Du Zhongxiao sat in the chair and looked at the newspapers in the past few days, feeling a little annoyed.

The King of Beizhou was in chaos. The governor Zhang De went to the Baoxiaojie Camp to dispatch troops. He didn't expect that Wang Ze's inner support was there, so he burned the camp gate. As soon as Zhang De could not enter the military camp, he was caught and killed by the rioters who rushed to the army. The rioters forced the dictator Dong Yuanheng to hand over the keys to the military capital warehouse, but Dong Yuanheng refused and was killed. Wang Ze opened the prison door and released the prisoner. The prisoners resented the case-handling manager Wang Shi, and Wang Shi was killed. Later, officials including the judge of the Jiedushi Li Hao, the magistrate of Qinghe County Qi Kai, and the chief clerk Wang Shi and other officials were killed for various reasons.

What surprised Du Zhongxiao was that Tian Jing, Tixing on Hebei Road, immediately left Tianqingguan, went down from the Nanmen City, and survived. Even Tian Bin, the military commander, fought with the riots with his accompanying soldiers, and could escape safely after being defeated.

Judging from the news from the Di News, the Beizhou Rebellion was not at all organized and did not look like it had been planned for a long time. Du Zhongxiao felt that as long as he was clear-headed, the city gate should be closed first after the chaos, and then mobilized Xuan Yi army and Baoxiao Jie camp in the city. Which official could escape?

One side came prepared, the other side knew nothing. In the end, the organizational ability of the chaotic army was a problem. This was to use the imperial guards in the city as the team to cause trouble. From this we can see that the combat effectiveness of these imperial guards was really unbearable and even a bit ridiculous.

After Tian Jing and Tian Bin left the city, they arrived at the Nanguan Military Camp and now organized troops and had already sealed the southern gate of Beizhou. In a few days, Hao Zhi, the chief of Daming Mansion sent by Jia Changchao, had led his troops to the city of Beizhou, and met with Tian Jing, Tian Bin and others to stabilize the surrounding situation.

What made Du Zhongxiao laugh the most was that after Wang Ze occupied the city, he defended the city tightly, neither expanding outward nor contacting the followers of other states in time, and became the local emperor first. He named the door of his residence "Zhongjing". Each building in the city was named a state name, appointing his followers as the prefect, and four general managers were set up in the east, south, west and north.

Judging from what Wang Ze did, how could he do something big? A typical person would die if he was happy. Perhaps these people really believed in the doctrine and thought that chaos was coming, a new world would appear in the world. If you defend Beizhou, the world would be delivered to them?

Although the history books I studied call these chaos all the peasant uprisings, and the reasons and analyses the significance, representing the corruption of ancient China and the people's miserable life. Du Zhongxiao saw these things with his own eyes, but knew that it was not the case. The historical books are more about building ideology through ancient events, and using criticism of the past to establish legitimacy at that time. Many are far from historical facts and cannot be linked together. If you have to compare them, they are more about the Spring and Autumn Period techniques, but they are further apart from the Spring and Autumn Period.

Take the rebellion of King Ze in Beizhou as an example. Whether it is Wang Ze himself or his subordinates, they have no relationship with the farmers. The main force of the uprising was the imperial guards in the city, and the participants participated in the Maitreya religion. From the uprising to the demise, no farmers participated in it, nor did they respond to the conflicts between the farmers.

If you understand the world and do things according to the textbook you learned, it will be far from the facts.

After years of war with Dangxiang, he consumed countless money and food, but did not win in the end, and of course he accumulated various social contradictions. But in the reality of this era, the main contradictions in society were not manifested in the form of peasant uprisings, but more manifested as military chaos, and there were also rebellions of surrounding forces caused by the defeat of Dangxiang. Why is this happening? Of course, there are various reasons and complexity, which is another matter, the characteristics of the times.

After carefully analyzing the Beizhou Rebellion, Du Zhongxiao felt that if he was allowed to quell the rebellion, it would not take much effort.

There were only two battalions of imperial guards in the city, less than a thousand people. So after the king occupied the city, he summoned all the people in the city from twelve to seventy years old to join the army, and stabbed the words "The Rebel Army defeated Zhao Desheng". What kind of combat power does such an army have? As long as it breaks through the city, it can be quickly pacified.

Thinking of this, Du Zhongxiao looked up at Sun Ran, who was busy with people, and sighed. The cannon was cast as early as possible, so he could have an excuse to go to the court to take the cannon to bomb the city gate of Beizhou and make a great contribution. But in this way, there are still five or six days left to cast, and then you have to slowly test the charge amount and other messy things, afraid that you won’t delay the month.

Wang Ze was doing such a mess, and there were powerful ministers who brought the army there in just a few days to pacify, but he was afraid that he would not be able to catch up.

I have already remembered the Beizhou Rebellion and have long wanted to make some military achievements, but I didn't expect that I could not catch up with it if I had done so much.

On the second day of December, the court sent Mai Yunyan, the commander of the four-box commander of the Longshen Guard, Wang Kai, to take his elite troops to Beizhou. At the same time, Gaoyang Pass Road was deployed, and the horse army commander Wang Xin, after receiving the news, he also urgently led his troops to Beizhou under the city and was surrounded by groups.

On the eighth day of December, Du Zhongxiao, together with the last time, was promoted from Dr. Taichang to the capital official, and was directly promoted from Dr. Taichang to Jixian Academy. At this point, Du Zhongxiao had officially entered the ranks of intermediate officials. At his age, it was very rare. The difference was that he was insufficient in the order of the qualifications and only served as a magistrate. He was not satisfied with the title of the magistrate and the magistrate. He was an embarrassing situation where he was not qualified to be a magistrate.

At the city of Beizhou, Mai Yunyan sat behind the desk with a sad face. Wang Kai and Wang Xin sat on both sides with a solemn expression.

After a while, Mai Yunyan raised his head and said to the two: "Our army gathered at the city of Beizhou and attacked the city for several days. I don't want the monster thieves to guard closely and cannot enter the city. What should I do if this continues?"

Wang Kai said: "In the following point of view, when you ask the imperial edict to inform the city, the court will not pursue the people in the city who do not follow the thief. Even if you follow the thief and cause chaos, as long as you make timely rebellion, you can still not blame the past. We will choose a city gate here and attack the city day and night, and you must not stop."

Mai Yunyan said: "Why is this so? While attacking forcefully and pursuing, wouldn't the people in the city be at a loss?"

Wang Kai said: "That's not what it said. Pleading the demons and thieves in the city are confused, and a strong attack makes them feel scared. Only by working together with two-pronged approach can we break the city and suppress the thieves. Beizhou is the key road from the south of the Khitan. The city is strong and it is not easy to break in urgent need. Just one plan is a must."

Mai Yunyan shook his head: "No, these monsters should be punished if they are in trouble. Praying them will only cause chaos in the morale of the army."

Wang Xin, on the other side, crossed his hands: "Everyone knows, what Wang Taiwei said makes sense. Most of the demon thieves in the city were bewitched by the Maitreya Sect. They were niece and Baojia was joined by them. They were afraid that the city would burn all the jades and stones would be burned, and they would fight to the death. Pushing the hearts of the people in An City, if anyone who does not want to follow the thief will definitely help our army. Only when they can they respond to the inside and outside, they can break through this strong city."

Seeing Wang Xin say the same thing, Mai Yunyan was a little shaken. He said, "This matter is quite a bit serious, so let me think about it."

This time the attack on Beizhou, the imperial court issued an order that the transfer envoy and the punishment were not allowed to interfere. Since the three of them arrived here, Tian Jing took the initiative to stop participating in the military.

Among the three, Wang Xin had the most qualifications and the highest official position. He was appointed as the main deployment. However, Mai Yunyan was an eunuch, and he was a real power figure like the squad. In fact, the party held military power. He was a person around the emperor. This time he came to supervise the army, and Wang Xin and Wang Kai did not dare to fight with him.

Wang Xin participated in the Battle of Sanchuankou against Dangxiang. At that time, the commander Liu Ping and Shi Yuanbu were captured together. His troops were almost unharmed and fled safely. Later, he was held accountable and suffered some setbacks. He only recovered slowly in the past two years. In the Battle of Sanchuankou, he was defeated because of the eunuch Huang Dehe. Later, he was slandered and almost took the blame for Huang Dehe. With that lesson, Wang Xin was a little afraid of these eunuchs and dared not be stubborn.

Wang Kai was the general of the military in charge and had little contact in the court. He was originally Mai Yunyan's deputy, so he had to obey orders.
