Chapter 63: Rebellion
Gao Liang's short beard stood upside down, and he glared at him and said, "Stinky boy, you are a Xie Yuangong, can't you be polite?" at least call me a senior!"
Chang Wei said in the presence of the old god: "You first admit that you are Wan Shitong!"
Gao Liangcai raised his head and said, "If you are rude, I won't admit it!"
Chang Wei sat in the official hat chair, crossed Erlang's legs and said: "Old guy, let me tell you that I am the envoy of Jinyi Weibei Town, if you are not convinced, be careful that I seal your Rejuvenation Hall." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Gao Liangcai shouted: "Why are you? I didn't break the law!"
Chang Wei said proudly: "Daming is a society ruled by law, and it is not up to you to decide whether you violate the law or not." ”
"Stinky boy, the old man has never seen such a shameless person as you!" Gao Liangcai shook his head and said, "Okay, I'm Wan Shitong, what's the matter with you?"
"Good thing!" After the joke ended, Chang Wei Zhengse said: "Senior Wan, I came to you to discuss the matter of governing the rivers and lakes......
After a few days of discussion, the matter of governing the rivers and lakes gradually came to an eyebrow, and this day Jinyi Wei came to invite Chang Wei in a hurry.
This time I went not to Liu Tingyuan's official residence of the military department, but the mansion of the Duke of Wei, and when Chang Wei arrived, Xu Hongji, Huang Qiulin, Liu Tingyuan and Wei Liangdong were all present.
"These bastards dare to rebel, they want to destroy their nine clans!" Wei Liangdong was jumping to his feet and scolding.
Chang Wei was shocked, "Who rebelled?"
Wei Liangdong's face turned pale, "White Lotus Sect and Holy Mother Sect!"
"What?" Chang Wei took a deep breath, his mind racing, "No wonder they dared to assassinate Master Hou last time, it turned out to be the idea of rebellion!"
Judging from the current situation, the White Lotus Sect and the Holy Mother Sect conspired to rebel, and the assassination of Wei Liangdong was similar to the act of sacrificing the flag, and the success of the assassination could naturally greatly boost morale, and the failure was only the loss of a few masters, from the perspective of rebellion, a few fewer people would not affect anything at all.
received the information handed by Wei Liangdong, which said: On the third day of the seventh month, the Shandong White Lotus Sect and the Fengyang Holy Mother Sect rose up together, and made a big banner with letters on both sides of the banner to "eradicate Wei Eunuch" and "set the world", with tens of thousands of followers.
The White Lotus Sect has a great momentum, successively conquering Yuncheng and Juye two counties, taking Weishan Lake as the foundation, supporting Xu Hongru as the Zhongxing Fulie Emperor, building the name Dacheng Xingsheng, and setting up official positions to establish a puppet government.
Although the Church of Our Lady only captured Dingyuan County, its impact was even greater.
Fengyang Mansion and Shuntian Mansion, Ying Tianfu, and called Sandu. It is where the feng shui dragon vein of the ancestral tomb of the Ming Dynasty is located, once the Fengyang Mansion is lost, the Nanjing Military Department, the Nanjing Town Guard Eunuch and even Grandpa Xu will not be able to eat and walk around.
Except for Wei Liangdong who was roaring, none of the other three people in charge spoke, and Chang Wei asked, "How did the imperial court respond?"
Liu Tingyuan said: "The imperial court ordered Zhao Yan, the governor of Shandong, to take full charge of the suppression of thieves, and Zhao Yan used Yang Zhaoji, the former chief soldier of Datong, as the chief military officer of Shandong. Shandong Dusi Yang Guosheng and Liao Dong recruited Xiangyong to assist in suppressing thieves. Meng Chengguang, the sixty-sixth grandson of Mencius, also led the village to assist the official army. ”
"It's all guards and village warriors?" Chang Wei was shocked, "Doesn't the imperial court send elite soldiers to suppress it?"
Most of the guards in the world fled, and they had no combat power at all, so letting the guards serve as the main force to suppress thieves was simply sending them to thieves.
Grandpa Xu frowned, and replied: "The elites of the Ming Dynasty are all concentrated on the Liaodong front, and the imperial court is unable to send a large army to encircle and suppress the White Lotus Sect. ”
Chang Weilang said: "Zou and Teng counties are adjacent to Jining in the north and Xuzhou in the south, which is an important node on the canal and the lifeblood of communication between the north and the south. If this place is bad, the country's road to advance and retreat will be exhausted! How can the imperial court ignore it?"
Huang Qiulin reprimanded: "Alarmist, just a cult can be destroyed with a backhand, why make a big fuss?"
"What a fuss?" Chang Wei turned his head suddenly, and Huang Qiulin, whose eyes were like thunder, shrank slightly.
Immediately, he looked at Liu Tingyuan and said, "Forget it, the White Lotus Sect is a matter for the governor of Shandong." Fengyang, the central capital, cannot afford to be lost, I don't know how Lord Shangshu can quell the Holy Mother Sect?"
Normally, the guard of Nanzhili was trained by the Governor's Office of the Five Armies in Nanjing, and the supreme commander was Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, who was also the governor of the capital, but the right to transfer troops and send generals belonged to the Nanjing Military Department, which was the famous system of separating generals and soldiers.
"This official has sent an expedited 800 li to Fengyangwei to the commander Jing Yichun, ordering him to strictly guard the imperial tomb in Fengyang City, and ordering the commanders of the five prefectures of Bo, Su, Ying, Si, and Shou to gather in Dingyuan, and I believe that the thieves will be wiped out in the near future!" Liu Tingyuan said confidently.
Chang Wei looked at the map of Fengyang on the screen and was silent.
Liu Tingyuan was displeased and said, "What's the matter?
Chang Wei stretched out his hand and drew a circle on the map, and said, "If your Excellency empties the forces of the five states, you will not be afraid that the thieves will reflexively cause trouble in the five states, and the chaos will be even worse?"
Liu Tingyuan snorted coldly, "What kind of ability do you have to break through the imperial army? The chaos is even worse? It's simply alarmist!"
Chang Wei shook his head, returned to his seat, and asked Wei Liangdong, "Since Lord Shangshu has a perfect plan, I don't know what Lord Hou called me to do?"
Wei Liangdong said: "The emperor ordered me to destroy the traitors of the Holy Mother Sect with Grandpa Xu, Lao Huang, and Lao Liu, I have to do something, right?
"Go to Fengyang to suppress thieves?" Chang Wei was stunned for a moment, and immediately persuaded: "Master Hou, it is not a joke to break the enemy soldiers on the battlefield, the war of thousands of troops and horses is a hundred times more dangerous than the last assassination in the gambling house, and it is better for Hou Ye to sit in command of Nanjing City!"
Chang Wei secretly scolded in his heart: "I'm afraid this kid wants to take advantage of the chaos to grab merit and money, right?"
Wei Liangdong said nonchalantly: "Didn't Lao Liu say that there is no danger?
Chang Wei rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think I can fight tens of thousands?"
Huang Qiulin never let go of every opportunity to slander Chang Wei, "What kind of attitude do you have? I think you are retreating!"
Liu Tingyuan also echoed: "Lord Chang, it is within your duty to serve the country as the envoy of Jinyi Weibei Town, don't you want to hide?"
"Can you two stop?" Chang Wei scolded, and asked Wei Liangdong again: "Even if you want to go, you have to bring a group of people, Jinyiwei is not suitable for war, how many people are you going to bring?"
Wei Liangdong suddenly became high-spirited, "I'm going to take the Shenji Battalion to go!"
"Shenji Battalion!" Chang Wei suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Hongji, who nodded slightly and said: "Lord Wei is on a mission, but he can act cheaply, and he has the right to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the first battalion of the Nanjing Jing Battalion. ”
The most important function of the Nanjing garrison is to be in charge of the Nanjing Beijing Battalion, which has the same three elite battalions of the Ming army: the five military battalions, the three thousand battalions, and the Shenji battalion.
The Shenji Battalion is the most mysterious and unique type of military in the Ming army.
There were 5,000 non-commissioned men, including 3,060 infantrymen, all equipped with bird guns, 400 artillery men, 160 field heavy artillery, 200 Dalian Zhu guns, 400 artillery guns for self-defense, and 1,000 cavalrymen.
Wei Liangdong was already proud, "How about it? With the Divine Machine Battalion in hand, this little thief is not worrying at all." ”
Chang Wei nodded and said, "There are strong soldiers, what about good generals?
