A fleet of large maritime merchant ships recruited in the name of the imperial court, commanded by Ruan Xiaoqi, directly blocked the river.
Fang La on the boat was horrified when he saw this, and hurriedly ordered a U-turn, preparing to go upstream to find a way.
But as soon as the sea ship started to move, a large number of ships appeared upstream behind them. This was the fleet led by Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu.
Fang La was shivering with sweat on his forehead. He glanced at the crowds of imperial soldiers and horses on the other side of Hangzhou City and turned around to give orders to go to the other side to beach.
But as soon as he looked towards the other side, he saw a group of officers and cavalry patrolling the shore eager to try.
Look at that flag, there is a big word "Han" in it!
I thought I had escaped, but unexpectedly, I was surrounded to death from both sides.
Fang La, who was sweating profusely, turned around anxiously, "What should I do?"
As long as an anti-king of his level is caught, he will inevitably die. This is a non-negotiable matter.
In a hurry, he saw Song Jiang beside him and hurriedly asked, "Gongming, what should we do?"
In this desperate situation, a smile appeared on Song Jiang's face: "Shenggong Wuhuang, I still have a way to survive. But I have to ask Shenggong to borrow something."
The eager Fang La didn't understand the subtext and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "What way? What to borrow?"
"Borrow the head from the Holy Gong's necklace for use!"
Song Jiang suddenly changed his color, roared and rushed to Fang La's side with his sword in hand. He hugged him and put the sword across his throat.
After taking control of Fang La, he roared at Chao Gai and Wu Yong on the side, "Why don't you come over and help!?"
Wu Yong stepped forward subconsciously, but Chao Gai sneered again and again: "You Song Gongming is such a good brother, you will cheat whoever you catch. I, Chao Gai, a good man, am ashamed to be associated with you!"
After that, Chao Gai simply threw away his weapons, took off his clothes, and jumped directly from the boat into the river.
His family lives near Liangshan Bo, and he has a good relationship with the Ruan brothers. Naturally, he understands water properties and his water properties are quite good.
In Chao Gai's view, even if he takes Fang La, he may not be able to survive, so it is best to control his own destiny.
Song Jiang secretly thought it was a pity when he saw this.
He also understands water properties, but unfortunately he is not as good as Chao Gai.
If you jump into such a fast river, you may not be able to resurface.
Taking the wax is a last resort.
After being shocked, Fang La reprimanded Song Jiang repeatedly, accusing Song Jiang of not being a true man and so on.
"I'm not a hero at all." Song Jiang responded with a sneer, "I am the official of the imperial court, and it is only right that I take you!"
Wu on the side shook his hand, glanced at Song Jiang and said nothing.
The fleet came up and a large number of people rushed on board. The headed Ruan brothers all looked strange when they saw Song Jiang holding Fang La hostage.
Everyone is an acquaintance, so it’s hard to say much at this time.
In the end, Song Jiang Fangla and Wu Yong were simply sent to the shore and left to Li Yunze to make the decision.
"Catch Fang Baihua? Injured? No problem, send her to the Prime Minister's military tent. I will personally give her an injection and infusion in the evening."
Li Yunze on the shore was explaining serious matters.
Seeing Fang La, Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others being escorted together, he suddenly smiled.
…."Song Yasi?" Li Yunze raised his hand to greet him, "Long time no see."
Song Jiang, who was tied up over there, saw Li Yunze hurriedly threw himself to the ground, kowtowed hard and sobbed, "Prime Minister~~ Song Jiang is in the enemy's camp and in the heart of Song Dynasty. He has never forgotten to serve the Song Dynasty and the Prime Minister. Today. Finally, I captured the thief chief Fangla alive and achieved some modest achievements, so I finally had some dignity to come to see the Prime Minister."
When everyone around heard this, they all looked at him sideways.
After all, he was a big bandit who once made a name for himself in the world, but he never imagined that he would be so unbearable!
The people who once called him Big Brother on Liangshan even turned their heads and pretended not to recognize this person.
"Oh?" Li Yunze asked curiously, "You are a prisoner of the imperial court, how can you be loyal to the imperial court?"
"Prime Minister~~~" Song Jiang, with tears streaming down his face, kowtowed again, "Xia Guan is no longer an imperial prisoner. When he was in Bianliang City, the officials... the Supreme Emperor had already issued an edict to pardon Xia Guan."
Relying on the treasures he snatched from Tian Hu and his ability to speak eloquently, Song Jiang had taken a high-stakes path before and not only successfully obtained a pardon, but also entered the Forbidden Army system.
If Li Yunze hadn't suddenly promoted the crown prince to the throne, with his ability, he might not have been able to get through in the Forbidden Army.
Strictly speaking from a legal perspective, he is really not an imperial offender.
"I see."
Li Yunze, who nodded with a smile, understood Song Jiang's hope.
After pondering for a while, he made an arrangement. "In that case, you have really made a contribution. Since you are loyal to the Emperor and Song Dynasty, I can't treat you badly. There is a job here to gild your qualifications. I wonder if you can Willing to do it.”
Song Jiang repeatedly kowtowed and cried, "Thank you Prime Minister for your kindness. Song is willing to go through fire and water for the Prime Minister, no matter what!"
"There is no need to go up mountains of swords and seas of fire." Li Yunze smiled and waved his hand. "It just so happened that the imperial court was planning to arrange for Imperial College Qin Xuezheng to go north as an envoy to the Liao and Jin Dynasties. Song Gongming, you can go with Qin Xuezheng as a deputy envoy. As for Wu Yong , be a guard."
When Wu Yong heard this, he lowered his head and looked at his small body. Can he still be a guard like himself?
I can't even beat a dog, okay!
But I’m lucky enough to be alive, so I don’t need a bicycle.
He waved his hand and had Song Jiang and Wu Yong taken away.
Then Li Yunze looked at the famous Fang La and said, "Master Fang, where are the four Dharma Kings of your sect?"
Fang La, who was downcast, was dumbfounded. This was nothing.
Looking at his appearance, Li Yunze, who felt bored, waved his hand and ordered people to take him down.
The battle to conquer Fang La has ended, but for Li Yunze, more important things have just begun.
He spurred his horse and turned around, facing the crowd and shouting, "The rebel Fang La still has many remnants in Jiangnan, you must eradicate them all!"
Fang La's core strength is concentrated in Hangzhou City. After this battle, they have been wiped out in one fell swoop, and there are no remnants left.
Even if there were, it would only be two or three kittens.
Not to mention sending out a large army, even the local government officials can take it down.
But everyone understood what Li Yunze meant. He wanted to use Fang La's incident to wipe out all the gentry and powerful men from all over the south of the Yangtze River!
….Fang La’s remnant is a pot, and the gentry and powerful men from all over the south of the Yangtze River can put it in it.
Li Yunze was directly stationed in Hangzhou City, and his troops scattered around to clean up the remnants of Fangla.
Many local powerful and gentry temples were labeled as the remnants of Fangla and then cleaned up.
Their fields were distributed to the landless people, and at the same time, they promoted the exemption of land tax in various places, which greatly alleviated the pressure on the local people.
Promote the Sanshe method at the local level to give children from poor families a chance to study.
Rectify business and revitalize the city's shipping department to improve sea trade routes and planning.
Salt and iron were sorted out, and mines in various places were unified into the jurisdiction of the imperial court.
A large number of barefoot doctors were trained unexpectedly, and a manual for barefoot doctors was used to promote the advancement and coverage of medical technology.
Li Yunze also specially purchased a batch of medicines from the modern world to eliminate parasites everywhere.
As for annihilating bandits and powerful men from all over the country, cleaning up the vital organizations and urban foxes and rats in the city, declaring all IOUs invalid, prohibiting the sale of farmland from now on, and so on, everything is under the sword and gun of many soldiers. It is advancing slowly.
He led his army to stay in Jiangnan for almost a year, and finally achieved initial results.
There will definitely be more work to do in the future, but he has to go back.
Shi Wenbin and others who were transferred to work and did an outstanding job were left behind to continue to implement various strategies.
At the same time, brothers Wu Jie, Wu Lin and others were arranged to sit in the south of the Yangtze River with troops and horses to frighten local dissidents.
After making these arrangements, we finally set off back to Bianliang City.
As a powerful minister, it is naturally disadvantageous for him to be away from the center of the imperial court for a year.
It's just that Li Yunze regards Prime Minister Cao as his confidant... Ahem, Cao Cao leads troops to fight outside all year round, and the DPRK can make appropriate arrangements.
Li Yunze can certainly do it as well.
Hu Cheng and others isolated the palace, Shi Xiu and others controlled the city defense, Yang Xiong and others cleaned up the streets, and Liang Zhongshu, Cai You and others who guarded the court were obedient and did not dare to have the slightest intention of rebellion.
Some people even suggested that they could cause trouble when Li Yunze was not in Bianliang City, but they were immediately defeated by a report.
They have also been tested.
Before Li Yunze sent out troops, he had sent them letters, which contained information about what he had done and what he had said in the mansion the night before.
Even the words in the letter are word for word.
With such terrifying probing ability, how dare Cai You and others cause trouble.
After all, they didn't know that Li Yunze had a piece of equipment called a bug.
When the army returned and hundreds of officials came out of the city to greet them, Li Yunze also met the official family of the Song Dynasty whom he had not seen for a long time.
Zhao Huan, whose face was not so good-looking, made a trembling statement that in recognition of Li Yunze's contribution in putting down the rebellion, he would give Li Yunze a promotion to a noble rank.
"Be granted the title of Grand Master, add nine tins, hold envoys, supervise the military and state affairs of the world, and join the King of Wei!"
Although it was something that had been expected for a long time, when it actually happened, it still caused a commotion among everyone.
"Brother." Ruan Xiaoqi asked her brother in confusion, "Shouldn't it belong to King Qi? Our prime minister is from the west of Beijing."
.... "You know nothing." Ruan Xiaoer rolled his eyes and responded, "Everyone in the world knows that our Prime Minister respects Wei Wu the most and has Wei Wu's aspirations! Of course he wants to become the King of Wei."
"Oh." The uneducated Ruan Xiaoqi scratched his head, "Then when will you give in?"
"It should be soon..."
When Li Yunze over there heard such a reward, he was shocked and turned pale. He waved his hands and shook his head to refuse, saying, "I have only made some small contributions, so how can I be given such a generous reward? It really embarrasses me. No, no, please hurry up." Get your life back quickly."
'I wanted to take it back when I stepped on the horse, but I didn't dare! '
Zhao Huan, who was filled with filial piety in his heart, forced out a smile: "Prime Minister, you have worked hard and made great contributions to the Song Dynasty. You are worthy of this reward, so please don't refuse it."
Li Yunze still shook his head repeatedly and refused righteously, saying that he worked hard for the Song Dynasty and made countless achievements not just to be the king of Wei.
'Yes, of course not to be the King of Wei. It's for being an official, and for the sisters of the official family. '
Among the courtiers, Liang Zhongshu complained in his heart, but he would never dare to say such words.
Feeling that the heat was almost over, Liang Zhongshu kicked Cai You, who was watching the show in a daze, signaling that it was time for him to step forward and build a ladder.
Immediately, Cai You and Liang Zhongshu led all the courtiers to come forward to persuade Li Yunze, praising him in the sky and on the earth. Without him, there would be no future for the Song Dynasty.
In the end, under the unanimous pressure of everyone, Li Yunze had to sigh up to the sky and close his eyes in tears.
"In this case, for the sake of the people of the world, I will reluctantly accept it."
