The officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty have always been fed with money. They have to give money to fight and shoot arrows. So it is natural and normal to run away and pay their opponents a security fee. The Western Army paid 300,000 yuan.
Shi Yi said, "I can't let you go without giving me 1.5 million yuan." The visitor from the Western Army was not angry at all. It was a good thing to be able to negotiate, so the two sides began to bargain, and finally settled for eight.
One hundred thousand dollars to seal the deal.
Of course, the Western Army also had to leave behind some weapons that were bulky and difficult to take away. They planned to leave the entire army lightly, and then go to Kaifeng Mansion to cause trouble to reimburse the money spent and replenish military supplies. This was very difficult.
Shi Yi and Bai Lang also agreed to the Western Army's request not to take Jiang Ning for three months - both left and right were in their hands, so it didn't matter if they just gave the Western Army some face.
The Western Army doesn't care what happens to those big turbans in Jiangning. The current situation is that the civil servants are not as strong as in the past to suppress the warriors - the world is in chaos. The princes in the Kaifeng Mansion have sent people to contact the Kingdom of Jin again, hoping that they will When the Liao Kingdom goes south, do you want to help the Liao Kingdom's retreat? Eunuch Tong Guantong led the Western Army in front of the Liao Army. He is probably the most bloody person in the court. This eggless person is worse than most The scholar-bureaucrats still have a little bit of talent.
"It's just that it's limited after all." Bailang thought as he looked at the money on the cart. If you have money and food, you can take advantage of these three months to rectify the army and horses. Even the internal affairs of the place you occupy now need to be sorted out. This matter doesn't matter.
Bailang's matter. He is paying attention to Liangshan. The Liangshan uprising was so popular before. How could he watch Song Gongming and Ming Juyi Hall defeat the imperial army after they established 108 stars? It was simply arrogant. In the blink of an eye, he actually
I have been trapped in the water in Liangshan Mountain and cannot get out.
During this period, the navy attacked several times in an attempt to break the deadlock, but was thwarted by Zhang Shuye and others and failed. Although there were many Liangshan Demon Stars, there were quite a few of them. There were only about twenty warriors who could actually take the battle.
Among them, there are three armies of horse, foot and water. Especially in the two armies of horse and foot, most of the people who can fight are former imperial officers. They are good at military warfare and are also proficient in fighting against the official army.
After several fierce battles, Zhang Shuye also used a trick, and this trick was indeed vicious - "Is this a strategy to recruit people?" When Bai Lang heard about it, Song Gongming had already sent people to talk to the court, and Zhang Shuye would
This news spread throughout Shuibo Liangshan, and it was very effective in breaking the fighting spirit of Liangshan soldiers. There were also conflicts among the leaders in the mountain. Some of them really did not want to recruit troops - some of them saw it through, while some simply just
I like being a bandit.
Song Jiang wanted to recruit An, and many heroes from his faction were also willing to recruit An to clear his name. At this time, although Chao Gai Shang was already a mascot, Chao Gai himself was a bit hesitant and he didn't want to recruit An. Bai Lang and Shi Yi
Tiangang Star, which ranks very high, is out there, so there is no need to ask them.
Three months passed by in a blink of an eye. This time, Shi Yi had a good harvest of grain on his territory, because he divided the land among the local tycoons, even if it was only ten taxes.
As a result, they received a lot of food and wealth. Moreover, local households also called Master Qingtian, and they were finally able to eat a few meals. "People's hearts are no longer thinking about the Song Dynasty." I don't know which official was appointed.
So said.
Bailang entered Jiangning City, and the city once again opened without blood. The local defenders were not only lacking in numbers, but also had low morale. In the past three months, a lot of old Song officials and dignitaries had fled the city, and even more so.
No one was willing to defend the city. After Bailang arrived with his army, they made a symbolic charge, and the city gate was opened on the opposite side. Every family posted a "submissive citizen" sign, and Bailang indeed did not loot.
The Jin soldiers went south, and the Liao army hurriedly moved north again - the previous Battle of Guarding Dagang almost destroyed all the elites of the Liao Kingdom. Now that the Jin soldiers went south again, the Liao Dynasty was of course very nervous. So the Song Dynasty started to tremble, and in Shandong
Before Liangshan was pacified, Tong Guan was ordered to lead his army northward and attack Yanjing from the north and south with the Jin soldiers. On the eve of the expedition, news of the fall of Jiangning Prefecture also reached Kaifeng Prefecture.
The atmosphere is very sad. This is the most important town in the south of the Yangtze River. From this, it seems that Shi Yi has occupied the south of the Yangtze River and wants to reproduce the story of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Is the Song Dynasty still capable of destroying the Southern Tang Dynasty? It is hard to say, but Xixia is about to be destroyed.
Destroyed. Now that the city of Nanjing has fallen, Zhenjiang cannot be saved, and the Yangtze River Navy of the Song Dynasty is locked up. After that, Su Chang in the south of the Yangtze River cannot be saved, and the entire land of plenty will probably fall into the hands of Shi Yi.
The soldiers in these places had been beaten to pieces by Fang La before, and it was impossible to have the strength to stop Shi Yi's army. Since then, the south of the Yangtze River has been corrupted. If you want to put down the rebellion, where can you mobilize soldiers and horses? It's better to recruit peace. Perhaps
As a high-ranking official, he returned to Kaifeng Mansion with a high salary to raise him, so he was willing to be a warrior. Anyway, it was impossible for the powerful Jiedu Envoy to say anything. So Kaifeng Mansion also sent a special envoy to recruit Shi Yi.
go.
Zhang Shuye of Liangshan launched another offensive. This offensive was so fierce that the morale of the Liangshan army was shattered. The leaders suffered many casualties under the attack of the fierce government generals. Some people were smarter and led a small number of troops to break through to the south.
, running day and night to the place controlled by Shi Yi - these people are Chao Gai and several of his cronies, including Bai Sheng, San Ruan, Liu Tang and others.
There was also a Hua monk who also broke out. After breaking up with Chao Gai and the others, he also retreated to the south. San Ruan managed to get a boat, and after some disguise, everyone took the boat and headed south day and night. After a hard fight, Song Gongming and others
The people had stabilized their position, and now it was time to recruit troops - they wanted to beat Song Jiang before recruiting troops to weaken him, and then the court could use him as cannon fodder, such as to attack the Liao Kingdom.
Song Jiang was appeased, and he was granted the title of a martial arts doctor and a pacifier of Chuzhou. These were all false. Only his heroes and the remaining 40,000 soldiers and horses were real. As for Zhang Shuye, Yun Tianbiao, and Chen Xizhen who conquered Song Jiang,
, Liu Guang and others each had promotions and appointments - they followed the official path of promotion and appointment. They were not as high as Song Jiang, but in fact their future was much better than Song Jiang. Song Gongming only had 40,000 soldiers and horses, and he could still control it.
In my hands, I will have no shortage of wealth in my life.
It's just that being transferred to attack the Liao Kingdom is probably inevitable, and the logistics will be firmly in the hands of the imperial court.
However, Shi Yi and Bai Lang directly rejected the imperial court's offer to recruit people. The person who came to issue the edict was a civil servant named Zhang Kejian. After he read the edict, Bai Lang just laughed, while Shi Yi sneered, "This is a stupid official. If you want peace, come and be peaceful."
