Cui Deben's strategy was to recruit the armed forces of local clan groups and township regiments to enter Mengshan to pursue the traitors.

During the period of the division of Middle-earth, the clan and the township regiment belonged to the private armed forces of the local aristocracy, and the main purpose was to protect private property, especially in the border areas between countries, such as the Jianghuai region and the Jingxiang region, this kind of private armed forces as a subsidiary force of the regular army, played an important role in the battle to defend the country.

After the reunification of China, the emperor and the central government wanted to ban the clan groups and township groups in various places, but this strict zhòng endangered the interests of the local nobles, and also jeopardized the great cause of local stability and unification. The lesser of two evils, the great cause of reunification and the stability of the national Zuo were the top priorities, so the emperor and the central government had no choice but to compromise, retaining most of the clan and township regiments, and incorporating them into the Weifu system, as the main component of the local army, assuming the responsibility of protecting the locality. Today, the clan and township groups have developed into the armed forces of the lifang (township) to maintain local law and order.

It stands to reason that the clan and the township regiment are subordinate organizations of Weifu Yingyang, and Weifu Yingyang has every right to mobilize and command them, but the actual situation is that the clan and township regiments, as the private armed forces of the local aristocracy, are always in the hands of local forces, and Weifu Yingyang cannot command them at all. So when Cui Deben came up with this strategy, Liang Dezhong's eyes lit up at first, and he felt that this strategy was very clever.

The Zongtuan Township Regiment is different from Weifu Yingyang, it is a paramilitary organization, and military discipline has very little binding force on it, as long as it is within the scope of the law, it can do whatever it wants, and the degree of freedom is larger. Drove the clan and township regiments to Mengshan to suppress the thieves, and the credit for winning the battle belongs to Weifu Yingyang, and it is their own business to lose, and it has nothing to do with Weifu Yingyang, it can be said that there are many birds with one stone, but the problem is that those group leaders of the sect and township group, Zuo Shi, are all "earth turtles" who are fine, and if you want to use them, you have to come up with rich bait that is enough to impress them, otherwise the "earth turtles" will not bird you at all.

As soon as Liang Dezhong thought of those "turtles", his anger rushed upward. Liang De is important to collect money in Pengcheng, and it is natural to compete with the local nobles in Pengcheng, plus one of the two sides is from Guanlong and the other is from Shandong, the contradictions between each other are bound to be fierce, and conflicts are inevitable, so Liang Dezhong immediately had a "headache". The plan is a good plan, but the problem is that the Wei Mansion commands the Township Regiment of the Immovable Sect, and the nobles of Pengcheng will not obey Liang Dezhong's orders. Fortunately, Cui Deben is from the first wealthy family in Shandong, and he is highly respected in the pride of Pengcheng nobles, and he is very appealing.

If this plan is implemented by Cui Deben, there is a high probability of success. Now Liang Dezhong is eager to suppress the thief and make meritorious contributions, and Cui Deben is anxious and takes the initiative to release the "bait", so does Liang Dezhong swallow this "bait" or refuse? If this "bait" is swallowed, the two sides will definitely maintain cooperation, but Cui Deben has taken the initiative, and Liang Dezhong may lose control of the situation in Pengcheng, and the consequences are unpredictable. On the contrary, if Liang Dezhong refuses to cooperate, Cui Deben has no loss, but Liang Dezhong's loss is great, and the two sides will inevitably have greater grievances because of this matter.

After all, Liang Dezhong is a general in a hundred battles, and he is decisive in killing, and after carefully weighing the pros and cons, he decisively decided to cooperate.

Together, there are two benefits, and fighting is two injuries. From the perspective of the future domestic situation, it is easy for the Eastern Crusade to fight the small and barbaric country of Goguryeo, and it is purely a knife to kill chickens. The emperor was so happy and put on such a big show, to put it bluntly, because he was holding the victory and deliberately building momentum, so that the general public in the world would remember his martial arts and his authority. Only when the authority of the emperor and the central authorities is greater can the reformers firmly control their authority, continue to deepen reforms, increase reforms, and unswervingly carry forward the cause of reform. The goal of the reformers was to centralize power, to put it bluntly, that is, the emperor and the central government wanted to redistribute the power and wealth of Middle-earth, and to take away the power and wealth that were originally in the hands of the gate lords.

Liang Dezhong's local aristocratic group in Guanzhong is a vested interest, is a staunch conservative, they helped the emperor and the imperial family to seize the world, unified Middle-earth, and should naturally enjoy the power and wealth of Middle-earth, but now the emperor and the imperial family are treacherous and want to deprive them of their power and wealth, then it is conceivable that after the victory of the Eastern Crusade, the "fight" between the reformists and conservatives in the court will become more and more fierce and bloody, and the emperor and the reformers have the advantage of the victory of the Eastern Crusade. A fierce blow will be inflicted on the conservative aristocracy.

Obviously, once the emperor and the reformers gain the upper hand in the political struggle, Liang Dezhong, as one of the members of the conservative faction, will of course have a very hard time in Weifu, if he is lucky, he may be able to survive for a few years, if he is unlucky, it is estimated that he will be "driven" home after the Eastern Crusade, so he has limited time to collect money, and there is no need for him to waste his limited time in the "struggle" with the Shandong people.

Liang Dezhong did not shy away from it, and got straight to the point, "If this plan works, Cui Juncheng needs to help, I don't know what Cui Juncheng wants?" ”

Since Liang Dezhong made his position very readily, Cui Deben no longer pretended, he coughed lightly, and said with a pun, "It is said that the thieves of Qizhou, Bo and Meng Rang, were surrounded and suppressed by Zhang Xutuo, the county of Qi, and had to flee from Changbai Mountain and fled south to Lu County. ”

Liang Dezhong originally had a smile on his face and listened attentively, but when he heard this, he lost his temper for a moment, not only his smile froze, but there was also a trace of doubt in his eyes. Cui Deben, you are so bold, you dare to take advantage of the Dangshan bandits to trouble Xuzhou, and you have to command the army to the east, what is your purpose? Where is the Guard's Mansion and a certain place? Do you want to do it alone, or do you have other plans?

The thieves of Qizhou, Bo and Meng Rang, had rebelled against Changbai Mountain for several months, and this matter not only spread throughout Qilu, but also throughout the north and south of the Great River, and had a heavy impact on Hebei.

This year, the river flooded, Henan, Hebei and even Qilu along the river counties were all affected, and the affected population was large, but because the whole country was preparing for the Eastern Expedition, the army and war materials were concentrated in Zhuo County, and the official warehouses in various places were emptied, plus the bureaucrats in the past filled their private pockets and wantonly occupied, at this moment, in order to make up for the shortfall, so the Yicang in various places was also emptied, which led to the inability of the local government to provide disaster relief or disaster relief, and the bureaucrats deliberately concealed the disaster from the emperor and the central government in order to keep the official hat on their heads. The result is a natural disaster and a man-made disaster, starvation and death all over the wilderness, which is unbearable.

At this time, Wang Bo and Meng Rang of Qizhou rebelled, which pointed out a way for the Hebei marshals, and soon, Hebei marshals Liu Badao and Li Deyi rebelled according to Douzigang, Gao Shida, Sun Anzu, and Dou Jiande rebelled according to Gao Jibo, Zhang Jin said that Wang An rebelled according to Qinghe, Hao Xiaode and Liu Heimin rebelled according to the plains, and all kinds of anti-marshals gathered on both sides of the North Canal and frequently plundered the Yongji Canal, which posed a huge threat to the preparations for the Eastern Expedition.

Why did the rebellion break out overnight in the north and south of the river? How did the aristocratic bureaucracy view these rebellions? And how did they deal with these rebellions? The people of Shandong unanimously blamed the Guanlong people, because the Guanlong aristocratic group held the authority of the dynasty, and the main officials of most of the counties and counties in Shandong were Guanlong aristocrats, and the Shandong aristocracy only occupied a small part. The people of Guan Long accused the Shandong people of being ill-intentioned and conspiring to overthrow the country, and behind the rebellion in the north and south of the river were the "black hands" of the Shandong nobles, and it was precisely because of the promotion of the Shandong nobles that the chaos in the north and south of the river was caused today.

The Guanlong aristocratic bureaucracy deliberately concealed the truth, and the Shandong aristocratic bureaucracy deliberately added fuel to the fire, and as a result, everyone joined forces to deceive the emperor and the central government.

However, not every Guanlong nobleman ignored the lives and deaths of the common people, and hid the truth from the emperor and the central government. Zhang Xutuo, the county of Qi, is an exception. Zhang Xutuo was a military general, but he was driven out of the army because of political reasons, and became a civil official in the local area, perhaps because of his temperament, or perhaps because of his loyalty to the emperor and the kingdom, he opened a warehouse to help the victims without hesitation despite the opposition of his subordinates, which won the hearts of the people and the support of some local nobles. Next, he risked losing his head, openly violated the law, conscripted local clans, township regiments and strong men in the name of the county government, formed a local army of tens of thousands of people, and launched an encirclement and suppression against the rebels in Changbai Mountain. His reason is very simple, if you want to ensure the Eastern Crusade and ensure that the Donglai Naval Division can cross the sea and fight, you must ensure the stability of the Qilu region, and the stability of Qilu depends on the stability of Qizhou, if you want to stabilize Qizhou, you must kill the traitors and seek peace on one side.

Zhang Xutuo, as the head of the local administration, did not have the right to command the army, and what he did in Qizhou was equivalent to rebellion, however, what everyone did not expect was that the emperor and the center actually believed the expression in his recital, and not only did not hold him accountable, but made an exception to grant him the right to command the army, responsible for the important task of fighting rebellion in Qizhou and its surrounding areas.

Why is this unthinkable happening? Some people believe that the emperor and the central government had to make compromises and concessions to the conservative forces in the court in order to ensure the smooth progress of the Eastern Crusade. It doesn't matter what Zhang Xutuo's political position is, the important thing is that he used to be a fierce general under the account of Yang Su, the old Duke of Chu, and was a member of Yang Su's line. Now Yang Su's political inheritance is all inherited by Yang Xuangan, the prince of Xiao Chu, Yang Xuangan is now the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, a high and powerful position, and one of the core figures of the conservative forces in the Eastern Capital. The emperor and the central government made an exception and granted the local administrator Zhang Xutuo the right to command the army and entrusted him with important tasks, which was obviously a signal to the conservative forces in the court to seek peace. The Eastern Crusade is imminent, so there should be no more internal trouble, and if you want to make trouble, you will have to wait until after the Eastern Crusade. In any case, the interests of the kingdom are higher than the interests of the kingdom, and without the interests of the kingdom, how can there be the interests of the nobles and bureaucrats?

The emperor and the center got off to a bad start, and depriving the local magistrate of the right to command the army was an important reform measure implemented by the emperor after his accession to the throne, with the aim of weakening the power of the local government in the name of separating the military from the government, and at the same time further centralizing power in the central government. ＝
