Because the Southern Ming court had an empty shelf of the imperial court, the military salary and grain and grass expenses were all raised by the general soldiers of each town.

No matter how honest people are, they can't stand the days of no money and no food, and they have turned into evil dragons.

Among them is Yang Yufan, whose father Yang Zhaoji was the hero of Ding Mao's rebellion, who led Shandong soldiers to appear behind enemy lines and won the Santun camp.

What is touching is that Liu Zeqing, the culprit of the Denglai Rebellion, and Liu Liangzuo, the current chief soldier of the disaster, once followed Yang Zhaoji and were ready to sacrifice for the country.

Now, Liu Zeqing has turned into white bones, and Yang Yufan has also embarked on the same path as Liu Liangzuo.

Taking advantage of Gao Jie's looting of Yangzhou Mansion, Yang Yufan also sent people to follow behind and secretly pick up leaks.

In case something happens, you can rely on Gao Jie's head.

It's just that history has played a humorous joke on Yang Yufan, and among the people who looted, there was actually the superintendent Shi Kefa.

Shi Kefa followed Yang Yufan's Shandong soldiers to Huai'an in embarrassment, and worked as a coolie on the construction site for three days.

It is well known that civil servants have long fingernails to show that they do not have to work.

On the first day of his visit, Shi Kefa broke his nails on the construction site. The fairly neat brocade clothes were also in tatters while walking and working.

After three days of heavy physical work, he lost weight directly.

Yang Yufan inspected the construction site and saw a conspicuous bag that was working slowly, and was about to reprimand, but after a look at his face, he found that he had arrested the dignified supervisor.

He hurriedly sent someone to invite Shi Kefa to the tent and personally poured wine to apologize.

Shi Kefa smiled, "The students had the honor to work in Yang Shuai's army for three days."

Yang Yufan also haha: "The supervisor is hard, and the micro-service has come to my camp privately."

This difficult topic to talk about ended in the tacit understanding between the two sides.

After Yang Yufan feasted Shi Kefa, he gave Shi Kefa a new set of clothes, and then sent someone to send Shi Kefa back to Yangzhou.

Shi Kefa returned to Yangzhou, and before he could catch his breath, a major event came.

Liu Zhaoji, the general soldier under his command, was involved in a mutiny and fell into a dangerous situation.

Liu Zhaoji, born in the Guanning Army, was subordinate to You Shiwei, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, and went to Ningxia with You Shiwei to serve as a guerrilla general. You Shiwei was dismissed, and Liu Zhaoji, who was defeated and wounded in the battle against the peasant army, was also dismissed.

Before Chongzhen was killed, he sent a group of generals who were idle at home to Nanjing.

It is no longer known what Chongzhen's intention is to do this, but it is known that Liu Zhaoji is among these people.

How could Liu Zhaoji get involved in the mutiny?

It turned out that he heard that Shi Kefa only led 300 Sichuan soldiers to see Gao Jie, and he was very worried that Gao Jie would harm Shi Kefa, but he had no soldiers in his hands.

In his eagerness, Liu Zhaoji didn't have time to think carefully, so he went to Zhou Shixian's camp to defend Jingkou to borrow troops to protect Shi Kefa.

Zhou Shixian was also from Guan Ningjun and was sent to Nanjing with Liu Zhaoji.

But he was luckier than Liu Zhaoji, he was not dismissed before he was sent to Nanjing, and he still had money to support his family, and collected some hungry soldiers along the way, with a total of 700 soldiers and more than 100 war horses, and was known as more than 1,000 cavalry.

Liu Zhaoji felt that he and Zhou Shixian were both from Guan Ningjun, and it should not be a big problem to persuade him to join Shi Kefa's standard camp and rescue Shi Kefa together.

However, when he was spitting in Zhou Shixian's military camp and persuading Zhou Shixian, trouble came to his door.

A soldier from Zhou Shixian's military camp threatened a local melon seller and asked him to sell him watermelons at a low price to satisfy his hunger.

The child refused, and was scraped by the soldier on the spot and knocked directly to the ground.

Just then, a group of soldiers patrolling the streets passed by.

This soldier came from Zhejiang, and was a subordinate of the chief soldiers Huang Zhikui and Li Dakai, with three or four thousand soldiers.

What's funny is that they also learned from Wang Jin, and they didn't fight "Gao Yu" for the first time, but asked the soldiers who beat the children whether they were sailors or cavalrymen.

This should be treated differently, if it is a sailor, it is Tu Fei's troops, with more troops and strong combat power, and they dare not provoke.

If it's cavalry, it's Zhou Shixian's troops, hey

Hey...... The time has come to punish the evil and bring justice!

As a result, someone told the Zhejiang soldiers that the other party was Zhou Shixian's soldiers.

The Zhejiang soldiers immediately swarmed up, tied up the soldier, and threw him into a nearby river to drown.

Depend on! Dare to bully the Liao soldiers and cut him.

Without Zhou Shixian's order, or even informing Zhou Shixian, hundreds of Liao soldiers were dispatched to directly attack the Zhejiang army camp, kill the general soldier Li Dakai, and leave in the dust.

There were more than 4,000 Zhejiang soldiers at that time, and they were stunned that they didn't stop this group of Liao soldiers.

In order to take revenge, I don't know who came up with the bad move, the Zhejiang soldiers actually set fire to the people's houses overnight, claiming that the Liao soldiers did it.

Zhou Shixian's Liao soldiers and Huang Zhikui's Zhejiang soldiers fought at Jingkou, and more than 400 Zhejiang soldiers and local people were killed.

This incident alarmed the imperial court, and Governor Su Song transferred thousands of Zhejiang soldiers by land and water to suppress it.

Zhou Shixian was frightened, so he had to ask Liu Zhaoji in the army for help.

Liu Zhaoji was able to get out smoothly and returned to Yangzhou.

It happened that Shi Kefa was sent back to Yangzhou by Yang Yufan, met with Liu Zhaoji, and learned what happened.

Shi Kefa played the imperial court, first, to remove Liu Zhaoji's post and said that he was responsible for this matter. Anyway, Liu Zhaoji is the commander of the light pole, and it makes no difference whether he is dismissed or not.

The second is to transfer Zhou Shixian to the standard camp to nominally restrain this Liao army.

The third is to kill the two Liao soldiers who killed Li Dakai, and give an explanation to the Zhejiang soldiers.

Ma Shiying waved his pen and dismissed Zhou Shixian's position, allowing Zhou Shixian to make meritorious service under Shi Kefa.

It's really nonsense, even if Zhou Shixian is dismissed, his soldiers still listen to him, and offend a general for no reason.

Maybe Ma Shiying doesn't care, he only cares about Emperor Hongguang in the deep palace. Offering more beauties and treasures, and also using toads to make Chinese medicine for Emperor Hongguang.

Because the inner eunuchs caught the toads with lanterns, and the lanterns were written: "Catch toads by order", so Emperor Hongguang had a name among the people, the toad was the son of heaven.

Ma Shiying is mediocre and incompetent, only caring about fighting for power and profit, similar to Jia Nidao in the Southern Song Dynasty, so he is also known as "Cricket Xianggong".

Objectively speaking, Ma Shiying can't help it. He had little qualifications, and he had been at odds with the Nanjing bureaucrats for a long time, so he could only rely on Emperor Hongguang and barely do something.

The ministers also didn't care about the situation outside, and put a "eunuch" hat on Ma Shiying's head to continue to fight Ma Shiying.

They didn't care about Gao Jie's affairs, Zhou Shixian's Liao soldiers were in a mess, and then another big incident happened.

Sun Yingyuan was ordered to guard Zhenzhou, but he himself was unwilling, but he couldn't rely on three invitations and four urgings, so he led the army to go.

Zhenzhou is also Yizhen, which is very close to Guazhou.

This made Gao Jie suspicious, thinking that Sun Yingyuan was sent by the imperial court to seize his territory and pose a threat to his family.

So Gao Jie came up with a poisonous plan and decided to attack and kill Sun Yingyuan and take the troops under his command as his own.
