Chapter 129: The Rebel
Zhang Chang consciously cleaned up the fish, then skewered it and handed it to Zhao Shu, did this, and stood next to him and waited for Wei Tingsi's orders.
The scout is a veteran and very experienced, and said: "Marshal, the Shu army frequently transfers troops, blocking our way. β
Wei Tingsi's face was expressionless, and after listening to it, he pondered for a moment, took out a list from his arms and handed it to Zhang Chang, "Pull out all these people, only the people who uproot the King of Shu, and keep King Jing's." β
This list is the one given to him by Ji Dongxue, Zhao Shu listened to it and gave him a thumbs up, so that the King of Shu could suspect King Jing, the two were not of the same mind, they just cooperated occasionally, how could they be intimate.
Getting rid of his power in Zhuzhou not only weakened his strength, but also provoked his grudge against King Jing, which was a good strategy.
Zhang Chang took the list, turned around and went, he knew what to do very well, if he did this before he left Zhuzhou, the effect would definitely not be as good as it is now, now as long as he disguised himself as King Jing, King Shu will definitely hate King Jing, and he will definitely feel that King Jing is breaking off for the guards.
"Continue to inquire to see if there is also a change in the strength of the troops in these places, and strive to take Mr. Luo over." The Shu army frequently transferred troops, and it is very likely that Luohu was discovered, or the king of Shu discovered the leakage of defense.
The scout took the order, and Zhao Shu had already grilled the fish half-cooked.
Wei Tingsi continued to look down at the map in her hand, as if she didn't see Zhao Shu working hard, she suddenly felt a little unhappy, as if she had studied hard and was not praised by the teacher, bored and naΓ―ve.
Seeing Zhao Shu pouting, Wei Tingsi suddenly put down the map, moved to her side, and gently took the half-cooked fish, "I can do it." Zhao Shu was reluctant, feeling that he did everything, and he was useless.
She forgot to laugh at his definition of usefulness.
Wei Tingsi chuckled, as gentle as water, Zhao Shu felt that her heart couldn't stand it, don't change the style of painting casually! Very sultry!
"I don't have any heirs to inherit the family business, and I don't want to leave you so early."
Zhao Shu: ...... With round eyes, 10,000 divine beasts are galloping in my heart, in Ah Jiu's words, I am disgusted! It's blatant!
"Bastard!" She kicked over, but in a posture that she couldn't explain, she fell into Wei Tingsi's arms, looked at each other, and seeing that her lips were about to be imprinted, she hurriedly pretended to vomit, "I ate a little too much, I want to vomit, let go of me, let me vomit." β
Wei Tingsi is not reluctant, anyway, there will be opportunities in the future, let him go, and do not forget to flip over the grilled fish in his hand, and the fragrance of the fish will drift away with the wind after a while.
Zhao Shu didn't think that fighting a war could be so leisurely, I used to watch TV, but whenever I fought, there were floating corpses all over the field, with severed limbs and stumps everywhere, and rivers of blood, there was no good place at all, but at this moment, I was actually grilling fish leisurely, and ...... Isn't it, flirting...... Barely count.
The same is a war, the king and the prince are much more difficult, the development of Beiding Mansion has long lost the bravery and wisdom of the ancestors over the years, a few days later, the Beizhong family has been surrounded by the army of King Yong in Beiding Mansion for two days.
"Lord, Your Highness, there are still 150,000 people in the city, and the spies have come to report that the people of the Beizhong family are inciting the people to defend the city." It was Mo Qin who reported it, and his face was grim and not optimistic.
The crown prince and King Yong glanced at each other and fell silent.
The Beizhong family has many dynasties, deeply rooted in Beidingfu, Beidingfu is prosperous because of this family, it is one of the few big cities in the north, there are as many as 150,000 residents, it is a big city today, if the people of the Beizhong family can incite the people to defend the city, they want to break the city, it is really a little difficult.
All the generals were also silent, the military advisors, the staff, no one spoke, they did not have many soldiers, only 200,000, it stands to reason that it is enough to deal with the Beizhong family, but if the 150,000 residents in the city defend the city together, they cannot do anything to the people.
This has become a dead end, the North Zhong family instigated the people to follow the defense of the city, this is ready to sacrifice them, and they are also ready to die in battle, they are different, they are Dayong's generals, Dayong will continue, if the city is slaughtered for victory, Dayong will be drowned in the ocean of public opinion, and the prince will not want to ascend the throne again.
"The Beizhong family is not kind, and they don't evacuate the people." One of the generals said.
didn't answer him, in the current troubled times, the smoke of gunpowder is everywhere, where can you manage so much? That is, the big yong who wins will scruples.
After a while, Scarlet Chi, who was standing beside King Yong, said, "Hmph, expect them to evacuate?" Do not dream, but they point to the people who are still in the city, and have not escaped, so that we may be tied. β
"Yes, maybe the city was closed before and the people were not allowed to leave the city." One of the youngsters said.
King Yong and the crown prince glanced at each other, the two nodded, and the queen mother said: "Go and settle the property of the Beizhong family, make a list, and send it over." β
Mo Qin and other generals don't really understand what the prince means, but the military advisors and staff understand that Huo Baichuan's changes, one of which is to change the land and return to the stream, the Northern Zhong family has gone through many dynasties, and the wealth accumulated is immeasurable, as long as these things are revealed, they are not afraid that no one will open the city gate for them.
The family has dominated the world for too long, and the ordinary class has been oppressed for too long, and the poor family needs to find a way out, but where there is a road, even if the road is full of thorns, there will be people desperate to fight for it.
It's human nature, nothing else.
Scarlet Chi personally took people to settle the property of the Beizhong family, starting from the field, there could be no field in the city, and there was no need to enter the city to figure it out, so it took five days for dozens of people to act together, and finally cleared out the property of the Beizhong family.
The prince looked at the list handed over, and his face suddenly turned as white as rice paper, "These moths!" β
"How?" Yongwang asked.
The crown prince handed the list to King Yong, "The family needs to pay the least taxes, but it occupies the most resources, and all the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes fall on the heads of the common people, moths!" β
King Yong looked at it carefully with a list, "The field is 6,000 acres, one hectare is 100 acres, and the field is 600,000 acres. β
"Whenever there is a natural or man-made disaster, it will inevitably cause a famine, and then the imperial court will have to come to provide disaster relief, and these families will set up a porridge shed at the door, and the family will have a reputation." The prince is not angry, this time he went to Jiangnan to control the water, how much food and how much disaster silver was transported by the imperial court, he was clear, although it was only a little bit per person in the hands of the people, but there were so many people, and the court could not change more, plus it was inevitable that there would be some corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the people would get less.
These families, when the world is peaceful, they control the general trend of the country, and denounce the emperor for being mediocre and incompetent, as if worrying about the country and the people to the extreme, but have you ever thought that it is they who have encroached on the people's land resources, which has led to a little natural and man-made disasters, and the people will not be able to make ends meet.
Of course, not all families are like this, and not all emperors are wise and martial.
King Yong continued to look down, "There are more than eight hundred Zhuangzi, and there seem to be only four or five in Yongwang's Mansion, and this king is not as many as the Zhong family." β
said it jokingly, and everyone laughed, "Lord Wang, the family said that you are a nouveau riche, but I didn't expect you to have such a small family business, which is really not enough." β
"It is indeed a nouveau riche, it has only been less than 20 years since this king opened the mansion, and the Beizhong family has been around for hundreds of years, so it can't be compared." It is also necessary to admit that people have a long heritage.
"Print out thousands of copies of these farmland-produced Zhuangzi, and then send them into the city with Kong Ming lanterns, and tell the people in the city that as long as the Beizhong family surrenders, the grain from the Beizhong family's fields will be distributed to the people, and there is no need to pay rent, and it will be tax-free for three years." The prince cleared the depression in his heart and instructed Scarlet Chi to do something.
If you want to incite the people to fight against the court, hmph, you have to have that ability!
The Beizhong family will definitely not be ruthless to themselves, unless they can bring 150,000 residents to the capital, and the capital is the largest city in Dayong, with more than 500,000 people in the city, how can it be compared to Beidingfu.
However, the prince will not approve of letting the people participate in the war, and the war will already displace the people and ruin their families, and then let them take up arms, and Dayong will be on the verge of death.
Scarlet Chi's movements were very fast, and 3,000 princely orders on land, tax exemption, grain, etc., were printed.
At the same time, the people spent money to hire the surrounding people to make Kong Ming lanterns together, and each one gave money, the people were originally trembling, for fear that the army would slaughter the people, but they didn't expect that Wang Jun not only didn't rob them of a stitch and a thread, but also asked them to work and make war money, and finally it was their turn to be honest.
Kong Ming Lantern and the Prince's Order were made, and Scarlet Chi ordered someone to tie the Prince's Order to the Kong Ming Lantern, and when it was dark, he took advantage of the southeast in the summer to send 3,000 Kong Ming Lanterns into Beiding Mansion.
Zhong Yizhan and his brothers were discussing battle strategies, and suddenly a junior of the family ran in in a panic, "Grandfather, grandfather, it's not good, there are a lot of bright lights in the city." β
"What kind of body is it in a panic, speak well, and speak slowly." Zhong Yizhan is more than seventy years old, very majestic, and has high requirements for the younger generations, but the family has been inherited for too long, including himself, there are many shortcomings, not to mention the juniors.
The latter gasped for breath, tried to calm the panic in his heart, pointed to the sky and said, "Prince Yi ordered that all our land and property be given to those common people. β
"What?" Zhong Yizhan is still very keen on politics, and he instantly understood what the prince was thinking, and he was cutting him off!
Huo stood up and strode out, the house slave was already carrying a Kong Ming lantern, "Old lady, look." β
Zhong Yizhan has already seen the prince's decree bolted on the lamp, which is clear and clear, written in black and white, as long as he does not resist the imperial court, as long as the Zhong family dies, the Zhong family's property will be distributed to the people of Beiding Mansion, "Okay, very good, the old man wants to see what kind of fate he Zhao Yi will have in the future!" β
"Big brother, how are we going to deal with it?" Zhong Yizhan's clan brother asked what would happen to the prince in the future, he was not interested in knowing, even if he was attacked by the world's families in the future, he would not be able to solve the urgent need now.
Zhong Yizhan fell into deep thought, he racked his brains to think of countermeasures, but found that there was no other way than to promise more benefits to the people in the city.
The prince can be ruthless to the Zhong family, how can he be ruthless to the Zhong family?
"When will the reinforcements arrive?" The timid have begun to complain about the delay in the arrival of reinforcements.
Zhong Yizhan turned his hand and slapped him, "Bastard, don't give the old man a grief here, without reinforcements, our Zhong family is not afraid of his Zhao family!" β
"Grandfather, what do you mean, is it that reinforcements won't come?" Someone keenly grasped the key words in the words.
Zhong Yizhan was contemplative, and his eagle-like gaze swept everyone, "Swear to live and die with the family!" β
"Swear to live and die with your family!" Everyone below shouted in unison, because of the pressure of Zhong Yizhan's family master, shouting like this, in fact, many people's hearts were already active.
How could Zhong Yizhan not see the plans of these unscrupulous descendants, sighed, and ordered some people to go down, leaving only a few peers and children together to continue to discuss.
"Send for all the lamps." Before turning to enter the house, he commanded.
The house slave saluted and received the order, and he only entered the house, and as soon as he entered the house, someone asked: "Big brother, why hasn't there been any news from Lord Wei for a long time?" β
Wei Caitao had already come to Beiding Mansion.
"Uncle, my brother didn't show up, was there any accident here?" The person who spoke was the son of the North Zhong family, and the person who would be the head of the family in the future was not Zhong Yizhan's own son, but the eldest son of his second brother, and his eldest son was the governor of the three eastern provinces.
Shaking his head, "That faint monarch wants to deal with my Beiding Mansion, naturally he will not let go of your brother, I hope he can be safe, as for Wei Caitao, hum." β
He didn't trust Wei Caitao very much, after all, Wei Caitao was the son-in-law of the Xiao Zhong family, not the North Zhong family.
"It's a pity that my aunt can't contribute to the family, and it's really a misfortune for the family that the fourth cousin raised such a rebellious daughter." Several people remembered that Sun Zhong's family was still locked up in the back house by Sun Yun, and they hated it in their hearts, and they couldn't wait to break Sun Yun's body into ten thousand pieces.
"The Sun family is abolished, I just hope that the palace can start to play." Zhong Yizhan said.
"There has been no news for so long, it seems that that woman can't affect Emperor Mingde, it's really useless."
You say a word, I say a word, there is no good way to break the game, they all pin their hopes on foreign aid, Zhong Yizhan is sad in his heart, he is unwilling, the North Zhong family has passed on for several dynasties, and in the end he lost to a mud leg, he is really unwilling!
At this time, Wei Caitao was being locked up in a house, "Wei Qing, you are presumptuous, you dare to betray the master!" Don't let me out yet! He scolded angrily.
Wei Qing stood in front of the door like a statue, "Master, the son has an order, and you can't go there." β
"Rebel, rebel! Is he going to kill his father? Wei Qing, ask yourself, how do I treat you on weekdays? Thou hast blackened thy back. "Wei Caitao has been locked up here for several days, and he has to scold a few words every day before he stops.
Every time, Wei Qing replied like this, "The old man is still there, and the slave is the master who obeys the orders of the eldest prince, and the slave has not betrayed the master." β
Wei Caitao is so smart, during the period of being locked up by Wei Qing, he has already understood, when he Wei Qing took people to the Sun family to do errands, Yang Zhong's people were all dead, but Wei Qing and the others were unscathed, at that time he thought that the Sun family was sowing discord, but he didn't expect it to be a thief.
Moreover, the thief is still his son!
