This situation was very favorable to Yang Zaixing's uprising, and he appointed Yang Zhengxiu as the general of the unified army, and led 2,000 men and horses to Fujian Road to support the rebel army there.

Entering Jiangxi Road, Yang Zaixing learned that the rebel army on Fujian Road did not have a unified command, and only the one led by Guan Tianxia had the largest number. They often take advantage of the familiar terrain to take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and go straight to the county town.

Under the cowardly and incompetent situation of the official army, the pacification of Fujian made Xue Bi have to rely on the landlords to arm Zhou Huchen and Chen Min of Qianzhou (now Ganzhou, Jiangxi), and lead his troops into the mountains to suppress them. The rebels fought separately and did not support until the end of 1145, and Yang Zhengxiu's men and horses were still running on the road.

After extinguishing the uprising on Fujian Road, it was time to deal with the rebels on Hunan Road. In Zhao Gou's view, Yang Zaixing just wanted to strive for more benefits, and he could settle it by giving a little favor and a small favor, so Song Gaozong still adopted a Huairou policy to deal with the Miao Barbarian Rebellion in the Wuxi area.

Yang Zaixing's father and son have seized thousands of acres of government land for 20 years, and they are like an independent kingdom. Liu Fang of Zhitan Prefecture was ordered by the central government to deal with this matter, and he sent his subordinate Wang Li to Yang Zaixing, knowing the benefits and harms, and asking Yang to reform himself.

Yang Zaixing expressed his willingness to return the government's land and more than 600 acres of land owned by powerful landlords. Of course, the imperial court inevitably compensated him, and this time he was given a nominal five-grade "Zhenguo General" and hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Yang Zaixing accepted the reward, disbanded his armed forces, and vowed never to harm the place. Liu Fang transferred most of the returned land to the peasants, allowing the landless people to engage in agricultural production, and asked the central government to exempt them from servitude. The court granted his request.

Song Gaozong was very satisfied with Liu Fang's disposition and said, "Miao Yao's clan should be appeased. As a result, Liu Fang was promoted to the position of Baowen Pavilion.

But Yang Zaixing will not be anesthetized by the ecstasy soup of the imperial court, and he is ready to fight back anytime and anywhere.

In the twenty-fourth year of Shaoxing (1154), Yang re-raised troops, occupied most of the area of present-day Xinning, declared Wuxi Miao to stand on his own, removed the title of the imperial court again, and proclaimed himself King Miao.

A local squire named Zhang Dun, who mixed into the ranks of the rebels and obtained the secrets of the rebels, thought that the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune had come, and drew a dangerous map of Xitong and a strategy for defending the battle and sent it to the official army, but Yang Zaixing was still in the dark.

After some time, Yang Zaixing led his troops to invade Wugang, Quanzhou, Shaozhou, and dozens of counties in Lianke. After only three things, the imperial court sent a large army to suppress it this time, determined to level Yang Zaixing's camp in one fell swoop.

In July, Li Dao, the commander of the frontier, led his troops into Shaozhou with Zhang Dun as his guide. After several months of competition, Yang Zaixing did not lead many troops, and he was proud to underestimate the enemy, and Shiqian's reinforcements were delayed, and they were defeated by Li Daoyi one by one in March of the following year.

Yang Zaixing was unwilling to fail, gathered 10,000 horses again, took his two sons as the vanguard, and opened the gate of the Wugang army with fierce artillery fire, and the city was occupied by the rebels.

Less than three days after Li Dao returned to Shaozhou, the imperial court ordered him to return to Wugang again to recapture the city. Li Dao ran back and forth, angry and shouted: "Yang Zhengxiu, Yang Zhenggong, if it falls into my hands this time, I will have to pick your skin and pull your tendons!" ”

The invincible young master, father and son each led a road of soldiers and horses to garrison Jichuan Gate (east), Ying'en Gate (east), Qingcheng Gate (west), Qingqu Gate (west), Dong Pufei and Yang Zhengjie garrisoned the large and small forts in the north.

After the deployment, Yang Zaixing patrolled around the city, and he was always at ease. After all, all the previous battles were guerrilla warfare, mainly offensive; And now it is a positional war, which is mainly defensive.

In the evening, the sky is dark, the wind is strong, this so-called "mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings". 10,000 horses were scattered in six places, and if they were not clenched into fists, they would not have the strength to attack the officers and soldiers, and this defensive strategy did not conform to Yang Zaixing's consistent tactics.

In the lobby of the Yamen of the Zhijun, Zhuge Twilight had no bottom in his heart, and thought: "Stick to Wugang City, once it is surrounded, the officers and troops will rush to help from all directions, no matter how strong the city is, there will always be a time when the ammunition and food will run out." It is better to abandon the city, withdraw from the west gate to the city step village or from the east gate to the basin base area, and fight a protracted war. ”

Yang Zaixing sat on the Taishi chair of the Zhijun, and saw Zhuge Twilight frowning, not commenting on his battle plan, neither good nor bad, and his heart couldn't help but feel empty.

"Strategist, what is the best way to help this king defend the city?" Yang Zaixing asked.

"Without any strategy, defending the city is a taboo for soldiers, far away from the base area, and there is no public support, which is inappropriate." Zhuge Twilight let out a long sigh.

"Strategist, if you have any ideas, this king will forgive you."

"The enemy is strong and I am weak, so we should avoid its edge and abandon the city and return to the division, so that our army will not be attacked on all sides."

"Strategist, after seeing you attack the city for the first time, this king was so displeased, but the city in his hand was handed over again, and he was unwilling!"

"Great king, stick to the city, people will die, the city will die, and people and land will be lost; Abandon the city and leave, the city is lost, and the people and land are saved. I think it's better to retreat as soon as possible. ”

"It's too late, let it be fate-" Yang Zaixing suddenly aged a lot.

"King, I have to leave here as soon as possible, go back to share the worries of General Yang Xiaoer and Yang Xiaosan, and control the overall situation in the southwest."

"Okay. This king is approved. Go back and ask them to send someone to rescue the king as soon as possible. ”

"That king has to be careful everywhere, Li Dao is a demon who kills without blinking." After saying that, Zhuge Twilight rode a fast horse, went out of the Qingqu Gate at night, and went back to the base of Chengbu Village.

Yang Zhengjie, who was guarding the fort, took on the heavy responsibility for the first time, and was overjoyed, and even set up a banquet at the fort, got drunk, and fell asleep directly in the bunker, neglecting to take precautions.

When the rebels saw that the guards were all hanging, they all fell asleep on the fort, and they didn't even set up a sentry, so they were comfortable.

After the ugly time, Li Dao sent a small team to climb the rock, caught the still sleeping commander Yang Zhengjie, and took control of the fort effortlessly.

There is one less firepower point, Li Dao's squad is a pro-army, all of them are outlaws, and they are all good at fighting with a top ten, and soon they touched the east gate.

When Mo Liuwei found out about the Song army's squad, he was about to kill them, but it was too late, and the city gate had already been opened. Officers and soldiers poured in like a tidal wave, and the scattered star cannons continued to explode, which was deafening.

Mo Liunan couldn't stop it, retreated to the city, fought in the streets, and fought in the streets.

When Yang Zaixing learned that the East Gate had fallen, he couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly brought hundreds of people from Ying'en Gate to rescue the invincible young master in the city. Who knew that the official army had already laid an ambush on the road, tripped his war horse with a lasso, and captured Yang Zaixing alive. Seeing that the leader was captured, the rebels gave up their resistance and surrendered directly.

The Yang Zhengxiu brothers, who were stationed at the west gate, heard the sound of killing in the city, and left a part of the righteous army to guard the west gate and killed directly into the city.

Seeing this, Li Dao ordered the fire team and the assault rifle team to fire a salvo in turn, the rebels suffered heavy casualties, Yang Zhenggong and Yang Zhengxiu were injured by artillery fire, lost their resistance, and were also captured by the officers and soldiers, only the invincible young master and Dong Pufei fought their way out of the encirclement, and more than a dozen wounds were caused by firearms, and led hundreds of people to successfully withdraw from the east gate to Xinning Village.

The strength of Penxi, Niupi, and Huangli under Yang Zaixing's rule still exists, because the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Government forces suffered heavy casualties and remained deadlocked for more than a month, still unable to capture the three strongholds.

The imperial court ordered the selection of people who were proficient in the customs of the aborigines and trusted by them to persuade them to surrender, and Zou Yingke, a native of Jiangxi, was ordered to enter the Miao Yao camp single-handedly, and the natives came forward with weapons.

Zou Yingke was fearless, patiently did their ideological work, and the indigenous leaders were inspired, very happy, set up a banquet to entertain Zou, and wished Zou a long and healthy life with a large wine glass, Zou Yingke raised the wine glass high, drank it all, and did not doubt whether his wine was poisonous.

The natives were moved by Zou Yingke's sincerity, and one by one they were elated, expressing their submission to the imperial court, and said: "We don't have to worry about it, returning to the imperial court is the only way out." ”

As a result, the natives laid down their arms one after another, and more than 1,300 people surrendered, and the rest of Yang Zaixing's troops were thus pacified. Due to the distance between Shiqian County, there was no time to reinforce the rebels of the Wugang Army, so they took refuge in the Yang clan of Banzhou.

In order to retaliate, Li Dao decided to execute the two brothers Yang Zhengxiu and Yang Zhenggong by the Zheshui River with extremely cruel torture, because they had caused too much trouble to Li Dao's subordinates.

Yang Zaixing watched his two sons being chopped into meat sauce by the executioners, and tried to smash the prison cart several times to stop the cruel execution, but the cage was too strong to help.

Yang Zhengxiu and Yang Zhenggong were righteous and awe-inspiring, and they didn't cry out in pain from beginning to end, and the people on the side of the execution ground secretly wiped their tears for these two heroes who had been dominant.

Hundreds of rebels were beheaded, and blood flowed on the execution ground. Yang Zaixing was over 70 years old and was the king of Miao, and Li Dao decided to hand Yang Zaixing over to the emperor.

After Li Dao brutally suppressed the rebels, the official army killed pigs and sheep to celebrate the victory, which was so unpleasant. Li Daojia was an official and entered the knighthood, and the four compartments of the dragon god guard were all commanded.

As many as 5,772 people were promoted by the imperial court, and he immediately abolished Lingang County, set up Lingang Fortress, and implemented military control in Xinning Village. The court gave the squire Zhang Dun an official position, and gave him a field house, and the government built a loyal and filial piety workshop for him to open his door.

However, he was too complacent, and the people of Wuxi were not convinced, and a new uprising was brewing. Dong Pufei and Zhuge Eyes organized the old department, ready to rescue the captured Miao King Yang Zaixing at any time.

In April, all the armies in Ezhou stationed in Hunan had no choice but to write to the imperial court, requesting the establishment of a county office in Yang Zaixing's place of influence. In order to appease the people of Miao Yao, Song Gaozong agreed to Tian Shi's request, abolished Lingang Qi, and once again belonged to Suining County. And from the Wugang Army to set up Yang Zaixing's stronghold in Xinning County, under the jurisdiction of the Wugang Army, "Xinning" should take its new ** Ding (Yang's) and to the meaning of peace. The appointment of indigenous people as officials calmed the anger of the people.
