Chapter 484: Fang La is dying
In history, there were indeed Fang Laqi people. Fang La, also known as Fang Thirteen, is a native of Qingxi County, Muzhou, and is an authentic and responsible people, embarking on the road of rebellion, the cause of which is a mountain lacquer garden left by Fang La's ancestors.
Although Fang La was resentful, he didn't dare to attack. At that time, Suzhou and other places were searched for flowers and stones by Zhu Mian, a favorite minister of Song Huizong, for more than ten years, and the people complained. Fang La took advantage of the dissatisfaction of the people to secretly organize the poor and unemployed. and claim to be the man of destiny. Promote Manichaeism as a way to unite these poor people.
In October of the second year of Emperor Xuanhe of Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty (1120), Fang La launched an uprising in Muzhou, calling himself "Shenggong" and "Yongle", setting up officials and generals to establish political power. Soon it occupied Hangzhou, and received many responses, occupying 52 counties in eight prefectures, millions of people revolted, and the government and the opposition were shaken.
It's a pity! A rabble was exterminated by the imperial court within a year.
Despite Liangshan's midway push, the Fangla Group started its army two years ahead of schedule. However, due to preparation, targeted siege and fortification occupy territory. It is no smaller than the territory in the original trajectory, and the total strength under his command is more than 300,000 at the peak, and the battle with the imperial army is fierce, and the two sides have won and lost each other.
Moreover, there were frequent wars everywhere, and there was no attack by Tong Guan and the Western Army as in history. Fang La led an army of 300,000 to fight the Song Dynasty. With the Yangtze River's natural dangers, there have been back and forth, and the rabble has been sharpened. There are also many fierce generals who have fought with the imperial army for two or three years.
Originally, if this development continued, Hedong Tianhu would really die in front. Nai one
More than a year ago, he was caught off guard by a large number of siege equipment such as catapults and bed crossbows by the imperial court, and the loss of important state cities was at a disadvantage.
The second is logistics, which is not as good as the Song Dynasty.
As the saying goes, the human favor thing is reduced a little bit!
This sentence is most suitable for Jiangnan Lap at this moment. The Jiangnan region was turbulent and often fought, and young and strong people were absorbed into the army. In most places, only the elderly, weak, women and children remain, and grain production has been declining sharply year by year.
Even if the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River is very rich, it can't withstand such consumption. When the Fangla group ran out of food, they summoned the Manichaeans to donate money and food to support the needs of the army. But he doesn't have anything to give back to the people,
The big guy is not stupid, and there is no reward for what he does. It's okay to respond to the call once or twice, but many times, who wants to be exploited like this?
In particular, Fang La, a semi-literate person with an upstart mentality, thought that he had become an emperor, built a palace, selected concubines, and engaged in three palaces and six courtyards. The front line fought for life and death, and the rear side of the road lived a rotten life and extravagance.
He still didn't listen to persuasion, and his sister-in-law Fang Baihua and Baoguang Rulai, Deng Yuanjue and other generals repeatedly admonished him. Fang La was unmoved, he still went his own way, the beauty of the wine pond and the meat forest, intoxicated and lived a chic life.
If it's only known by the middle and high-level of the church, it doesn't matter. After all, the two sides know each other, what is the thirteenth of the Holy Prince's side, who doesn't have points in their hearts?
It's just that Emperor Wu worked hard to build a palace and indulged in wine, eating, drinking and having fun. It spread among ordinary people and the general public, and the impact was great. The hearts of the people were lost, and more and more people no longer supported Manichaeism. Unable to bear the harassment of donating money and food, they moved their families to the north or south to take refuge
。
The loss of the people under his command was not alert at the beginning. By the time it was discovered, it was already too late. The amount of food received from the people gradually dwindled until it could no longer sustain the consumption of the army.
Lack of food, become Fang La's talisman!
In fact, as early as half a year ago, there was no need for the imperial court to storm at all. The Fangla group should have collapsed due to lack of food, but Liang Shan intervened to help him hang his life. A large amount of grain and materials were transported by sea, which alleviated the crisis of the collapse of Fangla. At the same time, the weapons and equipment seized from the Wa Kingdom and the Goryeo Kingdom were also sold and reused as waste, making a lot of money.
For Liang Shan, who independently developed and improved weapons and equipment, this is all rubbish. But for the other party's army, it is unwanted, such as a treasure. More than 200,000 people were armed, and their combat effectiveness was greatly enhanced.
In one go, he seized Hangzhou, Mingzhou and other places from the imperial court. Caught off guard, the imperial army was defeated and retreated, and it was difficult to stop the edge. Originally, if this continued, the Fang La group would be in a stalemate with the imperial court for a long time.
However, Fang La is not like the mud on it, and it is still enjoyed by beautiful wines and beauties. His son Fang Tianding is also a bad bird, relying on the identity of the prince, when he was in Hangzhou, it was common for him to oppress the people and rob the people's daughters. I saw that my wife was beautiful, and she forcibly occupied it.
The national teacher Deng Yuanjue repeatedly refused to listen to the persuasion, but was jealous and hated by Fang Tianding. This made the people of Hangzhou panic, and there were many gossips in the army. On a dark and windy night in the moon, a court general named Jin Jie. The city gate was opened to welcome the imperial army into the city, and the city of Hangzhou fell.
In addition to Deng Yuanjue, Li Tianrun and other generals led the team to kill
Out of town. The crown prince Fang Tianding fled in panic and was caught and beaten to death by the angry people. Few of the tens of thousands of troops escaped, and most of them returned to the imperial court.
Wang Yu took this opportunity to lead the team to pretend to be a defeated remnant of the army, deceive the gates of Kaimingzhou, Runzhou and other cities, and the army took the opportunity to enter and recover several important cities again.
In a short period of time, several important cities are gone!
The burial of about 80,000 or 90,000 troops is also a sign of the decline of the Fangla group.
In turn, the imperial court absorbed these rabble, and the army had an absolute advantage. The total strength was at least 300,000, Zhang Jun and Zhao Tan led the army in the center, Wang Yu, Jiangxia Lingling Jiedu made Yang Wen lead an army of 100,000 for the left road.
Longxi Hanyang Jiedu made Li Congji, Langya Pengcheng Jiedu made Xiang Yuanzhen, Qinghe Tianshui Jiedu made Jing Zhong lead 100,000 troops to deploy to the right, and the three-way army marched together, rushing to many cities to encircle and suppress Fangla.
Fang La's army was defeated and retreated, losing the city and losing the land!
Wang Jin had already changed his strategy and didn't want to talk about Fang La's mud anymore. The fine work that was active there collected information, and the caravan or shop would never sell a grain of grain, completely cutting off trade with Fangla.
Because he felt that it was more appropriate for him to attract firepower!
In fact, long before the capture of the overseas Goryeo Kingdom, Yangsan sent an expeditionary fleet with tentacles that stretched out to the two large islands of Ryukyu Yiju and Qiongzhou in the south. First, surveying the terrain and looking for talking indigenous ......
It was not until the capture of Goryeo that the focus gradually shifted to the two islands. Three groups of volunteers composed of Koreans and Japanese people landed on the island one after another. Get in touch with the island's indigenous people, unleash goodwill, and develop the island under their guidance. From the Song Dynasty, the people of Jiangnan migrated to the island of An
Settle in the wilderness.
After more than a year.
The two wilderness know that the appearance has changed greatly, and there are fertile fields everywhere. Every autumn, the rice and wheat are golden and the orchard is fragrant.
Two islands have become logistical supply hubs!
Jiangnan is useless, and after being exterminated, the imperial army will definitely move north.
Wang Jin did not allow these people to disturb the situation, so the four major fleets of Liangshan were all dispatched, and the troops were divided into multiple routes. Raided the imperial court sailors stationed overseas in Quanzhou, Fuzhou, and Guangzhou overnight, and exterminated them with the force of devastation.
Then the Thunder Army, led by the Hundred Battles Army, led three volunteer armies to kill ashore. Xu Guanzhong, Ma Ling, and Qiao Daoqing were dispatched. led the army to divide into three routes, mighty and mighty, sweeping through the Song realm like a tide.
