Yi Song

Chapter 286 I can do it too
Fangla, a great tycoon in western Zhejiang, rebelled and gathered a hundred thousand people to capture Qingxi, Sui'an, Shouchang and Muzhou.

He worshiped heaven and earth in Muzhou City, called himself Holy Duke, and changed his name to Yongle. Prime ministers, marshals and other officials and generals are set up, and their ranks are distinguished by headscarves. They are divided into six levels from the red scarf upwards.

After the shock of the soldiers and civilians in Bianjing, they did not take it seriously.

Officials' civility becomes martial virtue, and our court's martial virtue is abundant! The Hexi family that had been causing trouble for hundreds of years was wiped out. A local tycoon in the southeast was nothing.

It’s nothing more than the second Huaibei Tian Wenhu!

The people talked like this, but those who were thoughtful saw the opportunity.

"Your Majesty, I feel that I should write to the officials and invite the commander-in-chief of the Southeast to quell the civil unrest in Fangla."

In the front hall of Prince Jia's Mansion, Qin Hui couldn't wait to suggest to Zhao Kai.

Wan Qixi immediately agreed: "Brother Hui's words are very true. Your Majesty will make a plan early and be one step ahead."

Zhao Kaizhi nodded with satisfaction.

Hu Shijiang quickly echoed, "You can't kill a chicken with a bull's-eye! This victory is nothing more than this! If you lose, the king's reputation will be completely ruined. Your Majesty, why should you be so impatient? This will probably disappoint the famous scholars from all over the country."

His reputation among scholars was his greatest support. In his mind, it was as precious as his eyes.

right! King, you finally understand my good intentions!
Qin Hui said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the most elite soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty are none other than the Western Army. However, the Western Army is under the control of Liu Erlang, and it is difficult to separate the soldiers and soldiers.

Wan Qixi said categorically: "I have the same opinion as my brother Hui!"

"Western Army?" Zhao Kai looked at Qin Hui and said thoughtfully: "Mr. Huizhi wants me to use the pacification of Fang La to mobilize soldiers and horses from the Western Army. When the chaos is quelled, I can recruit more troops and recruit them as my subordinates." used."

Yes, it does seem like the gains are small and the losses are big.

Now the opportunity has come, I want to prove to my father and the world that I can do it too!
Sun Fu and Hu Shi will look at each other with anger in their hearts.

Liu Erlang is good at fighting, so I am not bad either. If he regains the old land of Lingwu, I can also pacify the southeast.

Qin Hui and Wan Qixi looked at each other and cursed in their hearts, being a slanderous scholar is useless!
But King Jia still had to talk things through and take back the initiative.

"Western Army!" Qin Hui said decisively.

Qin Hui and Wan Qixi looked at each other, and they had a tacit understanding to show their papery brotherhood more clearly than Jin Jian.

How am I worse than him? It's just a lack of opportunity.

Straight bitches, you two are like mung beans looking at bastards, you have made eye contact. These days you sing me and me, and you steal the show in front of King Jia.

Zhao Kai thought for a moment and asked, "What's the intention?"

Now God has given us a good opportunity. Your Majesty has become the commander of the army and asked you to lead troops south to put down the rebellion. Then, through the decree of Yubi, he mobilized good generals and soldiers from the Western Army and used them for his own use.

We must fight back, otherwise will there be room for us in the future?
Sun Fu stroked his beard and said with a sly look on his face: "Fang La is a little thief, just a grass bandit. King Jia went out to fight in person. This is devaluing himself and making the world laugh at him."

"Your Majesty, when you use troops, you don't care about wine."

It will be of great use when the Northern Expedition recovers the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. "

Zhao Kai, who was eager to try, was poured cold water on his head.

Sun Fu quickly retorted: "Now that Northern Liao is in dire straits, he wants to cede the sixteen states of Yanyun in order to seek an alliance and fight against the Zhenwu Department. When the king goes north, he only needs a clerk in the office to take over all sixteen states. Why bother?" Use the warrior Chi Lao to share your military merits with them in vain."

"Absurd! The Sixteen States of Yanyun were the land of hundreds of battles. The people were tough and thieves were everywhere. That's why they were abandoned by the Northern Liao Dynasty. Give it to me, the Song Dynasty, and we can recover it without spending a single soldier. Let me ask Master Sun, how do you suppress the local government and collect taxes? "

"You are ridiculous! The sixteen states of Yanyun have been hanging outside the pass for a long time, admiring the saintly virtues. The soldiers and the people are united and have returned to the king early. All the soldiers and civilians of the sixteen states will respond to the king's flag. The soldiers and people of the sixteen states will definitely eat the pots of pulp to welcome the king's division. . Even if there are a few stubborn and cunning people, they can educate the saints, enlighten the people's wisdom, convince people with virtue, and benefit people everywhere."

Later, both sides opposed it purely for the sake of opposition, and the reasons they came up with were all kinds of strange, but they were also very plausible.

After Zhao Kai heard this, his mind was half filled with water and half filled with flour, which was completely mixed by the constant stirring of the two groups.

He is most similar to his father Zhao Ji, and his indecisive temperament is also strikingly similar.

In the study room of Duke Yan's mansion, Liu Guozhang, Yu Wenxuanzhong and Zhang Zeduan were discussing Fang La's affairs.

"Now all parties feel that Fang La is not a threat, and many people are ready to invite troops to lead their own troops and go to the southeast to earn some military merit." Zhang Zeduan said, smacking his lips.

"Especially Prince Jia's Mansion. Qin Hui, Wan Qixi and others encouraged the three kings to take the opportunity to mobilize troops and generals from the Western Army for their own use. But Sun Fu, Hu Shijiang and others desperately opposed it.

Now the three kings have become several big.

Over in the East Palace, Old Master Geng didn't know why, but his heart was moved, and he jumped up and down, urging the prince to ask him to be the governor of the two Zhejiang provinces, specializing in quelling the rebellion. It's just his ability, everyone knows it. The prince also knows it in his heart, and he responds in words, but in fact he keeps suppressing it.

However, there are some signs that the prince intends to let the prince's brother Zhu Xiaosun go to the southeast.

Wang Fu, Wu Min, Cai You and others also have their own desires. "

Liu Guozhang shook his head, "Everyone in the court regards Fang La as a sick cat and thinks they can pinch it at will. Have they ever thought about what if Fang La is a crazy tiger?"

Yuwen Xuanzhong's expression changed slightly, "Is it so serious?"

How is it not serious? In order to eradicate the officials and local aristocratic families who were against her, Murong Jun's support for Fang La could be described as crazy.

Coupled with Fang Tianbao, a multi-faceted spy, causing trouble inside, Fang La is no longer a grassroots team with few swords, guns and soldiers.

He was originally a deviant leader and acted crazy, but now someone is secretly blessing him, and his destructive power on the official circles and aristocratic families in Zhejiang and Southeast China will be far greater than in the original history.

Seeing Liu Guozhang's hesitant expression, the clever Yu Wenxuan and the talented Zhang Zeduan quickly guessed it.

It turns out that there is a trace of the man from Yangzhou in it.

Yu Wenxuanzhong flapped his folding fan in his hand and said slowly: "The southeastern land was originally jointly managed by Tong Guan and Cai Jing for many years. Zhu Meng and his son were just their minions, gathering abundant wealth to provide troops for the northwest.

Later, Zhu Meng and his son, Cai Jing, and Tong Guan were executed one after another. We seized a lot of power, but most of the local aristocratic families that originally relied on Cai Tong became attached to Wang Fu and Prince Jia's palace. He also colluded with local officials, and actually became a phenomenon of his own!
I heard that Master Lingguang was doing business in the southeast and was often bullied by these bastards. Lord, if Fang La makes a big fuss, we can add fuel to the flames and burn it down. "

Zhang Zeduan said: "The situation in the southeast must be resolved by our hands. Last month, reports came from the northwest. Li Qianshun incited tens of thousands of people from the Hehuang and Fan tribes to rebel against the Song Dynasty. It was just right."

"In the land of Hehuang, there are many old Tubo tribes, so Li Zhongjie is not suitable. I moved him to Fengzhou to garrison to defend against the Xixia and Nianbage tribes from the west.

I handed over the Hehuang strategy to Liu Fa and Zhong Shizhong, who took charge of the attack. Liu Zhongwu and Zhong Shidao were stationed in Lanzhou and Yingli Prefecture respectively, and were in charge of the defense. To deal with the remnants of the Hexi family in Liangzhou, we still use the old method, cutting off the wings one by one, and finally encircling them and attacking them. "

"It's calm in the north, but I guess it must be Beiliao and Zhenwu Department, each gathering strength and preparing to launch a fatal blow to the opponent.

In fact, it wasn't actually peaceful. "

Yu Wenxuanzhong took Zhang Zeduan's words and said, "No matter what, the main force of the Western Army cannot move. One move may completely destroy Wushuofang's old territory. The government's enthusiasm has not yet passed. If these two places are lost, no one can afford it."

When the urgent news comes that Fang La is a crazy tiger, all parties will definitely cease their activities. "

"I hope so!" Liu Guozhang said.

A month had passed, and when the various forces in North Korea and China were vying for the position of commander-in-chief of quelling the rebellion in the southeast, an urgent report came out, which immediately silenced everyone.
