Chapter 252

Seeing so many mobs making trouble, whether Chen YingYuan or Deng Bingwen, they were all flustered. The civil unrest aroused spread to the imperial court. They would certainly be cut down by the imperial court to calm the people's anger.

So they urgently mobilized the troops in the city for defense, and sent troops out of the city to drive away the mud legs who came to besiege the city.

They know that as long as the leaders are driven away or caught and killed, these mobs will disperse naturally.

Who knows, when Niu Wenming, a thousand families in Penglai, led hundreds of soldiers to rush out and was ready to drive away the people, he was shot in the head and died on the spot. Hundreds of soldiers who rushed out of the city also fell into the siege of tens of thousands of people and were killed alive.

The nature of this has changed. This is not a popular uprising, but a rebellion. Chen YingYuan has been ruthlessly squeezed, and even the soldiers in the guard station can't live. Many people have responded to Zhang Ergou's call to resist taxes and protect their lives, joined the people's team, and surrounded Penglai County. They are preparing a ladder and preparing to attack the city.

At this moment, Chen YingYuan was completely frightened and ordered his messenger to rush out of the siege and ask for help everywhere.

What's more, the troops in Denglai town were originally very strong. It was a matter of one word to calm these rioters. But just when they dispatched thousands of troops to Jinan for support, even the navy of Zheng Zongbing of Shuicheng went to the south to escort food. It happened that when their troops were so empty, the mobs made trouble, They have no available soldiers at all.

When Chen YingYuan found that there were no adjustable soldiers at all, he felt afraid, and he could not imagine that the people were so docile. Once they made a noise, they were as fierce as lions and tigers and wanted to eat people. Looking at the crowded mobs under the city, they were full of heads and evil spirits, shouting the slogan: "resist taxes, protect life and kill the treacherous Minister Chen YingYuan", It scared them.

Chen Dingyuan studied hard for ten years and became an official once he was named on the golden list. He has always regarded himself as an orthodox scholar official and official. He is determined to calm the troubles of the world for his majesty. When he retires, he also retires as a generation of famous officials. He knows that the popular uprising has been aroused under his rule, and he has also become a traitor to the people, All the people shouted the slogan of killing Chen Dingyuan. Chen YingYuan was sad and afraid.

Chen YingYuan was thinking, there is no way for me. The Ming Dynasty has been captured and the ancestral tombs have been planed. At this time, I don't go all out and try my best to work for the emperor to protect the Ming Dynasty. When will I wait? There are people only when there is Daming. What should the people do when Daming is dead? Why don't you understand me?

Looking at the mobs under the city, men, women, old and young, ferocious and crazy, Chen YingYuan and Deng Bingwen immediately issued orders to ask Liu Yuanqiao and Fang Ruo who were nearby to assemble troops to help them.

The people under the city are angry and angry. Once they break through Penglai County, they will be finished.

Chen YingYuan trembled with anger. He said, "governor Deng, look at what you did, it actually aroused popular uprising?"

Deng Bingwen is also very afraid. He also knows that if the mob rushes into the city, he will only die. Now the people have given him a nickname, called Deng pickpocketing. Even if the civil uprising is calmed down, how to explain to the court is a troublesome thing. How much does it cost? This time, it must be done in vain.

However, in the face of the governor's accusation, he didn't back this evil. He said: "it's not the lower official who provoked the civil commotion, but the governor. If you didn't order the early collection of liaoxiang and Lianxiang, why can't the people live and rise up, and the lower official will certainly impeach the adult."

Hearing what Deng Bingwen said, Chen YingYuan was so angry that he asked Chen YingYuan to resign. The news that Fengyang had been broken came, and he would not think of a way to deal with it for a while. Deng Bingwen gave him such an idea to turn defeat into victory and turn the situation around. Deng Bingwen, whom he had always admired a few days ago, Think this is a loyal person, give advice for him and make a successful turnaround.

Who knows that they have caused great trouble and provoked a popular uprising. It is an indelible stain on any official's post. No matter who has such comments on provoking a popular uprising in his post, it is impossible to be promoted and retire safely.

He said angrily, "you suggested all this. I didn't expect you to push it all at the moment."

At this moment, Deng Bingwen was not afraid. He knew that if the crime of provoking civil commotion was put on his head, he would have to be escorted to Beijing and beheaded at the mouth of the vegetable market. He said, "are you the governor or am I the governor? Without the nod of the governor, the lower officials can do this kind of thing. After the accident, you want to push everything to the lower officials?"

At this time, instead of trying to defend the city or drive away the mobs outside the city, they tried to pass the buck to each other.

They can't help it now. The soldiers who just got to Dengzhou have been transferred away, and the rest are soldiers of the guard station. It's useful for these guards to bully the people at ordinary times, but after successfully arousing the people's anger, the people rise up, and they don't dare to come out and show their teeth and claws. For example, the cattle civilization out of the city is a typical example, Usually, he was vicious, but as soon as he got out of the city, he was killed, and all his soldiers dispersed in a mass, either escaping or being killed by the people, which made other guards tremble.

Why are these people so fierce when they make trouble? In the past, everyone was as docile as a sheep, but now they are like wolves and tigers.

This is not the key to the problem. The key is that many soldiers' families have also been urged to collect two taxes. They are also angry and full of complaints. It is said that many soldiers take off their clothes and join the ranks of tax resistance. This makes them want to organize the strong people in the city to defend the city. They can't summon enough people, so they have to send their own servants.

Because the people in the city have also suffered from the cruelty of tax officials. Now they have aroused a civil commotion, but they want to take them to block the knife. No people will agree.

Facing such a dilemma, Chen YingYuan and Deng Bingwen were helpless. Of course, they didn't dare to fall asleep and were trying to deal with it.

Deng Bingwen's master said, "Dong Weng, you should blame the governor for provoking the civil commotion anyway, otherwise you will be dead."

Deng Bingwen said, "I naturally understand that this is the letter I wrote to impeach Chen YingYuan for beating the bones and sucking the marrow of the people and provoking civil commotion."

He said he would do it. He immediately took the fold and wrote down the memorial. When the memorial was just handed in, he heard the startling cry and call at night.

Some people shouted, "the city is broken!" then the Gong continued, the whole quiet city became noisy, and the people shouted one after another, and suddenly blew up.

Beijing city.

Shoufu Wen Tiren has had a very difficult time recently. Since the Fengyang was broken on the 15th of the first month, he has been severely condemned by the emperor. Although the emperor did not remove him, he also removed his two deputies, which gave him a great warning and criticized him. Such a day also made Wen Tiren very afraid and frightened.

He has ordered generals everywhere to go all out to recover Zhongdu at all costs, but it's hard to say how effective these orders will be if they continue.

Last year, they successfully surrounded the main force of the roving bandits in the area of Chaixia, Shaanxi, and saw that they were about to win. Who knows, Chen Qiyu credulously believed the other party's surrender and relaxed his vigilance. As a result, the other party escaped, and the good situation was destroyed.

Last year's good situation was destroyed. Now, in the face of a dangerous situation, he doesn't know what to do, nor whether Hong Chengchou and his people will destroy the roving bandits as he wants.

At this time, an urgent war report came from the general administration department. The urgent war report was written by Liu Yuanqiao, the governor of Laizhou. The content on it was quite shocking.

It means that governor Ying yuan and Deng Bingwen, the governor of Dengzhou Prefecture, collected taxes at the local level, which aroused a popular uprising. Hundreds of thousands of mobs in seven counties of Dengzhou Prefecture rose up and besieged Penglai county. They captured Penglai County, killed Governor Chen YingYuan, Deng Bingwen and hundreds of thousands of mobs. They rioted according to the seven counties of Dengzhou.

Although there was no civil commotion in Laizhou Prefecture, people were terrified and worried. They entered a state of emergency. He wrote to the imperial court. First, he reported the emergency war report, and second, he asked the imperial court to send troops to calm the chaos.

I saw such war reports. Wen Tiren heard a buzzing sound in his head, which was the feeling that 10000 grass mud horses roared past.

Dengzhou again, there was another rebellion.

It was only more than a year since the last Wuqiao mutiny. Hundreds of thousands of mobs occupied Dengzhou city and killed the governor and prefect.

Wen Tiren hasn't made up his mind yet. He has received the emergency war report from the Ministry of war. This is because Liu Yuanqiao not only reported to the cabinet, but also to the Ministry of war.

Even if Wen Ti Ren is confident and steady, he feels confused and completely confused now.

Fengyang, the capital of China, was only broken, and there was another popular uprising in Denglai, an important town. Bad things were one after another.

There is no need to explain the status of Zhongdu, and the status of Dengzhou is also quite high. You know, since the north section of the canal freezes, the food of the imperial court can only be transported along the coastline. If the rebels cut off their coastline, they can't transport food into the capital at any time.

The situation is extremely serious.
