Chapter 420 The Death of a Hero in Liangshan, the Countdown to the Destruction of the Great Song Dynasty (Subscribe)
Eight hundred miles of water mooring Liangshan!
This water pond, which disappeared due to the diversion of the Yellow River in later generations, has now become a hotbed of life for poor peasants in the Song Dynasty.

Since Zhao Ji ascended the throne, the population here has continued to increase.

From a few thousand refugees, it has expanded to more than 15 people and more than 4 soldiers.

This has become the most troublesome force for local officials.

In the past two years, the Shuibo Liangshan Mountain has undergone even more changes, and Chao Gai, the king of Tota, took the top spot.

This Chao Gai is a personal character. Chao Gai was originally Baozheng and the rich man of the township in Dongxi Village, Yuncheng County, Shandong Province.Because he took the bluestone pagoda and put it down in Dongxi Village, he is known as the King of Tota.

Later, because he conspired with Liu Tang, Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, and Ruan's three heroes to outwit the birth plan, he was chased and killed by the government after the incident, and he had to go to Luocao, Liangshanbo.Because Wang Lun, the owner of Liangshanbo village, was jealous of talent and could not be compatible, Wu Yongzhi encouraged Lin Chonghuo to merge with Wang Lun, and everyone pushed Chao Gai as the owner of the village.

After taking a top position, this guy was unwilling to be bound by the eight hundred miles of water, and began to develop outward.

A year ago, after treating Song Jiang, he became even more powerful.

Song Jiang was also unlucky. This guy was in danger because he wrote an anti-poetry in Xiangyang Tower. Chao Gai and other Liangshan heroes robbed the Jiangzhou court together and rescued Song Jiang and Dai Zong.

With the addition of Song Jiang, the one hundred and eight of Shuibo Liangshan will be quickly formed.

Fang La made rebellions repeatedly and often slaughtered unscrupulous gentry. The officials of the Song Dynasty were heartbroken for their official titles.

The folks in the Song Dynasty were not stable enough, and Zhao Ji was a person who enjoyed extravagance and was greedy for vanity.

With the support of corrupt bureaucrats headed by Dong Guan and Cai Jing, Zhao Ji's "Hua Shi Gang" and "Gen Yue" harmed the vital interests of countless Song people.

Four years of Daguan in the Northern Song Dynasty, 1100 years!
Chao Gai, the Heavenly King of Tuota in Shuibo Liangshan, heard that his fellow villager was oppressed by corrupt officials again. He ate another three catties of beef and drank many catties of Maotai wine purchased by the Spring Breeze Caravan. After some discussion, it was decided to raise a flag.

The flag says "walk the way for the sky".

The banner is to do justice for the heavens, but the things they do are not benevolent at all.

In the name of killing corrupt officials and saving the people, he oppressed goodness, murdered people wantonly, robbed all kinds of livestock, and provided himself with a generous life of eating meat and drinking.

In just half a year, the Shuibo Liangshan generation was made to live in poverty by this group of forces.

Seeing that the Shuibo thieves are becoming more and more powerful, officials from all over central Shandong took a lot of money and used some means to find Gao Taiwei's connections and request to send troops to encircle and suppress them.

Gao Li finally agreed to the officials' request after his wallet was full.

Three months later, the various ministries of the Song Dynasty sent 3 soldiers, claiming [-] to encircle and suppress Shuibo.

Under the command of the Qingzhou Command Division, Qin Ming, known as the Thunderbolt, led the vanguard army of 5000 to launch the attack first.

Thunderbolt Qin Ming has a violent temper. He thinks that the water and Liangshan are all waste, and he doesn't do reconnaissance during the battle, so he plunges into the encirclement of Liangshan.

After fighting for half a day, they returned in a big defeat.

The morale of the Liang Shanshui bandits was greatly boosted, and then they took advantage of the geographical advantage to defeat the Song army that was trying to encircle them.

The [-] troops couldn't get into the water and moored Liangshan, so they not only gave away people, but also sent a large amount of equipment.It's the same as a local tyrant yelling and beating Amen, and then being beaten so hard that he can't find Bei.

The disastrous Song Dynasty was extremely angry, and Zhao Ji also learned about it.

He immediately ordered Gao Taiwei to send troops to encircle and suppress.

Don't look at Gao Qiu who relied on playing football under Zhao Ji's command, but he has a good brain.

With the help of equipment and merchant ships purchased from the Spring Breeze Caravan, this guy managed to win several battles.

However, what Taiwei Gao didn't know was that the reason behind his victory was the impetus of the invisible hand.

The people secretly trained by the Spring Breeze Brigade played a big role.

Gao Taiwei led troops to encircle and suppress Shuibo, and the first battle settled the world.

All forces in the world were surprised when they learned of Gao Taiwei's actions, and Gao Qiu's prestige was established in this way.

And the heroes from all walks of life in Shuibo Liangshan who were defeated in a big defeat are also preparing to overwhelm Bianjing.

They will accept the most severe punishment in Song Dynasty - Ling Chi.

Looking at the imprisoned rebels, Gao Qiu proudly looked at the muskets and cannons in his hands.

Thinking of the martial arts of the bandit Liang, Gao Qiu couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

More than a thousand martial arts master soldiers organized by Shuibo Rebels are very powerful.

Fighting alone, the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty are no match at all.

For example, his old friend Lin Chong, the leopard head, was invulnerable with a burst of qi. If he hadn't been bombarded repeatedly by shells, maybe that family would rush to his front and kill him with his own hands.

And the strength of Lu Zhishen and others is even more terrifying!
By the way, the guy who can cast spells is also very powerful.If Gao Lian hadn't acquired the size of the Spring Breeze Squadron and summoned a Taoist master from Wudang Mountain, the victory or defeat of his own army would have been unpredictable.

In the several days of war, Gao Lian led the troops, relying on the superiority of numbers, and the strafing and bombing of muskets and artillery.

If it weren't for the support of these weapons, they would have ended up defeated and killed.

After half a month of fighting and looting for half a month, Gao Qiu finally controlled Shuibo Liangshan.

Then a total of more than [-] common people were captured.

There are too many people, and Gao Lian doesn't know how to deal with them.

The Song Dynasty ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety.

After fighting for half a month, all the good things in Liangshan were looted, and all the diehards were killed.

How to arrange for the remaining people is really hard to figure out!

Let me introduce the composition of Liangshan forces.

The first people were people who couldn't survive.

The forces represented by powerful heroes joined in for various reasons.They were the second batch of Calais.

The third batch was the people who voluntarily attached themselves to Liangshan as it grew stronger.

Of course, there are still many Liangshanbo people who were coerced.

The Liangshan hero eats meat and drinks, looks very chic, but all this is based on the pain of others.

Many people here do not want to join Liangshan.

Although Gao Lian was greedy, his temperament was not so cruel.

This kind of killing can't stop the attack of political opponents!
After killing the Liangshan bandits, Gao Qiu said that he killed tens of thousands of people because the other party was stubborn.

But if you kill them all, you will definitely be hanged!
You must know that Da Song's favorite thing is to suppress military officers, and they are very afraid of military generals with outstanding military exploits.

Cruel generals will definitely be mobbed and attacked.

Gao Qiu got up because of Zhao Ji's trust, and he was naturally at odds with those civil servants.

If you slaughter all the people yourself, you will definitely be attacked by political enemies.

After thinking about it for a day, I still can't think of a good way to solve this tricky problem.

He had no choice but to give up, and first passed the news of the victory to Bianjing.

After resting for a day, he summoned his counselors to discuss how to properly deal with these rioters.

Some people suggested that all traitors should be slaughtered to deter Xiaoxiao and save food.

Was scolded by Gao Qiu for being insane!

Some people thought of incorporating them into the Xiang army.

"Who will pay for so much money and food?"

It was also suggested that they should be subject to hard labor and deprived of their remaining labor value.

The thing of hard labor makes Gao Qiu very excited.

Just when Gao Qiu was thinking about how he should answer if the officials asked him how to deal with these people, a messenger came in to report.

"Taiwei, someone outside the door begged to see the Taiwei, saying that it can perfectly arrange the aftermath of 10 people!"

Gao Qiu was stunned: "Can you properly accommodate 10 people?"

Gao Qiu immediately became interested. He wanted to see who would dare to say that he could accommodate 10 people.

Soon, Chen Aiguo asked someone to walk in with more than ten large boxes.

After some flattery, Chen Aiguo went straight to the point.

"I heard that Gao Taiwei has a headache and how to deal with the rioters. We just lack people here, so we want to reach a cooperation with Gao Taiwei!"

Gao Qiurao looked at Chen Aiguo with interest, waiting for him to say the conditions.

"I heard that the Taiwei has dealt with tens of thousands of culprits. If the remaining more than [-] people are charged with crimes, they will not deserve to die. Because our factory is not productive enough, we saw someone, so we came to seek cooperation." Chen Aiguo signaled the team members to open the box. .

squeak~
The boxes were opened one by one, and the items in the boxes came into Gao Qiu's eyes.

The sun was shining, and the contents of the box reflected colorful light.

Cases of pearls, cases of aluminum coins, cases of mirrors.

"Gudu~"

Even the well-informed Gao Qiu couldn't help swallowing at this moment.

Gao Qiu's heart, like the blazing sun, began to agitate.

"There are fifty boxes of pearls, 20 coins, and a thousand glass mirrors. They should be able to redeem the lives of more than [-] people. Gao Taiwei, we are going to build a closed factory and a glass mirror in the Song Dynasty. Because of the need for confidentiality, it is best to use prisoners as workers."

"Are you going to build a glazed mirror workshop here?" Gao Qiu looked at Chen Aiguo suspiciously.

Chen Aiguo nodded: "Yes, the colored glaze factory is of great importance, and migrant workers must not be allowed to do it. These prisoners are guilty, so it is most appropriate for them to do this. And to use them to produce colored glaze, we only need to pay half of the salary to obtain labor. It's a great deal."

"Then... how to solve the food, accommodation and food and clothing of the prisoners?"

Gao Lian asked about his scruples.

To be honest, Gao Qiu was moved when he heard that there were still people buying labor.

During these years in the Song Dynasty, it has indeed become better under the changes of the Spring Breeze Caravan.

But this improvement is due to the improvement of the gentry, the improvement of the bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty, and the improvement of the generals.

The wealthy few are not rich!
Common prosperity is!

Because Zhao Ji is a fool, he only cares about eating, drinking, having fun and doing art at the moment, and he doesn't know the changes in the folk.

There were indeed talented people above the Great Song Dynasty who discovered the changes among the people, but these people were either involved in the interests of all parties, or they were in low positions and had no right to speak.

For example, Cai Jing and others have also discovered various problems that have emerged with the increase in productivity among the people, but they don't care.

The improvement of production tools, private productivity, and fiscal and taxation were embraced by them with their chests patted on their chests.

They turned these things into the capital of their official hat.

They think it's all their fault.

It is clear that science is the primary productive force, but the authorities who control the productive forces do not take care of these changes.

With the improvement of productivity, the land annexation among the folks in the Song Dynasty became more intense.

Sheep cannibalism has occurred one after another.

Over the years, Chen Mu's side has selflessly provided them with countless good ideas.It provided epoch-making tools such as steam engines and textile machines.

With the advent of mechanical tools, major changes took place in the life structure of the people in the Song Dynasty.

The once circular relationship in the countryside, because of the flood of industrial products, has begun to readjust the production relationship.

The Great Song Dynasty, which had never experienced an industrial explosion, was influenced by the upper class to form a new bureaucratic capital monopoly represented by the officials of the Great Song Dynasty and the gentry and general class as the core!
Greedy capital can give birth to the most profitable production relations, and it can also destroy the inherent social structure.

The increase in industrial productivity would have allowed the people to live a better life.

But on the Song Dynasty side, the first to suffer were the common people.

The wealth of the Song Dynasty.Only a few are wealthy.

It is not the people who planed food in the land.

Wealth is only concentrated in the hands of a few.

This is also the reason why the Liangshan chaos has a greater impact than in history.

This is also the reason why Gao Qi didn't dare to take the risk of killing so many people.

With the improvement of Da Song's productivity and the increase of grain production, Da Song cheered from top to bottom.

Even Zhao Ji once went to the Taimiao to worship his ancestors.

But the objective fact is that the people no longer need so many farmers to grow food.

Under the guidance of Chen Mu, the upper echelons of the Song Dynasty were still indulging in luxury.

They didn't know that disaster was coming.

Chen Aiguo brought the money to buy the prisoner's labor, like a ray of light lit up Gao Qiu's heart.

He thought of strategies on how to deal with refugees and prisoners.

This strategy will definitely win the support of the top leaders of Song Dynasty!
Hearing Gao Lian's question, Chen Aiguo said with a simple smile: "Please rest assured, Captain, we are responsible for building workshops and dormitories, and we are also responsible for providing food and grass for prisoners. The supervisors are naturally officers and soldiers! The labor income produced by these prisoners can be paid for three times. Seven points!"

Hearing the distribution of Panax notoginseng, Gao Qiu laughed: "Good, great good! This matter can not only perfectly solve the living problems of more than [-] people who have committed crimes, but also provide a lot of tax revenue for the imperial court. This matter is very feasible."

The Spring Breeze Caravan has established a good cooperative relationship with Gao Qiu.

Everyone benefited from each other and made money.

The future of more than [-] common people was sold to the Spring Breeze Caravan by Gao Lian.

In Gao Lian's view, this wave is not a loss!
He didn't kill the rioters, and not only didn't he bear the infamy of killing and brutality, but he also let them survive mercifully.

The surviving people will also allow the local area to obtain a large amount of taxes.

And this method can be replicated and promoted.

There have been a lot of civilian refugees in recent years, and they can force these refugees into the factory.

The news about the Spring Breeze Caravan's money being taken advantage of quickly spread back to Bianjing.

"My dear friends, what do you all think?" Zhao Ji asked after seeing the way the people who had committed crimes were dealt with above.

"Report to the officials, this matter is feasible!" Dong Guan was the first to respond.

While attending this court meeting, he saw a gift from Gao Lian.And what he said was the prospect.

"This is a good thing!" Cai Jing was also bought by Gao Qi.

Seeing that his confidants agreed, Zhao Ji also stroked his beard and nodded: "Then do as Taiwei Gao said!"

It seems to Zhao Ji that if he doesn't kill the rebels, he will gain prestige, and at the same time get a lot of money, he will also get the production workshop of the precious glass mirror.

The glazed mirror is a luxury item, which was in short supply in Song Dynasty.

If Liulijing can establish a workshop in Song Dynasty, they will be able to master these technologies in the future.

It's worth sharing some of the profits with these businessmen!

Great deal for a long time!

Then, the disposal of these common people was quickly passed on to Liang Shanbo.

The people all cheered when they heard the news.

They survived.

The Song Dynasty conspired to punish the nine clans. Although the common people became workers, they could at least save one life.

Moreover, the people of the Spring Breeze Caravan said that as long as they work hard, they can provide food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Seeing the proposal passed, Chen Aiguo showed a confident smile on his face.

The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in the ant's nest.

The demise of the Song Dynasty officially sounded the horn!
This action is to realize the progress of industrialization.

Don't look at them paying dozens of boxes of artificial pearls and tons of aluminum coins, but these things are not worth mentioning to them.

Suppressing Liangshan Po bandits and making them free workers is just the beginning.

They believe that the top management of Song Dynasty will squeeze all the value of the workers.

In the name of justice, it is the dream of capital to obtain the prisoners' wages and wages for free.

Without the supervision of the regulatory system, this operation is a disaster!
People in the Spring Breeze Brigade said in their hearts that the hammer and sickle could be wielded soon, and then they did their best to help the Dai Sin people build houses.

At the end of the fourth year of Daguan in the Northern Song Dynasty, the resettlement of more than [-] anti-thieves in Liangshanbo was carried out in an orderly manner.

After they had enough to eat and drink, the people who had escaped their lives worked very actively.

In just seven days, the temporary shelter was constructed.

Three months later, the Liuli Mirror Factory was established.

In addition to Liuli Workshop, other supporting factories have also been established one after another.

As the factory got on the right track, the common people began to use almost free labor to produce all kinds of industrial supplies.

These industrial supplies were either purchased at high prices by the Spring Breeze Caravan, or were digested internally by Song Dynasty, or sold to neighboring countries.

In this way, Da Song got a lot of money without any effort.

Zhao Ji, who went to the brothel to listen to the music, learned that the [-] criminals had provided him with a lot of money, so he smiled and rewarded Gao Qiu...
