Chapter 38 Disaster!
Hearing the words "all have rewards", all the river soldiers present became excited.
These river standard soldiers were recruited by Governor Chen Tailai and Governor Chen from Jining Prefecture. Although Governor Chen's reputation in Jining Prefecture is not very good, Governor Chen has one advantage, that is, he treats his soldiers extremely generously, which should be rewarded.
He is never stingy when doing business, which is well-known in Jining Prefecture.
Now Governor Chen and his old man have personally promised that there will be rewards. Then after Jining Prefecture is added, there will definitely be rewards, because Governor Chen and his old man want to fight against the Qing Dynasty. If they want to fight against the Qing Dynasty, they have to recruit and expand the army. Don't they just do it?
Was he promoted as a matter of course?
Thinking of this, all the river soldiers couldn't help shouting.
"Rebel!"
"Kill the Tartars!"
"When Governor Chen becomes emperor, we will be Conglong's heroes!"
"..."
Chen Tailai looked at these excited Hebiao soldiers and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Sure enough, money and silk still moved people's hearts.
The situation of Chen Tailai and Zhu Xiaosong is different.
When Zhu Xiaosong first killed Liu Juren, he did not promise any high-ranking officials or generous salaries. He simply wanted to drive away the Tatars so that everyone could live a good life.
Because the people in Liumiao Village have been oppressed by the government, Liu Juren, and Uncle Man, and the old dog Qian Deaf has to toss the Southern Tour again, the people who have been tortured to the point of being unable to survive by the previous five Southern Tours will naturally
Follow Zhu Xiaosong and rebel.
However, the river soldiers under Chen Tailai, the governor of the river, are different from the oppressed common people. Their life is much better than that of the oppressed common people, so Chen Tailai does not talk about expelling the Tartars and restoring China.
, on the contrary, he directly promised high-ranking officials and generous salaries as soon as he came up.
Otherwise, who would be willing to risk losing their head to rebel against Chen Tailai?
This is the problem of class impurity.
In fact, Chen Tailai himself had no thoughts of resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, and the rebellion had nothing to do with resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty.
There is no situation where people rebel because they see the difficulties in making a living for the people and see their lives become better after the establishment of the Peasants’ Association.
The reason why Chen Tailai incited his Hebiao soldiers to rebel with him was because Chen Tailai followed Mingxing, the governor of Shandong, to suppress Zhu Xiaosong. However, the result was a series of defeats. The rebels suppressed more and more, and the peasant associations suppressed more and more.
In the end, not only were the four hundred Manchurian infantry included, it might even affect Qian Deafangou's plan to go to the south of the Yangtze River.
The bandits have been wiped out like this, so someone must stand up and take the blame.
Then here comes the problem.
Although the person most responsible for the defeat was Mingxing, the governor of Shandong, his surname was Fucha, and he was related to the current Emperor Qian Deaf, who had broken bones but still connected tendons. Otherwise, Mingxing would have been the governor of Shandong Province.
Because of this name, everyone in his family died, let alone the high position of governor of Shandong.
Except for Mingxing, the only remaining people are Chen Tailai, Wu Zude, Yan Xiangqing and others who are suitable to take the blame. Among these few, only Chen Tailai, the governor of Jining River, can be regarded as half a military officer.
Moreover, the official position is one level higher than that of the prefects like Wu Zude and Yan Xiangqing, making them the best candidates to take the blame.
Therefore, the current situation for Chen Tailai is that he can either die taking the blame for his ineffective suppression of bandits, or he can simply rebel against his mother and occupy Jining Prefecture by himself, with Zhu Ni from Yizhou and Shanxian.
The Bagua Cult responds from a distance, and maybe there is still a chance to survive.
If you're lucky...
Zhu Chong, a beggar in the eighth district, could become emperor, and Li Zicheng, an unemployed postman, could conquer the world. We, Old Chen, have soldiers in hand and can seize the opportunity to capture Jining. Why can't we try the weight of this tripod?
It was precisely based on this mentality of death or a big gamble that Chen Tailai coerced and induced his Hebiao soldiers to rebel together.
After these Hebiao soldiers, who were dreaming about high-ranking officials and rich salaries in the future, gradually calmed down, Chen Tailai coughed again and said: "As the saying goes, soldiers are valuable and quick! Now that Mingxing old dog has fled to Yanzhou Prefecture, you will assemble the army quickly.
Prepare for war and follow this governor to hunt down Mingxing!"
All the river soldiers suddenly became excited again. They each had their swords in their hands, and each one yelled that they wanted to hunt down Mingxing, the governor of Shandong.
…
At this time, the first lunar month has not yet come out, and it is the time when spring is cold.
The official uniform on his body was already extremely heavy, and Mingxing had always been used to being pampered. Now that he was suddenly faced with a sudden change, and running desperately all the way, Mingxing felt a vague feeling of cramping in his calves, and his lungs also felt like they were filled with blood.
It was as if a urine bubble full of water was about to explode, and all kinds of Venus were flying around in front of my eyes.
After running a few more steps, Mingxing simply collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily, and white smoke kept coming out of his forehead. He looked as if he had successfully cultivated immortality.
Keshan, the Manchurian horse-armor general, also collapsed beside Mingxing. After breathing heavily for a long time, he said intermittently: "Master, we, we have to keep running! That dog, Chen Tailai, who has entered the dog world, will rebel. He will definitely not
He will let us go."
Mingxing gasped and said: "I know, I know, but I can't run! You tell me to rest first! Rest!"
At this moment, Mingxing's heart was as messy as a beeping dog.
First, Chen Tailai, that dog slave, suddenly rebelled for some unknown reason, and then Wu Zude, the cowardly fellow, abandoned himself, the governor of Shandong, and ran away for their lives!
Is this normal?
This is not normal!
I, Fucha Mingxing, am the master. Chen Tailai is just a slave, but he, a slave, actually rebelled against his master? Those slaves who did not rebel also abandoned their masters and ran for their lives? This is simply treason!
What makes Mingxing even more confused is that those river soldiers were clearly defecating when they were suppressing bandits. How come their combat power exploded as soon as they rebelled? If we say that their combat power was six when they suppressed bandits.
Thousands, at least 10,000 or more during the rebellion!
Damn it, if we used the energy of rebellion to suppress the bandits, wouldn’t the bandits be wiped out long ago? Wouldn’t it be nice for everyone to get promoted and make a fortune together?
It’s his mother’s fault!
However, before Mingxing could vent his resentment, the shouts of death from Chen Tailai's rebels were once again heard in the distance.
"Capture Mingxing!"
"Whoever catches Mingxing will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!"
"kill!"
Mingxing, who had just been thinking about taking a rest, was completely awakened by the faint cry of killing. He stood up and shouted: "Let's go!"
However, not far after escaping, Mingxing couldn't run again.
Keshan grabbed Mingxing and shouted: "Let's go!"
Mingxing held his waist with one hand and grabbed Keshan's sleeve with the other, breathing heavily and said: "Let's go, I can't walk anymore! Just go!"
Keshan looked at his sleeve that was tightly held by Mingxing, and thought to himself, if you really want me to run away first, then you should stop holding on to my sleeve, you bastard!
In desperation, Keshan, who had long felt that he could not run away, simply took off his clothes. After taking off his clothes, he helped Mingxing take off his official robe, casually grabbed a Manchu vest, and ordered: "Take it with you."
Wear the official uniforms of General Ben and Lord Futai and run away!"
The vest was obedient. Dang even took the official robe from Keshan and continued running, but Keshan just pulled Mingxing and ran for a few steps. Then he stopped and looked around when others were not paying attention.
After a while, the two of them got directly into the wheat straw pile.
Keshan whispered: "Sir, we can't run anymore. Let's just let them run. The few that can run will attract the attention of the rebels for us. Let's hide here first and wait for the rebels to leave.
Let’s think of a solution after that, shall we?”
Mingxing nodded vigorously, almost moved to tears!
Look, look! When it comes to a critical moment, we can still rely on our own people!
After finally waiting for the shouts of death to fade away, Keshan waited carefully for a long time before he got out of the wheat straw pile, and then pulled Mingxing out.
It was completely dark at this time.
Keshandu supported Mingxing and asked, "Sir, what should we do now?"
At this time, Mingxing had completely calmed down. After pondering for a while, he pointed in the west direction and said, "Let's go to the palace!"
Keshan was startled: "Sir, isn't the west the direction where Chen Tailai and his group of rebels are going? If we go further west, what if we run into Chen Tailai?"
Mingxing said: "Chen Tailai cannot pursue me. He must be in a hurry to return to Jining River Yamen, so he will run to the southwest, but we are going due west, so we should not encounter him."
And Chen Tailai's choice was indeed as Mingxing expected.
At the beginning, Chen Tailai thought that he had to capture Mingxing, the governor of Shandong, no matter what, because as long as Mingxing died, the news of his rebellion would spread slower. When he returned to Jining Hedao Yamen, the rest
Things will be much easier to handle.
But after Chen Tailai led his men to hunt for a while but found no trace of Mingxing, Chen Tailai gave up the idea of chasing Mingxing.
Chen Tailai calculated very clearly that Mingxing, the governor of Shandong, was only one person after all. In a place as big as Yizhou and Yanzhou, it would be difficult to trace him wherever he hid. What if Mingxing returned to the governor's office first, or was caught by those few people?
The prefects ran back to the government first, but because he was chasing Mingxing and failed to return to Jining Hedao Yamen in time, his life was really in danger.
So Chen Tailai simply gave up on tracing the whereabouts of Ming Xing, and instead took his Hebiao soldiers all the way back to the Jining Hedao Yamen.
After returning to Jining's Hedao Yamen, the first thing Chen Tailai did was to call on his soldiers to bloodbath the Jining Magistrate's Yamen. Then he stole the money of more than a dozen squires and wealthy merchants to recruit soldiers, and then took the Jining Cao Gang
Take it under your wing.
Chen Tailai officially raised the flag of rebellion.
Therefore, when Mingxing, the governor of Shandong, fled to the Quanlin Palace and returned to the governor's office in Jinan with the help of the soldiers of the Quanlin Palace, he found that the entire Shandong Province had already formed the Zhu Xiaosong in Yimeng and the Bagua sect in Shan County.
, Jining has a situation like Chen Tailai.
This time it was a complete failure.
It would be better if it was just a group of Zhu Xiaosong who rebelled against thieves or a group of rebel thieves from the Bagua Cult. Although it is also difficult to explain, at least it would not affect Long Live Lord's journey to the south of the Yangtze River, nor would it affect other aspects.
Very big.
The key is that Chen Tailai, a dog slave, also rebelled.
Although Chen Tailai's official title is the Governor of Jining River Channel, he is usually barked around like a dog by Mingxing, the governor of Shandong. However, in fact, the Governor of Jining River Channel is a second-rank official. He is not only responsible for the management of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal and related rivers
It is also the highest administrative agency and the highest military agency for governance and transportation.
If this bastard rebels, it will not only mean that Long Live Lord's plan to go to the south of the Yangtze River will be affected, but also the water transportation may be affected. The final result will be that the court will be shaken! The capital will be shaken!
When that time comes, Mingxing, the governor of Shandong, will definitely be ruined, and he may not even be able to save his family.
Chapter completed!
