It is said that Chen Wenzhao, the governor of Yunzhou, faced the problem of public land which was different from that of Jeju. It turned out that since the formation of Boji in Liangshan, the Yellow River flooded many times, the water surface changed several times, the number of acres increased and decreased, and the land deeds were quite chaotic, which was the case for public land.

The law of recovery was about to be implemented, and the public land increased a lot, and the people's resentment increased even more. Chen Wenzhao was not a treacherous official, and he had all kinds of tricks. He had no choice but to avoid the important and take the easy and make a fuss about the lake. One thing is that the products in the lake are miscellaneous taxes.

It is temporary, and the collection is not much at a time, and the livelihood of the people of Yunzhou is not greatly affected. On the one hand, Yunzhou occupies a small lake area, and there are few fishermen in the state. Making trouble in the lake is also a way to blame Jizhou, and there is no other way. But Song Jiang Chao Gai

Since they openly resisted the officials, Yunzhou could not take the water pool into official property, nor could it collect the tax from the water, so it was really difficult to deal with the situation. At the time of the dilemma, the emperor issued an edict, and Yunzhou was promoted to Dongping Prefecture.

, the governor was replaced by Cheng Wanli, Chen Wenzhao was transferred from outside, and he just gave up this difficult choice. This was the first year of Xuanhe.

Chen Wenzhao came from a serious imperial examination background, was honest and capable, and cared about the people. Although he made a big show of confiscating public land, he was superficial inside. Cheng Wanli was very different from him. He was originally just a doorman under Tong Guan's sect, and he had always been just a clerk.

He knew how to flatter people. When he first became the governor of Dongping Prefecture, he heard that the brothers Chao Gai and Song Jiang were revolting and that the taxation of public lands around the lake was not flowing smoothly. They gathered in Liangshan Po and even attracted the people of nearby Dongping Prefecture to resist taxes and donations. They were very angry. But Chao Gai and Song Jiang's group

He was very brave, but he didn't dare to go and clear it out on his own, so he wrote an emergency document and reported it to Tong Guan.

Seeing the emergency, Tong Guan knew that both Chao Gai and Song Jiang were from Jezhou, so he had some concerns and was not in a hurry. He invited Cai Jing and Gao Qiu to discuss it together. How do you think Cai Jing, Tong Guan and Gao Qiu get along with each other? Tong Guan was originally a eunuch.

, with a charming and charming nature, he first served as an enshrinement officer. In Hangzhou, he collected calligraphy and painting masterpieces for Emperor Daojun, and helped Cai Jing become prime minister. Later, Cai Jing recommended him to be the supervisor of the Northwest Army, leading the Privy Council. He held military power for more than ten years, and his power was transferred to both internal and external parties.

Cai Jing was called the "gongxiang" and the "lady prime minister". Gao Qiu was originally a schoolboy of Su Shi, and later the privy ministers all accepted the decree of Wang Shen. Because he was good at Cuju, he was favored by King Duan Zhao Ji. After King Duan came to the throne, he became an official

When it came to the three divisions of Yitong in Kaifu, Cai Jing was very talented. Wang Anshi, Zhang Dun and Sima Guang all said they were talented. However, because he borrowed the power of Tong Guan, Zhu Meng and others to serve as prime minister, there were many twists and turns.

Then he relied on treacherous ministers such as Wang Fu, Liang Shicheng, Gao Qiu, Yang Jian, and Li Yan. He tried to introduce new laws, but nothing was achieved, and his character was no longer preserved.

The emperor of the Song Dynasty has always directly controlled the establishment, mobilization and command of the army. His military power is divided into three parts: "The Privy Council is in charge of military registration, Hufu, and the three yamen are in charge of the armies. They lead the ministers to take charge of the troops, and each has its own defense." At this time,

It was Tong Guan who was in charge of the Privy Council, and Gao Qiu, who was the Taiwei, in charge of the three offices. Cai Jing was the chief official of the Taishi, and the Song Dynasty had always used civil servants to control military affairs. Now he wants to ask the emperor to send Zhang Shuye to conquer. Cai Jing and Shuye have a relationship

In the old days, Kuang got along well with Tong Guan and Gao Qiu, so he invited them to discuss matters.

Zhang Shuye had been fond of talking about the art of war since he was young. When he grew up, he was appointed as the official secretary of Lanzhou and joined the army due to his father's influence. He followed Zhang Dun and Shen Kuo to fight against Xixia. The two saw that he was brave and good at shooting, and they trained and supported him, and also learned

The tactics of the Nine Armies were made by making iron-armed bows. Tong Guanzhi's uncle Ye was a famous general in the army and was powerful in the northwest. Cai Jing was also familiar with Zhang Dun because of him, but he was also impeached by his younger brother Zhang Kegong and was angry with him, but he had some faults.

.

The three of them petitioned the Emperor Daojun to order Zhang Shuye, the Yin of the Prefecture of Jezhou, and the military officer of the current dynasty to collect a thousand forbidden troops under his control, and jointly annihilate Chao Gai and Songjiang River.

Zhang Shuye received the emperor's order to exterminate, and he came with the arrival of a thousand forbidden troops, secretly committing trouble. At present, the court is fatuous, treacherous ministers are in power, and bad governance is rampant. There are many people in the world who are revolting, and they all have reasons. But the emperor's order is half of it.

There is no disobedience, the extermination is imperative, and there is no room for hesitation. He thought: "Song Jiang and others have gathered hundreds of people. We have Xiang soldiers. There are more than 5,000 rural soldiers. The imperial court sent a thousand forbidden troops and some bandit soldiers."

, everyone in the imperial court also values ​​​​it."

It turns out that the general method of war has been implemented since Xining, and generals are still set up to command the troops in Jeju. They train on the spot during peacetime and accept deployment during war. It was originally a good strategy to "make the soldiers know their generals and train their soldiers." Zhang Shuye came to Jeju for two years.

Xiang soldiers and rural soldiers had been trained many times by themselves, and the dispersion of the wandering soldiers had greatly improved. So they agreed to fold Kecun, and the state's soldiers and horses were supervised in Huang'an, and another two thousand strong Xiang soldiers and rural soldiers were assigned to join them.

A thousand forbidden troops were deployed to encircle and suppress them.

Uncle Ye allocates a thousand local soldiers to Dongxi Village, Songjiazhuang, etc. to arrest Chao Gai and Songjiang's hometown to seize the traitor's family members, secretly asking them to act cheaply. Why do you think Uncle Ye arranged this? It turns out that Uncle Ye thought about Chao Gai and Song Jiang.

The revolt to resist taxes does not mean to rebel against the imperial court and change the dynasty. The blame for the crime can be large or small. Speaking from a small perspective, there are many people revolting over taxation in various places. It is difficult to blame everyone under the law, and it is indispensable to calm down the troubles; from a big perspective, anti-tax rebellion

, he could kill all the nine tribes. Uncle Ye didn’t want to capture the villagers and massacre them, but he came from the northwest frontier defense Zhejia Army. He had an old relationship with Uncle Ye, so he was instructed to act according to the situation. If necessary, he could try to be more generous.

His thousand soldiers are all local children, so Kecun can use his methods secretly.

He could deposit a thousand soldiers from the Jeju Prefecture and go to Songjia Village, Songjiang's hometown. The village was not big, and most of them had the Song surname. As soon as the officers and soldiers arrived, they immediately surrounded them and arrested them one by one according to the household registration list given by the local government. There were actually many of them.

.Zhe Kecun was greatly surprised, and it was the same when he went to Chao Gai's hometown in Dongxi Village. Chao Gai, Song Jiang and others rebelled against the government. This is a serious crime. Everyone in the family should know it. How can they act like nothing has happened and not escape?

Is it against common sense to just surrender? It turns out that although the families were dissatisfied with what the government did, they did not want Chao Gai's brothers to start an uprising, but they could not control it and did not follow them, so they had to resign themselves to fate. Not to mention that the campaign was not very powerful and prestigious.

Ke Cun couldn't help but secretly take a breath and said to himself: "Fortunately, Mr. Zhang has made arrangements in advance. It will be very difficult to catch these many common people. They cannot be killed or let go." He ordered the soldiers to surround the family members in their respective villages and wait for Mr. Zhang to conquer them.

We will make a decision after Liangshan is defeated. The soldiers are all local men. Since they have orders, they just surround them and do not move rashly.

Besides, Zhang Shuye led the remaining 2,000 troops and horses and more than 300 large and small warships at night. They marched along the Wuzhang River into the water park for 800 miles, and approached Liangshan to conquer. There are many hills in Liangshan, although it is not a high and dangerous place.

, but surrounded by water, with lush mountains and forests, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and hanging alone in the water with a radius of 800 miles, it is indeed a good place for roaring gatherings.

The officers and soldiers' warships were traveling about three miles away from Liangshan. There seemed to be no movement on the mountain, and there was no sign of confrontation. Shu Ye ordered them to spread out in a circle to form a siege. Shu Ye picked up twenty more large ships and separated out 500 forbidden troops.

Huang An, the supervisor of Ma Du, led the troops towards the mountain village at the north entrance of Liangshan Mountain, serving as an outpost to explore the truth first.

Huang Dujian was directing everyone to move forward when suddenly there were ships shaking violently one after another in front of him. Liangshan Bo was originally formed by the Yellow River bursting and overflowing. The water bottom around Liangshan was very shallow. Shu Ye had known this for a long time and had discussed the matter with Shi Wenbin, the magistrate of Yuncheng County, before he came.

, there were also guides who personally came to point out the depth of the channel, and had already given instructions to the generals. Huang An knew that this was strange, so he didn't care, and asked the soldiers to explore in the water. It turned out that someone had thrown rocks and planted wooden stakes, so he

Pieces were moved. I couldn't help but smile to myself: "With all these tricks, how can you show that you are resisting the enemy?"

After a little effort, the entrance of the village gradually came closer, but there was still no movement. Huang An thought to himself: "Liangshan doesn't know what medicine is sold in the gourd, so is it an empty city strategy? I have also passed the battle formation, so I won't leave just because I'm scared.

.These bandits are just a few people from the countryside. They are lawless with a little force. Three to five hundred people dare to provoke the government and despise the court. They really don’t know how high the sky is." Huang An led five hundred people to get off the boat and came from the north.

The entrance to the village went straight to the main village of Hutou Peak. There were tall trees along the mountain road, the path was narrow and rugged, and there were no soldiers guarding it. Huang An didn't care either, thinking that the bandit soldiers might have been frightened and ran away because of the strong force of the officers and soldiers.

Chao Gai secretly laughed at Song Jiang's great reputation, his small courage, and his foolish behavior.

There was no sign of Liangshan people on the entire mountain road. The officers and soldiers were marching very fast, and in a blink of an eye they arrived at the entrance of Heifengkou. There were large trees at the entrance. It was midday on a hot summer day. Although the sun was blazing, the ground was full of shade. Everyone was enjoying the coolness of the mountain shade, and suddenly in front of them

Suddenly, two grown men jumped out of the tree, standing in front of them, one on the left and the other on the right. Both of them held a whistle stick in their hands. They seemed to be smiling but not smiling, not angry but not angry. They did not say a word, but looked sideways. On the left

The one with broad shoulders and tall body is Wu Song, and the tall and thin one on the right is Ruan Xiaoer.

Huang An was riding a tall horse, with people and horses behind him. He was very majestic and had nowhere to go, so he jumped forward. No matter who the two were, he pointed with a machete and cursed, "You untouchables don't know whether to live or die, and you actually resist paying the imperial grain and national tax.

If you dare to stop me today, I think you will die."

Wu Song was not angry, and replied slowly: "Our fields were flooded in the early years, and the imperial court exempted us from paying taxes. How can we say that we refuse to pay taxes?"

Then Huang An scolded: "Today, the imperial court wants to collect public land tax and has taken this lake as official property. You don't know that you have to pay the tax, are you deliberately pretending to be stupid?"

Then Ruan Xiaoer shouted: "This lake originally flooded our fields, what does it have to do with public fields? If we turn our own flooded fields into public fields, then the good fields will not be so ruthless."

Huang An said: "Let's talk about this to the imperial court, but the imperial edict of suppression has been issued before us. It's time for you to submit and obey the imperial court's orders, and you may still survive."

Wu Song couldn't help but laugh and said: "If you have the ability, come over and tie me up."

Huang An sneered and said: "Today I don't need any other soldiers, so I will knock you two off with the big knife in my hand." Wu Songzheng didn't want to fight with the officers and soldiers, so he went up to meet him. Ruan Xiaoer looked on coldly and didn't care.

forward.

When Huang An saw Wu Song holding the stick in one hand, looking careless and looking down on him, he was furious and raised his sword to chop Wu Song down. Wu Song saw the big sword approaching, held the stick in both hands to meet it, and blocked the big sword steadily.

After a few rounds, Huang An saw that there was no advantage, and was secretly surprised. He was a martial arts student who had been on the imperial list, and he had been taught by famous teachers and practiced diligently. He often thought that there were too few battles and there was no place for heroes to be used.

The position of the supervisor is too small. I didn't expect that I couldn't defeat an ordinary bandit today. It was so unexpected, and I couldn't help but feel anxious. During the battle, I pulled the horse's rein slightly to the left, and swung the knife in my right hand to chop Wu Song's head. Wu Song's body

With a twist, he hit the knife with the stick, and suddenly stabbed diagonally to the right, but it hit the left front leg of Huang An's horse. He laughed loudly and knocked it lightly with the stick, and the horse's leg was broken. His right hand was not forgotten.
