817: The situation in Qingzhou
readx;
Qingzhou, a few years ago, a big war left Qingzhou deeply traumatized, and unlike other places, Qingzhou has not recovered after being injured. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 After Mata took over the jurisdiction of Qingzhou from King Ning, 50,000 Qiang soldiers entered Qingzhou, and suddenly entered the Huahua World of the Central Plains from the withered mountains, and the eyes of these originally poor Qiang soldiers were immediately spent.
Their eyes were spent, and the people of Qingzhou suffered. [bsp; Compared with the Central Plains, the Qiang people are still relatively backward slave system, after controlling Qingzhou, these Qiang soldiers immediately regarded themselves as the masters of Qingzhou, and took and demanded from the aborigines of Qingzhou.
The Qiang soldiers walked out of the mountains, overnight, they have become rich, everyone is making a lot of money, and Mata did not realize the far-reaching impact of this incident at the beginning, in his opinion, since he got Qingzhou, it is naturally the master of Qingzhou, Qingzhou's people, things, and wealth are not their own, and according to the rules and regulations of the Qiang people, the property obtained by the Qiang soldiers must first be handed over to him.
Qingzhou, which could not be plundered, then broke out one after another peasant uprisings, which made Mata tired and suppressed everywhere, but the suppression of this end and that end was warped again, not only the peasants at the bottom, but even the rich men of Qingzhou gradually began to intervene, these people also suffered greatly in this plunder, these people's intervention greatly strengthened the equipment of the rioting peasants, the suppression of the Qiang soldiers from the beginning of the momentum to the final struggle, the surge of casualties made Mata began to reflect on his situation and the next policy, Forced by the peasant rebellion surrounded by bee smoke, Mata began to envelop Qingzhou's wealthy families, after nearly a year of efforts, this made Qingzhou gradually calm down, but the seeds of hatred have been planted, and the seemingly calm Qingzhou is actually like an active volcano that is accumulating energy, which may erupt at any time.
Similarly, Qingzhou is now an important area for the activities of the Ministry of Labor and the Supervision Yuan, where the two forces are active frequently, and each has some underground resistance forces in their hands, secretly plotting to subvert Mata, but they are also confronting each other, and there are often fires and acts.
With the defeat of Xingzhou Zhou Tong by the Guoshan Wind Group, forcing Zhou Tong to enter the defense, the coercion of Qingzhou by Guoshan Feng is like a day, with Li Feng commanded by the Yizhou battalion of more than 10,000 cavalry in the Qinqing border eyeing the enemy, often attacking into the territory of Qingzhou, relying on the advantage of cavalry mobility and fast movement, the Anta is indeed good at fighting and brave and not afraid of death, but the question is, how can you run over the opponent's four hooves with bare feet! Li Feng slipped like a loach again, and Mata set a trap several times, but under the close monitoring of the Qingzhou Supervision Yuan, in Li Feng's bold and careful combat style, it was all in vain.
Under strong pressure, Mata began to allow the local gentry in Qingzhou to organize self-defense forces, and the gentry in various places set up forts and fortifications, and the coalition forces protected themselves, which did suppress Li Feng's actions to a certain extent, but made the local forces rise sharply. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Supervision Yuan and the Ministry of Labor have vigorously infiltrated these forces, and the current Qingzhou can be said to be criss-crossed and entangled with each other.
Gufu County, Liang Family.
As the largest wealthy landlord in Gufu County, Liang Changfeng is also in charge of the armed self-defense forces of Gufu County, a local armed force of about 3,000 people, basically composed of the children of the Liang family and his tenants, with the Liang family compound as the center, this local armed force actually controls almost two-thirds of Gufu County, while the Qiang soldiers stationed in Gufu County have less than 500 people, and can only control the county seat. It turned out that the Qiang soldiers here had now been transferred to the Qingqin border to deal with the pressure of Li Fengyi's state battalion in Dingzhou. Now that Mata is in control of Gufu, he actually has to go through the Liang family.
The Liang family, on the other hand, was rebelled by the Dingzhou Supervision Yuan shortly after Mata took control of Qingzhou.
The cause of the incident was that not long after the Qiang soldiers entered Qingzhou, the Liang family also suffered greatly, although the family background is thick, not like ordinary people, the family is ruined, but it is also a heavy hemorrhage. As a wealthy clan in the Central Plains with a long history, they have a natural sense of rejection and contempt for the Qiang soldiers from the mountains, but now they are oppressed by the barbarians in their eyes, so they are naturally unconvinced, but they have no soldiers in their hands, and they can only be angry and not emotional, and the patriarch Liang Changfeng knows that without the intervention of external forces, even if the Liang family is rich, it will be difficult to succeed. He began to actively seek help and backing from outside.
It was at this time that the Supervision Yuan found Liang Changfeng. At this time, the domineering of Li Qing in Dingzhou has been gradually revealed, and the power of Dingzhou is rapidly expanding, and the Dingzhou soldiers are like a bamboo, which makes Sun Changfeng see the opportunity, and the two sides hit it off, and Liang Changfeng became a member of Dingzhou.
With the development of the situation, Liang Changfeng began to form the Liang army in the name of protecting the hometown and suppressing the mob, and although the formation of local self-defense forces was tacitly acquiesced by Mata, Mata would not arm the army for them, you can form an army, but you must raise money and food by yourself, raise weapons, and at the same time, Mata will also send a supervisor to monitor this army.
Qian Liang Changfeng is not worried, as the first big landlord of Gufu, he is not bad, but the weapons are not good, at this time, not to mention steel, pig iron is also a control material, the people are not allowed to mine iron ore to smelt pig iron and refined iron, and Mata's own troops lack good weapons, let alone armed in these places.
At the beginning of the formation of the army, the main weapons of this self-defense force were iron forks, hoes, and more often wood into guns.
At this time, the power of the Supervision Yuan began to show, through secret channels, a large number of weapons that were eliminated in Dingzhou were sent to Gufu in batches, arming the Liang army, two years of hard work, the Liang army swelled to 3,000 people, and the surrounding forces focused on the fact that everyone in this army has achieved that everyone has leather armor, and the generals have iron armor, and Liang Changfeng's personal guard team of 300 people, everyone actually wears chain mail, although this is nothing in the regular army, but in these local forces, it is rare to see. Liang Changfeng also quickly became one of the most influential figures in Qingzhou. Of course, in this army, the Dingzhou Supervision Yuan mixed a large amount of sand into it, and dozens of Dingzhou grassroots officers changed their appearance and joined this army, taking charge of the army's military training and the imparting of combat knowledge.
Of course, in Qingzhou, there is also the Ge family in Gaolan County who has such power, but the difference is that the Ge family is attached to the Luoyang Staff, and the Staffing Division has also formed an army of thousands of people for the Ge clan from the Xingzhou Zhou Tong Army.
Liang Changfeng ushered in a guest when it was getting dark, and Liang Changfeng knew that this person's status in Dingzhou must be extremely high as soon as the guest entered the door, because the person in charge of the Dingzhou Supervision Institute in Qingzhou, who had been in contact with him, did not even dare to take a breath in front of this person, respectfully and respectfully, and followed him step by step.
"This is Lord Ji Sichen, vice president of the Dingzhou Supervision Yuan!" When he heard that the person in charge of the Qingzhou Branch of the Supervision Yuan told him the identity of the person who came here, Liang Changfeng was suddenly startled. Sure enough, it is an out-and-out big man, such a character came to Qingzhou, there must be something big to happen, is Dingzhou going to launch an attack on Qingzhou, but it's not like ah, Dingzhou is now fighting fiercely with King Ning in Weizhou, and the news from all sides seems that Dingzhou is not in good shape, King Ning's hundreds of thousands of troops poured into Weizhou, and the Dingzhou army is losing and retreating, and now it only controls the limited area around Weizhou City, which makes Liang Changfeng have a bad feeling, and even thinks about whether to cut off contact with the other party, Although Dingzhou has infiltrated its own army, these people have always been under their own control, and as long as they are willing, they can be wiped out with an order.
"I've seen Master Ji!" Liang Changfeng was about to kneel down when he bent his knees, but Ji Sichen smiled and reached out to help him and stopped him, "Lord Liang, don't be polite." ”
After a few words of greetings between the two sides, they officially cut to the topic, "I don't know if Master Ji came to Gufu for a long time, what advice do you have?" Liang Changfeng personally served hot tea to Ji Sichen.
Ji Sichen smiled slightly, slowly and rationally plucked the foam on the tea, tasted a few sips, put down the teacup, and said: "Now that our army is fighting fiercely with King Ning in Weizhou, I don't know what Lord Liang thinks of this war?" ”
Liang Changfeng was stunned, looked at the other party's smiling face, and said hesitantly: "Although it seems unfavorable at the moment, with the courage of my Dingzhou army, there should be no danger, and the final victory will definitely be achieved." ”
Ji Sichen glanced at him deeply, "I heard that Lord Liang's army has some opinions on this matter, and there are many discussions, and the army's heart is unstable!" ”
Liang Changfeng's hand shook, the tea in the teacup almost spilled out, he had discussed this matter with several core figures of the Liang family, and discussed whether to continue to follow the Dingzhou army, because the argument was fierce and there was no final conclusion, listening to the other party's tone, he seemed to understand this matter very clearly, and a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes. The other party is not just in contact with themselves in the Liang army, they also have other chess pieces.
Ji Sichen saw the other party's flashing eyes, but he casually reached out to dust off his clothes, stroked his long beard, and said word by word: "I'm here to tell Lord Liang a message." ”
"I don't know what the news is, I want Lord Lao Ji to go on a trip in person?" Liang Changfeng settled down, since the other party dared to come here alone, he must have a confrontation, otherwise with the identity of such a person, how could he risk his life.
"A few days ago, my Dingzhou lord led tens of thousands of troops, crossed the Hanhai, captured Quancheng and Yingcheng in one fell swoop, and cut off the back road of more than 200,000 troops of the southern army Hu Zequan, Lan Yu, Zeng Yifan, and Xu Sichen, and the tens of thousands of Dingzhou elites of General Lu Dalin all entered Weizhou, and launched a counterattack against the southern army together with General Tian Feng's two armies."
With a snort, Liang Changfeng stood up.
