Although the plan was set to fight first and then recruit An, but the dense camp of the Ming army outside the city still made the regimental training camp generals feel great pressure, everyone was worried not about the problem of combat effectiveness, but about the inability to maintain military discipline, once the mouth of the blatant robbery of the people was opened, their team and bandits were almost the same, these days there have been violations of military discipline reported to the military discipline officer, want to confiscate all the food from the homes of the common squire, it is inevitable to meet resistance, ordinary soldiers are exposed to these ugly scenes, It is also a huge blow to morale.

Everyone discussed for a long time, and finally came up with a way to transfer hatred, that is, to let the disarmed Changping Zheng Barracks work for them, they sent inspection teams to the streets to supervise, Changping City, countless soldiers walked through the streets, carrying large bags of food, where these soldiers went, where were chickens flying and dogs jumping, some women were holding rice bags, screaming, crying and refusing to let go, the soldiers of the barracks were holding wooden sticks and threatening loudly, but the soldiers of the regimental training camp stood silently with bright knives and guns, The scene is very weird.

In order to alleviate the tension in the city, the regimental training camp temporarily moved on the officials and magnates, in order to appease the people, the instructors racked their brains to come up with many slogans, such as what to fight the local tyrants and distribute food, etc., which made the originally frightened people calm down a lot, and even many people watched together with the mentality of watching the excitement, of course, they did not know that the top management of the regimental training camp had decided to concentrate the people's food according to the regional division after ten days, but as long as these people could not infringe on their own interests, Who cares if someone lives or dies?

"Brother Li. How can there be such a poor official? Xu Kehu, a soldier in the second platoon of the second platoon of the third company of the Qingfan Battalion, looked at the air and asked Li Fan, the soldier next to him.

Li Fan looked at the two wolf-like soldiers in the barracks and threatened loudly while fighting with a woman for a package containing a small half-bag of grain. Shook his head and said: "I don't know, the instructors on the team often say that these officials are all rich, and now it doesn't seem to be the case." ”

"Isn't it?" Xu Kehu nodded again and again: "I heard that Zhao Jun's team has also encountered poorer and sourer, it seems that some county teaching, the family is neatly dressed and can't find a grain of grain, I heard that he also took an IOU, and his family still owes a few taels of silver to the grain store?" ”

"What happened then?" Li Fan asked curiously

"What can you do? Return. Zhao Jun was about to cry if he searched again, and those few maids were actually pretending to be relatives of the old man, you said. How much of a sin is this for the sake of face? Xu Kehu smacked his lips, shook his head and said, "I don't know why I will treat the official as this part?" ”

Li Fan said disapprerovingly: "That's also a small number of people who don't enter, and they can't get any oil and water, you look at a few big clans in Beiguan." The food in the house is piled up. Relying on the fact that there are many officials and no one dares to provoke the locals, they actually summoned the family to fight against us, and finally killed a few leaders to be honest, do you think this is not fat? ”

Xu Kehu sighed and said, "Let's fight for the imperial court, what will happen to us?" Camp Commander Zheng ...... Alas, let's not work for the imperial court. ”

Li Fan also nodded and said, "So we have to rebel and wait for the imperial court to send someone to recruit peace." The murder was revealed, and there was an adult covering it when I returned to Lushun. Who dares to bully us? I'm content with days like this. ”

Xu Kehu shook his head and said: "I can still follow the adult, the instructor said that the court attacked us to weaken the strength of the adult, what kind of lackey is cooking?" What kind of accident do you have, don't talk about us, who can go well in the three places of Lushun? ”

Li Fan nodded in agreement: "That's right, don't these bastards want to deal with adults?" Let's make a big deal for him, and in the future, if these bastards want to make a black hand against adults, they will have to weigh and weigh to see who is afraid of whom. ”

While the two were talking, the scene was a little out of control, the woman couldn't stop the snatching of the two soldiers after all, a small bag of food was taken away, she was crying and scolding while holding the leg of the soldier behind her, and several children behind the woman cried in horror.

The soldier trembled a few times and couldn't shake it off, so he could only look at Li Fan and them for help, according to the bandits' robbery routine, he should have scolded a few words, and then hacked this entangled woman to death with a knife, but he didn't dare, and he didn't have a knife.

"Be a bitch and leave the archway!" The two soldiers cursed a few words in their stomachs.

Li Fan pulled out the knife, Xu Kehu covered the handle of the gun, and the two of them walked towards the woman who was holding her legs murderously, the atmosphere became tense, and several men ran over to pull the woman away, but she didn't expect the woman to be ruthless, and she didn't let go......

"How many people are in your family?" Li Fan held the knife and looked around vigilantly, and then asked the woman.

"Master Jun, Master Jun is gracious, right? There are more than a dozen people in my family, and there is only so much food at home, and you take it, and our family will starve to death? Please beg the military master to be merciful, there are old and young in my family, and more than a dozen people are killed......" The woman cried and hissed.

Xu Kehu took a bright iron gun and drove away several hateful men beside the woman, and Li Fan squatted down and said to the woman: "The army has surrounded the city, and you can't get out in a short time, besides, how many days can you eat with this little food?" If you confiscate the grain, what is the collective distribution at that time, that is, the grain of the rich family's will be evenly distributed and shared equally among everyone, do you understand? Although the daily gruel and dried vegetables are better than starvation, isn't it? Speaking of which, we have suffered a big loss, and we have to feed your whole family of more than a dozen people with such a little food, who do you say suffers? ”

The woman ignored it, still crying and grabbing the ground with her legs, Li Fan had no choice, before leaving, the instructor explained some skills for dealing with emergencies, the most important one is to let these people's focus be removed from the food, they call it removing the source of excitement, Li Fan thought about it and said: "Several porridge shacks in the north of the city have begun to line up to receive porridge, and it will be too late if you delay any longer." ”

A man couldn't help but scold: "Lao Tzu has lived for decades, and I haven't heard of bandits robbing things and spitting them out, today you want to rob our family of this bit of life food, unless you kill more than a dozen of my family." ”

Li Fan was furious and scolded: "Then why don't you call a baby to take a look?" ”

It was a long time coming. Li Fan and Xu Kehu escorted the two soldiers back to the warehouse with half a bag of grain on their backs to report, but no one was killed anyway, which made several people breathe a sigh of relief. On the Beiguan side, it was much more serious, with many bloody heads hanging on the streets, including family members who gathered to resist, officials who took the lead in making trouble, and soldiers in the barracks who carried out looting......

It was the first time that the soldiers of the regimental training camp really walked out of the Lushun barracks and began to face the strange world outside Lushun. Changping at the feet of the Son of Heaven has made many people lose themselves, however, more like Li Fan. Ordinary soldiers like Xu Kehu felt that the officials and magnates who were originally arrogant were so vulnerable in front of them, and these high-ranking nobles were so weak in front of them, this shock could not be described in words. But they gradually began to understand their strength. As long as you are firmly in a group, why worry about the imperial army outside the city? If there are more brothers, even the emperor Lao Tzu of the capital can be overturned, right?

On November 23, the tenth day of the siege of Changping......

With the long-term attack, the morale of the soldiers and horses from all walks of life was greatly lost, and the high-level gradually had different voices, and the opinions of the hope lord began to gradually rise, mainly the leading generals and squires in the Changping area, including Changping General Soldier Chao Pichang and others. And Liu Zunxian, Wang Zhaokun and others still insist that the heavenly soldiers have arrived. If the ministries are unwilling to work together to move forward, they will go to the imperial court to ask for the transfer of Juyongguan, Shanhaiguan and other elite soldiers and horses, the supervision of the army Wei Guo was originally a little hesitant, but after receiving the news that the new ambassador Zong Yuanfang and his party were less than five days away from Changping, they finally made up their minds.

But Wang Zhaokun and others are not prestige enough, and can not restrain military discipline, all kinds of soldiers and horses are in violation of the yang and yang, the siege is powerless, robbing and killing the counties and townships near Changping is very active, for a time outside the city around the corpse pillow, Wang Zhaokun and other humanistic people led the troops, in order to count on these soldiers to suppress the thieves, not only did not stop but secretly connived, Wang Zhaokun and others' behavior aroused the dissatisfaction of the local gentry, they originally hoped that Wang Shi could quell the mutiny as soon as possible, but did not expect that these Wang Shi was more ferocious than the rebels in the city, and the performance of the imperial court Wang Shi disappointed and chilled, But under the pressure of righteousness, they did not dare to object, but also for the army to raise food and grass, help recruit auxiliaries, build siege equipment, appease the local people, etc., for a time, the surrounding counties and townships were complaining, people's hearts floated.

On the same day, Wang Zhaokun and others attacked the city again, the Ming army besieged Changping on all sides, attacked endlessly, fought until noon, the regimental training camp opened the east gate, and the army and horses of the Tongzhou headquarters who attacked the east gate did not know what the plan was, and swarmed in, but they did not expect to be ambushed by a platoon gun when they entered the east gate, where did the Tongzhou soldiers encounter this kind of strength of confrontation? Suddenly panicked, trampled on countless casualties, and Wang Anlu, the commander of the Tongzhou military garrison, took advantage of the chaos to escape with his life, but more than 300 soldiers were lost in the city.

Hearing of the fiasco at the East Gate, the rest of the soldiers and horses were frightened, Wang Zhaokun and others saw that their morale had been lost, and in desperation, only Mingjin retreated.

Looking at the corpses of the dead and wounded at the east gate, everyone was shocked in their hearts, the rebels in the city were strong and arrogant, uncontained, and now the confrontation had become a trend, Wang Zhaokun and the others knew that there was not much time left for them, but there was no way to think about it.

"For now, I can only ask for more troops?" In the big tent of the Chinese army, Liu Zunxian, who was dressed in a drape, broke the silence.

Wang Zhaokun frowned, there is no interface, if you want to quell the rebellion, you will definitely not be able to rely on these wine bags and rice bags, but if you increase the troops, wouldn't you clearly tell the court that you are incompetent?

Seeing that Wang Zhaokun was silent, Liu Zunxian said again: "The weather is cold now, the chaotic soldiers water the city wall, slippery and unclimbable, our equipment is rough, the damage of the back attack is too great, the morale of the soldiers of each battalion is low, dragging it down is not good for us?" ”

Wang Zhaokun raised his eyes to look at Liu Zunxian, then looked at Wei Guo, the supervising army who lowered his head and pondered, cleared his throat and said, "What does Gonggong Wei mean?" ”

Wei Guo raised his head, waved his hand and said sharply: "Your Majesty explained to our family that it is a great achievement to ensure that Tianshou Mountain is unhindered, and as for Changping, Lord Wang can act cheaply." ”

Wang Zhaokun was furious, and scolded in his heart: "Dead eunuch, old fox!" Why don't you see your humility when you snatch credit? Today, the east gate lost slightly, and the black pot was wiped out! ”

"Good!" Wang Zhaokun thought about it and finally made up his mind: "In this case, the lower officials will go to the imperial court, please increase the number of troops and horses!" ”

That night, Wang Zhaokun's recital entered Beijing and was handed to the emperor, and Wang Zhaokun played in the letter: "...... The Changping rebels are strong, the city includes the governor He Qian's family, the military commander Zhang Zhaokun, the head of the household Wang Gui, the judge Wang Yuzuo, Hu Weihong, the chief eunuch Wang Xizhong and all other officials, and the literati and squires have been thieves, there is a great favor of the court, although the rebels occupy the danger, the city is abundant in grain and grass, the king has attacked the city several times, and the losses are quite many, so the rebels are arrogant, resist the court, refuse to surrender, and ask His Majesty to increase the army to 50,000, not the ministers are incompetent, but the sky destroys the city. ”

If what Wang Zhaokun and others said is true, then it is not a matter of rebellion in the regimental training camp, but the entire Changping officialdom has rebelled, and the blow to the imperial court is far from being comparable to that of a mere regimental training battalion!

The situation is serious, many people began to calculate silently in their hearts, Changping in addition to the regimental training camp also has the main barracks department, a strange barracks, if these soldiers and the regimental training camp are in cahoots, the whole city is rebellious, in addition to dispatching a large army to clear out, relying on Tongzhou alone, the soldiers and horses in the Shunyi area are indeed unable to gnaw.

The court whispered, Wen Tiren still couldn't get sick, Xie Sheng and other Shangshu have been silent about the rebellion in Changping recently, and their attitude is silent, although there are many people who have doubts in their hearts, after all, the situation in Changping is the words of Wang Zhaokun and others, but the people of Wen Tiren and his family do not speak out, and they don't need to speak, in case Emperor Chongzhen sends himself to Changping to appease the rebels on a whim, it will be worth the loss.

"This soldier Zhang Aiqing, how is the war in southern Liaoning recently? Yang Wenyue and the others can come up? After a moment of coldness, Emperor Chongzhen finally asked the question that everyone was concerned about, what was Yang Bo's attitude towards the Changping Mutiny? (To be continued......)
