The First Champion Chapter 496
Zhang Shuye knew that he was a local snake in the south of the Yangtze River, and he didn't know how many disciples he had under the head of the Daoist Temple.Most of the information he knew was accurate. Yin Muhong specifically mentioned this point in his letter. The spies in the Captain's Mansion were all over the place, so they naturally knew where the water in Jiangnan was deep and where it was shallow.This is also the purpose of his visit here halfway.
"Refugees are hard to control. It's better to block their source. Refugees are like water. The Maitreya Sect is just a ditch, and its source is in the famous families in the south of the Yangtze River." Daoist Zhijing said frankly: "Every wealthy and famous family has a hard-to-lose foundation, and there must be a nest. Destroy one place, It is worse than exterminating one hundred thousand refugees."
"As long as there are wealthy families who contribute money and support behind them, hundreds of thousands of refugees will gather, and it will only be a flick of a finger."
Zhang Shuye got up, bowed deeply, and said, "Xie Daoist for pointing out the maze."
Chapter 562 The First Trial of Sharpness, Destruction
As soon as Song Jiang arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, across the river, he saw ships on the river like clouds.
In the distance, a lucky boat came galloping, splashing countless layers of waves and hitting the embankments on both sides.
After a while, the blessing boat stopped by the river, lowered the deck from above, and a big man jumped down.
"Could it be my brother Wu Erlang?" Song Jiang stretched out his hand, and the big man's expression brightened, and he rushed over with a grin.
Wu Song was tall and tall. He had a long beard under his chin since he was arrested. He looked dignified, but there was a deep and long scar at the corner of his eyebrow, which made his expression a bit more sinister.
When ordinary people see such a big man, they probably have to avoid him, not because of his heart, but because of the normal avoidance reaction of people to danger, just like when you see a puppy on the street, no one will hide, but they are willing to fight with a tiger. A scattered one is rare.Even a tiger that knows it won't bite will inevitably make people feel scared. Wu Song is such a figure.
Standing in front of Song Jiang, two heads taller, Hua Rong on both sides also muttered: "What a big bird."
"This time, we must take down this group of rebels for the imperial court, so that the world can know that our brothers have both loyalty and righteousness." Song Jiang laughed.
A person like Wu Song is a soldier king wherever he goes. In addition, he was recommended by Song Jiang, the envoy of the Privy Council, and has a strong background.He scratched his head and said with a smile: "I learned that it was Brother Gongming who came to command the troops, so I specifically asked Commander Wu to bring these ships to transport the troops. This time I can follow my brother, even if I die in battle, I will be happy." .”
"Where is Erlang talking, the mere rebellion, how can we hurt our brother, please tell the story on the boat, I will introduce Hua Rong to you, this is also my good brother."
At the port, the well-trained new troops of the Beijing camp boarded the troop carriers of the South China Sea Navy one by one, and their horses were also specially transported by horse boats.
"The rebels are gathered in the Hangzhou area. They want to repeat Fang La's retrograde and take Hangzhou first." Song Jiang said with a smile: "Idiots are dreaming, pack up the soldiers and horses tomorrow, eat enough food, feed the horses, and kill them in the first battle." Get back to your original form."
In the Hangzhou area, a large number of rebels gathered. Originally, they had some military discipline, and they were counting on preaching to gain people.
But as the team grows, there is no bottom line, the army's military discipline is extremely corrupt, the places it passes are in ruins, and countless women have been raped to death.
Their deeds forced more desperate people to join the rebels. From a kind-hearted people who had been bullied, they transformed into beasts of the same kind and began to harm other kind-hearted people.They became cruel in order to survive, and became shameless because they didn't know how long they could live because of the bleak future. It was a vicious circle, full of corruption.
This is already a typical thieves. In the late Ming Dynasty, they were dragged down by these people, exterminating one after another. Fortunately, the people today are not as desperate as they were in the late Ming Dynasty.
After the Secretary of General Administration began to preach, many people knew the dangers of religious belief, and the governor of Jingchu Wang Ji and Jiangnan Zhang Shuye dispatched troops in time, and the situation was brought under control.
In the camp of the rebels, Wang Jingang's complexion was cloudy and he was extremely irritable.
It was agreed to take Hangzhou together, but there was not even a single figure of Mingjiao soldiers and horses on the other side of Dongting Lake.
The soldiers in the camp were all dazed and numb.They can't see where the future lies, but when they hear the sound of drums and horns, they rush up excitedly, kill the common people, and take advantage of the women of the rich gentry's family to rob gold, jewels and jade.
In the distance, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes. Wang Jingang killed people without blinking an eye, and his heart was as hard as a stone. However, after all, he was just messing around in the rivers and lakes, so he didn't have the ability to command and fight.
He was not a natural general like Fang Qifo or Yao Pingzhong, and he didn't set up any sentry posts at all. He flocked to Hangzhou, thinking that breaking the city of Hangzhou would be like a vendetta in Jianghu.
Nearly 10,000+ rebels, including many old and weak women and children, struggled to hold a hoe.
Wang Jingang's heart beat like a drum, he raised his eyes and saw a large group of people rolling out like a tide on the distant horizon.
The red tassels on the heads of the new troops in the Beijing camp followed the heaving and falling of the horses, like a sea of flames, and the sound of rolling hooves made the ground tremble slightly.
"Take up your weapon and kill a few civilians, and you'll be considered a sergeant." With a stern expression, Yang Yizhong pulled out the bow from his waist, and set it on his horse to shoot an arrow.
Outside the rain of arrows, there is the shining sun of weapons and armor, and it is the dust and smoke rolled up by the hooves of war horses.
Among the dust and smoke rolled up by the Wanjun, a large banner with Song characters was erected high up. As expected, the new army of the Beijing Camp had only been repaired for a day, and then rushed outside the city of Hangzhou.
The defenders in Hangzhou City, seeing the reinforcements from outside, were also ready to go out of the city to wipe out the enemy.
After a round of charging, the situation on the battlefield can only be described as chopping melons and cutting vegetables.
The Hangzhou officials on the top of the city were stunned. Is this the new Beijing army that the imperial court has been hiding for a year?
Yang Lin painstakingly crafted the ferocious soldiers and horses to deal with the Jurchens in the extremely cold place. When they came to the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, they were like cutting tofu with a dragon-slaying knife.
The sound of wailing, the sound of killing, the fine cavalry chasing after the horse, and the thieves fleeing in all directions.
These people have made such a great momentum in the south of the Yangtze River that they are vulnerable to a single blow!
The rebels who had been fighting for half a month were killed and fled in just one battle.
On the ground, there was a mass of mobs kneeling on the ground, their hands raised above their heads, and their miscellaneous weapons thrown aside. Although they no longer resisted, the number of them was too large, which still slowed down the speed of the cavalry's pursuit.
Wang Jingang and others fled desperately under the protection of several cronies.
His operation is good, it is a standard uprising template, but it is a pity that he met Da Song who had reached the peak of force.
It is needless to say what kind of ruthless people he has under him for a powerful official who relied on the strength of the army and forced the palace to seize power in the "peaceful and prosperous age" governed by civilian officials.
Halberds were smashed everywhere outside the city of Hangzhou, and it was not uncommon for a Song army to escort hundreds or thousands of captives.
At the same time, Zhang Shuye led people to search from state to county.Kill the local gentry who support the bandits, and eliminate the economic backing of the bandits from the root.
At this time their ally, the Dongting Lake rebels, was heading to Dali to rescue the so-called Xiao Ming Wang.
The Little King Ming, whom the Ming Cultists have been thinking about, is now following the great enemy of the Ming Cult, Yang Tianning, trying to grow into a qualified little man.
On the Dali side, Fang Qifo was able to deal with the Cochin situation with ease. If Yang Shaozai hadn't asked the Cochin people to kill each other and Da Song was the last to appear on the stage, he would have reached Shenglong City long ago.
Knowing the chaos in Jingchu and Jiangnan, Fang Qifo sent Yang Tianning with his spy battalion and [-] black barbarian soldiers to the north to support the bandits.
The vigorous Jiangnan Jingchu Rebellion, anticlimactic, reduced to one-sided liquidation and pursuit.It is conceivable that these two wealthy provinces will usher in a major reshuffle in the future.
Local turmoil and corruption are inevitable. After all, those who support the rebels are rich and powerful families who occupy most of the local resources.Fighting against these people will not be easier than defeating the rebels head-on, and it may be a difficult process.
Jiangnan was flattened in the first battle, and the next step was to eliminate the remnants of the people, but unexpectedly pushed Yang Lin's reputation to a new height.
Whether it is the princes of Bianliang or the people everywhere, they are all amazed at the prosperity of the Song Dynasty.Fangla in the south of the Yangtze River has been making trouble for several months, breaking down six prosperous state capitals in the south of the Yangtze River, killing officials without count, and abusing hundreds of thousands of people.
When they arrived at Wang Jingang, the fire was extinguished as soon as it started, and the fighting power of the imperial guards in the Beijing camp was instantly spread as miraculous.Especially the people in Bianliang, decorate with lanterns and festoons like New Year's Eve, celebrating the bravery of the soldiers.You must know that this hearty victory over the people of Bianliang, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, was like rain after a long drought.In previous years, when the generals of the Song Dynasty defeated the Hu people in archery on New Year's Day, they would be drowned out by the cheers of mountains and tsunamis.
This kind of situation of hating it for a long time and not fighting for it, and the whole people rejoicing after a little achievement, it is a bit distressing to think about it carefully.It's like the Chinese football of later generations. He was scolding vigorously on weekdays. Suddenly one day, he accidentally killed you and killed the United States suddenly, and won a World Cup...
When did we become so powerful?
After Yang Shaozai seized power...
Chapter 563 The first signs of a big hand
Outside the city of Hangzhou, although several major cities have not been breached, the surrounding villages have long been dilapidated.
