There is a camp here, the Bandit Village. It used to be one of the eighteen villages under the rebel leader Wang Bo. It is now one of the few bandit gathering places in the Changbai Mountain area.
After Wang Bo's defeat, many of his men fled here to avoid being pursued by officers and soldiers.
Some of the rebels who followed Wang Bo did so out of helplessness, and Zhang Xutuo could spare them, but some of them were simply bandits, and they would definitely be killed if they were caught.
In the past two years, Shandong's main task has been to appease the people of aristocratic families. As for the bandits hiding in Changbai Mountain, they really have no time to deal with them.
Firstly, the scale is too small and not worth dealing with. Secondly, Changbai Mountain is a natural hiding place. If you mobilize people to go in and suppress the bandits, you may not be able to catch them.
So Zhang Xutuo naturally ignored such a small harm.
This village is called General's Village because the bandit leader inside, who calls himself General, rebelled with Wang Bo and killed many officers and soldiers. If someone like him is caught when he goes out, he will most likely end up in trouble.
Originally, my life was peaceful, but something has been a little strange recently.
Because more and more people are evading military service and serving in the army, they are fleeing to them, and there are more and more people.
Luo Shixin nodded. I also want to leave quickly. If I leave again, it will be difficult to get out of Shandong. There are many bandits blocking the road and robbing me. Although I don't have dozens of followers around me, there are too many bandits.
Those two people had been close friends since they were young. In fact, Fugong Er was tricked by Fang Xuanling and became a bandit.
"I've learned a lesson from my humble position," Du Fuwei nodded.
Ning Yatuo seemed to have aged a few years in the past few months. That conscription was His Majesty's will. I was very good at it. If I did something wrong, Your Majesty could kill me.
Because Wang Bo rebelled in this place, the people of Shandong naturally believed that they had to run to this place if they wanted to avoid the officers and soldiers from arresting young men.
Luo Shixin said with a smile: "The prince once said that Shandong cannot be successful in one day. Besides, we still have to rely on him. Shandong will be very difficult in the future, but the more difficult it is, the more talented the Xuancheng Marquis will be.
.”
"Brother, it would be great to go up like this," Ning Yayuan said: "From now on, we will act in a high-profile manner, and the officers and soldiers will take care of you. Seeing that fewer and fewer people are fleeing to the mountains, it will inevitably attract officers and soldiers, and they may take them with them.
Clean us up."
It's just that Zhang Xu is younger and has great personal charm. He gathered a group of bandits who had fallen into captivity in Changbai Mountain under his command, so Ning Yayuan didn't follow Zhang Xu at this time.
At the age of seventeen, he looks smaller than a man, but the difference between him and a seventy-year-old is small.
Fugong Er said: "The civilians in the mountains can be used by you, and the people's hearts are at your mercy. You need to withdraw to the mountains as soon as possible to avoid encounters with the government troops."
You have to repay retaliation. Many years ago, Fang Xuanling fell into the trap and became a bandit. He came to Ningya Garden and died because of me.
Fu Gong'er said with an ugly face: "Brothers came to report. We haven't found any traces of officers and soldiers inside. Wang Botuo is too powerful. I don't have many fierce men on hand. We are short of weapons and have only a few hundred men."
, once the officers and soldiers retreat from the mountain to encircle and suppress us, I'm afraid your brother will be trapped outside."
Now, the troops recruited from Shandong are on their way out, which is considered a relatively dangerous period. Once the small army leaves, there will be many dangers in the official road.
"We should be considered afraid of death, right?" Du Fuwei said.
Wang Botuo said with a smile: "Those who are afraid of death do not have the advantage of being afraid of death; those who are afraid of death do not have the advantage of being afraid of death."
Wang Botuo nodded: "In the name of recruiting military pay, you secretly deducted some food and grass and stored it in the Licheng treasury for future needs. This northern expedition will start after the end of this year. You will also
If you don’t survive this year, you will be worse in the past.”
Fang Xuanling is eighty-one years old this year. Historically, he was also a small-time rebel leader. It is said that I am the adoptive father of the two protagonists. Yes, that person has to take in his adopted son. In the eyes of others, he is still
Seven have been confiscated.
I am the one who dares to agree to something like Ning Yatuo. He is lower than you and is also a prince. Why did he say that?
"After this year, Xuanling will help you talk to the prince and find a place for you," Wang Botuo said with a bitter smile.
The number of soldiers assigned to Shandong Touxia was small, only 80,000, but there were still less than 800,000 civilians, and all the grain supplies from counties and counties had also been requisitioned.
But once the conscription was launched, it was over. Bandits broke out, and the people were struggling to survive. It seemed that all the wealthy merchants and small families were hiding outside the city, and they didn't dare to go out yet.
"The Licheng Military Mansion must maintain a standing force of 8,000 people. Otherwise, once the small army leaves, we may not even be able to protect the county government offices." The person who said that was Wang Botuo's newly retired favorite general, Du
Fuwei.
Because there has been no news transmission between the capital and the east capital, the postmen are disconnected, and some people dare to rob along that road.
"My son's words are exactly what you want," Fang Xuanling laughed and said, "I Zhang Xu can do it, how can you, Fang Xuanling, do it? It's just a passing moment or the opportunity, just as Xiong Dan said
, wait until the small imperial army from Shandong leaves, and then all the counties and counties have sufficient troops, and then it is time for you to show off your skills. "
"That dog emperor conscripted troops twice every eight days. It was as if the war was never finished before it was fought," said the adopted son Kan Leng: "Look, there was a small chaos in Shandong that time, and we only looked at the civilians who had fled.
People from all over Shandong know that Ning Yatuo's recruitment is very smooth."
After saying that, Kan Leng said sternly: "Father, if we take advantage of the situation to do something small and hide in the deep mountains all day long, how are we different from the savages? Anyway, going out will mean death, but we are taking advantage of the situation to recruit refugees.
Form a rebel army."
Wang Botuo is too slow to do it, so what the hell is he doing? Is it just to make Shandong live a more stable life?
........
How about playing?
Fu Gong'er, who stayed behind in Jianghuai, rebelled directly. Before he came to be caught by Li Xiaogong, he lied that Fang Xuanling had asked me to rebel, thus implicating Fang Xuanling in Chang'an.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Fu Gong'er frowned and said: "Zhi Shilang was so weak back then that he escaped and died in defeat. It can be seen that Shandong is a place where justice is appropriate, and you will still have to do it in the future.
Go south and stay far away from the imperial army."
"Sigh... Now it's not about catching strong men at all. The bad thing is that they are too few and too slow to gather together," Luo Shixin said: "Once the small army leaves Shandong, I am afraid there will be rebellions everywhere. Eight years later, this turmoil will
, I’m afraid it will have to be played again.”
Such a strong relationship, history still has problems between Fang Xuanling and Fu Gong'er. Before the two surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, Fang Xuanling took the initiative to apply for an audience with Li Yuan. In Chang'an, he was named King of Wu, served as the crown prince's Taibao, and served as the Minister of the Southeast Road.
, the pacifying envoy south of Jianghuai, under Qi Wang Li Yuanji, was the seventh-in-command of Xiao Tang.
Fang Xuanling was also a landowner, but my parents died early, and I was a prodigal, so everything was gone, and the eldest auxiliary minister was always helping me, always stealing sheep from my aunt's house to give to Fang Xuanling
.
The people of Shandong became distraught when they heard about the military service. They waited for the officials to explain vaguely, and then they were not ready to escape with their families. Eight years later, they had just experienced it. They seemed to be living a stable life, and then they were ready again.
Came once.
Fang Xuanling's epitaph records that my death was due to the fact that Fu Gong'er "stayed in Danyang in order to provoke rebellion", which caused Du me to "feel worried that my death would last forever".
The level of rebellion and the sphere of influence of those two people in the late Sui Dynasty were comparable to Ning Ya's, but it must be said that Zhang Xu was the key figure who fired the first shot at the small chaos in the late Sui Dynasty.
The reason why Ning Yayuan is there is to deal with the hundreds of thousands of acres of open fields that Xuangan is here to deal with. There must have been no such thing as the Northern Expedition this year. Everything in Shandong is stable and is developing in the worst direction.
Wang Botuo let out a long sigh: "The situation is so small that you can't change it. Even the prince can only sigh with regret."
"That's right," Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "You followed Chishiro in the south and north, and you were defeated. You went to Hebei before leaving Shandong. You can see that those two places are where the government is weak, and the Jianghuai water system is crisscrossed.
If you stay in the water and defend it, why should you fear the officers and soldiers?"
Our family in Ning Yayuan was not originally a wealthy family in Licheng. During the rebellion eight years later, my brother Luo Ming, the Prime Minister of Linji County, died at the hands of Zhang Xu. Our family was very close to Ning Yatuo.
"Bad!" Fang Xuanling slapped the table: "Brother, I am not the long history of your Du family army. Let's give ourselves an official title and do it."
The aunt who came to assist Gonger reported her official position, and the two elders hid outside the mountains and became bandits. Ning Yayuan was only eighteen years old this year. She was considered to be a group of people who fell into the trap of bandits in Changbai Mountain very early. Zhang Xu
They all came from the front.
The adopted son Wang Xiongdan said at the side: "You sent people to seven places to inquire whether Wang Botuo has left Qi County. I am responsible for recruiting the soldiers in Shandong. I heard that the war will start in July or July. How can we escape?"
Where should we go? If we hide in the mountains for a while, we should be fine after a month or two."
As for Ningya Garden, it will cross the Yellow River from Qi County, retreat to Qinghe County, then take a boat south from the canal, go straight to Luoyang, and then return to the capital from Luoyang.
That route is the most dangerous, because there are all small troops under that route. The Xiaoguo army that came to protect the children did not go through the canal, and the most dangerous official road in the entire Xiao Sui Dynasty was between Luoyang and Guanzhong.
.
Wang Botuo smiled and said: "Xuanling should return to Beijing as soon as possible as soon as he prepares for the trip in the past few days. There will be nothing to do without him there. If he leaves later, I'm afraid the road back to Beijing will be less bumpy.
"
And the elder brother I talk about is my hard-core Fugong Er, who is also a small rebel.
As more and more people came in from Changbai Mountain, Du Fuwei, the bandit leader of the General's Village, became more and more worried.
Looking at the carriage and horses leaving, Du Fuwei frowned and said, "That man is not a coward at all. Did the prince ask me to go back? Look at how bold I am."
And Yang Ming also said in his letter to me, do your best.
"That's wrong," Luo Shixin nodded and said, "But it's only a little worse than this year. Compared with last year, it's far the same. Bandits together are not a spark. In the future, when Xuancheng is over, we will have to put out the fire in seven places."
Now I am seventeen years old. I have been suppressing bandits for a year in Li. I am brave and have enemies. People in Shandong area gave me the title of Da Meng Ben.
Two days ago, Wang Botuo and his generals personally sent Luo Shixin's motorcade out of the city.
Wang Botuo nodded and said: "We must be afraid of death, so we are completely useful people. Useful people will naturally be discarded like nothing."
