Chapter 342: The End of the Year War (8)
In the Song Dynasty, Guang'an Prefecture was called Guang'an Army, and began to build a fortress on Xiuping Mountain (Note 1) in the west of Guang'an City, which was the prototype of Guang'an City.
In the Ming Dynasty, Guang'an Prefecture was a scattered prefecture under Shunqing Prefecture, under the jurisdiction of Qu County, Yuechi, Dazhu, Linshui four counties, across the east and west of the Huaying Mountains.
Guang'an City is up and down inside and outside the city, known as "Little Chongqing City", and has been the most important canal river water wharf since ancient times. But Guang'an City is not big, east of the Qujiang River, west to Xiuping Mountain, sandwiched between the mountains and rivers, the width is not more than a mile; It starts from the south gate in the south and reaches the north gate in the north, and is up to two miles long. The city has five gates (Note 2), and the bluestone fortress is a fortress. Outside the west gate, there is Xiuping Jicui, outside the south gate, there are high rock steep and Xixi water river meandering, outside the east gate there are canal river waves, the Huaying mountain range stretches for thousands of miles in the distance, and the end is an important town that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
In order to control the passes of the Huaying Mountains and the canal and river waterways, the Ming Dynasty set up Guang'an to guard thousands of households in Guang'an Prefecture. However, all this was carefully arranged, and it did not stop the collapse and rebellion from within.
At dusk, a wave of local thugs poured into the city from the west gate of Guang'an. Wielding broadswords and spears, they brutally drove away the parishioners who had been defending the city, and firmly occupied the gate tower of the west gate. Zhang Guangpei stepped on the West Gate Tower with a gloomy face and looked at the state government not far from the West Gate (Note 3). The tall Yimen outside the state ya, like the nearby Guancang, Wumiao, and Chenghuang Temple, has been mottled and dilapidated, and it is difficult to imagine how magnificent it once was.
A cacophony of footsteps came from the stairs.
"Nothing!"
Zhang Guangpei quickly put some smiles on his face, turned around and saw that more than a dozen local riot leaders had come. Five of them were his subordinates, and the rest were Shaker's subordinates.
"Brothers! Presumably everyone knows, the eldest brother wants the younger brother to join forces with him to deal with He Jiaqi in the city and the officials and troops outside the city. The younger brother is not talented, but he can be appreciated by the eldest brother, which is a blessing for three lives! β
The big brother in Zhang Guangpei's mouth is Jiang Chengren, who escaped by luck in the Battle of Changping Mountain. After he collected the remnants of Yao Yuchuan, he also collected the remnants of Yang Bingyin, who had fled nearby, and with the secret support of Zhang Guangpei, who was known as Bai Wuchang, he regathered five or six hundred men and horses in more than a month. In order to keep the well-known name of shaking the sky from falling, and in order to make himself equal to other local tyrants from all walks of life, Jiang Chengren took over the young master Yao Yuchuan, who was killed by him, and re-raised the banner of shaking the sky, becoming the third generation of shaking the sky. This time he went south, and he gained a huge harvest near Qu County, and he coerced nearly 3,000 people at once. It's just that his strength is far from Yuan Tao and Chen Lin, who are both in Qu County, and there is a big gap between them, so in order to have a piece of their own territory, he led the way to this Guang'an City. At present, he is the strongest among the local tyrants from all walks of life in this Guang'an city.
"Where! Bai Wuchang was originally a general under the King of Heaven. The defeat of Pingshan, the commander of the shake battalion, was the one who gave the brothers life-saving food and silver. Now that Brother Jiang and Brother Bai are co-opping, the brothers are all overjoyed! The brothers said that in the future, except for Brother Jiang, they will listen to your Brother Bai's orders. β
The name of the person who spoke was Jiang Wan. He is Jiang Chengren's brother, and he is also a veteran of the Qin soldiers who followed the first generation of rebellion.
Zhang Guangpei laughed. He bowed his hand to the surrounding rioters and said boldly: "Brothers, carry love, Bai is grateful!" From now on, there will be rice from my Baiying, and there will be rice from Yaoying! β
Waiting for the noise of the local tyrants to subside, Zhang Guangpei lowered his face and said: "Wait a while, why not add up to the rich man of the land to convene the leaders of the rebels from all walks of life to discuss matters in the state government, counting on our brother to give him his life." Brother Jiang has orders, you are like this...... Do you understand? β
β¦β¦
He Jiaqi, who calls himself Lao Buddha, is called a demon by the government, and is called a rich man by the local tyrants, and is a middle-aged man in his forties. Zhou's dress up and down looks like a standard gentry, without the slightest hint of Buddha, demonic and rustic.
In fact, before the rebellion, He Jiaqi was an authentic gentry. The other gentry inherited houses, shops, property, and servants from their ancestors, and he inherited many from his ancestors. It's just that he has inherited one more thing than the other gentry, that is, the position of the head of the White Lotus Sect at the entrance of the Guang'an Altar.
Since the incident, He Jiaqi has had a few days of comfort. The Guang'an Zhizhou who once insulted him on the street jumped to his death in the city, the Guang'an teacher who did not allow him to study in the state hanged his tongue, the woman who withdrew his dowry and married someone else took off her clothes and came back, and even the boss of Wang Mazi, who bullied him when he was a child, dragged a broken leg to beg him. He Jiahuan happily occupied the Guang'an Prefecture Ya, and people changed the plaque and changed the lobby into the "childless old mother" hall; He also took out the treasure scroll that had been treasured at home for many years, together with the leather box, and offered it to the incense table in the main hall.
Now, with a large army of officers and soldiers pressing the border, a bloody battle will inevitably break out under the city of Guang'an, and he can't care about dealing with these trivial matters. After receiving the news of Luo Du's loss, he immediately invited his own cathar army and heroes from all walks of life to his old mother's hall to discuss how to repel the official army.
When the people reported that the people had arrived, he added that he paced from the second hall to the main hall. As soon as he appeared, dozens of parishioners immediately shouted mightily in the hall:
"Vacuum hometown, no biological mother!"
"King Ming was born, Maitreya was born!"
The sound is loud and the effect is good. He Jia snickered in his heart, these local tyrants in Bashan should understand that Guang'an City is my territory!
He Jiaqi slowly sat down in the middle, glanced around, coughed lightly, and started the opening remarks:
"Saint Protectors, Rebel Heroes! Since the sect leader has adhered to the will of the old mother and broken this red dust world, the fetal daughter of the emperor of Guang'an can finally get rid of the misery! Last night, the sect leader dreamed of the old mother, and the old mother said to the sect leader that as long as the official army is defeated, all the dead souls can be collected into the vacuum hometown. There are rice mountains, face mountains, silk mountains, gold and silver mountains in my hometown, and I can't eat them all......"
Well! Well! Someone in the hall was coughing loudly.
He Jiaqi suddenly realized that he was not preaching to his parishioners today, and most of the people in the church were not his followers.
"Since the martyrdom of the Left Protector and his ascension to heaven, this sect has lost one general to lead the army." He Jiaqi had to lie and say that Ge Junci had died, "But now that the heroes of the righteous army have arrived, the sect leader is no longer worried." Today's discussion in the palace is to invite which hero to take the initiative to invite Ying, leading the divine soldiers and generals ......"
The middle-aged man sitting at the top of the left side suddenly stood up and interrupted He Jiaqi's speech. He had a messy beard, carried a big knife on his back, and asked loudly in a Shaanxi accent, "May I ask Sect Master He, since you have a mountain of gold, a mountain of silver, a mountain of rice, and a mountain of noodles, why don't you take it out and give a few insights to your brothers?" β
His face was slapped by others, and He Jiaqi suddenly regretted it. Is it right or wrong to invite these murderous thugs into the city to help in the war? But it's easy to please God and it's hard to send God, and now I can only bite the bullet:
"The lifeless old mother gave the sect master a dream, saying that this mountain of gold, silver, rice, and noodles is shelved in the vacuum hometown. As long as we defeat the official army and let Baiyang illuminate the world, don't say that this mountain of gold, silver, rice, and noodles, what the heroes want, there is something in the vacuum hometown! β
"Lao Tzu doesn't worry about eating and drinking, but there is a shortage of women!" A white young man in the hall shouted strangely.
The lobby burst into laughter. Just now, the middle-aged man put one foot on the official hat chair, laughed loudly and asked, "Bai Wuchang, Lao Tzu only sent someone to send you three yesterday, and you finished it so quickly?" β
"Little brother, thank you for shaking the big brother! It's just that...... Shake big brother, your goods there are too bad! As much as the fucking pigsty arches out, it still smells of pig shit! Brother Shao, don't you have any young ladies and officials there? β
"Your white impermanence vision is not low, and you are still a fucking young lady!" Jiang Chengren snorted coldly, but his eyes squinted at He Jiaqi who was sitting in the hall, "You Brother Bai don't know, those young ladies and officials have become fucking mothers, and they have been offered to the shrine by our Sect Master He!" β
"Then Lao Tzu will be his mother!" Bai Wuchang roared.
"This doesn't mean that Sang is scolding Huai, but that he is joining forces to force the palace!" He Jiaqi understood.
As soon as the two earth-tyrants in the hall and Bai Wuchang began, the other earth-tyrants would soon join the chorus. Sure enough, the local thugs in the hall were not stupid, and they made a fuss one after another. Some want silver, some want food, and some want strong men. The chairs and coffee tables in the lobby were slammed, and even the tea bowls were smashed.
"Heroes of the Righteous Army!" Seeing that today's matter was going to make a big fuss, He Jiaqi had no choice but to put aside his sect leader's shelf, and walked down to make a gesture one by one, "Heroes, heroes, leaders, what do you have to say, please understand and report a plate!" β
He started to talk about it, and the local thugs stopped playing.
Jiang Chengren said: "You have soldiers and no generals, it is better to divide the soldiers and hand them over to the rebels from all walks of life to help you take over!" β
Zhang Guangpei said: "Your old mother is for fart, it is better to give them to the brothers to be mothers-in-law!" β
The leader sent by Liu Weiming, the rebel king, said: "The officials and soldiers have all called, what are you doing with the gold, silver and grain in your treasury?" And they don't pay our brothers for military salaries! β
The hairy dog sent by Chen Lin said: "What treasures are there in Guang'an City, Sect Master He can't help but be righteous and hide it from our brothers!" Otherwise, the brothers will make a fuss......"
The atmosphere in the lobby is buoyant, and the fire is imminent; Outside the yamen, the eagle looked at the wolf and sharpened the knife. Seeing that the situation was not good, the believers of the church who sang mightily quickly smeared oil on the soles of their feetβslipped, and threw their sect leader He Jia alone on the hall.
The wood is done, and there is no way to recover. He Jia sighed, put the treasure scroll he offered on the incense table in the main hall into a leather box, and walked into the second hall in a gloomy manner, leaving the lobby to the local tyrants.
Hahaha! The thugs burst into laughter.
"The top priority is to defeat the besieging officers. And to defeat the official army, we must first launch a leading big brother! Seeing that the local tyrants present were nodding yes, Bai Wuchang Zhang Guangpei took the lead in proposing: "Since this place has the loudest and highest position with the banner of shaking the sky, the younger brother, please shake the eldest brother to take the seat in the middle!" β
"White impermanence, good brother! Since you are literate and a general sent by the King of Heaven, please temporarily assume the position of military advisor! Jiang Chengren, who sat on the throne in the middle, immediately returned the favor.
β¦β¦
The sky was getting dark, and the back hall of the Luodu Tax Customs Yamen had already been lit with candles. Liao Daheng, the governor of Sichuan who had just met Wang Xingjian and Zhao Ronggui, hurried over to tell Zhu Pingjin about the talks.
"They are going to attack Guang'an City alone?" Zhu Pingjin was a little puzzled.
"Exactly. The old man is ready! β
Liao Daheng had a vague smile on his face: "They are afraid that the Protector Army will rob them of their credit, and they are afraid that they will share their capture." β
Shu Guoping couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up suddenly: "These officials and thieves! The country is in danger, and they still want to make a fortune in the country! β
"Since they are in a hurry to go into battle to kill the enemy, this official cannot cold their heart to serve the court. Otherwise, they will hand over a chapter to impeach the official, saying that the official is afraid of the enemy like a tiger and so on! β
Liao Daheng finally held back a wicked smile and said, "It's just that they beat their chests and beat Guang'an, and a military order here is indispensable for the old man!" β
"That's fine!"
Zhu Pingjian, who pondered for a moment, made up his mind: "We will redraw the battle plan on the premise of the defeat of Wang Xingjian and Zhao Ronggui!" Mr. Shu and General Song, you two are in charge! After an hour, discuss the new plan here! β
Note 1: Also known as Cuiping Mountain, now Cuiping Park, Guang'an City.
Note 2: In the Ming Dynasty, Guang'an City did not have a new south gate, so there were only five gates.
Note 3: Xiangmu did not find the Guang'an Prefecture Chronicles of the Ming Dynasty, so he had no choice but to replace it with the Qing Dynasty Prefecture Chronicles.
