The place where Cao Gan was imprisoned was the third room in the Shenyan Courtyard, although it was not as good as the VIP wing room with its own small courtyard, but it was also clean and tidy, as a prisoner, to be able to live in such a place, if it was not tied to an oak thick-backed chair, there was no reason to complain about poor treatment.

With high pragmatic courage, even though he knew that Cao Gan, who was bound all over his body, would never be able to move, and he could not break free from the shackles by breaking the sturdy oak chair, he still came to Cao Gan with a smile after taking a killing god like Liu Wei with the attitude of "carefully sailing the ship for ten thousand years".

Seeing Gao Pragmatic coming in, Cao Gan snorted coldly and said mockingly: "Gao family boy, if you want to come to see Cao's jokes, you might as well take a closer look, Cao has never seen any winds and waves, and you won't lose half a piece of meat if you look at it." ”

Gao Pragmatic was still smiling, and he moved an oak chair and sat down not far in front of Cao Gan, looking at the head of the horse thief with great interest.

Cao Gan is a big bald head, half of the ear that was cut off by Liu Wei was bandaged at random, and it seems that he has also taken some medicine, probably because Liu Xian thinks that he is more or less an important prisoner, and he doesn't want his wound to be infected and die, so he ordered someone to deal with it. His arms were also handled, sandwiched between two planks and wrapped tightly in a white cloth, which also smelled of herbs.

But Gao Pragmatic was not in a hurry to speak, but Liu Wei couldn't help but glared at Cao Gan: "The surname Cao is all here, what kind of heroes are you pretending to be?" You listen to me, Master, Gao Gongzi is very busy, but he is not interested in seeing you pretend. ”

Cao Gan laughed, and a pair of big bronze bell-like eyes showed a sly light: "Oh? Is it? It seems that Gao Gongzi is here, either planning to kill me with his own hands to vent his anger, or he is planning to recruit me? ”

Gao Shicheng laughed, shook his head and said, "I haven't even killed a chicken, how can I kill someone?" As for Zhao'an...... How can I be at ease with you? ”

Cao Gan smiled: "Even the fool in the countryside also knows that the respect of the elder of the pavilion is similar to the prime minister of the previous dynasty, your uncle is not only the elder of the court, I heard that he is also the emperor, not to mention Zhao'an, I am just a ringing horse, it is the general under the command of the Feilong Emperor back then, if he wants to recruit An, I am afraid that he can recruit An." ”

"The Wyvern Emperor?" Gao Pragmatic was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart: What kind of thing is this, what a strong fantasy animation style.

But Liu Wei beside him had a tense face, and suddenly asked, "What is your relationship with that Zhang Lian thief?" Say! ”

Cao Gan laughed, but didn't bother to pay attention to it at all.

Gao Shicheng turned around in surprise and asked Liu Wei, "Brother Zishou, who is Zhang Lian?" ”

Liu Wei stared at Cao Gan fiercely with a cold face, and said to Gao Shishi: "Master Gao, this matter ...... Please take a step to speak. ”

Gao pragmatically said that it is not good, my surrender has not yet been opened, is it possible that I am going to die?

However, when he saw that Liu Ling's face was serious, not like a child's play, he had to stand up and walk towards the door. Liu Wei then came out, and the two went to the wing room on the other side to talk.

After entering the house, Liu Wei asked Gao Pragmatic to sit down, and without any nonsense, he directly introduced the deeds of the "Flying Dragon Emperor".

Gao Pragmatic didn't know anything about this person, so he could only listen to Liu Ling's story. Originally, he estimated in his heart that this so-called "Flying Dragon Emperor" was probably a funny rebellion made by a few fools and fools, but what he didn't expect was that the rebellion was real, but it was not funny at all.

Zhang Lian, Rao Ping's next warehouse. At the beginning, he was a treasurer, stole treasury silver, killed people, and took refuge in the thief Zheng Ba for chaos, and was classified as a "drama thief" in the archives of the imperial court. If that's all there is to it, the problem is that he is not satisfied with being a bandit, and even makes a bigger deal.

When this Zhang Lian was a treasurer in Raoping County, he quietly carved a seal with four characters on it: "Flying Dragon Lord". And privately hid this seal in the county seat Sifang Pond. Then he said mysteriously: "I dreamed at night, and I saw a treasure falling from the sky in the pond, and the immortals dreamed that whoever can obtain this thing is the true dragon son of heaven." ”

Although this trick played by the rebels in the past was nothing new, it was also a new thing for the local people, and soon spread throughout the county. Many people believed it to be true, probably relying on the emperor to be far away, and they actually went down to the pool to find it, but no one could find it. At this time, Zhang Lian saw that it was almost brewing, so he also invited a few people to Sifangtang to look for it.

This jade seal was originally hidden by Zhang Lian, of course, it didn't take much effort to get it, and it was soon fished up by him. Zhang Lian obtained this seal, in the eyes of these fools and fools, it is equivalent to heaven granting the emperor a talisman from heaven. The people were stunned and thought that the heavens would descend on the Si people, and they knelt down and bowed. Relying on this old-fashioned little trick, Zhang Lian actually became a local leader.

With a name, it is easy to do great things, and next, Zhang Lian "killed the patriarch and defected to Zheng Ba in Tai Po".

Dapu belonged to the capital of Luanzhou, Qingyuan, Raoping County. In the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing, the patriarch saw that Zhang Lian had the intention of rebelling, and he was afraid that he would endanger the Zhulian family in the township in the future, so he repeatedly persuaded Zhang Lian not to rebel and be an honest obedient citizen, and threatened to expel him from the clan if he did not obey.

Emperor Zhang Lian's ambitions have risen, how can he endure such "bullying"? So he angrily killed the patriarch, ascended to the heights, and led his followers to defect to Zheng Ba in Tai Po (this person was the leader of the White Fan Society uprising) and became the deputy head of the village. After Zheng Ba's death, because Zhang Lian was "chivalrous and righteous", with the highest prestige, and had the emperor Fu Zhao in hand, he was promoted as the leader. Rebels from all over the country have taken refuge one after another, and the army has reached 100,000 people, and its power has become stronger and stronger.

In the thirty-ninth year of Jiajing, Zhang Lian and Chengxiang Lin Chaoxi, Liang Ning, Xu Dongzhou, Dapu Xiao Wan, Luo Pao, Yang Shun, Xiaojing, Zhang Gongyou, Lai Ci, Li Dongjin and other rebels united and formed a bloody alliance. And in his hometown Raoping Shangrao Wushi to build a castle, in Baisongguan Zhangxiang Mountain to build "Zhucheng Yellow House" as a palace. After that, Zhang Lian set up an altar to worship heaven and earth and called the emperor, called "Flying Dragon Lord", changed the Yuan "Calendar", the country name "Flying Dragon", and opened the official department, Feng Xiaowan, Luo Pao as the king, Feng Lin Chaoxi as the general, and others were rewarded.

Baisong Pass is located in the north of Raoping, Guangdong Province, Shangshan Town and Fujian Province Pinghe County Jiufeng Town junction, the terrain is quite high, the peak is confronted, the mountain is dangerous, the stone is the wall, and the two gates are arched against each other. Legend has it that when the Ming Dynasty built this pass in the past year, there was an ancient cypress volley in the north of the pass, so it was called "Bai Song Pass". This is the throat of the Guangdong-Fujian channel, and it is a strategic place that will be opened by thousands of people.

After the establishment of the "Flying Dragon Kingdom", Zhang Lian stepped up his plan to overthrow the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

In the 40th year of Jiajing, Zhang Lian dispatched troops to attack Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang provinces in three ways, and ordered Lin Chaoxi to lead an army of more than 30,000 people to attack Zhufu County in eastern Guangdong; He ordered Xiao Wan and Luo Pao to lead more than 30,000 people to attack western Fujian and southern Jiangnan, and he himself personally led the main force of the Chinese army of more than 30,000 people to attack southern Fujian and attack Zhejiang along the coastline.

The Flying Dragon Army was huge, and the early successes of the expedition were frequent, and at the same time it received response and support from rebels from all over the country. When Xiao Wan and Luo Pao led their troops to attack western Fujian, the brothers Bao Long (Bao Rong) and Bao Feng (Bao Hu), the leaders of the Liancheng rebels, actively cooperated and echoed each other. Xiao Wan and Luo Pao were connected to Yongding, Shanghang, Wuping, Changting, Changle, and Liancheng, and cut off the grain routes of the official army, and took advantage of the victory to attack Ruijin, Ningdu, Xingguo, Wan'an, Taihe and other places in southern Jiangnan; Lin Chaoxi's troops moved to eastern Guangdong, attacking Chaozhou, Tai Po, Meixian, Xingning and Longchuan and Heyuan in Heyuan; Zhang Lian personally commanded the rebel army, occupied peace in April, fell into the clouds in June, broke Nanjing in August, captured Zhenhai in Zhangzhou, and then pointed directly at Quanzhou, Putian, Fuzhou, and took advantage of the victory to capture Longquan, Zhejiang. The rebels were as sharp as a bamboo, and in a short period of time, dozens of county towns were captured, and the entire Flying Dragon rebel army grew to 200,000 people!
