When he discovered that Duan Jin appeared next to Huang Qiong, he even became one of his daughters-in-law. Her mother, who had some misunderstandings about Duan Jin in the past, once thought that Duan Jin stayed with Huang Qiong because he had bad intentions for her son. Even Duan Jin, the eldest princess of the country, had murderous intentions. When she was traveling in the world, she had killed many treacherous and evil people in her hands.
What's more, in her eyes, Concubine Shen was not even worthy of her opponent. What's more, does her son still exist, a different kind of filthy and scheming little person? If Concubine Shen's words hadn't touched Concubine Jing's cold mind, I'm afraid Concubine Shen would have become a corpse now. Moreover, even with the best experts in the world, the cause of death cannot be found on the body.
Huang Qiong, who was in Wende Hall at this time, did not know that his mother and Concubine Shen had a conversation after he left. He didn't know that his mother had already known about his little things. I was almost once thought that he was doing this because he was consciously relying on his mother who was strong and bullying, and that he had ruined his martial arts skills. What's more, I didn't know that my mother had murderous intentions towards Concubine Shen, just at the last moment.
Huang Qiong, who was hurried back to Wende Hall by the old man, found that when he saw the old man, his face was very gloomy. Before Huang Qiong could speak, the old man didn't even ask him where he was going to be cool now. They didn't say a word when they met, but they were hit with a lot of lies. Huang Qiong opened the folds and took a look, but couldn't help being stunned.
Just twenty days ago, Tuoba Jiqian, the deputy envoy of Lingzhou Zhifan whom Huang Qiong had been worried about, suddenly brought dozens of his confidants to control his clan brother, who was also the leader of the Lingzhou party Xiang Pingxia tribe. He is currently the deputy envoy of Lingzhou Tuanlian. Then he clashed with his younger brother Tuoba Jicheng. There are more than 3,000 strong men from the Pingxia tribe. Taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the defenders in the city, they raided and captured Lingzhou City overnight, capturing and killing Lingzhou Zhizhou and Tongzhi.
Lingzhou City has always been an important town in Longyou, and it is also the storage place for military grain, grass and ordnance on the border of Ningxia Prefecture. After Tuoba moved to capture Lingzhou, his strength greatly expanded. After capturing Lingzhou, they used the ordnance and food obtained in Lingzhou. Coupled with the other Dangxiang tribes that came one after another, they defeated more than a thousand Ningxia Prefecture guards who came to encircle and suppress them seven days ago, and took advantage of the opportunity to capture Ningxia Prefecture.
The magistrate of Ningxia Prefecture committed suicide before the city was broken. The other officials of Tongzhi and Tongjian were captured and later killed. They died fighting with all their strength. In the Ningxia Prefecture of the vassal state, the entire family of Guyuan County Prince was wiped out, and more than a hundred members of the clan died unexpectedly. A large amount of food, money and materials hoarded by the county prince's palace were all in the hands of the rebels. After Tuoba Jiqian captured Ningxia Prefecture, he claimed to be the envoy of the Dingnan Army and expanded his army massively.
Not only the various party departments in Lingzhou are now either cooperating with it or have submitted to it. Even the Han people in Ningxia Prefecture joined the rebellion in large numbers due to the impact of the drought. Now the rebels have expanded to more than 100,000 people, and their momentum is extremely huge. In just ten days, most of Ningxia Prefecture has been captured, and troops are being divided to attack Qingyang Prefecture, where Longyou Road is located, as well as Yuanzhou, Qinzhou, Huizhou and other places.
I have to say that this guy has a very powerful tongue. At the beginning of his army, he used a large number of marriages to form alliances with all the Dangxiang tribes in Tongling Prefecture and even the entire Ningxia Prefecture. But after all, raising an army to rebel is not something anyone dares to do. Most of the clan leaders were in a wait-and-see attitude. But after a lot of encouragement from this guy, he first made all the party tribes in Lingzhou surrender.
After he captured Ningxia Prefecture, almost all the party tribes in Ningxia Prefecture, including more than 100,000 men and women, surrendered. In fact, in recent years, the imperial court has continued to divide and disintegrate party members. In addition to a hereditary and vacuous position, the heads of each party tribe have no power to govern even the people of their own tribe. But the court ignored one issue, which was the issue left over from history.
In the past, Dangxiang people had always been organized into tribes, and all matters were under the jurisdiction of the chiefs of each tribe. Traditions passed down for thousands of years cannot be solved overnight. Although the imperial court deprived these party patriarchs of their real power, they turned them into memorial tablets and decorations. However, it is impossible to deprive them of the prestige among the original tribal people that has been passed down for thousands of years in a short period of time.
In fact, when people of various tribes encounter problems, they are more willing to go to the tribe leader to solve them. Even if there is a lawsuit, he is not willing to go to the government, but would rather go to the original clan leader to resolve it privately. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the imperial court strictly prohibited such things. Once found together, a batch needs to be processed. At that time, many party chiefs were exiled or even beheaded because of such things.
As the country was founded, the rule of law became increasingly lax, coupled with the corruption of officialdom in various places. Governments in various places began to turn a blind eye to this practice. As long as these party members pay all their taxes, most of them adhere to the concept that doing more is worse than doing less. After decades of accumulation, although these party patriarchs still have no real power, their prestige has gradually been restored.
At the same time, at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, strict control was imposed on all party ministries. Especially those clan leaders who were originally deprived of the same real power as the local emperors of their tribes. The big tycoons in various party departments are extremely dissatisfied. Even among ordinary party members, dissatisfaction with the imperial court was deepening. After more than a hundred years of accumulation, Tuoba's move was almost a response to a hundred requests.
First, ordinary party members joined the army in droves. After it captured Ningxia Prefecture, the tribal chiefs who were still waiting and watching no longer hesitated. Under the instigation of the clan leader, most of the Dangxiang tribes in Ningxia Prefecture almost all joined this man. This person's popularity was so great in a short period of time, and he played an indispensable role in persuading the heads of the various tribes in the party.
After capturing Ningxia Mansion, this person issued an edict of seven hatreds, citing the unfair treatment of party members by the imperial court. One of his hatreds is that the imperial court has been deploying Dangxiang Qingzhuang to guard the border for many years, causing a large number of Dangxiang Qingzhuang to die on the battlefield, and intentionally genocide the Dangxiang people. The second hatred is that the imperial court strictly controls the way of life of the Dangxiang people. Now the Dangxiang people have become a semi-nomadic tribe, and each family can only keep three horses.
Surplus horses must be handed over to the court for free, and the court rarely provides corresponding compensation. The third thing he hated was unfair official career. The imperial court suppressed Dangxiang people in the imperial examinations. Dangxiang people were not allowed to take the imperial examinations, study, or participate in the election of officials. The hereditary official positions of Dangxiang people have always been deliberately suppressed by the imperial court, and they are never allowed to be promoted. They are treated completely differently from Han officials.
The fifth thing they hate is economic injustice. Dangxiang merchants can only do business within the territory of Longyou. They are not allowed to become merchants, are not allowed to do business in other places, and are not allowed to deal in ironware or grain. The taxes Dangxiang merchants have to bear and pay every year are several times that of Han merchants, even if they sell similar products. Many party businessmen went bankrupt because they could not afford the high taxes.
The six things he hates are unfair punishments. The officials in various places in Longyou often punished Party members with sticks and shackles for wantonly insulting them. When the Han people had a lawsuit with the Dangxiang people, regardless of who was right or wrong, the Dangxiang people would always lose. Even if there is a lawsuit between party members, there is no question of right or wrong. Both the plaintiff and the defendant will be severely punished. Even if you win the lawsuit, you will still be severely punished.
The seventh thing he hated was that the imperial court turned a blind eye to the drought in Longyou. He took advantage of the imperial meeting to go to the capital for help, hoping that the imperial court could provide relief to the victims of the Dangxiang disaster. However, he was kicked back and forth several times in several yamen in the capital, but could not get a grain of rice. In order to survive the spring drought this year, he went to ask the prefect of Ningxia for grain relief, but the prefect accused him of exaggerating the disaster and inciting the victims to confront the government.
He was beaten twenty dozen times and was shackled for three days. As the deputy envoy of Zhifan, the capital of Lingzhou, in the seventh rank, he was treated like this. You can imagine the ordinary victims and party members. There has been a severe drought in Longyou since last year. The countless victims who were crying for food not only did not receive a grain of rice from the court, but also had to endure repeated expropriations and insults from the court and the clan.
Now he is seeking a way out for himself, the party members, and the hundreds of thousands of victims in Longyou. Even if you don't want to, you can only be forced to rebel. Since the way of heaven is unfair and the court is unfair, then he will do justice for heaven. It's just that this guy's so-called Seven Hatreds, although written in eloquent words, blamed all the sins of his rebellion on the imperial court.
But among the so-called seven hatreds, the sentence "to restore the glory of the Dangxiang people more than a hundred years ago" revealed the real reason for his rebellion. After reading these 800-mile expedited secret documents, Huang Qiong was secretly shocked. I had made relatively complete preparations, but I didn't expect this person to move so quickly. Before he even took action on his side, he had already openly rebelled.
Although Zhang Qian was urged by him, he did not dare to rush forward without any delay along the way. But it would take at least half a month to get from Yongzhou to Jingzhao. Now Zhang Qian has just entered Huguang North Road, and it will take three to five days to reach the capital at the fastest. I originally thought that even if this guy wanted to rebel, he would wait until autumn when the grass was high and fertile, so that it would be conducive to cavalry operations.
But he didn't expect that this person would take action now, and he would do it so fast. It's only been less than a month. Actually, most of Ningxia Mansion has fallen into its control. He still has the ability to leave Ningxia Prefecture and attack Qingyang Prefecture and the other important towns in Longyou. The 2,000 frontier troops in Dingyuan Prefecture, which faced off across the desert from the departments under the Northern Liaoning United Army Division, were cut off from all contact with Longyou.
All the grain, grass, and ordnance that were originally stored in Lingzhou also fell into the hands of this person. Once the two thousand frontier troops in Dingyuan Prefecture run out of food and grass, they will probably fall into chaos without fighting. Thinking of this, Huang Qiong closed the memorial, pondered for a long time and then said: "Father, this rebellion in Ningxia Mansion is by no means a temporary one as stated in the memorial, but a long-planned rebellion."
"Otherwise, even if the two thousand guards in Ningxia Prefecture are a bunch of rubbish, their combat effectiveness will be ruined. But facing a group of rabble, they will not lose the important towns of Lingzhou and Fucheng so quickly. Not even half a month. In less than a few days, almost the entire Ningxia Prefecture was lost. Ningxia Prefecture is a big government with jurisdiction over two states and three counties. It was impossible to lose it so quickly without careful planning."
Regarding Huang Qiong's judgment, the old man snorted coldly, but said: "I'm not asking you whether this rebellion has been planned for a long time. What I want to ask you is what to do next. At the moment, troops are being deployed on Shanxi Road. The troops on the front line of the Great Wall are also reporting, and the Northern Liao Dynasty is also moving frequently. They are constantly mobilizing troops and horses outside the Great Wall, and there is a high possibility of going south to knock the pass at any time."
"You also know the income of the imperial court now, and the war started with money and food. The imperial court cannot afford to use multiple troops now. But Longyou is located at the throat of our court. Once Longyou loses, not only our court will suffer The northwest barrier will be lost. Moreover, if hundreds of thousands of horses from several groups in Longyou fall into the hands of the rebels, the imperial court will not only completely lose the source of war horses in the future."
"If those party rebels become cavalry-based bandits, then we will never have peace in the northwest. Now, I have no idea for a moment. I don't know how to fight this counter-insurgency war. Someone in the court advised me I, instead of using many troops, it is better to simply seal Ningxia Mansion to this person and give him a title so that this matter can be suppressed in the shortest possible time."
