Turbulent Times Chapter 1212: Rebels are everywhere

From the beginning to the end, there was no mention of the 20,000 soldiers and horses in Yingyang Mansion. , but Xue Li knew very well that Wang Junlin had forcibly set up the Marching Commander's Mansion privately without the authorization of the court, but the current situation in the Sui Dynasty made him very confused. I forgot, and there was no secret order, Xue Li didn't know where to go.

The most uncomfortable thing for Xue Li was that Wang Junlin seemed to have ignored him, he had never been summoned beforehand, and there was no place for him in the military commander's mansion, which made him even more uneasy, always feeling that disaster was imminent.

…

…

After announcing the establishment of the Marching Commander's Office, Wang Junlin called a small meeting of his confidants.

Different from being superior before, Wang Junlin asked people to arrange a round table in the meeting room to discuss matters. Wang Junlin and Du Ruhui, Liu Ziming, Yuchi Jingde, Luo Shixin, Shan Xiongxin, Lu Han, Guan Xiaotong, Huang Shaoqiu, Shen Guoer, Yang Kongchan and others sat around the table.

"Okay, now that the situation analysis meeting is being held, Guo'er will first report the information on various aspects?" Wang Junlin said with a serious expression.

Shen Guoer had already prepared, and everyone had a document in front of them. She stood up and said simply: "Two years ago, that is, in the fifth year of Daye, there was a "crazy bandit" in Changbai Mountain (now northeast of Zhangqiu, Shandong) Tens of thousands, this is the first time that rebels appeared on a large scale in the Sui Dynasty, but they were suppressed by the imperial army soon after, and the remaining thieves hid in the mountains."

"Last year, there were riots in Yanmen (now Dai County, Shanxi Province) in the north and near Luoyang. Although they were all suppressed soon, they were regarded as a harbinger of rebels everywhere."

"The north and south of the Yellow River suffered the most serious disasters during the process of building a new capital, repairing the Great Wall, and digging the Grand Canal. Last year, the emperor ordered the attack on Goguryeo, recruiting more than one million soldiers across the country, and forced another three hundred Tens of thousands of peasants transported food and equipment. Due to the outbreak of the epidemic, less than one-third of the peasants finally returned to their hometowns. The crops were lost, the fields were scarce, and the court had no food for disaster relief. Countless people starved to death.

According to the information gathered by our spies and the Lanyiwei Mansion, since the conquest of Goguryeo ended, in just half a year, anti-thief forces have sprung up throughout the Sui Dynasty, with more than 300 incidents successively. "

"At present, the largest group of rebels is in Zouping (today's Zouping North, Shandong Province). Minwang Bo gathered peasants based on Changbai Mountain. He called himself 'Zhishilang'. During the Goguryeo period, he wrote "Song of Don't Die to the Liaodong Wave" against the Liaodong campaign to mobilize the people. Affected by this "Song of Don't Die to the Liaodong Wave", many peasants who escaped from conscription joined Wang Bo's rebels one after another. The imperial court gathered a large army to encircle and suppress many times, but all failed. At present, Zhi Shilang's men are said to be 100,000, but according to the situation of our spies, Wang Bo already has more than 70,000 people in his hands. Excluding women, children, old and young, he can No less than 40,000 people took up arms and went to the battlefield.”

"In addition to Wang Bo, Liu Badao from Pingyuan (now Shandong Ling County), Zhang Jincheng from Qi County (now Xiajin, Shandong), Sun Anzu and Dou Jiande from Zhangnan (now east of the old city of Hebei), and Bohai (now Xiajin, Shandong) Gao Shida in the southwest of Yangxin in Binzhou City, Shandong Province, Zhai Rang in Wagangzhai in Weicheng (southeast of Huaxian County in present-day Henan Province), and Du Fuwei in Zhangqiu (northwest of Zhangqiu in present-day Shandong Province) and other anti-thief forces have tens of thousands of people. Under the encirclement and suppression of the imperial army, it has been preserved to this day, and the soldiers and horses under his command have already possessed a certain combat power."

"As for the rest of the rebels, there are countless. But they are mainly concentrated in Shandong, Hebei, and Henan. Almost all of them are from poor peasants who escaped conscripts, and there are also Muzi (herdsmen who are not free). Recently, the emperor ordered a thorough investigation of temples all over the world, and some lower-level monks have also joined the rebels.”

Shen Guoer finished speaking in one breath, paused, pointed to the map hanging on the wall, and concluded: "At present, under the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court officers and soldiers, there are twenty-one rebels that can be preserved, of which , fourteen branches in Shandong, four in Jianghuai, and one in Henan, Guanzhong, and Hexi. Judging from the current situation, the areas controlled by the rebels or in trouble are gradually expanding, and the focus is still on Hebei and Shandong, and the distance between the two places We are Fan Yang

The county is not far away, but the prince's reputation spreads far and wide, these rebels dare not come to cause trouble, and under the prince's rule, the people of Fanyang County can live better than other places, so the rebels can't attract them people. "

Du Ruhui saw Shen Guoer finished speaking, looked at the map, and finally pointed to the land in Zhangnan (now east of the old city of Hebei) closest to Fanyang County, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, this Sun Anzu and Dou Jiande occupy the area of ​​Zhangnan. The land, as far as I know, is more than a hundred miles away from our Fanyang County. It can be reached on foot in two or three days, and cavalry can arrive in one day. I think that this Sun Anzu and Dou Jiande can be destroyed. The trouble of lying on the couch can also be regarded as a deterrent to the rest of the rebels, ensuring that the rebels will not dare to run wild in my Fanyang County."

Yuchi Jingde immediately stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, hand over this thief to the humble official, and the humble official took three days to wipe out that Sun Anzu and Dou Jiande, killing all the rebels."

"I will kill whatever I want. These rebels are said to be rebels, but in fact most of them are people who have been cornered." Luo Shixin, Lu Han, Guan Xiaotong, Shan Xiongxin and others sat down first and scolded Yuchi Jingde.

"What the prince said is that Meng Lang is a lowly post." Yuchi Jingde smiled mischievously, and sat down again.

Wang Junlin turned his head and said to Du Ruhui appreciatively: "Ke Ming is right, we can ignore the rebels in other places for the time being, but the rebels gathered by Sun Anzu and Dou Jiande must be eliminated."

After a pause, Wang Junlin remembered that in the original history, this Sun Anzu and Dou Jiande were both heroes, especially when Dou Jiande finally established a country in Hebei and ascended the throne as emperor, and was not defeated by Li Shimin until the establishment of the Tang Dynasty. Captured and executed.

Wang Junlin thought of this, and added: "And this Dou Jiande and Sun Anzu should not be underestimated. Later, Guoer will investigate the details of the two of them."

Note: "Death Song of Wuxiang Liaodong Wave" Sui·Wang Bo: Zhishilang in front of Changbai Mountain, purely wearing red Luomian back crotch. The long spear invades the sky for half a day, and the round knife shines in the sun. Go up the mountain to eat roe deer, and go down the mountain to eat cattle and sheep. Suddenly hearing the arrival of the officers and soldiers, he raised his knife and swung forward. For example, when Liaodong died, how could he be beheaded?
