When the people of Feng'an City woke up, they were horrified to find that the streets were full of Tanda soldiers, and "Tanda" was the common name of the people in the border area for the Murwei people. What is puzzling is that these Tanda people on the street are now also wearing the uniforms of the Tang Army, and under the banner of the Tang Army, they are taking over the defense of the Xining Army, which originally belonged to the Xining Army.

Last night, a rebellion broke out in the Tiger Camp stationed in the south of the city, and the rebels burned down the camp and quickly captured the south gate of Fengzhou. The Fengzhou battalion in the south of the city and the broken captives camp in the east of the city were ordered to go to suppress it. But both battalions figuratively fired a few arrows at the rebels before retreating to camp. Suo E, the commander of the camp, expelled the Qincha from the camp at dawn, and crossed the Yellow River south to Luoyanchuan to carry out military reclamation.

Luoyanchuan has flat terrain and fertile soil, and is one of the twelve military reclamation areas selected by Yang Hao. The Fengzhou battalion did not leave, and Yu Hong, the captain of the unified army, honestly and unceremoniously sent the Qingsu team sent by Zeng Chongyang out of the battalion, and he announced that the purge of the Fengzhou battalion had been completed, and there was no more royal party element in the battalion.

At this time, the leopard camp stationed in the north of the city also closed the camp gate all day long, not allowing a single soldier to enter or leave, and not allowing the Qingsu team to enter the camp. Zeng Chongyang's worst fear happened, and those die-hard elements in the Xining army turned from the original yang and yin disobedience to open resistance. If this unhealthy trend is allowed to spread, the situation in Toyosu is likely to get out of control.

After conspiring with Zhang Huchen and others all night, Zeng Chongyang exercised his power as a minister and sent envoys north to the prairie to invite Li Shaoqing's "Guiyi Army" into the city to take over the city defense. Li Shaoqing is a native of Murowei, formerly known as Mosmiro, living in Yunzhou, because of his ancestral merits to the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Jingzong gave him the surname Li. The "Guiyi Army" led by him was subordinate to the Youzhou Jiedu envoys, with a number of about 8,000, mainly composed of the Murwei people, mixed with the Shatuo people, Khitans and Uighurs.

Although the Guiyi Army was nominally subordinate to Hedong, it was active in the northeast of Yinshan all year round. For the military orders of Hedong, if it is beneficial, it will be listened to, and if it is not profitable, it will not be heard. Li Shaoqing not only accepted the official positions granted by the Tang Dynasty, but also accepted the official positions and titles granted by the Khitan and Uighurs, and even married a Khitan lord as his wife.

After receiving Zeng Chongyang's secret letter, Li Shaoqing led 5,000 cavalry to aid Fengzhou in the starry night. Jiuniang will uphold Zeng Chongyang's will and switch and release. Li Shaoqing divided 1,000 troops into Feng'an, and personally led the main force of 4,000 people to Fengzhou. Zeng Chongyang went out of the city for 20 miles to greet him, and personally handed over the defense of Fengzhou City to the hands of the "Guiyi Army".

Within a year, Fengzhou experienced a series of wars, all industries withered, and the people's livelihood suffered. Although there were millions of silver in the treasury, there was nowhere to buy grain and grass in the city. Originally, raising four battalions of food and grass for the garrison had already given Zhang Huchen a headache, but now there has been a sudden increase of 4,000 men and horses to eat and drink, and Zhang Huchen is even more stumbling and unsustainable.

Zeng Chongyang then ordered every two families in the city to support one person and one horse for the Guiyi army, and the soldiers lived in the people's homes, and the households were to be entertained with good wine and food, and the horses were to be fed with fine materials. Those who have grievances and deliberately neglect will be severely punished. As soon as this order came out, the people of Fengzhou were bitter.

Li Shaoqing's Guiyi army was accustomed to lawlessness in the grasslands of Saibei, and its arrogance could not be restrained at all after entering the city. When the soldiers saw that the government was blindly accommodating, they treated the people in the city as slaves, and they wanted to eat, drink, and drink with women. If the beaten people resist the slightest, the soldiers will take their families to the county government office and let the local officials severely punish them.

If the officials did not like what they wanted, the soldiers and even the officials of the government office insulted and beat them. Zeng Chongyang strictly ordered that when handling cases involving the "Guiyi Army," officials of all sizes in the county and prefecture offices must be "strict with themselves and lenient with others," and that they should "not fight back, scold and greet the Guiyi soldiers who commit murder," and those who violate the law must be dismissed from their posts on the spot and strictly dealt with.

Zeng Chongyang's song was welcomed in exchange for Li Shaoqing's full support, and after the subordinates of the Guiyi Army were completed. Zeng Chongyang decided to take the Fengzhou battalion to make an example, and completely subdued the Fengzhou garrison. Prior to this, Zeng Chongyang, in his capacity as the superintendent of the Qincha, announced the disbandment of the people's army created by Yang Hao. Officers at both levels of the militia regiment are to be dismissed on the spot.

Most of the people of Fengzhou were dissatisfied with the people's army created by Yang Hao. The main reason for dissatisfaction is to disturb the people, and it is a matter of being a soldier to go into battle to kill the enemy, since you have eaten the imperial grain, you should go into battle to kill the enemy and defend the land for the country.

The small people grow their own food and do their own small business in peace, why should the small people put down their livelihood to dance with knives and guns? Take a step back and say, it is the freedom of your government to train troops and defend the land and defend your home, but after all, it is a man's business to go into battle and fight, you let young and strong men join the people's army, why do you want the big girl and the little daughter-in-law to let go? What is this not a nuisance?

Therefore, when Zeng Chongyang announced the disbandment of the People's Army, the people of Fengzhou beat gongs and drums and cheered. The lieutenants and sentry commanders of the militia regiment who had been dismissed were ordered to leave the country within a time limit, and those who did not leave within the time limit were deported by the yamen.

At dawn on the third day of the disbandment of the People's Army, the four gates of Fengzhou were closed, and 1,200 Guiyi soldiers suddenly launched an attack on the Fengzhou camp of the Xining Army. The Fengzhou battalion belonged to the garrison of the Xining Army, and its combat effectiveness was not very strong, and before that, it was killed by the Qingsu team nearly 100 "remnants of the royal party". Suddenly besieged by an enemy three times his size, he was in an extremely disadvantageous position from the beginning.

The battle began at dawn and lasted until late afternoon, when the Tanda people broke through the camp of the Toyosu camp. Half of the soldiers of the Fengzhou battalion were killed in battle, and half obeyed the orders of Yu Hong, the commander of the unified army, to abandon their weapons and surrender. It is rumored that the reason why Yu Hong agreed to surrender was because he was assured by Zeng Chongyang, the minister of the Qin Mission: the surrender will not be investigated.

However, when the soldiers of the Toyosu battalion laid down their weapons, the Tanda people immediately turned their faces. They led 218 unarmed soldiers to the intersection and slaughtered them all. Before Yu Hong was sentenced, he scolded Zeng Chongyang for not believing his words, and his tongue was cut off by the Danda soldiers, tied to the pillar at the entrance of Zhenbao Zhai, and he was cut sixty-eight times before he was angry.

The blood of the soldiers stained the streets, and the cries of the families were even more earth-shattering. Most of the soldiers in the Toyoshu battalion were locals of Toyoshu, and they broke bones and tendons. The brutality of the people of the city angered the people of the city, and the people, according to the original establishment of the people's army, gathered in front of the gate of the Assassin's Mansion in a group to demand that Zhang Huchen severely punish the murderer.

Zhang Huchen tried to appease the emotional people of Fengzhou and promised to give the deceased a certain amount of comfort, but when the people demanded that he severely punish the murderer, Zhang Huchen looked embarrassed and speechless. The angry people began to throw rotten eggs at the gate of the Assassin's Mansion, and Zhang Huchen hid back in embarrassment, refusing to show his face again.

That night, an autumn rain fell in Toyoshu, and the weather suddenly became colder. The petitioners dispersed one after another, but hundreds of people still knelt in front of the Assassin's Mansion in the rain. At the time of the appointment, hundreds of brocade-clothed guards armed with wooden sticks suddenly rushed out of the Assassin's Mansion, beating men, women, children and children, regardless of men, women, children and children. The petitioners resisted slightly, and were immediately labeled as rebellious and arrested and imprisoned on the spot.

After dispersing the petitioners in front of the Assassin's Mansion, Zeng Chongyang ordered the entire city to search for the remnants of the Wang Party.

On the second watch of the night, thousands of Tanda soldiers and hundreds of assassins from the four directions of east, west, north and south began a large-scale search for the whole city. The manhunt lasted only half an hour before it turned into a blatant looting. Under the guise of searching for rebellion, the soldiers of the rebel army broke into the house, and everywhere they went, the goods were empty, the women and children were plundered into slavery, and the young and strong men were all killed as kings.

The people of Toyosu suddenly came to their senses under the butcher's knife, and they picked up kitchen knives and sticks to beat the robbers who broke into their homes. And quickly assembled according to the establishment of the people's army. By dawn, the entire city of Toyosu was boiling, and the rebel army composed of tens of thousands of people fought to the death against the Tanda invaders.

Zeng Chongyang obviously did not expect such an outcome, on the one hand, he forced Zhang Huchen to have officials in the police station, arrest and suppress the people, and on the other hand, he sent people to the leopard camp to urge Gao Yang, the captain of the unified army, to send troops to quell the chaos.

Gao Yang held his troops for a long time, and after a few hours, the Jinfeng Battalion stationed in the Ice Rock Valley suddenly sent two sentinels into the city, quickly occupied the Thorn History Mansion, and detained all the officials of Fengzhou below Zhang Huchen. At the same time, Gao Yang led the leopard battalion to storm the tent of the Guiyi army, and Li Shaoqing was caught off guard and escaped with only a dozen people.

Zeng Chongyang, who was supervising the suppression of the rebellion in the south of the city, heard that the Leopard Battalion and the Jinfeng Battalion were about to defect, and he was extremely embarrassed, so he had no choice but to lead the Qin Guards to retreat to Feng'an.

The Feng'an garrison had five battalions of the Xining Army and one thousand cavalry of Li Shaoqing. The Jingqi Battalion and Feng'an Battalion in the five battalions of the Xining Army are the old departments of Zhuang Yunqing, the Tiedang Battalion is the old department of Ling Tong, the main force is stationed in Jiuniangguan at this time, and the first police battalion is the old department of Han Junfeng, the former Feng'an assassin Shi Han Junfeng, and the main force is south of the Yellow River at this moment. And Yang Hao's pro-military battalion has been merged into the Qincha Guard, and is now controlled by Zeng Chongyang's confidant Scarface Zhu Qi.

Li Shaoqing's "Guiyi Army" did not withdraw from Feng'an City until the afternoon, and this melee was actually a loss of soldiers, more than 1,000 soldiers were killed and wounded, and more than a dozen generals and colonels were killed, and even Zeng Chongyang and Zhang Huchen did not have time to bring out more than a dozen singers who sent him. Li Shaoqing regretted it, but there was more confusion in his heart: what kind of force made the small people who were scattered and slaughtered suddenly become so difficult to deal with?

Although Li Shaoqing was a native of Murowei, he had studied many ancient books and regulations in the Central Plains, and in order to understand the mystery in Xingzhong, he ordered his subordinates to bring more than a dozen captured civilian soldiers to the tent for careful interrogation. The People's Army is an organization called the People's Army that was forcibly disbanded by Zeng Chongyang a few days ago, and at a critical juncture, the people who were scattered in the sand spontaneously organized themselves to pick up swords and guns to defend their homeland!

"Sure enough, he is a strategist of the kingdom, and his knowledge is superior." Li Shaoqing was sincerely amazed by Zeng Chongyang's foresight, and he didn't bother to know what the casualties of the people's army in the city were this time—it must have been several times that of the Guiyi army.

"Someone! Send my general order, all the camps, and send the troops to Feng'an City! ”

When he learned that Suo's camp had crossed the river to the north and was about to copy his own back road. Li Shaoqing decisively issued an order that the Guiyi Army would immediately attack the east to occupy Feng'an, and the face lost in Fengzhou must be recovered in Feng'an.
