Chapter 686: Civil Disturbance 4 Yuan Chao fell silent.
Kong Sheng stared at Yuan Chao and said word by word: "How Yuan Chao, you have stayed by Kong's side for so long, you should know that what Kong Sheng has done is not selfish, let alone for personal gain."
If you and I work together to accomplish this, it will be a great merit for the people of the society, the country, and the world.
And the purpose of your rebellion against the government is nothing more than this, but to cause chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is the people who will suffer in the end.
Moreover, although they claim to be more than ten thousand, but for the imperial court, this is nothing at all, if Kong can't quell the rebellion in the shortest possible time, the imperial court will definitely transfer the elite of the Central Plains into Jiangnan to quell the rebellion, either Li Guangbi or Guo Ziyi, think about it, just a rabble, can withstand Guo Ziyi's elite soldiers and strong generals" Yuan Chao smiled bitterly: "The king of the county, it's really not Yuan Chao who shirks, but the cousin of the villain."
Yuan Chao swallowed and vomited, and stopped talking.
Kong Sheng's eyes sharpened: "It's just that he has personal ambitions."
However, do you know that with more than 100,000 displaced people in the south of the Yangtze River, how can it be that An Lushan's 200,000 iron horsemen have been in trouble in the Central Plains for many years, and finally it has turned into a bubble, not to mention that it is just a Yuan Ying Yuan Chao, this king wants to go to Deqing in person, and you will meet that Yuan Ying, are you willing to accompany this king to go" Yuan Chao's face changed greatly: "How can this make the county king's golden body, how can he easily get into danger, please rest assured, the villain is willing to persuade Yuan Ying in person, even if he gives up this life, he will inevitably let Yuan Ying return to the court and quell the disaster as soon as possible." ” Kong Sheng laughed loudly: "Kong Mou was in Henan Province back then, thousands of troops and horses came and went freely on the battlefield, and he was not afraid of facing tens of thousands of iron horsemen in the face of Hui with 5,000 horsemen, not to mention a group of Jiangnan refugees, the rabble Yuan Chao, you wait and see, how this king quelled this disaster with 500 Jiangning iron horses" No one expected that Kong Sheng would actually recruit in person.
Moreover, he really only took 1,000 Jiangnan officials and troops and 500 iron cavalry of Li Biao and Li Hu on the road.
Yang Qi took the civil and military officials of Jiangnan to stand on the tower of the city gate, looking at Kong Shengtong leading 1,500 people to march along the official road from Jiangning to Wuxing, his expression was a little complicated.
In the eyes of many people, Kong Sheng is really arrogant and arrogant, too arrogant.
With such a small number of people, to fight against hundreds of thousands of displaced people, it is not looking for death Moreover, in the past two days, rumors have been rampant in Jiangning City that Kong Sheng will be punished by the imperial court for rebelling against the people.
This made the officials and people of Jiangning have a strong premonition that Kong Sheng, the tough and domineering king of Jiangning, has come to an end in Jiangnan's good days.
Although in the community, Kong Sheng's reputation is excellent.
After all, Kong Sheng's new land policy is a great blessing for the people.
In the near future, it is a large number of landless peasants who have benefited.
And hundreds of thousands of hermits who were originally dependent on the wealthy families for their survival and did not even have a household registration have been "liberated".
Yang Qi turned his head to look at Liu Pingshan and sighed lightly: "Sure enough, he is young and vigorous, too conceited."
Only took more than 1,000 people to Deqing to quell the chaos, which is really incomprehensible. ” Liu Pingshan raised his eyebrows: "Lord Jun, do you want to let this official lead the Jiangnan Army as the backup of the county king?"
Yang Qi shook his head: "The old man was originally kind to persuade him, and yesterday he suggested that General Gu Chaogu lead 10,000 Jiangnan troops as backup, but he resolutely rejected the old man's kindness.
Since the king of the county is so stubborn and self-serving, why should we wait for this extra move" Yang Qi intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Gu Chao, the deputy general standing behind him.
Gu Chao's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom.
He had suffered a big loss at the hands of Kong Sheng, and the cane reprimanded him for more than half a month on the sickbed, which greatly reduced his prestige in the Jiangnan Army.
As the general second only to Yang Qi in the Jiangnan Army, Gu Chao's arrogance in his heart is naturally full.
For Kong Sheng, he has always harbored a little contempt and dissatisfaction.
Now it's even more palpable.
Gu Chao bowed and said, "Lord Envoy, since King Kong insists on disobeying, we can only wait patiently for the good news of the successful rebellion of the King of Kong."
This Jiangnan rebellion originated from the king of the county, if it can be quelled in the hands of the king of the county, it is naturally the best, if the king can not lead the army to go out again, it is not too late to settle the throne in one fell swoop. ” A helpless wry smile tugged at the corner of Yang Qi's mouth.
In fact, as Kong Sheng's father-in-law, his daughter has a marriage contract with Kong Sheng, and she is about to get married, and Yang Qi is the one who doesn't want Kong Sheng to have an accident.
However, Kong Sheng's drastic move in Jiangnan touched the overall interests of the entire Jiangnan elite class and became the target of public criticism, and Yang Qi wanted to help but was also insufficient.
Liu Pingshan's heart sank.
In Liu Pingshan's opinion, if Yang Qi and Kong Sheng joined forces to fight against Song Ning, Song Ning was really nothing.
Even if Song Ning had the support of wealthy families such as Wuxing, the Shen family, and the Yixing Zhou family, it would be difficult to resist the joint suppression of Kong Sheng, the king of Jiangning County, and Yang Qi, the Jiangnan feudal town.
However, Yang Qi is too slippery, officialdom has been up and down for decades, he puts the political interests of the Yang family in the first place, and in the game between Kong Sheng and Song Ning and the Jiangnan giants, he can not help each other, which is already a great concession.
After all, the interests of the Yang family were also lost in Kong Sheng's new policy.
Kong Sheng rode on the white horse chasing the wind, holding his dazzling Fang Tian painting halberd, majestic, marching at the forefront of the entire team.
And beside him, a carriage was also traveling together.
On this expedition, Kong Sheng only brought Li Biao and Li Hu, and as for Wuxian Wujie and Luo Yong of Shenlongwei, they sat in the county palace.
After all, Kong Sheng personally went on the expedition, and there must be someone in the palace to watch the house.
And in today's Jiangning City, it is actually not peaceful.
The undercurrent is surging and the killing machine is everywhere, this is the foundation of Kong Sheng, and it is impossible for him to completely open the empty door.
Behind Kong Sheng was Li Biao and Li Hu with solemn faces.
After Li Biao and Li Hu, he was a soldier of the 500 Jiangning Iron Cavalry Battalion.
The unified Mingguang armor, holding a bright silver spear, and a well-groomed military appearance, has become the symbol of the Iron Cavalry Battalion.
For this henchman, Kong Sheng is trained and cultivated as a special soldier, and the supply of various materials and even equipment supplies are beyond the reach of ordinary armies.

Therefore, although there were only 500 people, each of them was one of ten, and they really charged into battle, and with Kong Sheng's unique secret weapon, firearms and bows and arrows, this cavalry team was enough to exert the overall combat effectiveness and lethality of no less than 5,000 cavalry troops.
This was a key factor in Kong Sheng's courage to confront Yuan Ying's rebellion.
With the escort of these five hundred iron cavalry, Kong Sheng could retreat calmly and unstoppable.
If the five hundred iron cavalry is counted and Kong Sheng's personal invincible combat strength, I am afraid that there is no army in the whole world that can resist the cavalry that Kong Sheng personally went into battle.
The Jiangning Iron Cavalry Battalion was followed by a thousand elite cavalry selected by Kong Sheng from the Jiangnan Army, commanded by Captain Meng.
This thousand Jiangnan cavalry, for Kong Sheng, is actually more like ornaments and props.
If the five hundred iron cavalry could not succeed, the thousand Jiangnan cavalry would actually be of no avail.
In the saying of the proverb, it is the same New Year with and without him.
No one could understand what Kong Sheng thought, and he led more than 1,000 people to come out to quell the rebellion.
More than 1,000 officers and troops seem to be a lot, but they are facing a team of more than 100,000 displaced people, even if the other party has no combat effectiveness and combat experience at all, but more than 100,000 people can drown more than 1,000 people with a mouthful of spit.
Ants are not to be feared, but the number of ants can also exert amazing strength.
There were also more than 100 infantry soldiers in the army who were obviously dressed in armor and distinguished from the Iron Cavalry Battalion and the Jiangnan Army, escorting a mysterious cart covered with thick cloth, and moving a little slowly.
But the Jiangnan army didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was just the grain and grass carried by the army.
Kong Sheng slowed down the horse's hooves, turned his head to look at the galloping carriage beside him, and smiled softly: "Sir can still hold up such a rapid march, so that Sir is tired" A clear, slightly tired voice came from the carriage: "King Jun, the students can still hold on."
However, the king of the county took the students there, I'm afraid it wasn't for the sake of fighting."
This person is Yang Tong.
Yang Tong, as a civil official of the county palace, presided over the Jiangning University Hall founded by Kong Sheng for a long time, this Confucian scholar from a poor family who has repeatedly tried and failed, has been silent for so many years, and now he is famous in Jiangnan because of Kong Sheng's civilian education program.
The Jiangning University Hall, which was originally unattended, is now overcrowded.
Free admission, strict management, survival of the fittest, selection of both ability and political integrity of the poor young people by Yang Tong and other celebrities carefully cultivated and taught, over time, there will be a large number of poor talents from the south of the Yangtze River to stand out.
This made Yang Tong see the hope of the world's poor family.
This is also the key factor why Yang Tong is willing to stay under Kong Sheng's sect.
According to Yang Tong and Kong Sheng's plan, by the end of this year, the civilian academy specially for the children of the poor will be expanded to all major cities in the south of the Yangtze River, and even to every county seat.
For Yang Tong, he has a lot to do at the moment, in addition to teaching and educating people, he also has to undertake the daily management of Jiangning University Hall and the preparation for the construction of branch campuses in various places, and the workload can be imagined.
For Kong Sheng, Yang Tong has respect.
In Yang Tong's view, Kong Sheng is making a great merit that no one has dared to do throughout the ages, giving the children of the poor families in the world a path to advancement, and giving the low-level people in the world a chance to be educated, which is definitely no less virtuous and good than the great virtue and great goodness of Sage Kong.
No one knows better than Yang Tong that all the expenses of Jiangning University Hall are borne by Kong Sheng, the king of the county, and if the opportunity to open a branch is promoted, Kong Sheng's annual investment in civilian education will exceed 100,000 yuan.
This is a staggering figure, equivalent to the net income of a wealthy family in Jiangnan for several years.
Kong Sheng didn't care about fame and fortune, and paid a lot of money, just to open an upward channel for the children of the poor family.
And what Kong Sheng is doing to return the land to the people is also a major event for the benefit of the country and the people.
To do these two things, for Kong Sheng, there is only pay, only risk, and no gain, whether it is fame or profit.
Kong Sheng was even reluctant to disclose that the owner behind the Jiangning University Hall was the Junwang Mansion.
This is what Yang Tong admires and touches the most. oshow7 t1706231537:
