Chapter 313: Migration

The Zhou guerrilla army was ten miles outside Linyi City, so in the middle of the war, a group of cavalry wearing official uniforms deceived the Ming army defending the city and opened the city gates, and then the situation became out of control.

The fall of Linyi City in the rear collapsed the morale of the army fighting in front, and the main force of the Zhou guerrilla army collapsed, and the defenders who fought hard in the city unintentionally collapsed quickly, and the King of Jing, who had disappeared for a few months, reappeared in Linyi City, and the people of Linyi did not think that it was King Jing who brought the military disaster.

On the contrary, it is the Ming official army that hates the pursuit of the sword, of course, the destruction and wanton behavior caused by these troops in the city is indeed hateful, the last time the sword department entered the city, it only looted the treasury, the people were not moved, and the bandits of the White Lotus Sect were in turmoil first.

Therefore, these people generally think that Wen Dao entering the city is just that the city gate is open, and the nearby bandits come to pick a bargain, and the king of Jing was taken captive, I don't know when there was such a version: it is said that King Jing's family got a secret report, and that it is that Jinyiwei is going to be arrested, and the chivalrous Wen Dao has always known the virtue and politics of King Jing, so he entered the city overnight to rescue, and then all kinds of things are like a book of commentary.

Now all kinds of shady forces in the ten miles and eight towns around Linyi are bowing down to Wendao, and now they want to have any rumors, there are rumors.

At this time, the surrounding county towns suddenly discovered that the sword bandit army was not only close to a thousand or so horse teams as rumored in advance, but a horse team of nearly 2,000, and 3,000 foot soldiers, all of whom seemed to be old soldiers, plus the young and strong people who were coerced by Liu Shisan's chaotic army.

There were nearly 20,000 soldiers under King Jing at once, and now most of the officers and soldiers are in the area of Nanzhili and in the Yimeng Mountains, there is a temporary vacuum near Linyi, and the Ming army who went out to search for bandits, most of them were placed in Linyi City, and this time they were all taken by the rebels.

And all the troops with combat effectiveness in this vicinity were basically defeated by Liu Shisan's subordinates and Wen Dao's men, indicating that the army composed of rebellious people is not a rabble in the ordinary sense, it is actually quite brave, this time, the guards of Xuzhou and Henan are a little timid, not to mention the local soldiers and horses in Shandong, Chen Deaf's rebellion, as well as all kinds of things back then, have not recovered their combat effectiveness until now, let alone suppress bandits, speaking of which, The Shandong guerrilla Jiang Feng, who was dismissed, had an army that dared to fight.

The crux of the matter is that the reason why this great chaos has started is because of the reduction of the Jiang army's soldiers and horses, and now that more than 10,000 people have been reduced to more than 2,000 people, what combat strength will there be.

More than a dozen prefectures and counties around Linyi were soon taken down by Liu Shisan and Wendao's subordinates, and the soldiers and horses in Yimeng Mountain and Nanzhili did not dare to go to Yanzhou to rescue rashly, so they simply stood in place and waited for the order of the imperial court. Since King Jing's public appearance in Linyi, and the army of the rebellious people achieved such results, at least the minds of the gentry around Lunan have changed subtly.

In addition, although the name of the rebel army is with a garbled word, it is really after occupying the county seat, what it does is not unscrupulous destruction, of course, there are still such things as recruiting soldiers and grain and grass, and using labor to build city defense roads, but compared to the Ming army stationed some time ago, it is not much worse.

Wendao and Liu 13 were named by King Jing as the governor of the military department and the Chinese army, anyway, no one knows whether it was the king of Jing himself, often the document wrote out the will, and took the golden seal of the king of Jing to cover it, and the first military action after entrenching in Linyi City was to open Haikou to the east.

Two thousand cavalry rushed to attack Shijiuwei overnight, and under the cooperation of the pirates at sea, the four thousand soldiers of Shijiuwei were defeated in one day, and they abandoned and fled before they could engage in battle. Now the Lunan rebel army has completely occupied the territory of southeast Lu, in addition to Linyi and other strategic points, it also occupies the stone mortar that the salt field and the port have, and now it has a momentum.

After entering the cold winter, whether it is the raising of military rations or the transfer of troops, it is a matter of more than worth the loss, although the documents and orders of the Beijing Division and the military department are coming down one by one, but seeing that King Jing's army has not made any big moves, that is, it is temporarily quiet, preparing to fight at the beginning of spring, so now Lunan is actually in silence, but everyone knows that this quiet will not last for a month.

Jiang Feng returned to Dengzhou in November, and now there are only 2,000 veterans in Dengzhou, and the original 12,000 Jiang Jiajun and 8,000 people are now near Incheon in North Korea, where the city and fortifications have been built on a certain scale after tens of thousands of laborers have been killed and wounded.

With the nearly 100 large and small artillery pieces in Shangdengzhou, there should be no problem with the defense, and with the cooperation of the current Baeksanjun Li Rengong in North Korea, in addition to the grain stored by Kim Jong-go's so-called Shilin faction who was 'exiled' to the bitter cold land, as well as the grain accumulated in various large estates for many years, a lot of them have been looted.

Although the country of North Korea is poor, but there are quite a few stocks among the big private families, Zhang Liang Luoyi and Yang Shi are in charge of defense in North Korea, and Yang Da is the only senior officer in Dengzhou here, Incheon itself is a deep-water port, so Jiang Feng's fleet docked there in better conditions than Dengzhou, and Shunfeng and most of the armed gunboats are placed there.

At present, there are four armed merchant ships moored in the private harbor of Yantai Mountain Qianhu, and there are five classes of sailors in these four ships to ensure that there are people on board to set off at any time.

The men of the Lin family on Lin Jia Island have been busy on the ships of Jiang Feng Dengzhou for a long time, and this time Jiang Feng also issued an order that the rest of the Lin family must move to Incheon, North Korea, except for the necessary people left behind.

According to the usual rules, Liu Fangrui and the Su sisters are now living in the Qianhu House in Yantai Mountain, and the current situation is that officials at all levels in Shandong and even officials in Beijing are no longer willing to pay attention to Jiang Feng, and the current major event is the rebellion of King Jing in Lunan.

There is already a more official name, called Lu Wei.

Speaking of which, the business of Cuiyulou has been sold to other businessmen, Jiang Feng is now gradually withdrawing from Shandong's private salt, and after 12 years of Jiajing, Jiang Feng assured Huang Ping that he will not interfere with Shandong's private salt, and all the quotas and benefits will be distributed by him.

Of course, Huang Ping gladly accepted, which also shows the mentality of these people, although it is said that there are a large number of fleeing refugees in various states and counties, but there is no panic or confusion in the hearts of the magistrates and big businessmen, they are able to make a very clear judgment on the situation.

The so-called King Jing rebellion may not be completely resolved for a long time, it may be that Liu Shisan and Wen Dao's soldiers and horses are very strong, but these people are at best the territory of more than a dozen states and counties, and twenty or thirty thousand thieves. Although it is not a peaceful and prosperous era now, there is no major turmoil, and this part of Shandong is chaotic, which will not touch the overall situation at all.

Huang Ping even planned to do it himself after Jiang Feng got rid of this private salt market. After Xia Cuiyu sold the restaurant, he lived in Jiangfeng's Yantai Mountain Thousand Households, after the Xia family was occupied by Xia Qingjiao, Xia Qingjiao became more and more powerful on the sea in the south, and the Xia family was also a brave and warlike wolf, and the Xia family was also a strong man at sea for many years.

Xia Cuiyu asked Jiang Feng many times when she would avenge her father's murder, but Jiang Feng did not give a definite time, and this originally hot girl became more and more silent.

In addition to practicing with the soldiers in the school field at the foot of the mountain every morning, Jiang Feng spent the afternoon in the dock fort of the Thousand Households in Yantai Mountain, checking the progress of income and expenditure with Zhao Xiucai, and discussing the next actions with Liu Shisan, which was no longer a matter of rest and leisure.

At this time, it was almost approaching the end of the year, this was the fifth year that Jiang Feng came to the Ming Dynasty, but on the Qianhu Office of Yantai Mountain, there was no atmosphere of the New Year's Pass here, and in the Qianhu Office, there were either craftsmen with hurried expressions or guards and officers with guarded faces.

In the conference hall, Zhao Xiucai and Liu Twelve were both staying at the bottom of Jiang Feng, behind Jiang Feng there was a screen, but behind the screen was sitting Su Guanyue, speaking of which, Zhao Xiucai was also in the small mansion of the Beijing Division, and saw Su Guanyue, at that time, a group of people were respectfully called 'master mother', of course, now they also know that the account book that can only come from the hands of the household officials is the girl behind the screen.

So let's discuss the issue of financial revenue and expenditure here, Zhao Xiucai and Liu Twelve don't have any disrespectful thoughts, but the woman of the head of the family sits on the top, and these two people don't dare to raise their heads down, even if they look up, they can't see what is behind the screen.

"Now most of the old artisan families are willing to go to North Korea, and there are dozens of families who are unwilling, and their children are not working in the camp."

"Are the craftsmen and workshops in the Franc machine all transferred?"

"Everything that can be walked is gone, and now there are still two gunboats of about 300 tons still under construction, and everything can't be moved, but it is said that it will be almost completed in February next year!"

"In February next year, we still have this time, as for those old craftsmen who don't want to go, tie them all up to me on a boat and take them to North Korea!"
