Kang Wang Zhao Gou originally thought that Feng Zhiqian could easily overthrow the Xu Mansion with 30,000 mighty troops.
Unexpectedly, Feng Zhiqian not only failed to bulldoze Xu Mansion, but was swallowed up by Xu Mansion.
The small Xu Mansion can actually make three mighty troops disappear without a trace, and among these thirty thousand mighty troops there are three thousand mighty guards.
The Three Thousand Martial Guards are all awakened ones, they are the guards of Kang Wang Zhao Gou's house, and all of them are extraordinary in strength.
It can be said that if Zhao Gou was given a choice, Zhao Gou would rather have three thousand military guards than three hundred thousand mighty troops. The reason why he gave it to Feng Zhiqian was because Feng Zhiqian was one of the confidants he cultivated and wanted to use it to cultivate his own power. .
In order to seize the direct heir, King Kang Zhaogou secretly trained 30,000 military guards. On the surface, there were only a few thousand guards in the Kang palace. The other military guards were scattered among the major armies of Da Chu.
Feng Zhiqian was one of the Wu Zhiwei secretly trained by Zhao Gou. He had been in the Wuwei Army. Although his leadership ability was average, because he was good at conduct, knew how to flatter and flatter, and was an awakened person, he rose quickly and quickly became the Wuwei Army. The deputy capital commander.
Fang Zihao was killed by the invincible life-killing card. The opportunity for Feng Zhiqian to ascend to the throne came. Kang Wang Zhao Gou thought that he could easily help him ascend to the throne, but unexpectedly, Xu Xian was not an ordinary doctor.
Originally, Zhao Gou's idea was to only lend three thousand military guards to Feng Zhiqian for use. After Feng Zhiqian completely took control of the Wuwei Army, only dozens of them were left who integrated into the Wuwei Army and held important positions, and the others were withdrawn at the appropriate time.
After doing this several times, the entire Jiangnan army became Zhao Gou's private army without knowing it.
Unexpectedly, the first time he took action, he stole the chicken but failed to lose the rice.
The loss of 30,000 powerful troops must not be known to Chu Huizong and the officials in the court, and they need to find a way to cover it up.
Bullying one's subordinates and concealing one's superiors, repaying one's merits but not one's faults is the way to survive in the officialdom, and it is also the basic quality of a good official in Dachu.
Zhao Gou summoned his men to discuss countermeasures.
Wang Lun proposed a plan to transfer some people from various armies, recruit troops, and reorganize the Wuwei Army. As long as people were placed in important places, the Wuwei Army would truly become Zhao Gou's private army.
In this way, it can be said to be a blessing in disguise.
Zhao Gou thought this plan was very clever, so he adopted it.
Da Chu can be said to be suffering from external troubles and internal troubles. External troubles include Liao and Xixia. Internal troubles are caused by peasant uprisings in various places, which are constantly springing up like bamboo shoots after a rain.
The south of the Yangtze River was prosperous, a land of plenty, and the main source of economy for Chu. Heavy troops were stationed in Jiangning, Zhenjiang, Suzhou, Songjiang, Hangzhou, Shaoxing, Ningbo and other areas.
In an emergency, Chu Taizu Zhao Kuangyin launched the Chenqiao Rebellion and established the Great Chu.
Because he was a military general, he led his troops to launch a mutiny and seize power in the Later Zhou Dynasty. At the same time, in order to avoid the recurrence of feudal separatism, he formulated a series of policies to weaken military power.
The first step after Taizu of Chu established his political power was to remove the power of the generals and military envoys of the Forbidden Army, return the general power to the central government, and establish three divisions, making the Forbidden Army important but without command power.
The Forbidden Army was subordinate to the Privy Council and was under the direct control of the emperor, who also sent many literati to participate in the administration of the army. This leads to the result that "the soldiers don't know the generals, and the generals don't know the soldiers."
At the same time, Zhao Kuangyin knew that military generals could seize power at any time, and that only by reusing literati can the long-term stability of the country be ensured. Therefore, he advocated reading and learning, and implemented the policy of "emphasis on literature and suppression of military affairs", which pushed literati to unprecedented heights.
The generals of Da Chu were already safe, but Chu Huizong was still worried and sent King Kang Zhao Gou to control the armies south of the Yangtze River.
All the armies in the south of the Yangtze River are under the control of Zhao Gou. It is normal for him to transfer and reorganize them. Even if someone finds a problem, he will turn a blind eye.
Even if someone ignorant of current affairs reported the annihilation of Wuwei's army to Chu Huizong, Zhao Gou would at most be reprimanded, and the whistleblower would face Zhao Gou's wrath.
Whistleblowing is a harmful thing, and no one will get into trouble.
Under Zhao Gou's operation, a month after the disappearance of the Wuwei Army, there was a new Wuwei Army. Among them were people recruited from various armies, as well as Zhao Gou's two thousand pro-army Wu Zhiwei.
A month and a half later, Xu Xian appeared in Hangzhou again. The first person he dealt with was Yang Zhixian of Qiantang County.
Yang Zhixian colluded with Fang Zihao of the Wuwei Army, and jointly created the massacre of the Xu family and divided up the Xu family's property.
Xu Xian sent him a greeting card. Yang Zhixian felt guilty and did not dare to see Xu Xian, so he tore the greeting card directly.
The next day, Xu Xian broke into the county government office, and Yang Zhixian was forced to spit out all his property.
As soon as Xu Xian left the county government office, screams came from the county government office. According to eyewitnesses, they saw a shadow of blood flying across the county government office, and dozens of officials, big and small, fell in a pool of blood.
The county government's "Mingjing hangs high" plaque was smashed, leaving eight words on the ground.
"Do justice for heaven!"
The signature below is "Blood Demon Ding Yin".
No one knew Ding Yin, but they had heard about the Xu Mansion massacre. Everyone speculated that Xu Xian was seeking revenge. Ding Yin was just Xu Xian's pseudonym. The name Blood Demon was attached to Xu Xian, and thus the legend of Xu Hanwen, the Blood Demon, came into being.
According to statistics, apart from handymen, there is only one official left in Qiantang County, Li Gongfu.
On the day when the Xu family was destroyed, Li Gongfu was sent to other places on official business.
The day before the county government murder case occurred, Yang Zhixian was so frightened that he sat down on his chair after receiving a letter from Xu Xian.
Fang Zihao died, the entire Wuwei army was wiped out, and only Yang Zhixian was the main culprit in Xu Mansion's murder case. Xu Xian's purpose was clearly revealed.
After calming down, Yang Zhixian summoned Li Gongfu and asked him to be the peacemaker, and persuaded Xu Xian to show his respect.
Li Gongfu didn't know that Yang Zhixian was involved in the Xu Mansion extermination case. When he heard about it, he couldn't help being furious. He scolded Yang Zhixian and got drunk after leaving the county government.
The next day, Xu Xian came to the county government office. Yang Zhixian received Xu Xian with an uneasy mood. He kept laughing and saying flattering and flattering words.
Xu Xian walked calmly and visited various places in the county government office with a bright smile, and said:
"The county government is pretty good. How about giving it to my brother-in-law?"
Yang Zhixian smiled awkwardly and said:
"The county government belongs to Dachu, your Majesty, and all the people in the world. It does not belong to me personally. I have no right to give it away."
Xu Xian said:
"If you let my brother-in-law be the county magistrate and you become the policeman, won't the county government become my brother-in-law's?"
Yang Zhixian said:
"The county magistrate is appointed by the imperial court and cannot be given or accepted privately. This is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor and will punish the nine clans."
Xu Xian smiled and said:
"Since you can't make the decision in this regard, let's not talk about it for now. You should return the things you took from my Xu family, right?
Don’t say no, it’s better to include interest. "
Even Feng Zhiqian's 30,000 troops could not deal with Xu Xian. How dare County Magistrate Yang say no and return double the property stolen from the Xu family.
After Xu Xian left the county government, he summoned Ding Yin and said:
"You have committed too many sins and need to accumulate merit to atone for your sins. I have a task for you."
Yang Zhixian and Fang Zihao of the Wuwei Army worked together. Not only did they plot to seize the property of a rich and unconnected family like the Xu family, they also colluded with local tyrants and created hundreds of unjust cases. They were full of evildoers.
To eliminate evil is to do good. Ding Yin killed Yang Zhixian and a group of corrupt officials who helped him, which can be regarded as accumulating merit to offset his sin.
Xu Xian also thought about taking action himself, but his next actions required that he not directly participate in the official-killing rebellion.
Really killing an official would be a rebellion. From now on, the only way to go is to gather a group of people to revolt and overthrow Dachu, and he didn't want to take this road.
Although it was not Yang Zhixian who Xu Xian killed, everyone secretly blamed him.
Everyone did not believe the nonsense about the blood demon Ding Yin, but unanimously believed that the blood demon was Xu Xian.
The Blood Demon was acting on behalf of heaven, but maybe he was too harsh and a little too forceful. Not only did he not get recognition, but he caused panic.
"The blood demon is born, and the land is thousands of miles away."
This legend circulates in Hangzhou, equating the Blood Demon with the Drought Demon.
