The slave transformation in Jiangnan became more and more intense, and it happened in Jiangnan where the Hongguang Dynasty was taxed. The slave army in Changzhou Prefecture even attacked Liyang in Yingtian Prefecture, Jintan in Zhenjiang Prefecture and other places, seriously shaking the rule of the Hongguang Dynasty.

In addition to the slave army who went out to kill the rich masters everywhere and all the land was all over, Zhang San and others from Changxing, Zhejiang led fishermen to respond to the slave army in the Taihu area. They captured Yixing as a base and attacked Hengshan, Mudu and other towns.

Compared with the large and small slave troops, which mainly involve slaves from wealthy families, the combat effectiveness of Taihu fishermen is obviously higher.

Just when the news of the slave revolution in various parts of Jiangnan was in urgent need of news, snowflakes flew to the Nandu city, Zhang San and others organized more than 3,000 "fishing troops" to threaten Suzhou from Taihu Lake, which scared the gentry and wealthy families in Suzhou to flee one after another. The local government organized officers and soldiers to suppress the fishing army, but were all defeated by the fishing army. They had to close the city gate and send people to Nanjing to inquire and ask for a large army to encircle and suppress the rebellious people.

At the end of October, hundreds of pirates on Chongming Island went ashore to attack the government with white cloth, calling themselves the "white-headed army". They punished and suppressed local officials and wealthy people wherever they went. However, they were fair to business and civil transactions. They put forward the "three no" slogans of "not stealing the people, not killing the people, and not deceive the people", which made the poor people in Songjiang, Shanghai, Wusong, Jiading, Taicang and other places compete to surrender, and expanded to thousands, threatening to attack the southern capital with the slave army that fought for equality and freedom, so as to transform the prosperous era.

The garrison in Jiangnan was already weak, and the strongest was Zhang Tianlu, the general of Zhenjiang, who had about five or six thousand people under his command. However, most of the soldiers under Zhang Tianlu and his brother Zhang Tianfu were scattered soldiers and brave soldiers brought from the north. They were originally stationed in Guazhou on the north bank of the Yangtze River. Later, because they heard that Li Zicheng sent his army south to Huaiyang, there was a chaos in the river work in Huaiyang, and the two brothers were afraid that Li Zicheng's army would destroy his brothers after he arrived in Huaiyang, so they privately crossed the river to Zhenjiang without the permission of Nanjing Ministry of War.

As a result, because of the soldiers under his command, the Nanjing Ministry of War not only could not scold the two Zhang brothers for their escape without permission, but also had to pinch their noses and appoint Zhang Tianlu as the deputy general of Zhenjiang.

After the Huai Army in Jiangbei captured Yangzhou, Shi Kefa personally supervised the troops across the river to destroy the thief with his eyes. However, the two Zhang brothers did not obey Shi Kefa's orders at all, and were passive and negligent in crossing the river, resulting in the army's defeat in Guazhou. After the war, Shi Kefa could not do anything to Er Zhang, and even raised some money to appease him because he was worried that Er Zhang would surrender to the enemy.

After King Lu came from Haizhou to Nanjing from Chongming under the protection of Sun Wujin's troops in the Northern Army, the two brothers Zhang saw that there were no soldiers in Nanjing, and they could not find any mi and Douzi for a long time, so they simply sent someone to contact King Lu, and they turned into a hero who was like Sun Wujin's guarding the dragon.

Zhang Tianlu was appointed as the general of Zhenjiang, and Zhang Tianfu was appointed as the deputy general of Shenji Camp.

The news of the Jiangyin slave transformation was first transmitted from Changzhou Prefecture to Nanjing. The Minister of War and the Donglin Party member Lu Daqi immediately wrote to Zhenjiang and asked Zhang Tianlu to quickly lead his troops to Jiangyin to quell the rebellion.

But after receiving the official documents of the Ministry of War, Zhang Tianlu first replied that the soldiers needed to drive the silver. After delaying for two days, he said that Jiangyin slaves could not become a minor local problem, and the local garrison could suppress it on their own, but they just refused to leave anyway.

Lu Daqi was so angry that he personally drafted the official document and severely scolded Zhang Tianlu. Unexpectedly, Zhang Tianlu was also anxious and said to the doctor who sent the Ministry of War to urge the army: "Damn it, don't give money or food, the emperor is not too hungry. Go back and tell you my soldiers, General, I guard Zhenjiang, which is the gateway to Kyoto. If the Huai thief from Jiangbei takes advantage of the general, I will go to Jiangyin to cross the river and lose this Zhenjiang city, who will bear the blame!"

In a word, the Jiangyin chaos is far less severe than Zhenjiang.

After hearing what the doctor said, Lu Daqi was so angry that he was choking when eating dumplings, and could not speak for a long time.

Zhang Tianlu could not be transferred, and there were not many garrisons in Suzhou, Changzhou and Songjiang Prefectures. This would be possible to hold on to the city by defending the city. Asking them out of the city to quell the chaos would only make the situation worse.

Lu Daqi thought with his fingers, and finally realized that there was a soldier in Wusong.

This army was controlled by Wu Song General Wu Zhikui, but the unit had only a hundred ships and only two thousand soldiers. When he heard that the Baitou Army was attacking from Chongming Island, he was so scared that he gathered the warships and didn't even have time to say hello to Songjiang Prefecture, so he quickly fled to Zhejiang. How could he expect?

In the end, the ones you can count on are the "Northern Army" in Nanjing City.

The court was also in chaos at this time. Most of the court officials dominated by the Donglin Party were from Jiangnan, so the slavery that occurred in Jiangnan directly harmed their interests.

After all, these officials have family slaves. If all the slaves dare to resist like those bold slave soldiers, then wouldn’t each family be killed by the slave army?

The fact that Xu Xia's Hakka was destroyed in Jiangyin made all officials feel heartbroken.

"There are clever people among slaves who advocate the theory of Sochi. Because of the tripod, how can slaves do the same as before? When they call each other and respond to the call, they will stand up to hold a contract, and the master holds the paper to wait. Then they will raise fire to burn the house. There are those who tie the masters up. Although they are the most accompanied and receive the most favor, they will be like tigers and wolves, and the old fists will add to their evil voices..."

"There is a story about the bandits in the north crossing the river. There are village soldiers in my town, which are the nose-cutting teams of scoundrels. They collect party members, fight bravely and fiercely, and set up weapons to spread rumors. They are like fish belly Chen Sheng and King Chen is a salty person, and they plan to make a big move..."

There are also various rumors about the harm of slave transformation. Some people say that slave transformation was instructed by the thieves in Jiangbei and Huai, who wanted to cause chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, so that the Huai thieves could easily cross the river and subvert the southern capital.

Therefore, it is necessary to immediately dispatch a large army to pacify Jiangnan, and the Huai bandits in Jiangbei must not have the opportunity to take advantage of it.

The closest soldiers to Jiangnan must be the three major camps in Nanjing that were expanded based on the "Northern Army".

Although the news from all over the south of the Yangtze River described the slave army and the rioters as extremely powerful, in the eyes of the dynasty, it was just a saying to shirk responsibility in the local government. If the imperial court's troops were gone, could those slaves and rioters who used agricultural tools as weapons still beat the officers and soldiers?

For common interests, the leader of the Northern Army, who was originally deeply disliked by the Donglin Dukes, was humble, arrogant, arrogant, and did all kinds of bad things. Sun Wujin, the commander of the Beijing camp who was superior to all officials, became the great savior of Jiangnan.

Sun Wujin also felt that the chaos in Jiangnan could not continue, so he took the initiative to write a letter to ask the emperor to issue an order to lead his troops to pacify the slave reform in Jiangnan.

In addition to stabilizing the Jiangnan region, the largest tax-heavy area in the Ming Dynasty, General Sun's other reason was that he would first settle the country when he fought against foreign countries.

The first thing to do to fight against foreign countries is to stabilize the country. It is based on the fact that the Hongguang Dynasty has developed a revival atmosphere. The main reason for this revival atmosphere is that the British King Ajige of Manchuria, and the King of Pingxi Wu Sangui led his troops to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.
