Jinling City, Wu Guogong Mansion, quiet room.

The guest of honor sat opposite each other, and Chen met to accompany him. several red candles, with red sleeves to add tea; The cool breeze brings the rain, and the sound of the rain is heard. The atmosphere on the surface seems to be peaceful and quiet, but between the guests of honor, one is a hero who is famous in the south of the Yangtze River, and the other is a debater who is known for his good debate.

If it is described as loose on the outside and tight on the inside, then at the same time in Hanyang Province, South Goryeo, inside and outside the city, it was just the opposite, tight on the outside and loose on the inside.

Hanyang Mansion is near the sea, with plenty of moisture, and the night rain is heavier than that of Jinling. As the middle of the night passed, it became heavier and heavier, and it gradually became heavy from the initial drizzle. As if sifting down with a sieve, the rain lines form a straight path and fall densely, connecting the night sky with the earth. Far and near, there was an endless stream of rain everywhere, falling down from the eaves, from the walls, from the pavilions, from the treetops, and rolling out of the courtyards, merging into rapids in the streets.

Hanyang Province is one of the largest cities in South Goryeo, and the drainage system is not bad, but even so, some of the more low-lying streets have a deep layer of water on them. A person walks through it, and can soak his feet and neck. Because of the deep night, the lights in the city are sparse, lack of reflection, and the water is black and oppressive.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps.

It's not one person walking, but it seems like there are a lot of people, and they're all running.

A wild cat was crouching under the eaves of the street, cleverly pricking up its ears and looking in the direction from which the sound came. The night was dark and the rain was falling. At the corner of the street, a flash of fire flickered in the rain, reflecting on the opposite wall, and the fire grew brighter and brighter as the footsteps approached.

The wild cat, as if sensing the danger, shrugged up, as if threatening, and cried lowly, "Meow." ”

A torch appeared around the corner. Immediately after, two, three, five, six, and a patch of torches leaped into its eyes. The fire shone brightly, passing through the rain curtain, and the flames jumped in its eyes; And from its eyes came a hundred heavily armed, helmet-clad soldiers.

In the ranks of the soldiers, there was a low shout from time to time: "Hurry up! Keep up. ”

"Don't be left behind. Turn two more streets and you'll be there. ”

"......, shit, where did the wildcats come from?"

The frightened wild cat pulled out its legs and fled, and in the rain and in the light of the fire, pulled out a black shadow, and quickly ran up the wall and slipped away. The startled soldier scolded and scolded, and subconsciously looked up, in the eastern night sky, in the gap of thick cumulonimbus clouds, the starlight was still shining.

It seems to peek curiously and interestingly, and it seems to stare indifferently and mercilessly.

"See cats on the street. It's raining, and the stars are out, the weather on this dog day is really weird. ”

At the front of the line, two people took the lead. One wears a civilian's uniform, and the other wears a black robe with arrow sleeves. The person in the civilian uniform is the spy of the General Administration, and the person wearing the arrow sleeves is Ju Sheng.

He was ordered by Yao Haogu to rush to the outside of the city to transfer 500 troops and horses, explain the tasks one by one, leave 300 people to be responsible for the capture outside the city, and bring 200 people into the city. Because the "beauty rebels" gathered in the city were not all in one place, the two hundred people brought into the city were divided into several teams, and the one he brought now was the largest in number and the heaviest task he would face.

The target is directly to the west of the city, Yujie, Liangshan Junfu.

Liangshan Jun is a former Goryeo royal family, and in terms of seniority, the former Goryeo King Wang Qi has to call him uncle. It's not too young, fifty or sixty years old. On the day when the Haidong army entered the city, Liangshan Jun was very "aware of current affairs", did not make senseless resistance, and took the lead in surrendering, so among the many Goryeo clans, he was one of the few people who could still keep his original home and original status.

Logically speaking, since he had surrendered, Deng She did not embarrass him, and treated him well, and there were rewards from time to time, so he should not be involved in this rebellion. However, he has two sons, both of whom have long been secretly resentful. It is true that he is old, but it is a pity that his sons are still in the prime of life.

Just imagine, his sons were originally a clan, superior to others, and could be powerful and prosperous at will, but now the country is ruined, especially since Yao Haogu ruled Hanyang, he has taken all kinds of measures to restrain the beauty and the strong and support the Han people, seeing that the power of the Han people is as strong as a day, maybe not ten or five years, this Hanyang Mansion may no longer have their part to speak, and even maybe, an ordinary former subordinate can climb on their heads, such a huge contrast, how can they bear it?

"For the sake of children and grandchildren, I have to rebel!"

His two sons, one named Wang Li and the other named Wang Zhen. Not long ago, I met with an old friend from Dadu.

This friend of theirs brought a letter from Qi and Chahan. In the letter, Qi and Chahan promised that if they were willing to start an uprising in Hanyang Prefecture, then Chakhan Timur would contain Deng She's main force in Shandong; And the Qi clan will also mobilize the Liaoxi Shijiabao and Shenyang Naha to contain the Haidong garrisons in Liaodong and Korea. Then the inside and outside should be united, and strive to restore the Goryeo Dynasty in one fell swoop. When things are done, the one who has great merit is king.

This promise, or what it might call it, would not be agreed upon by anyone with a modicum of intelligence.

Why? Chahan may be able to contain the Yidu army, but it is a fool's dream to expect Shijiabao and Naha to contain Liaodong and the Korean army. However, whether it is "an idiot talking about dreams" or "Li Ling Zhi is faint", Wang Li and Wang Zhen were already full of resentment, and they wanted to change the status quo all day long, but they couldn't do anything, and suddenly, Qi and Chahan took the initiative to send support, one is Meng Yuan's mother of the country, and the other is the strongest man in the army today.

Whenever a dynasty perishes, there will be old and young. What's more, Goryeo was destroyed by the Han people. After some contact and conspiracy, the two brothers really found a lot of "like-minded" people. It was agreed that they would assemble in Hanyang Province at the end of April and officially set up a flag in early May.

The specific plan is as follows:

Because most of the people involved in the rebellion were the royal family and the nobles, there were many servants in their families, and there were no less than two or three hundred servants in the Liangshan Monarch's Mansion alone. With the addition of others, there are more than 1,000 people in Hanyang Province alone. In addition, many of the garrisons of Hanyang Province are original surrender troops, and they can also be contacted and jointly act with them.

Wang Li is full of confidence: "If you are prepared to fight unprepared, the chance of winning is more than eighty percent!" ”

"On the day of the event, I will first use my father's name to invite Yao Haogu and others to the banquet. At the feast, he swept them all down. When the time comes, there will be no leader in the city, and our side will be well prepared, and the odds of victory will be more than eighty percent! Ten out of ten percent of them are there. "Wang Zhen is more confident than Wang Li.

"After taking Hanyang Mansion, our side must attack continuously, and we can't give Han'er a chance to react. Therefore, it is not necessary for all the people involved in this matter to come to Hanyang, and select some of them to stay in the city, and when they receive the signal that the Hanyang uprising has been successful, they will immediately start up in each city as well. ”

"It's called the blossoming in the center, and the smoke everywhere! Han'er is using troops in Jining, the road is far away, isolated from the sea, and he must be caught off guard. The Han children of North Korea and Liaodong have Shijiabao and Naha to contain us. By the time Deng thief receives the military report, it must be too late! ”

"In this incident, I plan to use the name of 'Cloth and Belt Edict'. I want to be in the Li Dynasty for hundreds of years, and I have won the hearts of the people among the people, and the banner is standing, and the people of Haidong must be harmonious and follow. ”

"There's one of ours in every city! There are also our old pawns in the garrison of every city! The people all think of our Li Dynasty. In this way, there will be no troops, there will be no strong city, and there will be followers if you don't recruit. It's done! ”

Like what they say, it's really like a backhand can change the sky.

A group of pampered and well-pampered children do not know military law and battle formations, and they talk exaggeratedly and self-righteously, and the standard "talk on paper". No, before the incident started, it was discovered because the incident was not secret. Even the Secretary for Justice has investigated clearly, and Ju Sheng has also brought people to the door, and they are still at a loss.

In the night rain, the soldiers trampled the water.

Crossing two streets, Ju Sheng led everyone to the Royal Street. The hasty orders were passed down one by one, and one hundred and ten people either surrounded the street entrance or surrounded the Liangshan Jun's Mansion. The preparations have been decided, and hundreds of households came over to ask for instructions: "All teams are in place." Excuse me, my lord, do you call a few times and order them to open the door; Or what's the matter? ”

The heavy rain fell, and Ju Sheng was drenched like a chicken in soup.

He pursed his lips, gritted his teeth and smiled, and said, "We didn't put out the fire when we came, but I expect that we have found it in the house." A few more doors? Isn't it a chance to give them a chance to resist? ......, pass me the order and hit the door! ”

Three or four soldiers took off the striking wood from the accompanying baggage cart, lifted it up, and slammed it against the door of the mansion with a heavy thud. After a hit, take a few steps back, and hit again. How can the gate be compared with the city wall? Within three or two hits, it collapsed. And there was a great deal of water on the ground, and it was splashed on the faces of the people. Ju Sheng was also splashed on his face because he was close, he didn't care, wiped his face, and was waiting for the next order.

The fire in the house was lit, and some people shouted angrily: "Who is coming?" This is Liangshan Junfu! Do you want to make trouble? Don't get back now! ”

"Making a fuss? Okay, take a bite back! Ju Sheng said with a sneer, motioning for the hundred households to reply. The hundred households said loudly: "On the order of Yao Pingzhang, search for the rebellious party!" "I don't talk nonsense with the house anymore, anyway, the door is slammed open, and with an order, dozens of wolf-like soldiers rushed into the house.

There was chaos in the house.

Wang Li and Wang Zhen had already fallen asleep, and when they heard the news, they got up, and in a hurry, they didn't have time to fight. Yao Haogu has a very strict control over the ordnance, and they have only smuggled some swords, bows and arrows into the city with great difficulty, where will they be the opponents of the armored people? Before entering the city, when Ju Sheng preached the order, he had already made it clear to the soldiers: "After the action, no matter men or women, old or young, as long as they dare to resist, they will be killed!" ”

This night, the blood of Liangshan Junfu flowed like a river.

The most pitiful thing is Liangshan Jun, what Wang Li and Wang Zhen are doing, as a father and as the head of the family, he actually knows it for a long time. But he couldn't control his sons. There was once a conversation between father and son, and Liang Shanjun couldn't convince his son, and finally said desolately: "Those who destroy my clan will be the two of you." ”

And it came true.

Fires are everywhere, and although the rain is heavy, it will not be extinguished.

The screams, the cries, the screams, the clashing of weapons, the sound of smashing things, the sound of the wall collapsing, the shouts of the soldiers, and the sound of the soldiers fighting for each other, came and went for more than two hours, until the east day was bright and the night passed, and it slowly subsided.

Hundreds of households came out of the mansion and reported to Ju Sheng: "In the Liangshan Jun's mansion, there are a total of 432 men and women. Among them, there are 42 people who are not from the province. In the process of arrest, due to the stubborn resistance of some armed people, 324 people died, and now the remaining 98 living people have been concentrated in the main courtyard. Liangshan Jun, Wang Li, Wang Zhen, etc. and their families are among them, and there are still about 20 people left who are not from this province. I asked about it roughly, and most of these people were the sons of former Goryeo clans and nobles from other places. ”

"Are there any casualties?"

Baihu pursed his lips, showed a contemptuous smile, and said: "The disciples of the earth chicken and tile dogs, also want to make our brothers have casualties?" There was not one killed, but two wounded. One accidentally slipped on the mud floor and twisted his foot; One was knocked off a beam that had been burned down by the fire, and his arm was rubbed. It's all minor injuries and it doesn't matter. ”

Ju Sheng nodded, and walked into the mansion with his hands in his hands, to the main courtyard.

There were many kneeling people in the courtyard.

Most of the people are not neatly dressed, and there are many who only wear small clothes. The rain fell like a torrent of rain on them, and everyone was frightened and frightened, and their lips were blue. Ju Sheng saw that there were more than a dozen women in the crowd, all of them with messy sideburns, and I don't know if the soldiers did it on purpose, almost all of them were unclothed, especially a few younger and more beautiful, and they were almost naked.

Ju Sheng smiled and glanced at the hundred households meaningfully.

The hundred households blushed slightly and explained: "When these people were arrested, many of them were dragged off the bed. I didn't have time to wait for them to get dressed. So, some, some, it's a little bit 'out of sight'. "It seems that Deng She's officer training corps has achieved good results, and even these hundred households can speak idioms.

"These are chaotic parties, and they can be dealt with in any way. But if you're on the battlefield, brother, if your men are still like this, you're waiting to be beheaded! ”

"Yes, yes."

Military affairs are not Ju Sheng's duty, and after saying a few words, he put it down. He asked, "Which one is Liangshan-kun?" Who is Wang Li? Who is Wang Zhen? ”

The soldiers rudely dragged the three men out of the crowd and pushed them in front of Ju Sheng.

An old man, two middle-aged people in their forties. The old man's complexion was fine, and the two middle-aged men were as white as earth, almost unable to kneel, and almost collapsed to the ground.

"On the day when my king entered the city, Liangshan Jun had the merit of greeting him. Although it has been ascertained that this matter has nothing to do with you. But it is your two sons who committed the crime, and I am afraid that you will not be able to escape the responsibility of implication. Come on, help Liangshanjun up, and treat him well. Ju Sheng and Yan Yuese, and Liangshan Jun said, turned his eyes to look at Wang Li and Wang Zhen, looking at the frightened look of the two of them, as if the mud couldn't support the wall, his eyes showed pity and disdain, he shook his head, and only said lightly, "......, why bother?" ”

There was a word in his heart that he didn't say, and he also disdained to say it to Wang Li and Wang Zhen: "Goods like you are very different from the wisdom and martial arts of the lord, and you dare to make trouble." Bite off more than one can chew! ”

"How to send these people down now, please show me."

Yao Pingzhang was still waiting at the yamen and sent them to the provincial capital. Listen to Yao Pingzhang's fate. ”

Like a storm and clouds, in less than three hours, good news from all over the country was frequently reported, and the front foot was sent into the provincial capital after the back foot. In this battle, Yao Haogu mobilized 500 troops, captured more than 240 rebels, and killed nearly 600 on the spot. And when the noisy night was over, many of the people of the city were unaware of it.

In the following days, Fang Buzhen, who was in charge of the field, also sent military reports one after another, and the number of prisoners killed and captured in other cities was slightly the same as that of Hanyang Mansion.

The night passed, and the sky was bright.

The rain finally extinguished the embers. The thrilling night of murder in Hanyang Mansion has passed, and the war has just begun in Dizhou, thousands of miles away.
