He died of illness, which really made matters worse. You must know that Zhang Heng was very powerful. Historically, he was found guilty of slandering Yang Guang and was killed for defamation. He escaped in this life, but he still died at the wrong time.
So once he dies, the person in charge of Jiangdu will be Tongshou Zhao Yuanke. This person has no ability and is not on the same level as his father Zhao Fen.
Such incompetent people are usually very conservative. He no longer dares to send troops to suppress the rebellion, but huddles in Jiangdu City.
Du Fuwei liked this best. Anyway, I will definitely not be able to defeat Jiangdu. Since you won't come out, I will attack other places. So Du Fuwei moved to Jiangdu County, conquered the Zhao Po Formation in Haining County, and completely wiped out the Hussars School.
There are more than 2,000 people from the Hao tribe of Wei Song Dynasty.
In just one month, he occupied all the territory of Jiangdu County except Jiangdu City, and his number of troops increased to 70,000.
Just as he was preparing to march south to attack Liyang, Li Zitong, who came from Shandong, sent an envoy to find Du Fuwei, hoping to surrender.
"This guy is unreliable. I know him," Fugong Er said. "I used to follow Zuo Caixiang, but now Zuo Caixiang is defeated. He wants to join us again. We are not from the same group. Let's go our separate ways."
The newly attached Zhao Pozhen was unhappy after hearing this. What do you mean? I am considered an outsider now. You need me now, but will you take care of me in the future?
Du Fuwei was worthy of his leadership qualities. Hearing this, he said categorically: "When a wise man comes to vote, he should be accepted and entrusted with important responsibilities. After all, he is a native of the country, and he is just a fallen grass in the Changbai Mountain. How can he sincerely accept him and reject him?"
They are all fellow Shandong residents.
Wang Xiongdan, the adopted son, said: "Now we have to attack Liyang, but we may not have enough troops. He came just in time. Liyang and Danyang have always been in harmony with each other. It is best to capture these two places together. Now strong reinforcements are coming.
It’s a God-given opportunity.”
Liyang and Danyang are both small counties, just south of Jiangdu, which is later known as Nanjing, Ma'anshan, and Wuhu.
It is because he is small that if you fight this, the other person will come to your aid quickly. It is also because he is small that Xiao Xuan dares to put his name on the official list. He is doing business on the canal, and Sili Tai does not dare to investigate him because he is
The queen's nephew.
Why do they want to fight there? Because there are rebels in the south.
Rebels and rebels are from the same family. They all have a common enemy, which is the officers and soldiers. Therefore, in Du Fuwei's opinion, if he can go south and recruit those rebels under his command, then he will have the strength to attack Jiangdu in the future.
Don't look at the 70,000 people he has now. These are rebels, not regular troops. If they are the elite of the Left and Right Prefecture, 5,000 people can defeat them.
They are now relying on their advantage of large numbers to compete with the government.
In Xin'an County in the south, there was a powerful rebel leader named Wang Hua. Poyang and Yuzhang counties had Cao Shiqi and Lin Shihong, Jinling County had Guan Chong, Lujiang County had Zhang Shan'an, and Wu County had Liu Yuanjin.
In Du Fuwei's opinion, if these people can be captured, the entire Jianghuai region will fall into his hands.
But things never go in the direction people think they will.
........
Rebels also appeared in Guanzhong, but this was Guanzhong after all, and they were quickly suppressed, and grain and grass from Bashu were being continuously sent to Guanzhong, which ensured that the people here were not as miserable as other places.
Yang Ming was still pleased. It would be beneficial to visit Bashu early. This is the granary of the capital.
"What's going on with the second uncle? How come he can't even wipe out a rebel?" Yang Yinjiang frowned in the dormitory and said angrily to Yang Yuanqing: "What time has it been now and you are still telling me about Xiao Ruyuan?
Is there something wrong with your brain?"
Yang Yuanqing didn't dare to fart, so he just stood aside with his head hanging down. He was used to being scolded by his sister. It's not that I rebelled, nor that I was in trouble in suppressing thieves. Why are you angry at me?
Pei Shuying was very strange today. She was washing Yang Ming's feet. When she heard this, she said: "The Xingyang rebels are not as powerful as before. They number tens of thousands. How have you ever heard of a civil unrest of this scale before?
"
Yang Yuanqing heard that Pei Shuying was helping him to relieve the siege, and hurriedly said: "Actually, the main problem is that the army is in the north. Otherwise, the rabble in Wagang Village would have been wiped out long ago."
Li Jiancheng was here tonight and nodded: "Xuan Zong is already very powerful. He is chasing the rebels and they are almost running to Shandong. If we can attack together with Zhang Xutuo, the Wagang bandits will be defeated."
"Don't take it for granted," Yang Ming said: "Be prepared for danger in times of peace, and don't underestimate those rebels. You never thought that Shandong would be in such chaos before? With Xuanzang and Zhang Xutuo, they can only carry it out and delay time. If they really want to annihilate them,
We still have to wait for the army to come back."
"Fortunately, Guanzhong has stabilized, and the rebels in Fufeng County have been wiped out by the prefect Dou Min." Yang Yuanqing frowned and said, "It seems that the Western Turks will not cause trouble. Wouldn't it be better if Cui Hongsheng could be brought back?"
Yang Ming shook his head: "You saw that the Western Turks did not cause trouble because Cui Hongsheng was there. If he was not there, what you would see would be a different scene."
Li Jiancheng said: "The civil unrest in Shanxi has been suppressed by my father. Song Laosheng in Hedong is still very powerful. It was he who led the two thousand people to annihilate the rebel bandits in Changping Shangdang.
"
"Of course," Yang Yuanqing said: "Those two thousand people are His Highness's subordinates, the best among the best. If Mr. Song can't get rid of him, it only shows that he is incompetent."
There are also many rebels in Shanxi, but they are not serious at all. Firstly, there are heavy troops in Jinyang, and there are heavy troops in Hedong. Furthermore, this line is the supply line of the army ahead, so we keep a close eye on it.
Historically, there would be a great rebel Liu Wuzhou in Shanxi, but Liu Wuzhou is now following Li Shimin in Lingnan.
There should also be Liang Shidu, Bai Yusuo, Sun Hua and others in Guanzhong. Liang Shidu has all become the crown prince and has now taken over the post of Yanxing Gate Supervisor General left by Dugu Anye.
Bai Yusuo was the one who danced in Fufeng County and was killed by Dou Min. As for Sun Hua, I had never heard of this person at all.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Historically, Sun Hua rebelled in Feng Yi County. In this life, no one can rebel in Feng Yi County, because this is the east exit of the capital.
Yang Ming looked at Chen Shuyi and said, "How long will it take for Xiao Shilian to come back?"
Chen Shuyi said sadly: "Counting the days, the mourning period is almost over, but Jiangnan is in such chaos right now, the roads are blocked, and it will not be easy for him to come back."
Yang Ming's song in Hedong was originally given to Xiao Shilian, but he returned home with Xiao Maha's coffin for burial and had to observe mourning for twenty-five months. So Song Laosheng naturally took over the song in Hedong.
Tonight, there would not have been so many people originally, so Yang Ming and Li Jiancheng were chatting. More and more people came, and they gathered together, making it very lively.
Pei Shuying said: "So far, there are no rebels in Jingzhou. It can be seen that His Highness has made great achievements in governing Jingzhou. The people are stable and will not be deceived by thieves."
Yang Yinjiang smiled and said: "It's not just for this reason. Of course, my husband must be the first to contribute. He ran Jingzhou for three years and rested with the people. The local people are grateful to the court. Another reason is that there are few conscripts.
We in the East Palace have spent money on the two counties affected by the disaster, so they are relatively stable now."
Yang Ming smiled and said nothing. That's because Xiao Mian, the troublemaker, is not here. Most of Jingzhou is the hometown of the old Liang Dynasty. Jiangling was the capital before. This place was historically Xiao Mian's territory. Fortunately, I went with him this time.
It's north.
It is not that there is no civil unrest, but it can only be called civil unrest. There is no leading culprit, and it is basically ordinary people making trouble. In this case, it does not matter.
"Counting the days, there should be fighting in the north, right? Then in two or three months, His Majesty should be back," Yang Yinjiang said, walked to the corridor, waved to the outside, and then a palace maid general Zheng Guanyin
We were brought in.
Jiancheng sat pretending and said nothing. The Zheng family did not persuade Yang Ming, so they entrusted it to Jiancheng. Jiancheng was afraid that he would not be able to persuade him, so he entrusted it to Pei Shuying.
Pei Shuying didn't want to get involved in this matter, but she still brought the people here. However, she didn't expect that Yang Yinjiang would bring people in directly.
There are quite a lot of people in the dormitory right now.
Yang Ming frowned immediately when he saw this.
Yang Yinjiang smiled and said: "Your Highness likes to soak your feet, so go and change the basin of hot water."
Zheng Guanyin didn't dare to raise her head, so she walked over to pick up the footbath to change the water. Her family was undoubtedly very powerful. There were several big bosses during the reign of Emperor Kaihuang, but her father was Dr. Jin Ziguanglu.
.
Let’s look at the fathers of other female relatives of Yang Ming. None of them can compare with Zheng Jibo. How can you compare with Dugu Zuan, Li Yuan, and Wei Zhen? Let’s not mention Pei Ju and Xuangan.
"Who asked her to come?" Yang Ming frowned and looked at Yang Yinjiang.
Yang Yinjiang shrugged and said, "Don't look at me? Ayun brought me in."
Yang Ming looked at Pei Shuying in surprise: "Do you still like to do this kind of thing?"
"It's just a matter of loyalty when entrusted by others," Pei Shuying said helplessly. Jiancheng's daughter-in-law was her cousin, so Yang Ming naturally guessed who it was.
Yang Ming looked at Jiancheng and said, "I don't know how Shimin is doing in Lingnan. Fortunately, he is here. Otherwise, Feng Ang would also have questions. Are there any letters from home recently?"
"No," Li Jiancheng said angrily: "As soon as Shimin went out, he forgot that he still had a family. Since he went to Lingnan, he has only sent four letters home to my mother, and they were all last year."
"Perhaps the road is not smooth," Li Xiuning hurriedly spoke to help: "Shimin is still filial."
Li Jiancheng sighed and said: "I know he is filial, but he is thousands of miles away, so he must send a letter to report that he is safe. It's good that there is no news."
Yang Ming frowned and said: "There is no family letter, which means he is in a difficult situation. Li Mi wrote to me that Feng Xuan of Lingnan has always been uneasy, especially after the rebels appeared in Jianghuai, the burden on the people of the world is not light."
Li Jiancheng said: "Feng Xuan shouldn't have the guts to rebel, right?"
"Remove the lack of courage," Yang Ming said with a smile: "People have always had this courage."
