29. Slaughter Night i
"No more water, no more eating!"
Li Tiegun swore - "As long as Fangzhou still exists on the ground for a day"
The brothers said, "Brother Li, this oath can't be made. At this time, the manpower who wants to conquer Fangzhou City (Fongling) can't do it. How can it become a reality?"
Li Tiegun said, "If you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent. I want revenge!"
Cause:
Fangzhou City is more than 200 miles away from Tagu Fort, where the mountains and forests are blocked and the terrain is steep. It has been a land of miasma since ancient times.
is also one of the four famous exiles in ancient times. The other places are Cangzhou in Hebei, Bazhou in Sichuan, Qianzhou and Qiongzhou in Hainan.
The first large-scale exile activity in Fangling began in the Qin Dynasty. According to historical records, in the 17th year of the First Emperor of Qin (240 BC), he rebelled against Qin and was killed by the First Emperor of Qin. More than 4,000 families of the remaining party and later more than 10,000 families of Lv Buwei moved to Fangling. Then, after Lv Buwei was dismissed from office and was afraid of suicide in Shu County, tens of thousands of his family members, party members, diners and familymates were exiled to Fangling.
In addition, in the 25th year of the First Emperor of Qin (222 BC), after the destruction of Qin, the king of the generals was also exiled to Fangling. It can be seen that during the heyday of the Qin Dynasty, Fang County was already a place of exile for the imperial court. Due to the increase of the exiled population, in order to strengthen governance, after the First Emperor of Qin unified China, Fangling County was under the jurisdiction of Hanzhong County.
However, surprisingly, the place in Fangzhou is not very far from the capital. Although it is remote, it is rich and fertile. Even if the mountains and rivers are dangerous, the exiled people can't escape here, but they can't die.
Therefore, a thousand years later, this is the reason for the plagiarism of folk customs in Fangzhou.
Li Tieqiang's group can become a climate in Fangzhou, and most of them are thanks to the gifts of the previous dynasties. If we delve deeper, Li Tieqiang is still the Tang Dynasty. Who is Li Chenghong, the descendant of Li Chenghong, the king of Guangwu? He is the grandson of Li Xian, born to Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty. In 665, he was demoted to Fangzhou. After returning to Chang'an, he became Zong Zhengqing. In 763, when Tubo occupied Chang'an, he became emperor. Later, he was exiled and died in release.
For hundreds of years, Li Tiegun's family tree has long been lost, and he did not know that he was a descendant of the Tang Dynasty royal family.
However, Wu Chongmao, a private salt dealer in Fangzhou City, knew it, because he had a family tree, which remembered the ancestors of Li Tiegun.
Three weeks ago, Chen Xiliang, the governor of Fangzhou, obtained a batch of military weapons from the court from Junzhou, as well as a new army trainer. This is a great good thing. It's a great help.
A few days ago, Fangzhou City was panicked and in danger by Li Tiegun's group. It was not until today that I saw hope. The court ordered to quickly recruit troops, stick to the city, and wait for the opportunity to cooperate with the court to suppress the bandit army to suppress the bandits.
Since there is the official's golden rule, the magistrate Chen Xiliang quickly ordered the inspector Dou Wu to recruit troops locally, and then seized all the time to drill day and night.
Soon after a month, the new army began to take shape, and the inspector Dou Wu asked Chen Xiliang to go out of the city to find the enemy.
Ten thousand troops. Fangzhou now has 10,000 troops. Even Chen Xiliang can't imagine that he has recruited 10,000 troops, of which there are more than 3,000 musketeers, one cannon, and the rest are vanes, local soldiers and archers.
After this period of intensive training, the morale of the Fangzhou army was like a rainbow. Chen Xiliang was quite satisfied. He quickly sent a letter and sent someone to Xiangzhou secretly, and joined hands with Zhang Youzhi, the magistrate of Xiangzhou, to calm the chaos.
The letter stated the steps of this chaos. After reading it, Zhang Youzhi got up and shouted, "Okay, I'm sending troops to lead the snake out of the hole. I'm going to kill Li Tiegun and dig out his heart to avenge my brother!"
A few days later, the snake came out of the hole.
The coalition forces of Xiangzhou, Suizhou, Jingmen, Xiazhou and Guizhou began to sweep the Jingshan area south of Xiangzhou and Fangzhou. Although the speed of the advance was slow, Li Tiegun had already received the wind. He quickly led the crowd to leave Dagubao to attack Xiangzhou City, making a plan to besiege Wei and save Zhao, hoping to lead to the search of the Song army.
At the same time, the 10,000 troops in Fangzhou were divided into two teams. One team led by Dou Wu to sweep the water thief villages along the east of the river, and the other team led by the leader of the civil corps to kill from the pink water river by land. The goal is to find the nest of the chaotic party in that area.
Although Dagubao is built on the most hidden tributary of the Zhushui River, with its back against the remnants of Jingshan Mountain, few people know it. However, there is a famous Bangzao Mountain nearby. Although Bangzao Mountain is not high, it is the cemetery of a vassal king in the Tang Dynasty, which is often patronized by tomb robbers.
Among them, there is a thief named Yi Zihui. This year alone, he took out a lot of good things from Bangzhui Mountain. Not only did he also find the copycat of Li Tiegun.
Coincidentally, this concubine Hui is from Fangzhou. He is a native of Fangzhou, and even his wife and children are in Fangzhou. He took an apprentice named Lv Xian. The two worked together to steal the tomb to get the treasure. A few days ago, they came back from Xiangzhou and sold the treasure for silver. Only a few days after returning to Fangzhou, he saw the government post a notice and wanted the Jiangyang thief Li. Iron gun, if someone knows where the thief's hiding place is, he can inform the government and reward the government with a thousand silver and a title.
My concubine Hui has been doing the business of stealing tombs and treasures for most of his life. Now that he is old, he feels more and more unable to do it. He has long wanted to do a big deal, and then the whole family moved to the capital to enjoy Qingfu. From then on, he has not asked about the world.
However, where does the money come from? In recent years, the army has been in turmoil, and his family has spent a lot. Most of the thousands of taels of money he has worked hard to save were spent by his son who is suffering from ttle diseases. Fortunately, he saved his life, otherwise the money would have been spent in vain.
Originally, the concubine's emblem was not crooked and did not want to denounce Li Tiegun, but when his apprentice Lv Xian went to Caifenglou to play with the girl, he accidentally spilled the beans. It was not about the tomb robbery, but the discovery of Li Tieqiang's cottage.
As a result, Zixia, the sister who was raised by Lv Xian, sued the government. Zixia wanted Lv Xian to stand out early and redeem her out out out out of kindness. The two of them lived in pairs as soon as possible. However, Chen Xiliang, the magistrate, doesn't care what you think. He just wants to find out the whereabouts of Li Tiegang and his group as soon as possible.
In just one night, the wind and clouds suddenly changed. First, Lv Xian was arrested in the government, and then the concubine Hui could not escape the law.
Although Lv Xian was bold enough to be afraid of death when he robbed the tomb, he was very afraid of the government. He was scolded by Chen Xiliang and trembled out. He had a heartache on the spot and almost died.
Since ancient times, tomb robbery has been a felony, not to mention the destruction of the nine clans. Anyway, once it is caught by the government, there is no good end.
Chen Xiliang was born as a civil official and respected his teacher. The virtuous and virtuous scribe was his creed. He couldn't wait to scratch Lv Xian and his concubine Hui.
However, at the thought of Li Tiegun and others harming the countryside, Lv and Ni are the diseases of fiber mustard, and you will know which one is more important.
More importantly, Lv and Yi know Li Tiegun's hiding place. If they kill them, they have to find them from the beginning. Now the arrow is on the string, and they need to cut the mess with a quick knife, regardless of the past. Therefore, Lv and Yi picked up their lives.
