Chapter 19 The Troubled War

(First update, please give me a red ticket)

Lin Fu got the letter from Shandong Admiral Chen Debiao's confidants who went through the house and house. He didn't know whether to be happy or sad.. What was happy was that with Chen Debiao's authorization, the Jiangdong Left Army was in Qingzhou and even in Shandong County.

There will be no sequelae of using soldiers internally; sadly, Chen Debiao, Liu Yefei and others did not think about controlling the situation from deteriorating.

Although the Qingzhou Army mutinied, it has not yet broken out into chaos. Liu Yefei's intervention may still be able to stop the situation from deteriorating further. This not only means that ordinary soldiers of the Qingzhou Army can reduce casualties, but also means that the civilians in Shouguang's urban and rural areas will suffer less losses.

As soon as the Jiangdong Left Army took action, the rumors of liquidation were completely confirmed. Lin Fu's explanation was of no use; naturally it caused an even more intense rebound from the Qingzhou Army. They may not dare to attack the Jiangdong Left Army in turn, but they would

The formation of broken troops and chaotic troops fled from the other three city gates to Shouguang, Changyi, Qingzhou, Linzi and other places, causing endless troubles.

"What should I do?" Du Juefu, the magistrate of Shouguang County, had not experienced the military campaigns of the Donglu invaders. At this time, the rebels blocked the streets in the city. Only by sending agile people to deliver messages across houses could they contact Chen Debiao and others. But at this time, with

It was useless to contact Chen Debiao and others. They were trapped in the county government and had no soldiers. They could only rely on Lin Fu and Jiangdong Zuojun to play the role of the sea-calming needle.

The only people who followed Lin Fu to Shouguang were 600 soldiers from the first battalion of the Jiangdong Zuo Army. Seeing that the Qingzhou Army in the city was in chaos, with more than 4,000 people, Du Juefu always felt that the few soldiers Lin Fu had were not enough.

Yong, seeing Lin Fu's face sinking like water, didn't know what he was thinking, nor how confident he was, so he felt very uneasy.

Sun Wenwan also did not expect that the Jiangdong Left Army's entry into Shouguang City would directly prompt the Qingzhou Army in the city to mutiny. The Qingzhou Army was mainly formed by recruiting surrendered troops and had extremely poor military discipline. However, as soon as the Jiangdong Left Army entered the city, it inexplicably mutinied and broke into chaos.

Lin Fu could vaguely guess something: causing the Qingzhou Army to mutiny would at least completely defeat Liu Yefei. Neither Zhang Xie nor Yue Lengqiu could take the blame for the Qingzhou Army's mutiny for Liu Yefei.

A heavy blow, but the consequences to the local area are also very terrible. Thousands of defeated soldiers will be difficult to deal with.

Now is not the time to think about this. Since Chen Debiao, Liu Yefei and others have given up their efforts to control the deterioration of the situation, Lin Fu cannot be so irresponsible.

"You draft a military order for me," Lin Fu ordered Lin Mengde beside him, "follow Zhou Pu and Zhou Tong led the second battalion. After receiving the order, the third battalion immediately changed its direction and penetrated to the south of Shouguang, doing everything possible to block Shouguang to Qingzhou.

In the passage between them, do not allow the broken troops to flee south, and monitor Qingzhou City. If there is any abnormality in the city, you should not hesitate to make an siege posture to prevent the situation in Qingzhou from deteriorating further... Zhao Qingshan leads the fifth battalion to attack the Qingzhou Army at Yingkou

, forming a confrontation situation, and no active attack is allowed before receiving further orders!"

The Qingzhou Army is currently divided into three groups. In addition to the more than 4,000 troops here, there are still more than 3,000 troops in Qingzhou City, and there are still more than 3,000 troops in Yingkou Town, thirty miles north of Shouguang City. At the moment, it is only the Qingzhou Army here that mutinied, and the situation is

It is also difficult to control. Lin Fu must work hard to prevent big chaos in Qingzhou and Yingkou. If rumors of liquidation only spread in the city, Qingzhou and Yingkou can maintain stability for at least a period of time. Now it is necessary to remove Chen Debiao and others from the county government as soon as possible.

After they came out, only Chen Debiao and others could control the situation in Qingzhou and Yingkou with indomitable force. No one else could.

After waiting for the order to be sent out of the city, Lin Fu called Ao Canghai, who was squatting there and studying the terrain with the generals, and said, "Tang Shaobao can still hold out for a while. Let's defeat Feng first."

To block the rebels from the county government, I will only leave reserve troops from the two capitals here. When you attack, be careful not to scatter your troops. If the rebels don't surrender, just drive them out of the city. It will be dark before you see it. This night is beneficial to everyone.

There are disadvantages..."

After all the instructions were given, Shouguang County officials such as Lin Fu, Lin Mengde, Sun Wenbing, Sun Wenwan and Du Juefu retreated to the tower of the North City Gate.

Although the Qingzhou Army rebelled and was in chaos, it was not without command and control. Although it was not under Liu Yefei's control, Liu Yefei recruited and surrendered several powerful rout troops. After they were recruited and surrendered, they also formed the main factions within the Qingzhou Army.

Their leader naturally also served as the main general of Qingzhou.

Jiangdong Zuojun had just entered the city with more than 600 people. The mutinous Qingzhou Army generals were unwilling to escape from the city. They gathered together to discuss whether to expel Jiangdong Zuojun from the city or eliminate it directly. They would capture Shouguang City first and then contact them.

The people and horses in Yingkou and Qingzhou can work together. In this way, a middle force can be formed to block the east and west wings of Shandong, and then seize the Shandong Peninsula. If you retreat, you can defend Yishan and Taishan. It is better to be the emperor yourself or to be the king in the mountains. It is better than worrying about suffering all day long.

Liquidation is strong.

During the short period of time when the First Battalion of the Jiangdong Left Army defended the North City, the city became increasingly chaotic, with shops and mansions being smashed and looted, and some rebels began to set fire to the city, burning the twilight night brightly.

It was daytime, but the generals of the mutinous Qingzhou Army organized thousands of people in front of the Jiangdong Left Army, preparing to attack the Jiangdong Left Army that had entered the city.

Du Juefu's hands were sweating. He was standing at the north city gate and saw a group of rebels smashing down the door of his Du family's house. He didn't know how long he could hold on. There were too many rebels and the Jiangdong Left Army only had five or six hundred people.

, it really doesn’t make people feel too confident, but Lin Fu and the people around him are very calm, which makes him feel better.

Lin Fu had nothing to worry about defeating the rebels in the city. Without effective organization, no matter how many people there were, it would only increase the chaos of the scene. Don't look at the mutinous Qingzhou Army generals who could organize thousands of people, but as long as these people

Once a group of people are defeated, the rebels in the city will no longer pose any threat.

Lin Fu could see that the generals of the mutinous Qingzhou Army were eager to control Shouguang City and to drive them out of the city. After all, the senior generals of the Qingzhou Army knew that almost 2,500 to 600 elite Jiangdong Left Army troops were in Shandong, and the nearest cavalry camp was far away.

It's only more than thirty miles away. If the Jiangdong Left Army cavalry rushes to help here, and they can't control the whole city in time to defend it, they will have no chance to occupy Shouguang.

Ao Canghai also saw this, so he ordered the front ranks of armored soldiers to pull back a little to lure the rebels to attack. Here, they only used the cover of high shields to fight back with bows and crossbows, retreating to less than fifty steps from the north gate, and even

Some of the armored soldiers retreated into the city gate, and Ao Canghai ordered a counterattack.

Remove the covering high shield, with the spearmen and swordsmen as the core, and the spearmen on their sides. The card-bearers and crossbowmen use single-sword tiger shields to cover the two wings. The spearmen, which are more than ten feet long, sweep at the current enemy.

The bamboo shoots are very dense and spread out like an umbrella. The enemy's swords are constantly cutting them, and the spears and spears are not as long as they are, so they are easy to get entangled. If the enemy wants to attack close by, they will be killed by the sharp chops of Mo Dao, or with long stabbing spears.

After disrupting the defensive formation of the rebels, Mo Daoshou relied on his armor to rush forward and kill them. Then his spears and spears attacked, and his swords and shields followed closely to cover him. It was very smooth to kill the current enemy.

The narrow streets and alleys were not conducive to the formation of infantry formations, so the new formation rule of five soldiers showed great advantages. At first, the scale of the capital attack was maintained. After testing and finding that the pressure on the rebels was not great, they directly advanced and cut off the rebels with the flag team of fifteen soldiers.

.

The hidden troops in the houses on both sides also rushed out together, and even the crossbowmen climbed up the wall to fire in support. Du Juefu and Lin Fu stood at the top of the city and watched the mutinous Qingzhou soldiers go from attacking to being overwhelmed by the counterattack.

It took about a stick of incense, and the Jiangdong Left Army had almost no casualties. After that, these rebels only hated their parents for giving them two legs. Apart from escaping for their lives, they did not think of organizing to resist.

The offensive of the Jiangdong Left Army.

Seeing helplessly the rebels crumbled under the offensive of the Jiangdong Left Army, crying for their fathers and mothers, without any resistance at all. Who dares to say that King Lin Fuqin's four battles and four victories and his meritorious service that is enough to be crowned a knight are a fluke? Who can blame Lin Fuqin?

If he had the guts to enter Shouguang City with five or six hundred people as guards, he was not afraid of what Liu Yefei would do to him if he had four thousand Qingzhou troops!

No wonder Zhang Jinxian and Cheng Weiyuan of Yangxin admired Lin Fu so much. They really couldn't imagine how majestic the battle of Yangxin was. Du Juefu thought to himself that at this time, he had seen that the enemy soldiers besieging his house had been defeated and relaxed.

After taking a breath, I found my mind to think about other things.

Lin Fu then ordered Ao Canghai to immediately send people to escort Chen Debiao, Liu Yefei, Ge Zufang and others who were trapped in the county government office to the north city gate tower, and then drive away the rebels in the east city to help Tang Haoxin escape.

Chen Debiao, Liu Yefei, Ge Zufang and other dozens of Shandong county officials came to the north city gate tower with more than 200 escorts. By this time, the Jiangdong Left Army had already controlled the situation in the city.

After all, Shouguang City is too small. The east-west, north-south main streets are no more than 400 paces long. Since the mutiny did not last long, most of the houses in the city were not breached by the rebels. When the Qingzhou Army, which numbered more than a thousand mutinists in the north city, was defeated, more

The rebel soldiers were focused on escaping from the city, making it possible for the Jiangdong Left Army to control the entire city in a short period of time.

Chen Debiao and others went up to the gate tower for a while, and Tang Haoxin also came to join them under the escort of soldiers. At this time, he no longer had a good look on Chen Debiao, Liu Yefei, Ge Zufang and others. He twirled his white beard and shouted: "This chaos

It depends on how your Shandong County Sheriff explains it to the court! How are you going to clean up the current mess?"

"It all depends on Tang Shaobao!" Chen Debiao is a bachelor. He has already given the letter to Lin Fu to authorize him to use troops against Qingzhou. At this time, Liu Yefei can be further hurt.

Tang Haoxin is the second-grade prince Shaobao, and his rank is higher than those of them, the chief officials of Shandong counties. In critical moments, he can exercise power to control local military and political affairs--of course, this also requires the cooperation of local officials.

"It's all...all...it all depends on...Tang Shaobao...makes the decision." Ge Zufang couldn't help but shudder as he spoke. When they came over, several rebels were hiding in a private house and wanted to kidnap them out of the city. Although the rebels were killed on the spot.

, but Ge Zufang was frightened again and has not recovered yet.

Liu Yefei's face looked mournful, he didn't speak, and he had no room to speak.

The Qingzhou Army mutinied, and the guards around Liu Yefei, his personal entourage, and the two officials who accompanied him to Shouguang from the Shandong Procuratorate were also detained under the pretext of being suspected of being accomplices of the rebels. This was an order issued by Chen Debiao. Now that a mutiny has occurred

, everything was naturally based on the opinion of Admiral Chen Debiao. Before the court made further conclusions, even if Liu Yefei was not immediately imprisoned by his subordinates, he was completely isolated.

After Chen Debiao and Ge Zufang expressed their opinions, Tang Haoxin was no longer polite. He asked Lin Fu about his military deployment and discussed with Lin Fu: "Can the Jiangdong Left Army lend a battalion to Mr. Chen to stabilize the situation in Qingzhou?"

…”

Everyone knows that chaos is not allowed in Qingzhou. Once Qingzhou is in chaos, the situation will be difficult to deal with, not to mention that Sun Jingxuan, Sun Jingtang, Sun Wenyao and other chief criminals of the Changyi mutiny are still imprisoned in Qingzhou Prison.

Lin Fu said: "Outside Qingzhou City, the Jiangdong Left Army has two battalions of soldiers that can be borrowed by the Admiral. My subordinate, Lin Mengde, will take my order and rush to Qingzhou with the Admiral..." Zhou Pu, Zhou Tong is here

Qingzhou may not be able to deal with an old official like Chen Debiao, so it would be better to let Lin Mengde follow him.

Tang Hao

It’s not impossible to protect..."

Liu Yefei's face was ashen. It was still unclear whether the three thousand Qingzhou soldiers in Yingkou were in chaos. Tang Haoxin insisted that they were three thousand rebel soldiers who were waiting to be appeased. Even if he was saved, where could he be saved? But Liu Yefei had no other choice, at least save him first.

As for his wealth and life, he said calmly: "It all depends on Tang Shaobao's orders..."

"Are you sure that three thousand Qingzhou will not change?" Tang Haoxin asked Lin Fu, "If you are not sure, the most important thing is to protect the left army in Jiangdong!"

"I will take 300 soldiers away," Lin Fu said. Being able to successfully pacify the 3,000 Qingzhou troops in Yingkou is naturally a great blessing among misfortunes. Otherwise, if Shouguang adds another 3,000 soldiers, the situation will be even more difficult to deal with. They

The most urgent thing at the moment is to resolve the chaos in Shandong as soon as possible, restore the smooth flow of grain roads, and "leave three hundred soldiers in Shouguang as a precaution."

Tang Hao

, using both land and water, to do everything possible to transport the grain gathered in Jimo to Changyi and board the ship. He also transferred Zhang Jinxian, the magistrate of Yangxin County, to temporarily act as the general magistrate of Qingzhou Prefecture to assist Mr. Liu in handling Qingzhou Prefecture affairs... Those who have been taken to Qingzhou for guarding

The chief criminal of the mutiny in Changyi is temporarily imprisoned in jail pending the court's decision. The accomplices detained in Changyi for minor crimes should be released immediately so that they can have the opportunity to make meritorious service and help in the rebellion. I hope you can come with me to Changyi---

-In the current situation, nothing should interfere with the urgent task of water transportation. I think you know it in your heart."

Ge Zufang also hoped to keep his official position, but no one was allowed to do so.

Lin Fu remained silent. Judging from the many deployments Tang Haoxin made in such a short period of time, he knew that Tang Haoxin was very confident about everything. This was fine. He had already committed a taboo by leading troops to invade Shandong. Since the overall situation was

If it is determined, there is no need to interfere in Shandong's political affairs anymore. ,!
