Chapter 1114 The Opportunity of Five Divisions and Seven Surnames

On the morning of December 29th, the first year of Longwu, Yang Yinglong received a shocking news.

His son, the eldest son, Yang Chaodong, led [-] elite soldiers to conquer Ma Qiancheng, the general army in Sichuan. As a result, the entire army was wiped out in Qijiang County. Marching towards Sanyuanba has already threatened Tongzi.

If he breaks through Tongzi, there will be no defensive facilities that can stop him before Loushan Pass, and he can only rely on the natural barriers of Loushan Pass to stop him.

Yang Yinglong turned pale with fright, at first he couldn't believe this fact at all, until a group of defeated soldiers who escaped with less than one hundred people appeared in front of him crying and complained to him, then he believed this fact, and then ordered them to be killed to kill.

The Lord will be captured, and you will not be eligible to come back alive.

After this group of people were killed, even worse news came.

Yang Zhu's army was defeated in Longquan County. Only more than 2000 people escaped and the rest were either captured or killed. He led the army aggressively to Sangmu Pass.

On the 29th, there was no news of Yang Weidong left. After Yang Yinglong suffered two major blows in succession, he still had a faint thought that he could win a victory in the south and restore the precarious situation.

The news of the two major defeats, especially the killing of Bozhou's number one brave general Yang Zhu by Liu Ting, is too shocking and has greatly damaged the morale of the Bozhou Army. If there is no more victory in the south, Yang Yinglong Then you can consider tidying up Shanghai Longtun as a turtle.

He didn't sleep all night, just waiting for the news.

In the early morning of the [-]th, the news came.

Yang Weidong lost the battle and was captured himself. The 1000 army was wiped out, and less than [-] escaped. Feilian Fort fell, and Tianbangtun was in a hurry.

Hope was completely shattered, and Tian Yufeng, who was waiting for the news by Yang Yinglong's side, was also frightened and dumbfounded. She looked at Yang Yinglong in a panic, bewildered.

At this time, she is also vulnerable, she needs a man like Yang Yinglong to give her a sense of dependability and stability.

But after Yang Yinglong heard the news, he didn't speak for a long time, suddenly his face turned pale, he spurted a mouthful of blood, and he fell to the ground and passed out.

"what------!!!"

Tian Yufeng's screams heralded a not-so-good future.

It was already the night of the [-]th when Yang Yinglong woke up, and he found himself lying on the bed with the sound of crying.

He turned his head with some difficulty, and saw Tian Female Feng crying on the edge of the bed.

Memories of the day flooded into his mind like a flood, and he suddenly remembered the messages that made him so angry that he fainted.

Although he was a little uneasy when he sent his troops out, and he was always uneasy after sending them out, he still never expected that the three-way army would be exhausted and the resistance would be a complete failure.

At present, there are less than 10,000 men and horses at hand. Facing the [-]+ menacing Qin army, defeat seems to be a foregone conclusion.

He began to regret why he took the initiative to attack. If he could firmly hold the key points, Qin Jun would not be able to threaten the foundation of his Bozhou so simply.

He began to realize what a stupid thing he had done before.

But there is no regret medicine in the world, even if there is, it can't save so many lives and such a tragic defeat.

His two sons were arrested, and his relative Yang Zhu was killed. His strength suddenly fell to the bottom and plummeted.

Maybe there was capital to negotiate with the imperial court before, but now, it is gone.

Tian Female Phoenix was still sobbing softly, making Yang Yinglong upset.

"Why are you crying? I'm not dead!"

He propped up his upper body by force, and looked at Tian Female Feng with dissatisfaction.

He, Yang Yinglong, was just defeated, but he was not dead yet, and he still had the strength to fight. Why did she cry like this?Like weeping?

"Husband... you're awake..."

Tian Yufeng quickly wiped away her tears, and helped Yang Yinglong up.

"I'm not dead yet, why are you crying? Do you think I'm bound to die?"

Yang Yinglong was still very dissatisfied.

Tian Yufeng quickly shook her head.

"No, husband, this morning, after the news of Weidong's defeat came, the Luo family, Wang family and He family immediately announced that they would fight for the official army. They all turned against each other. The other families, Song family and Luo family, also Followed together and reversed.

They now occupy the third divisions of Wengshui Yuqing and Rongshan, gathering tens of thousands of troops, saying that they want to wait for the officers and soldiers to come together and attack us together, my husband, what should we do? "

There was unconcealable panic in Tian Yufeng's tone.

The Yang family is the suzerain of Bozhou, and under it there is a vassal group of five divisions and seven surnames. They are all surnames who joined the broadcast with Yang Yinglong's ancestor Yang Duan in the third year of Tang Xizong's Qianfu. For hundreds of years, it has coexisted with Yang's chieftain.

The chieftain system in China has gradually been perfected since the founding of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty. There are strict rules for succession, and there are rules and regulations to follow. It is still the same rule. Anyone with five divisions and seven surnames who inherits the position of chief justice must have the letter of inheritance, and the seal of the comfort division is required. The benefits attached to this kind of suzerainty are self-evident.

As a result, the suzerain Yang often extorted bribes endlessly, wasting huge amounts of money, and the successors suffered unbearably. The affection for starting the foundation together was exhausted in the long years of mutual exploitation.

In the Yang Yinglong period, with the corruption of the Ming court and the economic crisis in the south of the Yangtze River caused by the silver shortage caused by the destruction of the Spanish Armada, Bozhou's situation became more and more difficult.

The life of several provinces in the interior is not easy, and everyone knows that Bozhou is rich and rich. Officials in Sichuan and Guizhou provinces are greedy, and they try to find ways to benefit. Solicit bribes.

Those who were exploited here couldn't stand it anymore, so they could only shift the pressure downwards. Therefore, Yang Yinglong deliberately exploited and made things difficult for the local locals to whom the Fifth Division belonged, extorting bribes in various ways. Huo Suo, the five divisions and seven surnames united to turn against the suzerain Yang.

They relied on the governor of Guizhou to attack Yang Yinglong. The governor of Guizhou took advantage of the opportunity of the rebellion of five divisions and seven surnames to suppress Bozhou.

Yang Yinglong's tyrannical temper couldn't bear the tyranny of corrupt officials in his den, so he made a move.

In the autumn of the 24th year of Wanli, Yang Yinglong sent troops to attack many small chieftains under his jurisdiction. The case of chief Yu Qing, the chief of Caotang, the chief of Huangping and the chief of Chong'an were brutally and bloodily killed by him. The relationship between master and slave for hundreds of years was completely severed. .

He really wanted to get rid of the evil, but on the one hand, Ming Ting's timely intervention made him have to stop, on the other hand, he had indeed made too many enemies, and he had to face the pressure from the other three chieftains.

Some people from the five divisions and seven surnames survived, hated him to the bone, and always looked for opportunities to take revenge on him, but the Yang family's military strength is strong, and Yang Zhu's victory over the three armies is a great deterrent. For these troops, the five divisions and seven Survivors with the last name were terrified.

But this time, they waited for a golden opportunity.
