Qian Dayou didn't even take a break, he chased people directly, just took the soldiers and horses out of the town, and suddenly saw a team of people and horses coming out of the woods on the right, and looked carefully, it was actually a group of officers and soldiers, and at a cursory glance, this team of soldiers was at least a thousand people.

As soon as the two parties looked at each other, they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and the next moment, Qian Dayou reacted, holding his saber high and shouting: "Kill me!" ”

These routs are stupid, they are trying to survive, but they have been running wildly all night, and their legs have not even stopped, and they are almost cramping when they run.

I thought I could escape a catastrophe, but I didn't expect to encounter such a large group of anti-thief chasers at this stall.

Where did the officers and men still have the heart to fight, they turned around and ran away.

The officers and soldiers ran, the rebels chased, thousands of people ran all over the mountains, a one-sided field battle fought in the north of the town until noon, more than 1,000 defeated soldiers finally escaped only a small number of people, most of them were either caught up and hacked to death or were captured alive.

However, after such a delay, Qian Dayou could no longer chase after the group of people who escaped from the inn, and Qian Dayou didn't know that the group that escaped was Liu Liangzuo and his group of senior officers.

Liu Liangzuo was carried all the way by his subordinates and fled to the outside of Shanggao County, at this time Shanggao County did not know the news of the defeat ahead, and the people were still entering the city to do business normally.

When they saw a group of officers and soldiers entering the city, the soldiers guarding the city gate were a little surprised, and they didn't know what was going on.

One of the generals at the end of the walk said to the soldiers guarding the gates: "Close the gates at once, and the thieves will come soon!" ”

Anti-thief? What anti-thief?

The officers and soldiers guarding the gate were confused.

Seeing that such a group of people were still standing in a daze, he couldn't help but raise his voice and shouted: "General Liu's army is defeated, and tens of thousands of thieves in Linjiang Mansion are rushing here, and those who want to live will close the city gate immediately!" ”

The officers and soldiers guarding the city were woken up by this loud yell, and then they reacted and hurriedly moved to close the city gate.

When the people saw that it was broad daylight, they suddenly wanted to close the city gate, and some bold people asked what was going on, and the officers and soldiers guarding the gate said impatiently: "The thieves of Yuanzhou are about to fight!" ”

When the people heard this, they were shocked.

One by one, they hurriedly fled into the city, for fear that they would not be able to enter the city if they walked slowly.

Chen Yi of Kamikochi County was trying a rape case in the county hall when suddenly a servant ran in from outside and whispered a few words in his ear.

After hearing this, Chen Yi was immediately shocked, and he didn't even bother to try the rape case, so he directly asked the officials to take all the two parties to prison, preparing to retry them at a later date.

After taking the plaintiff and the defendant away, Chen Yi asked the officer, "Is Mr. Liu really defeated?" ”

The official said: "It's really defeated, just now outside the city ran back dozens of routs, the county king asked them, last night the thieves stole the camp of General Liu's soldiers, the grain and grass were all burned, the army ran out of grain and grass, and the army was disbanded in an instant, the anti-thieves pursued in two ways, and the dead were countless, just now, there were thousands of anti-thieves in the area of Shuibei Xu, I am afraid that in another hour, they will go to our county!" ”

When Chen Yi heard this, he was immediately shocked and frightened, and his face was completely blank.

He sat down in his chair and muttered, "It's at risk, it's dangerous!" ”

Chen Yi has been in Kochi for more than two years, and he is very clear about the situation in this area.

Shanggao Xiaocheng has no soldiers and no generals, and Ruizhou Mansion cannot send troops and horses to rescue.

Since the Song Dynasty, Ruizhou has not set up a barracks, even if Taizu founded the country, but also because Ruizhou's location did not set up a guard in Ruizhou.

In the entire Ruizhou Mansion, there are less than 800 soldiers and horses.

Among them, there is only one sentry in Shanggao, and this sentry is not in the city, but in Yangpo, which is 30 miles away from the county seat, and there are only 125 officers and soldiers in it.

Fucheng Gao'an is not much better, and there is only one tooth outpost and one government camp.

There were more than 300 officers and soldiers at the tooth post, and there were 188 people in the government camp, but most of them were stationed in Tonggu.

As for Xinchang County (now Yifeng) to the north, it was even more chilling, there was only one outpost, and there were not even a hundred officers and soldiers.

That's all the soldiers and horses in the entire Ruizhou, and there are not enough eight hundred people with armor to gather together.

Eight hundred people, take the head to fight against tens of thousands of thieves.

Chen Yi immediately ordered: "Immediately notify the officers and soldiers of Yangpo Sentinel and ask them to withdraw to the city immediately, and in addition, send someone to Gao'an to inform the prefect Tao, asking him to immediately organize the village warriors and prepare to defend the city." ”

"Yes!"

The official took the urgent letter written by Chen Yi and took the boat into Gao'an, and as soon as he arrived in the city, the official handed the letter to the hands of the Ruizhou prefect.

Tao Luzhong took the letter and read it, he couldn't help but be shocked, he hurriedly called a cadre of officials from the government to discuss countermeasures, a group of officials discussed and discussed, and felt that the soldiers who should be stationed in the copper drum should be withdrawn, and immediately organized the village warriors to prepare to defend the city.

Tao Luzhong also knew that the matter was urgent now, so he immediately made a decision, wrote a notice, and recruited troops in Fucheng.

Qian Dayou's side caught a group of routed soldiers in Shuibeixu, captured six or seven hundred people, and the rebel soldiers pursued them all the way to the Huangniuling in the north of Shuibeixu, and then they stopped chasing.

Rushing all the way from Qingjiang to here, Qian Dayou led his troops to walk more than 60 miles, without any heavy grain and grass, and without logistical support, so there was naturally no need to continue to fight this pursuit battle.

Otherwise, his subordinates will not be able to bear it.

Qian Dayou captured six or seven hundred captives and returned to the camp victoriously, while Lu Zhao was still in hot pursuit.

He pursued a large number of routs of the official army, numbering several thousand, and these routs fled all the way north, wanting to cross Yingge Ridge and flee to Gao'an.

Lu Zhao led his troops in hot pursuit, and broke the official army at Yingge Ridge, killing more than 1,000 people, and the rest of the rout either surrendered or fled, and thousands of rout soldiers were completely defeated.

Hundreds of stragglers escaped, and they did not dare to rest for a moment, and ran frantically northward, and whenever there was some wind and grass on the road, they thought that the army of thieves had chased after them.

In this battle, Liu Liangzuo's 20,000-strong army was basically wiped out, and less than 3,000 of the 8,000 people who escaped last night survived in the end, and the remaining 5,000 were either killed or captured alive by the rebels.

The rebels won a great victory this time, capturing seven or eight thousand prisoners alone, and the escorted prisoners stretched for several miles along the road.

It's a pity that Liu Liangzuo, the culprit who plagued Jiangxi, ran away, and Liu Zongxiang, the governor of Jiangxi, left the battlefield with his men as soon as he saw Mo Qian hang up the king of Fengcheng.

He took a boat back to Nanchang overnight, and it was not until the afternoon of the third day that he learned the news of Liu Liangzuo's defeat.

Liu Zongxiang was immediately angry and hateful, and fell ill directly after hearing the news.

At this time in Guangxin Yushan County, Li Shizhong did not intend to endure it because he could not get the supply of grain and grass, so he plundered the territory of Yushan County, feeling that the robbery was not enough, and took 10,000 Zhejiang soldiers south to Yongfeng County and continued to rob. (This Yongfeng County is not the Yongfeng of Ji'an, because Jiangxi has two Yongfeng in the Ming Dynasty, so it is called Ji Yongfeng and Guangyongfeng respectively, and Guangyongfeng is now the Guangfeng District of Shangrao)

Once military discipline is broken and no one cares about it, it will be like the Yellow River bursting its banks.

At first, the Zhejiang soldiers were just grabbing food, but gradually it became a robbery of money and women.

The people of the two counties of Guangxin were deeply affected by it, and for a while they hated the officials of the various prefectures of Guangxin very much, and they also scolded the imperial court.

Zhejiang soldiers robbed in Guangxin Mansion for seven days in a row, robbed that is a bulging pocket, satisfied, then leisurely back to Zhejiang.

Guangxin Mansion was not a particularly wealthy place in the first place, and bandits and bandits were endless.

Not only unearthed bandits, but also demons.

Zhang Puwei of Leadshan County would have rebelled in the 11th year of Chongzhen in history.

Zhang Puwei has been operating in Leadshan County for a long time, and founded Wuweijiao, originally he wanted to wait for a few years to be powerful again, but when he saw that the Zhejiang soldiers had ruined the two counties of Guangxin Mansion like this, he immediately realized that this was a great opportunity.

Zhang Puwei immediately called several of his cronies Jiang Yi, Zhou Ba, Zhou Qingjun, and Feng Shanji.

The five of them conspired and decided to lead the followers into trouble three days later.

Three days later, Zhang Puwei led more than 1,000 followers to rise up in Leadshan, they captured the county seat, killed the county commander Liu Weiren, and killed the county Cheng He Guozan, directly occupying Leadshan County.

After the Wuwei Sect members occupied the lead mountain, they immediately sent people to the two counties of Yushan and Yongfeng, which were affected by the war, and gathered tens of thousands of people who were affected by the war in a period of time.

All of a sudden, Guangxin Mansion was full of smoke, and the prefect Zhang Yinghe received many urgent documents every day.

All counties, towns, and even villages are in a hurry, saying that the demons are demagogic and coercing 50,000 or 60,000 people, and they are frantically attacking the county seat.

Three days later, Zhang Puwei's army had 50,000 horses, and almost half of the people of Guangxin had joined the church.

With people, Zhang Puwei's courage was even greater, he directly led people to surround Guangxin Mansion, Zhang Yinghe didn't even win, and was directly blocked in Shangrao.

As soon as Guangxin Mansion was in chaos, the situation in the entire northeast of Jiangxi changed instantly, and the three prefectures of Raozhou, Fuzhou, Jianchang were rumored, and the prefects of the three prefectures closed the city gates, and made every effort to search for the Taoist priests preaching in the prefecture.

As long as you are a Taoist priest, no matter which sect you belong to, you will be arrested and tortured.

After a great defeat in Jiangxi, and a cult in northeastern Jiangxi became a mess, Liu Zongxiang couldn't help but feel even more sad and his condition worsened after hearing the news from his hospital bed.

On May 15, Zhang Puwei invaded the Guangxin Mansion, and after the disciples entered the mansion, they went straight to the Shangrao Palace, killing all 187 members of the Shangrao King Zhu Zaiyan's family.

The prefect Zhang Yinghe was captured alive by the disciples, and Zhang Puwei paraded him through the streets, and finally beheaded him at the gate of the vegetable market.

On 20 May, Liu Zongxiang was ill for a long time and received the news that Shangrao had been conquered by a cult and that the entire family of King Shangrao had died tragically.
