Shandong.
Several puffs of smoke rushed outside Qingzhou City. Geng Bingwen led 13,000 soldiers and surrounded Qingzhou City in three groups. Although King Qi led his troops southward, Qingzhou City was still in King Qi's hands after all.
Geng Bingwen knew that the King of Qi had fought in the army in his early years and was quite capable. He thought that he had been running Qingzhou City for many years and it would not be easy to capture Qingzhou, so he mobilized the elites and reorganized them before launching a large army to Qingzhou City.
Tang Buping, the commander of the Security Bureau, was in the army. Seeing that Geng Bingwen had made arrangements, he took out his telescope and looked at the city wall of Qingzhou City, and said to Geng Bingwen: "The King of Qi went south, and I think he came out with all his elite. This is on the Qingzhou City Wall. , there are only a few sergeants, it does not seem to be heavily guarded, Geng Dusi might as well launch a large army to test it out."
Geng Bingwen glanced at Tang Buping coldly, and said disdainfully: "Tang Buping, remember, you are just the commander of the Security Bureau, not the military staff general or the general! How to march and fight, how to attack cities and forts? , has nothing to do with the Security Bureau, only has to do with me and the generals!"
Tang Buping looked gloomy. He didn't expect that Geng Bingwen had such a bad temper.
Thinking about it, most of the famous generals in the early days of Hongwu died, and so many dukes and marquises were blown away by wind and rain. The Marquis of Changxing was still fighting on the front line, so he was qualified to be arrogant.
The boss is dead, and Geng Bingwen becomes the boss.
Geng Bingwen, who had a high self-esteem, issued a military order: "Surround but don't attack, just wait for the situation to be weak."
Tang Buping was so angry that he stamped his feet. It's okay to surround but not fight, but now you are "surrounding three buildings and one". Not all four city gates are blocked. If there are remnants of soldiers who escape from the city, wouldn't it hurt more people? ?
Geng Bingwen didn't think so. The art of war said that a siege must be defended. We must give others some hope and not let them fall into despair. If they fight like this, they will not fight to the death without retreating and fight to the point of risking their lives.
They cannot put themselves to death if they have any hope of living.
Besides, no one knows what is going on in the city. If he attacks rashly and encounters rolling wood, thunder and stone crossbows, he will suffer a lot of losses. Wouldn't it damage his reputation?
As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger. You always need to send someone to investigate the truth.
Tang Buping, that stupid boy, knows how to fight hard. If it weren't for Zhu Yunwen's promotion, he would probably still be a top soldier. Now if he dares to speak nonsense in front of him and take off the security bureau's waistband, he will dare to chop off his head!
Tang Buping did not argue in the end. Geng Bingwen was not a general who charged into formation, but a defensive general. He was good at playing steadily and steadily. It was impossible for him to charge as soon as he got to a place and show off his sharp edge like Chang Yuchun and Li Wenzhong.
Moreover, the Security Bureau does not have the right to influence the actions of the generals and generals. The reason why Tang Buping stayed in the military camp was to write a report to Zhu Yunwen, and to transmit the general's intelligence and combat processes to the capital.
"Since Dusi wants to tell the truth, then let the Security Bureau be responsible."
Tang Buping took the initiative to ask for orders.
Geng Bingwen did not object this time. The Security Bureau was the people responsible for spying on intelligence and seeking information. They were experts in this field. It was better to use them than to use their own sergeants.
Even if the Security Bureau provides wrong intelligence, causing damage to the operation, the responsibility can be passed on to the Security Bureau afterwards.
Someone took the initiative to take the blame, but Geng Bingwen had no reason not to nod.
The reason why Tang Buping was so confident was not because he was looking for trouble, but because as early as two days ago, Pang Huan, a Qianhu of the Security Bureau, led people to sneak into Qingzhou City. Tang Buping believed in Pang Huan's methods and believed that he could get the most detailed information.
Inside Qingzhou City.
The departure of King Qi, the departure of the three guards and a group of migrant workers did not affect the construction of King Qi's mansion. They did not even know that King Qi had rebelled. Under the supervision of the same guards as usual, tens of thousands of migrant workers were responsible for their own work as usual.
Song Zhengchen was pushing a huge stone. Under the stone were horizontal logs. Several people pushed, and the stone slowly moved forward along the horizontal logs.
Supervisor Liu came over and shouted: "Song Zhengchen!"
Song Zhengchen straightened up, slapped his sore back, walked over to Supervisor Liu who waved to him, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Supervisor Liu chuckled and said, "If someone wants to see you, come with me."
Song Zhengchen felt uneasy and looked at the guards on both sides. He knew that things might have changed, but he had no choice but to follow him, one step at a time.
Entering Prince Qi's Mansion, bypassing the lotus pond and arriving at a pavilion.
In the pavilion, there was only one pure woman.
When Song Zhengchen arrived at the pavilion, Supervisor Liu retreated to a distance.
Guangxiu looked at Song Zhengchen and smiled sweetly: "Are you Song Zhengchen, the censor sent by the imperial court?"
"That's right!"
Song Zhengchen was full of righteousness.
Guangxiu looked at Song Zhengchen with admiration, nodded slightly, pointed to the box on the stone table, and said, "There are several gifts in here. I believe you will be interested. Open them and take a look."
Song Zhengchen hesitated for a moment, then took a step forward, opened the box and took a look. His face instantly turned pale. Inside was a blood-stained coat with writing on it!
Guangxiu turned around and looked at the decaying lotus flowers in the pond, and said: "The court officials are as pedantic as you, so they are dim and have no future. After all, we still need to rescue this vast world. .”
Song Zhengchen said nothing, only stared at Guangxiu's back, and slowly stretched his hand to the hem of his clothes.
"Have you never thought that the people are illiterate, and even if you write a letter in blood, they can't understand it? If you paint with blood to explain the affairs of Qingzhou, why do you have to suffer for so long? How can the people here be Slavery to this day?”
Guangxiu said softly.
Song Zhengchen was stunned. He had never thought about this!
At that time, they only focused on reporting changes in Qingzhou, but ignored the specific form.
You must know that few ordinary people are literate, and these clothes belong to dead people. Even if their family members find and see them, they will not take them out to ask people what the words are, but just throw them away. Go inside the Cenotaph.
My relationship has been suffering for so long, and I have suffered for so long, is it all because I am not enlightened?
Song Zhengchen felt his face burning. This was shame!
When doing things for an official, you should not only focus on the purpose, but also pay attention to the method and consider everything!
Guangxiu slowly turned around, looked at Song Zhengchen, and said: "Qingzhou City is about to change. You can choose to join the White Lotus Sect. I will ensure that you become a protector and occupy a high position. I will give you beautiful women, money, and all happiness in the world." ,how?"
"White Lotus Cult? Are you actually a White Lotus Cultist?!"
Song Zhengchen was extremely surprised.
This is Prince Qi's Mansion, and it is really unacceptable that there are people from the White Lotus Sect in Prince Qi's Mansion.
Guangxiu did not deny it, but said calmly: "Yes, I am a saint of the White Lotus Sect. As long as you join the White Lotus Sect, I can give you anything you want, including myself."
Song Zhengchen looked at Guang Xiu coldly and refused without hesitation: "Don't even think about it! I, Song Zhengchen, am the supervisory censor appointed by the imperial court and swear allegiance to the Ming Emperor to the death!"
Guangxiu didn't feel dissatisfied, and just said calmly: "If you don't accept it, there is only one way to die."
Song Zhengchen took a step forward and said loudly: "Then let the horse go!"
Guang Xiu waved his hand and said: "I am just a weak little girl, so naturally I can't kill you. But the same cannot be said for the people in this city..."
Song Zhengchen's eyes widened and he asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
"Since you want to die for the Ming Dynasty, then wear your official uniform."
Guangxiu took out the bloody clothes from the box. Underneath was a seventh-grade official uniform, which Song Zhengchen took with him when he entered Qingzhou, but was later taken away by people from Prince Qi's palace.
Although Song Zhengchen didn't understand what Guangxiu meant, he quickly put on his official uniform. As long as he proved that he was from the government and called the migrant workers and craftsmen to follow his orders when he arrived at the construction site, he would be able to rush out of Qingzhou City in one fell swoop!
This is your only chance!
Guangxiu looked at Song Zhengchen, with an evil smile on his lips, and whispered: "Now, Qingzhou City belongs to the White Lotus Sect. You are an official, you will die..."
Song Zhengchen's eyes widened, and just when he was about to speak, he heard a loud noise, followed by the earth trembling, like the sound of huge rocks falling to the ground!
"Being in the white lotus, I will not suffer any hardships. Brothers are united to welcome me, Maitreya. Kill corrupt officials and find a way to survive!"
"Kill corrupt officials and seek a way out!"
The sound was loud and resounded throughout the world.
The craftsmen holding chisels, migrant workers holding pickaxes, and handymen pulling ropes on the construction site were all holding their necks, releasing their suppressed anger and murderous intent.
The King of Qi will not give him a way to live, and the corrupt officials will not give him a way to live. They want us to die, so why can't we let them die first!
Kill corrupt officials and seek a way out!
As long as they are officials, they will be killed!
The migrant workers and craftsmen who were originally lambs finally became man-eating wolves, and destruction and killing became their attributes. The guard guard had no time to resist, so he fell into the crazy crowd. After the crowd dispersed, only the mutilated corpses were left!
The people with blood at the corners of their mouths began to destroy. Those beautifully built palaces, which were like heavenly creations, were destroyed, smashed, and burned by these people!
Years of construction were burned down!
This is not over yet. Mo'er, who is responsible for leading the White Lotus Sect uprising, led dozens of core believers and organized migrant workers and craftsmen to act in batches. One group captured the Qi Prince's Mansion, another group seized the Qingzhou Mansion Office, and the others controlled the four gates of Qingzhou!
King Qi took away most of the main force, and those left behind in Qingzhou were only the old, weak, sick and disabled, who were no match for these crazy people.
Huang Boming, the magistrate of Gyeongju, and Xu Yuan, a fellow magistrate, heard the commotion and wanted to defend the government office, but he forgot that what these people were holding were not swords and guns, but axes, hammers, and chisels. What wall couldn't be broken through? If it really doesn't work, there are ladders and ropes. What wall can't be climbed over?
After some chaos, Huang Boying, Xu Yuan and others who had been willing to be the lackeys of the King of Qi and oppressed the people were beaten to death, and their bodies were dragged out and hung at the entrance of the government office.
The door of Prince Qi's Mansion was also constantly hit by people, and the wooden door bolt began to break.
Standing on the roof of Prince Qi's Mansion, Pang Huan looked at the fireworks in Qingzhou City and the crazy people. He was frightened and murmured uneasily: "These people are crazy."
