A journey to the heavens starting from the Red Mansion

Chapter 145 Interfering with Jianghu forces
Not only was the court in Bianjing shaken, but the world of Song Dynasty was also in turmoil.

Of course, it was not because Liangzhe Road was annexed by the rebels, but because the largest beggar gang in the world in the area of ​​Liangzhe Road was wiped out by the rebels, and all Jianghu sects were required to abide by the order established by Lin Yao.

The cause of the incident was that Lin Yao took Wang Yuyan, who had just returned from Taihu Lake, to take a walk around Hangzhou, which had just been conquered, and experience the charm of this ancient capital of Wu and Yue.

The rebel army did not commit suicide, and the ancient city quickly returned to calm.

During the chat, Lin Yao shared his fun, and Wang Yuyan looked at him tenderly, covering her mouth and chuckling from time to time. Both of them were very happy.

Suddenly, his expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but hold Wang Yuyan's hand hard.

In her puzzled eyes, Lin Yao took her hand and walked to a remote house.

The lights in the slightly remote house were dim.More than a dozen people dressed as beggars drank from large bowls and ate meat, looking extremely carefree.

But not far away from them were a dozen gagged boys and girls, which made the scene feel very fragmented.

One of the ferocious-looking beggars frowned as he listened to the whimpering.

He put down the meat in his hand, looked at the boy and girl, and yelled angrily.

"You yellow-tongued brats, if you bother your uncle again, you won't just be tied up."

"Why bother with this? Come on, come on, keep drinking."

"Let me tell you, this batch of products are all very handsome. Those noble people who like this will definitely like them."

"The situation has been a bit serious recently, and the so-called 'rebellion army' has been gaining momentum. We need to be more cautious."

"That's right. We were able to purchase so many goods at once this time, thanks to Elder Quan's help."

"By the way, Elder Quan ordered us to get rid of this batch of goods as soon as possible and rush to the Apricot Grove. I heard that something big is going to happen there."

An old beggar wearing shabby clothes with many pockets said, stroking his beard.

These people exchanged words with each other, making them laugh from time to time.

They were chatting so happily that they didn't even notice Lin Yao and Wang Yuyan walking behind them.

"Ha! I didn't expect that the dignified Beggar Clan hides evil and evil. It's a pity that Gang Leader Qiao has a great reputation throughout his life."

At this time, some mocking words rang out, it was Wang Yuyan.

The voice was no longer as gentle as before, revealing a biting chill that made the Beggar Clan disciples present tremble.

"Who are you? You dare to make things difficult for me, the Beggar Clan."

The three people's pupils shrank, and they were startled. They looked at Lin Yao and Wang Yuyan who appeared in front of them, and said sternly.

For Lin Yao, things like human trafficking, harvesting and breaking branches are the most intolerable. The last time he discovered the grass on the grave was two meters high.

And Wang Yuyan is no longer the girl who lived in Mantuo Villa back then. She heard a lot about the evil of human nature from Lin Yao, and understood that the young children in front of her will have tragic endings in the future.

Those misfortunes made people sympathize, and they shattered Wang Yuyan's inner "filter" about the world.

Everyone present was surprised and confused when Lin Yao and Lin Yao suddenly appeared.

But then I thought about how powerful their gang leader was, and how the government officials would sell some face to their gang. Who were these two young men?
One by one, they reacted and shouted sharply in unison.

"You're a little girl, but you know that our Beggar Gang is the largest sect in the world, and Gang Leader Qiao is even more of a hero, so how dare you speak rudely?"

Lin Yao looked at these people with cold eyes, and figures appeared in the shadows around them.

The world is so big, how many such scum exist among these so-called decent sects.

Now that he has the ability to control it, he must completely wipe out these unscrupulous evildoers and reshape the order of the martial arts world.

"You control the force but bully the weak, and you also target children. How can you have the dignity to live in this world?"

"Capture them and send them to Su Xinghe for interrogation later. I want to eradicate all the beggar gangs in the territory."

The dozen or so people were instantly subdued by the Black Shadow Corps, and each of them lost their martial arts and ability to resist.

They suddenly howled in pain and looked at Lin Yao pleadingly.But he couldn't make any sound, his mouth was blocked.

Wang Yuyan first walked to the bound and gagged children and loosened their bonds for them.

Later, after the rebel army arrived, these children were sent home respectively.

……

With this fuse, the beggar gang forces in Liangzhe Road were uprooted.

Ordinary gang members who had no evil deeds, those who were willing to stay worked together to share the land, and those who were unwilling were kicked out of the two Zhejiang roads.

Those members of the Beggar Gang who committed crimes were directly beheaded in public trials. It is said that the blood on that day soaked the entire bluestone floor of Caishikou.

Afterwards, documents of "Martial Arts Order" were delivered by the insurgents to various places on the two Zhejiang Roads, and the Jianghuai martial arts forest was in an uproar.

Even if Lin Yaocai annexed all the way, the scope of influence is still far from that of the Song Dynasty.However, this news quickly spread all over the world at a speed that ordinary people could hardly imagine.

Even if the means of transmitting messages in the martial arts world are not as good as technological products, they still have some advantages that people dare not underestimate.

Flying pigeons deliver messages, fast horses and boats, as well as the qinggong skills of people in the world, as well as the donkey cart technology inherited from the Song Dynasty royal family.Gaolianghe Car God: Who do you think you are?

All in all, it was only a month, even from places where no documents were received, such as other places in the Song Dynasty, Liao Kingdom, Xixia, Dali, Tubo...

Wherever there are martial arts people, Lin Yao's matter of setting rules for the martial arts people has become a hot topic and sparked heated discussions.

Countless people in the martial arts world regarded him as a clown figure. He was just on the road, and they didn't want to resist the upcoming military front of the Song Dynasty, so they actually stretched their hands into the martial arts world.

I heard that most of the rebels came from a sect called Xiaoyao Sect, and their leader was a guy with no hair on his head.

It's really suicidal. When the Song Dynasty court reacts and takes action, it can destroy the rebel army with one hand.

So countless young martial arts people, whether they were members of the sect who had received the documents or not, took their swords, mounted their fast horses, and set off on the road.

These people either called their friends, made an appointment with a girl, or were alone, and rushed to the land of Jianghuai, just to witness the upcoming battle.

……

Time was running out. After annexing the two Zhejiang roads and eradicating the beggar gang, Lin Yao immediately started without waiting any longer.

He sent an order in advance to Wu Yazi, Su Xinghe and others, asking them to gather in Hangzhou City with other main members of the rebel army for a meeting.

On the afternoon of August [-], Lin Yao arrived in Hangzhou and held a meeting here.

The meeting first summarized the results of the rebel army's expansion and construction work during this period and reported on various key contents.

According to the current situation, Lin Yao's armed force has exceeded 7, including regular soldiers, auxiliary soldiers, and escorts from various places.

Through Su Xinghe's report, Su Yonglin learned that the construction of Hangzhou, the administrative center of Liangzhe Road, was also going smoothly.

Su Xinghe and others found the target and struck hard, regaining what was lost in the Song Dynasty system, and the rebel army grew rapidly.

By recovering what was lost in the Song Dynasty, the rebel army could grow rapidly in a short period of time?
All this originated from the system of the Song Dynasty.

In the early Song Dynasty, the old system of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties period was followed. In rural areas, li were working with household heads as servants to collect land taxes and various taxes.

Elders and young men were set up to be responsible for public security management and hunting down thieves.

Later, Li Zheng was abolished during Renzong's reign and replaced by Xiang Shushu.

In this way, the work of arresting bandits, managing household registration, collecting taxes, etc. was borne by the elders, household heads, and township clerks.

The Song Dynasty stipulated that rural servants should be dispatched on a rotating basis, and the wealthier first, second, or third-class head households should bear the responsibility.

Li Zheng is held by a first-class householder, the head of household is Li Zheng's deputy, who is a second-class householder, and a township clerk who assists Li Zheng in handling documents is served by a third-class household.

The system of taking turns to be the banker can also ensure that one family does not dominate.

Because it was a rural service and not a formal official of the imperial court, there was no remuneration.

But with the power in his hands, Li Zheng was responsible for managing a township with at least a dozen villages or as many as dozens of villages.

The political orders of the Song Dynasty were conveyed from top to bottom, and they ultimately relied on them to implement them. The taxes and various labor services collected from bottom to top also relied on their operation.

The elders, household heads, and village clerks constituted the lowest level of governance system in the Song Dynasty.

But the so-called households are all judged by people, and people say the grade is the grade.

In this way, the power of the Song Dynasty quickly became corrupted, and the power at the bottom was cannibalized by those who were interested.

It seems that there are many forces, but in fact they all have only one enemy.

After finding a common enemy, everyone worked together, which further expanded the base of the rebel army like a snowball.

Lin Yao also expressed his views on this situation in subsequent meetings.

"I think there is a problem with the way we distinguish exploiters and oppressors. There is no clear standard to distinguish these people specifically. Instead, we simply rely on the amount of resources we have. This may accidentally hurt innocent people."

“You have to understand that what we want to eliminate is the group of people who rely on their own power to exploit and plunder other people, not those who have slightly more resources.

Many of them may have been saved through hard work and frugality. There is no shortcut to getting rich in life.

As long as we do not rely on exploitation and oppression of others, or even the proceeds of plunder, we have no reason to get involved. "

After Lin Yao finished speaking, the people attending the meeting looked at each other.

But no, those people who are riding on everyone's head are all bossy people who are dictating to others and sucking the marrow out of the bottom.

rather than those who gain wealth through their own efforts.

Not to mention that those farmers who live a relatively prosperous life and have enough to eat are paid hired farmers to help with the work, rather than using power to force them.

Many of them themselves have to work in the fields, facing the loess with their backs to the sky, and secretly endure the persecution of bureaucrats and big landlords. They are the force that the insurgents should join forces with.

"Those who use their power to bully men and dominate women are the ones we need to resolutely eradicate."

Lin Yao promptly set a very clear guideline for the over-corrected rebel army.
