"Humph!" The stout man sneered, put the pot back on the fire, and made a gesture, and the two men had already dropped the dead body off the platform. He turned his head, and his cold and lightning gaze swept over the remaining dozen or so officials, who fell to the ground one after another, kowtowing and begging for mercy. He sneered: "They know now that they are afraid, but when you were an official before, did you have half a bit of mercy for Xiaomin?" Which of these riches is not from the small people, every bit of it is the blood and tears of the small people, you want me to be merciful today, so why didn't you show mercy to the small people under your rule before? ”

In the face of the stout man's righteous and stern reprimand, the officials were suddenly speechless, and they had to kowtow and beg for mercy. The stout man didn't say much, waved his arm violently, and said loudly: "Dragged up one by one for execution, these dog officials can't let go of any of them today!" ”

Hearing the verdict of the stout man, the crowd of onlookers suddenly erupted in cheers, and many people fell to the ground and kowtowed to the stout man again and again, shouting: "Thank you, sir!" Thank you, Lord Qingtian, for waiting for me! ”

The stout man was clean and neat when he tried the murder, but he panicked in the face of many people in the audience, and hurriedly said loudly: "A certain family is Chen Antian, a striker under the command of the 'Holy Father', in our sect, 'the law is equal, and there is no distinction between the superior and inferior', and what I hate most in my life is the dog officials and wicked people who bully the weak and bully people with their power, so get up quickly!" ”

Everyone listened to Chen Antian's words, but they didn't get up and bowed down more, and the voices of prayer of "the law is equal, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior" gradually merged into one and went straight to the sky.

Chuzhou, also known as Shanyang and Huaiyin, blocked the sea and controlled Shandong. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the husband wanted to pass through China, and repaired the ditch to go out of the Jianghuai, that is, he was engaged in this. and Cao Pi plotted Wu, and the boat master also followed this to the south. After that, there was something going on in the north and south, and it became an important town. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty opened the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to communicate the north and south, and the junction of the canal and the Huai River was in Chuzhou, and the inlet of Surabaya and Lianshui that communicated the Yellow River water system and the Jianghuai water system was also not far from Chuzhou. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Xingmi defeated Zhu Wen's army in Qingkou, which was not far away, and he was able to run rampant in Huaishang. Decades later, Shanyang entered the Later Zhou, and the beacon fire of the Southern Tang Dynasty was close to the shore of the Yangtze River. If the Central Plains wants to go south, it must control this place, and the partial security in the south must also hold on to this place. After the unification of the Northern Song Dynasty, because Chuzhou was the important place of the southeast program, it also became the yamen of the Huainan shipping envoy.

Huainan sent the envoy to the yamen, from the yamen to the front of the hall, the two compartments were full of guards of the Shengjie army who were wearing iron armor and growing up, and they were heavily guarded. Since more than ten days ago, the imperial court issued a decree to lead the Privy Council, Kaifu Yitong Sansi, Taifu, and Jingguo Gongtong Guan as the Jianghuai Jingzhejiang Xuanfu envoys, and supervised the forbidden brigade and the 150,000 ** Fangla rebellion of Qin, Jin, and Han soldiers. This Huainan shipment made the yamen the location of the shogunate of this Tongguan.

There is a person sitting on the top of the festival hall, it is Tong Guan. I saw him say in a deep voice to the scarlet-robed civil official on the side: "If Wang Jiangming plays politics like this, if it weren't for Chen Gong's courage and truth, I'm afraid that the southeast is no longer owned by the imperial court." The southeast is where the wealth of the imperial court is, and now the thieves are powerful, and now the official family takes Tong as the envoy of the Xuanfu system, and entrusts him with the Jieyue, which is very big, and I am afraid that Tong can not bear it. Chen Gong has been in Jiangnan for many years and knows a lot, please teach me! At this time, Tong Guan's face was full of respect and humility, and there was no arrogant appearance of the annihilators rumored inside and outside. It turned out that this scarlet robe civil official was the original owner of this yamen, Chen Yu and Chen Hengming. When Fang La was in turmoil, the police arrived in Beijing, but it was hidden for the then ruling king Huang Wang Jiangming, and when he delayed, it was this person who played the details directly, and the Daojun Emperor only knew, and was shocked, with Tong Guan as the commander, leading the army to conquer Fang La.

That Chen Yu was not humble, and said proudly: "Tong Shuai, although there are millions of thieves, they have no armor and weapons, they are not used to war, and they are not restrained, they are a rabble, and there is no need to be afraid." In today's plan, there are two things that must be grasped quickly, and the big thing is done! ”

"Chen Gong, please speak!"

"The first case: The reason why the thief can bewitch the people is nothing more than the thief Zhu Mian in the name of responding to the bureau and making a bureau, spending official money, seeking and extorting flowers and stones in every possible way. The people were devastated, and they hated it. The thief took Zhu as his name and won the heart of Jiangnan Shishu. If you want to break the thief, you must first clean up the hearts of the people, ask Tong Shuai to play the court, abolish the Ying Feng and the Creation Bureau, abolish the Huashi Gang, and affirm the sins of the Zhu father and son, so that the people of Jiangnan will naturally abandon their armor and surrender, and the thieves will be self-defeating! ”

Tong Guan replied with a deep sigh: "What Chen Gong said is very true, and he immediately wrote to the court to make all of what Chen Gong said. As for the Huashi Gangyun along the way, they were all abandoned on the shore, which can show the determination of the imperial court to abolish the Huashi Gang; Second, you can also clean up the river, so as not to hinder the army from moving south! ”

Chen Yu didn't expect Tong Guan to speak so well, and he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Second, after the thieves rebelled, there were many people who responded to the rebellion from all directions, but these are just small troubles, as long as the thieves are destroyed, the rest should be self-defeating." Now I am only afraid that the thieves will pass through the state and county, and ignore it, and take Jingkou and Jinling to isolate the river. At that time, I was only afraid that the land south of the Yangtze River would no longer be owned by the imperial court! ”

Hearing Chen Yu's words, Tong Guan's face also changed slightly. He has also fought for more than ten years, he has never eaten pork and seen pigs running away, and when he heard it, he knew that Chen Yu's words were insiders. For the Northern Song Dynasty at that time, the combat effectiveness of the Fangla rebel army itself was not remarkable, after all, the main garrisons of the Northern Song Dynasty at that time were in the north, and there were very few ordnance in the treasury of Hangzhou and other places occupied by Fangla, and there were few ordnance such as armor and crossbows among the people, and the south had been peaceful for more than a hundred years, and there were no talents who knew how to train and organize the army. However, with the southward shift of the economic center, although the political center of the Northern Song Dynasty was still in the north and the frontier was in the northwest, it was no longer separated from the southeast. "Although the lower reaches of the Yangtze River stretch for thousands of miles, but at that time there were only a handful of ferries for large troops to cross the river, nothing more than Jingkou (Zhenjiang), Guabu and a few other places, if Fang La crossed the county of Dongzhou in Zhejiang at that time, went straight to Jingkou and Jinling, and blocked the river, it would be unimaginable for the financial and political blow to the Northern Song Dynasty.

"Someone!" Tong Guan ordered Yu Hou, who bowed from the door, in a deep voice: "Beat the drum to summon the generals, and the commander will hold a military meeting!" ”

"The marshal is going to gather the generals, and it is estimated that the army will go south!" Hearing the rumbling drums, Chen Zhe stood up, pointed to the six-sided Daxu in front of the hall not far away, and smiled at Zhou Ping on the side: "See, this is Jianjie." Zhou Prison You are blessed, this time follow Tong Shuai to the south, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can also transfer to a seventh-level or eighth-level to say the least, we martial artists, aren't we just looking forward to keeping up with a good boss. In these years, who else in the world is as good as our Tong Shumi? ”

"It's a pity that it's a eunuch who has no eggs!" Zhou Ping sneered, but his face pretended to be grateful: "What Brother Chen said is that the lower officials can catch up with this opportunity, and thanks to your cultivation and promotion, you must repay the general well afterwards this time!" ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" After the "corrosion" of Jeju City in the past few days, the relationship between Chen Zhe and Zhou Ping has become a lot closer: "This time you have merit in collecting ships, and a certain family will show it to the marshal, and your credit is indispensable!" ”

"Thank you, big brother!" Zhou Ping hurriedly thanked him, it turned out that in Jeju for a few days, with the help of Zhang Jiahe, he hurriedly collected enough boats, and finally arrived in Chuzhou along the river within the time limit. Although he is also a battle-hardened battle, and his hands are stained with blood, it is the first time that he can be registered in the history books for a big war like this, and he can't help but be a little nervous.

"Chen Zhe, the commander of the Chuan Shengjie Army! Jeju Yangshan Fortress Prison Detention Zhou Ping Meets Visit! ”

At this time, there was a long sound of communication in the room, Chen Zhe and Zhou Ping were stunned for a moment, they almost couldn't believe their ears, according to the official positions of the two of them, how could it be their turn to participate in such a high-level military discussion. Just as the two of them hesitated, the same voice was repeated. The two hurriedly tidied up their robes and walked towards the hall.

Zhou Ping came to the hall, only to see that dozens of people in the two compartments were extraordinary, secretly thinking that Tong Guan had been in the northwest for more than ten years, and sure enough, there were many famous generals under his command, which was extraordinary. Zhou and Chen hurriedly bowed down, Zhou Ping secretly looked up, and saw that the person above was about fifty years old, burly, with a dark face, dozens of short beards under his chin, eyes like electricity, and a demeanor. Zhou Ping also had to secretly admire, no wonder among the tens of thousands of eunuchs since ancient times, only this person could be crowned king.

"Where are Chen Zhe and Zhou Ping under the account!" A calm voice came down from above, and Zhou Ping hurriedly responded: "The lower official is here!" ”

"The two of you and your subordinate boats are at the disposal of Wang Wuzhou, the vanguard of the army, and take the lead in crossing the river to crusade against the thieves! Do you understand? ”

"Xia Guan understands!" Zhou Ping replied in his mouth, but he was shocked in his heart, he thought that he was just a transport soldier this time, but he didn't expect to become a pioneer officer, and he trained his whole army to deal with the great disaster, but he was not poisoned by the peasant uprising that resisted feudal rule, but until now, he didn't even touch a single hair of the Jin people, and there were many Northern Song Dynasty people who died under his hands.

Outside the yamen.

"Prison Zhou, go!" Chen Zhe pulled Zhou Ping's sleeve with a big grin: "You go and call a few brothers, everyone go and have fun!" ”

"Happy, happy?" Zhou Ping was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "It's not very good, isn't this about to send troops?" (To be continued.) )
