Chapter 133 Wilderness (1)

"This is called "rude," said Song Jiu.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Zhao Kuangyi hurriedly summoned the yamen runners, and Song Jiu also left Kaifeng Prefecture and ran northwest. It was not a joke. I used to remember that the Song Dynasty was very conservative, but I didn’t understand what was written in the fictional novel. I came to the Song Dynasty and realized that it was indeed not so conservative. I could only say that I was a little restrained. For example, the outside of the summer clothes was a layer of light silk, which was very thin, no less than that of the thin and translucent clothes, and a bright bust inside. But in order to cover up, some people started to wear some mattresses, that is, a small light jacket, which played a role in covering shame, otherwise the exposed area was too large.

That's it.

Even Song Jiu hasn't seen a woman with foot binding, all of whom are naturally beautiful big feet.

However, everyone has a love for beauty, including the old lady on the roadside who is still wearing flowers on her head, beating drums on the street and singing songs, attracting elegant laughter from passers-by. Some brave women also made public dates, which made the moon rise to the willows. After the appointment was made at dusk, when the man suddenly looked back, the man waited for beautiful sentences in the dim lights.

Some young couples have a good relationship and openly hold hands to take a walk on the street.

It is precisely this kind of trend that Pan Lian'er has the courage to question him. Relatively speaking, the Pan family has a strict family style, and some wives are even more courageous.

Wang Jixun and a group of yamen snatched beautiful ladies would not have been able to snatch the river. One was northwest and the other was southeast. It was not a shock to the capital, but a shock to the whole country. However, who do these soldiers recruited from all over the place know? They don’t know them either. What is beauty? It’s seven parts dressed up and three parts natural. If Pan Lian'er becomes a beggar, can she still be called beauty?

Thinking of this, he hurried to Pan Mansion and made an appointment with Pan Weide brothers to ask about the situation.

Pan Weide shook his head: "The uncle is so chaotic. There are many noble people in Xicheng District, and his subordinates do not ask any questions. If you rob them, your Majesty will definitely punish him severely this time."

It seems that Pan Lian'er has not been harmed, otherwise Pan Weide would not be so calm. But one or two women from noble families must have been harmed, which aroused public outrage and reported it to Zhao Kuangyin.

I talked to the two brothers for a while and went home.

He simply delayed for two days to see how Zhao Kuangyin handled the matter. The handling was quickly done. Kaifeng Prefecture and the imperial guards rushed away and captured and killed more than 100 people. Yan Chenghan, the little yellow sect who was in charge of the matter, knew that he would not report it. He had dozens of sticks, and Wang Jixun was demoted to the left-right envoy.

After hearing this, Song Jiu shook his head. This kind of treatment must be bad, but it is a good thing for him.

Finally left the capital.

Song Jiu's identity is getting more and more expensive, and this time he sent him away more. He sent him to Nanxun Gate. Song Jiu said, "Please go back, I'll go down and walk, and I'll be back soon."

"This is a good job. I want to go too," Fu Zhaoshou said.

"Don't go. If there were no guards, going to Bashu at this time might not be a good thing." Song Jiu said cautiously.

Suddenly he raised his head and saw a carriage stopping by the roadside. Pan Lian'er walked out of the carriage, stroked his chest with his hands, and made a gesture. But his movements were very straightforward. While everyone was not paying attention, he immediately got on the carriage. Before the carriage left, he was sitting in the carriage looking through the curtain.

Song Jiu raised his hand at her, and then said to Gao Qiong and Ge Ba: "Let's go."

...

"There is Niuzhishui (note). After this water, twenty miles southward is Panshi County. You either go south to Panshi County for a short night or set up camp here. You can also see how the people can make gold. Get off early tomorrow morning and head to Zizhou City." The little official who accompanied Song Jiu said.

This job is still very hard.

When Song Jiu thought that there were two Ge Gao, plus thirty light cavalry, it would be fine to come to Bashu.

Before coming, I inquired about the news that two forces, one of which was Lu Jia. After being defeated, he compressed into the Yazhou area and could not run westward. To the west was the Dadu River, and to the west was the residential areas of the Qiang and Tubo people.

The second force was strong in the entire army, and it was compressed to the vicinity of Jintang County, Jianzhou, northeast of Yizhou, and defended according to danger, and could only defend, but not counterattack.

But after passing Jianmen, I realized how wrong my thoughts were.

All Shixiong rebelled, Qiong, Shu, Mei, Ling, Jian, Ya, Jia, Dongchuan, Guo, Sui, Yu, He, Zi, Chang, Pu, Rong, Rong, that is, more than 90% of the areas around Yizhou had people or defeated soldiers involved in the rebellion.

All Shixiong gathered his troops together, and was invincible all the way. He defeated the Song army many times and quickly arrived in Xinfan. At this time, he was only twenty miles away from Yizhou. Fortunately, Liu Guangyi and Cao Bin led the troops to defeat him, and All Shixiong retreated slightly. At this time, Wang Quanbin and Wang Renshan raised the courage to lead the army to attack. All Shixiong was defeated and left Guankou Village. The disciples scattered the Baozhou County.

In other words, these dozen states and the Song Dynasty still did not recover.

Originally, the defeat of the entire Shixiong again was a great opportunity to annihilate the enemy, but due to uneven distribution of spoils and disputes arose, Lu Han and his subordinates rebelled. Han Chongyun did not say much, and he only let Song Jiu understand a rough idea, and there was no need to say it.

In fact, the scale of this rebellion was even worse than Song Jiu imagined.

First, Lu Han rebelled, and Wang Quanbin did something wrong in both Sichuan. Not only did the people of Sichuan hate him, but they were nepotism and the sharing of spoils, and they also accumulated a lot of hatred in the Song army. Seeing Lu Han rebelled, Wu Guan, the commander of the military academy, responded to Sun Jin, and killed the governor of the prefect Wu Huaijie and the chief supervisor Liu Hanqing, and deployed Liu Ze with Quan Shixiong, and quickly reached 50,000 troops. Then he divided the troops of Zizhou and Puzhou, drove away the governor of Puzhou, Liu Chuxin, and killed the governor of Tongzong Liu Yi. Guozhou Captain Song Dewei and commander Feng Shaowen also killed the governor of Guozhou Wang Yongtu and Tongzong Liu Huan, and there was also Suizhou Ya general Wang Keliao. Because he had few troops in his hands, he forced the people of the prefecture to serve as soldiers and participated in the chaos.

Cao Bin had to return, but it was Cao Han who personally directed the battle. This man was a famous butcher in the history of the Song Dynasty. In the Jiazhou battle, he killed tens of thousands of people. Lu Han's power declined and fled to Yazhou to protect himself.

But it is not possible to control other areas except these two places. Because Lu Yuqing was in charge near Yizhou, his vitality gradually regained his vitality. The other prefectures and counties were in chaos. The Song army was still in conflict, the Song army that continued to be dissatisfied, the rebellious Song army, the armed forces of the entire Shixiong, and the rebellious forces that responded to the actual situation of the entire Shixiong to fight, all the people and the fleeing, and a large number of refugees who were both people and bandits. The people's self-protection power should not be underestimated.

The two most troubles were the two times. Once, a rebellious force was under the banner of the entire Shixiong. He gathered people to attack Jianzhou Prefecture City. The governor Zhang Renqian said that he was sick and dared not fight. He was preparing to abandon the city and escape. The magistrate Dong Shu did not agree and led his troops to take the initiative to fight, defeat him, and recruited hundreds of surrendered soldiers. Zhang Renqian felt ashamed and deliberately got Dong Shu drunk and killed hundreds of surrendered soldiers. He slandered Dong Shuyin and slandered Dong Shuyin and wrote a letter to the court. The envoy happened to pass through Jianzhou and return to the capital. He issued an edict to the Censorate to interrogate him and demoted him to the coaching envoy of Songzhou.

Another group of bandits gathered to attack Meizhou. The governor Zhao Yanjin did not understand military affairs. He only saw that the other party did not know that there were tens of thousands of refugees. He did not know that they were actually a mob. He only had hundreds of soldiers in his hands. He couldn't win and wanted to escape to Jiazhou for refuge. The magistrate Duan Sigong opened the official treasury and used official treasury as a reward. So the troops fought bravely and repelled the refugees. Duan Sigong was successful, and some people were jealous and said that he was a prison to punish him. Zhao Kuangyin did not agree, but instead replaced Zhao Yanjin as the governor.

In fact, these sieges and lands have nothing to do with the entire army and hero. They are all spontaneous organizations of refugees.

Song Jiu left the sword gate and heard it. He had to be careful.

Ge Ba and Gao Qiong are brave, but they don’t really fight ten thousand. If thousands of refugees are surrounded, they will even chew off all the bones. But when they get here, there is no way, at least they have to go to Yizhou. Only then can I agree that I have seen it and can’t figure out a way. Mr. Lu, you have a high position and a powerful official in the Song Dynasty, so you should think about it. You can only go around in circles. Fortunately, the Puzhou line will be opened to Kang Yanze.

Wang Quanbin was unhappy and asked Kang Yanze to take over Puzhou for only 100 people. This was also the base area of ​​Quanshixiong. The rebels alone reached tens of thousands. Wang Quanbin intended to use the sword of the rebels to kill Kang Yanze. However, Kang Yanze had his own way. When he arrived in Jianzhou, Quanshixiong was defeated twice, and many of his subordinates fled. Kang Yanze recruited them and promised that they were not guilty, but they had to commit crimes and make meritorious service and would not be investigated again. He obtained more than a thousand deceased rebels and taught them the battle formation.

Then he drove to Puzhou. Liu Ze of Puzhou didn't care about it. He only had 1,100 people, and 1,000 people were strictly his subordinates, so he asked his general Shen Diao to lead 5,000 people to fight. He was defeated by Kang Yanze. In addition to beheading more than 100 leaders, the rest were released and used to support him with prestige. He also recruited 3,000 rebels and refugees. He organized and advanced to Suizhou. At this time, the city of the prefecture was burned and Kang Yanze set up a siege on the mountain to consolidate his own grain in Suizhou.

Liu Ze was so panicked that he personally led 30,000 people to fight, but was defeated. Kang Yanze then advanced to Puzhou. Under the situation, Liu Ze led his remaining soldiers and defeated generals to surrender to Puzhou.

Otherwise, Song Jiu would most likely not be able to reach Yizhou.

"Jiang Wenshu, where are you from?"

"Reported to the inspector, I am from Yizhou. I am not disgusted by Gong Lu, and I recruited the common people as documents."

Generally, clerks are divided into five categories: clerks, judicial criminals, criminal prisoners, accountants, warehouse treasury officials, and supervisors. They can be divided into dozens of types. The last four types are sufficient, but if they are not done well, they will bear the relevant responsibilities. Only clerks can have less responsibilities, and they can also get some oil and water, and even gain the trust of officials. When the recommendation is carried out, some officials may turn into officials. This is the most expensive minor official.

After Song Jiu arrived in Puzhou, although Yizhou was safe, the most chaotic area in the surrounding area was still in Yizhou. Lu Yuqing was afraid of an accident, so he asked the minor official to go to Puzhou to welcome Song Jiu in person.

"How many prefectures can the imperial court control now?"

"Apart from Yazhou, you can basically control it."

“I’m talking about real control.”

"Then, maybe Hanzhong will really control it."

"Not even Yizhou can do it?"

"Yizhou... Inspector, you will know when you go to Yizhou and ask Mr. Lu."

"I see."

Song Jiu said, looking at the Niuzhishui beside him. A river that was not very wide originated from the vast mountains in the distance. Some thin gold may appear in those mountains. With the mountain torrent, some gold sand was washed into the water.

The output is not very large, and only a few people are desperate to come to find gold. Try their luck and occasionally get very small gold sand, which is as small as bran shavings, so it is called bran gold. However, this place is not too far from Yizhou and belongs to the core area of ​​Bashu.

But because of the war, I couldn't see a village everywhere, just like I was in the vast and uninhabited Cangshan ridges south of Jinghu.

"Where are the gold diggers?"

"Not far away, just a few miles ahead, there is a small grass market and a wine shop. You can eat and camp."

"Walk."

The group headed west.
