Chapter 21 Attachment
(The second update, ask for a red ticket)
Although the mutiny of the Qingzhou soldiers did not produce a major chaos, after all, four or five thousand rebels fled to the countryside and caused trouble, Lin Tie went from Yingkou to Changyi, and then led the army to move south along the Jiaolai River, and many villages along the way were looted by the rebels.
The stragglers broke out and became rogues, and when they saw the officers and soldiers coming to suppress them, they fled faster than rabbits, and without a perfect strategy and sufficient troops to encircle and suppress, it was difficult to completely sweep away the scourge.
These are all local duties, and Lin Jian is pragmatic and will not casually take these responsibilities onto the Jiangdong Left Army.
What Lin Jian has to do now is not only to coordinate Tang Haoxin to stabilize the situation in the three cities of Qingzhou, Changyi, and Shouguang, but also to expel the rebels along the Jiaolai River. The Jiaolai River is the most urgent passage to be safeguarded by all parties.
This burden is actually not light, the Jiaolai River is sandwiched between Yishan and Kunyu Mountain, which is convenient for the rebels to attack and hide, and the troops that Lin Jian can use are too few. It was not until the end of March that Lin Jian gathered the main force of the Jiangdong Left Army and entered the southern border of Changyi County, focusing on clearing the bandit villages in Yishan and Kunyu Mountains on both sides of the Jiaolai River, which could directly threaten the safety of the Jiaolai River.
Since a large number of Cao ships do not have the conditions to detour from the sea area at the eastern end of the Shandong Peninsula, ensuring the smooth flow of the Jiaolai River is an expedient measure to maintain the uninterrupted transportation at present.
On 28 March, Xu Jianshen, the right deputy of the imperial capital, left Beijing with a decree and arrived in Qingzhou to interrogate the Changyi River Gang and the Shouguang Qingzhou soldiers about the mutiny, and concurrently served as the envoy of Shandong County.
The Imperial Court of the Imperial Court set up the left and right imperial history, is the second grade, and the status is slightly higher than the six Shangshu; Set up the left and right vice-capitals of the imperial history, is three products; Set up the left and right of the imperial history, is four products. For example, Gu Wuchen is appointed as the envoy of Jiangdong County and adds the title of the right capital to the imperial history, and the deputy capital of the imperial history is the title of the governor-level local officials, such as Yue Lengqiu and Li Zhuo, all of whom are added to the title of the right capital of the imperial history.
Xu Jianshen held the title of the right deputy capital imperial historian and the envoy of Shandong, and the order was directly above Ge Zufang, the Xuanfu envoy of Shandong, and Chen Debiao, the governor of Shandong.
One day after Xu Jianshen arrived in Qingzhou, Xiao Xuanchou, the secretary of the Jiangdong County Prosecutor's Office, also arrived in Qingzhou to participate in the trial of the Changyi mutiny case on behalf of Jiangdong County.
After the Changyi mutiny, a total of more than 4,000 River Gang members were captured, and after Liu Yefei was implicated in the Qingzhou Army mutiny and suppressed, most of the River Gang members have been released, or temporarily stayed in Changyi or returned south along the Jiaolai River, but more than 400 people including Sun Jingxuan and Sun Wenhui were detained in the Qingzhou Mansion Prison as the first culprits in the Changyi mutiny.
At the beginning, Liu Yefei was characterized as a premeditated rebellion and was brought to Qingzhou to strictly guard the more than 400 key criminals in the Changyi mutiny case, and nearly eighty percent of them were children of the Xihehui, and the intentions of Zhang, Yue, and Liu Yefei and others to use the Changyi mutiny to attack the Xihehui forces close to the Jiangdong Left Army were clearly exposed.
Lin Jian has not yet entered Qingzhou City, but Sun Wenbing and Sun Wenwan have met with Sun Jingxuan and Sun Wenyao, who are imprisoned in the prison of Qingzhou Mansion. Sun Wenyao was lame with a leg, Sun Jingxuan was also severely punished, but his life was still fine, and at this time, he was also given special care by the doctor, and he would not be tortured again.
Lin Jian did not go to Qingzhou to participate in the trial of the Changyi mutiny case, and many things were tossed with them, waiting for those people in Qingzhou to make a preliminary conclusion, and then talk about the next step.
In fact, it is also difficult for Xihe Hui to clear his name.
It is a fact that the mutiny in Changyi caused more than a dozen deaths and injuries to the grain officials and transport officials, and Liu Yefei deliberately targeted the Xihe Society before, and also collected a lot of evidence that the Xihe Society secretly hid weapons and set up large and small leaders.
The world is in chaos, the rivers and lakes are crisscrossed, and the river gang is gone, how can they not prepare their own armed guards? With more than 2,000 congregations in the West River Society, how can it be effectively managed without big or small leaders? If these things are not poked, everyone will turn a blind eye and treat them as normal, but once these things are poked, they are still a little unclear.
************
Taerbao Mountain belongs to Changyi County in terms of regional division, but it is geographically closer to Gaomi County in the south, and the Changyi Mutiny is in the north of Kanjia Town at the foot of Taerbao Mountain, and it is sixty or seventy miles away from Jiaozhou Bay.
Lin Jian looked at the river beach in the north of Kanjia Town, the wind was blowing, and the armor on his body was making a loud noise.
After Liu Yefei suppressed the Changyi mutiny, he left a battalion of Qingzhou Army stationed in Kanjiazhai. Although after stabilizing the situation in Qingzhou, Zhou Pu led the cavalry battalion directly into Kanjiazhai with the intention of disarming the Qingzhou army in this battalion, but the news of the mutiny of the Qingzhou army spread first. The Qingzhou army stationed here ransacked Kanjia Town before Zhou Pu's cavalry battalion arrived, and after setting fire to hundreds of grain boats blocking the river beach of Kanjia Town, they occupied a walled fort on Taerbao Mountain and resisted stubbornly.
After Lin Jian led two battalions of soldiers to converge with the cavalry of Zhou Pubu, he uprooted the group of rebels occupying Taerbao Mountain, but the loss of hundreds of boats and tens of thousands of stones and grain was irreparable, and Kanjia Town also suffered heavy losses.
Sun Wenbing, wearing armor, clumsily climbed onto a boat that did not look particularly badly damaged, the side of the ship was still painted with the logo of the Xihe Society, and the canopy of the cabin had been burned, he reached into the cabin and grabbed a handful, and the grain in his hand was burned black, and it was drenched, sticky and sticky, and it could no longer be eaten at all.
Released from Changyi, the children of the Xihe Society who traveled south with Sun Wenbing all the way also climbed onto the burned boat, filled with grief and indignation, and the children of the River Gang relied on the boat to make a living, and the boat was gone, and their lives were ruined.
Lin Jian sighed and said to Zhang Jinxian on his side: "Let's be stationed here temporarily, the water is about to rise, there is no big problem for the river from Kanjiazhai to Jiaozhou Bay to pass the hundred stone boats, and the river in the north of Changyi County will not have much of a problem, the key is to solve the problem of transporting the fifty miles of river from Kanjiazhai to Changyi County." ”
At this time, the scout galloped back and said: "Sun Jingtang led more than 400 congregations of the Xihe Society, rested ten miles away, and came to meet later......
Lin Lian beckoned to Sun Wenbing and said, "Let's go to meet your father!" ”
"How can this be?" Sun Wenbing refused in fear, "My father's charges have not been cleared yet, and he will tell the villain about this." ”
"What do you care about him so much? I know that Xihe will be wronged," Lin Jian said, and then said to Zhang Jinxian, "I'm annoying Lord Zhang to wait here for a while......"
"I'll go with you too, and I'll move my hands and feet." Zhang Jinxian said with a smile.
Right and wrong, Zhang Jinxian is clear in his heart, the situation of party struggle between the DPRK and China is grim, and even to the point where there is no party and no faction, and he must choose a party to take refuge, and he will only come together with Lin Tie and the Jiangdong Left Army.
The Jiangdong Left Army's four battles and four victories in achieving the first feats of King Qin may be a dazzling light for others, but for Yangxin officials and the people, the experience is deep in the bones. At least Zhang Jinxian has never met anyone more trustworthy and reliable than Lin Jian in his life. Previously, he was limited to his duties and wanted to stay in Yangxin; At this time, he had the opportunity to work with Lin Bin, although the situation in front of him was very difficult, but his mind was excited.
Lin Lian smiled and invited Zhang Jinxian to walk side by side with him to greet the Xihe congregation led by Sun Jingxuan to converge in the north.
*********
In this campaign, the Xihe Society mobilized more than 1,800 congregations.
After entering Jiaozhou Bay, in order to cooperate with the government to transport the grain to Laizhou Bay on the north bank of the Jiaolai River, Sun Jingxuan asked Sun Jingtang to lead nearly 400 congregants to stay in Jimo to guard more than 100 medium- and large-sized boats that were inconvenient to enter Jiaolai, and he concentrated more than 220 boats with a capacity of about 100 stones and 1,400 congregations from the Xihe Society to go north, accounting for about one-third of the total number of boats and the total number of river gang congregations.
This is also the main excuse for Liu Yefei to designate the Sun family and the Xihe Society as the masterminds of the Changyi mutiny.
Originally, according to the apportionment ratio of the Zhuhe Gang, the Xihe Society only needed to send less than one-fifth of the boats to the congregation. Sun Jingxuan wanted to be more dedicated and active, after all, Jinhai Caoyun was secretly presided over by the Lin family, but he didn't expect it to become a trumped-up evidence of misdeeds and ill-intentioned intentions in Liu Yefei's mouth.
After the boat sailed to the river beach in Kanjia Town, about half of the more than 70 members of the River Gang who were innocently arrested and beheaded for questioning were children of the Xihe Society. After the Changyi mutiny, most of the more than 1,400 Xihehui disciples who traveled north to Kanjia Town were arrested, except for a few who escaped; More than 400 congregants led by Sun Jingtang who stayed in Jimo were also arrested by the local government, and the boats and grain left in Jiaozhou Bay were also detained by the local government.
When Lin Tie marched into Shandong, Sun Jingxuan and the other Xihe congregants imprisoned in Jimo had not yet had time to transfer to Qingzhou for trial, and the persecution was not serious.
However, among the more than 400 first criminals transferred to Qingzhou, Sun Jingxuan, Sun Wenyao, and the leaders of the Xihe Society were nearly 300, and the other 21 river gangs combined had only 121 people who were given the first culprits in the Changyi mutiny case.
Nearly 4,000 members of the River Gang detained in Changyi County were released, including about 1,100 ordinary members of the Xihe Society.
The rest of the River Gang congregations stayed in Changyi and waited for the matter to be resolved, and then they were sent back in batches or taken back by the River Gangs. Sun Wenbing directly took more than 1,000 Xihehui disciples and went south with Lin Jian to Kanjia Town.
Sun Jingxuan and more than 400 Xihe congregants who were arrested in Jimo were also released after the Qingzhou army mutiny was suppressed, and Lin Jian led his army south from Changyi and sent someone to inform Sun Jingtang that he should lead the more than 400 congregations who stayed in Jimo to Kanjia Town to converge.
Before the case is concluded, the Xihe Society's boats and grain in Jiaozhou Bay will be detained by the local government.
*********
Sun Jingtang and others were arrested in the Jimo County prison for more than 10 days, and they also suffered a lot, many of their privately carried goods were searched by the jailers, and many people's clothes were stripped away. Although the people were released, but the ships were seized by the local government, and the people sent by Lin Tie to meet them were in a hurry and had no preparations, Sun Jingxuan and others came north, dressed in rags, like an army of beggars, many of them faltered, wounded and sick.
Sun Jingtang was resting ten miles away, hoping that when he saw Lin Bin, he could make everyone's mental outlook look better, but he really couldn't look much better.
Sun Jingtang himself walked with a limp on a tree, and Lin Jian sent a man to pick up a small number of horses, but they were all left for the more seriously injured congregation to ride.
Sun Wenbing is also a man who doesn't flick with tears, seeing his father like this, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and walked over to kowtow to Sun Jingtang: "The child is incapable of harming his father and is tired...... Sun Wenwan also burst into tears, and went over to kowtow to his uncle.
"What kind of bastard," Sun Jingtang stabbed his son with a tree tree, now is not the time to talk about family, he limped to the forest, plopped to his knees and fell to the ground, regardless of Zhang Jinxian and other officials on the side, kowtowed and said, "My lord's kindness, Sun Jingtang has nothing to repay." The Xihe Society has fallen apart and ceased to exist, and the Sun family has a few sinners, and since then they have been used as cattle and horses for the adults to repay the great kindness of the adults! ”
"What is this! I, Jing Zhong, and Wen Bing are brothers and sisters, how can I accept this gift from you? Lin Lian hurriedly knelt down and hugged Sun Jingtang's arm and picked Sun Jingtang up from the ground. Just mean it, he will be stupid enough to push the Sun family and the Xihe Society out at this time? In terms of seniority, he really can't accept such a big gift from Sun Jingtang, unless he is openly self-reliant, he can talk about this kind of dignity.
