business or the family members of prisoners demoted to cheap nationality. The transactions between the two sides were your love and my wish, and they were paid. Both the officials and the local government turned a blind eye to such places, even Xuanfu in the important place of Bingzhen, There are many such things, and a famous one has been created: Xuanfu teaching workshop.

But now they are different. There is no love between you and me. They directly capture people and transfer them inside. If they dare to resist, they will be killed. Countless people who resist them are buried outside the barracks. However, the more people they kill, the more beams and hatred they have. Many people know that the officers and soldiers treat the people so cruelly, which makes them angry, Many people swear that they are not at odds with the army.

Even after something happened, they were trapped in the Qing Dynasty, and hundreds of thousands of troops attacked day and night, but they rarely made an inch.

Their soldiers set up a ladder and rushed forward under the cover of archers and artillery.

How hard do the soldiers and civilians in the city fight? When some people saw that there were not enough weapons and ammunition and enough challenge stones, they jumped out of the city and directly regarded themselves as stones and challenge stones and smashed them at the Ming army on the ladder. This practice made the officers and soldiers feel cold.

How to deal with such an enemy?

Some officers hate them even more. They think that these unruly people have been completely brainwashed by the Chinese army and become their diehards. They can't be saved. You don't have to be polite to these people and just kill them all.

Hatred can arise at once, but friendship and trust are difficult to establish. People of insight such as Hong Chengchou are lamenting that even if they can seize these places and govern them in the future, it will be very difficult and will become a rotten place in Daming.

However, this is not what Hong Chengchou wants to consider. What he wants to consider now is to take the city and then go straight to Jinan. If he can't take this place, it's estimated that he can't get well by himself.

According to the latest military newspaper, after the army attacked Shandong, they have begun to be frustrated and failed to win the big city they want.

But they received the news that tens of thousands of troops led by Liu Yuanqiao entered Jinan, ready to use it as a strong fortress against them.

At the same time, the Chinese army also announced that Liu Bu, commander-in-chief of the Ministry of national defense, would lead 200000 troops, both land and water, to counter the enemy. On the day of the arrival of the troops, there would be no chicken or dog left.

Liu Bu is the founder and soul of the Chinese army. In every war, he will appear on the most dangerous battlefield, but this time many people in the army are willing to believe that something should have happened to him.

Otherwise, according to the past practice, Liu Bu at the moment is afraid that he has led his troops to Dongchang mansion or Qingzhou mansion to fight.

It can be said that if Liu buta sits in Dongchang mansion or Qingzhou mansion, even if the imperial court has 700000 troops, it will be more than half difficult to attack these places.

They dared to bully the Chinese Army on such a large scale only when Liu Bu, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, died, the Cao Gang was in chaos, the canal was paralyzed, and the food and luggage of the Chinese army could not be transported. If the Chinese army was fully loaded and well prepared, they would not dare to go out so easily.

Hong Chengchou and others firmly believe that Liu BU should have had an accident and the other party refused to admit it. This is mainly to stabilize the morale of the army.

The imperial army is not progressing well, but the Chinese army is even worse. They have been passively beaten everywhere. Even the best defense is defense. Defense will be broken sooner or later.

Even the spies of the imperial court got the news. Although Liu Yuanqiao had led tens of thousands of troops into Jinan, he was also well prepared. As soon as he saw that the wind was wrong, he immediately began to retreat.

Even they have got some news. It is said that Liu Yuanqiao has given orders to several generals in charge of the army. If he can still insist, he will continue to insist. If he can't insist, he won't care about these people and cities. In order to keep the strength of the army and give priority to it, he began to retreat to the south.

According to their thinking, this is that once they lose the war in Shandong, they will give up here and retreat to Jianghuai.

Hong Chengchou was thinking that as long as we work harder and break through this line, we can crush the enemy. Who knows that we have received an urgent imperial edict at this time.
