Chapter 124 The World is a Huge Makeshift Team
Liu Qing stood in the octagonal pavilion, looking at the sky in a daze. In her hand was the letter from home sent by Ou Zanghua.
Although in the letter home she was comforted that everything was going well and that she was appreciated by her superiors, so she didn't have to worry.
But Liu Qing still couldn't help but worry. Since getting married, she had never been separated from her husband for so long.
At this time, Qu Feiyan came over, looked at Liu Qing and said, "Sister Qingqing, today we should sort out the opera that the young master wrote."
"Okay!" Liu Qing came back to his senses, smiled and nodded.
At the same time, Ou Zanghua rode on a horse, holding a document in his hand, and led his soldiers to Raozhou Prefecture.
When Zuo Lengchan heard that the man to be beaten this time was named Wang Chenger, he was a little surprised and said, "Sir Ou, I have heard of this man."
"Hmm?" Ou Zanghua was startled and immediately said, "Uncle Zuo, please tell me in detail."
"Wang Chenger has a strong character, extraordinary arm strength, and is good at using a long sword. He once earned the nickname 'Night Dog' in the martial arts world." Zuo Lengchan said solemnly: "Ten years ago, he went to Songshan and had exchanges with Shaolin and Songshan."
Ou Zanghua nodded after hearing this. It was consistent with the information provided by the court.
In fact, Wang Cheng's second uprising was also related to Liu Jin. In the third year of Zhengde, Liu Jin's follower Pan Tai served as the county magistrate in Yugan.
This person is uneducated and extremely cold-hearted.
Yugan, Leping and other counties were experiencing successive years of drought, and in many places the fields had no harvest, but the government and wealthy households still insisted on collecting grain and taxes, causing chaos and misery for the people.
So, Wang Chenger waved his hand and declared rebellion!
He joined forces with like-minded friends including Yu Qianqi, Wang Haoba, Yin Yongshi, Wang Ruiqi, and Zhu Xuan, and launched an uprising at the border of Yugan and Leping.
Then something weird happened. The local security guard reported the hero's uprising to the government.
As a result, Pan Tai, this stupid teammate, chose to conceal the truth, did not dare to report it to his superiors, and even dared not send troops to suppress the rebels.
So Wang Chenger took this opportunity to quickly develop his own team, and villagers from all over the country rushed to join.
If it were just this, Ou Zanghua would only think that a bad teammate like Pan Tai deserved to be beaten, but Wang Chenger's subsequent actions surprised him.
At that time, there was a farmhand named Hu Tai who, unable to bear the oppression of the landlord, resolutely joined the rebel army.
After the landlord found out, he secretly sent people to ambush on the mountain road where the rebels passed. When Hu Tai passed by, he was captured and brutally killed.
After Wang Chenger and Yu Qianqi learned the news, they decided to avenge their brother Hu Tai and take the opportunity to expand the influence of the rebel army.
So, the two men led the rebel army to Yejia Village in Guixi and burned and killed all the landlords.
As he expected, the power of the rebel army spread far and wide.
After tasting the sweetness, Wang Chenger killed corrupt officials, punished the powerful, broke into prisons and released prisoners, robbed the rich and gave to the poor in Yugan, Leping, Poyang, Guixi, Anren, Yiyang, Wuyuan and other places. The people from all over the country applauded and felt proud. They came to join the rebel army. In just a few months, the team expanded to 10,000 people.
Then the stupid teammates did something weird again. After several counties failed to organize constables and civilians to suppress the bandits, Wu Yikuan, then deputy envoy of Jiangxi Province, sent centurion Zheng Jian to Gufu to suppress the rebels. As a result, they were defeated and Zheng Jian was killed by the rebels.
Seeing that victory could not be achieved by force, Wu Yikuan came up with a plan. He ordered Chen Ying, a gentleman from Yugan, to lure the rebels into surrendering with huge profits and official titles, under the pretext of appeasing them.
For the rebels, being appeased by the imperial court was a good choice. After all, no one really wanted to fight to the death with the imperial court at that time.
As a result, more than 300 people could not resist Chen Ying's sweet talk and chose to surrender. Then these 300 people were sent to the Nei Si and all of them were beheaded. No one was spared.
When Ou Zanghua saw this, he was stunned.
How can this be done?!
No, Wu Yi Guan was a good official known for his integrity and honesty. He shouldn't have done such a stupid thing!
I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out at all.
The result of this was naturally to anger the rebels, make them more united, and no longer trust the court.
Later, the government troops launched several expeditions, but were defeated every time, which shocked the imperial court.
So they waited for the arrival of Zuodu Yushi Chen Jin, who led the army to attack Yao Yuan's rebel army.
Chen Jin adopted the tactic of "advancing step by step and setting up visits at every level" to tightly blockade Yaoyuan and other places. He built walls everywhere in the villages near Yaoyuan and held their ground, causing the rebel army to run out of food and become exhausted, thus trapping them to death.
Leaders such as Wang Chenger and Wang Haoba relied on the support of the peasants and had sufficient supplies, so they could hold on for a short period of time.
This went on for nearly a year before the third teammate, Chen Gongce, the governor of Raozhou, emerged.
Seeing that the rebels were about to be trapped and died in Yaoyuan County, Chen Gongce somehow got it wrong and ran to Zhaoan Wang Chenger.
Wang Chenger, who was almost out of ammunition and food, was shocked to see this good thing.
He immediately discussed with his brothers and pretended to accept the amnesty, then disbanded the rebel army and let everyone leave Yaoyuan County to eat and drink outside to replenish their energy.
So, in May, they accepted the imperial edict and disbanded the troops, but then regrouped them in August.
The government was in chaos. This time, the Jiangxi Provincial Government Councillor Dong Gongpu led a team to engage in several battles with the rebels. Overall, the court still had the upper hand.
This situation continued until the end of the fifth year of Zhengde, when Chen Jin finally found time to deal with the rebel army.
He took advantage of Dong Gongpu's victory and dispatched a large number of government troops. He also ordered the magistrates of the five counties of Po, Yu, Gui, Le and An to lead their troops to jointly suppress Wang Chenger. The number of government troops reached as many as 130,000.
Seeing the court's attitude, Wang Chenger seemed frightened, so he personally came to the government army's gate with a white flag and asked for surrender.
Chen Jin thought that the rebel army had suffered a series of defeats recently, and that the leader's request for surrender must be a trick, so he ordered the gate to be opened wide to welcome the surrendering leader.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the gate was opened, a cannon sounded. Relying on their familiarity with the terrain, the rebels rushed in from all directions, bravely taking the lead and defeating the government troops.
In this battle, the rebels killed 59 civil and military officials, more than 70 Dianshi, and more than 13,200 local soldiers, machine gunners, doormen, cooks, middle commanders, bank presidents, etc. All the baggage and equipment that Chen Jin had painstakingly managed and purchased at great expense were seized by the rebels.
Ou Zanghua put down the document and couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows. At this moment, he felt that Xun Ge was right. The world was just a huge makeshift team!
Originally there was no copy here, so Pantai came and created one.
It was originally just a B-level copy, and one could clear it if one worked hard enough. Wu Yikuan directly upgraded it to S-level.
S-level is S-level!
Chen Jin slowly grinded and was about to pass the level, so Chen Gongce filled up the BOSS's health.
Dong Gongpu was a professional substitute and he wore down the BOSS until only a little blood was left.
Chen Jin immediately gave the BOSS a strengthening buff
Now throwing this S+ copy to him almost made Ou Zanghua laugh out of anger.
If any of you guys in the front make any mistakes, you won’t even get your turn to take on the BOSS!
