The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Coming down from the top of the city, Zhao Tang quickly returned to the Xuanfu Division, and the military orders were conveyed urgently.

The curfew that was originally implemented after the city was closed was directly upgraded, and people who went out were ordered to return home an hour earlier and were not allowed to go out.

All major intersections were under martial law and interrogated. According to the military order, Jiangning City was cut into countless small pieces. People who are not in the area are strictly prohibited from stepping out unless there are special circumstances.

All kinds of fortifications were stepped up in the city, tunnels and traps, and watchtowers on the roofs. Among them, the west outer city and the west inner city were the most important, and there were secret military positions hidden not far away.

The common people have not been affected too much by these military orders. Jiangning City University generally does not leave too far away from home when they go out to work, otherwise they will not earn much money if they spend time on the road, so they hardly leave the divided area during the day .

But the big gentry family is different. The local big family has shops all over Jiangning City, and their business is spread across all walks of life. After this area is divided, the shopkeepers outside can't come to report the details of the accounts, and the gentry inside can't see the business situation. The daily income cannot be transported into the mansion, and I am dumbfounded immediately.

However, the situation of the gentry from other places is better. They have stored food for a long time, and it’s okay not to go out. It’s just that they bought a house in a civilian residential area and planned to pretend to be ordinary people once the city is broken. I regret not moving there earlier to hide.

At this moment, it is impossible for these gentry to go to Zhao Tun for an explanation, because the streets and roads in the divided area are all under martial law, they can't get out, and they can't rely on their identities. .

One day later, the entire Jiangning City fell into a state of extreme anxiety. Almost everyone's nerves were tense. The people were afraid of trouble. Seeing the streets full of swords and guns, how dare they go out to find work? For a few days, the gentry were restless in the mansion, some fell ill directly, and some were even frightened by the tense atmosphere before them and talked nonsense.

This situation is not an exaggeration. Every time Fangla's army went to the city, they did not move the people in the city at all, but only grabbed the gentry and tortured them.

Boiling human oil, lighting human lamps, peeling skin and cramps, unloading bones and cooking meat, what kind of cruelty is done, how fierce it is, and even the young women of the big clan are taken into the army.

However, Fang La's army mostly did nothing to the ordinary people in the city, at least at the beginning of this incident, when the soldiers were in full swing and the hearts of the people wanted them.

As for the other scene of the subsequent defeat, it was very different from the beginning of the uprising. This is clearly remembered in Fang Shao's "Qingxi Kougui" by the Song Dynasty, so I will not give an overview here.

That's why the gentry were terrified to death. Things like boiling human oil and lighting human lamps frightened them to death, so there were the above-mentioned things about being sick and talking nonsense.

In the Xuanfu Department, in the guest room at the back, Zhao Tun was drinking in the room, and Zhu Xiuniang was sitting on the opposite side of the couch and staring blankly at him.

Zhu Xiuniang knew more or less what was going on in the city outside, and Zhao Tama didn't let anyone deliberately hide it from her.

Zhu Xiuniang's conjectures about the terrible things are becoming more and more real. She was so panicked that Zhao Tian couldn't wait to ask questions as soon as she came in. When she saw that Zhao Tang was expressionless and didn't answer or explain, she was even more convinced that Zhao Tong had ulterior motives. Fearing that he would commit violent acts, he actually imitated the words in the storybook to swear in anger.

It's a pity that even if the words in the storybook are scolding, they are all slang and vulgar, and she has never said such slang and vulgar language since she was a child. I could only sit on the edge of the couch and stare blankly.

Zhao Tang ate wine, and after a few drinks, he suddenly said: "Where did you learn to swear? Don't ask me to hear it again, otherwise I won't be as polite as before. You must know that the most important thing I don't want is punishment, but I don't want to use it in the show It's just on you, mother."

Zhu Xiuniang looked at him, with anger in her eyes, she almost wanted to see him at this moment, she didn't care about her ladylike manners, and said: "Hypocrite, liar, virtuous reputation is all fake!"

Zhao Tun narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this.

"Xiu Niang, what did you say?"

Zhu Xiuniang hesitated slightly when she heard the words, then gritted her teeth, and continued without hesitation: "You, you are a hypocrite, deceiving the world and the court, as long as I don't die, I will go to Tokyo to sue you, and I will definitely sue you!" This evil king!"

"Evil king?" Zhao Tun stood up with a sneer, walked slowly to the side of the couch, and said, "What an evil king, if Xiuniang doesn't mind being a bad woman full of vulgar words, then this king would be fine too." Don't be afraid to be an evil king!"

After finishing speaking, he came to Zhu Xiuniang, raised his hand suddenly and tore it, and there was a sound of tearing the silk, and a smear of white snow was exposed. Zhu Xiuniang immediately screamed, covered her chest with her hands, and hid in the inner corner of the couch.

Zhao Tang looked at her coldly, and said: "I don't want to hear any rude words from you, Xiu Niang, you are the number one talented woman in Shezhou, and this time when the Jiangnan incident happened, you will be the number one talented woman in eastern Zhejiang, and so are you. After the order of your parents and the words of the matchmaker, you must always remember your own identity when you marry a county monarch who is the king's concubine, and don't embarrass the king or the royal family of Song Dynasty!"

Zhu Xiuniang immediately turned pale, and she no longer cared about the broken clothes, she stretched out a slender finger and pointed at Zhao Tun: "You, what do you want to do? When did your parents order you to be a matchmaker? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Zhao Tang looked at her and said slowly: "Grandpa Zhu has already agreed to the marriage, and betrothing you, Xiuniang, to this king as his concubine is naturally the order of my parents!"

"It's impossible, father will never agree to this!" Zhu Xiuniang was stunned, with a trace of affirmation on her face: "Father will never let me be a concubine, absolutely impossible!"

The corner of Zhao Tun's mouth appeared faintly joking: "I wish what the Grand Duke said personally, but what the Prince heard with his own ears, how could it be wrong?"

Zhu Xiuniang said angrily: "You are lying to me, this is impossible, this is all a lie you made up, I want to see my father, you let me go back to see my father!"

Zhao Tang looked at her, shook his head, and said: "This is what I said, and you don't believe it. If I say what you said before, your family will definitely agree. Didn't you lie to me first?"

Zhu Xiuniang was immediately speechless, trembling with anger, her anger and grievance were beyond words.

Zhao Tong said leisurely: "It's better to just stay here, let's just start everything from scratch."

"What started from the beginning?" Zhu Xiuniang was shocked when she heard the words, showing a look of horror, and suddenly felt that everything was wrong, as if the sky was about to collapse.

Zhao Tang also stopped talking, turned around and walked out of the door with his hands behind his back.

"Zhao Tun, you, speak clearly!" Zhu Xiuniang's panicked voice came from behind, calling her name directly, without any regard for etiquette.

Zhao Tang walked out of the room without turning his head. His face was a little ugly, and he couldn't tell what kind of emotion it was. Hesitation, helplessness, firmness and other attitudes were mixed together, making him seem to be absent-minded for a moment.

Later, Zhu Xiuniang's weak voice sounded again: "Zhao Tang, you liar, you let me go home, you..."

Zhao Tun couldn't help speeding up his pace, and there was a trace of bewilderment in his expression...

The three days passed very slowly, so slowly that the people in the entire Jiangning City seemed to live like years.

This generation of Jiangning people have never experienced war, even if they are a hundred years old, they have never seen what war looks like, and they never thought that one day they would be besieged by the rebel army, or even risk the city being destroyed.

Everyone is dumb, although it is said that Fang La's army never oppressed the people and only killed corrupt officials and evil gentry, so what?
Could it be that when Fang La came, he would no longer have to live a hard life every day, could he eat meat, drink wine, and be oppressed by others?
The common people don't know, they are ignorant of all this. Although the people in Jiangning City are toiled every day, they are better off than the servants in the suburban villages. They like a peaceful and stable life, even if they are hungry , when they are being bullied, but they always want to endure it and it will pass, they don't want to fight.

Before Jiangning City, there were also Ming Cults, so there are naturally many Ming Cults in such a big city. Just a few days ago, Zhao Tun ordered Yao Pingzhong to build a statue of Ming Zun. Apart from taking one of them to Qingliang Temple, the rest were in a place by the Qinhuai River Pretending to open a lecture.

Because the Mingjiao logo was painted everywhere outside, people from the Jiangning sub-forum asked.

This inquiry was serious, and the people in the Jiangning sub-altar were immediately shocked beyond measure. The Right Envoy of the Holy Cult was actually in the city at this moment, and he also brought many congregants from other places.

The leader of the sub-altar in Jiangning is called Duanmu Neng. Although he is only a banner envoy, he is the coach of one party and has great power. After hearing the news, he immediately went to the teaching site by the Qinhuai River, and Guangming You envoy him Naturally, he didn't see it, but he did see Yao Meng, the Mountain Tiger who is also in charge of the banner.

Both of them are envoys of the Red Banner, although Duanmu Neng is the local instructor, but Yao Meng, the Mountain Tiger, is directly under the command of the Envoy of Brightness, with a higher status and honor, so they chatted happily.

There are more than 3000 Mingjiao believers in the Jiangning sub-altar. Yao Pingzhong, who had been aliased as Yao Meng in Luzhou, was shocked when he heard the news. These 3000+ believers were undoubtedly a backstab in the city. Report to Zhao Tun.

Zhao Tang was not worried but happy when he heard it, and he whispered to Yao Pingzhong secretly, which made Yao Pingzhong break out in cold sweat.

According to Zhao Tun, besides those who went to Qingliang Temple, there are only more than 800 people left in the city of Lvliuzhuang believers brought from Tokyo, but there are few who want to do this big thing, and it is difficult to kill them all. The Imperial Army cannot be allowed to pretend to be believers, and these people came just in time.

Zhao Tun's plan is actually a bit complicated, no matter what link there can be mistakes, once there is a mistake, it is very likely to lead to the failure of the whole plan, not to mention the futility of his own efforts, and even fall into a passive situation.

Outside the city, he deceived Fang Qifo, pretending to discuss with the other party to attack Jiang Ning as the right emissary of the light, and tricked the other party into the city to kill him.

The city deceived the Jiangning sub-altar of the Mingjiao, and used them to kill the gentry in Jiangning City, and they could use these people to take the blame afterwards. No bugs.

This is Fang La's army's plan against Mingjiao.

As for the gentry, they closed the city at the beginning and made a strategy of catching a turtle in a urn. Then, in order to prevent them from making a fuss in the city and wanting to leave, they let Wu Song, Luo Jinshui and others outside act out of nothing. Blooming tricks.

Finally, there is Zhu Xiuniang. Zhu Xiuniang's chess piece is not a free chess piece, nor is it that Zhao Tuo just wanted to forcefully occupy her because of her interest. Instead, she was used as an important step. You Mingjiao is blamed, and there is no loophole in the evidence to follow, but it doesn't make sense in terms of sentiment. The absence of loopholes does not mean it must be true. After all, people are all dead, and there is no evidence for death.

And with Zhu Xiuniang present, as the only surviving member of the gentry in Jiangning City, Zhao Tun brought her into the mansion, even if she was the only one, it would be enough to block the mouths of Youyou, so that people with doubts could not guess. There is a nobleman here, and he is married to the King of Qin, which can be regarded as a marriage with a nobleman.

As for whether Zhao Tong revealed to Zhu Xiuniang what he wanted to do intentionally or not, and made Zhu Xiuniang suspicious, this was also a calculation. He wanted to let her know, and even make her sure that it was he who did it, otherwise he would return to Tokyo in the future. Her doubts did not diminish, she searched for traces of this matter everywhere, and investigated secretly, but it turned out to be a bad thing.

As for how to let her know, but also want her to be determined not to leak the news, and think of no way to get revenge, Zhao Tuo hasn't figured it out yet, killing is not something that can be done, at most, he can be locked up and not let anyone see him after he goes back.

After a whole series of calculations, there are various arrangements, cutting up the city area, setting up various ambushes, and traps, waiting for Fang Qifo to enter the city to close the door and catch the thief.

On the morning of the third day, the Fang Qi Buddhist army launched the most violent attack since the siege outside Jiangning City. The soldiers rushed down the city desperately. Slogan, wielding swords and guns, fearless of death, even if shot to the ground by feather arrows, but still struggling to crawl forward, shouting in the mouth: "Bright world, vacuum home, no life, no death, eternal light!"

These slogans became louder and louder, and at the end of the city around Jiangning, there were all the loud slogans, including the troops who had not crossed the moat in the distance, and they all shouted together.

On the top of the city, the guards and generals were all terrified. The bandit army seemed not afraid of death or pain under the slogan of the sky. Even if they were injured, they still marched forward in blood. Ma, I was shocked.

And after several times of rushing to the city, ladders began to be erected below, and these ladders were crazily built towards the top of the city. Clinging tightly to the battlements, when the bottom falls, it will be locked by gravity and it will be difficult to pry.

And when the siege soldiers climbed up the city ladders with their shields on their hands, the surrounding city heads successively poured boiled hot water down the ladders.

The hot water was removed when it was boiling and rolling over the fire. At this moment, the hood and face fell down, even with the shields on their backs, they couldn’t bear it. , with their hands and faces exposed, as long as they touched their skin, they would scream incessantly. They lost their strength to climb the ladder, and many of them fell down.

And even if it is poured on the body, if it is hot today, there are few clothes in the cloth armor, it will be soaked in an instant, and it can't bear it, just stay on the ladder for a few more breaths, and then fall down.

But even so, Fang Qifo still refused to withdraw his troops, and reorganized the siege soldiers, put on leather armor and thick clothes, and continued to attack, but the defense on the city was too strict, and the siege battle lasted until the afternoon, and there was still no one The soldiers climbed to the top of the city, and as the number of dead bodies under the city increased, Fang Qifo ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, and withdrew the attacking team to the other side of the moat...
