Although Shaanxi is divided into Qinfeng Road and Yongxing Military Road, it is managed by the same transit envoy, namely: Shaanxi transit envoy.

When Zhu Ming besieged the city of Xingyuanfu, the messenger for help had arrived in Shaanxi.

Guess who the Shaanxi transshipment envoy is?

It was after reading Zhu Ming's "Song of Righteousness" that Li Bozong, the secretary of Dali Temple, chose to resign!

This old man resigned and returned to his hometown, and too many people came to intercede.

In order to win over the centrists, Wang Hao also asked the centrists to recommend talents, and as a result, a bunch of people recommended Li Bozong.

Song Huizong discussed with Wang Hao and decided to use Li Bozong as the transit envoy of Shaanxi.

It's a chore!

After Tong Guan conquered the Western Xia, the Great Song Dynasty occupied some territory. The farthest city is in Menyuan, Qinghai, and the Han people along the way are extremely scarce, and they have to garrison heavy troops to guard against Western Xia, and the grain is all transferred from Shaanxi.

Continuing to transfuse blood to Gansu and Qinghai, Shaanxi has exhausted its financial resources.

What the transshipment envoy thinks about every day is how to make money and food.

Li Bozong also organized the reclamation, but no matter whether it was a military camp or a civilian camp, most of them basically fled within a few months.

As long as they go to Gansu and Qinghai to serve as soldiers, each soldier can be allocated 200 acres of land, and the government will also send their families to the army with travel expenses. But there is no use in fart, should I run or run, I would rather stay in Shaanxi as a beggar than go to Qinghai, Gansu to be a big landlord.

Because they can't summon tenants, they can't plant themselves, and the civil and military officials are still exploiting them to death!

It can be understood that the money is upside down.

"After a strategy, there is an urgent report in Han!" An official hurried in.

Li Bozong was not only the transfer envoy of Shaanxi, but also hung the title of Shaanxi Economic Envoy, he asked: "What's the matter?" ”

The subordinate officer held the urgent item in both hands: "Eight hundred miles is urgent, and the subordinates have no right to open it." ”

The letter was sent from the Bao Slope Road, no matter how urgent it was, it was not in a hurry, and the boat from Hanzhong to the deep ditch and dangerous valley had to get off the boat and honestly climb the mountains and mountains.

Sealed letters in the Qin and Han dynasties were sealed with mud, soap sacs and other materials.

In the Song Dynasty, it was much simpler, the seal was pasted up and sealed, and the seal had to be torn open when it was opened.

Li Bozong opened the seal, only glanced at it, and his breathing became short.

Afraid that he had read it wrong, he read it carefully and read it twice, and Li Bozong scolded him: "Rats! In vain, I will resign for you, who did you write "Song of Righteousness"? ”

The subordinate officer asked: "Jingluo, what is the urgent matter in Hanzhong?" ”

After scolding, Li Bozong lay on the chair and said weakly: "Zhu Guoxiang, Zhu Ming and his son rebelled and have occupied the three counties of Yangzhou. ”

The subordinate officer was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Shaanxi was no longer able to transfer troops, some of them were sent to Hebei to attack Liao, and some of them were guarding the border areas to guard against Western Xia.

Even if there are soldiers, they can't be mobilized, because of lack of money and food, it is difficult to supply the border army every year.

After sitting for a long time, Li Bozong straightened his waist and cheered up to write a report to the imperial court, requesting that the western army in Hebei be transferred back as soon as possible.

After thinking about it carefully, Li Bozong instructed: "Inform the prefectures and counties of Qinfeng Road and Yongxing Military Road, whether it is the patrol soldiers, the box army, or the archers, the archers, and the soldiers who can fight a war, all of them will be transferred to the nearest Hanzhong northbound road. Be sure to block the Bao Slope Road, Chen Cang Road, Fu Luo Road, and Meridian Road! ”

Hanzhong wrote a letter to ask for help, where did Li Bozong have the ability to save him?

What he is thinking about now is how to defend, Shaanxi is empty of troops on both sides, in case the Zhu family's father and son lead troops to kill, the whole of Shaanxi will have to fall!

The more Li Bozong thought about it, the more angry he became, the timing of this rebellion was too good, and the Zhu family's father and son must have been thinking about it for a long time!

Xu Fuyan not only wrote a letter to Shaanxi, but also sent a letter to Tokyo, and the messenger has now passed Chang'an. Another letter was sent to Chengdu, and the messenger has now arrived in Hanzhou (Guanghan).

……

Guanghan.

A fast horse galloped madly south, and when it reached the Qingbaijiang ferry, the messenger shouted: "Ferry, eight hundred miles expedited!" ”

The shop soldiers stood up in panic, and the whole shop flew and jumped.

The person in charge of delivering the letter in the delivery shop also belongs to the box army sequence, and when encountering urgent official documents, it must be replaced along the way.

"Do you want to be replaced?" A shopper asked.

The messenger said, "I came from Guanghan, and I will send it to Jintang to change it again." ”

After saying that, he handed over the horse to the shopkeeper and quickly jumped into the boat himself.

Crossing the river in a boat, riding a horse again, galloping all the way to Jintang.

After arriving in Jintang County, the messenger was exhausted and out of breath, handed the urgent letter to the shopkeeper and lay down.

changed a messenger and rushed to Chengdu.

"Eight hundred miles urgent, eight hundred miles urgent, quickly dodge!"

On the street, passers-by dodged on horseback.

Chengdu Fulu Du Transit Envoy, and Sichuan Shipping Envoy, is a Fujian man named Huang Yi.

He opened the urgent paperwork and looked at it, only to find that his eyes were black, and his mouth kept muttering: "Woe to you, woe to you!" ”

Fang La made it too big in the southeast, and the officials of the Great Song Dynasty were now nervous, and they panicked when they saw someone rebelling.

Here in Sichuan, there are people who "rebel" every year, but that is a barbarian who is deliberately forced to rebel.

The father and son of the Zhu family are different, they have all been officials, and they are by no means comparable to ordinary thieves!

Huang Yi can imagine that if Hanzhong is occupied by the anti-thieves, the next target must be Shuzhong.

Because Shu and Han are one, all dynasties have proved this.

"Get Gao Jingshan quickly!" Huang Yi shouted in a panic, having lost his demeanor.

Gao Jingshan has been a judge of Lizhou Road Transport for several years, promoted corn and sweet potatoes with Lu Tixue, and also quelled the rebellion of the Jinjinxia Township soldiers for Huang Qianshan. He knew Zhu Guoxiang and talked very well.

Today, Gao Jingshan serves as the deputy envoy of Chengdu Fulu Transport.

I heard that there was an urgent official document of 800 miles, and the boss was still anxious to find himself, Gao Jingshan rode all the way over to meet him: "Huang Zhizhi, what is the urgency?" ”

Huang Xuan said: "The Zhu family father and son have rebelled and have captured the three counties of Yangzhou. ”

"What?" Gao Jingshan didn't believe his ears.

"The Zhu family's father and son have rebelled!" Huang Yi took the urgent document over.

After Gao Jingshan read it, he still couldn't believe it: "How can it be the other way around?" ”

Huang Xuan said: "You have been an official in Hanzhong for a long time, and you have met the father and son of the Zhu family, and you have come up with a charter. ”

Gao Jingshan hurriedly cleared up the relationship and said unhappily: "What charter can I have?" Does the envoy suspect that I am involved in the thief? Even if you want to suppress the thief, you should make a decision! ”

Huang Yi hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that. Deputy Envoy Gao is familiar with the situation in Hanzhong, and please help me get an idea, my mind is very messy now. ”

Gao Jingshan said: "There are few soldiers on Lizhou Road, and with my understanding of Zhu Guoxiang, he is not a person who likes to take risks." Now that the army has been raised, it must be well prepared, and Hanzhong will definitely be running out. For today's plan, immediately gather troops to the north, enrich the troops in Xiongguan everywhere, and prevent the Zhu family father and son from killing Shuzhong. ”

"Yes, yes, defend everywhere!" Huang Yi finally regained his senses.

A few years ago, 100,000 Lunanyi rebelled, and Sichuan put together more than 10,000 soldiers, and was defeated and retreated by the barbarians, and 30,000 elite Western troops were transferred from Shaanxi to settle down.

The reason for this is that the Northern Song Dynasty was overly prepared for Sichuan.

After the Song Dynasty destroyed the Battle of Shu, although it was fought smoothly, it was difficult to govern after that.

The Song soldiers burned, killed and looted in Shu, did all kinds of evil, and committed heinous crimes. Throughout the dynasties, there has never been a founding army that has been so brutal in the land that has been attached.

That's all, the early Song Dynasty was still tyrannical in Shu, treating the people of Sichuan as second-class citizens.

In the decades since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the Sichuan uprising has continued to wave, and finally brewed the mighty Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun uprisings.

Zhang Yong, the ancestor of Zhang Bo, ruled Shu twice, suppressed and appeased at the same time, rectified the rule of officials, and improved people's livelihood, so that Sichuan really settled down.

But since then, the Great Song court has been keeping an eye on Sichuan.

The army in the north can bring weapons home.

The Xiang army in the southeast, although after the drill, needs to return the armor to the warehouse, but at least use real weapons training.

Only the Xiang army in Sichuan (except for the prefectures and counties next to the barbarians), even if they are daily exercises, must use wooden guns and knives.

It is very likely that you have been a soldier in Sichuan all your life, and you have never seen a real weapon until you die!

Civilian weapons are also strictly controlled, and some ministers have suggested that the people of central Sichuan should be prohibited from using simple knives. If you want to ban this thing, you have to ban all the firewood knives and sickles, but fortunately, the emperor's IQ online did not agree.

Huang Yi quickly summoned the Xiang army, and asked the prefectures and counties to recruit township soldiers.

The main force under his command is the non-commissioned officers who are trained with wooden knives and guns......

……

Hanzhong.

Baocheng County was the first to be conquered, and Tushen was still more than ten miles away from the city, so the county order took the lead in abandoning the city and running away, taking his entourage and goods from Baocheng Road.

Xu Fuyan arranged the defenders there, and when he saw that all the officials had fled, he simply raised the city and surrendered.

Xixian took a little effort, and the county order was actually very tough, and he personally went to the city to participate in the defense. He also asked the wealthy families in the city to distribute money and food, and rewarded and encouraged the soldiers and civilians defending the city, which made morale high for a while.

Li Jinyi asked his soldiers to carry small boats and escort the archers to the city.

Using Shi Yuangong's strategy, he wrote dozens of letters of persuasion and surrender, shooting into the city from all angles, and deliberately mentioned the names of several wealthy merchants in the letters.

So the atmosphere was a little tense, and the county magistrate took the initiative to call the rich businessmen to talk, saying that he would never fall for the discord, but secretly sent people to monitor the residences of those rich businessmen.

The wealthy merchants were roasted on the fire, and they were also ordered by the county to distribute money and grain, and they were worried that the thieves would break the city.

Immediately afterwards, Li Jinyi went to shoot arrows and submit books, so that the wealthy merchants in the city raised their fires.

The county magistrate of Xixian County finally couldn't hold it anymore, and ordered several wealthy businessmen and their sons-in-law to be arrested and placed under house arrest in the county office. He also told the family members of the wealthy businessmen that if they repelled the thieves, they would be released immediately, and if there was any abnormality, they would be killed.

Li Jinyi waited for a few days, but there was no movement in the city, so he ordered the withdrawal of troops.

After retreating for thirty miles, they are about to retreat to Xingyuan Mansion City.

The county commander of Xixian County sent people to investigate, and found that the thieves had really retreated, and finally put their minds at ease. He told the soldiers to take turns to defend the city without any slackness, and he went back to the county government to rest.

This county magistrate is not easy, he has always been nervous, and he even sleeps in the city, but now he can finally rest.

And those soldiers and civilians who defended the city, although they were ordered to take turns on duty, all relaxed their vigilance and took the opportunity to be lazy, and they were also nervous these days.

Thirty miles away.

Li Jinyi asked the miscellaneous soldiers to guard the baggage, and said to the only 200 elite soldiers: "Put down the rattan armor, wolf milling and shield, bring the bamboo flying ladder, and kill back with me tonight!" ”

The ship's baggage was removed, and 200 elite soldiers rushed by boat overnight.

At dawn, I returned to the outside of Xixian County, afraid that the sound of paddling would make a noise, so I got off the boat and walked two or three miles in advance.

They carried bamboo ladders and climbed up the city walls. (Bamboo ladder: There is a big bamboo in the middle, and the horizontal is a small bamboo, which is in the shape of "Feng", which is very light and suitable for use in the lower city wall.) ）

"Kill!"

Li Jinyi jumped on the wall first and stabbed to death a sleeping defender.

The shouts of killing sounded, and the rest of the defenders were awakened, and their first reaction was not to fight, but to flee in panic and scream.

West County won.
