please make me king

Chapter 928 Xining Mutiny
Why do you think there was a turmoil outside Xi'an for a while?

It turns out that the officers and soldiers, apart from the uprising of the rebel army, and the post-Jin Prince Dorgon staring at Guihua City, there is still a difficult problem, which greatly involves the officers and soldiers.

This matter has to be talked about in October of the seventh year of Chongzhen. At that time, Empress Jinhuang Taiji attacked Lin Danhan Chahar's tribe in the west and threatened the Nine Sides of the Ming Dynasty;

The imperial court used troops everywhere to make ends meet.

Among them, Li Zicheng, the "Crossing General", Zhang Xianzhong, the "Eight Great Kings", and Luo Rucai, the "Living Cao Cao" and other rebels even prepared more horses and mules and other livestock, and they ran around, and the officers and soldiers could not catch up.

This caused the court to urgently need a large number of war horses to enhance the mobility of officers and soldiers.

Therefore, at the suggestion of his courtiers, Emperor Chongzhen ordered the eunuchs Zhang Yuanheng and Cui Liang to go to Xiningwei to monitor the tea horse censor Yi Zhuangma.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were many problems, and the dying years, how could they stand up to the toss?

As soon as the two eunuchs monitored it, it didn't matter, and a mutiny immediately aroused.

On October [-]th of the seventh year of Chongzhen, Huang Cheng from Nianbo and Ma Anbang from Zhenhaibao in Xining raised troops against the Ming Dynasty.

Nianbo is the place where Nianbo guards thousands of households. Xining Zhenhai Fort is the Xichuan Zhenhai Fort near Xiningwei. The main body of the army is some grassroots officers and soldiers of Xiningwei.

They "threatened the army and civilians in the city inside, and connected with pirates outside", "the wife and daughter of Kong Wenji, the soldier who prepared the army, set themselves on fire and died, the guarding eunuch Zhang Shouli, the guard Ding Kongyin, the Chinese army Li Benlong, and hundreds of households Zhang Erjing all died", so they occupied Xining City.

According to the original historical line, Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces who was chasing the peasant army such as the "breakthrough general" Li Zicheng, had to withdraw his army and return to Gansu to put down the rebellion.

As a result, due to Zhang Shun's intrusion, Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, led the elite to fight with him outside Luoyang City. How can there be time to take care of such things?

Zhang Yingchen, the former governor of Gansu, hurriedly urged Mo Yujing, the deputy general of Xining, to lead troops to suppress the rebellion.

Namo and Jing were not mediocre generals either. They went to Nianbo to appease the soldiers and the people at the Thousand Households, and captured Huang Cheng, the rebel general.

However, when he led his troops to attack Ma Anbang, who occupied Xiningwei.

Because most of the rebels in the city were relatives of soldiers, they refused to go to battle because of the artillery fire.

When Mo Yujing, the deputy commander in chief, urged him hard, the troops under his command actually scattered, so they were not available.

As a result, Zhang Yingchen, the governor of Gansu, and Mo Yujing, the deputy commanders, were dismissed by the officers and soldiers, and Tang Daoheng, the prefect of Dongchang from Danyang, was re-promoted as the governor of Gansu.

Tang Daoheng, the magistrate of Dongchang, is also a talented official, but he is facing the mess left by his predecessor before he took office, so what should he do?

Fortunately, he was originally from Danyang, Zhenjiang, and has always been a tough folk.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Danyang's elite soldiers were famous all over the world, and there was no shortage of elite soldiers.

At the beginning of his tenure, he was introduced by others, but he learned that there was a strange person living in seclusion in Jiaoshan, Zhenjiang.

This man's surname is Ge Minglin, his style name is Canggong, and his name is Qu'an. He was born in the second year of Chongzhen.

He has a straight personality and extraordinary physical strength.When I was young, I liked to play war games with boys from the same village.

A little longer, Ge Lin likes to practice martial arts, like bow, arrow and spear.

At that time, Yin Siqi, the prefect of Zhenjiang, was reprimanded by the court for his virtuous administration.Out of righteous indignation, Ge Lin went to Beijing to avenge his grievances, and his reputation was greatly enhanced.

It's just that he himself was also burdened by it, so he had to temporarily avoid Jiaoshan to study martial arts, cultivate his body and cultivate his character.

After Tang Daoheng was recommended by others, he personally carried gifts, climbed up Mount Jiao, and went to visit Ge Lin.

Since the mid-Ming Dynasty, the status of warriors has gradually been lower than that of civilian officials. Although Ge Lin is good at martial arts, he still refuses to abandon literature and follow martial arts. How can he go with him?

Tang Daoheng had no choice but to plead: "I am here today to invite Mr. Cang, not for a private matter, but for the public!"

"I've always heard that Mr. Cang is an upright man, he cares about the world, and he certainly doesn't care about personal gain or loss."

"Unexpectedly, today, for the sake of civil and military disputes, the safety of the people of Xining was abandoned!"

How can this Ge Lin resist?
Hearing this, he hurriedly stood up and said: "Wei Gong, I have missed some important national affairs!"

Ge Lin then recruited three thousand soldiers in Danyang for him, and took office with him as the new governor of Gansu Tang Daoheng.

After Tang Daoheng took office, Zhu Erlingzhen, the great master of the Sina nationality, and Ye Binggan, the head teacher of Xining Wei, led the crowd to recover Xining City.

After Tang Daoheng took office, he appeased the people and soldiers, pardoned the crimes of the soldiers involved, and characterized them as "the people and soldiers who were coerced;
On the one hand, Ge Lin was sent to lead Danyang's elite soldiers to supervise Ban Zhuoerlingzhen, the great master of the Xina nationality, and Martin Zhuang, a subordinate of Ye Binggan, the head teacher of Xining Wei, to conquer Ma Anbang.

At the beginning, Ge Lin and his Danyang soldiers were not acclimatized, and they were not good at riding and fighting, so they suffered some losses.

But a character like Ge Lin who is both civil and military can quickly grow up if he is given some time.

After the two sides fought many times, Ge Lin finally got the chance.

Nama Anbang's repeated attacks on the Danyang army were not good enough, so Ge ​​Lin hurriedly ordered Ban Zhuoerlingzhen, the master of the Sina nationality, and Ye Binggan, the head teacher of Xiningwei, to lead the cavalry to fight, and defeated the rebel army that was just about to retreat in one fell swoop.

Ma Anbang had no choice but to retreat to Haibao, Xichuan Town, and was surrounded by Ge Lin and his men, unable to escape.

The two sides attacked and defended for three months, Ma Anbang saw that there was no hope of breaking through, so he had to ask Ge Lin to surrender.

Ma Anbang said to Ge Lin: "I am a commoner in Zhenhai, but because Zhang Shouli, the guarding eunuch, persecuted me too much and took my horses at a low price, I had no choice but to turn back. Therefore, none of the officers and soldiers of Xining guards wanted to fight me."

"Now that you are leading soldiers from the south of the Yangtze River and have come all the way, I am no match for you."

"I have nothing to say about being king and defeating the bandits. It's just that my soldiers and relatives are so innocent?"

"I ask you to agree to pardon them, then I would rather capture them without fighting, and save the court from using swords!"

As soon as Ge Lin heard this, he immediately reported to Tang Daoheng, the new governor of Gansu, asking him to make a decision.

Tang Daoheng agreed, and Ge Lin beheaded Ma Anbang in order to collect his followers.

When the rebels all surrendered, Tang Daoheng, the governor of Gansu, immediately turned his face and ordered the soldiers to kill all the Ma clan and its backbone members.

Ge Lin couldn't help being inexplicably sad and indignant, and begged to see Tang Daoheng overnight.

Tang Daoheng ran out barefoot when he heard the sound, hugged Ge Lin and cried, "I know Ma Anbang has no other choice but the imperial court has its own rules, how can I spare him?"

"What's more, the world is raging now, and there is an instant threat of subversion."

"I heard that Qinzhou is besieged by 'Crossing Thieves', Pingliang by 'Scorpion Thief', Qingyang is besieged by 'Cao Thief', and Xi'an is besieged by 'Shun Thief'.

"This time, I, Tang Daoheng, reneged on my promise to enrich myself, not Mr. Ge Cang. I also ask Mr. Cang to think of all the people in the world!"

Ge Lin heard that although he was depressed, he was helpless.

Tang Daoheng, governor of Gansu Province, was really ruthless in this move. After being killed by him with such a quick knife, he really killed Xining Wei.

This disaster was beyond the expectation of Liang Tingdong, the governor of the three sides, and was suppressed by him for the time being.

Immediately, Tang Daoheng, governor of Gansu, took Ge Lin as his commander, and dispatched more than [-] guards and Han native soldiers from all over Gansu, and a total of more than [-] people went to Pingliang to help Liang Tingdong, the governor of the three sides.

At that time, Liang Tingdong broke the relationship between "Scorpion Block" Tuo Yangkun and "Huntian Star" Huideng, and with the help of Ge Lin's leadership, his power immediately increased greatly.

So he led the army to attack Luo Rucai, the "living Cao Cao" in the east, beheaded the leader of the rebel army "Huang Chao", and attacked Li Zicheng, the "breakthrough general" and Zhang Tianlin, the "crossing star" in the west.

Although these battalions were powerful, they were mostly guard officers and soldiers coercing the people and taking refuge in the rebel army. The organization was chaotic. Where was Liang Tingdong's opponent?
Immediately, they were defeated by Liang Tingdong, the governor of the three sides, and had no choice but to go east and vote for Zhang Shun.
