Chapter 748 There is always a need for great wisdom
Author: Middle-aged paper tiger
This turmoil did not cause harm to the newly born Zhou Dynasty.
In the Chang'an Mansion in Jingzhao, Cao Yuanzhong, the dignified ruler of the country, Pingzhang of Guanzhong Province and defense envoy, Duke of Qiao, was almost beaten to death by bandits.
In Luoyang, the capital of the gods, thieves broke into the Ziwei Palace. Concubine Cao Guifei and the prince had no choice but to hide in Jiama Camp. The raging fire burned nearly one-sixth of the area of Luoyang City.
More than 300 houses were burned down, more than 40 people were burned to death, and at least thousands were injured.
As for those who were injured for various reasons, there were countless people. There was also a stampede at the south gate of Luoyang City because they were forced to leave the city, resulting in hundreds of deaths and injuries.
But these are much better than what happened to Jianghuai Province Pingzhang, Prince Consort, and Yuyang County Duke Zhao Kuangzan.
Before Zhang Tingding set the Central Plains, the Forbidden Army of the Later Jin Dynasty had about 30,000 infantry and cavalry, and in the hands of the Jiedushi envoys from various places, there were about 30,000 to 40,000 Jieduzhenya soldiers from various places who were considered elites.
These 60,000 to 70,000 people were the Later Jin Dynasty and the Khitan. To be precise, they gave Shi Chonggui and others the confidence to fight against the Khitan. The 100,000 people that Jing Yanguang mentioned were referring to them.
Their combat effectiveness is indeed not low. They defeated the Khitan Emperor Yelu Deguang twice and became disgraced, leaving him with a reputation as the Camel God of War.
After Du Chongwei shamelessly knelt down by the Hutuo River, Yelu Deguang certainly didn't take kindly to the sharpening of swords by these later Jin Dynasties, and even prepared to drive these people into the Yellow River and drown them.
Therefore, after Zhang Zhi took control of Tokyo, the army of the Later Jin Dynasty, which had experienced the torment of the Khitans and the battle of Luoyang, only had more than 20,000 people left.
Zhang Gao selected seven thousand elite soldiers to form the Left and Right Divine Guards, which were later reorganized into the personal army of the Left and Right Divine Guards.
Among the remaining people, some became garrison troops, and some were directly cleared.
But there were also fish that slipped through the net. This fish that slipped through the net was the Xuzhou Wuning Army once commanded by Hu Cile.
First, their essence was taken away by tiger thorns on the Hutuo River. Later, after entering the Southern Tang Dynasty, they were strengthened with armor and personnel.
When Zhang Gao conquered Huainan, Hu Guang entered Xuzhou alone and surrendered them without any bloodshed.
In order to have a stable rear so that he could severely attack the Southern Tang Dynasty, which was still relatively prosperous at that time, Zhang Gao did not choose to reorganize the Wuning Army on a large scale.
Since then, the position of military governor of Xuzhou Wuning has been replaced quite frequently.
First Hu Guang acted as agent for two months, then Ma Zhaoyuan took charge for less than three months, and then Guo Wei took office for more than a month.
After Guo Wei left, the Wuning Army, which had been reorganized into the Forbidden Army in Wuning Town, did not even have a superior officer in charge. Fu Yanqing's eldest son Fu Zhaoxu served as the commander and barely managed it for half a year until Zhao Kuangzan officially took office.
It can be said that whether they are called Wuning Town or Wuning Army, this group of soldiers is the last remnant of the Jiedu Ya soldiers from the Tang and Five Dynasties in the entire Zhangzhou territory.
To say that in order to eliminate the Five Dynasties, I, Zhang Shengren, constantly suppressed the superiors. The tooth soldiers tied up the tooth generals, the tooth generals tied up the commander-in-chief, and the commander-in-chief threatened the emperor. This is because I have put in a lot of effort from all aspects.
They respected loyalty, were willing to give money and land, changed the military system three times, and continued to deceive them with the high-level claims of being loyal and courageous for the country and resisting foreign humiliation. It can be said that they used unprecedented strength.
The effect is certainly good. Since Zhang Jie established the Central Plains, there has not been a single turmoil such as a mutiny among the Ya soldiers.
There is no way, this emperor is too good at playing, and he has resorted to using 'physics' to reason with his simple thinking, which makes him a bit stupid and stupid. Even if he is tied together, it is not enough for the emperor to plan.
However, it would be false to say that no one resented Zhang Yan for this.
In this world, if there are ordinary people who hope to live a stable life, there must be violent maniacs with dark hearts and even perversions.
If they don't touch the handle of a knife for a day, it feels like they have lost their souls. If they don't make noises and cause trouble, it feels like their time is wasted.
And what’s even more tragic is that there were quite a lot of these people in the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. It can be said that they caught a lot of them.
Therefore, in Zhang Zhou, from the commander-in-chief who lost his position as the earth emperor, to the tooth soldiers who could kill people with knives when they were unhappy, the people who resented Emperor Zhang could not say that they did not have it, they could only say that they had a lot of fighting capacity.
Under this circumstance, the Wuning Army in Xuzhou, which was a basic retained organization and had not been cleaned up by Yelu Deguang and Zhang Zhi alone, became the biggest place for harboring dirt and evil.
A large number of perverts who were expelled by Zhang Zhi and liked to lick blood from the edge of a knife all went to Xuzhou.
At the same time, the too frequent transfers of the first-level officers of the festival also gave them room to continue to unite.
Zhao Kuangzan was able to drive away the Huaibei thief Li Renshu from the position of commander-in-chief of Wuning Town in Pingzhang, Jianghuai Province, because Wuning Town and the Huaibei thief Li Renshu had conflicts of interest.
If Li Renshu is driven away, the countryside controlled by Li Renshu will become a place for Wuning Town to make money.
From here, although they are called the Forbidden Army Wuning Town, they are actually still the Wuning Army.
Zhang Yan really didn't know this very well. If he did, he would have waited until Liu Zaisheng recovered from his illness, then directly brought a town to Wuning Town to change the defenses, and then clean it thoroughly.
Instead of letting Zhao Kuangzan take office directly with only more than 300 songs.
Although Princess Baoding claimed that Qiwan was not his biological daughter, and Zhao Kuangzan was not his biological son-in-law, Zhang Yan was not Li Shiji and had no interest in cheating his son-in-law.
But something went wrong and Zhao Kuangzan suffered a tragedy.
Just when turmoil broke out in Chang'an and Luoyang, the four doors of Zhao Kuangzan's Pingzhang Yamen were tightly closed, surrounded by soldiers holding guns and swords. Inside the Yamen, the smell of blood had not yet dissipated.
Zhao Kuangzan's troops had just put up the fiercest resistance, but the people who came were not only tough, but there were also moles among them. After paying the price of more than thirty people dying in battle, they were all tied up.
Zhao Kuangzan was very calm, and he was not tied up, because these people were not here to kill him, but to support him.
However, when he saw Wang Jun, Zhao Kuangzan couldn't help but sigh: "Father is still too kind. He took the big town of Hedong into Taiyuan without killing anyone. In the end, he was despised by those who were interested."
Wang Jun was the mastermind of Liu Zhiyuan back then. He also went to Tokyo on behalf of Liu Zhiyuan and was received by Yelu Deguang.
After Zhang Tie settled in Taiyuan, he only killed Su Fengji and others who had a notorious reputation, and only punished Wang Jun and others by confiscating their family property.
Wang Jun had a slight look of shame on his face, but he immediately disappeared and said, "Gong Zhao is a nobleman of the imperial family and the consort of the new dynasty, and he is very popular.
Nowadays, there are treacherous ministers in the imperial court who are causing trouble, and the sky is dark. My servants have come to ask you to come with me to the capital to Qingjun's side."
Zhao Kuangzan looked at Wang Jun and nodded as if he had a sudden realization, "It seems that you, Wang Xiufeng, are the one connecting in the middle. I said that all the idiots in the world have gathered together. It turns out that there is an ambitious person who is not so stupid.
Pushing them towards the execution ground."
Saying that, Zhao Kuangzan thought for a moment, "If someone's guess is correct, Weizhou Zhao Zaili, Weizhou Liu Jixun, Huazhou Song Yanyun, and Liu Chengyou's idiot uncle Li Ye should have all boarded your pirate ship.
"
Wang Jun put his hands on his hands and laughed, "In addition to them, there are also important figures among the ministers of Helong who are with us.
Among the pure ministers of the past, Xue Huairang, Pan Huan and others were tens of thousands of enemies. They even recruited subordinates and held high the banner of righteousness.
From Jiangling to Khitan, the major Buddhist sects are also taking action with us. Meng Shu, Ma Chu, old ministers of Nanping, and Xiao Rui of the Southern Tang Dynasty have also taken action.
Mr. Zhao, the whole world has rebelled, and we are in need of someone with authority to take the lead."
Zhao Kuangzan's expression suddenly changed. These people Wang Jun mentioned were indeed likely to rebel.
"With such a huge momentum, is Hedong Hou Yi involved? If he is also involved, then he will never participate."
Wang Jun was stunned for a moment. He really didn't remember that Hou Yi and Zhao Kuangzan had any disputes. He thought that Zhao Kuangzan was a little moved, so he said.
"Hou Yi is old and has long lost his former bravery. He actually wants to be a rich man in Tokyo. It is really a shame for the warriors of Hedong."
"Hahahaha!" Zhao Kuangzan laughed loudly.
"Hou Yi, an old guy, had a reputation for loyalty and bravery all over the world when he was young, but as he gets older, he is used to watching people's actions and making decisions according to the wind.
Now that he is in Tokyo but has not participated, I think he is very dissatisfied with you Wang Xiufeng. Hahaha, don't worry, you guys can't make it happen."
When Wang Jun heard this, his face was so dark that he could shed tears. Hou Yi not only did not join them in making trouble, but even went to report it secretly.
Wang Jun's first choice was to kidnap Li Congyi, Duke of Jinyang County, because he was the son of the Mingmiao Emperor of the later dynasty.
However, due to Hou Yi's informant, they had to flee in panic and chose Zhao Kuangzan, the grandson of Emperor Mingmiao.
What's more, what makes Wang Jun feel even more humiliated is that this news was deceived by Zhao Kuangzan, which really makes him have the urge to kill.
"Wang Xiufeng! Now that the Holy Emperor is on the throne, people from all over the world are convinced, and the people are at peace. How stupid are you to choose to start an uprising at this moment?
From the perspective of a certain family, you are not leading these idiots to start a rebellion, but you are helping the emperor to get rid of the rebellious officials and traitors with second thoughts! If I were the father, I would definitely not kill you, but would like to thank you."
What Zhao Kuangzan said was true. He really couldn't understand that the emperor was so famous that even the Tubo people on the plateau and the fortune tellers on the grasslands knelt down. He had tens of thousands of Helong elites under his command.
Not to mention others, it was his uncle Murong Nobunaga, Prince of Liaoyang County, Yan Jin, Duke of Jin, Li Cunhui, Duke of Su, Bai Congxin, Duke of Qiuci County. No matter who came forward, these people could not resist them. How dare they come out?
Rebel?
It has to be said that Prince Consort Zhao has little knowledge.
Not to mention that only those who dared to rebel after Zhang Yan fled outside the Great Wall, during the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xiaochang, the king of Yi'an, Liu Deyu, the general of the Youwu Guard, and Sun Anye, the general of the Zuomen Supervisor, still dared to rebel.
During the period of Zhu Qizhen, Cao Jixiang was an eunuch, and he wanted to rebel and become the emperor.
It’s a republic in the 20th century, and there are still people proclaiming themselves emperors in the mountains and valleys, and even issuing decrees to Chang Kaishen on Frog Island.
Compared with these "cool people", Wang Jun and others had to wait a little longer to rebel.
