Chapter 252: Alone - Highlight
When it comes to civil unrest, the gentry and heroes of Qingzhou, Dengzhou, and Laizhou are the first to panic.
However, everyone knows that the nearest Shandong general soldier Liu Zeqing's soldiers and horses are not to look for them, bullying and bullying the common people are all tigers and wolves, and how far and how far to hide in the face of this kind of huge civil upheaval.
Therefore, when the news of Liu Zeqing's retreat in Yidu City came out, no one was surprised, hasn't this general soldier been this virtue for many years.
As the saying goes, one soldier will be a nest, and the rest of the garrison generals are not much different from Liu Zeqing, if they want to send troops to quell the chaos in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner, the possibility is smaller than that of the Tartars killing each other and destroying them directly, and they can't be counted on at all.
Thinking about it, the only person in charge of this Shandong territory is the Dengzhou battalion under the command of Wang Zheng, the chief soldier of Denglai, as for the current Shandong general soldier Liu Zeqing, the little soldiers and horses at hand are only the size of a garrison division, and the subordinate generals Du Ya can't be suppressed, how to compare with the Dengzhou battalion with 5,000 soldiers, forget it when the shit stinks.
Ruled out one option after another, almost everyone understood that at present, there was no one else in the entire Shandong who was capable of sending troops to resist this huge civil unrest, except for Wang Zheng.
The generals from all over the country looked at each other coldly, but the gentry and powerful knew clearly that once the people were in turmoil, the first to be defeated were them, the landlords, and Dengzhou was too far away, so they went to find Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, to put him under pressure.
However, I didn't think about it, the Dengzhou battalion was still moving as fast as before, and I heard that it had rushed to Laizhou Mansion without waiting for the order from the Yamen side of the governor of Shandong.
In the lobby, Yan Jizu and a group of civil officials were relieved when they learned the news, and after a period of negotiation, Denglai Daomo Yiwen was ordered to escort grain, grass and military supplies to Laizhou Mansion, which was also the greatest support that Yan Jizu could give to the Dengzhou battalion.
Yan Jizu didn't have many soldiers under him, and Liu Zeqing was a white-eyed wolf with no ability, he didn't listen to orders and didn't have the ability to quell the chaos at all, so it took a lot of effort to say that he would mobilize more than 200 soldiers.
Originally, the matter of escorting grain, grass and military supplies was a confidential matter, but the news somehow leaked the news, and Deng Lai Dao Mo Yiwen had just arrived at the boundary of Qingzhou Mansion with his people, and before he had walked out of twenty miles, suddenly a cannon rang out.
The sound of this earthen cannon from nowhere is not loud, but it still frightens the Ming army to look around, where did the sound come from.
At this moment, countless chaotic people rushed out from all around, although they were all carrying straw forks, wooden sticks and other weapons, and their bodies were also tattered and there were few armors, but they still frightened the Ming army.
In the past, these Diao people were the targets of their oppression, but at this time, they turned upside down, and the officers and soldiers were frightened, and there was no resistance at all, and they scattered and fled without caring about anything.
Denglai Dao Mo Yiwen still has some backbone, shouting orders, wanting to stop the resistance, but at this time, who cares about Denglai Dao, of course, it is important to escape, and the chaotic people behind seem to have been brainwashed, and they rushed over one by one as if they were crazy, and they were sure to die if they were caught up.
In the end, Deng Lai Dao Mo Yiwen fled back to the Shandong Governor's Yamen alone, and his dress was no different from that of Huazi, and he didn't want to go out for a trip to be so depressed.
As soon as this matter was mentioned, the officials of the various divisions who were originally worried immediately put down any thoughts of going out of the city, and Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, scolded loudly, saying that these warriors were really muddy and could not be used on the wall, and there were few of them.
But scolding and scolding, Yan Jizu still didn't dare to report.
This matter can be big or small, if it can be solved in Shandong, Yan Jizu will not want to report to the court no matter what, the current one who does not use military generals, but the literati kill it like killing a pig, do not hesitate at all.
It's only been more than ten years, and the first assistant of the cabinet has been killed and replaced, not to mention him, the governor or the local prefect, isn't it that the next sentence from above, Jin Yiwei will come over and behead him.
Therefore, some civil officials would rather drag it out until the end when they can't be cleaned up, and do the so-called "festival of death" to preserve their reputation, rather than be beheaded as a sinner, so that the world will see the joke and be hated through the ages.
No matter how angry he was, Yan Jizu sadly found that he had no way at this time, so he could only pin his only hope on Wang Zheng, the general soldier of Denglai.
Yan Jizu sighed, waved his hand weakly, and said that he was waiting for the results of the Dengzhou battalion to be passed back.
Since the Qing army entered the army last year, whether his life and official position can be retained have depended on whether the Dengzhou battalion can turn the tide many times, and it can be regarded as sharing honor and disgrace with the king.
Shandong Governor Yamen has been helpless, inside and outside a chaotic place, the junction of Qing and Lai, is already a scene of beacon fire, Dong Youyin and Gao Liang received the military order, led 2,000 soldiers to Weixian rescue.
There is the foundation of the Liaodong surprise attack, the soldiers only took a day and a half of the night to rush to Pingdu Prefecture, the capital of Laizhou, Dong Youyin and Gao Liang and the Dengzhou Battalion stationed in Pingdu Prefecture Fei Pengfei did not care about anything else after meeting, the first time to inquire about the situation in Pingdu Prefecture, but almost all they heard was bad news.
Hearing the successive bad news, both of them had their faces sinking.
Weixian County had been breached almost two days ago, and more than 200 regular soldiers stationed in the total forest were all killed in the city in order to cover the evacuation of the people, and none of them escaped.
Thanks to Lin Li's death battle, most of the people in Weixian County took advantage of the chaos to escape, and according to Fei Pengfei, they are migrating here one after another these days.
Hearing this news, Gao Liang's face changed and asked:
"Fei Pengfei, have the people been put into Pingdu Prefecture City?"
Hearing this, Fei Pengfei nodded casually, but when he saw that Gao Liang looked wrong, he asked in confusion:
"Gao Guerrilla, is there anything wrong?"
"How many days?" Gao Liang asked again.
"It's been half a day since the first refugees came out of the city." Fei Pengfei didn't know why, but he still answered honestly.
"Immediately order, seal the city gate, go to Zhizhou to get the household register, and give it to the general to check door to door, all those who are not on the household register are taken to the military camp in the east of the city, and if there is resistance and rebellion, they will be killed on the spot!"
Fei Pengfei was full of excitement, and the sudden appearance of killing intent on Gao Liang's body made him shudder, although he still didn't understand the intention, but he also understood the priority of the matter, and immediately made a military salute, almost shouting orders.
Gao Liang paced back and forth in the main hall, the members of the Wenxiang Sect were extremely good at disguise, except for the fact that they were usually hidden among the ordinary people on weekdays, he could conclude that the refugees who entered the city this time must have people from the Wenxiang Sect.
Before coming, Li Yan had specially instructed that he should strictly accept the chaotic people from all over the country, and the best thing for the people of the Wenxiang Sect is to deceive people and create chaos in the city.
Seeing the herald running out, Dong Youyin frowned and scolded in a low voice:
"Damn, hurry up, I didn't expect it to be half a day late!"
"But fortunately, it's only been half a day, and it's still too late to check..."
Gao Liang nodded, and was talking about something, but he heard a brisk footstep outside, and suddenly a bad feeling came from his heart, and a cold woman in a red dress appeared in front of several people.
I saw that the woman's red lips opened slightly, and said:
"The matter of investigating the Wenxiang Sect is still left to the people under this girl, just when it comes to this matter, they are not inferior to the regular soldiers of the Dengzhou Battalion!"
