Chapter 1233 The Change in Ningxia (Part [-])
Facing a group of his own cronies and former subordinates, when he said such words, of course, he did not really want to go bankrupt for everyone, but to arouse their gratitude and hatred.

Although the method is old-fashioned, as long as the effect is good, it is a good method.After listening to these words, the generals knelt down and worshipped together, and all of them shouted that they would like to share the honor and disgrace with the father and son.

He was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the generals one by one, and the words of praise and thanks were thrown out as if they didn't want money.

But when he lifted everyone up, Dawby walked to and fro again, and there seemed to be an inexorable sadness between his brows.

When the wise man saw it, he immediately asked.

Chanbai pretended not to be able to hide it, and sighed: "Ningxia Governor Liang Wenmeng is greedy, abuses his subordinates, is loyal and vicious. He knows that I Chanbai has always been very generous to his subordinates, and I am greedy. Worshipping one day without dying, he Liang Wenmeng can he reach out his hand from the army's salaries smoothly? Therefore, the relationship between me and Liang Wenmeng is already endless.

As for you, it is the same.Mutiny of soldiers and soldiers is always a taboo for civilian officials. If you continue to stay in the camp, the Shangguan will blame you, and life is better than death. If you escape from Ningxia, you will be like a lonely ghost, and your wife and children will not survive.My brothers and I have now offended Liang Wenmeng so far. For the sake of the brothers, I am afraid that we can only execute Liang Wenmeng and stand up for ourselves. There is still a chance of survival.Helpless, this move is to commit chaos, and if you do it, there is no way to retreat... What is the best way, I also ask the brothers to think about it. "

Liu Dongyang, Xu Chao and others pondered for a long time, and finally Liu Dongyang, who has always been the most courageous and powerful, stood up and expressed to Yanbai that he would like to live and die together and make an appointment to rise up.Seeing that Liu Dongyang was like this, the rest of the people followed suit.

Maybe it's because of the whole set of dramas, maybe it's because Zhaibai has other concerns or thinking, in short, Zhaibai's father and son still refuse to agree, and Zhaibai even made it clear to everyone righteously that he would never do rebellion.However, he left a back door, saying that if the generals think that not raising troops is not enough to attract the attention of the court, then they can only focus on the discussion.

The generals thought that Xi Bai was really thinking about them, and they all agreed.So Xie Bai ordered the generals to return to the camp to contact officers at all levels, and made an agreement to remonstrate collectively on the 29th of this month.

Since then, under the leadership of Liu Dongyang, the lower-ranking officers of each battalion frequently moved around under the pretext of excuses to win over the soldiers.There were more than [-] junior officers such as Wang Wende, He Yingshi, Chen Lei, Bai Luan, Feng Jiwu, etc.

In addition to the four major battalions in the city of Ningxia, many garrison officers in Fort Wu near Ningxia also participated in the event, and they held a night party at the Guandi Temple. They followed Liu Dongyang, Liu Chuanbai, and Zhang Wenxue as the presidents, and made Jinlan.

Liu Dongyang stood in the middle and swore loudly: "Today the brothers of each battalion have formed a golden orchid, united to fight against evil officials, in order to survive. The commander of the commander and the commander of the guard, the father and son of the family, are both wise and brave, and the righteousness is thin. He has always won the hearts of the army and is worthy of our follow. All brothers must strictly keep secrets and act cautiously, so as not to be discovered by Liang Wenmeng, so as not to be exposed, and to sacrifice brothers' lives in vain. Today, we swear here, not to live together, but to die together, The heart of boxing can be learned from every day!"

Liu Chuanbai followed closely, and also said loudly: "As Chan Chan Rong said a few days ago, this time, once we have a rebellion, it will be a rebellion and rebellion in the eyes of the court, and it will be difficult to turn back. If there is a dead end, it is better to give it a shot, or to win a way out! I know that many of my brothers are worried that the father and son of Chenshenrong are Mongolians, but they have no choice but to support the father and son. Brothers, if it wasn't for the imperial court to cut the army's salaries, if it wasn't for Liang Wenmeng's repeated deductions, or even...if the imperial court would be willing to pay him again at that time, then why should I bear the name of a traitor?"

Zhang Wenxue also helped and sighed: "Yes, it is a radical change in wages, but if there is still a way to live, who is willing to take the risk? It is really forced to help, and all the brothers can't bear the torture, so they have to come here. next policy.

What I have been waiting for, it would be a good thing for the court to have a clear decision, but if the court does not distinguish between right and wrong, the brothers will have to raise the army and stand on their own, and it is not in vain to be a good man! "

The good, the bad, the hard, the soft, all that needs to be said.Everyone was dissatisfied at first, and now in front of many comrades, no one refused to admit that he was a coward, so they all made up their minds and made an appointment to rise up.On the other hand, Cengbai ordered the generals of the family to use their names to bring their own private soldiers into the city one after another, and settle down in each line to wait for the military order.

On the 24th of this month, the governor of Ningxia Liang Wenmeng sent people to invite Zhang Weizhong, the general officer of the army, to accompany him to inspect the city defense. Zhang Weizhong invited Liang Qi, the guerrilla general of Ningxia town, and Ma Chengguang, the town guard of Ningxia town, to visit him.

Although Zhang Weizhong is a military general, he has a reputation for being loyal and straightforward. Liang Wenmeng's attitude towards him is not bad, he said warmly: "Since Benfu took office, he has faced the court's severe cuts in the army's salaries on the three sides. So far, everything about Ningxia's defense is unknown.

A few days ago, Rongzheng Shilang, Qizhen Jingluo Gao Gongbao, thinking of the friendship of the same family, also sent a special letter to Benfu, saying that Benfu is now in internal and external difficulties in Ningxia - there are captives outside, and proud soldiers inside.He reminded Benfu to be careful, neither should be taken lightly. I wonder what Zhang Zongrong thinks about this? "

Gao Wucheng is now not only "a prosperous literary name", but his martial arts are even more famous all over the world, especially in the towns of Jiubian who have been fighting against the Mongols all the year round, and everyone praised Gao Gongbao who won the Monan victory in the past few years. , All admiration.At this moment, Liang Wenmeng specifically pointed out that Gao Wushi was his "colleague", and said that Gao Wushi wrote to him personally a few days ago, not to show off, but to inadvertently narrow the psychological distance between himself and Zhang Weizhong, and at the same time It also made Zhang Weizhong more confident in him.

Pulling the banner as a tiger's skin is not only a high-level pragmatic meeting, Liang Wenmeng also seems to be a good player.

Zhang Weizhong was originally a taciturn man from Shaanxi Province. He originally planned to speak less and make fewer mistakes, but when he heard Liang Futai pose as a high palace guard, his heart moved, and he decided to speak carefully, so he bowed his hands and said earnestly: "Return to Futai, Ningxia Town. The city directly governs five guards, and the rest have five thousand households in Lingzhou, Xingwu, Weizhou, and Pinglu, as well as Ningxia Zhongwei and Ningxia guards, and another [-] each of other battalions, such as Zhengbing, Qibing, Reinforcement, and Nomadic battalions. .

Today, there are [-] horses and infantry troops in a town in Ningxia, but the side generals and private soldiers are not among them.In peacetime, the troops and horses demarcate and defend the land, and each performs its own responsibilities. In wartime, they coordinate with each other and cooperate in operations.

There are many castles in Ningxia Town, where soldiers gather in forts, piers are used to illuminate beacon fires, and border walls are used to limit Huayi. So far, 35 piers and 49 camp forts have been built. Together with the inner and outer cities of Ningxia Town, they are collectively called Ningxia 450 City.In addition, there are [-] three gullies on the wall, which are reinforced and improved every year. The stone at the pass is eighteen feet, and the height is two feet and three feet; the female wall is seven feet high, three feet wide, and one foot eight feet wide.

If we talk about the external defense situation, the North Zhanshan Mountain is 590 seven feet long, the South Zhan Mountain is 76 Zhang Zhang, with deep ditches and high fortifications, heavily guarded by the Yellow River in the middle, and Helan in the west.However, the terrain from east to Huamachi is flat and there is no danger to defend. Therefore, four dangerous roads were set up in east east, and fortifications such as the side wall along the river, the Taole long embankment, and the north gate and west gate were successively built.

If it is said that the internal army rebels, I have strict laws in the court, and with the help of the upper and lower ranks, the rebels are really few ears.But even so, there are still multiple closures in the city of Ningxia. As long as you lead one department to guard against danger, and order all departments to come to the rescue, you can be foolproof. "

Liang Wenmeng listened to Zhang Weizhong's remarks, and was satisfied and greatly appreciated.The two stood on the high platform of the tower and looked at it. Liang Wenmeng pointed to two mansions in the city of Ningxia and asked, "Where are these two houses, and why are they so prosperous?"

Zhang Weizhong glanced at it and replied: "The northeast corner is the mansion of Chanseng Rong. He has been in the army for decades. He has a wealthy family, and there are many families in the mansion, so it is lively; the place in the south is not an ordinary mansion, but It is the Ningxia branch of the Jinghua Trading Company, because there are many warehouses, stables, etc., it occupies a large area, plus there are many servants and employees, and there are many businessmen coming and going, so naturally there is a lot of traffic.”

Liang asked Meng suddenly, looked at it, and thought.After a while, thinking that Zhang Weizhong was so familiar with Ningxia City, he was not only satisfied.

However, he also had some doubts in his heart, secretly said: Brother Qiuzhen said in the letter that Zhang Weizhong was old-fashioned, loyal and trustworthy, and now it seems to be true, but he also said that this person is lacking in making decisions on the spot, the way of the emperor I'm afraid it's too generous, so I should pay more attention, but I don't know if it's true or not.If it is true, where did Brother Qiuzhen learn about it?Is it Magui's place?
He was hesitant in his heart, so he ordered his cronies Jiang Tingfu to be vigilant, investigate secretly, and report any news immediately.

A few days later, Jiang Tingfu, who was sitting in the camp of the Chinese army, really noticed that there seemed to be a change in the camp, and urgently reported to Liang Wen Meng and implored him to repay the insufficient food and wages on the same day, in order to stabilize the heart of the army.

Jiang Tingfu said: "Recently, the bidder noticed the changes in the camp. Officers at all levels took turns walking around. There are probably no less than a hundred people with names and surnames. This must be related to the town's repeated arrears of wages. It's the same, let's look at it under the standard, if it goes on like this, there will be a mutiny, please Futai pity the poor military households, and give kindness and pay, so as not to cause a catastrophe!"

Liang Wen Meng was furious and scolded: "How can the top officials of Fengjiang be slandered at will! This official is honest, upright and selfless, who knows who the court and the public don't know? Ningxia Junzhen officers are greedy and their soldiers forget their righteousness, so they are so presumptuous to slander Shangguan, where is Gangchang and where is the law!"

Jiang Tingfu didn't dare to say more, just sighed.

Liang Wenmeng's anger subsided a little, and he said: "You only know that Benfu still has army pay, but you don't know that this army pay is for the town's annual use. If the increase in the beginning of the year starts, and the middle of the year is over, why won't you eat? Not to mention that in winter, the cost will be even more. At that time, will Benfu report to the court, saying that Ningxia has already cut off the payment, and ask the emperor to make up another payment? If so, what does the emperor think, and the cabinet should What do you think, and what does the Ministry of Household think?
Besides, there may be changes in the Hetao now. Once the situation is different, Benfu has no money in hand, how to defend the border?Not to mention the fact that after Xining was lost, Gao Zhitai repeatedly called for payment in hopes of gathering troops to march westward. "

These things were obviously beyond Jiang Tingfu's thinking, so he could only keep silent.

Liang Wenmeng scolded him for a while, and when he calmed down a little, he ordered him to go back on his own, and then he called up a battalion of soldiers and issued an order: Anyone who links with foreign enemies and plunders the people will be executed; anyone who spreads rumors and slanders Shangguan Whoever commits a riot and holds a Shangguan hostage will surely lead to the calamity of the clan!

Liang Wenmeng believed that under the power of the imperial court, each battalion was under this strict order, and he would not dare to act rashly, and he did not take it seriously for the connection between the battalions.

On the night of the 28th, the father and son suddenly sent a letter to military officers at all levels, saying that Liang Wenmeng intended to wipe out all the officers and soldiers who had trouble the next day, as a warning to others.

Originally, the battalions received a warning from Liang Wenmeng a few days ago. Many people thought of the majesty of the imperial court and the means of the civil servants, and they all backed away secretly, but at this moment, when they heard that Liang Wenmeng wanted to take their sacrificial flag, they couldn't care less.

The battalions immediately mutinied, and the officers and soldiers of the fourth battalion in Ningxia town responded. Jiyun, the general of the bailing department, suddenly stormed in the city, and immediately captured and killed the guerrilla Liang Qi and the garrison Ma Chengguang.

Only then did Ningxia's commander-in-chief Zhang Weizhong know that Caibai had quietly gathered all the servants of the headquarters in the city.Zhang Weizhong is very familiar with Ningxia City. He knows that after the death of the guerrilla Liang Qi and the guard Ma Chengguang in Zhencheng, no one can resist the worship of the general Fubiao. Bing went to find Caibai, trying to persuade him to quickly rein in his horse.However, he asked himself that he could control Ningxia internally, and he had strong support from outside to take care of him. He had no plans to turn back at all, so Zhang Weizhong was detained.

As soon as Zhang Weizhong was detained, without saying a word, he held the seal of the general soldier and opened the city gate, attracting the influx of chaotic troops, and then entering the dangerous places, arsenals, granaries and other places.Yan Chengen led his troops into the Qing palace.

As early as in the Zhengde period, the Qing prince's mansion was cut off to guard the pro-military because of his convictions. At this time, there were only dozens of guards in the Qing prince's mansion.

Gao Guangxian, the governor of the three sides, sent more than 1000 people to protect King Qing before, but Gao Guangxian and Liang Wenmeng only regarded the Ordos Department in Hetao as an imaginary enemy. They never thought that something would happen in Ningxia City, so those 1000 people are still in the north of the city. Camping outside, not in the city at all, can't help King Qing at all.

By the time the rebels were massacred, the dozens of guards from the Qing palace had already fled. At this time, the Qing king Zhu Shuaizin had not yet formally attacked the Qing king—his father had passed away, but his son was still alive. During the "investigation period", the so-called "King of Qing" is just a common name for everyone.

Where has this little King Qing seen such a scene?He was young and timid, but at the moment panicked, but luckily he was taken into the cellar by his mother-in-law to hide.Unfortunately, King Xiaoqing was relieved for the time being, but his mother-in-law was slashed and killed by the rebels on the spot because she stood up to stop the rebels.

Chen Chengen couldn't find King Qing, so he ordered to take all of King Qing's royal clothes, Wang Mian, dressed in similar stature, and held him to go out and swagger through the market to convince Ningxia - after all, in theory, King Qing was the one who guarded Ningxia. feudal king.

Kuaibai brought his second son Kuai Chengchong, his adopted son Kuaiyun, Kuanghong, Kuaisai and his subordinate Tu Wenxiu, etc., and brought his family Ding Sanqian directly to the governor's yamen.

Liang Wen and Meng Gang received Zhang Weizhong's warning, but before he could react, he was surrounded by groups.

However, when Liang Wenmeng saw the Yaowu and majestic bows, his face did not change, but he bowed his fingers and cursed on the spot: "Little Tartar thief, I knew you would have a different opinion! I wanted to wait for the decree to be issued. Taking you again, I never thought that you would actually be able to incite the rebellion of the four battalions in Ningxia Town. This matter was my oversight, and I was entrusted by the emperor to seal the territory, and the only thing I could do was to apologize. However, the rebels and thieves committed the rebellion and harmed Zhongliang and Liangliang, as early as ten months. , half a year later, and he will surely die without a place to be buried, and be reviled by the world!"

Chanbai was furious and became mad. He slapped Liang Wenmeng to the corner of the wall with one palm and scolded him angrily: "The dog officer is about to die, yet he dares to pretend to be loyal and righteous! But I never had the heart of rebellion. But you, the governor of Ningxia, always wanted to put me to death. In addition, you were greedy and regarded the soldiers as livestock, and the military heart was lost. Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to instigate the rebellion of the four battalions. The power of Taiwan is also!"

Liang Wen Meng laughed loudly: "If you want to add a crime, why do you have to worry about it! I, someone in Liang, look up to the sky, look down on the ground, act worthy of people, and stop worthy of the heart. How can I care about the words of the beasts! I hate the rest of my life, but it's because of Ningxia's loss to me, I've lost the emperor's trust, and I've lost the truth and warned me, that's all! Kudos, it's up to now, if you want to kill it, you need to be slaughtered!"
