Chapter 655: Chaos

Hosokawa Katsumoto was not connected, nor did the other soldiers, and he didn't know what happened. After these people were sent out, it was supposed to be a fierce battle, but what no one expected was that these people did not have any fierce battle. After the Ming Dynasty came out, they had no intention of attacking. The two generals seemed to be talking. After a while, the two fought once, but many people could see clearly that their people lost, but there was no following. And later, the Ming Dynasty people actually held a shield and blocked them, as if to protect them from attacks by their own people.

Many soldiers felt a little incredible when the enemy actually protected their own people, but the scene in front of them was indeed the case. How could they not understand it? The most important point was that these 20,000 people actually went to the camp of the Ming Dynasty, and it seemed that they were not escorted, but rather they were like entering their own home.

The soldiers on the city wall couldn't help but whisper. They didn't have the same problem anyway. In one aspect, they had never encountered such a problem.

Hosokawa Katsumoto also did not understand it, but he was a general, so he naturally turned his mind faster than these soldiers. He also realized the seriousness of this problem at the moment. He immediately convened all his confidant generals to convene a military meeting to discuss this issue. Like Hosokawa Katsumoto, these generals did not understand it. Similarly, they did not understand why Hosokawa Katsumoto wanted to send these 20,000 soldiers to fight, which was simply a fire pit.

However, no one dared to question him. Moreover, now that this problem has come, all the focus has shifted to this. So everyone also began to discuss how to deal with the problem in front of them. After discussing and discussing, they finally decided on the argument. So soon all the soldiers knew something: these 20,000 people were originally used to attract Ming people to attack, but unexpectedly, these people had been bribed by Ming people, so they followed this opportunity to escape and surrender to Ming people.

This explanation sounds a bit unfair, but the above said confidently, and the soldiers were only suspicious in their hearts. However, this was undoubtedly a big blow to the current unstable morale of the army.

After Jiang Lang carried the general's body back to the camp, he immediately gave him a grand funeral, and at the same time ordered his men to pay ease the 20,000 soldiers who surrendered.

However, Jianglang had his own way, of course, it was impossible to calm down this matter so easily. So, the spies who were mixed in Hosokawa Katsumoto immediately received instructions on how to do it. Just half a day later, new words began to circulate in Hosokawa Katsumoto's camp, that is, these 20,000 people were actually because of the fact that in order to arouse everyone's hatred for the Ming Dynasty, Hosokawa Katsumoto deliberately sent them to be cannon fodder. However, the generals of the Ming Dynasty understood Hosokawa Katsumoto's intentions and couldn't bear it, so they did not kill these people. However, the generals who led the troops had many conflicts in their hearts. If they did not die, I would be sorry to Daming and let everyone die, and I would not be sorry to everyone else. So in the conflict, they agreed with the generals of the Ming Dynasty to treat all his brothers kindly. After the generals of the Ming Dynasty agreed, he committed suicide, which was to replace the 20,000 soldiers to carry out Daming's orders.

Tragic characters are the ones that can win sympathy and attract people's attention. Soon, the rumors began to spread in the army. When Hosokawa Katsumoto and others discovered it, the rumors had basically spread throughout the army.

In a hurry, Hosokawa Katsumoto immediately ordered the person who spread rumors to find out the people who spread the rumors. However, the people trained by Jianglang are masters among the masters. It would be easier for hundreds of thousands of people to find them out? Or there is no possibility at all. Moreover, his performance now makes the soldiers even more suspicious. After some people are exposed, they feel furious. In a certain aspect, this is completely guilty, which strengthens the soldiers' suspicion of him.

Hosokawa Katsumoto had no choice at the moment. Finally, he found a few scapegoats, pretended to be spies from the Ming Dynasty, and chopped his head in front of countless soldiers.

Originally, this matter should have subsided, but unexpectedly, the rumors started again, saying that these people were just scapegoats.

In addition, more rumors began to spread in Hosokawa Katsumoto's army. Many of these soldiers felt in danger, fearing that one day they would be dragged to be scapegoats.

More and more unstable factors began to spread in the army.

On the other hand, Elang made the next move against Katsumoto Hosokawa, which was to instigate the rebellion.

The so-called instigation of rebellion is not to mobilize people in the army to instigate them. After all, there are 300,000 enemies here, which is easily devastating. Jiang Lang turned his attention to the back of Katsumoto Hosokawa, which is his territory.

Now in various territories, all kinds of rumors are beginning to fill the world, especially for their soldiers to deliberately die, in order to arouse hatred for the Ming people. This matter is vividly spread. Another thing is that when the Ming people come, they will kill corrupt officials, kill those landlords, and distribute the land to ordinary people, so they don’t have to worry about eating.

The ideal kingdom of heaven is what many people think of, and just before this rumor came, suddenly one day, dozens of ordinary people rushed into the home of a local landlord, snatching food, and were killed by the government that rushed over. This seemed like nothing big of a deal. In this extraordinary period, it was like throwing a huge stone in a calm lake, which caused a sudden wave.

These people who died were ordinary people. The reason why they robbed food was because they really had no food. There were children who were hungry every day in their homes, and the landlord was unwilling to give a piece of food. They took risks for their own children, but they did not expect to be killed by the government who rushed to the scene.

Although this matter subsided, it also aroused the resonance of ordinary people: after working hard for a year, their children could not even have enough food to eat, and these landlords did not work at all, but they could have a wealth of food. This was wrong. Many people became more and more angry when they thought about it. So, not long after, in the area controlled by Hosokawa Katsumoto, in many cities near Yamai Shifeng's territory, riots occurred. The angry people took up the weapons of the hoe and began to attack the homes of the rich landlords.

As the government, at this time, the situation was confronting hundreds of thousands of troops of the Ming Dynasty, and the stability behind it was particularly important, especially in this extraordinary period. Moreover, these people were just untouchables in their eyes, so they did not think of any persuasion or other methods, but instead adopted strong suppression.

Compared with those government soldiers with swords and guns, ordinary people were their opponents, so not long after, many people fell behind the pool of blood.

The consequence of doing this was that it immediately aroused the anger of many people. So they began to resist the government, and with Jianglang people in it, large-scale riots broke out in these cities. They not only began to attack the landlords, but also attack the government, etc. The government began to take strong suppression, which further escalated the conflict. Then, more and more people began to participate in it and began to fight with those oppressing people, kill the landlords, and grab food. The rear of Hosokawa Katsumoto is now in chaos.

The most important point is that this is still beginning to spread to others.

After Hosokawa Katsumoto, who was ahead, was so anxious that he was overwhelmed. However, at this time, persuasion had no effect and had no choice but to adopt coercive suppression, and this suppression made the situation behind it even more chaotic.

These news were conveyed in Jianglang's ears without missing a word. Jianglang was very satisfied with the things behind him. He wanted this effect. He had strong troops in front of him, and their rear was also in chaos. Even if there were people, he would not dare to send out this chaos easily. Moreover, the more suppressed the more he suppressed, the more he resisted. And now Hosokawa Katsumoto dared to mobilize his troops easily. After all, he is still an army of hundreds of thousands, but there are obviously not many troops in the rear and he cannot suppress the resistance behind him.

Yamana Shitotsuki and Ashikaga Yoshimasa have now appreciated the terrifying things about Elang. Before a soldier was dispatched to directly attack, Hosokawa Katsumoto was in a collapsed situation. The entire rear was like a pot of boiled porridge, and it was a mess.

These two people didn't know what methods they used, and Jianglang would not say that at this time, Jianglang was still waiting. When Hosokawa Katsumoto's back was even more chaotic, he had to send a large number of troops to suppress him. At that time, his hundreds of thousands of troops could immediately move his troops forward. At that time, Hosokawa Katsumoto's troops were dispersed, and there were still troops there that could stop the pace of his army. If he did not send troops, his rear would soon be occupied by those who resisted. Moreover, many of the soldiers' families could be in the rear, and the back was in chaos. How could their morale be stable?

Hosokawa Katsumoto is now on the verge of collapse. The so-called external and internal troubles are the ones he is facing now. This is the problem he has dealt with this problem so anxious that he can't fall asleep at all.
