This year is destined to be an eventful year,

On the 10th of the month, just yesterday, Emperor Zhao Ji had just officially crowned Taiwei Gao Yu as the Xuanfu envoy of Jingxi in the court, and set Jingdong East Road, Hebei East Road and Huainan East Road to send troops to Jingdong West Road, which was occupied by Liangshan bandits, and wanted to recover Jingdong West Road in one fell swoop and exterminate Liangshan bandits.

Unexpectedly, today, an urgent military message from the south was sent to the court, and it was suddenly like a thunderclap on the ground, which shocked the court again!

The urgent military situation is Muzhou and Hangzhou together, it is said that the Qishan bandits in Shezhou took Zhu Wuwei and suddenly attacked Shezhou with 10,000 horses, because the Qishan bandits had set up an ambush in the cities of Shezhou in advance, and the cities of Shezhou were caught off guard, and in just five days they were conquered by the Qishan bandits, and the officials of Shezhou were all slaughtered! At present, the Qishan thieves have the potential to attack Muzhou and Hangzhou!

The Manchu Dynasty was shocked when he heard this, the Liangshan thieves are not finished here? Why did another Qishan thief come out? And he captured a big state all of a sudden, when did all the thieves in the world become so powerful?

Due to the experience of the Liangshan thieves, Zhao Ji and the military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty did not dare to despise this matter anymore, and immediately discussed how to exterminate these two gangs of thieves and subdue the lost land.

The opinions of the ministers were also quickly divided into two factions,

One faction believes that the recovery of Jingxi Road should be suspended, and the army should be sent to conquer the Qishan bandits, because after the early arrangement, Hebei East Road, Beijing Daimyo's Mansion, Nanjing Yingtianfu, and Jingdong East Road have formed an encirclement of Liangshan bandits, and it can be seen from the fact that the thieves no longer dare to continue to attack, and the Beijing Daimyo's Mansion and Nanjing Yingtianfu have set up a heavy army of forbidden troops, which can ensure that Tokyo has no worries. The Liangshan bandits are currently under attack on all sides, and it is only a matter of time before they are eliminated. Huainan and Liangzhejiang are the money and grain warehouses of the Great Song Dynasty, and Hangzhou is the most important, if there is a problem in these places, the Great Song Dynasty will fall into the dilemma of no food and no money!

The other faction insisted on conquering the Liangshan bandits first, because unlike the Qishan bandits who only occupied one place in Shezhou, the Liangshan bandits occupied the entire Jingxi Road, although the imperial court had laid down heavy defenses, but in order to prevent the night from dreaming too much and ensure the complete safety of Gyeonggi, it was still important to solve the Liangshan bandits first. As for the Qishan bandits, the reason why they were able to conquer Shezhou so quickly was just a sneak attack, and now Muzhou and Hangzhou and other states have taken precautions, and it is wishful thinking for them to attack Muzhou and Hangzhou again. Even if you only order the surrounding states and counties to attack Shezhou, you can completely kill all the Qishan bandits.

Zhao Ji felt that the opinions of both parties were reasonable, hesitated, hesitated, and then had to look at Cai Jing and Tong Guan and others whom he trusted, and for various purposes, Cai Jing and Tong Guan and others agreed that they should attack the Liangshan thieves first, and subdue the Jingxi East and West Road, as for Qishan, you can order the surrounding states and counties of Shezhou to work together to encircle and suppress, Tong Guan also came out of the way, he is willing to take the order to gather the soldiers and civilians around Shezhou to exterminate the Qishan bandits!

Tong Guan is a general who leads the troops to fight all the year round, Zhao Ji saw that he was a dragon, and finally made up his mind, and ordered Gao Yu to go out according to the plan, go to exterminate the Liangshan bandits, and subdue Jingxi Road. He also appointed Tong Guan Xuanfu Lianghuai and Zhejiang, and conquered the Qishan bandits to recover Shezhou. As for the military money and grain needed for the two wars, they can only share the military money and grass prepared in advance for the recovery of Jingdong and West Roads. This requires the two sides to fight quickly!

Gao Yu immediately received the order, but before Tong Guan was ready to come out, five days later, another urgent military situation came from the south, and there was another bad news on it------ Qishan bandit Kou had conquered Muzhou!

Zhao Ji and Manchaowu were stunned again, it only took five days, why did Muzhou fall away?! These thieves are too fast?! Are all the officials and generals in Muzhou idiots?!

With all kinds of puzzles, a detailed explanation of the battle situation sent afterwards answered the doubts of Zhao Ji and others.

It turns out that the Qishan thieves are not just simply conquering the prefectures and counties, burning, killing and looting, they actually have a very complete army deployment, from the thief Zhu Wu to the ordinary soldiers are all in their places, attacking and advancing together, and retreating together, and their combat effectiveness is also extremely strong, and the weapons and equipment are also very perfect, if they don't know that they are thieves, maybe they really think that this is the elite forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty!

The scary thing is that they are even "famous", and their goal is directly aimed at Huashigang!

Pestidachidae?

It turns out that the emperor Zhao Ji is particularly fond of flowers and stones and strange trees, and even has reached the point of loving them like life, in order to collect strange stones and famous trees for him to play in Tokyo, he is thousands of miles away from Tokyo, but rich in strange stones and famous trees in the southeast of Zhejiang Province set up the Suzhou and Hangzhou worship bureaus, and the strange stones collected from the collection are transported to Tokyo Bianliang by land and water for his fun, this huge project of collecting strange stones from the southeast region and then transporting them to Tokyo is called Huashi Gang.

The emergence of Huashigang can also be called a major disaster in the surname, economy and stability of the southeast region!

In order to ensure the transportation of Huashigang, Zhao Ji stopped the transportation of grain and grass related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and used all the ships to transport large stones, which was not enough, and he requisitioned civilian ships and merchant ships to transport stones at will. Sometimes, in order to allow the passage of the fleet transporting the flowers, the bridges were demolished at will, and the castles were dug up.

For example, as long as they want to extort anyone, the officials of the Suzhou and Hangzhou Worship Bureau will break into the yellow paper on the strange stone that they will see, saying that this thing has been owned by the royal family, and force the surname to guard, and then they will take the opportunity to damage the strange stone, and charge the residents with a "big disrespect", and the convicted surname can only be disposed of by them, even if they sell their children and daughters, they will also be handed a high bribe! The result is often ruined at best, and the family is ruined at worst! As soon as the people surnamed Suzhou and Hangzhou worship bureau appeared, they hurriedly abandoned their families and businesses, and fled with their families overnight.

He is also famous for Zhu Mian, who is currently serving in the Suzhou and Hangzhou Worship Bureau, and there are countless surnames that have been directly or indirectly ruined by him, and his surname will change when he hears his name!

It can be said that since the establishment of the Suzhou and Hangzhou Enshrinement Bureau in the first year of Chongning, in just over ten years, it has made the people in the southeast and Zhejiang of the Great Song Dynasty rich Jia miserable, the poor surnames fled everywhere, the propertoire class went bankrupt, and the wealth of Suzhou and Hangzhou, and the vitality of the surnames were destroyed in the battle of Huashigang! And the root of everything that cost tens of thousands of civil servants and countless dollars was just to satisfy Emperor Zhao Ji's hobby of looking at strange stones!

And this Zhu Wuqishan uprising is a call for "the people of the southeast have been suffering from exploitation for a long time", calling on the southeast surname to "kill Zhu Mian" and fight for survival!

As a result, at first, the surname thought it was a thief attacking, and he was so frightened, but when he heard this, he was all angry, and the anger that had been suppressed for a long time completely exploded, echoing Zhu Wu's Qishan army. And Zhu Wu also captured the state and county after the realization of his promise, killed the corrupt officials who were caught, gave the number of people they occupied to the surname, opened the warehouse to release grain to the hungry people, just a few days, the southeast and Zhejiang surnames have responded to the call to unveil the pole, the Qishan army conquered the process of the city The whole city surname is willing to respond, with a hammer kitchen knife and the officers and soldiers to fight, open the city gate, and help the Qishan army to sweep Shezhou Muzhou smoothly!

The reason was finally clear, and the loyal and good people of the dynasty hurriedly suggested that Zhao Ji quickly issue an order to stop the Suzhou and Hangzhou Worship Bureau, and at the same time investigate Zhu Mian and his son, so as to appease the people, so as not to be used by thieves again.

And Zhao Ji was also frightened stupid, hurriedly issued an order and sent Tong Guan to the southeast to suppress the bandits, but it was too late, five days later, the military situation came, Hangzhou was lost, Zhu Mian and his son were caught in the process of escaping, and they were killed alive in front of the Hangzhou Worship Bureau, it is said that everyone with the surname competes for their flesh, and the hatred for him can be seen!

After another ten days, when Tong Guan finally arrived in the southeast, Wuzhou, Quzhou, Chuzhou and other places had already been lost one after another! The Qishan army also spread to hundreds of thousands, almost occupying most of the southeast and Zhejiang!

The Qishan Army also officially confronted Xiuzhou with the 200,000 troops gathered by Tong Guan along the way, and the big war was imminent!

At the same time, Gao Yu finally gathered an army of 200,000 and divided it into four roads, forming a four-way attack on Jingxi Road, and a real test battle of the Liangshan Tiandao Army was about to start!
