Third, the young man who counterattacked too much - Gao Yang

Appendix 5: (22) The Lack of Virtue King of Hou Jing's Rebellion

Hou Jing, who said he would do it, immediately prepared for the rebellion.

First, recruit soldiers. He himself only had eight hundred remnants of soldiers, and this point of human rebellion was certainly not enough, so he put into the team all the people who could run and move in Shouyang City and stepped up training.

Second, buy the hearts and minds of the people and stabilize the hearts of the military. Stop all taxes and tenant rents in Shouyang City. He also actively found targets for his soldiers and mingled with the local people.

Third, raise food. He stopped taxation, where is the money to raise food?

Find the great benevolent Liang Wudi!

He kept giving Emperor Wu of Liang a recital, and in the name of sending troops to the Northern Expedition, he asked for people (craftsmen), money, technology, and all kinds of different things.

Emperor Wu of Liang didn't even look at it, and with a big stroke of his pen: Give. The Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta are my turf, and this money is nothing.

Sometimes Zhu Yi couldn't look at it anymore: "Where there are those who wear suits to fight, military uniforms are still better made of green cloth."

Then Hou Jing asked for 10,000 pieces of brocade into 10,000 pieces of green cloth, and in addition, there was almost every request.

(He also asked Jin Wanpi to make robes for the soldiers, and the leader of the Chinese army, Zhu Dissent, gave him a green cloth)

In addition to his own troops, Hou Jing did not forget to look for foreign aid, and he and Xiao Zhengde, a good friend of the strategist Xu Siyu, took the lead.

Xiao Zhengde was the third son of Xiao Hong,the Prince of Jinghui of Linchuan (that is, Shuai, Qi, Fu, and Jiao).

Emperor Wu of Liang had not yet given birth to a child in his early thirties (at that time, he was very old), so he adopted Xiao Zhengde as his adopted son. Then, within a few years, Xiao Tong, the Prince of Zhaoming, was born, so Xiao Zhengde was sent back again.

After Xiao Yan ascended the throne and became emperor, Xiao Zhengde expected to become the crown prince, but in the end Xiao Yan still established Xiao Yan as the crown prince, which made Xiao Zhengde dissatisfied, and often expressed in his words, hoping to do big things one day.

To interject, this man has not been a good person since childhood.

The history books say that he was fierce and treacherous when he was a teenager, usually did not pay attention to etiquette (less rough and risky, informal etiquette), and liked to make friends with rogues and outlaws; then dug up the graves of people's ancestors and slaughtered the peasants' cattle (few and fierce, gathering outlaws, breaking the grave and slaughtering cattle).

Everyone may not have any concept of killing cattle, let's interject: at that time, cattle were very important production tools, and ordinary people killed cattle at will to behead them (non-Zongmiao Sheji sacrifices are not allowed to kill cattle, and all offenders die). Therefore, let's see the good man of Liangshan come to two pounds of beef at every turn, why not salivating chicken and sauerkraut fish? Not rebellious enough, not domineering enough!

It is reasonable to say that he is certainly not short of money, then it can only be the five elements and lack of morality, and we will call him the King of Lack of Virtue (he himself is a marquis).

When he grew up, he patted his head, surrendered to Northern Wei, claimed to be the crown prince, and asked for political asylum. However, he was not welcomed, stayed for a year, and returned to Nanliang with a gray face.

When Emperor Wu of Liang saw this nephew, he had mixed feelings, cried out to comfort him, and then resumed his official position (Emperor Wu wept and taught him, specially restored the original seal).

Xiao Zhengde, the king of lack of virtue who returned to Southern Liang, was vicious and often blatantly robbed the common people. He Xiao Zhengze, the Marquis of Leshan (younger brother of King De of Lacking Virtue, also did anything bad), Dong Xian ( the son of Dong Dangmen ( a southern Liang general ) in Chaogou , and Xiahou Hong , the eldest son of Xiahou Kui (KUI Ersheng , a famous southern Liang general ) , and four others, known as the Southern Dynasty Gang of Four, specialized in some of the activities of robbing houses and fishing and meat people.

These birdmen recruited a large number of outlaws, and at dusk they robbed their homes on the road, calling this "beating".

Under their active demonstration, the heroes and children of the rich at that time rushed to commit adultery and disorder, specializing in murder and robbery, and raping wives and daughters. The family can't control it, and the government can't stop it.

Later, Xiao Zhengze was exiled (later beheaded for rebellion), Xiahou Hong was imprisoned, dong Xian was killed for adultery with Princess Wang of Yongyang, and the common people lived a slightly peaceful life. Only Xiao Zhengde did not change his evil deeds, and also served as the director of the general office of the imperial palace.

Again, like his father Xiao Hong, this Xiao Zhengde also liked incest, and his own sister, Princess Changle (married to Xie Xi, a descendant of the Xie clan of Chen County). But it is not your affection and my wishes, it is the overlord who hardens the bow (Zhengde adultery).

In order to achieve the purpose of long-term hegemony, he tied up a maid, put on a jeweled jade bracelet, and then burned her to death, falsely claiming that Princess Changle had died tragically (burning the lord of the first place, binding a concubine, adding jade to the hand, possessed by a golden treasure, and the lord of the sound cloud was burned to death).

Princess Changle then called her Lady Liu externally, and was forced to continue her adulterous affair with Xiao Zhengde, and gave Xiao Zhengde two sons.

Everyone says that he lacks morality or not lacks morality?

Well, just such a person, still promoted all the way, followed his official position to become higher, his ambitions are also getting bigger and bigger, recruiting outlaws everywhere, thinking that one day he can change the dynasty. (Yin raises the dead, stores rice and goods, fortunately the country has changed)

Hou Jing saw this and wrote a letter to Xiao Zhengde, Hu Blow + Paint a Big Cake, Xiao Zhengde saw it and immediately agreed to ally with Hou Jing.

Hou Jing's side made preparations for the rebellion with great fanfare, and the sky was shaken, didn't the wind and noise leak at all?

Obviously not, there were different batches of people before and after reporting to Emperor Wu of Liang that Hou Jing had different intentions. For example, the grand strategist (self-proclaimed), Xiao Fan the Prince of Poyang (nephew of Emperor Wu of Liang), secretly initiated Emperor Wu of Liang: Hou Jing wanted to plot a rebellion.

At this time, Emperor Wu of Liang entrusted all border defense military affairs to Zhu Yi, and Zhu Yi stubbornly believed that Xiao Fan was alarmist and had other plans, so he reported to Emperor Liangwu with oil and vinegar.

Emperor Wu of Liang replied to his nephew with a letter: "Hou Jing is alone, and he really can't go on mixing before he belongs to us." It's like a newborn baby that needs the mother's milk. How could he rebel? Without further ado, I'm going to feed. ”

After a while, Xiao Fan reported to Emperor Wu of Liang again: "Emperor Zong, his movements are getting bigger and bigger. It is still too late to start now, and if you don't start it, I am afraid that something big will happen. ”

Emperor Wu of Liang was a little impatient: "Okay, okay, I have my own plans, you don't have to worry about it (the imperial court has its own punishment, don't worry about it). ”

After a while, Xiao Fan asked Emperor Liangwu to use hefei's army to attack Hou Jing, but Emperor Liangwu of course did not agree.

Zhu Yi was a little annoyed, and said to Xiao Fan's emissaries: "The King of Poyang is now so bullish that he is pointing fingers everywhere, and he does not allow the emperor to raise a diner!" Did you eat his rice? ”

From then on, Xiao Fan gave Emperor Liangwu another table, and Zhu Yi did not present it to Emperor Liangwu at all.

Unlike Xiao Fan, who judged that Hou Jing's rebellion was just speculation, Yang Yaren, who attacked Eastern Wei with Xiao Yuanming, was well-founded.

Hou Jing sent people to instigate Yang Yaren to rebel together. Stunned, Yang Yaren arrested Hou Jing's liaison officer and immediately reported the matter to Emperor Wu of Liang.

Zhu Yi came out again: "Hou Jing's rebel army is only a few hundred people, what can it do?" ”

Emperor Wu of Liang threw Hou Jing's liaison officer into Jiankang's prison, unaware of any problems with the brain circuit, and was released shortly after.

Hou Jing was originally frightened into a cold sweat, but now that this result has come out, he is naturally overjoyed.

Good to die, he said to Emperor Wu of Liang, "If I do something wrong, I am willing to be punished by the law." If you believe in my loyalty, please kill the sheep crow to return my innocence! ”

Emperor Wu of Liang only smiled at this recital.

Hou Jing's guts became fat, and he began to kick his nose and eyes: "Brother Di, to tell the truth, you are actually reconciled with Gao Cheng, this level is a bit low, Lao Tzu does not play with people with low levels." You see, you set aside a piece of land for me in the west of the Yangtze River, I will move there to live, we brothers hello, I am good, he is good.

If you do not accede to my request, I will lead thousands of troops and horses up the river and kill Fujian and Vietnam. In this way, not only will you be ugly on your face, but it will also make the three ministers too embarrassed to eat. ”

(If it is not allowed, that is, the handsome armor rides, on the river, to Min, Yue, not only the imperial court is ashamed of itself, but also the food of the three dukes)

In the face of such a naked threat, did Emperor Wu of Liang move?

No!

He asked Zhu Yi to reply to Hou Jing with a letter: "Poor families can raise a few diners and satisfy them." I only have such a guest as you, and let you feel so wronged in your heart, this TM is my fault! ”

From then on, Emperor Wu of Liang was more warm to Hou Jing, and a large number of rewards were sent to Shouyang in an endless stream, and the person who gave the reward in front had just turned back, and the person who gave the reward in the back set off again, which could often be encountered on the road. (Yi Jia rewarded the brocade cloth, and the messenger looked at each other)

Hou Jing was stunned: "Why is this happening?" I myself feel that it is too much, can they really be vulnerable? ”

After thinking about it for a few days, and taking a serious look at the strong army, Hou Jing grabbed a mahjong, numbered it, smiled, and revealed his fangs: "Brother Di, I listen to the cards."

August 10, 548 AD, Yellow Calendar: It is advisable to eat barbecue.

Hou Jing raised an army in Shouyang in the name of Zhu Yi, the leader of the Qing Dynasty, Xu Yi, the secretary of the Shaofu Province, Lu Jian, the right guard of the crown prince, and Zhou Shizhen, the superintendent of the production bureau, and officially opened the curtain on Hou Jing's rebellion.

The three people mentioned above, Zhu Yi, Lu Zhen, and Zhou Shizhen, were a very famous combination at that time: "Ten Thousand Suspect Men Heavenly Regiment", and the common people gave them the name "Three Beetles".

When Emperor Wu of Liang heard about Hou Jing's rebellion, he clapped his hands and laughed: "This absolute thing, jumping work and jumping work, dead color!" Well, picking up a wicker can pick him up and kill him, and then think, cut him just like that (what can it be!). I fold it up)! ”

Here to explain, Emperor Wu of Liang was from Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, so he was speaking northern Jiangsu dialect above, which probably means see black italics. Northern Jiangsu dialect is not easy to understand, so we will ask Emperor Liangwu to speak Mandarin or Nanjing dialect.

Emperor Wu of Liang then began to dispatch troops, appointing his own son, Xiao Lun the Prince of Hu, as the commander and commanding the armies to conquer Hou Jing.

At this time, Hou Jing highlighted the courage and means of the military master, determined to win the initiative, abandoned Huainan, and pointed his division directly at the old lair of Emperor Liangwu: the capital Jiankang (present-day Nanjing, Jiangsu).

In September, Hou Jing ordered Wang Xiangui to stay in Shouyang, falsely claiming to be out on a safari, and leading the main force to leave Shouyang City.

In October, Hou Jing threatened to attack Hefei, but in fact he raided Yuzhou (谯州, in modern Chuzhou, Anhui).

Shi Xiaotai was the nephew of Emperor Wu of Liang, and his temperament was tyrannical and extremely unpopular. As soon as Hou Jing's army arrived, Xiao Tai's men took the initiative to open the city gate.

To interject: Xiao Tai was not very good, his life was quite good, the city was conquered, he went to surrender to the fierce king, then surrendered to Northern Qi, and then later surrendered to Northern Zhou, surrendered once, and promoted his official position once.

After conquering Yuzhou without spending a single shot, Hou Jing attacked Liyang (present-day Anhui and County) without stopping, and easily took the city, and Liyang Stabbed Shi Zhuang Tie also became a leading party, leading Hou Jing's army to continue to advance, reaching the north bank of the Yangtze River.

Seeing the rolling Yangtze River, Hou Jing couldn't help but be embarrassed: "How to cross the river?" ”

The generals under him came up with an idea: "Shall we not take the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge?" ”

Hou Jing was a little annoyed: "Erhu egg! You don't know that the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge has regulations, and foreign license plates are not allowed? ”

Hou Jing scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks, when he was thinking hard. His rival Emperor Wu of Liang was also using his brains to summon his subordinates to a meeting to discuss countermeasures.

The veteran general Yang Kan was full of confidence and suggested immediately sending 2,000 soldiers to occupy the quarry (present-day Ma'anshan, Anhui), and then sending Xiao Lun's army to attack Shouyang. In this way, Hou Jing could not advance, nor could he retreat, and these rabble-rousers naturally collapsed.

(With 2,000 people rushing to quarry stones, the King of Shaoling attacked Shouyang; so that Jing could not advance, retreated to the nest, and the rabble-rousers naturally disintegrated)

Seeing this, everyone may have doubts, the Yangtze River is so long, Nanjing is so big. Why did Hou Jing have to attack Liyang in Anhui first? Then why is Yang Kan so sure that as long as the quarry in Anhui is guarded, Nanjing in Jiangsu will be safe and sound?

We'll see you next.
