Chapter 204
Bandits are like a comb, soldiers are like a grate, and officials are like a shave.

If these twelve-character mantras are used in Southern Jiangxi, they can explain why Liu Wu rebelled. This has nothing to do with the anti-Qing sentiment in Southern Jiangxi.

As long as ordinary people can survive, who will risk beheading to rebel?
As for the southern Jiangxi side, Liu Wujun lost control as soon as they reached Shangyou County.Not only did they burn, kill and loot, but after looting the county town, the people in the county town were also coerced into joining the gang.

Those who disobey will be killed.

That's what I said, it's as easy as combing it.

However, even so, as Liu Wujun took the lead in the uprising, the entire area from Nan'an Prefecture to Ganzhou in the west was in chaos.

Various rioters, big and small, came out. Among them were the natives of Nangan (locals) who were forced by the government to rebel. Even the Hakka people who were hiding in the ravines and gathered to resist taxes also came out to join in the fun.

Although the various rebel armies have different ideas and do not belong to each other, the chaos in southern Jiangxi alone is enough to make the local officials very anxious.

Xiao Yizong, the prefect of Nan'an, was shocked to hear that something had happened. The entire county was looted, and every wealthy official was killed.

This news not only frightened Xiao Yizong, but also made the common people and wealthy households in the city feel the same hatred.Just like when the Ming army defended Chizhou City, the wealthy households provided money and food, while the common people provided people and efforts.

Xiao Yizong even dared to go to the top of the city in person to boost morale.Everyone knows what will happen if they don't resist. These rebels are, no, they are simply bandits and lunatics.

The rebels soon gathered and attacked Nan'an Fucheng. Liu Wu, who took the lead in the uprising and made a huge noise, was directly promoted as the leader by the rebels.

In just a few days, Liu Wu's ambitions completely expanded from a mediocre man struggling to survive to the leader of a rebel army with tens of thousands of soldiers.

The army came to Nan'an City, and Liu Wu sent people to persuade him to surrender.

Xiao Yizong said nothing and only ordered the arrows to be fired.

Several arrows were shot down, and the rebel soldiers who were trying to persuade him to surrender were frightened away, and Liu Wu was also angered.

"Siege the city and tell the people below that as long as they enter the city, they can do whatever they want!"

After this order, the chaotic rebel army howled and screamed, their morale was high, and they also became more chaotic.

Tens of thousands of rebel troops attacked the city. The scene was scary, but they were protecting their families, and the prefect personally came to the front line to boost morale.

The young and strong people who defended the city resisted with great force, and there were even many servants from wealthy families who helped.

The rebels led by Liu Wu didn't understand what siege was at all, and all they fought after the uprising were smooth battles.Under such an unorganized siege that relied purely on strength of numbers, the rebels suffered heavy losses.

After all, Liu Wu was just a rebellious peasant. Seeing that the city could not be conquered for a long time and the rebels suffered heavy losses, they had to retreat in despair.

If he doesn't retreat, there will be opposition within the rebel army against him.

The rebel army went north along Zhangshui, preparing to turn around and attack Nankang County.

Then, Liu Wu's good luck came to an end, and Li Dengke, the commander-in-chief of Southern Jiangxi, sent troops.

It was impossible not to send troops. Liu Wujun seemed to be rebelling only in Nan'an Prefecture, but the capital of Ganzhou was right next to Nan'an Prefecture.

The distance between the two is too close, and there is a river connecting them.

Liu Wujun and Li Dengke collided in Nankang County. The rebel army, which had just bumped into Nan'an City, was caught off guard and almost collapsed at the first touch.

Tens of thousands of troops collapsed on the spot.

It has to be said that Liu Wu's first half of the script was very different from Lin Jun's original, and even started better.

But it is a pity that he is in southern Gansu, which is not only surrounded by the Ming army and Lin Jun on three sides, but even if he completely follows Lin Jun's old path, it is impossible to achieve anything.

Moreover, how could Nangan Town, which was established specifically to suppress the rebellions in Nangan, have no combat effectiveness at all?
However, Li Dengke thought very well. He came to Nan'an Mansion to quell the rebellion.But the problem is that his soldiers don't think so!
Just after Liu Wujun was defeated, Nangan Town under Li Dengke lost control.It can't be considered a loss of control, it's purely a return to nature.

The bandits pass like a comb, and the soldiers pass like a grate.

Ever since, one wave has not subsided, and another wave has arisen.And because Nangan Town went to Nan'an Prefecture to quell the rebellion, Ganzhou Prefecture was also bombed.

Chaos in southern Jiangxi!

……

Nanchang Prefecture.

The Ming army, which had always been keeping an eye on Southern Gansu, soon received news of the local rebellion in Southern Gansu.

Yang Gong asked Huang Dian's Fourth Army to temporarily stop in Nanchang Mansion because he was afraid of insufficient troops.If the Fourth Army wants to go south, it can only spare [-] soldiers and horses at most.

What can five thousand soldiers do?

But now, with the chaos in southern Jiangxi, it can be said that you just give pillows when you feel sleepy.

Huang Dian immediately decided to send troops.Yang Gong just asked him to postpone the southern Gansu offensive, and then he would first capture Ji'an Mansion, the gateway to southern Gansu.

Ok!

In a sense, Huang Dian is really similar to Yang Gong. At that time in Taiwan, he was shocked to hear that tens of thousands of rebels were rebelling and besieging the city.

With less than [-] soldiers, this guy dared to take a boat to sneak around and attack, and cooperated with Fucheng soldiers to join forces outside. They defeated the rebels in one battle and relieved the crisis in Fucheng.

With just this determination and courage, he can be called a brave general.

If you don't have enough courage, you won't be able to follow Emperor Zhu and raise a flag to rebel on the three-thirds of an acre of land in Taiwan.

When Huang Dian saw the fighter plane, he did not hesitate at all. He immediately led a town of five thousand soldiers and horses, crossed Linjiang Mansion along the Ganjiang River waterway, and galloped southward, not even stopping in Jishui County, for fear of delaying the fighter plane.

Linjiang Prefecture was surrendered when Yang Gong went north to raid Anqing, and Yuanzhou, Fuzhou, and Jianchang Prefectures were also surrendered with him.

Not to mention Linjiang, when he saw the Ming army attacking, the prefect of Ji'an Zheng Shanxi (shanxi is a word whose origin is unknown, it comes from the Kangxi dictionary) did not hesitate at all, and immediately opened the city to surrender.

I couldn't help Huang Dian directly. I originally thought that it would take some effort and means to capture Ji'an Mansion, but I didn't want to give in so easily.

What Huang Dian didn't know was that if a rebellion hadn't broken out in Southern Gansu and Li Dengke, the commander-in-chief of Southern Gansu, had nothing to do but take care of himself, Zheng Shanxi would have continued to bargain with the Ming army.

Under Ji'an Mansion, Huang Dian did not stop his troops immediately. Instead, he continued southward along the Ganjiang River, skipping Taihe all the way to Wan'an County.

The Wan'an County Magistrate was so frightened by the Nangan rebellion that he knelt down faster than Zheng Shanxi, the Ji'an prefect.

Moreover, what is very interesting is that Huang Dian met the magistrate of Shangyou County who had fled all the way from Shangyou County here.

Wan'an County Government.

Huang Dian looked cheerful: "Are you the magistrate of Shangyou County?"

The magistrate of Shangyou County, who was dressed in official uniform, nodded and bowed quickly, with a flattering look on his face: "As for the general, I am the magistrate of Shangyou County."

Huang Dian asked again: "What is the situation in Shangyou County now? Why are there civil unrest?"

After hearing this, the Shangyou County Magistrate quickly cried and said: "This... General, you don't know something! These rioters are used to armed and resisting taxes, and the lower officials are considerate of the people, so they tolerate it. But now, these The rioters did not know who listened to the noise, but actually started to rebel."

"Xiaoguan originally wanted to surrender the city as soon as the general's army arrived, but now it happened. It would have been fine if these gangs of rioters just robbed some money, but they actually burned the county. Kill and loot.”

At the end of the sentence, the county magistrate actually knelt down on the spot and said: "I would like to implore the general to send troops south immediately to avenge my people!"

These words can be said to be sincere.

"Get up quickly."

When Huang Dian saw him, he quickly reached out to help him up and comforted him for a while.

After he left, a trace of anger appeared on Huang Dian's face, which quickly disappeared.

Ha ha.

He really thought that Huang Dian was a fool who was easy to fool. This guy didn't tell the truth in every line of his words. It didn't take a guess to know that he was probably a corrupt official.Moreover, he is as corrupt as Wang Zhen. The civil unrest in Shangyou County is probably caused by this person.

"Come on!"

Huang Dian thought for a moment, then summoned his soldiers to imprison the Shangyou County Magistrate who "pleaded for life for the people", as well as the Wan'an County Magistrate and his family members who voluntarily surrendered. Oh no, they were "protected" .

The affairs of Wan'an County were temporarily handed over to the county magistrate, the chief registrar and the original officials.

After doing all this, Huang Dian immediately called Li Yong.

"Ayong, we are going to disobey Commander Yang's military order and lead troops south to Ganzhou. Do you dare to follow?"

Good guy, you know you are disobeying orders, so you plan to bring someone else to share the blame.

"How dare you! Why don't you dare. General, we will do whatever you say!"

Li Yong didn't care about disobeying military orders. He only knew that there was a battle to be fought.

From the time he was first settled in Penghu by King Zhu, to western Fujian, then to Zhejiang, and then to the attack on Jiangxi, others were almost exhausted.

It's not easy to win a battle, who cares if he disobeys the commander's orders!
It has to be said that although Huang Dian is indeed marching against the order, he will definitely be punished if the true report comes up.

But the fighter opportunity was fleeting. At this time, I was still thinking of going to Nanjing or Anqing to request orders. It was better not to fight.
