Chapter 251: Major National Events

In July, the Yangping Football Match kicked off. At the same time, in northern Song, the Song and Liao armies were temporarily tranquil. But relations between Liaojin and Jin are strained. The new generalissimo of the Liao army, Ye Luchun, gathered heavy troops in Tongzhou and launched a large-scale attack on Huanglongfu, bringing the front line to twenty miles from Huanglongfu. At the same time as the Liao Jin reopened the war, the Song army died down. Yelu Dashi, who had lost his marshal, strongly demanded attention to the Song army. He believed that only the Song army had the strength to attack Tongzhou and even Linhuang Mansion.

The Liao Dynasty also attached great importance to Yelu Dashi's opinion, so it placed 200,000 troops on the ground from Jinzhou to Tongzhou. And there are only 70,000 people from Tongzhou to Huanglongfu. Liao is not all cold weapons, although the Song gunpowder weapons are almost the same, but there are imitations, due to the immaturity of technology, and the limitations of gunpowder processing, heavy artillery can not be made, but the key equipment of the hand cannon is still there.

The grenadiers gradually became the main force and trump card of the two armies, which was a signal for the transition of cold weapons. If you play with a knife well, you will have to eat until you are old. Both armies attached great importance to the army's firearms and equipment, but the economic situation of the Liao State was not optimistic, and due to the additional taxation, there was a herdsman rebellion in Longhua Prefecture, which rarely occurred in Liao. Herders killed tax collectors and then absconded into the mountains, and many people responded to gather in the mountains. And they also got in touch with the Song forbidden army. This news made the Liao court very uneasy. At the suggestion of everyone, the court decided to borrow troops from the tribe. Most of these tribes were tribes in the Western Liao and still in a slave society. But they have a great advantage, their warriors are good at riding and shooting, very brave, and retain the martial style of the Khitan people two hundred years ago.

Song Liao was in strategic adjustment and dispatched troops. The Jin country is not idle either. also changed a general, that is, the deputy marshal in charge of Jinnan, Wanyan Zongbi. After Yan Zongbi was dismissed, he realized that Ouyang Yin had his own more yin hands. Because he really sent the murder to the corpse according to Ouyang's words, causing Jin Liao to open fire, he was impeached by Zong Han, who had always been dissatisfied with him, and as a result, he lost his military power. Of course, if you don't do what Ouyang said, you may be in even more trouble. Who knows? Facts are facts, and Wanyan Zongbi had reason to suspect that the Song people wanted to land in the southern waters of Jin. But in response to this statement, Wanyan Zongqiang, the younger brother who took over him, was very dissatisfied, could it be that if you can keep it, I can't keep it?

Tong Guan also didn't expect Ouyang's serial plan to have such a good effect, this is not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy, using the contradictory relationship between them to clearly provoke relations between the two countries, and the two countries know that there is a problem, but they can only suffer this dumb loss. Of course, you can also explain it to the public, but it's better to know that it's better to jump into the trap than to explain it weakly.

It's like a war, and you know that there is an ambush, and you can do it, but it's a few days away. If you want to hurry, you can only break through the ambush and encirclement and jump into the trap.

Tong Guan was overjoyed when he heard that Yan Zongbi was replaced. To attack the Jin State, the Huanglong Mansion must be taken, but the Huanglong Mansion was originally a military town in Liao, and it was only taken after Yan Agu fought a strategy, and the Jurchens had been operating for many years, and it was even easier to defend and difficult to attack. The Jurchens are relatively weak, that is, the sea area, and landing from the southern part of the Jurchen is a relatively easy and successful strategy to deal with the Jurchens. Most people think that Song did not dare to go to war on both sides, but Tong Guan has been in Hebei for so many years and has a clear grudge against Liaojin. He believes that the most remarkable thing about the two countries is that they do not go to war with each other, and it is impossible for them to fight together.

……

When Tong Guan adjusted his strategy for approval, he didn't know that there was a lot of trouble in Song. The source of this trouble is a trivial matter that Zhao Yu said. It is the bell of the great sage. Zhang Xuanming went to deal with this matter, of course, quietly. It's just that no one thought that the wife of Dingzhou Zhizhou turned out to be a believer in the mutual aid association. The news leaked, Zhong Xiang Yang Mo waved his rod to revolt or ***. Quickly led the believers to occupy Wuling. and defeated the Dingzhou army supervised by Zhang Xuanming.

Burn official mansions, cities, temples, temples and Haoyou's houses, and kill officials, Confucian scholars, monks, witch doctors, diviners, and people who have enmity. They defined the killing of officials as the practice of law, and the equal division of property as equal distribution. The law of the Song Dynasty was denounced as an evil law. All those who joined the rebel army were exempt from the tax differential and were not bound by official decrees. These propositions and actions have been warmly embraced by the people and are regarded as "natural principles."

The war soon spread to Tanzhou, dividing the land, fighting local tyrants, dividing family property, killing enemies, and exempting taxes. Driven by such very tangible benefits, the peasants, who were already oppressed by class contradictions, quickly responded. Within a month, the uprising spread to more than a dozen counties, and Dongting Lake became their base. During this period, Hubei Road encircled and suppressed the uprising, but all ended in failure.

"Zhong Xiang established himself as the king of Chu, Zhong Ziang was the crown prince, and he also distributed official subordinates from the first and second grades to the ninth grade." Ou Ping read the news and asked, "Young master, Sister Huilan asked if the news would be sent or not, how would it be posted?" ”

"No." Ouyang was backswimming in the pool, thought about it for a while, and said, "This kind of thing is very annoying. ”

Several state chambers of commerce suffered heavy losses, and they became the first targets to be attacked. Qian Zhuang is okay, as soon as *** happened, Qian Zhuang immediately burned and destroyed all the silver tickets in stock. These states are not economically developed, so they do not have much gold and silver in reserve. But the rich suffered. Needless to say, there is no need to talk about the field, and there is no need to talk about the family property. The head fell off, and all the big and small wives were robbed. The land was divided, and even the houses were divided equally. One of the members of the council was forced to tell him the password to the money bank's token, but the rebels found that all the money houses were on fire. I couldn't get a penny by sending people to other places to exchange money, because Dingzhou was in chaos, and all the funds of more than 1,000 yuan were frozen. In the end, the entire family of the member of the table was killed.

Ouyang was not upset that there were six reporters in the Royal Newspaper, and more than 20 printing workers were detained, and Zhong Xiang forced them to publish the Dachu Newspaper. imitated the royal newspaper and wantonly spread rumors. People in the surrounding states and counties of the uprising area were panicked.

This uprising is similar to the uprising of Wang Xiaobo in the early Song Dynasty, both rich and poor. But the difference is that their purpose in the first place is *** intent. This is the most difficult to do, such as Song Jiang, although he also killed officials, but he killed officials with a very bad reputation. He also robbed the rich, but to help the poor, not to win over soldiers. Song Jiang is anti-official but not anti-Song. So the nature of this incident is very bad.

Zhao Yu was angry, but also very embarrassed. The current embarrassment is that there is no military around the perimeter. In the hundred or so uprisings of the Song Dynasty, there was no shortage of border troops. It is such as the Northwest Military Road and Hebei East Road, such elites to encircle and suppress. However, in the current state of confrontation, the withdrawal of troops has disrupted the strategic deployment. And far water can't quench the thirst of the near.

He could only order the commander of Hubei Road to requisition the scattered troops nearby to exterminate them, so that the local heroes could recruit villagers to protect themselves. When the news came out, the people were dissatisfied with Zhao Yu's passive resistance. As the mainstream media, the Royal Newspaper reported what it saw and heard more objectively. They characterized Zhong Xiang's unearned behavior as the Xiongnu who had invaded the Central Plains for a hundred years. Compared with the poor land, the common people in the affluent areas were more disapproving of Zhong Xiang's behavior. Especially the targets they kill are too wide and aggressive.

The people were dissatisfied with Zhao Yu's decision, and the ministers were also dissatisfied. This time, both the new faction and the old faction formed a unity, demanding that the Tokyo forbidden army be sent out to encircle and suppress it. Liu Qi also asked for battle, and if he gave him 10,000 people, he would definitely be able to put down Zhong Xiang's 100,000 rebels. At the same time, the Chamber of Commerce offered a reward of 10,000 yuan to buy Zhong Xiang's head, and said that if the forbidden army was dispatched to encircle and suppress, the Chamber of Commerce would contribute one million as military expenses.

In the end, Zhao Yu finally agreed, and ordered Liu Qi to be the main general, Ouyang to be the supervising army, and go to Dongting Lake. Looking at Zhao Yu's appointment, you can know that Zhao Yu hopes for a quick solution. And Liu Qi and Ouyang cooperated in the battle, not to mention the few people who died, and the results were huge.

Ouyang didn't know about the appointment yet, just lying in the water and looking at the sky. This time the incident is big, and it has a lot to do with the regional unevenness. The gap between rich and poor counties is too great. When there is more consumption in rich counties, prices will rise. Prices in poor counties will not stand still, but will rise. Many people say that it is slander and nonsense for the poor people to come out of the poor mountains and bad waters, and they feel that the poorer the person, the kinder he is. Ouyang doesn't think so, looking at the nearly 100-year history of the Song Dynasty, the uprisings are basically in poor counties. Ouyang does not deny that they have a certain degree of dissatisfaction with the government. But Ouyang didn't support them. 's career is not absolutely right, this is a truth that many people don't understand until they die. The most important thing is ***? Everyone has their own yardsticks. If others have a lot of money without putting in a lot of physical effort, but if they don't have money after putting in a lot of physical effort, they will think that this is a social injustice. But the point is that in a group of people like Zhong Xiang, they are not for fairness or unfairness, but for themselves to become people who get without paying. In modern times, many people hate corrupt officials, and some of them do not shy away from saying that they are also corrupt when they become officials. This is a rather strange social psychology.

"Young Master!" Ou Ping drank water and asked, "How much trouble do you think Zhong Xiang can make?" ”

"Almost." Ouyang replied: "He first used religious influence to make himself a god, and he used *** methods to gather and exert influence." But the influence is limited after all. He has no believers except in these places. ”

"Young master, they have a share of the benefits, they have divided the fields, the land, and even other wives. Don't you often say that there will be a brave man under a great reward? ”

"Ou Ping, you go and buy a liter of rice twice, will it weigh exactly the same twice?"

"Of course not."

"So! Whether they want to admit it or not, there is always a lot of unfairness. Those who have meritorious service should be rewarded, but those who have been rewarded will be rewarded more than others. Why do you make meritorious service if you don't reward others? Ouyang said: "The basis of this pseudo-Chu is believers, and as for those who join for profit, they are all unstable. So don't look at this group of people who are so rampant, they still dare to build a country, but they lack confidence. It's internal friction again, if it weren't for Song being strong now, Jin Liao would have taken the opportunity to call over. ”

After Zhao Yu took office, there were basically no areas that could not survive because of tax problems. So for so many years, the Song country has developed steadily. But using religion and profit to drive ignorant people is another matter. As soon as the official document arrived, Ouyang very happily brought a few people to join Liu Qi's army.

The fastest way to get to Dongting Lake is to take Jingnan Road, and then take the waterway through Hanshui to Jiangling Mansion. As soon as you arrive at Gangneung Province, you can see that the local security is heavily guarded. The governor of the city is recruiting Xiang Yong. There are many famous generals in the Great Song Dynasty who were promoted through this means. There are also many famous generals who have been promoted through the *** peasant uprising.

When I arrived in Gangneung Province, the first operational meeting was officially held. Liu Qi introduced: "Most of the sergeants under his command are not accustomed to water, and it is more dangerous to take the waterway. It took a lot of time to get to Dingzhou by land, and the thieves were strong, and if every city had to be defended, the march would be even more difficult. ”

Ouyang Dao: "I heard that Dingzhou is surrounded by water on three sides, and the thieves are skilled in water, even if Dingzhou is broken, I'm afraid it doesn't mean much." "It's so easy for you to march to Dingzhou, it's easy to conquer Dingzhou again, and when you look at it, people have run away.

Liu Qi asked, "What do you think?" ”

Ouyang asked, "Can you let him come to us?" ”

"What adults mean is ......" Liu Qi thought about it and said, "It may not be impossible, but there may be danger to adults." ”

"I've choked to death while eating, so there's no danger in what you do."

……

Yuezhou is also the most important area, except for two counties because of the Jiangling Prefecture sent troops to defend, the others belong to the thief area. Ouyang arrived at these two counties with a thousand men and horses. What is Ouyang doing here? Ouyang came to visit the affected merchants and resettle the merchants and their families who had lost their properties.

As soon as this news came out, the thieves were very excited. According to the information from the inquiry, Ouyang will stay in these two counties for some days, because he will have to bring in members of the chamber of commerce and their families in Yuezhou, Dingzhou, and Tanzhou.

Zhong Xiang was overjoyed when he heard the news, but he asked cautiously: "Didn't you hear that Liu Qi brought 10,000 people?" ”

The spy said: "Back to the King of Chu, Liu Qi's men and horses have arrived in Jiangling Mansion, and they are currently recruiting Shui Yong to collect ships and prepare to go to Dingzhou. ”

"Are you sure Liu Qi is in Dingzhou?"

"Sure." The spy said: "The king of Chu doesn't know, the surname Liu has a false name, and when he arrived in Jiangling, he hooked up with Xiao Taohong." Now every day is like glue. His army practiced swimming outside the city. ”

"Little Pink." Zhong Xiang nodded, this is a famous prostitute in Jiangling, a native of Dingzhou. It's still a distant relative of Zhong Xiang. Although it has nothing to do with the rebel army, if Xiao Taohong can help drag Liu Qi, he can capture Ouyang alive. The capture of Ouyang alive was absolutely good news for the rebels. Zhong Xiang shouted: "Come on, go and invite General Yang Mo." ”

……

The whitebait in Dongting Lake has a good taste and good meat quality. Ouyang was very satisfied with a bite, and the Dongting whitebait had a unique flavor. He is now in a village about ten miles from Dongting Lake between the two counties. This place is good, and it takes two hours for the two counties to receive a report to save them, which is really convenient for others to find trouble for themselves. And the scenery here is beautiful, and the women are also beautiful.

The owner of this restaurant is a widow named Mei Niang, less than thirty, and her figure is quite sexy and provocative, of course, it is ancient after all, and you have to peel it to know. On the second day of Ouyang's stationing, he hooked up with this Mei Niang. In addition to her kung fu in bed, Mei Niang's cooking skills are also first-class. Ouyang ate whitebait, fed wine by his side, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: *** feels so good.

"How do you feel?"

Ouyang Se Mimi asked, "How was it last night, or how will it be later?" ”

"I hate it, of course the slave family is asking how this fish tastes."

Ouyang took Mei Niang's index finger *** and said, "Of course, you have the best taste." ”

"You haven't told anyone if it's good or not?"

"Good, good!" Ouyang rubbed his face on her chest: "It's all good." ”

"Dead ghost, I'll go get some wine." Mei Niang pinched Ouyang's thigh and went downstairs in a charming manner.

Zhang San, who was standing behind Ouyang, whispered to Li Si: "If General Liang knows, will this Mei Niang be thrown into the sea to feed the fish?" ”

Li Sizheng said: "Don't talk nonsense, the adults must have seen that Mei Niang was a spy, so they used her to release the news." ”

"Nonsense." Ouyang took a sip of wine and said, "You are not so godly. Just take a scan of any place to know who the spies are. This is called a coincidence, and it just so happens that this side is far away from the water and the city. It just so happens that there is such a ***. You are too young, and women really have a taste when they are thirty years old, have taste, understand human feelings, and know what men like to listen to and eat. ”

Zhang Sanhan said: "My lord, are you really playing?" ”

"Nonsense, and women *** are also part of the work of this prison army?" Ouyang Dao: "Of course, you can also find other reasons to stay here. But one reason is to resettle the victims, and the other reason is to play with women, which do you think is better? ”

Li Sidao: "My lord, what Zhang San means is that there is only one woman in this place who is a first-class product." He's jealous of your lords! ”

"How am I jealous?" Zhang San said unhappily: "I'm just worried about what if Zhong Xiangzhen comes?" Will General Liu take risks with adults too much? ”

"Zhang San, it's like doing business. To be an upstart is to take risks. Every day spent here destroys the local economy, kills more people, and makes it even more difficult to resume production in the future. Ouyang said: "Besides, General Liu said that he was seventy percent sure. “

Li Si smiled and said, "Zhang San, learn a little." Adults playing with women is a completely national affair. “

"What national event?" Mei Niang appeared with a smile.

Ouyang grabbed her hand and pulled her, let her sit on his lap and smiled: "They say that it is also a serious thing for me to play with women." ”

"Hee-hee." Mei Niang rubbed on Ouyang's body, picked up the wine and fed Ouyang Daodao: "Then you have to play until you have enough." ”

"Isn't that a lifetime of non-return?"

"Then don't go." The coal lady bit Ouyang's ear.

Ouyang waved his hand: "You guys go out, I have something important to discuss with Mei Niang." ”

Events...... Zhang San and Li Si smiled in their hearts, they had to do three watches last night, and they still had important things to do during the day.

……

At Dongting Lake, ten miles away, two men were talking.

"Ouyang is really here?"

"Really."

"How many people are around."

"A thousand."

"What is he doing here?"

"What? Play with women. Every day I get together with a *** named Mei Niang. ”

"Mei Niang!"

"A widow, very coquettish, walking with a twisted buttocks, often bathing in the yard, provoking the younger generations to climb the wall. She ignored it and sang a little song. ”

"Needless to say, if you want to go up, when the time comes, catch Ouyang, there are many women in the world for you to choose. What about those forbidden troops? ”

"The Lord will be virtuous, how good can the forbidden army be? I heard that they brought dozens of women from the city, and the officials were fooling around every night. Being a soldier is gambling, drinking, and spanking. Ban a fart army, a bunch of hooligans. ”

"Then Ouyang has not seen any merchants?"

"No, it's just a point in the city and let the merchants report on it. When do you do it? ”

"The night after tomorrow."

"Good!"
