Chapter 86: Jiangnan Rebellion

At this moment, Zhao Hao's mood cannot be expressed in a thousand words, and can only be described in two words: confused.

He never imagined that his nonsense to his mother would become a prophecy, and it was so magical, he made it up last night, and it will come true today.

What made him depressed was that the historical Fang La uprising was two years later, and now it is actually two years ahead of schedule, and the change of the wheel of history must be his own birth, which intersected with Fang La, thus changing history.

On that day, after Fang La wanted to coerce himself into joining the gang and was refused, he was worried that the time would drag on for a long time, and the night would be long and dreamy, and the east window incident would happen, so he made trouble in advance.

And the most headache is that now he has fallen into a dilemma, Hangzhou City can't go back, there is Fang La's Mingjiao rebel army in front, there are wolves in front and tigers in front of him, and he is at a loss.

However, even if there is no Wu Song, Hangzhou City is looking for death when he goes back, and the historical Fang La army broke through Hangzhou, killing Chen Jian, the envoy of the Liangzhejiang Road, Zhao Yue, and Zhao Ting, the governor of Zhou, fled. The masses, who had been resentful for a long time, captured officials in Hangzhou, excavated the graves of Cai Jing's father's ancestors, and exposed their bones. As the son of the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that it will be difficult to avoid disaster.

In desperation, Zhao Hao gritted his teeth and made up his mind to continue to go north.

Judging from the time, when he and his mother went south from Jiangning, they had not heard the news of the rebellion, and the time of the Fangla uprising should not exceed 20 days.

As for the traitors everywhere that the official said, it should not be Fang La's main army, but some scattered soldiers who have not been stopped, his party is all cavalry, and there are fierce generals like Wu Song and Zhao Ling to press the formation, and it is no problem to break through.

And Xie Yun on the side was even more surprised, originally thought that his son was just talking nonsense, but who knew that it had just come true not long after leaving the city, so he was obedient to his son's decision-making.

**************

In the 11th lunar month of 1118 AD, Fang La failed to coerce Zhao Hao into the gang and was arrested by the officials and soldiers for fear that the plan would be leaked, so he launched an uprising in advance, two years earlier than in history.

"Today's service is heavy, the officials invade the fishery, and the agricultural mulberry is not enough to supply. The husband is born with the people, the shepherd of the tree, and the original is to support the people; It is tyrannical! The heart of heaven and man, can you be free from sorrow? And in addition to the voice, dogs and horses, civil engineering, prayer shrines, armor soldiers, flowers and stones, the silver silk bribes in the northwest are millions, and they are all bare-blooded in the southeast. The second captivity has been lightened by China, and it has been harassed year after year. The court did not dare to abolish it, and the prime minister thought that Anbian was also a long-term strategy. The people of Duwu are diligent all year round, and their wives are frozen, and they can't get enough food for a day......"

Fang La pretended to be the "Heavenly Fu", with the Mingjiao cultists as the main body, and the Gangyuantong as the base, gathered the poor peasants, and called for an uprising in the name of "Zhu Mian and Qing Yao Fu".

Fang La claimed to be the Holy Father, Jianyuan Yongle, the eldest son Fang Shu was the eldest prince, the second son Fang Hao was the second prince, his wife Qiu was the queen, Fang Fei was appointed as the prime minister, Fang Qifo was appointed as the general of soldiers and horses, Wang Gong Lao Buddha was the military advisor, and the rest of Fang Baihua, Fang Wuxianggong, Chen Hoop Bucket, Zheng Mowang and others were all generals, and even Aoki Daochang was also mixed with a protector general.

The rest of the people, each of whom was divided into six classes, were distinguished by six-colored turbans, with ordinary soldiers wearing red turbans, while purple turbans were the highest, followed by cyan, and then blue, green, yellow, and red......

The ambitious Fang La, vowing to "set the south of the Yangtze River within half a year", "but to divide the river and guard, lightly punish the thin endowment", "ten years will eventually be mixed", his goal is very firm, that is, to replace Zhao and Song.

Although the goal is lofty and the slogan is extremely righteous and awe-inspiring, the process is very disgraceful.

Most of the people were still content with peace and refused to rebel, and the rebels instigated each other with the hidden and unpredictable things of ghosts and gods, and tricked the people into joining the gang, although there was a certain effect, but the effect was not great.

The real way to win over the people to revolt is to coerce. Suddenly the rebels lost their fear of the king's law, and many of them became thugs, who went about rioting, burning, killing, looting, and forcing the people to join the gang. However, if there are those who do not comply, the family will be ruined, and the gang can divide the land, money, and women, and under this kind of coercion and temptation, many people who are unwilling to revolt are also forced to join the gang.

The thugs of the so-called rebel army led the crowd to rush into the homes of those landlords and rich gentry, wantonly slaughtered and vented their anger, robbed gold and money, and set fire to the houses.

At this time, the rebel army was not so much to vent its dissatisfaction with the oppression of the government, but to show the ugly side of human nature nakedly.

In less than ten days, Fang La gathered forty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses, and grabbed countless money and food, and then as in history, he set up an ambush in Xikeng, breaking five thousand Song troops, among which Fang Qifo rushed into battle with a single sword, broke through the heavy guards of the Song army, and killed the Song generals Cai Zun and Yan Tan, and won a complete victory.

In the entire land south of the Yangtze River, the smoke was everywhere, and the rebel armies in various places moved when they heard the wind, sweeping half of the Great Song Dynasty.

……

Zhao Hao and his entourage, urging the carriages and horses, went north, as Zhao Hao expected, although the thieves along the way continued, many villages were shouting and crying, but they rarely encountered a large number of soldiers and horses, all of them were less than 100 people, looting money and food stragglers.

The pomp and circumstance of their entourage is obviously the leader of the big family's travel, and the money they bring will naturally not be less, attracting the attention of many thieves along the way. It's just twenty or thirty big men on horseback and sabre, and not everyone dares to move. Those scattered and chaotic troops, even if they were hundreds of soldiers and horses, had no armor, bows and arrows, and most of the weapons they held in their hands were wooden sticks, hoes, firewood knives and other weapons, and they were all foot soldiers.

Occasionally, when he encountered some people who were not afraid of death, Wu Song took a knife and rode away alone, and one person rode into a group of peasant troops wearing cloth clothes and straw shoes, holding firewood knives, and not even a formation, and he was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and killed the leader of the rebel army with one or two knives, and was instantly dispersed.

In this way, everyone walked cautiously along the official road all the way, and after seven or eight days, they finally arrived at the boundary of Anxi Town in the north of Hangzhou.

Looking at the houses of Na'anxi Town from afar, everyone cheered, and they were about to gallop over and enter the town to rest.

"Slow!" Wu Song suddenly shouted.

A dark shadow emerged in the distance, rushing towards it.

The shadows grew clearer, and gradually it was clear that there were five or six riders riding in front of the tight chase.

The black shadow was getting closer and closer, and with good eyesight, it could be seen that the person in the front was dressed in red, which should be a woman, and the pursuers in the back were dressed in different clothes, but they were all wrapped in headscarves of various colors.

"It's the rebels!" Someone exclaimed.

"Kill!" Wu Song waved his long knife, lifted the reins, and rushed over fiercely.

The opposite side chased and fled, and in a blink of an eye, they were two hundred meters away from Zhao Hao and the others, and the pursuers saw Wu Song driving the horse, and the horse's speed slowed down slightly.

The man in the lead, wearing a green turban, seemed to have a high status in the rebels, and saw that the person who came was extremely tall and strong, and his heart was slightly worried, but he forced himself to shout loudly: "Who is coming, who dares to go against the Holy Father's Heavenly Soldiers?" ”

Wu Song snorted coldly, rode forward, raised the ring knife in his hand high, swept a cold light in the air, and slashed towards the green turban viciously.

The cuckold...... The leader of the green turban thief couldn't help but be furious, and turned around and shouted: "Siege and kill!" ”

The rest of the five cavalry rebels, all wrapped in yellow turbans, obviously did not have a low status among the rebels, and seeing that Wu Song was so rude, they all pulled out their waist knives and besieged Wu Song.

Zhao Ling was afraid that Wu Song would suffer a loss, so he also greeted him.

There is no suspense in the ending, Wu Song killed four people alone, and Zhao Ling killed two people, but with half a burnt incense, the six cavalry rebels were killed, and the green hat was even beheaded by Wu Song.

The frightened girl in red was brought to Zhao Hao, fell to her knees with a pop, and fainted after only saying half a sentence "Begging Engong to save my whole family......".
