Chapter 251 National Events
In July, the Yangping football match began. At the same time, in northern Song, the Song and Liao armies had temporary peace. However, the relationship between Liao and Jin was tense. The new Grand Marshal of the Liao army, Yelu Chun, assembled heavy troops in Tongzhou and launched a large-scale attack on Huanglong Mansion, pushing the front line to twenty miles of Huanglong Mansion. While Liao was advancing and reopening the war, the Song army stopped. Yelu Dashi, who restored freedom and lost the marshal, strongly demanded attention to the Song army. He believed that only the Song army had the strength to attack Tongzhou and even Linhuang Mansion.
The Liao Dynasty also attached great importance to Yelu Dashi's opinion, so it placed 200,000 troops on the ground from Jinzhou to Tongzhou. However, there were only 70,000 people from Tongzhou to Huanglong Mansion. The Liao Kingdom did not have all cold weapons. Although the Song gunpowder weapons were used similarly, there were also imitations. Due to immature technology and limitations of gunpowder processing, heavy artillery could not be produced, but there were still hand-draft cannons for key equipment.
Grenadiers gradually became the main force and ace of the two armies, which was a signal of the transition from cold weapons. They were good at playing swords and begging until they were old. Both armies attached great importance to the firearm equipment of the army, but the economic situation of the Liao Kingdom was not optimistic. Due to the increase in taxes, the herdsmen who were rarely born in Liao rebelled in Longhua Prefecture. The herdsmen killed the tax collectors and then fled into the mountains. Many people responded and gathered in the mountains. They also contacted the Song Imperial Army. This news made the Liao court very uneasy. At everyone's suggestion, the court decided to borrow troops from the tribes. Most of these tribes were tribes from Western Liao that were still in a slave society. But they had a great advantage. Their soldiers were good at riding and shooting, very brave, and retained the martial style of the Khitans two hundred years ago.
Song and Liao were all adjusting their strategies and dispatching troops. The Jin Kingdom was not idle either. They also changed a general, which was Wanyan Zongbi, the deputy marshal in charge of Jinnan. Wanyan Zongbi was dismissed and realized that Ouyang had more evil hands in Yin. Because he really killed someone and sent the body to the body as Ouyang said, Jin Liao opened fire. He was impeached by Zonghan, who had always been dissatisfied with him, and he lost his military power. Of course, if he did not do what Ouyang said, it might be even more annoying. Who knows? The fact is the fact. Wanyan Zongbi had reason to suspect that the Song people wanted to land in the southern waters of the Jin Dynasty. However, in response to this statement, the younger brother Wanyan Zongqiang, who took over, was very dissatisfied. Can you guard it, I can't?
Tong Guan didn't expect that Ouyang's series of schemes would have such a good effect. This was not a conspiracy, but an open conspiracy. Using their conflicting relationships to sow relations between the two countries, they knew that there was a problem, but they could only suffer a loss. Of course, you can also explain to the public, but compared to the powerless explanation, it is better to jump to the trap even if you know it.
Just like in a war, I told you that there is an ambush, but you can do it, but it will take several days to go. If you want to hurry up, you can only break through the ambush and surround and jump into the trap.
Tong Guan was overjoyed when he heard that Wanyan Zongbi was replaced. To attack the Jin Kingdom, Huanglong Mansion must be taken, but Huanglong Mansion was originally a military center of Liao. Wanyan Aguda only took it with tricks. The Jurchens have been operating for many years, and it is even easier to defend and difficult to attack. The Jurchens are weaker, which is the sea area. Landing from the southern part of the Jurchens is a relatively easy strategy to succeed in dealing with the Jurchens. Most people think that Song did not dare to go to war on both sides, but Tong Guan has been in Hebei for so many years and is very clear about the grudges of Liao and Jin. He believes that the most amazing thing between the two countries is that they do not go to war with each other and cannot fight together.
...
When Tong Guan adjusted his strategy and submitted an approval report, he did not know that there was a big trouble in the Song Dynasty. This trouble came from a small matter that Zhao Yu said. It was Zhong Xiang of the Great Sage. Zhang Xuanming, who handled this matter quietly. However, no one expected that the wife of the Dingzhou magistrate was actually a believer of the Mutual Aid Association. The news leaked, Zhong Xiang Yang Mo swung his pole to revolt or violently*. Xun led the believers to occupy Wuling and defeated Zhang Xuanming's army.
They burned officials, cities, temples, temples and noble families, killed officials, Confucian scholars, monks, Taoists, witch doctors, divine Zhu and those who have grudges. They set killing officials as practice laws, and divided their property equally. They denied the law of Song State as evil laws. Anyone who participated in the uprising army was exempted from tax and tax disbursement and was not bound by the judicial ordinances. These propositions and actions were enthusiastically supported by the people and believed to be "natural principles."
The war quickly affected Tanzhou, dividing the land, fighting the local tyrants, dividing the family property, killing enemies, and exempting taxes. Driven by such real benefits, the peasants who had already had class conflicts and were oppressed quickly responded. Within a month, the uprising affected more than a dozen counties, and Dongting Lake became their base. During this period, the uprising encircled and suppressed the uprising, but all ended in failure.
"Zhong Xiang proclaimed himself the King of Chu, Zhong Zi'ang was the crown prince, and he also sent officials from first-rank second-rank to ninth-rank official positions." After reading the news, Ou Ping asked: "Young Master, Sister Huilan asked if the news is asked, why?"
"No." Ouyang was backstroking in the swimming pool and thought for a while, saying, "This kind of thing is annoying."
The business associations of several states suffered heavy losses, and they became the first targets to be attacked. The money house was fine, but the money house immediately burned and destroyed all the inventories. The economy of these states was not sufficient, so there was not much gold and silver reserve. But the rich family suffered. Needless to say, the property was not mentioned, and the family property was left. The head fell off, and all the wives were stolen. The land was divided, and even the house was divided equally. One member of the meeting was forced to tell the password of the token of the money house, but the rebel army found that all the money houses had caught fire. He sent people to other places to exchange for a penny, but he could not get a penny, because there was a chaos in Dingzhou, and all the funds of more than a thousand guan were frozen. In the end, the whole family of the meeting was killed.
What Ouyang was not happy about was that there were six reporters from the Royal Daily, and more than 20 printing workers were detained. Zhong Xiang forced them to leave the Great Chu newspaper. Imitate the Royal Daily and spread rumors. People in the prefectures and counties around the uprising area were panic.
This uprising is similar to Wang Xiaobo's uprising in the early Song Dynasty, both rich and poor. But the difference is that their purpose was political intention at the beginning. This is the most difficult thing to deal with. For example, Song Jiang, although he also killed officials, all the officials with a very bad reputation. He also robbed the rich, but in order to save the poor, rather than win over soldiers. Song Jiang opposed the official but not the Song Dynasty. Therefore, the nature of this incident was very bad.
Zhao Yu was angry, but also in a very difficult situation. The current embarrassment is that there are no troops in the surrounding area. In the hundreds of uprisings in the founding country of Song, there were many border troops used. Such elite troops were encircled and suppressed. However, the current state of resistance, the withdrawal of troops disrupted the strategic deployment. Moreover, the distance cannot quench the near thirst.
The Shuaisi on Hubei Road could only order the nearby scattered troops to eliminate them, so that local tyrants recruited local brave men to protect themselves. The news came out that the people were dissatisfied with Zhao Yu's negative resistance. As the mainstream media, the Royal Report reported more objectively what they saw and heard. They characterized Zhong Xiang's behavior, which had been gained for nothing, as the Huns who had invaded the Central Plains for a hundred years. Compared with poor places, civilians in wealthy areas disagree with Zhong Xiang's behavior. In particular, they killed too wide and aggressively.
The people were dissatisfied with Zhao Yu's decision, and the ministers were dissatisfied. This time, both the new and old factions formed a unified unity and demanded that the Tokyo Imperial Army encirclement and suppression. Liu Qi also asked for a fight and gave him 10,000 people, which would surely be able to quell Zhong Xiang's 100,000 rebels. The Business Association offered a reward of 10,000 yuan to buy Zhong Xiang's head. At the same time, he stated that if the Imperial Army encirclement and suppression was dispatched, the Business Association would invest millions as military expenses.
Finally, Zhao Yu finally agreed and ordered Liu Qi as the main general and Ouyang as the military supervisor to go to Dongting Lake to suppress the war. You can tell from Zhao Yu's appointment that Zhao Yu hopes to fight. Liu Qi and Ouyang have cooperated in the war, and there are not only a few people who died, but the results are huge.
Ouyang didn't know the appointment, but just lie in the water to look at the sky. This time the big thing has a lot to do with regional inequality. The gap between rich counties and poor counties is too big. The consumption in rich counties is too high, so prices will rise. The prices in poor counties will not stay there, but will rise. Many people say that the poor mountain and bad water are slandering and nonsense, and they think that the poorer the man is kinder. Ouyang doesn't think so. Looking at the history of the Song Dynasty for nearly a hundred years, the uprisings are basically in poor counties. Ouyang does not deny that they have a certain degree of justice and dissatisfaction with the government. But Ouyang does not support them. The just cause
It is not absolutely the right career, it is the truth that many people don’t understand until they die. What is justice? Everyone has their own measurement standards. If others don’t give a lot of physical strength, they will have a lot of money, and if they don’t give a lot of physical strength, they will think that this is social injustice. But the point is that among the people like Zhong Xiang, they are not for fairness or unfairness, but for themselves to be people who can get it without giving. Many modern people hate corrupt officials, and some do not shy away from saying that they are greedy as officials. This is a rather strange social psychology.
"Young Master" Ou Ping asked while drinking water on it: "How big do you think Zhong Xiang can make a fuss?"
"It's almost done." Ouyang replied: "He first used religious influence to turn himself into a god, gather himself into a cult of personality, and exert his influence. But his influence is limited after all. He has no believers except these places."
"Young master, they have the benefits of sharing the fields, land, and even their wives. Don't you often say that there must be brave men under heavy rewards?"
"Ouping, you go and buy one liter of rice twice. Will it be exactly the same weight when you two times?"
"Of course not."
"So no matter whether they are willing to admit it or not, there are always many unfair things. Those who have made meritorious rewards, but they will be rewarded more than others. Why do you still make meritorious contributions if you don't reward them?" Ouyang said: "The basis of this pseudo-Chu is believers, and as for those who join for the sake of interests, it is unstable. So although this group of people are so rampant, they dare to build a country, but they lack confidence. It is also internal friction. If Song hadn't been strong now, Jin Liao would have taken the opportunity to fight."
After Zhao Yu took office, there were basically no areas that could not survive due to tax issues. Therefore, over the years, Song Dynasty has been in stable development. However, using religion and interests to drive ignorant people is another matter. As soon as the official documents arrived, Ouyang took a few people very readily to join Liu Qi's army.
The fastest way to go to Dongting Lake is to take the southwest route of Jingxi, and then take the water route through the Han River to Jiangling Prefecture. Once you arrive at Jiangling Prefecture, you can see that the local area is being heavily guarded. The magistrate in the city is recruiting village warriors. Many famous generals in the Song Dynasty were promoted through this method. Many famous generals were also promoted by suppressing the peasant uprising.
When he arrived at Jiangling Prefecture, the first combat meeting was officially held. Liu Qi introduced: "Many soldiers under his command were not familiar with water and were more dangerous to go by water. It took a lot of time to go from land to Dingzhou, and the thief was strong. If each city must be guarded, it would be even more difficult to move forward."
Ouyang said: "I heard that Dingzhou is surrounded by water on three sides, and the thief is proficient in water. Even if he breaks through Dingzhou, it may not be of much significance." You finally march to Dingzhou, but finally you can conquer Dingzhou again and see that they ran away.
Liu Qi asked: "What do you think of sir?"
Ouyang asked: "Can he come to us?"
"My sir means..." Liu Qi said after thinking about it: "It may not be possible, but it may be in danger."
"I have choked to death when I eat, so there is no danger in what I do."
...
Yuezhou is also a severe area of violence. Except for the two counties that have been sent by Jiangling Prefecture to defend, the others belong to the thief area. Ouyang brought a thousand men to these two counties. What did Ouyang do? Ouyang came to visit the merchants who suffered and resettled the merchants and their families who had lost their industries.
The news came out, which made the thieves very excited. According to the inquiry, Ouyang will stay in these two counties for some time because he wanted to attract members of the business associations and their families in Yuezhou, Dingzhou and Tanzhou.
Zhong Xiang was overjoyed when he heard the news, but he asked cautiously: "Didn't you hear that Liu Qi brought 10,000 people?"
The spy said: "When you go back to the King of Chu, Liu Qi's men have arrived in Jiangling Mansion. They are currently recruiting Shui Yong and collecting ships to go to Dingzhou."
"Are you sure Liu Qi is in Dingzhou?"
"Confirm." The spy said: "The King of Chu didn't know that the disciple named Liu had a reputation. When he arrived in Jiangling, he had sex with Xiao Taohong. Now he is inseparable every day. His army is practicing swimming outside the city."
"Little Taohong." Zhong Xiang nodded. This is Jiangling famous scholar and a native of Dingzhou. It is still Zhong Xiang's distant relative. Although it has nothing to do with the rebel army, if Xiao Taohong can help hold Liu Qi, he can capture Ouyang alive. Capturing Ouyang alive is absolutely good news for the rebel army. Zhong Xiang shouted: "Come, go and invite General Yang Mo."
...
The silverfish in Dongting Lake has a good taste and good meat quality. Ouyang was very satisfied with taking a bite. Dongting silverfish has a unique flavor. He is now in a village between the two counties, about ten miles away from Dongting Lake. This place is good, and it takes two hours for the two counties to receive reports to rescue him, which is really convenient for others to cause trouble for themselves. Moreover, the scenery here is beautiful and the women are also very beautiful.
The owner of this restaurant is a widow named Mei Niang. She is less than thirty years old and is quite sexy and hot. Of course, it was in ancient times and I only knew it after peeling it. On the second day after Ouyang was stationed, he hooked up with this Mei Niang. In addition to being good at bedtime, Mei Niang is also first-class in cooking. Ouyang ate silverfish and fed wine by the beauty around him. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The feeling of ** is really good.
"How does adults feel?"
Ouyang Se asked in a daze: "Is it what happened last night or what happened later?"
"Hate, of course I'm asking how the fish tastes."
Ouyang sucked Mei Niang's index finger and said, "Of course, you taste the best."
"You haven't told them if it's delicious?"
"Okay, okay" Ouyang rubbed her face against her chest: "Everything is OK."
"Damn, I'll go and get some wine." Mei Niang pinched Ouyang's thigh and went downstairs with charm.
Zhang San, who was standing behind Ouyang, whispered to Li Si: "If General Liang knew, would this Mei Niang be thrown into the sea to feed the fish?"
Li Si said seriously: "Don't talk nonsense. The lord must have seen that Mei Niang is a spy, so he used her to release the news."
"Nonsense." Ouyang took a sip of wine and said, "You are not that amazing. Just come to a place and you can tell who the spy is. This is called coincidence. It happens that this place is far away from the water and the city is far away. There is such a beauty. You are too young. Women really taste this thing until they are thirty years old. They have a taste, understand human feelings, and know what men like to hear and eat."
Zhang Sanhan said, "Sir, are you really fun?"
"Nonsense, sleeping with women is also part of our military supervisor's work?" Ouyang said: "Of course, we can find other reasons to stay here. But one reason is to resettle the victims, and the other reason is to play with women. Which one do you think is better to choose?"
Li Sidao: "Sir, Zhang San means that there is only one woman in this place who is a top-notch product. He is jealous of the adults."
"Why am I jealous?" Zhang San said unhappy: "I am just worried about what to do if Zhong Xiangzhen comes? Will General Liu take risks with the adults too much?"
"Zhang San, it's like doing business. If you want to become a thrifty household, you have to take risks. Every day you spend, the local economy will be destroyed and more people will die. It will be even more difficult to resume production in the future." Ouyang said: "Besides, General Liu said he is 70% sure."
Li Si smiled and said, "Zhang San, learn a little. It is a national event for adults to play with women."
"What national event?" Mei Niang appeared with a smile.
Ouyang grabbed her hand and pulled her, let her sit on her knees and smiled: "They said, it's a serious matter for me to play with women."
"Hehe." Mei Niang rubbed Ouyang's body, picked up the wine and fed Ouyang and said, "Then you have to play until you have enough to leave."
"Isn't that going to be gone for the rest of your life?"
"Then don't leave." Mei Niang bit Ouyang's ear lightly.
Ouyang waved: "You guys go out, Mei Niang and I have something important to discuss."
Important things... Zhang San and Li Si smiled in his heart. Last night, the matter was going to be three times, and there were important things in broad daylight.
...
In Dongting Lake, ten miles away, two men were talking.
"Ouyang is here?"
"It's really here."
"How many people are around you."
"one thousand."
"What is he doing here?"
"What are you doing? Just play with a woman. Get together with a boy named Mei Niang every day."
"Mei Niang"
"A widow is very coquettish, her butt twists and turns when walking. She often takes a shower in the yard, which makes the young people go to climb the wall. She ignores it and sings a small song."
"No need to say that it is so detailed. If you want to catch Ouyang, there will be more women in the world to let you choose. How about those imperial guards?"
"How good can the Lord General be? I heard that they brought dozens of women from the city, and they were fooling around every night. Joining the army was gambling, drinking, and fucking. A fart army, a group of hooligans."
"Did Ouyang meet any businessmen?"
"No, just set up a spot in the city and let the merchants report on their own. When will you do it?"
"The night after tomorrow."
