Du Zhongxiao sat on the chair, looking at the newspaper of the past few days, feeling a little irritable.

The king of Beizhou made a rebellion, and Zhizhou Zhang Deyi went to the Baoxiaojie battalion to transfer troops, but he didn't want to have Wang Ze's internal response there, so he burned the camp gate. Zhang Deyi couldn't enter the barracks, and was caught and killed by the chaotic army that rushed in. The rebels forced Dong Yuanheng to hand over the keys to the military treasury, but Dong Yuanheng refused and was killed. Wang opened the cell door and released the prisoner, and the prisoner resented the manager who handled the case, and Wang Zhuang was killed. Subsequently, officials including Li Hao, the judge of Jiedu, Qi Kai of Qinghe County, and Wang Xiang, the chief bookkeeper, were killed for various reasons.

What surprised Du Zhongxiao was that Tian Jing was sentenced to death on Hebei Road, and he immediately left Tianqingguan and went down from the south gate of the city to survive. Even Tian Bin, the commander of the soldiers and horses, took his soldiers to fight against the rebels, and he could escape safely after the defeat.

Judging from the news in the newspaper, the Beizhou Rebellion has no rules at all, and it does not look like it has been planned for a long time. Du Zhongxiao felt that as long as he was sober-minded, he should first close the city gate after the rebellion, and then mobilize the Xuanyi Army and the Baoxiaojie Battalion in the city, which official could escape?

One side came prepared, but the other side knew nothing, and in the end, the organizational ability of this chaotic army was very problematic. This is still a rebellion with the forbidden army in the city as the team, so it can be seen that the combat effectiveness of these forbidden troops is really unbearable, and even a little ridiculous.

After Tian Jing and Tian Bin went out of the city, they went to the Nanguan military camp, and now they have organized men and horses to seal the south gate of Beizhou. Within a few days, Hao Zhi, the daimyo of the Daimyo Mansion sent by Jia Changchao, had already led troops to the city of Beizhou, where he met with Tian Jing, Tian Bin and others to stabilize the surrounding situation.

What made Du Zhongxiao feel laughing and crying the most was that after Wang Ze occupied the state city, he stubbornly defended the city, neither expanding outward, nor contacting the henchmen of other states in time, and became the emperor of the soil first. He named the door of his residence "Zhongjing", and the buildings in the city gave a state name on each floor, appointed his henchmen as governors, and set up four governors in the south, east, and west.

Looking at what Wang Ze did, where did he look like a big event? Typical cool to death. Perhaps these people really believed in the doctrine and thought that a great chaos was coming, and that a new world would appear in the world, and that the world would be in their hands if they held Beizhou?

Although the history books of the study refer to these chaos as peasant uprisings, the reasons are also listed in detail and the significance is analyzed, which represents the decay of ancient China and the people's lack of livelihood. Du Zhongxiao saw these things with his own eyes, but he knew that it was not like that. In the case of history books, it is more about using ancient events to establish ideology, and by criticizing the past, to establish the legitimacy of the time, many of which are far from historical facts and cannot be linked together. If you insist on analogy, it is more of a spring and autumn technique, but it goes further than the spring and autumn period and only deletes.

Taking the Beizhou Wang Ze Rebellion as an example, whether it is Wang Ze himself or his henchmen, he has nothing to do with the peasants. The main force of the uprising was the forbidden army in the city, and the participants were mainly Maitreya sects, and from the uprising to the destruction, no peasants participated in it, and there was no response to the peasant contradictions.

If we understand the world and do things according to the textbooks we have learned, we will deviate far from the facts.

After several years of fighting with the party, he spent countless money and food, but in the end he did not win, and of course accumulated all kinds of social contradictions. However, in the reality of this era, the main contradictions in society were not expressed in the form of peasant uprisings, but more in the form of military rebellions and rebellions of peripheral forces caused by the defeat of the party. Why this is so, of course, there are all kinds of reasons, intricate, that is another matter, the characteristics of the times.

After carefully analyzing the Beizhou Rebellion, Du Zhongxiao felt that if he let himself put down this rebellion, it should not take much effort.

There were only two battalions of forbidden troops in the city, less than a thousand men. Therefore, after Wang occupied the state city, he recruited all the people in the city, from 12 to 70 years old, to join the army, and tattooed the words "The righteous army broke Zhao and won the victory". What is the combat effectiveness of such an army? As long as the city is breached, it can be quickly pacified.

Thinking of this, Du Zhongxiao looked up at Sun Ran, who was busy with people not far away, and sighed. If this cannon is cast as soon as possible, he can have an excuse to go to the imperial court and take the cannon to bombard the city gate of Beizhou, and make a great contribution. But look at it like this, there are still five or six days to cast, and then the charge will be slowly tested, and there will be other messy things, I am afraid that it will not be delayed for a month.

The king is doing things in such a mess, and there are powerful ministers, who will bring a large army there, and it will only take a few days to calm down, but he is afraid that he will not be able to catch up.

I have already remembered the Beizhou Rebellion, and I have long wanted to make some military achievements, but I didn't expect that I might not be able to catch up with all the calculations.

On the second day of the twelfth month, the imperial court sent Ban Mai Yunyan and Long Shenwei Sixiang to command Wang Kai to take his subordinates to Beizhou. At the same time, Gaoyangguan Road was deployed, and the horse army was waiting for Wang Xin, and after getting the news, he also urgently led his troops and horses to Beizhou under the city to be surrounded by regiments.

On the eighth day of December, due to the grace of hundreds of officials in the southern suburbs, Du Zhongxiao, together with the last time, was promoted from Dr. Taichang to the official Wailang and Zhiji Xianyuan. At this point, Du Zhongxiao has officially entered the ranks of middle-level officials, which is very rare at his age. The difference is that the seniority is insufficient, and he has only been a magistrate for one term, and he is not satisfied with the appointment of the judge and the magistrate, which belongs to the embarrassing situation of being more than enough to be the governor of the state.

Under the city of Beizhou, Mai Yunyan sat behind the case, with a sad face. Wang Kai and Wang Xin sat on both sides, their expressions solemn.

After a while, Mai Yunyan raised his head and said to the two of them: "Our army will gather under the city of Beizhou and attack the city for several days, not wanting the demon thieves to guard it tightly and not be able to enter the city." How is it good to go on like this? ”

Wang Kai said: "According to the following, please ask the holy decree to tell the city, and the court will not investigate the people in the city who do not obey the thieves." Even if you are a thief for a while, as long as you correct it in time, you can not blame the past. Here we will choose a city gate, and we will not stop attacking the city day and night. ”

Mai Yunyan said: "Why so? Attacking and appeasing at the same time, will not the people in the city be at a loss? ”

Wang Kai said: "That's not what I said. The appeasement makes the demon thieves in the city chaotic, and the strong attack makes them fearful, and the two-pronged approach can break the city and suppress the thieves. When the Khitan came to the south of Beizhou, the city was strong, and it was not easy to break through in a hurry. ”

Mai Yunyan shook his head: "No, these demon thieves are in chaos, they should only be punished painfully, and appeasing them will only disturb the hearts of the army." ”

Wang Xin on the side crossed his hand: "I know, I think that what Wang Taiwei said is reasonable." Most of the demon thieves in the city are the people who have been bewitched by the Maitreya Sect, they have been nirvana, and they are guarded by the armor, and they are afraid that the city will be burned after the jade is burned, and they will resist desperately. To appease the hearts of the people in the city, there are those who do not want to be thieves, and they will definitely help our army. When you get there, you should be reconciled inside and outside, so that you can break through this fortified city. ”

Seeing that Wang Xin also said the same, Mai Yunyan was a little shaken. "This is not a trivial matter, let me think about it. ”

In this attack on Beizhou, the imperial court had a decree that it was not allowed to transfer envoys and punish to interfere. Since the three of them arrived here, Tian Jing took the initiative to no longer participate in the military.

Among the three, Wang Xin had the deepest qualifications and the highest official position, and was appointed to the capital deployment. But Mai Yunyan is an internal servant, and he is a real power figure like the internal escort class, and the actual party holds military power. He is a person close to the emperor, and this time he came with the intention of supervising the army, Wang Xin and Wang Kai did not dare to fight with him.

Wang Xin participated in the Battle of Sanchuankou against the party, when the commander Liu Ping and Shi Yuanbu were captured together, and his soldiers and horses escaped unharmed. Later, he was held accountable and suffered some setbacks, but it took two years to slowly recover. In the battle of Sanchuankou that year, he was defeated because of his servant Huang Dehe, and then he was slandered and almost took the blame for Huang Dehe. With that lesson, Wang Xin was a little afraid of these servants and didn't dare to be stubborn.

Wang Kai was a general in charge of the army at the beginning, and his connections in the court were not deep, so he was Mai Yunyan's deputy, so he had to obediently obey orders.

The two generals in charge of the army clearly knew what to do, but there was one Mai Yunyan here, but they were at a loss everywhere.
