Chapter 314: The Imperial Court Makes Great Concessions
"It's all thanks to Lord Tang Tang Yiwen, I won't trust those bullshit civil officials in front of me and behind my back." Yang Shengtai looked serious.
"Without further ado, come on! If you defeat me today, I will immediately withdraw from the Flying Mountain. Wang An spread his hands.
"Good! If I lose, I will disband my troops and accept the court's recruitment. Yang Shengtai accepted the challenge.
Yang Shengtai understood that if Wang An was not defeated, the imperial court would not stop attacking, especially Tang Yiwen, a two-faced Hubei transit envoy. After that, he used all the skills of the Yang family's gun to fight against Wang An. Song Jun also abides by the rules, and no one secretly makes ghosts.
Wang An is also a battle-hardened general, who has never met an opponent since he joined the army, and he fought with Yang Shengtai for fifty rounds, but he could not defeat Yang Shengtai. Wang An was in a hurry, and used the stunt of "sealing chain", the Yanling gun was whirring in his hand, and Yang Shengtai was a little overwhelmed.
Yang Shengtai was forced to the edge of the cliff, Wang An stabbed him with a shot, Yang Shengtai flashed, Yanling spear pierced into the tree, Wang An was anxious, he pulled out the gun with both hands, used too much force, and fell off the cliff.
There are piles of rocks under the cliff hundreds of meters high, dozens of feet deep, and Wang An, who has fallen, is broken to pieces, and Yang Shengtai can't bear to look at it again.
Poor generation of famous generals, bright and fair, actually died in the mountain stream. Song Jun saw that the coach was gone, and he was in chaos. Yang Shengtai said: "General Wang An is a true hero! I don't embarrass you, let's go! "The Song army withdrew from the Feishan area.
Wang An was killed unexpectedly, and the plan to exterminate Feishan fell through, and the righteous army continued to grow in momentum, shaking the imperial court.
Su Zhe was very unaccustomed to Tang Yiwen's personality, so he wrote "On the Barbarian Affairs of Quyang" overnight, and presented it directly to Emperor Zhezong when he went to the court.
Emperor Zhezong opened the fold and took a look, only to see that the fold said: The minister saw that the court was close to Tang Yi and asked to deal with the personnel of Quyang Zhaiyi. The speaker thought that he was righteous, and he had no other talent, and he did not practice side affairs. Last year, he was ordered to abolish the Quyang Army, which was surrounded by the Yi people, poor and dangerous, and had no way out. When he knew that Hu Tian of Yuanzhou was in the siege, in order to set up tricks and deceive Zhuyi, he asked for the restoration of the army and begged for the chief to change the official. Yi people believe it, gather in the hall beforehand, and the superintendent will be played. If you ask for this, you have to get rid of it. Dispatch and dispatch, prelude to recovery. The words were not verified, and the Zhuyi knew the deception, and every time they did it later, they were not allowed to declare it along the border.
Nowadays, the imperial court has reverted to the special committee of side affairs, which is deeply considered to be useless and harmful, and it is the ministers who do not know the righteous questions as people, and they can also be suspicious when they see the court and then choose. Today, when I heard that the seventh general in the southeast sent by Yiwen, Wang An, was killed in battle, and the school was not one.
The ministers know that the public opinion is not vain. I also heard that although there were only five or six thousand soldiers under Yang Shengtai and other subordinates, there were many people in the Xidong, and there were many of them.
If the measures are in place, there is nothing that can be done, or if the painting is obedient, it is not easy to extinguish. The righteous question's actions have been taken lightly by the captives, and now they have been defeated and defeated, and it is really difficult to rely on. The generals of the ancient and modern generations will be believed by the soldiers and the people inside and feared by the barbarians outside because of the results that have been tried. The prestige has been written, so the effect can be expected.
Today, the police have heard that the casualties have been very serious, and it is advisable not to increase the number of candidates to curb the crowd. The minister stole to see Xie Lin in Zhitan Prefecture, repeatedly experienced barbarian things, quite diligent, between the streams, Fu Qi Zhi Yong, all the people said that they wanted to control the barbarians, and did not see those who were like Lin. Fu begged to command the secret institute to inspect the Huilin's resume before and after, if the words are true, begging to be commissioned, and a few barbarians can be quickly pacified. The ministers are worried about the country, and they adopt public discussions to make up for emergencies. Take in and stop.
Paste yellow: Hubei Quyang and Hunan Zhuzhu, this is also Huichengzhou. Although it was a state and county in the past, it was different from Yuanzhou and other places. Gaiyuan Prefecture and other places, in the past, they used soldiers to punish the hoe leaders, or relocated to the mainland, and leveled the nests, so the prefectures and counties were safe. Although Quyang and Zhuzhu are famous in Zhou County, and the people of Yi live and sit, they are all the same. Beyond the city, it is not my land. The reason for the road, and the Yi realm, peacetime military food officials, empty two roads. If you want to abandon it now, it will be beneficial to China. However, its soldiers and civilians gathered, merchants came and went, money, salt and coins, and trade was endless, and the people became rich from this. Once abolished, this profit will be lost, so it will fight to the death and occupy it. It is not easy to abolish the fortress, protect the soldiers and the people, and defend the pursuit. In addition, the Yi people are blocking the road, and the soldiers have not been able to enter, if they are not dealt with by good generals, I am afraid that it will be a lot of trouble. And its ethnicity is all over the caves, spanning the three roads of Hunan, North and South, and Guangxi. Wherever there is a measure, let the three ways be the same. Only if Quyang and Zhuzhu are dependent on each other, if Quyang is abolished first, the group will work together to attack Zhuzhu, and it will be difficult to survive alone. Now the imperial court alone makes Hubei deal with it, and it is suspected that its matter is not finished, if you don't send officials to manage the system, it is advisable to order the three roads to manage the side affairs, and the interests of all the nobles will not be ruined......
Emperor Zhezong had just finished reading it and was about to put pen to paper, when Zhao Zhan of the Privy Council played again, thinking that "although Chengzhou is located in a remote area, although the sparrow is small, the five organs are complete." There are many people, a large sphere of influence, strong and rude, brave and good at fighting, and it is difficult to take Chengzhou within a year. The top priority at the moment is to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people, quell the war, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment. "Ask the Emperor to abolish the Yang Army.
Gao Taiwei stood up and said, "Wouldn't it damage my face when the order is changed?" A small Yang Shengtai, he should be killed with all his might. "Captain Gao has deep roots in the DPRK, and most of the people in the army and the DPRK are his people.
The forces of the main battle faction prevailed and echoed Gao Taiwei's words. Emperor Zhezong couldn't make up his mind for a while, and said: "According to Gao Taiwei's opinion, continue to conquer!" So the imperial court successively sent Xie Lin and Li Xiang to supervise the army and control the barbarian affairs.
When Xie Lin and Li Xiang learned about the situation in the area of Chenghui Prefecture (present-day Chengbu, Suining, and Jingzhou), they both believed that the conditions were not yet ripe for the establishment of officials in the minority areas in this area, and they advocated abandoning the prefectures and counties they had established in order to ease the ethnic contradictions. So the two jointly wrote to Emperor Song Zhezong, saying that the resistance of Yang Shengtai and Su Renqi could not be suppressed by force for the time being, and asked the rebel army of Yang Shengtai to stop pursuing and suppressing it, focusing on pacification, and soon relieving the power of Jinghu.
Because Yang Shengtai's rebel army continued to defeat the Song army in Chenghuizhou, the military generals and civil officials who asked for a peaceful settlement continued to write to the imperial court, and the imperial court agreed: "Abolish the fortress, withdraw the garrison, and give it to the barbarians."
In October, Song Zhezong's edict said that Hunan, Hubei and Guangxi roads were exempted from "requisition" to Yang Shengtai and others.
The Northern Song Dynasty abolished the Quyang Army, still called Chengzhou, Huizhou and Quyang County, and ordered Yang Changda, the son of Yang Guangyi, to be the governor of Chengzhou; Guanbao and other places were all dismissed, and local officials were selected, buildings (military buildings) were destroyed, official houses (camps) were withdrawn, and residents were escorted into the village. Border officials who kill barbarians without permission are all guilty, and the roads opened by all roads and the walled forts are abolished.
Since then, the Yang Shengtai Uprising has achieved a major victory, thus preserving the fiefdom of the Yang family. After that, the Song Dynasty abandoned the counties and counties in the Wuxi area for a while, so the "Ode to the Wuxi Barbarians" praised - twenty-four years to Yuanyou, Yang Shengtai appeased the border. Tang Yiwen, the transfer envoy, led 10,000 troops to suppress it. Falling short and ashamed, the barbarians revolted until next year. Wang An begged Wang An to die, and Li Xiang and Xie Lin were entangled one after another. There is nothing to be gained in controlling the barbarians, and it is still the same way to give up the barbarians.
In the second year of Chongning (1103), Yang Shengzhen paid tribute to the imperial court, and the Song Dynasty abolished Huizhou, built Zhuzhu County, and soon changed to Suining County; Chengzhou was changed to Jingzhou, which belongs to Jinghu North Road, and has jurisdiction over Yongping (formerly Quyang County), Huitong and Tongtong three counties. The Northern Song Dynasty court directly sent officials to rule the land of the original Chenghuizhou, and moved all the descendants of Yang Zaisi to Liping, Guizhou.
In order to prevent the Yang family general group from gathering people to revolt again, the Northern Song Dynasty gradually deprived it of the fiefdom of Chengzhou through various means. But since the late Tang Dynasty, the descendants of the Yang family have been breeding in the land of Wuxi for more than 200 years, the Yang family is a big tree with lush roots and leaves, cut some main branches, and the side branches still exist, and over time, the side branches can also become the main branches. The influence of the Yang family group has not been affected much, the martial tradition has penetrated into the descendants of the Yang family, and the "Yang family marksmanship" has taken root in Chengbu Village.
In the third year of Song Chongning (1104), Suining County, Wugang Army, Hunan, the source of water in Chengbu Village, a poor peasant family in Bagua Ridge, Shijingtu Village. The male owner, Yang Faxiang, is a long-term worker, farming for the landlord, and his ancestors left him two acres of thin land, and he cut some firewood and sold it in exchange for oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and so on.
The hostess Li can spin and weave cloth, wash clothes for large families, and earn some household income. They already have a son, and another child will come after the Qingming Festival. With a poor family background, the couple did not complain, they only knew that they were strong, hardworking, and down-to-earth, and they could live a good life.
Yang Faxiang is the youngest son of Yang Shengtai who stayed in Chengbu Village, and since most of the Yang family's descendants moved to Guizhou more than ten years ago, most of the Yang family's land has become official land. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he can use the Yang family's gun, and he has a lot of strength, although he has lost a large piece of land, he has not stumped him, an eight-foot man.
Since marrying his wife Li, Yang Faxiang has been even busier, especially after adding Ding to the family, he laughs all day long. Big families see that he is never lazy in doing things, he is sincere, as long as he has a job, he often calls him, and when he pays his salary, he always has to give a few more children, which makes Yang Faxiang feel very comfortable.
Yang Faxiang is also literate and wants to take a martial arts exam, but the local security chief clearly told him that the descendants of the Yang family are not qualified.
"Why?" Yang Faxiang asked.
"Four words, the Yang family rebelled." The chief said coldly.
"Oh." Yang Faxiang didn't ask again, he had to accept his fate, there was no endless road, and he often told himself that one day, the Yang family would revive the family business.
When the drizzling Qingming Festival arrived, Yang Faxiang took his son to the ancestral tomb of the dog cub stone (now the Tuqiao area of Maoping Town) to clean the tomb of the ancestor Yang Zhengxiu, the lord of Chishui Mountain.
After Yang Faxiang put on the wine, fruits, and meat, and lit the incense candles, the rain just stopped, and God opened his eyes!
The father and son knelt in front of the grave reverently, and after Yang Faxiang kowtowed three times, his palms were folded, and he recited words in his mouth: "Grandfather (old ancestor), you bless me Yang Faxiang." Soon I will have another child, and if the family business wants to prosper again, it depends on the child. ”
