The many gangsters behind Fang La looked at the officials and soldiers who rushed over to paste the seals, each of them clenched their fists, ready to make a move, at this time, one of the officials next to him shouted, "Wait!" ”

Then, the man whispered to the official, "My lord, I have heard of this Fang La, it is very prestigious in the entire She County, you see that those people behind him are mostly people from the rivers and lakes, if they are angered, I am afraid that there will be a bloody disaster!"

In my opinion, it is better to postpone this matter, first see if Fang La is willing to hand over the garden, if not, and then mobilize a large army to come, so that the adults of the province will take risks, right? ”

The official glanced at the people behind Fang La, and found that there were indeed many people dressed as Taoist priests and monks.

"Ahem, since the owner of Fang Zhuang said just now that he wanted to give some time, I will give some time, five days, after five days, I will send someone to receive the manor, if you don't give it by then, hehe, don't blame the official for being polite, go!"

With that, the official swaggered away with dozens of people.

"Sect Master, the government is really too deceitful!"

"Yes, sect master, if you start this, I'm afraid the government will take away all our sect property!"

"Sect Master, turn against him!"

"That's it!" Fang La was already upset when she heard the chaotic voices of everyone, and couldn't help but roar.

Seeing that Fang La was angry, everyone hurriedly stopped.

"Go! Check it out, what the hell is going on? Don't they know whose place it is? Fang La waved his hand and said.

The main altar of Mingjiao is in Huangshan, and most of the local officials know that these Mingjiao industries cannot be touched, otherwise their heads will disappear one day, and I really don't know who actually started the idea of Mingjiao Lacquer Garden.

Soon, Fang La found out that it was not someone else who made the idea, but a relative of Fang La's own family, named Fang Youchang.

This Fang Youchang and Fang La want to talk about it, Fang La has to call an uncle, but it is different from Fang La's vein, Fang Youchang has been cultivating and reading for generations, as early as the Renzong period, he has been out of Jinshi, and later there are several people, but he also left She County to go to the field because of the Song Dynasty's non-local official system.

Fang Youchang of this generation, although he also studied, but he did not get fame, fortunately, this era is not the same as before, even if he does not study and has no fame, he can find a way to get an official position, especially in the south, there is a good way, that is, Zhu Mian's Ying Feng Bureau.

Fang Youchang took refuge in Zhu Mian and helped Zhu Mian collect a lot of strange flowers and stones, Zhu Mian also favored him and gave him an official position.

At this time, Fang Youchang had already obtained thousands of acres of land through various means, and his eyes began to look at the lacquer garden with higher economic value.

Knowing that it was such a ghost made by his relatives, the angry Fang La was almost about to jump up, as soon as the time came on the fifth day, a group of soldiers came to forcibly collect the paint garden, Fang La was not ready, so he could only swallow his anger and give the paint garden to Fang Youchang.

Fang La's forbearance was to hope that the Western Army could start a war with the Liao State first, but Fang Jinzhi soon came with unfavorable news.

In April of the second year of Xuanhe, the Song Dynasty made Zhao Liangsi come to the Jin State, and Ah Guda was just preparing to attack the Liao State again, so he took it to watch the battle, this battle, A Gu Da prepared for almost a year, and it took only three hours to lay down the Shangjing of the Liao State, which scared Zhao Liangsi to call long live, and said that he was willing to transfer the old coins to the Liao State to the Jin State, and asked for a joint attack on Liao.

Originally, everything was said, but at this time, the cattle and horses of the Jin Kingdom were suddenly infected with the plague, of course, Ah Guta did not know that this plague was actually spread by Yelu Dashi, who was hiding in the rear, and only thought that the time had not come, so he retreated and returned to the guard, and made an appointment with the Song envoy to see it next year.

This time, the Song-Liao War could not break out in a short period of time, so Fang La would no longer wait.

"Herald! Summoning the left and right light envoys, the four Dharma kings, the eight scattered people, the four banner masters of heaven and earth, wind and thunder, and the altar masters from all over the world, gather here to discuss major matters! Must arrive in 10 days! On a hillside, Fang La ordered.

"Yes!"

Fang La was also forced to be anxious, you know, these lacquer gardens are the main source of income for Mingjiao, if they are really raided by the government one by one, then in a few years, Mingjiao will be able to grab a job with the beggars.

——The second day of the seventh month of the second year of Xuanhe

The lacquer garden, which was originally quite quiet, was crowded with people at this time, and there were men everywhere under the lacquer tree who were secretly talking to themselves.

This is another lacquer garden belonging to the Ming Sect, and it is only a mile away from the lacquer garden that was taken away by the Worship Bureau.

Fang La stood on a high place, looking at the lacquer garden not far away, which originally belonged to him, but now became the property of the Zhu family, and his angry hands were full of green tendons.

Yes, although Zhao Ji is mediocre, he has not reached the point of taking away other people's fields at will, and it is Wang Hao, Zhu Mian and others who make these things.

"Boom! Boom! Knock knock! ”

When the hour came, the drum that summoned everyone sounded, and everyone came to the middle of the lacquer garden, where the chairs had been set up, Fang La sat in the middle, and the left and right light envoys sat below, the four Dharma kings, the eight scattered people, the four banner masters of heaven and earth, wind and thunder, and others.

And the people of Fang La's family, such as his uncle Fang Yuan, his son Fang Tianding, his second brother Fang Fei, his third brother Fang Qifo, and his nephew Fang Jie all stood behind him.

Fang La looked at everyone and found that one of the four Dharma Kings was empty, and asked, "Has the Zhong Sect Master of Taihu Lake been notified?" ”

"Muslim Master, the decree has indeed been transmitted to Taihu Lake!"

Fang La sighed and said, "It seems that Sect Master Zhong still has an opinion about me."

Tongtian Bai Ze Lou Minzhong persuaded, "Sect Master, when he and our affairs are completed, Sect Leader Zhong and King Xia Rhino will understand the sect leader's painstaking efforts." ”

Fang La nodded and said, "That makes sense, okay, then we'll talk about big things first." ”

Fang La looked at everyone, and when he saw that everyone was staring at him, he stood up and said, "Brothers, the world and the country are the same. Today, there are children who work and weave, work hard all year round, and there are few silks, and their fathers and brothers take them and squander them; If you are a little unsatisfactory, you will be whipped and cruel, and you will be merciful to death. ”

Everyone shouted, "No! ”

Fang La continued to nod and said, "In addition to being sloppy, I also enmity with all my actions. If I rely on my wealth to enrich myself, but when I see insults, I will make my children respond. The children are able to support it, and they condemn everything. However, the things that are hated by the year are not invaded and insulted at the beginning, and you are safe? ”

The teeth of everyone were itching, and they shouted in unison, "Is there a reason for the world to be safe?" ”

Fang La said emotionally, and said with tears in his eyes, "Today, the emperor is mediocre, corrupt officials are rampant, the people are burdened with labor, there are many kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the government encroaches on the interests of fishermen, and the agricultural mulberry is not enough to supply. The sumac trees, the tree of the tree, the bamboo, the wood, etc., on which we depend, were requisitioned by them, and they left us nothing. We work hard all year round, wives and children are cold and hungry, begging for a day to eat but can't get it, and they indulge in lustful dogs and horses, build a lot of buildings, build ancestral halls and mausoleums, and collect what flowers and stones, and give Xixia and Liao Sui coins, millions every year, which are the blood and sweat of our people in the southeast! In the past two years, Huashigang has increased layer by layer, how can we bear it? What do you think you should do? ”

Someone below took the lead and shouted: "It's the other way around! It's the other way around! ”

Fang La continued: "If everyone can rise up in righteousness, the Quartet will definitely respond to the wind, and between the ten days, everyone can gather." First divide the river and rule, lightly pay for the meager endowment, in order to support the people. In ten years, the north and the south can be unified, and when the time comes, we will kill the Khitan and Western Xia, fight for a peace of all generations, and seek a bright world, what do you say? ”

"Good!" The crowd shouted in unison.

"Look, what's that?" An altar owner pointed to the sky, and when everyone looked at it, they saw a lantern-like thing, which slowly floated down at a height of more than ten zhang, and after a while, it floated in front of everyone, and just landed on a lacquer tree.

Someone had already gone up to get it, and when they took it down, they saw a yellow satin hanging under the lantern, just like the emperor's holy decree, with some words written on it, and everyone didn't recognize it.

Fang La said to the left and right, "We have just prepared to start an incident, and we have such a vision, I am afraid that there is an omen from heaven, who can interpret this book?" ”

One person said, "Let Lou Zuo take a look, he claims to know everything in the world." ”

Lou Minzhong touched his beard, took it and looked at it, and then said, "If I am not mistaken, this is the text of the pre-Qin period, let me figure it out." ”

As he spoke, Lou Minzhong drew and circled on it, and said for a long time: "There are twelve words on it." Then he read slowly: "Tianyuan is out, Yan Song is extinguished, ten thousand years are out, and the end of the year is standing." I don't know what it means! ”

Fang La said: "Come on, come on, let's think about it." ”

Qiu Rixin, one of the enemies of the Eight Scattered People, said, "This Tianyuan is out, I don't know what it means, the Yan Song Dynasty is extinguished, it seems that the Great Song Dynasty is about to fall." So Wan is in his early years, isn't it that a person surnamed Wan is about to be born? ”

"Hey, this is more than 10,000 years, it's just a square word!" Bao Daoyi, another Basan Lingying Heavenly Master, said with a smile, "The end of the year stands, the end of the year, that is, the wax moon, it is a wax character, this is preaching that the main emperor is the emperor!" ”

Only then did everyone suddenly realize, and they were about to cheer long live, but Fang La stopped, "Wait, let's figure out the previous sentence first." ”

"It's not simple, the sect leader will call himself Emperor Tianyuan!" The purple-clothed Taoist Zu Shiyuan proposed.

Fang La said: "Slow, we can't be called the emperor at this time, so let's do it, the army we pulled up is called the Tianyuan Army, I will call it 'Tianyuan Gong' first, and let's talk about it when we win the world in the future." Gao Yu said: "Then add the word 'saint' in front of the word gong, and call it Tianyuan Shenggong." ”

"Obey the orders of the Holy Father!"

Subsequently, according to Fang La's order, in less than five days, the nursery rhyme of "killing Zhu Mian, striking the flower stone, equalizing the fields, and sharing the wealth" was sung everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River.

On the eighth day of the seventh month of the second year of Xuanhe, Fang La officially started the incident, proclaimed himself the Holy Father of Tianyuan, and changed his name to Yongle, three months earlier than history.

Fang La has been preparing for a long time, although there is a lack of ordnance, but there are many personnel, and one thing will become a prairie fire.

First of all, Fang La personally led the sect to attack Shexian, killed Fang Youchang, who had occupied the paint garden before, and then distributed the grain to the people, which immediately attracted a large number of people to join the army.

Then, Fang La let Zu Shi attack Muzhou, Fang Yuan Ping Shezhou, the altar master Huo Chengfu and Chen Hoop Barrel attacked Chuzhou at night, Lu Shisang took Quzhou, less than a month, there were several states, and then, Fang La concentrated his military strength, personally led the army, with Shi Bao, Deng Yuanjue, Li Tianyan, Si Xingfang and others as generals, and his son Fang Tianding as the vanguard, attacking Hangzhou.

Hangzhou is the capital of Liangzhejiang Road, and it is also the location of the Creation Bureau, one of the command centers of Huashigang, gathering a large number of officials, wealthy merchants and landlords.

Now, the news can no longer be hidden.

That's right, it just can't be hidden, in fact, less than ten days after the incident in Fangla, Tokyo received the news, but for the people who just squeezed out Cai Jing, the civil unrest must not be promoted, otherwise Cai Jing is in power, there is nothing, as soon as Cai Jing leaves, civil unrest will break out, what will Zhao Ji think?

Don't think that Zhao Ji will think that the root of these things is in Cai Jing's policy, and the upper position will never think about who did this thing in the past, but only who is doing this thing now, which is why bureaucrats from ancient times to the present are unwilling to do things, and are only willing to do ordinary things.

——Bianliang Qionglou

"This Fang La has a good momentum, in less than two months, it has occupied five or six states, and it is said that the army has exceeded 100,000." Jiang De looked at the short newspaper and said with a smile.

Gongsun Sheng stroked the beard and said, "Poor Dao did not expect that the combat power of the Fang La army is so strong, although they are not as many as my Liangshan, but they have suffered from Huashi Gang for many years, once it erupts, it is like explosives, it is said that where Fang La crosses, all the officials, none of them are spared." ”

Jiang De shook his head and said, "In this way, although Fang La can summon the strength of the people, he has retreated all the gentry to the opposite side, and with Fang La's current strength, he is too anxious."

What happened to Hangzhou? ”

Shi Qian replied, "Back to the Hou Ye, Hangzhou is now three shocks a day, especially after the third general of the southeast of the Song Dynasty was completely annihilated by Fang La, Zhao Ting, the governor of Hangzhou, has fled, and as for Zhu Mian's father and son, he has run away, I don't think half a month, Hangzhou will fall. ”

"If Hangzhou is lost, half of the south of the Yangtze River is unstable, if Fang La is smart, he will definitely attack Changzhou, Suzhou, Jiangning Mansion and other places, in order to seek natural danger, and attack Mingzhou and Yuezhou in order to be stable, so that at least one or two years can be held." Jiang De analyzed: "Now it depends on when the imperial court reacts." ”

"Hehe, this time, I'm afraid Wang Hao will be sad!" Yan Qing gloated.

Jiang De said disapprerovingly, "Our official family, our ears are soft!" ”

Gongsun Sheng asked, "Master Hou, since the climate of Fangla has become a climate, should we make some preparations?" ”

Jiang De nodded and said, "This is our best chance to reach out to Jiangnan, Jiangnan squires have colluded with each other since ancient times to form a party to protect themselves, and now there is Fang La to help us be bad guys, isn't it the best result?"

Order, let all the soldiers and horses get ready, let Wu Di sell more weapons to Fang La, the longer he insists, the more local squires he kills, the less resistance we will have in the future. ”

"Obey!" Gongsun Sheng and others responded.
