By the beginning of April in the twelfth year of Hongwu's reign, all counterrevolutionaries in Shandong had been captured by the Shandong law enforcement team.
All the people related to them and those who were commissioned by them to spread rumors were also dug out.
In order to atone for their sins, the Shandong Tianwang Army group used all their strength after the mole was found out, running around, arresting those who spread rumors, and killing all those who could be traced, vowing to uproot them. From now on, no residue will be left behind.
Regarding this counter-revolutionary conspiracy and mutiny of an extremely egregious nature, all officials and Fuxing members in Shandong did not dare to slack off at all and decided to investigate the matter to the end, no matter what the provincial orders were, no matter the cost. Finish.
No matter the cost.
Under their frenzied arrests at all costs, more than 500 people had been arrested in less than half a month.
Su Yonglin did not pay attention to the arrest and left it to the relevant departments. He went to Yizhou, Mizhou and Yidu Prefecture to conduct planned inspections and meet with farmers and workers. Chat to calm their mood.
The public sentiment in these three places far exceeded the public sentiment in Jinan. When the joint law enforcement team went to arrest the person, some local people resisted desperately and even called on the people to take up arms to protect him.
For example, Zhang Ming, the governor of Yizhou, was preparing for an armed rebellion at that time.
When Su Yonglin arrived in Jinan, Zhang Ming was actually very nervous. He realized that there was not much time left for him, so he urgently contacted the militia armed organizations in his subordinate counties and prepared to call on them to attack Zhongdu and "fight for Su Yonglin."
The local militia organizations in the Ming Dynasty were all established based on the former villages, townships and current collective farms, and were managed by the branches of the Renaissance Association of the past villages, townships and current collective farms.
The young and strong farmers on the farm spent two months during the slack period to receive military training. Basically, they were trained by retired soldiers and officers from the Ming army.
The militia system stops at the county level. The Renaissance Association branch above the state capital has no authority to manage the militia. The county militia brigade directly obeys the orders of the Military Department of the Central Capital Renaissance Association.
The collective farm revival society branch and the county revival society branch have internal militia divisions, which are responsible for the management of militia. The collective farm level is the militia squadron, and the county level is the militia brigade, which serves as the reserve military force of the entire Ming Dynasty.
The government system does not have the authority to manage the militia system, and the militia system is not used daily. Only in special periods will the Central Military Department order actions to cooperate with the army or the government to complete some major tasks.
However, as a reserve military force that can truly be relied on, if Zhang Ming wants to launch military operations, he must get the help of the militia.
He does not have this authority, but in "special times", he can always think of some special methods.
He bypassed the Fuxing Association branches in each county and directly contacted the militia directors of the Fuxing Association in each county outside of his authority. He told them that the Yizhou Fuxing Association had become the lackeys of the nine-man group in Zhongdu. They could not believe it and they needed to immediately He launched an uprising against Zhongdu and rescued Su Yonglin.
He does not have the power or qualifications to impose orders, so he plays the emotional and revolutionary cards.
He disguised himself as someone who cared about the country and the people and was the only sober person. He told the militia chiefs of Fei County, Linyi County, and Cangshan County that the Ming Dynasty had reached its most dangerous time and that the Ming Dynasty had reached a critical moment of life and death. They You must stand up!
bring it on! Fight with me!
Attack Zhongdu! Rescue Su Yonglin! Qingjun side!
Although Song Mao, director of the Yizhou Renaissance Society branch, does not have management authority over the militia system, he has a good personal relationship with Han Pu, the director of the Linyi County Militia Department.
Han Pu had doubts about Zhang Ming's persuasion and felt that the problem was not small. He did not dare to make a decision, so he asked Song Mao what was going on and how to deal with it.
Song Mao was shocked when he learned about this. He felt that Zhang Ming was too nervous and therefore made a misjudgment.
In the current tense situation, Zhang Ming's doing this is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.
He hurried to Zhang Ming's official office with Han Pu and asked him to calm down and stop messing around in front of Han Pu.
The Renaissance can still be trusted. They are all revolutionaries, not traitors. No one knows what happened in Zhongdu. But at this time of panic, the most important thing to do is not to riot with force, but to wait for Su Yonglin to come. .
"The chairman is already going to Shandong. Just wait, things will always turn around."
At that time, Song Mao was worried about the turbulent public sentiment. He had no idea that Zhang Ming was one of the instigators. He was unprepared when he went to dissuade Zhang Ming. The same was true for Han Pu. He was unprepared and had no idea what Zhang Ming wanted to do. .
Zhang Ming saw that the two people did not want to get into trouble and were not deceived, which became his obstacle. His heart was filled with anger, and he thought about not doing anything, so he suddenly pulled out his sword and killed them both with two swords.
Song Mao and Han Pu were unprepared and were stabbed to death by Zhang Ming on the spot. Their blood flowed all over the ground and they died with their eyes open.
Next, after Zhang Ming calmly calculated, he quickly rushed to the Linyi County Militia Office and announced the death of the two people in front of everyone inside, directly claiming that Song Mao and Han Pu were the lackeys of the Zhongdu Nine-member Group. Come to assassinate him, but he kills you in return.
"Now that I am coming to Shandong, I am not the chairman at all. Everything is just a pretense. The team of lackeys who are ready to harm the people are ready. We are militiamen. We must stand up to protect the results of so many years of struggle and protect what we have worked so hard for. everything!"
Zhang Ming raised his arms and shouted: "Everyone unite! Down with all the lackeys who conspire to rebel! Go to Zhongdu! Go to Zhongdu! Go to Zhongdu!"
Zhang Ming's passionate performance destroyed the rational valve in the hearts of all the remaining cadres in the Militia Department.
All their senses were burned away by the flames of fear and suspicion, and they shouted together, without continuing to doubt whether Zhang Ming was the so-called defender he claimed to be.
They dispersed in all directions, preparing to summon the militias from each collective farm to complete their war preparations and prepare for battle.
They have a strong sense of mission and can no longer judge whether what they are doing is right or wrong.
Zhang Ming went a step further and led his men into the Yizhou Renaissance Association branch and the Linyi County Renaissance Association branch, using force to control these two organizations, claiming that they were all lackeys and traitors.
The cadres who were angry at his behavior reprimanded him, but he killed them all.
For example, Tang Ze, deputy director of the Yizhou Renaissance Association, was shocked and angry by Zhang Ming's behavior and angrily accused Zhang Ming of having bad intentions.
"As the governor of Yizhou, your authority does not lie here! Why did you break into the Fuxing Society branch armed with weapons?"
Without saying a word, Zhang Ming walked up to Tang Ze and stabbed him through the body.
Tang Ze fell down with shock on his face and became motionless.
"At this critical moment, anyone who deceives people is a lackey of the thieves in Zhongdu! We must give up all illusions, not be hindered by anyone, and fight to Zhongdu to rescue the chairman! This is the most important thing we should do!"
He chanted slogans.
Those who complied with him were accepted by him, and those who opposed him were killed without mercy.
Dai Bin, deputy director of the Linyi County Renaissance Society branch, questioned Zhang Ming's actions and was killed by Zhang Ming with a knife.
Chen Zhien, director of the Linyi County Renaissance Organization Department, angrily accused Zhang Ming of killing innocent people indiscriminately, and was killed by Zhang Ming with a knife.
Even those who survived did not dare to speak, even if they had doubts about him. They were collectively silent and speechless.
"Traitor! How dare you bark in front of me!"
After the deaths of Dai Bin and Chen Zhien, the resistance of the local Renaissance branch ended. In just one day, Zhang Ming destroyed both levels of the Renaissance branch and killed five important leaders.
He took control of the militia system of a county in the shortest time. If given some more time, he could really control the militia of a state and command an armed force of more than a thousand people to start his journey.
With the support of rumors, everything seemed so chaotic and chaotic. Things that can be solved with a phone call in modern society have caused huge waves in counties and counties in a state.
He looked like he was out of control.
The lack of information gives careerists and rebels an excellent opportunity to operate, causing an imbalance between their rebellion and the resistance of rational forces.
The only good thing is that the joint law enforcement team sent by Su Yonglin arrived relatively quickly.
During the gap period when Zhang Ming sent out to summon the militia teams from various collective farms to gather for combat preparations, the joint law enforcement team detected the chaotic situation in Yizhou in advance and made some analysis.
Subsequently, the commander leading the team decided to rush directly into Linyi City without making any announcement, catching Zhang Ming by surprise.
