Chapter 51 Wuqiao mutiny

Now Kong Youde, the old general of Dongjiang, suddenly launched a mutiny. The old parts of the Dongjiang Army under his command are all brave people. Who hasn't seen blood at hand!

Now that they have rebelled, they will definitely sweep a large area in a short time. Dengzhou government must be the first to take the brunt, because a large number of old troops of the Dongjiang Army are mostly concentrated here. If Kong Youde wants to develop and grow, he will definitely come back here to recruit the old Dongjiang and those Liao people.

Muping County is not far from Dengzhou Prefecture, but it is more than 200 miles away. If the cavalry runs happily, they can reach the city of Mouping County in a day.

In case the state government can't stop this group of rebels, then the joke will be a big deal! The whole Dengzhou government is estimated to have no place to escape the disaster, so Ninghai Prefecture suddenly became in chaos. Even if Muping County closed the gate, it began to strengthen its vigilance and wait for the next news.

As for the townships and villages, after the news spread, they suddenly became nervous. This is the prelude to the chaos! Even if the rebels were destroyed by the governor of Denglai this time, they would definitely not be able to kill them all. The defeated soldiers will definitely run around. At that time, who dares to say that the rebels will not come to their side to make a fortune?

So all townships and villages also quickly strengthened their vigilance and expelled the hungry people gathered around them, for fear that they would be trapped by the gang and attack their villages at that time.

As soon as Liu Dihe learned the news, he also immediately ordered to strengthen the vigilance of Xishan Village and Yangma Island. Now the rear headquarters of the sea wolf has sent two platoons for Liu Di, with a full 100 troops. These people all appeared in Xishan Village as Liu Di's family. On the surface It is a group training village bravery organized by Xishan Village.

But the bright-eyed people can see that these people are definitely not ordinary villagers. These people are strong, powerful, and have a faint sense of killing between their manners. It can be sure that these people are actually from soldiers, and they are not ordinary soldiers. They are definitely some tough soldiers. .

During this period, Liu Di opened a porridge shed outside Xishan Village to serve porridge. This area gathered a lot of hungry people, including some ruffians and strong people with evil intentions. They found that there was a lot of food hoarded in Xishan Village and took out a lot of food to serve porridge every day, so some people wanted to gather people here to make trouble. Take the opportunity to make a profit.

More recently, Liu has acquired a large number of women. Many people think that there are many women hoarded in the village or in the surrounding area of Yangma Island. If they can break through this place, they will definitely have a great pleasure. While making a fortune, they can also play with many women.

So some people tried to gather here to make trouble, but soon they found that if they wanted to make trouble here, they were simply looking for death. Liu Di had a large group of tigers and wolves at hand. Several times, they had just provoked trouble by them. Before they had made a complete trouble, they immediately had a group of wolf-like family members from Zhuangzi. Inside, each rushed out with a long stick or a long gun, and a few people were equipped with a single knife.

Don't look at the number of these people, but as long as they find someone trying to provoke something, they will immediately rush over and bounce down. The leading provoking people often can't even walk down face to face, and they will be dragged into the village like these wolves and tigers. The next day, someone will find that these provocatives He died far away, and the death was quite horrible. Almost all the bones of his body were broken, like a ball of mud.

So many people tried to fool around here, but the result was very tragic. Soon this momentum was suppressed, so that many young people no longer dared to hit the idea of Xishan Village.

During this period, there was even a group of strong bandits of about 300 people who tried to rush to Xishan Village and rob them, but as soon as they killed outside Xishan Village, there was a string of fire on the wall of Xishan Village. As a result, even if these 300 strong people were overturned, then 120 or 200 regiments of Xishan Village added a few Ten families immediately rushed out of the village and separated the hungry people gathered outside the village from the gang of robbers.

I don't know where these villagers and familymen got a large number of long guns and formed a square array. One pushed them flat. More than 300 bandits, even if they were beaten by the group of Xishan Village like snow, they were killed by more than 100 people, and the rest were expelled and dozens of bandits were arrested. Thief.

The next day, Liu Dashanren from Xishan Village sent people to send these dozens of bandits to the government of Muping County, Ninghai Prefecture, and was also highly praised by the lord of Zhizhou, calling Liu Dashan as a model of Ninghaizhou royal thief.

So for a while, they really suppressed the surrounding guys who tried to have bad intentions towards Xishan Village, so that they dared not coveted Xishan Village in a short time.

But now Kong Youde suddenly launched a mutiny and led his troops all the way from Cangzhou to fight back to Dengzhou Prefecture, which made LiuDi also nervous.

Although he currently has the strength, it is not a big problem to deal with thousands of thieves, at least it is not a big problem to guard the earthen of Xishan Village and Yangma Island.

However, once Kong Youde's turbulent army develops, the whole land of Denglai will be in groups. At that time, tens of thousands of thieves will not be impossible.

So he quickly sent people to Shidao Bay to ask for help. He asked the brothers in Shidao Bay to send some reinforcements to strengthen the garrison on the side of Xishan Village.

After all, in the past few months, sea wolves have continuously transported a large amount of food to Xishan Village and Yangma Island. Once there is chaos in this area, the riot soldiers will definitely know the news here. Human life is the least valuable in troubled times, but food is much more valuable than human life, which will definitely cause a large number of chaos. Soldiers came here to attack Zhuangbao, trying to seize the grain stored here.

Therefore, LiuDi has a strong sense of crisis. After all, it is too close to Muping County. If the chaotic soldiers become a climate, they will definitely send troops to attack Muping County. At that time, they will lift their legs to Xishan Village. If there is no powerful force here, let alone collect refugees. I'm afraid I can't even protect myself.

The whole Shandong, with Kong Youde's mutiny, suddenly became as lively as an opening pot. The rebels led by Kong Youde grew very fast like a snowball.

He launched a mutiny in Cangzhou and raised the rebel flag, which was a matter of October, but in less than two months, the rebels led by Kong Youde, Li Jiucheng and others even defeated Linyi, Lingxian, Shanghe, Qingcheng and other counties, * a large amount of wealth. In addition, they also kidnapped many Liaodong people and the old part of Dongjiang, causing their rebellion. The military strength has developed from a scale of less than 1,000 at the beginning to more than 20,000.

According to the detailed information hidden in the Dengzhou Prefecture, the current attitude of Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, towards the mutiny of Kong Youde and others is very ambiguous.

Now, some of the officials in Shandong and Denglai are determined to suppress, but some want to be the master, and Sun Yuanhua's attitude is obviously inclined to be the master.

According to the investigation from the servants in Sun Yuanhua's mansion, Sun Yuanhua had some objections to the rebellion of Kong Youde and others. He believed that Kong Youde and others were basically forced to rebel. It is rumored that Kong Youde was ordered to lead troops out of the customs to help. They themselves have taken the waterway because of the wind and waves on the sea. It was a great loss, but Sun Yuanhua still asked him to lead his troops out of the customs by land.

These Liaodong soldiers themselves were already dissatisfied with Sun Yuanhua's decision this time, and they were all cavalry and did not carry grain stalks. Instead, they received some silver from Sun Yuanhua as food and salaries before they went out of the state, and had to buy grain supplies in the county where they passed along the way.

I'm afraid this matter is the cause of trouble. Liaodong soldiers have always been at peace with Shandong people. They learned that Kong Youde led the old part of the Dongjiang River through their county. Almost all counties along the way are very uncomfortable with them. They don't cooperate much about their purchase of grain and fodries. Some counties simply regard them as thieves. However, as soon as he heard that Kong Youde's department was crossing the border, he simply closed the door, closed the city gate, closed the market, and did not deal with Kong Youde's department at all.

Kong Youde's generals are not very obedient. Most of them came back from Dongjiang Town. Each of them can be said to be proud soldiers and tough. How can they stand such bird spirit? There are many complaints along the way.

Kong Youde has been extremely restrained, but there was no big mess along the way. At least he took the soldiers all the way to Cangzhou.

However, when they passed through Wuqiao, the county magistrate acquiesced in the closure of the county residents* and did not deal with Kong Youde's subordinates at all. Therefore, when Kong Youde's subordinates arrived here, the supply of military grain was cut off, and the officers and soldiers could only squeeze in a broken temple outside the city and starve.

At the same time, the weather was not beautiful, and it began to rain continuously, and it rained continuously for two or three days, making Kong Youde's subordinates all cold and hungry, and they were full of complaints.

During this period, there was also a soldier. It is said that he was still a small flag officer. I don't know where he grabbed a chicken and roasted it, but no one expected that he made a big basket this time.

No one expected that the chicken robbed by this soldier would make such a big basket, just because the chicken robbed by the soldier was actually a chicken of Wang Xiangchun's servant of Shandong Wangzu, or other ordinary people, but this servant ran to find his master Wang Xiangchun's son and cried. Wang Xiangchun's son Zi quit and thought that these Qiu Ba dared to provoke his Wang family, so he came to the door.

Kong Youde was also quite tolerant. He ordered to catch the person who caused the accident and sentenced him to a heavy sentence through the arrow camp, but the soldier who was pierced through the arrow camp had a grudge and ran to kill Wang Xiangchun's servant in the evening.
