"draft" In a few days, the navy will return.
How could Xu Guanzhong let the navy return empty-handed?
The city of Hangzhou was successively captured by Fang La's army and the Song army.
The people of Hangzhou suffered a series of military disasters.
The wealthy people in the city were either plundered during the military disasters, or they fled with their families early.
Nowadays, most of the people in Hangzhou are ordinary people.
They don't have much money to begin with, and Xu Guanzhong doesn't want to ruin the reputation of the marshal for a little money.
Xu Guanzhong was still thinking about whether to send someone to pretend to be a horse thief and go to Xiuzhou to rob.
Only after reading the secret letter sent by Marshal Shi Jin to make an agreement with Fang Baihua, Xu Guanzhong realized that he had missed an important wealthy family.
The Buddhist family is much richer than the wealthy clans, with a lot of fertile land and a lot of money.
Moreover, compared to those wealthy clans, the Buddhist family has the copper and iron that Liangshan Army urgently needs.
Not to mention other things, a single bronze statue weighs hundreds or even thousands of kilograms.
Once melted, tens of thousands of copper coins can be minted.
Of course, the Liangshan Army is not short of money.
If a few can be snatched back, at least dozens more bronze cannons can be minted.
What good supplies, it’s a waste to leave them to those bald donkeys who only know how to eat and wait to die.
Since we were going to rob the temple, we naturally started with the largest one.
The largest temple in Hangzhou is undoubtedly Lingyin Temple.
Lingyin Temple, also known as Yunlin Temple, is located at the foot of the West Lake Mountain, with the North Peak in the back and Feilai Peak in the face.
It was built in the first year of Xianhe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
During the reign of King Qian Hong of Wuyue, he believed in Buddhism all his life and rebuilt and expanded more than 1,300 temples and buildings in Lingyin Temple.
In the eighth year of Tiansheng's reign, Song Renzong gave more than 13,000 acres of fertile land in Hangzhou and Xiuzhou to Lingyin Temple as temple property.
At this point, Lingyin Temple was the largest and richest landowner in Hangzhou.
Xu Guanzhong led Zhou Tong and five hundred soldiers to the Lingyin Temple in a fierce manner.
Xu Guanzhong raised his head and looked at the majestic temple in front of him, shook his head and said: "What a good house, it can house many poor people."
When he went back, he asked Li Zhong to place the poor people in the city here.
Anyway, as the bald donkey said before , Buddhists are compassionate and believe they will definitely accept those poor people.”
I saw so many people suddenly arriving in front of the temple, and except for the one at the head who was dressed as an ordinary scholar, the others were all holding weapons and had fierce looks on their faces.
The young monk who was cleaning the door of the temple saw it and was so frightened that he ran into the temple to report it to the abbot.
Soon the abbot of Lingyin Temple, Zen Master Shi Miao, heard this and rushed out with hundreds of monks and guests.
Seeing Xu Guanzhong and the others, Zen Master Shi Miao stepped forward bravely, clasped his hands and said, "Dear donors, I don't know if there is anything important that comes to our temple, so I want to let the poor monks know, so as not to neglect a few of them."
The Zen Master Shi Miao in front of him was wearing a loose monk's robe.
He was of medium height and slightly fat.
He had a pleasant face and a look of charity.
At first glance, you will feel that he is a very kind person.
Xu Guanzhong also put his hands together and saluted, and said: "Master, we are all poor and have no money.
So today we are here to rob Master.
You are busy with your business and don't worry about us.
We can just do it ourselves."
Zen Master Shi Miao's eyes were stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't help but stammered: "Robbery, you want to rob our temple."
Xu Guanzhong nodded and said: "Yes, God is kind to us.
I believe that the master will not watch us starve to death.
We will empty out your Lingyin Temple.
I believe you will not mind.
The master is an eminent monk, I believe There must be some merciful people who would sacrifice themselves to feed the eagles.

Instead of letting us starve to death, why don’t you, Master, die?
As the saying goes, you are not as good as hell.
Master, you don’t need to thank us for giving you the opportunity to become a Buddha."
Before Zen Master Shi Miao could react, Xu Guanzhong shouted: "What are you waiting for?
Do you still have to wait for the master to deliver the things to you?
You haven't seen that the master is dozens of years old.
How can he resist moving those heavy objects?"
" Upon hearing Xu Guanzhong's order, Zhou Tong hurriedly replied: "Do it."
Regardless of Zen Master Shi Miao's obstruction, Zhou Tong led his people into Lingyin Temple.
There were monks who wanted to stop him, but Li Zhong would not be polite.
Just use the tail of the iron gun to break their foreheads.
"Whoever dares to obstruct you, you're welcome, just hit me."
The five hundred men brought by Zhou Tong had already rushed into the temple and took care of the nearly 700 monks in the entire temple.
Lingyin Temple mainly has the Tianwang Hall, the Main Hall, the Pharmacist Hall, the Dharma Hall, and the Huayan Hall as the central axis, with buildings such as the Five Hundred Arhat Hall, Jigong Hall, Huayan Pavilion, Dabei Tower, and Abbot Tower attached to both sides.
The group walked into the Heavenly King's Hall and looked at the seven or eight-meter-high Tathagata Buddha statue made of sandalwood carvings in the main hall.
Xu Guanzhong said with a smile on his face: "What a good wood.
It's a pity to burn it.
Who will move this Tathagata Buddha statue down?
There are many believers in Jiangnan, and I believe they are willing to pay a high price to buy this Buddha statue."
"No, you can't touch this Buddha statue.
This is very disrespectful to the Buddha, and you will be punished by God in the future."
Xu Guanzhong heard this and said disdainfully: "Don't be afraid, we are all believers of Mingzun.
Mingzun will protect us and protect us from the darkness."
Xu Guanzhong and Zhou Tong walked into Lingyin Temple talking and laughing.
Two hundred people were left to look after these fat monks, while the others searched everywhere and took whatever valuables they saw.
First of all, of course, the copper coin from the Tianwang Palace was taken down by six Liangshan Army soldiers and prepared to be transported back to be melted.
There are also bronze bells weighing more than 100 kilograms, etc., all of which are not spared.
Xu Guanzhong was like a Japs entering the village, taking whatever valuables they caught and never letting go of a penny.
But this harvest obviously could not satisfy his appetite.
Xu Guanzhong shouted dissatisfied: "Is it wrong?
The majestic Lingyin Temple has tens of thousands of acres of fields and monthly donations of tens of thousands of guan.
How can it be possible for just this little money?
Mom is kidding me” Zhou Tong was also quite discouraged: "There are only a few copper coins, which is really disappointing."
Xu Guanzhong said angrily: "With this little gain, how can I be embarrassed to go back?
Go and catch the host and the like.
I want to interrogate them properly."
Zen Master Shi Miao shouted loudly: "How is this possible?"
The ill-gotten gains that those traitors had amassed without conscience were swept away by them.
Many monks screamed and screamed that they were wronged, but it was of no use.
It's not the first day Xu Guanzhong and the others have done this.
They know everything they are doing.
It is impossible to muddle through.
The most interesting thing is the abbot of Lingyin Temple.
He resisted very fiercely and kept saying that he had accepted the Seven Precepts and was abhorrent.
His two sleeves Qingfeng definitely did not enrich his own pockets.

However, after a careful search, the soldiers of the Liangshan Army found five thousand taels of gold and a box of rolling beads as big as a dragon's eye on the bluestone slab under the wardrobe in the room where the "two sleeves Qingfeng" presided over.
Good guy, this cool host is richer than any wealthy family in Jiaxing.
The host of "Two Sleeves Breeze" saw that his many years of savings had been dug out by thieves, and his face turned ashen.
Liangshan's army was overjoyed and moved all the gold, silver and grain collected from Lingyin Temple to the oxcart.
Afraid that people wouldn't know, I ran back beating gongs and drums all the way.
When the people of Hangzhou City saw the wealth that the bandits had looted from Lingyin Temple, their eyes suddenly turned red.
Some people are jealous, but many are angry.
Under the fierce attack of the imperial army, Fang Lajun lost his camera in Hangzhou and other places, and retreated to Yuling Pass.
With this dangerous pass, and Fang Tianding personally fighting on the front line as the prince, he fought with the Song army at the pass.
After a fierce battle, the Song army was successfully blocked outside the pass.
Although the Song army, under the leadership of General Wang Zhen, used various methods to attack Yuling Pass, they were all resolved by Fang Tianding and Shi Bao.
On the other hand, the Imperial West Army that attacked Muzhou encountered a strong blockage from Shi Bao.
No one in the imperial army on the west route was Shi Bao's opponent.
After Shi Bao killed three Song generals in a row, he led his troops to attack the central army of the west route army.
General Liu Zhen was almost captured alive.
Under Shi Bao's bravery, Muzhou remained unmoved.
The Song Army and Fang La Army were in a stalemate at the Muzhou and Yulingguan lines.
At Yulingguan Archery Tower, Fang Tianding put on armor and patrolled the city in person.
Lu Shinang happily ran to the top of the city and shouted: "Prince, what a happy event!"
Fang Tianding heard and asked: "It's General Lu, what happy event makes you so happy?"
Lu Shinang raised a battle report and shouted: "At the end of today, we will get a report from spies.
Two days ago, a group of people captured Hangzhou City.
Today, the gang sent a message, claiming that they are the Liangshan Army of Shandong."
"Why was the city of Hangzhou captured?
It was General Lu who was responsible for the Liangshan Army in Shandong.
This is serious."
Fang Tianding was shocked in his heart.
The city of Hangzhou was once captured by Fang La's army.
Of course he knew how strong the city was.
Unexpectedly, the Liangshan Army of Shandong Province could capture Hangzhou City in such a short period of time.
Fang Tianding was naturally in disbelief.
Lu Shinang said, "Yes, Prince Hangzhou City was indeed captured.
It is said that the commander-in-chief Guo Zhongxun was also defeated and committed suicide.
This matter has been confirmed by the agents I sent to Hangzhou City after repeated inquiries."
"Hahaha, God help me, once the city of Hangzhou is captured, the Song army will probably withdraw its troops soon."
Fang Tianding laughed loudly.
Lu Shinang also took the opportunity to say: "Prince, this is a good opportunity for our army to take revenge.
I have a plan that will help the prince defeat the Song army and retake Shezhou and even conquer Xuanzhou."
When Fang Tianding heard this, he immediately beamed with joy and hurriedly asked: "General Lu, if you have any clever ideas, please tell me quickly."
"The prince can send an envoy to Hangzhou, saying that in order to thank them for their assistance, we are willing to help them capture Xiuzhou.
When the Song army gathers in Xiuzhou, the prince will personally lead the army to attack Shezhou.
In this way, the Song army begins and ends.
It’s difficult to take care of, and it’s convenient for our army to take action.”
Fang Tianding hesitated and said: "Although it is a clever plan.
They conquered the north of Hangzhou, and now even Xiuzhou must be given to them.

If Shi Jin's troops stay in the south of the Yangtze River, will it be a way to reject tigers through the front door and let in wolves through the back door?"
"Prince, that Shi Jin's base is in Shandong, and those who came to the south of the Yangtze River are only a small number, just Xiaoji.
The Song army is the big enemy.
After the Song army is defeated, it will not be too late for the prince to think of a plan to drive away Shi Jin's troops."
Fang Tianding nodded and said, "What General Lu said is true, so I will follow your plan."
Lu Shinang said: "Without further delay, General Mo will go to Hangzhou City to form an alliance with Shi Jin's men and jointly attack Xiuzhou."
Lu Shinang in the south of the Yangtze River received information that the city of Hangzhou had been captured, and Shi Jin's mansion was far away in Shandong.
When Shi Jin was discussing matters with Zhu Wu in the study, someone suddenly reported loudly outside the room.
"Report Jiangnan Emergency Military Situation" Jiangnan emergency military situation Is the battle against Hangzhou over?
So what is the result?
Shi Jin quickly shouted: "Send it in quickly" Lu Fang, the guard at the door, immediately brought the messenger soldiers in, and Shi Jin received the battle report from the reporting soldiers.
Opening the envelope, Shi Jin took out the battle report and read it quickly.
"Marshal, is it the war in Hangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River?"
Zhu Wu asked eagerly.
"Okay" Shi Jin smiled.
"Now that the major matter has been decided, we can send someone to notify Mr.
Wu and ask him to discuss it with Tong Guan and the court.
This time I want to see whether Tong Guan or the court has any confidence to oppose our proposal. " Zhu Wu heard Shi Jin's shouting and said with joy on his face: "Marshal, it seems that our army has captured Hangzhou City."
"That's right, Zhu Wu, go and send troops and let the generals come to discuss matters."
Shi Jin shouted.
"Yes, Marshal" Zhu Wu shouted.
Soon, Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen rushed to the meeting hall of the mansion.
After Shi Jin handed the battle report of Jiangnan to many generals for circulation, he shouted: "Zhu Wu, how many soldiers and horses do our army have now?"
Zhu Wu was in charge of the Ministry of War and knew the number of soldiers and horses best.
He replied: "Back to Marshal, after more than two months of training, those new soldiers now have a certain combat effectiveness.
Counting the original veterans, there are more than 80,000 soldiers and horses on both land and water routes, but 8,000 infantry have been deployed.
Jiangnan.”
Shi Jin heard the shouting: "According to the original plan, we will continue to send two thousand soldiers and horses southward, and at the same time bring more firearms.
Mr.
Xu and the others are far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and they have to resist so many enemy troops.
It is not easy.
We have to give them more.
Support telling Mr.
Xu and the others that it doesn’t matter if the city of Hangzhou is defended or not.
The most important thing is that if the people are gone, the city will be of little use.
As long as the people are alive, the city will be there, and sooner or later it can be recaptured."
Zhu Wu hurriedly shouted: "The general understands and will definitely indicate it in the message."
Shi Jin looked at Lin Chong and the others and said: "The city of Hangzhou has been captured by our army, so it is impossible for the imperial troops to destroy Fang La's army in a short time.
At this time, we propose peace, and I believe the imperial court will not disagree.
However, Is it possible that there are villains out there who are trying to prevent us from negotiating peace with the imperial court for their own personal gain?
I decided to send troops to intimidate the court.
If the court rejects our proposal, we will fight until they agree.
In order to show the strength of our army, I intend to send out 50,000 troops.
Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen. , Wu Song, and Sun Li will go out with me, while Wang Yin and Li Ying will stay behind to guard against the enemy."
When Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song and others heard this, they immediately stood up, cupped their hands and shouted: "I have the order!"
