A certain person is the Heavenly Killer Li Gui.

Chapter 261 The house leaks and it rains all night

In real history, the White Lotus Sect was defined as a rebel, which started during the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, and the cause was in Fangla in the south of the Yangtze River.

Because of some measures taken by Liangshan, the conflict in Jiangnan did not break out for the time being, but instead broke out in Mizhou first.

The bald donkeys in this world belong to the same family. The White Lotus Sect monks here in Liangshan have begun to rebel. Of course, the monks from other places will not be idle either.

Sure enough, not long after, news came from Jiangnan that the White Lotus Sect in Jiangnan had also rebelled, and the person in charge was still Fang La.

Many of those who escaped from Song Jiang's army joined Fang La's rebel team.

With the support of this group of people, Fang La's rebellion this time was faster than in history. In less than a month, it swept through Liangzhe Road and Jiangnan East Road, with millions of soldiers, thousands of generals, and even artillery. Dozens of doors.

After Fang La occupied the territory, he also began to desperately recruit craftsmen to cast cannons. It was like an arms race, and he began to roll up the cannons.

The house leaked and it rained all night. After Wang Qing fled to the Liao Kingdom, he seduced the Liao army into invaders.

Master Nalang sent an army of 100,000 troops into two groups to invade the Central Plains.

The emperor of the Liao Kingdom at this time was Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi, but he had a younger brother named Yelu Dezhong, a nephew named Yelu Dehua, and a nephew named Yelu Dexin... I don’t know how the seniority was calculated.

The eight-hundred-mile border crossing was in a rush day and night, and they kept asking the court for reinforcements. Tokyo was even more frightened three times a day, for fear that the Liao army would be approaching the city when they woke up.

Song Huizong hurriedly asked Qing Huanzi, the national master.

"Didn't you say that everything will go well for me from now on and there will be no danger?"

"Why did the Liao army come again?"

Qing Huanzi was also panicking, but even if you die, you have to be tough-mouthed.

"Your Majesty, don't panic. With the artillery formation created by Tian Kuixing, the Liao army will definitely not be able to break through Daming Mansion."

After Song Huizong felt at ease, he anxiously collected information from the front line and paid attention to changes in the battlefield at all times.

After the Liao army crossed the Baigou River, they hit a wall in Xiongzhou and Bazhou.

Although the soldiers of the Song Dynasty here had not heard of war for a hundred years and did not dare to go out of the city to fight, they were still good at defending the city. Especially after receiving a large number of artillery pieces some time ago, they never left the city and only fired artillery inside the city.

Although Yelv Dezhong, the commander-in-chief of the Liao Kingdom, had been reminded by Wang Qing and was prepared, this was the first time he saw such a powerful military weapon, and his hands and feet were cold from shock.

After the round stone bullets were fired from the muzzle, they became unstoppable, and a trench of flesh and blood was cut through the military formation.

What's worse is that the range of the artillery is really terrifying. It can actually shoot several miles away. At this distance, even a catapult cannot reach the city wall.

With such a powerful military weapon, how could Daliao compete with the Song Dynasty in the future?

What's more, listening to what Wang Qing said, there was a heavy artillery shot from the Song army that was more than ten miles away, which was even more shocking.

"General Wang, if you don't remind me, our Liao Kingdom will perish!"

"Now that the king wants to bring this artillery back to the country, do you have a way?"

"As long as our country can obtain this valuable treasure, Your Majesty will certainly not hesitate to reward it."

Wang Qing said: "This cannon is easy to cast, but it is difficult for the craftsman to guide it."

"The sixteen states of Yanyun have their own skilled craftsmen, but they have never seen such a magical object. Your Majesty only needs to capture a few craftsmen who have made cannons and go back as guidance. Naturally, they can be restored to their original state in Daliao."

"Even if the power of the new cannon is not exactly the same, it won't be much different."

"I expect that cannons are valuable and can only be found in big cities. They may not be deployed in small cities. Your Majesty can attack small towns and take away the craftsmen in the city. There may be craftsmen who have gone to big cities to cast cannons."

"If the small town also has artillery, the king will have no choice but to use more lives to fill it. After capturing the small town, he can directly take away the ready-made artillery."

Yelu Dezhong was deeply convinced, so he sent an order to all departments to spread out and plunder everywhere. They did not dare to provoke the big cities with cannons, but only went to attack the surrounding small towns.

Although this place is the border, it has not seen war for a hundred years. The Song army in the city has long been in decay. How can it withstand the attack of the Liao army? The city was easily defeated by the Liao army.

In the past, when the Liao army went south to plunder, they would seize gold, silver, and grain, and burn what they could not take away. Now, they not only burned, killed, and looted, but also destroyed the fields, arrested various craftsmen everywhere, and robbed their families and children.

The defenders in the big city didn't know what the Liao army was thinking. They only wanted to defend the city. As long as the city was safe, it was a great achievement. They didn't care about the Liao army raging outside.

Nayelu had to calmly plunder all the surrounding counties, and then carefully select them, and indeed he selected craftsmen who had made cannons.

Yelu was so rich that he paid a lot of money to hire these craftsmen to go back to Liao with him. The young craftsmen were already in his hands. He dared not refuse, so he had to go with them.

After the Liao army retreated, the guard general who dominated the two states celebrated his victory, attributed all the credit to himself, wrote a lot of letters asking for credit, and sent people to the capital on horseback.

Although they didn't fire a single arrow or die in this battle, and they were just firing off artillery throughout the whole battle, it didn't stop them from recording the damage in the battle and writing a long list of requests for credit.

The salary in the past can be fully reimbursed by this "battle damage", and you can also receive another wave of "killed soldiers" pensions later. It's perfect!

They have done a good job in guarding the land. Even if the princes in the court know that there is water in it, they will only pretend to be deaf and dumb and will not expose everything.

In order to catch up with this wave of welfare, all the big and small people in the city, as long as they had some background, rushed to report the battle damage. Suddenly, various strange things such as "fire dragons burning warehouses", "sinister soldiers borrowing food"... etc. happened one after another. .

When everyone is doing "wonderful things", the "wonderful things" are no longer strange. On the contrary, those who do not do so are called "wonderful things".

After the memorial to ask for merit was sent to the capital, Song Huizong was even more stupid. Seeing that the Liao army retreated and Xiongzhou and Bazhou were saved, Longyan Dayue accepted all the petitions at the border.

Seeing the praising words about artillery in the memorial and the request for more gunpowder and artillery support, Song Huizong believed in the comments of the imperial master.

As expected, Tian Kuixing ascended to the throne after the catastrophe. From now on, he, Yuqing Cult Master Wei Daojun and Emperor, will have everything go smoothly and all their wishes come true.

As for those small towns that were destroyed, he didn't care at all.

The Song Dynasty was full of joy from top to bottom, except for the people who dominated the two states. Their fields were destroyed, their houses were burned, and they had no livelihood. The government did not care, so they had to fend for themselves and beg for food from surrounding states and counties.

Officials in various places treated these refugees like snakes and scorpions. They occasionally provided relief, but most of them were driven away.

Even if these refugees die, they cannot die on their own land.

Driven by caring people, these hundreds of thousands of refugees swarmed towards Qizhou.
