Chapter 818: Interrogation (I)

He didn't close his eyes for nearly two days and two nights, and the news of capturing the bandit leader Fang La made Lotte sleepless.

In the military tent, an old man with half-white and half-black hair was chained to the ground, and Lotte sat in front of the desk and carefully examined the old man, his eyes full of interest. In front of Lotte is the disturbing southeast is not peaceful, which makes Huizong Zhao Ji uneasy to sleep and eat, and the famous Fang La, who claims to be the Holy Father.

Hearing that Fang La was caught, Wang Yu, Yang Weizhong, Liu Zhi and others also came to watch, but they didn't say a word about Xin Xingzong's previous robbery; Xin Xingzong is Liu Yanqing's subordinate, Liu Yanqing is the closest general to Tong Guan in the Western Army, and Lotte is the favored son-in-law of the Son of Heaven, and he is also a confidant of King Yun.

This is not the first time Lotte has seen Fang La, the first time he saw Fang La was a month and a half ago outside the Yuhang Gate in Hangzhou, but the distance was a stone's throw away, and neither of them could see each other's faces clearly.

Although his expression is slightly embarrassed, this Fang La has a bit of a fairy wind and bone posture, and it looks like a master. But in Lotte's eyes, this Fang La is just a god pretending to be a ghost, not that Lotte has any prejudice against Fang La, just because most of the Taoist priests in Biandu who were named Golden Feather Men by Zhao Ji are in this posture.

Fang La started by relying on Manichaeism, and if he didn't learn some skills to pretend to be gods and ghosts, he really couldn't develop his sect, so he didn't pretend to be a high-ranking person, which was really unconvincing.

Note: There are two records of Fang La's chronology, one is that he was born in 1048, and the eighth year of the Qingli of Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty Shenzong are the same era figures; Another theory is that he was born in 1078, the first year of the Northern Song Dynasty Renzong Yuanfeng year.

Many people prefer the first statement, for two reasons: first, Fang La is the twenty-fifth generation leader of Manichaeism, if he was born in the first year of Yuanfeng, the third year of Zhezong Shaosheng, that is, in 1096, Fang La, who is only eighteen years old, is definitely not qualified to become the head of Manichaeism, (PS: Fang La does not have the ability of Li Zhang Wuji); Second, Fang La's occupation of Hangzhou was neither the emperor nor the king, but called himself the "Holy Prince", from which it can be seen that Fang La's age is really not small, and his age will never be only in his forties, obviously born in the Renzong period is more reliable.

After looking at it for a long time, Lotte spoke: "Who is under the hood?" ”

Fang La, who was on the ground, did not reply.

Seeing that Fang La was silent, Tu Si snorted beside him: "My marquis asked who your surname is?" Where are the people? ”

Fang La was still silent, and closed his eyes slightly.

Seeing this, Tu Si was about to scold, Lotte waved his hand, looked at Fang La, and said: "Within half a year, gather millions of people, capture 52 counties in six states, call yourself 'Holy Prince', and set up the year name 'Yongle', this Fang La can be regarded as a generation of heroes, don't insult him." ”

Listening to Lotte's words, Fang La suddenly opened his eyes, a touch of arrogance appeared on his face, and said proudly: "Since you know Fang's name, then let your highest-ranking person here call out to talk to Fang, don't just send an offspring to humiliate Fang!" ”

Hearing this, all the generals in the tent laughed dumbly.

Yang Weizhong is familiar with Lotte, and said with a smile: "Fang La, you are not unjustly defeated, Marquis Le once led us to capture Xingqing Mansion and capture the Emperor of Western Xia, is Marquis Le who you learned not qualified to interrogate you?" ”

Yang Weizhong's voice fell, and the generals immediately laughed.

Lotte looked directly at Fang La, and said indifferently: "Fang La, also known as Fang Thirteen, Shezhou people's family, later moved to Muzhou Qingxi Wannian Township, Yu Shaosheng three years to meet the Manichaean master, the family has a lacquer garden, but repeatedly pretended to be a helper to work in the paint garden everywhere, and secretly spread Manichaeism, and with Manichaeism as a link, the believers gathered together to plot things, Le is right?" ”

"Lord Le Hou destroys the summer, it is really respected by my generation!" The person in front of him was Lotte, and Fang La's eyes showed a look of astonishment.

His eyes stayed in Lotte's eyes for a moment, and Fang La said proudly: "But if Fang believes Chen Hoop's words, after setting the capital in Hangzhou, he doesn't just want to concentrate on the south, but after capturing Huizhou and Muzhou, he will implement a pro-people move, win people's hearts, establish military prestige, and then take the capital directly." If you can't establish a unified empire, you can also set up territories. If this is the case, I am afraid that Lord Le Hou may not be able to win so easily! ”

Yang Weizhong, Liu Zhi, and Wang Yu are all people who know the way of using soldiers, if there is no loss of the later Jingkang Change, these people can be regarded as replacing the main generals of the next generation of the Western Army, Liu Fa, Liu Zhongwu and others, after hearing the strategic concept of Fang La, he was scared into a cold sweat, and the imperial court was not heavily guarded by troops from the south of Biandu to the south of the Yangtze River, it was really possible to achieve it.

Lotte smiled: "Chen Hoop Bucket is right, but unfortunately history never repeats itself, let alone the word if!" ”

For this, Fang La can't deny it, "The commander of the defeated army is not brave enough!" ”

Lotte instructed his subordinates: "Bring a stool and chair, let Sect Leader Fang sit down and talk." ”

A soldier brought a stool and Fang La, Fang Lakou did not thank him, he sat down with a big grin, stared at Lotte, squinted and said: "Lord Le Hou is a generation of young talents, Fang La's old age is really not as good as ......"

Without saying much, in order to break through Fang La's last psychological defense, Lotte General took out the big killer: "In February, the Son of Heaven once issued an edict to recruit you, and Sect Master Fang rejected the good intentions of the saint, so he blocked his own way of life!" ”

Lotte's meaning is very clear, waiting for Fang La's only beheading.

"Since the day the army rebelled, Fang Mou had prepared for the worst." Fang La's expression was indifferent, and his eyes did not have the slightest wave, and then he seemed to remember something, raised his eyebrows and looked at Lotte and sneered: "Hou Ye Le, there were many soldiers under Fang's command before, and it is not that he did not have the ability to fight with Hou Ye, but it was just that Hou Ye Le released news everywhere to disturb the morale of Fang's troops, so that there were many people who fled, and Fang Mou was defeated today." ”

Lotte did not answer directly to this, but said: "Soldiers, treacherous ways, all the strategies that can be used, do everything, use them and use them skillfully, they are handsome, they can't use it, and defeat is the same!" ”

Fang La snorted: "What does Lord Le mean is that he will do whatever it takes to achieve the end, right? ”

"Since the day Le sent out the army, there have been more soldiers under Le than under the command of Sect Leader Fang." Lotte said, and then said slowly: "When I went out of Biandu, Le had only 50,000 horses, during which he recruited 3,000 soldiers in Jingdong and Songjiang, and opened to Su and Xiuzhou, and got 6,000 forbidden and chaotic people, totaling nearly 60,000.

During the period, the soldiers and horses of Taipingzhou, Jiangning, Runzhou, Huzhou, Guangde Army, and Changzhou were reunited, and there were not more than 100,000 people of all kinds of miscellaneous people. ”

Listening to Lotte's words, Fang Lagu was not angry but regretted, almost regretful intestines were clear, I didn't expect the imperial court's defense on the front line of Jinling to be so empty, if he listened to Chen Hoop's words and gathered his command to attack the north with all his might, even if he couldn't attack Biandu in the north, at least he could defend the Yangtze River in Jinling and rule by dividing the river with the imperial court.

With a long sigh, Fang La was depressed, Lotte was right, history will never be, let alone the word if.

At this moment, the voices in the distance suddenly became noisy, and there were more fights and screams.

"Go and see what's going on?" Lotte destiny.

Not long after, a soldier came to report: "Master Hou, the remnants of the bandits heard that the bandit leader Fang La was captured, so they came to attack, and now they have been beaten back by our army. ”

After listening to the soldier's report, Lotte turned his eyes to Fang La and hummed: "For half a year, the living beings have been poisonous, and many killings have been made, all of which are your fault!" ”

"My fault?" Fang La snorted first, and then laughed: "If it weren't for the mediocrity of the Son of Heaven, the court would be a traitor, because of the chaos of Huashigang, no matter how Fang Mou spoke, he would not be able to make millions of people follow Fang Mou, and it would be clear which mistake was at a glance!" ”

Not only Lotte, but also Wang Yu, Yang Weizhong and others cannot deny this matter, and they cannot be refuted.

"Master Hou, most of Bangyuan and Zitong are occupied by our army, and there are still many bandits who continue to resist stubbornly." At this moment, a soldier came in again.

Listening to the soldier's report, Fang Laxin became more and more excited, and laughed presumptuously: "See? This is the will of the people, even if Fang Mou has become a prisoner, these people still resist, how can the fault of the lord be refuted? ”

At this time, Lotte can't refute it, Fang La is right, if it weren't for the unkindness of the imperial court, even if Manichaeism developed its congregation, how could the people of Jiangnan rebel?

Lotte said: "Chuan Le's order, if there is a prisoner as the leader of the troublemaker, just tie him up and imprison him in one place, and don't kill again!" ”

How to make these rebellious people settle down is Lotte's biggest headache. Regardless of the future where there is a change in Jingkang, the two Zhejiang are their own business priorities, if there are too many killings, how to gain a foothold in the two Zhejiang, this is what Lotte is most worried about.

Fang La was captured, how to make these people stop rebelling has become an urgent matter for Lotte to solve in front of him, Lotte suddenly remembered a sentence he had heard in his previous life: Stone ox to stone drum, silver ten thousand five. Someone recognized it and bought all the Chengdu Mansion.

Lotte clearly remembers that this is to show that Zhang Xianzhong Shen Yin at the end of the year, and now he might as well borrow it and use it, maybe he can disintegrate the last bit of combat effectiveness of Fang La's corporaries.

Looking at Fang La, Lotte showed a strange smile, "A few days ago, Le heard a few crooked poems from a captive, and they read like this: 'The stone gate is against the stone house, and the silver is ten thousand and five. Someone knows how to break it and buy all the Hangzhou Mansion. ”

Fang La didn't know what Lotte meant, but he didn't say anything.

The generals set their eyes on Lotte, and their eyes instantly became hot.

Lotte looked at Fang La and continued: "The captured chaotic soldier once confessed that when your sect leader retreated in Tonglu, he disliked the gold and silver treasures plundered by Liangzhejiang was too cumbersome, delaying the speed of the march, and he was afraid of being stopped by the army led by Le, so he buried these gold and silver treasures in an unknown place, and then killed all the soldiers who knew the place where the treasure was buried. Someone knows how to break it and buy all the Hangzhou Mansion. Yes and no? ”

"Nonsense!" Fang La was furious.

"Le doesn't think so!" Lotte looked at Fang La, and continued to sneer and said: "Your sect leader Fang led his subordinates all the way to Hangzhou, killed the gentry and seized their family property, and suppressed the government to forcibly occupy the treasury. ”

Fang La was furious, but considering that he was a prisoner, he simply closed his eyes and said nothing.

The eyes of the generals in the tent were wide open, and they didn't see anything valuable in Fang Lajun's army when they broke through it, and what Lotte said was very reasonable, and after scrutiny, he immediately believed seven or eight points.

Lotte smiled again, and squeezed his eyes at Huang Kanzhen and Tu Si: "Go and spread this song to the captured bandit soldiers, and let it out that as long as you can provide Fang La's place to bury the silver, Ben Hou will immediately pardon him!" ”

Soon, the generals came back to their senses, the people of Fangla are here, what's the use of going to those chaotic soldiers, Lotte has always used treacherous soldiers, and now that this news is released, I think there is some kind of plan.
