Cai Yu, the commander of the Fuzhou Guard, immediately announced that he would go out with illness and clean up all the soldiers who participated in the mutiny!

The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first.

It takes a little time to prepare for sending troops, and this preparation has passed for more than half a month.

And the scale of the mutiny in Yongning Jiancheng suddenly expanded rapidly as Cai Yu planned to go on an expedition. Tens of thousands of military households in the vicinity rose up one after another, wanting to rebel against the tyrannical rule of Governor Wang.

At the beginning of March, Cai Yu was not ready, and Wang Yuan had already led his troops outside the Yongning Prison City.

There were less than 500 elite cavalry, and there were more than 1,000 recruits, that is, fugitive military households that had just been reorganized.

The more than 400 elite cavalry, now all officers, must be gathered together to ensure the combat effectiveness of the cavalry troops. Therefore, the more than 1,000 newly organized troops, which do not even have competent officers, are expected to disperse in a hurry when they encounter setbacks.

Wang Yuan took the royal order banner to borrow troops, and the commanders of the surrounding guards all agreed, but they needed to take time to prepare for the troops.

Wang Yuan didn't wait, so he took less than 2,000 people and went straight to Yongning Prison City.

The turret city is a big one, and the towers of the city are densely packed, all of which are rebels who participated in the mutiny. And most of them belonged to the common people, who had never fought at all, and they sincerely wanted to rebel against the tyranny of the governor.

"Zhongde, aren't we bad?" Wang Yuan pointed to the people on the city tower and asked.

Wang Chong smiled helplessly: "In the eyes of these people, we are indeed the big villains who are forced by the officials to rebel against the people. ”

The officers encroached on the pastures, not for horses, but for farming. Farming requires a population, and with such a large pasture, I don't know how many people depend on it for survival. Wang Yuan is now running to take back the pasture, which is to smash the rice bowls of tens of thousands of peasants, can the people who are tenants for officers not rebel?

Wang Yuan appreciated Wang Chong very much and regarded him as the heir to the mantle, and deliberately cultivated at this time: "How to quell the chaos? ”

"Attack the heart." Wang Chong replied.

Wang Yuan smiled: "You come to command." ”

Half a day later, Wang Yuan set up camp outside the city, and Wang Chong led the cavalry to the city to release arrows.

Hundreds of letters were sent into the city, nothing more than an expression of goodwill, announcing the method of resettlement of landless tenants. I don't know if the credit overdraft of Liaodong officials is too serious, or the promise given by Wang Yuan is too generous, anyway, no one in the city is willing to believe it, and Wang Chong's strategy to attack the heart has failed.

"Sir, the disciple is incompetent." Wang Chong was ashamed.

Wang Yuan comforted and said: "It's not your responsibility, it's the soldiers and civilians of Liaodong who don't believe the of the officials for a long time." ”

Wang Yuan also had a headache at this time, he had more than 400 elite horsemen available, and it was impossible to take them to attack the city, right? As for the remaining more than 1,000 recruits, they are simply used to support the scene, and it is okay to fight a tailwind battle, but if they are thrown to attack the city, they will run away halfway through.

As a general, he is most afraid of impatience.

Wang Yuan was not in a hurry, besieged but not attacked, waiting for the rebels in the city to make mistakes.

It is said to be a mutiny, but in fact it is a popular mutiny. Now that it is spring, not to mention whether the food in the city is sufficient, those rebels are still thinking about spring ploughing, I am afraid that the whole army will panic after a month of siege.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Yuan sent someone to clear the ranch, and no one dared to stop it at this time.

Wang Yuan hoped that someone would jump out and just be able to stand up. He can't attack inside the city, what else is there to say outside the city? Those more than 400 elite riders are not decorations!

Half a month later, Fei Yuan, a disciple who led someone to clear the Zhangzhang Ranch, came back and reported: "Sir, the clearing has not been completed, but the situation has been extremely bad. At present, more than 1,000 dumps of pasture have been cleared, and not a single acre has been occupied, and the pasture has been destroyed, and it is all farmland as far as the eye can see. ”

"Expected." Wang Yuan was not angry.

As mentioned earlier, there are six prisons and twenty-four gardens in the Liaodong Yuanma Temple. Not many years after Zhu Di died, only the two gardens of Qinghe and Luanhe were actually left, and the remaining twenty-two gardens were all encroached upon.

During the orthodox years, the imperial court sent ministers to supervise Ma Zheng, and only restored all the pastures of Yongning Jian (a total of four gardens).

In the Chenghua period, only two gardens of pastures remained, and the imperial court once again sent ministers to rectify.

When the Hongzhi Dynasty was abolished again, the ranch continued to be rectified, and there was no result in the whole thing.

There is no way, whether it is the governor of Liaodong or the officials of Yuanma Temple, they dare not fall out with the local guard. What's even more tricky is how to settle the people who farm after the restoration of the horse farm? Let's not mention how to resettle, what about those people who rebel?

I can only turn one eye open and close one eye!

……

Inside the city.

Zhang Lu, the deputy commander of the rebels, said: "Big brother, the officers and soldiers are not going to leave, the people in the city are clamoring to go back to spring ploughing." ”

Gao Hang, the leader of the rebels, said depressedly: "Whoever wants to plow the fields will go back, anyway, I won't leave, it's Wang Erlang outside!" ”

Zhang Lu was a little unbelieving: "We have tens of thousands of soldiers, and we will go out together, can more than 1,000 officers and soldiers outside withstand it?" ”

"Have you ever fought?" Gao Hang asked.

Zhang Lu shook his head and said, "No." ”

Gao Hang asked again: "Have you heard of Liu Liu and Liu Qi?" ”

Zhang Lu said with a smile: "That's a good man from Hebei, who was killed in Gyeonggi three times and tossed for several years before being destroyed." ”

Gao Hang sighed: "When Wang Erlang was just the champion, he only took two hundred cavalry, and he dared to rush more than 10,000 rebels, and the rebels were really crushed by him. Can the crops in our hands be compared with Liu Liu's righteous army? ”

"And that kind of thing?" Zhang Lu was shocked.

"Do you dare to go out of town now?" Gao Hang asked.

Zhang Lu shook his head again and again: "Don't dare." After saying that, he said, "Why don't we surrender?" ”

Gao Hang was furious, flew up and kicked it: "You might as well find a rope and hang yourself!" ”

Zhang Lu covered the sore spot: "I'll just say it casually, and it's not serious." ”

Gao Hang was so angry that he sat back and said, "Bring the surname Ling." ”

Zhang Lu muttered: "Forget about killing the one surnamed Ling, it's useless to keep it, and you can save an ration if you kill it." ”

Gao Hang, who had just sat down, was so angry that he stood up again, picked up the teacup and smashed it out: "From the third-grade civil official, you will kill if you say kill?" If we really kill him, we will die! ”

Ling Xiang is not only the deputy envoy of Shandong and the secretary of the Liaodong Yuanma Temple, but also the secretary of the Liaodong Xingtai Temple, and his official position is one level lower than Wang Yuan.

Liaodong Xingtaifu Siqing and Yuanma Siqing were originally separated at the beginning. Due to the serious abandonment of Ma Zheng, Xuanzong wanted to abandon the Taifu Temple in Liaodong, but was strongly opposed by Wang Ji, the secretary of the military department. In the end, although it was not really abolished, it was greatly streamlined and the two secretaries gradually became a single person.

Not long after, Ling Xiang was brought over, this time wearing clothes. It's okay to be humiliated and humiliated, you can't be naked all the time, what if you freeze to death?

Ling Xiang came with his head held high and sneered: "Wang Erlang has already killed the city, right?" Why bother to hold on, surrender quickly. ”

Gao Hang frightened: "The morale of the army in the city is unstable, I want to kill you to gather the morale of the army." What other last words do you have? ”

Although Ling Xiang was so frightened that his vest was sweating, he was still holding on: "I am a member of the third grade, if you kill it, there will be no turning back." You want to wait for Cai Yu to make a move, right? Once I am killed, even if Cai Yu can succeed, you people will definitely die! ”

"Hahaha!"

Gao Hang, who was seen through his thoughts, suddenly lowered his shelf, and smiled to pull Ling Xiang's hand: "Lord Ling, I have offended a lot before, I will accompany you." ”

Ling Xiang said with a straight face: "If you sincerely apologize, let me out of the city." ”

"This won't work," Gao Hang shook his head repeatedly, "Lord Ling, how about we make a deal?" ”

Ling Xiang didn't want to die either, and sneered, "You say." ”

Gao Hang said: "If I die, I will also pull a cushion before I die, and then I will cut Lord Ling with a knife." So, I have a way to live, and Master Ling has a way to live. Lord Ling, you are very knowledgeable, how about helping us show us the way? ”

Ling Xiang said: "The clear way is to open the city and surrender immediately!" ”

"Fart!"

Ling Xiang was furious: "You bastard, Lao Tzu sincerely asks for advice, but you let Lao Tzu die." Zhengde's four years of affairs, Lao Tzu doesn't know! ”

In the fourth year of Zhengde, there was a mutiny in Liaodong. The court allocated money to appease the rebellion, and the rebellion was quickly quelled, but the autumn settled the accounts and killed all the leaders who led the mutiny.

This incident was caused by Liu Jin, and he sent eunuchs to investigate Tuntian in Liaodong, saying that he wanted to return Tuntian to military households. Some were indeed returned, but the eunuchs embezzled even more, forcing all the officers and military households to be in a hurry.

The rebellion of King Anhua was also triggered by Liu Jin, and the reason was exactly the same as the Liaodong mutiny.

Liu Jin did this all over the country, sending eunuchs to clear the land everywhere. said that he wanted to divide the land and the people, but secretly looted countless people, forcing rebellions everywhere in the early years of Zhengde.

At this moment, the impeachment of the eunuch in Liaodong has been sent to the celebrant and has also been transferred to the cabinet so that the ministers of the DPRK and the central government will know about it. The impeachment charge is that Wang Yuan is learning from Liu Jin, using the Qingzhang Ranch as an excuse to brutalize the military households in Fuzhou, and take the pasture and fertile land as his own, forcing tens of thousands of people to rebel - without mentioning the mutiny from beginning to end.

There are many angry officials in Kedaoyan, and they are all young people who have not been beaten by society. When they got the news, whether it was true or not, countless officials immediately followed suit and impeached them.

The Kedao officials and eunuchs made a fuss at the same time, and the "civil unrest" caused in Liaodong, if they were replaced by other civil officials as governors, they would have been recalled to the capital for questioning.

And Cai Yu and Gao Hang also had the same idea, wanting to make things big and force Wang Yuan away.

But Zhu Houzhao, who has always ignored the government and politics, greeted the celebrant in advance: "If there is any piece about Wang Erlang, all of them will not be released." ”

The two monarchs and ministers already had a tacit understanding when Wang Yuan was asking for errands.

Wang Yuan said at the time: "If Your Majesty wants to recover the three guards of Duoyan, you must raise horses in Liaodong. If you want to raise horses in Liaodong, you have to restore pastures. If the pastures are to be restored, there will definitely be mutinies or civil revolts. ”

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Mutiny kills soldiers, people mutiny kills people, Erlang let it go, I just want war horses!" ”

At this moment, hearing Gao Hang's words, Ling Xiang sneered: "Do you know that the imperial court wants to settle accounts after the autumn, and dare to gather troops to rebel?" ”

Gao Hang said: "As long as Wang Yuan leaves Liaodong, I will naturally be able to keep me alive." ”

"Still thinking so?" Ling asked.

Gao Hang was silent, he found that he had been trapped, and this Governor Wang didn't seem to be able to force him out.

Ling Xiang gloated and began to come up with bad ideas: "This rebellion is the same as playing cards, you have to have hole cards to gamble." inevitably, if you can't force Wang Erlang away, you have to get the capital to negotiate with him. ”

"How do you get the money?" Gao Hang asked.

Ling Xiang said: "Pull all your people out and fight with Wang Erlang in a dignified manner." He is the one who has the troops, and he cannot win or lose. As long as you win, how many soldiers will he have left? When the time comes, it will be him who begs you, not you who beg him. He wants to help the emperor supervise the horse administration, and the first priority is to raise horses, not to trouble you. You are in a hurry, and he is in a hurry. Go out of the city to fight, and if you win, he will respond to his needs. ”

Gao Hang was very angry: "If Lao Tzu dares to go out of the city to fight, do you still need to ask this bastard?" ”

Ling Xiang sneered: "There are more than 10,000 people in the city, and they don't dare to fight with a thousand people outside the city, so you still make a fart and wipe your neck as soon as possible." ”

"Lao Tzu is not a rebellion!" Gao Hang's mind is so messy.

"Do you believe this yourself?" Ling asked.

Gao Hang said: "I believe it, but the court doesn't believe it." ”

"It's all the same," Ling Xiang said with a smile, "What choice do you have other than to go out of the city to fight?" Waiting for Cai Yu to save you? There was a mutiny in Yongning Jiancheng, and he, as the commander of the guard, had to transfer troops to suppress it. How long can his delaying tactics last? If Wang Erlang never leaves Liaodong, Cai Yu will come to clean you up in person sooner or later, so don't think about him wiping your ass! ”

was analyzed by Ling Xiang, and Gao Hang sat directly on the Taishi chair. He really didn't seem to have any other choice but to go out of the city to fight.

Even if Cai Yu can keep delaying, the food in the city is not enough, and the military spirit in the city is even more insufficient than food. It is estimated that before the food is finished, the soldiers and civilians in the city will leave in a hurry, and most of their own people will fight with their own people at that time.

Thinking about it, Gao Hang gritted his teeth and said, "Then fight." Pull out to fight, Lao Tzu still doesn't believe it, he Wang Erlang really has three heads and six arms! ”

Ling Xiang smiled wickedly: "The general is arrogant, and the official admires him so much." ”
