Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 1449 Qin Xiaozhong

"Bring out the guard of honor of the truth!"

In front of the Duliangshan rebel camp, Tong Zhongshu Menxia Sanpin, Zhongshu Shilang, Prince Taibao, Jiangnan Xuanwei Ambassador, Wu'an County King Qin Xiaozhong came directly in purple robes and jade belts, wearing white horses.

The soldiers behind him held several large banners, revealing the identity of the middle-aged prime minister.

When the Qin Ziqi appeared, the rebel camp was already noisy, and when they found out that the purple-robed official was actually the prime minister of the imperial court, Qin Lang's eldest grandson, and Qin Jun's eldest son, they were even more panicked. , Shocked everywhere.

Qin Lang's grandson is much more famous than Xu Shiji's grandson. Although Xu Shiji is still from Qin Qiong's generation and was once the third head of Wagang, but since the Zhenguan Dynasty, Xu Shiji has not been as powerful as the Qin family.

Let alone now.

Qin Lang has lived in the Six Dynasties, and a single name can intimidate countless people, even Qin Xiaozhong is from Zeng Xuanwei River.

After surrendering to the rebels, the morale of the rebel camp was unstable. Both Li Chongfu and Wei Chao had to send their own soldiers to kill more than a dozen people in a row before they managed to suppress the morale of the army.

Qin Xiaozhong returned to the front of the formation.

Heizhi Changzhi was called, "I see that the morale of the rebel camp has been shaken. You suspend the attack and let go of the siege at the foot of the mountain. After dark, Li Chongfu, Wei Chao and other rebel generals will inevitably flee at night." , At that time, I would go down without a fight, but now with a strong attack, they can only die."

Hei Chi Chang Zhi was very happy to lead the order to cooperate, let go of one side to surround, and then deployed troops to ambush in the distance.

"Rest when you should rest, eat what you should eat and drink, and wait for the night!" Qin Xiaozhong ordered with great confidence, except for a small number of soldiers who were kept on guard, most of the people began to rest.

Sure enough, during the day the rebel camp kept making noises, but no one came out to attack.

Until night fell slowly.

The noise continued until midnight, and finally a fire broke out in the camp, and the rebels began to flee by night.They followed the gap that Qin Xiaozhong deliberately let Hei Chi Changzhi open, and ran with their lives. There were also many rebels who did not run after leaving the camp, but surrendered directly to the Tang army.

"Wei Chao and Li Chongfu ran away." Hei Chi Changzhi was fully armored, and he had already recovered his energy.

Qin Xiaozhong smiled, "Take your fine cavalry of the forbidden army, and hunt them down. It's best not to chase them too hard."

"The lower official understands that Wei Chao and Li Chongfu will be left to lead the way, and the bead curtain will be rolled upside down, and they will go all the way to Yangzhou City and capture Xu Jingyou alive."

"It's worth a try, but it depends on the situation. If there is no chance, don't worry, I will be there soon."

Heizhi Changzhi led Qingqi and began to hunt down the rebels. Just as Qin Xiaozhong expected, the rebels had no morale and no fighting spirit. Black and run.

Then they ran out of the camp and were ambushed, and many officers and soldiers surrendered directly.

After running for twenty miles, there were less than ten soldiers around him. Wei Chao didn't dare to stop, so he had to bite the bullet and run all the way to Yangzhou City.

Heizhi Changzhi led his cavalry in pursuit.

One runs and the other chases.

After chasing and chasing all the way to the city of Yangzhou, Xu Jingyou in the city opened the city to let Wei Chao and others in, trying to attract the defeated soldiers before the Tang cavalry in the distance arrived, and also increase the defensive strength of Yangzhou city.

Unexpectedly, Wei Chao and the others had just crossed the suspension bridge with people, and then some rebel soldiers behind him rose up and started hacking with their knives.

The city gate was in a mess.

Only then did Wei Chao realize that something was wrong. While running and running, some officers and soldiers actually changed into rebel armor and mixed into their rear team.

They just ran for their lives and ran more than 200 miles in one night. Where did they find this.

But at this time, it was too late to react, the city gate was in chaos, and Tang Qi, who had been hanging far behind, suddenly rushed towards him, and arrived in a blink of an eye.

"General, retreat quickly!"

On the top of the city, the faces of the family members around Xu Jingyou changed drastically, they pushed Xu Jingyou and ran away.

"If you can't keep it, get out!"

"Bring King Wu!" Xu Jingyou's complexion was extremely pale, but he did not forget Li Kun, the titular lord.

There was chaos in the city.

The cavalry led by Hei Fang Chang had already entered the city.

At this time, some lurking men and horses in Yangzhou City also started to act, causing chaos everywhere.

In the dark night, Xu Jingyou hurriedly broke into the former Yangzhou government office, the present Wu Wangfu. Li Kun was just getting dressed when he heard the news. When he saw him coming, he hurriedly asked what happened.

"The official army has already entered Yangzhou City."

"how is this possible?"

"Wei Chao and Li Chongfu turned against each other. They cheated and retreated. As a result, as soon as the city gate was opened, their subordinates began to hack people and seize the gate. In a moment of carelessness, the city gate was taken away by those goddamn dog slaves. Please hurry up! I'm going out of the city, let's go to Runzhou, my elder brother still has elite soldiers in his hands, we haven't lost yet."

Li Kun was taken aback.

At this time, there was a scream outside, then the sound of bows and arrows piercing the air, then the sound of swords clashing, and then screams.

A rebel fled in covered in blood.

"Damn Cao Gang, they turned against..."

Not only the Cao Gang on the wharf did the work, but also many large commercial firms and merchants headed by salt merchants in Yangzhou City also seized the opportunity to do it.

At this time, they all want to atone for their crimes, and they also want to vent their anger at being forced to donate or even robbed by the rebels.

The city of Yangzhou was in chaos.

The sky will be bright and the chaos will continue.

At dawn, Qin Xiaozhong arrived on horseback, and Hei Chi Chang Zhi offered several heads.

Li Kun, Xu Jingyou, Wei Chao, Li Chongfu and other rebel leaders all died in the chaos last night. Few escaped, and most of them died by the rebel leaders themselves. He died at the hands of various forces in the city, such as the Cao Gang and the Salt Bank, which were suddenly in trouble.

Everyone held the heads of the rebels and lined up outside the government office in Yangzhou to ask to see Mr. Qin.

The next progress went smoothly and exceeded expectations.

Originally, Xu Jingye was also a general's son after all. He was one of the six gentlemen at the end of the Kaiyuan period. , Defeated several states and counties.

However, Yangzhou was recovered by the imperial officers and soldiers, and the news that Li Kun, Xu Jingyou and others had been killed one after another spread across the river, and the morale of the rebel army collapsed instantly.

On the same day, some rebel generals tried to do anything anyway. Although Xu Jingye suppressed the rebellion, many rebels still couldn't stop them from fleeing.

Two-thirds less in one day.

How to fight this battle.

Xu Jingye also had no choice but to go out to sea by boat, preparing to flee to North Korea, in the middle of the night.

Xu Jingye's confidant general Wang Xiangna led troops into his camp. Xu Jingye cut down several people, but he was still stabbed to the ground by the spear, and Wang Xiangna directly chopped off his head.

Wang Xiangna and others searched and arrested Tang Zhiqi and other rebel backbones, and the commotion lasted all night.

At dawn, Wang Xiangna carried Xu Jingye's head across the river, and came to the city of Yangzhou to offer his head and surrender.

Qin Xiaozhong accepted his surrender, and recognized the heads of Xu Jingye and others at a glance.

The great rebellion in the three states of Yangrun and Chu was completely put down after less than half a month.

"I think the Xu family is also the founding father of the country, and Xu Jingye was a passionate scholar, one of the six gentlemen who took the lead in petitioning the palace gate, and now he has ended up like this!" Qin Xiaozhong couldn't help sighing.

The Qin family and the Xu family were still married for three generations, not to mention they were both born in Wagang. When Li Jingye became famous in Luoyang Xuecheng and became one of the six gentlemen praised by scholars all over the world, Qin Xiaozhong had just followed his grandfather Qin Lang from Lusong Enter Luo, just a nameless junior.

Over the past 30 years, things have changed.

Di Renjie, who was also one of the six gentlemen, has become the Prime Minister of Zhongshuling, Pei Yan has also become a servant, Wei Yuanzhong and others are also important officials of the central government.

However, Li Jingye has ended up like this, and even implicated the entire Shu Guogong and British Duke's family.

The efforts of three generations are not enough to produce a "rebellious minister and thief".

From this point of view, Qin Lang was very far-sighted when he was determined to run an autonomous territory overseas. Of course, if his uncle Qin Yu, who is now in charge of Lu Song, makes trouble, or Qin Yu's descendants will take over Lu Song in the future It is estimated that it will not be much better. The difference may only be based on the current power structure in Luzon. When Qin Yu or his descendants want to do stupid things that endanger the entire Luzon, the vassals and nobles of Luzon Maybe he won't agree, as long as there is no rebellion in the whole of Lu Song, then some descendants of the Qin family will not endanger the whole Qin family if they rebel. This can be regarded as an important insurance that Qin Lang has been operating for the Qin family.

With the strength of Lu Song and the prestige of the Qin family, as long as the whole of Lu Song does not declare rebellion, the court will have to consider the existence of Lu Song first, unless the court can really ignore Lu Song completely. , or the court has a second ancestor emperor.

But even that ancestor, didn't he really fail to kill Lu Song until he died, because of fear.And the future emperors of the Tang Dynasty will definitely not be able to do whatever they want. If they want to attack Lu Song, the two governors of the imperial court will seriously remind the emperor of the consequences of doing so.

The three-way army of the three privy envoys had not yet assembled, and Qin Xiaozhong had put down the rebellion here. The so-called Qing Dynasty side seemed to be a complete farce.

It's just that although this farce ended soon, a large number of families will be implicated again. The Xu family of the British, the Du family of Huanshui, and even the Wang family of Taiyuan are, after all, a family that once turmoiled the three states and engulfed 10,000+ people. This rebellion happened in the most affluent Jiangnan area, and it can even be said that it was a serious inland rebellion incident that had never happened since Zhenguanchu ruled the world.

But it depends on what the empress dowagers and queens of the two palaces mean, and what the governors of the two mansions think. After all, the emperor has just ascended the throne, and such a vicious rebellion is not good in all aspects, but stability must always come first.

Those who are coerced may be lightly punished, or even most of them are acquitted, but for the leaders and backbones, especially the rebels whose hands are stained with the blood of court officials and soldiers, they will never be lightly forgiven.

Maybe I can win a new batch of long-term prisoners for Nanfangzhou.

"Congratulations to Prime Minister Qin, put down the rebellion and make another great contribution." Hei Chi Chang Zhi came in to congratulate him with joy.

Qin Xiaozhong chuckled, "A bunch of mobs are not worth mentioning. However, General Black Tooth's achievements in this battle will be reported to the imperial court according to the truth, and everyone will be credited."

"Thank you, Qin Xiang, for taking care of him." Hei Chi Changzhi was full of excitement, and even unabashedly expressed to Qin Xiaozhong the intimacy between generals and prime ministers beyond normal.

"Is there any border town that General Black Tooth wants to go to? I will ask someone to recommend you for your contribution this time. It is no problem to be promoted to Jiedu of a town."

"Everything is arranged by Prime Minister Qin!" Hei Chi Changzhi is a general of Baekje, and of course he wants to go to North Korea to be a commander in chief, but he also knows that because of his background, it is impossible for him to return to North Korea to be a commander in chief. And with his experience in the Western Regions for a long time, it is very suitable to go to the three towns of the Western Regions. Whether it is Hezhong, Anxi, or Beiting, this section commander will do very well.

After one or two terms, if someone in the court supports you, you can still enter the Privy Council, and go further, become a member of the Privy Council and sign a Privy Council officer, add the rank of Zhizhengshi, and be promoted to the imperial court.

Marshal is the most important step in the official career of generals. If you can be promoted, you will be qualified to enter the Shufu in the future. , it is impossible to enter the Privy Council.

This is a necessary step, of course, unless you are a civil servant.There is an unwritten rule in the Privy Council now. Privy envoys are usually civil servants, and they are often held by former servants or former left and right servants. Two of the three deputy privy envoys are also civil servants, and they are usually appointed by the former secretary. The servant, the Huangmen servant, or the Minister of the Ministry of War who entered the hall will be transferred to the deputy envoy of the Privy Council.

Because three of the eight positions in the Shufu are reserved for civil servants, the military generals actually only have five positions to contend for, but now there are thirteen commanders in border towns in the Tang Dynasty.

The thirteen Marshals can only compete for the ruling position of the five Privy Councils.

However, there are 24 positions for the top general from the second rank, and the more you go up, the more difficult it is.

Every step up is inseparable from the support of real nobles.
