Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

Everything about it attracted the attention of Tokyo's elite.

For a time, Tokyo became a highly sought-after destination.

A shrewd businessman bought it from Tokyo.

They traveled day and night to deliver the goods to the south to sell.

The price can be doubled or even several times higher.

Although through the official gazette of Daliang,

Everyone in the world knows that those are items sold by the Mirror Shop.

However, Kagami only has stores in Tokyo.

And the demand exceeds the supply.

Therefore, many wealthy families in Jiangnan were willing to pay extra to buy these items.

It can be said that before the Liang army entered Jiangnan,

Yin Jing was the first to penetrate into Jiangnan.

Zong Ze solemnly said, "King Liang's words are invaluable."

"This humble official humbly requests that the Prince of Liang leave behind a piece of his calligraphy,"

"Hanging in the government office,"

"It will also keep me vigilant at all times."

Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "I won't write it."

"My calligraphy is no match for masters like Zhao Ji and Cai Jing, so I won't embarrass myself by showing it off."

"I invited you here because I want to talk to you about politics."

"Refugees are everywhere in Jiangnan,"

"If we wait for the imperial court to bestow an official title,"

"A round trip will take several more days."

"So I want you to take office tomorrow,"

"First, we will open orphanages, nursing homes, relief homes, and sanatoriums in various places to provide relief to the people."

Zong Ze nodded and said, "King Liang is benevolent."

"They only recruited 200,000 troops previously,"

"The treasury has been completely emptied."

"The treasuries of all the states are now empty,"

"The imperial court has exempted farmers from taxes,"

"We can't count on the autumn tax either,"

"I'm afraid we can only wait for the imperial court to allocate funds and provisions."

Chapter 1780 Selling Titles

In the past, every time Daliang conquered a territory,

They would kill corrupt officials and evil gentry in various places.

The confiscated money and grain were enough to cover the local government's expenses.

Some prefectures even paid excess money and grain to the imperial court.

After a general amnesty,

Corrupt officials and local bullies everywhere are terrified of losing their heads.

I wish I could tie myself up and lock myself in the house to prevent myself from doing evil.

Even with repeated crackdowns by local governments, they can't catch many perpetrators.

Naturally, even fewer people could afford to raid a house.

Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "The court had already made a decision when we arrived."

"He could be granted a noble title in Jiangnan,"

"Anyone who donates 100,000 strings of cash or 50,000 shi of grain to the imperial court may be granted the title of baron."

"How are you?"

This wasn't the first time Zhao Yuan had used this tactic.

They had exchanged a lot of money and grain back in Western Xia.

It was not promoted in various places afterwards.

It's simply because they don't want the titles of nobility in the Great Liang to become worthless.

The imperial treasury is now somewhat strained.

Moreover, transporting money and grain from Tokyo took even longer.

Only by quickly stabilizing the rear can...

Zhao Yuan was able to continue transporting troops south.

After destroying the Southern Song Dynasty,

There were three other states with relatively large military forces within the original Song Dynasty territory.

They are Lü Shinang, which occupies the south side of Jiangnan East Road and the north side of Fujian Road.

Li Gong, the Pacification Commissioner of Guangdong Circuit

The Ly Dynasty of Vietnam stole Guangxi.

In the west, along Jinghu Road and Kuizhou Road, some prefectures had submitted to Daliang.

Some submitted to the Southern Song Dynasty.

But it's all in name only.

The state governments are largely autonomous.

Once the Great Liang dynasty wipes out the Southern Song dynasty...

Jinghu Road and Kuizhou Road have been basically pacified.

Li Gong, the Pacification Commissioner of Guangdong Circuit, controlled tens of thousands of troops in Guangdong Circuit.

Although the number of troops was small

However, it was the army that Zhao Yuan valued most.

Based on the Song Dynasty system,

Even a pacification envoy could not completely control a single army.

Li Gong was able to command all the troops in Guangdong Province.

It's still because of Liu Huasan.

Liu Huasan was also a leader of a peasant uprising.

The uprising occurred before Fang La's time.

Emperor Huizong of Song established the Flower and Stone Tribute for many years.

The people of the southeast have long suffered unspeakably.

Therefore, Liu Huasan launched an uprising in Jiangnan West Road in the first year of Xuanhe.

However, it was suppressed by the Song Dynasty.

He had no choice but to lead his troops south, eventually reaching Guangdong.

Although Liu Huasan's uprising was not as well-prepared as Fang La's,

However, he also had quite a few heroes among his men.

Therefore, they were able to move from Jiangnan West Road to Fujian Road and Guangdong Road.

They could not be wiped out by the Song Dynasty.

After Liu Huasan fled to Guangdong Road,

Emperor Huizong appointed Li Gong as the Pacification Commissioner of Guangdong Circuit.

Let him lead his troops to wipe out Liu Huasan.

Li Gong was quite a legendary figure.

She was intelligent and eager to learn from a young age.

Strive for excellence.

He passed both the county and provincial examinations and achieved official rank.

However, he failed the imperial examination three times.

However, Li Gong did not give up because of this.

He resolutely abandoned his literary pursuits to learn martial arts.

In the first year of the Daguan era, he went to the capital to participate in the military examination.

He won the title of Martial Arts Champion in one fell swoop.

During the Daguan era,

Ethnic minority uprisings in the Yizhou area of ​​Guangxi

He was ordered to go and suppress the rebellion.

He was promoted to the right rank due to his merits.

Later, they advanced into Nandan Prefecture.

Local ethnic minority leaders paid tribute and submitted to the government.

Li Gong was thus promoted to the rank of Wugong Dafu.

In the second year of Xuanhe,

The peasant uprising army led by Liu Huasan grew stronger day by day.

From Qianzhou and Jizhou in Jiangnan West Road,

They kept calling all the way to Guangdong Road.

Emperor Huizong of Song saw that the generals he had sent out were unable to suppress Liu Huasan.

They hastily added one military officer each to the positions of Judicial Commissioner and Circuit Supervisor in Jiangxi and Guangdong.

Li Gong was also appointed as the Pacification Commissioner of Guangdong Circuit.

The commander led his troops to annihilate Liu Huasan.

Chapter 1781 The Chaos in Jiangnan

Because Liu Huasan had many heroic figures under his command.

Li Gong was also unable to quickly eliminate Liu Huasan.

However, Li Gong also continuously weakened Liu Hua's three armies.

Until July of the third year of Xuanhe,

Li Gongcai captured Liu Huasan.

The rebellion of Liu Huasan was completely quelled.

In May...

Tong Guan once sent someone to contact Li Gong.
