Chapter 777： Reasons for rebellion

The Ming Dynasty's suppression of the rebellion this time makes sense to mobilize 130,000 troops. Because, the Tong nationality (Zhuang nationality) who launched the uprising was the main source of the Ming Ming wolf soldiers.

As the main source of wolf soldiers, the warriors of child clan warriors are naturally more powerful. Although it is not as good as the authentic Wolf Soldier, it is almost the same. Therefore, despite the uprisings of Ma Ping and Luo Rong, the number of the rebel army is only 10,000 or 20,000, and there are still many old and weak. But after all, these people are the same family of wolf soldiers, and their fighting power is definitely far more than the same number of Ming Dynasty guards. Therefore, the courts paid great attention to this battle.

After arriving in Wuzhou, where the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Chen Jin immediately mobilized soldiers and horses to Liuzhou, where the rebellion was located.

At that time, the residence of Liuzhou Prefecture was Maping County, not Liucheng. In other words, a large-scale uprising broke out at the Liuzhou Prefecture. Up to now, the county town of Maping, where Liuzhou government is located, is still surrounded by the uprising army.

The uprising was actually caused by the Liuzhou government's oppression of the local children and the Yao minority. Of course, there are also provocations by the Yao people.

For example, in this uprising, the leader of the Tong clan uprising is Huang Wenlong, which is nothing. The Yao Nationality Uprising Army, who echoed the Tongmin Uprising, was named Zheng Yunhu. He was the cousin of Zheng Ang, the remnant leader of the Hou Dagou Yi Army in the first year of Chenghua. After the failure of the Datengxia Uprising led by Hou Dagoo, Zheng Ang and Hu Gong returned to lead the Yaomin Uprising and insisted that it failed until Chenghua eight years (1472).

After the failure, Zheng Ang and Hu Gong returned to the surviving descendants and relatives and fled into the mountains to hide. Zheng Yunhu, Zheng Ang's nephew, fled to the countryside in Liuzhou Prefecture, north of Dateng Gorge. When he escaped from Dateng Gorge, Zheng Yunhu was a child. But now, more than three decades later, Zheng Yunhu is already middle-aged.

Originally, the local young people in Liuzhou did not plan to revolt. The cause of the incident was only that the officials of Liuzhou Prefecture went to the countryside to collect taxes. As a result, a widow in Tongzhai could n’t afford the taxes and was scared by the officials, he hanged himself ...

Under normal circumstances, the Tongzhai people went to the Guan Mansion and went away. But Zheng Yunhu, who was a remnant of Datou Gorge and was hiding in the vicinity, saw the opportunity. He took people in the name of revenge, dressed in the clothes of the children, and killed the officials who went to the countryside to collect taxes ...

At this time, the horse honeycomb was stabbed. The Ming dynasty pursued imperialism and looked down upon other ethnic groups. Now that the Han official is actually being killed by the "barbarians" in the Shaomin village, is this not a provocation to the court?

As a result, Liuzhou House sentenced Sang Yue to take charge of the litigation of a house, so he sent a large number of government officials to Tongzhai to order the other party to hand over the murderer. However, this matter was not done by the Tongzhai people at all. Where did they go?

Just when the two sides stalemate, Zheng Yunhu took a group of Yao people to kill them, in the name of the rescue of Tongzhai brothers, killed the government office, and successfully dragged Tongzhai into the water.

After hearing the news, Liuzhou House immediately mobilized the brigade to Tongzhai, but it was still a step late-Zheng Yunhu had called a nearby Tongzhai rally to discuss a plan to rebel ...

Tong Min was already brave and faced the hundreds of soldiers and horses transferred by the government to fight back easily. Later, many local Tongzhai jointly elected Huang Wenlong, the most prestigious hunter among the Tongmin, as the leader of the 72 Tongzhai, with more than 10,000 soldiers, and officially launched the uprising. And Zheng Yunhu also took the opportunity to gather two or three thousand Yao people nearby and joined the uprising army.

Tens of thousands of insurgents rushed to Maping County where Liuzhou Prefecture was located and surrounded them. It is a pity that there is Liuzhou Wei in Maping County. When the rebel army was busy gathering the soldiers and horses of the villages, Liuzhouwei's 5,000 soldiers and horses withdrew from the surroundings to the county town of Maping and concentrated on defending the city.

The soldiers of the Liuzhou Guardian's Guard House were originally the Border Guard House, and their combat effectiveness remained good. If it is in the wild, it has been easily defeated by the Tongmin Uprising.

However, this time they were guarding the city. Therefore, despite the disadvantaged numbers, the guards of Liuzhouwei were able to withstand the joint uprising forces of Tong and Yao. This is mainly because the barbarians composed of these child and Yao people are good at fighting in the wild and in the forest, but they are not proficient in siege. Coupled with Liuzhou Wei in Maping County, they failed to break Maping County.

At first glance, Huang Wenlong and Zheng Yunhu did not work, so they moved to Luorong County on the edge of Maping County and broke through Luorong County, killed officials in the city, and used it as the base camp of the rebel army.

Things are going wrong now ...

If the insurgents were only rampant in the countryside, they were regarded by the imperial court as gangsters at most, and they might have the local army officers mobilize the soldiers and horses of the nearby guards to encircle and suppress.

However, by occupying the county and killing the imperial court officer, this is how Hong Guoguo hit the imperial court in the face. If it does not die, it will damage the majesty of the court ...

Therefore, after urgent discussions, the Ming Dynasty sent Chen Jin, who had the experience of suppressing Meng Yang Tusi Silu in Yunnan, as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and the wolf soldiers, to jointly suppress the Tongmin who dare to fight the court. , Yaomin Uprising ...

However, Guangxi was a remote and barren region in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and its economy was very poor. But Guangdong, next door, because of the tribute trade, is a place with sufficient taxes.

Therefore, the court gave Chen Jin the post of Guangdong governor, which was to give Chen Jin the right to go to the richer Guangdong to prepare the money needed for the army's expedition.

In order to make up for the food and grass needed by the 130,000 army, Chen Jinzhu asked to retain more than 200,000 silver stocks that the imperial court originally planned to collect from Guangdong and Guangxi as military expenses for the 130,000 army.

It was during the period that Guangdong raised the money needed for 130,000 troops that Chen Jin accidentally went to watch the teaching of the use of the Beihai country's Frang machine gun and matchlock ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Then, the Beihai country's Frang machine gun and matchline The gun left a very deep impression on Chen Jin. It was also at that time that Kong Tai sent him 10 Fran cannons and 100 matchlocks.

Originally, under normal circumstances, Chen Jin would never receive a gift from an unknown ghost. However, this time Chen Jin was in charge of the uprising of the Tongmin and Yaomin, and he naturally hoped that the stronger the army, the better.

Moreover, the fighting power of the Tong Nationality Uprising Army is similar to the wolf soldiers attached to the court. In order to be safe, Chen Jin naturally hoped that the stronger the army of the court, the better. Therefore, he simply accepted Kong Tai's gift, and also specially used the opportunity of the decision-making power in his hand to open a back door for Kong Tai ...

And this time to suppress the uprisings of the Tongmin and Yaomin, these batches of Frang machine guns and matchlock guns were also used by Chen Jin in the Governor's personal barracks. In order to make better use of these guns, Chen Jinte specially transferred the veterans transferred from Guangzhou avant-garde who learned the operation methods of the Franco cannon and matchlock gun from the Beihai State gunners and musketeers to carry out for their own soldiers. Use training.

In order to make better use of these Franco machine guns and matchlock guns, Chen Jinte specially selected a group of experienced artillery and three-eyed gunmen from the army to receive training on the use of Francon machine guns and matchlock guns. Sure enough, these good gunners and gunners quickly learned how to use Franco guns and matchlock guns, and were ready to fight the Tongmin and Yaomin uprising ...
