I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 261 Rebels
Zeng Jing really couldn't stand the indiscriminate killing behavior of these rebels, who were actually rogue bandits.

The rebels not only massacred the wealthy households, but also spared the servants and long-term workers in their homes.

Zeng Jing and Zhang Xi could not control the out-of-control and crazy rebels, so they could only try their best to rescue those who were killed indiscriminately.

Even if he is really unkind and notorious for being rich, he is ordered to hand it over to the people for public trial instead of asking them to burn, kill and loot.

This naturally caused dissatisfaction among many rebels. Although many of these rebels were honest and good people before, they were quickly corrupted by burning, killing and looting along with others.

As soon as the Yongxing County uprising army started, internal divisions occurred.

Zeng Jing and Zhang Xi were on the same team, and most of their subordinates were scholars, as well as those rescued domestic slaves and long-term workers, as well as some ordinary people who had not been corrupted.

The other group was led by a man named Huang Gou. As his name suggests, before joining the rebel army, this man was the gang leader in Yongxing County and was in charge of dozens of gangsters.

Seeing that Zeng Jing, a scholar and great master, had risen in rebellion, he thought that the Qing court in this area was really going to die, so he took the opportunity to join the gang with his ruffians.

In the early stages of the rebel uprising, he successfully controlled most of the rebels. This rebel plunder was also his idea.

Otherwise, for a group of ordinary people, who would know which house has money and which house to rob?
The two forces didn't even stabilize for long before conflicts quickly broke out.

The cause of the conflict was the scholar who had advised Zeng Jing to take over the county government as soon as possible during the uprising and establish the overall situation.

The scholar's name was Wei Xichun, and his family was fairly wealthy, but he failed in the exams every year because he didn't understand the rules.

During the Qing Dynasty, except for Yongzheng's win over people's hearts and the allocation of some local positions to Han people, basically the Han people had no choice but to sit for the imperial examination if they wanted to get ahead.

Not to mention how difficult the imperial examination is, even if you pass it, you may not get a good position.Moreover, we have to continue to send money to the higher authorities in order to arrange for the shortage as soon as possible.

The main reason why Wang Jingqi has been idle for so many years is that he did not spend enough money.Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and went to the northwest to join his friends, and met Nian Gengyao by the way.

The reason why Wei Xichun followed Zeng Jing and others in rebellion was simply that his family's assets could not support him to continue to serve as an official in the imperial examination.

There are cynical people in any era, especially when they fail to succeed every year.

It was Wei Xichun who gave the advice to Zeng Jing and Zhang Xi to rescue and stop the indiscriminate killings by the rebels.

But then, the rebels went crazy and massacred Wei Xichun's hometown.

Not robbed, but slaughtered.

Because Wei Xichun's relatives called on the villagers to gather to resist the marauding rebels, this directly angered the leader of the rebels who led the team. After conquering the village, they immediately massacred the village to vent their anger.

Such a big thing, when Zeng Jing, Zhang Xi and others arrived, there was only a mess and corpses all over the village.

Some of the women were disheveled and looked extremely miserable when they died.

Zeng Jing and Zhang Xi couldn't bear it anymore, so they went directly with their troops and ordered the yellow dogs to hand over the perpetrators and chop them up in public.

It was definitely impossible for him to surrender, especially when Zeng Jing led troops to force him to surrender.

Then, the rebels finally broke out into civil war.

The rebel forces under Zeng Jing and Zhang Xi could not count as many as a thousand men, because the rules they set were too strict and did not allow looting and killing.

It's really like a rebel army asking for life for the people, which has caused many rebels to fall under the command of yellow dogs who can enjoy good food and drink hot food.

Regardless of their combat power, Huang Gou has gathered thousands of troops under his command, and many of the core personnel are even "elites" who have seen blood.

Of course, Zeng Jing and Zhang Xi were defeated and fled eastward with hundreds of remaining soldiers.

I don't know where to flee. Looking at the hundreds of remaining soldiers around me, Zeng Jingku sat on the ground and became more and more regretful: "I shouldn't have been so hasty. Rebellion is such a big deal..."

Just like in history, Zeng Jing and her disciple Zhang Xizhen ran to persuade Yue Zhongqi to rebel. After being sent to Yongzheng, they immediately gave up.

In order to survive, do whatever you are told.

Any differences between Huayi and Huayi are all nonsense.

"Sir! Now I can't wait for the defeated army, so it is useless to talk about it."

Wei Xichun suddenly said: "The top priority is to decide as soon as possible where the rebels will go next!"

Zeng Jing was at a loss for words. When she heard Wei Xichun's words, she immediately asked: "Mr. Wei, what do you think?" Wei Xichun said without hesitation: "Immediately go east and invite the Ming Dynasty's heavenly troops to enter Hunan!"

As soon as this statement came out, Zeng Jing did not agree immediately, but hesitated.

It is true that he revolted under the banner of the Ming Dynasty, and he did want to be a pioneer for the king's army.But now it has become like this, which really makes him feel embarrassed.

Wei Xichun's face was full of hatred, and he continued: "The yellow thief committed such evil under the banner of Master Wang of the Ming Dynasty. Master Wang will definitely not let him go. Moreover, we have disrupted Chenzhou. As long as Master Wang has the intention, we will not refuse." "

Wei Xichun was trying to drive away tigers and devour wolves in order to avenge his family.

Zhang Xi thought for a moment and then advised: "Sir! What Mr. Wei said is absolutely true. Now that we only have a defeated army left, we can only suppress the yellow thief by inviting the king's heavenly soldiers."

"Furthermore, we are the pioneers of Wang Shi's uprising. Now that Chenzhou is in chaos, we should take this opportunity to invite Wang Shi's heavenly troops to enter Hunan."

Even the most trusted disciple persuaded her like this, and Zeng Jing finally made up her mind: "In that case, then according to your words, we will invite Master Wang's heavenly soldiers to enter Hunan!"

After all, it seems that the whole person has aged dozens of years.

Zhang Xi and Wei Xichun were speechless for a while.

Zhang Xi couldn't help but sigh. He was a good teacher, so why did he act like this when he started to do big things?

Indecisive and hesitant, could this be the nature of a teacher?
Wei Xichun didn't care, he just wanted revenge now, he just wanted the rebels who killed his wife, children, and children, and the thieves to pay with their blood.

……

But he said that the yellow dog had beaten Zeng Jing and Zhang Xi away, and he suddenly felt even more proud.

Then, Huang Gou swelled up. He followed the advice of his generals and leaders, and immediately recruited the remaining young men in Yongxing County as soldiers, gathering tens of thousands of people, and claiming to the outside world as an army of one hundred thousand.

They directly raised the banner of the Ming Dynasty and marched toward Chenzhou City along the Leishui River.

When Chenzhou Zhizhou heard the news, although he was scared, after hearing about the actions of this group of rebels under the banner of the Ming Dynasty, he decisively said to everyone: "These are just a bunch of bandits. The Ming army will not be like this. Please be at ease and defend the city." , they can’t get in.”

Then, he turned around and hurriedly sent people to go east to Nangan to ask for troops from the Ming Dynasty King's division.

Yes, a dignified Qing magistrate went to the pseudo-Ming next door for help.

If Emperor Yongzheng in Beijing knew about this, he would probably be furious to death.

However, this really has nothing to do with Chenzhou Zhizhou. The only neighboring state capitals that may send troops to rescue are Hengzhou (Hengyang where Wu Sangui became emperor) and Guiyang.

The former didn't say whether he could get reinforcements or not. Just because of the distance he had to walk, he might as well have sent people to Nangan to ask for help.

The latter's Guiyang, like his Chenzhou, was both a Zhili prefecture and originally had few troops.

Moreover, the Yongzhou Yao uprising has spread to Guiyang, and Guiyang Zhizhou itself cannot be protected.

The whole of southern Hunan and western Hunan is in chaos. Wang Zhishu, the governor of Pianyuan, is now huddled in Changsha. His daily job is to frantically send letters to Wuchang asking for help.At the same time, he notified the court to impeach Longkodo and gave orders to various states to suppress the rebellion as soon as possible.

Suppress the fart!

These young people in Hunan were severely oppressed by the Manchu and Qing officials. This time they bottomed out and rebounded, which can be said to be a war.

Moreover, even if these ethnic minorities do not have chieftains, basically all the people will be soldiers when they rebel, and their fighting power is very strong. It is difficult for the state capitals to protect themselves, and how can they have the troops to suppress them.

This Chenzhou magistrate is not an exception. The situation has become increasingly clear now. Jiujiang was defeated and Longkoduo was defeated and retreated to Wuchang.

At least one Southern Dynasty emperor of the Ming Dynasty is already confirmed.

As the saying goes, good birds choose trees to roost, and we are not all fools who insist on being buried with your Aixinjueluo family.

Just like when the Manchu Qing Dynasty swept across the world, former Ming officials and military generals watched the wind and surrendered.

Now it's just a replay, with the roles reversed.

　I continue to work overtime today and feel like my body is being drained.
