After destroying this seemingly powerful rioters, the next process of quelling the rebellion was to enter a garbage time that was escaping while sang wildly.

Often, when the flags of the Imperial Camp Army appeared, those scattered soldiers who were busy robbing nearby villages and towns would go to Shaolin salutes or drill into the villages and towns in a daze. They were then swept out again, and some tricks were taken.

Fortunately, the skin color and appearance of the locals are still very different, so it is easy to search out the people in the cattle shed and corral on the ridges of the ditches and fields.

I chased the city of Taiping Prefecture, located not far from the Yangtze River, and then I had a slight hinderment. Because most of the local chaotic troops scattered into the urban neighborhoods, although the resistance to group resistance was small, it would take some effort and time to search and clear it.

At this time, we also had to camp outside the city gate and torture the prisoners nearby, so that there would be no reason for the riots.

But then, based on the successive confessions of these prisoners, the reason for this mutiny was very simple and speechless, but the origin behind it was so complicated that it was thought-provoking.

They were originally from the West Road, one of the three Annan Roads, and the Xichan Prefecture stationed in the border areas. Most of them came from the descendants of local naturalized people and the slaves of the vassal states, while the officers mainly came from native Chinese people from nearby colonial cities.

Therefore, although it is called the vassal army, its equipment training is still higher than the basic level of most garrison troops. It has always been known for its hard work and is very good at fighting in the mountains. Therefore, this time, there were about seven camps, which were transported several times from the sea to Jiangnan, and they also had some expectations and promises.

When they arrived at Songjiang Port in Liangzhe, due to the hard work and illness during the sea, the battalions and regiments suffered varying degrees of staff reduction. Therefore, the injured and sick were left to cultivate on the spot, and the remaining troops were allowed to turn northwest and continue to march towards Jiangdong Road on foot. Finally, they arrived on the edge of the Yangtze River, and most of them were exhausted and complained.

After a long journey and exhausted rushing, he was arranged to be in Taipingzhou. It took more than a month to repair it before he could barely recover. Because it was his first time to set foot in another territory in the middle school, the local government had very strict requirements and constraints on this foreign vassal army, and many conflicts arose.

But this is a trivial matter in normal times. As long as you can get on the battlefield in time, all problems will naturally be solved.

But as far as I know, some people in the court at this time raised the issue of the incompatibility and adaptability of these overseas garrison troops from afar. They advocated the use of these foreign guest troops to garrison the Jiangnan roads, and to turn the local troops to go north to attack, or support the middle and western fronts, and could further exert their combat effectiveness. Then, after these foreign troops initially adapted to the local area, they would serve as reserve troops to supplement the sequence of going north.

At least this seems to be much more foolproof, but the trivial things and specific workload have increased a lot at once. However, the opinions of the representative of the Political Affairs Hall in the base camp obviously have objections, because this involves the rescheduling and large-scale adjustment of logistics supply to the allocation of defense and defense.

So whether they crossed the river and went north was delayed because of the disputes between the people. As a result, it also affected the efficiency of the logistics system, and even showed signs of chaos and disorder. Even the supplies in Taipingzhou became intermittent and unstable.

And the evil consequences of this accumulation suddenly broke out two days ago.

Because the local pirate army went to the prefecture city on a routine basis, and among the many rationed grain bags they received, they suddenly found that there were a lot of moldy rice mixed with. So they endured a shortage for a period of time and that they were not in time for the time being, and they couldn't help but become restless as the camp, and the crowd excitedly expressed their feelings to the garrison general. As a result, the head of the camp went out publicly at this time.

The local officials and supervisors were forced to come out to speak out, but because they were not clear and could not be satisfactory, they wanted to use their power to suppress people and scold them, so they suppressed them. After a brief beating, they turned into a large-scale camp riot.

Then the riots quickly spread from the soldiers who fled out of the camp to several other camps, and it turned out that the court wanted to cut off the supply of these vassal troops, and used moldy feed that did not eat in animals to fool them into rumors and bad news.

Although these overseas vassal troops are known for their hard work, they do not mean that they can accept the humiliation of being treated as animals. At least when they were stationed in Yanbian, it would be no problem to have enough food and have a good stomach.

Then things became increasingly uncontrollable. Under the leadership of some officers who had long complained, they began to rush to the place in groups to raise food on the spot. Then, inevitably, in the spontaneous resistance of local officials, they turned into arbitrary looting and burning.

In the end, even the prefecture city of Taiping Prefecture was unable to be saved and turned into a place where chaos and soldiers were raging. But after all, no one deliberately organized them. After venting their emotions, they remembered the tremendous and crisis of the commotion. Only then did they gathered a considerable number of people at the summit of the officers who were at the highest level to try to save themselves and find other ways out.

For example, after defeating the siege of the government army, they took the local government to talk to the court in exchange for some conditions and forgiveness. However, they did not expect that this time, the response from Jiangning was so fast that they hurriedly set up an ambush, and the siege troops had already reached Taipingzhou.

They had only had time to attack the subsequent teams that followed, but were still defeated by these old troops who participated in the Northern Expedition Army.

At this time, the cavalry of the former army had already rushed outside Dangtu City and set up camp in front of the three gates, preventing the further escaping of most rioters.

When the team arrived one after another, they rushed into the city together, and then the rest of the chaotic troops in the city realized that they had become turtles in the jar, but it was too late.

So much so that many scattered soldiers gathered together to resist before they could even hear the news, they were all among the people in the city and the people who fought for themselves, or were beheaded and displayed in public during the stubborn resistance.

This also proves a sentence again. As the saying goes: there is no concept or pursuit, nor does it have the armed forces of medium and long-term goals and planning. Even if it is well-equipped and well-trained, it is just a group of mobs that are rising and scattering in the morning.

However, just one day of turmoil, the damage and harm they caused in Taipingzhou were far greater than the local financial resources for more than ten years, and the local private reserves were swept away or burned. As a grain-producing area, all the farming work was abandoned, leaving only a large number of local people who were short of food and clothing and had no place to settle for and needed relief from the court.

Despite this, there were still a small number of riots who had fled from west to north to foreign states. Therefore, the horses from the front army were chasing and searching.

As the other side of the matter, Zhong Shidao, the commander of the Central Army and the frontier commander, suddenly took action to escape in the last battle and neglect his duties, and arrested and seized the local officials, including the local governor and the patrol officer, for the subsequent handling of the court.

The follow-up instructions from Jiangning did not allow us to withdraw our troops from now on, but were rarely stern instructed: "Eliminate all evil and serve as a warning to others." "Let the troops in the imperial camp clear and pick up places nearby, and do not let the disabled party exorcise the poisonous areas", "Associate the dispatch of the department, chase all the responsible persons of the place, etc.", "Those who dare to disobey orders and shirke the responsibility, must not be lazy in the military law..."

Therefore, from these harsh and abnormal instructions, even if I am in a foreign state and temporarily staying out of most things, I can feel that there is obviously a large-scale political storm that is being generated in the court in Jiangning.

Then, what happened in the next few days was both as expected, but quickly out of my expectations.

The military censor Qin Dingji, who was in the base camp, suddenly made a public impeachment. He was from Zhu Shiguang, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Wu Youliang, the Ambassador of the Southeast Water and Land Transportation, and more than a dozen people below the naval army commander Cen Guang, formed cliques and committed personal gains, corruption and fraud, and corrupt national affairs. Please discuss them as collusion with the enemy and treason.

This was undoubtedly like a big ice cube thrown into a oil pan, and it suddenly caused a huge wave of criticism and uproar.

Most of these people are officials who are related to or have a lot of relationships with the Northern People's Party. For example, Zhu Shiguang is the son-in-law of one of the elders of the Northern People's Party, and Wu Youliang is the chief disciple of the first three envoys and Li Chong, the Duke of Shen County.

With the outrageous crimes and evidence, the efficient excavation and outgoing heads were discovered and released, and it was once again put into specific people. However, it is hard to imagine that the Northern People's Party, which once made progress and promoted the restoration of the Central Plains, had fallen into depravity and corruption in the Jiangnan area, and reached such a level.

After preliminary consideration, the state-controlled country took advantage of this opportunity to become the Northern People's Party, which actually suffered the least damage and benefited the most after the failure of the Northern Expedition, and launched a new round of crackdowns and suppression measures. After all, many of the premeditated charges did not seem to be found recently, and could even be traced back to the preparation period before the Northern Expedition.

I can imagine that in secret, countless people have already been running up and down, wanting to use this momentum to realize their own selfish desires and demands.

But on the other hand, as the general manager of the Southeastern Army Sining, who also has a close relationship with the Northern People's Party, my cheap brother-in-law who presided over the war at the forefront has rarely maintained a certain silence and loss of voice.

He neither took the initiative to submit an agreement to support the regent, nor was he in a hurry to return to the rear to request an audience, trying to save or do something. He even had an indifferent attitude towards this, nor did he issue an edict to appease or comfort this important official of Fang Zhen who was in charge of the frontier.

Even if I learned the weirdness and depression in it indirectly through Xie Mingxian's channels, I still feel it even more.

But neither the fifth level nor Lu Wuguan were by my side, and I didn’t give me enough judgments and suggestions. I was also outside the board and couldn’t participate or intervene.

Or, this is also one of the expectations of some people? I, who are in the army, do nothing, will even think of this.

Fortunately, most of the 500 people who were planned to be sent to the Northland to study were sent to me and temporarily organized into a large group, which was considered a kind of pre-familiarity and running-in. In this way, my daily life in the army would not be too monotonous and boring.

Then, while I took the chicken feathers given by the court as a command arrow, I thought of ways to torture and train these special select people, and I interfere with some or their tactical foundations and basic principles to attract appetite, so as to discover some talented people like Yao Pingzhong, or the seedlings worthy of winning and investing in them.
