Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 94 The Rebel Old Story ([-])
The place where Cao Gan was imprisoned was Guest Room C, No. [-] of Shenyan Yuan. Although it was not as good as the VIP room with its own small courtyard, it was still clean and tidy. As a prisoner, he could live in such a place, if he was not tied up in There is absolutely no reason to complain of poor treatment in an oak thick-backed chair.

With high pragmatic courage, even though he knew that Cao Gan, who was bound all over his body, would never be able to move, nor could he break the solid oak chair to break free from the shackles, but he still had the attitude of "driving with care". , with Liu Ting, a god of killing, came to Cao Gan with a smile.

Seeing Gao Wushi come in, Cao Gan snorted coldly, and said mockingly: "Boy of the Gao family, if you want to see Cao's jokes, you might as well watch carefully. Cao has never seen such a big storm, and you won't fall if you look at it." Half a piece of meat."

Gao Wushi was still smiling, moved an oak chair and sat down not far from Cao Gan, and looked at the thief leader with great interest.

Cao Gan had a big bald head, and the half of the ear that Liu Ting cut off was bandaged casually, and it looked like he had been given some medicine, probably because Liu Xian felt that he was more or less an important prisoner, and he didn't want his wound to be infected and die. It was dealt with.His arm was also treated, sandwiched between two wooden boards and tightly wrapped in a white cloth, which also smelled of herbs.

But Gao Wushi was not in a hurry to speak, but Liu Ting couldn't help but glared at Cao Gan: "Everyone with the surname Cao has already reached this level, why are you pretending to be a hero? Listen to me, Mr. Gao is very busy. , but I'm not interested in watching you put on airs."

Cao Gan laughed, and a sly gleam appeared in his big copper bell-like eyes: "Oh? Really? It seems that Mr. Gao is here, either intending to kill me to vent his anger, or intending to recruit me?"

Gao Wushi laughed, shook his head and said, "I haven't even killed a chicken, how could I do it? As for recruiting... I'm a commoner, how can I recruit you?"

Cao Gan chuckled: "Even a fool in the countryside knows that the old man is more respected than the former prime minister. Your uncle is not only the old man of the court, but also the emperor's teacher. Let alone recruiting a mere thieves from me, he is Emperor Feilong was a general under his command back then, if he wanted to recruit security, he would probably be able to recruit security."

"Flying Dragon Emperor?" Gao Wushi was startled when he heard it, and thought: What kind of thing is this? Why does it have a strong fantasy animation style.

But Liu Ting beside him looked tense, and suddenly asked: "What is your relationship with that Zhang Lian rebel? Tell me!"

Cao Gan laughed out loud, but didn't bother to pay any attention to it.

Gao Wushi turned around in surprise, and asked Liu Ting, "Brother Zishou, who is Zhang Lian?"

Liu Ting stared at Cao Gan with a cold face, and said to Gao Yushi: "Mr. Gao, please take a moment to talk about this matter."

Gao Wu honestly said it's not good, I haven't raised the flag to start my surrender, so is it possible that I will die prematurely?
However, seeing Liu Chen's serious face, not like a joke, he had no choice but to stand up and walk out the door.Liu Ting then came out, and the two went to the other side room to talk.

After entering the room, Liu Chen asked Gao Wushi to sit down, and without talking nonsense, directly introduced the deeds of the "Flying Dragon Emperor" to him.

Gao Wushi didn't know about this person at first, so he could only listen to Liu Ting's narration.Originally, he guessed in his heart that this so-called "Flying Dragon Emperor" was probably a funny rebellion made by a few foolish men and women, but what he didn't expect was that the rebellion was true, but it was not funny at all.

Zhang Lian, Raoping Xiacang.He was a treasury official at the beginning, stole treasury silver, murdered and died, and took refuge in the thief Zheng Bawei. In the archives of the imperial court, he was classified as a "drama thief" at that time.If that's all, it's fine, the problem is that he is not satisfied with being a bandit, and even started a bigger business.

When Zhang Lian was a treasury official in Raoping County, he quietly engraved a seal with four characters: "Flying Dragon Master".And privately hid this seal in Sifangtang in the county seat.Then he said to people mysteriously: "I dreamed at night that a treasure fell from the sky in the pond, and the fairy dreamed that whoever could get this object would be the real dragon emperor."

Although there is nothing new about this kind of trick that the rebels used to play, it was something new to the local people, and it soon spread throughout the county.Many people believed it to be true, probably relying on the height of the sky and the emperor's distance, they went to the pool to search for it, but no one could find it.At this time, Zhang Lian saw that the brewing was almost done, so he also invited several people to Sifangtang to look for it.

This piece of jade seal was originally hidden by Zhang Lian, so of course it took no effort to get it, and it was picked up by him soon after.Zhang Lian's acquisition of this seal, in the eyes of these foolish men and women, is equivalent to God's granting the emperor's amulet.People were astonished and thought that the heaven would send a great responsibility to the people, and they all knelt down and bowed down.Just relying on this kind of old-fashioned little trick, Zhang Lian has become a local leader who is well-received by everyone.

With a reputation, it is easy to handle big things. Next, Zhang Lian "killed the patriarch and defected to Zhengba in Dapu".

Dapu, at this time, belonged to the capital of Luanzhou, the capital of Qingyuan in Raoping County.In the 37th year of Jiajing, the patriarch saw that Zhang Lian had the intention of rebelling, fearing that he would endanger the Zhulian family in the village, so he repeatedly persuaded Zhang Lian not to rebel and to be an honest and obedient citizen, and threatened that if he did not obey, he would be expelled. family.

Emperor Zhang Lian's ambitions have grown, how can he endure such "humiliating"?So he killed the patriarch angrily, climbed high, and led his followers to defect to Dapu Zhengba (this person is the leader of the White Fan Society Uprising) and became the deputy village head.After Zheng Ba's death, Zhang Lian was promoted as the leader because of Zhang Lian's "chivalry and righteousness", the highest prestige, and the emperor's amulet in his hand.Rebels from all over the country took refuge one after another, with an army of [-], and their forces became stronger and stronger.

In the 39th year of Jiajing, Zhang Lian joined forces with Cheng Xiang, Lin Chaoxi, Liang Ning, Xu Dongzhou, Dapu Xiaowan, Luo Pao, Yang Shun, Xiaojing, Zhang Gongyou, Lai Ci, Li Dongjin and other rebels.He also built a castle in Wushi, Raoping, Shangrao, his hometown, and built a "Yellow House in Zhucheng" as a palace in Zhangxiangshan, Baisongguan.Afterwards, Zhang Lian set up an altar to worship heaven and earth and proclaimed himself emperor, named "Feilong Renzhu", changed the Yuan to "Zaoli", and the country to "Feilong". The general and others will all be rewarded.

Baisong Pass is located at the junction of Shangshan Town in the north of Raoping, Guangdong Province and Jiufeng Town, Pinghe County, Fujian Province.According to legend, when the Ming Dynasty built this pass in the past, there was an ancient cypress in the north of the pass, so it was named "Bosong Pass".This is the throat that strangles the passage between Guangdong and Fujian, and it is a strategically important place where one general guards the gate and ten thousand people cannot open it.

After the "Flying Dragon Kingdom" was established, Zhang Lian stepped up his plan to overthrow the Ming Dynasty.

In the 40th year of Jiajing, Zhang Lian dispatched troops to attack the four provinces of Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang in three routes. He ordered Lin Chaoxi to lead an army of more than [-] people to attack the counties in eastern Guangdong; Attacking western Fujian and southern Jiangxi, he himself led the main force of the Chinese army with more than [-] people to attack southern Fujian and went straight up the coastline to attack Zhejiang.

The Flying Dragon Army has a huge momentum. In the early days of the expedition, there were frequent reports of success, and at the same time, it received support from rebels all over the country.When Xiao Wan and Luo Pao led the army to attack West Fujian, the brothers Bao Long (Bao Rong) and Bao Feng (Bao Hu), leaders of the Liancheng rebel army, actively cooperated and echoed each other.Xiao Wan and the Luopao Department Lianke Yongding, Shanghang, Wuping, Changting, Changle, and Liancheng also cut off the food roads of the officers and soldiers, and took advantage of the victory to attack Ruijin, Ningdu, Xingguo, Wan'an, Taihe and other places in southern Jiangxi; Lin Chaoxi The Ministry moved to the east of Guangdong, attacking Chaozhou, Dapu, Meixian, Xingning, Longchuan and Heping in Heyuan; Zhang Lian personally commanded the rebels, occupied Pinghe in April, fell into the sky in June, broke through Nanjing in August, and captured Zhangzhou After Zhenhai, they pointed directly at Quanzhou, Putian, and Fuzhou, taking advantage of the victory to capture Longquan, Zhejiang.As pointed out by the rebels, the momentum was like a broken bamboo, and they captured dozens of county towns in a short period of time, and the entire Feilong rebel army grew to 20 people!
