Although the mutiny of the Qingzhou soldiers did not lead to a major chaos, four to five thousand rebels eventually broke up and fled into the countryside, causing trouble for the local area. Lin Fu led his army from Yingkou to Changyi, and then led his army southward along the Jiaolai River. Many villages along the way were attacked by the rebels.
Loot.
The scattered soldiers broke up and became rogue bandits. When these rogue bandits saw the officers and soldiers coming to suppress them, they ran away faster than rabbits. Without a complete suppression strategy and sufficient troops to carry out encirclement and suppression, it was difficult to completely eliminate the scourge.
These are all local responsibilities. Lin Fu is pragmatic and will not casually shoulder these responsibilities on the Jiangdong Left Army.
What Lin Fu has to do right now, in addition to coordinating with Tang Haoxin to stabilize the situation in Qingzhou, Changyi, and Shouguang, is to expel the rebels and bandits along the Jiaolai River. The Jiaolai River is the most urgent channel that all parties need to protect at the moment.
In fact, this burden was not light. The Jiao Lai River was sandwiched between Yishan Mountain and Kunyu Mountain, making it easy for the rebels to attack and hide. Lin Fu had too few troops at his disposal. It was not until the end of March that Lin Fu led the Jiangdong Left Army.
The main force gathered together and entered the southern border of Changyi County, focusing on clearing out the bandit villages in Yishan and Kunyu Mountains on both sides of the Jiaolai River that could directly threaten the safety of the Jiaolai River's water transportation.
Since a large number of water vessels do not have the conditions to detour from the eastern end of the Shandong Peninsula, ensuring the smooth flow of the Jiaolai River is currently an expedient strategy to maintain uninterrupted water transportation.
On March 28, Xu Jianshen, the right deputy censor of the capital, left the capital with an order and arrived in Qingzhou to interrogate the Changyi He Gang and the Shouguang Qingzhou soldiers' mutiny. He also served as the inspector of Shandong County.
The Imperial Examination Yuan has the left and right censors, the second rank, with a slightly higher status than the six ministers; the left and right deputy censors, the third rank; the left and right censors of the capital, the fourth rank. Usually the fourth rank, the censor of the capital, is the head of the county.
Official titles are added, for example, Gu Wuchen is appointed as the inspector of Jiangdong County and is given the title of Youdu Censor, and deputy capital censor is the title given to local officials at the governor level. For example, Yue Lengqiu and Li Zhuo are both given the title of Youdu Censor.
title.
Xu Jianshen held the title of right deputy censor of the capital and also served as the inspector-general of Shandong. His rank was directly above Shandong's Xuanfu envoy Ge Zufang and Shandong's admiral Chen Debiao. In addition to facilitating the review of the two major mutinies in Changyi and Shouguang, Xu Jianshen's intention was to limit Tang Haoxin's power in Shandong.
It's also obvious.
One day after Xu Jianshen arrived in Qingzhou, Xiao Xuanchou, the prosecutor of Jiangdong County, also arrived in Qingzhou to represent Jiangdong County in the joint trial of the Changyi mutiny case.
After the mutiny in Changyi, a total of more than 4,000 members of the He Gang were captured. After Liu Yefei was implicated in the mutiny by the Qingzhou Army and suppressed, most of the He Gang members had been released and either stayed in Changyi or returned south along the Jiao Lai River. However, Sun Jingxuan,
Sun Wenhui and more than 400 people were detained in the Qingzhou Prefecture Prison as the chief criminals in the Changyi Mutiny Case.
Liu Yefei initially characterized the Changyi Mutiny case as a premeditated rebellion and brought nearly 80% of the more than 400 key criminals in the Changyi Mutiny case to Qingzhou for strict supervision. They were descendants of the Xihe Hui. Zhang, Yue, Liu Yefei and others used the Changyi Mutiny to attack the Xihe Hui, which was close to the Jiangdong Left Army.
The intentions of the forces are clearly revealed.
Lin Fu had not yet had time to enter Qingzhou City, but Sun Wenbing and Sun Wenwan both met with Sun Jingxuan and Sun Wenyao who were imprisoned in Qingzhou Mansion Prison. Sun Wenyao was lame in one leg, and Sun Jingxuan was also severely tortured, but his life was still intact. At this time,
I will be under special care by Duyan Medical, so I won’t suffer any more torture.
Lin Fu did not go to Qingzhou to participate in the trial of the Changyi Mutiny Case. He let them deal with many things and waited for those in Qingzhou to make preliminary conclusions before talking about the next step.
In fact, it is difficult for Xihehui to be clean.
It is true that the mutiny in Changyi resulted in the death and injury of more than a dozen grain supervisors and transporters. Moreover, Liu Yefei had so deliberately targeted the Xihe Society before and collected a lot of evidence that the Xihe Society secretly hid weapons and set up big and small bosses.
The world is in chaos, with bandits running rampant in rivers and lakes, and river gangs running canals. How can they not prepare their own armed guards? How can the Xihe Society effectively manage the two thousand members without leaders, big and small? If these things are not exposed, everyone will turn a blind eye.
I close one eye and treat it as normal, but once these things are revealed, they are still somewhat unclear.
Tarburg Mountain belongs to Changyi County in terms of regional division, but geographically it is closer to Gaomi County in the south. The Changyi Mutiny is just to the north of Kanjia Town at the foot of Tarburg Mountain, and it is only sixty or seventy miles away from Jiaozhou Bay.
road.
Lin Fu looked at the river beach in the north of Kanjia Town. The wind was blowing and the armor on his body was making noise.
After Liu Yefei suppressed the mutiny in Changyi, he left a battalion of the Qingzhou Army stationed in Kanjiazhai. Although after stabilizing the situation in Qingzhou, Zhou Pu led the cavalry battalion directly into Kanjiazhai with the intention of disarming this battalion of Qingzhou Army. However, the news of the Qingzhou Army's mutiny first arrived.
The news spread quickly. The Qingzhou Army stationed here looted Kanjia Town before Zhou Pu arrived with his cavalry battalion. They also set fire to hundreds of grain-carrying cannons that were blocked on the riverbank of Kanjia Town, and then occupied Tarbao Mountain.
A stronghold resisted.
Lin Fu led two battalions of armored soldiers to join Zhou Pu's cavalry, and then they exterminated the group of rebels occupying Tarbao Mountain. However, the loss of hundreds of canal boats and tens of thousands of grains of canal grain was irreparable, and the Kanjia Town area was also destroyed.
lost heavily.
Sun Wenbing was wearing armor and clumsily climbed onto a boat that didn't look too badly damaged. The side of the boat was painted with the logo of the Xihe Society. The roof of the cabin had been burned. He reached into the cabin and grabbed a handful.
The millet in my hand was burnt black, soaked in water, and turned into a sticky mess that could no longer be eaten.
The disciples of the Xihe Hui who were released from Changyi and followed Sun Wenbing all the way south also climbed onto the burnt canal. They were filled with grief, anger and heartache. The disciples of the He Gang relied on boats to earn a living. When the boats were gone, their lives were ruined.
Lin Fu sighed and said to Zhang Jinxian beside him: "Let's stay here temporarily. The water will rise. There is no big problem in the river from Kanjiazhai to Jiaozhou Bay using hundreds of stone boats. The northern part of Changyi County
There won’t be much of a problem with the river course. The key is to solve the problem of water transportation in the 50-mile river course from Kanjiazhai to Changyi County.”
At this time, the scout came back and reported: "Sun Jingtang led more than 400 members of the Xihe Society to rest ten miles away and will come to meet up later..."
Lin Fu waved to Sun Wenbing and said, "Let's go meet your father!"
"How can this be allowed?" Sun Wenbing refused in fear, "My father has not been cleared of his crimes yet, so he will use this as an excuse for villains."
"Why does he care so much? As long as I know Xihe will be unjust," Lin Fu said, and then said to Zhang Jinxian, "Please wait here for a moment, Mr. Zhang..."
"I'll also go with you to stretch my hands and feet." Zhang Jinxian smiled.
Right and wrong, Zhang Jinxian knew clearly in his heart that the situation of party struggle between North Korea and China was severe, even to the point where there was no party, no faction, no faction. He had to choose a party to join him, and he would only end up with Lin Fu and the Jiangdong Left Army.
Jiangdong Zuojun's great achievement of winning four battles and achieving King Qin's first contribution may be a dazzling light to others, but to Yangxin officials and people, the experience is deep in their bones. At least Zhang Jinxian has never encountered it in his life.
There has never been anyone more trustworthy and reliable than Lin Fu. Previously, he was limited to his duties and had to stay in Yangxin; now he has the opportunity to work with Lin Fu. Although the situation in front of him is very difficult, his mind is excited.
Lin Fu smiled and invited Zhang Jinxian to walk side by side with him to meet the Xihe congregation led by Sun Jingxuan who was heading north to meet.
For this canal transport, the Xihe Society used a total of more than 1,800 members.
After entering Jiaozhou Bay, in order to cooperate with the government in transporting grain through the Jiaolai River to Laizhou Bay on the north shore, Sun Jingxuan asked Sun Jingtang to lead nearly 400 people to stay in Jimo to guard more than 100 medium and large-sized cannon ships that were inconvenient to enter Jiaolai.
The Xihe Club has more than 220 water boats with a capacity of about 100 stones and 1,400 members heading north, accounting for about one-third of the total number of water boats and the total number of river gang members heading north.
This was also the main excuse for Liu Yefei to identify the Sun family and the Xihe Society as the masterminds of the Changyi rebellion.
Originally, according to the allocation ratio of the Zhuhe Gang, the Xihe Association only needed to send less than one-fifth of the water boats and members. Sun Jingxuan wanted to be more diligent and active. After all, the Lin family was secretly in charge of the Tianjin-Hai water transport, so there was no need for it.
The thought of it turned out to be unfounded evidence that Liu Yefei had evil intentions and had ulterior motives.
After the boat sailed to Kanjia Town, the river beach was blocked, and about half of the more than 70 members of the He Gang who were innocently arrested and beheaded for questioning were descendants of the Xihe Club. After the Changyi mutiny, more than 1,400 members of the He Gang who traveled north to Kanjia Town
Except for a few of the Xihe Hui disciples who escaped, most of them were captured. More than 400 members of the Xihe Hui who stayed behind in Jimo led by Sun Jingtang were also arrested by the local government. Some of the canals and grain left in Jiaozhou Bay were also detained by the local government.
When Lin Fu marched into Shandong with his troops, Sun Jingxuan and other Xihe congregation members who were imprisoned in Jimo had not had time to be transferred to Qingzhou for trial, so the persecution they suffered was not serious.
However, among the more than 400 chief criminals who were transferred to Qingzhou, nearly 300 were Sun Jingxuan, Sun Wenyao and the leaders of the Xihe Gang. The other 21 river gangs combined only had 121 people designated as the suspects in the Changyi Mutiny Case.
First offender.
Nearly 4,000 members of the He Gang who were detained in Changyi County were released, including about 1,100 ordinary members of the Xihe Club.
The other members of the He Gang stayed in Changyi, waiting for the matter to be resolved, and then were sent back in batches or taken back by each river gang. Sun Wenbing directly took more than a thousand of the Xihe Hui disciples and followed Lin Fu south to Kanjia Town.
Sun Jingxuan and more than 400 members of Xihehui who were captured in Jimo were also released after the Qingzhou Army mutinied and was suppressed. Lin Fu led his army south from Changyi and sent someone to notify Sun Jingtang, asking him to lead the more than 400 people who stayed in Jimo.
The congregation came to Kanjia Town to meet.
Until the case is settled, the Xihe Society's ships and grain in Jiaozhou Bay will be detained by the local government.
Sun Jingtang and others were imprisoned in Jimo County for more than ten days, and suffered a lot. Many of their personal belongings were searched and taken away by the jailers, and many people's clothes were stripped off. Although they were released,
, but the ships were impounded by the local government, and the people sent by Lin Fu to meet them were in a hurry and unprepared. Sun Jingxuan and others came northward, dressed in rags, like an army of beggars, many of them were staggering and covered with injuries.
Sun Jingtang took a break ten miles away, hoping that when he saw Lin Fu, everyone's mental outlook would look better, but it really couldn't look much better.
Sun Jingtang himself was leaning on a tree branch and walking with a limp. Lin Fu sent a support team to bring a small number of horses, but they were all left to the more seriously injured members of the congregation to ride.
Sun Wenbing was also a man who didn't shed tears easily. Seeing his father in such a state, he couldn't help but burst into tears. He walked over and kowtowed to Sun Jingtang: "My father is so incompetent that my son has suffered..." Sun Wenwan also burst into tears and kowtowed to her uncle.
Say hello.
"What are you talking about?" Sun Jingtang stabbed his son with a tree branch. Now was not the time to talk about family affairs. He limped to Lin Fu, fell to his knees on the ground, and ignored Zhang Jinxian and other officials.
He kowtowed and said, "Sun Jingtang has nothing to repay your kindness. The Xihe Society has been in disarray and no longer exists. The Sun family has only a few sinners. From then on, they have worked as cattle and horses for you to repay your great kindness."
Virtue!"
"What is this! Jingzhong, Wen Bing, I are all brothers, how can I accept this gift from you?" Lin Fu knelt down and hugged Sun Jingtang's arm, and lifted Sun Jingtang up from the ground. That's all.
, would he be so stupid as to extrapolate the Sun family and the Xihe sect at this time? In terms of seniority, he really cannot accept such a great courtesy from Sun Jingtang. Only if he is openly self-reliant can he talk about such respect and inferiority. ,!
