After regaining Chang'an, Guo Congyi petitioned to kill former Chang'an inspector Qiao Shouwen, enshrined officials Wang Yi, Shi Zhihua, Ren Jixun and others.
Wang Yi was the imperial envoy at the time and was ordered to transfer Zhao Siwan and his deployment to Bianzhou. When passing through Chang'an, Qiao Shouwen went out of the city to greet him. Because of the serious dereliction of duty and violations of the rules by several people at work (letting the field troops enter the city), Zhao Siwan rebelled after seizing the city. . When Guo Congyi came to conquer, he arranged for Qiao Shouwen to organize civilian men and perform meritorious service.
When Zhao Siwan occupied the city and rebelled, one of Qiao Shouwen's concubines left in the city was also occupied by Zhao Siwan. After Guo Congyi regained Chang'an, he also obtained all of Zhao Siwan's concubines, including this concubine. Guo Congyi was also stunned by this beauty, but Qiao Shouwen stood up and asked Guo Congyi to return the property to its original owner.
Guo Congyi had no choice but to return Ai Ji, but he felt very unhappy, so he reported it to Guo Wei and requested that the "Chang'an Mutiny" be held accountable. As a result, several people were sentenced to death.
With the two battlefields of Chang'an and Hezhong ending one after another, Fengxiang Wang Jingchong will also usher in the end of his life.
His staff Zhou Can advised him: "The reason why we can hold on to Fengxiang is that we are in close contact with Chang'an and Hezhong, and they helped you attract the main firepower of the imperial court. Now that the two are dead, the Shu people are unreliable. Are you still hoping for a miracle? Why not surrender and seek leniency from the organization?"
Wang Jingchong looked ashamed and apologized to Zhou Can first, saying that it was all his fault for causing everyone to suffer with him. But then, Wang Jingchong changed the topic and said that I think we can still save it.
He called two of his trusted generals, Gongsun Nian and Zhang Sirian, and said to them: "Zhao Hui has deployed all his elite troops in the north of the city. Tomorrow morning, you two will set fire to the east gate and pretend to surrender the city, but don't let it happen." When Zhao Hui enters the city, Zhou Can and I will lead the main force to rush out from the north gate and blitz Zhao Hui's main force. Even if the plan fails, it is better for a man to die in front of the formation than to die behind the formation than to be captured without mercy."
Everyone took the order and went back to make preparations.
In the early morning of the next day (December 24), before dawn, according to the prior agreement, Gongsun Nian and Zhang Sirian set fire to the east gate to greet the besieging troops and express their intention to surrender. But at this moment, thick smoke billowed out of the headquarters building in the city, and flames suddenly shot into the sky.
The two looked at each other, "The plan has changed? Why didn't you notify us?" They quickly sent someone to check. It turned out that Wang Jingchong had committed suicide and Zhou Can surrendered to Zhao Hui.
The two of them shook their heads and could only pretend to do it, and change the fake surrender into a real surrender.
Wang Jingchong's death has become a historical mystery. It may be that he followed the example of the ancients and immolated himself as a family member as recorded in history books. It may also be that he suffered a mutiny, or Zhou Can or someone else killed Wang Jingchong and faked his self-immolation. scene, and then surrendered to Zhao Hui.
Wang Jingchong's suicide is in the common interest of all forces. In this case, he will definitely die, and he will definitely not be able to find out the truth. For example, the former president of the lighthouse country chewed mud (transliteration means An Bajian and Abaoji).
With Wang Jingchong buried in the sea of fire, before the end of the second year of Qianyou (949), the "Three Towns Rebellion" of the Later Han Dynasty finally came to a perfect end with the victory of the Central Committee of the Later Han Dynasty.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year in the third year of Qianyou (950), Liu Chengyou was not allowed to congratulate him because he was using troops in three towns. But soon they received good news on the Fengxiang battlefield: the traitor Wang Jingchong set himself on fire with his entire family to regain Fengxiang.
Liu Chengyou was so pleased with Long Yan that he immediately offered Zhao Hui, the commander-in-chief of Fengxiang, as a servant.
Subsequently, envoys were sent to Chang'an, Fengxiang, and Hezhong to clean the battlefields and bury the remains of fallen soldiers and civilians on both sides. It is unknown how much damage was caused in the "Three Towns Rebellion". There is only one small detail left in the history books that is horrifying to think about: before the imperial court collected the remains, the local monks had spontaneously buried about two people. One hundred thousand bodies.
The three towns have been pacified, and those who have made meritorious deeds will naturally be promoted to high positions. For example, Zhao Hui, who recaptured Fengxiang, was also a minister, Guo Congyi, who recaptured Chang'an, and Tongping Zhangshi, and Comrade Guo Wei, the commander-in-chief of the counter-rebellion, was a little less prominent. It's tricky, because Guo Wei, who has military power and great achievements, has shown his restless tail.
It is said that according to Guo Wei's "The Chronicles of Zhou Taizu", before Guo Wei launched the general offensive, a river god gave him a dream, telling him that God would destroy Li Shouzhen's entire family in late July. On July 21, Li Shouzhen's entire family set themselves on fire, and the words of the River God were fulfilled. According to eyewitnesses at the scene, when the city in the river was captured, purple energy suddenly gathered above Guo Wei's tent, "like a canopy of pavilions."
Purple air, red light, etc. are all rhetoric with specific directions, and "Huagai" is the standard equipment of the emperor. When such records or rhetoric appear at this moment, the political signal is very obvious. Of course, this paragraph was compiled by later generations (Song Dynasty) and may not be a real incident at that time. So the question is, since it did not happen at that time, why should this be used as a node to explain Guo Wei's threat to Liu Chengyou?
The reason is that even if it was made up by the people of the Song Dynasty, why was it compiled at this point? In fact, Guo Wei has been recorded in history a long time ago. As early as when Li Jitao (son of Li Sizhao) was in Luzhou, Guo Wei already had the legendary deeds of "Lu Zhishen + Yang Zhi". To put it simply, he was a rogue in Luzhou Being domineering, Guo Wei asked him if the melon would stay ripe, and then he would eliminate harm for the people. That year, Guo Wei was only 18 years old;
Li Cunxu overthrew Hou Liang and incorporated him into his own army. That year, Guo Wei was 21 years old;
Later, Guo Wei became Liu Zhiyuan's younger brother, Liu Zhiyuan was Shi Jingtang's younger brother, and Shi Jingtang was Li Siyuan's younger brother.
In the subsequent series of battles, Guo Wei occasionally made guest appearances, but there is no record of such events as Ziqi and Huagai. Now, the previous bosses have ascended to the throne of the emperor one after another. After Liu Zhiyuan passed away and the "Three Towns Rebellion" was put down, Guo Wei's appearance had the emperor's exclusive BGM. Therefore, the Battle of the River is an important part of Guo Wei's life. Milestone is a very important time node.
On August 5, Guo Wei returned to the DPRK from Hezhong and arrived in Luoyang on August 13.
Wang Shouen, who stayed in Luoyang, was greedy and despicable, and devoted himself to plundering the people's wealth. His methods of amassing money are no less than "nail-pulling tax" and "beard-pulling tax."
Wang Shou'en stipulated that all weddings and funerals must pay taxes. People have to pay funeral taxes. Anyone who does not pay the "funeral tax" will not let the coffin leave the city; there is even a "poop tax" and you have to pay a tax when using the toilet... In the end What is outrageous is that taxation is imposed on beggars, and even beggars are not spared.
He often instructs his men to steal...
What's even more interesting is that whenever a wealthy family gets married, Wang Shou'en and his actors will dress up in ordinary people's clothes, sneak into the wedding scene, pretend to be relatives and friends who have come to congratulate them, and ask for "wedding money", and they can get it every time. A few ingots of silver. Regardless of his noble status of "staying in Xijing and cooperating with Zhang Shi", he turned into a rogue old man who blocked the wedding car.
It is estimated that the owner of the wedding event should know him, otherwise he would not use such a huge sum of money as "happy money". He can only lose money to avoid disasters, and take a few ingots to buy peace. A private visit incognito is much gentler than fighting in the open fire.
Wang Shouen should have some kind of mental illness and personality defect. Some are cruel and murderous, while others are crazy about money. Wang Shouen is obsessed with money-making methods and can't stop. In short, it is a kind of pathology.
