Chapter 115: Xiang Gong forces to quell the chaos
The word "killing" made the fifth Qi suddenly feel a chill in the back of his neck, and he had been in contact with Qin Jin for half a year, he only thought that this low-key "powerful minister" had lost his heart and was soft-hearted, but the murderous aura that burst out of his eyes at this moment was really staggering.
"Obey the doctor's orders!"
In the Fifth Qi's view, killing is the simplest and most effective way, once the people participate in the rebellion, their hearts will be in chaos, even if the rebellion is suppressed, the heart that was once chaotic is like a seed planted, maybe in a certain year, a certain month, and a certain day, under the right opportunity, it will take root and sprout, and even grow into a towering tree. Just as a mutinous soldier must no longer remain in the army, the principle is the same. Now with Qin Jin's statement, it is naturally much more convenient to act.
Qin Jin's status has long been different from what it used to be, and it is impossible for everything to be on the front line and deal with problems by himself as before. On the one hand, it is for his personal safety considerations, on the other hand, he must also adapt to the transformation of identity, from the executor who solves specific problems to the decision-maker, the only thing that can be done is to use people properly, put the right people in the right place, and solve the corresponding problems.
If you do everything yourself, you may end up with nothing but exhausting him and vomiting blood.
Therefore, Qin Jin authorized the Fifth Qi to personally solve the unrest of the people of Katori Temple, but did not mention the eldest son who was trapped outside the city by the rebellious people.
Qin Jin's eldest son is not yet a year old, and when Chang'an fell, he experienced turmoil and displacement, which was really a last resort, but now that the Shenwu Army has already cleared the chaos in Guanzhong, who would have thought that such a thing would happen at home?
"Madame and Princess?"
The fifth Qi asked about the period Ai Ai, Qin Jin sighed.
"If the rebels know their identities, this catastrophe will definitely be inevitable, and the Shenwu Army will not set a precedent for talking to the rebels! If they don't know their identities, those people may not deliberately embarrass them, as for the outcome, it can only depend on their creation!"
Every word of these words, Qin Jin said with great difficulty. However, civil unrest is always the first domino to destroy the Empire State Building, and if not handled properly, the tuba situation can be wiped out in the blink of an eye.
In the final analysis, Qin Jin really underestimated the enemy he was about to face, and it was not a single person who offended Qingzhang Land, but the entire interest group that owned the land. At present, these groups are still in a situation of scattered sand, and if they are dealt with cautiously and break through each of them, there will be no danger.
In just a short period of time, the Qin and Jin dynasties comprehensively considered the policy of clearing the land in Guanzhong, which must not be shaken, if the land could not be fully controlled by the imperial court, the tax revenue and military resources could not be fundamentally solved.
The Qin and Jin dynasties are a thousand years ahead of the memory of the people, from the general direction of history, all the Chinese dynasties, but all the periods when the conscription system was used, were the heyday of the great unified dynasty, and the conscription system was just the opposite. For example, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the middle and late Tang Dynasty, and the two Song Dynasty, where the conscription system was the most prevalent.
The reason for this is that most of the recruits are rabble people who have no permanent property, and they are simply lured together by money and money, so most of the recruits are homeless and unemployed, and their status is low; let me ask what is the difference between such an army and the bandits and bandits who gather in the mountains and forests? Moreover, after the recruitment of troops was rampant, the Tang Dynasty, whose bureaucratic system was far less mature than that of the Song and Ming dynasties, naturally became a hotbed for the division of feudal towns.
Therefore, the Qin and Jin dynasties wanted to clear the land, not only to fight against those landlords who were crazy to annex, but also to use the liberated land and population to consolidate the foundation of conscription, and only in this way could the many problems faced by the Tang Dynasty be solved for a longer time.
Qin Jin's thoughts, Fifth Qi did not know, but he knew that if the landlord was hit, the imperial court's taxes would rise sharply, and the situation of the government treasury would be improved.
When we arrived at Anhuamen, the sun was already setting in the west, and the red round seemed to be stained with blood. Fifth Qi smashed his dry lips, he hadn't drunk water for several hours due to his high mental tension. In Qin Jin's instructions, although there was no mention of Mrs. Fansu and the eldest prince at all, he, as the prime minister directly responsible for quelling the chaos, had to plan cautiously.
If it caused the tragic death of Qin Jin's eldest son because of him, although he was the eldest son, he was also a son after all, and once he was held grudge, the future would become bumpy and bleak after that.
"Report! The chaotic people entangled and coerced the people in the nearby townships and robbed the grain in the granary!"
"Probe, report!"
Fifth Qi's brows were deeply furrowed, and based on this alone, it could be judged that the commanders of these rebels had a certain ability, otherwise they would not have been like this. Jingzhao Mansion has two counties, Chang'an and Wannian, and the number of people living outside the city does not need to be small in the city.
As soon as he thought of this, Fifth Qi's back was soaked in cold sweat. It is clear that Qin Jin underestimated the abilities of the rebels, and there was even more unfathomable support behind them.
"Mobilize troops, suppress!"
Because of Qin Jin's statement, Fifth Qi did not ask for instructions again, but directly used the power of the prime minister to mobilize troops, intending to suppress the menacing momentum of the chaotic people with absolute violence.
It's just that the prime minister can't move the Shenwu army, but the new army that is additionally assigned to Jin Wuwei can be mobilized. Therefore, when the Fifth Qi was in a hurry, it was Jin Wuwei's men and horses who were mobilized.
In fact, the Fifth Qi had already ordered Jin Wuwei to wait for the rest of the day long before he went to see Qin Jin, and as soon as he found that the momentum was not good, he would immediately rush out of the city and strike a storm on the rebellious people.
If it is said that the rebels coerced Qin Jin's wife and eldest son to make the Fifth Qi throw a rat trap, then the rebels robbed a granary set up in the township, which already made him sit on pins and needles. If he just sits back and watches the chaos snowball, it may eventually make the situation out of control, and he will miss the best chance to quell the chaos.
The opportunity must not be lost and never come again, it is really driven by this kind of thought, the fifth Qi made a decision in a hurry, Jin Wuwei's men and horses went out of the city from the three city gates, but whenever they encountered the rebels, they would be killed regardless of whether they were in trouble.
Due to the dispersion of the rebels, they were not the opponents of Jin Wuwei, especially in the many townships outside the Anhua Gate, the rebels were quickly driven out, although the grain reserves suffered a certain degree of loss, but after all, the grain was difficult to transport in a hurry, and the rebels also came and went in a hurry, and finally came and fled empty-handed.
The Jin Wuwei of Chang'an City almost went out of the nest, but all the captured rebels, regardless of whether they were indiscriminate, were beheaded on the spot, and they were never given a chance to fight back.
If Fifth Qi still cared about Qin Jin's wife and eldest son at the beginning, at this time, all he cared about was calming the chaos and restoring the situation.
Weighing the two, the fifth Qi can't accept letting the rebels sit big, and the two powers can only take the lesser of them. Once he made a decision, he was no longer afraid of the head and tail, and the Fifth Qi burst out with unprecedented decision-making power and command ability.
Until the early morning of the next day, the rebels had realized that Jin Wuwei would kill them again, so they gathered their strength and planned to carry out a large-scale counterattack.
Fifth Qi never thought that he would one day command the army to suppress the rebellion, he has always been good at economics, and he is definitely a layman even if he is not ignorant of military affairs, but when he is forced to the head, he can only grit his teeth and harden it.
With Fifth Qi's cognition, Qin Jin must have been observing his words and deeds behind, and if he thought that Jin Wuwei was not enough to deal with the rebels, he would definitely send an elite Shenwu army. Since the Shenwu Army has not been dispatched until now, that is, after a comprehensive assessment, Qin Jin's ability alone is enough to kill the rebels, and since this is the case, he will also let it go.
The backbone of the rebellious army may have been because of the believers who burned incense at Katoriji Temple, and most of the main forces gathered near Katoriji Temple, so Jin Wuwei divided into two ways to make a flanking attack on Katoriji Temple and launched the first strong attack on Katoriji Temple.
In fact, the Fifth Qi was indeed overly nervous, although Jin Wuwei was all a new army, but the training method and establishment were the same as those of the Shenwu Army, and they only acted according to the daily training, and the rebellious troops had already been defeated and dispersed.
Among them, firearms played a crucial role, and the thunderbolt cannons eliminated by the Shenwu Army were generally equipped to Jinwuwei, and just with the firearms used by these Shenwu Army at the beginning, the rebels were already difficult to parry.
After several medium-sized encounters, Fifth Qi suddenly realized that he had thought too seriously about the problem, and that the rabble and the well-trained Jin Wuwei who had gathered together in a hurry were not opponents of the same rank at all, and as long as Jin Wuwei passed, the rebels would inevitably mourn.
After noon, Fifth Qi had regained his composure and composure, and became cautious and optimistic about the development of the situation.
After this series of psychological changes, the Fifth Qi was already respectful to Qin Jin from the bottom of his heart, although the momentum of the chaotic soldiers was great, but after all, it was only a weak brigade that had no power to resist in front of the powerful Shenwu Army.
The Kin Wuwei Festival was advancing, and soon it was less than ten miles away from the Katoriji Temple, and what the rabble was best at was fighting with the wind, and after several defeats, more and more people fled among the rebels, and seeing that this battlefield farce was about to end in failure.
But the accident still happened, there was a warehouse in Changxing Township, near the Katori Temple, where he hoarded grain and beat 300,000 stones, which was burned by the rebels in retaliation, and the raging fire rose to the sky.
This is like playing chess, one step slower, you can only stare dryly, and when he leads Jin Wuwei to advance to the warehouse, there is already a sea of fire in front of him, even if he is saved, only ruins and ashes will remain, and 300,000 stone grain will be reduced to nothing in an hour.
