After Zhu Meng died, the Zhu family's power network was shattered. This kind of loose interest group was like a tree that fell and the animals dispersed.
Yang Lin reorganized his troops, released all the wealthy households in Jiangnan who were detained by Zhu Meng, and then deposed all the Yingfeng bureaus he had established.
All the functions and powers in the government office were transferred to the Shipping Department under the Long Live Camp. This move not only gained the benefits of daily income, but also once again won the hearts and minds of the people in Jiangnan.
His action of setting up a flag to kill Zhu Meng also caused a commotion in Bianliang. First of all, Cai Jing was a little unhappy, but he could only pinch his nose and swallow his breath.
Zhu Meng's annual bribes are an important source of income for the Cai family. Now that he has caused such a big trouble in Jiangnan, Cai Jing still wants to keep this confidant.
However, he did not expect that Yang Lin, who was also one of his own, would strike so quickly and ruthlessly.
On the first day when his troops arrived in Suzhou, they killed Zhu Meng's family. In Cai's mansion, Cai Jing read a secret letter and snorted heavily.
Cai You added to the jealousy and said dissatisfiedly: "Dad, Yang Wenyuan killed Zhu Meng, Zhu Chong and his son, and gained more than one million. He turned over 330,000 gu to the court. He simply regarded us as stupid people in the market."
.Where is Liangzhe Road? Zhu Meng has been scraping land in this place for more than a year. It is just a garden, and it only costs 330,000 yuan."
He spoke with spit and excitement. The more Cai Jing watched, the angrier he became. He slapped the table and said angrily: "Shut up!"
On the surface, Cai You was recruited by Liang Shicheng, but in fact it was Cai Jing's plan to have him join his political opponents to ensure the wealth of the Cai family.
So when he saw Cai Jing slamming the table, Cai You quickly stopped complaining full of jealousy and said a little unconvinced: "Dad, am I right?"
"You and my father are complaining here, what's the point of making noise after you become a disciple? You are so greedy for Zhu Meng's millions of wealth, why didn't you see the civil unrest in Jiangnan in advance? If you suggested that the two Zhejiang roads will be in chaos, why?
Father can't protect you from accomplishing this great feat?"
Cai Jingyue became more and more angry as he spoke, pointing at his eldest son's nose, and cursed: "I've always been smart, so why did I know how to imitate that woman who talks behind her back when I gave birth to such a stupid son like you? What you should do now is go to Liang Shicheng and ask for help.
He proposed that when the time comes, he will go to Jiangnan to replace Yang Lin as the head coach and seize this huge credit."
Cai You's eyes lit up, he stood up excitedly and asked, "Dad, is this possible?"
"The officialdom is so turbulent and strange. There are no enemies or allies. They are just chess pieces. Yang Wenyuan is my chess piece, and I am also his chess piece. Isn't Master Liang successful? When the time comes, I will take action for my father and talk to Liang Master in person.
He, if you offer him a condition that he can't refuse, why worry about not being able to eat this fruit?" After Cai Jing finished speaking, he pointed at Cai You with hatred and cursed: "You come here to say something bad for petty profit again.
No matter how minor or serious the insult is, my father will break your legs."
Cai You was so happy at this time that he couldn't care less about the grudge in his heart. He quickly smiled and said: "My son knows, my son will leave now."
In the imperial garden, Liang Shicheng was accompanying Zhao Ji on a tour of the garden. While Zhao Ji was admiring the flowers, Liang Shicheng rolled his eyes and stepped forward and said: "Guan family, this camellia is a rare and top-quality camellia. It was dedicated to your majesty by Zhu Ji when he was alive.
.”
Zhao Ji sighed and said: "Yes, Zhu Meng is quite loyal to me, but it's a pity that he does it in public but secretly harms the people."
Liang Shicheng was secretly shocked and withdrew Yang Lin's memorial. How come the emperor still knew what Zhu Meng had done.
"I have been living in the deep palace for a long time, and it is difficult to leave Bianliang. Fortunately, I have Yang Lin and Yang Jian. One is busy with me, and the other is the police department who acts as my eyes and ears."
Detective factory! When Liang Shicheng heard these three words that were a thorn in his side, he felt uncomfortable all over.
The investigation factory set up by Yang Lin and Yang Jian deprived him of a lot of power, making Yang Jian, who had been doing nothing, suddenly become a serious problem for him.
Obviously, the Anti-Security Factory has become a channel for communication between Yang Lin and the emperor. This allows Yang Lin, who is leading the army, not to be alienated from the emperor at all. He can even know what Yang Lin has done every day -
Lijiazhuang outside Wujiang County is a prosperous village. It is now the garrison of Fang Qifu's army. After they occupied Hangzhou, they quickly sent troops to raid the surrounding prefectures and counties, and had initially cleared away the scattered remnants of the Song army.
.
The defenses of these small towns are vulnerable, but they all have one thing in common, which is the wealth of the county government.
Fang La's army was easily supplied with supplies, which made Fang La's army even more powerful.
Fang Qifu was picked up by Fang La on the roadside. He was about to starve to death at that time. After joining the religion, this boy with a lively mind and diligent hands and feet soon became fond of Fang La.
Now that the war has begun, Fang Qifu has repeatedly made military exploits and has become a unique general.
A fat monk walked over from a distance and asked as he walked: "Xiaoqi, how are you? How many reinforcements did the Zhao Guan family send?"
Fang Qifu smiled and replied: "The 50,000 forbidden troops are said to be led by the Young Master Yang Lin."
"Shao Zai? That's not a small official. We killed so many Song troops. Why did we alert 50,000 forbidden troops to come out? They didn't take our grandfathers seriously. This time I cut off the head of Song Shao Zai, but they looked at them
I can’t look down on grandpa.”
Fang Qifo shook his head and said: "I heard King Ming say that the imperial army of the Song Dynasty is not as good as the soldiers we killed. The imperial army is the descendant of the elite soldiers and generals who founded the country."
He glanced at the soldiers around him. These people came from various walks of life, and the largest number were farmers.
The hoes, sticks, and rakes in their hands were all convenient farm tools from the past. These people are now very powerful, which has both advantages and disadvantages.
As long as they experience a disastrous defeat, the morale of these people will be wiped out. They need to keep winning in order to maintain their trust in King Ming and slowly accumulate the courage needed to fight and the belief to withstand failure.
Nowadays, like this great monk, there are many people who extremely despise the Song Army. They hope that they will not meet too powerful characters, otherwise they will not be very optimistic about the future of this rebel army.
At this time in the south of the Yangtze River, it was raining continuously and the sky was often covered with clouds.
Suzhou and Hangzhou are not very far apart. Two completely different armies are polishing their swords and a fierce battle is about to break out.
Far away from them, there was a group of light cavalry, rushing towards the south of the Yangtze River with their horses whipped.
The armor of the knights on horseback, their flags were in tatters, full of arrow holes, and there were knife marks on their armor. But their faces were filled with excitement and looked a little black and red.
The joy of hearing war is something engraved in the bones of the old Qin people.
