Chapter 248: The Wind Rises
There was a Song Dynasty, the tax was extremely heavy, far more than the previous dynasty, "those who are caught in the hundred officials, but they are afraid of their insufficiency; those who take wealth from the people, do not leave their surplus", that is, there is such a sentence in "Zhuzi's Language", "The ancients carved and peeled the law, this dynasty is ready." ”
Even Zhu Xi and his disciples said this kind of criticism of the government, which shows how much taxation was in the late Song Dynasty.
Now the traitorous ministers are in charge, the emperor is mediocre, and in the case of extremely serious taxes, he has to use manpower and material resources to engage in what Huashigang, so that he spends countless money and manpower, and countless people are ruined because of Huashigang, and the court officials take the opportunity to collect money and fill their private pockets, and the lower-level officials use this to extort the people and make profits from it.
As a result, the Song Dynasty "the people are poor, the soldiers are weak, the wealth is scarce, and the scholars are shameless".
Throughout the Song Dynasty, during the Chengping period, there were many uprisings of all sizes, if the country was peaceful and peaceful, how could there be so much chaos?
Nowadays, the taxes are so heavy that the common people do not dare to have children, for fear that the burden will be heavier, so a large-scale "infanticide" incident has occurred among the people.
Turning over the history of the Song Dynasty, there is a glorious side, but there is also a dark and bloody side, and many people see the history of the literati, not the history of ordinary people.
The change of winning the country is none other than the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao mutinied, the yellow robe was added, bullied the orphans and widows of the Chai family, and took over the world, and finally feared that others would follow suit, so they suppressed the generals and promoted civilian officials, resulting in a situation where the literary style was extremely prosperous and the force was weak.
In this era, many beautiful things appeared, and these things were recorded by scholars and literati, and the descendants of this dynasty had endless reverie and great favorability.
In his previous life in modern society, Li Xiake once saw a program, which said that a well-known media person in China traveled to India, and had an excellent impression of India.
But when Li Xiake went to India in person, he found that the buddy was a "why not eat minced meat" generation, and the people he came into contact with must be high-level people in India, naturally well-dressed and decently talked, but after walking at the lowest level, you will know that there are many problems in this country, and the life of the people at the bottom and the upper class society can be described as a heaven and an underground, which cannot be said to be the same.
It can be seen that petty bourgeois literati are harmful, they see what is in front of them, and they don't want or can avoid understanding the area outside of sight, so what they leave behind is the song and dance of the upper class, and the records are all drunken fans.
The same is true of the Song Dynasty, too many people beautify this dynasty, so that it gives people the feeling that the Song Dynasty is a paradise for the Chinese people, so as to ignore the displacement and war, and ignore a lot of abnormal things.
Li Xiake was in the middle of it, and he found that this era was not as beautiful as he imagined, with wanderers everywhere, the people were poor, and the situation in the last days was no different from other dynasties.
Whether a dynasty is strong or not depends not on whether the court has money or not, but on whether the bottom is the largest number of peasants, handicraftsmen, and merchants, whether they can eat enough and how they live.
It is an indisputable fact that the Song Dynasty was poor and weak, redundant soldiers, suppressed military generals, and had weak military strength.
If this is heaven, it should be a doctor's paradise, and it has nothing to do with the people.
Now the emperor mobilizes manpower, the whole country to search for strange flowers and stones, to engage in the flower and stone gang, and the strange flowers and stones are more in the south, so the flower and stone gang are also developed from the south of the Yangtze River, regardless of the cost of manpower and then transported to the north, sent to Bianliang, Tokyo, for the emperor and courtiers to play and have fun.
The people of the south suffered greatly from this flower and stone gang, and there were many displaced people, which gave Fang La the opportunity to absorb the disciples, and now the Manichaean congregation led by Fang La has reached as many as 50,000 or 60,000, and has become a behemoth.
During this time, he was preparing to rebel, but was discovered by the imperial court, and now he was ready to send an arrow, and he had to send it, when he raised the army, he sent several people to various places to be lobbyists, and persuaded the local leaders to raise troops in the local area.
In addition to sending Fang Jie, Wang Yin and others to Liangshan, he also sent a few henchmen to Huaixi to find Wang Qing and Hebei to find Tian Hu to discuss the opportunity to raise the army.
Now Shandong Li Xiake, Hebei Tianhu, Huaixi Wang Qing, Jiangnan La, has been known as the four great Kou of this dynasty, among which Li Xiake is the most famous, but also the most weird, just keen on business, but never to the people of the state capital have a sword and soldier, people are afraid, and there is a strange sense of reassurance, it seems that Li Xiake's Liangshan soldiers will not kill the place.
The reason why these people have such ideas is inseparable from the propaganda contingent that Li Xiake personally grasped, and the people in these propaganda contingent are all flexible-minded and articulate people selected by Li Xiake among the soldiers, and there are thousands of men and women, and after receiving a one-year ideological training, they are allowed to go to various parts of the country to do propaganda, with the purpose of erecting a good image for the people of Liangshan Boli.
The so-called popular will is available, as far as the South China Sea, north to Liaojin, east to the Ryukyus, west to the desert border, everywhere is to preach Li Xiake's benevolence and righteousness, Liangshan Bo for the deeds of Tianxingdao.
Compared with the propaganda packaging, a hundred Song Jiang can't catch up with Li Xiake's handwriting, so for example, no one today praises Li Xiake's benevolence and righteousness, but there are a lot of complaints in the rivers and lakes, because Li Xiake's subordinate Erlang, who specializes in gathering people to make trouble, trains his troops with the mountain king who gathers people to make trouble, and no one dares to occupy the mountain and claim the king within a radius of several hundred miles that has been killed.
Liang Shanbo's behavior made the government hate and love, but they did not dare to provoke it, and the two sides formed a strange situation of harmonious symbiosis.
However, unlike Liangshanbo, Huaixi Wang Qing has a huge momentum, shaking the place, and has long attracted the attention of the local government, and has done several games with the imperial court, and has never been defeated.
And Wang Qing of Hebei is also a fierce man, leading his subordinates, repeatedly killing officials, fighting in local battles, and has already entered the eyes and ears of the imperial court.
Only Fang La, whose reputation has always been resounding in the green forest, has never been taken seriously by the imperial court, until this time he gathered a crowd to rebel and was reported, which was discovered by the local government.
Now in order to protect himself, he had to launch an uprising in advance, in Li Xiake's opinion, it was a bit too hasty, and it was estimated that he would have to be crushed to death in less than two years, but if Hebei Tianhu and Huaixi Wang Qingdu echoed together, it was possible to hold out for a few years.
For this kind of uprising group that has no combat program, no long-term plan, no core idea, and no long-term preparation, Li Xiake is too lazy to get involved, so he didn't read the letter Fang La wrote to himself, and directly pushed it back: "I don't need to read this letter, what Sect Leader Fang means, I don't read the letter, and I know what's going on." ”
He looked at Fang Jie and Wang Yin: "Lack of battle planning, only relying on temporary blood, and can't be serious about your own team, your combat nature and durability, as well as loyalty, are not very reliable, and it is unlikely to succeed." ”
Fang Jie's face was angry: "Mr. Li, as the first person in martial arts, you sit on the great foundation of Liangshan, but why do you grow the prestige of the Song Dynasty and destroy the ambition of your fellow Daoists?
Li Xiake shook his head and smiled, and said: "That's it, if you can hold on for three years, I will take action to destroy this court, if you can't even hold it for three years." ”
He thought for a while and said: "My Liangshan can be regarded as your retreat, when the time comes, when you are defeated by the imperial court, you can secretly flee to me, as long as you are not a murderer, you can settle in my Liangshan." ”
Wang Yin looked disappointed and sighed: "Mr. Li, where did you go to Tokyo alone, kill Gao Yu, and shoot Gao Lian? Why are you cowering today, no longer the atmosphere of the past?
Li Xiake smiled and said: "Brother Wang, your radical method is useless to me, how can Li be a good citizen, how can he participate in such a rebellious thing?"
He said with a righteous face: "Li is facing the land of China, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, but he loves it very much, how can he bear to trample on my soil?
Fang Jie said hatefully: "Mr. Li, I admire you so much, but it turns out that you are such a bloodless person!
At the moment, he walked away with Wang Yin, even if he didn't drink a sip of tea.
After the two left, Li Xiake called to Ju Buyi and Hua Rong, and instructed: "Inform Chao Gai and the Ruan brothers, go to the southern island countries and Siam and other places to purchase grain, well, if necessary, send troops to take down these small countries in Siam, as a granary, well, this method is feasible, we will have a meeting tomorrow, and we will discuss it." ”
Ju Buyi was surprised: "Teacher, what happened?"
Li Xia said: "It's going to be windy!"
