Chapter 246: The Prelude to the Great Counteroffensive
On the second day of Yang Feng's entry into Lin'an, the cavalry of the Red Turban Army arrived in Lin'an, and in the afternoon, the main force led by Xiao Rin, the commander of the fifth town, also arrived, and on the same day, the forbidden army led by Xie Qian forced the defenders to surrender in Pingjiang, and then the defenders from all over eastern Zhejiang surrendered one after another.

Yang Feng's rebellious war ended.
As for the other battlefields, there was no suspense, after understanding the situation in Jiangnan, Wu Lan's uncle and nephew and Yang Zheng immediately accepted Yang Feng's appointment, and then Wu Lan personally led his subordinates to Chengdu, where the only major battle in this war broke out.
Zheng Gangzhong used the 20,000 Song troops under his control to meet the Wu army under the city of Chengdu.
He didn't dare to shrink in the city and hold on, because he knew very well that in this place in Sichuan, Wu Lan was more effective than him to speak, if the city gate was closed, maybe it would be opened in the middle of the night, so he could only hope for a decisive battle after the big reward, and then his army that spent a lot of money to inspire was killed by the elite of the Jin army in the battle of the immortal pass under Wu Lan, and a simple charge was crushed, Zheng Gangzhong committed suicide in defeat, Wu Lan was in charge of the east and west of the two rivers, and the entire Sichuan basin became the territory of the Wu family.
His nephews, Wu Gong and Yang Zheng, divided Hanzhong and the surrounding mountainous areas between Sichuan and Shaanxi.
But the three are still one group.
Yang Feng alone added a Sichuan-Shaanxi propaganda envoy to Wu Lan, in short, Sichuan and Shaanxi were headed by Wu Lan, supplemented by Yang Zheng and Wu Gong, Wu Lan had the right to decide to fight abroad, as for whether they were willing to go on a northern expedition or bully Dali in the south, or play Tubo in the west, it would depend on their own hobbies, anyway, Yang Feng would not give them a penny, nor would he send them any troops to help. The power of the imperial court to these places was limited to the appointment and dismissal of governors, and there was also the supervision of taxation, of course, this had to be in the case of Yang Feng's needs, or when his goods entered Sichuan, and the three places had to pay a certain amount of taxes to the imperial court every year, and there was also the fact that the feudal towns had no right to pass the sea and land, and the imperial court appointed the officials of the sea and land customs separately to collect customs duties, and stationed a part of the army as an anti-smuggling team.
In short, it is to imitate the example of the Tang Dynasty feudal towns to the greatest extent, and these governors are those Jiedu envoys of the Tang Dynasty, and they can chop whoever they want in their own jurisdiction.
Including the prison army.
There are so many eunuchs in the palace, and they are also raised, and a group of them are sent out to let these feudal towns help feed and reduce the burden on the court.
The other governors also succeeded in seizing their own territories.
At this time, the Southern Song Dynasty can fight with the two or three hundred thousand troops added up to these systems, and all the places south of the Yangtze River are large rear, and there is no decent army at all, that is, some goods to maintain law and order.
In short, the change of power in the Great Song Dynasty was completed easily and simply, and when the new year came, even His Majesty the Xiangxing Emperor arrived at his own palace and received the worship of hundreds of officials in the Daqing Palace.
Uh, sitting side by side with Yang Feng.
Then the regent on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor read out the disposition of the rebel party, Qin Hui beheaded his family and his family was exiled to Hainan Island, Zhao Ding and Zhang Jun died, and his family was exiled to Guangxi, and Qin Hui's henchmen who participated in the Yue Fei case were all beheaded and exiled to Hainan Island, and the little emperor also specially aimed to build a temple for Yue Fei on the shore of the West Lake, and cast Zhao Gou, Qin Hui and other five people kneeling in front of the temple, as for Yue Fei's remains, the regent said that Qingshan buried loyal bones everywhere, since his father has been buried in the ground, let him stay on the shore of the West Lake to continue to protect the people of Lin'an!
Of course, this is just the main characters.
In fact, Zhao Buqi, the good dog of the regent, also drew up a lot of lists, beheaded, beheaded, and exiled, in short, to ensure that justice and the law are served, and it is better to kill by mistake than let go, and then Yang Feng's money is also available, and the redundancy of the court has to be streamlined.
This is the main purpose of his imprisonment.
The number of idlers fed by the court of the Great Song Dynasty is too much, after all, the bloated bureaucracy of the Great Song Dynasty is also in the forefront of history, and after the territory is divided, the financial revenue will definitely be sharply reduced, although there is no need to feed those troops and local officials, and the expenditure has also been sharply reduced, but for Yang Feng, who is about to build a large-scale shipbuilding, every copper plate is precious, he will not support those idlers, just kick them out by being rebellious, anyway, he is saying that all the officials in the Southern Song Dynasty are rebellious, and others have no reason to talk about it, not only officials, Even some of the official positions he did not want to keep were revoked.
There must be six books, could it be that the concept of longevity makes this weird thing continue to be retained? Dali Temple must be indispensable, is it necessary to have scholars from all palaces?
It doesn't make any sense!
Get out of here, go home and do whatever you like, anyway, the regent doesn't raise idlers, and if you dare to be dissatisfied, be careful to count you as rebellious.
In short, the Great Song Dynasty quickly shrunk into a Tongzhongshu Sect Pingzhangshi plus six Shangshu, plus Yushi Zhongcheng and Dali Siqing, of course, as well as their respective subordinate officials, and even any false titles such as the Three Princes, the weight loss is also quite thorough, and a lot of the yamen is vacant, and it is even auctioned and rented by the regent to subsidize the finances. The command structure of the army was transferred to the Privy Council, and the personnel and logistics departments were transferred to the Ministry of War, including the ordnance station and its subordinate workshops that were formerly under the Ministry of Works, and all other disorderly institutions set up to limit the power of the army were abolished. The reorganization of the forbidden army of the six towns, in addition to the Yangtze River naval division and navy, especially the navy will not only be stationed in the direct territory of the imperial court, but also set up bases in several major coastal ports controlled by the feudal town, in fact, it is to serve the customs, acting as an anti-smuggling team to ensure Yang Feng's customs revenue, which is particularly important, and the customs revenue of the Great Song Dynasty has always been a piece of fat.
In short, the Great Song Dynasty entered the era of regents in this way.
A fantastic time.
A time when countless people cheered.
First of all, the peasants were happy, their taxes were reduced, the harsh taxes were almost swept away, the peasants only had the fields, nothing else had to be paid, the customers who had no land also had their own land, and even the regent also brought the immortal seeds that had not been popularized in their own territory, although there was only one of them, but it solved the problem that the people in the mountainous areas could not eat enough, this magical crop called sweet potato, quickly spread in the mountainous areas of Liangzhejiang and Jiangnan East Road.
The businessmen also cheered for the time of the regent.
Very simple.
The regent brought new looms, new cane sugar technology, new printing and dyeing technology, new tea processing technology......
In short, all kinds of new technologies.
These things have strengthened the already developed industry and commerce in Jiangnan, coupled with the new navigation technology, all the industrialists and businessmen understand that their future is shining, there are countless overseas markets waiting for them to explore, and then the wealth of countless small countries will continue to flow.
What's more, the regent also abolished the official monopoly on many industries, such as the salt industry, such as iron smelting, and even copper mining and smelting, he generously allowed merchants to participate, the only restriction was that the taxes on these important industries were heavier, and in these industries, the regent also invested in new technologies, but this is not worth mentioning to those private businessmen, after all, everyone understands the huge profits of the salt industry, and they understand even more what the new salt drying technology means.
The army was also cheering for the regent.
Because they have been dignified, they have been guaranteed the future, all kinds of military merit awards, especially the medal system, as well as the death and disability pension and retirement allowance are all perfected, and there will be no more deductions in military salaries, they are no longer lowly thieves with the army, but the defenders of the country, the heroes of the country, and even the regent also built a martyr's shrine in Lin'an, and the names of all the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country in the future will be engraved in the martyr's shrine and enjoy the worship from generation to generation, and the martyr's shrine is built next to his father's temple.
Even the officials of the yamen were cheering for the regent.
Because the regent established a new imperial examination and official promotion system, officials and officials are no longer two classes, as long as the officials have enough work performance, they can be promoted to positions that only the imperial examination officials can obtain, and even the regent openly said that in the future, it is not impossible to have officials who are really capable, even if it is a prince, so it is strange that those officials do not cheer, even the efficiency of the yamen has been greatly increased, and the problem of greed has been greatly improved.
After all, the officials are greedy because they have nothing else to do.
But now that you have a future to run, you must consider which is more important, whether you will receive a few copper coins or be promoted.
Of course, there are also people who are cursing this shameless Bao army.
Those officials who were laid off.
The super-landlords whose land was confiscated.
In their opinion, this era is simply dark, that living Cao Cao's perverse behavior, it should be indignant to people and gods, what do those foolish people know, they have been fooled by his city methods, and they can't see his evil at all, robbing the people's daughters on the street, and the eldest princess preached yin all night, and it is said that he also got involved in the concubine of Hougong, although there is no definite evidence of this matter, but he lives in the big inside, if he can control the thing below, it would be strange! Just look at the often rippling feelings on the faces of the concubines left by Emperor Shaoxing, how moisturized these women are now.
The ancestors of the Great Song Dynasty, send a thunderbolt to kill him!
Uh, he seems to be Thor!
Those former pillars of the country, hiding in a dark corner, extremely depressed looking at the rapid changes around them, while fantasizing about the day when this demon will be retributed, such as the Jin army going south or something, after all, he abolished the Shaoxing Peace Conference, and also wiped out the envoy of the Jin State.
However, these people waited left and right and waited for this happy news, but in the second year of Xiangxing, that is, at the end of the second year of the fall of Lin'an in their hearts, they waited for a news that stunned them.
Xu Qing's Northern Expedition recovered Tang Deng.
