When Zhao Zhao, the chief soldier of Shanhai Town, led his troops to prepare to go north to quell the rebellion, and Fang Zhenghua rushed to Ningyuan with Dongchang people, the mutiny in Ningyuan City was almost over. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Ningyuan City is not big in all directions, once prosperous in commerce and trade, a large population, but unfortunately after many years of war, especially after the Jiliao Governor's Mansion and the Liaodong Town General Military Mansion moved to Ningyuan, after years of war, the original merchants and ordinary people who had relatives and old ones in the pass fled south.

Today, there are not many residents in the city, except for some merchant families who are accustomed to going south and north, most of the rest are military households who have lived near Ning Yuanwei for generations, and the people in Pingtou are at best three or five thousand households, and now they have undergone a baptism of mutiny, and the people in the city are more than a thousand killed and injured, and the people's grievances are boiling.

On the morning of July 28, Yang Guozhu, who stayed behind in the Governor's Mansion, did not let Lu Shanji, the Governor of Jiliao, wait long on the tower of the north gate of Ningyuan.

Lu Shanji, under the protection of Sun Chan and the soldiers of the Governor of the Chinese Army, had just erected the handsome banner of the Jiliao Governor at the head of the north gate of Ningyuan, when he saw a large group of cavalry in the distance rushing towards him, and the people who came were Wu Xiang, Zu Dabi and Yang Guozhu.

When a few people arrived at the city, they saw that the current Liaodong Jinyi Wei Qianhu Sun Zhan was already waiting at the bottom of the steps, so they immediately followed Shangcheng and met Lu Shanji.

Yang Guozhu, a native of Tieling, was born in a military household, tall and burly, walking with a tiger and a tiger's style, looking forward to his eyes like electricity, in his thirties, he is a battle-hardened tiger general at a glance. And this is also the reason why Lu Shan, after replacing Wang Zhichen, kept him as a guerrilla of the Chinese army.

It's just that Yang Guozhu was not born in Ningyuan, nor was he born in Jiangmen, and he was not tactful enough, and he didn't get along well with many generals from Jiangmen families in Liaodong Town, so although Lu Shanji admired his generals, he still arranged a sleek and skillful Wu Xiang, who had a good relationship with the generals in Liaozhen, and knew his roots, became a general of the Chinese army.

This is not to say that he doesn't trust Yang Guozhu, but he has a different understanding of Yang Guozhu's generals, if he doesn't trust him, how can he let him stay in Ningyuan's Governor's Mansion.

Wu Xiang, Zu Dabi, and Yang Guozhu came to Lu Shanji, knelt down on one knee, and said while saluting: "I was ordered to stay in the Governor's Mansion to attack Yang Guozhu and meet the Governor!" ”

Lu Shanji, who was originally sitting to receive the salute, also got up at this time, hugged Yang Guozhu, and said at the same time: "Hurry up and be exempt!" Hurry up and get free! ”

After the three of them got up, Yang Guozhu asked Lu Shanji to go back to the Governor's Mansion to sit in town and preside over the overall situation of quelling the chaos, at this time, Lu Shanji said to Yang Guozhu: "There is no hurry to go back to the Governor's Mansion, you first talk about the situation in the city now!" ”

Yang Guozhu then told Lu Shanji and others about the situation in the city one by one.

Soon after the mutiny on the 25th, there were rebellious soldiers from the Guangwu Battalion who attacked the Governor's Mansion to demand wages, and three waves of attacks were successively repelled by hundreds of soldiers who stayed behind under the command of Yang Guozhu and used bows and arrows, arquebuses, and tiger squat cannons.

Other than that, the rockets and torches fired by the rebels burned down several houses where the guards lived, but the entire Governor's Mansion did not suffer much damage.

On the night of the mutiny, most of the rebels returned to the camp, and after noon the next day, all the rebels returned to the camp, and there was an eerie calm in the city.

It was also at this time that Yang Guozhu got in touch with Zu Dabi and informed each other of the situation, and then Zu Dabi sent his subordinate Tian Xiong to Yizhou to report the news.

After hearing this, Lu Shanji said: "The headquarters asks you, can Lord Guo Guangguo, the deputy envoy of the military garrison, have any news now, are there any whereabouts of Bai Yangcui, Bai Langzhong, Zhang Tongju, and Su Tuiguan?" Where are Yang Wenkui, the general of the Zhenwu Battalion, and Peng Qigu, the general of the Guangwu Battalion, now? ”

Yang Guozhu gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "The general of the Guangwu battalion, Peng Qigu, supported the troops and made a rebellion, and now the two battalions are in one place, stationed in the Zhenwu battalion, and the two battalions of rebels are headed by him.

"As for Yang Wenkui, the general of the Zhenwu Battalion, he has been marked and held, and now he is tied up in the Governor's Mansion.

"On the eve of the rebellion, Yang Wenkui gathered people to gamble in the Zhenwu camp, and left his post the next morning without permission and returned home to live, resulting in no one restraining the soldiers in the Guangwu camp. After the rebels clamored to leave the camp, Yang Wenkui was frightened and fled to the Governor's Mansion for help, and ordered him to be arrested and detained in the prison of the Governor's Mansion. ”

After saying this, Yang Guozhu paused for a moment, and then said: "As for Deputy Envoy Guo, he is still being held hostage by the rebels, and Zhang Tongju and Su Tuiguan have been brutalized by the rebels for two days.

"Bai Langzhong is said to have hanged himself in the Zhenwu camp, and the rebels took him into the museum, and now he is in the Zhenwu camp, but he did not see his body in person, so he did not dare to make a conclusion."

After Yang Guozhu finished speaking, he looked at Lu Shanji intently.

Lu Shanji pondered for a moment and said to Yang Guozhu: "Go and bring Yang Wenkui over to talk." ”

For Lu Shanji, no matter how this rebellion is dealt with in the end, the first thing to do is to get in touch with the leaders of the rebels, see what they want, and stabilize them first.

As for the officials who have died, there is no way, people cannot be resurrected after death, and those who are not dead, such as Guo Guang, the deputy envoy of the military garrison, should be rescued or rescued, after all, the deputy envoy of the military garrison said that it is not big, and it is not small, and he is also an important civilian officer in charge of the army in Liaodong.

In history, after Guo Guang was captured by the rebels, because there was indeed no silver in the Liaodong Treasury at that time, the rebels did not grab the money they wanted, and the leader of the rebels could not end the battle, so he had to let Guo Guang come forward and raise 50,000 taels of silver from the merchants in Ningyuan City, which was considered to temporarily appease the army.

As soon as Guo Guang came out, because he understood the situation of the rebels, he quickly cooperated with Yuan Chonghuan to quell the rebellion.

But this time, Guo Guang was not released as in history, one reason was that the two battalions of rebels grabbed the silver, and the second reason was that the rebels did not have heavyweight civil officials in their hands as bargaining chips to blackmail the imperial court.

In history, Guo Guang was arrested together with Bi Zisu, the governor of Liaodong, compared with Bi Zisu, Guo Guang can only be said to be a small fish.

But now the deputy envoy of the Liaodong military garrison is the biggest fish caught by the rebels, so he naturally does not dare to release it easily.

Lu Shanji was thinking about countermeasures, and Yang Guozhu took Yang Wenkui, who was tied up with five flowers, to the city tower at the north gate of Ningyuan.

Yang Wenkui saw Lu Shanji from a distance, so he quickly knelt on the ground, walked a distance on his knees, came to Lu Shanji's approach, and said with a crying voice: "Master Inspector, the Zhenwu Camp has nothing to do with lowly duties, lowly positions, lowly positions!" ”

Lu Shanji looked at Yang Wenkui coldly, staring at Yang Wenkui's heart, his crying became smaller and smaller, and gradually stopped.

At this time, Lu Shanji said to him: "Yang Wenkui, you are a general of the Zhenwu Battalion, and now the Zhenwu Battalion is taking the lead in mutiny, but you say that it has nothing to do with you?!" ”

Speaking of this, Lu Shanji suddenly said loudly: "Where is Sun Chan?" Take Yang Wenkui down to the city and behead him on the spot! ”

Sun Chan came out in response and stepped forward to hold Yang Wenkui.

When Yang Wenkui heard this, he was almost frightened, and shouted loudly: "Master Inspector, Master Inspector, you are guilty of lowly duties, you are guilty of lowly duties, please give your lowly position a chance to make meritorious service and atone for your sins!" ”

Lu Shanji waved his hand at Sun Chan when he heard the sound, and said to Yang Wenkui: "The ins and outs of the Zhenwu Battalion mutiny, you tell the truth to the headquarters, if there is any more nonsense, you will not be forgiven!" ”

Next, Yang Wenkui honestly put him in the Zhenwu camp to set up a gamble, Zhang Zhengchao, Zhang Sishun and others gambled and lost the loan, and had no money to repay, and then made noise in the camp, and was reported for his rebellious words, and then Ning Yuantong sentenced Zhang Shirong and pushed the official Su Han to send people to arrest him, and he said it 1510.

Yang Wenkui finally said: "The rebels coerced the Zhenwu battalion general Zuo out of the camp, and it was really unreasonable to look at his humble position, and he was even more worried about being elected by the soldiers as the leader, so he did not dare to return to the camp, so he made a big mistake." However, although the rebels are now headed by Peng Qigu, the general of the Guangwu Battalion, in fact, they are still the commanders of the Zhenwu Battalion, Zhang Zhengchao, Zhang Sishun and others, who have been in the Zhenwu Battalion for more than ten years, and have always had personal relations with the Zhang family, especially the guerrillas Wu Guoqi and Zuo Liangyu in the battalion, and are willing to go to the camp alone to recruit the rebels for the superintendent and make meritorious atonements. Please be aware of it, Master Overseer! ”

Lu Shanji stroked his beard and did not speak, quietly pondering.

Seeing this, Yang Wenkui hurriedly said: "If the Inspector is not at ease to go to the lowly position, the lowly position can let the Chinese army guerrilla Yang Shengyuan of the Zhenwu Battalion go instead of the lowly position. Yang Shengyuan is a lowly nephew, who has never participated in the rebellion, and has a good relationship with Peng Qigu, Wu Guoqi, Zuo Liangyu and other generations, and can also pass on words for the superintendent. ”

Lu Shanji nodded when he heard this, and said, "Where is Yang Shengyuan of the Zhenwu Battalion guerrilla now?" ”

Yang Wenkui hurriedly said the address where Yang Shengyuan was hiding, and he was familiar with the ancestor Dabi who was familiar with every grass and tree in Ningyuan City, and asked Ying to go and arrest Yang Shengyuan this time.

Not long after, Yang Shengyuan was also tied up with five flowers, and was taken to the city by Zu Dabi and thrown in front of Lu Shanji.

Yang Shengyuan, who was frightened, saw that his uncle was also there, and he was immediately relieved, and he also said with a crying voice: "Yang Shengyuan, the Chinese army of the lowly Zhenwu Battalion is attacking Yang Shengyuan, I have seen the Inspector, please forgive the Supervisor!" ”

Lu Shanji looked at Yang Wenkui, Yang Shengyuan's uncle and nephew and said: "Yang Shengyuan, the headquarters wants you to go to the Zhenwu camp to visit Guo Guang, the deputy envoy of the military garrison, and meet with Peng Qigu, Zhang Zhengchao and others, are you willing to go?" ”

After hearing this, Yang Shengyuan hurriedly looked at his uncle Yang Wenkui, and Yang Wenkui nodded at him. So Yang Shengyuan said: "I am willing to go." ”

After saying this, after a pause, Yang Shengyuan said again: "I just don't know what to say to Peng Haigu and Zhang Zhengchao after I go to my humble position?" Please also show me the overseer. ”

Lu Shanji stared at Yang Shengyuan and said, "Since the Ministry is willing to send you there, it has already explained the position of the Governor's Mansion. After I went, I would first visit Deputy Envoy Guo's condition, and if Deputy Envoy Guo was dead, there would be nothing to say.

"If Deputy Envoy Guo is safe and sound, you will tell Peng Haigu, Zhang Zhengchao and others that Ning Yuan's army is in arrears for three months, and the headquarters is at fault first. The Governor's Office will not investigate the things looted by the rebels of the Zhenwu Battalion and the Guangwu Battalion in the city, and the losses of the merchants and civilians in the city will be compensated by the Governor's Mansion according to the price.

"But there is one thing, the mutiny of the sergeants and soldiers, no matter what the reason, is an unforgivable crime after all, and someone among the rebels must bear the responsibility for the rebellion. Let them weigh it at their own discretion, and if they have an idea, send someone to the north gate tower to meet with the main department, and then the department will make its own decision. ”

After Lu Shanji said this, he let Yang Shengyuan loosen his ties.

Zu Dabi took Yang Sheng down the city tower, gave him a horse, and brought a team of people, a group of 100 horses, to the Zhenwu camp station in the southwest corner of the city.
