On the first day of the sixth month, the emperor issued an edict.
He was given the post of regent and the post of Guan Bai of Yuchai Shouren.
Give the surname "Toyotomi" to Shixu and Morihito "Toyotomi".
Not many people know that this edict was drafted by Yushiba Shouren, but it was stamped with the seal of Emperor Suzaku.
Since then, the entire country of Fuso has fallen into the hands of Toyotomi Shixu, the head of the Toyotomi family.
The second day of June.
Toyotomi Shixu ordered that the 47 orders in the country were all headed by Ming Shu students and guarded by the generals of the expeditionary force.
At the same time, Toyotomi began to reorganize the army.
……。
Liu Zhiyuan has a good wife.
After Liu Zhiyuan ascended the throne, he returned home, and in order to encircle the Conglong soldiers, he wanted to distribute money and rewards to the people to the combat soldiers.
Empress Li advised: "Your Majesty relied on Hedong to create a great cause, but did not bring favors and benefits to the people, so we must first seize the capital they borrowed to earn interest, this is probably not the original intention of the new emperor to save the people from suffering, right?" Now it is time to take out all the money in the palace to comfort the soldiers, although the money is not too much, but people will not complain. ”
Liu Zhiyuan said: "Yes! ”
The people were immediately exempted from the discussion of apportionment, and all the savings of the inner government were taken out to reward the soldiers, and the officials and the people were very happy when they heard this.
Although Liu Zhiyuan took advantage of the chaos to claim the emperor, after all, the foundation was unstable, except for the foundation of the Hedong Army and a few small feudal towns, not many people were willing to take refuge.
can only win the hearts of the people with a large number of officials, and they are obviously a little powerless on how to deal with the chaos after the death of Jin.
But there is one point, Liu Zhiyuan did set up a beacon in this chaos, so that the soldiers and civilians of the Jin Kingdom, who were as chaotic as headless flies, had a clear direction. That is to drive the Khitans out of Lu.
Liao Emperor Yelu Deguang's life in Daliang was really difficult, since he collected the people to reward the soldiers and connived at the soldiers to "fight the grass valley". The people everywhere rose up to resist and put out this head. The other end got up again, and every day was busy trying to quell the chaos.
"Grass Valley" originally referred to the Khitan cavalry looking for forage for horses, but now it has become synonymous with robbing the people's property, not only robbing the property, but also killing people. When the Khitan cavalry saw the adult man, he hacked him to death, and the old, weak, sick and disabled were buried alive on the spot, and the people of the Central Plains suffered countless casualties. The ambition of the wolf son is really different. No matter how stupid and incompetent Shi Chonggui is, he can't do such an evil thing.
At the beginning, in order to fight against the Khitan, the Jin State set up a village soldier, known as the "Tianwei Army", and taught and practiced for more than a year, but the villagers were still not familiar with military warfare, and the result could not be used, so they ordered to disband, and only let every seven households pay 10,000. All the original weapons and armor were handed over to the government.
The rogue children of the township soldiers are no longer willing to do farm work, and the thieves who occupy the mountains and forests have increased since then.
Arrived at the Khitan and entered Daliang City. indulge the Hu cavalry to "fight grass valleys" everywhere; Most of them ordered their children and cronies to be envoys and assassins, but these people were not well versed in political affairs, and the cunning people among the Chinese were often attached to them. Teach them to be unscrupulous and extort money. So that the common people can't survive.
So they gathered together on the spot and became thieves, and there were tens of thousands of them. There were no less than 800 thousands, and they captured prefectures and counties, killing and plundering officials and people.
Liang Hui, the leader of the Fuyang thieves, gathered hundreds of people and asked Liu Zhiyuan to ask for help, and Liu Zhiyuan agreed.
Li Liao, the assassin of Cizhou, presented a secret report to Liu Zhiyuan, and Liu Zhiyuan ordered Liang Hui to attack Xiangzhou.
Liang Hui learned that Gao Tangying had not yet arrived, and Xiangzhou had accumulated a lot of weapons and had no garrison troops.
The next night, he sent his men to climb over the city wall and open the city gate in the middle of the city, and the crowd poured in, killing hundreds of Khitans, and the Khitan guards broke through and fled.
Liang Hui occupied Xiangzhou, claimed to be the queen, and stated the battle to Liu Zhiyuan.
Emperor Yelu Deguang of Liao gave Zhao Hui an edict and ordered him to stay behind for Baoyi. Zhao Hui killed the Khitan envoy, burned the edict, and sent the envoy Zhao Ju, a native of Hejian, to Jinyang with a seal as the envoy. The Khitan general Gao Mohan attacked Zhao Hui and failed to conquer it.
Liu Zhiyuan was very happy to see Zhao Ju and said: "You came to submit to me with a throat, and it is not difficult for the world to be calmed!" ”
Zhao Ju persuaded Liu Zhiyuan to lead his troops south as soon as possible to meet the hopes of the people of the world. Liu Zhiyuan agreed.
Zhenning Jie Du made the evil law Lang Lang five, cruel and tyrannical by nature, and the people of Lanzhou had enough of his suffering.
The leader of the thieves, Wang Qiong, led his more than 1,000 men to attack and occupy the southern city at night, and then crossed the pontoon bridge to the north, and plundered the evil law Lang Wu.
When Yelu Deguang heard the news, he was frightened in his heart, and began to send Li Shouzhen, the envoy of Tianping Jiedu, and Du Chongwei, the envoy of Tianxiong Jiedu, to return to the original town, and since then he has no intention of staying in Henan for a long time.
Yelu Deguang dispatched troops to rescue Shanzhou; Wang Qiong retreated to the suburbs of Lanzhou City and sent his younger brother Wang Chao to Liu Zhiyuan for help. Liu Zhiyuan heard about it but did not send troops to rescue, but only gave Wang Chao a rich reward and sent him back to Lanzhou.
As a result, Wang Qiong was defeated and killed by the Khitan.
Many people spontaneously rose up to resist the Khitan rule, and for a time, the Central Plains was full of wolf smoke.
Yerod Guang's heart has already sprouted a retreat. Knowing that Liu Zhiyuan himself was called the emperor, in order to prevent Liu Zhiyuan from attacking, he sent Geng Chongmei as the envoy of the Zhaoyi Festival, Gao Tangying as the envoy of the Zhangde Festival, and Cui Tingxun as the envoy of the Heyang Festival, so as to control and hold the fortresses in various places.
At the same time, he began to escort the money from the Daliang treasury back to the Khitan together with the income from the robbery of the people from all over the country.
When the money and fortune were almost over, it was time to enjoy it, Yelu Deguang said to these Jin ministers who were prostrating themselves at their feet and licking his toes: "I have been away from Shangjing for too long, and I want to talk about the Empress Dowager and need to go back to visit him." ”
But there were a few ignorant flatterers: "Your Majesty wants to tell the Empress Dowager and bring her old man to the beam, why bother Your Majesty to go back and forth in the afternoon?" ”
Straight to the point where Jerod rolled his eyes in anger.
In late May, Yelu Deguang finally made up his mind to return north, this Central Plains is really not the Khitan people, every day by the rebels of the day, I don't want to live a day, so he appointed his cousin Xiao Han to stay in Bianliang, with the valuable and eunuchs and palace maids, embarked on a journey back north to Beijing.
Before leaving, Yerod Guang became the German army festival envoy Dewey, as the Taifu, and added the same level of affairs. came to confront Liu Zhiyuan.
This Dewey, formerly known as Du Chongwei, was cut off the word "heavy" in order to avoid the importance of stones, and became Dewey.
He is Shi Jingtang's brother-in-law and Shi Chonggui's uncle.
Shi Chonggui trusted him in every way, but in the end he was put on the table by Dewey.
Dewey also trusted Yerod Light in every way, but in the end, he was put on the side by Yerod Light.
The yellow robe that Yerod gave him has always been treasured by him, but the position of the emperor is out of reach. (To be continued......)
