Chapter 655: I just don't want to be a minion

Since ancient times, no matter who you are, if you want to lead the crowd to rise up, you must have enough money and food to give your subordinates, the so-called emperor is not bad for hungry soldiers, who has no money to fight with you?

If Bai Sheng wants to control Yanzhou City, he must give certain benefits to the soldiers of the Western Army in Yanzhou, otherwise these people will be willing to rebel with you Bai Sheng with the military salary of the Great Song Dynasty?

In fact, in the eyes of everyone, Bai Sheng's behavior was already a complete rebellion, resisting the holy decree and robbing the New Year's coins, these two acts alone confirmed his crime of rebellion.

Except for the men and women under Bai Sheng, the vast majority of people did not want to rebel against Bai Sheng, because the rebels usually did not end well, since these people would rather die in the battle battle with the Tangut people to eat a bowl of military rations, it shows that they were originally law-abiding and good citizens who feared the imperial power.

But they didn't want to fornicate with the Western Xia, and they didn't want to give up the fruits of victory, they knew that if they made peace with the Western Xia today, it would only be them, the soldiers and civilians in the border areas, who would continue to suffer from the poison of the Western Xia tomorrow, not the emperors and ministers in the court.

Of course, they didn't want to give the money they had saved and the cattle and sheep they had saved to those brutal Western Xia soldiers, but who would be willing to take out their wealth to fund the enemies who bullied them?

They just didn't dare to refuse to carry out the decree. In this era, the status of the prince of heaven and earth is supreme, and the emperor is located under heaven and earth as the "king" among them, but he is more noble and sacred than his father and mother, and the education that people receive from birth is not to despise the imperial power, otherwise they will die an ugly death.

This is Bai Sheng's chance! You don't dare to challenge the imperial power, but I dare Bai Sheng, I just ask you whether to follow or not?

In fact, Bai Sheng doesn't care who he wants to rebel against, as a traverser, in the modern era, he was born to be managed by his parents, and when he went to kindergarten and elementary school, he was managed by teachers and schools, and after graduating from school, he was constrained and governed by the work unit and the state's violent organs, which is no way to do it.

But since I have crossed over, I have come to the Song Dynasty nine hundred years ago, and after a period of time I have practiced the supreme martial arts in the world, and have my own men and territory, why should I still be subservient to someone or an organization? Why do I kneel and lick behind the ass of an emperor?

Zhao Ji was the emperor in the Great Song Dynasty and the son of heaven who patrolled the heavens on behalf of the heavens, but did the people of the Western Xia admit it? Did the people of the Liao country admit it? Do the people of the Jin country admit it? Since the people of the three northwestern provinces, the three northeastern provinces, most of Hebei, and the Mongolian Plateau do not recognize Zhao Ji as the emperor, why should I Bai Sheng be at his mercy? I am not a natural servant, so I can only be a dog!

In Bai Sheng's eyes, the current Xixia people, Liao people, and even Jin people are all an integral part of the great unity of the Chinese nation in the future, and Zhao Ji, who is not recognized by half of China, can be his leader of Bai Sheng? That is nonsense.

In turn, his attitude towards the Tangut, Liao, and Jin people was also different from that of the Song people around him, and his attitude towards these three countries was that people would not offend me, and I would not offend others. If you don't provoke me Bai Sheng, I won't ignore you, but if you infringe on my interests, then resolutely suppress it.

It's like this Western Expedition, he originally came to get medicine for the child in his wife's womb under the guise of the Western Expedition, but who knew that he would make a feud with Li Ruolan, so he would make things bigger and completely destroy Li Ruolan's ambition and foundation.

At this moment, he took advantage of his unparalleled power in Yanzhou City to resist Zhao Ji's holy decree, which can indeed be regarded as a great pleasure, of course, while being very happy, he also wants to win people's hearts, and he must sit on the ground and divide the money! No matter who it is, as long as you take this money, it will not be so easy to break away from me Bai Sheng and return to the Great Song Dynasty.

Of course, if you don't take the money, you're fighting against me, and I'm going to kill you right now.

Almost everyone understands this truth, but there are still people who don't take money, and the first person who doesn't take money is the Tao of the Planter.

In the eyes of the teacher, Bai Sheng's behavior at this time is certainly the desire of the people and the army, but after all, the teacher is unknown, and he is clearly labeled as a thief and a thief. Taking his money is tantamount to declaring that he has completely betrayed the Great Song Dynasty, how can he, a famous general who has served the Great Song Dynasty for generations, join the rebellious army so easily?

But at the same time, he also understood that from the moment Qin Hui angrily left the Yan'an Mansion, he had at least been regarded by Qin Hui as Bai Sheng's accomplice, and it was basically impossible to clear his name, but he would rather be executed by the emperor than publicly betray Zhao Song, which is the ethics or obsession of the so-called Confucian generals in this era.

It's just that he didn't publicly give Bai Sheng a step down, because he knew that if he openly opposed Bai Sheng, Bai Sheng would inevitably kill him to set an example, and hardcore subordinates like Han Shizhong and Shangguan Jiannan would be executed.

He adopted a more tactful way, only saying that he had been in Yanzhou for many years, and his family had a lot of savings, so he didn't need to take an extra windfall, and asked Han Shizhong to share his share with his soldiers.

Bai Sheng could guess the mind of the seed master, so he didn't force it, and more or less saved face for the old seed leader, and immediately announced that he would reward the three armies, of course, what he rewarded was not the three armies of Western Xia outside the city, but the Western army in Yanzhou City.

He not only wanted to reward the western army, but also to appease the people, not only distributed the gold and silver snatched from Qin Hui to the soldiers, but also took out a large amount of silver tickets, let Liang Hongyu take the money to exchange and distribute it to every household in the city.

Not only did they not collect harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, but they gave money to the common people, who would not love such a monarch? The people of Yanzhou City were eager for Bai Sheng to ascend the throne as emperor now, and to live with such an emperor, and they would wake up with a smile in their dreams.

After the feast overnight, the next day Bai Sheng began to intervene in the reorganization of the Western Army, regrouping Han Shizhong, Yang Keshi, Shangguan Jiannan and Wang Jin's subordinates after disrupting them, and at the same time announcing the task of going out of the city early in the morning of the day after tomorrow, vowing to eliminate the main force of Western Xia outside the city.

Regardless of whether Li Ruolan releases Hu Sanniang back as scheduled, he must eradicate the Western Xia, a capable army, otherwise the territory he has taken will never be stable enough.

Not to mention that Bai Sheng was fighting hard in Yanzhou City, it is only said that Qin Hui came to the Xixia military camp with apprehension and empty hands, but he was unexpectedly treated as a guest by Li Ruolan and was warmly received by Li Ruolan.

Li Ruolan not only arranged a feast to entertain Qin Hui, but also personally accompanied the wine, doing her best to be charming and seductive, Qin Hui, like the vast majority of literati in the world, originally had a romantic and lustful nature, where could she resist the temptation of Li Ruolan, who was as beautiful as a fairy, and became Li Ruolan's guest that night.

Early the next morning, Li Ruolan personally saw Qin Hui off, not to send him back to Yanzhou, but to send him to Huanzhou. Li Ruolan's intention was to let him go to Xingqing Mansion via Huanzhou to inform Tong Guan of Bai Sheng's rebellion, and let Tong Guan move to Yanzhou to quell the rebellion.

Bai Sheng would not obey Zhao Ji's will, Li Ruolan had long known this, since she and Bai Sheng bathed together in the Tianshan Hot Spring and found the blank holy decree from Bai Sheng's body, she knew that Bai Sheng had a rebellious heart. After a few clouds and rains, she told Qin Hui about Bai Sheng's various rebellious behaviors.

To solve the current predicament faced by Western Xia, we must first get rid of Bai Sheng, the stumbling block, the Great Song Emperor has already sent a peace envoy, and you Bai Sheng will continue to fight against Western Xia, which is really unbearable.

Since the three armies of Western Xia are no longer able to fight against Bai Sheng, why not use the Great Song Dynasty to get rid of him?

Although she has never seen Zhao Ji, Li Ruolan can figure out the thoughts of any emperor. Normally, as the king of a country, he would rather be bullied by a foreign country than let his subjects rebel against him.

If you want to go outside, you must first settle inside, this is the consistent purpose of the monarchs of all dynasties, whether Zhao Ji is virtuous or mediocre, there will be absolutely no exception on this issue.
