Overturning the Liangshan of the Water Margin, I am the master

() Everyone likes beautiful women, but Song Qing is not so anxious that all women are pulled under the bed, and he doesn't think so much now.

After hearing Xia Houcheng's thoughts, Song Qing has been thinking about this matter. After returning to Luoyang, he brought together the Military Aircraft Department, the chief officers of the six departments, and Chen Dong and others to discuss it several times, and to take a closer look at the matter. Completed this decree.

So before the autumn harvest, a decree was promulgated to census the population of all state capitals under King Liang's rule.The government decree stipulates that no landlord, big family, or gentry is allowed to hide their population privately, otherwise they will be punished as treason.

Those who report the full amount within the prescribed time limit and hand over the hidden population will be rewarded by the government.Anyone who deliberately shirks, delays, or even refuses to obey orders shall be punished with a felony.

When the Liangshan troops entered Hebei, they had already dealt with a group of landlords and gentry in the name of suppressing bandits, so this decree did not even stir up waves in Hebei.

But in the vast area north of the Yangtze River and south of Kaifeng, the situation is different, because the actions of the Song and Qing Dynasties are undoubtedly no different from killing them.The serfs have all been handed over, who will plow and harvest the fields afterward?

But the imperial court has clearly ordered the north of the Yangtze River to be governed by King Liang, so it may be useless to seek the imperial court.But you can't let Liang Wang be so nonsense!

So some people went to Lin'an to find Zhao Huan, and others gathered together to plot how to deal with this decree of King Liang.

In fact, Song Qing and Zhu Wu have a list of officials from various places, as well as their family backgrounds, etc., but having everything doesn't mean knowing everything.

After all, the manpower of internal guards and spies is limited, and at the same time, these resources cannot be wasted here.So at this time, it is time to test the administrative ability of Song Qing and his small court.

As the date approached, there was no movement in the prefectures south of Kaifeng and north of the Yangtze River, but the prefects of each prefecture submitted memorials one after another, affirming that there were no serfs under their rule.

For these reactions, Song Qing and his officials had long been prepared and did not say much.But the state capital near the Yangtze River soon discovered a shocking thing.

Numerous Liangshan naval warships sailed up the river and deployed on the north bank of the Yangtze River.The connection between the two sides of the Yangtze River is cut off, and ordinary people can pass through, but government ships need to be carefully inspected, and if there is no communication document issued by Luoyang, they will be seized immediately.

At the same time, teams of heavily armed Liangshan soldiers also entered the state capitals, and the original garrisons of the state capitals were transferred out of the city for reorganization.Anyone who resists or refuses to obey will be shot to death.

King Liang is the appeasement envoy of Jiangbei Province publicly appointed by the imperial court. He is in charge of life and death. At the same time, he has hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command. Who dares to fight against him?

Combined with the proclamation issued by Luoyang just now, the state governments understand that King Liang is going to be serious.

But I understand that I understand that I want to try my best to delay this kind of thing, at least to see if there is anyone who is ahead and implements the decree of King Liang.

As a result, before the deadline set by Luoyang, all parts of the country were still in an eerie calm.

Yangzhou, located on the north bank of the Yangtze River, has superior geographical conditions, a developed economy, and is also the closest place to Lin'an.Therefore, the people here, especially the officials, do not recognize King Liang's rule here, and have always been in contact with the Lin'an court.

At the beginning, Song Qing didn't come here because he was busy dealing with Deng Yuanjue's attack.However, with the gradual stabilization of Hebei and other places, he has freed up his hands and started to manage these places.

At this time, in the mansion of Du Huaizhong, the magistrate of Yangzhou, a group of gentry and officials were sitting together, discussing how to deal with the sudden move of King Liang.

Hello Yangzhou!Whether it is an official or a business here, it is unmatched by other places.The folk customs are simple, as long as you can eat enough, there is no resistance at all.High-ranking officials in the DPRK and China take the lead in corruption, and of course these local officials are even more at ease.

Therefore, it is best to maintain the status quo, but King Liang wants to count the population and hand over the hidden serfs within a time limit, which really greatly violated their interests.It has aroused unanimous resistance from these people.

"Lord Du, you should come out with a charter! King Liang's army has already entered the city, and it is estimated that they will attack me in a few days."

Some gentry couldn't help complaining.

Du Huaizhong stared at the crowd with a gloomy face, and said after a long while: "I will do my best to uphold the orthodoxy of the court, and swear to the death that I will not be ruled by the bandit chieftains of Liangshan. Do you have the same thoughts as me, gentlemen?"

Du Huaizhong's words spoke out the hearts of the people, and they all said: "We all follow the lead of the adults, what the adults say, we should do what we do."

Du Huaizhong winked at his subordinates, who turned around and went out, bringing back a group of well-dressed warriors in a short while.

In the terrified eyes of everyone, Du Huaizhong said slowly: "To tell the truth, I have already contacted the imperial army, carried out a mutiny, and drove the Liangshan bandits out of the city. , the 27 states in Jiangbei will respond to us, and we will recover the lost land for the imperial court, and we are all meritorious officials of the imperial court."

"My lord, how can the imperial army cooperate with us across the Yangtze River? And I heard that the Liangshan navy is extremely powerful. Can the imperial army come over?"

Some people are not without worries.

Du Huaizhong smiled and said: "Masters, you should know that the little fool in Liangshan gave the artillery to the imperial court on his own initiative? I heard that the imperial court has secretly made hundreds of cannons. When these hundreds of artillery pieces were bombarded together, the Liangshan people might have three heads and six arms." I can't escape death, so what are you worried about?"

Hearing this news, everyone became excited. Now who doesn't know the power of artillery?The court defeated hundreds of thousands of rebels with the ten cannons presented by King Liang. Now there are hundreds of such cannons. What is there to fear in the Liangshan army?

"What did your lord say we should do?"

"Go back and organize your servants and guards. Once the imperial army sets foot on the shore, you will cooperate with the imperial army to cooperate with the outside and completely wipe out the Liangshan thieves."

"Follow the orders of the adults"

These people have already risked their lives for their own interests.After accepting the task assigned by Du Huaizhong, they all went back to prepare.

To say that Du Huaizhong did not lie to them, with the help of the artillery, after the imperial army defeated Fang La's tens of thousands of horses, Zhao Huan's confidence began to swell.

At the same time, the hundreds of cannons he ordered to imitate were also produced. Of course, the cannons they imitated were just copied from the gourd, and they were delivered to the army without even basic tests.

With these sharp weapons in hand, how could Liangshan bandits and golden soldiers and cavalry be still opponents of the imperial army?In particular, those state capitals in the northern regions who earnestly hoped that the imperial army would return had already secretly sent people to contact them. As soon as the imperial army arrived, they would cooperate with the imperial army to eliminate the Liangshan bandits.

So Zhao Huan stood firm and ordered Zhong Shidao to gather troops to prepare for the Northern Expedition. At the same time, he decreed that Song and Qing should be deprived of all their positions, and called on the soldiers and civilians in the north to crusade against Song and Qing and restore the great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Huan belongs to the typical lord who doesn't have a long memory, but not all his courtiers are as brainless as him.

Zhong Shidao, who was appointed by him as the marshal of the Northern Expedition, once urged him not to be suitable for the Northern Expedition for the time being, and should focus on self-cultivation.Even if you want to fight, you should fight the real rebel Fang La first. Let the rebels not fight, but go to attack Liang Wang, who has contributed to the court and is praised by the court as the pillar of the country. What is the difference between beating yourself?

But at the moment, Zhao Huan couldn't listen to anyone's words. He had been bullied by Song Qing in the past few years. Now that he had the opportunity to take revenge, how could he give up?

It's just that before his will came out of Lin'an, Luoyang received a letter from the inner guard of Lin'an, and handed it over to Song Qing in the shortest possible time.

Looking at this secret report, Song Qing couldn't help laughing. He was thinking about how to attack the officials and gentry of Jiangbei Prefecture, and Zhao Huan sent him the opportunity. If he didn't cooperate well, he would feel sorry for this buddy.

He summoned the military aircraft department and ministers of various ministries to convey the news from Lin'an to them.

Hearing this news, all the ministers became excited. The Liangshan forces had already controlled most of the Central Plains. If the Lin'an court took the initiative to attack and then took advantage of the situation to destroy him, wouldn't it be the unification of the world?

What are you waiting for?Let's do it!

Looking at the expressions of the ministers, Song Qing knew what they were thinking, they would be in the Ninth Five-Year Plan and rule the world.That man doesn't have such a dream?But now is clearly not the time.

After discussing with everyone, everyone followed Song Qing's wishes and finally decided not to launch a full-scale war, but to dispatch only the navy and navy, with a total of 6 people and [-] warships.This battle will focus on deterrent warnings.

At the same time, additional troops were secretly transferred to the state capitals. These places will mainly focus on cutting off the culprits. If they are allowed to mess up, it will take a lot of time to manage them in the future.

At this time, Liangshan warships were already cruising on the Yangtze River, ready to attack the south bank at any time, but the Song and Qing sent orders to them, never firing the first shot.

With so many preparations, the various actions of the court people are as ridiculous as clowns in the eyes of Liangshan people.

As the date agreed between Du Huaizhong and the imperial court approached, all the wealthy gentry and powerful families in the city were also ready to cooperate with the imperial army to recover the city as soon as the date arrived.

In fact, this phenomenon is not limited to them, and it is happening silently in many state capitals in Jiangbei.

The last day of Liang Wang's decree, tomorrow is the day to cooperate with the imperial army.As the sky was getting dark and the city gate was about to close, countless soldiers from Liangshan suddenly poured out.

These soldiers did not disturb the people, but began to arrest people according to their respective goals, and killed those who resisted on the spot.Those who were arrested include a government official and a wealthy gentry.

Because the action was quick and decisive, it didn't even cause any turmoil.And this scene is also being staged in many state capitals in Jiangbei at the same time.

At the same time, on the water opposite Yangzhou, countless warships sailed out of the hidden harbor and approached the Jiangbei Liang Shanshui Army quietly.
