Chapter 1218 Uprising against tyranny does not mean that you conform to heaven
Zhao Ting, who knew he was going to die, originally wanted to die a happy death, but he was afraid that he would die after suffering all kinds of pain. Since Xiao Tang dared to openly gather a crowd in Hangzhou to oppose the government and the army to fight with each other, it meant that Seeing that he had completely broken up with his former colleagues who were ministers in the same court, as a civil servant, he and Xiao Tang only knew each other's identities and affiliations, but there was no friendship between them. Now it was down to him to lead a group of rebels and rebels. How can one save his life in his hands?
But when he heard Xiao Tang's whispered words, Zhao Ting suddenly felt hope for survival in his heart. He was still loyal to the Song Dynasty court and was unwilling to ask for mercy from Xiao Tang, but he did not stand up. Zhao Ting righteously reprimanded the rebels for their courage to betray the imperial court, so Zhao Ting just nodded quickly. When Xiao Tang saw this, he winked at Shi Xiu beside him. Shi Xiu understood and immediately ordered his subordinates to follow him personally. He stepped forward and untied Zhao Ting, stripped off his official robes, and ordered a leader to keep an eye on the frightened and silent courtier.
When Zhang Shun and Zhang Rong arrived in the city, they found Xiao Tang and other brothers not long after. Then Zhang Shun immediately threw Zhu Meng who had fainted to the ground, and raised his hands to Xiao Tang and said, "Fortunately. In disgrace, this thief Zhu Meng was stabbed in the leg by Brother Zhang Rong, but he drowned and passed out, but he still managed to survive, so he was specially taken to hand him over to his brother!"
The three heroes of the Ruan family and the four dragons of Zhejiang, who were originally guarding and intercepting the water gates at Nanshui, Beishui and other water gates in Hangzhou, had also received reports that Zhu Meng had been captured alive by Zhang Shun and Zhang Rong at Yongjinmen, and each led their troops to join them. Later, when Zhang Shunji said that Zhang Rong had indeed made his own decision, he did not avoid danger and took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the boat and drag the dog official into the lake together before successfully capturing him. Ruan Xiaoer , Ruan Xiaowu and even Cheng Gui and other heroes who were good at water couldn't help but be speechless when they heard this, and Ruan Xiaoqi laughed even more, and stepped forward to pat Zhang Rong on the shoulder and said: "Good boy, I have you! You This little hozen is really smart, and he dares to get on the boat alone to drag the thief Zhu Meng into the water. Originally, I was hoping that this guy would come to the North Water Gate and fall into my hands, but he taught you how to do it. Take this advantage!"
When Zhang Rong saw this, he raised his head and smiled at Ruan Xiaoqi and said: "Brother Qi, this is like pushing the waves ahead in the Yangtze River. Whatever I do in the future depends on my ability, I will already be as good as Yu Tie!"
Upon hearing this, Ruan Xiaoqi immediately faced Zhang Rong and prepared to hit him, and laughed and scolded: "Little Hozen, I only praised you a few times, but I got into trouble with you!"
Zhang Rong chuckled and dodged away. When he looked at Xiao Tang happily, he also harbored a kind of expectation in his heart to be recognized by his sworn brother. However, Xiao Tang thought for a moment and wavered slightly. He shook his head and warned Zhang Rong: "Brother, you have indeed achieved great success this time. However, Xiao Qi clearly taught you to follow Brother Zhang Shun's instructions before, but this time you made your own decisions and luckily took the credit. , but if you are slightly negligent and you are trapped in the boat and cannot be rescued by other people, wouldn't you lose your life in vain? What's more, after several mountains of soldiers and horses join forces to take action, we can no longer rely on the green forest's methods and act on our own initiative. If I teach you to lead alone If you don't obey the general's orders when you are fighting against the enemy, it is very likely that the troops and horses will not be able to coordinate with each other. How can it be child's play to affect the whole body with one move? When leading an army alone, the lives of many brothers will be entrusted to it. In your case, it is also possible that your life will fall into your hands just because of your reckless behavior.
This time we are just trying to catch Zhu Meng in various water gates, but when we lead the troops to attack, although the brothers are affectionate, the military law is strict but there is no mercy. In the future, we should also remember to adapt to changes, which is definitely different from a temporary fever.
Just do your own thing, but you still have to remember."
Zhang Rong, who was waiting for Xiao Tang's praise, seemed to have been poured cold water on him. He was still a little unconvinced at first, but after thinking silently for some time, he could vaguely understand Xiao Tang's intention, and Zhang Rong's expression became clear.
, said: "My elder brother is very clear-sighted. When my younger brother is ordered to do something in the future, I should bear in mind my elder brother's teachings."
Xiao Tang's advice to Zhang Rong also made Ruan Xiaoqi take it seriously. No matter how quick and wanton he was, he was by no means an ignorant fool, so Ruan Xiaoqi listened to it and remembered it.
In his heart, Xiao Tang knew that Zhang Rong had been following the Ruan brothers for a long time, and he was not from the navy, a regular army with strict military discipline, so their methods of doing things were inevitably inclined to the green forest, and Zhang Rong had his own
He had the qualifications to become a famous general who led the naval army to defeat the Jin army one after another. Taking advantage of the fact that he was still young and easily impulsive, Xiao Tang thought that he must be properly beaten to prevent Zhang Rong from developing the arrogant and arrogant temperament.
Seeing that Zhang Rong listened to his persuasion, Xiao Tang also understood that although he did make his own decision this time, he did get a great deal of credit, so he gave a few more words of encouragement. At this time, another burst of rapid footsteps came. Deng Yuanjue
It was also reported that the leader of the navy under Xiao Tang had captured Zhu Meng alive, who had made the people in Jiangnan gnash their teeth with hatred. He also remembered Fang La's instructions to him and hurried over immediately. Deng Yuanjue first looked at him who fell to the ground and was unconscious.
Zhu Meng immediately stepped forward and spit, and cursed angrily: "Bitch thief! It's been a long time teaching you to be domineering and domineering, and finally today is the day!"
After scolding angrily, Deng Yuanjue immediately turned around and said to Xiao Tang: "The heroes under Xiao Renxia's command are really good at it. They didn't teach Zhu Meng, a thief, to escape. According to the agreement with Leader Fang, is it possible now?
Is it time for me to teach this thief who deserves to be cut into pieces?"
Deng Yuanjue was anxious to ask Xiao Tang to hand him over, but Xiao Tang made a gesture and ordered several brothers around him to escort Zhu Meng down, and said to Deng Yuanjue in a deep voice: "Deng Yuanjue, now that Hangzhou City has been taken down,
Ordinarily, we should give orders to the generals to extinguish the fire and at the same time go out to calm the people, so that the innocent people in the city can live a safe life... But now there is still chaos everywhere in the city. Has the Dharma Protector given instructions to you?
You must not take advantage of the chaos to kill good people? Now that I hear the noise from all around, I am afraid that the other leaders of your sect have not restrained their troops."
Just when Xiao Tang and Deng Yuanjue were speaking frankly to each other, a large number of fanatical Manichaeans who entered the city set off a few more fires to burn the city, and many civilians were already killed in the flames. Xiao Tang only heard that the turmoil in all directions was caused by
With the cries of mourning, one can also realize that the chaotic situation in Hangzhou has not only not calmed down, but has intensified.
At the same time, officials such as the Hangzhou government office and even the Liangzhe Road administrative envoy Chen Jian, the honest envoy Zhao Yue, etc. encountered the Manichaeans who had been aroused and became violent, and were immediately harassed by the rebels.
All other things that were caught by the Manichaeans were cut off by the officials and the Manichaeans, their bodies were cut off, their breasts and lungs were peeled off, they were boiled over fire to produce anointing oil, or they were shot into hedgehogs with random arrows... for various purposes.
In order to vent their hatred and intensify the torture, they were performed everywhere in Hangzhou. Finally, they could avenge themselves on those corrupt officials who bullied and exploited them, but this also turned too many Manichaeans into bloodthirsty beasts, and even many people
His eyes turned red, and he looked at the frightened people in the city who were unable to escape. He even showed his butcher knife and rushed forward with a roar...
After Deng Yuanjue heard what Xiao Tang said, his expression couldn't help but become a little unnatural. This Baoguang Tathagata, who had a temperament somewhat similar to Lu Zhishen's and was often quarrelsome with others, was also a little hesitant in his words, and he was also a bit uneasy.
Xiao Tang said: "Most of the brothers in my religion are poor people who have been tortured by tyranny. They naturally hold back endless hatred in their hearts. Now that the rebellion has taken place, they will finally let out a bad breath, and it is inevitable that they will not be able to restrain themselves...
..”
Xiao Tang snorted heavily when he saw this. When he was about to talk to Deng Yuanjue again, he suddenly heard the sound of rapid horse hoofbeats. When Xiao Tang and the brothers around him turned to look at Deng Yuanjue,
Shan Shiqi was seen galloping on his horse. There was still a little blood dripping from the end of the iron rod in his hand. After Shan Shiqi took a look at Xiao Tang, he immediately shouted: "Brother, the Manichaeans are rioting in the city."
, are here to seek our misfortune! We have already had conflicts with some brothers and used knives, losing several lives, and killed more than ten of those guys!"
