Chapter 65 Destroy the Shao family and break the sky! (for collection)
The reason why Shao Qingcai was able to become the left prime minister in the Southern Song Dynasty was not because he was so talented.
Rather, his Shao family is a noble family that has lasted for hundreds of years in Huizhou. In ancient times, the emperors of all dynasties had to rely on the influence of the major noble families to consolidate their imperial power.
Therefore, in many places, influential scholars of the noble family are always more likely to become officials and promoted than those who are more talented than them.
Shao Qingcai was in such a situation. He didn't have much talent, but he was good at exploiting and playing tricks.
From his secret collusion with the Jin people, he knew that he was a villain who would do anything to achieve his own goals, but because of their Shao family, there had been some clansmen who had become officials since the Tang Dynasty.
As a result, the Shao family gradually had a huge influence in various parts of the south. The Southern Song Dynasty appointed a person with great family influence like him to take advantage of the other party's influence.
But Xiao Qi doesn't care about these things, he is not the emperor, even if he is the emperor himself with the cheating weapon of the sign-in system, he wouldn't care what a gentry would do to him.
The reason why so many people were brought out this time was also to prevent those petty gentry who were attached to the Shao family, as well as those officials who fawned on the Shao family to stand up for the Shao family.
So when he sent the previous 500 people to arrest people first, he gave the order that no matter who stops and saves people, they will be killed without mercy.
Xiao Qi understands that if you don't kill such a noble family that even the emperor fears, even if you leave them a breath, there will be endless troubles in the future.
Sure enough, when he took the 2000 soldiers behind him and the bones of nearly [-] Changsheng battalion soldiers who died in battle, and rushed to Huizhou [-] miles away, he discovered that a Song army was fighting with the more than [-] soldiers. The soldiers of the Changsheng Battalion confronted each other.
Soon after, the scouts came to report that Shao Hongyuan, who had been demoted as Wuyi doctor, was bringing five thousand troops and horses to force the Changsheng camp to hand over all the Shao family.
It turned out that Shao Hongyuan also belonged to a branch of the Shao family, and although he and Shao Qingcai had been separated for five times, they were still the same ancestor!
Xiao Qi thought to himself that no wonder something like that happened during the Longxing Northern Expedition. The Shao family couldn't help but kill them all!
With 500 cavalry troops, Xiao Qi went straight to the Song army over there. The infantry immediately left 2000 people guarding the carts, and [-] people chased after the horse army.
Xiao Qi and the others rushed to the opposing sides and shouted, "Where is Shao Hongyuan!"
I saw a burly general Song who was nearly fifty years old leading a team of cavalry rushing over, and they were still a hundred meters away from Xiao Qi and the others.
The man shouted violently: "Where did you come from, such a vulgar martial artist, dare to call a certain second-rank envoy by his name!"
After Xiao Qi confirmed that this person was Shao Hongyuan, he urged the horse to rush over:
"Old thief! Xiao once swore that he would kill you when he saw you, yet the old thief dared to send his own head to Xiao!"
Shao Hongyuan had long known that the soldiers of the Changsheng Battalion were not afraid of death. This time he got a message from Shao Qingcai and came to save the Shao family.
Relying on his status as a recruiter from the second rank, although he has now been demoted to become a doctor of martial arts, but because of Shao Qing, he has tried his best to protect him. Although he has been demoted, he still leads the original army.
He had also heard rumors that Xiao Qi was going to kill him, but he believed that he was an official of the imperial court, and with the backing of his relative Shao Qingcai, the left prime minister in the court, he really felt that Xiao Qi dared not do anything to him.
Before Shao Hongyuan called out to the soldiers around him to protect him, Xiao Qi had already rushed in front of him.
Just a face to face, Shao Hongyuan's head has already flown high!
Xiao Qi pointed at the five thousand Song soldiers brought by Shao Hongyuan with the Overlord Spear in his hand: "Put down the weapons and kneel down and don't kill! After one breath, those who stand will be killed without mercy!"
With a whimper, the five thousand soldiers threw away their weapons one after another, and all knelt down on the ground.
They knew the evil reputation of Xiao Qi, the "Devil God" of Changsheng Camp. Now that he had even killed his own officers and former second-grade recruiters, how could they not dare to kill these five thousand soldiers!
Xiao Qi just ordered people to put away the weapons of these people, instead of binding them, he gathered them together.
At this time, the [-] soldiers escorting the nearly [-] coffins also arrived.
Xiao Qi rode on a horse in front of the five thousand Song soldiers, loudly explaining the reason why he came here to kill the Shao family.
Pointing to the nearly two thousand coffins pulled on more than a thousand carts: "Did you see it? These are the real heroes of the Song Dynasty!
They shouldn't have died, but they were killed by Shao Qingcai's thief colluding with the golden man!
If you are a veteran of the Longxing Northern Expedition, you should know how Shao Hongyuan let General Li Xianzhong fight alone.
But he not only didn't help, but also disturbed the morale of the army, causing the Song army to collapse without a fight!
The villains of the Shao family are all betraying their country and seeking glory. Do you think they should be killed! "
Those veterans who participated in the Longxing Northern Expedition accounted for more than half. They were very clear about what happened back then, and they all bowed their heads in silence.
At this moment, a person came out suddenly, knelt down to Xiao Qi and said:
"General, villain Li San'er, my eldest brother was killed by Jin soldiers during the Northern Expedition in Longxing. I beg the general to allow Li San'er to join the Changsheng camp to kill the Jin soldiers. The villain swears to the sky that he will never back down when facing the Jin soldiers." step!"
Li San'er's words resonated with the 5000 people, and they all knelt down and begged Xiao Qi to accept them.
None of these people are stupid. Although General Xiao Qi of the Changsheng Battalion has a fierce reputation as a "devil god", his good reputation of being compassionate to his soldiers has long been spread throughout the frontier army of the Song Dynasty.
There are nearly [-] coffins in front of them. They never dared to think that when they died, the Shangguan would put them in the coffins. It was kind and righteous to dig a hole and bury them so that they would not expose their corpses to the wilderness.
This general Xiao Qi not only prepared coffins for every soldier who died in battle, in order to avenge these unjustly killed subordinates, he did not hesitate to kill all the first-rank and left-handed ministers in the court.
Although they were worried that if they joined the Changsheng Camp, if the court said Xiao Qi was rebelling, they would be regarded as rebellious, but if they can follow Xiao Qi as a general who can fight like this and treat his subordinates so well, they will die if they die.
Besides, it doesn't matter if they follow other generals or die, and those generals are not even safe for themselves, let alone their soldiers.
Xiao Qi saw that the five thousand soldiers finally knelt down and asked to join the Changsheng Battalion. After thinking for a moment, he waved them up and agreed to their request.
Xiao Qi also understood in his heart that since these people were brought by Shao Hongyuan, there must be many of his confidants among these people, at least many of those generals were his confidantes.
He also had no way to kill these people. These were not captured soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin. These people were from the Southern Song Dynasty. If he killed them casually, he would definitely be demonized by those who were interested.
But these are also difficult to see Xiao Qi who has watched countless Gongdou dramas and historical dramas in his previous life.
He directly excused himself by saying that these sergeants were tired from the journey, and asked 5000 of them to take tools and dig the ancestral grave of Lao Shao's family.
Even if there are Shao Hongyuan's confidantes, if they plan the old Shao family's ancestral grave, then let them behead the Shao family.
That's a confidant!
There is no need to do anything else, and these people will never show any good looks to the surname Shao.
When Xiao Qi asked these 5000 people to dig the large tomb of the Shao family that had lasted for hundreds of years, he did not forget his propaganda work.
The same eloquent soldiers who were sent out in Yangzhou City before were given a lot of money each and continued to go to teahouses and restaurants to promote the Shao family's collaboration with the enemy and treason.
This time there were more crimes committed by Shao Hongyuan's Longxing Northern Expedition, and gradually the voice of grievances for the Shao family became quieter, and people began to come to pay respects to those fallen soldiers with paper money.
Nearly [-] thin coffins were in front of us, and the common people passed on the news to ten, ten to hundreds, and gradually people from nearby counties also came to worship.
To say that those big gentry clans have been bullying and provoking for so many years, not one or two people. First, some people reported to the soldiers that they were still hiding from the Shao family, and then there was still the invisible property of the Shao family.
In the end, more than 1 Shao family members were arrested to pay homage to the heroic spirits!
Countless belongings were found, even the monuments of meritorious deeds of various Shao family celebrities in the past were found and destroyed, although Xiao Qi knew which things were cultural relics after hundreds of years.
But in order to completely erase the Shao family from Huizhou, go to hell!
If you want cultural relics, I will find a place for you to bury more stone carvings, altars and jars. After hundreds of years, you can dig and play!
Ask for all kinds of tickets!
