Chapter 1753: Knocking
Wu Zheng fell silent, got up suddenly, and walked away: "This white face, I don't want to sing...... So you come and sing. From now on, you have the right to know the post of prefect of Xuzhou. ”
At this time, Wu Zheng had already walked to the door, and Li Hao was anxious and asked, "Where are you going, Lord Wang?" ”
Wu Zhengtou didn't look back and said: "That monkey has a saying that is right, people are taken, and someone has to do the work!" ”
The voice has not subsided, and the person has gone away.
Li Hao was stunned for a moment, and Mao Xiang, who had been hiding outside the door, saw Wu Zheng walking away, rushed in, and said to Li Hao without resentment: "Want to come...... The monkey in the prince's words is talking about me, Brother Zhongfu, where do you see me like a monkey? ”
Li Hao looked Mao Xiang up and down solemnly, and finally "poofed", whether he couldn't hold back.
……。
Jiang Quanyi was imprisoned in the West Chambers Prison of the Yayimen.
Speaking of which, this government was left over during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, Jiang Quanyi was drinking wine and eating meat in large chunks, which was like detention, and more like enjoyment.
I don't know what I know, I thought he had been hungry for three days.
That's right, if it weren't for Wu Zheng's sudden arrival, the entire Xuzhou City would be all up to him, Jiang Quanyi, who really held the power to kill hundreds of thousands of people.
And the army in the city was also brought out by Jiang Quanyi, saying that he was ordered by the prince to be locked in prison, but the prince did not say that he took Jiang Quanyi's official title.
Even if he takes it, no uninteresting subordinate will embarrass his immediate boss, right?
When Wu Zheng came in, he was really angry.
"Who gave him the meat and wine?" Wu Zheng glared and shouted.
An officer stepped out from behind a few jailers who were scared like quails, and saluted: "Back to the prince, I gave the wine and meat to the general." ”
"Report your job name."
"Shi Chengze, the scout sentry officer directly under the Ruishi battalion."
"Why did you give him food and drink?"
"The general is wronged......!"
Wu Zheng's face was like ice, and he said in a deep voice: "Okay...... That's nice! It is said that what kind of boss there is, what kind of subordinates there are...... Jiang Quanyi, the good soldier you brought out! ”
Jiang Quanyi glanced at Wu Zheng? Throw a half-palm-sized bone in his mouth at the sentry officer Shi Chengze? scolded: "Dare to talk to the prince like this...... Don't want to die? Don't get out of here! ”
"Before the prince came, the general had been dealing with official business? I haven't eaten in ...... day! Shi Chengze said to Wu Zheng.
Wu Zheng laughed angrily? "Someone's ......!"
Jiang Quanyi was so anxious that he rushed to the fence, pointed at Shi Chengze and scolded: "It's none of your business...... Get lost! ”
Shi Chengze still wants to theorize? It can be seen that Jiang Quanyi's eyes are as wide as bull's eyes, and he can only bow his head and retreat without saying a word.
Jiang Quanyi smiled at Wu Zheng, "Young man...... Not sensible? Don't worry? In the future, I will definitely teach them the etiquette well. ”
"In the future?" Wu Zheng sneered, "Ignoring people's lives, killing good people and risking merit, and disobeying Shangguan...... What sin will give you a future? ”
"Alas...... You can't wronged the general, prince. ”
"Wronged?" Wu Zheng scoffed.
Jiang Quanyi said with a depressed face: "The last general...... At most, he will take a straw and take people's lives, and kill the good and risk the merits...... The work of recovering Xuzhou, the prince has not been rewarded? Where did you come from...... Besides? The prince said that I disobeyed the officials...... Isn't the last general just this temper, is it a sin or a sin, and that's not a matter of your words, Lord Wang? ”
Speaking of this, Jiang Quanyi shuddered and said hurriedly: "You won't really use the head of the last general to pay for the lives of those who are rich and unkind, right?" Lord, didn't you see it? These people ...... They should be killed, before our army storms the city? They abuse the people with impunity, in order to rob the fields and houses? They can even kill entire families...... When the civil unrest began, they even colluded with the garrison? Wanton massacres of civilians who did not participate in civil unrest? In order to get it, it is ...... to reckoning and revenge! ”
"Is this just your rhetoric? What you said may exist, but it is only an exception or a small number of people...... If you don't believe it, among the more than 3,000 people you have killed, all of them are rich or unkind? ”
Wu Zheng is not wrong, although the world is declining, and many elites and wealthy families in the world have behaved too shamelessly, dirty, and out of proportion in the face of this national catastrophe, but on the other hand, it is unfair to deny it completely.
For example, like Qian Sule, who was born into a noble family, he could be classified as a wealthy person, but when the upheaval occurred, he could destroy his family and contact the local squires to gather the rebel army to fight against the Qing army.
And like Zhang Huangyan, Xia Wanchun, etc., which one is not a scholar?
Chen Zilong, who has not been favored by Wu Zheng, when the Qing army went south, Chen Zilong and Xu Fuyuan were also led to the rank of staff member, leading the righteous army to resist the Qing in Chenhu, and now Wu Songwei commanded Lu Zhiyu, the elder brother of Lu Zhiyu, to counterattack Wuxi, and also had a credit from Chen Zilong and his disciple Xia Wanchun.
Even traitors like Ma Shiying, who are notorious and are not treated by the Qing Dynasty, have always insisted on opposing the Qing Dynasty.
Wu Zheng is not anti-rich or hateful to the rich, and has been suppressing this class all these years, just because he does not have the time and energy to distinguish which of the good people and which are the bad people in this class.
In fact, it is always difficult to distinguish between good people and bad people, and Wu Zheng can only "freeze" this class and find the most stable support from the most vulnerable poor people.
Therefore, Wu Zheng was very angry at Jiang Quanyi's tyrannical and highly targeted killings, because this could easily lead to an internal class conflict, especially Wu Zheng's "notoriety" of "killing the rich and helping the poor" in his early years.
Jiang Quanyi doesn't understand?
No, he actually understood Wu Zheng's mind very well.
Jiang Quanyi is a scholar, and he has also been moved, if it weren't for the bloody battle of Yizhen back then, he might have been a squire in the six parts or entered the imperial history platform.
Keyi really fought in blood, and 20,000 Jingwei died in front of him one by one, and anyone who was not insane would have a great change in his heart.
In fact, Jiang Quanyi's own background is the "rich man" he wants to kill now, that is, he is now opposing the class he originally belonged to.
Wu Zheng didn't intend to severely punish Jiang Quanyi with his life, and the reason why Jiang Quanyi was locked up was not because of his confrontation, Wu Zheng just didn't want to see a class struggle immediately after the success of the Northern Expedition, just as he didn't want to see the Northern Expeditionary Army and the Great Western Army fighting.
"Listen to what the sentry just said...... You haven't eaten in a day? Wu Zheng slowed down his tone and replied.
Jiang Quanyi was stunned for a moment, "The city has just recovered, and there are a lot of trivial matters, it's not that I don't have time to eat, it's just that I ...... I'm not hungry. ”
Wu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In the past month, you have led your troops to participate in the Battle of Sizhou and the Battle of Xuzhou, so it's really time to rest...... In this way, the chaos in Xuzhou City, let Li Hao take care of the aftermath for you...... You're going to be in prison for a month, and it's time for you to recuperate...... After that, you will go back to reorganize the Taizhou Guard, and give you new recruits, so that this elite who have made a lot of achievements can no longer be so depressed. ”
