To be honest, Li Buqi, a technician who spends his days in laboratories and factories, really doesn't know much about the history of the Great Song Dynasty except for major events, so he really wants to see what the ancient peasant wars were like. The last time Guo Miaoshan and Zhang Hai rebelled, he was busy earning his own life, and there were few sources, so he didn't really know about it. This time, his position was stable, and he also had a certain intelligence network, which could collect information from all aspects in detail, so Li Buqi was ready to move a bench and take a piece of melon to sit and watch the Maitreya performance, so as to really weigh the Maitreya religion and then finally decide how to solve the Maitreya problem.

As a result, the people of Maitreya really refreshed Li Buqi's cognition. Before the uprising was launched, there was a person with a sharp blade who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to meet Jia Chaochang in Bei~Beijing (Daimyo's Mansion) to force Jia Chaochang to surrender to Maitreya. Do you think your actions are unknown and not sensational enough to have a press conference?

Besides, what are you doing in rebellion, looking for such bureaucrats who are not successful enough to do more than they can lose? Li Buqi was completely speechless about the level of Maitreya.

How could a high-ranking official like Jia Chaochang, who had been a prime minister, easily give up high-ranking officials and play with you brainless people? As a result, there was no suspense, and this disciple named Pan Fangjing was caught.

Then Beizhou got the news, and under the leadership of the officer Wang Ze, it launched on the winter solstice in advance, arrested the first official of Zhizhou Zhang De, and the rebel army held the city. The actions of the rebels below made Li Buqi cry and laugh again. Instead of attacking other towns to gather food and grass, or moving from this heavily armed place to find a place to build a foundation, they stayed in the city and were busy setting up a small court.

Wang proclaimed himself the king of Dongping County, with Zhang Luan as the prime minister and Bu Ji as the privy envoy, with the country name "Anyang" and the year name "Victory". This is exactly the opposite of what Zhu Wen said, "build high walls, accumulate grain, and slowly become king", which is a slow death. Then Jia Chaochang learned the news of the uprising in Beizhou, and hurriedly sent Hao Zhi to suppress it, and now Wang Ze couldn't leave these people if they wanted to.

From this time on, Li Buqi was completely relieved of the Maitreya Sect - this was purely a group of reckless heroes, and if they wanted to threaten the Great Song Dynasty, they would be a group of people who would make trouble. For such a group of people, they can be used as stepping stones, and they are not distressed.

So in December, when Zhao Zhen sent to quell the rebellion, Ban Mai Yunyan, Xijing Workshop made Wang Kai and Gaoyang Guan deploy Wang Xin to defeat repeatedly, Zhao Zhen asked again at the court meeting: "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you have to discuss?" ”

Li Buqi looked left and right, it was strange that no one proposed to let him take the Zhenwu army to quell the rebellion this time. It is estimated that the psychological shadow of the civil officials is too great, and no one wants to provoke him anymore. However, this time he had to take the initiative to ask for troops, not for anything else, to let his subordinates see that war is good for their growth. And don't you see that most of the people who ended the old dynasty started by suppressing the rebels? In order to be able to rise one more liter, Li Buqi also had to grab this errand.

As soon as he raised his feet, he saw that Zhang Yaozuo had already left his shift and bowed down and played: "Your Majesty, the minister will raise one person, and I think he can put down the thief." ”

Zhao Zhen hurriedly asked: "Zhang Qing, come quickly." ”

Zhang Yaozuo said: "The minister Bao raised the power and sent Li Buqi, the military weapons supervisor, to lead the Zhenwu army to quell the rebellion. ”

When this sentence was spoken, all eyes looked at Li Buqi. Li Buqi hurriedly walked out of the shift and said, "The minister is willing to share worries for Your Majesty and the court." ”

Zhao Zhen was overjoyed: "It's so good." If you don't give up a prestige that can catch thieves, you will definitely succeed if you want to come. I wonder how many soldiers you need? ”

Li Buqi said: "The minister saw that the newspaper said that the anti-thieves in Beizhou had more than 10,000 troops, and there were many large armies stationed in the surrounding cities of Beizhou, and there were nearly 30,000 troops under the city. ”

Zhao Zhen immediately said: "Okay, then that's it, I will order you to be ......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a deep voice say, "Slow! Your Majesty, Li Buqi has never had the experience of commanding a large army alone, and he is in charge of counterinsurgency affairs, first, he is afraid that it will be difficult to convince the people, and second, he is afraid that he will underestimate the enemy and make rash mistakes. The minister thought that he should choose an old and serious minister to deal with this matter, and Li Buqi could help from the side. ”

There are indeed not many hairless people like Li Buqi in the court, so it is normal for people to distrust them. Therefore, Li Buqi didn't speak, but saw clearly that it was Prime Minister Chen Zhizhong who spoke, waiting for his next step.

Zhao Zhen thought about it and said, "Chen Qing is also reasonable, but who can do this?" ”

Chen Zhizhong said: "The minister sponsored the Privy Councillor and the Ming Ho of the Kaifeng Mansion to pacify Hebei for the volume. ”

Zhao Zhen then asked, "Master Ming, what do you think?" ”

Ming Ho immediately went out of class and bowed down and said: "It is the duty of the minister to share the worries of His Majesty and the court, how dare you refuse." ”

Zhao Zhen asked again: "Master Ming, how many more soldiers do you need?" ”

"Bing Shuyun, 'ten will surround it, and five will attack it', so Li Buqi said that more than 20,000 people could capture Beizhou, and the minister thought it was a frivolous statement. The ministers asked another 30,000 troops from the surrounding military states to besiege it. ”

At this time, the privy deputy Gao Ronne said: "The minister thinks that what the scholar said is a perfect strategy. When Master Ming served as a transit envoy in Shaanxi, he was known for repairing walled forts and training the army strictly, and he was the most knowledgeable soldier. The minister thought that it was still a credible plan of the Ming Bachelor. The deployment of Wang Xin in Gaoyang Pass is also a battle-hardened battle, and he is the commander of the army and horses, and he will be able to win the banner under the command of the Ming Bachelor. ”

Zhao Zhen looked at the other governors and saw that except for the privy envoy Xia Wei who did not speak, the others were seconded, so he clapped his hand and said: "Since this is the case, I will appease Hebei with the size of a Ming scholar, and Li Buqi will lead the Zhenwu army to assist." Wang Xin was the chief of soldiers and horses, and was controlled by the Ming scholars. ”

Myeongho said, "The minister's decree." ”

Li Buqi didn't say anything. Zhao Zhen couldn't help but look at him, Li didn't give up the lesser of two evils, so he had to say: "If you say that you don't dare to help Ming's ministers, the ministers are young, just learn from Ming's bachelors." It's just that the minister has a request. ”

Zhao Zhen said: "If you have any requests, you just have to say it." ”

Li Buqi said: "The Zhenwu army has never gone through a major battle, let alone seen a siege. The ministers were afraid that they would rush into the siege war, and there would be nothing left after the battle. ”

Gao Ronne said: "This is wrong. Raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while, how can you not go to war because you are afraid of the dead? What's the use of revitalizing the army in that way? ”

Li Buqi was really afraid that Ming Hao would trap the Zhenwu army, so he said without concessions: "It's not that I'm afraid that the Zhenwu army will be wiped out, but I'm afraid that it will be worthless." His Majesty has poured a lot of effort into the Zhenwu Army, and if he wants to train a strong army, if it is consumed in vain, His Majesty's hard work will be wasted. Therefore, the minister's request for the use of Zhenwu army must be approved by the minister. ”

This is questioning Myeongho's command skills. Ming Ho sneered: "The Zhenwu army is only a thousand people, and it is dispensable. Even if you don't need to Zhenwu Army, the minister can also take Beizhou City. Please give an order from Your Majesty, and the Zhenwu Army will not have to go. ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, the emperor hurriedly and diluted it, but he still favored the Zhenwu Army he formed: "Okay, okay, it's all for the sake of the country, don't be rash." I remember that I once said that the strong army is not trained, but fought, but there are few Zhenwu soldiers, and it is not very useful to fill in, since this is the case, let the Zhenwu army see what is going on in the battle array. ”

At this time, Xia Wei also followed the emperor's meaning and said: "The minister thinks that the military situation in Beizhou is like fire, so Master Ming should not argue about these trivial matters, it is important to put down the rebellion as soon as possible." ”

Xia Wei and Ming Ho have not dealt with each other, at this time it is obvious that Ming Ho is a stumbling block, but the words are impeccable and follow the emperor's thoughts, Ming Ho has to say: "Yes." Then he said to the emperor: "Please go to Hebei early tomorrow morning, and strive to bring those little people to justice as soon as possible." ”

The emperor immediately dismounted from the donkey down the slope and asked people to make a decree to set the appointment of Ming Ho and Li Buqi. After the dispersal of the dynasty, Ming Ho was busy going back to arrange for his trip to Hebei. Li Buqi also immediately returned to the prison to arrange his work, and then went home to prepare his bags. When I got home, I saw Zhao Min turning the group commanded by Xing'er, Zhang Yingniang and others, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Ladies, stop." For a husband is to go to war, not to enjoy happiness, just bring a few changes of clothes. ”

Zhao Min insisted on bringing a few more clothes to Li Buqi, so Li Buqi had to call Zhang Yingniang to the study first. Zhang Yingniang asked: "Do you have to go to Beizhou?" Those people are also poor people who have no way to live and are oppressed by corrupt officials and corrupt officials. ”

Li Buqi sighed: "Their final outcome is already doomed, that is, if I don't kill them, others will kill them." In this case, it is better to let them give some credit to their husbands, so that it is more convenient to do things for their husbands. It's not for yourself that the husband is here, so this Beizhou must be defeated, and it's best to beat the husband. ”

Seeing that Zhang Yingniang no longer said anything, Li Buqi arranged for her to receive good information at home to protect the safety of her family. Early the next morning, he took Tao Lin and other people who pretended to be utility people to follow Ming Ho and gallop to Beizhou. The Zhenwu army also received the order to march and arrived as fast as they could.
