Chapter 26: Obtaining the heavenly talisman, Fang La takes action
After Fang La watched the hundreds of strong men at the table getting angry, he felt that the time had come and it was time to say what he wanted to say most.
"In the past twenty years, not many of the veterans of the Shenzong and Zhezong dynasties have died.
The loyal ministers in the court were not respected by Zhao officials and were all demoted.
Today, those in power in Chaoyan are all despicable, treacherous, sycophantic, greedy and sycophantic ministers.
But today's Zhao Guan family likes singing and dancing women, painting and calligraphy, worshiping Taoism, collecting flowers and stone outlines, building Genyue, using sycophants and eunuchs, and ignoring government affairs.
Officials in various states and counties outside the capital have become corrupt and extravagant, and their indolence in government has aroused the hatred of the people!
Gentlemen, please think about whether what Fang said is true?"
"What Mr. Fang said is true!" More than a hundred strong men said in unison.
Fang La said again: "I, the people in the southeast, have suffered from the imperial court's excessive taxes and levies for a long time!
In recent years, the imperial court has been transporting flowers and stones to the southeast of our country, intruding the people even more!
Who can bear it?"
Because Fang La was telling the truth, the hundreds of warriors at the banquet, who were drunk and drunk, felt resentful and said one after another:
"What is intolerable?"
"Of course!" Fang La said loudly after seeing that the warriors were aroused by his words and became angry.
"Yesterday, Tengu eclipsed the sun, and everyone saw it.
What does this celestial phenomenon mean?
This proves that today’s Zhao Guan family is so ignorant that even the heavens cannot stand it.
This celestial phenomenon indicates to us that we should respond to God's will, raise the flag of righteousness, imitate Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, and raise troops to attack the Song Dynasty just as he attacked the Qin Dynasty!"
"Ah?!" When more than a hundred warriors heard Fang La's words, most of them broke into a cold sweat. Although they hated the corrupt officials of the Song Dynasty deeply, they heard that Fang La wanted to rebel.
, it actually scared them so much that they woke up a little drunk.
Fang La had prepared these words for a long time. When he saw that these warriors were doubting, he said loudly:
"We raise the flag of righteousness, and the people in various states and counties who have been suffering from these uprisings for a long time will definitely respond to the news!
Within ten days, we can gather tens of thousands of people in She County.
When the officials of Muzhou heard what we were doing, they would definitely send envoys to appease us.
However, we are pretending to be willing to accept the imperial court's offer of peace, so negotiating the offer will definitely take several days.
When the officials of Muzhou and others report to the court about recruiting me and other matters, this delaying strategy can delay the war for at least a month or two.
After receiving the petition, the imperial court cannot immediately decide to send troops. It is expected to be delayed, and the court meeting will take more than a month!
At that time, we can take advantage of this opportunity to conquer the counties south of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop.
And the imperial court did not dare to mobilize the main imperial army in the country to attack our rebel army. After all, there is Xia Kingdom in the west and Liao Kingdom in the north. The imperial court must guard against Xia and Liao, two enemy countries that have been enemies for generations.
If our act succeeds and becomes huge, the Xia and Liao countries to the west and north of the Song Dynasty will also take the opportunity to attack the Song Dynasty after they learn of our uprising.
At that time, the imperial court will be attacked from both inside and outside, and even with advisers like Yi Yin and Lu Shang, there will be no good strategy to deal with it."
More than a hundred warriors all nodded silently, feeling that what Fang La said was reasonable.
Fang La said excitedly: "At that time, as long as we use the Yangtze River as the boundary, guard the south of the Yangtze River, reduce labor, reduce taxes, and restore and develop the people's human and material resources, who from all over the world will not come to worship us respectfully? p>
Within ten years, we will finally rule the world!
At that time, you were all the founding heroes who joined the army, were granted the title of marquis, worshiped the prime minister, and were given the title of wife and son! You could not help but be prosperous and wealthy for a lifetime, and even your descendants would inherit the official titles and enjoy the glory and wealth for all generations!"
When these more than a hundred poor warriors heard the fragrant pie that Fang La drew for them, their eyes showed greed and hope...
However, most of them are still somewhat rational.
They know that if the uprising succeeds, they can enjoy glory and wealth for all eternity as Fang Gong said, but what if the uprising fails?
Maybe he will be killed?
At this time, Fang La said again: "If we don't take action, we will die, and we will die in vain at the hands of corrupt officials. All brave men, think twice before you act!"
"Brother, what are you still thinking about?" A heroic woman took the lead and stood up to 'question' and shouted.
This woman is none other than Fang La's sister Fang Baihua, who has been practicing martial arts since childhood.
"I support my brother in doing great things!" Fang Baihua said excitedly, "You heroes, are you not as good as me, a female figure?"
The more than a hundred warriors at the banquet did not dare to answer Fang Baihua's words. They knew that Fang Baihua, who had been practicing martial arts since childhood, had a fierce personality and excellent martial arts. No one in or outside the village dared to offend her.<
/p>
At this time, Fang Baihua said loudly:
"Ten thousand plus a little, you will be honored at the end of winter.
Crossing the Zhejiang River, he showed his signs in Wuxing."
"Everyone, have you ever heard of such a nursery rhyme?" Fang Baihua asked.
"I have heard of it." One of the strong men replied, "This nursery rhyme has been sung by children in our village and neighboring villages for more than several months."
Fang Baihua smiled slightly and said: "Everyone, please think about this nursery rhyme carefully.
Shiqian is a metaphor for the word "ten thousand". Adding a little bit becomes the word "square", and the word "winter" is the word "ra".
The word "Zunzun" means to be king in the south. It can be seen that this nursery rhyme reflects my elder brother Fang La, who is destined to be king in the south."
These poor people are usually the most superstitious. When they heard what Fang Baihua said was very reasonable, they couldn't stop nodding their heads.
Fang La took the opportunity to say: "Yesterday, the Heavenly Dog ate the sun. When the sky and the earth were dark, I saw a golden light falling from the sky.
When I looked down again, I saw that golden light lying on the ground in front of my feet."
As Fang La spoke, he took out a palm-sized golden talisman from his arms, which was covered with strange lines and incomprehensible talismans...
Fang Baihua supported: "The Tong Yao sung by many children, as well as the golden talisman given by God yesterday that my brother received, all prove that my brother is an angel.
My brother will lead you to do this, and it will definitely succeed!"
Even if these more than a hundred warriors tried to reason with them, they would not understand or become suspicious.
However, using superstition and other means, these strong men who came from poor backgrounds and have not seen much of the world are very fond of this trick.
"We are willing to follow Mr. Fang to do something!"
"We are willing to follow Mr. Fang to do something!"

Fang La and the other warriors raised the wine bowl together, drank the wine in one gulp, and then smashed the empty bowl to the ground.
In accordance with the decree of Shenggong Fangla, they picked up farm tools such as dung forks, hoes, hatchets, etc., and rushed to the courtyard of Li Zhengfang Youchang in the village, who had always had a personal grudge against Fang La...
