The dozen or so soldiers of the Qingzhou Army who crossed the line never thought that the Jiangdong Left Army would kill them at will. Dozens of sharp arrows were fired at them. They had no place to hide. Even if they were fifty steps away, they could not attack the infantry bows even if they were wearing armor.
Effective protection was formed. Only three or five people were lucky enough not to be hit by the arrows, and they stood there as if scared, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.
com
Many people died immediately after being hit by arrows. More than a dozen soldiers who were hit by arrows hid and wailed. The four leaders of this group of soldiers who encouraged the most riots also shot Ao Canghai with arrows. The two of them went back with their injured hands and feet.
Climbing, fearing that more random arrows would come, one person lay motionless on the ground, seeing that he could not live. Another person was hit by an arrow in the chest, covering the wound of the arrow with his hand, sitting on the ground and yelling, asking the soldiers to rush forward and kill Jiang Dongzuo.
The army avenged him.
However, this large group of Qingzhou Army soldiers faced the Jiangdong Left Army's tightly organized formation and the cold arrows protruding from the gaps in the high shields. They did not have the courage to advance any further, but they also blocked the street and refused to retreat easily...
"This group of rebels was unprepared, or they were beguiled by rumors and acted hastily to prevent our troops from entering the city." Ao Canghai handed the bow to the guards and stepped back to reply to Lin Fu, "They are hesitant at this time.
If they are unable to advance or retreat, it won't be a serious problem. Should we just send people to defeat them?"
"It's unnecessary," Lin Fu shook his head, "Since they don't want me to go into the city, then I'll find a place to rest here for a while. The Shandong County Sheriff will come forward to clean up the mess, so I can't be asked to clean up the mess for them.
Bar."
Lin Fu said to Du Juefu and other Shouguang local officials: "Please send government officials to go through the alleys and inform the people in the city to close their doors and houses to avoid the disturbance of the rioters..."
Du Juefu did not expect that Liu Yefei, Chen Debiao and others all agreed with Lin Fu to enter the city to discuss the aftermath of the Changyi mutiny. However, the generals under the Qingzhou Army got into chaos for no reason and wanted to drive Lin Fu and the Jiangdong Zuo Army out of the city. Although they could still be intimidated at this time
A huge chaos broke out immediately, but almost half of the street was blocked, and thousands of Qingzhou soldiers refused to retreat.
Du Juefu only felt that his head was swollen. He knew that once these soldiers lost control, there would be chaos. He did not dare to take half a step away from Lin Fu. After all, he felt that it was safe to stay with Lin Fu. He listened to Lin Fu's orders and used them.
The government officials took to the alleys to inform the people in the city to close their doors to prevent the Qingzhou Army from causing a big commotion.
Lin Fu felt a headache when he saw the situation in front of him. He bowed his head and gave in. If the officials of Shandong County were worried about being remonstrated by soldiers, they could refuse him entry into the city. Even if they negotiated across the city wall or had someone pass the message on, it would be better than forcing him to do so.
It would be much better for the rebels to stop them from entering the city. Looking at the chaos of these soldiers crowding the streets, there is no order, and they don't look like they are being driven from behind. If it is not a human-induced commotion, but a spontaneous commotion or mutiny, then
It will be even worse. Once the situation worsens and expands, it will be difficult to control.
Lin Fu brought too few troops into the city, and there were no reinforcements outside the city. It would be easy to defeat the group of rebels in front of him, but if more than 4,000 Qingzhou troops in Shouguang City were to blow up their camps and mutiny, the problem would be troublesome.
.
Lin Fu was not worried that a major mutiny would be detrimental to them.
The situation in front of him shows that Liu Yefei has very poor control over the Qingzhou Army. For more than a month, he has only focused on recruiting surrender troops and defeating them. He has only focused on extending favors to win over his own forces, but has not rectified them. The military attachés and generals are all copycats.
The leader, the leader of the defeated troops, and the soldiers were all under their own command, and it was very confusing.
If the Qingzhou Army were divided into small groups or divided into small groups, they might still have some combat effectiveness. After all, the military attaches and generals all have some close associates who can be called upon, but there is insufficient trust between these military attaches and generals. Maybe a battalion of the Qingzhou Army is a direct line or a collateral line.
It is divided into more than a dozen factions. To put it bluntly, the Qingzhou Army at this time is just a ragtag group that has been forcibly gathered together. It has not yet truly formed a complete Qingzhou Army system.
This kind of Qingzhou Army may be slightly stronger than the rogue bandits, but it will not pose much of a threat to the Jiangdong Left Army.
The elite of the first battalion who followed Lin Fu into Shouguang City were not afraid of being attacked by the mob, and it was even easy to defeat these mobs.
The Qingzhou Army was originally composed of defeated soldiers and bandits, but it was defeated twice in a short period of time. The destructive power of the defeated soldiers who fell into despair and madness to the local area is unimaginable.
Even if these Qingzhou troops are to be suppressed by force, more troops must be mobilized to be sure to control the situation.
Tang Hao
Take it out..."
Ma Chao touched his nose and said: "Tang Gong is in the post house in the east of the city. It is not convenient to pick him up for the time being. However, with the protection of more than 60 soldiers sent by you to guard the post house from the attack of the rebels, there should be no serious problem...
"
Ma Chao knew in his heart why the current situation occurred. It was he who spread the rumors about the liquidation of rebel generals and surrendered generals in the Qingzhou Army. During the day, he also used Tang Haoxin's name to forcefully demand Shandong Governor Chen Debiao and the Shouguang County Government to severely crack down.
The soldiers of the Qingzhou Army violated military discipline and disturbed the people in Shouguang City, which made the Qingzhou Army feel the oppression of being liquidated.
Ma Chao originally thought that the rumors would not have an immediate effect. Neither he nor Tang Haoxin expected how much panic Lin Fu's killing of the traitorous generals in Yangxin would cause to the traitorous generals in the Qingzhou Army and the surrendered general.
The generals of the Qingzhou Army were unable to understand the urgency of the grain shortage and the grain crisis in the capital, nor could they understand that behind Lin Fu's invasion of Shandong and the confrontation with the Shandong County Secretary, the split between Tang Gu and Zhang Yue, the core figures of the Chu Party, was involved -
---Lin Fu directly sent troops into the heart of Qingzhou to suppress the bandits when he advanced into Shandong, which easily caused them to have unnecessary associations. The hesitation and concessions of Liu Yefei and other officials in Shandong County further deepened the special feeling of the Qingzhou army generals.
It is the doubt in the hearts of generals who have a bad record of defecting to the enemy and rebelling.
At first, even a few officers who were drunk in a tavern heard that the Jiangdong Left Army was entering the city. They rushed to the city and wanted to rely on the Qingzhou Army's overwhelming numbers in Shouguang to go back to the barracks and pull out more than a hundred of their subordinates.
We came to Beicheng to prevent Jiangdong's left army from entering the city. During the day, many soldiers who did not observe military discipline and disturbed the people were beaten dozens of times by the admiral's office and the county government. They were holding back hatred in their hearts; there were even three people who raped the city.
The women in the houses of the wealthy families were arrested and held accountable for their crimes. Their accomplices also held grudges and wanted to cause trouble, fearing that the world would not be in chaos. With a sigh of relief, it was only three to five hundred steps from South Street to North Street.
Thousands of people gathered just a short distance away, creating an uncontrollable situation...
The contagion and spread of people's panic is extremely rapid, especially since the Qingzhou Army has not yet formed a complete system. Once a riot occurs, it is difficult to control it. There are not only a few cases in history where rebels threaten the generals to rebel.
At the moment, Lin Fu is only using force to temporarily suppress the situation near the North City Gate to prevent it from worsening. Now it depends on whether Liu Yefei has the ability and courage to suppress these turbulent Qingzhou troops.
Of course, Lin Fu did not fully count on Liu Yefei, so he secretly sent scouts to contact Zhou Pu. Zhou Pu led the cavalry camp to rest at Yangshan Village, thirty miles away, and he would be the fastest to get there; Zhou Tong led the third battalion of armored soldiers.
In the morning, we left the mouth of Yanghe River and headed for Yangshanzhai along the east bank of Yanghe River. We should be on the west side of Shouguang at this time and can be mobilized in time to suppress the mutiny.
Shouguang City is not big, so when the Jiangdong Zuojun fired a warning shot with a thundering arrow, the harsh and sharp sound naturally reached the ears of Liu Yefei, Chen Debiao, Ge Zufang and others who were waiting at the county office. Only then did they realize what was going on outside, as if they were waking up from a dream.
Something went wrong.
Liu Yefei was still unclear about the situation at first, so he sent people out to find out. They waited for news in the yard in front of the county government. A deputy lieutenant Zhenwei of the Qingzhou Army, half covered in blood, fled back with an arrow stuck in his shoulder, and reported to Liu Yefei
When Jiangdong Zuojun entered the city, they killed people indiscriminately and said they would arrest Liu Yefei and other Shandong county officials for questioning.
Liu Yifei's brows were twitching wildly, and he was extremely angry. He pointed at the sky and the ground and cursed: "The mother named Lin is a son of a bitch. He took the courage of a leopard and dared to rebel in Qingzhou. If I didn't beat him, my mother wouldn't recognize him.
My surname is not Liu..." Without thinking about it, he sent an order to mobilize troops to join the battle in Beicheng and drive the Jiangdong left army out of the city.
"Wait a minute!" Chen Debiao can serve as the governor of Shandong. In addition to his previous appointment as a doctor in the Ministry of War, he also actually served as a military supervisor in the border army for several years with the title of military preparation. He has actual experience in leading troops, but he is not that good.
He coaxed and winked at the guards on the left and right, and several people on the left and right swarmed up and took down the Deputy Lieutenant Zhenwei. Chen Debiao was so wide-eyed that he pulled out half of his saber, pressed it on his neck, and shouted: "What's wrong with you?"
What happened to the arrow wound? Do you really think that we are all blind? How could the Jiangdong Zuo Army kill anyone just when they entered the city and just blinked? If you say half a sentence, you will not save your life if you are careful!
"
Lieutenant Zhenwei had twenty or thirty close followers guarding the gate of the county government office. Watching the leader being detained, he rushed in to rob people regardless of the situation.
In the courtyard of the county government office, Chen Debiao, Liu Yefei, and Ge Zufang all had many guards. There were two to three hundred people gathered together. However, the rebels suddenly rushed in. Ge Zufang was the first to flee into the lobby in panic. Chen Debiao was also startled.
, gave the Deputy Lieutenant Zhenwei an opportunity to break free, and seven or eight soldiers were guarding him in front of the steps. They rushed over to protect him. Only one person chased the Deputy Lieutenant Zhenwei, and only had time to cut him on the arm, but not in time.
When I had to add another blow, the rebels rushed in.
Lieutenant Zhenwei was the one who took the lead to cause trouble outside Beicheng to prevent Jiangdong's left army from entering the city. He was hit by an arrow and did not dare to rush forward. He retreated to the back. Thinking about it, he felt unwilling to do so. It was true that things were already in trouble.
At this point, if he doesn't make a big fuss or make a big fuss, he will definitely not be able to reap the benefits. He has learned a truth after being around for these years. If you don't have the strength, the government will naturally catch you, suppress you, and use you as a scapegoat.
When it comes to military merit and political achievements; you must have strength and have soldiers and pawns in your hands. No matter how many evil things you do in daily life, the government will only recruit you and stick to you with a warm face.
As soon as the man struggled away, he jumped to the gate and shouted loudly: "Damn it, the Admiral's Office is going to liquidate the Qingzhou Army. I was almost killed by the dog/mother Chen Debiao. If we don't fight back, our brothers will have no chance of survival! We robbed Shouguang City.
Let's go back to the mountains and be bandits, drink old wine, live happily, and be happy, it will be a hundred times better than having to suffer here!"
Only then did Chen Debiao know for sure that the Qingzhou Army had mutinied. He hurriedly commanded his left and right guards to kill more than 20 rebels in the yard. He closed the gate of the county government office and sent people to find ladders to climb up the wall. Shouguang City's north and south, east and west
All the main streets were occupied by rioters. The rioters had already started smashing and looting shops along the street. The situation was out of control and tended to get worse. They had spent too long in the county government studying how to deal with Lin Fu's arrival in the city and completely ignored it.
Understand the internal dynamics of the Qingzhou Army in the city.
"What should we do? What should we do?" Ge Zufang was like a headless fly, trembling and trembling only worried about his own life. "Quickly send an order to Lin Fu to lead the troops into the town to suppress the mutiny!"
"Why are you panicking!" Liu Yefei also completely lost his patience with the timid Ge Zufang, and stopped Ge Zufang's mindless yelling with a scolding tone. He said, "I usually treat these bastards very well, and I will never miss them.
You are rebelling against me for no reason. How can we know that it is not the pigherder who is causing trouble on purpose? Let him suppress the mutiny, but be careful to suppress you and me first."
In fact, if Liu Yefei had enough courage to go out despite the threat of being kidnapped, it would still be possible to control the riot. After all, he had also carefully won over some generals during this period. As long as he could have a capable army to give him
If what he uses can gain the trust of some generals, the situation can be controlled.
However, Liu Yifei vented all his resentment on Lin Fu and did not have the courage to go out and control the rebels. Thinking of the consequences, Liu Yefei, who was usually quite assertive, became completely confused.
It is an indisputable fact that the Qingzhou Army, which had only been protected by bandits for a month after a large-scale recruitment and surrender, was extremely chaotic and unstable, and it was difficult for Liu Yefei to effectively control it. Regardless of whether Lin Fu was behind it or not, the Qingzhou Army in Shouguang was in chaos, and Liu Yefei was
Having lost the capital to challenge Tang Haoxin and Lin Fu, Chen Debiao naturally knew which side he should take at this time. He did not provoke Liu Yefei at this time. The most important thing at the moment was to suppress the mutiny of the Qingzhou Army.
Chen Debiao made an excuse to arrange the defense of the county government compound to prevent the insurgents from rushing in. He walked to a corner where Liu Yefei could not see him, pulled over an agile confidant, gave him the admiral's talisman, and ordered: "Go to the north of the city and bring him the talisman."
I gave my letter to Lin Fu, the commander-in-chief of the Jiangdong Left Army, and asked him to use it conveniently to suppress the mutiny of the Qingzhou Army!"
In the east post house of the city, Tang Haoxin climbed up the wall by a ladder and watched the chaos in the city. Without saying a word, he got off the wall and only asked the armored soldiers sent by Lin Fu to protect him to guard the courtyard and ignore what was going on outside.
Since Lin Fu has taken control of the North City Gate Tower, the situation will not deteriorate to any extent, and he will not take the safety of Shouguang Town to heart.
Tang Haoxin returned to the house and suddenly had the idea of writing big calligraphy. He said to the boy who had been with him for five or six years: "Bring out the inkstone, I can write a good calligraphy today..." But he couldn't bear it.
Zhu proudly murmured to himself, "It's okay if it's a mess, it's okay if it's a mess. Only when it's a mess is it possible to cut through the mess quickly." ,!
