Chapter 346: Steamed Buns, Disaster Victims, Righteous Army

Since Wang Zheng succeeded to the Shandong General Army, the Liufu Realm has been calm, although small things have happened from time to time, but in general it is still peaceful in all directions.

In June, Li Qingshan, a fisherman in Shouchun County, led the people to revolt and besieged the county seat with great momentum.

Although Li Qingshan gathered thousands of victims, Yang Han, the general of the Shandong Army stationed in Shouchun, repeatedly warned to no avail, so he urgently asked for help on the one hand, and defended the city on the other.

Although most of the other party knew each other, the soldiers did not say any feelings, and killed nearly 1,000 rebels to protect the city.

The loss of Cao Yun was a huge loss to both the imperial court and the Shandong army, and it could not be delayed for a day, so it immediately attracted the attention of the Marshal of the Shandong Army.

After receiving the order of the imperial court, Wang Zheng, the general of the Shandong army, ordered Lu Jingrong, the chief general of the Shandong army stationed in Qingzhou Mansion, to take charge of the encirclement and suppression of Li Qingshan's troops for one month.

About the third day after Li Qingshan launched the uprising, the general army order from Licheng came to Qingzhou Mansion, and Lu Jingrong felt that the situation was urgent, and summoned all the regular barracks officers of the Shandong Army in Qingzhou Mansion overnight.

After discussing with the prefecture, the strategy of encircling and suppressing on three sides and forcing the enemy into the sea was finally decided.

First of all, the main general Lu Jingrong led three main barracks from Fucheng and attacked to the north, and Le'an defended the regular soldiers who were close to several counties and towns, with a total of about two battalions approaching to the east.

At the same time, Liu Xiongtun, the chief soldier of Laizhou Prefecture, set up checkpoints in the areas of Gaomi, Weixian, and Yu'er Town, and set up checkpoints on various official roads and roads from Qingzhou Mansion to Laizhou Mansion to guard against stubborn defense.

The two prefectures of Qingzhou and Laizhou in Shandong were suddenly under martial law, and there was a scene of turbulence and change, and the streets were full of the sound of clattering armor, and there were constantly regular soldiers wearing helmets and armor and holding swords and guns passing by.

Of course, before carrying out the encirclement and suppression of the rebels, Lu Jingrong first found someone to understand the cause of the incident.

It is said that Li Qingshan has a good reputation in the local area, and he is bold and helpful, but this time it is because he took in a disaster victim, and the disaster victim owes a lot of silver taels to a large family surnamed Qi in Shouchun.

Li Qingshan didn't pay it back, saying that he used the monthly money of the farm to pay it back on a monthly basis, but he was ridiculed and bullied by the big family surnamed Qi, and the Qi family didn't listen, and directly sent someone to collect the arrears three days later.

But Li Qingshan couldn't exchange this huge amount of money at all, the two parties had a dispute, Li Qingshan accidentally beat the other party's account office to death, and scared away the rest of the domestic servants, and was worried about retaliation afterwards, which was a desperate move.

Compared with now, Li Qingshan in history is really forced to be cornered, and there are very few people in Shandong who can't survive because of food, even in this year of great drought and locust plague, the Shandong general army still does its best to provide disaster relief.

......

At this moment, on a boulder in the wild, Li Qingshan sat on it with his hair disheveled, dressed in tatters, with a mace standing at his feet, holding a white-flour steamed bun in his hand, and his eyes were full of regret.

It's not that he is reluctant to eat this white-flour steamed bun, but he really doesn't have the face to eat it, speaking of which, this was distributed to him by a few salters under the jurisdiction of the local security department a few days ago.

At that time, Li Qingshan only had himself at home, but the other party saw that he was big and strong, and he worked diligently in the farm on weekdays, so he directly gave three hot steamed buns, which were very easy to talk to, and he was not at all like the officials of the ordinary court who bullied others.

Before the uprising, Li Qingshan was frugal, and there was still this last one, but now, this steamed bun that has turned a little yellow is tightly held in his hand, but he can't eat a bite.

Suddenly, the steamed bun in Li Qingshan's hand fell to the ground, fluttered and knelt on the ground, looked in the direction of Licheng, and said with some resentment:

"Dashuai, I'm sorry for you... I, I'm really forced to be helpless, the Qi family is too deceitful...! ”

"Oh no, the king, I heard that the Shandong army was mobilizing a large army, saying that even the Marshal's Mansion was alarmed, and the chief soldier personally ordered to exterminate us within half a month!"

Li Qingshan was startled, struggled to get up from the ground, asked a few words carefully, and felt a wave of despair arise spontaneously, the combat effectiveness of the Shandong army is seen by the world, and it is definitely not empty talk to destroy itself within half a month.

It is said that the person in charge of this encirclement and suppression was Lu Jingrong, the chief general of the Shandong army in Qingzhou Mansion, and this person Li Qingshan had heard of it, and he followed Wang Zheng step by step from Dengzhou Mansion, and led troops to Haizhou a while ago, and it did not take long to pacify the plague of widows and bandits.

"What kind of iniquity is this! Originally, we lived in the farm, how could we have this kind of business! ”

An old man with gray hair cried and shouted, as if he missed the life of worry-free food and clothing in the previous years, and when he saw his appearance, everyone else was silent.

"Hey Huzi, I heard that the marshal once asked for the people's life and dealt with a lot of bullies who oppressed the people, I don't know if I can try Zhao'an!" Suddenly, Li Qingshan turned around and said, his eyes lit up with a hint of hope.

Hearing this, the tiger shook his head:

"How to recruit An, we cut off the Cao Yun, and the victims in various places have no relief, this matter even alarmed the North Zhili, the emperor not only scolded the marshal, but also personally ordered the Shandong Army to immediately ensure the safety of the Cao Yun!"

Hearing this, the surrounding leaders were all taken aback, originally just thinking of using Cao Yun to threaten those local heroes who bullied the poor people, but they didn't expect to make such a big move, and even Wang Zheng was reprimanded by the emperor.

However, Li Qingshan thought more than that, and when he heard that because of his decision to block the Cao Yun, the fathers and villagers in various places suffered disasters and could not receive relief from the imperial court, and he regretted it even more.

Li Qingshan sat on the ground with deep self-reproach in his eyes, and said dejectedly:

"Alasβ€”β€”, I didn't expect that the marshal and the heroes of the Shandong Army have been trying their best to help us in this year of famine, but it is Li Qingshan himself who is really dragging his feet and making everyone unable to get stability!"

Speaking of this, Li Qingshan seemed to have made up his mind, threw the mace in his hand to the ground, picked up the yellowed steamed bun, and the rest of the people looked at him inexplicably.

I saw Li Qingshan step forward alone, standing on the boulder, and shouted loudly:

"Shouchun's fathers and fellow villagers, listen to me!"

When the people around him turned their heads to look at him, Li Qingshan saw that most of them were in tatters, and his thoughts just now became even firmer.

Li Qingshan is a person who values righteousness, and he is even more true temperament, he knelt down in the vicinity of the victims, crying and shouting:

"Fathers and fellow villagers, you can't fight, you really can't fight!"

He held the steamed bun and choked up:

"The handsome man treats us well, I can't do those treacherous things! The strong men of the Shandong Army are all heroes, whether they kill Tartars or cut thieves, they have never said a word, let alone bullied everyone. ”

Speaking of this, Li Qingshan looked at the steamed bun, suddenly threw it on the ground, and shouted loudly:

"At this time, I am still causing chaos for the marshal, adding chaos to the Shandong army, I am not worthy, I am not worthy of living in this world, and I am not worthy of eating this steamed bun!"

Suddenly, everyone was shocked to see Li Qingshan jump off the boulder and rush towards the protrusion on one side, and he was about to die here.
