After the Wenkui rebels captured Anfu County, there was no brutal policy such as massacre of the city, but the situation could not be much better.
They didn't do much bad things at the beginning, but soon everyone found that there were no official constables here, and no one punished them; and those who had the power to kill themselves could be called brothers and talk about mercy.
Then, there were people who raped women, robbed families, and gradually killed people and set fires occasionally, but most of the people who committed crimes were fine; there were already many people in the army, and everyone was finally inspired to do whatever they wanted, and the crime of rape and looting began everywhere between the city and the countryside.
Anfu County, which had been occupied, broke out again.The rebels did not dare to leave the city when there were few people, and they were easily attacked by mobs outside.
After the private money was found in the army, the leaders of various departments formed a small circle and would send people to take care of their own property day and night to avoid being stolen by their peers.As for training at the school ground, it is because there are fewer people attending for a long time.
Prince Wenkui originally planned to strengthen his strength after occupying Anfu County, and then marched into Ji'an Prefecture City.
But the situation is not good at the moment, and I really don’t have the strength to attack the big city; seeing that the food and grass are increasingly consumed and I can’t receive the food from the village, many people’s opinion is to continue to attack another county town...
After all, the success of attacking Anfu County gave them a taste of the sweetness. The county town generally had no regular troops and had weak force.
Unexpectedly, before the attack was ready, news came that the Ming army from Ji'an Prefecture was dispatched and went north along the Lushui River to quell the rebellion.
At this time, the military and political situation of the Jiangxi Provincial Administration Office was already very decadent and sluggish. However, because the inertia and rules of the bureaucratic system were still operating, rebellion occurred in the local area. The Minister ordered the government office to dispatch troops to quell the rebellion.
It is difficult to organize a large army to fight in the entire Jiangxi area now, but it is very simple to mobilize hundreds of troops from the military households of a government.
It is estimated that the maximum number of Ming troops coming to Ji'an Prefecture is seven or eight hundred.The rebels were panicked when they heard the news, but Prince Wenkui decided to fight and defeat the troops.
……
A few days later, the Ming army dug trenches outside the city and built a simple camp, waiting for the boatmen to pull the siege equipment carried by ships from Ganjiang River to Lushui.
Although this Ming army is called the official army, it is actually a very poor army. At this time, most of the military households in the government are unwilling to fight and their morale is low. The military households pulled out to suppress the rebellion are all serfs who are extremely poor and helpless.
It's okay if the clothes and armor are not complete, but the clothes and other items of the military soldiers are self-provided. Some people in the Ming army don't even have decent clothes. The clothes are ragged and like beggars, and they all look bitter. It is estimated that in their eyes, ordinary self-cultivating farmers are rich families.
The commander named Liu Shuhan, who is also a bad and honest man. He was able to become a military officer just because his generals were hereditary. In fact, he did very poorly in the officialdom, otherwise he would not have gotten this job.
His talent was also extremely limited. He was in the camp to encourage morale. His words were too simple, so he shouted loudly: Lord Wang, the prefect, said that after winning the battle, each person received 100 kilograms of rice and fifty ingots of treasure money (at this time, the treasure money of the Ming Dynasty was basically useless).Perhaps the benevolent and righteous families in Ji'an Prefecture will pay for the villagers to get some wine and meat to reward the army. Then we will go back and have a big meal!
The soldiers were very happy after hearing this. One hundred kilograms of rice was not worth even one tael of silver, but it was much better than letting the military households pay food without anything.
The next morning, the Ming army discovered that the rebels had left the city and might have to fight outside the city.
So he directed Liu Shuhan to order all troops to set up camps to fight the enemy.
A group of serfs farming all year round, but at least twice a year, the provincial Dushi will be sent to organize training. Everyone knows the basic marching and formation arrangements, and the organization also has basic order.
The conventional Ming army's formation method was that light soldiers and crossbows were in front, and heavy infantry with spears, swords and shields were lined up in order. As for horse soldiers... only military generals and commanders had horses.
After the two armies fought, the serfs saw each other's pomp, looking at each other, wishing they would stop fighting and run away, but they were afraid of the violent military law of the generals, so they had to stand there with their teeth.
In front of the rebel formation, a group of Francasing cannons were scattered in a row, and the brand new gun barrels were shining with a heavy metallic luster. This lineup was luxurious.
As for the Ming army in local garrisons, artillery is very difficult to see, and even in government offices, things that are only available in important towns such as Nanchang...
It's okay. Look at the muskets in the hands of those rebel soldiers, which are also new. The Shenji Camp of the Capital has such a high firearm equipment rate, almost everyone has one.
Liu Shuhan couldn't help but ask his aides: Could these people be the army sent by the King of Xiang from Huguang?My life is about to go to bed today.
Who doesn’t know about the Huguang business in the officialdom?
The imperial army lost at least tens of thousands of troops in Huguang. Not long ago, there were rumors that even the Shenji Camp was trapped.
The staff frowned and looked at it for a long time, but did not dare to make a conclusion.
Liu Shuhan cursed: Fuck!I'm unlucky.
The staff hurriedly made a gesture, and when Liu Shuhan came to his ears, he whispered in a low voice: If the King of Xiang is going to attack Jiangxi, why not the general should withdraw his troops first and then send secret envoys to talk. It is not necessarily a bad thing to surrender to the past now.
Not that good?
Liu Shuhan said in surprise, "Besides, the people in the government office clearly made it clear that the riots in this county were a group of bandits who gathered on the mountain before."We haven't figured out the situation yet, and we have to follow the orders of the top peak.
At this moment, a sudden bombardment sounded, and Liu Shuhan and others were shocked and hurriedly looked around. Many soldiers were looking up at the sky. There was no movement in the entire camp, and they didn't know where the shells were flying.
This cannon... Before Liu Shuhan finished speaking, suddenly, Boom boom sounded again, and many cannons were fired.
Finally, I saw shells falling on the ground in front of me. The Fran Machine's shells were relatively small. After jumping a few times, they rolled on the ground, and some flew to other places.
Suddenly, a shell hit the head of a soldier in front of him. The plasma on his head exploded suddenly, just like a watermelon was smashed, and blood splattered all over the people, and there was panic in the crowd.
Before the shell could stop, it hit another person. The man screamed in pain, cried and cried, as if he was injured and not dead.
The Franco Cycling Cannon is designed with a mother-of-child gun, with extremely limited range and power, but it is a rear-loaded cannon and has a rotating child gun, which has the advantage of being extremely fast firing speed.
After the cannons were fired one after another, they began to change the sub-guns.
Unexpectedly, after a moment, there was a loud bang again, and some people on the other side crawled and screamed.
Did it explode?
It turned out that the cannons of one of the cannons forgot the steps, and immediately replaced the sub-gun full of gunpowder after the release. The remaining sparks inside unfortunately ignited the gunpowder of the sub-gun. The breeze exploded before it was fixed, and it directly reversed and injured the nearby people.
After the explosion, all the artillery guards were frightened and hurried away from the artillery.
No matter how stupid the commander of the Ming army was, he saw this scene with his own eyes and felt that his opponent was not a powerful character.
Commander Liu decided to tentatively attack, and immediately ordered the front army to advance, and then approached and shot with a bow and arrow.
Unexpectedly, a few arrows immediately attracted a crackling and a fire broke out, and the fire guns on the opposite side fired their guns one after another.
The two armies were more than 100 steps apart, and the combs were shot randomly and nothing was hit. The lead balls flying in front and behind had already floated out of sight.
However, the momentum was also spectacular. There was smoke in front of the crowd, and the explosion scared several horses neighing.
Kill, kill Ah!Suddenly a shout came from the smoke.Many people rushed over vaguely.
Commander Liu hurriedly ordered the arrows to be fired. The crossbow soldiers in front shot flat, and the archers behind threw arrows, and the rain of arrows poured out.
The rebels rushing over had no armor at all. The arrows fell on people and were directly penetrated into flesh. They screamed for a moment, and the charge was defeated by a round of arrows.
The Ming army's light troops immediately advanced dozens of steps, and then shot several arrows within the range. Soon the rebels on the opposite side dispersed and ran towards the city gate, with firearms thrown everywhere.
Commander Liu was overjoyed and immediately ordered a pursuit and attack.
The Ming army's light soldiers put away their crossbows, rushed up with short weapons, and the heavy infantry holding long soldiers followed closely behind.
A large group of people followed and rushed directly to the city gate. Nothing could block the Ming army's troops. They directly snatched the gate and rushed into the city.
Seeing this, Commander Liu couldn't help but walk around and said: If I had known this, why would I have been looking for a trainer to pull out?!
A fierce-looking rebel army in the city saw the official army coming like a flood, and their people scattered again. How could they dare to go up and fight against the ragged officers and soldiers?I immediately turned around and ran away.
The official army rushed to the crossroads, but they didn't even encounter any decent resistance on the road.
Suddenly, some civilians appeared on the street, and they ran out desperately in the chaos of war. Some of the people shouted: Kill the bandits, destroy their clans, and kill them!
Someone shouted again: Go to County Front Street, where the thieves' barracks are there, and they must go back to move treasures...
Wen Kui fled in with the defeated soldiers. Seeing that his troops were scattered and had lost control, he knew that the general situation suddenly went, so he wanted to escape from the city.
Fortunately, there were a group of servants and confidants around him, and Song He, the civil servant, followed him, and rushed to the north gate with the rest.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived in the north city, he met a gentry landlord with relatives, friends and servants blocking them with sticks and hatches.
A big man next to Wen Kui didn't answer, and called the group and rushed forward with his weapons.
These bandits were not useful in fighting the organizational government troops, but they had an advantage in fighting the same civilian armed forces. They were fiercer than ordinary people. After a brief fight, they dispersed the group of people. Wen Kui and others took the opportunity to ride out of the city.
Suddenly, two cavalry chased after him. The people around Wen Kui breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that it was not the official army's armor. Song He asked them: Which one do you belong to?
One of them replied: The villain is Ding’s subordinates, and the stallion is dead.Song He rode his horse and looked back at another person: I seem to have seen you...
The other man immediately pointed to the person next to him and said, "The young man is a craftsman. He didn't know him. When he met him on the street, he asked the young man to come here."
Everyone didn't care about much, so they went out of the city and fled all the way.
They didn't do much bad things at the beginning, but soon everyone found that there were no official constables here, and no one punished them; and those who had the power to kill themselves could be called brothers and talk about mercy.
Then, there were people who raped women, robbed families, and gradually killed people and set fires occasionally, but most of the people who committed crimes were fine; there were already many people in the army, and everyone was finally inspired to do whatever they wanted, and the crime of rape and looting began everywhere between the city and the countryside.
