At the reception and celebration banquet, Yin Tianfu praised Yanzhuo for shaking the world, causing the Liangshan Po bandits to flee, and broke the siege of Yingtianfu in Nanjing without bloodshed.May I ask, who else in the world dares to stroke the general's beard?
Hu Yanzhuo was overjoyed by Yin Tianfu's praise, and the beard on his chest almost turned up.He also used the strength of wine to praise Yin Tianfu Yin, praising him for being calm in the face of danger, calm and composed in the face of the siege of Liangshan Po bandits, and coping well, so that tens of thousands of bandits dare not take a step beyond the thunder pool. It's not as good as it is!
The officials of Yingtianfu and the generals of Hu Yanzhuo's army boasted to each other at the banquet, and soon reached a consensus on the victory of Yingtianfu.
After drinking, Ying Tianfu Yin and Hu Yanzhuo wrote to the imperial court respectively, saying that after Hu Yanzhuo led the troops to help, he joined forces with the officers and soldiers in the city to defeat tens of thousands of Liangshan Po bandits, and successfully regained the entire territory of Yingtianfu in Nanjing.
A few days later, the military report of Yingtianfu's great victory was sent back to Bianliang City, Tokyo, and was rushed by Prime Minister Wang Fu and Taiwei Gao Qiu to play it to the Taoist Emperor Song Huizong.
When Song Huizong heard this, he was truly delighted!Just the day before, Taiwei Tong Guan also reported the military situation of Dongping Mansion's great victory to Song Huizong, telling him that under the leadership of Cheng Wanli, the prefect of Dongping Mansion, the three-way siege of Dongping Mansion, Gaochang Mansion and Yanzhou was successful. Defeat the rebel general Dong Ping and regain the entire territory of Dongping Mansion.
Song Huizong smiled at Tong Guan, Wang Fu, Gao Qiu and other ministers in the hall, my great Song Dynasty is indeed strong and brave!It seems that the pacification of the grass bandits in Liangshanpo is just around the corner.The rebellion of bandits in Po Liangshan is just a case of scabies. How can it affect the national affairs of our Great Song Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty?
Song Huizong ordered Cheng Wanli and Hu Yanzhuo to continue to lead the army to chase down the bandits and recover the lost ground. They must wipe out these bandits.At the same time, he asked Prime Minister Wang Fu to continue to prepare for the alliance with the Dajin Kingdom step by step.
Prime Minister Wang Fu and Taiwei Tong Guan were in charge of the joint Jin campaign against the Liao Dynasty. After they took orders, they went to discuss with Zhao Liangsi and others about the joint Jin campaign against the Liao Dynasty.
Taiwei Gao Qiu continued to supervise the Huyanzhuo army's suppression of bandits with great contentment.
With these capable ministers, what worries did Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty have?He quickly retreated to the court, and accompanied by Liang Shicheng, he went to appreciate and point out the construction of Longevity Mountain in Nagen Mountain.
How to pile up the Taihu stones transported from the south of the Yangtze River, where to plant the coconut trees dug from Yazhou, how to match the longan trees in Fujian and the citrus trees in Sichuan, how to decorate with beautiful jade from the Western Regions and sea pearls from Liaodong. These are all important national affairs that need to be decided by the Taoist emperor himself!
Otherwise, how can we create the best royal garden in the world?How can we build a fairy cave that satisfies the Taoist emperor?
In order to supervise the construction of Genyue, Liang Shicheng and Zhu Xi, who was far away in Hangzhou, worked hard to find a lot of people's admiration for Song Huizong.
Song Huizong looked at the exquisite garden under construction and was very happy. He sighed in his heart that there are really a group of capable ministers around him!
Song Huizong didn't know that under Ximenqing's secret operation, a big storm in the south of the Yangtze River was about to break out ahead of time, which would make him sleepless and restless.
5Chapter 16 Brainwashing Master Fang La
In the magistrate's yamen of Qingxi County, Muzhou, the magistrate, who was sitting in court, received a secret report from Fang Youchang, the owner of Fangjiazhuang in Wannian Township, Wannian Township, in the county, and reported that there was a lacquer garden named Fang La in Bangyuandong, Wannian Township, Qingxi County. Mainly because he was dissatisfied with the expropriation of bamboo and wood lacquer by the Jiangnan Yingfeng Bureau, he wanted to gather people to rebel.
The Jiangnan Yingfeng Bureau was established for the current Emperor Daojun to build the Wanshou Mountain Royal Garden. It is for the Emperor Daojun. There are some unruly people in this county who want to use this to make trouble?Isn't this going to ruin my future?
After the magistrate of Qingxi County heard the secret report sent by Fang Youchang, he was furious, and immediately ordered the county Wei Wengkai to take a hundred soldiers and go to Bangyuandong, Wannian Township, to identify Fang Youchang. The bold madman named Fang La was captured.
That Wannian Xiangbangyuan Cave is in the middle of a big mountain, the mountain road is rugged and steep, it is really difficult to walk.Weng Kai, the county captain, took on a hard job this time, secretly feeling bad luck in his heart.He took a capital and ordered a hundred soldiers to rush all the way to Wannian Township.
Just help Yuandong, a remote village with high mountains and deep valleys, what kind of bird characters can come out?Could it be that Fang Youchang, the rich man of Wannian Township, had a personal affair with that Fang La, secretly bribed the county magistrate, falsely accused him of treason, and wanted to kill him?Master, I didn't get half a copper coin in my hand, but I have to go such a long way!This time I went to Wannian Township, I must eat and drink well at Fang Youchang's house for a few days, and then let him give my brothers enough money for the drinks, and then I can give up on this matter!
County Wei Weng happily planned secretly, to take this opportunity to arrest people to get more money and things from the rich man Fang Youchang.
The county Wei Wengkai's team to arrest Fang La just came out of Qingxi County, and someone had already trekked over the mountains and told the news to Fang La who was helping Yuandong gather people to spread Manichaeism.
When Fang La learned that Fang Youchang had informed him that the government had sent someone to arrest him, he immediately decided to take the risk and incited the poor people in Yuandong to revolt and make trouble.
Fang La summoned more than 100 people, including his wife Shao, son Fang Bo, close friends Fang Fei and Fang Qifo, to his lacquer garden, slaughtered cattle, filtered wine, and had a banquet.
During the banquet, Fang La said impassionedly to everyone: "Under the world, a country is like a family. It is the same principle. The emperor and officials are like the father and elder brother in the family, and the people of Li are like sons and brothers. Now my son and younger brother are plowing the fields and weaving cloth, working hard all year round, and if there is a little bit of food and cloth, the father and elder brother will squander it all; There is no mercy. How can there be such a reason in the world? For you, can you bear it willingly?"
Fang Fei, Fang Qifo and other confidants had long discussed with Fang La in secret, and knowing what Fang La meant, they led everyone to say: "No! There is no such reason in the world!"
Fang La said: "Spend and waste what is left, and give it all to the enemy. The enemy relies on our material to become richer and richer, but instead invades and bullies us. Father and brother let the children deal with them. The strength of the children cannot support them." , then condemnation and punishment are ubiquitous. However, what is dedicated to the enemy every year will never be removed because of the enemy's invasion. Can you bear it with peace of mind?"
Fang La is talking about the yearly coins that the imperial court gives to Khitan and Xixia every year. For the poor mountain people in Bangyuandong, how do they know the game of diplomacy and economic and military struggles between countries? Give money to the Gentiles, but don't give it to yourself.This is unbearable, everyone said angrily: "How can there be such a reason in the world?"
Seeing that the crowd was already excited, Fang La, the Manichean master who is good at demagoguery, decided to add another firewood to the fire.
Fang La said with tears: "Now taxes and labor are so heavy, officials plunder and extort, and the income from agriculture and sericulture is not enough to meet our needs. What we people depend on for our lives is nothing but lacquered bamboo and wood, which are used by the government under various names. All the taxes and regulations were collected, and nothing was left. God gave birth to the people and set up officials for them to raise the people, but the government is so vicious and cruel! Is it? In addition to profligacy such as singing and dancing girls, hunting with dogs and horses, building palaces, offering sacrifices to ghosts and gods, expanding armaments, collecting exotic flowers and stones, etc., the silver silk used to bribe the two enemies in the west and north every year is calculated in millions. It’s all the fat, blood and sweat of our people in the southeast. The two great enemies got these treasures, despised us even more, and harassed us every year. The imperial court never dared to abolish the dedication to the enemy, and the rulers still thought it was a long-term strategy to stabilize the frontier. .Only our common people are toiling all year round, their wives and children suffer from cold and starvation, and even if they want to have enough to eat all day long, what do you think should be done?"
As soon as Fang La finished asking, Fang Qifo, a strong man, smashed the wine bowl in his hand, pulled out the chopping knife from his waist, and chopped it on the wooden post in front of him, shouting: "The imperial court has no way, I will not survive!" If you go down, you might as well turn against his mother!"
Instigated by Fang Qifo, all the people said to Fang La indignantly: "I am willing to obey your orders! I am a poor family, otherwise I will be forced to death by the government. "
Although the crowd said that they all regarded death as home, but if they were really led to a dead end, most of them would have to escape halfway along the way.At this time, it is time to describe and promise some good prospects for them.
So Fang La said again: "Brothers are willing to live and die with Fang La, and I, Fang La, will remember it in my heart! However, we are not asking for death, but have a lot to do. The people in the southeast have been suffering from exploitation for a long time. I can't bear it. I have seen the people in the southeast, and they have long wanted to rebel, but there are no heroes to raise their arms. If you brothers can rise up with us in righteousness, the four quarters will hear the wind and respond. Within ten days, thousands of people can gather. Dog The defense of the imperial court in the southeast counties is weak, and we are all united. Within two months, all the counties in the south of the Yangtze River will be defeated! After the dog court received the application, it will gather to discuss and decide to send troops. It will take some time; mobilize and train the army It’s not that half a year is not enough to prepare food and salaries. By the time the dog court sends troops south, we have already occupied the south of the Yangtze River. The Liao Kingdom and Xixia knew that after the dog court lost its southeast land, they would definitely take the opportunity to attack southward, and there would be chaos in the north of the river. However, our army will consolidate the south of the Yangtze River and wait for the chaos in the north. Within ten years, we will be able to Unify the world."
This wax tongue is so bright that it can boast more than Chai Jin Chai officials.According to him, the Great Song Dynasty can be captured within ten years.As far as his grand goal is concerned, not to mention the gangsters Chao Gai, Song Jiang and Chai Jin of Liangshanbo, even the traveler Ximen Qing from Yanggu County would not dare to think about it!
However, for the group of uneducated mountain people in Bangyuandong, the prospect Fang La described was too attractive, it really made their blood boil and they couldn't control themselves.
Since we can all be the founding heroes, why are we afraid of being a bird!What am I still doing in this ravine?Damn it!
5Chapter 17 Great Achievements in the Battle of Cheng Wanli
Wei Wengkai of Qingxi County led the team to arrest Fang La all the way up the mountain and waded to Zhuangzi of Zhengfang Youchang in Wannian Township.Over there, it was common for the county Wei Wengkai to personally bring people to the mountain for business, and hurriedly welcomed his group into the village, slaughtered pigs and sheep, and treated them warmly.
At the banquet, Weng Kai asked Fang Youchang about the rebellion of Fang La who helped Yuandong, but Fang Youchang said in surprise that he had also heard that Fang Lana pretended to be a ghost and spread Manichaeism to the mountain people in the mountains, but in reality I don't know if he has rebellious intentions.The person who went to the county government to inform the police was under the guise of his own name, not sent out by himself.
After hearing this, Weng Kai, the county captain, was half-believing and half-doubting, secretly thinking that there are so many people with me, and he couldn't bear the hard work of his brothers, so he was perfunctory to the county captain here?Hey!You stingy person dares to play tricks in front of me, and I will come to argue with you after I catch Fang Lana.
County Wei Weng Kai and Fang Youchang were drinking wine with their own thoughts, when suddenly there was a commotion outside the village.
When the two looked at the gate, they saw a farmer stumbling towards the door, and the other party Youchang shouted: "Villager, the big thing is not good, those Fangla from Yuandong gathered together to rebel, and they are attacking our Fangjiazhuang. !"
The county captain Weng Kai and Fang Youchang were shocked, and hurried out of the village with the soldiers and farmers to see, but they saw hundreds of men with sticks, machetes, and axes rushing down from the hillside not far away. Hanshan people.
"Fang Youchang, you still said that you didn't know that Fang La had the intention of rebelling, isn't that guy a rebellion!" The county captain Weng Kai and his subordinates and soldiers saw that Fang La was powerful, and they dared to stay where they dared to stay, and they couldn't control Fang. When the family village was gone, he fled in the direction of Qingxi County.
Fang Youchang, the county captain, drove away, and he also came to his senses, and ran desperately behind the soldiers.
It's a pity that this guy was fat, and he was out of breath after running a few steps. After a while, he was caught up by Fang Qifo who was behind him, and he fell to the ground with a knife.
The manor of Fang Youchang, the richest man in Wannian Township, was also seized by hundreds of mountain people brought by Fang La. How dare the farmers in the manor resist, they all stood in the corner and obeyed orders.The Zhuangzi was in chaos.
On a mountain near Fangjiazhuang in Wannian Township, "Flower Arm" Lu Xiaoyi led a few men to look at Fangjiazhuang down the mountain, and after confirming that Fang La and his gang had rebelled, they quietly left Wannian Township. Go north over mountains and ridges to Najiang Prefecture and Wuwei Army.
Fang La occupied Wannian Township, killed Li Zhengfang Youchang, distributed his property to the mountain people in the village, recruited subordinates in the mountains, and gathered tens of thousands of people in a few days.
With soldiers in his hands, Fang La called himself Sheng Gong from then on, Jianyuan Yongle, set up officials and generals, and used headscarves to distinguish grades, red scarves and other colored headscarves as symbols, and established a peasant regime in this ravine impatiently.
When the Fangla Rebel Army first started, they had no bows, arrows or armor. They only incited each other with Manichaean teachings and mysterious things such as ghosts and gods in the mountains.
Under Fang La's bewitching call, farmers from far and near Qingxi County heard the news and responded. In less than ten days, tens of thousands of farmers joined the rebel army.
……
In the city of Bianliang in Tokyo, in the province of Zhongshumen, Shaozai Wang Fu once again looked at an urgent report in his hand, and was so angry that he slapped the table and cursed.
This time, Wang Fu scolded the prefect of Muzhou on Liangzhe Road.There were a few unruly people in Muzhou who made troubles and rebelled. The Zhizhou didn't mobilize troops to suppress it, but even reported their worries to the imperial court!
The land in the south of the Yangtze River has always been peaceful, how can there be such thugs as Liang Shanbo?The bandits in Liangshanbo rebelled, and the local government and army were able to suppress the conquest. Could it be that the few ignorant mountain people in Muzhou resisted donations and made trouble, and the imperial court needed to send out a large army to suppress it?
From Wang Fu's point of view, the Fangla rebels in Muzhou were insignificant and unworthy of the court's attention. He only needed to let Liangzhe Road and Muzhou send local officers and troops to quell the chaos.
