Chapter One Thousand and One Reasons for Rebellion
The topic was a little far-fetched, and Ding Wei had accumulated countless grievances in his heart. No one dared to approach him as a criminal, and everyone deliberately kept a distance for fear of being labeled as a Ding party member.
Ding Wei was also a very well-connected person in the city. He originally planned to put these words in the coffin. When he met Liang Chuan, he thought that he would never have this opportunity to speak freely in his life, so he vented his anger towards Liang Chuan.
.
In fact, Liang Chuan was very curious. Wasn't Ding Wei worried that he was Xia Song's man? Even if he said so many things to himself, he wasn't worried that he would betray him!
After all, Liang Chuan was worried. Ding said, what else is there to be afraid of now? It's just a sick tiger without teeth and claws, and it doesn't have the ability to hurt people even if it wants to!
He Ding said that he wanted Xia Song to know these things on purpose. Xia Song was the least likely to deal with the self-proclaimed virtuous scholars in the court. Maybe he would say some fair words for him!
Liang Chuan asked Ding Wei for advice: "Sir, do you think there will be chaos in Guangnan?"
Ding Wei took a sip of tea and said slowly and calmly: "That year I entered Xidong in Western Shu alone to negotiate with the local rebels and native leaders. Only without a single soldier did they believe in the sincerity of the court!"
"The kings of thieves were all subdued by my momentum and expressed their willingness to submit to the imperial court. I also promised the natives some benefits on behalf of the imperial court. This allowed Sichuan to have no rebellion for decades. You don't know that place, Sichuan Guanzhong Tianfu, has been there since ancient times.
There are natural dangerous passes, and if they are defended, even a few farmers with hoes can start a rebellion! I remember that a few years ago, an old student in Enke shouted long live in the paper. The officials took pity on his age and rewarded him with an official position.
, this guy arrived in Shuzhong to take up his post, and I don’t know if he felt too good about himself, but he even said such outrageous words as "burning the Broken Sword Gate on the plank road, Xichuan will be completely different." The court did not pursue this guy, but he gave up.
The fame he earned after taking exams all his life is gone. Even if he runs fast, otherwise the saliva of the officials will drown him!"
Shen Yuzhen quickly looked at Liang Chuan, wondering why the old Kuangsheng Ding Wei mentioned looked a bit like Su Wei!
Liang Chuan exchanged glances with her, but didn't say anything about Su Wei. He naturally knew that the crazy person in this picture was the dead old ghost at the port. What was the use of talking about it, to expose Su Wei's identity?
This matter has nothing to do with Su Wei in the first place, but Ding Wei's memory is really good. Even after so many years, he can easily pick up anecdotes about any low-level official in the court. This fact has to be admired.
"As I said before, if there is chaos in Shu, the world will be in chaos! That year I went to Sichuan alone to quell the rebellion. Wang Jun fell in love with me and swore to God that he would not launch a rebellion as long as I was alive."
When Liang Chuan heard this, he thought to himself that Wang Jun was not afraid of you, Ding Wei, but he was living a good life now. He had business to sell the products on hand, and he could purchase goods from the Song Dynasty. Why would he rebel? Unless
If someone abolishes this system, I don’t believe that they still won’t rebel because of your reputation!
Ding Wei continued: "In order to show his goodwill to me, Wang Jun gave me many secret letters from the leaders of Dongxi Village, the surrounding native people, and I learned many secrets from this!"
secret!
At this point, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became weird.
Although Guangnan West Road is thousands of miles away from Liangchuan, Liangchuan has things to do here at this time, and Si Fangxing has also been exiled here. A chaos here will not benefit anyone.
Taking another ten thousand steps back, many of Qingyuan's businesses have to deal with Nanyang. If Guangnan is in chaos and the court has no control, all kinds of monsters and snakes will come out, and the people will have no way to survive. Many people will definitely go to sea to become pirates. By then, the throat of Nanyang will be
Hold on, how to do business?
Since Ding Wei told the secret, he definitely no longer intends to treat him as a secret!
"Go back and tell Xia Song! If he wants to be his prime minister of peace, the South can no longer sit idly by and ignore it!"
Ding Wei deliberately spoke loudly. Although Xia Song was not there, Liang Chuan listened very carefully at the time!
Master Xia is the one who calls the shots in the court now. If one day he is unhappy and moves himself to the south, he will suffer a lot!
If he were in a good mood and let himself retire earlier, he might not have to suffer the pain of dying in a foreign land!
"I will definitely convey this to Xia Xianggong!"
"When Wang Jun started the uprising, there was a letter in it written by the Nong family, a wealthy family in Guangnan!"
Nong? This surname is almost invisible today, but nowadays, if you shout it on Guangnan West Road, it will definitely make people tremble!
Guangnan West Road has surnames such as Nong, Ning, Mo, and Long. They are all extremely rare, but they are powerful and powerful! The imperial court has existed in name only here. Fortunately, the people here are too poor, and it is not easy to have enough to eat.
, there is no other income and no important minerals, otherwise they would have aimed their minions at the Central Plains in the north!
"Who are these people? How brave are they? They dare to collude with the rebels. Writing a letter is tantamount to leaving a clue for themselves. Since your Excellency can know, there must be other people who can read this letter.
, are they really not afraid of death?"
Hehe! Ding Wei sneered and said, "Do you know what the Guangnan soldiers are called soldiers?"
A terrifying term appeared in Liang Chuan's mind!
"Wolf soldiers!"
"Yes, wolves are cunning and cunning, and their ambitions are huge. As long as the prey they are targeting cannot reach their mouths, they will not stop! Do you think they are afraid?"
"At that time, the Nong family had already gathered 30,000 Dong people to prepare to send troops from Guangnan to the north to cooperate with Wang Jun inside and outside. If I hadn't left early and Wang Jun surrendered to the court first, half of the Song Dynasty would probably have the Yi surname!"
Thirty thousand Dong people!
In other words...30,000 wolf soldiers!
The first time the wolf soldiers became famous was under the leadership of the legendary female general Qin Liangyu in the late Ming Dynasty. Thousands of wolf soldiers held white poles, also known as white pole soldiers!
These thousands of beggars, who didn't even have straw sandals, took weapons chopped from the woods and met and killed gods along the way. No peasant army in the late Ming Dynasty could rival them!
This group of people fought from the far south to the door of the Jurchens' home in the north, and were finally surrounded and killed by the Jurchens on the banks of the Hun River with ten times more cavalry!
Later, during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Northern Expedition, Guangxi soldiers were synonymous with elites. Their fighting ability was truly terrifying!
How are we going to fight these 30,000 wolf soldiers?
Although not every one of these Dong people is as high-quality as the soldiers in Qin Liangyu's army, they are definitely not much different!
"Why did Mr. Nong remain calm for so many years?"
Ding Weiyou said with some pride: "I got this letter from Wang Jun, but I didn't tell the officials, and no one in the court knew about it. I sent it directly to the Nong family!"
What! What kind of magical operation is this!
"Sir, aren't you afraid that these people in Guangnan will be cornered by you?"
Ding Wei touched his beard and said, "You can jump as long as you want. I am still afraid of him as a barbarian?"
If the scale of the rebellion is particularly large and reaches the point where there is no way to save the day, then no one can do anything about it. The Song Dynasty will not pay attention to the small and big troubles of individual local forces, and will destroy every one that pops up!
Liang Chuan hurriedly put a high hat on Ding Wei and said: "Master Wu Hou is alive, I really admire you!"
"I am not the best. Although this Nong family is very ambitious, I have seen several generations of Nong family members. Except for a yellow-haired boy who is a little worried, the others are not worth mentioning at all!"
"May I ask, sir, who is this Nong family? You need to be careful. I can remind Xia Xianggong more in the future!"
"For several generations, the Nong family has been the skeletons of the graves. Among the youngest generation, there is a junior named Nong Zhigao. It is said that he is both civilized and military. He can sing hundreds of poems at the age of seven, and can mount a horse to fight at the age of ten. According to my opinion, this
If the Nong family is in the hands of this kid, I'm afraid it will end..."
Why is it going to end again? Just now you praised someone for their ability, now you are saying that they are going to end?
Liang Chuan is puzzled!
"If you are doing nothing, you will be afraid. Anyway, life is passing by. If you have ideas, then you have to work hard. Sooner or later, these cave people will be led to destruction!"
As soon as Ding Wei said it, Liang Chuan immediately agreed...
"As soon as my letter arrived, the leader of the Nong family immediately dismissed 30,000 Nong people and sent me countless gold and silver coins to settle the matter! I took his money, so naturally I pretended not to see it!"
"When they see that I dare to send them a letter, it means that the imperial court is not afraid of war. The Nong family cannot stand alone. Without Wang Jun in Shu, how many times can they jump?"
"Nong is pretty good at doing things. He paid a lot of money in exchange for decades of peace. It's quite a bargain!"
Such vicious methods, Ding Wei's control over people's hearts is at its peak!
Liang Chuan was a little speechless. It was the first time he saw someone talk about taking bribes in such a fresh and refined way, without blushing at all!
But Liang Chuan still didn't understand: "What does this have to do with the Guangnan rebellion?"
"The ethnic minorities in Shuchuan are having an easy time, but the people in Guangnan are even worse off! Officials have no place to blackmail, so they can only focus on these poor Nong people! Why do they want to rebel with Wang Jun?
, it’s because they don’t have a market like Wang Jun, and there’s no one to do business with them. Every purchase of salt will be heavily taxed by the government. The people’s life is really difficult, and there will definitely be chaos within ten years!”
"The Nong people lack a capable leader. In the past few years, the beast Nong Zhigao has grown up, and there is no doubt that there will be rebellion..."
"The imperial court has exhausted its troops in the northwest, and it can be said that the world is now settled. However, the imperial court has never paid attention to the south. In fact, the cause of the demise of the Tang Dynasty was the barbarians in the south. Now the biggest enemies in the south of the Song Dynasty are not these Dong and Nong people.
People, let alone other ethnic minorities, but the newly emerged Li Dynasty of South Vietnam. These people are the biggest worry of our Song Dynasty!"
"The Nong family is caught between the two forces of the Song Dynasty and South Vietnam. It is impossible to be independent. As long as he falls to one of them, he will completely offend the other. Before the Song Dynasty and the Li Dynasty start fighting, they will definitely take advantage of him first.
The grass on the wall comes to offer sacrifices to the flag!"
"What is before the Nong family now is not a question of choice, but a question of how long they can sway!"
"We, the Song Dynasty, may not take action, but the South Vietnamese can no longer sit still!"
