Chapter 106 But he dug his own grave
In the winter of the second year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty, the largest official and civil rebellion since the founding of the Zhao family finally broke out. When Jiangnan was trapped in the disturbance of Zhu Mianhua Shigang, no one complained! Fang La, a native of Muzhou, secretly gathered the poor and started an incident in the name of killing Zhu Mian, and within a few days, the responders gathered. Fang La's self-proclaimed Holy Father, Jianyuan Yongle, self-appointed officials and generals, marked by scarves. The rebels had no bows and arrows, and only incited the people with superstitious beliefs in ghosts and gods. Jiangnan has not been through the fire for a long time, Fang La's department set up a cowhide drum and beat the drum, and the nearby people, whether good or low, all heard the sound and surrendered.
In less than a month, tens of thousands of people have gathered under the banner of Fang La. But after breaking free from the constraints of the old order, this group of peasants, due to their lack of political ability and social responsibility, began to create new evils before they achieved their righteous goal (to kill corrupt officials): burning houses, plundering money, and robbing women wherever they passed! The ignorance and brutality of the means are no less than the barbarian people! So the rebels quickly degenerated into thieves!
In December, Fang La captured Muzhou, killed thousands of officers and soldiers, and occupied Shouchang, Fenshui, Tonglu, Sui'an and other counties. Then they captured Shezhou, and the officials of the neighboring Wuyuan, Jixi, Qimen, and Yixian counties fled en masse. The peasant army turned south, captured Fuyang and Xincheng, and approached Hangzhou. When the peasant army caught an official, they would cut off their limbs, probe their lungs and intestines, or boil them with anointing oil, and prick their corpses with arrows, so as to pay for their grievances.
Chen Zhenghui, who was about to go north to Jinmen to report on his work, stopped when he heard the news, and after hearing about the tragic situation of the captured officials, he felt even more sad about the death of rabbits and foxes. And Yang Yingqi, who was far away in the north, sighed after receiving the news: Emperor Jun abused the people too much: "Such resentment, how can there be no reason!" ”
Yang Yingqi, who was in a foreign country, received the news that he first went to Liuqiu from Jiangnan, then transferred from Liuqiu to Jinmen, Liaokou, Anpo, Huanglongfu, and then to Taizhou, and finally reached his hands. But as the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji knew about this matter no earlier than Yang Yingqi! It turned out that the police were reported to Bianliang, and the prime minister Wang Huang and others were afraid of affecting the establishment of Yanyun in the Northern Expedition, so they did not press the table, until the officials of the feudal territory repeatedly asked for help, and the situation was finally so serious that it could not be concealed, so that Emperor Daojun woke up and ordered the Northern Expedition to be suspended, with Tan Zhi as the envoy of the two Zhejiang systems, and Tong Guan as the envoy of Jiang, Huai, Jing and Zhejiang Xuanfu, and led the forbidden brigade and 150,000 soldiers of the Qin, Jin, and Han Dynasty (originally to be used for the Northern Expedition) to conquer Fangla.
During the period when the Great Song Dynasty had not yet reacted, the people of Jiangnan suffered a lot! Although it was the peasants who started the incident, it was also the peasants who suffered the most! Chen Zhenghui was so anxious overseas that he almost couldn't help but want to instigate Ouyang Shi to send troops to help suppress it several times, but he held back at the last moment. If the Han soldiers and horses were allowed to intervene in the internal affairs of the Great Song Dynasty, the future situation would definitely be out of control - Chen Zhenghui still knew this.
Although Ouyang Shi did not send troops, the ships he could command patrolled the coasts of Jianghuai and Zhejiang day and night, rescuing the fleeing people - his action may have a little conscience mixed in, but in terms of the main purpose, it is not to "save people" but to "rob people"!
For such a "righteous act", both Chen Zhenghui and Lin Ling strongly supported it, and in this Fangla Rebellion, Chen Zhenghui did not count the total number of people who migrated to Liuqiu until a long time later! This time, it was no longer the simple poor people, but even some rich peasants, landlords, wealthy merchants and even the gentry were forced to float across the sea. The development progress of the southern part of Daliuqiu Island has also been rapid after this turmoil.
When this major event happened in Jiangnan, Yang Yingqi was far away in Linhuang Mansion, so he could only wait for the news to spread north every day, and there was no room for interference at all. The espionage system of the Great Liao is not as developed as that of the Han Dynasty, (the espionage system of the Han Department is actually not as pervasive as the spy system of later generations, but it is much better than that of several other regimes) but Yelu Dashi inquired about various forces in Nanjing about the situation in the Great Song Dynasty, and finally knew that there was a rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River, and also noticed that the recent military movement of the Great Song Dynasty in the north was stranded after this incident.
On this day, he returned to Zhongjing and passed by Xiao Fengxian, the privy envoy of the Northern Yuan, who heard that there would be no war in the south for the time being, so he ignored it, and gave two words of condolences to Yelu Dashi.
Yelu Dashi said: "Xiao Xiang, although the Southern Dynasty is temporarily unable to attack, they will obviously do something if they gather troops and accumulate food in a few months!" The defense of Nanjing and Xijing must be careful! ”
Xiao Fengxian casually answered twice, and Yelu Dashi was very disappointed when he saw that he didn't take it to heart. Suddenly, Xiao Fengxian said: "Don't talk about the affairs of the Southern Dynasty, General Yelu, do you know that something happened in the north?" ”
Yelu Dashi exclaimed: "The Jurchens are calling again? Didn't you just give Jerodus a repellent of it? ”
Xiao Fengxian sighed and said, "You also know about Yelu Dutong." ”
Yelu Dashi said: "Yelu Dutong fought a wonderful battle, and Zhongjing and Nanjing are even rumoring in the streets, and the last general will naturally know." ”
Xiao Fengxian frowned slightly and said, "Nanjing is also spreading?" ”
Yelu Dashi said: "Yes! ”
Xiao Fengxian snorted and said: "But what I just said about the accident in the north was not the Jurchen attack, but someone came to tell me, saying that Yelu Yu had fornicated with the Jurchens and intended to commit treason." ”
Yelu Dashi was shocked: "How is this possible! Tell who this man is! Xiao Xiangke has found it out? ”
Xiao Fengxian asked, "General Yelu doesn't believe that Yelu will commit treason?" ”
"Naturally, I don't believe it!" Yelu Dashi said: "Yelu is my Great Liao Clan, the pillar of the country!" is the emperor's brother-in-law! Now that he has just won the battle, and the imperial court has entrusted him with the importance of the aspect, how can he commit treason and reduce his money? No way! No way! ”
Xiao Fengxian said: "But that person said it clearly!" ”
Yelu Dashi said categorically: "Can Xiao Xiang call that person out, and wait for the last general to question him personally!" ”
Xiao Fengxian shook his head and said, "This person is not in the Prime Minister's Mansion now. ”
Yelu Dashi knelt down and said, "Xiao Xiang! This must be a Jurchen counterplot! At present, the country is employing people, and we must not destroy the Great Wall! The last general is willing to vouch for his life and his life, and there will be no treason in Jerodus! ”
Xiao Fengxian saw Yelu Dashi like this, and his heart was even more unhappy, but his face didn't show it immediately, but he just asked, "Do you have a good relationship with Yelu Yujian?" Speak for him like this! ”
Yelu Dashi said loudly: "This is not a question of friendship or unfriendship!" Yeludu is loyal and brave to the country, and the world knows it! Not only the last general, but also the marshals of the generals such as Simer and Hui Libao will come, and the opinions will be the same as the last general! ”
Xiao Fengxian showed his face and said, "Okay, good!" The general is loyal and brave to the country, but he is not under the command of Yeludu! I was just tempting! In fact, the truth is similar to what the general guessed, and the person who came to tell him was here to make a counterplot! I have dismantled him and sent him to be held accountable. ”
His attitude changed so quickly, but Yelu Dashi felt strange, but he didn't say anything, just stood up and said, "Xiao Xiangying!" After a little hesitation, he said: "There is Yelu Dutong in the northern line, and it is no big problem to come." The dynamics of the Southern Dynasties are unpredictable! The last general wants to ask for an order to go to Nanjing, please Xiao Xiangcheng! ”
Xiao Feng thought about it for a while and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it." ”
After Yelu Dashi said goodbye, Li Chuwen turned out from behind the screen and asked, "This person can't be reused." ”
Xiao Fengxian snorted and said, "He's going to Nanjing, that's just right!" I did what he wanted, so that I wouldn't get in the way!" ”
