According to the last book, Song Jingshi led the Black Flag Army to fight against the militia and killed Wang Bailing and Yang Mingqian, the leaders of the Gantun Zhong'ai Regiment and the Liulin Yongqing Regiment. At this time, the local government also felt the threat of the Black Flag Army, and if it did not take action, one day raising tigers would be in trouble, and the trouble would be great. So he played the imperial court and prepared to destroy the Black Flag Army.
The imperial court ordered Liu Changyou, the governor directly under him, to supervise the matter. From the beginning of May, soldiers and horses of all roads quietly marched towards Guan County. Among them, the cavalry supported by the monk Greenqin, led by Heng Ling and Cheng Bao, encircled from the northeast; the troops and militia groups transferred from CaoZhou were encircled in the east; Ding Baozhen took Sun Shanshu of GuanXian County and the daimyo general Yi Jin'a to guard the south; Liu Changyou personally led soldiers and horses to attack from Guantao to the east.
Song Jingshi also sensed the movement of the officers and men, and he shrunk the peripheral troops to the middle, using the area around his hometown of Liu Guanzhuang as his base camp, and then set up a kabu defense along the canal and the Wei River, practicing daily and preparing for battle.
On the fifth day of the first month of June, Ding Baozhen sent people to the Song Jingshi camp to pass on the order, asking him to gather the officers and soldiers he had brought back, register and make a record to listen to the imperial court for inspection, and the rest of the soldiers were all dismissed. Because Song Jingshi was still nominally a staff general of the imperial court, he only fought with the vigilante group the other day and did not have a direct conflict with the officers and soldiers, so he had to go according to the official procedures first.
Song Jingshi ignored this order and sent Liu Houde and Yang Dianyi to lead troops to cross the canal that night and prepare to break through to the east, but without success. On the eighth day of June, Liu Changyou and his troops arrived at Qingshui Town, and the battle to encircle and suppress the Black Flag Army officially began.
At the beginning of the battle, the Qing army had two disadvantages. The first, it was summer, with heavy rain for many days in a row, and the roads were muddy, which was not conducive to the march. At the same time, the crops were all grown taller, it was easy to ambush people and horses in the green yarn tent, and the Black Flag Army was familiar with the terrain and ambushed the Qing army many times; the second factor was that the Qing army was a multi-unit linkage, nominally supervised by Liu Changyou, but they did not listen to his command, fought for each other, and did not cooperate well. Therefore, when Liu Changyou led 17,000 people to attack Liu Guanzhuang from Qingshui Town in early June, he could not walk fast when wading through the water, and he was ambushed on the road, and even drowned and died in battle, and the officers and men were killed and wounded, and their guns and cannons were thrown to the ground. Heng Ling and Cheng Bao stood still in the north, staring at the bustle, because they were the troops of the monk Gelinqin, and Liu Changyou also dared to be angry. On June 15, Heng Ling and Cheng Bao led 5,000 soldiers and horses to launch an attack, and were intercepted by the Black Flag Army in the panzhuang area, and chased all the way to the Linqing Che camp, losing more than half of the men and horses. Liu Changyou also took his subordinates to shout and cheer and watched a good play. As for Ding Baozhen, who was deployed on the southern front, when he looked at this position, he simply did not send troops.
Heng Ling afterwards reported the situation of the battle on the front line to the monk Greenqin, who was very angry and immediately went to the imperial court and participated in a book. As a result, liu Changyou was demoted to the third rank and retained in office; Ding Baozhen was dismissed from his post and retained. This means that it must be punished, but after the punishment, you must continue to stay in the army and command the bandits.
The Viceroy of Zhili and the Inspector of Shandong had received the Holy Will, and they had no heart to fight. For the next month, Liu Changyou was stationed in Linqing, and Ding Baozhen was stationed in Fanzhai, where he took his brother Fan Jingtang's home and prepared to take this bandit crackdown as paid annual leave.
In this way, until August, the monk Greenqin was angry, and took the initiative to ask the imperial court for help, and he wanted to personally come to meet Song Jingshi for a while. As the prince of the monk Greenqin, he has always been the trump card of the imperial court, and only a major crisis that threatens the foundation of the imperial court, like the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Twist army, will come out. Using his identity to suppress bandits in a few small counties is simply killing chickens with cattle slaughtering knives. In the words of the monk Greenqin in the history books: Song Jingshi's group of soil rats is not enough for me to pad the horseshoe!
Unexpectedly, a hand-to-hand monk Greenqin found out: This group of soil rats gathered together, and the strength was greater than that of cattle! You came and went for more than forty rounds, and the monk Greenqin didn't take advantage of it at all! The monk Greenqin was also anxious, and the final decisive battle was launched in Liulin Wuzhuang. Wuzhuang is the hometown of Yiqi Wuxun. The monk Greenqin climbed to a tile kiln outside Wuzhuang Village, personally supervised the battle from a commanding height, and gave Song Jingshi a message: If this battle cannot be won, I will follow you in the future!
On this day, the outside of Wuzhuang Village was killed in the dark, and the blood flowed like a river, and the men and horses sent out by the monk Greenqin went forward to follow, but when they fought against the Black Flag Army, they immediately stopped the flag and fled in all directions. The Black Flag Army was more and more courageous in the war, and in the end, Yang Dianyi led his troops to kill the bottom of the wayao, and it seemed that he was about to capture the monk Greenqin.
