Chapter 37 Those who mutinied at Chenqiao

The news that Chai Rong was dead came from Yangzhou City, and all the people were shocked!

The country cannot be without a monarch for a day, and the seven-year-old emperor, Chai Zongxun succeeded to the throne.

Chai Zongxun is Emperor Gong of Zhou, the fourth son of Chai Rong of Later Zhou Shizong, and the last emperor of Later Zhou during the Five Dynasties period.

Originally from Yaoshan in Xingzhou (now Xingtai City), he was born on the fourth day of the eighth month of the third year of Guangshun (September 14, 953).

In the sixth year of Xiande (959), in June, he was awarded the general of the special left guard, the king of Liang, 3,000 households in the food district, and 500 households in practice.

Zhou Shizong died of illness in June of the same year, and he succeeded to the throne on the first day of the same month, following the name of Zhou Taizu "Xiande". When Chai Zongxun ascended the throne, he was only seven years old, and the Empress Dowager Fu listened to the government, and Fan Zhen and Wang Pu presided over military affairs.

After the death of Zhou Shizong, the arrangements of the senior generals of the forbidden army underwent great changes.

The front division of the palace has been vacant before, and after Chai Zongxun succeeded him, Murong Yanzhao, who was a young friend with Zhao Kuangyin, was transferred to the front of the palace for inspection.

Next, all the people who have a good relationship with Zhao Kuangyin have taken important positions.

Zhao Kuangyin's gradual grasp of power laid the foundation for further mutiny.

At this moment, Mei Xiaohan is still trapped in Yangzhou City, and there is nothing she can do.

The foundation of the Great Song Dynasty for hundreds of years is actually warlords, who were born and grew up in troubled times.

The world as you see it, war! War! War!

Of course, participating in a mutiny is not something that can be done by one person. According to the current parlance, it is impossible to accomplish without organization and discipline.

The leaders of this mutiny, the first to be recommended were the two brothers Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi, and of course others.

Maybe there is another person to add now, this person is the modern teenager Mei Xiaohan.

In front of the palace, Zhao Kuangyin and the senior generals of the forbidden army, Shi Shouxin, Wang Xianqi and other righteous brothers grasped the military power.

Now when we open the history books, most of the records we see are like this:

After Zhou Gong Emperor Chai Zongxun appeared to be seven years (AD 960) on New Year's Day, the Khitan came to attack, and the court ordered the commander of the forbidden army and the palace to check Zhao Kuangyin to lead the troops to meet the enemy.

On the third day of the first month, the army went out of Kaifeng, and before dark, the garrison was in Chenqiaoyi, 40 miles northeast of Kaifeng City, and the army mutinied that night, and forcibly draped Zhao Kuangyin in a yellow robe, not allowing him to resist. The next day, the whole army returned to the city, and Song Xing died on the same day. The Song Dynasty, which was founded more than 300 years ago, began.

However, this is not the case, and the period from Chai Rong's death to Zhao Kuangyin's Chen Qiao Mutiny took about half a year.

At this time, Zhao Kuangyin's identity was the commander of the forbidden army, and it stands to reason that he should stay in Kaifeng City.

In fact, this is not the case, after Chai Rong's death, Zhao Kuangyin left Kaifeng. went to Guide until the imperial court ordered him to fight against the invading Khitan.

Zhao Kuangyin is not in Kaifeng, but in Guide!

A man with military power in his hands, so far away from the political center, no one knows what he wants to do.

Jie Du envoy, the early Tang Dynasty along the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the old system of the Sui Dynasty, important areas were placed in charge of the army, and the name was changed to the governor, but Shuo Fang was still called the governor, and the border states were not placed by the envoys, and there were Tuntian Prefectures to set up camp field envoys.

The Tang Dynasty began to establish local military and political chiefs. Because when he was appointed, the imperial court gave him a festival, and the festival was a kind of full-power seal at that time, and those who received this full-power seal could be fully dispatched, so it was called the festival envoy.

When Mei Xiaohan came out of Yangzhou City, he had been besieged for a month, and it was less than a month before the Chenqiao Mutiny.

Songzhou, the place where Zhao Kuangyin started.

In Songzhou, the person Mei Xiaohan saw was not Zhao Kuangyin'er, but Zhao Kuangyi.

When Zhao Kuangyin saw Mei Xiaohan again, since he couldn't help crying, the emperor died, and this person who was kind to him left him forever.

What Mei Xiaohan couldn't understand was that Zhao Kuangyin did not stay in Kaifeng but was leisurely in Songzhou.

"The first emperor died... The Northern Expedition had to be stopped. ”

After Zhao Kuangyi saw Mei Gonghan, he had a good impression of him, and he took his hand and wanted to talk with him, talking about the past and the present.

Zhao Kuangyi said: "What are Mei Gongzi's plans for the future?" ”

"Could it be... You brought this force from Yangzhou? ”

Well-equipped and full of spirit, he ran all the way like a mighty army, and no one could stop him.

"Not bad! I was besieged in Yangzhou City, and I couldn't get out, so I pulled up a team by myself! ”

"Hahaha!"

Zhao Kuangyi said: "I didn't expect a businessman to have such ideas!" ”

"It's just a matter of surviving in troubled times... I also had to do it as a last resort! ”

"You saved my eldest brother's life, and naturally you are also my life-saving benefactor, so it's better to stay in Songzhou!"

Mei Xiaohan said: "Where is General Zhao?" ”

As soon as he asked this, Zhao Kuangyi's face fell, and he seemed to have a lot of dissatisfaction with Zhao Kuangyin.

Zhao Kuangyi said: "You are not an outsider, it doesn't hurt to talk to you!" ”

"My eldest brother doesn't listen to persuasion at all!"

"That seven-year-old emperor, where can I sit in that position!"

"Hey! I won't tell you more! ”

Zhao Kuangyin saw that Mei Xiaohan was coming, and his unhappy mood improved, and said, "Mei Gongzi... You're here! ”

"I thought you had forgotten about this old friend!"

Mei Xiaohan arched her hand and said, "Meet General Zhao!" ”

Zhao Kuangyin said: "When you come to Songzhou, you don't have to be so polite with me!" What's more, what is the relationship between you and me! ”

"Hey, hey!"

"Did you bring the bullets from that gun?"

Zhao Kuangyin still remembered the bullet, and when he saw Mei Xiaohan, he took his hand and refused to let go.

Zhao Kuangyin ignored Zhao Kuangyi, took him to the racecourse, and said, "Mei Gongzi... I've been looking forward to you for a long time! ”

Each pillar of the racecourse is tied to a haystack with a red circle painted in the middle.

"Today... You can't let me down! ”

Mei Xiaohan ordered his subordinates to open the box of bullets he had prepared, pointed at the bullets and said, "This is five hundred bullets!" ”

"500 rounds is 500 weapons, and it's still a very lethal weapon."

"It's more, it's really nothing!"

Mei Xiaohan crossed over, these weapons were originally brought unintentionally, and these bullets were originally only used for recruit training, and the number was strictly controlled.

"Don't hide it from General Zhao, the price of this weapon is extremely high!"

"A bullet costs two pieces of silver!"

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Originally, I wanted to ask about the production method, and I heard Mei Gongzi say this, but I was a little timid!" ”

Zhao Kuangyin was born poor and understands the sufferings of the people.

"Hey!"

"The treasury is empty, even if I have the heart to build it, I can't do anything!"

Mei Xiaohan demonstrated how to reload and unload, and demonstrated the shooting action.

The gun in Zhao Kuangyin's raised hand...

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Gunshot... Echoed over the private horse farm of Zhao Kuangyin, a German army in Songzhou.

"Hahaha!"

"It's really a magical weapon in the world!"
