Chapter 144 Jizhou Rebellion

In the past few days when Wang Qi arrived in the capital, at the same time, a civil uprising was slowly brewing in Jizhou Prefecture, hundreds of miles away.

Jizhou Prefecture has jurisdiction over Lu'an County, where the White Lotus Sect has been handed down since the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. It worships Maitreya Buddha and promotes the religious prophecy that "Maitreya will be reborn", which is originally a Maitreya Pure Land method. There are many followers, and the lower-level believers gather at night.

Ming San, gathering people to cause trouble, and those at a higher level, collaborating with local clan officials to dominate one side.

Recently, due to frequent wars in Liaodong, the people of Liaodong fled south. After passing Shanhaiguan, most of them fled to Jizhou Prefecture and were noticed by the White Lotus Sect. Most of the refugees in the south of Liaodong were illiterate and were deceived by others.

, In addition, when you join the religion, you will be given food, porridge, and water, and everyone will flock to you. For a while, they are all White Lotus believers.

At first, Cai Huaiguo, the prefect of Jizhou, praised the White Lotus Sect for helping the government appease the refugees and giving out porridge and water. But later, as the number of White Lotus sect members increased, they began to gather people and break into private homes and the yards of wealthy households to rob property.

In the name of Maitreya coming to the world and praying for incense, he gathered believers and preached that immortals would come to the world to save all sentient beings, and that all mundane things were false. When the situation began to develop in a dangerous direction, Cai Huaiguo realized that something was wrong.

Is this preaching doctrine?

If this is not handled carefully, the refugees will fall into the city and the capital will be in chaos.

In the important land of the capital, at the foot of heaven and earth, such chaos that despises the power of heaven happened, and Cai Huaiguo, the governor, was unknowingly frightened.

You must know that most of the soldiers and horses of Jizhou Prefecture went north to participate in the war to regain Liaodong. In the entire Gyeonggi Province, only the garrison camp of the capital was available. This kind of misfortune involving the gathering of folk religions occurred in the jurisdiction. Xu Guangqi was ordered by the emperor to go to Jizhou to appease him.

Cai Huaiguo, the disaster victim, first reported the matter to Mr. Xu, the Minister of Rites.

But on the day Xu Guangqi arrived in Jizhou Prefecture, that is, when Wang Qi had just arrived in Beijing from Shanhaiguan, the Bailian cultivators in Lu'an County suddenly gathered together to launch an attack. They destroyed the county government office, looted granaries, killed guards, and set fire to the entire city.

The official of Lu'an County Government learned that County Jiao Fei had died. When the news came, the entire Jizhou Prefecture was in an uproar.

"I have already written to the imperial court to report this matter, but before the imperial court orders it, we cannot sit back and watch the white lotus rebels disrupt the important areas of the capital. Mr. Cai, please immediately gather more than a hundred officers in the city and inform Jizhou Prefecture to prepare troops.

, gather the troops and prepare for the battle, and rush to the Sixth Form tomorrow morning.

Ancun, capture the thieves first, capture the king, and arrest the leader who gathered to make trouble. The rest of the people will be a mob! When the time comes, the government will show them favor and distribute food, and the matter will be solved. For the refugees, who do they listen to?

It’s not a problem, it’s whether you have enough food and not go hungry!”

Xu Guangqi was wearing a purple official robe, sitting in the top position with a serious face, and was learning from Cai Huaiguo, the prefect of Jizhou.

After all, killing thieves first by decapitating them is also Wang Qi's quick move to conquer Liaodong. Xu Guangqi has recently studied Wang Qi's Liaodong war strategy, in which such planning and operations are often seen. This time he came to Jizhou Prefecture to rescue the refugees, and Mr. Xu also

I want to show off my skills.

Although Cai Huaiguo is unbearable, after all, his colleague Xu Guangqi cannot ignore death!

"Don't worry, Sir, the government's spies in Lu'an Village have been deployed. As soon as the officers and soldiers arrive, there will be spies to respond. When the time comes, they will arrest the bandit leaders with thunderous force! The refugees and the followers are all gangsters. If you use thunder and rain, Jizhou will be destroyed."

The house is safe..." Cai Huaiguo nodded in agreement while thinking about how to rule Buddhism and Taoism Qingli in the future. It would be better to kill them all!

At this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall.

Not long after, I saw my personal entourage hurriedly running towards me, followed by the Qianhu official from the Bingbei Prefecture. He gasped and said: "Two adults, something serious has happened! News just came from Jizhou Prefecture.

In addition, Yutian County, Lu'an County, Jing'er County and other three county governments all have

It was the refugees who attacked. All government officers and officials were tied up and sunk into the river. The magistrates of the three counties were stripped of their robes and tied to wooden stakes and paraded through the streets. The refugees in that group were under the command of the White Lotus Sect.

Next, we are attacking Jizhou Prefecture."

"What!" Xu Guangqi's expression changed, he stood up suddenly and said angrily: "Kill the officials! Kidnap the county magistrate! Gathering a crowd to make trouble has turned into a rebellion! Send an order to summon all the troops to defend the city first, wait for the information to be found out, etc.

My order is to quell the rebellious people again!"

When Xu Guangqi gave the order, Cai Huaiguo, who was sitting next to him, was already pale and could only mutter: It's over, it's over, it's over.

Not only is his official career over, but his life may also be at risk!

"Prefect Cai!" Xu Guangqi turned around and looked at the embarrassed appearance of the prefect of Jizhou, with a very unswerving look on his face: "Please also summon the commander of Jizhou, the envoy of Zhenfu and others as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures!!"

"Ah?" Cai Huaiguo looked at Xu Guangqi in confusion, and after a while he said confusedly: "Sir, the commander of Jizhou Prefecture is not stationed in Jizhou Prefecture. He is usually in the capital... staying, staying behind."

"Stay in the capital?" Xu Guangqi was stunned when he heard this, and then felt that it was extremely ridiculous!

The commander of Jizhou Prefecture is not stationed in Jizhou, but hangs out in the capital every day!

The word "stay behind" is easy to say!

Sijiuchenglun needs your commanding officer from Jizhou Prefecture to stay behind?

Just say that you are leaving your post without permission to camp in the capital!

"How many people are there in Jizhou Mansion now?" Xu Guangqi's heart twitched, and there was a bad feeling in his heart. This huge Jizhou Mansion will not be captured by a group of refugees, right?

"Full plan, more than a thousand guards," Cai Huaiguo, the prefect of Jizhou, licked his chapped lips, looking guilty.

He pursed his lips tightly, and the beard on his lips was trembling because of his anger. Xu Guangqi felt as if he was trapped in a huge whirlpool.

He was ordered to go to the area around Gyeonggi to pacify the refugees, but he had no money, no food, and no one. When he arrived at Jizhou Prefecture, he met Bai Lian again, inciting the refugees to cause trouble, and captured three counties. He came towards Jizhou Prefecture again, but he

There are no soldiers, horses or silver in my hands.

Xu Guangqi no longer paid attention to Cai Huaiguo, but instead waved his followers to go to the Thousand Household Office to gather people with the order: "Send the order! There are thousands of officials from the Jizhou Prefecture Guard Office, and more than ten hundred officials, within one stick of incense,

Come meet me here!"

Cai Huaiguo couldn't count on him, so Xu Guangqi could only rely on the more than a thousand soldiers in Jizhou Prefecture.

Soothe the inner city, defend the outer city, and wait for reinforcements from the imperial court!

Thinking of this, Xu Guangqi looked up at the sky and saw that the night sky was dim, a cool breeze was rising, and there seemed to be dull thunder rolling in the distance.

The cool breeze is blowing, the thunder is booming, and it’s going to rain.

"Sir!" Cai Huaiguo's face was still pale, he stood up and said tremblingly: "I heard that Duke Lang has just returned to Beijing. Do you want to send a letter to the court and ask Duke Lang to lead his troops to suppress the rebels?"

"If you don't want Duke Lang to come over and kill him with a knife, you can just write to beg Duke Lang to go to Ji!" Xu Guangqi was furious and pointed at Cai Huaiguo: "Gong Lang just cut off his troops at Shanhaiguan.

Dear friend Tianhe, I think you will follow in the same footsteps!"

Ah!

Cai Huaiguo opened his mouth wide, rolled his eyes, and with a plop, he fainted from fright.
Chapter completed!
