Song Mingyue

Chapter 85
Zhao Hao's mood at this moment cannot be expressed in a thousand words, but can only be described in two words: bewildered.

He never expected that his nonsense to his mother would become a prophecy, and it was so miraculous that what he just made up last night would come true today.

What makes him depressed is that the Fang La uprising in history was two years later, but now it is two years ahead of schedule. The change in the wheel of history must be due to his own birth, and the intersection with Fang La, thus changing history.

After Fang La tried to coerce her to join the group but was rejected that day, she was worried that the time would be too long and the night would be long and dreamy, and something would happen, so she launched an attack in advance.

But the most troublesome thing is that now he has fallen into a dilemma, Hangzhou city can't go back, there is Fang La's Mingjiao uprising army in front, there are wolves in front and tigers in back, he is at a loss as to what to do.

However, even if Wu Song hadn't been involved, Hangzhou City would still be looking for death when going back. In history, Fang La's army broke through Hangzhou, killing Chen Jian, envoy of Liangzhe Road, Zhao Yue, envoy of Lian Fang, and Zhao Ting, Zhizhou, and fled.The long-standing grievances captured officials in Hangzhou, excavated the tomb of Cai Jing's father and grandfather, and exposed his bones.As the son of the Great Song clan, I am afraid that it will be difficult to avoid disasters.

In desperation, Zhao Hao gritted his teeth and made up his mind to continue heading north.

Judging from the time, when I and my mother went south from Jiangning, they had not heard the news of the rebellion. It should not have been more than 20 days since the Fang La uprising. If calculated according to the historical process, the main force should still be there It will take at least half a month to fight against Guo Shizhong, who is known as the third general in the southeast of the Song Dynasty, "Bingguansuo" in Shezhou. It will take at least half a month to get to Hangzhou. As long as my group leaves Hangzhou within ten days, they should be able to secure It's safe and sound.

As for the traitors everywhere that the official said, it should not be Fang La's main force, but some scattered soldiers who are not stopped. All of my party are cavalry, and there are strong generals like Wu Song and Zhao Dian in the formation. It is no problem to break through. of.

And Xie Yun on the side was even more astonished, originally thought that his son was just talking nonsense, but who knew that it came true not long after he left the city, so he obeyed his son's decision-making.

**************
In November of the lunar calendar in 1118 AD, Fang La coerced Zhao Hao to join the gang and failed, and was worried that the plan would be leaked and would be arrested by the government and army. Therefore, Fang La launched the uprising ahead of time, a full two years earlier than in history.

"Nowadays taxes and duties are heavy, officials invade fishing, farming and mulberry are not enough to supply, and the lacquer bamboo and fungus that we rely on for our lives, and we know that there is no money left behind. Husbands are born to support the people, and the tree's shepherd is originally to support the people; It is so tyrannical! How can the heart of heaven and man be free from resentment? In addition to spending money on sex, appearance, dogs and horses, civil engineering, prayer temples, armored soldiers, flowers and stones, millions of silver and silk were bribed to the two captives in the northwest every year. Also. The two captives have gained this, and they have lightened China, and they have been invading every year. The imperial court did not dare to abolish it, and the prime minister thought it was a long-term strategy to secure the border. Only my people work hard all the year round, and my wife is cold and starved. I can’t get enough food for a day... "

Fang La pretended to "get the talisman", with Mingjiao believers as the main body and Bangyuandong as the base, gathered poor peasants, and called for an uprising under the name of "Zhu Zhuying and Qingyao Fu".

Fang La claimed to be Shenggong, Jianyuan Yongle, the eldest son Fang Shu was the eldest prince, the second son Fang Hao was the second prince, his wife Qiu was the queen, Fang Fei was appointed as the prime minister, Fang Qifo was appointed as the general of soldiers and horses, Wang Gonglao Buddha is the military adviser, and the rest Fang Baihua, Fang Wuxianggong, Chen Kuutong, Zheng Mowang and others are all generals, and even Daoist Aoki is also a general protecting the country.

The rest of the people were divided into six ranks, with six-color headscarves as the distinction. Ordinary soldiers wore red headscarves, while purple headscarves were the highest rank, followed by blue, and then blue, green, yellow, red...

The ambitious Fang La vowed to "determine Jiangnan within half a year", "but plan the river and guard it, lightly pay and pay less", and "will be unified within ten years". His goal is very firm, that is, to win Zhao Song replaced it.

Although the goal is lofty and the slogan is extremely just and awe-inspiring, the process is very disgraceful.

Most of the people are still content with peace and are unwilling to rebel. The rebel army incited each other with secret and unpredictable things like ghosts and gods, and bewitched the people to join the gang. Although there was a certain effect, the effect was not great.

The real way to win over the people to revolt is coercion.The rebel army suddenly lost the fear of the king's law, and many people became thugs. They rioted everywhere, burned, killed and looted, and forced the people to join the gang.But those who do not follow will have their families ruined, and if they join the group, they can divide the land, money, and women. Under this kind of coercion and temptation, many people who do not want to revolt are also forced to join the group.

The thugs of the so-called rebel army rushed into the homes of the landlords and wealthy gentry, slaughtered wantonly to vent their anger, robbed gold and silk, and set fire to the houses. All the men in the family were slaughtered to death.

At this time, the uprising army was not so much to vent their dissatisfaction with the oppression of the government, but to show the ugly side of human nature nakedly.

In less than ten days, Fang La gathered 5 to [-] soldiers and horses, and robbed countless money and food. Then, as in history, he set up an ambush in the pit and defeated [-] Song troops. Among them, Fang Qifo charged single-handedly , forcibly broke through the heavy guards of the Song army, beheaded Song generals Cai Zun and Yan Tan, and won a complete victory.

In the entire Jiangnan area, wars were raging everywhere, and rebel armies everywhere moved upon hearing the wind, sweeping half of the Song Dynasty.

……

Zhao Hao and his party drove their chariots and horses and meandered northward. Sure enough, as Zhao Hao expected, although there were constant thieves along the way, many villages were full of shouts and cries, but they rarely encountered large groups of people. The soldiers and horses are all stragglers with less than a hundred men, looting money and food everywhere.

The ostentation of their party was obviously that of a wealthy family, and naturally they brought a lot of money, which attracted the attention of many thieves along the way.It's just twenty or thirty burly guards with horses and sabers, not everyone dares to move.Those scattered troops, even with hundreds of soldiers and horses, have no armor and bows and arrows. Most of them hold sticks, hoes, hatchets and other weapons in their hands. They are all infantry, and most of them have never experienced fighting. , although ready to move, but few dare to do it, most choose to retreat.

Occasionally, Wu Song met some people who were not afraid of death, and Wu Song raised his sword and rode his horse to charge away. Each of them rushed into a group of peasants wearing commoner clothes and straw sandals, holding a hatchet, and they didn't even have a formation. Like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, he beheaded the leader of the rebel army with one or two swords, and they dispersed in an instant.

In this way, everyone carefully walked along the official road, and after seven or eight days, they finally arrived at the boundary of Anxi Town in the north of Hangzhou.

Looking at the houses and tile houses in Anxi Town from a distance, everyone cheered, and they were about to gallop over quickly and enter the town to rest.

"Slow down!" Wu Song ordered suddenly.

A group of black shadows emerged in the distance, running towards this side.

The black shadow became clearer and clearer, and gradually five or six riders could be seen closely chasing the one in front.

The black shadow was getting closer and closer. With good eyesight, one could see that the person in the front was wearing red clothes, which should be a woman. The pursuers behind were dressed in different clothes, but they were all wrapped in various turbans.

"It's the rebels!" Someone exclaimed.

"Kill!" Wu Song waved his long knife, lifted the reins, and rushed over fiercely.

After chasing and fleeing from the other side, they were 200 meters away from Zhao Hao and the others in a blink of an eye. The pursuers saw Wu Song driving the horse, and the speed of the horse slowed down a little.

The leader, wearing a green turban, seemed to have a high status in the rebel army. Seeing that the person who came was extremely tall and sturdy, he felt a little trembling in his heart, but he forced himself to shout loudly: " Who is coming, dare to fight against the Shenggong Heavenly Soldiers?"

Wu Song snorted coldly, galloped his horse forward, raised the Jiedao in his hand high, a cold light flashed in the air, and slashed viciously at the green turban.

That green hat... the green turban leader couldn't help being furious, and turned around and shouted: "Siege and kill him!"

The rest of the Wuqi rebels were all wrapped in yellow turbans. Obviously, their status among the rebels was not low. Seeing Wu Song's rudeness, they drew their waist knives and besieged Wu Song one after another.

Zhao Dun was afraid that Wu Song would suffer a loss if he was alone, so he also went up to meet him.

There is no suspense in the ending, Wu Song killed four people alone, Zhao Dian killed two people, and within half a stick of incense, he had already killed the Liuqi rebels completely, and the green hat was even slain by Wu Song.

The terrified girl in red was brought in front of Zhao Hao, knelt down on the ground with a thud, said only a few words, "I beg my benefactor to save my whole family..." and passed out.
