Chapter 108: Fangla Uprising (4)

The officials here in Hangzhou have a very good idea, and they want to send troops to arrest Fang La.

But it's a pity that the official mansion in Jiangnan has been infiltrated by Fang La.

Not to mention the officials in the yamen, many of the soldiers stationed there were Manichaean believers, and even Chen Jian, the envoy of the Liangzhejiang Road, and Zhao Ting, the prefect of Hangzhou, had many followers of Manichaeism.

As soon as Hangzhou City made the decision to send troops, someone quickly went to report to Fang La.

In a private house in Qingxi County, Fang La and Chai Jin were discussing whether to send someone to contact this gang of thieves in Liangshan to revolt together.

Lu Shisang hurriedly ran into Fang La's study.

He took a breath and shouted, "Brother Fang La's big thing is not good!" I don't know who wrote in the city of Hangzhou, 'Kill the pig and pick the cover, the darkness is about to pass, and the light is coming!'" "Now Chen Jian has sent 5,000 soldiers and horses to arrest the sect leader. Moreover, Gao Yu's traitorous minister is also leading an army of 100,000 towards Jiangnan! ”

Hearing Lu Shinang's announcement, Fang La was suddenly shocked, "What? Hangzhou really sent 5,000 troops, and Gao Yu really led 100,000 troops to come? ”

"My subordinates have confirmed it again and again, it's true!" Lu Shisang shouted.

"Damn it! Who did it in Hangzhou, it's a big thing for me! Fang La heard the angry scolding.

Although this period of time was developing rapidly, Fang La was not yet fully prepared for the uprising.

Damn, and the imperial court even sent so many soldiers and horses this time.

Fang La was a little frightened!

Seeing that Fang La was frightened by the 100,000 officers and soldiers, Chai Jin on the side shouted, "Brother Fang La, if you keep interrupting, you will suffer from it!" Now that the imperial court has sent troops to encircle and suppress us. We should strike first, first capture Qingxi County, and then take advantage of the victory to attack to the east, attack Muzhou and Hangzhou in the east, and expand our chassis. At that time, even if he is against Gao Yu's enemy, he will have a few more chances of winning. As long as we can defeat Gao Yu, this Jiangnan will naturally be in our pocket at that time! ”

Fang La heard that during this time, with the support of the Chai family's property, he recruited troops and horses, hoarded materials, and now his strength has increased greatly, and he also has 30,000 soldiers who can fight, as long as he captures these places in Hangzhou, he may not have the strength to fight a battle!

This increase in strength gave Fang La a lot of confidence, and he shouted: "Since the imperial court doesn't give us a way to live, we will rise up." Give back the people of the world a bright and full kun! ”

On the evening of the ninth day of the ninth month of September, when Fang La finished his work and was about to go home.

Passing by a mountain rock, suddenly Fang La saw a mountain rock not far away, and it was blazing in an instant.

Fang La exclaimed, "Look, why is that stone rock as bright as day? ”

The surrounding lacquer workers turned their heads when they heard it, and sure enough, a stone rock not far away was blazing into the sky, like daylight.

Lu Shinang, who was mixed in the crowd, hurriedly shouted: "Everyone go and take a look, maybe there is some treasure!" ”

When these lacquer workers heard this, they immediately ran over, the stone rock was not high, and soon many people climbed the stone rock, and there was a cave in the middle of the stone rock pass.

When Fang La and the others walked into the cave, many people saw a pile of flames burning on the ground.

But when they walked over, the flame suddenly disappeared, and there was not even a single firewood in sight.

When Lu Shisang saw it, he shouted, "Dig up the dirt in that place!" ”

Several people hurriedly threw away the soil with their hands, only to see that there was a book on Huangling silk in the soil.

These people were illiterate, and they hurriedly took the book to Lu Shinang.

Lu Shisang took it and opened it to see that there was a talisman whisper, and he immediately clapped his hands excitedly: "This is the Heavenly Book Talisman!" Everyone, please take a look! ”

It turned out that the book was painted with a talisman drawing: a roof with a single wooden palm like an umbrella was burning, and thousands of people were surging, but one person came out to hold a torch.

On the second page, there are four sayings: The treasure cover covers the wood and the wood is rotten, the grass and trees are burning in the autumn, the Holy Sect saves people from the fire house, and the Yuan Yuan people want to come out.

Lu Shisang shouted: "Bao Gai Gaimu is Song, and the first sentence clearly refers to Song has decayed; Grass and Zhao have one meaning. The second sentence refers to the Zhao dynasty being burned, and the same as Xiao, the Zhao dynasty fled like a lost dog; The third sentence makes it very clear that we wait for Manichaeism to save people's fire; The fourth sentence of Yuan Yuan Wanzhong wants to come out, isn't it just a little square on the ten thousand words! Brother Fang La, this is God asking you to overthrow this mediocre Song Dynasty and save the people of the dawn of the world! ”

Fang La heard it and hurriedly shouted, "Senior Brother Lu, are you trying to trap me as an unfaithful and unrighteous person?" ”

Lu Shisang shouted: "No." Today, the Zhao family is mediocre, traitors are rampant, and the people of the world are miserable! Brother Fang La, you should uphold the will of heaven and call on the people to overthrow this rotten court and return the people to a Lang Lang Quankun! ”

Fang La suddenly changed color and shouted, "Am I the one who does the work of a thief!" ”

When Fang La just wanted to leave, Lu Shisang hurriedly grabbed Fang La's hand and cried: "Today, everyone is looking forward to Fang La's saving the people." If we don't follow what we say, it will be discouraged. ”

"There is no need to say anything about this matter, our party will not be a rebel and thief!" Fang La shouted.

Lu Shinang, Fang Jie and the others who had agreed early on the morning knelt on the ground and shouted: "Brother Fang La's acquisition of this Heavenly Book Talisman today is just adhering to the will of heaven!" Brother Fang La, you are not born to save the people of Dawn, eternity is like a long night, what is the life of Na Cang! ”

Many of these people today are Manichaean believers, and when they saw this, they also knelt down and shouted, "Master, you must save us from the sea of suffering!" ”

"You're trying to force me to be unfaithful and unjust!" Fang La sighed and shouted.

When Lu Shisang heard that Fang La agreed, he said happily: "Since Brother Fang La has approved our request, you can build an altar and choose auspiciousness, and raise an army against the Song Dynasty!" ”

When Fang Jie heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground and shouted, "Long live the sect leader, long live, long live!" ”

As if inadvertently, when Fang Jie stood up, he stepped on the dirt one by one. Suddenly, the cold light of the blade was revealed. He hurriedly shouted, "There are still weapons underground!" ”

Hearing this, the others hurriedly threw away the dirt, revealing a large number of weapons.

Seeing this, Lu Shisang shouted happily: "This is the Heavenly Assistant!" Heavenly Book and Heavenly Soldiers, Zhao Song will undoubtedly fall! ”

As hundreds of people dug out their weapons from the cave, they excitedly walked down the mountain with their weapons. There are countless believers who immediately spread the news that the sect leader Fang La had obtained the "Heavenly Talisman" in a cave.

For a time, it was rumored throughout Jiangnan that Fang La had obtained the news that Fang La had obtained the "Heavenly Talisman" and that Fang La was the son of Destiny.

Less than half a day after arriving at the "Heavenly Talisman", Fang La gathered thousands of poor peasants in the lacquer garden of the Qingxi Gang, all of whom were staunch followers of Manichaeism.

Fang La stood on a stone step and angrily accused everyone: "The principle of the country and the family are the same. If the junior ploughs the fields and weaves cloth all year round, and accumulates a little grain and cloth, he will use it all for his father and brother. If the father and brother are not satisfied, they will beat and abuse the juniors, and even torture and execute them. You say, "Can you endure it willingly?" ”

When these believers heard this, they were angry and said, "No! ”

Fang La said: "Squander and waste what is left, and take it all and dedicate it to the enemy." When the enemy becomes richer and richer on our supplies, he robs and abuses us, and the father and brother let their children deal with them. If the strength of the children cannot support it, then condemnation and punishment will be all-encompassing. However, what is given to the enemy every year is never forfeited because it has been insulted by the enemy, can you bear it with peace of mind? ”

Believers say, "How can this be true?" ”

Fang La said with tears in her eyes: "Now that taxes and labor are so heavy, the officials plunder and extort, and the income from agriculture and sericulture is not enough to meet the needs, all we rely on for our lives is lacquer, bamboo, and wood, and all the taxes and regulations used by the government under various names have been collected, and nothing is left." Heaven gave birth to the people and set up officials for them, which was originally used to raise the people, but the government was vicious and cruel to such an extent! Can providence and the human heart not be angry? Moreover, in addition to squandering on singing and dancing women, hunting with dogs and horses, building palaces, sacrificing ghosts and gods, expanding armaments, and collecting strange flowers and stones, the silver silk bribed by the two major enemies in the west and north every year must be calculated in millions of numbers, which are the fat and blood and sweat of our people in the southeast. When the two great enemies got these treasures, they despised us even more, and they continued to harass us year after year. The imperial court's dedication to the enemy was never abolished, and the rulers still considered it a long-term strategy to stabilize the frontier. However, our people work hard all year round, and our wives and children are cold and hungry, and we can't eat enough for a day. ”

The believers were indignant and said, "We are all willing to obey your master!" ”

Fang La shouted: "In the past thirty years, the old ministers of the patriarch have been demoted, and there are almost no left, and now those in power are some despicable, dirty, treacherous and flattering guys, who only know how to use singing and dancing women and building palace gardens to confuse and bewitch the emperor, and they don't care about national affairs at all." Local officials outside the capital were also corrupt and extravagant, and did not consider local political affairs as important issues. The people of the southeast have been suffering from exploitation for a long time! In recent years, the infestation of the flower stone class has been particularly intolerable. If you can preside over justice and launch an uprising, all parts of the country will surely hear the wind and respond; In ten days, tens of thousands of people can be gathered. When the local officials heard of this, they would definitely appease us and negotiate with us, and it would not be convenient for them to report to the imperial court immediately. We use tactics to contain them, drag on for a month or two, and the counties in Jiangnan can be captured in one fell swoop. After the imperial court received the application, it could not immediately decide to send troops, and it was expected that it would take more than a month to delay and gather for discussion; It is not necessary to mobilize and train the army and transfer food and salaries for half a year, so it has been a year before and after we started the army. At this point, the situation should be basically determined, and there is no need to worry. Moreover, the monetary tribute to the foreign enemies in the west and north was millions every year, and the military and political expenses of the imperial court amounted to 100,000 yuan a year, and most of this money came from the southeast; We have already occupied the Jiangnan region, and the imperial court will ruthlessly squeeze the Central Plains region. The people of the Central Plains can't bear it anymore and will definitely rise up to resist. The foreign enemy in the west and north knows about it, and will also take the opportunity to attack. The imperial court was under attack from inside and outside, and even if there were advisers like Yi Yin and Lu Shang, they couldn't come up with any way for them. As long as we take the Yangtze River as the boundary, defend the south of the Yangtze River, reduce labor, reduce taxes, and restore and develop the people's manpower and material resources, who in the four corners of the world will not respectfully come to worship us? Within ten years, the world will finally be unified. If you don't, you will have to die in vain at the hands of corrupt officials. Please plan this well! ”

The believers all shouted, "May I swear to the death to follow the sect master, overthrow this immoral court, and welcome the coming of light!" ”

The crowd was passionate, and they were all willing to follow Fang La's uprising. Under Fang La's planning, a great peasant uprising broke out in this way.
