The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 341 Bingfa three ways, conquer Jiangnan

Tokyo, the Imperial City Zichen Palace, where the Taoist emperor sits in court.

There was no trace of blood on his face, like a dead leaf in late autumn, haggard and ashen.

After the meeting yesterday, the Emperor Daojun summoned a group of important court officials to discuss the matter, and the result was that the cover of the Paiyun Pavilion was almost lifted. It was probably because of the timing and how many troops to send out, and the question of who is in charge and who is in charge There are endless debates.

He saw everyone fighting for power, attacking each other, and drove them all away in a fit of anger.

The Emperor Daojun knew that the sooner the bandits were suppressed, the better. Wang Qing's experience was vivid. If he hadn't procrastinated and sent the Western Army to rehabilitate him earlier, the entire Huaixi would not have almost fallen into the hands of the bandits.

The Gyeonggi Forbidden Army went out three times. Although the flames of war were quelled in the end, they suffered huge losses. Fangla's attack was menacing, far more violent than Wang Qing's. The number of soldiers and horses was even more unmatched by Wang Qing, so it was even more important to eliminate them as quickly as possible. This gang of thieves should not shake the foundation of the country and cause a catastrophe.

At this time, the congratulations of the ministers were over, and the Daojun Emperor coughed lightly: "Fang La, the traitor in the south of the Yangtze River, has been trapped in more than a dozen cities. Contribute and unite to share worries."

As soon as the words fell, Li Guangjie, the imperial envoy, walked out of the left class, and went forward to salute: "I just returned from Jiangnan yesterday, and I was about to report to the bandits. There are no less than 10,000+ rebels from Fangla in Zhejiang and Zhejiang, and they are the leader of the bandits in the southeast. , and the rest are Zhu Yan and Wu Bang from Lingshan in Quzhou, Lu Xing'er from Guian in Huzhou, Dakou Shisheng from Suzhou, Fu Qiudao from Yiwu in Wuzhou, Qiu Daoren from Tan County in Yuezhou, Hongzai from Chuzhou, Lu Shinang from Taizhou Xianju, and Chen Shi from Wenzhou. [-]. Yu Daweng, Jinyun Huo Chengfu, although these people are all headed by Fang La, they are kings of their own, and they have their own situation. They attack states and counties, and they are not under the control. However, although many places have been captured, few can be defended. Shoufang La is ambitious, he calls himself Emperor Shenggong, changes Yuan Yongle, sets up three courtyards and six divisions, nine ministers and four prime ministers, and hundreds of generals, with a huge momentum, the officials should send troops as soon as possible."

Zhao Tun heard clearly from the sidelines, and knew that these were the sub-altar masters of the Ming Cult from all over the south of the Yangtze River, and the princes of one side were all the heads of the great sect.

After the Emperor Daojun heard it, his face was shocked, only to realize that besides Fang La, there were so many small groups of bandits, he couldn't help but become more worried: "My dear friends, bandits are so rampant, what can I do?"

At this time, Cai Jing came out of the class tremblingly and said: "Don't worry about the officials, there has been no war in the southeast for a long time, Wen Tian and Wu Xi, once they encounter the enemy, they panic and flee without fighting, so they lose the city and land. If the elite soldiers march south, they will be able to wipe them out in one fell swoop, and let us show off our heavenly power."

The Emperor Daojun took a look at him, took it for nothing, sighed and said, "All the troops from the Western Army are on their way here, and the Imperial Guards in Gyeonggi have finished their inspections, and there is an urgent matter in the southeast, which cannot be delayed."

Tong Guan went out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, according to my humble opinion, the anti-thief Fang La is like a confidant's cancer. If you don't get rid of it immediately, the danger will be deeper. Therefore, it is better to send troops there immediately."

The Emperor Daojun was hesitant when he heard the words. After all, the Western Army is still on the road at this moment. If he wants to send it, he can only send the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army. Let the Western Army take the lead.

At this moment, there was an urgent report from the military outside the hall, it was from Zhongshu's door, Wang Fu did not dare to hide it since he was reprimanded last time, even if he went to the court, he would ask someone to send it urgently as soon as he received it.

At this time, he personally ran to the gate of the palace, took the booklet and came back to the palace, the emperor Daojun hurriedly asked: "Aiqing, where is the urgent report?"

Wang Fu had seen the address of the memorial earlier, his heart was trembling, and he replied: "Your Majesty, the Jiangnan Yingfeng Bureau promoted Zhu Xi."

The two of them originally planned to keep the matter of Fang La a secret, but now that Zhu Mane had officially submitted the memorial, it meant that the matter of West Zhejiang had become corrupted, and they dared not hide it.

Emperor Daojun's already withered face turned black immediately when he heard the words. He didn't think that the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River was caused by flowers and stones. After all, flowers and stones are not food and money. The intention was for Pei Gong, and it was for him, an official of the Great Song Dynasty, but Zhu Xi kept concealing the military information and did not report it, which made him angry.

Wang Fu wanted to submit a memorial, but the Emperor Daojun only said: "What's the matter, please come and read it."

Wang Fu took the order to look through it in a hurry, and the next moment he fell to his knees with a "plop", and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Hangzhou fell, Chen Jian was martyred, Zhao Ting disappeared, and the number of bandits has reached 10,000+. The city was set on fire, burned, killed and looted..."

As soon as this remark came out, the two groups of courtiers immediately gasped. Hangzhou is an important town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Emperor Daojun stared wide-eyed, leaned forward, opened his mouth, but didn't utter a word.

At this moment, Tong Guan hurriedly went out to work again: "Your Majesty, please send troops quickly to suppress the bandits."

After a long while, the Taoist emperor asked, "Where is the Western Army now?"

Tong Guandao: "Xihe, Qinfeng, Huanqing, Jingyuan, Yanyan, the five armies will arrive in two or three days, and the east army will arrive about tomorrow afternoon at the latest."

After hearing this, the Emperor Daojun calmed down a little, and thought about it: "I will pass on my will. Zhu Xi corrupted and harmed the people, causing chaos in the southeast, and he will be a commoner. Fleeing officials is guilty of the same crime, Jiangnan should be punished by the bureau... abolished!"

Tong Guan was stunned for a moment, knowing the Taoist emperor's intentions, such a major event involves the whole world, there must be someone to take the blame, now that Chen Jian in West Zhejiang is dead, he is martyred for the country, not only can't question the crime, but also treat his heirs kindly, so Zhu Xi Is it too light to be demoted to the common people when you are about to come out and top the bag?
"The officials are wise!" Manchu civil and military shouted in unison.

The Emperor Daojun pondered for a moment, and his eyes fell on Zhao Tun: "The king of Qin listens to the order!"

Zhao Tun walked out of the class, only to hear the Daojun Emperor say: "King Qin, I have appointed you Lianghuai Xuanfu to set up a system envoy, and set up bodyguards to command [-] soldiers and horses, and have power over the Lianghuai military and government, and go south to seek thieves!"

Zhao Tun led the order and went back to work.

The Emperor Daojun looked at Zhao Kai again, Zhao Kai came out, and the Emperor Daojun said: "King Yun, I have appointed you Liangjiang Xuanfu System Envoy, set up the front of the palace to command [-] troops and horses, have power over Liangjiang's military administration, and go south to seek thieves!"

Zhao Kai hurriedly took orders and went back to work.

At this time, Tong Guanshang was standing outside the class, and Emperor Daojun looked at him and said, "Tong Aiqing!"

Tong Guan said: "The humble minister is here!"

Emperor Daojun nodded: "This time you will lead the Western Army, and I will give you the envoy of the Xuanfu System of Zhejiang and Zhejiang Provinces to lead the Western Army on the fifth route and the first road in Hedong, and go south to hunt for thieves. On the day of triumph, I will reward you myself! "

Tong Guan fell to his knees with a "plop", kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I dare to do my best to repay Your Majesty!"

The Emperor Daojun nodded and told him to get up and go back to work, then pondered for a while and said:
Liu Yanqing was named Liu Yanqing, deputy envoy of Xuanfu in Zhejiang and Zhejiang provinces, and the elite soldiers of Han and Fan in the Western Army and Hedong Army were in command.

Xin Xingzong, Yang Weizhong, deputy commander of Xihe Bingdu.

Liu Zhen was ruled by Jingyuan soldiers.

Yang Keshi, Zhao Ming, Deputy Commander of Huanqing Military Command.

Huang Di, under the command of Yanyan Bing.

Wang Huan, Ma Gongzhi, and Qin Fengbing ruled the deputy rulers.

Yijing, the east of the river is under the control of soldiers.

These people are all generals of the Western Army, and they are still on the road at the moment, but the Emperor Daojun has issued an oral order, and someone will immediately make an edict to greet them and send them there.

Then the Emperor Daojun promised a reward:
Anyone who captures or kills Fang La, the bandit chieftain, will be appointed as a defense envoy by civilian officials, rewarded with 1 bolts of silk, 500 guan of money, [-] taels of silver, and [-] taels of gold.

Whoever captures or kills the bandit general alive will be awarded the title of Wuyi doctor by civilian officials, and will be rewarded with 5000 bolts of silk, 300 taels of money, [-] taels of silver, and [-] taels of gold.

If a well-known leader is captured alive or killed, the civilian official will be named Dun Wulang, rewarded with 1000 bolts of silk, 100 taels of money, [-] taels of silver, and [-] taels of gold.

If there are any of the above who do not want to be officials, let them do as they please, and the rewards can be increased. If they are officials appointed by the imperial court, civil and military students, ministers, small officials, generals, soldiers, etc., who capture or kill the aforementioned thieves, etc., it can be compared to moving to an official position. Reward gold, silver, money, and silk. If there are thieves who turn to the dark and turn to the light, arrest and kill the person mentioned in the previous item, and send the leader or head of the thief to the official for verification, he can be exempted from the death penalty. give.

After arranging the three-way army, the Emperor Daojun breathed a sigh of relief. This time the thieves were recruited mainly by the Western Army, assisted by King Qin and King Yun, and the two kings only brought the Forbidden Army of Gyeonggi.

Both civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty knew the reason, they did not want the two princes to have too much contact with the generals of the Western Army, so they let Tong Guan lead the Western Army.

The Emperor Daojun looked down and said: "Although the situation in the south of the Yangtze River is urgent, it is not advisable to rush and panic. After three days, the Western Army will arrive, and the Gyeonggi Army will go out together!"

Tong Guan couldn't help but sighed in his heart when he heard the words, soldiers are precious and fast, and they should be dispatched immediately, but the Emperor Daojun obviously refused to let the Gyeonggi Imperial Army take the lead, and still had to wait for the Western Army to set off together.

After discussing the matter for an hour or two, before the court was over, the Emperor Daojun felt dizzy and went to Zhilan Xiaozhu to rest.

Zhilan Xiaozhu is the study room. After he arrived, a court lady came to deliver tea. The Emperor Daojun took the tea bowl, took a sip, stood up and walked around with his hands behind his back.

He was bored, so he looked at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, and looked at the "Three Hundred Miles of Jialing Mountains and Rivers" painted by Wu Daozi and Li Sixun. Seeing the disadvantages, he let out a long sigh.

Then came to "Picture of Golden Pheasant in Furong", which he made not long ago, both Li Tang and Zhang Zeduan were full of praise after reading it, the Emperor Daojun stopped for a long time in front of his own painting, dazed.

In that picture, a beautiful golden pheasant landed on a branch of hibiscus, with gorgeous and plump feathers, dragging its gorgeous long tail to look back, while butterflies dancing beside it, plucking flowers and leaves, fascinated by flowers, and autumn chrysanthemums in the lower left corner are sparse and swaying. , quite proud of Lingshuang's spirit.

The more he looked at it, the more he was in a daze, his heart was at a loss, as if he didn't know what to do next.

At this time, Cai You was begging to see him outside, and the Emperor Daojun moved just now, and someone was called in to ask what was going on.

Cai You came in and said politely: "Officials, I see that the officials are busy with state affairs day and night, Fei Si is sad, and specially trained some red and green geisha, and today they are waiting outside the palace, to play tricks for Long Live."

Emperor Daojun asked someone to come to see him. After a while, Cai You led him and knelt down together.

Emperor Daojun looked at Cai You and said, "I've been busy with state affairs for days, and I'm tired, so it's hard for me to be loyal to Aiqing."

Cai Youlian said it was his duty to be a courtier, and then he called the sumo wrestling of two female artists as a show. The two female artists had thin waists and arms, and they circled the field sumo wrestling, which was very ridiculous. on it.

The Emperor Daojun was overjoyed when he saw it, and he opened his mouth to deliver a decree to reward the winner with a piece of colorful silk.

Then came up a male art boy in green, with regular facial features, thin skin and tender flesh, and he looked like a beautiful boy.

The male artist and the winning female artist sumo, the two fight for ten rounds. The boy holds the female artist's arms with both hands and raises three times. The female artist's body is as light as a swallow, and her waist is flexible. The boy couldn't beat the female artist, and she was so anxious that she was sweating profusely. The female artist took advantage of the momentum to lift the boy up and down three times. After the last fall, the female artist took advantage of the boy's unsteady heels and hugged the boy down his waist with both hands. After a moment of force, the boy couldn't stand and fell to the ground on his back, and the female artist was on top of the boy.

The Emperor Daojun couldn't stop laughing when he saw it, tears streaming down his face, "Quickly take another bolt of colored silk as a reward."

The female artist took the colored silk and went down, the boy was so ashamed that his face was like a red cloth, and he felt ashamed.

At this time, Cai You saw the fire, and immediately took off his long cotton gown, and put on shorts and narrow trousers. He found someone to paint vermilion on his mouth and pastel on his face, and appeared in person to compete with the female artist sumo.

Since the female artists were not his opponents, they waved wildly, and the female artists behind came up together, trapping Cai You in the middle, turning round and round like a revolving lantern, half-playing, each of them was exhausted and panting, dripping with sweat, even more so. nice.

The Emperor Daojun immediately beamed with joy. At this moment, he had forgotten all the major events in the south of the Yangtze River...

Let's say that when Zhao Tun returned to the mansion after disbanding the imperial court, he had a moment of calculation in his mind. This Jiangnan conquest was dominated by the Western Army, and the Daojun Emperor's idea was to preserve the strength of the Gyeonggi Imperial Army. Although he and Zhao Kai led the way separately, as long as they defended Jiangbei and Jiangxi are accomplished, not seeking merit, but seeking no faults.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with the arrangement of the Emperor Daojun. As long as the two Huaihe and the two rivers are strangled tightly, and the mountains in the south of Fujian are not convenient for the army to walk, then the two Zhejiang will be a situation of catching a turtle in a urn.

The only bad thing is that Hangzhou has already fallen, and Fang Laru has a foresight. The next step is to attack Jiangning, the capital of Jiangnan East Road. In the current situation, relying on the natural danger of the Yangtze River, the two Huaihe Rivers and Huaihe Rivers can be temporarily protected, so the following may not be unable to deal with the Western Army led by Tong Guan.

But these are not things to consider right now, and it will be decided according to the changing situation. No one knows what Fang La will do next.

Just after the Jiangnan incident happened a few days ago, Zhao Tun sent someone to Fujian Huang Jue to deliver a letter, asking him to immediately lead the pirates, and take advantage of the chaos in the southeast and the world's eyes on the two Zhejiang provinces, quietly go to Guangzhou to destroy Pu As long as the Hu people and the Pu clan are wiped out, there will be countless gold and silver ships. When Huang Gu sits in Fuzhou and controls Guangdong and Guangxi in the south, the situation will be completed.

Zhao Tong thought for a moment, got up and went to Suiyulou again, this time the Southern Expedition was no better than the last time Wang Qing was beaten, Wang Qing didn't have as many soldiers as Fang La, let alone many masters.

Fang La's subordinates like Old Buddha Wang and Chen Kuutong are all masters, and according to Lianazha, Fang Qifo's martial arts are also extremely high. She has been observing for a long time, but she doesn't know what level she is in.

In addition, there are Bao Daoyi, Shi Bao, Fang Jie, Deng Yuanjue, Chen Fan, Pang Wanchun, Wang Yin, Li Tianrun, Si Xingfang, Zheng Biao, etc., all of whom are highly skilled in martial arts.

There are also great leaders from all over the world, Suzhou Shisheng, Yuezhou Qiu Daoren, Chuzhou Hongzai, Xianju Lu Shinang, they are not ordinary people, they are far from comparable to those of Wang Qing.

This time, he not only wanted to take all the capable generals from the Guards and Military Division, but even some people from Suiyulou, he also wanted to pick up the capable generals and take them away.

Apart from taking precautions, he also has other ideas, and these ideas need to be fulfilled by his close subordinates.

After arranging the manpower in Suiyulou, it was already getting late, and Zhao Tang asked Lei San to drive the carriage to Zhao Yuannu's place.

As soon as he entered the small courtyard, Zhao Yuannu Pingtingting came out to welcome her, seeing her beautiful face, charming and charming, she said softly: "My lord, how can you come to my slave's house when you have time?"

Zhao Tun glanced at her, and said with a smile, "Clean up, and follow me to Yangzhou in three days!"
