What kind of Yao Gu is in Futai, of course Gao Shishi can't answer this question now, but he doesn't intend to hide this one, so he said bluntly: "This matter is still in the verification stage, but there is already a safe way to verify it, and I believe it will not take long to get the result." ”

Gao Pragmatic replied like this, Cen Qigongzi had a number in his heart, and he said in his heart: It seems that Gao Pragmatic is indeed investigating this matter, but he came to Guangxi too late after all, and I am afraid that this matter has just begun, but the problem now is that Zhang Ren has not much time to hold on.

Although Cen Qigongzi is not very clear about the differences between those factions in the imperial court, at least one thing is clear now: Zhang Ren advocates changing the Bazhai area to return to the stream, and Gao Pragmatic has not made a clear statement at present, but the rumors released by Liuzhou show that he is most likely also in favor of changing the land and returning to the stream, and now there is another corroboration, that is, he is investigating the "cause" for Zhang Ren, that is, the Zhonggu incident.

From this, it can be inferred that Gao's pragmatic attitude should be consistent with Zhang Ren, in other words, he and Zhang Ren are comrades-in-arms standing on the same front.

The ownership of the Bazhai area is of course important, and the outside world believes that neither the Cen family nor the Huang family will inevitably tolerate the Bazhai area being sent to the Liuguan. But Cen Qigongzi himself knew that he could completely give up the Bazhai area.

Because the conditions did not allow him to insist!

That day, when the four major toasts met by Longshou Lake, the reason why he was able to restrain his emotions and let the Zhao family, which Huang Zhiting supported, obtain his approval, was also because the conditions did not allow it.

The Cen family in Sicheng is in danger of hanging upside down, where can they take care of a place in Bazhai?

In the final analysis, the land of Bazhai was originally nominally suppressed by the Danwei in the south of the imperial court, but in fact, it was almost the autonomy of the Yao people.

The reason why Liangjiang Tusi is not happy that the imperial court directly governs Bazhai is that the most critical problem is that he does not want to see the further expansion of the imperial court's power in Guangxi, but the current situation is different, his Sicheng Cen family is in a mess, where can he manage the land of Bazhai hundreds of miles away?

Take 10,000 steps back and say, the land of Bazhai is just a state situation, and the imperial court has one more state and one less state in its hands, does it really have that much impact? That's too alarmist, isn't it? As long as the imperial court still thinks that it is not cost-effective to rule the left and right rivers under the direct jurisdiction, and it is necessary for the Tusi to suppress the localities without causing more trouble to the imperial court, the imperial court will not forcibly promote this kind of direct rule of the officials to the left and right rivers region.

In the final analysis, the thinking of the imperial court is actually understood by both sides: engage in encroachment, not whale swallowing.

Although it sounds majestic, it can actually choke people!

In Guangxi, the taxes paid by the entire province are not as good as those in Suzhou, but what is the cost of the imperial court ruling Suzhou? How much money has the imperial court spent in Guangxi every year over the years?

The regular tax paid by Suzhou government in a year is almost 300,000 taels, but what about Guangxi? Now it costs 300,000 taels a year!

This is still in the case that the imperial court only directly governs half of Guangxi, if it forcibly annexes Tusi and changes all the land and returns to the stream, let alone 300,000 taels, 600,000 can't be stopped, and even spending 1 million taels a year to suppress Guangxi's military salary is not impossible!

Guangxi sent good soldiers, that's really not a joke. This point is not only clear to Cen Ling and other Guangxi toasts, but in fact, Gao Pragmatic knows better than them!

Gao Shishi had attended a party school before, and he knew that during the Liberation War, there was a general who had great military achievements and "specialized in fighting fairy battles" once gave such instructions to his subordinates: "To distinguish which of the Kuomintang troops are elite troops, first, we must look at the equipment, and the American-style equipment must be elite troops; Second, we have to look at the accent, and the troops with the Guangxi accent must also be elite troops. If it is both American-style equipment and Guangxi accent, it is definitely the most elite in the Guo Kuomintang army. ”

If this is not enough to illustrate the problem, then the famous Dabie Mountain army still has a clear operational idea to corroborate: first fight the miscellaneous army, then the central army, and avoid the Gui army.

The most interesting thing is that among the 18 warriors who crossed the Dadu River by force, 16 were from Guangxi, and among the 22 warriors who flew to capture the Luding Bridge, 17 were from Guangxi.

Therefore, from the perspective of governance, maintaining stability in Guangxi is the general direction, because there is chaos...... Don't mention anything else, the household is bleeding first!

Anyway, at present, the servant toast is still generally greeting! The wolf soldiers said that they would be recruited, and they also brought their own dry food to go to the army, and they didn't even need to pay money, so why did they force their subordinates to rebel?

Therefore, Cen Ling is very sure that even if he does not fight for the land of Bazhai, the imperial court will not underestimate the role of Tusi because of this, and abandon Tusi at once to completely change the land and return to the stream.

Besides, he had already given Huang Zhiting a step, even if the imperial court directly governed Bazhai, shouldn't Huang Zhiting be unhappy in the first place, why is he in a hurry?

Of course, he didn't know about the agreement reached between Huang Zhiting and the Zhao family, and Huang Zhiting didn't really care about the land of Bazhai and Longzhou she wanted.

Cen Qigongzi looked sad and said, "According to the stage, Futai's condition can't be delayed any longer...... One step earlier to find out the truth, Xia Guan thought it was still necessary. ”

Gao Pragmatic just wanted to tell Cen Ling, don't think that without you, I won't be able to find out the problem. And Cen Ling's answer is that it is more efficient to have me.

The bottom line is clear, then you can talk about it, Gao pragmatic smiled: "Well, Cen Qigongzi is reasonable, since this is the case, Qigongzi might as well say it, who is making trouble...... As for what the Seventh Prince said before, of course, this press will also help some. ”

Gao Pragmatic is also the champion of the six heads and the emperor's close ministers, Cen Ling still believes in his credibility for the time being, since he said so, Cen Ling has to believe it, so he said: "Fu Taizhong Gu is the hands and feet of some of the envoys of the Mo Dynasty that time." ”

Gao Shishi's pupils shrank slightly, and he asked, "How did the Seventh Prince know?" ”

Cen Qigongzi did not hide it, and said: "The Mo clan toast in Xincheng has always been close to my Cen clan, and they are ...... with the Mo dynasty Well, in the past, it was also the same sect, and it was somewhat connected, and I knew some inside information. ”

Gao pragmatically said: You Cen Qigongzi is a bit ruthless in selling his teammates, just this news is enough for the imperial court to serve Mo's toast in one pot.

However, he may have misunderstood Cen Ling, because Cen Ling immediately answered: "The Mo clan was very shocked when he learned the news, and he didn't dare to risk betraying his fellow sect to report to Futai and Taiwan, so he had to tell the news to the lower officials, and the lower officials would help them convey the ......."

Mo's Tusi just has a Xincheng County, and Gao Pragmatic doesn't take it seriously, so he might as well give Cen Ling a face, and waved his hand indifferently: "Since they didn't know about it and didn't report it, this matter could have been temporarily dismissed." ”

"But." Gao Pragmatic suddenly came to a turning point: "What is incomprehensible in this press is that even if the Mo clan and the Mo Dynasty are the same sect, after all, they have been separated for many years, and the Mo Dynasty has done such a rebellious thing, how can the Mo clan toast know?" ”

Cen Qigongzi explained: "The official was about to report this matter, and the reason why the Mo family Tusi was so anxious was because they were deceived by the Mo Dynasty in this matter, and as a result, they inadvertently did a bad thing. ”

Gao Shiyi frowned: "What do you mean by this, what did they do?" ”

Cen Qigongzi sighed and said: "In the previous Bazhai Rebellion, although the heavenly soldiers of our court achieved brilliant results and wiped out the Bazhai rebels in one fell swoop, there were still many powerful people in Bazhai Yao people who fled away, and some of them concealed their identities and pretended to be Yao people from other regions and defected to the neighboring Xincheng County. There are a few people here who can make Yao Gu who have been taken in by the Mo Clan...... Later, Mo Chao got the news for some reason, and he wanted to find Mo Shi to leave a few, and Mo Shi gave it for the sake of the same sect. ”

In the latter words, Gao Pragmatic no longer needs him to continue to make it up - this is obviously Mo Chao spent money to buy a few masters who can use Gu from Mo Toast to harm Zhang Ren, Mo Toast either pretended not to know, or simply didn't report it, and let Mo Chao mess around. Of course, it is also possible that they really did not expect Mo Chao to make such a big deal.

It's just that there is a key problem here that doesn't make sense.

Gao Pragmatic interrupted Cen Qigongzi's words and asked, "There is no need to talk about the fault of the Mo family toast for the time being, what I can't figure out now is the Mo Dynasty, did they take the wrong medicine?" The so-called 'King Qian' Mo Jingdian, who was in charge of his own army, had just died of illness, and they didn't go to prevent the Li Dynasty from taking advantage of the situation, but came to tease my Ming tiger's whiskers, was it because they were worried that they would not die miserably? ”
