When Emperor Jingtai ascended the throne, he first had to deal with the funeral affairs of Emperor Daxing, and then issued a great edict to grant amnesty to the world. After that, even if they hated the second and third sons who had originally opposed him to seize the legitimate son, they could not vent their anger immediately.
, or you have to obediently promote them and issue king titles according to tradition. "Huh? The second brother has just accepted his fate?" Bai Lang saw that the edict stated that the second brother was promoted to the King of Han, the third brother was promoted to the King of Chu, and the fourth brother was promoted to Chengdu.
Wang and the others were also quite surprised when they were promoted.
The second child may have to find a way to protect his body, such as becoming a great scholar - equivalent to a great master. Of course, the second child is smart and has many methods, and there may be other methods. The third child is quite simple, it is easy for him to be safe -
- Just ask yourself to be the king of Sai. There is no Ming Dynasty here, and there are no examples of successful rebellions by vassal kings.
There is no problem with the fourth brother at all. Emperor Jingtai has never regarded this fourth brother as his opponent. Among these brothers, the ones he was most afraid of were the second and third brothers before, but now the fifth brother is Bailang. Bailang's title is still King Jin, that is
It just became a double salary and an additional guard. Emperor Jingtai even gave him a lot of eunuchs and maids in the palace. Anyway, Bai Lang knew that this guy must have taken the opportunity to send a lot of factory guards to monitor him.
After Emperor Jingtai came to the throne, this man couldn't wait to come to the New Deal - the Zhengtong Emperor came to the throne as a young boy and has been the emperor for seventy years now. His people are everywhere in the court and everywhere. How can Emperor Jingtai tolerate this situation, so he
To implement the New Deal, "it's nothing more than replacing a group of people and then promoting a group of people. It can also be said that changing the soup without changing the medicine is just an ordinary personnel adjustment." This is how Bai Lang sees it. The late emperor reigned for more than seventy years.
, the Wu Dynasty has already been riddled with holes. Let Emperor Jingtai come to power and wipe his butt first.
The aristocratic families in the south have teamed up with the imperial court to exploit the local area to the point where the people have no clothes to wear. It can be said that etiquette, justice and integrity have basically disappeared. Of course, they still have etiquette, justice and integrity among themselves, but the people outside who have no clothes to wear,
They were just treated like beasts. So some people rose up and attacked the county seat. When the county magistrate and the aristocratic families in the city wanted to drag people to the city to defend it, almost all the people who were dragged away were unable to work.
Those servants did not dare to tithe and kill the people to restrain their efforts, because they really dared to directly open the city gate and surrender to the "bandits". What this "bandit army" raised was the flag of "doing justice for heaven"
, the leader is Xiang Pang - at this time, Xiang Pang is eight feet long, majestic in appearance, holding a simple sword. This is a hundred-refined sword that he personally collected iron ore and forged by himself.
The handle of the knife is as long as he is, and the whole knife is as tall as him when standing up.
The blade is wide, and if Bailang sees it, he must say that it is a well-made broadsword-style blade. It has a reverse edge that can be picked and stabbed. Since the blade is about one finger thick, the strength of the blade is sufficient. This is
The weight of the knife is quite heavy, but it is nothing to an expert. At this time, Xiang Pang was standing in front of the brothers, looking up at the closed city gate and the official flags erected on the city wall.
"Eat meat and suck bones." The young man said this, and then rushed towards the city wall with huge steps. He spread his hands and saw the simple knife suspended between his palms, and bursts of purple thunder swam around.
On the sword. "Spring thunder bursts!" Xiang Pang yelled, grabbed the handle of the sword with both hands, and with one strike, the sword turned into hundreds of overwhelming thunder, which directly caused the ten-foot-long city wall to collapse into rubble.
When the rebels saw their boss showing off his power, they cheered and went straight in with the weapons they had just refined from the ore. "Surrender without killing!" A thunderous roar resounded throughout the city, and the common people dropped their weapons without hesitation.
The servants were so frightened when they saw the rebel leader's thunder-type martial arts that destroyed a ten-foot-long city wall with one strike that he knelt down and did not dare to move. Xiang Pang easily captured the county seat, killed the county magistrate and officials, and all the aristocratic families in the city were beheaded, with 70% of their wealth
Thirty percent of the rewards received from the army were distributed among the people, while the grain and grass received were 50% equal to that of the people in the county and surrounding villages.
With food, grass and money, the number of rebels swelled again, and in ten days they broke through seven counties and gained more than 10,000 troops. Xiang Pang did not blindly expand his troops, but carefully selected them. He only recruited soldiers from the countryside and counties.
He recruited soldiers from the common people whose fields he had divided, and also selected the strongest people. The next step was to attack Fucheng, and he had already wiped out all the obstacles in the countryside. Although the rich locals claimed to be from aristocratic families, their
The earthen castle could not block his blow at all.
That day when he dreamed of a magical machine, the one he was taught was of course the Purple Thunder Magic Technique. This person was also born to be a good expert in practicing this magical technique. He really learned it once he learned it, and became good at it in a while. I am afraid he will have to innovate and take it further in the future.
Well. This one is only half a step away from being a heavenly being. The progress of this martial arts is simply much faster than Bai Lang.
How could the local general soldier allow such bandits to be so rampant? Moreover, the real aristocratic families in this state also took it seriously. They immediately provided money, food and personnel, and asked the general soldier to lead twelve battalions and multiple guerrilla generals, totaling three
Thousands of soldiers and horses were about to surround Xiang Pang's rebel army in a field battle. The commander-in-chief, Mao Yi, was also a man who knew how to fight. At that time, the thirty thousand soldiers and horses were divided into two, and he personally led the twenty thousand soldiers to intercept Xiang Pang's soldiers.
The horse fought with them, and the guerrilla general Fa Xiao was a surprise soldier. He led ten thousand people to wait for the sound of cannons and then took a detour to attack from the side and rear.
It is precisely because of this that we have to choose a battlefield, and the interception battlefield chosen by Mao Yi is the Yangguan Road leading to Fucheng. There is a mountain and a river at the intersection of this road. The river divides into two roads at the foot of the mountain. One road is Yangguan Road and Yangguan Bridge.
In front of the bridge, there is quite a vast flat land in the shape of a funnel, and the foot of the mountain stretches out, sandwiching the river on one side of the plain. When the road passes here, it naturally forms a gap with a mountain on one side and a river on the other, with a width of only thirty feet.
Mao Yi asked Faxiao's 10,000 soldiers and horses to cross the river first and then cross the river, and arranged them in the hills formed by another river and the mountain. There was no passage here, so few people used it. His own 20,000 soldiers and horses were at Yangguan Road.
They set up camp on the flat ground and prepared to annihilate Xiang Pang's troops in one fell swoop.
In terms of military equipment, he had an advantage, and although his soldiers and horses had no pay - originally the state's general army and the battalion heads in the Ministry of War totaled 47,000 people, now they have joined the private army of local aristocratic families, and the total number is 30,000.
It's just that the weapons and armors of these 30,000 people are complete, and only about eleven of them are crudely made, so they can be regarded as conscientious.
There are advantages in armament and strength, and these are the troops and horses produced by the imperial court. Mao Yi thinks that the same is true in training. Since this is the case, there is no possibility of losing, and he must be killed this time.
It's a good way to repay the favor.
