As we said above, for Zhao Shuo, the "Miao-Liu Mutiny" was actually a blessing in disguise.
The reason why I say this is because in the process of multi-party joint rescue, Zhao Zhuo's popularity has soared unprecedentedly. The occurrence of the mutiny gave Zhao Zhao sufficient reasons to reorganize the so-called "Central Army", "Rebel Army" and "Liukou" on all sides.
In other words, the reason why Zhao Zhuo was able to become a real-power emperor was also thanks to the rare opportunity of centralization of power, the "Miao-Liu Mutiny".
Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan lost too quickly, causing the powerful factions at that time to lose the courage to challenge Zhao Shuo, and in this context, Zhao Shuo moved.
Where should the reorganization of the army begin? Zhao Shuo's choice was Fan Qiong. Zhao Zhuo believes that it is relatively easy to reorganize Fan Qiong's army because his identity and army composition are very special.
In Zhang Bangchang's time, Fan Qiong's army was the military basic disk of the pseudo-Chu regime, and the reorganization of such an army would relatively not cause opposition from most military leaders, because they did not have much in common with Fan Qiong.
Moreover, at the time of the Miao-Liu Mutiny, Fan Qiong's attitude was ambiguous, and when he received five invitations from Zhang Jun, he had always been like no one else, and after the pacifying miao-Liu mutiny, it should be justified to cut Fan Qiong's military power.
Zhang Jun, a member of the Privy Council, said: "Qiong is rebellious and full of sins. The subject zi pingjiang qin wang, all five sent people to the letter, the covenant order to enter the army, Qiong did not answer.
In this context, when Zhao Zhuo asked Fan Qiong to report to the central government, Fan Qiong was immediately overwhelmed.
Based on Fan Qiong's idea, it is probably believed that if the central government reports more evil and less auspicious, but not the central government reports, the probability is also more fierce and less auspicious.
In this dilemma of "cutting and not cutting and not cutting", Fan Qiong decided to take a risk.
When a senior civilian official came to Fan Qiong's army and asked him to report to the central government, Fan Qiong played a series of horrific tricks in front of this senior civilian official. That means: You dare to convey orders to our army for Zhao Zhao, and I will first let you see what kind of person I am!
In the face of Fan Qiong, who was dancing with his teeth and claws, the senior civilian official did not panic, but warned Fan Qiong: "Don't scare me, I am only responsible for passing orders, if you are willing to go to the central government to report, follow me; if you are not willing, then I will turn around and leave, as to whether you will become the second Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan, I am afraid that only God knows." ”
Qiong did not pray to the edict, first Chen Bing saw the sword, and stripped people to be afraid, and did not move, Xu Yue: "The general does not see Miao and Liu? Willing to be calculated. "Joonne went north to Xie'en, so he led his troops to Que.
Seeing that this official was so kind, Fan Qiong also began to mutter: Do you want to turn your face?
While Fan Qiong was hesitating, the official said, "When you go to the central government, you will definitely be fine, and you will be able to have super high treatment without effort.
The credibility of this statement was not high, but after Fan Qiong heard it, he was even more afraid to do it, because his army, in addition to being a black spot on the basic disk of the pseudo-Chu regime, was also related to a man named Wang Yan.
Wang Yan was Yue Fei's old boss and the leader of the famous Eight Character Army, and the later famous general Liu Kun was able to take over Wang Yan's Eight Character Army and play the Shunchang Victory that made him famous.
Qiong asked Hemen to praise Wang Yan as the commander of the former army of Pingkou. Yan knew that Qiongchen was not in charge, and it was difficult to work with him, that is, to call the disease, to seek medical treatment in Zhenzhou, and Qiong and his army were gone.
Before the second southern invasion of the Jin army, Zhao Sent Fan Qiong and Han Shizhong to fight against Jin in two ways.
At that time, Fan Qiong hoped that Wang Yan would follow him to the north, but Wang Yan was worried that Fan Qiong would pull himself along as a Song traitor, so he refused this request.
Wang Yan himself was reluctant to go, but Fan Qiong took this opportunity to temporarily take over his Eight Character Army.
When the imperial envoy Si Tongdu commanded Fan Qiong to lead troops from the Beijing Division to Dongping, the enemy Fang Sheng, Bang Yan had no soldiers, could not defend, so he abandoned his home and returned to the south with Qiong. Qiong led his troops to Huaixi.
At the peak of its numbers, the Eight-Character Army had about 100,000 men, and later more than 10,000 soldiers withdrew south with Wang Yan. Fan Qiong took over such an army before he dared to be deaf and dumb in the "Miao Liu Mutiny".
But now That Zhao Shuo had the absolute upper hand, if Fan Qiong had to insist on going his own way, who dared to guarantee that no one within the Eight-Character Army would stand up, respond to Zhao Shuo's call, and then slash Fan Qiong to death with a knife?
It should be known that during the "Miao-Liu Mutiny", Wang Yan explicitly refused the solicitation of Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan.
Yan was cured, and from Zhenzhou to cross the river, Miao Fu and others took Yan as the commander of the imperial camp, and Yan Said: "The owl is rebellious, and the act is to hoe, but to defile me!" "That is, to speak quickly, not to listen."
Zhao Zhuo was in the limelight and had a tough attitude, and although there were many troops under his command, they did not necessarily obey the discipline, so fan qiong finally chose to bow his head and decided to go to the central government to report.
Before going to the central government to report, Fan Qiong was still comforting herself, thinking that Zhao Zhuo would definitely not dare to kill himself for three reasons:
First, although my old Fan has come to you as an official, my brothers in the headquarters are all confidants, and if you Dare to kill people indiscriminately, my brothers will absolutely avenge me;
Second, my old Fan actively resisted jin during the Jing Kang years, and although he went astray later, in general, there was no merit and there was hard work, and you Zhao Zhuo killed me, are you not afraid of the chills of other military leaders?
Third, the world is very chaotic now, no matter where my old Fan is, he can be regarded as the number one person, and he can bring a lot of reinforcements for you Zhao Zhao, and it is not worth it at all for you to kill me.
Is Fan Qiong's self-consolation justified? If you think about it, it seems to be all right.
Fan Qiong was a very complex person, and during the Jing Kang years, he was one of the most cattle generals, because Fan Qiong had led his army out of the city several times to fight against the Jin army.
Needless to say, fan qiong was bound to lose more than win, and often defeated again and again, but during the Jing Kang years when the Song army was all-rounded by the Jin army, Fan Qiong could still lose many battles and fights, which can already be regarded as a "brave general".
Pengzi, the Jin people attacked the Tongjin Gate, and Fan Qiong sent troops to burn his village.
Uncle Zhang heard the flying stones on the south wall at night and attacked the tower, and Fan Qiong and fan Qiong divided their troops to attack the enemy camp, wanting to burn its artillery mounts, and saw the iron horses from afar, and the sergeants did not fight Chen and ran away, and drowned thousands of people.
The Jin people attacked Tongjin and XuanhuaMen, Fan Qiong fought with a thousand people, crossed the river, the ice cracked, and there were more than 500 people, which was demoralized.
After defecting to Zhang Bangchang, Fan Qiong has always been the number one person in the military circles of the pseudo-Chu regime. Of course, in order to ensure his position in the puppet Chu regime, Fan Qiong attacked many anti-Jin troops, and his hands were stained with the blood of anti-Jin righteous soldiers.
On that day, the wind and haze, the sun was dizzy, the hundred officials were depressed, and Bangchang also changed color, but Shi Yong and Wu Gan, Mo Li, Fan Qiong, etc., gladly thought that they had the merit of Zuo Feng.
Hemen Xuanzang Wu Ge, a disgraced and humiliated person, led hundreds of internal officials to kill his wife and children first, burned his residence, and raised volunteer soldiers outside the east gate. Fan Qiong deceived and conspired to order Xi to abandon the army, but attacked from behind, killing more than a hundred people.
After the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhuo believed that Fan Qiong had a very high reputation and that his military strength should not be underestimated, so he did not dare to pursue Fan Qiong's black history too much. It is always said that Fan Qiong is just an uneducated warrior, and he has completely been deceived by fighting for the pseudo-Chu regime.
In the beginning, Zhang Bangchang was abolished, and Fan Qiong was not at ease. The court held the troops in his hands and issued a special edict: "Jieyi is therefore responsible for the master, as for the warriors and pawns, it should be broad."
In order to reassure Fan Qiong, Zhao Zhuo also gave Fan Qiong a formal name.
Yi Wei, with Fan Qiong as the envoy of the Dingwu Army and the imperial envoy Of the Imperial Camp, was under the command of the capital.
Later, Fan Qiong actively helped Zhao Zhuo suppress various rogues, successively leading the siege and suppression of Li Xiaozhong, who occupied Xiangyang, and wreaking havoc on Liu Zhong in Shandong.
Fan Qiong, the commander of the Imperial Camp Division, was going to Xiangyang, and Li Xiaozhong, hearing this, led his troops to invade Jingnan Province. Qiong was defeated, and Xiao Zhong led the crowd to Jingling.
At the beginning, Shandong thief Liu Zhong, known as "White Felt Kasa", led the crowd to Huairen County. Fan Qiong, the former general of The Imperial Camp Pingkou, was in Jingdong and sent his commander Zhang Xian to attack him.
Fan Qiong believed that although he was deaf and dumb in the "Miao Liu Mutiny" fashion, there were many people who did this at that time, and Zhao Zhuo would not kill people. But Fan Qiong obviously underestimated Zhao Shuo's determination and fierceness, and he himself was killed by Zhao Shuo not long after he arrived at the central government to report.
After Fan Qiong was killed, did his concubine troops react? Judging from various historical records, it seems that they intended to avenge Fan Qiong, but later gave up. Not long after, Zhao Zhuo sent Wang Yan and others into Fan Qiong's concubine troops and completed the reorganization of this unit.
Jun counted Qiong's sins, and Qiong was stunned, so he tied up Dali with junbing, so that the light would come out of the world, and caressed his people: "The curse stopped Qiong'er." If you wait for the Gu Tianzi to be a soldier of his own. Everyone threw their hands and said, "No." Therefore, the Fu Bazi Army also paid the Wugong Dafu, the Chungju Defense Envoy, and the New Zhizhao Prefecture Wang Yan, while the rest of the troops were divided into the Five Armies of the Imperial Camp.
After seeing Fan Qiong's tragic end, Yang Weizhong and Liu Guangshi also began to tense up.
After receiving Zhang Jun's invitation from King Qin, Yang Weizhong had been watching. Later, although Yang Weizhong's military region also chose to send troops to serve the king, the commander was the civilian official Lü Yihao, and Yang Weizhong did not personally go out on horseback.
In the beginning, Miao Fu and others summoned Yi Hao to go to the battlefield, and ordered yang Weizhong to be paid by his subordinates, and Yi Hao knew his intentions, and gave him loyalty to more than a thousand people who were weak, and he would beg the thief with his elite soldiers.
After receiving Zhang Jun's invitation from King Qin, Liu Guangshi was also on the sidelines. Later, Zhang Jun repeatedly urged Liu Guangshi to choose to send troops to respond.
First, Zhang Junsan left Liu Guangshi's letter, exhorted to be the king of Qin, and sent the military Yang Kefu to Zhenjiang Quzhi, and Guangshi did not report it.
In stark contrast to Yang Weizhong and Liu Guangshi were Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong, who immediately responded by sending troops to respond after receiving Zhang Jun's invitation from King Qin.
After Fan Qiong was killed, it seemed that it was Yang Weizhong and Liu Guangshi's turn next.
But this time, Zhao Zhuo did not give a fierce hand, he began to promote the loyal Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong, so that these two people continued to squeeze the power in the hands of Yang Weizhong and Liu Guangshi.
In the face of the aggressive Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong, Yang Weizhong immediately chose to be soft, and Liu Guangshi fought with his own strong soldiers, and at first he still wanted to compete with Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong.
However, with the passage of time, Liu Guangshi found that there were fewer and fewer people who supported him, so he slowly stood aside.
After Fan Qiong was killed, the middle-level officers represented by Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong began to occupy an increasingly important position, and it was not long before the low-level officers represented by Yue Fei also began to emerge.
Both groups of people had one thing in common: once upon a time, they both had the opportunity to become the leaders of the independent army, but they chose to support Zhao Shuo, and then slowly grew up in Zhao Shuo's basic plate.
In addition to Fan Qiong, Yang Weizhong, and Liu Guangshi, someone else suggested to Zhao Zhao: "That guy in Quduan is not a good thing, he dared to try to kill Wang Shu, try to annex Wang Xie's army, and dare to seize Wang Shu's great seal." The implication was to suggest that Zhao Zhuo get QuDuan back to dispose of it.
Zhao Zhuo listened to this suggestion and ordered Qu Duan to go to the central government to serve, but Qu Duan was not stupid, and there was not much difference between the central government at this time and Yan Luo Hell, and it was Fan Qiong's second, a dead end.
But if you don't go, in case Zhao Shuo directly buckles down a big hat that "disobeys the central authorities and is like a rebellion", can QuDuan bear it?
Qu Duan's subordinates cheered one after another: "We are also a hegemon in the northwest, he Zhao Zhao is far away in Jiangnan, what can he do to us?" Attitude can be soft, but people must not go to death! ”
Zhao Saw that Qu Duan could not come, so he wanted to continue to make moves, but was persuaded by Zhang Jun. Zhang Jun believes that the northwest is too far away from Jiangnan, and it is difficult for us to exert influence on that place for the time being, so it is better to temporarily give up punishing Quduan, wait for the minister to go to the Sichuan-Shaanxi area for a few years, and find an opportunity to take quduan and his gang away with the pot.
Since the return of Wang Xie and Xie Liang, the imperial court heard that Qu Duan wanted to behead Wang Shu, suspecting that he had a rebellious intention, but summoned Duan with the imperial envoy Si Ti and his party, and he was suspicious of it, and Zhang Chen, the judge of Quan Shaanxi, advised Duan and did not listen. The speakers clamored and opposed, and the end was self-evident, so that it was dredged into words, and the hundred mouths were clear and did not react.
Later, Zhang Jun did what he said, he first tried his best to appease Quduan, and then constantly divided Quduan's generals. Qu Duan repeatedly tried to fight Zhang Jun, but finally lost and was executed by Zhang Jun.
Many people know that when Qin Juniper killed Yue Fei, he said a "nonsense" and thought that Qin Juniper's move was very shameless. But in fact, this way of installing the crime was really not Qin Juniper's original.
When Zhang Jun killed Qu Duan, he gave a crime of arbitrarily discussing state affairs, and the nature of the incident alone was even more shameless than "nonsense".
The so-called Quduan vainly discussed state affairs, which means that on a certain day in a certain month of a certain year, Quduan wrote a poem pointing to Sang Andhuai, which proves that Quduan has long wanted to rebel.
Shu waited for the knowledge, that is, the words: "Trying to write a poem inscription, there is a rebuke to the meaning of public opinion: 'Do not go to Guan Zhongxing's cause, but come to the river to fish and boat.' This is also its sin. "Junnai sent Duan Gongzhou to prison.
Qin Ju said that Yue Fei "may have" committed a crime, and Zhang Jun even said that Qu Duan used a grumbling method to cover up his intentions for rebellion. It can be seen that in that era of wars and chaos, everyone's discipline value does not seem to be very high.
