Chapter 119: The World Rises in Turmoil
In the blink of an eye, it was the sixth year of Zhenghe.
Tong Guan won the Western Xia and grabbed some territory, but this was not a good thing for the Great Song Dynasty, where the treasury was tight.
In terms of meritorious deeds, it takes a lot of money and food to stabilize the new territory.
Coupled with the forest garden that the Son of Heaven has been building, in order to maintain this seemingly prosperous and powerful Song Dynasty, there are many excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the people are more and more sad.
Just after the New Year's pass, Hedong Tianhu got up.
Tian Hu was originally a hunter in Qinyuan County, Weisheng Prefecture, with strength and martial arts. In addition, the east of the river is surrounded by thousands of mountains, which is easy to gather, so this guy entangled some people to fall into the grass and loot property everywhere.
In the year of arrival, many people and horses were gathered, and there were many mountains in Hedong and little land, and in the past two years, floods and droughts have occurred frequently, the people are poor and rich, and people are confused.
Tian Hu took the opportunity to lead his troops and horses to capture the Weisheng army and began to invade the state and seize the county.
The situation in Hedong is also the same as in Shandong, civil officials ask for money, military generals are afraid of death, and although there are officers and soldiers in various prefectures and counties to defend, they are all old and weak. or a soldier who eats two or three soldiers' salaries, or an idle companion who is powerful, and pays out a dozen or two heads, and also buys one to serve, and ends up paying for some food and salary. When he arrived, he hired someone to agree. The top and bottom are unbreakable.
The state has spent all its money, but it has not been of any use.
When I got to that season, I didn't know how to fight, horizontally and vertically, and when I saw the dust in front of me, I only hated my grandmother for having two feet.
The officers and soldiers who went to chase and suppress Tian Hu even ran from place to place, bluffing, and even killing good people and risking their merits.
The people became more and more resentful, and instead went to Congtian Hu to avoid the officers and soldiers.
On the first day of the fifth month, as usual, all the leaders went to the Gathering Hall to deliberate.
Zhu Gui, the leader of the chief detective, also said about Tian Hu's recent situation, after beating the Weisheng army. Tian Hu seized several surrounding counties.
When Liangshan was in full swing, Shi Jin also strengthened the intelligence department. In addition to Zhang Qing, Sun Erniang, Zhu Fu and Li Li, who were in charge of the North and South Hotels, Dai Zong, Le He, Shi Qian, and Bai Sheng were made the leaders of the secret report in the army. Zhu Gui became the chief detective leader.
As soon as Zhu Gui finished speaking, Ruan Xiaoqi stood up and shouted: "Tian Hu's gang dares to rebel, my Liangshan is a hundred times stronger than him, so we simply rebel." ”
Li Kui also grinned and shouted: "Brother Seventh is right, everyone went to Tokyo and took the bird position. Shi Jin's brother is the emperor, and we are all generals. ”
Chen Da and Liu Tang also called out.
Most of the leaders didn't speak, but looked at Shi Jin, who was sitting on the tiger skin chair in the middle. He is the one who has made the final decision on Liangshan.
In the autumn of the first year of Zhenghe, Shi Jin led people to set up a village in Liangshan, and he was nineteen years old that year.
More than five years have passed in a flash, Shi Jin is already twenty-four years old, the fluff on his mouth has turned into a beard when he was a teenager, and his handsome face has a lot more majesty.
Shi Jin waved his hand to stop the noisy crowd and said, "The Great Song Dynasty is indeed decaying, but it is not yet time to perish, and no one can resist the Western Army now." Needless to say, this matter is not to be said. Everyone just trained the soldiers and horses, and did the right thing for the sky. ”
Ruan Xiaoqi and the others had no choice but to sit down when they saw Shi Jin say this.
Shi Jin is famous all over the world, and Chai Jin has not changed much. is still a good man who comes to the door, but limited to his status as a royal family in the previous dynasty, he does not dare to rescue the people on a large scale like Shi Jin. Not to mention doing the right thing for the sky, so Shi Jin's reputation has long surpassed Chai Jin's.
this day. When Chai Jin was sitting in the village, he received a book. After seeing it, he hurriedly asked a supervisor to pack his luggage and selected more than a dozen bankers.
It turned out that Chai Jin had an uncle, Chai Huangcheng, who lived in Gaotang Prefecture, and was forced to occupy his garden by Yin Tianxi, the wife and uncle of Gao Lian, the governor of this state.
The next day, when the fifth watch got up, Chai Jin took the servants to get on the horse, left the village, and looked at Gao Tangzhou.
One day later, he came to Gaotang Prefecture, entered the city until he dismounted in front of the Chaihuang City house, and stayed in the outer hall.
When Chai Jin entered the bedroom to look at his uncle Chai Huangcheng, he only saw him like gold paper, and his body was like dry firewood. The teeth are clenched, and the water and rice are no longer in.
Chai Jin saw Chai Huangcheng like this, and he was also sad, and sat in front of his uncle's couch and cried bitterly.
The step-room of Chai Huangcheng came out to persuade Chai Jin: "It is not easy for the big officials to saddle the horse, and it is not easy for the big officials to saddle the horse, and they will not worry about it for the first time. ”
After Chai Jin gave a salute, he asked about things.
Jimuro replied: "The new prefect here, Gao Lian, who is also in charge of the soldiers and horses of Honshu, is the uncle and brother of Captain Gao Tai in Tokyo, and he relies on his brother's power to do everything here. brought a wife's uncle Yin Tianxi to come, and people called him Yin Zhige. The man relied on his brother-in-law's incorruptible power to run rampant and harm people here. One of the little people who were so attentive said to him that there was a garden pavilion behind my house, and it was well built. So the guy came into the house with some idlers, and he was going to send us out, and he wanted to come and stay. The imperial city said to him: 'My house is a golden branch and jade leaf, and there are iron coupons for the first dynasty Danshu at the door, and no one is allowed to bully them. How dare you take my house and drive me away? That man will not be able to speak, and will let us go out of the house. The imperial city went to pull him, but he was pushed and beaten by this guy, so he was bedridden, did not eat and drink, and took medicine ineffectively, and he could see that the sky was far away and the earth was near. Today, when a big official comes to the house to make a proposition, some mountains and rivers are low, and they are not worried. ”
Chai Jin replied: "Aunt Zun rest assured, I only care about asking a good doctor to treat my uncle, but there is a door, and the little nephew will send someone back to his house in Cangzhou, go to get the Danshu iron coupon, and deal with him." So I told him to go to the palace today, and I was not afraid of him! ”
Chai Huangcheng struggled to his own strength and said to Chai Jin: "The virtuous nephew is ambitious and does not dishonor his ancestors. I was killed by Yin Tianxi today, you can look at the face of flesh and blood, go to Beijing to stop the complaint, and take revenge on me. Take care! Take care! No more! ”
After that, he fell down on the couch, whining and wailing.
Chai Jin couldn't help crying when he saw his uncle die.
Although his family was robbed of the throne, he was protected by Danshu iron coupons, when had he ever been bullied like this.
Seeing Chai Jin's sadness in crying, he was afraid that he would cry and faint, and no one was in charge, so he persuaded Chai Jin to say: "The big officials are troubled for a day, and please discuss the future." ”
Chai Jin also knew that he was in charge of the whole family, wiped his tears, stood up and said: "The oath is in my house, I have never brought it, I will teach someone to get it in the starry night, and I must use it to go to Tokyo to complain." The uncle respected the spirit, and arranged for the coffin to be buried, which became a filial piety service, but then discussed. ”
At the moment, Chai Jin asked people to prepare the inner coffin and the outer coffin, lay the spiritual position according to the ceremony, and wore heavy filial piety, and mourned the size of the door.
On the third day, this Yin Tianxi rode a horse, led thirty or twenty idle men, held a slingshot, a crossbow, a blow pipe, a balloon, a rod, and a musical instrument, and played outside the city.
Chai Jin heard that the troublemaker was coming again, and there was no one in his uncle's family who was in charge, so he hung up a filial piety suit and came out to agree.
Although Chai Jin was a Xuan Ang, Yin Tianxi didn't look at it, sat on the horse, squinted his eyes and asked, "Who are you from his family?" ”
Chai Jin replied: "It's Chai Jin, the nephew of Chai Huangcheng. ”
Yin Tianxi said: "The day before yesterday, I divided the Tao and taught his family to move out of the house, how can I not follow my words?" ”
Chai Jin didn't want to make trouble in his uncle's mourning hall, so he swallowed his anger and said: "It's that my uncle is sick and doesn't dare to move. ”
Yin Tianxi said: "Fart! I only have to leave the house in three days, and if you don't move outside for three days, you will be put in a flail first, and I will eat a hundred sticks! ”
Chai Jin saw that this guy was so rude, and he couldn't help it anymore, and shouted: "Zhige Hugh deceives each other!" My family is also the son of the dragon and the grandson of the dragon, who dares to be disrespectful with the iron coupon of the first dynasty Danshu? ”
Yin Tianxi sneered: "You take it out and I'll see it!" ”
Chai Jin said: "Now at home in Cangzhou, someone has been sent to fetch it." ”
Yin Tianxi heard Chai Jin say this, and said to the idlers on the left and right: "This guy is nonsense!" There is an oath and iron coupons, and I am not afraid, I will fight this guy left and right! ”
When these idlers saw Yin Tianxi speak, they were about to do it immediately.
The bankers brought by Chai Jin also poured up.
Chai Jin thought that he had an oath to protect himself, and he was afraid that this Yin Tianxi was going to make trouble in the mourning hall, so he immediately let Zhuang Ke fight with these idlers.
Although Chai Jin does not have a good man like Wu Song among these villagers, they are all people who can punch and kick, how can these idlers in Gaotang Prefecture be opponents.
But in a few moments, those idlers were knocked to the ground.
Yin Tianxi didn't expect that someone in this city would dare to make a move with him, seeing that his subordinates were knocked down one after another, he was afraid that those people would come to beat him again, so he hurriedly rode a horse and fled.
Those idlers saw that Yin Tianxi had fled, and they all fled.
Chai Jin also called Zhuang Ke and went back to the courtyard.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to the courtyard, Yin Tianxi broke in with a businessman.
With a helper, Yin Tianxi raised his toes again, pointed at Chai Jin and said, "Take this guy for me." ”
A few men wanted to tie up with Yin Tianxi, and immediately came up to get firewood.
Chai Jin asked, "Why did you arrest me?" ”
Yin Tianxi sneered: "You have injured many people, and they are all here, you need to deny it." I'll let you know what I'm doing when I'm in prison. ”
Chai Jin saw that he was a prince and came over to get him, and shouted: "I am the grandson of the Dragon Emperor of the previous dynasty, and I have Taizu Danshu iron coupons at home, who dares to be rude to me!" ”
Several people who were in charge of the public saw that Chai Jin's character was extraordinary, and they were all frightened.
Yin Tianxi said with a smile: "You sometimes take it out, otherwise there will be one more crime of pretending to be the royal family of the previous dynasty to cheat." ”
Chai Jin said: "The Danshu iron coupon is placed at home in Cangzhou, and I have asked someone to pick it up, and it will be available in a few days." ”
Yin Tianxi said impatiently: "Who is impatient to wait for you for a few days, when you really have any Danshu iron coupons, I am not afraid of you." Get him for me first. ”
A few of the men who were in charge saw that Yin Tianxi was about to be angry, but they didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately twisted Chai Jin.
Yin Tianxi grabbed Chai Jin and waved his hand: "Take him back to the yamen, let my brother-in-law try it for a trial, and then call him when he goes to prison." ”
When the daughters of the Chai Huangcheng family saw Chai Jin being arrested, they all knelt in the mourning hall and wept.
Chai Jin didn't believe that Gao Lian was as ignorant as Yin Tianxi, so he didn't panic, turned around and ordered: "You keep watch well, and wait for me to come back to make the decision." (To be continued......)
