"Don't hurt me!"

Zhu Zhen is going fucking crazy, he successfully speculated in the last mutiny, but how can there be any reason to steal chickens twice in a short period of time?

In history, it took more than ten years for Zhu Zhen to instigate the second mutiny.

God is pitiful, Governor Xi Shu actually cleaned up the military field, and a bunch of officers pushed Zhu Zhen to power again. Zhu Zhen really doesn't want to mutiny again, no matter whether he succeeds or not, he will definitely die thoroughly!

"Mr. Zhu, you are prestigious, everyone looks at you."

"This will definitely give Xi Shu some color, don't think that Wang Erlang's teacher dares to come nonsense!"

"Just kill Xi Shu, the matter is getting bigger, and the court has to send someone to appease him."

“……”

Faced with a knife and gun, Zhu Zhen had no choice but to harden his head and become the leader of the rebels. Immediately captured the city of Datong, with more than 10,000 soldiers, and was coerced by the officers to attack the left acropolis of Datong.

The left acropolis of Datong, more than 100 miles west of Datong Fucheng, belongs to the garrison of the deputy general army of Datong.

Xi Shu was afraid that there would be another mutiny and would be caught off guard by the rebels, so he led the Leopard Fang official army to be stationed in the Left Acropolis, and did not dare to live in the dangerous place of Datong Mansion City.

When the rebels came to the city, they had more than 20,000 people.

He rode out and shouted to the city: "Brother in the Left Acropolis, quickly open the city gate to welcome us in, and kill the corrupt official Xi Shu!" We haven't been paid for 14 years, so we all went to Beijing to make a salary together! ”

Hearing this, the local soldiers were ready to move, and the soldiers of the leopard house were like facing a great enemy.

Fourteen years without pay, it's true!

The Ming military salary is divided into three types: rations, monthly rations, and line rations.

Rations, as the name suggests, are food for subsistence and guarantee that soldiers will not starve to death.

Monthly salary, which can be understood as monthly wages.

Rations, military operations such as fighting, drilling, repairing borders, and preparing for the autumn invasion of the Mongols in autumn require additional rations to be distributed to soldiers.

Except for the soldiers of Datong who were close to the Great Wall, they could only receive rations and rations over the years, and they had never seen a grain of rice or a penny of monthly rations. I haven't received a monthly salary for 14 years, so how can there be so many people who don't obey in the event of a mutiny?

Zhu Houzhao also saw Xi Shu's second letter, and was so angry that he trembled, so he decided to fully support Wang Yuan to rectify the border affairs. The soldier who followed the emperor to fight the little Mongolian prince turned out to be a hungry soldier who did not receive a monthly salary for many years, how could the emperor not be angry?

Zhu Houzhao personally sat in the frontier back then, and asked Jiang Bin to check the number of soldiers and make up the salary, and he only repaid the monthly ration for half a year, and Jiang Bin and others were also greedy for some ink.

Xi Shu is in charge of rectifying Datong's border affairs, which is really stressful, how can he have the money to pay the officers and soldiers of the town back for 14 years?

After clearing the field, it can indeed attract some soldiers, but how can it be compared with the salary of 14 years!

Xi Shu called the local generals in the city and ordered: "Restrain their subordinates, but there are those who are rebellious and rebellious, if they can't solve the problem by themselves, then commit suicide to repay Your Majesty!" ”

Deputy Chief Soldier Li Jin hurriedly knelt on the ground: "If there is a poor pool, come and see me!" ”

That night, the left acropolis of Datong was on fire, and it was all junior officers who led troops to make trouble.

The conflict between the imperial court and the high-ranking military attaché Kiyota has been turned into a wage campaign by the mutiny. Although the high-ranking generals on the Datong side secretly provoked ꓹ, they fled at the beginning of the mutiny, and it will be difficult to punish ꓹ in the future, at most one charge of lax and dereliction of duty.

The city tower is equipped with a Taishi chair, Xi Shu sits on it with a sword, ignoring the fire in the city, and only letting his subordinates guard against the sneak attack of the rebel army outside the city.

In the middle of the night, the mutiny inside the city was finally quelled, and several night attacks by the rebels outside the city were also repulsed.

The next day, Xi Shu did not defend the city, but took the leopard soldiers out of the city to form a formation.

Of the six battalions of the leopard house, only two battalions were transferred, with a total of more than 8,000 people.

On the rebel side, although there are more than 20,000 troops, there is a serious shortage of middle and high-level officers. Even the leader Zhu Zhen was forced to come, and he didn't want to fight with the Central Army at all. As for those middle and high-level officers, after instigating the non-commissioned officers to mutiny, they fled as soon as possible, and they came back after the trouble.

Zhang Lun, the British prince who was sprayed in public by the grass and mud horse, was the leading general sent by the emperor.

Zhang Lun didn't know how to fight at all, so he just put on a name, the real commander of the army was Pan Gui - among the 6,000 soldiers personally trained by Wang Yuan back then, Pan Gui is now the highest, and he is already the commander of the Zhengsanpin Jingwei.

"General Pan, you are in command." Zhang Lun was quite apprehensive, 8,000 against 20,000 was too scary.

Under the command of Pan Gui, the flag commander waved the command flag, and more than 8,000 people quickly formed a formation.

The chariot corps was in front, and the soldiers pushed the wheelbarrow slowly. These wheelbarrows have sturdy planks to resist arrows fired from the front, and they also have a number of built-in horseback devices that can be disassembled and assembled at any time to form a horse-repelling formation.

After the chariot soldiers, there were pikemen and sword and shield soldiers.

The spear was more than three meters long, and together with the sword and shield men, it protected the chariot soldiers.

Then there are the musketeers and archers, who hide inside and can gather and shoot at any time.

Then there was artillery, which was protected by cavalry, reserves.

"Boom, boom!"

The Franco's cannon met in a volley, and the rebels on the opposite side did not bring artillery, so they could only carry it and charge in advance.

"Gunners and archers come forward! Cavalry flanks ready! Pan Gui drank the order.

The flag commander immediately waved the flag, and the musketeers and archers stepped forward to shoot. The casualties caused to the enemy were not large when the two salvos were fired, but the chaotic army lacked a smooth command system, and the formation instantly became chaotic, and from time to time small groups of local troops broke and fled.

"Kill!"

Zheng Hu, a martial artist who can use a hundred catties of broadswords, rode out with a mace and led the cavalry to attack the flank of the chaotic army.

Needless to say, the Central Army won completely.

There were 20,000 rebels, more than 1,000 killed and wounded, more than 8,000 captured, and all the others scattered in the wilderness.

Li Jin, the deputy chief soldier of Datong, looked stupid when he stood on the city tower, and he no longer dared to have the slightest intention of making trouble.

Xi Shu, who successfully suppressed the mutiny, frowned and did not have the slightest joy.

Datong is a mess, and the next year or two will be enough for him to keep busy.

Datong Town and Liaodong Town are both one of the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty, but the actual situation is very different.

Let's put it this way, although the guard system in Datong Town still exists, the battalion soldiers account for at least half of it. That is, Liaodong is dominated by the guard system, and the guard post and garrison system in Datong are mixed.

Historically, due to the repeated outbreak of the Datong Mutiny in the Jiajing Dynasty, Datong Town was simply fully converted into a garrison system - the guards only needed to farm the land, and they were completely reduced to serfs. The officers of the guard retained hereditary status, but were judged by their combat ranks. Military units no longer talk about guards, but only about cities, forts, piers, and battalions, and the elite troops are all recruited from them.

This change began to intensify during the Orthodox period, because the guards were unable to resist the Mongol invasion, and had to gradually switch to a conscription system.

It seems to be a kind of military progress, but there are too many helpless operations!

First of all, regular wages were in arrears all year round, and only rations and wartime subsidies were paid. Second, once the war was less tense, a large number of recruited soldiers were eliminated in order to reduce the maintenance cost of the imperial army. Thirdly, recruiting troops is more conducive to the military generals to eat empty salaries, so that the imperial court does not know how many soldiers there are in Datong.

Xi Shu not only wanted to suppress it by force and clean up the entire military field in Datong. Then you have to clean up the troops, which is more complicated than Qingtian, and can offend all the local generals.

Xi Shu, the governor of the three sides, did not dare to leave the barracks at all, and he had to lead troops to protect him wherever he went, otherwise he would definitely die.

What's even more terrifying is that in case the Mongols invade the south, they can only lead their own troops to the top. The local generals don't need to take the opportunity to retaliate, as long as they don't move, once the Mongol army causes a catastrophe, the imperial court is likely to punish Xi Shu and send him to prison!

Although Wang Yuan transferred two battalions of leopard soldiers to help, the wives and children of these soldiers were all in the capital. It's okay to stay in the same year for a year, but if it's too long, you will definitely want to return. Moreover, these two battalions have a high proportion of firearms, and the cost of military pay and maintenance is also high, and throwing them in Datong for a long time will cause countless criticisms.

Xi Shu must strive to completely complete the clearing of fields and troops in the entire Datong Town within a year and a half, and he must also take the time to suppress the mutiny, and he must take the time to take the lead in the event of a Mongol invasion.

And the logistics of the army is also a problem, and the logistics officers are the targets of Xi Shu's attack, and these guys will definitely drag their feet at a critical moment!

Xi Shu thought about it and decided not to clear the field first, and then talk about turning the Shanxi Xingdu Division over.

The administrative office of Shanxi Xingdu Division is in the city of Datongfu. In these two mutinies, the officials of the capital department fled, and they could take the opportunity to check the accounts.

Xi Shu led the troops to control Datong City, and directly sealed the treasury and accounts of the Xingdu Division. First, two months' monthly rations were paid back to buy ordinary soldiers, and then the accounts were audited, and more than 30 military attachés of the capital were impeached in one go.

Wang Yuan actively cooperated in the capital, united with Wang Qiong's territory of the military department, and transferred new officials from other places.

As soon as he pressed the Shanxi Xingdu Division, Xi Shu met the big tiger again.

Clan, acting king Zhu Juncane!

Datong's military salaries, grain and grass are partly solved by themselves, partly by private enterprises, and partly by Beijing transportation.

During the Zhengde period, the proportion of Beijing transportation was very small, and most of it was solved by local tuntian and democracy movements. The democracy movement was secretly manipulated by the nobles and eunuchs, and the acting king who was entrenched in Datong was the number one force, and the acting king also invaded countless military fields.

Xi Shu ordered a complete clearing of the field, although he did not attack the acting king for the time being, but it also made the acting king's heart tremble. Moreover, many local military attaches also secretly colluded with the acting king, and the acting king naturally wanted to vent his anger at them.

After Xi Shu took out the grain and grass from the treasury of the Xingdu Division and used it to replenish the monthly rations of the soldiers, the democracy movement was suddenly secretly stuck by the acting king.

If this matter cannot be resolved, I am afraid that it will be difficult to distribute the rations of the officers and men of the whole town, and all efforts will be in vain.

Xi Shu was as anxious as an ant in a hot pot, and even wanted to beat the acting king hard.

God has eyes, and at this moment, the acting king Zhu Junzhu suddenly fell ill and died. The son Zhu Chongyao is young, and it will take another three years to become the heir, and Xi Shu is fully capable of suppressing the orphan and widow.

Successfully opened the joints of the palace of the Daiwang, Xi Shu has made Datong "boiling with public resentment", and countless impeachment recitals floated to the capital like snowflakes, if it were not for Wang Yuan to carry it, it would not have been carried out at all.

Then, the Mongol deputy Khan Ji Nang came and went straight to the city of Datong with an army of 60,000. Along the way, the generals all defended the city to protect themselves, and saw the Mongolian army go to fight with Xi Shu, they wanted Datong to be directly captured by the Mongols, not to mention Wang Yuan, even the emperor could not keep Xi Shu.

Governor Xi, it's too difficult!

It is simply difficult to rectify Datong's military affairs.

Internal troubles, external enemies, eunuchs, clans, logistics, and accumulation...... All kinds of circumstances smashed over, if it weren't for Wang Yuan and Yang Tinghe reaching a political deal, Xi Shu wouldn't have wanted to stay in Datong for half a year.
