Chapter 154: Fangla Uprising

The people of Liangshan did not expect that there were more than 70,000 soldiers and horses under Gao Yu's command who would choose to flee, and in order to prevent the sneak attack of the officers and soldiers, the Liangshan camp was five miles away from the city, and when the Liangshan horse army heard the news and killed outside the city of Jeju, most of the officers and soldiers had already fled.

The Liangshan Horse Army also took advantage of the confusion of the officers and soldiers to enter the city and forced down more than 10,000 officers and soldiers in the city who had not had time to escape.

The soldiers and horses of Liangshan chased and killed the officers and soldiers for more than ten miles before collecting the troops and returning to the camp.

Days later, the smell of blood still permeated the city.

Escorted by his own soldiers, Shi Jin and Xiao Jiasui and other leaders entered Jeju.

In the past two years, Liangshan disaster relief has saved millions of people.

The name of the benevolent and righteous king spread all over the world, and everywhere Shi Jin went, there were onlookers, and few people would avoid the Liangshan army.

And now in Jeju City, except for the soldiers of Yangsan guarding on both sides of the road, there is no longer a single figure to be seen.

Looking at Jeju, which was like a dead city, Shi Jin's nameless fire rose again, and said: "The captured officers and soldiers are all beheaded and beheaded, and the officers and soldiers below will each be punished with twenty canes and expelled from Jeju." ”

In yesterday's battle, more than 20,000 officers and soldiers were captured in Liangshan, and Mei Zhan, the envoy of Yingzhou Runan Jiedu, was also captured alive by Guan Sheng.

Shi Jin did not hesitate, and asked Mei Zhan and all the officers above the capital head to be beheaded that night.

Xiao Jiasui was also very angry when he saw a prosperous state capital turn into an empty city, and he didn't dissuade him anymore, saying, "Brother can let people release the news." First, it may be able to create some trouble for Gao Yu; Second, it can deter other forbidden armies, lest they do anything to kill good people again. ”

There are two more points that can let the forbidden army in the world know the reason for Liangshan's killing. lest they henceforth be unwilling to abandon their weapons and surrender. At the same time, it can let the people of the world recognize the face of the current court.

However, Shi Jin was angry, and Xiao Jiasui did not say these two points.

Shi Jin nodded and said, "That's what the military advisor said. Zhu Gui, you do this with your heart. ”

Zhu Gui, the head of the chief detective of the cottage, arched his hand and said, "Brother, don't worry." Within five days, I will let the people of the Central Plains know about Gao Yu's atrocities. ”

In the past two years, under Zhu Gui's deployment, Liangshan's spies have spread all over the Central Plains, and there are only five roads in Jiangnan and Guanxi, which are far away, and Zhu Gui has not set foot in them for the time being.

After entering the mansion, Shi Jin sat in the lobby. Said: "The court is unkind, and the officers and soldiers are tyrannical. Although Gao Yu fled, I am afraid that the imperial court will still send troops to fight my Liangshan. There are many of my cottages outside Liangshan Shuibo. Later officers and soldiers said that they would also learn from Gao Yu, a traitor, and kill on a large scale. So I want to move all the cottages to Jeju, what do you think? ”

Xiao Jiasui said: "What my brother thinks about is that only when the old and young are stabilized can the brothers fight with peace of mind." And the imperial court has been conscripted several times. The people of Jeju are guilty of my cottage. I have also been harassed several times, and it is time to compensate the people of Jeju. After we occupy Jeju, we can divide our troops and conquer the three counties of Renseong, Jinxiang, and Yunseong, divide the land among the people, exempt them from taxes, and win the hearts of the people. Now there are more than 40,000 elite soldiers in my cottage, and if you defend the city, the imperial court will send 100,000 western troops. Don't want to break Jeju. ”

Shi Jin saw that Xiao Jiasui also agreed, and immediately sent someone to send a message to Zhu Wu, who was sitting in Liangshan. At the same time, three armies were sent to attack the three counties of Rencheng, Jinxiang and Yunseong, which were under the jurisdiction of Jeju.

The territory of Jeju is naturally the place with the most spies in Yangsan, and it didn't take much effort for Yangsan to lay down three counties.

Shi Jin immediately announced the exemption of all harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, leaving only the commercial tax and the agricultural tax of one ten, and at the same time exempting this year's tax.

Under the transportation of Yangsan Mountain's army, Yangsan also arrived in Jeju soon.

Xiao Jiasui's attributes of being good at internal affairs were revealed again, and he quickly settled all the old and young in Yangsan, so that Jeju quickly restored its prosperous scene.

Song Jiang also rose and became the governor of Jeju.

Yangsan already had prestige in Jeju, and with the lure of Yangsan's land division, most of the people of Jeju lived and worked in peace and contentment, and only a few people fled Jeju because they were afraid that the officers and soldiers would come to conquer again.

It is said that Gao Yu fled back to Tokyo with his troops, and used the plague in Jeju to cover up the fact that he was defeated and fled.

When the Son of Heaven heard that there was a plague in Jeju, he did not punish Gao Yu, but just asked people to prevent and control the plague, wait for the Jeju plague to pass, and then send Gao Yu to lead the army to attack Yangsan.

Gao Yu also received some rewards for suppressing the rebellion of the people of Jeju.

Although within a few days, it was rumored in the market that Gao Yu ordered the slaughter of the people of Jeju Mancheng, and Yangsan occupied Jeju, divided the land and exempted from taxes, but under Gao Yu's clever tongue, the emperor still believed Gao Yu's words and waited for the unwarranted plague to pass.

After Yangsan occupied Jeju, he did not continue to conquer the city, but only recruited troops and horses, and gathered grass and grain.

In two days, the capture of the three counties of Jeju also made the people in the rivers and lakes see the gap between Tian Hu, Wang Qing and Liangshan, and Liangshan is known as the name of benevolence and righteousness, for a time, there was an endless stream of heroes who came to Liangshan.

In June, Hua gave birth to a son for Shi Jin.

Shi enterprising the name Anbang, exempted Jeju from paying taxes for another year, and rewarded the soldiers of the three armies.

Shi Jin did not overhaul the palace like Tian Hu and Wang Qing, but chose a large Jeju mansion to live in.

In October of the second year of Xuanhe, Fang La, who had been secretly forming a society, was sued by the village officials, and Fang La was forced to gather a crowd to revolt, and quickly swept through the south of the Yangtze River with the slogan of "Zhu Mian".

One is that in recent years, Zhu Mian has used Huashigang to kill and loot and extort the people, which has caused the southeast people's resentment to boil, and the second is that there are many Manichaean followers.

Therefore, Fang La's rebellion was much stronger than that of Tian Hu and Wang Qing, and in just a few days, there were tens of thousands of people in the uprising.

Fang La called himself the Holy Father, divided the civil and military officials, and organized the uprising team.

At the end of November, Qingxi County was captured.

At the beginning of December, it captured Muzhou, and then quickly occupied Shouchang, Fenshui, Tonglu, Sui'an and other counties. Then waved his army to the west and conquered Shezhou, and the officials of Wuyuan, Jixi, Qimen, and Yixian fled when they heard the news.

Fang La's rebel army attacked all the way to Hangzhou, the capital of Liangzhejiang Road.

Zhao Zhen, the governor of Hangzhou, saw that the rebel army was mighty, abandoned the city and fled, and after the rebel army entered Hangzhou, he killed Chen Jian, the envoy of the two Zhejiang roads, and Zhao Yue, the envoy of Lian Visit.

The long-standing grievances of the masses killed the officials when they saw them, and excavated the grave of Cai Jing's grandfather, exposing his bones.

Manichaean congregations from all over the country also raised troops in response to Fang La, and for a time, smoke erupted in all parts of the south of the Yangtze River.

Cai Jing's ancestral grave was dug up, Fang La swept the south of the Yangtze River again, and the traitors in the court did not dare to cover it up anymore, so they could only tell the emperor.

At that time, the Fangla Righteous Army was already known as a million people.

When the emperor heard that there were one million people in Fangla's righteous army, he was almost frightened and fell down from the Jinluan Palace, so he hurriedly ordered Tong Guan to take 150,000 elite western troops to Jiangnan to quell the rebellion, and allowed Tong Guan to act cheaply.

This Tong Guan has always been bold, in the early years in the west with force, the emperor sent a decree to retreat, Tong Guan dared to hide the emperor's will, pretending that the emperor let the army fight bravely to kill the enemy, so that the western army generals will move forward bravely and win a big victory.

This time, he led the troops to the south of the Yangtze River, and under the help of the staff, he abolished the Creation Bureau, suspended the "Huashi Gang", deposed Zhu Mian's official position, and gave the Fangla Rebellion under the name of "Zhu Mian" a trick to draw salary.
