Outside Wuqiao County, the smoke rushed into the sky, countless rebels walked through the streets and alleys outside the city, carrying large bags and small bags of goods, they had been holding back for many days of anger surging out, looting everything that could be found outside Wuqiao City, Wuqiao City quickly turned into hell, and once the army robbed sex, it was not under the control of Kong Youde and others at all. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

But this situation is the appetite of Li Jiucheng, who is fierce by nature, at this time he is standing outside Wuqiao City with a big knife, and the screams and cries around him are as beautiful as fairy music.

Wuqiao County has no defense, there are only a small number of trembling townsmen on the city, there is no basic tool to defend the city, after the rebels killed the servants of the Wang family a few days ago, they stayed outside the city and did not move, and the county magistrate did not expect them to rebel, so he only sent a document to the political secretary and the yamen of Shandong, and waited for Kong Youde to come and beg him to spare his life, but he did not expect it to become a big mess in a blink of an eye.

Behind Li Jiucheng were more than 1,000 soldiers, who rushed to make a large number of ladders to climb the city. The rebels, all with red eyes and swords of varying lengths, were armed with nearly two thousand, which were well used as ladder knives to attack such impenetrable cities.

Wuqiao County is located along the canal, the wealth outside the city has opened their eyes, Li Yingyuan is in a gentleman's cellar, he found 30,000 taels of silver, the wealth in the city is naturally only a lot more.

Li Jiucheng waved his hand: "Siege!" Retreat the latter to death! Beat down and divide the money and divide the! ”

The dense rebels shouted, and then swarmed up, rows of ladders to the city, the wooden hooks in the front section were firmly hung on the wall, and some fierce soldiers bit their swords in their mouths, and climbed the ladder ants to attach themselves.

The city gate was soon opened, and thousands of rebels poured in from the city gate, shouting and slashing at the people they saw, and the soldiers with pockets on their backs broke the shops one by one along the street, rummaging through the boxes and cabinets looking for property, and the city fell into chaos, and the cries shook the sky.

On November 24, in the Jinan Governor's Office, Shandong Governor Yu Dacheng held an urgent letter, which was sent by Wang Daochun, the Shandong Governor.

Pingyuan County is only a few dozen miles away from Wuqiao, more than 20 miles away from Lingxian County, and the information obtained is very detailed, and his letter tells about Kong Youde's capture of Wuqiao, and at the same time estimates that he will continue to attack nearby Lingxian, Linyi and Pingyuan, and Dezhou is also in danger and needs to be prepared as soon as possible.

Yu Dacheng saw the words "send troops to suppress" at the end of the letter, his hands trembled slightly, although he was a governor, but he had not directly participated in the war, and he was very timid.

He knew how weak Shandong's military strength was, because there had been no war for many years, there were only a few thousand battalions in the province, and some of them were Cao Yun troops, which were not enough to fight at all. If once the battle fails, it will be difficult to protect their official position, it is best for these rebels to retreat after plundering, Dezhou is on the edge of Shandong, maybe these rebels will go directly to Beizhili, and they can shirk their responsibilities on the grounds that they are too late to transfer troops, and instead impeach Sun Yuanhua.

So he thought about it, the soldiers couldn't be adjusted for the time being, he called the master to grab the pen and write, and after thinking about it, he said: "First send a letter to Lord Sun, the governor of Denglai, to explain that the rebels are in trouble in Wuqiao, and then give the army a script." ”

The master knew Wang Daochun's letter, so he turned his head and asked, "Futai, according to what the Lord said, I am very anxious, do you want to reply first." ”

"If you don't go back, I'll tell the outside that I'm seriously ill and can't take ......care of things for the time being," Yu Dacheng thought about it for a while, felt that it was better to be prepared, and said to the master, "Let the standard camp be ready and be on call at any time." ”

Kong Youde Wuqiao mutinied, the situation in the entire northern Ming Dynasty was affected, and the Sichuan soldiers stationed at Shanhaiguan were also ordered to be ready to deploy the Beijing division at any time. After the imperial court received the news, Chongzhen was angry, the siege of the Daling River outside the Guanxi was not solved, and the Shanxi Liukou was rampant, and now there was an extra chaotic army near Gyeonggi, and it was also Denglai Town, which cost 900,000 silver per year.

The emperor was furious, and Liang Tingdong, the secretary of the military department, had to quickly find a way, but the army was pinned down everywhere, and the military department was too late to mobilize troops for a while, so he could only order the governor of Shandong and the governor of Denglai to join forces to flank and eliminate the chaos as soon as possible.

Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng have been in battle for a long time, and they have a good set of commanding the army, knowing that they do not have a stable position, and they must get out of the unfamiliar area before the imperial court reacts, speed is the most important link, and now Wuqiao is a fight, and the rebellion has been completed, and they must run if they have enough.

Unlike when they arrived, the rebels returned with a swift pace. They tasted the sweetness of attacking the city, and instead of wasting time along the way, they rushed straight to the next city. On November 21, Wu County was broken, and after two days of looting, a fire was set on fire, and then retreated to the east, and arrived at Ling County on the 24th.

When they left Lingxian, the marching army was twice as large as before, and there were many more stolen oxen and wagons to carry the looted proceeds, and their harvest was more and more, and their very scarce cotton cloth had long been lost to the eye, and was constantly thrown on the road, and was filled with silk and silver.

The army only plundered in Lingxian for one day, and then continued to set off, on the 27th to break Linyi, on the 29th to break the Shanghe, in December at the beginning of the first division of the army to break Deping, on the fifth day of the first month to break the Qingcheng after the first five troops again combined forces, these rebels who had been baptized by the war in Liaodong were invincible all the way, and the looting was extremely rich.

The small county towns along the way have not been in war for a long time, there is no war preparation at all, there is no strong garrison in the city, and the rebels come quickly, so they basically go to the city with a drum. The northern part of Jinan Prefecture was in ruins, and the rest of the county towns were in a state of turmoil, especially the prefectures and counties on the rebels' eastward return route, and they all estimated that the rebels would beat themselves on the way back to Dengzhou, and sent the documents for help to the Shandong Governor's Office like snowflakes.

Yu Dacheng's desire to leave the country after the rebels looted was disappointed, seeing that the rebels had captured more and more cities, if he didn't do anything, it would be a matter of time before he lost his position.

What the imperial court did not expect was that the house leak happened to rain overnight, and at the same time that the rebels conquered the prefectures and counties one after another, Chen Shishi, the deputy general of Lushun in Dongjiang Town, who was good friends with Kong Youde, and Mao Chenglu, the deputy general of Guangludao, also responded with troops, and the department developed into an army of seven or eight thousand people in one fell swoop, and once divided half of Dongjiang Town, trying to echo the north and south of the Shandong rebels.
