Chapter 251 National Events In July, the Yangping football match started. At the same time in northern Song Dynasty, the Song and Liao armies achieved temporary tranquility. But the relationship between Liao and Jin was tense. Yelu Chun, the new generalissimo of the Liao army, assembled heavy troops in Tongzhou and launched a large-scale attack on Huanglong Mansion, pushing the front line to 20 miles away from Huanglong Mansion. While Liao Jin resumed the war, the Song army ceased its activities. Yelu Dashi, who had regained his freedom and lost his marshal, strongly demanded attention to the Song army. He believed that only the Song army had the strength to attack Tongzhou and even Linhuang Mansion. The Liao Dynasty also paid great attention to Yelu Dashi's opinions, so it deployed 200,000 troops from Jinzhou to Tongzhou. From Tongzhou to Huanglong Mansion, there are only 70,000 people. Not all Liao weapons were cold weapons. Although the Song Dynasty used similar gunpowder weapons, there were also imitations. Due to immature technology and the limitations of gunpowder processing, heavy artillery could not be produced, but the key equipment of the hand cannon was still available. Grenadiers have gradually become the main force and trump card of the two armies. This is a signal of the transition to cold weapons. If you are good at knife skills, you will have to beg for food until you are old. Both armies attach great importance to the firearms and equipment of the army, but the economic situation of the Liao Kingdom is not optimistic. Due to increased taxes and taxes, a herdsman rebellion occurred in Longhua Prefecture, which was rare in the Liao Dynasty. The herdsmen killed the tax collection officials and then fled into the mountains. Many people responded and gathered in the mountains and forests. And they also got in touch with the Song Imperial Army. This news made the Liao court very uneasy. At everyone's suggestion, the court decided to borrow troops from the tribe. Most of these tribes are tribes in Western Liao who are still in slave society. But they have a great advantage. Their warriors are good at riding and shooting. They are very brave and retain the martial arts style of the Khitan people two hundred years ago. Song and Liao are both making strategic adjustments and deploying troops and generals. Jin Guo is not idle either. One general was also replaced, that is, Deputy Marshal Wanyan Zongbi in charge of Jinnan. Only when Wanyan Zongbi was dismissed did he realize that Ouyang had a more sinister hand. Because he did what Ouyang said and sent the corpse to the murderer, which led to Jin Liao opening fire, he was impeached by Zong Han, who had always been dissatisfied with him, and lost his military power. Of course, if you don't do what Ouyang says, you may have more trouble. Who knows? Facts are facts, and Wanyan Zongbi had reason to suspect that the Song people wanted to land in the waters south of Jin Dynasty. However, his younger brother Wanyan Zongqiang, who succeeded him, was very dissatisfied with this statement. Could it be that if you can defend it, I can't? Tong Guan also didn't expect Ouyang's serial plan to have such a good effect. This was not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy to use the contradictory relationship between them to clearly sow discord between the two countries. The two countries knew that there were problems, so they could only suffer from this. Dumb loss. Of course, you can also explain it to the public, but rather than giving a weak explanation, it is better to jump when you know the trap. It¡¯s like fighting a war. If you are told there is an ambush, you can survive it, but it will take several days to travel. If you want to hurry up, you can only break through the ambush and siege and jump into the trap. Tong Guan was overjoyed when he heard that Wanyan Zongbi had been replaced. To attack the Jin Kingdom, Huanglong Mansion must be captured, but Huanglong Mansion was originally a military center of the Liao Dynasty. Wanyan Aguda used a trick to capture it, and the Jurchens had been operating it for many years, making it even easier to defend and difficult to attack. The Jurchens are relatively weak in the sea. Landing from the south of the Jurchens is an easier and more successful strategy to deal with the Jurchens. Most people think that the Song Dynasty did not dare to fight on both sides, but Tong Guan had been in Hebei for so many years and he was very clear about the grievances between the Liao and Jin Dynasties. He believes that the most remarkable thing about the two countries is that they do not go to war with each other and cannot jointly fight. ¡ ¡ When Tong Guan adjusted his strategy and submitted it for approval, he didn¡¯t know that there was a lot of trouble in Song Dynasty. This trouble comes from a small thing that Zhao Yu said. It is the bell phase of the Great Sage. Zhang Xuanming went to deal with this matter, of course, quietly. But no one expected that the wife of Dingzhou Zhizhou was actually a believer in the mutual aid association. When the news leaked out, Zhong Xiang Yang Mo launched an uprising or violence. Xun led his followers to occupy Wuling. And defeated the Dingzhou army supervised by Zhang Xuanming. Burning government offices, cities, monasteries, temples and the homes of powerful people, killing officials, Confucian scholars, monks, witch doctors, fortune-tellers and people with quarrels. They made killing officials a legal practice and dividing property equally. He denounced the laws of the Song Dynasty as evil laws. Anyone who joins the rebel army is exempted from taxes and is not bound by official laws. These propositions and actions have been enthusiastically supported by the people and are regarded as "natural and natural". The war soon spread to Tanzhou, where land was divided, local tyrants were beaten, family property was divided, enemies were killed, and taxes were exempted. Driven by such very real interests, the peasants at the bottom who already had class conflicts and were oppressed responded quickly. Within a month, the uprising spread to more than a dozen counties, and Dongting Lake became their base. During this period, Hubei Road carried out encirclement and suppression of the uprising, but all ended in failure. "Xiang Zhong established himself as the King of Chu, and Zhong Ziang became the prince. He also sent officials from the first, second, and ninth grades." After reading the news, Ou Ping asked: "Master, if Sister Huilan asked about the news, what's wrong?" "No." Ouyang Backstroke in the swimming pool, I thought about it for a while and said, "This kind of thing is very annoying." Business associations in several states suffered heavy losses, and they became the first targets to be attacked. Fortunately for the bank, the banker immediately burned and destroyed all the banknotes in stock. These statesThe economy is not developed, so there is not much gold and silver in reserve. But the wealthy families suffered. There is no need to talk about the place, and there is no need to talk about the family property. His head fell off and all his wives were robbed. The land was divided, and even the houses were divided equally. There was also a member of the House of Representatives who was forced to tell the password of the bank's token. However, the rebels discovered that all the banks were on fire. They sent people to sneak into other local banks to exchange a penny, but they couldn't get a penny because Dingzhou was in chaos and all the funds worth more than a thousand dollars were frozen. In the end, the whole family of the seat member was killed. What Ouyang was still unhappy about was that six reporters and more than 20 printing workers from the Royal Newspaper were detained, and Zhong Xiang forced them to publish the Dachu Newspaper. Imitate the Royal Newspaper and spread rumors wantonly. People in the prefectures and counties surrounding the uprising area are panicked. This uprising is similar to Wang Xiaobo¡¯s uprising in the early Song Dynasty, both rich and poor. But the difference is that their purpose from the beginning was political. This kind is the most difficult to deal with. For example, Song Jiang, although he also killed officials, he only killed officials with a very bad reputation. He also robbed the rich, but to save the poor, not to win over soldiers. Song Jiang was anti-official but not anti-Song. Therefore, the nature of this incident is very bad. Zhao Yu was angry, but also very embarrassed. The current embarrassment is that there are no troops around to adjust. Among the hundreds of uprisings that took place during the founding of the Song Dynasty, many border troops were used. That is, elites like the Northwest Army Road and Hebei East Road were used to encircle and suppress them. However, the current situation of confrontation and the withdrawal of troops will disrupt the strategic deployment. And far water cannot quench near thirst. "We can only order the Commander-in-Chief on Hubei Road to mobilize nearby scattered troops to exterminate them, and let the local powerful recruit local warriors to protect themselves." When the news spread, people were dissatisfied with Zhao Yu's passive resistance. As a mainstream media, the Royal News reported what it saw and heard relatively objectively. They characterized Zhong Xiang's behavior of getting something for nothing as the Huns who had invaded the Central Plains for hundreds of years. Compared with poor areas, civilians in wealthy areas are more disapproving of Zhong Xiang's behavior. In particular, the targets they kill are too broad and aggressive. The people were dissatisfied with Zhao Yu's decision, and the ministers were also dissatisfied. This time, both the new and old factions formed a unity and demanded the Tokyo Forbidden Army to be encircled and suppressed. Liu Qi also asked for a battle. If he was given ten thousand people, he would definitely be able to defeat Zhong Xiang's one hundred thousand rebels. The Business Association offered a reward of 10,000 yuan for Zhong Xiang's head. At the same time, it stated that if the imperial army was dispatched to encircle and suppress the army, the Business Association would invest millions as military expenses. In the end, Zhao Yu finally agreed and ordered Liu Qi as the general and Ouyang as the supervisor to go to Dongting Lake to suppress it. Looking at Zhao Yu's appointment, we know that Zhao Yu hopes to fight to the death. Liu Qi and Ouyang fought together, many people died, and the results were huge. Ouyang didn¡¯t know about the appointment yet, so he just lay in the water and looked at the sky. The big issue this time has a lot to do with regional inequality. The gap between rich and poor counties is too great. If wealthy counties consume more, prices will rise. Prices in poor counties will not stay still, but will rise. Many people say that it is slander and nonsense that unruly people come out of poor places. They think that the poorer this person is, the kinder he becomes. Ouyang doesn't think so. Looking at the nearly 100-year history of the Song Dynasty, most of the uprisings were in poor counties. Ouyang does not deny that they have a certain sense of justice and dissatisfaction with the government. But Ouyang did not support them. A just cause is not absolutely a right cause. This is a truth that many people do not understand until their death. The most important thing is what is justice? Everyone has their own standards of measurement. If others get a lot of money without putting in a lot of effort, but if you put in a lot of effort but have no money, you will think this is social injustice. But the point is, among people like Zhong Xiang, they are not doing it for fairness or unfairness, but for themselves to be people who get something without paying. Many people in modern times hate corrupt officials, and some of them do not shy away from saying that they themselves are also corrupt when they are officials. This is a rather strange social psychology. "Master" Ou Ping asked while drinking water: "How big do you think Zhong Xiang can be?" "Almost." Ouyang replied: "He first used religious influence to turn himself into a god and establish a personality cult. He can gather people together and exert influence. But his influence is limited after all. "Master, they share the benefits. You often say that they are rewarded. "Is there a brave man?" "Ou Ping, if you buy a liter of rice twice, will it weigh exactly the same twice?" "So, whether they are willing to admit it or not, there is always a lot of unfairness. Yes. Those who have merit will be rewarded, but they will be rewarded more than others. Why do you do meritorious service if you don't reward others? "Ouyang said: "The basis of this hypocrisy is believers, and those who join for profit are not stable. Seeing how rampant this group is, they still dare to build a country, but they are not confident enough. It is also internal strife. If Song Dynasty was not strong now, Jin Liao would have taken the opportunity to attack. " After Zhao Yu took office, he basically did not have to live due to tax issues. area. So for so many years, Song Dynasty has developed steadily. But using religion and profit to drive ignorant people is another matter. As soon as the official document arrived, Ouyang happily brought a few people to join Liu Qi's army. The fastest way to get to Dongting Lake is to take South Beijing Road, and then take the waterway through the Han River to Jiangling Mansion. As soon as you arrive at Gangneung Mansion, you can see the local??The security is tight. The magistrate of the city is recruiting local warriors. Many famous generals in the Song Dynasty were promoted through this method. There are also many famous generals who got promotion opportunities by suppressing peasant uprisings. Arriving at Jiangling Mansion, the first combat meeting was officially held. Liu Qi introduced: "Most of the sergeants under my command are not accustomed to water, so it is more dangerous to travel by water. It takes a lot of time to travel to Dingzhou by land, and the thieves are strong. If every city must be defended, the journey will be more difficult." Ouyang said: "I heard that Dingzhou is surrounded by water on three sides, and the thieves are skilled in water. Even if Dingzhou is conquered, it may not mean much." You marched to Dingzhou with great difficulty, and when you finally conquered Dingzhou, you saw that they had run away. Liu Qi asked: "What do you think, sir?" Ouyang asked: "Can we let him come to us?" "What you mean is" Liu Qi thought about it and said: "It may not be impossible, but you may be in danger. ¡°I¡¯ve choked people to death while eating, so there¡¯s no danger in what I do.¡±¡ Yuezhou is also a violent area. Except for two counties where Jiangling Prefecture has sent troops for defense, the rest are all bandit areas. Ouyang arrived at these two counties with a thousand troops. What is Ouyang doing? Ouyang came to visit the distressed merchants and provide accommodation to the merchants and their families who had lost their property. As soon as this news came out, the thieves were very excited. According to the information, Ouyang will stay in these two counties for a few days because he has to attract business association members and family members from Yuezhou, Dingzhou, and Tanzhou. Zhong Xiang was overjoyed when he heard the news, but he was cautious and asked: "Didn't I hear that Liu Qi brought 10,000 people?" The spy said: "If I get back to the King of Chu, Liu Qi's troops have arrived at Jiangling Mansion and are currently recruiting. Shui Yong, collect the ships and prepare to go to Dingzhou. " "Are you sure that Liu Qi is in Dingzhou?" "The king of Chu didn't know that the man named Liu had a false name and hooked up with Xiao Taohong when he arrived in Jiangling. It's like a fight every day. His troops are practicing swimming outside the city. "Xiao Taohong," Zhong Xiang nodded. This is Jiangling Mingji, a native of Dingzhou. After all, he is still a distant relative of Zhong Xiang. Although he has nothing to do with the rebels, if Xiao Taohong can help hold Liu Qi back, he can capture Ouyang alive. Capturing Ouyang alive is absolutely good news for the rebels. Zhong Xiang shouted: "Come, please invite General Yang Mo." The whitebait in Dongting Lake has a good taste and excellent meat quality. Ouyang was very satisfied after taking one bite. The Dongting whitebait had a unique flavor. He is now in a village between the two counties, about ten miles away from Dongting Lake. This place is good. It takes two hours for the two counties to receive the report and come to the rescue. It is really convenient for others to cause trouble for me. Moreover, the scenery here is beautiful and the women are also very beautiful. The owner of this restaurant is a widow named Mei Niang. She is less than thirty and has a very sexy figure. Of course, it is ancient times after all. You have to peel it off to find out. On the second day Ouyang was stationed, he hooked up with Mei Niang. Mei Niang is not only good at bed, but also has top-notch cooking skills. Ouyang ate whitebait and was fed wine by the beauty beside him. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The feeling of sex is so good. "How do you feel, sir?" Ouyang asked seductively: "Is it last night, or will it be later?" "I hate it, of course I want to ask how the fish tastes." Ouyang took Mei Niang's index finger and sucked it and said, "Of course. "You taste the best." "You haven't told me if it tastes good?" "Okay, okay." Ouyang rubbed his face against her chest and said, "Damn it, I'll get some wine." He grabbed Ouyang's thigh and went downstairs charmingly. Zhang San, who was standing behind Ouyang, whispered to Li Si: "If General Liang knew, would this Mei Niang be thrown into the sea to feed the fish?" Li Si said seriously: "Don't talk nonsense, you must have realized that Mei Niang is a spy. , then I used her to spread the news." "Nonsense." Ouyang drank and said, "You're not that clever. You can find out who the spy is just by scanning the place. It just so happens that this place is far away from the water. It's far away from the city. You are too young. Women are really interesting when they are thirty years old. They have taste and understand what men like to hear and eat. " Zhang Sanhan said: " Sir, are you really kidding me? " "Nonsense, sleeping with women is part of my job?" Ouyang said: "Of course, there are other reasons to stay here, but one reason is to resettle the victims, and the other reason is to play with women. "Which one do you think is better?" Li Si said: "Sir, Zhang San means that there is only one woman in this place who is the best. He is jealous of you." "How can I be jealous?" Zhang San said unhappily. What should I do if I'm worried that Zhong Xiang really comes? General Liu will take the risk.Is the risk too much? " "Zhang San, it's like doing business. To become a nouveau riche, you need to take risks. Every day spent here will destroy the local economy and kill more people. It will be even more difficult to resume production in the future. Ouyang said: "Besides, General Liu said he was 70% sure." " Li Si smiled and said: "Zhang San, learn a little bit. It is a national matter for adults to play with women. " "What national event? "Mei Niang appeared with a smile. Ouyang grabbed her hand and pulled her, letting her sit on his lap and said with a smile: "They said that it is serious for me to play with women. " "whee. "Mei Niang rubbed Ouyang's body, picked up the wine and fed Ouyang and said: "Then you have to play until you have enough before leaving. " "Isn't that why you can't leave for the rest of your life? " "Then don't leave. "Mei Niang nibbled Ouyang's ear. Ouyang waved his hand: "You guys go out, Mei Niang and I have important matters to discuss. " Important things Zhang San and Li Si laughed in their hearts. They had important things to do last night, and there are still important things in broad daylight. In Dongting Lake, ten miles away from here, two men were talking. "Is Ouyang really here? " "It's true. " "How many people are around you? " "one thousand. " "What is he doing here? " "What? Just play with women. He gets together with a woman named Mei Niang every day. " "Mei Niang" "A widow, very coquettish, with a swaying buttocks when walking. She often takes a bath in the yard, which makes the younger generation climb the wall. She ignored him and sang a little song. " "There is no need to go into such detail. If you want to have sex with me, if Ouyang is arrested, there will be many women in the world for you to choose from. What about those Custodes? " "How can the Forbidden Army be so good with the general's virtue? I heard that they brought dozens of women from the city and the officials were fooling around every night. Being a soldier is all about gambling, drinking, and spanking. Ban this army, a bunch of hooligans. " "Then Ouyang has seen any businessmen. "No, just set up a point in the city and let the businessmen report it themselves." When will you take action? " "The night after tomorrow. " "good"
