Meanwhile, the three guards have set out for the borders of Jinghu South and Jiangnan, where they will be stationed to suppress all reactionary forces.
These were Gu Yuanbai's original words.
The Supervision Office and the Dongling Guards secretly transported the food purchased on a large scale in batches to the garrison, reserving it for when the people fled to the border afterward. The general of a group of garrison troops exclaimed, "His Holiness has thought of everything."
The captain of the Dong Ling Guards said calmly, "The Holy Lord will leave these to the general, and the people who fled over, please ask the general to aid them as well."
"Don't worry," the general said, "we will do what the saint commands."
Donglingwei and the Office of Supervision of the people still need to stay in these two places to secretly guide the people to escape, the war will be bloodshed, but under the power of the innocent people to be able to less casualties one less casualties one.
Xu Xiongyuan said to send troops to rob grain, then really send troops to rob grain. He wanted to even nearby several counties within the people's food to rob, but Liu Yan and Zhao Zhou strongly prevented, so that one is the rear of the uncertainty, is the army taboo, the second is the people's homes are not very food, the army is just a waste of force.
Xu Xiongyuan listened to it, so he led five thousand elite soldiers, fast horseback for half a day, and surrounded the Chen House in Huaihua Province in one fell swoop.
Chen Fu was stunned, and Chen Jin Yin, who was holding a good piece of jade and admiring it, was also stunned.
What is this? They were actually surrounded by rebel forces one day?
Chen Jingyin hadn't realized what this represented yet, he was filled with rage and directly dropped the good jade in his hand to shatter on the ground, "I'd like to see who dares to touch my Chen Family!"
Starving, green-eyed soldiers with no food to eat, they dare to move.
Xu Xiongyuan gave an order, the black soldiers rushed into the Chen residence like locusts in an instant, killing the servants who met resistance, and hugging the beautiful women when they met them.
The things of value were desperately loaded onto themselves, hacking and slashing their way to the inner courtyard like nobody's business.
They were like vicious ghosts who killed without blinking an eye, all of them had been dazzled by the carved beams and painted buildings, the extravagant and luxurious Chen Mansion, and all they could see in their eyes was gold, silver, grain and women, the corpses were lying on the ground, and the blood became a river, Xu Xu Xiongyuan was sitting on the back of his horse letting out a big laugh, he was satisfied beyond measure with the valor and ruthlessness of his soldiers and horses, and he kept on roaring: ''All of them were killed! Not a single one of them will be released! Catch the pretty girls and reward them to you, see how much food this Chen family has, is it enough for us to eat!"
This is a military disaster.
Robbing and killing at the same time, and setting a fire afterward.
Chen Jin Yin and his sons were escorted out of the inner courtyard in a hurry on their feet, and the soldiers saw them, greed flooding their eyes.
This greedy gaze was fixated on the real gold and silver they were carrying, and raised his arm to murder them.
Chen Jin Yin screamed in shock, "I have money! I'll give you money and food and whatever you want, as long as you don't kill me!"
The soldier disdained, "If I kill you these things will all be the general's, and I need you to give them?"
When you're a soldier in the court, you have to obey the law, but when you're a rebel, how can you follow the law? Since ancient times, the leader of the rebellion, which has not condoned the people under the hand to make a military disaster!
The fire was so intense and the mourning was so great that the officials ran away from Huaihua House in a hurry.
Xu Xiongyuan breathed in the smell of blood on the tip of his nose and looked at the fire that was burning so hot that it was about to lick up into the clouds, and many, many people were struggling under the flames and machetes, and when he looked at such a fire, it was as if he was looking at his own great cause burning brightly.
Between shouting and fighting, Xu Xiong Yuan realized that this Chen Mansion was nice, and it was a pity to burn them all, so he shouted, "Just burn the courtyard on the west side, and leave the rest for me! This general is going to move the stronghold of the A-Shen Society to this place tonight, hahahaha."
Chen Fu suffered a disaster, Huaihua Province in the other powerful naturally can not wait, under the interests of the relevant, several parties with domestic servants rushed to the Chen Fu and go.
When they arrived, the rebels in the entire Chen Mansion were in the midst of a carnival, and there was pandemonium everywhere, the sky was black with smoke. The hearts of the various magnates stared, feeling that Chen Jingyin was not well.
This family of magnates died just like that, and the remaining benefits were all divided up by the rebels, which was just like snatching food from their group of old men. The faces of several powerful men were very unhappy. Xu Xiongyuan looked at this large group of people rushed over, looked at their hands holding hoes axes kitchen knives, can not help but laugh.
This was followed by a red glare in his eyes.
Within just a few days, Xu Xiongyuan killed the magnates up and down Huaihua Province who didn't take the initiative to offer military pay, without mercy, and blood stained the entire Huaihua Province, completely turning this place into their own base camp.
The people of Huaihua Province, on the other hand, had long since followed after the officials had fled.
Almost immediately after Xu Xiongyuan had stepped on the magnates in Huaihua Prefecture, news of the rebel army's revolt in Jinghu South reached Jiangnan.
Those who remained in Jiangnan in the Koshienkai were stunned!
How is it a rebellion?
How did it start?
How come you've stepped on the powerful in Huaihua Province?
How come they don't know anything?
They were not the only ones who did not believe it, but also the powerful people with roots all over Jiangnan, who did not want to believe it.
Jiangnan's profits are too big, Yangzhou alone is the point where Huai merchants converge every year. Not to mention the others, the Huainan Lu Clan is because of the profits of Jiangnan to be able to stand firm in Jinghu South, compared to the Huainan West, Jiangnan and Jinghu South is the Lu Clan's proper root.
How could they believe that the rebels were revolting in the next province? The people can escape, their roots are here, thousands of farmland sharecroppers mansions estates ...... they can t escape!
So after they inquired about the exact information, they decided to make the first move.
The magnates captured the men of the Koshin Society who were staying in Jiangnan and used them as blackmail to get the surname Xu to give them peace and quiet to stay in Jinghu South.
When the news reached Xu Xiongyuan, Xu Xiongyuan was already living in the biggest and most beautiful mansion in the whole Huaihua Province, sitting on the head of a chair made of sedum wood, smiling and asking all the military divisions to have any ideas.
Outside is going from door to door to conscript, said conscript, in fact, is to rob people, after robbing people, because there is no munitions reserve, give a hoe can be a piece of the battlefield, this is the way of conscription in the chaotic world.
The entire Huaihua Province can at least give Xu Xiongyuan a whole 10,000 rabble.
After reading the threatening letter sent by the Jiangnan magnates one by one, the generals were all deep in thought. At this point in time, Zhao Zhou stood up with a serious face and asked, "Dare I ask where the general's ambition is in his heart?"
Xu Xiongyuan's face was whole, and he also said in a deep voice, "Although I, Xu, am not talented, I also want to do my best for this world."
Zhao Zhou readily said, "Then the general must save his colleagues in Jiangnan, if not, I'm afraid that he will carry a reputation of being unkind and unrighteous."
Xu Xiongyun reached out to help Zhao Zhou up and smiled, "That's what someone Xu thought."
Liu Yan, who was on the side, picked up his tea and took a sip, hiding the scorn in his own eyes.
It's a travesty to do your part for this world.
Everything that happened in Jinghu South and Jiangnan came to Gu Yuanbai's table as it was.
Gu Yuanbai looked carefully at one piece at a time, remembering clearly the locations where the soldiers and horses were guarding and the routes where the refugees were fleeing, and repeatedly scrutinizing them in his mind to make sure that nothing was left out before he looked at the conflict between the powerful and the rebels.
The rebel army can step on the magnates in the south of Jinghu Lake, but the magnates in the south of Jiangnan, Gu Yuanbai feels that the rebel army can not afford to give up.
Jiangnan a place so prosperous, the rebels can use this as a logistical large granary. Jinghu South to take a tough approach, is to show their own military hard power, Jiangnan to adopt a soft approach, can cooperate with the cooperation, can not cooperate with the forced forced to also cooperate.
As long as Xu Xiongyuan formed a marriage bond with the families of a few Jiangnan magnates, the magnates got on board the ship of thieves and provided all the support they could to ensure that Xu Xiongyuan could actually succeed in his rebellion.
Since ancient times, the way to face the powerful is only to suppress and limit, limit one of the common methods is to make them move, leave their own roots, change to another place, and another local powerful to grab the cake, so as to form a limit.
Gu Yuanbai's original teenager ascended to the throne, Lu Feng has been in charge of the government for several years, don't take the porcelain work without a diamond drill, nowadays, this situation, the magnates are all indulged by Lu Feng into what kind of situation.
Gu Yuanbai rubbed his brow and said in a slow voice, "I see, the Jiangnan magnates will be involved even more."
Because the emperor's anti-corruption has shown them how tough the emperor is today. If the emperor is so concerned about the people, then he is not concerned about the magnates, that is, he is going to make a move to restrict the magnates.
In the previous years, the magnates were too comfortable, as long as the silver supply can comfortably be their own side of the emperor, the rules are set by them, they are the law, they do what they want to do, under the ultimate relaxation, ushered in such a strong anti-corruption efforts, many of the magnates are disgruntled and dissatisfied in their hearts.
The power of the Jiangnan magnates, to put it mildly, almost the entire merchants of Daheng could have some relationship with Jiangnan. In such a situation, once some people are really pulled into the boat of thieves by Xu Xiongyuan, they will desperately pull more people into this boat of thieves, completely making Gu Yuanbai unable to sit on the throne, and letting another person like Lu Feng, who can condone their development as long as they give money to them, rise to the top.
Gu Yuanbai's fingers knocked on the table, fearing that he had a hint of omission, he will all the trusted ministers will come to confer, finally suddenly a heartbeat, "Jinghu South is surrounded by mountains on three sides, but there is also an extremely circuitous river Indus Road in the rear, after the river Indus Road is the Daiyue, I can't give them a chance to escape to the Daiyue."
Xue Yuan, who had been looking at him with a stern face, stepped forward and said stiffly, "I ask for myself, and would like to receive a long tassel."
Gu Yuanbai had trust in his abilities and revealed a few smiles on his face, "Then I'll leave it to Xue Qing."
Ever since the two came back on the red cloud, Gu Yuanbai's attitude towards Xue Yuan was extremely natural, as natural as if Xue Yuan's kissing that mouthful by him and jerking him off before had never happened, and after using it, he just fucking forgot about it right away.
Xue Yuan actually didn't suffer any losses, instead, he even took some advantage, he was kissed and touched by his beloved, so by all rights, he should be satisfied.
But it's just two words, suffocating.
Xue Yuan raised his eyes and glanced at Gu Yuanbai, who smiled faintly, his face unchanged, "Go with the Privy Council to transfer troops, allow you to take 10,000 troops, pointing General Dingyuan as a supplement, and you and the three-party garrisons of Jinghu South and Jiangnan cooperate with each other, and take down all of the rebel forces for me!"
Xue Yuan's expression was astringent, and he answered in a deep voice, "I obey the decree!"
After saying that, he bowed towards Gu Yuanbai, putting the main matter on his mind for the time being, and striding towards the outside of the hall. When he was about to walk out of the hall, Mo Ming looked back at Gu Yuanbai and turned around to leave again.
This glance was inexplicable to Gu Yuanbai, who looked at Xue Yuan's back and didn't figure out the content of this glance until the person was gone.
Tian Fusheng worried from the sidelines, "Isn't it too soon to send troops at this time?"
Gu Yuanbai returned to his senses and said, "Not fast."
When marching and fighting, food and grass come first, and when Xue Yuan arrived at the Jiangji Road, the Jiangnan magnates were either destroyed by Xu Xiongyuan, or they were pulled into the ship of thieves.
At that time, both the magnates and Xu Xiongyuan became rebels, and fighting the rebels was the proper excuse, and the king's division conquered them to stand on the moral high ground. Gu Yuanbai has no intention of lengthening the battle line or getting involved in a bigger way, and he will take care of Xu Xiongyuan when he takes care of the magnates.
For more than a month, Jinghu South and Jiangnan were damaged little and well.
This is the difference between what the Emperor does and what Xu Xiongyuan does.
Xu Xiongyuan clearing the powerful that is a direct hit, clean and do not need an excuse, while Gu Yuanbai can not, as the emperor, which can do robberies?
Gu Yuanbai admired Xu Xiongyuan and unfolded the holy decree, denouncing with righteous indignation the crimes of the Jiashen Society in killing people and disturbing the peace of the world.
