Chapter 187 Knight's Walk (17) (2 in 1 Debt Repayment)
At the end of August, Taoist Wei immediately went east to Dongping County to meet Zu Chenyan, and immediately made a successful connection.
In the first ten days of September, the leaders of the Chulong Gang who had received the summons also turned back one after another. Even at Putai, Fang Yanshi, who was most dissatisfied with the troops crossing the river and attacking Dengzhou, had already set off even if Cheng Dalang was not able to come. Xiongbo Nanxiong Tianwang promised that if the city of Dengzhou is destroyed in the near future, he will come here alone.
However, Xiao Zhou and Lu Er among the Lu brothers still temporarily stayed in Putai Water Village because of Zhang Xing's instructions.
That's right, because of military purposes, the tidal flat was fenced off after all, and became a military important area where idlers were not allowed to enter.
In the first ten days of September, let’s not mention the imminent move of the Dragon Gang for the time being. Let’s just say that on this day, the city of Dengzhou County, which had not seen reinforcements for a long time, finally declared the city broken, and the rebels poured into the city. Immediately, the surrounding Yidu, Beihai, Famous cities such as Linzi were also swept up.So far, as early as the period when the three clans were fighting for supremacy, the prosperous area in the lower reaches of Dahe, which was once the core ruling area of the Eastern Chu Kingdom, has completely turned the sky upside down.
In all fairness, Gao Shitong is the descendant of the Gao family in the Eastern Qi Dynasty, and Sun Xuanzhi is also a powerful man. Even Wang Hou, who can compose the song "The Song of Death in the Wuxiang Dongyi Wave", should have been a low-level official. They all have a little understanding Yes... So, even though the three chiefs tried to push back on each other during the siege, they all had the traditional skill of letting the miscellaneous names go first. All three of them also issued relevant orders to maintain military discipline, and they followed their promises to open the official warehouse and release food in proportion.
Killing officials, demoting officials, opening warehouses, recruiting troops, intrigue, intimidation, recruiting heroes, trying to create a big leader, these things, there are things that should be there, and there are things that shouldn't be.
However, this classic wave of Rebels didn't last long.
After all, after the city of Dengzhou County was broken, it was inevitable to send leaders to the surrounding towns to sweep them in. At this time, the good and bad of these leaders were revealed, and the lack of strict organization of the army was undoubtedly revealed:
Some leaders were born officials, powerful, educated and trained, so they could have a decent posture in their minds, and then followed the description, but forgot to provide food for the common people, and made gestures with the surrendered officials in the city all day long;
Some are born at the bottom, everything is good, and they are the most enthusiastic about giving food and wealth, but they can't walk in front of the officials' ladies;
Others are simply from cities or villages. They are the bravest in battle and the least afraid of death. They are also the group whose status has improved the fastest after the rebels swarmed up, but they can't help being reckless after controlling a city. Gold and silver Money, wine and women are all wanted, so that there are a lot of looting and killing.
Is there any official who still knows how to distribute food to the people?
Is there anyone born at the bottom who is clean at the same time?
Is there anyone who was born as a rogue, and then suddenly woke up and stopped in time?
There are.
But it is also destined that someone will plunge into it, not to mention, with the development of the situation, hundreds of thousands of rebels have captured the city, with Dengzhou as the core, the territory is expanding every day, and the number of leaders who occupy a single place and set up their own banners is also increasing every day , Mutual obedience is getting weaker and weaker, and their actions are naturally becoming more unscrupulous.
Of course, these things did not delay Xiong Bonan's return to the upper reaches of Jishui immediately after breaking the city. However, on September [-]th, they successfully turned back to Niujiazhuang outside Puyang City.
At this time, the situation in Niujiazhuang was completely different from when he left last month. At least there were many more people, families and powerful people, officials and bandits, Hebei and the East, literati and warriors, all gathered together.
Xiong Bonan is known as the King of Purple Face, and he is an old master of condensing alchemy. He has always been rampant in Hebei, the Central Plains, and the Eastern Territory. , In turn, it caused waves in the already restless Niujiazhuang. Many people came to invite and visit, as a gesture, which made him dizzy.
Of course, King Xiongtian was a little tricky. He first went to meet Zhang Xing, Li Shu and Taoist Wei, then turned around and went to meet the local landlord Niu Da, and his friend Xu Dalang, followed by Shan Dalang and Wang Wulang, and then It is those heroes who he has met many famous people, but are really newcomers.
And on the third day after Xiong Bonan arrived at Niujiazhuang, Taoist Wei couldn't bear it anymore, and at the same time, he had an audience with Zhang Xing and Li Shu. The first layer opened a small tea party.
"Two."
Daoist Wei no longer wears Taoist robes, but a clean and neat green brocade jacket, which complements Zhang Xing's dark brocade jacket and Li Shu's plain brocade jacket. After the two faucets poured the tea, they were quite crisp. "You can't procrastinate any longer, because there is no time to lose. No matter how big the disagreement is, it's time to take the overall situation into consideration and settle the matter one by one! Besides, King Xiongtian is back, so you don't have anything to say to continue the confrontation, right? "
Zhang Xing and Li Shu looked at each other, and they understood each other's meaning in an instant, which made them feel a little bit at ease.
To put it bluntly, there must be confrontation.
This time, the revolutionary cause was developing rapidly, and both sides and their respective leaders brought back a large number of people. There must be fierce disputes about the number of leaders. Personnel is politics, which concerns the fundamentals of the two.
At the same time, people on both sides still have some obvious geographical and class antagonisms, which further caused the division of forces between the two sides.
However, it was not because of this that the two of them did not hold a formal gathering process for a long time.
"Chairman Wei thinks that the reason why the two of us are unwilling to settle the matter is because we are confronting each other in private?" Li Shu spoke coldly, watching the teacup in front of him remain motionless.
"Isn't it?" Wei Xuanding sneered for a moment and asked back. "Those big families who came here with you, Second Master Li, are going to hold their faces to the sky, so they almost said directly that I should be above all of you rammers... what do you think? The faction is lowly, and the leadership system is out of order, so they almost said that the Dragon Gang was abolished and started anew... Is this a fake? Can you bear it, Mr. Zhang?"
The last sentence suddenly turned to another person's face.
"Of course I can't bear it." Zhang Xing picked up his teacup and answered with a straight face before Li Shu. "We are rebelling now, not a separatist system. How can there be so many arguments? Besides, the form of the gang was originally established to take care of the reckless people in the world. What do you replace with a tyrant or a shogunate? Those who come from noble families are Shu Tan Yes, but the partners who were born in the grass and lakes don’t know what to do at all? This kind of thing, only officials can be compatible with the people, and those who know more can take care of those who know less. It can only make those Hebei aristocratic children feel wronged and become gang leaders. "
"This is indeed the case." Li Shu paused, but he was straightforward. "It's not like I'm a brother who doesn't have a reckless background. How can I not know this truth? The children of everyone in Hebei are here to help charity. I will tell them about such trivial matters. Chief Wei doesn't have to worry too much... Or Say, people have worked so hard to come here, and they should be kicked out just because they said a few words?"
"It's not necessary to throw them out, but we should restrain ourselves." Daoist Wei smiled again. "It's them who come to us, not us to them... If you don't understand this, you will make trouble sooner or later... At worst, you should follow the example of those Cui people and sneak around and leave, right?"
These words are a bit heavy, and I don't know whether it is the exposure of nature or the recent pride that made this Taoist think differently.
Probably because of this, Li Shu glanced at the other party and did not respond directly, but looked at Zhang Xing again: "Master Zhang, what do you mean?"
"People will change. If you experience more, you will admit it sooner or later." Zhang Xing replied earnestly. "But with such a posture, you can't be a big leader."
"Fang Yanlang is not qualified to be a great leader?" Li Shu also became serious. "He has no qualifications, no reputation, or no manpower and material resources to dispatch?"
"Then just add him as one." Zhang Xing also smiled. "If there are too many big bosses, the price will drop instead, and the rest of the big bosses will be dissatisfied."
Li Shu also laughed when he heard the words: "Then he is alone... On your right side are the four big leaders Du Meng, the auxiliary deputy leader, Wang Wulang, and Cheng Dalang. On my left side are Fang Yanlang, Xu Shiying, Shan Tonghai has three people, one is missing, plus Xiong Tianwang, four pairs of four, together with the eight heavenly kings, they will live together."
"How absurd is Mr. Li?" Zhang Xing swallowed his tea helplessly, put down his cup to argue. "I really want the Huaiyou League to help me, but how can they move? It's me, you, and me...Xiong Tianwang should be on the right. Just let it go."
"These big bosses are not up to us, they want to talk about people's belonging." Li Shu immediately shook his head and smiled. "I think back then, when we met on the river, King Xiongtian followed me, but it was Mr. Zhang who just came here... But having said that, if Sisi really comes over and becomes a big leader, then it's okay to be listed on the right."
Zhang Xing sneered in his heart, and also smiled on his face, but suddenly looked at Taoist Wei who was watching Nianxu coldly: "Since the affiliation of Xiongtian King is unknown, and he is the number one expert in the gang, why not ask him to directly report to the three of us? Public scheduling cooperation?"
Li Shu was slightly taken aback, and Taoist Wei was also taken aback, but the latter immediately came to his senses and immediately put down his beard and palms: "That's right! Even if you ask Xiongtianwang himself, he will definitely choose this way! If you don't believe us, let's do it right now. to ask?"
Li Shu's eyes swept over the two people in front of him, he was silent for a moment, and slowly nodded: "It's not impossible to do things urgently... As for whether to ask or not, can't the three of us decide? They should also think about the overall situation." .”
Wei Daoshi finally laughed while leaning on the table.
"How about the other leaders saying the same?" Zhang Xing continued to ask. "The following people who have opinions are listed as leaders, each with a few big leaders, try to be as neat as possible on both sides, if they can't be neat, take a few from Duode who are used to doing things alone, and put them under Xiong Tianwang, directly under Here... Including, when the matter of Dongping County is really settled, Mr. Zu Chenyan should also respect him, give him a big leader, but he doesn't have to be assigned to him, and he is still under the direct control of the central government like King Xiongtian. it is good."
"I agree." Wei Daoshi blurted out without hesitation, of course he agrees...it's no wonder that he doesn't agree.
Li Shu pondered for a moment, but after thinking about it and doing some calculations, he realized that this time, it seemed that he had taken advantage of it, which was fair, so he nodded and agreed after a long silence.
"That's the case." Chief Wei, who got a huge advantage, was radiant and overjoyed. "Is this the end of the matter?"
Zhang Xing and Li Shu looked at Wei Xuanding together, and looked at each other again, and then, Zhang Xing slowly shook his head: "I've said the small things, it's time to talk about the big things."
"Indeed." Li Shu sighed. "Some things, we can be comprehensive, but some things are really powerless, but we have to bite the bullet."
Wei Xuanding looked at each other on the left and right, and immediately spread his hands: "What do you two mean?"
"Things couldn't be simpler." Zhang Xing held his teacup and looked at Wei Daoshi frankly. "Wei Gong, it's not that the two of us are alarmist, but that both of us have experienced the tempering of the center and have seen the imperial army. Therefore, even though the situation is so smooth, neither of us has changed. In my heart, I still feel that if the situation is too big, the rafters must be rotten first, and they will be beaten if they do something, and they will be beaten..."
Wei Xuanding hesitated to speak.
"I know, someone will definitely say that I was frightened by the imperial court before and lost my vigor." Li Shu shook his head in response. "But I really haven't wavered at all. I'm still the same as when I founded the gang, and even in the Zhuangzi of Lihu Xu Dalang before. I believe that this wave of rebels is inevitable, and then it is inevitable that they will be smashed by the court. But ..."
"But in this situation, even a smart person like Wei Gong has been swept up in the situation, and he has decided to start a riot." Zhang Xing sighed. "If the two of us stick to our own views, let's not say that it is useless, but we will be in danger of being rejected...Out of this door, we are all heroes from the old place of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, and we have suffered a long time."
"So, it's not that we don't understand your intentions. You are all from the old land of Dongqi. You should admit it." Li Shu still had a cold expression, but he cooperated with Zhang Xing's words coherently.
"Not only that." Zhang Xing also came to see Li Shu at this time. "Sometimes you have to admit that you can't just hide when the waves wash the sand. If you don't go through some things, how can you test the real hero and the real hero? Some people who were weak before, if they can get through it, they can also be happy." Like an iron stone, it becomes reliable, and it is the hero who seemed to be a good hero before, so what if it is really gone... From this point of view, some things are inevitable... These days I sometimes think , Those things in the history books are still the same over and over again, don’t smart people learn from them? As a result, when things come to an end, they wake up a little bit. When things and people are in a certain situation, there is actually only one way. The human heart and human nature are like this. It’s not that you can hide if you want to, or you can choose if you want to.”
"This statement is very true." Li Shu heard this statement, raised his head and sighed. "But there's always something to be prepared for."
"This is what I'm going to talk about today." Zhang Xing turned his head to look at Taoist Wei with an uncertain expression. "It is imperative to gather righteousness to do things. This is the truth, but we must also be prepared for failure... For example, if the main force of the government and army attacks, where will it come from? Where shall we fight? If we win, let alone, if we lose, Where are you going?"
"If you lose between Dahe and Jishui, you will naturally go to Hebei." Li Shu blurted out, as if he had already thought about it. "So we have to control Baimajin and gather water forces as much as possible; and if we lose in the south of Jishui, it will be a little troublesome...Although we can go south, we can't escape the imperial court's pursuit with a flat river in the south, so we still have to try our best in Jishui. Respond to the enemy north of the water."
"That's what I mean too." Zhang Xing answered seriously. "That's why we need to concentrate the use of the navy and unify the command... If Cheng Dalang's place is in order, we should try our best to bring back the ships."
"The command of the water army is especially important. Who should it be?" Li Shu asked suddenly.
"Of course it's Xu Dalang." Unexpectedly, Zhang Xing waited a few breaths before giving this extremely obvious answer.
"It can only be Xu Dalang." Li Shu answered quietly, but was unexpectedly not very happy.
In other words, the two of them said that they must take their hearts out, but in fact, some things are really hard to say... just like Xu Dalang's here.
Xu Shiying's ability and his family's experience in running Heshang, including the ownership of Heshang forces such as the Lu brothers, make him the best candidate for this navy, which is certainly not bad.But at the same time, Xu Dalang is probably the most conservative and the most thoughtful among the group of big leaders who really control the army.
To put it bluntly, despite the fact that the Dragon Gang has only been established for a few months, in fact, there are many internal conflicts in the so-called Temple Xiaoyao, Chiqian Wangba, and others!
The confrontation between Zhang Xing and Li Shu is the most obvious layer, but it may not be the biggest and the most important contradiction at this time. Contradictions between powerful and powerful families in the unknown hometown of the Eastern Qi Dynasty.
Where does the money come from?
Where does the food come from?
Where are the soldiers?
Where will it come from?
You Zhang Xing and Li Shu became out?
Can't we rely on these local tyrants and aristocratic families who have mastered actual power?It is nothing more than that these truly powerful people lack confidence and banner, and lack the ability to gather their peers, so they are temporarily held together.
These two people seem to be in a good mood, with a determined command and a lofty attitude, but in fact they are trembling and walking on thin ice. They can only rely on correct judgment and command time and time again to turn the imaginary into reality.And once you go against the will of the people or make a mistake, you might be kicked out.
Therefore, from the perspective of Zhang and Li, they are not only the biggest opponents in the gang, but also comrades who oppose Wei, and they are also the smallest faction in the gang that must back-to-back for warmth.
In fact, don't forget that in the current situation, Zhang and Li's embarrassment is that they don't have the authority to control the entire gang... How do you say that?
Don't struggle anymore, there are Dongqi people outside.
Looking back, Xu Dalang is the most dishonest and powerful man. When he established the gang last time, he wanted to manipulate the conflict between the two, but Zhang and Li jointly suppressed it. This Xu Dalang also means that he has given the other party the power to maintain the final strength and clean up the situation.If you think about it, you will know, there is no need for Xu Shiying to be tricky on purpose, as long as the main force is severely depleted in the front, and one or two Shan Dalang and Wang Wulang are killed, maybe Xu Shiying can take advantage of this wave of power to drive himself The matter is to integrate the strength and kick the two outsiders over by the way.
"Li Gong, do you think Xu Dalang is the only person in this village other than the two of us who is unwilling to make a big fuss?" After a strange silence, Zhang Xing looked at Taoist Wei with a weird expression, Suddenly turned around and laughed.
"It's really possible." Li Shu also smiled wryly. "But he didn't dare to say that he wouldn't raise an incident, but he was more active than anyone else... The last thing, after the incident, who of us will go forward to make arrangements, and who will make preparations later?"
"I've thought about this for a while, and there seems to be something to talk about." Zhang Xing asked seriously. "Do you want to guess the copper coin? Or turn the compass... I have a compass, which was given to me by Sisi, and it is said that it was consecrated by the Taibai Peak."
"No need." The leader of the Zuolong gang in front of him sighed. "How can this kind of thing rely on those things? It is said that there will be [-] soldiers trained in the Eastern Capital, but how can it be recruited properly before next year? The officers and troops will come from both sides of the north and south, and attack from the east... Therefore, the aggressive deployment must Go east, and those who will take care of you must stay in the west. You are familiar with Dongdu and Uncle Cao, and you have something to say to Du Pozhen. You stay in the west and take care of me, and I will go forward..."
"Okay." Zhang Xing responded decisively, without any delay.
Immediately, the two looked at Taoist Wei together.
The latter was silent for a moment, and seemed to have a double meaning: "Did the two of you underestimate the heroes in the gang?"
"No." Zhang Xing replied earnestly. "I tell myself all the time, don't underestimate the heroes of the world! It's just that people are in the game, and there is really only one way."
"Forget it!" Wei Xuanding thought for a moment. "Whether it's what you think is right, or we Dongqi people are right to test it out, anyway, the three of us have agreed on the result... When will we get together to make trouble?"
"Pass it on, it will be in three days! As long as those people who are doing business around you have time to come over, you can also take the opportunity to let the wind out, who is the big boss, the boss..."
Zhang Xing simply arranged. "The only thing is that if you want to raise an issue, you can't have a banner slogan... Li Gong, Wei Gong, do you want to change? If you don't care, you can set up a red and white banner with the word "depose". I red you white, and use the word "righteousness" in the middle The big banner belongs to Wei Gong, the big leader and the small leader are allowed to use different surnames to control the big banner, and the slogan is still to cut off the violent Wei and stabilize the world?"
"These are all meaningless things." Li Shu was silent for a while, and answered casually, but after a while, he picked up the untouched tea on the table, drank a couple of sips, and then took a long breath. "It's rare for You Longtou to be so determined at such a young age. Seeing that you are still so calm, I feel a little more at ease."
Zhang Xing smiled wryly and shook his head: "How can I be quiet in my heart? To be honest with Mr. Li, these days, seeing that the situation is so good these days, everyone told me that the [-] counties in the eastern region are within easy reach. In fact, I was a little shaken in my heart. I have been thinking all day, could we be really lucky, and we can really make it happen overnight, completely opening up the situation? If we miss it, will we fall behind and let others become bigger for nothing? "
"If you are so concerned about gains and losses, you are like a living person." Li Shu suddenly laughed, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
Daoist Wei, who had been ignored by the two for a long time today, finally spoke again at this time: "Since the two leaders have agreed, then this is the way to do it... Anyway, I agree with you two."
Yes, no matter what, Daoist Wei and these two have a certain common ground, which is determined by the system... Zhang and Li have no doubts about this.
It can only be said that the Little Dragon Gang is really ridiculous.
Gossip aside, Xiong Bonan's return greatly stimulated the members of the Dragon Clan, causing a moment of turmoil in Niujiazhuang. Although the two leaders, Zhang and Li, were inherently apprehensive about raising troubles, they could not go against the will of the crowd and finally decided to formally gather for a righteous act thing.
As for the previous rumors that the two leaders confronted each other because of the number of leaders, it also disappeared with the rumors.
On September [-]th, some officials in the nearby city who had links with the Dragon Gang also arrived at Niujiazhuang in a grand manner, but in Puyang City, which was close at hand, they just didn't hear about it.
This morning, the weather was fine, but it was windy in autumn, making people flicker.
And amidst the howling autumn wind, the manor was crowded with people. Even the children of Hebei aristocratic families who were clearly dissatisfied with the gang system before could not hold back their anxiety. They whispered in the central garden of the manor, repeating some rumors that had been verified before. with the wind.
It turns out that at this very moment, before the official reunion tomorrow, Wei Xuanding, chief of the Dethrone Dragon Gang, Li Shu, leader of the left, Zhang Xing, leader of the right, and Xiong Bonan, Shan Tonghai, Wang Shuyong, and Xu Shiying gathered here are holding a The personnel expansion meeting carried out in accordance with the previously established gang regulations.
Needless to say about the meeting process, the three of Zhang, Li and Wei have already reached an agreement through a small meeting, and Xiong Bo Nanxiu is surprisingly honest, as long as Zhang Xing does not make a big mistake, Wang Shuyong is destined to be considered appropriate... In this case Now, Xu Shiying will definitely cooperate more actively than anyone else. Even if Shan Dalang has an idea, it is impossible to shake other people.
Therefore, even though there was a verbal confrontation, before noon, Zhuang Nei still acted like an imperial court, and officially posted a small notice.
It roughly says that although the two leaders of the Huaiyou League were not present, the three-member decision-making group and the other four leaders were present, which met the decision-making criteria. The leader presumed and decided to introduce Cheng Zhili and Fang Yanlang as the big leaders to discuss matters inside.
Now the public announcement is here, and I ask all the leaders and the heroes and heroes in the gang, if there is any unrighteous thing about these two people that you want to report, if there is, you can enter immediately and discuss it fairly; To be identified.
At that time, the messenger and Chief Cheng, while Chief Fang can enter directly as the chief, and continue to discuss important matters within the gang.
The content of this small announcement is extremely simple, but it makes the leaders everywhere feel a little fresh. Even the children of the Hebei family have a certain change in their understanding of this gang... because it cares about rules and procedures, no matter how perfunctory, it is also rules and procedures.
This kind of thing seems useless, and even hinders normal decision-making under certain circumstances, but in most cases, it still has the effect of convincing people and strengthening the sense of identity.
Sure enough, at noon, Fang Yanlang, who had the most obvious disdain before, entered the room proudly amidst the greetings of the crowd.
More than half an hour later, in the afternoon, a larger list was officially posted, and the list was officially added as follows:
One big leader: Fang Yanlang;
Seven leaders: Zheng Ting, Chai Xiaohe, Yang Defang, Zhai Qian, Bing Yuanzheng, Du Caiqian, Huang Junhan;
A total of eight people belong to the left wing.
In addition to the previous left-wing leaders Shan Tonghai and Xu Shiying, the leaders Liang Jiading, Xiahou Ningyuan, Lu Mingyue, Lu Hongyue, and Guo Jingke, a total of 15 people belonged to the left wing.
One big leader: Cheng Zhili;
Seven leaders: Fang Yanshi, Cheng Mingqi, Jia Yue, Zhai Kuan, Fan Dingxing, Zheng Detao, Li Wenbo;
A total of eight people belong to the right wing.
In addition to the previous right-wing leaders Du Pozhen, Fu Boshi, and Wang Shuyong, and the leaders Ma Sheng, Niu Da, Wang Zhen, Zhang Shanxiang, Ding Shengying, Ma Pinger, and Zhou Xingfan, there were 18 people in total.
One big leader: Xiong Bonan;
There are two leaders: Liu Zhouchen and Zhang Jinshu.
There are three people in total, and another center wing is formed, directly under the command of the top three.
In the end, not counting the three of them themselves, there were 36 leaders in total.
That's right, this number must be a deliberate gathering of people. Not to mention anything else, there are actually two people who are destined to be leaders, and it is not easy to disclose it at this time. For example, Zu Chenyan from Dongping County and Vice President Jiyin Wei Shang Huaizhi... But isn't it normal that there are 36 or even more than 39 of the 40 Tiangangs?
And among these 36 people, there are not only surrounding officials and tyrants who have been wooed, but also famous gangsters from far away, as well as children of well-known aristocratic families, as well as newly recruited mafia rangers, and even surrendered generals.
Even, there are some surprises here, for example, there are a few people who formed their own faction when they came, Zhai Qian, the lawmaker of the East County, his younger brother Zhai Kuan, a mafia tycoon, and Huang Junhan, a local townsman and warden. However, as representatives of local powerhouses in the west of Dongjun County, it is impossible to really kick them out. Shan Dalang, Xu Dalang, and Wang Wulang are determined not to give them a big boss to fight against each other, so they have no choice but to resign themselves to it and deal with it separately. Huang Junhan went to the left wing, and his younger brother went to the right wing.
In short, the straw platform of the 36 leaders has finally come together.
However, probably because of the need to gather the number of people and strike a balance, this list seemed a little unconvincing compared to the previous big boss supplements... There were some discussions at the time.
In the evening, it was discovered that a leader of the rebellion from Juye Ze was trying to turn back and break up the group by night because he did not get the position of leader.
However, at this time, it is different from the people of the Cui family who waited and watched before, how could it be possible for him to disperse... Shan Dalang personally killed this personality, hanged his head to show the public, and cleaned up the door. When people wake up, this is to rebel and gather righteousness.
The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, the manor was busy, slaughtering pigs and sheep, preparing wine and banquets. Before noon, the horse blood was prepared, and then the three flags that had been embroidered overnight were dragged over and ready to be erected.
"It's a pity that Zu Chenyan is not here, otherwise there must be Xiongwen." On the small rammed earth platform, Chief Wei shook his head repeatedly, looking at each other in a low voice. "I always feel like something is missing..."
"It's not like that." Li Shu replied in a low voice. "Although Zu Chenyan's article is good, most of the people here don't understand it. Even if he is here, it is better not to write it, or not to read it after writing... And this kind of thing, as long as there is no trouble, the key lies in the later stage. Seize the city and start trouble."
"That's true." Wei Xuanding nodded in agreement.
While speaking, three large flags were slowly raised by several majestic soldiers, and they were firmly fixed. A typical large flag with the word "Yi" was in the middle, and the red and white two-color flags with the word "Dump" were on both sides, and they immediately rolled in the autumn wind.
This is the so-called flag-raising rebellion.
At most, drink a glass of blood wine, shout to cut off the violent Wei, and stabilize the world, which is the formal process.
However, just as the three of Wei, Li, and Zhang stepped forward together, stood on the soil platform under their respective flags, and then held up the blood wine, Zhang Xing, who was originally calm, suddenly took a step forward, which caused the other two people to be surprised... But I didn't think too much about it.
Young people like to show off.
"Leaders, I have something to say!" Zhang Xing held the blood wine and looked around at the leaders, which caught everyone by surprise. "To tell you the truth, Li Gong and I were actually not in favor of such a quick riot at the beginning, because we both felt that we acted too aggressively, and it would be unworthy to be targeted by the violent Wei in the future."
The audience whispered for a while, and Wei and Li were also a little speechless, but Li Shu couldn't deny it.
"However, I have discussed with Li Gong and Wei Gong for a long time, and we have discussed many times. In the end, we still have to agree to gather together again and officially raise the flag to raise the flag. What is the so-called?" Zhang Xing's body gradually emerged with a gray light Under the autumn sun, there was a strange light. "After thinking about it, I didn't realize it until a few days ago...Actually, it's just two sentences!"
"The first sentence, I said it to Xu Dalang a few years ago, and I will say it again today, and I will definitely say it again in the future...that is, princes and generals, who would rather have a kind?! Why are those people in Guanlong sitting in the world? And the heroes from the Guandong came to be lowly officials, even a lowly official can't do it? Are you guys who are here today incapable? Or are they born lower than the people of Guanlong?"
The audience became more and more uproarious, but it was completely different from the previous discussion, but there was a gesture of anger, even Xu Dalang opened his eyes wide at this time, staring at the people on the stage, not knowing what he was thinking.Even Li Shu beside him was still expressionless while holding the blood wine, but Wei Xuanding couldn't help shaking his arms.
"The second sentence is easier to say, that is, the world has been suffering for a long time! Why should five acres of land need to be taxed by ten acres of land? Why do we have to work so hard, but we have to send all of them to Kansai and other places? In the palace? Why do you have to work hard and suffer many deaths and injuries to build houses and towers for them, but you have to kneel down to thank the court even for a bite of fried sugar cake in the Chinese New Year?? ?Here today, none of you have any relatives or neighbors whose family was ruined because of the Three Requisitions? Do you know that the big golden pillar in the Eastern Capital has been melted again? Let me tell you, this time it will be melted into iron to make it Ordnance, come and kill us!"
"Then kill back!" Someone shouted from the audience. "Kill back!"
"That's right! That's why Mr. Li and I are determined to give it a go!" Zhang Xing's tone became stern.
"The country is rotten like this, why not rebel?
"The local people are struggling to survive, everyone is suffering, why don't you go to save them?
"If we depose the dragon gang because of temporary interests, seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, don't turn against today, come back tomorrow, don't fight hard battles, don't go to conquer cities, don't save people with food, don't go up against difficulties, the future of this world will be based on What made us sit?!
"Therefore, I have already figured it out. Today, you have to go against it, and you have to go against it if you don't! There is a thoroughfare ahead, and the mountains of swords and fires have to be gone. It is a dead end and a dead end! Come on! Isn’t it a life?”
"Or is there someone here who is afraid of dying?!"
"If you're not afraid of death, you can drink this wine with the three of us, and you'll be in Dongjun, Jiyin, and Dongping in one fell swoop, and you're against the mother!"
After finishing speaking, Zhang Xing took the bowl with both hands first, and drank the blood wine. Li Shu and Taoist Wei quickly stepped forward and drank directly.
The audience was already restless. Seeing this scene, they rushed to drink blood without hesitation.
After drinking a bowl of blood wine, Daoist Wei thought of the rehearsal before, so he rolled up his sleeves and shouted, "Cut off the violent Wei"... But unexpectedly, Li Shu next to him drew up his true energy early, crushed the bowl severely, and then performed it in public Hui Guang burst out with true energy, raised his arms and exclaimed three times:
"Rise up! Rise up! Rise up!"
Below Xiong Bonan, no one dared to be negligent, and immediately raised his arms and shouted three times: "Rise up! Rise up! Rise up!"
At the end of the shout, the sound has already shaken the village, startling countless birds into the air.
After three shouts, the three of them set up a table under the flag on the stage and began to make large-scale deployments:
Xu Dalang, Shan Dalang, Wang Wulang, and Zhai brothers each sent two hundred elites to gather in Niujiazhuang to wait for the general call here;
Then Xu Dalang, Zhai brothers, Huang Junhan, and Guo Jingke entered Baima City, the county town of Dongjun;
Writing about Wang Wulang and Ding Sheng reflected in Waihuang, writing about Zhang Shanxiang sending Jishui;
Shan Dalang entered Chengshi City, Xiahou Ning Yuanming attacked Leize City, and Liang Jiading encouraged Juyeze rebels to leave Hezekou;
Fang Yanlang and Fang Yanshi entered Jiyin County City to assist Jiyin Duwei Shang Huaizhi;
Lead Niu Da and Jia Yue into Puyang City and contact Niu Da's father;
Bing Yuanzheng, Du Caiqian, and Zheng Detao entered Kuangcheng, Lihu, and Yuanju respectively, and assisted Li Wenbai, Chai Xiaohe, and Yang Defang who worked in the three cities;
Zhuo Xiong Bonan sits here, and together with Liu Zhouchen and Zhang Jinshu, the two leaders, command the elite of the center and provide support at any time.
The matter had already been discussed in the previous meeting. At this point, it was just a process, and the heroes no longer hesitated. After each got their orders, they flocked out of Niujiazhuang, dispatched and recruited forces everywhere, and prepared to follow the plan , five days later, on the evening of September [-]rd.
Besides, right here in the upper reaches of Jishui River, when Zhang Xing half pushed and half pushed the wheel of history with the Dragon Gang as the fulcrum, Cheng Dalang, who was far in the lower reaches of Jishui River, sadly left the hinterland of Dengzhou... There is no way, it is too much here. After realizing that there was someone behind him, several big leaders also changed their previous posture, becoming perfunctory and repulsive, and even hostile... At this time, he remembered what Zhang Xing said before, and he did not hesitate to put The captured military supplies, money and food were transported back, and they decided to stick to their hometown.
His hometown, as I said before, is next to the Dahe River, at the junction of Bohai, Dengzhou, and Qizhou, and most of Bohai County is in Hebei, and there is only a half-county of Putai in Henan. Therefore, Mainly it has to be counted as the junction of Dengzhou and Qizhou.
And just a few days after returning home, a group of rebels crossed Cheng Dalang's territory, flaunting their might and heading for Qizhou.
This really made Cheng Dalang feel complicated.
You know, because of the existence of Dongyi, Dengzhou has always been a special state and county, with a large area, many cities, a large population, a developed economy, and many military facilities. It can also connect with Dongyi for trade. The main core military base of the imperial court is relatively far away, so it is particularly meaningful... The three mainstream rebels chose to join forces to fight here, not indiscriminately.
This is the core state and county in the eastern part of the Eastern Realm, just like Wei County in southern Hebei, Youzhou in northern Hebei, Jiangdu in Huainan, and Xuzhou in Huaibei, all of which have extremely strong political and military significance.
Therefore, there is no doubt that this wave of successful siege has an impact on the hearts of the people.
Back to Cheng Dalang, seeing the army crossing the border with his own eyes, he was naturally worried that the situation would get out of control, and the situation that Zhang Xing said in his letter would happen, but he also felt uneasy that he had worked so hard to only get one Potai and a half county, and was somewhat left behind. .
What if these rebels easily captured Qi County?
Or what if the upstream uprising succeeds?How can I gain a foothold in the gang when I am alone?
At the same time, he, who has always been cautious and cunning, is also a little uneasy about the Dengzhou rebels' sudden development... This is a serious attack on the city. Who knows how much meat the Great Wei still has?And who knows if there are any heroes in the Wei official army?
Will Jishui be sure to succeed?
What about Qizhou in front of you?The Jun Cheng here is said to be a Kansai veteran, so it may not be so easy, right?
Qizhou, or Qijun, Qizhou County, it doesn’t matter anymore, anyway, because of the reforms of the former emperor of Wei Dynasty and the pilgrim saint, the names have already become messy, but what is certain is that there is no sheriff in Qijun , there is only one low-ranking but actually powerful county magistrate... Of course, His Royal Highness Qi is the theoretical master of this county, but it is impossible for His Royal Highness to come, so it is the same as the county where many escorts are located. , there is only the real power of the county, and there is no county guard.
And this Juncheng, who has only been in office for half a year, is called Zhang Xuguo.
Undoubtedly, to be able to control the real power of a county these days, to achieve the level of success, no matter what, there must be talents in Guanlong, and Zhang Xing has to rely on Xian Xiangrui... However, the 50-year-old Zhang Xuguo No one is needed, or he is a Hongnong himself, and he has too many connections in Kansai.
Grandpa was born in the early years, father was born in a concubine until the county magistrate, and he was born in the army. In his early years, he followed Duke Ding Gao to fight in the north and south, and gradually emerged.
Then the saint ascended the throne, followed one of the saint's younger brothers to suppress another rebellious younger brother, and obtained the most critical step of military merit.
The only thing is that Gao Li was rebelled against, and if one of the saint's younger brothers died, the other might die too... Well... It is precisely because of this that this Miao Honggen, the head of the Guanlong army, did not die until he was 50 years old. When he got mixed up with a powerful county magistrate, he was still not a big county, nor was he a serious county magistrate.
It's not as good as one offering auspiciousness.
And on September [-]rd, the autumn was high and the air was clear, the clouds were clear and the wind was breezy. I don't know if there was a sympathy, but Zhang Juncheng suddenly summoned all the officials in the city and held a public meeting.
"Everyone, the situation is very bad, and I'm a Kansai veteran who speaks in a common way. I only want to say five things today. Listen to me."
After everyone arrived, Zhang Xuguo took the main seat and got straight to the point.
"First, don't worry about the release of the autumn grain, and don't wait for the imperial emissary to reply, just open the warehouse to release the grain, take out half of it, and return it to the local people to reassure the people, and use the other half as military rations;
"Second, I want to go beyond the rules and appoint two local tycoons, Fan Hu and Fan Bao, as the captain and deputy captain;
"Third, I will recruit 5000 people in the county against the law, make up [-] county soldiers, and defend against rebels on the spot;
"Fourth, I want to write a letter to Jiangdu and Dongdu, please send me a pill congealing expert, no matter which side is better, to prevent the bandit army from beheading the master;
"Fifth, the easternmost cities in Qi County are abandoned, and the bandit army is led to the narrow area between Tingshan, Huashan, Baishan, Jishan, Queshan and Jishui for a decisive battle.
"If the court blames the above five matters, I, Zhang Xuguo, will bear them all. If the army is defeated, I, Zhang Xuguo, will commit suicide outside Licheng. Xu Guo wants to kill people and stand up...
"The matter is over, who of you agrees and who opposes?"
As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes were only on the local thief Cao and tycoon Jia Wugen, but unexpectedly, a person in the hall turned out directly. Everyone looked, but it was the black ribbon of Jing'antai who was in charge of public security in this county. Yu Baimei, a young master of Ren Du's second branch... This is an outsider.
Since this person came out, he bowed his hands again in the hall and asked boldly:
"Dare to ask Juncheng, why must Fan Hu and Fan Bao brothers?"
"One is that the two of them have power, and if they don't take it, they will follow the thief... Cheng Dalang was like this before, and I heard that he had appeared in the city of Dengzhou before; the other is that their brothers have power in Jishui, and the army of thieves is very powerful. , you must control Jishui so that you can calmly win." Zhang Xuguo answered calmly with his usual expression.
"This subordinate understands." Yu Baimei nodded after listening to the explanation, bowed directly, and then continued to speak earnestly. "Juncheng, in fact, in the past few months, the world has been turbulent. Loyal ministers and filial sons have been patient for a long time, but carnivores are contemptible, and they cannot be thieves. Now that Juncheng is the first in the world, please use Yu as the tip of the blade, and Yu Since you take on this responsibility, although you can lose your body, you must not be frustrated!"
"Well said!" Zhang Xuguo jumped up and helped the other party up in the hall, then grabbed the other party's shoulders and spoke burning words. "Let these thieves, let's see if we loyal servants can still cut off people's heads?!"
"I would like to follow Zhang Gongji." Hearing this, the city's tycoon and Cao Jiawugen, a county thief, also directly bowed down. "Squeeze the thieves and fix the chaos!"
All the officials in the hall bowed down one after another to show their respect.
As the saying goes:
The ancient multi-strength grass in the Central Plains, the joints are like arrow bamboo, and the flowers are like rice.
The white dew sprinkles the leaves and leaves, and the October frost and wind will not blow them down.
PS: Good night everyone... The main reason is that I didn't hold on in the morning and fell asleep directly.
(End of this chapter)
At the end of August, Taoist Wei immediately went east to Dongping County to meet Zu Chenyan, and immediately made a successful connection.
In the first ten days of September, the leaders of the Chulong Gang who had received the summons also turned back one after another. Even at Putai, Fang Yanshi, who was most dissatisfied with the troops crossing the river and attacking Dengzhou, had already set off even if Cheng Dalang was not able to come. Xiongbo Nanxiong Tianwang promised that if the city of Dengzhou is destroyed in the near future, he will come here alone.
However, Xiao Zhou and Lu Er among the Lu brothers still temporarily stayed in Putai Water Village because of Zhang Xing's instructions.
That's right, because of military purposes, the tidal flat was fenced off after all, and became a military important area where idlers were not allowed to enter.
In the first ten days of September, let’s not mention the imminent move of the Dragon Gang for the time being. Let’s just say that on this day, the city of Dengzhou County, which had not seen reinforcements for a long time, finally declared the city broken, and the rebels poured into the city. Immediately, the surrounding Yidu, Beihai, Famous cities such as Linzi were also swept up.So far, as early as the period when the three clans were fighting for supremacy, the prosperous area in the lower reaches of Dahe, which was once the core ruling area of the Eastern Chu Kingdom, has completely turned the sky upside down.
In all fairness, Gao Shitong is the descendant of the Gao family in the Eastern Qi Dynasty, and Sun Xuanzhi is also a powerful man. Even Wang Hou, who can compose the song "The Song of Death in the Wuxiang Dongyi Wave", should have been a low-level official. They all have a little understanding Yes... So, even though the three chiefs tried to push back on each other during the siege, they all had the traditional skill of letting the miscellaneous names go first. All three of them also issued relevant orders to maintain military discipline, and they followed their promises to open the official warehouse and release food in proportion.
Killing officials, demoting officials, opening warehouses, recruiting troops, intrigue, intimidation, recruiting heroes, trying to create a big leader, these things, there are things that should be there, and there are things that shouldn't be.
However, this classic wave of Rebels didn't last long.
After all, after the city of Dengzhou County was broken, it was inevitable to send leaders to the surrounding towns to sweep them in. At this time, the good and bad of these leaders were revealed, and the lack of strict organization of the army was undoubtedly revealed:
Some leaders were born officials, powerful, educated and trained, so they could have a decent posture in their minds, and then followed the description, but forgot to provide food for the common people, and made gestures with the surrendered officials in the city all day long;
Some are born at the bottom, everything is good, and they are the most enthusiastic about giving food and wealth, but they can't walk in front of the officials' ladies;
Others are simply from cities or villages. They are the bravest in battle and the least afraid of death. They are also the group whose status has improved the fastest after the rebels swarmed up, but they can't help being reckless after controlling a city. Gold and silver Money, wine and women are all wanted, so that there are a lot of looting and killing.
Is there any official who still knows how to distribute food to the people?
Is there anyone born at the bottom who is clean at the same time?
Is there anyone who was born as a rogue, and then suddenly woke up and stopped in time?
There are.
But it is also destined that someone will plunge into it, not to mention, with the development of the situation, hundreds of thousands of rebels have captured the city, with Dengzhou as the core, the territory is expanding every day, and the number of leaders who occupy a single place and set up their own banners is also increasing every day , Mutual obedience is getting weaker and weaker, and their actions are naturally becoming more unscrupulous.
Of course, these things did not delay Xiong Bonan's return to the upper reaches of Jishui immediately after breaking the city. However, on September [-]th, they successfully turned back to Niujiazhuang outside Puyang City.
At this time, the situation in Niujiazhuang was completely different from when he left last month. At least there were many more people, families and powerful people, officials and bandits, Hebei and the East, literati and warriors, all gathered together.
Xiong Bonan is known as the King of Purple Face, and he is an old master of condensing alchemy. He has always been rampant in Hebei, the Central Plains, and the Eastern Territory. , In turn, it caused waves in the already restless Niujiazhuang. Many people came to invite and visit, as a gesture, which made him dizzy.
Of course, King Xiongtian was a little tricky. He first went to meet Zhang Xing, Li Shu and Taoist Wei, then turned around and went to meet the local landlord Niu Da, and his friend Xu Dalang, followed by Shan Dalang and Wang Wulang, and then It is those heroes who he has met many famous people, but are really newcomers.
And on the third day after Xiong Bonan arrived at Niujiazhuang, Taoist Wei couldn't bear it anymore, and at the same time, he had an audience with Zhang Xing and Li Shu. The first layer opened a small tea party.
"Two."
Daoist Wei no longer wears Taoist robes, but a clean and neat green brocade jacket, which complements Zhang Xing's dark brocade jacket and Li Shu's plain brocade jacket. After the two faucets poured the tea, they were quite crisp. "You can't procrastinate any longer, because there is no time to lose. No matter how big the disagreement is, it's time to take the overall situation into consideration and settle the matter one by one! Besides, King Xiongtian is back, so you don't have anything to say to continue the confrontation, right? "
Zhang Xing and Li Shu looked at each other, and they understood each other's meaning in an instant, which made them feel a little bit at ease.
To put it bluntly, there must be confrontation.
This time, the revolutionary cause was developing rapidly, and both sides and their respective leaders brought back a large number of people. There must be fierce disputes about the number of leaders. Personnel is politics, which concerns the fundamentals of the two.
At the same time, people on both sides still have some obvious geographical and class antagonisms, which further caused the division of forces between the two sides.
However, it was not because of this that the two of them did not hold a formal gathering process for a long time.
"Chairman Wei thinks that the reason why the two of us are unwilling to settle the matter is because we are confronting each other in private?" Li Shu spoke coldly, watching the teacup in front of him remain motionless.
"Isn't it?" Wei Xuanding sneered for a moment and asked back. "Those big families who came here with you, Second Master Li, are going to hold their faces to the sky, so they almost said directly that I should be above all of you rammers... what do you think? The faction is lowly, and the leadership system is out of order, so they almost said that the Dragon Gang was abolished and started anew... Is this a fake? Can you bear it, Mr. Zhang?"
The last sentence suddenly turned to another person's face.
"Of course I can't bear it." Zhang Xing picked up his teacup and answered with a straight face before Li Shu. "We are rebelling now, not a separatist system. How can there be so many arguments? Besides, the form of the gang was originally established to take care of the reckless people in the world. What do you replace with a tyrant or a shogunate? Those who come from noble families are Shu Tan Yes, but the partners who were born in the grass and lakes don’t know what to do at all? This kind of thing, only officials can be compatible with the people, and those who know more can take care of those who know less. It can only make those Hebei aristocratic children feel wronged and become gang leaders. "
"This is indeed the case." Li Shu paused, but he was straightforward. "It's not like I'm a brother who doesn't have a reckless background. How can I not know this truth? The children of everyone in Hebei are here to help charity. I will tell them about such trivial matters. Chief Wei doesn't have to worry too much... Or Say, people have worked so hard to come here, and they should be kicked out just because they said a few words?"
"It's not necessary to throw them out, but we should restrain ourselves." Daoist Wei smiled again. "It's them who come to us, not us to them... If you don't understand this, you will make trouble sooner or later... At worst, you should follow the example of those Cui people and sneak around and leave, right?"
These words are a bit heavy, and I don't know whether it is the exposure of nature or the recent pride that made this Taoist think differently.
Probably because of this, Li Shu glanced at the other party and did not respond directly, but looked at Zhang Xing again: "Master Zhang, what do you mean?"
"People will change. If you experience more, you will admit it sooner or later." Zhang Xing replied earnestly. "But with such a posture, you can't be a big leader."
"Fang Yanlang is not qualified to be a great leader?" Li Shu also became serious. "He has no qualifications, no reputation, or no manpower and material resources to dispatch?"
"Then just add him as one." Zhang Xing also smiled. "If there are too many big bosses, the price will drop instead, and the rest of the big bosses will be dissatisfied."
Li Shu also laughed when he heard the words: "Then he is alone... On your right side are the four big leaders Du Meng, the auxiliary deputy leader, Wang Wulang, and Cheng Dalang. On my left side are Fang Yanlang, Xu Shiying, Shan Tonghai has three people, one is missing, plus Xiong Tianwang, four pairs of four, together with the eight heavenly kings, they will live together."
"How absurd is Mr. Li?" Zhang Xing swallowed his tea helplessly, put down his cup to argue. "I really want the Huaiyou League to help me, but how can they move? It's me, you, and me...Xiong Tianwang should be on the right. Just let it go."
"These big bosses are not up to us, they want to talk about people's belonging." Li Shu immediately shook his head and smiled. "I think back then, when we met on the river, King Xiongtian followed me, but it was Mr. Zhang who just came here... But having said that, if Sisi really comes over and becomes a big leader, then it's okay to be listed on the right."
Zhang Xing sneered in his heart, and also smiled on his face, but suddenly looked at Taoist Wei who was watching Nianxu coldly: "Since the affiliation of Xiongtian King is unknown, and he is the number one expert in the gang, why not ask him to directly report to the three of us? Public scheduling cooperation?"
Li Shu was slightly taken aback, and Taoist Wei was also taken aback, but the latter immediately came to his senses and immediately put down his beard and palms: "That's right! Even if you ask Xiongtianwang himself, he will definitely choose this way! If you don't believe us, let's do it right now. to ask?"
Li Shu's eyes swept over the two people in front of him, he was silent for a moment, and slowly nodded: "It's not impossible to do things urgently... As for whether to ask or not, can't the three of us decide? They should also think about the overall situation." .”
Wei Daoshi finally laughed while leaning on the table.
"How about the other leaders saying the same?" Zhang Xing continued to ask. "The following people who have opinions are listed as leaders, each with a few big leaders, try to be as neat as possible on both sides, if they can't be neat, take a few from Duode who are used to doing things alone, and put them under Xiong Tianwang, directly under Here... Including, when the matter of Dongping County is really settled, Mr. Zu Chenyan should also respect him, give him a big leader, but he doesn't have to be assigned to him, and he is still under the direct control of the central government like King Xiongtian. it is good."
"I agree." Wei Daoshi blurted out without hesitation, of course he agrees...it's no wonder that he doesn't agree.
Li Shu pondered for a moment, but after thinking about it and doing some calculations, he realized that this time, it seemed that he had taken advantage of it, which was fair, so he nodded and agreed after a long silence.
"That's the case." Chief Wei, who got a huge advantage, was radiant and overjoyed. "Is this the end of the matter?"
Zhang Xing and Li Shu looked at Wei Xuanding together, and looked at each other again, and then, Zhang Xing slowly shook his head: "I've said the small things, it's time to talk about the big things."
"Indeed." Li Shu sighed. "Some things, we can be comprehensive, but some things are really powerless, but we have to bite the bullet."
Wei Xuanding looked at each other on the left and right, and immediately spread his hands: "What do you two mean?"
"Things couldn't be simpler." Zhang Xing held his teacup and looked at Wei Daoshi frankly. "Wei Gong, it's not that the two of us are alarmist, but that both of us have experienced the tempering of the center and have seen the imperial army. Therefore, even though the situation is so smooth, neither of us has changed. In my heart, I still feel that if the situation is too big, the rafters must be rotten first, and they will be beaten if they do something, and they will be beaten..."
Wei Xuanding hesitated to speak.
"I know, someone will definitely say that I was frightened by the imperial court before and lost my vigor." Li Shu shook his head in response. "But I really haven't wavered at all. I'm still the same as when I founded the gang, and even in the Zhuangzi of Lihu Xu Dalang before. I believe that this wave of rebels is inevitable, and then it is inevitable that they will be smashed by the court. But ..."
"But in this situation, even a smart person like Wei Gong has been swept up in the situation, and he has decided to start a riot." Zhang Xing sighed. "If the two of us stick to our own views, let's not say that it is useless, but we will be in danger of being rejected...Out of this door, we are all heroes from the old place of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, and we have suffered a long time."
"So, it's not that we don't understand your intentions. You are all from the old land of Dongqi. You should admit it." Li Shu still had a cold expression, but he cooperated with Zhang Xing's words coherently.
"Not only that." Zhang Xing also came to see Li Shu at this time. "Sometimes you have to admit that you can't just hide when the waves wash the sand. If you don't go through some things, how can you test the real hero and the real hero? Some people who were weak before, if they can get through it, they can also be happy." Like an iron stone, it becomes reliable, and it is the hero who seemed to be a good hero before, so what if it is really gone... From this point of view, some things are inevitable... These days I sometimes think , Those things in the history books are still the same over and over again, don’t smart people learn from them? As a result, when things come to an end, they wake up a little bit. When things and people are in a certain situation, there is actually only one way. The human heart and human nature are like this. It’s not that you can hide if you want to, or you can choose if you want to.”
"This statement is very true." Li Shu heard this statement, raised his head and sighed. "But there's always something to be prepared for."
"This is what I'm going to talk about today." Zhang Xing turned his head to look at Taoist Wei with an uncertain expression. "It is imperative to gather righteousness to do things. This is the truth, but we must also be prepared for failure... For example, if the main force of the government and army attacks, where will it come from? Where shall we fight? If we win, let alone, if we lose, Where are you going?"
"If you lose between Dahe and Jishui, you will naturally go to Hebei." Li Shu blurted out, as if he had already thought about it. "So we have to control Baimajin and gather water forces as much as possible; and if we lose in the south of Jishui, it will be a little troublesome...Although we can go south, we can't escape the imperial court's pursuit with a flat river in the south, so we still have to try our best in Jishui. Respond to the enemy north of the water."
"That's what I mean too." Zhang Xing answered seriously. "That's why we need to concentrate the use of the navy and unify the command... If Cheng Dalang's place is in order, we should try our best to bring back the ships."
"The command of the water army is especially important. Who should it be?" Li Shu asked suddenly.
"Of course it's Xu Dalang." Unexpectedly, Zhang Xing waited a few breaths before giving this extremely obvious answer.
"It can only be Xu Dalang." Li Shu answered quietly, but was unexpectedly not very happy.
In other words, the two of them said that they must take their hearts out, but in fact, some things are really hard to say... just like Xu Dalang's here.
Xu Shiying's ability and his family's experience in running Heshang, including the ownership of Heshang forces such as the Lu brothers, make him the best candidate for this navy, which is certainly not bad.But at the same time, Xu Dalang is probably the most conservative and the most thoughtful among the group of big leaders who really control the army.
To put it bluntly, despite the fact that the Dragon Gang has only been established for a few months, in fact, there are many internal conflicts in the so-called Temple Xiaoyao, Chiqian Wangba, and others!
The confrontation between Zhang Xing and Li Shu is the most obvious layer, but it may not be the biggest and the most important contradiction at this time. Contradictions between powerful and powerful families in the unknown hometown of the Eastern Qi Dynasty.
Where does the money come from?
Where does the food come from?
Where are the soldiers?
Where will it come from?
You Zhang Xing and Li Shu became out?
Can't we rely on these local tyrants and aristocratic families who have mastered actual power?It is nothing more than that these truly powerful people lack confidence and banner, and lack the ability to gather their peers, so they are temporarily held together.
These two people seem to be in a good mood, with a determined command and a lofty attitude, but in fact they are trembling and walking on thin ice. They can only rely on correct judgment and command time and time again to turn the imaginary into reality.And once you go against the will of the people or make a mistake, you might be kicked out.
Therefore, from the perspective of Zhang and Li, they are not only the biggest opponents in the gang, but also comrades who oppose Wei, and they are also the smallest faction in the gang that must back-to-back for warmth.
In fact, don't forget that in the current situation, Zhang and Li's embarrassment is that they don't have the authority to control the entire gang... How do you say that?
Don't struggle anymore, there are Dongqi people outside.
Looking back, Xu Dalang is the most dishonest and powerful man. When he established the gang last time, he wanted to manipulate the conflict between the two, but Zhang and Li jointly suppressed it. This Xu Dalang also means that he has given the other party the power to maintain the final strength and clean up the situation.If you think about it, you will know, there is no need for Xu Shiying to be tricky on purpose, as long as the main force is severely depleted in the front, and one or two Shan Dalang and Wang Wulang are killed, maybe Xu Shiying can take advantage of this wave of power to drive himself The matter is to integrate the strength and kick the two outsiders over by the way.
"Li Gong, do you think Xu Dalang is the only person in this village other than the two of us who is unwilling to make a big fuss?" After a strange silence, Zhang Xing looked at Taoist Wei with a weird expression, Suddenly turned around and laughed.
"It's really possible." Li Shu also smiled wryly. "But he didn't dare to say that he wouldn't raise an incident, but he was more active than anyone else... The last thing, after the incident, who of us will go forward to make arrangements, and who will make preparations later?"
"I've thought about this for a while, and there seems to be something to talk about." Zhang Xing asked seriously. "Do you want to guess the copper coin? Or turn the compass... I have a compass, which was given to me by Sisi, and it is said that it was consecrated by the Taibai Peak."
"No need." The leader of the Zuolong gang in front of him sighed. "How can this kind of thing rely on those things? It is said that there will be [-] soldiers trained in the Eastern Capital, but how can it be recruited properly before next year? The officers and troops will come from both sides of the north and south, and attack from the east... Therefore, the aggressive deployment must Go east, and those who will take care of you must stay in the west. You are familiar with Dongdu and Uncle Cao, and you have something to say to Du Pozhen. You stay in the west and take care of me, and I will go forward..."
"Okay." Zhang Xing responded decisively, without any delay.
Immediately, the two looked at Taoist Wei together.
The latter was silent for a moment, and seemed to have a double meaning: "Did the two of you underestimate the heroes in the gang?"
"No." Zhang Xing replied earnestly. "I tell myself all the time, don't underestimate the heroes of the world! It's just that people are in the game, and there is really only one way."
"Forget it!" Wei Xuanding thought for a moment. "Whether it's what you think is right, or we Dongqi people are right to test it out, anyway, the three of us have agreed on the result... When will we get together to make trouble?"
"Pass it on, it will be in three days! As long as those people who are doing business around you have time to come over, you can also take the opportunity to let the wind out, who is the big boss, the boss..."
Zhang Xing simply arranged. "The only thing is that if you want to raise an issue, you can't have a banner slogan... Li Gong, Wei Gong, do you want to change? If you don't care, you can set up a red and white banner with the word "depose". I red you white, and use the word "righteousness" in the middle The big banner belongs to Wei Gong, the big leader and the small leader are allowed to use different surnames to control the big banner, and the slogan is still to cut off the violent Wei and stabilize the world?"
"These are all meaningless things." Li Shu was silent for a while, and answered casually, but after a while, he picked up the untouched tea on the table, drank a couple of sips, and then took a long breath. "It's rare for You Longtou to be so determined at such a young age. Seeing that you are still so calm, I feel a little more at ease."
Zhang Xing smiled wryly and shook his head: "How can I be quiet in my heart? To be honest with Mr. Li, these days, seeing that the situation is so good these days, everyone told me that the [-] counties in the eastern region are within easy reach. In fact, I was a little shaken in my heart. I have been thinking all day, could we be really lucky, and we can really make it happen overnight, completely opening up the situation? If we miss it, will we fall behind and let others become bigger for nothing? "
"If you are so concerned about gains and losses, you are like a living person." Li Shu suddenly laughed, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
Daoist Wei, who had been ignored by the two for a long time today, finally spoke again at this time: "Since the two leaders have agreed, then this is the way to do it... Anyway, I agree with you two."
Yes, no matter what, Daoist Wei and these two have a certain common ground, which is determined by the system... Zhang and Li have no doubts about this.
It can only be said that the Little Dragon Gang is really ridiculous.
Gossip aside, Xiong Bonan's return greatly stimulated the members of the Dragon Clan, causing a moment of turmoil in Niujiazhuang. Although the two leaders, Zhang and Li, were inherently apprehensive about raising troubles, they could not go against the will of the crowd and finally decided to formally gather for a righteous act thing.
As for the previous rumors that the two leaders confronted each other because of the number of leaders, it also disappeared with the rumors.
On September [-]th, some officials in the nearby city who had links with the Dragon Gang also arrived at Niujiazhuang in a grand manner, but in Puyang City, which was close at hand, they just didn't hear about it.
This morning, the weather was fine, but it was windy in autumn, making people flicker.
And amidst the howling autumn wind, the manor was crowded with people. Even the children of Hebei aristocratic families who were clearly dissatisfied with the gang system before could not hold back their anxiety. They whispered in the central garden of the manor, repeating some rumors that had been verified before. with the wind.
It turns out that at this very moment, before the official reunion tomorrow, Wei Xuanding, chief of the Dethrone Dragon Gang, Li Shu, leader of the left, Zhang Xing, leader of the right, and Xiong Bonan, Shan Tonghai, Wang Shuyong, and Xu Shiying gathered here are holding a The personnel expansion meeting carried out in accordance with the previously established gang regulations.
Needless to say about the meeting process, the three of Zhang, Li and Wei have already reached an agreement through a small meeting, and Xiong Bo Nanxiu is surprisingly honest, as long as Zhang Xing does not make a big mistake, Wang Shuyong is destined to be considered appropriate... In this case Now, Xu Shiying will definitely cooperate more actively than anyone else. Even if Shan Dalang has an idea, it is impossible to shake other people.
Therefore, even though there was a verbal confrontation, before noon, Zhuang Nei still acted like an imperial court, and officially posted a small notice.
It roughly says that although the two leaders of the Huaiyou League were not present, the three-member decision-making group and the other four leaders were present, which met the decision-making criteria. The leader presumed and decided to introduce Cheng Zhili and Fang Yanlang as the big leaders to discuss matters inside.
Now the public announcement is here, and I ask all the leaders and the heroes and heroes in the gang, if there is any unrighteous thing about these two people that you want to report, if there is, you can enter immediately and discuss it fairly; To be identified.
At that time, the messenger and Chief Cheng, while Chief Fang can enter directly as the chief, and continue to discuss important matters within the gang.
The content of this small announcement is extremely simple, but it makes the leaders everywhere feel a little fresh. Even the children of the Hebei family have a certain change in their understanding of this gang... because it cares about rules and procedures, no matter how perfunctory, it is also rules and procedures.
This kind of thing seems useless, and even hinders normal decision-making under certain circumstances, but in most cases, it still has the effect of convincing people and strengthening the sense of identity.
Sure enough, at noon, Fang Yanlang, who had the most obvious disdain before, entered the room proudly amidst the greetings of the crowd.
More than half an hour later, in the afternoon, a larger list was officially posted, and the list was officially added as follows:
One big leader: Fang Yanlang;
Seven leaders: Zheng Ting, Chai Xiaohe, Yang Defang, Zhai Qian, Bing Yuanzheng, Du Caiqian, Huang Junhan;
A total of eight people belong to the left wing.
In addition to the previous left-wing leaders Shan Tonghai and Xu Shiying, the leaders Liang Jiading, Xiahou Ningyuan, Lu Mingyue, Lu Hongyue, and Guo Jingke, a total of 15 people belonged to the left wing.
One big leader: Cheng Zhili;
Seven leaders: Fang Yanshi, Cheng Mingqi, Jia Yue, Zhai Kuan, Fan Dingxing, Zheng Detao, Li Wenbo;
A total of eight people belong to the right wing.
In addition to the previous right-wing leaders Du Pozhen, Fu Boshi, and Wang Shuyong, and the leaders Ma Sheng, Niu Da, Wang Zhen, Zhang Shanxiang, Ding Shengying, Ma Pinger, and Zhou Xingfan, there were 18 people in total.
One big leader: Xiong Bonan;
There are two leaders: Liu Zhouchen and Zhang Jinshu.
There are three people in total, and another center wing is formed, directly under the command of the top three.
In the end, not counting the three of them themselves, there were 36 leaders in total.
That's right, this number must be a deliberate gathering of people. Not to mention anything else, there are actually two people who are destined to be leaders, and it is not easy to disclose it at this time. For example, Zu Chenyan from Dongping County and Vice President Jiyin Wei Shang Huaizhi... But isn't it normal that there are 36 or even more than 39 of the 40 Tiangangs?
And among these 36 people, there are not only surrounding officials and tyrants who have been wooed, but also famous gangsters from far away, as well as children of well-known aristocratic families, as well as newly recruited mafia rangers, and even surrendered generals.
Even, there are some surprises here, for example, there are a few people who formed their own faction when they came, Zhai Qian, the lawmaker of the East County, his younger brother Zhai Kuan, a mafia tycoon, and Huang Junhan, a local townsman and warden. However, as representatives of local powerhouses in the west of Dongjun County, it is impossible to really kick them out. Shan Dalang, Xu Dalang, and Wang Wulang are determined not to give them a big boss to fight against each other, so they have no choice but to resign themselves to it and deal with it separately. Huang Junhan went to the left wing, and his younger brother went to the right wing.
In short, the straw platform of the 36 leaders has finally come together.
However, probably because of the need to gather the number of people and strike a balance, this list seemed a little unconvincing compared to the previous big boss supplements... There were some discussions at the time.
In the evening, it was discovered that a leader of the rebellion from Juye Ze was trying to turn back and break up the group by night because he did not get the position of leader.
However, at this time, it is different from the people of the Cui family who waited and watched before, how could it be possible for him to disperse... Shan Dalang personally killed this personality, hanged his head to show the public, and cleaned up the door. When people wake up, this is to rebel and gather righteousness.
The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, the manor was busy, slaughtering pigs and sheep, preparing wine and banquets. Before noon, the horse blood was prepared, and then the three flags that had been embroidered overnight were dragged over and ready to be erected.
"It's a pity that Zu Chenyan is not here, otherwise there must be Xiongwen." On the small rammed earth platform, Chief Wei shook his head repeatedly, looking at each other in a low voice. "I always feel like something is missing..."
"It's not like that." Li Shu replied in a low voice. "Although Zu Chenyan's article is good, most of the people here don't understand it. Even if he is here, it is better not to write it, or not to read it after writing... And this kind of thing, as long as there is no trouble, the key lies in the later stage. Seize the city and start trouble."
"That's true." Wei Xuanding nodded in agreement.
While speaking, three large flags were slowly raised by several majestic soldiers, and they were firmly fixed. A typical large flag with the word "Yi" was in the middle, and the red and white two-color flags with the word "Dump" were on both sides, and they immediately rolled in the autumn wind.
This is the so-called flag-raising rebellion.
At most, drink a glass of blood wine, shout to cut off the violent Wei, and stabilize the world, which is the formal process.
However, just as the three of Wei, Li, and Zhang stepped forward together, stood on the soil platform under their respective flags, and then held up the blood wine, Zhang Xing, who was originally calm, suddenly took a step forward, which caused the other two people to be surprised... But I didn't think too much about it.
Young people like to show off.
"Leaders, I have something to say!" Zhang Xing held the blood wine and looked around at the leaders, which caught everyone by surprise. "To tell you the truth, Li Gong and I were actually not in favor of such a quick riot at the beginning, because we both felt that we acted too aggressively, and it would be unworthy to be targeted by the violent Wei in the future."
The audience whispered for a while, and Wei and Li were also a little speechless, but Li Shu couldn't deny it.
"However, I have discussed with Li Gong and Wei Gong for a long time, and we have discussed many times. In the end, we still have to agree to gather together again and officially raise the flag to raise the flag. What is the so-called?" Zhang Xing's body gradually emerged with a gray light Under the autumn sun, there was a strange light. "After thinking about it, I didn't realize it until a few days ago...Actually, it's just two sentences!"
"The first sentence, I said it to Xu Dalang a few years ago, and I will say it again today, and I will definitely say it again in the future...that is, princes and generals, who would rather have a kind?! Why are those people in Guanlong sitting in the world? And the heroes from the Guandong came to be lowly officials, even a lowly official can't do it? Are you guys who are here today incapable? Or are they born lower than the people of Guanlong?"
The audience became more and more uproarious, but it was completely different from the previous discussion, but there was a gesture of anger, even Xu Dalang opened his eyes wide at this time, staring at the people on the stage, not knowing what he was thinking.Even Li Shu beside him was still expressionless while holding the blood wine, but Wei Xuanding couldn't help shaking his arms.
"The second sentence is easier to say, that is, the world has been suffering for a long time! Why should five acres of land need to be taxed by ten acres of land? Why do we have to work so hard, but we have to send all of them to Kansai and other places? In the palace? Why do you have to work hard and suffer many deaths and injuries to build houses and towers for them, but you have to kneel down to thank the court even for a bite of fried sugar cake in the Chinese New Year?? ?Here today, none of you have any relatives or neighbors whose family was ruined because of the Three Requisitions? Do you know that the big golden pillar in the Eastern Capital has been melted again? Let me tell you, this time it will be melted into iron to make it Ordnance, come and kill us!"
"Then kill back!" Someone shouted from the audience. "Kill back!"
"That's right! That's why Mr. Li and I are determined to give it a go!" Zhang Xing's tone became stern.
"The country is rotten like this, why not rebel?
"The local people are struggling to survive, everyone is suffering, why don't you go to save them?
"If we depose the dragon gang because of temporary interests, seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, don't turn against today, come back tomorrow, don't fight hard battles, don't go to conquer cities, don't save people with food, don't go up against difficulties, the future of this world will be based on What made us sit?!
"Therefore, I have already figured it out. Today, you have to go against it, and you have to go against it if you don't! There is a thoroughfare ahead, and the mountains of swords and fires have to be gone. It is a dead end and a dead end! Come on! Isn’t it a life?”
"Or is there someone here who is afraid of dying?!"
"If you're not afraid of death, you can drink this wine with the three of us, and you'll be in Dongjun, Jiyin, and Dongping in one fell swoop, and you're against the mother!"
After finishing speaking, Zhang Xing took the bowl with both hands first, and drank the blood wine. Li Shu and Taoist Wei quickly stepped forward and drank directly.
The audience was already restless. Seeing this scene, they rushed to drink blood without hesitation.
After drinking a bowl of blood wine, Daoist Wei thought of the rehearsal before, so he rolled up his sleeves and shouted, "Cut off the violent Wei"... But unexpectedly, Li Shu next to him drew up his true energy early, crushed the bowl severely, and then performed it in public Hui Guang burst out with true energy, raised his arms and exclaimed three times:
"Rise up! Rise up! Rise up!"
Below Xiong Bonan, no one dared to be negligent, and immediately raised his arms and shouted three times: "Rise up! Rise up! Rise up!"
At the end of the shout, the sound has already shaken the village, startling countless birds into the air.
After three shouts, the three of them set up a table under the flag on the stage and began to make large-scale deployments:
Xu Dalang, Shan Dalang, Wang Wulang, and Zhai brothers each sent two hundred elites to gather in Niujiazhuang to wait for the general call here;
Then Xu Dalang, Zhai brothers, Huang Junhan, and Guo Jingke entered Baima City, the county town of Dongjun;
Writing about Wang Wulang and Ding Sheng reflected in Waihuang, writing about Zhang Shanxiang sending Jishui;
Shan Dalang entered Chengshi City, Xiahou Ning Yuanming attacked Leize City, and Liang Jiading encouraged Juyeze rebels to leave Hezekou;
Fang Yanlang and Fang Yanshi entered Jiyin County City to assist Jiyin Duwei Shang Huaizhi;
Lead Niu Da and Jia Yue into Puyang City and contact Niu Da's father;
Bing Yuanzheng, Du Caiqian, and Zheng Detao entered Kuangcheng, Lihu, and Yuanju respectively, and assisted Li Wenbai, Chai Xiaohe, and Yang Defang who worked in the three cities;
Zhuo Xiong Bonan sits here, and together with Liu Zhouchen and Zhang Jinshu, the two leaders, command the elite of the center and provide support at any time.
The matter had already been discussed in the previous meeting. At this point, it was just a process, and the heroes no longer hesitated. After each got their orders, they flocked out of Niujiazhuang, dispatched and recruited forces everywhere, and prepared to follow the plan , five days later, on the evening of September [-]rd.
Besides, right here in the upper reaches of Jishui River, when Zhang Xing half pushed and half pushed the wheel of history with the Dragon Gang as the fulcrum, Cheng Dalang, who was far in the lower reaches of Jishui River, sadly left the hinterland of Dengzhou... There is no way, it is too much here. After realizing that there was someone behind him, several big leaders also changed their previous posture, becoming perfunctory and repulsive, and even hostile... At this time, he remembered what Zhang Xing said before, and he did not hesitate to put The captured military supplies, money and food were transported back, and they decided to stick to their hometown.
His hometown, as I said before, is next to the Dahe River, at the junction of Bohai, Dengzhou, and Qizhou, and most of Bohai County is in Hebei, and there is only a half-county of Putai in Henan. Therefore, Mainly it has to be counted as the junction of Dengzhou and Qizhou.
And just a few days after returning home, a group of rebels crossed Cheng Dalang's territory, flaunting their might and heading for Qizhou.
This really made Cheng Dalang feel complicated.
You know, because of the existence of Dongyi, Dengzhou has always been a special state and county, with a large area, many cities, a large population, a developed economy, and many military facilities. It can also connect with Dongyi for trade. The main core military base of the imperial court is relatively far away, so it is particularly meaningful... The three mainstream rebels chose to join forces to fight here, not indiscriminately.
This is the core state and county in the eastern part of the Eastern Realm, just like Wei County in southern Hebei, Youzhou in northern Hebei, Jiangdu in Huainan, and Xuzhou in Huaibei, all of which have extremely strong political and military significance.
Therefore, there is no doubt that this wave of successful siege has an impact on the hearts of the people.
Back to Cheng Dalang, seeing the army crossing the border with his own eyes, he was naturally worried that the situation would get out of control, and the situation that Zhang Xing said in his letter would happen, but he also felt uneasy that he had worked so hard to only get one Potai and a half county, and was somewhat left behind. .
What if these rebels easily captured Qi County?
Or what if the upstream uprising succeeds?How can I gain a foothold in the gang when I am alone?
At the same time, he, who has always been cautious and cunning, is also a little uneasy about the Dengzhou rebels' sudden development... This is a serious attack on the city. Who knows how much meat the Great Wei still has?And who knows if there are any heroes in the Wei official army?
Will Jishui be sure to succeed?
What about Qizhou in front of you?The Jun Cheng here is said to be a Kansai veteran, so it may not be so easy, right?
Qizhou, or Qijun, Qizhou County, it doesn’t matter anymore, anyway, because of the reforms of the former emperor of Wei Dynasty and the pilgrim saint, the names have already become messy, but what is certain is that there is no sheriff in Qijun , there is only one low-ranking but actually powerful county magistrate... Of course, His Royal Highness Qi is the theoretical master of this county, but it is impossible for His Royal Highness to come, so it is the same as the county where many escorts are located. , there is only the real power of the county, and there is no county guard.
And this Juncheng, who has only been in office for half a year, is called Zhang Xuguo.
Undoubtedly, to be able to control the real power of a county these days, to achieve the level of success, no matter what, there must be talents in Guanlong, and Zhang Xing has to rely on Xian Xiangrui... However, the 50-year-old Zhang Xuguo No one is needed, or he is a Hongnong himself, and he has too many connections in Kansai.
Grandpa was born in the early years, father was born in a concubine until the county magistrate, and he was born in the army. In his early years, he followed Duke Ding Gao to fight in the north and south, and gradually emerged.
Then the saint ascended the throne, followed one of the saint's younger brothers to suppress another rebellious younger brother, and obtained the most critical step of military merit.
The only thing is that Gao Li was rebelled against, and if one of the saint's younger brothers died, the other might die too... Well... It is precisely because of this that this Miao Honggen, the head of the Guanlong army, did not die until he was 50 years old. When he got mixed up with a powerful county magistrate, he was still not a big county, nor was he a serious county magistrate.
It's not as good as one offering auspiciousness.
And on September [-]rd, the autumn was high and the air was clear, the clouds were clear and the wind was breezy. I don't know if there was a sympathy, but Zhang Juncheng suddenly summoned all the officials in the city and held a public meeting.
"Everyone, the situation is very bad, and I'm a Kansai veteran who speaks in a common way. I only want to say five things today. Listen to me."
After everyone arrived, Zhang Xuguo took the main seat and got straight to the point.
"First, don't worry about the release of the autumn grain, and don't wait for the imperial emissary to reply, just open the warehouse to release the grain, take out half of it, and return it to the local people to reassure the people, and use the other half as military rations;
"Second, I want to go beyond the rules and appoint two local tycoons, Fan Hu and Fan Bao, as the captain and deputy captain;
"Third, I will recruit 5000 people in the county against the law, make up [-] county soldiers, and defend against rebels on the spot;
"Fourth, I want to write a letter to Jiangdu and Dongdu, please send me a pill congealing expert, no matter which side is better, to prevent the bandit army from beheading the master;
"Fifth, the easternmost cities in Qi County are abandoned, and the bandit army is led to the narrow area between Tingshan, Huashan, Baishan, Jishan, Queshan and Jishui for a decisive battle.
"If the court blames the above five matters, I, Zhang Xuguo, will bear them all. If the army is defeated, I, Zhang Xuguo, will commit suicide outside Licheng. Xu Guo wants to kill people and stand up...
"The matter is over, who of you agrees and who opposes?"
As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes were only on the local thief Cao and tycoon Jia Wugen, but unexpectedly, a person in the hall turned out directly. Everyone looked, but it was the black ribbon of Jing'antai who was in charge of public security in this county. Yu Baimei, a young master of Ren Du's second branch... This is an outsider.
Since this person came out, he bowed his hands again in the hall and asked boldly:
"Dare to ask Juncheng, why must Fan Hu and Fan Bao brothers?"
"One is that the two of them have power, and if they don't take it, they will follow the thief... Cheng Dalang was like this before, and I heard that he had appeared in the city of Dengzhou before; the other is that their brothers have power in Jishui, and the army of thieves is very powerful. , you must control Jishui so that you can calmly win." Zhang Xuguo answered calmly with his usual expression.
"This subordinate understands." Yu Baimei nodded after listening to the explanation, bowed directly, and then continued to speak earnestly. "Juncheng, in fact, in the past few months, the world has been turbulent. Loyal ministers and filial sons have been patient for a long time, but carnivores are contemptible, and they cannot be thieves. Now that Juncheng is the first in the world, please use Yu as the tip of the blade, and Yu Since you take on this responsibility, although you can lose your body, you must not be frustrated!"
"Well said!" Zhang Xuguo jumped up and helped the other party up in the hall, then grabbed the other party's shoulders and spoke burning words. "Let these thieves, let's see if we loyal servants can still cut off people's heads?!"
"I would like to follow Zhang Gongji." Hearing this, the city's tycoon and Cao Jiawugen, a county thief, also directly bowed down. "Squeeze the thieves and fix the chaos!"
All the officials in the hall bowed down one after another to show their respect.
As the saying goes:
The ancient multi-strength grass in the Central Plains, the joints are like arrow bamboo, and the flowers are like rice.
The white dew sprinkles the leaves and leaves, and the October frost and wind will not blow them down.
PS: Good night everyone... The main reason is that I didn't hold on in the morning and fell asleep directly.
