Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 266 Wuqiao Mutiny

() Just as Shaanxi Province had Shaanxi Governors and Trilateral Governors, Shandong Province at the time of the Ming Dynasty also had Shandong Governors and Denglai Governors. The jurisdictions of these two governors were independent of each other.

When Kong Youde's army left the Denglai area, he immediately encountered the problem of insufficient food and grass supply during Wu Shigong's last service as king.

But at the beginning, because Kong Youde's army had enough food and grass when they set out for the expedition, and Denglai and Jinan were still on the border of Shandong after all, so the food and grass for Kong Youde's army could still be supplied.

But as soon as they left Dezhou and arrived at the border of Beizhili, the local government would no longer provide food and grass to Kong Youde's army.In fact, he gritted his teeth and went hungry for a few meals. With the food stored, Kong Youde's army could still go to Tongzhou to replenish food and grass.

But Kong Youde thought so, his soldiers were not willing to go hungry, so after arriving at Wuqiao, several soldiers went to a local gentry's village to touch a few chickens to offer tooth sacrifices.

After that, it was nothing more than the gentry's domestic servant who found out, and they came to make trouble.Kong Youde was also willing to compensate the gentry for these things in order to calm things down.

However, the gentry united with the local officials and refused to let go. They stopped Kong Youde's army from moving forward and insisted that Kong Youde deal with the soldiers who stole chickens by military law.

Whether this kind of behavior is brainless or not will not be commented for the time being, and whether they did this to extort more money from Kong Youde will not be discussed.But from this behavior, it can be seen that the civil servants and gentry of the Ming Dynasty were so powerful at that time, they were not afraid of the army with swords and guns at all, nor were they afraid that this kind of interception of the army might delay the military plane.

At this time, Kong Youde still put down his body and begged for perfection.He arrested those soldiers who stole chickens and wandered through the camp with arrows, and wanted to give the gentleman an explanation.

But Kong Youde's behavior immediately caused the soldiers in his army to explode.After holding their breath for a long time, the soldier's anger has reached the critical point of a volcanic eruption.

Immediately, some soldiers went out to camp at night and killed the domestic slaves of the gentleman's family.Now, the conflict between the two sides intensified immediately.

The gentry immediately asked Kong Youde to hand over the murderer, and Kong Youde couldn't back down at this time.Now because of his compromise, Kong Youde's control over his soldiers is already very weak.If he doesn't protect the calf, Kong Youde will also be betrayed by others.

Seeing that Kong Youde did not hand over the murderer, the gentry mobilized the nearby people to block the way of Kong Youde's army.This stalemate lasted for more than a month.

But this time, Kong Youde's army was in a difficult situation.They eat all their own grain and buy it from the local people, but the grain they buy is of high quality and high quality, and they can't even buy it with money.

In desperation, Kong Youde had no choice but to use Li Jiuzheng's money to buy horses to bribe local officials, thinking of leaving this right and wrong place earlier.But the local officials accepted the money, and they still didn't do the job, just thinking about beheading Kong Youde and others who took advantage of them, so as to squeeze them out.

Before he knew it, Li Jiuzheng spent all his money on horses.But Kong Youde's army was in a desperate situation on their own land at this time.

Kong Youde has been hiding in his big tent for several days.He knew that these days, the military discipline of his soldiers was gone, and they were connecting with each other.But Kong Youde is still like an ostrich, he doesn't care about all this.

But when he heard the footsteps of a group of people approaching his big tent, and his own soldiers shouted to stop those people approaching his big tent, Kong Youde was also forced to come out.

As soon as he got out of the big tent, Kong Youde saw Li Jiuzheng leading his main officers, holding a waist knife, confronting his own soldiers.

Kong Youde seemed to turn a blind eye to the weapons in Li Jiuzheng's hands, and he cursed at his own soldiers: "Put away all the knives, did anyone use a knife against his brother?"

Under Kong Youde's glare, Kong Youde's soldiers reluctantly put away their weapons, and Li Jiuzheng and the others also put down their waist knives.

After a moment of silence, Li Jiuzheng said to Kong Youde: "The thugs outside are deceiving people too much. Brother Kong, you just send a word, and you lead us brothers to give them some eyes."

"What do you think? Are you rebelling?" Kong Youde immediately flew into a rage, "Killing those unruly people outside is a relief, what should we do after we can?"

"There's nothing left. If we drag it on like this, we will starve to death now." Li Jiuzheng was not intimidated by Kong Youde at all, "Brother Kong, my old Li can't speak, and our brothers from Dongjiang Town have had enough of this." How is the life of our brothers during the days when Marshal Mao is here? How is the life of our brothers after Marshal Mao is gone?"

"This time, we have been dragged here for more than a month because of a few chickens. If there is another way to solve it, I, Lao Li, will definitely not be ambiguous, and I will definitely not embark on this dead end. You know, I I also spent all the money I had to buy horses, and this crime is a death sentence. But for the sake of the brothers, did I, Old Li, have any ambiguity when I brought out the money? Really desperate! Brother Kong! Desperate!"

"No matter how desperate we are, we can't take the path of rebellion! Even if we don't do it for others, we have to think about it for Mr. Sun. We are happy to rebel, but what will happen to Mr. Sun? We are worthy of his kindness Huh?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Sun. But the current situation is that the father and the mother are married, and everyone cares about himself!" Li Jiuzheng's answer did not show any weakness.

Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng looked at each other for a long time, but at the end, he softened first.Kong Youde bowed his hands to the generals like Li Jiuzheng and begged, "Brothers, you all disperse! You all run away! Don't suffer this hard life anymore. I beg you, old Kong, don't take this step, when the time comes the most Handing over Lao Kong's head to the imperial court means that I, Lao Kong, are worthy of the imperial court, Mr. Sun, and all brothers."

"I know Brother Kong is loyal. But after Marshal Mao left, our brothers in Dongjiang Town died and fled. Now how many people are left who can drink a bowl of porridge together? We can't hold ourselves together. Tuan, what is the future? What is the way out?"

As he spoke, Li Jiuzheng, a five-foot-tall man, burst into tears.The surrounding generals and even some of Kong Youde's personal soldiers sighed.Kong Youde also had a sore nose, unable to hold back his tears.

He sighed for a long time and said: "Forget it! Forget it! I went back to sleep. I don't know anything about what you are going to do, and I can't see anything!" After finishing speaking, Kong Youde turned around and turned to Go to the big tent.

Seeing Kong Youde's acquiescence, Li Jiuzheng immediately said with a grim expression: "Brothers, let's do it!"

The local people surrounding Kong Youde's army camp seem to be having a carnival these days.They insulted the Ming army in the camp, constantly mocking all the actions of those Ming army.In their view, this is a pleasing entertainment.

But what I didn't expect was that there was a commotion in the camp of the Ming army today.Then, a large number of soldiers roared out of the camp, armed with weapons, and aggressively charged towards the people around the camp...
