Chapter 939: All-out Killing
Wei Benren died, in a mess, and his head was cut off and hung on the flagpole.
It's easy to shout the word rebellion, but it really pulls up the team, what to do next, Tong Shan has no score, he can only rely on the only little historical knowledge, and even the stories in the opera, to command his people.
He needs a lot of soldiers, this is not difficult, there are countless young people in Caokou, and there are so many thugs raised by landlords in the local area, green-skinned scoundrels, unemployed vagrants, recruited at will, and tens of thousands of people were gathered.
But with so many people, they want to eat, drink, weapons, and military salaries, Tong Shan used to think that he was still rich, but his little money was not enough at all.
And the rebellion is to get rich and become a king, how can he be willing to fill the hole with his own money?
There is nothing else, there is only one way left, and that is to rob!
In addition to looting the official warehouses in Huzhou, they robbed all the way, and the manors in various places, the warehouses along the canal, and many landlords and gentry were also attacked.
I'm afraid that these families couldn't have imagined that they had just revolted, and they hadn't done anything to the imperial court, but they were the first to be impacted...... There is no way to do this, after all, the common people have nothing at home, only the gentry and landlords have money and food!
Like all uprisings in history, once launched, it is necessary to win the support of the peasants, who are overwhelmingly numerous, and the best way to get the support of the peasants is to gather the land! It is to be exempted from harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and to be exempted from all kinds of labor......
Irony not?
The family released the Cao Gang, wanting them to cause trouble for Wang Ning'an, but who knew that this first fire actually burned to themselves, which perfectly interpreted lifting a stone to shoot themselves in the foot!
Tong Shan is not a willing to be at the mercy of others, he put the target of his attack in Suzhou, as long as he takes Suzhou, he will have countless wealth, and countless personnel, even if the court kills him, he is not afraid!
"Brothers, everyone listen to me, let's go into Suzhou and grab money...... Money and Food...... Snatch! ”
After a little silence, it immediately attracted thunderous cheers, and the chaotic team rushed towards Suzhou, they were talking and laughing, elated, and completely immersed in joy, as if they were going to the temple fair, not to kill their heads!
……
"Lord Wang, they rebelled, they rebelled!"
Chen Shunzhi was holding an 800-mile rush in his hand, and between his words, he was a little excited, yes, he was happy.
If there is no chaos and no cure, the forces in the southeast are intertwined, like a cancer, if you don't make a big fuss, you can't go under the knife, and now the time has finally come!
Wang Ningan also slapped his thigh, relieved.
In fact, he cleaned up the southeast, what he lacked was just an excuse, and now that there is a rebellion, he can implicate whoever he wants, and he will burn the fire to whomever he wants!
Finally, the time has come for drastic and radical reform!
"Follow the plan we agreed upon, and execute it immediately!"
"Understood!"
Chen Shunzhi immediately nodded and went down to arrange.
First of all, Wang Ningan announced to the outside world that the Cao Gang had committed rebellion and misery, and the crime was not punishable, and all Caokou personnel participated in the rebellion and were executed. If you can automatically break away from the relationship with the Cao Gang and register with the Yamen, you can be exempted from criminal responsibility. If you fight back, you can get rid of the high-level of the Cao Gang, and you can also get a heavy reward.
At the same time, Wang Ningan pushed out more than 3,000 Cao gang personnel arrested these days and sentenced them to death!
Then, he sent personnel to seize the trading houses controlled by the Cao Gang, and in addition, all the merchants and gentry who had dealings with the Cao Gang were facing investigation.
Wang Ningan also played a trick, he sealed the bank, Jiangnan Bank, Huilian Bank, and more than a dozen money bank ticket numbers, none of them ran!
This hand is too ruthless!
After Wang Ning'an founded the Royal Bank, all over the country rushed to follow suit, the southeast economy is prosperous, the financial resources are abundant, there are many wealthy businessmen, Jiangnan Bank and Huilian Bank are the two leaders, of which Jiangnan Bank is supported by the Qian family, and Huilian Bank is the monk of Lingyin Temple.
The bank involved countless merchants and families, and even ordinary people deposited money in it, and even the most frantic people did not dare to touch the bank.
When several major families were laying out, they had expected that Wang Ningan would start, and they also formulated a strategy for maneuvering, but they couldn't have imagined that Wang Ningan would directly seize the bank and directly ask the bank to hand over all the relevant accounts, and there was no room for negotiation at all, Wang Ningan, do you really think about the chaos in the world?
Qian Yi couldn't hold back any longer, he led more than a dozen officials and rushed directly to Qincha Xingyuan.
"We want to see King Xiliang, let's go in!"
They shouted and shouted, and at this time, Chen Shunzhi walked out of it, and when he saw them, he smiled, "It turned out to be your lords, the prince has been waiting for a long time, please come in!" ”
Qian Yi didn't expect to see Wang Ningan so smoothly, he was still a little hesitant, but he didn't allow him to think too much, so he could only follow everyone to the living room inside, and it was strange that Wang Ningan was not there.
"Everyone, wait, the prince will be here soon."
Chen Shunzhi turned around and left, and after waiting for less than a quarter of an hour, someone came, but it was not Wang Ning'an!
It's Zhangdu!
He took dozens of guards and surrounded them all!
Zhang Dian smiled hideously, and announced loudly, "What is the Cao Gang? Who is Tongshan? Entrenched in the southeast for decades, gathering tens of thousands of people, pulling flags to rebel, rebelling against the Great Song Dynasty, the sins are heavy, and heaven and earth are intolerable! As an official of the imperial court, you have failed the grace of the Holy Grace, neglected your duties, and now obstructed the imperial court from dealing with traitors, what is your intention? ”
Without waiting for Qian Yi and the others to answer, Zhang Dian continued: "Tianxin is merciful, I didn't want to set off a big prison and kill in vain, but you are ignorant and incompetent, hesitate to mislead the country, and have ill intentions, collude with bandits, commit many crimes, and are hard to write, immediately remove from official positions and hand them over to the Criminal Department for punishment!" ”
"What?"
Qian Yi shouted at the top of his voice, "I don't accept it, I am a feudal official of the imperial court, there is no holy decree, no evidence, why did Wang Ningan fabricate it out of thin air and frame the old man, and the old man wants to go to the court to explain his grievances!" ”
Zhang Dian shrugged, "Whatever, but you can't leave now!" ”
"Catch!"
At the sound of the order, the guards rushed up, arrested all these people, tied them into rice dumplings, and threw them into prisons to await investigation.
Now that things in the southeast have become a mess, Wang Ningan has no heart to deal with them for the time being.
"Brother Jiefu, Jiang Ning will be handed over to you first, I will lead troops to quell the rebellion!"
Wang Anshi nodded immediately, "Please rest assured, check the Cao Gang, and check the relevant officials, families, and the old man will never be soft, whoever gets involved in the rebellion is a dead end!" ”
Wang Anshi knew the whole situation, Wang Ningan just explained two sentences, mobilized 10,000 elites, left Jiangning, and went straight to Huzhou.
On the way, they happened to meet the men and horses sent by Tongshan to attack the Guangde army, almost 5,000 or so.
This is a conflict that is not even a battle, it is just a face-to-face, neat row of guns, killing the thieves in the front row, and the people behind are frightened and stupid, and they immediately scattered.
These people are nothing, but the weapons they left behind aroused Wang Ning'an's interest.
"Lord Wang, these are all standard weapons of the imperial court, do you see it, this saber is still made by the military factory in Hebei!"
Wang Ningan nodded, "Pass on my order to thoroughly investigate all the yamen, especially those who manage the armory, any abnormal movements, so that the ordnance falls into the hands of the bandits, all of them will be dealt with as thieves...... Kill! ”
Wang Ningan completely revealed his hideous side!
Although he still has some moral cleanliness and is unwilling to be a butcher, things force you to do it!
The power of the Southeast family is too huge, and they have no scruples, they can do anything, and if they don't completely cut off all the forces, the Great Song Dynasty will never have peace!
Wang Ningan began to kill from all sides...... The target of the bank inventory is the great family, the officialdom is rectified, and the target is also them, as well as the implementation of the division of land and the elimination of the Cao gang and thieves...... All in all, the battle between him and the family has started in full swing.
No more hesitation!
And just when Wang Ningan sent out his troops, there in Suzhou, Zhang Yun was sitting in the yamen, and his sideburns were unconscious, and he was in a cold sweat.
Just a quarter of an hour ago, he got the news that He Tianshou had died, had been chopped up with a knife, and there was not even a single intact corpse, and the rebels had rushed to Suzhou to kill.
Zhang Yun's side is only a thousand people, and there are many local box troops in Suzhou, but these people will not listen to his dispatch at all, on the contrary, these box troops will even help the rebels and turn around to kill him!
Zhang Yun knows how bad his reputation is, as long as he falls into the hands of the rebels, he will never end well!
Chopping into meat sauce is cheap, and the most terrible thing is that life is worse than death, being tortured alive! He is in charge of the prison, he has seen too much, if the rebels really come, maybe death is also a good choice, just like He Tianshou, he died, and after the court quelled the rebellion, he might be able to make a merit and posthumously give him an official position, in that case, death is worth it!
Didn't Zhang Yun think about running away?
Of course he thought about it, but where could he run, if he lost Suzhou, the court would not be able to spare him, and if he ran out, there were enemies everywhere, how could he get out safely?
Instead of drowning in a nest and dying in a daze, it is better to be like He Tianshou and be strong!
Anyway, Lao Tzu has lived enough during this time, there is nothing to fear!
Zhang Yun seemed to be drunk, revealing strong madness!
"My lord, the outside of the yamen is surrounded!" The guards reported to Zhang Yun.
Zhang Yun was stunned, "Coming so fast?" Not even a little fighting! Run, brethren, and I will go out and give them this head. ”
The guards couldn't cry or laugh, "Lord Zhang, you are mistaken, it is the people, there are almost 3,000 people in the surrounding villages and towns, and I don't know how many people will follow!" ”
"What?" Zhang Yun asked stupidly, "Why are they here?" ”
"The subordinates don't know, the adults go out to take a look, maybe it will be clear!"
Zhang Yun immediately rushed out of the yamen...... Sure enough, it's dark outside, and it's all ordinary people! Seeing Zhang Yun come out, they all knelt down.
"My lord, give the order quickly, fight with them!"
"That's right, whoever dares to touch our fields, we will kill him!"
"Protect Lord Zhang!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
