When taking stock of Ming Taizong at the beginning, Lao Zhu was stunned!

Chapter 50 is not just a person, but a spiritual symbol of the people at the bottom.

Tang Dynasty, the third year of Zhenguan.

Many ministers' eyes lit up. Seeing Li Shun's rebel army winning battles and establishing Shu, they were also sincerely happy for the people of Sichuan and Shu.

Hu Guogong Qin Shubao said enthusiastically: "The next step is Jianmen. Jianmen is an important military area and the choke point for entering Shu. By laying down Jianmen, it can greatly prevent foreign troops from entering Shu and win enough troops." Time to recuperate, develop the economy, and accumulate food and grass for soldiers, horses, and horses.”

Many ministers also nodded, and Changsun Wuji said: "Prime Minister Zhuge once set up a gorge at Jianmen to resist thousands of enemies, and Jiang Wei used 3 horses at Jianmen to repel Wei's Deng Ai's [-]-strong army outside the pass. The importance of doors has been evident since ancient times.

Li Shimin nodded and said: "But there are still descendants of the Song Dynasty. Could it be that the rebel army failed to take down Jianmen and was defeated by the central army of the Song Dynasty? Or is it that they became independent from the Song Dynasty and after repelling the Song Dynasty, they did not dare to continue. March into the Central Plains."

[At this time, in the fifth year of Chunhua, after almost half of the land of Sichuan and Shu was lost, Zhao Guangyi finally heard about the unrest, so Zhao Guangyi ordered his trusted eunuch Wang Jien to recruit envoys for Xichuan and lead an army to suppress the rebels. 】

[Wang Jien directly followed the route used by Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin to attack Shu, heading straight to Wu Gorge and entering Shu along the Yangtze River waterway. At the same time, he sent part of his troops to attack Jianmen Pass to ensure that the backup troops and war materials after entering Sichuan could flow unimpeded. 】

[And under the pressure of the imperial army, Li Shun made a fatal mistake. It is not his fault, as he was born in a farmer's family.The loopholes in his knowledge ultimately limited his vision, which was not as good as that of dignitaries who had been studying for many years. 】

[He ignored the importance of Jianmen. After conquering most of the troops in Shu, he sent the main force of the rebel army to attack Xinzhou, but only tens of thousands of people were sent to attack Jianmen in Shu. However, Jianmen's The defense is naturally extremely strong, and it occupies an important military location like Jianmen. 】

[The rebel army that was finally sent to attack Jianmen suffered a disastrous defeat and was nearly wiped out in less than ten days. 】

[At this time, Li Shun still had not thought about transferring the main force to attack Jianmen or make some reinforcements, and was still obsessed with the unification of Shu. 】

[This also laid the foundation for the rebel army to retreat steadily, and became the beginning of the rebel army's failure. 】

In the Song Dynasty, the fourth year of Chunhua.

Zhao Guangyi was overjoyed: "He is just a tea farmer, how can he be compared with me?"

The ministers below also congratulated and said: "This villain is short-sighted and does not know the importance of the Sword Gate. Instead, he concentrates on attacking Shu. God is really blessing me, the Song Dynasty!"

Zhao Guangyi beamed with joy. When his brother Zhao Kuangyin attacked Shu, he knew how important Jianmen was. Now that the traitor has many soldiers and horses, he failed to take down Jianmen. It is simply God's will! ——
Song Dynasty, the first year of Kaibao.

Zhao Kuangyin breathed a sigh of relief. Although he now knew about this situation and it would not happen in the future, he still cared about whether the Song Dynasty could continue.

Even though it was not his Song Dynasty, and the court also had problems such as poor supervision, it was ultimately created by himself.

[Wang Jien's two-pronged strategy formed a pincer-like offensive against Li Shun's rebel army. 】

[After entering Shu, he first attacked important strategic locations such as Jianzhou, Mianzhou, and Bazhou near Jianmen, completely eliminating the possibility of the rebel army directly attacking Jianmen, and providing support and food for the Song army. The route is paved. 】【At the same time, he also sent troops and horses to reinforce the besieged Xinzhou, forcing the main force of the rebel army that attacked Xinzhou to retreat. 】

[In May of the fifth year of Chunhua.Wang Jien surrounded Chengdu, the center of Shu. After half a month of siege, he successfully captured Chengdu, eliminated the Shu regime, and basically put down the rebellion. 】

[From this point of view, Wang Jien is at least partially capable of military proficiency. Although he copied the old example of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin's recovery of Shu, the specific operation was still rapid and the practical application was appropriate. 】

Ming Dynasty, Hongwu 13th year.

Zhu Bai was very confused: "The miracle created such a huge scene before, which sounded so thrilling, but it ended like this? Isn't it too hasty!"

Zhu Di shook his head: "Of course not, you didn't see it? The miracle has been said, it's just to basically suppress the rebellion!"

[Although Chengdu, the base camp of the rebel army, was breached, the rebel army has always fought tenaciously. The rebel army in the eastern Sichuan region used the local winding terrain to continuously divide and encircle the incoming officers and soldiers, and once defeated the officers and soldiers in a panic. Unbearable. 】

[The same is true for the insurgents in western Sichuan, who used the complex terrain to continuously repel the officers and soldiers. 】

[Moreover, ordinary people in Chengdu and even villagers in eastern Sichuan and western Sichuan were determined to resist the officers and soldiers, secretly transporting grain and grass to the rebels, and informing the rebels. 】

[As for the ending of Li Shun, the leader of the rebel army, it is extremely vague. It is no exaggeration to say that Li Shun is not a person anymore. He has become a spiritual symbol of the lower class people at that time. 】

[According to what Wang Jien told Zhao Guangyi, he was killed when he conquered Chengdu. There is another theory that he was captured in Guangzhou after more than [-] years of escaping, and was escorted to the capital to be beheaded. During this period, many different people were involved There, it was rumored that Li Shun had been discovered. 】

[Although most people who were oppressed and exploited took this opportunity to express their feelings about missing Li Shun, there were indeed many civilians who had long-standing grievances who took this opportunity to revolt. 】

[In short, Li Shun’s ghost lingered in every corner of the Song Dynasty for a long time. 】
-
Song Dynasty, the first year of Kaibao.

Although I knew it would not be easy to quell the rebellion this time, I did not expect these rebellions to be so determined. Even though the government troops had beheaded the rebels and no one could stand up to lead the rebels, the people of Sichuan and Shu were still struggling. resistance.

Zhao Kuangyin closed his eyes with a heavy heart. Although the rebel army was always retreating, the common people who had not joined were also secretly helping them. You must know that in the past turmoil, once they suffered a failure and the leader was killed, they would collapse on the spot. .

However, although these rebels have reasons for being unable to return to ordinary life, they are not like ordinary turmoil. They have not broken up and still intend to continue to resist.

Zhao Guangyi opened his eyes again. At this time, his eyes were full of determination. As the miracle said, this Li Shun was not just a person, but a spiritual symbol of the people at the bottom.

And this symbol comes from the heavy exploitation and inhumane oppression of the common people by the Song Dynasty. He will never allow such a thing to happen in the Song Dynasty in his hands!
