Chapter 562: Chaos White Lotus

In Wudi County, Dezhou Prefecture, 5,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Baoding nearby got a tip, saying that a large number of rebels were preparing to attack Dezhou Mansion, and the current tax supervisors in the southern provinces of Beizhili were either killed by the chaos, or they ran to the vicinity of Beijing under the heavy guard, only the Shandong provinces have repeatedly become chaotic, whether they are officials or soldiers, they are very experienced in dealing with this kind of turmoil, and the number of cotton gentry in Shandong is much worse than that of Beizhili Henan, and they are more close to the industrial and commercial industry in the south of the Yangtze River.

So several times of chaos are in the first sign of the beginning, it was suppressed, for the helmsman of Bailian in various places, is it not to capture the government, how many believers have been obtained, this is a major matter related to the promotion and status of the church, looking at the chaos in Beizhili, the momentum is so big, but Shandong is quiet, many people are unwilling, some people finally said that the ringing horse of Beizhili is ready to attack the Dezhou Mansion.

It is regarded as the land route from Beizhili to Shandong, and if you take this place, the gateway to Shandong will be opened.

The 5,000 Baoding soldiers and horses stationed in Wudi did not take the chaotic people into their eyes at all, they always looked down on the Tongzhou Guard, felt that it was too rich there, and the people were all rotten, and the soldiers could not fight at all.

If this chaos and the people are strong, why is it that only one prefecture in Cangzhou has been defeated so far, and after the reinforcements of the guards of Beizhili arrived, they were withdrawn. After receiving the news that the horse team of the rebellious people was coming to attack, the generals of the 5,000 soldiers in Baoding prepared to go out of the city to set up an ambush, take the opponent by surprise, and make a great military achievement.

When Shandong arrived at the boundary of Dezhou, the original hilly landform began to become a plain and the land of Beizhili was connected, and it was difficult to keep any secrets about the movement of the troops.

However, the garrison officers of Baoding Ping's chaotic soldiers and horses also knew this, and he was not worried, if he was discovered, he would turn the ambush battle into an encounter battle, and it was okay for the chaotic army and people to make a surprise attack.

Sure enough, as he expected, the ambush battle turned into an encounter, and the five thousand Baoding soldiers and horses fifty miles out of the city were at the ambush site, and the forwards of the two sides found each other. At this time, the sky was already dark, and since this was the case, the garrison of Baoding directly set up a large camp and waited until the next day to fight again.

Careful defense at night, the rebels may know that they can't take advantage of it, and they don't sneak attack in the middle of the night, but they also camp decently.

The next day, the two sides actually set up a position like the regular army to confront each other between the camps, the generals of the Baoding Ping Rebellion almost could see that the victory was just around the corner, but they did not expect that the impact of the ringing horse would be so orderly, first the archers on horseback reached a distance of about 100 paces, and the officers and soldiers shot a few rounds, these horses actually have the big bow of the Mongolian Tartars, the range is far and powerful, and they actually shot into the queue, and the officers and soldiers standing in the back row did not think of this at all, and did not have time to raise their shields. I've already been shot a lot.

The helpless officers and soldiers had no choice but to retreat, and at this time the first wave of the horses came to the battle, and the flat end of the eight-foot wooden guns, two hundred horsemen, in a column, lined up in three columns, slowly rushed under the rhythm of gongs and drums.

I originally thought that the other party was rushing aimlessly, but I didn't expect that it was completely the Mongols' rushing formation, and the dejected officers and soldiers who were shot by bows and arrows were already completely chaotic, and they simply did not have enough will to resist the other party's rushing formation.

In the evening, the garrison of the Baoding Ping rebel army gathered more than 300 soldiers and fled into the county seat of Wudi. The documents and the situation of the war reported by the local government were all mentioned with oath, and it was suspected that there were Tartars among the rioters.

Similarly, the rebels in Beizhili took the initiative to attack the soldiers and horses of Jizhen, and the soldiers of the border towns were naturally strong, but the rebels fought in a very orderly manner, relying on the mobility of the horse team, attacking in a loop, so that the opponent's soldiers were exhausted, and when they were a little relaxed, they gave the opponent a fatal blow.

Although the soldiers and horses of Jizhen did not break up, but they were also defeated step by step to Tongzhou, relying on the surrounding guards and troops, so that the chaotic people did not dare to attack excessively, Jizhen fought with the Mongols a lot of times when it was at the border, and found that the tactics of these ringing horses and the elite soldiers of the Tartars were almost the same, although they were not so good in details, but the horses were familiar with the terrain, and the supply was easy to achieve a very close effect.

Among the people who have Tartars, this turmoil must be related to the Tartars, almost all of them say so.

The chaotic people this time are indeed confusing, their troops are not inferior to the officers and soldiers, but they never go to capture the county seats, but they just come and go like the wind to harass and attack, looting materials.

The rout of the two reinforcements, the imperial court finally felt a little troublesome, so it decided to send 10,000 soldiers from the Beijing camp and 10,000 soldiers from Liaozhen to continue to strictly suppress it, because this matter suddenly involved the Tartars, except for Liaozhen, which has the most abundant troops, other border towns can no longer draw troops and horses, and must be guarded against outside the pass, of course, Jiajing does not have the idea of weakening some strong towns, and I am not sure.

This matter, since there was no capture of the prefecture and county, but only the resistance to tax and civil rebellion, although the local area is anxious, but reflected in the situation in the center, it will never make people feel nervous, the tax supervisor has been sent out of the country with gifts, and the officers and soldiers of their own guard station escorted them back to Beijing.

The taxes and treasury of the imperial court have been enriched a lot by the looting of the previous period of time, but at this time the headache is the place, the tax supervisor patted his ass and left, but the local government can not even collect the normal taxes, and the yamen officials at all levels also need money to operate, and they can't make money, not only the officers and soldiers have to make trouble, but even the officials and the clerks have to make trouble, and even the magistrates themselves are lazy, and they are only for money, and now they can't get the money, what is the point.

However, the cotton gentry are the most troublesome group of people, they did not expect that the current situation has been completely out of their control, it is true that the tax supervisors can no longer stay in the three northern provinces, but without the tax collectors, the cotton gentry can not carry out cotton planting and selling cotton now.

In the fields, today the horses are roaring, tomorrow the officers and soldiers are roaring, where is there anyone who dares to plant in the fields?

The cotton gentry want to quit, but the military power of the White Lotus Sect firmly controls the countryside, this time they don't do anything to pray to God and worship the Buddha, just accumulate strength in the countryside, control Dingkou, and look like they want to do a lot of work, the cotton gentry also want to get rich, but they didn't expect to make such a fuss, not to mention that the big cotton gentry held such and such positions in the White Lotus Sect some time ago.

At that time, I was asking for convenience, but I didn't expect that at this time, it would become a shackle on my body, and the White Lotus Sect was a monster that was no less vicious than the tax supervisor.

The White Lotus helmsman who originally proposed to connect the cotton gentry, surnamed Liu, is called Liu Boshun, and now he is the leader of Shandong Xiangtang, this position is already extremely high, especially for a person who joins the White Lotus halfway, this is the apex, and then it is the territory of the big man of the White Lotus Sect and the son of the family.

In particular, the position of the sect leader can only be hereditary, and there are a few incense halls that do not govern the place, although there is no territory, but the status in the sect is noble, it can be said that these people are the real core, when the White Lotus Sect is at a low ebb, these people do not come out, anyway, the money they have accumulated is already enough, and it is also a good choice to enjoy wealth and wealth.

But now that the situation has opened, seeing that the situation is much better than before, the army of the imperial court has been defeated one by one, and its prestige has been greatly enhanced, and many small sects that have separated are taking the initiative to return to Maitreya's seat.

Although the three northern provinces are now making a lot of trouble, but in Luoyang is still a scene of singing and dancing, there has always been a heavy garrison here, and there is no need to worry about the attack of the chaotic people, but this is also the location of the White Lotus Sect's rudder, everyone thinks it is in Shandong, but they don't know that the sect leader of this generation Jing Shou is unwilling to endure hardships, but he is willing to settle down in this prosperous place, but in this place everyone knows that there is a Jin Da member from Shandong, which is the pseudonym of Jing Keshou.

Today, there was a big banquet in the house outside the Jin Dayuan, saying that it was to celebrate his wife's birthday, and there were really a lot of guests from the south and the south of the sea on this day.

Liu Boshun was also dressed as an outsider, followed by several small people, with gifts to congratulate, read the post, the servants at the door nodded and greeted in, the guests of the banquet in the courtyard did not stay, went directly to the inner hall, brought into the inner hall, but found that there was only one table in the room, and there were ten people sitting around the table, Liu Boshun looked at it, and did not dare to slack off, the people inside were the top personnel of the White Lotus Sect, the sect leader and the incense masters of each incense hall, and hurriedly greeted the ceremony, The seat left for Liu Boshun happened to be the lowest position.

Speaking of seniority, it is true that Liu Boshun is at the end, but when it comes to credit, he has to sit at the top, because this situation is almost made by him alone. Looking at this scene, he was silent on the surface, but secretly sneered in his heart:

"If something big doesn't work, do you want to take the credit?"
