Chapter 19: The Rebellion Resumes
Since Yu Jue's death, Sichuan Shu seems to have calmed down for a while.
Under the operation of Lu Wende, Yu Xing also became the Sichuan envoy as he wished.
Since he took office, the government has also begun to redefine the fields and recruit the people, and those who once hid in the deep mountains and old forests have also moved out one after another, returned to the city, and started a new life.
But underneath this peaceful life, there is a torrent hidden.
No, since Zhao Kui returned to his hometown due to Yu Jue's death, Uncle Xie Fang also took the position and began to rectify the forbidden army.
After the previous Mongol war, the ministers of Lin'an also saw that the forbidden army in Korea and China was overwhelmed and difficult to resist the Mongol army, so they re-mentioned the matter of organizing and training a new army.
This will naturally lead to a shock in the government and the opposition, and the people will fall into panic because of this.
Those who were passive and slacking off in the war against Mongolia were naturally unlucky, but those who had made meritorious achievements were also hiding evil intentions, and planned to take advantage of this time to promote their cronies and suppress their political enemies.
No, Yu Xing also began to rely on the support of Lin'an, and began to clean up the thorns under his command, especially Liu Cheng, who was a northerner, and he was really a thorn in his eye and flesh.
Luzhou.
This place is located in the transition zone between the southern edge of the Sichuan Basin and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and the terrain is low in the north and high in the south. Because it is the confluence of the Tuojiang River and the Yangtze River, it is rich in rice and is famous as the land of fish and rice.
Since the Chengdu Mansion paid tribute to Yu Jue, Liu Cheng led Yu Xing's order to move here.
Previously, because of the war between Mongolia and Song, this place was also full of war, the city was almost abandoned, and the people had already fled into the mountains in order to escape the war.
Since Liu Quan moved here, on the one hand, he cracked down on the bandits entrenched in this place, and on the other hand, he also built a city to gather the people.
But today, his face was dull, and he stepped into the mansion with great displeasure.
"What's wrong, father?" Liu Heng saw his father's serious expression, and felt a little nervous for a while, and opened his mouth to ask.
He is Liu Quan's eldest son, and he has followed Liu Cheng since he was born, and he is even more familiar with martial arts, so he was assigned by Liu Quan to train his soldiers.
Liu Cheng slapped the table, and with a "bang", the table shattered, and the entire government shook three times, and shouted: "Didn't Yu Xing get it?"
"Yu Xing, is he the newly appointed Sichuan envoy, what did he do to make his father so angry?" Liu Heng said secretly, and hurriedly asked.
Since he moved here, he has often seen his father cursing that Yu Xing, but he has always been forced down by various things and has never had a seizure. Today, such a performance is too rare.
Liu Cheng said: "That guy wants me to collect 3,000 stones of rice millet and 1,000 quintals of tea from this place." You say, where do I get so many things?"
"So much!" Liu Heng was stunned.
Subsequently, the third son, Liu Jun, had a difficult face, shook his head and replied: "With the current production in the county, the rice millet is only 1,000 stones, and the tea is only 300 quintals at most. We can't afford to pay so much tax all of a sudden. ”
"I also mentioned it to that guy. But the guy took out the scale book of the old days, and said that I was cheating? He didn't want to think that this place was destroyed by the Mongols, and that there were less than one ten people in the city, and even many of the fields were wasted. How is it possible to return to the old state in a short period of time?" Liu Cheng could not hide the anger in his chest and shouted loudly.
Liu Heng was stunned for a moment, looked at Liu Jun again, and asked, "Can you transfer it from elsewhere?"
"No, I can't. Liu Jun shook his head and replied helplessly: "You also know." Nowadays, Sichuan is in ruins, and there is a shortage of food and people everywhere. For a while, where did you get me to get so much shortfall?"
Liu Cheng couldn't help it, and scolded loudly: "Don't you have to think about it? How is it possible to ask me to pay so many taxes in a short period of time?"
"Father. In my opinion, that guy is purely finding fault, that is, deliberately excluding us. At this moment, a young man walked in from outside the door, not to see that this person was young, but he was burly, with a big waist and a wild boar on his back.
On top of the boar were several arrows, which he had struck down.
With a "bang", the wild boar was thrown into the house, shaking the entire county government and a lot of dust fell on the beam.
The corners of Liu Quan's mouth curled slightly, and he smiled: "Little Huzi, are you back?"
Among these children, if he is the most favorite, there is no one in front of him.
Although Liu Heng is proficient in the art of battle formation, his martial arts are not obvious, Liu Jun is good at the method of mathematics, but his body is weak and difficult to practice.
Only Liu Yu can be civil and martial, and he can be said to be an all-round talent.
"Hmm. Just went up the mountain and killed the wild boar that was destroying the crops. Tonight, let's have a wild boar feast. Liu Yu nodded, looked at the brothers again, and asked, "It's just that what happened between me leaving?"
Liu Quandang immediately explained everything after 1510.
After Liu Yu heard this, he snorted softly with his nostrils facing the sky: "You have been discussing these things for so long? In my opinion, I'm afraid that when we are discussing, others have already begun to sharpen their knives!"
"What do you mean?" Liu Heng's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Liu Gao.
Liu Hao laughed loudly and complained: "In my opinion, we might as well directly reverse the Song Dynasty." ”
"Rebellion?"
Liu Quan's expression was stunned, but when he thought of the treatment he had received, his face immediately turned hideous, and he shouted: "Since Yu Xing doesn't plan to give me a way to live, then I might as well break it myself." Anyway, the world is big, I don't believe that without this Song Dynasty, I won't be able to live?"
With his eyebrows upside down, Liu Cheng reappeared as unruly in the past, swept the three sons in the hall, and asked, "Today, we will turn against his mother." ”
He was originally a soldier of the Jin Dynasty, but later because he was greedy for power, he joined the command of the Song Dynasty.
Now in order to survive for himself, he has defected from the Song Dynasty, and naturally there is no pressure.
Liu Heng's forehead moved slightly, but he was a little worried, and asked, "Even so." But father, you also know that although the Song Dynasty is rotten and incompetent, the rotten ship also has three nails, and we alone can't fight against it at all. Unless we can find foreign help!"
"Foreign aid? That's right. As long as there is foreign help, then we will be safe and sound. Otherwise, it would still be suppressed by the Song Dynasty after all. Liu Jun hurriedly said.
Although he didn't have much affection for the Song Dynasty, he was also very afraid of death, and if he died because of this, it was naturally unacceptable.
Liu Zhengshi frowned and asked, "Foreign aid?" If that's the case, then who do you think it's better for us to turn to?"
"Mongolia!"
Before anyone else could react, Liu Hao had already spoken.
Liu Heng opened his mouth and asked, "Mongolia, isn't it the Red Phoenix Army?"
He had also been in contact with the Red Phoenix Army in private and was deeply impressed by it, so he originally liked the Red Phoenix Army at first.
"Of course it's Mongolia!" Liu Hao shook his head and explained, "You know that too. Although the Red Phoenix Army was not on good terms with Lin'an, in order to fight against the Mongols, they had an agreement with each other, which lasted until today. And if we are under our command, if they are afraid of Lin'an's questioning, I am afraid that they will send us to the Song Dynasty. In this way, isn't it a wolf in the mouth of a tiger?"
Liu Cheng closed his head and replied, "Very good." Then do as you say!"
At this time, he forgot the oath he had made in the Song Dynasty!
