Chapter 19: Rebellion
(The first update, ask for a red ticket)
Lin Jian got the letter sent by the confidant of Chen Debiao, the governor of Shandong, who went over the house and crossed the house, and he didn't know whether he was happy or sad. Happily, with Chen Debiao's authorization, the Jiangdong Left Army did not have any sequelae in the territory of Qingzhou and even in Shandong County; Sadly, Chen Debiao, Liu Yefei and others did not think about controlling the situation and continuing to deteriorate.
Although the Qingzhou Army mutinied, there was no major chaos yet, and it should be possible for Liu Yefei to come forward to stop the situation from deteriorating further. This not only means that the ordinary soldiers of the Qingzhou Army can reduce casualties, but also means that the civilians in the urban and rural areas of Shouguang will suffer fewer losses.
As soon as the Jiangdong Left Army made a move, the rumors of liquidation were completely confirmed, and it was useless for Lin Jian to come forward to explain; Naturally, it caused a more fierce backlash from the Qingzhou Army. They may not dare to attack the Jiangdong Left Army in turn, but they will form a rout and chaotic army, and flow from the other three city gates to Shouguang, Changyi, Qingzhou, Linzi and other places, and the future will be endless.
"What should I do?" Du Juefu of Shouguang Zhi County did not experience the military affairs of the Eastern Captives, at this time the rebels blocked the streets in the city, unless they sent agile people to go over the house and send letters, they could contact Chen Debiao and others, but at this time it was useless to contact Chen Debiao and others, they were trapped in the county government, and there were no soldiers in their hands, so they could only count on Lin Tie and the Jiangdong Left Army to play the role of Dinghai Shenpin.
Only the six hundred soldiers of the first battalion of the Jiangdong Left Army came to Shouguang with Lin Lian, and seeing that the Qingzhou army in the city was in chaos, there were more than 4,000 people, Du Juefu always felt that the soldiers in Lin Lian's hands were not enough, and he didn't know what Lin Lian's face was sinking like water, and he didn't know what he was thinking, nor did he know how sure he was in his heart, and he was very uneasy.
Sun Wenwan also did not expect that the Jiangdong Left Army's entry into Shouguang City would directly prompt the Qingzhou Army in the city to mutiny, and the Qingzhou Army was mainly formed by recruiting and surrendering soldiers, and the military discipline was extremely poor, but it was not that the Jiangdong Left Army would inexplicably mutini as soon as it entered the city.
Lin Lian could vaguely guess something: causing the Qingzhou Army to mutiny, at least it can completely defeat Liu Yefei, neither Zhang Xie nor Yue Lengqiu can take the blame for the Qingzhou Army mutiny for Liu Yefei, which can be regarded as a heavy blow to Zhang and Yue's family, but the consequences for the local area are also very terrible, and thousands of routs will be difficult to clean up.
Now is not the time to think about this, since Chen Debiao, Liu Yefei and others have given up their efforts to control the deterioration of the situation, Lin Jian can't be so irresponsible.
"You write a military order for me," Lin Lian instructed Lin Mengde on his side, "After receiving the order, Zhou Pu and Zhou Tong led the second and third battalions to immediately change their direction to the south side of Shouguang, and do everything possible to block the passage between Shouguang and Qingzhou, so as not to let the rout flee south, monitor Qingzhou City, and if there is any change in the city, do not hesitate to make an attack posture to prevent the situation in Qingzhou from deteriorating further...... Zhao Qingshan led the fifth battalion to force the Qingzhou Army at Yingkou, forming a confrontation situation, and before receiving further orders, he must not take the initiative to attack! ”
At present, the Qingzhou army is mainly divided into three roads, in addition to more than 4,000 people here, there are still more than 3,000 people in Qingzhou City, and there are still more than 3,000 people in Yingkou Town, which is 30 miles north of Shouguang City. At present, it is only the Qingzhou army mutiny, and the situation is difficult to control, and Lin Jian must work hard to prevent Qingzhou and Yingkou from causing a big mess. If the rumors of liquidation are only spread in the city, Qingzhou and Yingkou can maintain stability for at least a period of time, and now it is necessary to relieve Chen Debiao and others from the county government as soon as possible, and only Chen Debiao and others can control the situation in Qingzhou and Yingkou without a sword, and it is not possible to change others.
Waiting for the herald soldiers to gallop out of the city for a while, seeing that the chaotic soldiers in the city showed no signs of stopping, Lin Jian shouted to Ao Canghai, who was squatting there and studying the terrain with the generals, and said: "Tang Shaobao's side can still hold out for a while, first defeat the chaotic soldiers who blocked the county government, and only leave the reserve troops of the two capital teams on my side, when you attack, be careful not to disperse the troops, the chaotic soldiers will not fall, just drive them out of the city, and it will be dark when you see it, this night will have advantages and disadvantages for everyone......
After all the orders were completed, Lin Bin, Lin Mengde, Sun Wenbing, Sun Wenwan and Du Juefu and other Shouguang County officials retreated to the North City Gate Tower.
Although the Qingzhou Army mutinied and was in chaos, it was not completely without command and dispatch. Although they were not controlled by Liu Yefei, there were several powerful rout teams that surrendered to Liu Yefei, and after they were recruited, they also formed the main faction within the Qingzhou Army, and their leaders naturally acted as the main generals of Qingzhou.
The Jiangdong Left Army entered the city with only more than 600 people, and the mutinous Qingzhou Army generals were unwilling to escape from the city, and gathered together to discuss the expulsion of the Jiangdong Left Army from the city or directly eliminate it, first occupy Shouguang City, and then contact Yingkou and Qingzhou people and horses to do things together. In this way, it is better to form an intermediate force that blocks the east and west flanks of Shandong, and then seize the Shandong Peninsula, retreat to defend Yishan and Mount Tai, and become the emperor or enter the mountain to be the king, which is better than worrying about being liquidated all day long.
During the short period of time when the first battalion of the Jiangdong Left Army was holding the northern city, although the city was becoming more and more chaotic, shops and mansions were smashed and looted, and some rebels began to set fire to the city, burning the twilight of the night as bright as day, but the mutinous Qingzhou Army generals also organized thousands of people in front of the Jiangdong Left Army to prepare to attack the Jiangdong Left Army that had already entered the city.
Du Juefu pinched a handful of sweat in his palms, he stood in the north city gate building, and had already seen a group of rebels smashing the door of his Du family's house, I don't know how long he could hold on, there were too many rebels, and the Jiangdong Left Army was only five or six hundred people, which really couldn't make people too confident, but Lin Tie and Lin Tie were very calm, which made him feel better.
Lin Jian didn't have anything to worry about defeating the rebels in the city, there was no effective organization, and no matter how many people there were, it would only increase the chaos of the scene. Don't look at the mutinous Qingzhou army generals can still organize thousands of people, but as long as this group of people is defeated, the rebels in the city will not be a threat.
Lin Jian could see that the mutinous Qingzhou Army generals were eager to control Shouguang City and drive them out of the city, after all, the senior generals of the Qingzhou Army knew that almost two thousand five or six hundred elites of the Jiangdong Left Army were in Shandong, and the nearest cavalry camp was only more than thirty miles away from here. If the cavalry of the Jiangdong Left Army rushed to the aid of this side, they could not control the whole city in time and defend the city, and they would no longer have a chance to occupy Shouguang.
Ao Canghai also saw this, he made the front armor soldiers retreat a little back, inducing the rebels to attack, this side was only under the cover of the high shield, with a bow and crossbow to return fire, retreat to less than fifty steps from the north city gate, and even some of the armor soldiers retreated to the city gate hole, Ao Canghai ordered a counterattack.
Remove the cover high shield, with the bayonet and the Mo knife hand as the core, the spearman on his side, and the card holder and crossbowman change to the single sword tiger shield to cover the two wings. The bayonet spear that is more than a foot long sweeps the current enemy, the bamboo tip is very dense, unfolded like an umbrella, the enemy knife is constantly sharpened, and the spear is not as long as it is, and it is easy to be entangled. The enemy wants to attack closer, and will be slashed and killed by the fierce slashing of the Mo knife, or the defensive formation of the chaotic soldiers will be stabbed with a long bayonet, and the Mo knife hand relies on the strong armor to rush to kill, and the spear and spear then attack, and there are swords and shields to follow the cover, killing the current enemy is very cool.
The narrow streets and alleys are not conducive to the formation of foot soldiers, and the new formation law of the five pawns has played a huge advantage, at first it still maintained the scale of the capital team's attack, and after testing that the pressure of the chaotic soldiers is not large, they directly used the fifteenth pawn flag team as a unit to force and cut the chaotic troops.
The troops in the houses on both sides were also killed together, and there were more crossbowmen who climbed the wall to shoot reinforcements, Du Juefu stood at the head of the city with Lin Tie and watched the mutinous Qingzhou soldiers from attacking to crushing the counterattack offensive, it only took about a stick of incense before and after, and there were almost no casualties in the Jiangdong Left Army - after that, these rebels only hated their father and mother for giving them two legs less, and in addition to taking care of fleeing, they couldn't think of organizing to resist the offensive of the Jiangdong Left Army.
Seeing the chaotic soldiers under the offensive of the Jiangdong Left Army, crying and crying for their fathers and mothers, there is no resistance at all, who would dare to say that it is a kind of luck that King Lin Lianqin has established four battles and four victories that are enough to be knighted? No wonder Lin Jian had the courage to enter Shouguang City with five or six hundred guards, he was not afraid of what Liu Yefei could do to him with four thousand Qingzhou troops!
No wonder Yangxin's Zhang Jinxian and Cheng Weiyuan would respect Lin Tie so much, they really couldn't imagine how majestic the battle of Yangxin was, Du Juefu thought to himself, he had already seen that the enemy soldiers besieging his house had been defeated at this time, and he was relieved, but he had the heart to think about something else.
Lin Jian ordered Ao Canghai to immediately send people to escort Chen Debiao, Liu Yefei, Ge Zufang and others who were trapped in the county government to the North City Gatehouse, and then to expel the rebels in Dongcheng and help Tang Haoxin get out of trouble.
Chen Debiao, Liu Yefei, Ge Zufang and more than a dozen officials of the Shandong County Division rushed to the North City Gate Tower in an embarrassed manner with more than 200 guards, and at this time the Jiangdong Left Army had already controlled the situation in the city.
After all, Shouguang City is too small, the east and west, north and south two main streets are not more than 400 steps, because the mutiny time is not much, most of the houses in the city have not been broken by the rebels, when more than 1,000 mutinies in the north of the Qingzhou army to be defeated, more rebels are full of thoughts to escape from the city, to the Jiangdong Left Army to control the whole city in a short period of time to become possible.
Chen Debiao and the others went up to the city gate tower for a while, and Tang Haoxin also came to meet under the escort of the first guard, at this time he didn't have a good face for Chen Debiao, Liu Yefei, Ge Zufang and others, twisted his white beard, and scolded: "This chaos, see how your Shandong County Division explains to the imperial court!" How are you going to clean up this mess right now? ”
"It's all up to Tang Shaobao!" Chen Debiao is a single person, he has already handed over the letter to Lin Jian to authorize him to use troops in Qingzhou, and at this time, it is not bad to further fall into the ground for Liu Yefei.
Tang Haoxin is the second-rank prince Shaobao, and his rank is higher than that of them, the chief officials of Shandong County, and at a critical moment, he can control local military and political affairs with power - of course, this also requires the cooperation of local officials.
"All... Whole... It's all about... Tang Shaobao... Call the shots. Ge Zufang couldn't help but shudder when he spoke, when they came, several rebels were hiding in a private house and wanted to kidnap them out of the city. Although the rebels were killed on the spot, Ge Zufang was frightened again and had not come back to his senses at this time.
Liu Yefei's face was like mourning, he didn't speak, and he had no room to speak.
The Qingzhou army mutinied, and Liu Yefei's guards, personal entourage, and the two officials who came to Shouguang with him according to the Shandong Inspectorate also gave excuses to be suspected of being accomplices of the rebels and detained them, which was an order issued by Chen Debiao. Since there was a mutiny, everything was naturally based on the opinion of Admiral Chen Debiao. Before the imperial court came to a further conclusion, Liu Yefei was completely hollowed out, even if he did not immediately become a prisoner of the order.
With Chen Debiao and Ge Zufang expressing their positions, Tang Haoxin was no longer polite, asked Lin Tie about his military deployment, and discussed with Lin Tie: "Can the Jiangdong Left Army lend a battalion of troops to Lord Chen to stabilize the situation in Qingzhou......"
Everyone knows that Qingzhou is in chaos, and once Qingzhou is in chaos, the situation will be difficult to clean up, not to mention that Sun Jingxuan, Sun Jingtang, Sun Wenyao and other Changyi mutiny leaders were also imprisoned in Qingzhou Prison.
Lin Jian said: "Outside Qingzhou City, there are two battalions of soldiers in the Jiangdong Left Army that can be borrowed from the Admiral, and Lin Mengde of my department will rush to Qingzhou with my orders with the Admiral...... "Zhou Pu and Zhou are in Qingzhou, and they may not be able to deal with an old official like Chen Debiao, so it is better to let Lin Mengde follow."
Tang Haoxin stared at Liu Yefei with his eyes, and said coldly: "Don't say that the old man doesn't give you a chance, there are still 3,000 Qingzhou soldiers to be taken care of at Yingkou, if you can make these 3,000 Qingzhou soldiers not cause chaos, the old man can't protect you in the notebook......
Liu Yefei's face was pale, it was unknown whether the three thousand Qingzhou soldiers in Yingkou were in chaos or not, Tang Haoxin insisted that it was the three thousand soldiers to be appeased, even if he was protected, where could he be protected? But Liu Yefei had no other choice, at least to save his life first, and said calmly: "It's all up to Tang Shaobao's orders......"
"Are you sure that the three thousand Qingzhou will not change?" Tang Haoxin asked Lin Tie, "If you are not sure, it is most important to keep the Jiangdong Left Army!" ”
"I'll take three hundred soldiers away," Lin Jian said, it is naturally a great luck in misfortune to be able to successfully pacify the three thousand Qingzhou troops in Yingkou, otherwise another three thousand soldiers will be added to Shouguang, and the situation will be even more difficult to clean up, and the most urgent thing for them at the moment is to solve the chaos in Shandong as soon as possible and restore the smooth flow of the grain road, "Leave the three hundred soldiers in Shouguang in case of emergency." ”
Tang Haoxin nodded, and said to Ge Zufang: "I hope that the Xuanfu Envoy can temporarily appoint Du Juefuzhi County and the Xuanfu Envoy to the post of Senator, and take charge of the transportation of grain from Jimo to Changyi, and immediately organize manpower to dredge the blocked river, and use both land and water, and do everything possible to transport the grain gathered in Jimo to Changyi and get on the ship." and transferred Zhang Jinxian of Xinzhi County to temporarily act as the general judge of Qingzhou Mansion to assist Lord Liu in handling the affairs of Qingzhou Prefecture...... The first offender of the Changyi mutiny, who had been sent to Qingzhou for guarding, was temporarily imprisoned pending a decision by the imperial court. Accomplices who are imprisoned in Changyi should be released immediately, so that they have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions to Cao, and I hope you can follow me to Changyi for a trip - the current situation, everything must not interfere with the urgent affairs of Caoyun, I think you know it in your heart. ”
Ge Zufang also hopes to keep his official position, and he should not do anything.
Lin Lian was silent, judging from the fact that Tang Haoxin had made so many deployments in such a short period of time, he knew that Tang Haoxin was clear about everything in his confidence. In this way, it is already a taboo for him to lead his troops into Shandong, and since the overall situation is decided, there is no need to interfere in Shandong's political affairs.
