Chapter 60: The Rebellion of Wuyongdu (1)
After reading Yang Xingmi's warrant, Yang Wu was immediately overjoyed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info He was also worried that this incident would have a bad impact on him, because in this era, it is too common for generals in the army to make trouble, but Yang Wu directly killed Ma Qin, which is likely to cause some people to be jealous.
The current Wei Bo military festival envoy Luo Shaowei, his father Luo Hongxin was just a pro-army capital before he became the festival envoy, and the reason why he was able to take the position was related to Wei Bo's pro-army fear of Wei Bo's festival envoy at that time.
At that time, Le Yanzhen had a son named Le Congxun, who recruited troops in Xiangzhou, but caused the resentment of Wei Bo's pro-army, worried that he would divide his rights in the future. Le Yanzhen was afraid of the pro-army mutiny, so he became a monk. The pro-army unceremoniously elected a capital head named Zhao Wenben as the queen of Jiedu to lead Wei Bo's army; Who knew that Le Congxun in Xiangzhou did not do it, he first obtained the support of Zhu Quanzhong, and then raised troops to attack Weizhou, the seat of Wei Bo's army.
Although Zhao Wenben was elected as the queen of Jiedu, he was actually a straw bag, he was afraid of fighting with Le Congxun, and hid in the Jiedu embassy and could not come out, as a result, Wei Bo's pro-army once again launched a mutiny and killed Zhao Wenben.
Because at this time, Weizhou had been surrounded by Le Congxun, and the situation was critical, and the pro-army generals were a little afraid and did not dare to come forward, only Luo Hongxin took the initiative to stand up, so the pro-army recommended him as the new festival envoy.
Like Le Congxun, he just recruited his own army, which aroused the fear of the pro-army; Yang Wu is now killing Ma Qin because of "a little thing", who knows if someone is secretly afraid of him?
Therefore, in his opinion, his prestige in the army is not deep enough, and now is not the time to rectify the military discipline of the entire Huainan army. He can't make a rash move, he has to wait until his foundation is deep.
As for how to lay a solid foundation, the best way is naturally to build up military exploits.
In history, after Li Keyong's death, his son Li Cunqiao ascended the throne, and there were many generals who disagreed. In the Battle of Luzhou not long after, Li Cunqiao led his army to defeat Zhu Quanzhong, and suddenly the generals who opposed him before changed their attitudes; Similarly, when Chai Rong first ascended the throne of Later Zhou Shizong, there were many people in the court who opposed him, but Chai Rong was in the face of the Khitan army that took advantage of the fire to rob him, but he was the leader of the personal conquest, and as a result, he defeated the Khitans in Gaoping, and took advantage of the victory to rectify military discipline, and beheaded more than 70 soldiers such as Fan Aineng and He Hui, who were not effective in the battle, and since then the combat effectiveness of the Later Zhou army has increased significantly, laying the foundation for the gradual unification of the world in the Northern Song Dynasty in the future.
Therefore, Yang Wu is now also waiting for an opportunity to establish a meritorious career, as long as he has a deep foundation, he will begin to gradually strengthen the military discipline of the Huainan army.
With Yang Xingmi's endorsement, Yang Wu left satisfied.
However, what he didn't know was that something he didn't seem to care about today would almost cause him to regret it for the rest of his life.
In Zhang Hao's camp, "What, then Yang Wu killed Ma Qin?" How dare he? ”
Unexpectedly, he really didn't expect Yang Wu to be so bold.
Ma Qin really didn't have his idea to make trouble, it's just that Ma Qin himself suddenly went crazy; But now that Ma Qin has been killed, he feels pain in his skin!
Because Ma Qin is not only his cronies and subordinates, but also his brother-in-law! His favorite concubine was Ma Qin's sister. Remembering that he was driven out of the pro-army by Yang Wu, not to mention, now even his brother-in-law was killed by Yang Wu, how can he not hate!
"Yang Wu, I, Zhang Hao, will not be a person if I don't avenge today!"

In the following period, except for occasional visits to the Jiedu Embassy to participate in collegial meetings, Yang Wu basically stayed in the barracks to train soldiers the rest of the time.
The reason why they still have to train so strictly in such a hot weather is because the incident of Ma Dutou's kidnapping of Chen Fan made Yang Wu feel very dissatisfied, thinking that they still need a period of training.
Of course, the more important reason is because Yang Wu knows that the opportunity he is waiting for to make a contribution will come soon.
In August, there will be a rebellion in the Wuyong capital under Qian Biao in Liangzhejiang, which is undoubtedly a good time for the Huainan army to attack Qian Biao.
Qian Bi's rise was a little later than Yang Xingmi's. When the Huangchao rebel army ravaged Liangzhejiang, Liangzhejiang established the Badu Soldiers in order to protect themselves, and Qian Bi was one of the generals of Shijingdu, which belonged to Dong Chang, the assassin of Hangzhou at that time. Later, Dong Chang took Qian Biao as his general, and after conquering Yuezhou, Taizhou and other eastern Zhejiang territories, he transferred the administrative office to Yuezhou, and Qian Biao was left by Dong Chang to guard Hangzhou because of his meritorious service.
In the second year of Qianning, in 895 AD, Dong Chang was proclaimed emperor in Yuezhou, and Qian Biao took the opportunity to raise troops in Hangzhou to attack Dong Chang, and after several years of hard war, he finally defeated Dong Chang and captured Liangzhejiang. In this process, it was Wu Yongdu who made a big contribution to Qian Biao.
However, in history, there will be a major rebellion in Wuyong next month, and after the rebellion, because Qian Biao responded in time, the rebels failed to capture Hangzhou quickly. So the rebel leaders Xu Juan and Xu Zaisi decided to look for foreign aid, and the foreign aid they found was Xuanzhou Assassin Shi Tian Yan.
In September, Tian Yan sent troops to Hangzhou, but Qian Biao was difficult to resist. However, Yang Xingmi's jealousy of Tian Yan was even more than that of Qian Di, and he was worried that Tian Yan would take the opportunity to expand his power and make it more difficult to pay in the future, so he opposed Tian Yan sending troops to help the rebels. This situation was somehow known to Gu Quanwu, and under Gu Quanwu's persuasion, Qian Biao sent Gu Quanwu and his son Qian Chuanqian to Guangling to ask Yang Xingmi for marriage. Yang Xingmi agreed to Qian Di's request, married his daughter to Qian Chuanjun, and at the same time sent an envoy to Tian Yan and said, "Come back quickly, otherwise I will send someone else to guard Xuanzhou instead of you." ”
"Guarding Xuanzhou instead of me? I'm afraid that this substitution, Xuanzhou will not be mine. Tian Yan had no choice but to withdraw under pressure, and before withdrawing the army, he did not forget to ask Qian Biao for a bribe of 200,000 yuan.
This incident further broke the already tense relationship between Yang Xingmi and Tian Yan, and almost tore his face. From then on, Tian Yan didn't think twice, and single-mindedly contacted Runzhou Assassin Shi An Renyi to prepare for rebellion.
However, Qian Biao took the opportunity to defeat the rebels, regained control of Liangzhejiang, and became the biggest beneficiary. Later, Qian Biao and his descendants ruled the two provinces until the Song Dynasty unified the world, during which they were Huainan's fierce rivals for more than 70 years.
Yang Wu didn't know why his father would make the decision to help Qian Biao. In his opinion, Tian Yan certainly needs to be suppressed, but Qian Biao should not be underestimated. At least this time, if history has not changed, Yang Wu will definitely persuade his father to send troops, even if Tian Yan gets the benefit in the end, it doesn't matter, first defeat Qian Biao completely.
Because of this intention, he has been working hard to train his soldiers, hoping to build his subordinates into an elite army before the rebellion in Wuyongdu.
Fortunately, his subordinates were all surrendered soldiers, not those unruly Huainan veterans, so they trained hard in this hot environment for nearly two months, and in the end, there was no mutiny or anything like that.
Of course, in addition to training, Yang Wu did not forget to contact Zhou Mengjie. These days, the relationship between him and Zhou Mengjie has progressed rapidly, and they often meet at Yang Jing's place, and they usually give gifts to each other, although they have not officially clarified the relationship, but each other's intentions have been understood.
