The beggars are gone!

This news flew all over the country as officers and soldiers from all over the rivers and lakes grabbed and recruited beggars and put on wings, and even the rivers and lakes of other countries have heard of it.

The Beggar Gang, a big gang that has been faintly known as "the largest gang in the world", disappeared just when it was in full swing.

The leader of the beggar gang was first revealed to be a Khitan orphan, and before the rivers and lakes were indignant, the imperial court issued a holy decree, sealed a guerrilla general, and specially opened a household registration for him in the Great Song Dynasty, and was a Song person registered in the imperial court.

Then, in various large states and small counties, a group of well-equipped officers and soldiers went around arresting beggars who committed crimes, those who resisted had their limbs cut off, and those who were harvested and tortured were corrected on the spot.

Ninety percent of the beggars in the world are gone all of a sudden, the lazy and unenterprising go to mine and cultivate the fields, and the good people with sound limbs are incorporated into the beggar army under the command of General Qiao Fengqiao.

The beggar army, a special product of the Wuhu Chaos period in the past, has become a suitable title.

The army of beggars, seeking a great Song Dynasty for good health, seeking a world of peace, and most importantly, seeking a life, is to survive, but also to live a better daily life.

It's for the beggar army!

"Amitabha."

In the Daxiong Hall of Shaolin Temple, the abbot of Xuanci and the old monks of the Xuanzi generation sat cross-legged

"The beggar gang has dispersed, and the beggars in the broken temple at the foot of the mountain have been arrested and taken away, and it is said that they have been used to fill the army."

Xuan Nan clasped his hands together, said the Buddha's name, and took out a scroll of holy decrees.

"This was brought to the Shaolin Temple by the officers and soldiers who came that day."

Xuan Ku looked at the spread out holy decree, closed his eyes, and read: "Baizhang Qing Rules!" ”

Four big characters, a hundred zhang clear rules, in addition to these four big characters, the whole holy decree has no other content, but it shocked the hearts of many monks of the Xuanzi generation present.

"Amitabha, I didn't expect that the next thing the official family wants to do is our Shaolin Temple." Xuan Ci sighed, "Sure enough, the Buddha once said that the honor of the skin is all vain and detrimental to people's merits. The reputation of Shaolin Temple is too great, and it has brought bad results. ”

Xuan Lin shook his head: "But the abbot thought badly and fell into nonsense, what does this holy decree of the imperial court mean, doesn't the abbot still understand?" ”

"It's understanding, so I see it thoroughly."

Xuan Ci sighed: "Zen Buddhism is the blueprint of the Qing rules, and the rules of Baizhang are clear, this is what the official family means, in the past, they turned a blind eye, but now they are going to be liquidated." ”

"What his official family wants is a Qinggui monk who doesn't eat for a day, not a Shaolin monk who now lends money and collects rent."

Xuan Ci is the abbot of Shaolin Temple, and he is the one who holds the power, so he needs to know more about these.

He knew too well how to explain a hundred rules.

Shaolin Temple's current business model, if you really want to follow the rules of a hundred zhang, the kind that does not eat for a day, how can you raise such a group of fat and strong Shaolin monks?

Not to mention anything else, it is the robe on his body, which should not be plain, gold silk and jade brocade, a luxury!

"And what about the heroes after March?" Xuan asked bitterly.

"It's business as usual." Xuan Ci fixed his nature, "On that day, I am afraid that it will not only be the traveling monks and high-rollers in the rivers and lakes, but the people in the government estimate that no, they will definitely come to mix." ”

"If we don't do it, the court will be able to grasp the handle even more, and it will not be a simple liquidation at that time."

In the Western Xia Kingdom, the current lord of the country looked at the envoy who arrived seven days in advance, and his heart was a little angry.

"Da Song really wants to fight?"

"Didn't you talk about it seven days ago?" The envoy smiled, neither humble nor arrogant, standing proudly, "You Xixia sent people to mess with my Song Tu Ankang, and the people of Yipintang came without telling me, and entered my Central Plains, didn't you think about fighting a fight?" ”

"Lord, are you taking this war book? Or do you pick it up? ”

Have you given me a choice?

The lord of the Western Xia Kingdom looked at the envoy, he was not very old, but he was about twenty, his face was handsome, and he was dressed in a gorgeous court dress to show the beauty and wealth of the Great Song Dynasty.

He was not afraid, he never thought that this was a meeting with the lord of the country, but more like a declaration meeting of an equal, and his tone was not hurried, and he said great things that could affect tens of thousands of people like a common thing

"Two days ago, Helian Tieshu was arrested by you, and most of Yipintang was also killed by you."

The eyes of the lord of the country were cold, and the civil and military forces on both sides looked at the envoys: "But what about you?" Seven days, seven days ago, I arrived in Western Xia and sent a war letter to me, how could I not accept it? ”

The heart of the Great Song Dynasty has been revealed, how can he not accept it?

Had to pick it up!

"I'm curious, aren't you afraid of death?"

"Lord, you are really old." The envoy smiled, waved his sleeves, and the front of the Manchu Dynasty did not change its color, "The two countries are at war and do not kill the envoy, if you kill me, it will break the rules, and the consequences of bad rules are not something that anyone can bear." ”

The envoy is the face of a country abroad, and the envoy is a slap in the face of the country, do you still want to have a good one?

Today, if you don't give face to the Great Song Dynasty, the rest of the countries in the future can naturally not give face to the Western Xia, this move basically cuts off the possibility of détente, and only if you fight to the death until one side wins or a third party inserts it, you can stop.

"yes, I'm not going to kill you." The Western Xia Nation Lord nodded, "But are you really not afraid of death at all?" I don't believe it. ”

"Hahaha!"

He laughed wildly, turned around and walked out of the hall step by step.

"Look up to the sky and laugh and go out, you are all thieves!"

"Smack!" As soon as the lord of the country slapped the dragon chair, the suppressed anger in his heart was completely drawn out.

"You're really not afraid of death!"

The envoy of the Great Song Dynasty ignored the lord of the Western Xia Dynasty above the court, and corrected the law on the spot, and the next day, without exception, the monarchs and ministers of the court were all unable to report their illness, and it spread all over the country for a time.

Similarly, this also shows that there is no room for sparing this war, and the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia are really going to have a hard time.

"What did the official family of the Great Song Dynasty gain and become crazy?"

Yelu Hongji looked at the information in his hand, and he couldn't understand it, so he really couldn't fight?

What kind of virtue is in the Great Song Dynasty, the Song high-level knows, and their opponents also know, what level of the army is too clear! Especially with the loss of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the Great Song Dynasty has no good land for horse grazing, and there are no good war horses, and they can't really succeed in the cavalry.

The current form of warfare is cavalry warfare, with high mobility, the organic combination of horses and people, and the blessing of multiplier force, a cavalry team of 500 people can even crush an infantry army of 5,000 people.

It can be said that the Great Song Dynasty was already a stage of backward overall warfare, and the lack of good horse grazing land was the biggest defect, and it was impossible to produce good war horses and good cavalry.

Moreover, not long after the death of the Empress Dowager Gao, the political turmoil, and the official family of the Great Song Dynasty had just begun to take power, how much power could he unify?

There is no good cavalry, the country is unstable, and the Great Song Dynasty launched a war at this time, so he was not afraid of being stolen?

For example......

Distant!

"Not necessarily." A Khitan Wenchen replied, "According to the intelligence, the Great Song Dynasty seems to have new armaments, and the Western Xia sword is difficult to break to prevent people from hurting, it seems that the Great Song Dynasty has been prepared for a long time." ”

"Indeed." Yelu Hongji nodded in agreement, "But no matter what, he will suffer heavy losses in this war." ”

"That's right, a lot of losses."

The courtiers on both sides smiled, and their expressions were extremely hideous and bloody.
