Chapter 772 Liaodong Wind and Rain

The rebellion of the victims in Guangnan was huge, and in just six days, the momentum was close to that of Fang La. At that time, Fangla started in the southeast coast, relying on Hangzhou, and expanded rapidly by borrowing the flower stone gang. And the situation of Guangnan is very different, Guangnan is not as good as Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Jingxiang and other places, from the Tang Dynasty Guangnan area belongs to the place where the imperial court management is lax, to the front, even Guangnan, Haizhou as a place of exile, today's Guangnan is far from the grandeur of Guangdong in later generations, some are just a bad living environment. Due to the lax management of the government, the imperial court did not pay much attention to Quang Nam, so the people of Quang Nam could only rely on their own ethnic groups in order to compete for interests. It can be said that even if there are no natural and man-made disasters in Guangnan, it is still possible to rebel against the people from time to time, not to mention that now natural disasters and man-made disasters have come together, and the entire Guangnan has immediately become a pot of porridge and has become the land of Yama of the Great Song Dynasty.

Due to the special situation in Quang Nam, the riots spread rapidly, and later even those wealthy families who did not feel the disaster also joined the ranks of the rebellion, Quang Nam East Road and Quang Nam West Road are vast and ethnically diverse, and there are many descendants who were exiled here in the early years, most of these people have no respect for the government, and only pursue selfish interests, and now one person shouts, ten thousand people respond, and the rebels are like a torrent, and within half a month, the number is no less than 400,000. At first, no one took the Quang Nam disaster seriously, but when things got to this point, Quang Nam officials felt afraid.

Bianliang Yanfu Palace, at this time, the quiet needle drop in the Xuanzheng Hall can be heard, and the silence is frightening, and Concubine Liu is sitting on the dragon chair, holding the little emperor in her arms. The regent Zhao Yougong sat next to the dragon chair, his feet apart, and in the middle stood the jet-black Qin Wang knife. He glanced at the main hall, and everyone in the hall bowed their heads in the eyes. The situation in Quang Nam has been transmitted to the Beijing Division, no matter what, Zhao Yougong could not have imagined that Quang Nam would be so eroded, and in just half a month, the rebel army has grown from a few hundred to more than 400,000. You must know that these 400,000 rebels are all brave and strong, if they join forces to attack Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jingxiang and other places in the north, what kind of disasters will they bring to the Great Song Dynasty? Extermination? How easy is it to say, now that the two Zhao Kai brothers have just been resolved, the army is resting, and there are still Chai forces in Luoyang City, and they originally wanted to go all out to exterminate the Chai family, but now the situation in Guangnan has happened, which is tantamount to making the difficult situation worse today.

"Why are you dumb? Before, when the king wanted to transfer Wu Jue as a two-way disposal envoy. Didn't you say that the rebellion of the little plagued people was okay? How about now? In just half a month, the rebels have become more than 400,000, what do you say to do? This king would like to ask you, where did the court allocate 100,000 yuan of disaster relief money and grain? Zhao Yougong asked loudly, but no one in the hall answered, and everyone was silent. He didn't dare to raise his head.

Zhao Yougong was really angry to the extreme, he was afraid that the situation in Guangnan would develop to the point of no return. So he wanted to send his trusted Wu Jue to sit in Panyu, but this proposal was opposed by most ministers. Why do these people oppose it, in fact, Zhao Yougong also understands in his heart that Guangnan and Qiongzhou are almost three areas, where there are many minerals and crops, and these harvests did not fall into the imperial treasury in the end. Instead, it fell into the private pockets of some Guangnan and Jiangnan clans. Now the regent wants to let his henchmen go to Panyu, the old nest of Guangnan, and they will see hell if they don't object. Considering that the eventful autumn was on the side, and it was not suitable to set off a bloody storm within the imperial court, the plan to send Wu Jue to Guangnan was temporarily shelved. There are still two ways to dispose of Feng Xinian as an important task, fully responsible for the affairs of Guangnan, and the disaster relief money and food were also sent out in time, but who would have thought that the ending would be like this.

The original Qin Wangfu ministers have already been dissatisfied with those wealthy ministers, and now the situation in Guangnan has been eroded to this point, and it is even more unbearable, Zhang Yi stood at the head of the ministers, and was the first to stand up, "His Royal Highness the Regent, the minister thinks that the situation in Guangnan has eroded to this point, and it has a lot to do with the unfavorable disaster relief of the government. ”

After Zhang Yi said that, Li Gang also took a step forward, shaking his white beard and said angrily, "The minister seconded the proposal, the disaster relief money and food disappeared for no reason, and the situation in Guangnan could not be transmitted to the Beijing Division in time, and the officials involved did not know how many, so they must be severely punished, and I hope His Royal Highness will think deeply." ”

Led by Zhang Yi and Li Gang, the Qin Wangfu began a crusade against those old ministers, this time those ministers who talked eloquently lost their past glory, in the face of the pressure of the Qin Dynasty, they could only retreat step by step, this time they made such a big mistake, someone must take responsibility, helpless, can only sacrifice some people. The corners of Zhao Yougong's mouth curled, and he kept sneering in his heart, it seems that he must let the court change his appearance as soon as possible, this time it is a good opportunity, he raised his eyebrows, stood up and looked down at the ministers, "The original two-way disposal made Feng Xinian mediocre and ineffective, and the disaster relief was unfavorable, causing the disaster victims to evolve into an uncontrollable situation. Liang Botao, the head of the household department, was not well supervised, and the disaster relief money and food were lost for no reason, and he was removed from his post for investigation and investigation, and the three divisions were strictly investigated. ”

Zhao Yougong shouted, and countless officials in the palace had begun to fight in their hearts, and the regent's order, I don't know how many officials will fall. Everyone also understands that His Royal Highness Zhao is taking the opportunity to eliminate dissidents, but what do you know, who let himself not be angry and gave the regent the opportunity to clean up the court? The disaster in Guangnan has a far-reaching impact, and the regent Qingming is ruled by the officials, which is the will of heaven and the hearts of the people, who dares to resist? Some people think about whether to go to Luoyang to join the Chai family, and some people think about whether to retreat bravely and leave a life on their own, in short, they have any ideas. But Zhao Yougong couldn't be happy, and if he had to make a choice between Guangnan Antai and eliminating dissidents, he would rather choose Guangnan to be safe and sound.

When the night shrouded Bianliang City again, Zhao Yougong finally found a trace of peace, and there was not always bad news recently, at least there was good news from Guanzhong. Tuoba Qingyun and Pang He were bright and dark, one south and one north, passing through Yuzhou and Fangzhou, and quickly took Yichuan County, and established an impregnable defense line in Yuzhou. In this way, it can be regarded as completely blocking the idea of the Chai army's influx into Guanzhong. The feeling of tiredness hit her heart, and Concubine Liu stood behind her obediently, her slender hands constantly rubbing her temples. These days, she can clearly feel the pressure on Zhao Yougong, the old-fashioned stubbornness in the court, and the situation in Guangnan is becoming more and more erosive. Originally, the Zhao Kai brothers and Jiangnan Antai could deal with the Chai clan with all their might, but as soon as something happened to Guangnan, all plans had to be put on hold.

"Don't be too anxious, if you are in a hurry, the slave family will have to serve you. Now it's time to think about what to do, anyway. Does the slave family think that the biggest threat is still the Chai family, and it is not realistic for Guangnan to send a large army, so it is better to guard the Suyang area, and the south of Guangnan will toss with them first! Originally, these words should not have been said by Concubine Liu, there is a saying that harem women are not allowed to interfere in politics, and Concubine Xiao Liu has always done the same, but after a long time, she also found that His Royal Highness the regent of her family is really different from others. I didn't care too much about these rules, so I slowly said something.

Zhao Yougong squinted. patted the back of Concubine Liu's hand and sighed, "What you said is not unreasonable, but this matter must be considered in detail." Now that the troops are being dragged down by the Chai clan, it is not good to send too many troops on the Guangnan side, and it is useless to send too little. It's a real headache. ”

Around the end of the day, Zhang Yi and Dongfang Jin came together, and several people gathered in the Nuanxiang Pavilion to discuss the matter of Guangnan. Zhang Yi is not good at things about war, so he rarely speaks. It was Dongfang Jin's eyebrows fluttering, obviously having an idea, "Your Highness, I got the news today, the Guangnan side has been eroded to the point of incorrigibility, and the bandits from all sides add up to almost 500,000, and it is too difficult to exterminate them." ”

With Dongfang Jin's narration and the news from Tang Miao's side, Zhao Yougong had a rough idea of the situation in Guangnan. Nowadays, the situation in Guangnan is erosive, and the strong and powerful are rising, among which the most powerful are the three forces, the first force is Ye Dahu of Xunzhou Chaozhou, who is active in the eyes of the disaster, Ye Dahu's hands are mostly disaster victims, these people are not afraid of death, there are many people, there are 150,000 people. The second force is active in the Panyu area of Tian Xingmao, Tian Xingmao is the Panyu Hao family, since the outbreak of civil unrest in Xunzhou, Tian Xingmao to protect the family as the reason, the servants formed a strong army, the Tian family is the local wealthy family, due to the marriage of the big clans, so the Panyu family can be said to be the same breath, Tian Xingmao raised troops, they are echoing each other, through the recruitment of troops and horses, quickly pulled up a team of nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses from the homeless. The third force is a little complicated, this person's name is Jin Ke, a native of Zhiqiu Village, Yulin Prefecture, born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his arm strength is amazing, Zhiqiu Village is the village of the local Zhuang people, and Jin Ke's courage is amazing, so he is quite loved by the local people. Originally, Guangnan West Road was not very good to the local barbarians in these years, and there were many harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the locals complained about the imperial court, but now Guangnan East Road was in chaos, and the officials of Guangnan West Road were afraid that the local barbarians would make trouble, so they ordered the blockade of several markets on the west side of Guangnan West Road. This has annoyed the local Zhuang people, who have been exchanging daily necessities for generations by going to the market for medicinal herbs or hunting prey from the mountains. So, under the leadership of Jin Ke, Yulin Prefecture also began to become chaotic.

Zhao Yougong did not blame the local officials for being implicated in the Quang Nam West Road, and fundamentally speaking, there was nothing wrong with them doing so, but the number of soldiers on the Quang Nam West Road was too small for the government to really block the area west of Yulin Prefecture.

Approaching October, there was a news that reached Bianliang City, from Huzhou south to the south of the Song River defeated the army to Fanyu south, to take refuge in the local strong Tian Xingmao, so that Tian Xingmao's power was amazing, rapidly expanded, began to annex Xunzhou and Chaozhou pace. Song Jiang's entry into Guangnan is like a giant ship in the sea, others don't know Song Jiang's ability, how can Zhao Yougong not know. Song Jiang is a trapped tiger, and now that the tiger has entered the chaos in Guangnan, isn't it a good opportunity to make a comeback? Tian Xingmao has a deep foundation, and with Song Jiang's help, how long can Ye Dahu last? Zhao Yougong didn't want Guangnan to be monolithic at all, once the forces of Guangnan were unified, the imperial court would have to face hundreds of thousands of rebels, what kind of pressure was this?

"Daguan, you better say it directly, what is there to temporarily alleviate the current situation, Guangnan can't send too many soldiers and horses for a while, but it's not good for Song Jiang and Tian Xingmao's forces to swell!"

Zhao Yougong asked, Dongfang Jin smiled faintly, and said confidently, "Your Highness is a little safe, your subordinates have already had a plan, judging from the recent situation, Ye Dahu and Tian Xingmao are not of the same mind, and Xunzhou and Chaozhou are mountainous and the terrain is complicated, so as long as you send a strange soldier to nail the situation in Xunzhou, so that Tian Xingmao will not be able to take Xunzhou in a short time." The mountain jungle belongs to the mountain battalion under General Niu, and Zheng Biao can personally lead the troops there. As for Yulin Prefecture, the mountains and forests are dense, why not let Princess Tuoba lead the troops? ”

"Qingyun's people go to Yulin Prefecture, what about Fangzhou?" Zhao Yougong frowned, and he didn't know what Dongfang Jin's intentions were for a while.

"Your Royal Highness, we just want to let Fangzhou out, the land of Jingxiang is rich and vast, the fierce tiger of the Chai family has long been itching, Tian Xingmao has the help of Song Jiang, and he will not be satisfied with Guangnan, when the time comes, the two tigers will inevitably rush into Jingxiang, there is a way that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, we are already short of troops, wouldn't it be better to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?"

After hearing this, Zhao Yougong and Zhang Yi couldn't help but light up their eyebrows, they really deserve to be Dongfang Jin, I'm afraid that only Dongfang Jin in the world can come up with such a ruthless move. What Dongfang Jin did was to throw out a big piece of fat meat, causing two tigers to fight and kill each other, and this piece of fat meat was the land of Jingxiang where the two sides were eyeing each other.

Dongfang Jin's plan is very clever and vicious, so he will bring the people of Jingxiang to the troubled times. However, Zhao Yougong only hesitated slightly, and then nodded heavily, he is not a saint, and he can't save everyone, in order to quickly stabilize the world, he can only sacrifice the people of Jingxiang. When the deliberations were complete, the order was conveyed like snowflakes.

The situation in the Great Song Dynasty was erosive, and at this time Liaodong was not very calm, in October, a vicious wind invaded the Goryeo Peninsula, but Murong Fu's newly built Liaoyan was hit hard, and at this time, Wanyan Zongwang, who had been recuperating for a long time, showed his fangs again, and fought all the way from Huining Mansion to Huanglong Mansion. There should have been a fierce battle, but no one expected that Murong Fu would order the gate of Huanglong Mansion to be opened, and Wanyan Zongwang and Murong Fu sat at the head of Huanglong Mansion and signed an alliance, known as the "Yellow Dragon Alliance" in history!
