Chapter 328: Mutiny (3)
I don't know what means Lu Dao Liqiong used, and he actually messed with Zhu Zhao, the clerk under Lu Zhi's account. From then on, the excerpts sent by Lu Zhi to the imperial court were all intercepted.
Li Qiong found that in these excerpts, Lu Zhi told the court all the negative things in the army. For example, the personal life of Wang Shisheng, the commander under Li Qiong, and the corruption and fraud of another member of Li Qiong's command, Jin Sai, and so on.
It is not surprising that a military region of Nuoda has these things, after all, there is only one Yuejia army like Qingshuitan.
Therefore, after seeing these excerpts, although Li Qiong was very angry, she still held back her anger and remained silent. He wanted to know what Lu Dao Lu Zhi wanted to do?
Finally, Li Qiong intercepted the last letter sent by Lu Zhi, and it was also the most powerful letter.
The letter was written by Lü Zhi to the Governor's Mansion of Lin'an, and it was clearly written that the Huaixi Army was already incorrigible, and Lü Zhi was just trying to delay time, suggesting that the imperial court act quickly and send special personnel to "divide its troops".
Li Qiong and the others fell into the ice cellar, and their whole bodies were cold.
This is a more vicious trick than co-optation.
Inclusion is to maintain a complete establishment, and the officers and soldiers of the original contingent remain unchanged, but a big leader is changed.
This is the most important part of the army, after all, on the battlefield is to rely on each other's lives.
When you go into battle, you don't leave the father and son soldiers, and you have to be brothers when you fight tigers.
The meaning of this statement is that it takes old brothers who have been mixed together for many years to be able to be relied upon and to continue to do what they like to do.
However, "dividing the troops" is different, which means that the original structure is broken up and the soldiers and generals are divided into other units. It's equivalent to the previous number is gone. All in vain.
The division of troops may have no effect on the most basic soldiers. But for those military attachés who have positions and real power, this is tantamount to directly asking for their life.
What's more, it's the high-flying Li Qiong and his siblings!
Li Qiong and the others were shocked and suspicious, and immediately sent someone to Lin'an to inquire about the news.
As a result, the spies turned back halfway and said: "The people who divided the troops have already walked on the road, and Zhang Jun, Yang Yizhong, Liu Qi and other three people have divided Huaixi and will soon cross the river." ”
Li Qiong: They are completely desperate.
I can't imagine that I blindly tolerated and obeyed everything, and in the end ended up like this.
These three people are the strongest lineup that Zhang Jun can come up with, and none of them can be fought against by Li Qiong and others. Do you still need to doubt it? It's true, Lu Zhi, a sinister and pickled thief, if he hadn't pretended to be calm and overperformed, the entire Huaixi Army wouldn't even know how to die!
Where there is oppression, there is resistance!
This famous sentence by Engels is just as good as it goes back to the Southern Song Dynasty.
In a fit of rage, Li Qiong led his subordinates Jin Sai, Wang Shisheng, Wang Shizhong, and others to Lü Zhi's tent, and his personal guards also surrounded Lü Zhi's big tent.
After Li Qiong saw Lu Zhi, without saying a word, he took out the complaint document he intercepted from Lu Zhi to the imperial court. Then he asked in a loud voice: "What is the crime of the soldiers, that they are evil in the court as they have heard?" ”
Based on Li Qiong's words alone. It can be determined that Lu Zhi sent a complaint to the imperial court. Most of them are far-fetched words. Otherwise, Li Qiong would not have said it so reasonably.
Lu Zhi saw that Li Qiong came prepared, and took so many documents that he sent out to seek revenge. He was taken aback and prepared to flee. But where can he flee?
Li Qiong rushed forward and grabbed Lu Zhi. A guard beside Lu Zhi saw that Lu Zhi was arrested and hurriedly drew a knife to save him. He raised the knife in his hand and slashed at Li Qiong's back.
This knife is not Li Qiong, but Li Qiong's most lingering attachment to the Southern Song Dynasty. No matter when, where, or whoever, rebellion can only be the last choice.
Li Qiong was wearing armor and did not hurt his muscles, he looked back, and then shouted: "How dare you!" Then he turned around, grabbed his weapon twice, and killed the guard on the steps.
At this time, the big tent was already full of swords and swords.
Lü Zhi was arrested, and Qiao Zhongfu and his sons Qiao Sigu, the commander of the Wu Dynasty, Liu Yong and Hengyou, were killed, and Liu Guangshi, the Marquis of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, was captured.
Lu Zhi and his guards were served by Li Qiong and them.
The sword soldiers have moved, and Li Qiong has no possibility of turning back. He didn't stop doing anything, and took more than 40,000 Huaixi troops, and more than 100,000 family members and local people to move north, ready to take refuge in Liu Yu
In later generations, there is a saying that Li Qiong and the pseudo-Qi have already secretly communicated with each other.
Here, I want to help Li Qiong make a slight defense.
In fact, in this military rectification of the Huaixi Army, Li Qiong had already done his best: whether it was Wang De or Lu Zhi, his initial attitude was to cooperate as much as possible.
If it weren't for Zhang Jun's random arrangement, if it weren't for Wang De's unkindness, if it weren't for Lu Zhi's preconceived ideas, chasing after the wind and shadows, etc., Li Qiong would not necessarily go to the last step.
"Ordinary things are too careless, and today I beg to make a bed of gold coverings."
The fact that a dignified figure who is a deputy commander and a bigwig in the army can actually say such a groveling speech is enough to prove Li Qiong's sincerity.
It's a pity that Li Qiong's sincerity has not received anything in return.
Alas, everything was late, but it was a pity that Li Qiong was not weaker than Wang De's fierce general
Lu Zhi was confused by Li Qiong, he knew what mutiny was, but practicing it was another matter.
Lu Zhi was tied to a horse by Li Qiong, and when he was about to leave Huainan West Road and arrived at a place called the East Building, he suddenly realized that Li Qiong had planned it-
Cast the pseudo-Qi, this is a mutiny!
Courage suddenly returned to Lu Zhi's heart.
Although he was tied to a horse, Lu Zhi still scolded loudly, reprimanded Li Qiong, and inspired the whole army.
Lu Zhi wants everyone to distinguish what is a hero and what is a traitor, and to defect to Liu Yu is to be a traitor under a traitor, who will be infamous for thousands of years, regret it, and so on.
Mao Taizu taught us. Our revolution is not a dinner party.
And so. Li Qiong was furious. The knife fell in his hand and killed Lu Zhi on the horse.
Not only that, Li Qiong did not stop doing anything, commanded the army to plunder in Luzhou, and also took away the local magistrate Zhao Kangzhi and Zhao Buqun, the governor of Luzhou.
Originally, there were nearly 40,000 soldiers in the Southern Song Dynasty's left guard army, and more than 60,000 dependents and people took refuge in the pseudo-Qi, which was known as the "Huaixi Change" in history. The incident occurred on August 8 in the seventh year of Shaoxing.
On this day, the yellow calendar reads: Everything is not appropriate
When the news of the Huaixi Army reached Lin'an, the court was shocked.
The Huaixi Military Region, one of the five major military regions, was suddenly completely empty, and it turned out to be a mutiny of the whole army. This is something that has never happened in the Song Dynasty, and even if you search through Chinese history, you can't find it a few times.
Emperor Gaozong was in a hurry, and he was so remorseful that he wanted to slap Zhang Jun to death.
This is his family background, it is what he lives in, is it easy for him, he fled to Jiangnan in a panic, was chased and killed by the Jurchens for thousands of miles, and was almost buried in the sea. All because there are no soldiers.
In these years, he has shrunk food and clothing, lived in a small house, endured humiliation and loaded his grandson. It took a lot of effort to save up a few armies, and they lost one-fifth of them at once.
Considering that it was a defection to the enemy, the combined losses inside and outside were doubled, which was unacceptable in any case.
At this time, Emperor Gaozong quickly sent someone to send an order to Yue Fei as quickly as possible, asking him to write a letter to Li Qiong. As long as you are willing to turn back, everything will be treated as if nothing has happened, and after returning to China, you will be promoted, rewarded with money, and give whatever you want.
Why would the imperial court think of asking Yue Fei to write a letter to Li Qiong?
There is such a record in the "History of Jin": Li Qiong, the word national treasure, is a native of Linzhang, Xiangzhou. Supplemental state students. Song Xuanhe, thieves rose, Qiong Nai learned to stab and pull strong, try bow horses, subordinate to Zongze's army, stationed in Cizhou. Before he returned, he gathered 700 righteous troops, reverted to Ze, and Ze signed Qiong as the commander of 700 people.
It turned out that Li Qiong was one of the many green forest heroes gathered by the old handsome Zong Ze in Bianliang City.
Looking back at the history of the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zong Ze issued a convocation order in Bianliang City, known as a million-strong army, preparing to counterattack the Jin State.
It's a pity that Zong Ze was not liked by Emperor Gaozong, and Huang Qianshan, the prime minister at the time, fanned the flames next to him, and did not let Zong Ze's eldest son Zong Ying take over, but instead sent Du Chong, a stupid donkey, to Bianliang City, Kaifeng Mansion, and destroyed the anti-gold foundation that Zong Ze had built up with several hard efforts.
In fact, the group of green forest heroes who were originally summoned by Zong Ze, even if they were dispersed by Du Chong, were still active in the north and south of the river, which greatly affected the subsequent situation.
At that time, the heroes around Zong Ze included Li Cheng, Zhang Yong, Cao Cheng, and Li Qiong, the protagonist of this incident, and so on, of course, including Yue Fei, who was most valued and appreciated by Zong Ze.
Because there was such a relationship, Emperor Gaozong hoped that Yue Fei could stand up for the imperial court at this critical juncture and persuade Li Qiong to turn back.
Gaozong told Yue Fei that as long as Li Qiong was willing to return, the imperial court would not only not blame the past, but would also reuse it.
Alas, if you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place.
If Yue Fei had been allowed to take over the Huaixi Army from the beginning, how could the current situation have occurred.
Emperor Gaozong not only let Yue Fei make a move, but also issued an edict to Liu Guangshi, asking Liu Guangshi to make an emergency comeback. probably wanted to appease Li Qiong through the return of the old handsome.
Seek medical attention in a hurry. It is probably the mood of Emperor Gaozong at this moment.
However, Liu Guangshi could not reach Li Qiong's army at all, because at this time the Huaixi army had already entered the territory of the puppet Qi. However, Yue Fei's letter of appeasement to Li Qiong successfully reached Li Qiong's hands.
Whether it is from the seniority in the rivers and lakes, the position title in the officialdom, or the prestige that Yue Jiajun has won in the past few years, Li Qiong has to reply to Yue Fei's letter.
It's just that Li Qiong's reply was quite interesting, so Yue Fei had nothing to say.
In the letter, Li Qiong wrote: "... Yesterday in Hefei, I have heard that the political affairs of Daqi are repaired, the law is obeyed to the public, and the people are safe. Now that I am here, I have seen it for myself, and I have devoted myself to serving my life, and I have ...... worthy of it."
After getting this letter, Yue Fei already understood that Li Qiong had no possibility of returning.
It is a pity that this veteran elite force, which could have been used to regain lost territory and fight against the Jin soldiers, has become part of the Jinqi coalition army...... (To be continued......)
