368 Huai'an Mutiny

(Today's chapter is presented, please collect and subscribe!!) ）

It's just that at this time, the army of the Ming Dynasty usually has to deduct even some money, how can they be willing to buy these things for the soldiers.

Moreover, who let Li Zixiao have some silver in his hand at this time, if he doesn't spend the money on the White Dragon Army, where will he spend it.

At this time, if it weren't for the imperial court and the fact that Li Zixiao's territory was still too small, he would never be satisfied with the number of 10,000 White Dragon Army.

But with the Xuzhou controlled by Li Zixiao at this time, the elite of the 10,000 White Dragon Army is the tree he thinks is more suitable, if there are more, it will be difficult for him to feed.

This made Li Zixiao desperate to expand the territory in his hands, and when the territory was larger, he would have the ability to feed more troops.

Therefore, in August and September, Li Zixiao focused on the movements of Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng and other rebellious armies in the west.

On the other hand, he quietly sent Zhang Fugui to Huai'an, he didn't want to wait any longer, Li Zixiao decided to take actual control of Huai'an and Yangzhou before the Chinese New Year.

Even if the time comes, we can't control the civil rights of the two governments, but at least we must firmly control the defense of the two governments.

In this way, it is not a way to continue to wait, and Li Zixiao can only take some special measures.

During this period, Li Zixiao also got a good news that Qiu Guangming served him.

When Qiu Guangming received the letter sent by Li Zixiao, as soon as he opened it, Qiu Guangming saw that the letter recorded the number and time of the bribes he had accepted, which was very detailed.

When Qiu Guangming saw the contents of the letter, his face changed greatly, and after a while, he sighed and said: "He still can't wait, how should I choose!" ”

Qiu Guangming knew that when Li Zixiao showed him this letter, he clearly told Qiu Guangming: Xuzhou, Lao Tzu wants it, if you don't obediently hand over the power in your hand, I will keep you safe.

Otherwise, Lao Tzu will use this kind of criminal evidence to get you down, and when the time comes, whether you will be ruined or imprisoned, Lao Tzu doesn't care.

It can be said that Li Zixiao has already given Qiu Guangming more face and given him a way out, mainly because Li Zixiao doesn't want to make things too big, and he wants to take over Xuzhou smoothly.

In the end, Qiu Guangming still gave in, and soon he found Li Zixiao, ready to hand over the power in his hands, resign from the imperial court, and then return to his hometown with his wife and children.

When Li Zixiao heard that Qiu Guangming had yielded, he was also overjoyed, which meant that he would completely control Xuzhou.

However, in the end, Li Zixiao did not agree to Qiu Guangming's request to resign, but hoped that he would continue to serve as the prefect of Xuzhou, which surprised Qiu Guangming.

But in the same way, Li Zixiao also clearly told Qiu Guangming that you can continue to be the prefect of Xuzhou, but some things must be done according to my requirements.

Li Zixiao appreciates Qiu Guangming's ability and tolerates some of his previous greedy behaviors, but he will not condone the existence of a Xuzhou prefect who does not obey his orders.

Qiu Guangming is not a pedantic Confucian student, he knows how to be flexible, and he has long been disappointed in the Ming Dynasty, and it is not impossible to serve Li Zixiao.

Qiu Guangming had already seen Li Zixiao's wolf ambitions, but unfortunately he couldn't stop anything, he would choose a choice that was beneficial to him.

After Qiu Guangming surrendered, the first order Li Zixiao gave to Qiu Guangming was to let him collect a commercial tax of twenty percent in the whole territory of Xuzhou.

As for how to implement it, how to solve the protests of the businessmen, etc., Li Zixiao will not care, and Xuzhou is still handed over to Qiu Guangming to govern.

In September, Li Zixiao received news that Zhang Xianzhong had continuously thwarted the encirclement and suppression of the imperial army, and the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court failed.

And Li Zicheng also went out of Shangluo Mountain and was infiltrating into the western part of Henan, but Li Zicheng's movement was far less than that of Zhang Xianzhong, so the imperial court's encirclement and suppression of him became smaller.

But Li Zixiao knew that after Li Zicheng entered Henan, his power would expand rapidly, and he would soon reach tens of thousands of people and become the main force of the peasant army.

After all, at this time in Henan, the disaster was serious, and the class contradictions were extremely acute.

However, in this life, Li Yan took refuge in Li Zixiao, and I don't know if Li Zicheng will put forward the slogan of 'Juntian is exempt'.

But Li Zixiao knew that once Li Zicheng entered Henan, it would be when he sent troops, no matter whether the court gave him orders or not, he would send troops.

On the one hand, he didn't want his soldiers to be stable for too long, and his swords had to be sharpened from time to time, and the same was true for the army.

On the other hand, once Li Zicheng enters Henan, it is also his opportunity, which gives him a reason to meddle in Henan, Li Zixiao actually wants to grab the territory.

However, Li Zixiao is not in a hurry, he estimates that even if he sends troops, he will have to wait until the end of the year.

In mid-September, Li Zixiao received a secret letter from Zhang Fugui from Huai'an, which contained only one sentence: Everything is ready, just waiting for the general's order.

Subsequently, Li Zixiao personally wrote a secret letter back to Zhang Fugui, and then gave Wei Hong an order to let the soldiers of the Beida Camp in Xuzhou be on standby at any time.

Three days later, Li Zixiao was still in the house, accompanying Lin Yuluo and Guan Mingxi to dinner, and suddenly Quartz came in in a hurry.

Li Zixiao looked at Quartz's anxious appearance, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and asked, "Stone, what's wrong?" ”

Quartz walked over, handed over a letter with both hands, and said: "General, it's not good, Huai'an just sent a three-hundred-mile expedited, and Huai'an mutinied!" ”

"What? Mutiny! When Li Zixiao heard this, his face suddenly changed.

What the generals are most afraid of is two things, one is to lose the battle, and the other is to mutiny.

The so-called mutiny, generally speaking, refers to a mutiny in the army, and a certain army suddenly turns its guns for political or some other reason.

Failure to obey the command of the previous commander-in-chief, to run to a new target or leader, to obey the command of the new leader, or even to directly turn the gun on the previous leader, is a "mutiny".

Therefore, in the eyes of many generals, the horror of mutiny is worse than defeat, and at this time, as soon as Li Zixiao heard the word 'mutiny', his face would change color.

Li Zixiao stood up openly, snatched the three hundred miles in Quartz's hand, and looked at it at a glance.

Li Zixiao read this urgent document, took a long breath, and then said: "This is a three-hundred-mile expedited by Huai'an Du commanded with the governor Han Liushan and Huai'an prefect Yao Xinyu.

They claimed that there were nearly 1,000 soldiers in Huai'an City, and they began to mutiniate in the city yesterday, and Han Liushan took his family to suppress it, but he was beaten back instead.

Han Liushan saw that the situation was serious and did not dare to slack off, so he rushed three hundred miles and sent someone to Xuzhou for help. ”

After hearing this, Guan Mingxi, who was next to him, couldn't help but lose his face and said, "They asked the master for help, didn't they say that it was very dangerous?" Sir, be careful! ”

Looking at Guan Mingxi's worried expression, Li Zixiao patted his little hand and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, your master won't go alone."

The old man has tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands, and even the Tartars dare to fight, and he will be afraid that their rebels will not succeed, you can rest assured that it will be fine. ”

After comforting Guan Mingxi, Li Zixiao immediately said to Quartz: "Stone, you immediately inform Wei Hong, and ask him to immediately send Luo to lead the 1,500 cavalry of the 'Flying Feather Battalion' and wait for the dispatch!" ”

"Yes!"

With Li Zixiao's order, Quartz took the order and left.

In this way, by the end of the evening, all the 1,500 cavalry had been gathered, and they hurried towards Huai'an under the leadership of Li Zixiao.

Even, there is a 'trapped camp' led by Liu Zhong in the back, and their foot soldiers are slower.

"These two dogs actually made such a fuss for Lao Tzu, this is what he said is ready." When Li Zixiao led his troops to Huai'an, he was still slightly angry in his heart.

He didn't expect Zhang Fugui to make such a big move this time, Li Zixiao just asked him to go to Huai'an to create a reason for Li Zixiao to fight Huai'an.

In this regard, Li Zixiao did not ask Zhang Fugui to do anything, but he did not expect that in the end, Zhang Fugui would make such a mutiny for him.

Li Zixiao was 100% sure in his heart at this time that behind this Huai'an mutiny, there was definitely a black hand of Zhang Fugui Intelligence Bureau pushing it.

"These two dogs are a lot bolder now."

Li Zixiao was indeed a little angry at first, but along the way, he thought about it carefully, Zhang Fugui did this, and it was indeed the best reason for him to send troops to Huai'an.

That is, a mutiny, if something else happened, maybe Han Liushan and Yao Xinyu in Huai'an would never ask him for help as long as they could barely solve it.

These two people are not stupid, of course they know the truth that 'it is easy to invite God and difficult to send God', if they really let them invite Li Zixiao, the big Buddha, I am afraid they will not want to send it away.

But this time, even if they don't want to invite, they can't do it, the Huai'an mutiny, if one is not good, the lives of their whole family are threatened.

At this time, they still took care of the little power in their hands, and they had to ask Li Zixiao for help before saving their lives.

……………………………………………………

Just when Li Zixiao led the troops and hurried to Huai'an.

Huai'an commanded Tongzhi Han 6 Mountain, and was hugging in the command of Tongzhi's mansion with 200 family members, resisting the attack of the rebels.

Next to Han Liushan, stood a short and fat official wearing a four-grade vermilion official robe.

This person is in stark contrast to Han Liushan, who is tall and thin, and he is the current Huai'an prefect Yao Xinyu.

"Quick, put all of them on the wall, if those rebels dare to come closer, they will all be shot to death!"

Han Liushan commanded his subordinates, armed with longbows, bird guns and other weapons, and climbed the high wall one after another to resist the attack of the rebels outside.

Looking at Han Liushan, who was busy moving forward, Yao Xinyu, who wanted to stop talking, asked tremblingly: "Lord Han, do you say that we can hold on to General Pingyuan's reinforcements?"

Now that more than half a day has passed, why haven't you seen the soldiers and horses of the adults coming! ”

Han Liushan sighed lightly, shook his head, and said, "This official doesn't know, if it is calculated according to the normal time, they should arrive before dawn tomorrow."

Now we rely on the more than 200 family members under me, and I don't know if we can hold out until that time, everything depends on whether God blesses us two or not. ”

"This ...... What a good thing that is! ”

Yao Xinyu was so frightened that he grabbed Han Liushan with a crying voice and shouted: "Lord Han, how is this good, in case those rebels rush in, wouldn't this official's life be difficult to protect?"

Lord Han, you must save this official! Why don't we get some silver and beat those hills! ”

Han Liushan looked at the prefect of Huai'an, who was full of tears and snot at this time, and a sense of disgust swelled in his heart.

This guy is greedy for life and afraid of death, not to mention, but also corrupt and bribe, oppressing his subordinates, he is very arrogant on weekdays, but now he has become a dog.

On weekdays, when this guy allocates food and salary to the officers and soldiers of various guard posts, he always deducts the cord and the rope is not happy at all, and even deducts a large piece from it.

This time he did even more desperately, he didn't pay for three months in a row, and now it's good, the soldiers who forced him can't survive, and finally there is a trouble.

And this prefect was well-informed, and as soon as he heard about the mutiny, he immediately took his family with him and ran to his yamen to ask for asylum.

When this guy asked for asylum, he was right.

But he didn't think about it, if he could take one less concubine on weekdays, allocate a little more money to himself, and let himself give it to those officers and soldiers of the guard, how could he have a mutiny today?

Han Liushan said impatiently: "This official can only do his best, as long as General Pingyuan can arrive in time tomorrow morning, it is estimated that there will be no problem."

If General Pingyuan can't arrive tomorrow morning, we can only resign ourselves to fate, as long as we use silver to fight those rebels, Lord Yao won't even think about it.

Those soldiers mutinied, for them, very clear what it meant, they will never surrender, because even if they surrender, the court will not let them go. ”

After speaking, Han Liushan was impatient and walked to the escalator behind the high wall in front of him, ready to go up to the wall to check the enemy's situation.

After Yao Xinyu saw Han 6 climb the high wall, he looked at his fat body, gritted his teeth and wanted to follow to take a look.

At this time, on the high wall near the front, there was a call from a member of the Han family: "My lord, the rebels are about to rush up, everyone hurry up and release arrows." ”

As soon as the housekeeper's words fell, he heard a scream.

The man was shot in the chest by an arrow from the front, and he screamed and fell from the high wall, coughing up blood in his mouth, and he couldn't survive.

Seeing this scene, Yao Xinyu was so frightened that he didn't dare to go up the wall anymore.

In his fat body, he didn't know why he had so much strength, and he ran towards the inner courtyard without looking back with a trot-like degree.

The sky gradually brightened, and the rebels surrounded the commander's mansion and attacked all night, but under the desperate defense of more than 200 family members led by Han Liushan, there was no progress.

On the contrary, a person was so tired that he was sleepy and tired, and he left hundreds of corpses, this rebel army was originally intended to be captured alive, and Yao Xinyu, the prefect of Huai'an, and Du commanded Han 6 Mountain.

Because these rebels knew that as long as the two of them were captured alive, it would be equivalent to taking control of Huai'an City, and the two of them were the highest officials in Huai'an City.

When the sky was about to dawn, more than 800 tired and hungry rebels saw that there was no hope of conquering the Yamen.

Under the leadership of a deputy general manager and several hundred presidents, they began to burn and loot in Huai'an City.

Soon, there was a panicked cry and scream in Huai'an City.
