Spring and Autumn Confucian Heroes

Chapter 453
"Seven Star Sect, Qiankun Sect, Longteng Mountain, and Hengshan Sect, the most powerful sects in the Song Dynasty, have sent many outstanding disciples to oppose the government."

"The rest of the third-rate sects are even more masters, helping the powerful nobles who oppose the reform in the territory, and assassinating those who support the new law one after another."

"Nowadays, people in the country are in panic. Facing these quacks who come and go without a trace, even if the country has tens of thousands of troops, it will not help."

"It is precisely because of the secret support of these sects that some nobles who dominate places dare to raise troops to rebel, and even occupy the county town to declare joining those sects!"

Anyang Jun's face was very serious, but there was anger in his eyes.

As Song Gong's younger brother, Anyang Jun has unparalleled prestige and power in the Song Kingdom, and these people's rebellion has completely angered Anyang Jun.

It took half a day for Huan Chang to sort out what happened in the Song Dynasty during this period, and he suddenly felt like a bull.

He also didn't expect that so many things happened not long after he left the capital.

The Seven Star Sect and the Qiankun Sect are both first-class sects in the Song Kingdom, and their strength is second only to the top sect Songshan Sect.

As for Longteng Mountain and Hengshan School, they are second-rate sects in the Song Kingdom, and their background cannot be underestimated. These four sects almost represent the attitude of all the sects in the Song Kingdom.

These sects united to support the local nobles, even if the Song Dynasty tried its best to deal with it, it might not be able to do so.

"Fortunately, these sects still adhere to the Kyushu Treaty and did not send warriors from the Mortal Realm to join the battle, otherwise the domestic situation would not be like this."

"Boom boom boom!"

Huan Chang unconsciously tapped his fingers on the table, thinking about the current situation in Song State.

"How about North Korea?"

After a while, Huan Chang finally spoke.

"Although your majesty is determined to reform the law and wants to send troops to wipe out the rebellion, many ministers in the court strongly oppose it, thinking that this will make the country full of war."

"The princes and nobles in the court strongly demanded that the emperor remove the position of the general, and then ordered the abolition of the new law promulgated by the book to appease the hearts of the people."

Facing Huan Chang, Mr. Anyang did not hide anything.

And with Huan Chang's current power in the Song Kingdom, even if Lord Anyang wanted to hide it, he might not be able to hide it.

"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

Huan Chang's face didn't change at all, in fact, he already knew these things from Ying Ying before meeting An Yang Jun.

"Your Majesty naturally disagreed, and put several fierce-speaking princes and nobles in prison, but many ministers in the court still did not stop."

Speaking of this, Mr. Anyang's tone revealed a deep sense of helplessness.

"General, what do you think of this matter?"

This time, Huan Chang set his sights on Song Renjun's commander in white. When such a big event happened, the commander in white would naturally be involved.

"Where the general's flag is, is where Song Renjun's blade is heading."

When Huan Chang heard this, a smile finally appeared on his face.

"General Wu, how is the morale of the new army? Has it been affected by this turmoil?"

Wu Jing hurriedly got up and replied: "Report to the general, the morale of the new army is high, some young men not only did not make the soldiers back down, but everyone is gearing up, wanting to kill the enemy for meritorious service!"

The new army was jointly trained by Wu Jing and Colonel Qiuxu. Although it has not been formed for a long time, it already has a strong combat effectiveness.

After Gein's new law came out, soldiers could be granted titles for meritorious service, and many common people and lowly warriors heard the news and came to join the army one after another.

This also makes the quality of the new army soldiers very high.

Not only that, Huan Chang also selected many grassroots officers from poor backgrounds and clean net worth from the former elite soldiers of the Song Dynasty, and placed them in the new army.

With the help of these grassroots generals, coupled with the extraordinary personal abilities of the new soldiers, although they have only been trained for a short time, they have already achieved initial results.

"it is good!"

The smile on Huan Chang's face became brighter and brighter.

Taking a deep breath, Huan Chang stood up abruptly, and shouted to the generals in the tent: "You guys start to organize the troops and horses, prepare food and grass, and I will go to the palace to meet the king."

"As long as Your Majesty agrees, I will personally lead the army to quell the rebellion!"

"As ordered!"

All the generals took orders suddenly, and then withdrew from the camp one after another, leaving only Huan Chang, Mr. Anyang and the commander in white.

"A Chang, is it a bit hasty to make a decision like this?"

Mr. Anyang hesitated for a while, but finally asked.

"Uncle, do you want to let the new law go ahead, or give up halfway and compromise with these rebels?"

Huan Chang didn't answer directly, but instead questioned Mr. Anyang.

Mr. Anyang shook his head and said: "I naturally hope that the new law can be implemented, and since these people have openly rebelled, it is naturally impossible to compromise with them. Only by destroying them all can the dignity of our Song Dynasty be maintained!"

Thinking of those nobles who blatantly rebelled and defected to the sect, Lord Anyang gritted his teeth.

"The emperor has the heart to reform the law and put down the rebellion, and the soldiers are gearing up to make contributions. If this is the case, why do you need to say more?"

"The matter has come to this point, there is no way out, only war!"

Huan Chang's words were sonorous and powerful, although Mr. Anyang still hesitated, he still didn't say anything more.

Afterwards, Huan Chang went to meet Song Gong with Lord Anyang and Commander in White. They discussed for a long time before Huan Chang and others retreated.

On the second day of the court meeting, many ministers in the court still wrote letters one after another, requesting Song Gong to dismiss Huan Chang from the position of general, and then abolish the new law.

There are also some courtiers who support the new law, but compared to those who oppose it, these supporters seem to be a bit lonely.

There is another force in the court, that is, the other six branches of the Song Dynasty's clan. These people are very powerful, but they choose to be neutral at this time.

However, just as the courtiers were speaking generously, many heavily armed guards in golden armor suddenly poured into the hall. They didn't care about the stunned faces of the courtiers, and arrested all those who opposed the new law.

Song Gong's actions caused an uproar in the court, and even those neutral people were shocked.

……

The camp of the new army, the camp of the commander.

"Your Majesty has issued an expedition decree, we must eradicate those rebels this time!"

"Shadow, tell me about the current situation of these cities."

Huan Chang pointed to the cities on the map with a cold light in his eyes.

"Taiyang City has now been occupied by the rebellious nobles, and they are clearly attached to the Seven Star Sect."

"In addition, Liyang City defected to Qiankunmen, Shanbai City defected to Longteng Mountain, and Weishan City defected to Hengshan School."

"As for the other cities in turmoil, either the officers and soldiers are entangled with the rebel army, or they have already been occupied by the rebel army. However, the leaders of the rebel army only demanded the abolition of the new law, and did not dedicate the city to the major sects."
