Chapter 939

Wei Benren was dead, dying in a daze, and his head was cut off and hung on the flagpole.

It is easy to call out the word rebellion, but if you really get the team up, what to do next? Tongshan has no score. He can only rely on his only little historical knowledge and even stories in opera to direct his men.

He needed a lot of soldiers, and it was not difficult. Caokou had countless young and strong people, and there were so many thugs raised by landlords from aristocratic families, green-skinned scoundrels, unemployed refugees, and they recruited them at will, and they gathered tens of thousands of people.

But there are so many people who need food, drink, weapons, and military pay. Tongshan used to think that he was quite rich, but his little money was not enough.

Moreover, rebellion is to make money and become the king. How could he be willing to use his own money to fill the hole?

There is nothing else, there is only one way left, that is to grab it!

In addition to looting the official warehouses in Huzhou, they robbed the manors and warehouses along the canals, as well as many landlords and gentry, which were also impacted.

This is probably something that those aristocratic families could never have imagined. They had just revolted and had not done anything to the court yet, but they were hit first... There was no way out. After all, there was nothing in the family of ordinary people. Only gentry and landlords had money and food!

Just like all uprisings in history, once they are launched, they must strive for the support of farmers who have an absolute advantage in the number of people. The best way to get the support of farmers is to equalize the fields! It is to exempt from heavy taxes and all kinds of labor...

Is it ironic?

The aristocratic family released the Cao Gang and wanted them to cause trouble for Wang Ning'an, but who knew that the first fire actually burned on themselves, perfectly interpreting the shooting of themselves in the foot!

Tongshan is not willing to be merciless. He targeted Suzhou. As long as he took Suzhou, he would have countless wealth and countless people. Even if the court came to kill him, he would not be afraid!

"Brothers, listen to me. Let's go into Suzhou and grab money... money and grain... rob girls!"

After a little silence, they immediately attracted thunderous cheers. The chaotic team rushed towards Suzhou. They were talking and laughing, excited, and were completely immersed in joy, as if they were going to a temple fair, rather than killing their heads!

...

"Prince, rebelled, they rebelled!"

Chen Shunzhi held 800 miles in his hand and felt a little excited in his words. Yes, he was just happy.

Without chaos or control, the forces in the southeast are mixed, like a cancer. If you don’t make a big deal, you will not be able to get a knife. Now the time has finally come!

Wang Ning'an also slapped his thigh, feeling relieved.

In fact, what he lacks in to deal with the Southeast is just an excuse. Now that there is a rebellion, he will implicate whoever he wants to, and burn the fire to whoever he wants to!

Finally, it is time to make drastic and radical reform!

"According to the plan we agreed upon, implement it immediately!"

"clear!"

Chen Shunzhi nodded immediately and went down to make arrangements.

First of all, Wang Ning'an announced to the public that the Cao Gang was in chaos and misleading the creatures, and all Caokou personnel participated in the rebellion and were executed immediately. If they could automatically break away from their relationship with the Cao Gang and register at the yamen, they could be exempted from the guilt. If they counterattacked, they would get rid of the senior leaders of the Cao Gang and get rewarded.

At the same time, Wang Ning'an pushed out more than 3,000 Cao Gang personnel arrested these days and sentenced them to death!

Then he sent personnel to seize the business under the Cao Gang. In addition, all merchants and gentry who had contact with the Cao Gang were facing investigation.

Wang Ning'an also made a trick, and he blocked the bank, Jiangnan Bank, Huilian Bank, and more than a dozen banknotes, but no one of them ran away!

This move is too ruthless!

After Wang Ning'an founded the Royal Bank, various places rushed to follow suit. The Southeast economy is prosperous, with strong financial resources and many wealthy merchants. Jiangnan Bank and Huilian Bank are the two leading companies. Behind Jiangnan Bank is the Qian family, while Huilian Bank is the monk from Lingyin Temple.

Banks involve countless businessmen and families, and even ordinary people deposit money in them. Even if the crazy people are not afraid to touch the bank.

When several major families were planning, they had imagined that Wang Ning'an would take action and formulated a strategy to deal with it. However, they never expected that Wang Ning'an would seal the bank directly and directly ask the bank to hand over all relevant accounts, without any room for negotiation. Wang Ning'an, are you really thinking about chaos in the world?

Qian Ying could no longer bear it, so he led a dozen officials to rush directly to the imperial envoy headquarters.

"We want to meet the King of Xiliang, let us in!"

They shouted, and at this time Chen Shunzhi walked out of the room. Seeing them, he laughed, "It turns out they are all sirs. The prince has been waiting for a long time. Please come in!"

Qian Ying didn't expect to see Wang Ning'an so smoothly. He was a little hesitant, but he didn't allow him to think too much. He could only follow everyone to the living room inside. What's strange is that Wang Ning'an was not there.

"Everyone, the prince will come soon."

Chen Shunzhi turned around and left, waiting for less than a quarter of an hour. Someone came, but it was not Wang Ning'an!

But Zhang Dun!

He surrounded them with dozens of guards!

Zhang Dun smiled ferociously, and he announced loudly, "What is the Cao Gang? Who is Tongshan? He has been entrenched in the southeast for decades, gathering tens of thousands of people, pulling flags to rebel, and rebeling the Song Dynasty. He has a serious crime and the world cannot tolerate it! As a court official, you have failed the favor of the holy grace, missed the supervision and duty, and now you are obstructing the court to deal with the rebels. What is your intention?"

Before Qian Yan and others answered, Zhang Dun continued: "Heaven is kind and does not want to start a prison and commit crimes of killing, but you are ignorant and incompetent, ruining the country, and have ulterior motives, colluding with bandits, and committing numerous crimes. You are dismissed immediately and handed over to the Ministry of Justice for prosecution!"

"What?"

Qian Yan shouted at the top of his voice, "I am not convinced. I am a chief official of the court. There is no imperial edict or evidence. Why did Wang Ning'an fabricate it out of thin air and frame me? I want to submit a report to the court to clarify the injustice!"

Zhang Dun shrugged, "Whatever, but you can't leave now!"

"Grasp!"

With a command, the guard rushed up, arrested all of these people, tied them up, threw them into zongzi, and waited for investigation.

Now things in the Southeast are in chaos, and Wang Ning'an has no time to deal with them.

"Brother Jiefu, Jiang Ning will be handed over to you first. I want to lead troops to quell the rebellion!"

Wang Anshi immediately nodded, "Please rest assured, investigate the Cao Gang, and investigate the relevant officials and families. I will never be lenient. Anyone who is involved in the rebellion will be dead!"

Wang Anshi knew the whole situation. Wang Ning'an just explained a few words and mobilized 10,000 elite soldiers, left Jiangning, and rushed straight to Huzhou.

On the way, they happened to meet the troops sent by Tongshan to attack Guangde Army, almost 5,000.

This was a conflict that was not even a battle. It was just a meeting, and the neatly queuing guns killed the bandits in the front row. The people behind were frightened and suddenly scattered.

These people are nothing, but the weapons they left behind aroused Wang Ning'an's interest.

"Prince, these are all standard weapons from the court. Can you see that this saber was made by a military factory in Hebei!"

Wang Ning'an nodded, "Transfer my order to thoroughly investigate all yamen, especially those who manage the armory. Any abnormal mobilization that causes the armour to fall into the hands of the bandits, will be dealt with as the thief... kill!"

Wang Ning'an completely revealed his hideous side!

Although he is still a bit morally clean and unwilling to be a butcher, things force you to do!

The power of the Southeast family is too great, and they no longer have any scruples. They can do anything. If all the forces are completely eliminated, the Song Dynasty will never have peace!

Wang Ning'an began to comprehensively suppress the crime from all aspects... The bank investigation pointed to the big family, the officialdom rectification, and the goal was also them, as well as the implementation of the distribution of land and clearing out the rioters of the Cao Gang... In short, the battle between him and the aristocratic family has been fully launched.

No more hesitation!

Just when Wang Ning'an sent troops, Zhang Yun sat in the yamen in Suzhou, and his temples were sweating coldly before he knew it.

Just a quarter of an hour ago, he received news that He Tianshou was dead and chopped off by random knives, not even a complete body, and the rebels were already rushing to Suzhou to kill.

There were only one thousand men around Zhang Yun, and there were many xiang troops in Suzhou, but these xiang troops would not listen to his orders at all. On the contrary, these xiang troops would even help the rebels and kill him in turn!

Zhang Yun knew how bad his reputation was. As long as it fell into the hands of the rebels, he would never end up!

It is cheap to chop into meat sauce. The most terrible thing is that life is worse than death, and being tortured alive! He is in charge of the prison and has seen too many of it. If the rebels really come, perhaps death is also a good choice. Just like He Tianshou, if he dies, he may still be able to remember his merits and posthumously award him an official position after the court quells the rebellion. In that case, death is worth it!

Didn’t Zhang Yun think about running away?

Of course he thought about where he could run. If he lost Suzhou, the court would not be able to spare him. And if he ran out, there were enemies everywhere, how could he escape safely?

Instead of being cowardly and dying of confusion, it is better to be more heroic like He Tianshou!

Anyway, I have lived a solid life during this period, so there is nothing scary!

Zhang Yun seemed to be drunk, exuding a strong madness!

"Sir, the outside of the yamen is surrounded!" The guards reported to Zhang Yun.

Zhang Yun was stunned, "Here is coming so fast? There is no fighting at all! Brothers, run away, I'll go out and give them this head!"

The guards were amused and crying, "Mr. Zhang, you made a mistake. It was the people. There were almost 3,000 civilians entering the city in the surrounding villages and towns. I don't know how many people will follow up!"

"What?" Zhang Yun asked silly: "What are they doing?"

"I don't know either. If you go out and have a look, maybe you will know!"

Zhang Yun rushed out of the yamen immediately... Sure enough, it was dark outside, and it was all the people! When they saw Zhang Yun coming out, they all knelt down.

"Sir, please give the order quickly and fight with them!"

"That's right, whoever dares to touch our fields will kill him!"

"Protect Lord Zhang!"
