Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

On June 15th, Zhong Xiang summoned all the elders of the White Lotus Sect to discuss the important affairs of the rebel army.

"How much food and grass have you got these days?" Zhong Xiang looked at the elders below and asked.

"During this period, we attacked the prefecture, but we won some places, but we didn't get much grain and grass! The prefectures around Dongting Lake have already been robbed by us. We passed by and we can't get grain and grass." An elder said.

Zhong Xiang frowned.

"Master, in the beginning, many people took refuge in our Dongting Volunteers, but now there are not many people taking refuge in us." Yang Ma said.

"Oh? Why is this?" Zhong Xiangdao.

"We revolted against the court at the beginning! People everywhere were oppressed by the court, and many of them couldn't survive, so they naturally took refuge in us! But in the past six months, we... I am very afraid of us, so I don't want to join us anymore." An elder hesitated.

"Nonsense! We are the rebels, and many things are compelling! They are all dog courts. They have transported all the food and grass away. We have no choice but to grab those untouchables." Zhong Xiang said coldly.

"Big Chief, when we went to robbery this time, we got a message." Another elder stood up and said.

"What news?" Zhong Xiangdao.

"It is said that the imperial court issued a decree to exempt more than 30 state capitals from taxes around Dongting Lake! The little emperor of the Song Dynasty also said that he would send people to the Dongting Lake area for disaster relief and distribute food to the people for free!" the elder said.

"Oh? There is such a thing? This is impossible!" Zhong Xiang shook his head and said.

"I also think it's impossible. How could the imperial court be so kind? How could the emperor be so kind? This is obviously deceiving the people around Dongting Lake, but those people are so stupid that someone believes the court's lies! What should I do?" That elder said.

"These are small things! Even if there are some untouchables who believe in the lies of the imperial court, what about it? The world will be in chaos! Jurchen is extremely powerful, they are going south from the north, and the imperial court is not an opponent! At that time, we will join forces with the rebels in Lianghuai There is no problem in winning Jiangnan! Don’t worry about it! I’m thinking about a big thing these days." Zhong Xiangdao.

"I don't know what's the major event?" Yang Ma asked strangely.

"We have been in Dongting Lake for a long time. Eight hundred miles of Dongting have been completely occupied by us, and some state capitals in the south of Dongting Lake have also been occupied by us. I think we should expand our territory." Zhong Xiang said with some excitement.

"Expand the site? How to expand the site?" An elder said.

"That's what I think. Let's go west and take down Wuling and Jiangling! We will also take down some of the states and counties in the middle of these two places! Then we will formally establish the imperial court with Wuling, Jiangling and Yueyang as the center!" Zhong Xiangdao .

"What? Building a court? Are these three places enough?" The elder asked in surprise.

"These three places are enough! With these three big houses, as well as dozens of prefectures and counties among these three big houses, plus eight hundred miles of Dongting Lake, our territory is already big enough! Once our imperial court is established, The momentum will inevitably rise. At that time, heroes from all over the world will come to vote. At that time, we don't need Jurchens, we can all occupy the entire Jiangnan." Zhong Xiang said excitedly.

"This..." The elders below do not know what to say when you look at me and I look at you.

These elders are all disciples of the White Lotus Sect. They have high martial arts skills, and they are all outstanding figures in the arena, but they have no experience in letting them fight wars and making strategies! Don't talk about them, even if it was Zhong Xiang and Yang Ye, they thought it was one place, and they didn't have any experience in governing the country! Of course, the Bailian Sect knows some tricks to confuse the people, this is their strength!

"You all think about how to attack Wuling, Jiangling and other places! Let's also make a strategy! Then we will attack." Zhong Xiangdao.

At the moment these elders began to discuss, they only discussed for a long time, and they did not formulate many strategies! In the end, Zhong Xiang could only make a decision, choose a good day and auspicious day to worship the sky, and then lead hundreds of thousands of chaotic people to the shore together, and then head toward Wuling desperately! After the rebels occupied Wuling, the people of Wuling were transformed into rebels, and then more people were taken to attack Jiangling.

"You all prepare well. By the way, Wang Boyan has provided us with a lot of grain and grass recently. He explained that there will be a batch of grain to be shipped tomorrow. Yang, you go and pick it up." Zhong Xiangdao.

Yang Mo nodded.

"Wang Boyan seems to really want to take refuge in us, his sincerity is enough! In this way, when you go to see him, Yang, let him take the entire Yueyang City and submit to us now! He should agree!" Zhong Xiangdao.

"Okay!" Yang Ye agreed.

At the moment Zhong Xiang waved everyone to leave, he himself spread out a map and "meditated" there. He wanted to see what could be improved in the "strategy" of the chaotic people attacking Wuling and Jiangling! Can you use some tactics!

There were no literati and inkmen in the entire Dongting Lake Rebel Army, no one made any suggestions, only these people from the White Lotus Sect were thinking hard there! In history, when Yue Feiping rebelled against Dongting Lake, he did not spend much effort to recover Dongting Lake easily, mainly because these people in Dongting Lake were really bad! Moreover, these "rebels" in Dongting Lake were supported by the people at the beginning, but in the end they only knew about burning, killing and looting. The surrounding people only feared them, and no one was willing to support them anymore!

Yang Ye had already strode towards the outside, seeing the soldiers of the rebels continuously along the way.

"Have you heard that the emperor has made an order to exempt Dongting Lake from taxes for three years!"

"Your Majesty also made an order to forgive all of us for our sins! As long as someone goes out and surrenders within two months, he will not be blamed immediately! Moreover, I heard that the emperor will send someone to help the disaster! The emperor said that if someone starves to death First of all, local officials must be held accountable! More than a thousand people died of starvation, and the prefects and prefects must be dismissed and investigated! This is the sage!"

"We rebelled at the beginning because Emperor Jianyan was persecuting too much! Now that Emperor Jianyan has been killed by Emperor Xuanwu, Emperor Xuanwu and Emperor Jianyan are very different! Why don't we go back?"

"Hey! Following the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect, they said they could build a flourishing age of white lotus, where everyone has food, everyone enjoys a blessing, and everyone does not need to work! But now? We can no longer live on this island! When the army comes, we will run around like mice! Moreover, many of our former relatives and friends were killed by our own people, and people outside Dongting Lake also called us bandits. After we died, we wanted to see our ancestors and ancestors. Nothing! What white lotus flourishing age is completely deceiving! The heavenly soldiers of the White Lotus Sect have not come down from the sky now! It is said that some of the'divine arts' performed by the elders of the White Lotus Sect are just tricks, and we are all caught by them. Cheated!"

Several rebels were whispering there!

At this moment, Yang Mo came over.

Yang Me looked at these rebel soldiers and felt furious. He kicked a rebel soldier fiercely. At that moment, the rebel soldier fell to the ground, clutching his chest and screaming constantly!

The other rebel soldiers were angry and rushed towards Yang Ma. Yang Ma sneered, and after a few more feet, these rebel soldiers fell to the ground!

"You pigs and dogs who are inferior to you, dare to slander the sacred religion! You spread horrors, and I will kill you now!"

Yang Ye had already pulled out the sword from his waist, and at this moment, he suddenly felt something wrong!

I saw the surrounding rebel soldiers coming here one after another, and many people had anger in their eyes!

"What are you going to do? Are you going to rebel?" Yang Ma said fiercely.

The rebel soldiers stopped in fear, but they did not back away. Someone approached the fallen rebel soldiers and stood beside them, not allowing Yang Ma to harm them.

"Things inferior to pigs and dogs! Humph! If it weren't for these untouchables to fight the world, I will kill them all now! No matter, spare a few of them today!" Yang Ma secretly said.

He strode forward, and the soldiers of the rebels didn't dare to stop him, they could only watch him leave.

"These elders are really disgusting! We are living in a difficult situation, but they are fragrant and spicy! They don't care how many people we starved to death the other day!"

"They just let us rush up and attack the city for them! Every time we are killed and injured, they follow behind and never take the initiative to rush forward!"

"Why do we still work for them? Following them, we are not as good as before! Emperor Jianyan is ruthless, but they are even more ruthless!"

After Yang Mo left, the rebel soldiers were aggrieved one by one!

At the beginning of the Bailian Sect, it was "to have fun with the people." When the elders and disciples confuse the people to rebel, they behaved very charitably! But after the success of the rebellion, these White Lotus elders and disciples have become a new class in the first time, oppressing the ordinary volunteer soldiers! By now, Dongting Lake Rebel soldiers' respect and obedience to the White Lotus Sect has changed from the beginning to the present loathing!

It's just that the White Lotus Sect has ruled them for so long, and they don't have the guts to rebel now! However, as Zhao Chen’s imperial decree came here, many White Lotus soldiers had already planned to flee here! This army has no combat effectiveness now!

However, Zhong Xiang, Yang Ma, and the elders of the White Lotus Sect did not take the so-called "sacred decree" in their hearts.

"Would you like to see Junior Sister Song?" Yang Ma asked suddenly after walking for a while.

Thinking of Song Qingyao, he was about to immediately turn around and head to the bamboo house by the lake. After thinking about it, he stopped.

"When I return from Yueyang, I'll go see her again! I have been too busy recently, but I still can't forget this plan of cooking mature rice with raw rice! You must get her!" Yang Ma secretly said.

In the afternoon, he took more than 10,000 soldiers to the north by boat, and arrived at the shore in the middle of the night.
