I will hold the dragon flag high in all the worlds Chapter 418 The death of the heroes in Liangshan, the countdown to the demise of the Song Dynasty (please subscribe)
Eight hundred miles of water in Liangshan!
This lake, which disappeared due to the diversion of the Yellow River in later generations, has now become a hotbed of life for poor farmers in the Song Dynasty.
Since Zhao Ji ascended the throne, the population here has continued to increase.
From a few thousand people taking refuge, it has now grown to more than 150,000 people and more than 40,000 soldiers.
This has become the most troublesome force for local officials.
In the past two years, changes have taken place on Shuibo Liang Mountain, and Chao Gai, the king of pagodas, has taken the first place.
This Chao Gai is a character. Chao Gai was originally Baozheng, a wealthy man in Dongxi Village, Yuncheng County, Shandong Province. Because he took the bluestone pagoda and put it down in Dongxi Village, he was known as the Pagoda King.
Later, because he conspired with Liu Tang, Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng and Ruan's three heroes to outwit the birthday plan, he was hunted down by the government after the incident, so he had no choice but to defect to Bo Luocao in Liangshan. Because Wang Lun, the leader of Bo village in Liangshan, was not compatible with him, Wu Yongzhi provoked Lin Chonghuo and merged with the king.
After Lun, everyone recommended Chao Gai as the leader of the village.
After taking a high position, this guy was not willing to be restrained by the eight hundred miles of water and began to develop outwards.
A year ago, after treating Song Jiang, he became even more powerful.
Song Jiang was also an unlucky guy. This guy was in danger because he wrote an anti-poetry in Xunyang Tower. Chao Gai and other Liangshan heroes robbed the Jiangzhou execution ground and rescued Song Jiang and Dai Zong.
With the addition of Song Jiang, Shuibo Liangshan's One Hundred and Eight will be quickly formed.
Fang La continued to cause rebellions and often massacred unscrupulous gentry. The officials of the Song Dynasty were worried about their official title.
The people of the Song Dynasty were not stable enough, and Zhao Ji was a person who enjoyed extravagant enjoyment and was greedy for vanity.
With the support of corrupt bureaucrats headed by Dong Guan and Cai Jing, Zhao Ji's "Huashi Gang" and "Gen Yue" harmed the vital interests of countless people in the Song Dynasty.
The fourth year of Daguan in the Northern Song Dynasty, 1100 years!
Chao Gai, the tota king of Shuibo Liangshan, after hearing that his fellow villagers were oppressed by corrupt officials again and ate three kilograms of beef and drank many kilograms of Maotai wine purchased by the Chunfeng Caravan, he met Lu Junyi, Wu Yong, Song Jiang and others from Liangshanbo.
After some discussion, we decided to raise a flag.
The flag says "Walking for Heaven".
The banner he used was to uphold justice for heaven, but what he did was not benevolent at all.
In the name of killing corrupt officials and saving the people, they oppress good people, kill people arbitrarily, rob all kinds of livestock, and provide themselves with a generous life of eating meat and drinking wine.
In just half a year, the Shuibo Liangshan generation was devastated by this group of forces.
Seeing that the Shuibo thieves were becoming more and more powerful, officials from all over central Shandong took a large sum of money and used some tricks to find the way to Lieutenant Gao and requested to send troops to encircle and suppress them.
After Gao Qiu's wallet was bulging, he finally agreed to the requests of these officials.
Three months later, various ministries in the Song Dynasty sent 30,000 soldiers, claiming to the outside world as 100,000, to surround Shuibo.
Under the control of the Qingzhou Command Department, the Qin Ming Dynasty, known as Thunderbolt Fire, led a vanguard army of 5,000 to launch the attack first.
Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming had a bad temper. He thought that Liangshan was a waste and did not do any reconnaissance during the battle, so he rushed into the encirclement of Liangshan.
After fighting for half a day, they returned defeated.
The morale of the Liang Shanshui bandits was greatly boosted, and then they took advantage of the geographical advantage to continuously defeat the Song Dynasty army that tried to encircle and suppress them.
Thirty thousand troops could not enter Shuibo Liangshan, so they not only gave away their troops, but also gave away a large amount of equipment. It was just like the local tycoon yelling about beating up Amen, and then being beaten until he could not find the north.
The Song Dynasty was extremely angry after the disastrous defeat, and Zhao Ji learned of the matter.
He immediately ordered Captain Gao to send troops to encircle and suppress them.
Although Gao Qiu rose to the top by playing football under Zhao Ji, he has a good mind.
This guy managed to win several battles with the help of equipment and merchant ships purchased from Dongfeng Caravan.
But what Captain Gao didn't know was that the reason why he could win the battle was inseparable from the push of the invisible hand.
The people secretly trained by the Dongfeng Brigade played a big role.
Lieutenant Gao led his troops to encircle Shuibo and decide the outcome in one battle.
All the forces in the world were surprised when they learned about Gao Taiwei's behavior, and Gao Qiu's prestige was thus established.
The defeated Shuibo Liangshan heroes were also preparing to overwhelm Bianjing.
They have to accept the most severe punishment in the Song Dynasty - Ling Chi.
Looking at the imprisoned rebels, he looked pleadingly and proudly at the muskets and artillery in his hands.
Thinking of the martial arts of the Liangshan thieves, Gao Qiu couldn't help but feel chills running down his spine.
The more than a thousand martial arts masters of the Shuibo anti-thief organization have very strong combat effectiveness.
Fighting alone, the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty were no match at all.
For example, his old enemy, the leopard-headed Lin Chong, was invulnerable to bullets and bullets. If he hadn't been bombarded by artillery shells, maybe that family would have rushed to his formation and killed him with his own hands.
And the strength of Lu Zhishen and others is even more terrifying!
By the way, the guy who can cast spells is also very powerful. If he hadn't requested the size of the Chunfeng Brigade and summoned Taoist experts from Wudang Mountain, the outcome of his own army would have been unpredictable.
Love reading books
After several days of fighting, Gao Qiu led the troops, relying on their numerical superiority and strafing and bombing with muskets and artillery.
If it were not for the support of these weapons, they would definitely end up defeated and killed.
After fighting for half a month and plundering for half a month, Gaoqiu finally took control of Shuibo Liangshan.
Then a total of more than 100,000 guilty people were captured.
There are so many people that Gao Qiu doesn't know how to deal with them.
The Song Dynasty governed the world with benevolence and filial piety.
After half a month of fighting, all the good things in Liangshan were looted and all the die-hards were killed.
How to arrange the remaining people is really difficult!
Let’s introduce the composition of Liangshan’s forces.
The first batch of people are those who cannot survive.
The forces represented by powerful heroes joined in for various reasons. They are the second batch of Calais.
The third group came as Liangshan developed and grew, and the people voluntarily attached themselves.
Of course, there are many Liangshanbo people who were kidnapped.
The heroes of Liangshan ate meat and drank wine, and looked extremely cool, but all this was based on the suffering of others.
Many people here do not want to join Liangshan.
Although Gao Qiu is greedy and excessive, his temper is not that cruel.
Killing like this will not stop the attacks of political opponents!
After annihilating the Liangshan bandits and achieving great success, Gao Qiu said that the reason for killing tens of thousands of people was because of their stubbornness.
But if you kill them all, you will definitely be beaten!
You must know that what the Song Dynasty liked most was to suppress military officers. They were very afraid of military generals with outstanding military exploits.
The cruel general will definitely be attacked in groups.
Gao Qiu relied on Zhao Ji's trust, and he was naturally at odds with those civil servants.
If you massacre all the people, your political enemies will definitely attack you.
After thinking about it for a day, I still can't think of a good solution to this difficult problem.
He had no choice but to give up and first sent the news of victory to Bianjing.
After resting for a day, he summoned his counselors to discuss how to properly deal with these mobs.
Some people suggested killing all the rebels to scare Xiao Xiao and save food.
Being scolded by Gao Qiu makes you crazy!
Some people thought of incorporating them into the Xiang army.
"With so much money and food, who will pay for it?"
Some people also proposed to make them perform labor and deprive them of the remaining value of their labor.
Gao Qiu was very excited about doing hard labor.
Just when Gao Qiu was thinking about how he would answer if the officials asked him how to deal with these people, a messenger came in to report.
"Taiwei, someone outside the door asked to see Taiwei, saying that he can perfectly arrange the aftermath work for 100,000 people!"
Gao Qiu was stunned: "Can one hundred thousand people be properly accommodated?"
Gao Qiu suddenly became interested. He wanted to see who dared to make wild claims about being able to house 100,000 people.
Soon, Chen Aiguo asked someone to come in with more than ten large boxes.
After some flattery, Chen Aiguo went straight to the point.
"I heard that Lieutenant Gao has a headache about how to deal with the rioters. We happen to be short of people here, so we want to reach a cooperation with Lieutenant Gao!"
Gao Qiu looked at Chen Aiguo with interest, waiting for him to state his conditions.
"I heard that Taiwei has dealt with tens of thousands of culprits. If the remaining more than 100,000 people are found guilty, they will not die. Our factory has insufficient productivity and saw people, so we came to seek cooperation." Chen Aiguo motioned to the team members to open the box.
.
Zhila~
Boxes were opened one by one, and the items inside came into Gao Qiu's eyes.
When the sun shines, the contents of the box reflect colorful light.
Box after box of pearls, boxes of aluminum coins, boxes of mirrors.
"Gudu~"
Even the well-informed Gao Qiu couldn't help but swallow his saliva at this moment.
The demanding heart, like the blazing sunshine, began to agitate.
"There are fifty boxes of pearls, 200,000 coins, and a thousand glazed mirrors here. They should be able to redeem the lives of more than 100,000 people. Gao Taiwei, we are going to build a closed factory and build glazed mirrors in the Song Dynasty.
Because of the need for confidentiality, it is best to use prisoners as workers."
"You want to build a glass mirror workshop here?" Gao Qiu looked at Chen Aiguo in confusion.
Chen Aiguo nodded: "Yes, the Liuli Factory is of great importance and must not be held by migrant workers. These prisoners are guilty, so it is best to let them do this. And using them to produce Liuli, we only need to pay half of the salary to obtain labor.
It’s a great deal.”
"Then... how to provide food, accommodation and food and clothing for prisoners?"
Gao Qiu asked about his concerns.
To be honest, Gao Qiu was very excited to hear that there were still people buying labor force.
During the years of the Song Dynasty, things did get better due to the changes made by the Spring Wind Caravan.
But this change for the better is due to the gentry getting better, the Song Dynasty bureaucrats getting better, and the generals getting better.
The wealthy few are not wealthy!
Common prosperity is!
Because Zhao Ji is a foolish king. At the moment, he only cares about eating, drinking, having fun and doing art, and does not know the changes among the people.
There were indeed capable people in the Song Dynasty who noticed the changes among the people, but these people were either involved in the interests of all parties, or they were in low positions and had no say.
Cai Jing and others, for example, also discovered various problems that arise among the people as productivity increases, but they don't care.
Production tools, private productivity, and improvements in finance and taxation were embraced by them with pats on their chests.
They turned these things into their own assets to secure their official positions.
They think this is all their own fault.
It is clear that science is the primary productive force, but the authorities who control productivity do not pay attention to these changes.
With the improvement of productivity, land annexation among the people in the Song Dynasty became more intense.
The phenomenon of sheep cannibalism has occurred one after another.
Over the years, Chen Mu has selflessly provided them with countless good ideas and epoch-making tools such as steam engines and textile machines.
With the emergence of mechanical tools, the structure of folk life in the Song Dynasty underwent major changes.
The cyclical relationship that once existed in rural areas has begun to be readjusted due to the proliferation of industrial products.
The Song Dynasty, which had not experienced an industrial explosion, influenced the upper levels to form a new type of bureaucratic capital monopoly with the officials of the Song Dynasty as representatives and the gentry and generals as the core!
Greedy capital can give rise to the most profitable production relations and can also destroy the inherent social structure.
The increase in industrial productivity could have allowed the people to live a better life.
But in the Song Dynasty, the first people to suffer were the common people.
The prosperity of the Song Dynasty was only a small part of the prosperity.
They are not people who dig the land for food.
Wealth is only concentrated in the hands of a few.
This is also the reason why the Liangshan Chaos was more widespread than in history.
This is also the reason why Gao Qiu did not dare to take risks and killed so many people.
As the productivity of the Song Dynasty improved and grain production increased, the whole Song Dynasty rejoiced for joy.
Even Zhao Ji once went to the Ancestral Temple to worship his ancestors.
But the objective fact is that the people no longer need so many farmers to grow food.
Under the guidance of Chen Mu, the upper echelons of the Song Dynasty were still obsessed with life and money.
They didn't know that disaster was coming.
Chen Aiguo brought money to buy the prisoners' labor force, which was like a spiritual light lighting up Gao Qiu's heart.
He thought of strategies on how to deal with refugees and prisoners.
This strategy will definitely win the support of the Song Dynasty’s top management!
Upon hearing Gao Qiu's inquiry, Chen Aiguo said with a simple smile: "Please rest assured, Lieutenant, we are responsible for building workshops and dormitories, and we are also responsible for providing prisoners with food and grass. The supervisors are naturally officers and soldiers! We can use the labor income generated by these prisoners in three ways.
Seven points!”
Hearing the distribution of Sanqi, Gao Qiu laughed loudly: "Good, great good! This can not only perfectly solve the life problems of more than 100,000 guilty people, but also provide considerable tax revenue to the court. This is very feasible."
Chunfeng Caravan has long established a good cooperative relationship with Gaoqiu.
Everyone benefits from each other and everyone makes money.
The future of more than 100,000 condemned people was generously sold to the Dongfeng Caravan.
From Gao Qiu’s point of view, this wave is not a loss!
He did not kill the rioters, and not only did he not bear the reputation of brutal murder, but he also allowed them to survive mercifully.
The surviving people will also provide the local area with a large amount of taxes.
And this method can be replicated and promoted.
There have been a lot of refugees among the people in recent years, and they can force these refugees into the factory.
The news that the Chunfeng caravan was being taken advantage of by paying the money quickly spread back to Bianjing.
"My dear friends, what do you think?" Zhao Ji asked after looking at the treatment of the guilty people.
"Report to the officials, this can be done!" Dong Guan was the first to respond.
While attending this court meeting, he saw the gift Gaoqiu gave him and the prospect he mentioned.
"This is a great good thing!" Cai Jing was also bribed by Gao Qiu.
Seeing that his confidants all agreed, Zhao Ji also stroked his beard and nodded: "Then just do what Captain Gao said!"
Zhao Ji seems that not killing the rebels will allow him to gain prestige, earn a lot of money, and at the same time get a production workshop for the precious glazed mirror.
The glazed mirror was a luxury item and was in short supply during the Song Dynasty.
If Glazed Mirror could establish a workshop in the Song Dynasty, they would be able to master these technologies in the future.
It's worth sharing some profits with these businessmen!
Long-term business, very cost-effective!
Then, the treatment of these people was quickly passed to Liang Shanbo.
The people all cheered for joy after hearing the news.
They survived.
The Song Dynasty rebelled and wanted to kill the nine tribes. Although the people became workers, they could at least save their lives.
Moreover, these people from the Chunfeng Caravan said that as long as they work hard, they can provide them with food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Seeing that this proposal was approved, uu Kanshu www.uukanshu.com Chen Aiguo showed a confident smile on his face.
A thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant nest.
The demise of the Song Dynasty officially sounded the clarion call!
This action is to achieve progress in industrialization.
Even though they paid dozens of boxes of artificial pearls and tons of aluminum coins, these things are not worth mentioning to them.
Killing the bandits in Liangshan and making them free workers is just the beginning.
They believed that the top management of the Song Dynasty would squeeze all the value out of the workers.
In the name of justice, it is the dream of capital to obtain the labor wages of prisoners for free.
Without the supervision of the regulatory system, this operation was a disaster!
The people in the Chunfeng Brigade thought in their hearts that the hammer and sickle would be ready to be wielded soon, and then they conscientiously helped the Daisui people build houses.
At the end of the fourth year of Daguan in the Northern Song Dynasty, the resettlement work of more than 100,000 rebel bandits in Liangshanbo was proceeding in an orderly manner.
The guilty people who had escaped with their lives worked very actively after having enough food and drink.
It only took seven days to build the temporary shelter.
Within three months, the glass mirror factory was established.
In addition to Liulicongfang, other supporting factories were also established one after another.
As the factory got on track, Daisui people began to use almost free labor to produce various industrial supplies.
These industrial supplies were either purchased at high prices by the Dongfeng Caravan, digested internally by the Song Dynasty, or sold to surrounding countries.
In this way, the Song Dynasty obtained a large amount of money effortlessly.
When Zhao Ji, who went to a brothel to listen to music, learned that one hundred thousand prisoners actually provided him with a lot of money, he smiled and rewarded him...
