After Li Jun, the dragon of the mixed sea, led the voyage team to rest for two days, loaded with a large amount of supplies and tens of thousands of people, set sail again, and the fleet had more than ten large ships.

This time it was accompanied by the Fourth Army of Zhang Shun in the waves. Zhang Heng also led the fleet to Laizhou Naval Base for offshore training. Quietly, the garrisons of Jinsha Wharf and Shijie Fortress changed.

Chao Gai was not in a hurry to leave Liangshan, and the fact that several ladies wanted to stay for a while was an exception. Hu Sanniang, Hua Zi, and Yelu Tali had endless disputes with the generals of various armies for the formation of the reconnaissance battalion and medical battalion in the army.

In addition, Chao Gai also needs to go to various military stations to watch the martial arts competitions. Condolences to the officers and men at the bottom, and a deep understanding of the situation of each army. By the way, I will tell the story of overseas and the cruelty of the northern battlefield, and instill the truth that "if you are not of my race, your heart will be different". Directly or indirectly affect the military.

Time flies, half a month has passed in a blink of an eye!

Chaojia Army's water, infantry, cavalry, and garrison guard battalions, logistics battalions, reconnaissance brigades and other arms were formed. Due to the need for personnel in all armies, special arms such as reconnaissance satellites and medical services have not been fully established, but the framework has been completed.

We can only wait until time settles and the armies are perfect!

This small-scale expansion of the army almost exhausted the reserve personnel accumulated by the Chao family army. The total strength of the field army and garrison army exceeded 200,000.

When the naval armies were fully established, counting the reserves, the number exceeded 250,000.

That's a scary number!

Even if the prosperous Chaojiazhuang is very profitable, with a monthly income of one million. However, it is difficult to maintain the growing population base and military spending. Several ships of gold brought back from Jeju Island gave the capital for the expansion of the army.

With this gold, it is enough for the development of the Chao family's army.

On the side of Jingdong, a super giant has quietly risen!

……

The last years of the Northern Song Dynasty were an era of corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

In addition to Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Gao Yu, and Yang Jian, the four thieves who are in charge of the court. In addition, there are rising stars such as Wang Huang, Liang Shicheng, Zhu Mian, Li Yan, and Qin Hui, who are all friends of Song Huizong.

These people have a complicated relationship, fighting openly and secretly, if they are about to leave, but they are in a group. colluding with each other and rejecting dissidents, the folk call it "three thousand ropes, straight secret pavilion; 500 runs, promoted to a judgment", later generations called the six thieves and four evils.

So many people who abuse power for personal gain, and who are corrupt and corrupt go around the emperor, preaching that the world is peaceful, that the government is harmonious, and that they are privately buying officials and selling lords, and that the country is in a miasma. The foundation of the Great Song Dynasty was corrupted, and part of the looted silver was made public for the high-ranking officials of the imperial family.

Song Huizong Zhao Ji was unlucky, and he was worried about the lack of heirs, and a monk told him that as long as the terrain in the northeast corner of the capital was raised, he could ensure that the royal bloodline would be safe.

Huizong according to his words, in the northeast corner of Kaifeng to pile up the earth mountain, soon after, really gave birth to several princes, Huizong was overjoyed, thought that this is a blessed land, so decided to build a garden here, for the royal tour and entertainment.

So far, for 20 years, the huge "Long Live Mountain" has kicked off.

Not only did Taihu Lake stone be mined in the Jiangnan area, Huizong also sent Zhu Mian [miǎ].

led the team to loot rare treasures, famous flowers and ancient trees, Zhu Mian and his minions relied on the emperor's power to run rampant in the south of the Yangtze River, using power for personal gain.

They demolished walls and houses, extorted money, and made people's lives miserable. The beautiful mountains and rivers and abundant products in Shezhou and Muzhou have also become the main areas for harassment and looting by Zhu Mian and others. Shezhou, the people of Muzhou hated the government, and this was the reason why there was an uprising held under the bewitchment of Fang La.

Speaking of this Zhu Mian, not many people know about it, so I have to mention one or two.

According to historical records, Zhu Mian (1075-1126), a native of Suzhou, an official of the Northern Song Dynasty, served as an envoy of Weiyuan. Because of his father Zhu Chong's cunning, Cai Jing was later dismissed and went to Suzhou to build an attic as he liked. Cai Jing and Tong Guan, father and son both won the office. At that time, Huizong loved strange flowers and stones. However, the Zhu family is good at building gardens and is recommended by traitors.

Zhu Mian was in favor of the above, and searched for rare flowers and stones in central Zhejiang to donate, and increased year by year. During the Zhenghe period, set up the Ying Feng Bureau in Suzhou, spent official money, tried every possible way to extort flower stones, and transported them into the capital by boat from the Huai River and Bianhe River, known as the "Flower Stone Gang", this campaign was endless, the people were troubled and miserable, the middle-class families were all bankrupt, and even sold their children and women for claiming.

Those who really can't survive the family flee and go north or south. It is also the reason why there will be a team of refugees in Chaojiazhuang every day to vote.

When Fang La rebelled, he called for the killing of Zhu Mian.

While trying his best to welcome the emperor, Zhu Mian also did everything possible to seize and plunder, accumulate private property, and live a corrupt life. When the Jin people went south, Huizong was so frightened that he abdicated, and Song Qinzong ascended the throne, released Zhu Mian to the field, and later exiled him to Xunzhou (now Longchuan, Guangdong) and imprisoned him, and the restoration envoy beheaded him to death.

To sum up, Zhu Mian is a corrupt official and traitor, forming a party for personal gain, bullying the people, and is very bad. This naturally gives people who have a heart to make a fuss.

Suzhou is a great achievement in the south.

On this day in late October, the north wind came and the sky was overcast. It looks like it's going to rain. made many people and businessmen stop, but they couldn't stop Zhu Mian's heart.

Because as long as there is a wood and a stone in the homes of the people of Suzhou, he led the soldiers to rush to his house and put a yellow seal on the garden stone as a symbol, even if he collected a tribute in front of the palace. If the people complain at all, they will be crowned with "great disrespect" and take the opportunity to extort money, and ordinary people cannot afford to provoke them at all, and they are often forced to go bankrupt.

Zhu Mian made a windfall. In the name of procuring flowers and stones, he withdrew money from the treasury, "taking tens of millions each", but the tribute to Tokyo was "to seize the fish from the people, and to pay no compensation", and both sides profited. Others, such as digging graves and destroying houses, are innumerable for bribery

Every day, every hour is money!

Zhu Mian heard that there were antiques and strange stones outside Suzhou, why didn't he go? Seeing the gloomy sky, he didn't care, and led his minions to leave the Ying Feng Bureau.

The minions were not local officials, but more than 100 well-armed, heavily armed soldiers. Everyone is an elite selected from the Bianliang City Forbidden Army, all of them are strong, holding sharp weapons, and majestic.

The group of people was on their toes, and some people opened the way, shouting and rolling away.

The people and traders along the way all retreated, no one dared to provoke these guys, looking at this group of officials and soldiers in the capital who had bad deeds and scheming and looted, they didn't have to think about it to know which one they must have gone to extort.

Everyone gritted their teeth, full of anger, and wanted to take a bite.

Sooner or later, there will be retribution! Some of the elderly shook their heads and sighed.

In the past, they would not rebel until they reached a dead end, but this miracle was suddenly discovered!

Zhu Mian led the team all the way unimpeded, and there were two streets near the East City Gate. Several men dressed plainly and wearing hats bumped out head-on. Just blocked the way of the team, and immediately made the minions yell and get out of the way.

The attitude is bad, the appearance is arrogant, as if the road is their home.

The first big man raised his head and asked with a smile: "Hey, isn't it Lord Zhu Mian?" ”

"Who are you?" Zhu Mian was stunned for a moment, and then asked.

"He said yes!" The big man opened his throat and roared.

"What nonsense? Cut him. Several big men roared and pulled out steel knives.

Zhu Mian was startled, but he didn't wait for him to make any moves.

Suddenly, on both sides of the road, at the end of the street, there were earth-shattering shouts of killing.

"Kill, kill him."

"Brother, kill the dog officer."

"Eliminate harm for the people and promote the prestige of my Ming Sect."

I saw groups of masked people armed with steel knives pouring out of the alleys and alleys. More and more, densely packed, counting, at least three or five hundred.

"Brothers, the dog officials have plagued the people, done many evils, and many families have been ruined. Kill them. Preach the doctrine of my great light, rush! The big man who looked up and smiled before had a fierce face and roared like thunder.

"Burn my body, blaze the holy fire, live and be happy, and die and suffer, for the good and evil. But the light, joy and sorrow, all to dust, mercy to the world, there are many sorrows. Angry bullfighting, slashing evil spirits. ”

The sword-wielding men who came from all over shouted uniform slogans, and pounced on Zhu Mian and the others with murderous spirit, and some people bent their bows and arrows before they got close. Although it is an ordinary hunting bow, there are many of them, and they shoot twenty or thirty people in an instant. Or death or terrible screams, blood stained the sky red.

The two sides met and a fierce battle began.

No, it should be a massacre, and the army should be defeated and retreated,

These forbidden troops from Bianliang City were large and trained, but they lacked actual combat. The enemy poured in from all directions, and they were a little flustered, and it was futile to let the panicked forbidden army shout and let them fight hard.

There were too many enemies swarming in, and they were besieged in groups. The person in front slashed with a knife, and the person behind couldn't catch up, so he bent his bow and arrows and shot wildly. Under the cover of this crossfire, one by one they were cut to the ground and fell in a pool of blood, only to see corpses strewn across the streets.

Most of it was lost in a short time, and Zhu Mian, the second ancestor, was also slashed twice on his back, with a few arrows on his buttocks and arms, and he was so frightened that he hid in the crowd, howling and crying, rolling and crawling, and he was no longer arrogant.

Had it not been for the arrival of a patrol, the unknown group of Assassins would have withdrawn in time. It is estimated that the whole army will be wiped out, and Zhu Mian will also die. Manager Zhu, who was lucky enough to escape, reported the incident overnight.

On the day when the concert arrived in Yueliang City, there were many people who claimed to be Manichaean and Mingjiao, and other figures preached, held private meetings, encouraged the people to join the religion, and ate vegetables and demons.

Lord Yin Teng of Kaifeng Prefecture decisively sent a team to raid and arrest, smashed the stronghold and caught many people, and after interrogation, it was indeed a Manichaean sect.

All kinds of news, coupled with the arrival of Zhu Mian's attack in Tokyo, Song Huizong was furious. Investigate the matter thoroughly and find out that the Manichaean order was given.

This time, there was no argument in the court, and the traitorous ministers were surprisingly unanimous to the outside world. Just because someone moved their people, for this reason, the decree was quickly transmitted.

With the south of the Yangtze River, the government of the two Zhejiang provinces sent back news that Manichaeism was all over the state capitals, more than the local wealthy families, and even the court officials were very close.

The hidden forces are not small!

The news was transmitted back to Bianliang City again, and the entire government and the opposition were shaken.
