The place where Cao Gan was imprisoned was Room C No. 3 in Shenyan Yuan. Although it was not as good as the VIP room with its own small courtyard, it was still clean and tidy. As a prisoner, he could live in such a place. If he was not tied up in There's no reason to complain about poor treatment if you're sitting on a thick-backed oak chair.
With high pragmatic courage, even though he knew that Cao Gan, who was tied up all over, could not move, and could not break the solid oak chair to break free from the bonds, he still had the attitude of "be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years" , and only then came to Cao Gan with a smile like Liu Wei, a god of death.
Seeing Gao Pangshi come in, Cao Gan snorted coldly and said mockingly: "Boy from the Gao family, if you want to see Cao's joke, you might as well watch carefully. Cao has never seen anything like this, and you won't lose your temper if you look at it." Half a piece of meat.”
Gao Pragmatic, still smiling, moved an oak chair and sat down not far from Cao Gan, looking at the thief with great interest.
Cao Gan had a bald head, and half of his ear that was cut off by Liu Wei was bandaged casually. It seemed that he had been given some medicine. It was probably because Liu Xian thought that he was an important prisoner and did not want him to die from infection of the wound. It's been dealt with. His arms were also treated, sandwiched between two wooden boards and tightly wrapped in white cloth. There was also some herbal smell inside.
But Gao Jingshi was not in a hurry to speak, but Liu Wei couldn't help but glared at Cao Gan: "Everyone with the surname Cao is already here, why are you pretending to be a hero? Just listen to me, Mr. Gao is very busy. , I’m not interested in seeing you pretentious.”
Cao Gan laughed, his big copper bell-like eyes showing a cunning light: "Oh? Really? It seems that Mr. Gao is either planning to kill me personally to vent his anger, or he is planning to recruit me?"
Gao pragmatic laughed, shook his head and said: "I haven't even killed a chicken, how can I kill people? As for recruiting people... How can I recruit you as a commoner?"
Cao Gan chuckled: "Even a simple country man knows that the elder of the pavilion is as respected as the prime minister of the previous dynasty. Your uncle is not only the elder of the pavilion in the dynasty, but he is also said to be the emperor's teacher. Let alone recruit a mere thieves from me. Emperor Feilong had a general under his command back then, and if he wanted to recruit him, he would probably be able to do so."
"Emperor Feilong?" Gao Pingshi was startled when he heard this, and thought to himself: What kind of thing is this? Why does it have a strong fantasy animation style.
But Liu Wei, who was beside him, tightened his expression and suddenly asked: "What is your connection with that traitor Zhang Lian? Tell me!"
Cao Gan laughed loudly, but didn't bother to pay attention anymore.
Gao pragmatic turned around in surprise and asked Liu Wei, "Brother Zishou, who is Zhang Lian?"
Liu Wei gave Cao Gan a cold look and said to Gao pragmatically: "Master Gao, please take a step to speak about this matter..."
Gao Pinggong said seriously that it was not good. My recruitment and surrender project has not yet been launched. Is it possible that the achievement will be aborted?
However, when he saw that Liu Wei's face was serious and did not look like a child's play, he had no choice but to stand up and walk out the door. Liu Wei then came out, and the two went to the wing on the other side to talk.
After entering the room, Liu Wei asked Gao Pragmatic to sit down, and without saying any nonsense, he directly introduced the deeds of the "Feilong Emperor" to him.
Gao Pragmatic originally knew nothing about this person and could only listen to Liu Wei's story. He originally thought that the so-called "Flying Dragon Emperor" was probably a funny rebellion caused by a few foolish men and women, but what he didn't expect was that the rebellion was real, but it was not funny at all.
Zhang Lian, a native of Xiacang, Raoping. He started as a treasury official, stole treasury silver, killed people and fled, and joined the thief Zheng Ba to cause chaos. In the court files, he was classified as a "drama thief" at that time. If it was just that, it would be fine. The problem was that he was not satisfied with being a bandit and actually started a bigger business.
When Zhang Lian was working as a treasurer in Raoping County Government, he secretly carved a seal with four words: "Master Feilong". He secretly hid the seal in the Sifang Pond of the county seat. Then he mysteriously told people: "I dreamed at night and saw a treasure falling from the sky into the pond. The immortal told me in the dream that whoever can get this thing will be the real dragon emperor."
Although this kind of trick that the rebels were tired of playing in the past was nothing new, it was also a new thing for the local people, and it soon spread throughout the county. Many people believed it to be true, probably because the sky was high and the emperor was far away, so they went into the pond to search for it, but no one could find it. At this time, Zhang Lian saw that the brewing was almost complete, so he also invited a few people to go to Sifang Pond to search.
This piece of jade seal was originally hidden by Zhang Lian. Of course, it took no effort to get it, and he fished it out soon after. Zhang Lian's acquisition of this seal was, in the eyes of these foolish men and women, equivalent to an imperial talisman granted by God. People were astonished and thought that heaven would entrust this man with a great responsibility, so they knelt down and worshiped. Just relying on this old trick, Zhang Lian actually became a local leader who responded to everyone.
Having a good name makes it easier to do big things. Next, Zhang Lian "killed the clan leader and defected to Dabu Zheng Ba."
Dapu, at this time, belonged to the capital of Luanzhou, the capital of Qingyuan, Raoping County. In the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing, the patriarch saw that Zhang Lian had the intention to rebel. He was afraid that he would harm the Zhulian family in the countryside in the future, so he repeatedly persuaded Zhang Lian not to rebel and become an honest and obedient citizen. He also threatened that if he did not obey, he would be killed. Expelled from the clan.
Zhang Lian's imperial ambitions have grown, how can he withstand such "humiliation"? So he killed the clan leader angrily, ascended to a high place and led his followers to defect to Dabu Zheng Ba (this man was the leader of the White Fan Society uprising) and became the deputy leader of the village. After Zheng Ba's death, Zhang Lian was promoted to the leader because he was "chivalrous and righteous", had the highest prestige, and had the imperial talisman in hand. Rebels from all over the country took refuge one after another. The army numbered 100,000, and their power became increasingly powerful.
In the 39th year of Jiajing's reign, Zhang Lian joined forces with Chengxiang Lin Chaoxi, Liang Ning, Xu Dongzhou, Dabu Xiaowan, Luo Pao, Yang Shun, Xiaojing Zhang Gongyou, Lai Ci, Li Dongjin and other rebels, and formed a bloody alliance. He also built a castle in Wushi, Raoping, Shangrao, his hometown, and built a "Zhucheng Yellow House" as a palace in Zhangxiangshan, Baisong Pass. After that, Zhang Lian set up an altar to worship heaven and earth and proclaimed himself the emperor, named "Feilong Renzhu", changed the Yuan Dynasty to "Zhaoli", and named the country "Feilong". Generals and others are all rewarded.
Baisongguan is located at the junction of Shangshan Town in the north of Raoping, Guangdong and Jiufeng Town, Pinghe County, Fujian Province. The terrain is quite high, with peaks facing each other. It is surrounded by dangerous mountains, built with stones as a wall, and two arched gates. It is said that when the pass was built in the Ming Dynasty in the past, there were ancient cypresses in the north of the pass, so it was named "Bosong Pass". This is the throat of the Guangdong-Fujian channel. It is a strategic location that can only be blocked by one general.
After the establishment of the "Feilong Kingdom", Zhang Lian stepped up his plan to overthrow the Ming Dynasty.
In the 40th year of Jiajing's reign, Zhang Lian mobilized his troops to attack the four provinces of Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangxi and Zhejiang in three directions. He ordered Lin Chaoxi to lead an army of more than 30,000 people to attack various counties in eastern Guangdong; he ordered Xiao Wan, Luo Pao and others to lead more than 30,000 people. While others attacked western Fujian and southern Jiangxi, he personally led the main force of more than 30,000 Chinese troops to attack southern Fujian and attack Zhejiang along the coastline.
The Feilong Army was massive, with frequent success reports in the early days of the expedition, and at the same time, it received responses and support from rebel groups from all over the country. When Xiao Wan and Luo Pao led their troops to attack western Fujian, the brothers Bao Long (Bao Rong) and Bao Feng (Bao Hu), the leaders of the Liancheng rebels, actively cooperated and echoed each other. Xiao Wan and the Luopao tribe defeated Yongding, Shanghang, Wuping, Changting, Changle, and Liancheng, cut off the official and army food routes, and took advantage of the victory to attack Ruijin, Ningdu, Xingguo, Wan'an, Taihe and other places in southern Jiangxi; Lin Chaoxi The troops moved to eastern Guangdong, attacking Chaozhou, Dabu, Meixian, Xingning, and Longchuan and Heyuan in the Heyuan area. Zhang Lian personally commanded the rebels. He captured Pinghe in April, fell into Yunxiao in June, defeated Nanjing in August, and captured Zhangzhou. After Zhenhai, he directed his forces towards Quanzhou, Putian, and Fuzhou, and took advantage of the victory to capture Longquan, Zhejiang. The rebels were so powerful that they captured dozens of places in the county in a short period of time. The entire Feilong rebel army grew to 200,000 people!
