Chapter Ninety-Three: The History of the Rebels

Lu Bing nodded calmly, sat on the first seat, and said without any greetings: "I have to vomit the sentence that I know that the other side can win a hundred battles, everyone has been dealing with the Gutian rebels for a long time, but I still have to listen to the detailed information of the Gutian rebels and their history, let's brainstorm and strive to find historical problems and breakthroughs in them, and destroy them from within the enemy." ”

If you can fight hard, you can't fight hard is Lu Bing's consistent style, Lu Bing is a Honghu, how can he fight to the death with the house sparrow. In the think tank, out of the recognized sharp teeth and a master of storytelling, this person left the factory and began to introduce the situation of the Gutian rebels to everyone. Everyone present was familiar with these situations, including Lu Bing, because they had been fighting the Gutian rebels for a long time, and they had already studied the enemy army thoroughly before coming to Guangxi.

It's just that what Lu Bing said makes sense, listening to it is harmless anyway, and he may not really grasp the inner part of the rebels, so everyone listened patiently to this familiar information that could no longer be familiar.

The Gutian rebels have a long history, and Lu Bing, who has not been an official for a long time, has had several encounters with it, except for the current battle of the gong and the drum, the most recent one is that the emperor sent Lu Bing to supervise the army and investigate the people's situation, and Lu Bing went to visit Yang Tinghe by the way.

It was Wang Shouren who quelled the rebellion that time, Wang Shouren had a lot of achievements, and when he arrived in the land of Liangguang, he was called an invincible, and under the power of the tiger, the rebels were quickly quelled, but they were not really exterminated, and as soon as the army of the imperial court left, they continued to resurge.

It's better to say something about Guangdong, although most of them are immigrants from all over the world, but after all, most of them are Han Chinese. After more than ten generations of integration, Guangdong's unique culture and characteristics have been formed. In general, Cantonese people have a more cowardly character. belongs to the kind of introverted and introverted, and on the surface it is very powerful, but most of them are cowardly when they really start. Of course, it can't be generalized, and there are also high-roller knights appearing, and the above is just a major phenomenon.

Guangxi is different, where there are many ethnic minorities and many ethnic groups are mixed. There are constant disputes between the villages, and there is no discussion, so they go to war directly. Guangxi people have a bold temperament. Fierce as fire, most of them are bloodthirsty heroes. The long-term civil war created their more belligerent character and strong combat effectiveness, so when the Han people wanted to rule Guangxi, it caused a rebellion from the early Ming Dynasty to the present.

Friction continues. The Guangxi side finally exploded in the savings. During the Jingtai period, Wei Chaowei and Qin Wanxian held high the banner, and the vigorous Gutian peasant uprising kicked off. A spark can start a prairie fire, and for a while, the people of Guangxi rose up and joined the ranks of this group of "righteous troops". Although there are a large number of people and even battles, they are still almost against the imperial court, but they are just from orthodoxy to Jingtai. From Jingtai to Tianshun, there has been a war around the Thirteen Ming Dynasty. Where is there an air traffic control for this group of disorderly people. Therefore, the rebel army in Guangxi became more and more powerful, and by the time the imperial court freed up its hands to fight back, the rebels had already grown bigger, and they also put on a posture of fighting against the imperial court.

Naturally, the imperial court could not let them occupy Guangxi, and all parties in Guangxi were staggered, and the imperial court took advantage of the characteristics of the rebel army not helping each other to break them separately. The attack method is also very traditional, but it is easy to use, it is to gather elites to break through the backbone, break up the enemy, and then disperse the rebels reasonably. The Great Tengxia rebels were defeated, and the giant vines where the sacred objects hung in the two gorges were also cut off, and the Great Tengxia became the Broken Teng Gorge from then on.

The Gutian rebels were quite strong, but they made a mistake and did not support the other rebels, but instead sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight and the fisherman profited. He may not be able to beat the imperial court, not to mention that the imperial court has now cleaned up the others and turned around to concentrate on dealing with the Gutian rebels. In October of the fifth year of Hongzhi, the imperial court gathered more than 47,000 people and launched an attack on the Gutian rebels.

The commander-in-chief didn't know what was wrong with Lu Dao's brain, and he actually committed a taboo and led the troops in, but the Gutian rebels who were ambushed on both sides were killed and returned, and many commanders died here.

When the soldiers and horses of the imperial court wanted to reassemble and force towards Gutian, there was a problem within the court, and the nine generals among the two nine capable ministers, that is, the nine masters, became brothers, and later the emperor was not worried about the military power in the hands of the nine people, so he pressed the idea of dealing with the Gutian rebels and concentrated on separating the four. King Jing Zhu Jianxiao was stabbed to death, the ninth master Wang Mingshao, the fifth master Wang Zhenzi, the seventh master Yang Dengyun, etc., all became wanted criminals in the imperial court, and they could only wander the rivers and lakes. Only Guo Liang's ending was good, although he was given poisoned wine, but the title of the family was preserved.

To Guo Liang's son Guo Xun, not only inherited the Marquis of Wuding, but also held the military power, and at the beginning of Jiajing, he also held the power of the forbidden army, and occupied the limelight in the great ceremonial event, and was the emperor's descendant.

In short, because of all kinds of things, the Gutian rebels spent many years peacefully, Zhu Houzhao did not march in a big way during the Zhengde period, for the Guangxi rebels, although they rebelled against the imperial court, the crime should be the nine clans, but after all, they only killed the officials and did not kill the people after they entered the city, hateful but not hateful. Relatively speaking, the Tartars are animal behaviors, burning, killing, and plundering are all evil, so Zhu Houzhao attaches more importance to the north than to the south, and the south only resists and contains, and does not allocate a large number of troops to levy.

After many years, the Gutian rebels are getting more and more powerful, and if they are not contained now, they are afraid that they will establish an independent regime if they enter the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty. When the time comes, not to mention the loss of the country's majesty, all localities will certainly take the opportunity to rebel, and the war will spread throughout the country, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

However, in Lu Bing's view, although the current Gutian rebels are very strong in combat and have strict military discipline, they are like a plate of scattered sand, which is due to the fact that they have no real leader. The foundation of the Gutian rebels was left by Wei Chaowei and Qin Wanxian, but now there are more than two leaders. In general, there are so many people, Wei Yinbao, the son of Wei Chaowei, the ancestor of the Gutian rebels, Wang Zhenhu, Wei Chaofeng, Lin Yinhan and several others.

They each have their own strength, and there are some contradictions on weekdays, but they even have the truth that if they are prosperous, they will die, so no matter how hard they fight on weekdays, once the court comes to encircle and suppress. They will all unite to resist together, and if anyone passively slacks off their work and grinds foreign workers and does not make efforts, everyone will be punished after retiring from the officers and soldiers.

Now Lu Bing is here. Everyone huddled together to fight against the imperial army, and the Gutian rebels reached an unprecedented peak.

However, Lu Bing knows a truth, things must be reversed, and after prosperity, there is decline. This is a matter of cause and effect, not superstition. The reason for the heyday is that several rebels have come together. The reason for the decline is because the dragons have no leader. This group of reckless, each considers itself a rebel legitimate, though now unanimous to the outside world. That's also because the discord meter is not used to the extreme, there is no person who can't be tempted, it's just that the incentive is not big enough.

After listening to these materials, Lu Bing thought about it. But he didn't say it. Instead, he glanced at the talented people who were already sitting down, and the plan in their hearts was about to burst out of their mouths like a continuous river, and after a moment of silence, he said lightly: "Who has a plan?" ”

"Me."

"My subordinates have a plan."

"Something has a saying."

Lu Bing smiled, the smile was very insidious, we have a musket team and elite soldiers who play hard, and we play mud legs, I can be regarded as half a bastard, if it is a strategy. Won't my gang of talented thinkers play you old peasants to death? Gutian rebels? A wisp of grass mustard!

—————————————————————————————————————

In the capital, Lu Song walked out of the palace gate. sighed, shook the brocade unicorn robe on his body, tightened the jade belt around his waist, and looked at Lu Song, who was leaning on the sedan chair and had a gloomy face, couldn't help but smile. What is the relationship between Duan Qingfeng and his son, Lu Song doesn't know what to do, and he doesn't accept the male style Lu Song but doesn't reject it, but from the perspective of personality, Lu Song still likes Duan Qingfeng very much.

Duan Qingfeng is very smart, and he doesn't need to say anything on weekdays, he knows what Lu Dao means with a single look. There are few words, things are in place, martial arts are extremely high, and they are good-looking, and there is a faint sense of bohemianism and detachment from mortals, and it is difficult for this kind of person not to be liked.

Duan Qingfeng didn't speak, straightened up and opened the sedan curtain for Lu Song, his movements were not submissive, and he looked casual and natural. According to his position, Duan Qingfeng is a complete white ding, even if he is not an ordinary person, but a monk. Even if Duan Qingfeng did it under Lu Bing, it was to help Lu Bing, not to take refuge in Lu Bing, which Lu Song knew very well and understood Duan Qingfeng's work ability.

Lu Song and Lu Bing's father and son generally do not mix with each other's affairs, so when one of the two fathers and sons has a problem, the other party can be fully involved and preserved, which is well-known in the officialdom. In this regard, everyone has mixed opinions, some say that this is an extremely smart decision, some say that it is a fair and honest performance, and some say that the two fathers and sons lack human touch.

In general, for Duan Qingfeng, Lu Song is not the governor of the Governor's Mansion who is the assistant Jinyiwei, he is just Lu Bing's father. Lu Song is used to seeing flatterers, and he is also used to seeing people who slap horses, so when he sees a real man like Duan Qingfeng, who is neither humble nor arrogant, Lu Song likes it in his heart.

Lu Song didn't get on the sedan chair, and said to Duan Qingfeng: "Walk with me, right?" ”

Duan Qingfeng nodded, usually he is the best listener, only in one case, Duan Qingfeng will laugh and talk freely, that is when Lu Bing is there.

Lu Song said: "Now that the country's prosperity is imminent, Bing'er will go out to level the four razes, and no matter whether it is hard or not, this is what he should do, but these ministers in the DPRK and China are too worry-free." ”

Duan Qingfeng looked at Lu Song in a daze, and Lu Song asked, "Do you know Xia Yan?" ”

Duan Qingfeng nodded and replied, "Uncle, are you talking about the person who used to be in the pedestrian division, and later transferred to the military department, and was promoted by Wenfu after a few words?" ”

"Exactly, although this person has some talent, some are too ignorant." Lu Song said, Duan Qingfeng was very interested after hearing this, in fact, he knew much more about Xia Yan than Lu Song knew about Lu Dao. Duan Qingfeng is so smart that he basically can't forget it, and he remembers the information of most people in the officialdom, but he doesn't like to show off, so he can let Lu Song know who he is talking about just now.

For Xia Yan, Duan Qingfeng's impression is still good, at least he is still honest, of course, as a Beijing official, there are too few places where he can be corrupted in his current position, and he has a low official position and a poor foundation, as long as he wants to be corrupt and take bribes, once he is reported, he will step down immediately. So no matter whether Xia Yan is honest or honest, or fake and serious, in short, he is a smart person.

Lu Song did not like to participate in political struggles on weekdays, never formed gangs in the court, and only followed the footsteps of Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, which won the trust of the emperor, and at the same time, as Lu Bing's father, his son also added a lot of points to him.

Although on the surface, it seems that Lu Song ascended to the throne by virtue of the identity of the old man of Xingwangfu, and in recent years, there have been more fathers and sons who have ascended to the throne, but in fact, Lu Song is an old and cunning political fox, and even a catfish is slippery, which makes people unable to grasp the edge. Therefore, from his mouth, he could hear the evaluation of Xia Yan, which was different from Duan Qingfeng's opinion, Duan Qingfeng was very curious and wanted to hear it. (To be continued......)
