Chapter 503: Is there any riots in Andongwei?

Xue Zhidie was busy with the construction of the sword-tooth ship, so he was so busy that he naturally had no intention of celebrating the festival. Since the Hu Ben Navy entered the Bohai Bay, the area of ​​the battlefield has expanded greatly. The original number of warships was not enough and he had to work day and night. Zhang Zhun asked someone to bring her a gift, which was considered to care for her subordinates.

Zhang Zhun hugged Zhang Hanlin and ate a few bites of mooncakes. While he was having fun, his good daughter gave him a big Mid-Autumn Festival gift and urinated without hesitation. Zhang Zhun, caught off guard, was naturally peeded, and his lower body was wet. He was amused and crying, and he opened his teeth and claws at the little girl in his arms, and finally lost in the crying.

Just as he was about to get up to change his clothes, Liu Rushi suddenly arrived, handed Zhang Zhun an emergency information, and whispered: "Master, this is an emergency report sent by Xia Hezhai."

Zhang Zhun browsed the information briefly and subconsciously said to himself: "Andongwei?"

He handed the doll in his arms to Ji Yuqing, changed his diapers, then patted his pants wet, and went to the study to study carefully. The information sent at this time was obviously an important matter. Indeed, the information was sent by Yin Fengyi, the commander of Minzi Camp stationed in front of Xiahezhai.

Yin Fengyi said in the information that civil strife broke out in Andongwei, not far from Xiahe Village. Local military households expelled the commander of Andongwei and implemented a policy of dividing land and land in Andongwei. There is no doubt that Andongwei's civil strife was influenced by the Hu Ben Army. The "Equal Field Order" issued by Zhang Zhun really touched too many people. As long as people with some courage dare to use the title of the Hu Ben Army to make trouble.

Andongwei is not very far from the front of Xiahe Village, and is closer to the East China Sea Middle Sea in the south. Both places are occupied by the Hu Ben Army, and both places have implemented the equal-field policy. It would be strange if the Andongwei military households are not moved. They can tolerate it until now that they have exploded, and the speed is already quite slow.

Since Andongwei is close to Yanzhou Prefecture, Yanzhou Prefecture is worried that the riots in Andongwei would affect them, so it decided to send troops to suppress them. This violated the secret agreement between Zhang Zhun and Zhu Dadian. At the beginning, Zhang Zhun and Zhu Dadian agreed that Qingzhou Prefecture existed as a demilitarized zone. In the jurisdiction of Qingzhou Prefecture, only the Ming army led by Song Degang could exist, and neither army on both sides could enter.

Now, the army of Yanzhou Prefecture entered Andongwei, which obviously violated this agreement. The Hu Ben Army must respond. The military households of Andongwei also sent people to the front of Xiahezhai for help, hoping that the Hu Ben Army could help them and fight for their legitimate rights and interests. Therefore, Yin Fengyi asked for instructions whether to take action against Andongwei.

"Do you think Zhu Dadian know about Yanzhou Prefecture?" Zhang Zhun said to himself.

"I'm afraid I don't know." Liu Rushi answered cautiously.

Zhang Zhun nodded thoughtfully.

The political situation in Shandong is actually quite complicated. It is too close to the capital, there are too many forces intertwined here, and there are too many people gathering here. There are mainly three major forces in Shandong. The first one is the governor of Shandong, the nominal boss. The second one is the governor of Denglai, the nominal second one. The third one is the Yanzhou Prefecture, but he is a real mistress.

Why do you say that? Because there is a Lu Palace in Yanzhou Prefecture. The power of the Lu Palace has always been much larger than that of the Heng Palace and the De Palace. To say that Heng and De King are both princes, then Lu is the prince. Zhang Zhun did not study much about the history of the Ming Dynasty's vassal kings, but he knew very clearly that the power of the King of Lu was very powerful in Yanzhou Prefecture. The small Ming Dynasty in Taiwan established in the future was the King of Lu. The current Lu King should be Zhu Shouyou.

Because King Lu is powerful and almost covers the sky in Yanzhou Prefecture, officials of Yanzhou Prefecture are not very convinced by the various instructions of Jinan Prefecture. Under normal circumstances, the Shandong Governor will not pay too much attention to the matter of Yanzhou Prefecture, as long as everyone can pass it openly, so as not to be reported by the King of Lu. In this way, the only areas that the Shandong Governor can truly manage are Jinan Prefecture, Qingzhou Prefecture and Dongchang Prefecture. Speaking of which, this Shandong Governor is really depressed, and only has the few places of the three prefectures. Moreover, Qingzhou Prefecture has been infiltrated by Zhang Zhun.

The one who decided to send troops to Andongwei this time was Li Maofang, the governor of Yanzhou Prefecture, and the other who led the troops to Andongwei was another Shandong general Ni Chong. The Ming army had a force of about 5,000 people. Most of them were war soldiers, and a small number were guard soldiers.

Speaking of Li Maofang, there is still a story. Originally, if Zhang Zhun had not arrived, history would have developed according to the original track. Yang Yipeng, the governor of the grain transport and the governor of Fengyang, would have been killed, and Zhu Dadian took over the position of governor of the grain transport, while Li Maofang would have taken over as governor of Shandong. Now, due to Zhang Zhun's arrival, Yang Yipeng's life and position were saved, and Zhu Dadian had no chance to be promoted. Naturally, Li Maofang continued to stay in the position of the prefect of Yanzhou Prefecture.

Generally, the prefects are all fourth-ranked, and the prefects of Jinan Prefecture are also fourth-ranked, with the exception of Yanzhou Prefecture, which is from the third-ranked. Therefore, Li Maofang's status seems a bit special. Some people even call it a semi-councillor, which means half of the governor of Shandong. According to folk legend, Shandong has two and a half-councillors, and this half is the prefect of Yanzhou Prefecture.

As for the Shandong general Ni Chong, like Liu Zeqing, they were one of the three generals. With Song Degang, there are now four generals in Shandong. In the past, there were only one general in each province, and even less than one, but now there are several generals in each province. The Liaodong front line is even a large group of generals. The title of general is already a mess. Well, Zhang Zhun is now also a general in Dongjiang Town.

When Zhu Dadian led his army to harass Zhang Zhun that day, Ni Chong was also in the battle sequence of the Ming army, but the Hu Ben Army was not very concerned about him because his combat command level was not as good as Liu Zeqing. This time, Ni Chong led his troops to suppress the rebellion of Andongwei, probably because he did not expect the Hu Ben Army to intervene. Otherwise, he would not dare to come if he gave him a water tank as a courage.

"Since Zhu Dadian doesn't know, we don't know either. Let Yin Fengyi deal with it by himself." Zhang Zhun said as if nothing had happened.

"Master...you mean..." Liu Rushi said cautiously.

"Of course we can't stand by if someone violates the agreement. However, if there are small things, there is no need for us to mobilize all the people. Let's talk about it when things are big." Zhang Zhun said without doubt.

"I understand." Liu Rushi said hurriedly.

Zhang Zhun's intention was naturally to ask Yin Fengyi to interfere. Yanzhou Prefecture sent troops into Qingzhou Prefecture, and our Hu Ben Army would of course also send troops into Qingzhou Prefecture. No matter what else, let's talk about the other things. The Ming army brought by Ni Chong was all cleaned up by the Hu Ben Army, and there was a psychological shadow. When you meet the Hu Ben Army, you will definitely not be arrogant. Anyway, when things get bigger, everyone will sit down and talk slowly.

In fact, Zhang Zhun was moved by Andongwei for a long time, but he had no chance. The location of Andongwei is quite special. He communicated the relationship between Nanzhili and Shandong Peninsula. Whether it is from Yanzhou Prefecture to enter Shandong Peninsula, or from Nanzhili to Shandong Peninsula, he has to pass through Andongwei. On the other hand, if Zhang Zhun wants to go out of Shandong Peninsula, he also needs to pass here.

For this reason, the Andongwei has always been a place where military strategists must fight. In addition to the frequent wars broke out here in ancient times, modern times are no exception. In the last three months of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese invaders once attacked the Andongwei crazily, but were defeated by a company of the Eighth Route Army. After the war, there were a total of 142 Eighth Route Army, with only a dozen people surviving. The Japanese invaders and the puppet army were wiped out in total. A company named after "Andongwei" later became Pla's ace mechanized unit (under the 38th Army). Zhang Zhun, in his previous life, had a confrontation with this unit and knew a little bit about their history.

When Andongwei was first established, its status was as important as Weihaiwei and Tianjinwei. It was registered in the imperial court and belonged to the garrison that needed key care. The meaning of this key care was that people, materials and staffing were treated differently. Even when it comes to allocating money and grain, it was given priority.

Because of its important strategic position, the Anton Guard has a special setting. Other garrisons have five thousand households, each with 1,120 military households, which adds about 5,600 people. The Anton Guard has a special organization. The Anton Guard also has five thousand households, but the Anton Guard has a total of 1,820 military households, which adds more than 9,000 people. It is more than half of the more than other garrisons.

As the number of military households increased greatly, the number of families carried by the army naturally increased greatly, and the population reproduction was faster than that of other garrisons. So far, the population of the entire Andong garrison has exceeded 150,000. The surrounding counties such as Ju (ju) South, Rizhao, Ganyu and other counties are completely incomparable to it.

It is precisely because of this that once there is a riot in Andongwei, it will easily affect other areas. The number of local military households is too large. Strictly speaking, these military households are all soldiers and can kill people by taking up weapons. If they seem to flood the surrounding counties, the surrounding counties will suffer a lot. No wonder Yanzhou Prefecture reacted so violently. It is obvious that they are worried that these wandering military households will enter Yanzhou Prefecture.

There was a lesson in the uprising of the Scent of Incense. Now Yanzhou Prefecture is quite sensitive to refugees. The two uprisings of the Scent of Incense have swept a large number of refugees, and the momentum is amazing. They are so sensitive to refugees, let alone wandering military households. Why is the Shaanxi chaos army so difficult to exterminate is because they are not just peasants, but border troops. Gao Yingxiang's subordinates have many soldiers from around them and understand basic military knowledge. Many of them are good at fighting wars, and some even know military training. They are definitely not farmers who don't know anything.

"Master, do we want to occupy Andongwei?" Liu Rushi asked softly.

"Occupy? It's not the time yet." Zhang Zhun said slowly.

From a geographical point of view, controlling Andongwei is definitely beneficial to Zhang Zhun. First of all, the distance between Xiahezhai and Donghai Zhongsuo further narrows. If there is any accident at sea, immediate reinforcements can be provided on land. At the same time, after controlling Andongwei, Rizhao and Ganyu counties on both sides were basically within the control of the Hu Ben Army. In other words, controlling Andongwei is equivalent to controlling the entire southern area of ​​Qingzhou Prefecture.

The characteristic of Qingzhou Prefecture is that it is divided between the north and the south. The connection between the south and the north is relatively thin. The central part of Qingzhou Prefecture is mountainous areas, and the roads are not smooth. If you want to know the situation of these mountainous areas, you can tell by looking at the names of the mountains. Qushan, Moushan, Fangshan, Baoshan, Daxian Mountain, Jiwu Mountain, Changshan, Changshan, Maer Mountain... countless, countless. The top of Daxian Mountain (i.e. Yishan) in the middle is more than 1,000 meters above sea level.

The focus of Qingzhou Prefecture's rule has always been in Qingzhou City, Le'an, Linzi, Boxing, Gaoyuan and other places in the north. Rizhao, Junan, Zhucheng, Mengyin and other counties in the south, and the relationship with Yanzhou Prefecture is more intimate. Yanzhou Prefecture is also willing to extend its tentacles to the south of Qingzhou Prefecture to obtain benefits. Therefore, there is a reason why Yanzhou Prefecture reacted so quickly in this turmoil in Andongwei.

If the Tartars had not arrived, Zhang Zhun's next plan was actually to control Andongwei. However, after the Tartars arrived, Zhang Zhun's plan was temporarily stranded. Because the current use of troops in the Tiger Army was a little nervous. The ten infantry battalions were all one carrot and one pit. Two of the three cavalry battalions had to monitor the movements in Dengzhou City, and one had to deal with the Winter Sect at any time. They could not free up too much troops to attack Andongwei.

To control the Andongwei, Zhang Zhun could only dispatch the troops near the Minzi Camp stationed in front of Xiahezhai. The commander of the Minzi Camp is Yin Fengyi, who is under the jurisdiction of two associations, with a total of about 600 people. Is it enough to attack the Andongwei with a force of 600? Enough! The key is how to settle the situation afterwards. If you break up with the court because of this matter, the Hu Ben Army will be attacked from both sides.

Strictly speaking, the entry of the Hu Ben Army into Andongwei marked that Zhang Zhun would openly tear up the edict again. The secret agreement between him and Zhu Dadian could not be put on the table, but the edict from the court was announced to the world. Since Zhang Zhun accepted the edict, he should pay attention to his credibility. Nowadays, credibility is indeed not worth much money, but if it is not necessary, it is better not to openly trample on the credibility. It must be known that credibility is easy to destroy, but it is difficult to build!
