Chapter 1670 Occupying Shuofang

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Huang Mingzheng accepted Guo Zihe's surrender and entered Shangxian County.  Although Guo Zihe and his family were not punished, all the aristocratic families who followed Guo Zihe and rebelled were killed.

    Guo Zihe, a foreigner with no official position, could rebel in Diaoyin County and kill the county magistrate. It would have been impossible without the support of the powerful families in the county.

    Because Diaoyin County is located in the north, most of the people in the county are Han people and mixed people.  These powerful families, although their family status is not as good as that of the aristocratic families in the Central Plains, they mostly support private soldiers, build forts, hoard food, and gather the people, almost like overlords.  When the Han family was weak, these people could start a rebellion in minutes.

    This was the case for the Zhe family, Yang family, Wang family, etc. in Diaoyin County in later generations.

    Huang Mingzheng cleaned up these powerful families who followed Guo Zihe and rebelled in order to ensure the stability of Diaoyin County in the future. Otherwise, once the army left, these powerful families would be prone to chaos.

    Huang Mingzheng¡¯s reason is also very strange.  It is normal for Guo Zi and a criminal to lead the crowd in rebellion.  You powerful and powerful clans are ungrateful if you take part in the rebellion after bathing in heaven's grace. How can you not kill them?

    Except for some strength, the powerful people in Diaoyin County are not ranked high among the aristocratic families. They are not even qualified to be called aristocratic families. They can only be regarded as local tyrants. They can be cleaned up without affecting public opinion at all.

    Of course, the resistance of these powerful people was also fierce. Although Huang Mingzheng killed the leaders of each family first, it still took a lot of effort to quell the turmoil of these powerful people.  This time, the Fengzhou Army surrendered more than 3,000 private soldiers and cleared out thousands of hidden households, which greatly increased the population of Diaoyin County.

    Huang Mingzheng ordered Zhang Yungu to lead the affairs of the county as the prime minister of Diaoyin County, and also ordered Wang Nan to defeat the Qing Dynasty and suppress the remaining bandits in the county.  Zhang Yungu was a native of Huanshui, Xiangzhou, and was later moved to Fengzhou. He was one of the first batch of talents trained by Chengjun University in Fengzhou. He was intelligent, well-read, good at writing, had a strong memory, and was especially knowledgeable about current affairs.  , is called Zhoulu.

    The problem in Diaoyin County is not big, but the problem in Shuofang County next door is big.

    The original county lieutenant of Shuofang County was Tang Zeng, and later he was appointed by Xu Yifeng, a general from Fengzhou, while the county magistrate was Emperor Shizong of Tang Dynasty.

    Shuofang County is actually a remote and small place with barren land and sparse population. It is not a good place for rebellion.  However, in the eleventh year of Daye, former Ying Yanglang general Liang Shidu took the opportunity to rebel.

    Liang Shidu¡¯s real name was Liang Xuanmo, a native of Shuofang, and a wealthy family in this county. His father Liang Ding died young and he was raised by his uncle Liang Bi.  Liang Bi once served as the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, took charge of the affairs of the imperial censor, and was also an important minister of the country.

    In the eighth year of Daye's reign, because his nephew Liang Wenqian was involved in Yang Xuangan's rebellion, Liang Shidu was implicated and was dismissed from office and returned home.  Master Liang was dissatisfied, so he made friends with his followers and became thieves.

    After the emperor besieged Yanmen, the world became increasingly chaotic.  After traveling far away to Jiangdu, Master Liang got the news and gathered a group of thieves to kill Emperor Shizong of the Tang Dynasty in Shuofang County and occupied Shuofang County to rebel.

    County Lieutenant Xu Yifeng was also defeated and fled north.

    As the tycoon of Shuofang County, the Liang family is powerful, and its influence and private soldiers are stronger than those of Tang Shizong.

    After Liang Shidu rebelled, he called himself the Prime Minister.  Huyalang general Zhang Shilong led his troops to conquer and was defeated by Liang Shidu.  Then Liang Shidu went south to conquer Honghua and Yan'an counties, and his strength grew rapidly.

    All Yan'an County was occupied by Liang Shidu, while Honghua County, except for Heshui County (now Qingyang City, Gansu Province), was defended by the prefect Liu Jian and Guanbei's arresting ambassador Bing Can, and the rest of the counties were all occupied.  Liang Shidu conquered.

    So Liang Shidu¡¯s momentum shook the entire Guanzhong.

    Li Yuan raised troops in Hedong, and Liang Shidu also thought of entering Guanzhong.  The Liang family is a stable and powerful family, and has been one of the five descendant families since the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is not comparable to Li Yuan, the doubtful Li family in Longxi.  So Liang Shidu became the emperor in Yan'an County, the country was named Liang, and Jianyuan Yonglong was established.

    After all, Master Liang came from a wealthy family, and he was not comparable to ordinary grass bandits.  In order to win over people's hearts and create the destiny, he dug up the ground to bury the jade, and when it was time to offer sacrifices, he suddenly discovered it, thinking it was auspicious, so everyone thought that Master Liang was the destiny of destiny, and people's hearts were all attached to it.

    If Chen Yi hadn¡¯t stationed a large number of troops in Yanchuan County, the Liang division would not have dared to easily offend the Fengzhou Army and would have sent its troops westward.

    However, Liang Shidu was also afraid of the Fengzhou Army in the north. In order to resist the opponent, he sent people to the Turks and colluded with the Turks to attack Fengzhou in the name of professing vassalage.

    Although the Turks were too afraid to attack, they also gave Liang Shidu great support.

    This time Huang Mingzheng marched south. If he wanted to threaten Guanzhong, he must first attack Liangshidu.

    Although Liang Shidu seems to have swept the three counties, his strength is not strong.  In northern Shaanxi, the land is barren and the population is sparse.  This resulted in Liang Shidu having only a handful of troops at his disposal, with only 20,000 men in full force, and unable to expand.  ?Such a force cannot even be considered a big thief in the Central Plains.

    Master Liang also saw the inherent shortcomings of Shuofang County. No matter how hard he tried, it was of no use.  So in order to expand their strength, all Liang divisions headed south desperately.  Especially when they heard that Tang Bi and others had entered Guanzhong, they were even more impatient, lest Guanzhong could be obtained by others.

    At this time, most of the troops in the Liang Kingdom were mobilized southward. Only his cousin Liang Luoren and generals Zhang Ju and Liu Min led 3,000 troops to guard Shuofang's old nest.

    The Fengzhou Army never took action against Shuofang, which made Liang Division relax their vigilance.

    Seeing that Liang Jun was unprepared, Huang Mingzheng ordered the army to divide into two groups. One group was commanded by Wang Huchen and went south from Dejing Town; the other group was personally commanded by Huang Mingzheng and went from Rulin County (now near Dongdangcha Township, Hengshan District, Shaanxi Province).  He led the Sheyan River (today's Wuding River in Shaanxi Province) and directly attacked Zhiyan Green City (today's Baichengzi in Shaanxi Province) in Shuofang County.

    After Xu Yifeng was defeated, he retreated to Dejing Town. At this time, he finally waited for the main force of Fengzhou.

    Master Liang is different from Guo Zihe. Their strength and foundation cannot be compared at all.  Therefore, although Xu Yifeng was the captain, almost all of Shuofang County was named Liang, and he had to be defeated at the hands of Liang Shidu.

    At this time, the Sui army joined Xu Yifeng and had a guide in Shuofang County.  Under the guidance of Xu Yifeng, the Fengzhou Army attacked from two directions, with overwhelming momentum.  Liang Luoren, who was stationed in Shuofang County, lost the battle and could no longer defend the city. He was defeated and fled south. However, Liu Min and Zhang Ju, seeing that the situation was not good, also moved to Changze (today's Chengchuan Town, the former banner of Otok, Inner Mongolia).  North) and Ningshuo (south of today's Jingbian County, Shaanxi Province) came to surrender.

    So the entire Shuofang County came down.

    Shuofang County is not big, because all Liang divisions rebelled, and everyone in Shuofang County was named Liang.  At this time, Huang Mingzheng occupied Shuofang and vigorously cleaned up the Liang family's influence. Hundreds of people were killed.

    The Liang family, which had taken root here for hundreds of years, was finally eliminated.

    The Fengzhou Army occupied Shuofang County, and Song Huiqi, an old man from Fengzhou, was appointed as the Prime Minister of Shuofang County to lead the county affairs. Xu Yifeng was also ordered to continue to serve as the county captain, while Huang Mingzheng led the main force to continue southward.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
