Chapter 355: Although the people are remnants, they can boost morale

Fang La's face was full of joy, seeing that Hangzhou City was his. In this way, more than half of the entire Liangzhejiang Road was seized by him. Taking advantage of the fact that Liang Shanbo was in the north and was fighting with Zhao Tianzi today, he wanted to attack the city and plunder the land, occupy as much territory as possible, and expand his momentum. In this way, when the Song family in the north turned the spearhead to kill Jiangnan, it was able to withstand it.

If Liang Shanbo was really killed by the imperial court.

And this Hangzhou city is the road of the two Zhejiang Road, and it is also the location of the Creation Bureau, the center of the Huashi Gang, gathering a large number of officials, wealthy businessmen, and landlords. After seizing this place, Xu is armor will not be replenished much, but the money and food will definitely be abundant.

"The south gate has been opened?"

Fang Tianding also replied with a happy face: "The south gate and the west gate are open. As soon as the people in the city saw that the barracks were on fire and the townspeople gathered in the city were in turmoil, they immediately dispersed the officers and soldiers, and cooperated with our army to tie up the envoy Zhao Yue and open the south gate. The west gate was opened by Qian Zhenpeng led by Xiang Yong, and killed Chen Jian, the envoy of the system, in the chaos of the army. ”

"But it's cheaper." After hearing this, Fang La did not first praise his old brother Qian Zhenpeng for his great achievements, but opened his mouth to hate Chen Jiangou's cheap death. But this Manichaean method is extremely cruel, anyone who is caught by the righteous army Zhao and Song officials, they must cut off their flesh, cut off their limbs, take their lungs and intestines, or boil them into anointing oil, pierce their bodies with arrows, torture them in various ways, and repay their blood debts, so as to relieve their hatred.

And that Qian Zhenpeng is from the capital of Qingxi County, an old man of Manichaeism, and a cadre of the Fang La family. Martial arts are strong. Fang La's ability to gather troops in Qingxi County was thanks to his cover-up.

Later, he did not immediately rebel, but continued to hide in the countryside, relying on his good martial arts, made some contributions on the battlefield, and his status rose day by day, and his subordinates controlled a team of soldiers and horses, but most of them were Manichaean sworn friends.

This was rebelled in one fell swoop, and the city of Hangzhou also fell into the hands of Manichaeism in a blink of an eye.

Fang La asked his son again, "How many of your men have entered?" ”

Fang Tianding said: "I have asked Fang Jie to bring 200 cavalry and 3,000 foot soldiers into the city first, and now I am guarding the front and back doors of the residences of civil and military officials, eunuchs, and wealthy people in the city, and no one is allowed to enter or leave, and when the situation is stable, we will start to investigate." ”

This Fang La is not ready to kill all the rich families in the territory, and Liang Shanbo's set of them is also applicable to the army. It's just that this law he implemented was even more harsh, and many of the people who fell under Liang Shanbo were the masters who paid the money and were punished, and when they fell into the hands of Manichaeism, only one family died.

"That's the right thing to do." Fang La stroked his beard with satisfaction. After pondering for a while, he said to Fang Tianding: "You go and pass on my military order, it is strictly forbidden to burn, kill and loot the people, and if you dare to violate it, you will be killed." ”

As soon as he said that, he waved his hand and asked Fang Tianding to do it.

At this time, Fang Jie had already led hundreds of horse troops to the location of the domain, slashing and killing some Qingpi and rebellious troops who took advantage of the fire to loot along the way, and also killed two official and army leaders who looted people's houses. As soon as they reined in their horses and were about to go in, they saw Shi Bao striding out of it with a bloody sword.

Apparently this place has been cleared.

And the three kings also led a group of soldiers and horses directly into the prefect's yamen, and Zhao Ting, the prefect of Hangzhou, had fled.

The news came back to Fang La, and it was a pity for Fang La.

When many gates in Hangzhou were taken by him, Fang La had already begun to enter the city and asked, "Where is Wang Yin?" ”

Lou Minzhong said on the side: "He is free to search for the remnants of the rebels in various parts of the city. ”

In this way, Fang La asked Lou Minzhong, Zu Shiyuan, Shen Shou and others to draft a notice for the people, and asked the loud man to hold a gong, paging loudly, and shouting along the street.

In this way, Hangzhou, an important city at the top of the southeast boundary, fell into the hands of Manichaeism.

If it had been a year ago, such a thing would have exploded the whole world. But now it is not what it used to be, that Lu Qian has already taken the Qingzhou Mansion on Jingdong East Road, and has broken the Daimyo's Mansion twice, and also occupied the land of Qilu in Shandong, which is what Manichaeism has done, Liang Shanbo has already done. Moreover, Renliang Shanbo is a large army that has defeated the government again and again, which can be said to be a blue thread, overcoming thorns and thorns, all the way to this point. And what about Manichaeism? The defeated officers and soldiers of Fang La's gang were not even a fraction of the souls of Liang Shanbo's subordinate officers and soldiers. Everything is too easy for them now, too easy.

It's easy and easy to be unreal. It also puts a big question mark on the strength of Manichaeism.

"What did the people say to Zhao Yue, the envoy of Lian Visit?" Early one morning, Fang La sat in the lobby of the Yamen and asked. This person is still somewhat well-known on Liangzhejiang Road.

Lou Minzhong was the first to speak: "I asked the maids and servants in his family, as well as the neighbors on the left and right, Zhao Yue's servant Xiu looks quite famous, but in fact, he also connived at the slaves and evil servants to oppress the good people, and there are many victims in the neighborhoods, but they are afraid of Zhao Yue's official power, and they dare to be angry but dare not speak." After he was caught, the people of Hangzhou applauded more. ”

Fang La laughed when he heard this, "Is this Shilin's reputation so vain?" ”

Lou Minzhong sneered, he is a cultural person in Manichaeism, and he knows the so-called 'Shilin Qingming' best. "The name of the bullshit, the hope of the bullshit! It's just wearing the skin of a Taoist master, and he was touted by his fox and dog parties. Outsiders don't know the details and are deceived. Just ask the people of Hangzhou, who really says that he is good? The servants of his family rely on the power to bully others, solicit lawsuits, indulge in misfortune with others, talk too much about money, trap officials, and harm the people, who does not know? Not to mention that none of the people were angry with him, and not even among the many family members and servants he raised was really with him. There was a great chaos in the city, and the people raised their hands, and his dog's legs threw him down, and he ran away without leaving a single one. He wanted to run too, but he ran there and was captured by the people. There is a wrong, and there is a debtor. and if you cut down a tree, you will also choose the big one and cut it down. He is the top official in Hangzhou, so Chen Jian has died first, so this bird official is left conspicuous, if you don't kill him, who will you kill? ”

Fang La was silent after hearing this, turned to Zu Shiyuan and asked, "Do you think that Zhao Yue is willing to surrender?" "There was news in Liangshan Boli that Zhao Mingcheng, the son of Zaichen, had taken refuge, so that Fang La was not envious when he heard it.

Zu Shiyuan and Lou Minzhong secretly exchanged glances, they are two branches of Manichaeism, and their meaning is not only to pay attention to Fang La, but also to balance the weight and status of the two. didn't know that on a certain matter, these two people had already secretly made an agreement. It is okay to have a good official reputation, but it must be a petty official. If a high-ranking official like Zhao Yue joined Manichaeism, he would definitely use a high position to place him. Even if it's just a false title, it can't be guaranteed.

The biggest difference between Manichaeism and Liangshanbo is that the branches are intricately climbed, the mountains are numerous, and the roots are deep. There are old people in the sect who want to be raised high, and they can call outsiders to take food?

Zu Shiyuan replied: "Zhao Yue is not only a minister of the imperial court, but also a scholar of Qingliu, and he will not surrender because he pretends to be a disciple of the Cheng family. Since Xiaomin hates it deeply, and a clear name is false, how about killing it? ”

Lou Minzhong, Wang Yin, Shi Bao, Deng Yuanjue, and others all smiled at the same time and said, "Mr. Zu is right, why not kill him." Fang Xiang, Fang Tianding, and the others here also nodded.

Fang La saw that the opinions of the two major factions under his command were unanimous, and he was happy in his heart and nodded in response. In this way, the fate of Zhao Yue was decided.

Fang La looked at Lou Min and asked again, "Even so, when will this Zhao Yue be executed?" ”

"Since we will kill now, we will be tried and judged, firstly, to incite the people, and secondly, not to make people say that we have indiscriminately killed innocents, and provoked our heroes to be tarnished in the future." Wang Yin spoke. Although he had some selfish intentions in killing Zhao Yue, Zhao Yue's old dog really deserved to die.

Fang La clapped his hands when he heard this.

This Manichaean matter was put aside, and I went back to Jeju Mansion.

At this moment, Tong Guan's army had already entered Yanggu from Fan County, and Lu Qian also led his main force from Yuncheng to Qinghe. The war between the two sides was about to break out, but it first suffered the local people.

As mentioned above, the Song army's extermination of the rebels was not only ruthless to the rebels, but also to the people where the uprising broke out. The killing of good and risky achievements, arson and plunder, harassment of places, and persecution of children to follow the thief's affairs are really not uncommon for the Song army.

Many large local families who escaped under Liang Shanbo looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally looked forward to the officials and soldiers, but what they were waiting for was their own family ruin.

After all, in Tong Guan's eyes, this Yangsanbo is so huge that Jeju Mansion is like a den of thieves. Those rich families with thousands of dollars in their families were able to escape from the Liangshan thieves, and this must be the home of the bandits. Those poor ghosts who have no money to spare are bound to be potential supporters of Liang Shanbo.

He had sent out a vanguard army and a partial division earlier, but the forward was defeated and the partial division was in vain. As a result, the morale of the army was greatly reduced. Now the plundering of the place, although the remnants of the people, can boost morale. The war is imminent, and the most important thing on this side, even if it discards some popular support, is only a trivial matter.

Of course, Tong Guan is about to meet Liang Sanbo with a knife and gun, and the unlucky people are not only the people of Jeju. First, Guan Dadao was completely refrigerated, even Zhao Liangsi didn't dare to intercede with him; The second is that the official position of the Chenzhou Observer Envoy was erased [the official rank is not sent], that is, the loose official of General Mingwei from the fourth rank was also reduced to the third rank and demoted to the rank of Zhaowu Lieutenant. But even so, Tong Guan did not cut off the right to command the troops, after all, compared with Wu Bingyi, the supervisor of Chenzhou and Han Tianlin, the supervisor of Tangzhou, it is undoubtedly more reliable. He just ordered him to take Jeju City as soon as possible.

"Yangsanbo is a fierce soldier, and this thief of Jeju City is guarding it, so how can it be easily taken?" Zhekeqiu, who had lost a layer of skin, returned to the outside of Jeju City, and told him about such an encounter and Zhekeke, which caused the latter to complain.

It is possible to ask for it, but it is not agreed. First of all, he ordered the soldiers to collect their troops and cultivate without fighting. But the battle in the north is already on the line, and if the main force of Yangsanbo is defeated in this battle, this Jeju city will naturally be self-defeating; And if Tong Guan is defeated, there is no need for him to fight this Jeju City again.

Countless people's eyes were on Qinghe.

Guan Sheng doesn't go to read Spring and Autumn at night, but just uses chess pieces to play games and silently deduce the battle situation.

Hao Siwen looked up from the tent, the stars were dense, the waning moon was in the sky, and there was already a layer of pale white on the ground, I don't know if it was frost or moonlight, I only felt that the sound of the bucket in the camp was louder than usual, and it was also extraordinarily dry. The war is about to break out, and his brother has no blood but no place to do it. Jing Mu Qian glanced at Guan Sheng again, but just sighed, his brother's luck was too bad. Now they are all beaten to escort grain and grass, don't even think about this achievement.

In this way, it is really better to stay in Pudong. I heard that there was a Tian Tiger in Weishengzhou, Hedong, and it was very noisy. If they are still in Pudong, isn't this the place where their brothers will come in?

Hao Siwen, who thinks highly of himself, directly sees Tian Hu as the one who 'there is no tiger in the mountains, and the monkey is called the king'.
