Chapter 235: Zhang Yichao Uprising
Since the battle of Ranhou and Jizi Chashan, it has been twenty-five days since the menstrual pinch today.
The general manager of Guangzhou, Chaoyang Zi Youguan, and the Lu Ling Department all led Long Zhizi Wangyun, and they all followed behind Zhang Ya, and their guardian gods Hongyun Goddess and Qingzhu Divine General also followed each other to inspect.
Why did they come with them? Of course, You Guan was concerned about his son's affairs, Wangyun was the handsome of Lu Ling, and he had to ask about all the things of Lu Sheng's spirits.
In the world of selling gods, the four departments of Lu Ling, Water Spirit, Metallographic and Earth are the four major departments of the imperial court, and there are also the Immortal Selling Department and Du Yuhou, and the affairs under their management include all the dealers in the world.
The chief manager of the five major hawker capitals in the east, west, north, south, and middle is the local powerful faction, and he specifically asks about various things in each direction.
At a critical juncture, it shows the authority of the commanders of the DPRK and China, issuing orders at any time and dealing with them in a timely manner.
The bamboo and wood dealer looked at the clouds to see the situation, and said: "The goddess of Hongyun will go to inspect the situation of You Tong and Anzhi, the god of green bamboo shoots will go to inspect the situation of Huang Zhao and Huang Yi's family, and the queen bee of Chixian County will go to inspect the situation in Shazhou. ”
The three gods departed. Zhang Ya led You Guan and Wangyun to his Yuan Honey Palace, and the bee boy Xiaoxian, who was responsible for sprinkling the cleaning of the court, came to brew ginger honey water.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the goddess of Hongyun, the god of green bamboo shoots, and the queen bee of Chixian County returned to the Yuanmi Palace one after another to report the details. It turned out that Zhang Xiong of Shazhou revolted, drove out the Tibetan garrison, and restored the rule of the Tang Dynasty.
It involves all kinds of wealthy merchants, Longyou and heroes from all walks of life in Anxi, You Tong, An Zhi, and Huang Zhao are involved in this way, not to mention the five elders of Khotan, the twelve heroes of Liaohuang and many other heroes.
A few days ago, after the battle between the Emperor and Jizi, twenty-five years have passed in the world.
As early as the third year of Changqing (823) of Li Heng of Muzong of the Tang Dynasty to the second year of Dazhong (848) of Li Chen of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. In the middle, after two years of Jingzong Li Zhanbao, nine years of Wenzong Li Angtaihe and five years of Kaicheng, and six years of Wuzong Li Yan Huichang.
The flooding of the sandbank that the gods saw occurred in August of the second year of Dazhong.
At this time, it is the time when the gods of the heavenly realm pinch the scriptures.
This flooded army was a 5,000-strong army led by Song Chen, the assassin of Wuzhou, and his wife Wei Qi. They were a strong force that went to cooperate with Zhang Xiong's Shazhou rebels in the name of the imperial court.
In the first month of this year, Zhang Xiong of Shazhou raised a rebellion, gathered 6,000 men and horses, and entered the city of Liaohuang, the seat of Shazhou, to drive out the Shazhou Jiedu envoy of Tubo.
While the rebels were fighting fiercely with the Tibetan soldiers, the Tang dynasty and the heroes in the city all responded in drove, automatically cooperating with the rebels to kill the Tibetan soldiers. The rebels cooperated with the heroes and quickly defeated the Tibetan soldiers in the city and occupied Shazhou City.
The Tang dynasty in Shazhou City is Zhang, Li, Suo three major clans, led by the heroine Zhang Yun, Suo Jiao, and the heroic Li Chong, bringing more than 2,000 people from the three clans to the street, each performing peerless martial arts, giving Zhang Xiong great support.
Zhang Yun, Suo Jiao, and Li Chong are all Zhang Xiong's sworn brothers, which will be explained below.
Wangyun asked the queen bee of Chixian County: "Song Chen is the master of Zhizhi when he was appointed as the commander of Wei County, how did he become the assassin of Wuzhou? Wei Qi is the wife of Zhizhi in the Xuantian Mirror, how did he become Song Chen's wife?"
The queen bee of Chixian County replied: "Song Chen was resigned, he was angry and tried to be strong, he was admitted to the Jinshi, and he made military exploits, and he has been a general until now." Wei Qi was suspended and seriously ill for three years. After that, he found Song Chen, asked for a place to stay, and became Song Chen's concubine. As for becoming Song Chen's wife, it is a plan to change her face. ”
The bamboo and wood seller looked at the clouds and was very curious: "What kind of makeover?"
The queen bee of Chixian County said: "After all, Wei Qi cooks the Song family very well, and Song Chen is unwilling to marry her as a wife, lest it affect the family business." After experiencing Chen Zhe's dismissal once in this life, it is cold enough, and he does not dare to make any mistakes. And what's going on with his makeover?"
Song Chen discussed with Wei Qi, learned from Yang Yuhuan's old example, and asked Wei Qi to first become a monk and become a female crown, and then entered the Taoist register, and since then Wei Qi's concubine status has been cancelled and she has been accepted as a concubine. gave outsiders the impression that Wei Qi was suspended for the second time.
Wei Qi was still vulgar after three years as a female champion, and in Pandi County, Wuzhou, where Song Chen was guarding, she was married by Song Chen, but didn't she become Song Chen's wife?
Zhang Ya, the god of nectar sellers, praised: "Oh, it seems that Song Chen is indeed a righteous gentleman, and Wei Qi has such a good ending." ”
The queen bee of Chixian County replied: "Yes, Song Chen and Wei Qi have shown their skills since then, and have been active in Wuzhou for twenty or thirty years. became the nail that Datang firmly nailed to Longyoudao, and watched every move of Tubo and the party members. ”
As early as the year when Wei Qi was accepted as a concubine, the three daughters and one son born to the ex-wife of Shi Songchen, the then governor of Wuzhou, had all grown up, and the marriage had been completed.
After being matched, in the twelfth year of Xianzong Yuanhe (817), the eldest daughter Song Key, who was twenty years old at the time, married Zhang Xiong, the son of the eighteen-year-old wealthy Zhang family in Shazhou.
Xishuai Zhang Ya looked at the queen bee of Chixian County and asked, "What's the matter with this Zhang Xiong? How can he launch the Shazhou uprising?"
Chixian Queen Bee replied: "Zhang Xiong, the word is the tide, the ancestors have been Shazhou generals for several generations, and after generations of reproduction, the Zhang family has become a wealthy clan of the Shazhou Ding family." He grew up under the tyranny of the Tibetan people and suffered a lot. ”
In the 180 years since the Anshi Rebellion, the 18 states of Longyou, except for Wuzhou (Jiezhou), which the Tang Dynasty intermittently fought for control, the 17 states of Guayixishan, Hekuo Shagan, Dietao Sulan, and Danmin Qin Chengwei have fallen into the rule of Tubo.
This son is young and chivalrous, and his ambitions are very great, and he worships those martial arts masters everywhere, studying Sun Wu and Bai Qi hard, and vows to restore the Longyou states. Since the age of 14, he has visited the 18 prefectures of Longyou, where he has fought viciously with local young heroes, and then married as brothers, accumulating strength for the future.
By the time he was eighteen years old, all the eighteen states of Longyou had Zhang Xiong's sworn brothers. There are between three and twelve people in each state, and the names of the righteous are all a few males in a certain state.
For example, when he arrived in Hezhou, he married eight brothers, and he was called the Eight Heroes of Hezhou. There are more than 60 of his righteous brothers in the eighteen states of Longyou, all of whom are strong generals.
This year, Zhang Xiong is 49 years old, and when the Shazhou Uprising was held, his sworn brothers have been tempered for more than 30 years, and they have all multiplied into wealthy families in various places, so they responded in groups. There are fierce battles everywhere, and everyone has to return to the arms of the Tang Dynasty.
When Xishuai Zhang Ya heard this, he muttered a little, and then asked: "If you achieve great things, it is difficult to support them alone." I'm afraid it won't work by relying on those righteous brothers, how did thousands of troops come about?"
The queen bee of Chixian County said: "The Shazhou uprising and the uprisings in Longyou states for several months mainly have three main characters. ”
The first is the heroic and righteous people. Zhang Xiong's brother who formed a righteous rebellion as a young man, this force is the main general in various places.
The second is a famous family. Through the intricate relationship between the righteous brothers, it goes without saying that they have made friends with famous families in Shazhou, and there are also local heroes in various states.
The third is Buddhism and monks. The influence of Hexi Buddhist believers is extremely huge, and although the leading monk Hong Wei was awarded the "Zhishi Gate Law and Regency Professor" by Tubo, he is far away from his homeland and is willing to be the emperor.
As the master of the Tubo Dynasty, why was Hong Wei able to support Zhang Yichao's uprising?
Hong Wei's common surname is Wu, and his mother is Nanyang Zhang, who is of the same clan as Zhang Yichao. This is one of them.
Then there is Wu Xuzhi, the father of Hong Bian, who is the general of Longyou who has made great achievements in the Tang Dynasty. The Anshi Rebellion broke out, and Ge Shuhan, a famous general who fought against Tubo, was transferred to quell the rebellion and took away many strong soldiers from Longyou and the Western Regions. Tubo took advantage of the situation to use troops to compete for the vast territory of Longyou and the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty.
His father Wu Xuzhi led the remnants to resist to the death, and finally retreated to Shazhou with the commander because of the lack of soldiers. Their force held on to Shazhou for 120 years before it finally fell.
Therefore, although Hong Wei is the leader of Buddhism, he has Tang Ting in his heart. The monks of Longyou were martial and vigorous, Zhang Yichao Shazhou uprising, and the Shazhou monks joined the righteous army under the support, organization and leadership of Hong Bian. The Tibetan army suddenly collapsed, and Shazhou returned to the embrace of the Tang Dynasty after being invaded and occupied by the Tibetans for 60 years.
Zhang Xiong's father-in-law, Song Chen's family in Wuzhou, has also become a wealthy family in the neighboring Wuzhou area, not to mention, it must be Zhang Xiong's very powerful Tang court reinforcements.
Song Chen is a close friend of Chen Zhe in the past, and the two are equal in resourcefulness. Although there was a scene of fornication, this person will not be buried. As we have already seen, after Chen Zhe resigned from the county lord of Wei, he worked hard to obtain the Jinshi, and then used his martial arts to get promoted repeatedly.
At this time, Chen Zhe's ex-wife Wei Qi became Song Chen's wife, and she desperately made the Song family's family business prosperous, vowing to let her ex-husband show her ability.
Zhang Ya, the general manager of Chengdu, the western selling capital, paced around in his Huaxu Wonderland Yuanmi Palace, and asked, "What happened when I saw You Tong, An Zhi, and Huang Zhao flying horses running away just now?"
The queen bee of Chixian County said: "They are in Song Chen's team, and An Zhi is the giant merchant who helped Song Chen to send troops to Shazhou this time." ”
Due to the fact that the Zhulu feudal towns outside the imperial court had already been divided, a very small number of Gyeonggi important areas and Henan, Huainan, and Jiangnan Jiezhen towns were still paying taxes, and the Tang court had very limited taxes in the west, north, Hebei, Qiannan, and Lingnan feudal towns.
Coupled with the power of the eunuchs of the imperial court, whenever there was a war in the Tang court, it could only rely heavily on rich businessmen to help the army.
Chaoyangzi You Guan, the governor of Guangzhou, the southern selling capital, was very interested in his daughter-in-law's actions, and asked the goddess Hongyun: "Why can An Zhi help Song Chen's army? What has happened in the past 25 years?"
The goddess of Hongyun said: "Time flies like a white horse. In the past, the Taoist chief of Lixi once whispered to Huang Yi, saying that An Zhi had a fortune in an instant, and he would be a god thirty years later. The old man in the west is really good at physiognomy and can see it very accurately. Let's start with the meeting at the Gonghu Mansion in Anyang County, Laba Hui that year. ”
At that time, Hou Wenlie and Sanhuang of Changyang, Jun Anzhi of Wuning County, Li Jing of Liyang and other people followed Hu Zhen. In Hu Zhen's mansion, Hu Zhen's eldest son, Hu Quan, is naturally courteous to this beautiful sister-in-law.
An Zhi also admired Hu Quan's way of management, she and Huang Yao, Huang Zun, and Huang Tong's three brothers came to Hu Mansion specifically to learn from experience, how to make the oil business bigger?
After all, Hu Zhen is the first person in my Tang Dynasty Wanguan to help the army, and he was awarded the title of duke. Don't say that it is not easy to earn this 10,000 yuan of money, the kind of move of pouring money for a friend like Xue Ping, how many businessmen in the world have such courage?
It is precisely because of this strategy that the treasures of the Western Regions will be operated.
Who doesn't know that after the Anshi Rebellion, Longyou Road and Anxi Protectorate have successively become the territory of Tubo, and the road between the Western Regions and the Central Plains has long been blocked. How many others dare to take this route to traffic goods?
Not to mention the trafficking of rare treasures, I am afraid that the capital will be lost even if it is robbed.
The courage and strategy of others are not something that can be learned if you want to. Without in-depth communication, just look at appearance, flatter, eat and drink, and tout, you can't even learn a skin.
The goddess Hongyun asked, "Did An Zhi and Sanhuang learn anything from Hu Zhen during this visit?"
