Chapter 419: Rebellion Again

Hu Shen took a sip of warm haode rice wine, and he felt that the pores on his body were also comfortably relaxed. General Hu Shen thought very well, although the remaining camp may share less military merits and captures, but in this rainy season, he can safely hide in the warm rear, and then get some tricks when shipping heavy grain and grass, this can be regarded as a small beauty.

The only pity is that the Shaanxi bandits are about to surrender, and such a good day may come to an end. General Hu Shen calculated that after the completion of this crackdown on bandits, Governor Chen would definitely soar, so if he gave Governor Chen a large sum of his savings over the years to change to a garrison with plenty of oil and water and a peaceful place, then he would have a settlement for the rest of his life.

But at this moment, the big tent suddenly broke into a few people, and General Hu Shen looked at it, and the leader was the Li Lu Li guerrilla who had been haunted for the past few days.

"What's the matter? Brother Li! General Hu's tone was full of impatience, "I know that you are a little unhappy that Your Excellency the Governor will let you transport grain, but have I treated you badly these days, brother?" Have I been vague about the tarpaulin you want? Even the Governor sent someone to urge food, and I said a few good words for you, but why didn't you move? Don't really eat military law at that time! Tell you ......"

"Alright!" Li Lu waved his hand to interrupt General Hu's drinking, "I also watched Lao Hu and you came to tell you that the Shaanxi bandits have already left the carriage gorge, and they are really a fraud!" They're the opposite! ”

"Huh!?" General Hu Shen's wine glass fell to the ground with a "clang", and his wine was completely frightened awake, "Brother Li, you're not kidding!" ”

"Who has the leisure to make such jokes? Damn, those ghost grandsons guarding the mouth of the canyon have been beaten and defeated, and tens of thousands of Shaanxi bandits are now coming towards us! It looks like they're just going to grab the food and grass in the camp. ”

"So what do we do?" There was already some crying in General Hu's words.

"What else can I do? Let's go! Do you want to rely on our thousands of old and weak soldiers to stop the hungry and crazy Shaanxi bandits? To be clear, I'll leave as soon as I've said these things to you. Make your own arrangements. I can take as much grain and grass as I can with the camp and the rest will be yours. But don't drag it on too long, I guess it's only a day's work for the bandits to be from us. ”

After finishing speaking, Li Lu turned around and left General Hu's tent. General Hu Shen was stunned for a while, then suddenly woke up and shouted outside the tent: "Assemble! Let's go! ”

Chen Qiyu asked the imperial court about the surrender of the peasant rebel army, and after Emperor Chongzhen and the six important ministers of the cabinet discussed, Zuihou decided to agree to appease.

There are two main reasons for this. One point is still the financial problem of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen felt that he could save some expenses after being appeased; Another point is that Chen Qiyu's recital reveals a great grasp of appeasement.

Because of Chen Qiyu's brilliant results before, Emperor Chongzhen and the important ministers of the court at this time also trusted Chen Qiyu quite a lot. Even if some ministers suspected that the peasant rebels had surrendered, those ministers were unwilling to come forward at this time and offend Chen Qiyu by making that crow's mouth.

Therefore, after receiving the support of Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and personally approved by Emperor Chongzhen. On behalf of the imperial court, Chen Qiyu reached an agreement with the peasant rebel army to recruit peace.

In the Zhao'an agreement, Chen Qiyu sent a pacification officer for every 100 people according to the number of peasant rebel soldiers. Responsible for repatriation and resettlement of the country of origin; The local government supplies grain and grass to the prefecture and county; At the same time, the official army was stopped from marching. so as not to have conflicts.

This recruitment agreement seems to be very well thought out, but as long as it is carefully analyzed, this can no longer be said to be a dream, but to be mentally retarded.

The most critical point is that even if the peasant rebels really accepted the appeasement, they returned to Shaanxi, which was thousands of miles away. If you don't eat or drink, aren't you all going to rebel again?

Chen Qiyu and these civil officials should not patronize the four books and five classics, they should also look at the wild book - "Water Margin", which is after the recruitment of Shuibo Liangshan. Song Ting immediately sent these hundred and eight generals to fight with Fang La.

This method of consuming strength can be used completely, huh? Wouldn't they throw those appeased peasant rebels to Liaodong and let them fight to the death with Houjin?

But this is not the most deadly, at least if Chen Qiyu takes effective measures, the peasant rebellion will be suppressed in a short time. But at this time, Chen Qiyu began to make stupid moves again, which also showed that he had no experience in appeasement at all.

First of all, Chen Qiyu should control Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, the leaders of the peasant rebel army. Since Li Zicheng and the others have accepted Zhao'an, there is no reason to stay in their own troops, right? As long as the leaders of the peasant rebel army and the soldiers are separated, then even if any accident happens, at least there will be no big waves.

However, Chen Qiyu wanted to succeed in recruiting An, and he was afraid that he would control the actions of the leaders of the peasant rebel army, which would cause Li Zicheng and them to worry about killing and surrendering, so in order to ensure the success of Zhao'an, Chen Qiyu let Li Zicheng and them stay in his own troops.

The second is that the peasant rebel army that left the carriage gorge was not broken up. Although Chen Qiyu stipulated that every 100 people should be sent a pacification officer to be monitored, but when the peasant rebel army was formed, they could raise the anti-flag again at any time, and they could not care about the surveillance of the pacification officers around them, nor were they afraid of the Ming army escorted by those pacification officers.

Zuihou, that is, the most stupid point, is that when the peasant rebel army left the carriage gorge, Chen Qiyu immediately supplied a large amount of grain, grass and clothing, so that the peasant rebel army was fed and clothed. The peasant rebels, who were hungry and cold, immediately recuperated and soon regained their combat effectiveness.

It's really a little confusing, why is Chen Qiyu so anxious? Is it to show his own benevolence, but that will not be shown until the dust settles! Now Chen Qiyu has not completely controlled the peasant rebels, he can only supply a small amount of grain and grass, as long as the peasant rebels do not starve to death, so that they do not have the physical strength to rebel!

The officials who escorted them were even more different from the soldiers of the Ming army, who exchanged the grain, grass and clothing they carried with them for a large amount of property from the peasant rebels, and even some Ming soldiers exchanged their armor and weapons.

Under the escort of the pacification officer and the Ming army, the trapped 36,000 peasant rebels walked out of the plank road safely and unharmed. Moreover, a few days ago, the soldiers of the two armies who were still alive and die actually had a fish and water relationship, and they had clothes and food together. It's nice to get along with each other.

There is even a situation where you can drink and drink, ride easily, and sleep with your feet. This loss of vigilance is simply staggering. Under the honest and honest appearance of the peasant rebels, they seized the time of the day out of the plank road, sorted out their armor, adjusted their bowstrings, and prepared for another mutiny.

On the night of the next day, the peasant rebels bound the pacifiers with all their might, or killed, or cut off their ears, or reprimanded with rods, or tied up and threw them around. After quickly defeating the Ming troops escorted around, Chen Qiyu's encirclement and suppression completely fell short. More than half a year ago, the Michidu incident was repeated again.

As for Li Lu, who was always vigilant against the fraudulent surrender of the peasant rebels, they set up an artificial beacon by waving red flags. When it was discovered in the early morning of the third day that the peasant rebels had rebelled again, in just one hour, the news reached the ears of Li Lu, who had been grinding in the rear camp for several days.

So after informing General Hu of the news, Li Lu immediately took all the soldiers with him. took all the heavy grain and grass that could be carried, and then went back to Ye County without looking back.

And the Hu Shen general who reacted. I don't want to spend any more time verifying the news. He took with more than 2,000 soldiers who stayed behind in the rear camp, and also carried all the heavy grain and grass that he could carry, and burned all the remaining tents and supplies, and then fled in the southeast direction.

The encirclement and suppression army commanded by Chen Qiyu was defeated and scattered by the peasant rebel army that rebelled again, plus it lost the heavy grain and grass of the rear battalion. Therefore, after finally retracting it, it also lost the ability to maneuver in a short time, and could only watch the peasant rebels wreak havoc everywhere.

As a result, the peasant rebel army successively sent troops to attack Baoji, Linyou and other places, and trapped seven counties in a row. Along the way, there was burning, killing, and looting, and the situation was very bad. The peasant rebels also quickly recovered by looting.

After the news reached the capital, Chen Qiyu suddenly became the finger of the thousands of people, and the official was impeached. At this time, Chen Qiyu didn't have the heart to command the army of bandits to save the situation, so he used the plan to move the disaster eastward.

Chen Qiyu first blamed Li Jiayan of Baoji Zhixian County, saying that he obstructed the situation and killed the radical change; Then he shifted the responsibility to the governor of Shaanxi to practice state affairs. However, Emperor Chongzhen did not understand the actual situation, and because this appeasement was approved by himself, out of the psychology of protecting his shortcomings, he successively ordered the arrest of Li Jiayan, Lian Guoshi and others, and ordered Li Qiao to take over as governor of Shaanxi.

But after all, paper can't hold the fire, so not long after, because Gu Guobao and Shaanxi Inspector Fu Yongchun and others accused Chen Qiyu of mistaking a major event, Emperor Chongzhen decided to dismiss Chen Qiyu and ask him.

In November of the seventh year of Chongzhen, Chen Qiyu was removed from the list and sent to the border. However, because Chen Qiyu was busy fighting Tai Chi with the imperial court for several months, the Ming army, which had basically lost its command, had no direction, and they all relied on their own instincts to act in a disorderly manner, so that the peasant rebel army took advantage of the gap in the command of the Ming army and quickly developed and expanded.

Although Chen Qiyu has only been the governor of the five provinces for a short period of more than half a year, judging from his performance, Chen Qiyu is still a very capable and courageous military commander.

Although Chen Qiyu had an unshirkable responsibility for the failure of the carriage gorge appeasement, Emperor Chongzhen never gave Chen Qiyu a chance to make meritorious contributions. And it is indeed a pity that the Ming Dynasty lost this talent.

When the peasant rebels were about to use the trick, Li Lu and Zhou Xun, who got the news, immediately passed the news back to Nanyang and Runing.

Although it was not certain whether the peasant rebel army really surrendered at that time, based on the reasons that Ning believed it, the Runing Army, which had already made a plan, immediately organized a cavalry regiment stationed in Nanyang and 500 cavalry of the Nanyang Legion, a total of 1,500 cavalry, led by He Fei, the commander of the Nanyang Legion, and galloped to meet Li Lu's return.

And the Runing Army Headquarters immediately canceled the vacation and was ready to deal with it. However, out of consideration for saving military salaries, Wu Shigong only sent a large number of scouts to the west, and did not immediately mobilize the soldiers and horses of his headquarters.

Because Wu Shigong thinks so. Even if the peasant rebel army made a fraudulent surrender plan, it would take a certain amount of time for them to re-enter Henan, and it might take longer to threaten the area controlled by the Runing army, so it was completely time to prepare for mobilization. However, Wu Shigong's eyes only looked at Li Zicheng's peasant rebels, and he ignored that there were still many bandits in Henan.

So as soon as he hesitated, the Nanyang Army, which lacked major generals, immediately faced a crisis. The more than 30,000 local bandits in Henan who besieged Nanyang Mansion suddenly turned to attack Longyan Village, which was defended by only a few hundred people. (To be continued......)
