Chapter 1811 The number of ways to rebel and recruit security is far better than that of Song Jiang'
It's not just Fan Ruwei, including his subordinate Ye Tie, and even Ye Tiegu, Lu Biqiang, Lu Bixian, Zhang Gongshou, Xiong Zhining, Xiong Zhiyuan, Yao Da, Rao Qing, Fan Zhong, Zhang Xiong, etc. who have just reported their names.
The rebel leaders seemed to be very sincere and eager. Chai Jin seemed to have thought in his mind: Brother Xiao Tang and Military Advisor Xu had thought carefully, and now they can easily persuade Fan Ru to submit to the rebel army.
I am willing to be used by our army, so I will fulfill my mission...
This Fan Ruwei was originally engaged in selling private salt. At first, he was just an assistant under his uncle Fan Jizhong, who had an honest and kind temperament. However, because the government forced the sale of official salt and hunted down the private salt dealers, everyone's livelihood was cut off. Fan Ruwei was discipled by all the people.
When he was elected as the leader, there were only about fifty people at first. Zhemo, the commander of the state capital, sent his troops and horses to wipe out these bandits and thieves in one fell swoop.
However, Fan Ruwei took advantage of the famine in northern Fujian and first killed the official troops in Jianyang County and Ouning County. However, Fan Ruwei was sent to suppress the troops sent by the commander of Jianzhou, and even controlled the Fujian army.
The tribes under the command of Lu Anping envoy were also defeated by him one after another... The scale of the war increased from small to large. Fan Ru led his troops to win consecutive battles to build momentum, which also taught the surrounding states and counties that they had long lost their livelihood.
The victims who were looking for the victims responded one after another, and the size of the team quickly reached more than 100,000 people. It also caused many men who were hesitating in the green forest to rush to come and surrender. This is enough to prove that Fan Ru, a man with a background of selling smuggled salt, not only has the ability to fight in the battle.
The talent for dispatching and commanding, and the organizational ability to recruit people and respond accordingly are by no means easy to match.
However, in addition to Xu Guanzhong, Chai Jin, Shi Bao and others, Xiao Tang knew very well that the Song Dynasty now also controls Huainan, Jingji, Jingxi and other roads, and even the southern part of Shaanxi roads. According to the trajectory in official history
The territory that will almost be annexed and occupied by the Jin Kingdom in succession, and now there are more forces like Xiao Tang that pose a greater threat to the imperial court. The main force that the Song imperial imperial army can mobilize must go around to suppress and pacify the swarms of enemies everywhere.
On the one hand, they had to rebel against the army and deliberately tried to recapture the large areas of state capitals that Xiao and Tang had occupied. In comparison, Fan Ruwei, who was gathering in northern Fujian, was not the first target that the court must eliminate as soon as possible. After all, the Southern Song Dynasty was relatively peaceful in the official history.
In the southeast corner, how could Fan Ruwei and his group of rebels be allowed to break out of northern Fujian and threaten Lin'an Prefecture, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty?
After a drink and a peck, there is a certain number. The Song Dynasty, whose political center is still in Bianliang, Tokyo, is overwhelmed by dealing with Xiao Tang and other anti-military forces. This also gives Fan Ruwei more room for development. He is not limited to
In the first generation of the founding of northern Fujian, they fought against the official army, but successively broke through the neighboring prefectures, towns and counties, and captured most of the counties under the rule of Jianzhou and Fuzhou in the south. And it was precisely because of another part of the shipbuilding industry of the Song Dynasty.
Located in the center of Fuzhou, most of Fuzhou, where the city's shipping department was set up near the sea, was occupied by Fan Ruwei. This also made it very difficult for Xiao and Tang to send envoys to communicate with the northern Fujian area occupied by Fan Ruwei, or to dispatch troops and horses.
Conveniently (in the official history, Han Shizhong, then the commander of the Shenwu Left Army, was transferred back to Fujian from the anti-golden front line by the imperial court. He first took the waterway to Fuzhou and docked, and then took the mountain trails and immediately captured Jianzhou, which is adjacent to Fuzhou.
The rebels in the territory were at various strategic points. Fan Ru struggled to break through the encirclement, and then burned himself to death. The rebel soldiers and horses under his command were leaderless and fought on their own. From then on, they turned from prosperity to decline and were wiped out one after another). Chai Jin and Shi Bao were together.
Only by following Ti Ji personally was he able to successfully meet and negotiate with Fan Ruwei.
However, the reason why Xiao Tang felt that Fan Ruwei was the most suitable anti-military force to win over at the moment was precisely because he had accepted the imperial court's recruitment in official history.
Among the most powerful anti-military forces, Zhong Xiang has already proclaimed himself the Great Sage Heavenly King, and has established a political power and a country named Chu. Since he has gathered the Manichaeans in Xiangchu and has proclaimed himself the Son of Heaven, he will definitely not be willing to succumb to others.
Next, perhaps in the future, the two sides may temporarily reach an agreement with him to use troops against the Song Dynasty, but since Prime Minister Zhong calls himself the king of a country, he will definitely not be willing to become the leader of a rebel force that belongs to Xiao Tang;
Cao Cheng of Hezhou, who also had more than 100,000 people occupying Daozhou, went south to invade Lingnan and Guangxi areas. It was too far away from the territory controlled by Xiao Tang, and we don’t know the details of his character. If we follow the track in official history as always,
Yue Fei led the direct army, Ma Lao Shi, to go on an expedition to suppress the Song army, and to gain some time and months to wear down the Song army was the greatest role that Cao Cheng could play;
As for Yang Jin, Wang Shan and others who left the military establishment against King Jin Qin and continued to oppose the imperial court after the regretful death of Mr. Zong Zezong, those unruly green forest thieves had already challenged Xiao Tang when they met each other.
I understand that although most of the people who hang out in the Jianghu respect your reputation as a knight, they may not be able to control me. Although they are both hostile forces to the Song Dynasty, they fight on their own terms. At most, they do not interfere with each other. Let alone doing things.
Among the rebel forces that gathered to cause chaos for Lu Xiao, Zhe Mo was the least taboo about the thieves and evil bandits who took advantage of the situation to burn, kill, loot and infringe on the people. Xiao Tang would not hesitate to consider that even if he could benefit the Song Dynasty, he would not be able to deal with Yang Jin and Wang Shan.
When the territories controlled by the various giant bandits came together, they simply used their troops to wipe out this party of thieves who were doing harm to the people. When they were working on both sides of the officialdom, they killed evil thieves as officials, and killed misbehaving officials as thieves. Now, in addition to capturing the golden bandits, they are stupid.
The imperial court is still responsible for eradicating and eradicating the evil bandits who took advantage of the troubled times to commit evil deeds.
Although this Fan Ruwei accepted the court's offer in official history, it was because he "wanted to gain an official position and was afraid of the arrival of a large army" and refused to obey the court's order to divide and disband his troops, so his direct line still resisted the order.
Under the rule of Jianzhou, they were stationed in key passes. However, Song Jiang, who was recruited by the imperial court, led the Liangshan army to conquer Tian Hu, Wang Qing, and Fang La. Instead, they used the official army to eliminate the same rebellion, but they were both in northern Fujian.
After the other rebel soldiers and horses were in different areas and had to compete for living space with each other, they turned to raise the flag of rebellion and continued to carry out their rebellion in the northern Fujian area where the competing forces in the green forest had been completely eliminated.
....
Fan Ruwei's trick of first surrendering and then turning back was full of scheming. Compared with Song Jiang who was blindly loyal after being recruited, he had to endure humiliation and had to be squeezed and flattened by the court.
However, it can also be seen that this rebel leader who was really forced to a dead end and had to lead about fifty people to fight against the government did not have any ambition to found a country and become emperor. The most important thing is that during his temporary recruitment,
It is true that Fan Ruwei still pursued the measures of suppressing the wealthy and powerful households in the countryside and distributing money and food to the poor people. While using the army to eliminate the rebel forces that could not get along with him, he also dispatched troops and other soldiers who had no choice but to rise up.
He communicated secretly, and did not care about the imperial edict offering rewards for the capture and killing of the leaders of various tribes headed by him who were originally recruited. This is completely different from the mentality of the green forest bandits who "want to be an official, kill people and set fires to be recruited", Fan Ru
Because he did not commit the common disease of small peasants who rebelled against him once he gained power, he became complacent and forgot the original intention of the uprising. As for the state and county officials who were captured and arrested during his uprising, there were also some
Fan Ru was entrusted with handling state affairs to take care of the people's livelihood. Compared with other rebel forces, when they captured Song Dynasty officials, they blindly killed them to vent their anger, and did their best to incite hatred between opposing classes among the people, and destroy everything.
The extreme measures used to rebuild social order amidst the ruins are much more sophisticated.
Therefore, among the rebels who now pose a huge threat to the Song Dynasty, according to Xiao Tang's thinking, it is relatively easy to reach a consensus with Fan Ruwei.
After all, in the face of the imperial army's conquest, Fan Ruwei also knew very well that holding on for dear life was not a long-term solution. He would temporarily choose to accept the imperial court's recruitment for temporary expediency. Under this situation, Fan Ruwei also had an urgent need.
With the support of strong external forces, and Xiao Tang taking the initiative to send envoys, for him and even the rebel leaders under his command, it was natural that there was a chance of success and joy fell from the sky.
Now it seems that Fan Ruwei is sincerely willing to surrender...but he still needs to use words to test whether he will really follow the instructions given by brother Xiao Tang and be able to test him with words to restrain the horses and horses.
To implement various measures related to our army's military affairs and people's livelihood... Chai Jin thought in his mind, and when Fan Ruwei was still talking to Shi Bao, he said with a smile: "General Fan understands the righteousness so well, in fact,
Mr. Chai admired him very much, and now we treat each other as our own brothers, supporting each other in times of trouble, and treating each other with sincerity. But there is one thing that must be made clear to Chief Fan: when the Manichaeans in Jiangnan started to rise, it was because of the harsh government of the imperial court and the persecution of the people.
The common people on the road, Fang La gathered a crowd to rebel against the tyranny. But when the people were desperate, they took risks and gathered in groups, some were cheating, others were rebelling. Until Fang La was defeated by the government and the army, military disasters and banditry killed millions of people, but they also
It makes people sigh with regret, but the misfortunes and misfortunes cannot be entirely attributed to those abusive officials... My brother held high the banner of justice for heaven and vowed not to harm the good people. The reason why Chief Fan was able to accomplish this is because
It was also because the suffering people in northern Fujian responded in droves... It was because the imperial court was unjust and we obeyed the people. Since all the heroes are still strong in Fujian and resisted the government and the army, when we came and responded, Jiangnan
Leader Fan must also bear in mind the lessons learned from the Fang La Manichaean uprising and defeat..."
