Chapter 427: Cangzhou Soldiers (II)
In September of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the sun and the moon are combined, and the two nines are overlapping.
It stands to reason that on the day of Chongyang, the people have to climb the heights with their relatives to "avoid disasters", and the big families are traveling with the whole family to celebrate the festival, but the people near Licheng are talking around the martial arts arena outside the city, and few want to go out.
On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, the four major battalions of the Shandong Army and the Mingwei Chinese Army gathered in Licheng, with strong armor and steel guns.
In the martial arts arena, the flag is displayed, Dong, Huang, Deng, and Gao recognize the flag and the Xuanniao flag echo each other, guarding the surroundings, the center is the Mingwei Zhongjun Flag, the blue background and yellow edge, a Chinese dragon with teeth and claws.
Offstage, the soldiers of the four battalions wore shiny cloud-winged helmets, held steel tiger guns or waist swords and shields, and wore red full-body armor.
A few days ago, the matter of the imperial court title caused a storm in Shandong, and after hearing the news, the military generals, military officials, and ordinary soldiers were all resentful.
The court's move can be said to have not only lost the support of the people, but also aroused the anger of the people.
For some reason, just over a month has passed, but rumors have quickly spread in Shandong, Henan, Huguang, and even the north and south.
Except for a few who secretly ridiculed the people, the rest of the people were arguing for the king.
However, Emperor Chongzhen still refused verbally, and sent the refutation back to Shandong, forcing Wang Zheng to order the Shandong army to gather in Licheng and prepare to raise troops to Cangzhou, which opened the prelude to a huge military admonition.
This is the late Ming Dynasty, initiated by the then Shandong General Soldier and the Governor of Zuodu, Wang Zheng, and immediately caused a sensation in the world.
......
After the Shandong army assembled in Licheng, it claimed to be 200,000 soldiers, led by Wang Zheng, the governor of Zuodu, and quickly drove to Cangzhou.
Cangzhou, east of the Bohai Sea, north of Gyeonggi, south of Shandong, Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal runs through the city, perhaps because of the proximity to the Bohai Sea, so named Cangzhou, the so-called Canghai State is so.
Cangzhou City is located in the central area of Beizhili Hejian Prefecture, some distance from Fuzhi River, only 200 kilometers away from the Ming Jingshi, the roads along the way are plains, the cavalry does not stop day and night, and can arrive at the city within five days.
Since ancient times, Cangzhou is the hub of north-south transportation, in the Ming Dynasty, it is the necessary place for north-south transportation, although it is the specification of the state city, but only on the degree of prosperity, but it is not far from Jining, Shandong.
Wang Dong, the garrison of Cangzhou at that time, heard that the Shandong army was coming, panicked, frightened day and night, and knew that he was invincible.
After waking up, Cangzhou garrison Wang Dong led his family to abscond out of the city overnight, and has not been seen since.
In order to avoid the northward route of the Shandong army, Wang Dong did not hesitate to abandon the official and abscond, and Lu Qianning, the governor of the prefecture, was burdened by the official body and reputation, and he couldn't escape, and he couldn't control the general soldiers, and it didn't take long for the city to become a pot of porridge.
Losing the suppression of the garrison, the Ming army in Cangzhou City was soon split into two factions.
One of them was headed by Deng Mao, the general of Qian, who said that the Shandong army was a righteous army, and advocated opening the city gate to welcome Wang Dashuai into the city, while the rest followed the will of Zhizhou Lu Qianning and insisted on not letting the thief army enter the city, waiting for the will of the Beijing division.
On the evening of September 11, when Deng Mao was patrolling the street with his relatives, he saw a hundred presidents who were raping ** women, and immediately killed him in anger.
Unexpectedly, this hundred is always another subordinate of Han Shengfang, another thousand general in the city, Deng Mao's behavior is equivalent to a blatant call, Han Shengfang put on armor overnight, and led his subordinates to the military camp to ask questions.
A Ming army gunner accidentally caught fire, and the two sides did not speculate for more than half a sentence, thinking that the other party would make the first move, which seemed to have opened the fuse, and the officials and troops in Cangzhou City began to fight.
At first, this scramble was still limited to the barracks, if Lu Qianning, the governor of the prefecture, gave the order in time, it might be possible to stop the turmoil, but Lu Qianning was paralyzed in fright when he heard that the officials and soldiers were in turmoil, and he couldn't issue any effective decrees at all.
In the end, he just called on a large number of people to guard the Zhizhou Yamen, but he turned a deaf ear to the affairs of the military camp.
Zhizhou was so cowardly, the Ming army in the city became more and more rampant and chaotic, Deng Mao and Han Shengfang did not expect that what was originally just a fire fight in the military camp quickly spread to the entire Cangzhou City within half an hour.
When the subordinates of the two people heard that their Qianzong was trapped in the barracks, they immediately ordered their subordinates to rush to the rescue, and accidentally bumped into them on the way, and immediately started a fight.
In addition, there are many beautiful little ladies on the side of the road who are walking and walking, and they suddenly have bad intentions and come forward to forcibly take them for themselves.
The thousands of presidents on both sides were trapped in the barracks, and at this point, all the people below were let go, and they went to burn, kill and loot through the streets and alleys, even if they had the heart to stop it, it was too late.
The fierce fighting of the officials and soldiers in the city soon spread to the people of the city, and some of the officers and soldiers even put the fighting behind and kicked in the door from house to house.
When I see a beautiful woman, I often rush up like a hungry tiger and press her to the ground, forcibly doing that kind of thing, and if someone comes to stop it, I don't even think about turning around and stabbing it.
Cangzhou City, which was originally quite prosperous, became a hell on earth overnight, and those merchants who came and went from the south to the north fell into blood mold because of this.
Because these officers and soldiers have completely degenerated into jackals, they will rob everything they want, and if they resist the slightest resistance, they will go on a killing spree, not to mention the loss of goods, and many merchants who do not know the reason even throw their lives here.
Speaking of which, the current Chuang army and the Western army have been deliberately winning the hearts of the people, even if the thieves enter the city in a big way, it is just digging up the mausoleum, torturing the officials and gentry, and even if the common people cannot keep their family wealth, their lives and women's chastity can at least be preserved.
But once the officials and soldiers are in chaos, it is really a matter of not recognizing the six relatives, killing every person, and robbing the wealth when they see it, but all the women who have a little purple will suffer, whether it is a poor person or a large family or an official, almost no one can escape.
At the moment, even the Zhizhou Yamen has crazy officers and soldiers holding the giant wood that they found out of nowhere and began to bang on the door, not to mention other places, which have already become a sea of hellfire.
About two hours after the start of the firefight, a group of people carrying the Xuanniao flag and the "Dong" word recognition flag came to the city, and the leader was Dong Youyin, one of the four major generals of the Shandong Army.
After waiting for a few quarters of an hour, a fast horse galloped in, and the pacesetter looked solemn, raised his right hand with a military token, and shouted:
"The commander ordered that the sharp knife battalion immediately enter the city to quell the chaos."
Hearing this, Dong Youyin and several surrounding generals looked at each other, finished the military salute on the horse, and shouted in unison:
"The last general and others must obey the commander's orders!"
The next moment, the pacesetter turned, and the Sharp Knife Battalion marched in neat steps and rumbled in from the wide-open south gate.
