The imperial court planned to disband Chang Yu's army.
From 17,000 people to about 3,000 people, that means more than 14,000 people have to be laid off.
Seven captains alone will be eliminated, while chief officials and six civil servants will remain unchanged. As for captains, team leaders, chiefs, etc., there will be even more abolitions.
After disarmament, the welfare benefits of soldiers will disappear.
This caused dissatisfaction among the generals of Chang Yu's army.
Five regiments led by Chen Li, the captain of the first regiment of Chang Yu's army, launched a mutiny and kidnapped the general, chief officials and six civil servants of Chang Yu's army, demanding negotiations with the imperial court.
In the process of communicating with the governor of Yuanzhou and the prefect of Cheng Changyu County, he killed the chief official of Changyu County.
When the governor of Yuanzhou and Changyu County learned that the chief official had been killed, they hurried 800 miles to notify Emperor Wei, which led to today's scene.
Of course this is recorded in the file.
However, it is very reasonable. When the two armies are fighting, it is not necessary to kill them.
Chen Li just killed the chief officer of Chang Yu's army. How could Emperor Wei not be furious?
He had already given enough, but during the mutiny negotiations he also wanted to kill people, and also plundered many villages.
Emperor Wei decided to destroy the rebels.
After Huo Wu and Liu Jinghe read the dossier, they understood the whole story.
Huo Wu looked at Qin Yu and asked, "Prince-in-law, who do you think has a problem here?"
Qin Yu shook his head and muttered: "I can't explain clearly, because I don't know these people well, but the biggest mystery in this matter is that Chen Li wanted to negotiate with the court, but why did he kill him for no reason?
Chief Changyu? This is no longer a negotiation, this is a rebellion, and they also looted several villages afterwards. This is not a sign of wanting to negotiate at all."
"We, the Wei Dynasty, have wiped out all Wuluo, and now are the peaceful days when the army and the people are united. What's the point of their rebellion at this time? Aren't they pushing themselves into a pit of fire?"
Huo Wu nodded, "What the Prince Consort said is absolutely true."
Qin Yu pondered and said: "Go to Changyu County and find out the background of the prefect, the chief officials and the rebel captains. They were to defend Liangzhou from expanding their army, and many of them were locals. If you want to know
We must hear the truth with our own ears."
Huo Wu bowed his head and said: "I understand my humble position."
Afterwards, Huo Wu and Liu Jinghe left.
In fact, Qin Yu's biggest worry is that this matter has something to do with the King of Liangzhou.
The next day.
early morning.
Jinling City, western suburbs.
The Three Thousand Battalion, Zuowuwei and Youwuwei have already assembled in the western suburbs.
Among the twelve guards in Jinling City, except Zuo Xiaowei, each army has a strength of about 30,000.
Except for the left Xiaowei stationed in the grassland, the left leading army guard guarding the Liangzhou direction, and the right leading army guard defending the Dianzhou direction, the remaining nine guards all stayed to guard Jinling City.
Qin Yu and Xiao Nan didn't waste any time and led three thousand battalions, Zuo Wuwei and You Wuwei to attack Changyu County in Yuanzhou.
In fact, Xiao Nan was very excited to lead the 3,000 battalion on an expedition for the first time, but it was to encircle and suppress the rebels, which was a small regret.
The Mingguang Armor for the soldiers of the Three Thousand Battalion has not been finished yet.
However, horses, horizontal knives and hard bows have all been distributed, and the horses riding on them are all bloody horses.
The weapons and equipment of the soldiers of the three thousand battalion are enviable to death by the soldiers on the left and right of the armed guards.
All of them are general-level weapons, equipment and mounts.
The whole journey was silent.
Qin Yu led the army all the way to Changyu County.
...
Wonju.
Changyu County.
It is at the foot of a mountain a hundred miles away from the eastern border of Liangzhou.
Chen Li led Chang Yu's army to station here.
Because this place is very close to Liangzhou, if there is any change in the court, he will bring people to Liangzhou to join the king of Liangzhou.
There is no other way.
Changyu Army Camp.
Handsome tent.
Chen Li, the captain of the 1st Regiment of Changyu Army, looked at the food on the table without any appetite.
He doesn't want to cause trouble, let alone mutiny, let alone treason. He just wants to help his brothers get back what belongs to them.
But how did things get to where they are today?
at the same time.
Liu Fang, the captain of the Second Regiment, walked in and said, "Brother, why haven't you eaten yet?"
Liu Fang and Chen Li grew up in the same village. They joined the army together and were promoted to officials together. They have a very good relationship.
Liu Fang was deeply trusted by Chen Li and was also the organizer of the mutiny.
Chen Li took a sip of wine, looked at Liu Fang, and said in a deep voice: "Second brother, tell me the truth. Did Governor Feng Zhang really tell you that the three years of military pay promised to us by the imperial court were gone?"
Liu Fang sat aside impatiently, "Brother! You've asked me about this hundreds of times! Can I still lie to you? When the imperial court ordered the disarmament of the army, the soldiers agreed to receive three years of additional military pay. How long?
The team leader and team leader are getting a four-year supplementary military pay, and the school lieutenant is getting a five-year supplementary military pay, and then 40% will be paid this year, and the rest will be paid out gradually!"
"That bastard Feng Zhang said that the military pay from the imperial court had not been approved yet. I didn't think much about it at the time, but later I heard from a fellow villager who worked in the government office that the money had actually arrived, and he was the one who handled it, so I went
I asked Feng Zhang for a theory, but who knew that bastard Feng Zhang not only said no, but also beat me up, and it’s not like you didn’t know that my ribs were broken! The person here said, what good does it do me to lie to you!
?”
"We grew up playing together, joining the army together, killing enemies together, making contributions together, and being promoted to captains together. We will always share blessings and share hardships! I carried you out from the dead twice, for you
I've been cheated on twice! Don't you still trust me!?"
As Liu Fang spoke, he lifted up his clothes, revealing scars on them.
Listen to Liu Fang's words.
Look at the scars on his body.
Chen Li frowned deeply, "Of course I know that we are brothers, but... But why did you kill the chief of Changyu County, and why did you plunder the village!? You forgot that we also climbed up from the common people.
Are you up?!"
Liu Fang said angrily: "I have not forgotten, of course I have not forgotten! Why did I kill that official? Not because of you!? Have you forgotten what he did to your father and mother? He is your Chen Li
The enemy of Liu Fang is my enemy, and I will never let him go even if I die!"
"I admit that I was not strict in controlling those two villages, but they were forced to do nothing else. Otherwise, where would we have food to eat!?"
"well......"
Chen Li sighed angrily, "This...this is a small gain, a big gain! We rebelled to make things worse, to make the court pay attention to this matter, and to get the compensation our brothers deserve, you...
.... By doing this, aren’t you making it clear that you are going against the imperial court and intending to commit rebellion!?”
Liu Fang listened and said angrily: "Are we going to be against each other?! We have been through life and death for so many years!? Why do we charge into battle and die? We are always the first. It is not our turn to get promoted and make money, and we have to be punished."
It’s been abolished! Isn’t it because we are from ordinary people and have no backing to bully!?”
