Chapter 235: Paying Attention to Harmony and Actually Not Going Far
In an instant, the seemingly calm six prefectures of Shandong immediately became chaotic, although Dongchang Mansion and Yanzhou Mansion are only two of the six prefectures in Shandong, but they occupy three-fifths of the territory of Shandong Province.
The rebels attacked the local gentry and wealthy families one after another, besieging the county seat. There are those who are under the banner of Liu Liu Liu, the white-clothed divine soldier of the year, some are descendants of Zhao Song, and some are known as descendants of Chen Youliang. The White Lotus alone has the three banners of Buddha Mother Tang Sai'er, Zhao Wuzu, and Li Tianjun. The funniest thing is that there is also a claim to be a descendant of Jianwen near Weishan near Nanzhili, who gathered more than 300 people and took the lead in becoming emperor.
No matter how chaotic it is, the comparison of strength is already clear at a glance, and the "Pingtian General" Chen Deaf, who is the most powerful and acts in a more disciplined manner, is the biggest force. People from all walks of life have gathered under his banner, and now with Mengxian as a stronghold, he has captured six county seats.
Even the White Lotus Sect has already added the name of Buddha to Chen Deaf, and the officers and soldiers who came to exterminate them all belong to the normal training level of the Ming Dynasty, which means that it is very useless. It is often encountered with Chen Deaf's army, and Chen Deaf's horse team rushes over and slashes and kills, and immediately rasses.
Yanzhou had nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses from the Five Guards, but they were all defeated by Chen Deaf's "Pingtian Divine Soldiers", and they were extremely majestic for a while.
Chen Deaf has changed his initial panic and confusion, but is quite full of ambition. Now several of his main old brothers have been given titles such as generals and scholars, and they are guarded in the six counties they have conquered. If it weren't for Wen Dao's suggestion that he first organize his army to besiege Zhenyang City and fully occupy Yanzhou, he would have been preparing to claim the throne in Mengxian County.
Wen Dao, as the person Chen Deaf relied on the most, was the most calm this time, first gathered all the horses and strong men who could be used in various counties, counting the more than 500 people who could fight in the past, it was actually a cavalry of more than 1,500 people who were put together, and they were basically issued weapons.
In addition, there are more than 5,000 young and strong soldiers as the core, plus more than 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers, which are also powerful and quite amazing.
Shandong rebelled and rebelled with tens of thousands of troops, capturing more than 20 county seats, in addition to the six county towns controlled by Chen Deaf, there were also county towns controlled by various forces.
There are only two cities left in Yanzhou Prefecture, Zhenyang and Jining, and more than 20,000 officers and soldiers have been beaten by the anti-thieves, and more than a dozen hundred households and six or seven thousand households have died.
Speaking of which, the six departments of Nanjing have the military department Shangshu, the town guard eunuch, the Nanjing garrison and the Zuodu Governor's Mansion, and the transfer of troops can already complete the procedures without going through the Beijing division, of course, there must be a record afterwards. But everyone knows that the private transfer of troops and horses is the most taboo thing.
Emperor Jiajing can't tolerate the people below to do this kind of thing, although Nanzhili is the closest to Lunan, but the bigwigs in Nanjing combined, first put the soldiers and horses between Fengyang and Nanjing. As long as it is the will of the imperial court, it can also be deployed to attack at any time, if the will of the imperial court does not come down, the defense of the 50,000 army is more than enough, and here is also known as the world's elite soldiers.
The rebellion in Shandong immediately shocked the imperial court, and Emperor Jiajing, who was watching the handling of the celebrant and eunuch behind the scenes, finally couldn't sit still, no matter what Chen Deaf's name was. He captured the county seat, called himself the general of Pingtian, set up the Pingtian Divine Army, and the elite under his command were all cavalry. And quickly captured six county seats, it seems that there is still the possibility of continued development, this kind of signs are too similar to the white-clothed Liu Liuliu Liu Qimahu more than ten years ago.
What's more, there are also small forces in the local area that have played the banner of Liu Liu and Liu Qi, and the magistrate will not carefully distinguish between Chen Deaf and the Liu family, just report it.
More than ten years ago, the rebellion of the white-clothed gods and horses, although they did not capture any big cities from beginning to end, they just relied on the excitement of the horses, coming and going like the wind. But the Ming Dynasty has been established for so long, and the civil rebellion is the biggest one. After Emperor Zhengde killed Liu Liu's brothers, he stripped off Liu Liu's skin as a saddle.
It can be seen how taboo these things are, and after the government and the opposition received the 800-mile expedited in Shandong today, they are all talking, is this a repetition of the white-clothed divine soldiers?
This time, no one watched Luo Jing and Zhang Zhinian's jokes, and now Mongolia is already going back to lick its wounds, so all the troops who are transferred out of the province to support the nine sides are all to return to the garrison to be strictly guarded to prevent local people from being ready to move.
The troops that had been transferred from Shandong immediately returned to quell the rebellion, and everything was to be prioritized in this matter. The old guys in the military department and the governor's mansion naturally knew that the local guards and those so-called "soldiers" might not be able to fight, and it was normal to be defeated by thieves, so they had already ordered the troops of Datong and Jizhen on the nine sides and the camp in Beijing to prepare and go south to Shandong at any time.
Shandong was in turmoil, and all prefectures and counties were all in a tight position, and the government officials and the people and strong nursing homes of big and wealthy families formed a team, patrolling day and night, and did not dare to relax at all. There is a slight disturbance that will be dealt with severely. In general, it is rumored, and now it is almost the New Year, but I can't see a little festive atmosphere.
Only Dengzhou Mansion is business as usual, Wang Zhifu has not known whether to be bitter or laughing for the past few days, Jiang Feng left with his soldiers, although it was two hundred people left. But it's a big deal not to offend Jiang Fu, other places are still rampant by themselves, but I didn't expect that Jiang Feng was from the military households of Dengzhou Zuowei, one ding per household, and gathered 2,000 people to pull out.
This is not to say what is wrong, Jiang Feng is the commander of the Dengzhou Left Guard, and military households have the obligation to be soldiers, one soldier per household, and this has always been the case in the world. Then the 2,000 Dengzhou battalion soldiers under Jiang Feng were stationed in the original place in the name of the family, and they did not move at all.
After the prefect Wang knew this fact, he originally wanted to take a sedan chair around the city of Dengzhou Mansion to show the prestige of the prefect who was already good and did not show off, but when he heard that the two thousand tigers and wolves were still stationed outside the city and did not move at all, he suddenly shrank back with a wry smile. But in the days that followed, it was his turn to laugh.
The chaos in Yanzhou, Dengzhou naturally wants to fish in troubled waters, but don't say that it is suppressed by the soldiers nearby, the officials and people of Dengzhou Mansion are extremely fierce, they have the bottom in their hearts, we can't beat it, but behind is the group of blood-drinking demons, what are we afraid of.
Everything is as usual in Dengzhou Mansion, the officials and gentry, the people and military households have spent the Spring Festival with peace of mind, and the Wang Governor's Mansion is also proud in his heart, knowing that this can be regarded as his own appeasement of the place, and there will be good things waiting for him in the school examination.
Jiang Feng led 2,000 guards to march on the 29th day of the lunar month, and only left Dengzhou 120 miles on the third day of the first lunar month.
On the third day of the first lunar month, after getting up late in the morning and walking for more than ten miles, Jiang Feng ordered to camp and rest. In his own military tent, the only people he trusted were Liu Twelve and Yang Da. The rest of the people were leading the mission of the Dengzhou battalion in Dengzhou, and the three of them gathered around a fireplace.
Yang Da added some charcoal fire to the stove, and said in a hurry:
"The official document of the imperial court should have come down a long time ago, even if it is necessary to go through a survey in Dengzhou, it should have arrived!"
Hearing Yang Da's words, Jiang Feng picked up the wine jug on the edge of the stove, took a sip, and said a little anxiously:
"If you don't come, you will be in a hurry, Lao Tzu is now a fast horse and lead the troops to quell the rebellion, no one can say that I am not, and it is a big deal to send more silver out afterwards."
Liu Twelve was sitting in a wooden wheelchair, surrounded by a thick mink fur, he was originally thin and needed to keep warm, and when he heard Jiang Feng's words, he laughed a few times there:
"Don't worry, now the imperial court has no time to mobilize soldiers and horses from all directions, the soldiers and horses near the Beijing division can't be easily mobilized, so they can only use local strong soldiers, those horse teams under Chen Deaf, looking at the southeast of Shandong, there is really nothing that can be defeated calmly."
Yang Da laughed on the side, and said to Jiang Feng and Liu Twelve:
"Chen Deaf's bear bags are so majestic, haha......"
As if he had suddenly remembered, Liu Twelve took out a letter there and said with a smile:
"Yesterday, my cousin under Chen Deaf sent me a letter, saying that he had never thought of such a straw bag for Shandong soldiers and horses, so it was better to slaughter Chen Deaf and let me and Thirteen go to take charge of the ......."
Hearing this, Yang Da's face changed, and he desperately glanced at Liu Twelve, this kind of sensitive words were said at this time, it was indeed quite awkward, Jiang Feng raised his head and poured a big sip of wine, put down the wine jug and let out a long breath, and scolded Liu Twelve:
"I know that your kid is loyal to me, and this kind of statement is too fake, who is fooled?"
Liu Twelve's face turned red and coughed dryly, Yang Da breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that both sides understood people. Jiang Feng didn't have any expression on his face, and he also knew in his heart that at such a season, Liu Twelve himself was also careful, for fear that his sensitive identity would be suspected by Jiang Feng.
To be honest, Liu Twelve's statement did make Jiang Feng more trusting in his heart, and at this time, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded outside, and listening to the direction, it happened to be rushing in the direction of the military tent. Almost by the time the horse's hooves sounded, the outside of the tent was already surrounded by dozens of guards from the Dengzhou camp.
Jiang Feng picked up the knife, the sound of horses' hooves outside stopped in front of the tent, and a person ran in panting, handed the official document in his hand to Jiang Feng, and hurriedly said with a pant: "The urgent document of the military department and the Shandong Command Embassy, Lord Jiang should check it." ”
After taking the document and looking at it, the corners of Jiang Feng's mouth rose, and he suddenly shouted loudly outside:
"Order, march back to Dengzhou Mansion in a hurry, let's go to Yanzhou to quell the rebellion!!"
