In Zhongsu Gorge, more than 100 miles away from Zhenyang, the ships that had been seized by the barrage were already piled up on the water, and some soldiers who had launched a rebellion had already begun to board ships in formation and sail downstream.

Other rebels went upriver along the river, intending to seize the water and land pass of Zhenyang Gorge, a key point in the upper reaches.

In the old city of Lianzhou, the county seat of Lianshan, not far from the south of Qingyuan Town, it also became another victim of the Qingyuan Mutiny.

Chen Zihe, a cloud cavalry captain and commander of the mountain front brigade, marched on the streets with a bitter taste on his mouth, watching those who were familiar with the road change their identities and temporarily turned into strongmen and bandits, and organized torture and looting of the comrades of the officials and wealthy families.

Even the former high-minded and powerful depositors, crying or begging, and the large baskets of money and bundles of silk silk that were brought out of their homes and warehouses, did not have the slightest pleasure and comfort in raising their eyebrows.

But he was powerless to change this, so he could only be a little desperate to be coerced by the general situation, and he gave up on himself to disturb things even more, allowing them to open a treasury with one place, or from the mouths of those high-ranking magnates, by forcing out more places where more goods were hidden, and then let out an earth-shattering cheer at the dazzling harvest inside.

Big bowls of wine, large pieces of meat, and loud noises turned this county town into a city of crying and laughter

Only when he saw those elated soldiers stretching out their hands to those women who were still in good shape, would he stop and reprimand them as the last point of persistence and limit.

This is a carnival feast, but also a feast of despair that is destined to have no future, even if it is peaceful for a long time, so that the bureaucracy of Guangfu has become a little numb and dull,,

However, what happened on the outskirts of Guangfu will eventually become the pain of their common hatred and hatred, and under the joint severity of the damage to their own industries and interests, they will put aside disputes and contradictions, accumulated grievances and suspicions, and burst out with incomparably amazing dedication and efficiency.

Then there was the situation of encirclement and suppression by the army of sea and land, and the best they could foresee was that the non-commissioned officers and officers were executed for the crime of rebellion, and the remaining soldiers, whether coerced or not, were used as mines on the outer islands, and worked in the mines where they did not see the light of day until they took their last breath.

The second town of the Qingyuan Army, although it is only a second-line sequence named after a place, but its predecessor is one of the famous times of the times, but when the era also ends, the ups and downs have become a kind of oral tradition, gradually forgotten.

It's just that when it reappears in the world's attention, it's as a rebel.

At this time, a large town with an overstaffing has thousands of people, plus the subordinate family members and relatives will quadruple, but there are only 2,000 posts, and the full number cannot be obtained, in addition, in the Qingyuan Army, according to the priority order of relatives and distance, it can only be obtained after a delay of two or three months.

Therefore, many soldiers in the second town are trying to find other ways to make a living in the local area, at least Qingyuan is the waterway of the Dongjiang River, as long as they gnaw their strength, there is no lack of opportunities to make a living, and the generals can only ignore it, because this is the place where the frustrated and unlucky ghosts in the army, as well as the unlikable radicals of the Northern Expedition, gather and exile.

In addition to the dragon pattern flag that is taken out to dry because of mildew rain every year, who would have thought that the predecessor of this local town army would be a dazzling force in the world in the Yongjia march.

They used to be the imperial dragon guards and palace front troops of Emperor Zhengding, which are different from the glamorous pillars called the imperial dragon guards and palace front classes in the current Xiaojing Zhaoshou Mountain Palace, but they are full of gilded sons and nobles of wealthy families.

They once represented the elite of the hot-blooded men and young heroes of the north and the south, and they were also the terrifying evil ghosts Shura on the battlefield, who fought in the north and south of the river, swept the east and west of the Yellow River, and showed off their military might in the military parade on Suzaku Street in Xijing, and planted the battle flag on the Chengtian Gate in the imperial city, so that the coalition forces from all walks of life did not dare to face it.

After making a decisive decision in the great destruction of the western army's eastward advance, he carried the legacy of Emperor Zhengding, protected the last bone and blood, and fled all the way to the remnants of the last bit of the essence of the Northern Expedition in the Southern Dynasty.

After the first generation was rewarded and gifted, they were divided and disintegrated, after all, they were the imperial dragon guards and palace troops of the Zhengding Emperor, not the Liang Shogunate of the South China Sea, although they were all Liang clans who could not write two in one stroke.

However, as the elite of the return, in the Southern Dynasty at the beginning of the grass, they still received due attention, for example, although they lost their former military horns, they were still compiled in the first-line sequence against the Northland.

For example, they were once organized as a naval corps accompanying sailors and ship regiments, and participated in many expeditions deep into the interior

However, with the conservatism of the other shogunate's focus on domestic affairs, they were once again thrown into a kind of marginalization, and then the garrisons and defense districts also rotated among the five recruits, and gradually became unrecognizable.

After repeating this several times, Changtai finally got the attention of a privy envoy of the main war faction. Not only did a large number of priority be given to removing armor and incorporating a large number of northerners from Nantou, but they were also enriched and expanded into a new army - the Yongxing Army.

Then, as soon as they were transferred out of the mountains, there was another change of power in the Southern Dynasties, and the privy envoys of the main battle faction had to be disgraced and died of depression and illness in the outer domain.

So he was broken up and repeatedly downsized, and finally reduced to a subordinate of the second-rate order of the other party, and sent to the outlying areas of Guangfu, of course, from the point of view of those who defeated political opponents, this is not a kind of leniency and grace.

Although it is arranged in a wealthy area along the river, and it is close to the Ki where Guangfu is located, it is also a disguised containment and dissipation, using the chaos of market life to disintegrate the remnants of this old powerhouse.

A few days ago, it is said that a captain from the second town tried to take advantage of the opportunity of the routine imperial observation, and rushed to the front of the big driver, intending to rob the emperor of the Southern Dynasty.

Then there were rumors of the Great Purge and mass exile,

So the sky that called them fell all at once, and after the news came, except for those disheartened old generals, almost everyone spontaneously gathered at the school field.

Then I met the military envoy who was angry and brought a small number of personal soldiers to suppress it, so things happened naturally.

And after they moved, thanks to the daily actions of the military envoys, most of the generals of the other three towns were also broken and captured, and the soldiers below joined the turmoil voluntarily or involuntarily, and then snowballed in growth.

In fact, Chen Zihe also knows this general, his name is Zhong Jueqian, he is a good general of the previous generation, and he is also the best among the children of the two towns who are easy to be admitted to the Guangfu martial arts school in the contemporary generation.

As a representative selected to participate in the exhibition, he once privately said that he would find an opportunity to detain the blood letter of the emperor in order to impress the Son of Heaven and the shogunate and change the status quo of this deterioration.

However, it is obvious that his radical approach has not been able to break through and touch the system, and he has used his power to weave a large net of protection from top to bottom, but it has seriously hurt the dignity and face of some big figures in the Ministry of War, the Privy Council, and the General Chapter's Counselor's Office.

Tortured in prison, fabricated charges, digging deep behind the scenes, planting and biting, all kinds of conceivable means, under the instructions of the superiors, came one after another......

A notice posted on the empty and lonely street, was blown down on Chen Zihe's head, interrupting his thoughts and melancholy, and was ripped off by him, but it was a notice to the citizens and persuade them to recruit volunteers......

Just looking at the big ink on the paper, he suddenly felt a little dazzling, and he crumpled it into a ball, but he strengthened his determination again.

The Southern Dynasty is heavily taxed, and there are many names, when the heaviest time, the tree grows a little and the roof is added to the tile, but also to collect green seedlings, the tax between the shelves, so that during the Jingming Dynasty, there is a great drought in Guangfu, there is no rain, and there is the imperial history Xu Wen, play the joke with the emperor and say that "the rain does not enter, but is afraid of heavy taxes".

Among them, the most collected, but also the most persistent, is the Guangfu donation, or the northern donation, the Southern Dynasty has been levied at the beginning of the founding of the country, the scope once throughout the north and south of the river, to the edge of the Yellow River, and then although the scope of the past dynasties has changed, but the total amount is increasing unabated.

Among them, the most enthusiastic contributors are undoubtedly those northerners in Nantou and their descendants, but they have donated from generation to generation, but the recovery of the Central Plains is still an unattainable luxury and distant dream, some people are desperate, some people give up, and some retreat, go to overseas domains to make another living, and start again.

Only the remaining lonely ghosts who do not give up are sent or spontaneously gathered around this northerner-colored army, which is quite a sense of huddle for warmth, but it is inevitable to commit the taboo of some upper-class figures.

So from a certain point of view, their glimmer of life is in Guangfu. Only by joining forces to enter Guangfu, the fate of some people may still have a turning point, even if there is a glimmer of hope.

After coercing a large number of poor people and absorbing a lot of northerners who were unwilling at the bottom of society, the road he was responsible for had grown to the size of at least half an army.

At this time, the soldiers brought him a message. A message from a family whose father had been kind to him gave him no reason to refuse for the time being.

After a while, he sat in the restaurant that was temporarily used as a meeting place, and looked at the other party with some disgust, as if he was not in the noisy army, but in the elegant and clean guild hall.

After listening to the other party's intentions, his first reaction was ridiculous, and he frowned, but he still thought about the bad things and selfish methods of the party and the intrigues.

The second reaction is sadness, my generation is struggling, but I still want to become cannon fodder and lackeys driven by such people in the camp.
