"Colluding with outsiders and killing the athletes of this town, is that still a human being?"
"Fangfang Danyan has been established as a town for 130 years, but it is now destroyed by your hands."
"The foundation created by King Fenyang has been passed down to forty-six commanders. I don't want to be betrayed by others today. How sad!"
"Why do you cry and cry? If you die, you will die. I will come and take his dog's head in eighteen years."
"Haha, Dongfang Kui, without Yifang Town, you are nothing! Do you still want Shao Shude to give you wealth?"
On the execution ground, the sound of curses could be heard endlessly.
Dongfang Kui sat there expressionless, as if turning a deaf ear. Now that he has embarked on this road, he can only walk until dark with his eyes closed, and there is nothing to say.
"Execution!" Zhang Yanqiu ordered.
After being a martial artist for half my life, who haven’t I seen? What haven’t I done? I’ve long been hard-hearted.
These hundred and ten Fufang sergeants, who made noise and caused chaos, should be executed as a warning to others.
The execution ground was surrounded by Zhenwu Army sergeants who came from Xiazhou to help Dongfang Kui suppress the rebellion.
This may not be the right thing to say, because the rebellion has long since subsided, and now it is time to settle the scores.
Shao Shude ordered the four towns of Fifang, Yandan, Xingyuan and Fengxiang to select elite men and garrison Hehuang for two years. Except for Fengxiang Town, which was completed relatively quickly, the other three towns had problems of various sizes.
The Shannan West Road Yamen Army had just witnessed Shao Shude's attack on Zhuge Zhongbao and the majesty of Yang Fugong's forces, and they felt a little scared. Although there was some resistance, they finally selected 3,000 elite soldiers and sent them to Huizhou.
When the three thousand people left, the elders of Xingyuan Mansion saw each other off, and they were all very sorry.
A good Xingyuan warrior cannot defend Sangzi, but goes to fight for others. No matter what he thinks, it is awkward.
The resistance in the towns of Yifang and Yandan was even greater.
Let them follow and send troops to fight in Guanzhong. If there is a reward, the warriors of the second town are still willing.
If you go a little further, such as Hexi or Henan, there will be some problems. You need to do some ideological work (increase the rewards) before you can make the trip.
But if they go to a place as far away as Shanzhou and it takes two years to go there, even if the reward from Shuofang Army is more than that of Yifang and Yandan, the top soldiers in the two towns are not willing.
This is not the Guanzhong warrior from more than a hundred years ago!
Before the Anshi Rebellion, the prestige of the imperial court was very strong, and it was not a big problem for farmers in Guanzhong to be requisitioned or recruited to garrison in Helong.
But when is it now? The martial arts group originally formed by bankrupt farmers has been in the army for generations and has been accustomed to it for more than a hundred years. The atmosphere has long been inferior to what it used to be. Didn’t you see that in the middle Tang Dynasty, there were soldiers and farmers in the vassal towns? Did they exist later?
?almost none!
It is natural for a martial artist to be rewarded with food and salary to support his family, hone his martial arts, and work hard for his life. Why should he farm? Isn't my sword fast enough?
In fact, the society in the late Tang Dynasty was not too bad. By the time of the Fifth Dynasty, the atmosphere was even worse. The big-headed soldiers had to be coaxed, and if they didn't get what they wanted, they would kill the generals and rebel. Well, in fact, there is also a specimen of the Five Dynasties in this society.
That was the town of Weibo where the rebels shouted in the streets, "Who wants to be a military envoy?" But they had more conscience than the Fifth Generation sergeants, because they knew how to fight after being paid, and they would not bother with pay after going into battle.
The fundamental reason why the sergeants from the four prefectures of Yan and Yan were making noise and causing chaos was that Shao Shude wanted to send some of them to guard the border in Qingtang, a place where birds did not shit.
Well, this may be just one of the factors. Another reason is that they are worried that their superiors will not keep their words and will not let them come back after two years, even though Shao Shude's reputation is still good.
More than 20 years ago, the imperial court sent 2,000 soldiers from Xu and Si to Guangxi to guard the border. Among them, Pang Xun and other 800 soldiers from Xuzhou were stationed in Guilin for three years. Three years later, the superiors broke their promise and said that it would take another three years. Another three years.
After that, they were still not allowed to come back and said they would stay for another year. The sergeants endured it again and again, and finally they couldn't bear it anymore. They killed the officers and returned to their hometown on their own, which led to the massive Pang Xun Uprising.
The soldiers from the four prefectures of Yanyan were not willing to go to Qingtang, and they were also worried that their superiors' words would not count, so they started making noises and causing chaos.
There wasn't much trouble in Yanzhou. Perhaps it was because it was too close to Xia and Suizhou and had been affected by it all year round. There were not many people who responded to the rebellion, and they were quickly put down by Li Xiaochang. But he didn't dare to
To further stimulate the sergeants, the selection process was suspended.
Things were serious here in Yanzhou. More than a thousand people participated in the rebellion, while other sergeants stood by and watched, refusing to listen to orders and refusing to suppress it. Dongfang Kui had no choice but to comfort him with kind words and rewarded him repeatedly, and then he was able to suppress it.
.
Later, he wrote to Shao Shude for help. Shao Shude ordered Zhang Yanqiu, the envoy of the Zhenwu Army who returned to Xia Sui, to lead his army south to assist Li Xiaochang and Dongfang Kui in suppressing the rebellion.
Based on the actual situation, Zhang Yanqiu ordered Liang Hanyong, who was newly promoted to the tenth general, to lead 2,000 troops from Longhuangdu to Yanzhou to suppress the local area and help Li Xiaochang select troops. He personally led 5,000 infantry and cavalry, traveling day and night, into Yanzhou City.
According to the list provided by Dongfang Kui, one hundred and ten people who were the leaders in causing trouble were arrested.
At this time, following Zhang Yanqiu's order, the executioners transferred from various counties in Yifang fell on the knife almost at the same time, and blood splattered on the field, which was horrific to watch.
Dongfang Kui sighed secretly.
I heard that Shao Shude had a good reputation among the soldiers. I thought that he was a man who would accommodate the sergeants in every possible way, but I didn't expect that he also had such a ruthless side. Even if the stab head has caused trouble, even if it is calmed down later, generally speaking, it cannot be used again. This is a military problem.
This is the consensus of the leaders. Unless, like Wei Bo, the whole town is full of thorns, then there is really no other way but to accommodate the big-headed soldiers.
After the execution, Zhang Yanqiu stood up, looked at some Yanzhou sergeants watching from the outside, and said loudly: "Those who did not participate in the rebellion will be rewarded with a piece of Tibetan brocade. The king of Lingwu County keeps his word, two years is two years, deception
What are you waiting for?"
"Shuofang Feng'an Army guarded Guangwu Liang, Lanzhou in the third year of Guangqi's reign. It lasted for two years and has returned to Xiazhou."
"The Tiande Army guarded Fenglin Pass in Hezhou in the third year of Guangqi's reign and razed the city. They are already on their way back to Xiazhou."
"The Administrative Army, in the third year of Guangqi's reign, guarded Didao, Chang Castle and Dalai Valley in Linzhou, and will soon return to Xiazhou."
"Xinquan Army, which guarded Xinquan Military City and Huining Pass in Huizhou in the third year of Guangqi's reign, has returned to Xiazhou."
Zhang Yanqiu walked among the blood and heads on the ground and said: "The Zhenwu Army will march to Longyou this month to guard Fenglin Pass, flatten the city and guard the Dalai Valley. You can ask the Zhenwu Army
Erlang, are you afraid that Prince Lingwu will break his promise?"
"When you say two years, it means two years! Why doubt it?" Zhang Yanqiu asked angrily.
The sergeants of Fufang were frightened by the blood on the execution ground and did not know how to answer for a while. They silently looked at the sergeants of the Zhenwu Army who were guarding the execution ground.
I was stationed in a foreign country for an extended period of time, so I subconsciously believed it.
Seeing that they were silent, Zhang Yanqiu snorted coldly.
Dongfang Kui is also a waste. He can't be managed by less than eight thousand sergeants, so he will be replaced sooner or later.
This time is actually an opportunity.
The Yifang Army had a total of 8,000 people. Except for the hundred who were beheaded, the rest of the 1,000 rebels, together with their families, were all sent to Helong for farming. Another 3,000 elite troops were picked up and sent to the Jishi Army, leaving only 4,000.
.
The warriors of a feudal town are often the representatives of local interests. Without killing or surrendering them, it is difficult to truly control this place.
The four prefectures of Yifang and Yandan are different from the miserable Fengzhou and Zhenwu armies. They can afford food and pay. The soldiers are well fed and clothed, so naturally they will not surrender easily.
Now half of the people have been taken away, half of them are more capable of fighting. The remaining four thousand will be taken care of slowly while looking for opportunities.
If Dongfang Kui had any brains, he would not recruit any more Yamen troops. Since there were no foreign enemies, four thousand men were enough for him to protect the country and the people.
If the commander-in-chief forms other troops in the future, he will continue to select from these four thousand people, and eventually the Yifang army will be devoured. But without the warriors, what is the difference between Yifang Town and Xingning and Longyou Town? Jiedu envoys and localities
The replacement of officials is not a matter of a word from the commander-in-chief.
Zhang Yanqiu suddenly thought of Xuanwu and Zhu Quanzhong again.
This person currently also has three vassal vassal towns, namely Youguojun, Zhongwujun, and Fengguojun.
Not to mention the Youguo Army (which governs Henan Prefecture) led by Zhang Quanyi, this man is an old cunning man with poor fighting ability, but he is very respectful and good at overcoming strength with softness. Zhu Quanzhong has not thought of touching him for the time being.
The Zhongwu Army (administered by Chen and Xu Erzhou) was originally led by Zhao Ji, but he died of illness and was succeeded by his younger brother Zhao Chang.
The Fengguo army was controlled by Qin Zongquan's tribal generals.
The Zhao brothers were very respectful to Zhu Quanzhong, often sent troops to assist in battles, and even married their children. After years of fighting, the Zhongwu Army's elites suffered heavy losses, and their independence dropped again and again. At this point, if Zhu Quanzhong forced annexation, he would not be able to rebound.
It will be huge.
The Fengguo Army currently has the fallen general Guo Fan as its military envoy, who only governs Caizhou. When Zhu Quanzhong attacked Pu, he also asked Caizhou to send troops. In a few years, if Zhu Quanzhong replaces Guo Fan, the problem will probably not be big.
Even if there is a small rebound, it can be suppressed.
Of course, these are small towns. If it is a big town like Weibo, it will be difficult. If you deliberately consume people, they will not be as easy to talk to as "small families", and they will directly rebel against you.
how?
Everyone is not stupid. We are forced to become your vassal and help you fight in the war, but don't go too far. Everyone knows the purpose of consuming elites, for the final annexation. This involves a dispute over core interests, the town government
The soldiers dare not rebel, but the big towns still dare.
"The commander-in-chief must have thought about annexing Yifang and Yandan Town." Zhang Yanqiu thought to himself: "Dongfang Kui, Li Xiaochang should be able to continue to be commander-in-chief for a few more years, but he betrayed the local soldiers and probably lost his power.
I am disgusted with ghosts, and in the next few years I can only further invest in the commander-in-chief, and accelerate the depletion of the wealth of the two towns. When the situation is ripe, the land of the two towns and four states will fall into the arms of the commander-in-chief."
"I don't know how Fengxiang Town will deal with it in the future. The Fengxiang Army has changed twice in the past few years. The Linzhou and Xinning town soldiers brought by Zhe Zongben have slowly begun to take root in the local area. If time prolongs, most of them will
The tail is too big to fall off."
"Hey, this is Marshal's family matter, why should I worry about it? If I say it, I will offend the Zhe family. Marshal is a sensible person and should be aware of it."
