Chapter 1085: Youzhou Rebellion (3)
After Li Huaixian heard the movement, he rushed out of the backyard wearing obscene clothes and holding a crescent halberd, and saw Zhu Zhu and Zhu Tao's brothers leading troops to slaughter their own soldiers, he immediately pointed at Zhu Zhu with a crescent halberd and shouted: "Zhu Zhu Zhu Tao, you are so bold, do you want to rebel?" ”
Zhu Jun's face was hideous: "Li Huaixian, you are extremely greedy, cruel and unkind, the brothers in the army have long been disappointed in you, today is your death, brothers, kill Li Huaixian with me!" ”
"Kill-" The generals fought each other again, and the brothers Zhu Zhu and Zhu Tao also fought with Li Huaixian, and the killing was inseparable. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
But it was said that Zhu Xicai invited Li Baozhong to eat at home, Li Baozhong didn't know what was going on, people who were addicted to alcohol on weekdays, this time it was too late, Zhu Xicai waited for two hours, and Li Baozhong rushed over.
This Li Baozhong is very good at playing, when drinking, not only must he have good wine and good food, but also have beautiful women to accompany him, a beautiful woman is not good, at least seven must be around him to accompany him to eat and have fun, Zhu Xicai almost sent his wife to the table, and finally got together seven beauties.
The situation was somewhat unexpected by Zhu Xicai, he didn't expect that this Li Baozhong's amount of alcohol was extraordinary, and his body was different from ordinary people, the more he drank, the more energetic he became, and he was sweating profusely, not only his clothes were soaked with sweat, but even his boots were water, in order to drink, this guy even prepared a few sets of clothes for himself, and after he was soaked, he asked the beauties around him to untie his clothes on the spot, and he was not ashamed at all.
During the banquet, Zhu Xicai wanted to recruit his own soldiers to come and kill Li Baozhong, but Li Baozhong was extremely energetic, and there was no sign of tiredness at all, and he also had several strong martial arts soldiers around him, and there were some soldiers waiting outside the mansion, these people were extremely vigilant, and Zhu Xicai couldn't find the slightest chance to do it.
In this way, it was a whole night, and when it was almost the time of Li Min, Li Baozhong became tired and couldn't hold on, and several of his personal soldiers around him also began to be drowsy and inattentive at this time. Zhu Xicai had a chance at this time, and immediately hinted at his subordinates to make a move, so several strong bows aimed at Li Baozhong and shot indiscriminately, where did Li Baozhong think that he would be plotted at this time? He was defenseless and was shot into a hedgehog on the spot, Zhu Xicai immediately pulled out his weapon and killed several of his personal soldiers one by one, and then quickly rushed to the Jiedu Embassy to support Zhu Zhu and Zhu Tao brothers.
In the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, the battle has been going on all night, corpses are everywhere, the people and horses brought by the two brothers Zhu Zhu and Zhu Tao are almost dead, and Li Huaixian's people are not left, and they are all seriously injured.
Zhu Zhu and Zhu Tao brothers and Li Huaixian were covered in blood confrontation, they stopped fighting this night, stopped fighting, stopped fighting, in fact, Zhu Xicai still underestimated Li Huaixian's martial arts, Zhu Zhu and Zhu Tao The two brothers together are weaker than Li Huaixian, the two of them can still fight with Li Huaixian at the beginning, but with the extension of time, the two brothers can't hold on, and they are frequently injured, if it weren't for Zhu Tao's cleverness, he used the method of fighting to entangle Li Huaixian to delay time, I am afraid that the two brothers would have been killed by Li Huaixian.
Seeing that it was about to dawn, and Li Huaixian had not yet been killed, Zhu Zhu began to be afraid and frightened, and couldn't help crying and saying to his younger brother Zhu Tao: "Brother, it's about to dawn, this Zhu Xicai hasn't come yet, I'm afraid something has happened, this thing can't be done, let's run for our lives quickly!" ”
Zhu Tao said hatefully: "Brother, if this plan doesn't work out, we only have a dead end, where can we escape?" Now we can only work hard, if we win, everything will be fine, if we lose, we will go to see Lord Yama together, and we will be a good man again in eighteen years! ”
Li Huaixian on the other side heard the conversation between the two brothers, and couldn't help but smile cruelly: "With you two bastards, you also want to kill me Li Huaixian?" When my Li Huaixian galloped on the battlefield, your brother was still wearing open crotch pants and playing with mud, Lao Tzu told you, today your brother is dead, Lao Tzu will cut you with a thousand knives, make your skin into a lantern and hang it at the gate! ”
At this time, a voice came from outside: "Li Huaixian, if you want to kill my brother, you have to ask the guy in our hand if he agrees!" ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw Zhu Xicai rushing in with a long-handled broadsword and a group of soldiers, Li Huaixian and some of his subordinates surrounded him.
Li Huaixian looked at Zhu Xicai and said angrily: "Zhu Xicai, Lao Tzu trusts you, let you be the envoy of the soldiers and horses in Youzhou, lead the army, and respect your identity, Lao Tzu is not thin on you, you actually want to oppose Lao Tzu?" Your conscience has been eaten by dogs? ”
"Hahaha······ Treat me to me? Zhu Xicai smiled angrily, "I, Zhu Xicai, have been born and died for you again and again, and have prevented disasters for you, and several times I have led away the enemy pursuers to help you escape from death, but you take it for granted, we just made a little fortune, you are red-eyed, envious, jealous and hateful, and take it away from us alive, you don't treat us as human beings at all!" Since you are unkind, don't blame me Zhu Xicai for being unjust to you, today is the time for us to settle the score, brothers, come with us, kill Li Huaixian, we will be rewarded! ”
"You ······" Li Huaixian didn't have time to speak, so he could only rush to the battle, but he had already fought with Zhu Zhu and Zhu Tao brothers for a night, and he had no strength for a long time, after being surrounded by Zhu Xicai and the soldiers, he died under Zhu Xicai's knife in only a dozen rounds, Zhu Xicai cut off his head with a knife and shouted in his hand: "Li Huaixian is dead, from now on, Youzhou Lulong is up to us!" ”
Zhu Zhu, Zhu Tao and others bowed down one after another: "Please ask the general to stay for the Lulong Festival in Youzhou, and preside over the military and political affairs of Youzhou and Lulong!" Whoever dares not to obey, we will kill him! ”
Zhu Xicai laughed: "Hahaha······ Okay, since all the generals unanimously recommended us as Youzhou and Lu Longliu, we reluctantly agreed! The general now appoints the deputy envoy of Jiedu, Zhu Zhu as the envoy of the soldiers and horses of Youzhou, Zhu Tao as the commander of the army, and Liu Daoqian as the secretary to join the army······ Other generals and school officials have their own rewards! ”
The generals and officials who were promoted and made a fortune were overjoyed, and they all expressed their allegiance to Zhu Xicai.
After Zhu Xicai became the queen of Youzhou and Lu Longjiedu, he began to act arbitrarily, and his soldiers were unbearable, and they all had different intentions, and the first person who was dissatisfied with it was Li Ming, the deputy envoy of Jiedu, who was instigated by Liu Daoqian to have different intentions, and began to instigate other generals to proofread Zhu Xicai's dissatisfaction, and they jointly launched a mutiny, and killed Zhu Xicai on August 29.
Zhu Xicai was killed by his subordinates after only a month as the boss, and at this time Zhang Zhongzhi led a large number of soldiers and horses back to Fanyang from the south, Li Ying and Zhu Zhu brothers joined forces to kill Zhang Zhongzhi, and then Li Ying and Zhu Zhu brothers fought each other, the situation between Youzhou and Lu Long began to become chaotic, Youzhou and Lu Long lost their masters for a while, and the generals of the leading troops supported themselves and attacked each other.
On the second day of September, Chang'an.
At yesterday's court meeting, Zhao Ziliang determined the general policy of counterinsurgency and chaos at the same time, the pace of counterinsurgency can not be stopped, and the main object of the next reduction of the domain is not the three towns of Heshuo, these three towns are one, once one of them is attacked, the other two will definitely save each other, so Zhao Ziliang decided to cut the domain of Qingzhou first, that is, Li Na, the envoy of the Ziqing Festival. The counterinsurgency army was divided into two, with Zang Xiyan commanding the Shence Army, the Zhenguo Army, and the Huainan Army, with a total of 100,000 horses on both sides of the Yellow River, to create pressure on Wei Bojiedu's envoy Tian Yue, on the one hand, to train soldiers and horses, and on the other hand, to maintain grain routes and transport grain and grass for another large army; The other army was commanded by Li Sheng, the general of the Western Qin, and a total of 115,000 elite iron cavalry, left and right Xiaowei, left and right leading guards, and supplementary corps of the Third Army of the Western Qin were under the command of 115,000 men and horses from Bianzhou to the east, and the Huaixi Army and the Dengzhou Army, which had been reorganized, a total of 50,000 horses and horses, were ready to go to Qingzhou for reinforcements at any time as reserve reinforcements.
At the same time as quelling the rebellion, it is also necessary to control the chaos at the same time, and the efforts to control the chaos include many aspects: First, we should rectify the rule of officials, vigorously deal with corruption, selling official positions, forming parties for personal gain, law enforcement and other bad phenomena in the officialdom, and reward officials who are honest, hard-working, and ask for the people's lives; The second is to gradually return the military power of the envoys, taishou and vassal kings in various places to the center of the imperial court, reorganize and train the soldiers and horses in various places, eliminate the old and weak, and leave the strong and strong, and the generals, deputy generals and supervisors of the army are appointed by the imperial court; The third is to vigorously crack down on bandits, robbers, and bandits in various places, and clarify the local public security situation; Fourth, to encourage trade and trade exchanges, and to formulate special laws to deal with disputes arising from trade and trade exchanges, and to crack down on illegal traders; Fifth, it encouraged farming, carried out an inventory and statistics of acres of land throughout the country, and in order to prevent the further expansion and deterioration of land annexation, a law was enacted: No matter who it is, the maximum number of acres of land per household shall not exceed 3,000 mu, and the surplus must be sold; if no one buys it within three months, the government will automatically take it back and distribute these acres to the landless peasants. For those fields that have owners but are abandoned, they are deemed to have automatically relinquished their ownership, and whoever clears the land will receive it. Sixth, special funds should be allocated to organize the government and the people to clean up rivers, strengthen river embankments, build water conservancy, dredge ditches, and increase irrigation.
All of this requires huge expenses, and the amount of money required for each item is not a small amount, and if it is carried out at the same time, it will undoubtedly bring a heavy burden to the imperial finances, but Zhao Ziliang understands that when any dynasty is about to fall, it is not only that the people in power have lost the support of the people, but also because it is financially bankrupt. In other words, in layman's terms, the imperial court has no money to pay for the expenses of the army and the various yamen of the imperial court, who will work for you if you have no money? Who doesn't want to eat? You are saying that if you break the sky, the army will not have combat power without money, and the generals and soldiers will not serve to the death.
There are several reasons why the imperial court has no money, one is the reduction of taxes, or because of the war caused by the suspension of production, the stagnation of commerce and trade, and the inability to collect taxes; the second is that there are taxes, but they are intercepted by the layers of officials below, and when they arrive at the imperial court, they are only a dime; The third is that a large number of land annexations have put the world's fields into the hands of a few people, and these people are either relatives of the emperor or nobles, or powerful officials, and these people themselves do not have to pay taxes!
