Chapter 56: Very tricky

Rebellions have been major events since ancient times, no matter how big or small. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Since Liu Bang became Han Gaozu from a gangster pavilion chief, the little people have taken advantage of the chaos, and there are countless examples of heroes created by the times.

For the imperial court, the slightest flame of rebellion could spread, and eventually the prairie fire could be out of control.

Especially in the late Tang Dynasty, the division of feudal towns, the Huangchao uprising, and the rebellion of Zhu Wen against the Tang Dynasty, these bloody lessons are not far away, so the Great Song Dynasty attaches great importance to the rebellion.

Some time ago, Yizhou Huyi and Wang Lun rebelled, Jingdong Road was almost eroded, and the imperial court hurriedly mobilized a large army, and it was not easy to put down the rebellion.

It took a lot of effort to go back and forth.

Unexpectedly, the situation on Jingdong Road had just improved, and the Guanghua Army rebelled and caused such a big mess, and the situation was far worse than the situation in Yizhou, Jingdong Road.

If the rebellion is only the homeless, or the local powerful bandits, it is not terrible, the imperial court only needs to send troops and horses to clear it.

But if it is the officers and soldiers who rebel, then the situation is relatively complicated, after all, the officers and soldiers are professionally trained in military affairs and are armed with weapons and ordnance.

The combat effectiveness is stronger, and it is not easy to destroy the rebellion immediately, and the destructive power is also greater. Therefore, all dynasties have attached great importance to the mutiny of soldiers and the rebellion of military generals.

This is especially true of the Great Song Dynasty, a dynasty that emphasized literature over military force, and was strong and weak.

But unexpectedly, more than 500 Xuanyi soldiers of the Guanghua Army near Xiangyang on Jingxi Road rebelled under the leadership of their captain Shao Chong.

Since the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, the movement of troops of more than 50 people must be strictly approved, otherwise it will be regarded as a rebellion, because the harm of army rebellion is very great.

The figure of fifty people naturally has its reason, and to some extent it can be regarded as a warning line.

Now, there are 500 soldiers in the Guanghua Army who have rebelled collectively, and the severity can be imagined.

To make matters worse, the rebel area was very sensitive, and the Xiangyang generation was regarded as the core area of the Great Song Dynasty, connecting the Central Plains and Sichuan and Shaanxi from east to west, communicating the two lakes from north to south, and holding the upper reaches of the Han River, which was not far from Tokyo.

If the scale of **** is too large, it will spread to all directions and threaten the center of Gyeonggi. Unfortunately, this year's Great Song Dynasty suffered a drought, as was the case in Bianliang, Tokyo, and the entire Hanshui Basin.

From the upper reaches of the Han River to the northwest of the Xiangyang Army, there have long been displaced people in Shangzhou and Jinzhou who have gathered in the mountains to make a fuss, if the two are combined into one, what will be the consequences?

It was in this way that after learning of this news, Jingxi Road immediately reported it to the Privy Council in Tokyo.

The Privy Council did not dare to delay, and passed the news into the palace as soon as possible, so that Wang Shouzhong, who had always been steady, was a little uneasy. Hurriedly went to Yunjin Pavilion to report, not wanting to meet Zhao Zhen halfway.

The rebellion is a hundred thousand urgent military affairs, and no emperor dares to take it lightly, after Zhao Zhen heard this, he frowned and ordered: "Go back to the Hanging Arch Palace!" ”

……

The emperor took a turn in the backyard and went back to attend to official business.

This kind of news, the Empress Cao naturally heard about it, and the emperor did not stay overnight at Zhang Meiren's place, which made her feel a little more comfortable.

If you are pregnant and can't sleep and keep the emperor, that is to be pampered and arrogant, this kind of woman who is favored by the exclusive room...... Hum.

It's a pity that the emperor left Yunjin Pavilion not to come here, but to see Concubine Miao Xian, Empress Cao just sighed in her heart after hearing this, and was very envious of those concubines who could give birth.

However, it is a pity that Concubine Miao Xian also seems to be empty of joy. But no matter what, there is a princess Fukang under the Miao family's knees, which is the only eldest daughter of Emperor Zhao Zhen.

With such a pearl in her hand, Concubine Miao Xian is already worry-free in this life, but she is ......

If you continue like this, I am afraid that there is no hope of having children, so if you want to stabilize your position, you can only rely on other things.

Why did the emperor hurry back to the vertical arch hall, Empress Cao knew at the first time, the meaning of the harem can't interfere in politics is relatively limited, and sometimes it's just an ornament.

After all, Empress Dowager Zhang Xian Liu E made a not-so-good start, even if Empress Cao couldn't interfere in court politics, it was always okay to inquire about some news.

The Gwanghwa Army has rebelled!

As the queen of the world, she should empathize with the emperor's anxieties and worries, and find a way to share the worries of the monarch and pray for the blessing of the country.

But as the daughter of Jiangmen, Empress Cao suddenly smiled, and rebellion at this time may be a good thing for her personally.

The world has been peaceful for a long time, and the role of the door has gradually faded, and in the long run, it will gradually be neglected, and even slowly lose its power. But when there is a war, the situation is different.

Now that there are rebellions in various places, it is the time to employ people, and it is a great opportunity for Jiangmen.

In fact, there have always been opportunities, but in the face of the fierce Khitans and party members, most of the Jiangmen disciples are timid and unwilling to take risks.

However, a few rebellious soldiers and displaced people in the Great Song Dynasty should be able to calm down, and the suppression of the rebellion is a meritorious service. With such a low-hanging fruit, how could the Cao family miss it?

As long as the Cao family tree has deep roots and outstanding achievements, even if he has no son, this position will be as stable as Mount Tai.

Coincidentally, it seems that there is a cousin in my family who happens to be a general on Jingxi Road, and if he doesn't fight at this time, when will he stay?

……

In the early morning of the next day, there was no pilgrimage meeting.

The minister was summoned to the vertical arch hall at the first time, and the privy envoy Du Yan was the most anxious, and there was already a layer of sweat on his forehead.

"Your Majesty, there was an urgent report on Jingxi Road last night, and the rebels first showed signs of moving in the northeast direction." Du Yan's words cast a shadow on the faces of the monarchs and ministers present.

To the northeast of Yangyang is the hinterland of the Central Plains, so did the rebels want to attack Gyeonggi directly? The city of Tokyo is heavily garrisoned, and the rebels are only a few hundred people, which may seem like a joke at all glances, but it is definitely not a good trend.

Du Yan continued: "The rebels have been absorbed, or coerced, and now the number has exceeded 3,000, and it is still increasing. Although the rebels intended to advance eastward, Wang Juzheng, a senior scholar (university scholar), now knew about Xuzhou and was already highly vigilant, and the rebels would not be able to pass Xuzhou no matter what. ”

"Well, that's very good!" Yan Xianggong immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Emperor Zhao Zhen was still expressionless, he was no longer so gloomy, after all, the stability of the capital city of Tokyo was the most important.

Governor Fan Zhongyan asked, "Du Shuxiang, where is the rebel army now diverted?" ”

Du Yan said: "At present, it is still active on the bank of the Han River, and the Privy Council is already arranging for the mobilization of troops and horses to encircle and suppress ......."

"Does the rebel army have a tendency to go west along the Han River?" Fan Zhongyan continued to ask, and the question was even more to the point.

"Yes!" Du Yan wiped the sweat on his forehead and said in a low voice: "This is the most tricky thing at the moment, Shangzhou Guo Miaoshan has occupied the mountain for some time, and the official army has not been able to encircle and suppress it for a long time, if he goes south to join forces with Shao Chong, I am afraid it will be very tricky!" ”
