The Uprising of Wang Li

According to research, the Chinese people are the best managed, most conservative, and most complaints in history. As long as there is a bite, they will never rebel. When Zhao Guangyi was the Kaifeng Yin, he carved 16 golden characters on a large stone in front of the main gate of his Kaifeng Prefecture, "Your salary and other people's wealth and ointment are easy to abuse the people, but God can't deceive you" (it is said that the 16-character "Jie Shi Ming" can still be seen in Kaifeng now) Such a big bitch, you have been the emperor for more than 16 years. Have you forgotten this verdict?

In Qingcheng County, Yongkang Army, Chengdu Prefecture Road, a man named Wang Xiaobo had nowhere to grow and made a living by growing tea and selling tea. However, the Song Dynasty government set up a "Bo Maiwu" in the local area to completely nationalize the sales rights of wine, salt, tea and other daily necessities. Wang Xiaobo's source of living was completely destroyed. So the only prerequisite for the rebellion of Chinese farmers finally matured: they didn't even eat rice!

In February of the fourth year of Chunhua (993), Wang Xiaobo officially rose up! He condensed all his sufferings and hopes into one sentence, and pointed out the most hopeful thing that people at that time: "I am sick, rich and poor, and now I will be equal to you." In the same month, Wang Xiaobo led his people to conquer Pengshan County, Meizhou and killed the county magistrate Qi Yuanzhen.

But can you believe it? Until the end of this year, Emperor Zhao Guangyi of the Song Dynasty did not know that there was this uprising. His ministers were very busy every day, rushing to show their wisdom and courage, and fighting for who could get closer to the emperor when they were standing in the morning court.

Start with the top scholar Prime Minister Lu Mengzheng. In September 991, he was dismissed, and the one who took over him was Li Fang, who was previously taken over by him. His deputy was Zhang Qixian.

This is another couple with an old man and a new man. Just like Zhao Pu brings Lu Mengzheng, the strong and smart Zhang Qixian was silent like Lu Mengzheng. The great charity Li Fang was kind and harmonious. With him, the superstructure of the Song Dynasty was really stable. But over time, Zhao Guangyi became very annoyed. The housekeeper who was clean and clean looked comfortable, but who would do it?

The emperor himself had been struggling for nearly two years. On May 15, 993, he finally couldn't help it and called the two free and easy gods and prime ministers to shout, "You guys said they were Guan Zhong and Le Yi before you became prime ministers. But when you became prime ministers, who could play silence more? I worked hard during the country day and night, and I was so tired that I had no spare time. Is this the way of the minister? "Li Fang and Zhang Qixian knelt down and admitted his mistake, and the two understood that the good days were over.

On June 9, Zhang Qixian was dismissed from prime minister. On October 16, as the envoy of the three officials Wei Yu suggested that Zhao Guangyi divided the world into 10 roads: Henan, Hedong, Guanxi, Jiannan, Huainan, Jiangnan, East Jiangnan, East Jiangnan, East Liangzhe, West Liangzhe, and Guangnan. Taking Jingdong as the left plan, Jingxi as the right plan, and the middle divided 10 roads. Wei Yu was the left plan, and Dong Yan was the right plan. On the 17th, Li Fang was dismissed from prime minister.

On the same day, Lu Mengzheng made his debut again. This time, as the prime minister, he was the only prime minister. No one could divide his power, and no prestige of old seniors were in front of him. He was determined to achieve great things.

On the first day of his tenure, he was respected by the emperor. Last time he was prime minister, he found out that the prefect of Caizhou Zhang Shen was corrupt, so he used the power to dismiss him. However, someone reported to Zhao Guangyi that there was inside information about this. Lu was extremely poor before he passed the exam, so he asked Zhang Shen for money. Zhang gave it, but it was a little less. Lu held a grudge, and this time he was revenge. Zhao Guangyi immediately regained Zhang Shen. This was equivalent to slapping Lu Mengzheng in public. But Lu did not argue, did not pursue the matter, and was safe and self-adapted. Just as he agreed.

It became clear after a long time that Lu Mengzheng had become a prime minister again. The examination school confirmed that Zhang Shen was indeed corrupt and removed him from his post again. Zhao Guangyi was very sorry. When the two met, he said something like this, "Zhang Shen's fruit was a stolen." The emperor bowed his head. However, Lu Mengzheng was relieved again and didn't even thank him. After passing, he went over and said nothing. He had to say something big on a big occasion.

Four months later, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival was celebrated together in the Song Dynasty. The emperor personally held a banquet and invited ministers to watch the lanterns. The peaceful and prosperous scene in front of him made the emperor sigh, "I remember that in the Later Jin and Later Han eras, life was withered. At that time, who could have thought of today's peaceful days? It was only when I govern the world, handle government affairs, and think of God's virtue of living a life, that we can have today's prosperous situation. It can be seen that the end of the war and reorganization of the universe is entirely up to the human beings." Who is this person? Of course, it is the big bitch himself.

The ministers present were about to sing praises together, Prime Minister Lu Mengzheng suddenly left his seat and said to the emperor in front of all the officials, "This is your capital, so it is so prosperous. I have seen with my own eyes that there are people who died of hunger and cold a few miles outside the capital. I hope Your Majesty will see the near, but you must see the distance. This is the blessing of the people." Zhao Guangyi's face changed drastically, and he did not say a word. Lu Mengzheng walked back to his seat and continued to eat, drink and watch the lamp.

The top scholar and prime minister returned to the prime minister this time, and he really wanted to do something practical. Moreover, his ex-girlfriend Li Fang was the official who lost his official position because of inaction. Then he was more active, and he was not catered to the trend at that time? It’s a pity that it’s not! In the situation, even the smartest talented man could not see through it.

Looking back at the tenures of all prime ministers in Taizong's dynasty, you will find a problem. The longest time was the first three prime ministers: Xue Juzheng 5 years, Shen Yilun 6 years, and Lu Duosun 6 years. After that, Zhao Pu became prime minister twice, both for two years, each time for two years. Li Fang became prime minister twice, once for four years and once for two years. Others, such as Lu Mengzheng's first time, were prime minister only for one year. The overall trend is getting shorter and shorter.

There is only one explanation: the emperor does not want the prime minister to have his own team and have too high prestige. In that way, the imperial power will be divided.

The iron-clad Secretariat and the prime minister... It's a pity that Lu Zhuangyuan is smart all his life, but he can't see through this. His current strength only brought the foreshadowing to his future failure...

So what if he said it right? Is the emperor really not aware? The incident in Sichuan has been happening for nearly a year, and with the spirit of the big bitch, he will know nothing? Just a month before Li Fang was dismissed from prescription, the big bitch was still yelling at him, "You are waiting for your car to receive your salary, but how can you know if there are hungry people in the wild?" You guys are raising their salary at home one by one. Do you know there are starving people in the wild?

Zhao Guangyi finally couldn't hold on anymore because of the rebellion. On December 25, 20 days before Lu Mengzheng said this, Wang Xiaobo and Zhang Qi, the inspector of Xichuan, fought a decisive battle in Jiangyuan County. As a result, the two died together. The rebel army elected Wang Xiaobo's wife Li Shun as the leader, and celebrated the New Year's Day in Kaifeng City. The day after Prime Minister Lu said this, on January 16, the 5th year of Chunhua (994), the rebel army captured Chengdu. Li Shu officially became king, established a country, established a country, changed the era, and established a central government agency, cast his own copper coins, and officially competed with the Song Dynasty! He also divided his troops to four times and quickly expanded the results of the battle. He reached Jianmen Pass in the north and Wuxia in the south, and all the counties were harmed by him.

At the same time, Zhao Baoji was in chaos in the northwest. When the news came, the emperor was furious. On the 20th, he sent Li Jilong as the commander and Yin Jilun as the supervisor, and sent troops to conquer.

On the 21st, Zhao Guangyi had to face up to the rebellion in Sichuan. But the problem arose at the beginning. Who was sent to become the leader of Shu to suppress the rebellion? At this time, internal and external troubles were worrying. Do you believe that the wrong person was sent to the wrong person? Meng Zhixiang was robbed and established the Later Shu again? What's more, the generals at hand could reassure him, and there were too few capable people. After thinking about it, he sent out his trump card - the eunuch Wang Ji'en. This person is absolutely reliable in politics and has been tested for a long time. As for military ability, the other eunuch Wang was also a person who was born and died and passed through the swords in the front line. In Yongxi's Northern Expedition, who brought back the news of Cao Bin's defeat at Qigou Pass from the front line? It was this eunuch Wang. Especially he had a natural advantage - he was a eunuch. Who had heard of eunuchs who were called kings?

So Li Jilong and Wang Ji'en's two armies quickly started and rushed to their respective battlefields...

At this time, Li Shun wanted to rush to two points before the Song army entered Sichuan to reinforce: one was to store Zizhou, which had accumulated a large amount of vitality in the Song army. The other was Jianmen Pass... He wanted to lock the road into Sichuan and eliminate all Song troops in Sichuan... But don't be busy, there is another crucial question - order. Do you attack Zizhou first? Or take Jianmen Pass first?

Li Shun's choice was to send Xianggui to lead more than 200,000 heavy troops to pounce on Zizhou. As for the natural danger Jianmen Pass, the gateway to Sichuan, he only sent thousands of people to attack... This determined his defeat from the beginning...

The general of Jianmen Pass called Shangguan Zheng. He had only a few hundred old and weak soldiers in his hands and was about to fight to the death. As a result, he looked forward to the savior. Chengdu Army Supervisor Su Han brought the defeated soldiers who escaped from Chengdu City. The two of them joined forces and immediately surpassed the thousands of people sent by Li Shun. What kind of pass should he guard? The Song army rushed out directly. Li Shun's thousands of people were defeated, and only 300 people escaped back. These people were all killed by Li Shun after they fled back to Chengdu. The reason was that they "shocked the crowd" and the Song army's gate to Shu was saved. On February 22, the court appointed Shangguan Zheng as the governor of Jianzhou and Su Han as the governor of Zhaozhou.

As for Zizhou, Sichuan is easy to feel comfortable, and it starts to relax over time. But Zizhou magistrate Zhang Yong did not, and the police felt that he was the rebel.

Before Li Shun entered Chengdu, he began to think about how to defend the city. First, he trained the original city defense force, but felt it was not enough, so he temporarily recruited more than 4,000 people. There was no money to pay the salary? It doesn't matter. He used the treasury of nearby prefectures and counties. No weapons? It's even simpler. The bronze bell in the temple was melted and cast into arrows. He cut a large amount of wood, prepared a large number of ropes, and prepared a thorough preparation for war. He also applied for reinforcements from the court.

The reinforcements have not arrived yet, but he is as good as Shangguan Zheng. Lu Bin, who also retreated from Chengdu, passed by with soldiers from 10 states: Lu Bin, don't go anywhere. I appointed you as the guardian of Zizhou, so I will take care of my house here! In addition, Zhang Yong also dug a new moat outside the city... Can the 200,000 hungry people sent by Li Shun quickly break through such a city? As a result, more than 80 days passed, and Zizhou City remained unmoved...

On March 5, Goryeo surrendered to the Great Khitan and began to carry out the Great Khitan's official reign, using the Tonghe era name.

The war started at the same time in the southwest and northwest war zones, but the fastest-moving person was not Li Jilong or Wang Jien, but Li Jipang, the two-proud senior official who was the governor of the Dingnan Army of the Song Dynasty, served as the King of Xiping, the King of the Great Khitan.

As soon as Li Jilong left the country, Zhao Baozhong's men entered Kaifeng and said to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty: My brother Baoji is very obedient, especially if he listens very much to my elder brother, he is a loyal minister of the Song Dynasty... Give him a chance. To guarantee and to thank you for your kindness in advance, I specially contributed 50 party-energy war horses. You accept it with a smile, you will be kind... Zhao Guangyi replied that he is my brother-in-law, hurry up and kill him!

Li Jilong was faster, Li Jipang responded faster. He sent his confidants to find Li Jiqian and told the "good brother" all the actions of the Song Dynasty.

Survival requires wisdom. He did a very good job before. He couldn't afford to mess with any of the small relocations, the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Khitan. But his mind flashed. Why did I have to mess with them? Isn't it good to be friends with them? So he had an official position in the Great Song Dynasty and the title of the Great Khitan, and he also reconciled with the Small Relocation. But the good days were so short. The Great Song Dynasty sent troops. The better he used to be, the worse it is now. At least he had to ensure Li Jiqian's safety, because once the small relocation was arrested, he would be the first to be offered.

But he never expected that one night when the Song Dynasty army was still quite far away from him, his camp was suddenly attacked, and the other party was very familiar with everything about him. In a panic, Li Jibang fled back to Xiazhou City alone, and all his property was snatched away by the enemy.

At the head of Xiazhou City, he saw clearly that the enemy outside was... his good brother Li Jiqian. Li Jiqian was keen and realistic, and did not have any fantasy about his future. The storm was coming, so why not add more clothes to himself?

That night, Li Jipang watched Li Jiqian take away all his belongings at the head of Xiazhou City. He turned around and found that the city had become enemies. He was locked in a small dark room by his general Zhao Guangsi...

It was not until March 25 that Li Jilong's army entered Xiazhou City. Hou Yanguang and other generals persuaded Li Jilong to kill him, but Li Jilong only asked one question, "What's your name?"

That day, Li Jipeng trembled and said three words "Zhao Baozhong". His life was extended, and Li Jilong drove him into a van, escorted him to Kaifeng, and handed him over to the emperor for disposal.

The next thing was Li Jiqian and Yinzhou City. Li Jilong drove the army to kill him. But before he arrived, he won. Li Jiqian fled and Yinzhou City surrendered.

The worst happened, and Li Jilong's mood was extremely bad. He did not expect that Li Jiqian was so smart and dared to make a decision, and threw away the huge Yinzhou. It would be better to fight a big battle and cause both losses. In that case, the reinforcements of the Song Dynasty would come to help the war continuously, and Li Jiqian's Dangxiang people would die less than one until they died in the end. But it was obvious that Li Jiqian also saw through this point, and did not even have a decent resistance, so he completely chose to escape. From then on, how should he arrest him in the vast expanse?

On April 3, Zhao Guangyi appointed Zhao Guangsi as the Xiazhou Tuanjian envoy and Gao Wenxi as the Suizhou Tuanjian envoy. He also announced that Zhao Baoji's name was invalid. That person was not worthy of being a minister of the Song Dynasty. It would be better to call him Li Jiqian!
