Chapter 945

When Emperor Jingtai ascended the throne, he first had to deal with the funeral affairs of Emperor Daxing, and then issued a great edict to grant amnesty to the world. After that, even if they hated the second and third sons who had originally opposed him to seize the legitimate son, they could not vent their anger immediately. , they still have to be promoted and given king titles in accordance with tradition. "Huh? The second brother just accepted his fate like this?" Bai Lang was quite surprised when he saw the edict stating that the second brother was promoted to the King of Han, the third brother was promoted to the King of Chu, the fourth brother was promoted to the King of Chengdu, and the others were also promoted.

The second child may have to find a way to protect his body, such as becoming a great scholar - equivalent to a great master. Of course, the second child has a lot of flexible brains and may have other methods. The third child is quite simple. It's easy for him to be safe - just ask yourself to be the King of Sai. There is no Ming Dynasty here, and there are no examples of successful rebellions by feudal kings.

There is no problem with the fourth brother at all, and Emperor Jingtai has never regarded this fourth brother as a rival. Among these brothers, the one he was most afraid of used to be the second and third brothers, but now it is the fifth brother Bailang. Bailang's title was still King of Jin, but it was changed to a double salary and an additional guard. Emperor Jingtai even gave him many eunuchs and maids in the palace. Anyway, Bailang knew that this guy must have taken the opportunity to send many factories. The guards came to monitor.

After Emperor Jingtai came to the throne, this man couldn't wait to come to the New Deal - the Zhengtong Emperor came to the throne as a young man and has been the emperor for seventy years now. His people are everywhere in the court and the local area. How can Emperor Jingtai tolerate this situation, so he We must implement a new policy. "It's nothing more than bringing down a group of people and then promoting a group of people. It can also be said that changing the soup without changing the medicine is just an ordinary personnel adjustment." Bai Lang saw it this way. The late emperor had been in power for more than seventy years and had already made some adjustments. The Wu Dynasty was riddled with holes. Let Emperor Jingtai come to power and wipe his butt first.

The aristocratic families in the south have teamed up with the imperial court to exploit the local area to the point where the people have no clothes to wear. It can be said that etiquette, justice and integrity have basically disappeared. Of course, they still have etiquette, justice and integrity among themselves, but the people outside who have no clothes to wear, He was just treated like a beast. So someone rose up and attacked the county seat. When the county magistrate and the aristocratic families in the city wanted to pull people to defend the city, almost all the people who were pulled were unable to work.

Those servants did not dare to use tithes to restrain the people from contributing, because they really dared to directly open the city gate and surrender to the "bandits". This "bandit army" raised the flag of "Practice for Heaven", and the leader was Xiang Pang - Xiang Pang was eight feet tall at this time, with a majestic appearance and holding a simple sword. He collected iron ore himself and forged a Bailian sword by himself. The blade was as long as the handle, and the whole sword was as tall as him when it was stood up.

The blade is wide, and if Bailang sees it, he will definitely say that it is a well-made broadsword-style blade. It has a reverse edge that can be used for picking and stabbing. Since the blade is only one finger thick, the strength of the blade is sufficient. The weight of this knife is quite heavy, which is nothing for an expert. At this time, Xiang Pang was standing in front of the brothers, looking up at the closed city gate and the official flags erected on the city wall.

"Eat meat and suck bones." The young man said this, and then rushed towards the city wall with a huge step. He spread his hands and saw the simple knife suspended between his palms, and bursts of purple thunder swam away. On the blade. "Spring thunder bursts!" Xiang Pang yelled, grabbed the handle of the knife with both hands, and turned the knife into hundreds of overwhelming thunder, which directly collapsed the ten-foot-long city wall into rubble.

When the rebels saw their boss showing off his power, they cheered and charged in with the weapons they had just refined from the ore. "Surrender without killing!" A thunderous roar resounded throughout the city. The common people dropped their weapons without hesitation. The servants were so frightened that they knelt down and did not dare to move when they saw the rebel leader's lightning-based martial arts that destroyed a ten-foot city wall with one strike. Xiang Pang easily captured the county seat, killed the county magistrate and officials, and beheaded all the aristocratic families in the city. 70% of the wealth was collected as rewards from the army, and 30% was distributed among the people. The grain and grass obtained were 50% of the same as those of the people in the county seat and surrounding villages. .

With food, grass and money, the number of rebels swelled again, and in ten days they broke through seven counties and gained more than 10,000 troops. Xiang Pang did not blindly expand his troops, but carefully selected them. He only recruited soldiers from the countryside and the families whose fields he had allocated in the county, and he also selected the strongest. The next step was for him to attack Fucheng, and he had already swept away all the dungeons in the countryside - even though those wealthy locals claimed to be from aristocratic families, their earthen castles could not block his attack at all.

That day he dreamed of meeting a god, and of course he was taught the Purple Thunder Magic Skill. This person was also born to be good at practicing this magic skill. He really learned it once and mastered it in a short time. I am afraid he will have to innovate and make further progress in the future. This person is also only half a step away from becoming a god. His martial arts progress is much faster than Bai Lang's.

How could the local general soldier allow such bandits to be so rampant? Moreover, the real aristocratic families in this state also paid more attention to it. They immediately provided money, food and personnel, and asked the general soldier to lead twelve battalions and multiple guerrilla generals, totaling three Thousands of soldiers and horses were immediately deployed to encircle and exterminate Xiang Pang's rebel army. The general, Mao Yi, was also a man who knew how to fight. At that moment, the 30,000 soldiers and horses were divided into two. He personally led the 20,000 soldiers as regular soldiers and intercepted Pang's soldiers and horses to fight them. The guerrilla general Faxiao was the surprise soldier and led 10,000 soldiers. After waiting for the sound of cannons, they took a detour and attacked from the side and behind.

It is precisely because of this that a battlefield must be chosen, and the interception battlefield chosen by Mao Yi is the Yangguan Road leading to Fucheng. There is a mountain and a river at the intersection of this road. The river divides into two roads at the foot of the mountain, and one is Yangguan Road and Yangguan Bridge. In front of the bridge, there is quite a vast flat land in the shape of a funnel, and the foot of the mountain extends to meet the river on one side of the plain. When the road passes here, it naturally forms a gap with a mountain on one side and a river on the other, with a width of only thirty feet.

Mao Yi asked Faxiao's 10,000 soldiers and horses to cross the river first and then cross the river, and arrange themselves in the hills formed by another river and the mountain. There is no passage here so there are few people walking there. His own 20,000 soldiers and horses set up camp on the flat land of Yangguan Road, preparing to annihilate Xiang Pang's soldiers and horses in one fell swoop.

In terms of military equipment, he had an advantage. Although his soldiers and horses had no pay - originally the state's general army and the battalion heads in the Ministry of War totaled 47,000 people, but now they have joined the private army of local aristocratic families, and the total number is 30,000. It's just that the weapons and armors of these 30,000 people are complete, and only about 11 of them are shoddy, so they can be regarded as conscientious.

There are advantages in armament and strength, and these are the troops and horses produced by the imperial court. Mao Yi would like to think that the same is true in training. Since this is the case, there is no possibility of losing. This time, he must be killed completely. It's a good way to repay the favor.
