Qiming 1158

Chapter 1264 Everyone does not invade each other
Zhao Busi thought about it carefully, and felt that what Ma Yongkang said really made sense.

But he is still reluctant to change his established policy.

"The enemy is right in front of me, I have to control all the military power, and now there are three of the four generals who can't shirk back. This is a typical dissent! How can I bear it?"

Ma Yongkang felt that something was wrong.

"Your Majesty, you..."

"I want to scold the remaining three generals and let them come back immediately, otherwise, it will be treated as a rebellion!"

Ma Yongkang's eyes darkened, and he tried his best to stop Zhao Buxi from making such a mess, but it was still useless. Zhao Buxi insisted on doing this, and kept giving advice from anyone, even Wu Ting, Wu Lin's son, came to persuade him to no avail.

In desperation, Ma Yongkang silently sent his family to the mountains in the countryside of Chengdu to let them hide, and told them not to leave a safe place casually until the situation in Sichuan and Shu was settled, and then there would be chaos in Sichuan and Shu.

Although Qi Xiuwei came back to express his condolences to Wu Lin, but Zhao Buxi was angry and dismissed him from his post.

Then Zhao Buxi chose his cousin, Zhao Xin, to take over the army under Qi Xiuwei, and immediately killed the rebels there, and brought the army back.

Then he ordered to reprimand the other three generals and ordered them to return to Chengdu to report their duties immediately. If they did not return, they would immediately stop the supply of army salaries and provisions, and treat them as rebels. Their families in Chengdu would also be in danger.

The messengers sent by the three of them to express their condolences were also sentenced and imprisoned by Zhao Buxi, and they were not allowed to return.

After this order was conveyed, Lu, Du Ren, and Xie Qingsheng were greatly disturbed and panicked, and then they were indignant.

They fought desperately for the Chengdu court, and they had no objection at all, but they didn't go back because they were worried, and they turned out to be rebellious?
What happens when you go back?
Qi Xiuwei had already shown them vividly.

As for the family?

If you don't go back, the imperial court may still cast the rat's trap. If you go back, it's the fish on the chopping board!

So the answer is already obvious.

Lu, Du Ren and Xie Qingsheng once again refused to return, and presented the table to the Chengdu court, expressing that they had no intention of betraying the court, but could not understand why the emperor suddenly distrusted them and thought they were rebellious.

They can't accept this situation at all.

As for the threat to stop the supply of salaries and provisions...

Lu was not worried, because he was followed by a large group of landlords, and as long as he moved his fingers a little, someone would bring him food, grass and military pay.

At this moment, Lu was very fortunate that he had such preparations.

However, Du Ren and Xie Qingsheng were not prepared for this, so they became even more angry. However, the army has weapons and equipment in hand, and food and wages?Is it hard to get?

So Zhao Bunyi succeeded in forcing the three generals to distance themselves from him.

At this moment in Sichuan and Shu, there are stubborn thieves making waves, and outside the Ming army is pressing step by step. Successfully turned the originally stable land of Sichuan and Shu into a hell on earth.

From peasants to landlords, from handicraftsmen and small businessmen to financial practitioners and big businessmen, and even to the bureaucratic class, there is not a class that is stable, and there is not a class that has not been persecuted by Zhao Buxi and his imperial court.

Zhao Buxiu and his court successfully broke away from everyone's support, and successfully became a court that does not represent anyone's interests. The entire system in Sichuan and Shu, which has been stable for more than 100 years, fell apart in just over a year under Zhao Buxiu's operation. On the verge of collapse, Sichuan and Sichuan society is facing all-round reorganization.

Against such a background, Zhao Bunyi still doesn't think that he is suffering from a disaster, and he still feels that everything is changing for the better.

After learning that the third general had rejected his request again, he was very angry. In a fit of rage, he ordered all the three generals' family members to be arrested and thrown into prison, in order to threaten the third general. kill.

Wu Ting was shocked and quickly discouraged him, and assured that the three generals would not be rebellious with his life, but Zhao Buxi ignored him and only ordered Wu Ting to serve as the general of the Chengdu garrison army, to lead the army and be ready at any time. .

Wu Ting couldn't understand how Zhao Buyi's confident appearance came about.

Didn't he know that the three generals were about to force him to rebel?

In fact, Zhao Buxi was already panicking at this time.

He pretended to be confident, but he was just pretending to not let anyone see his panic. He had already realized that he had done something stupid. Riding a tiger is difficult.

At this time, if he changed his approach and surrendered to the three generals, his reputation and reputation would be ruined, and his career as an emperor would probably be over.

Apparently, he still considers himself prestigious.

He didn't know that the three generals had already written letters to each other and planned to cooperate with each other to counter the threat posed to them by the Chengdu court.

During this process, Lu told Xie Qingsheng and Du Ren how to control Meizhou and Jiading Prefecture in Longzhou, which surprised the two of Lu's actions. .

But now that this is the case, they have no other way. They can only choose to learn from Lu, build their own sphere of influence, transform from the imperial army to a warlord on the spot, and complete their warlordization to gain a foundation for survival.

In addition, the three generals began to try to gain contact with the surrounding insurgents and explain to them their willingness to non-aggression.

Let everything in the past be as if it never happened. After that, we will not invade each other. If you want to attack the imperial court, we don’t care. As long as you don’t invade our territory, you can do whatever you want.

Even borrowing is not impossible.

The imperial court does not trust us and wants to engage us, so we can't just wait for the imperial court to come and engage us. How about we not aggress each other and work together?
This proposal touched the hearts of the rebel leaders.

When the three generals and the Chengdu court were about to break up, there were actually some new changes on the side of the rebel army.

After a series of blows and divisions by the Chengdu court, only three of the original large number of rebel armies still exist and can compete with the court army.

The Qihuo army led by Wang Shun who occupied Fushun prison.

Liu Zhuang and Liu Shi, who retreated to Hezhou, led the Ba Shu army under the command of the two brothers.

A mighty army led by Zhu Liang, a self-proclaimed mighty general who retreated to Syria.

The situation of the three armies is not bad, but it is not good either.

Mainly because they were beaten a little bit hard by Song Jun's wave before, and they couldn't react a little bit. After Song Jun slowed down their offensive due to the collapse of Jiaozi, they barely stood firm.

After that, I thought that the days would be more and more difficult, and when I was full of pessimism and even planned to split up, I unexpectedly got some people to take refuge in.

Although these people who took refuge in the peasant rebel army had no money, they were generally a little capable.

They are generally literate, can read and write, and can count. They also have a lot of astronomical and geographical knowledge reserves, economic knowledge reserves, and even some military knowledge.

The joining of hundreds of literate people gave the peasant uprising army a boost. They built bases, laid the foundation for the peasant uprising army, and contacted other small-scale uprising armies. They really helped those in crisis. The three large-scale uprising armies are very busy.

Because of their help, the three rebel armies finally learned the military common sense such as army formation, bugle, army flag, etc. They knew how to fight against the regular army, how to avoid their own unfavorable factors, and attack the enemy with their own strengths. short.

The insurgent army began to have a decent trend.

At the same time, on the advice of these people, the leaders of the rebel army began to have some completely different political ideas from the past.

For example, the two brothers Liu Zhuang and Liu Shi, the bankrupt landlords and gentry who had taken refuge in them gave them some advice, which was very meaningful to them and aroused their thinking.

Why have they failed in the past?
Because they did not have the support of the landlords.
