Chapter 117: Control
"Your Royal Highness, the Lord Stay-at-Chief, you are finally back!" Gongsun Yu, the new governor of Gyeongju, saw the two return to the mansion, like a baby meeting his parents.
Wan Yankang laughed: "Lord Tongzhi, I am not here with the left-behind adults, you alone have the final say in this Gyeongju City, why are you still looking forward to the two of us coming back!" ”
Gongsun Yu said with a bitter face: "The prince is making fun of me again." ”
In the past half a month, at the beginning, as Wan Yankang said, Gongsun Yu was in power and full of ambition.
Unexpectedly, just a few days later, these magnates and gentlemen who seemed to be subdued jumped out one after another to make frequent trouble.
At the beginning, these people just made some small things to add obstacles to Gongsun Yu. After all, Gongsun Yu has been sentenced for many years, and he has a group of good catchers and servants, but it is not difficult to deal with some miscellaneous matters.
After another two or three days, when these people saw that Yan Kang did not show up, they were bold enough to toss, and even the grain depot in the north of the city went out of the water inexplicably.
Gongsun Yu panicked, and sent people to the barracks again and again to ask for instructions.
"A little thing, Gongsun Tongzhi can make self-determination, and the sky can't fall!"
Gongsun Yu got the words of the little prince, and he was relieved, which meant that he should be arrested and killed.
In the eyes of the little prince, it is a trivial matter, just cut off a few heads and copy a few homes.
But when it comes to Gongsun Yu, it won't work!
Catch some sloppy gangsters, and the servants under him are good to use, and the orders of the same lord are effective.
When ordering these quick servants to rush to the mansion of the powerful and wealthy gentry in Gyeongju to arrest people, one by one those who were sick got sick and those who were injured were the people of the Gongsun family, and they actually pulled their hind legs at this time.
If this Gongsun Yu is a pedantic person, he will be tossed like this, and he will spew out a few mouthfuls of old blood.
But this person is indeed outstanding, and when he is frustrated, he calms down and thinks about it, and he has a plan in his heart.
As the saying goes, the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry, and the little prince is not serious, so he can wait with peace of mind!
Wan Yankang listened to Gongsun Yu spit out bitter water for half an hour, but he didn't answer, until Gongsun Yu's mouth was dry, and he took the tea bowl and poured water in a big gulp. After Yan Kang smiled and teased: "Gongsun Tongzhi, it seems that this position is not very comfortable!" ”
Gongsun Yu straightened his clothes, and said with a straight face: "The lower officials know that His Royal Highness the Prince must have a plan, and I hope His Royal Highness will make it clear!" ”
"How should these people deal with the things they tossed out according to the law?"
"Your Royal Highness, in the past half a month, the children of the four major families and the eight wealthy families in the city have committed crimes, and the case of the fire in the grain depot in the north of the city is said to be the leader of the Tian family, and the rest of the families have been involved." Gongsun Yu arched his hand.
"Supposedly?" Wan Yankang stretched out his voice and asked.
Gongsun Yu showed a look of shame and embarrassment, and knelt down in front of Wan Yankang: "Despicable and incompetent, there was a fire in the north of the city, and all the soldiers on duty died." The cause of death, according to the puppet, was burned to death while fighting the fire. ”
Wan Yankang sighed and said: "I wanted to be a good person, but in this world, people are good and are bullied!" ”
Gongsun Yu was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do.
Wan Yankang suddenly laughed, and after laughing, he pulled Gongsun Yu up: "Gongsun Tongzhi, please get up, I know your recent grievances, with you a thousand soldiers and horses, do you dare to bring these lawless people to justice!" ”
Gongsun Yu suffered from no one in his hands a few days ago, and now there are a thousand soldiers and horses to use, so he naturally readily agreed, but he hesitated for a moment before saying: "Your Highness, the families and wealthy families in the city have private soldiers, if you really use the sword soldiers, I am afraid that the soldiers will be damaged......
Gongsun Yu's words were a little subtle, and the implication was that Yan Kang understood in seconds, the combat effectiveness of our Gyeongju army is only afraid that it is not as good as the private army of these wealthy families.
Wan Yan Kang laughed, patted Gongsun Yu's shoulder and said, "All reactionaries are paper tigers. You can do it with confidence, if anyone dares to resist by force, they will all be exterminated! ”
As soon as this murderous voice fell, Gongsun Yu couldn't help but shudder, he looked up at Yan Kang's tender face that was not as weak as the crown, and his expression was not angry and arrogant.
Those who are masters should be like this! Gongsun Yu said secretly in his heart.
"I was ordered to arrest Tian Hongguang and his henchmen, open the door as soon as possible, hand over the prisoners, and those who violated the order will not be spared!" Gongsun Yu took 500 soldiers and rushed to the front of the former Tongzhitian Hongguang Mansion.
Five hundred soldiers will move, which is unusual in the city, and the Tian family has already heard from it and closed the gate. A shout came from behind the wall: "Gongsun dog thief, my Tian family has worked for Dajin for three generations, you don't have to think that you can do anything wrong with the messy life of the stinky little doll!" ”
The voice of the person inside the wall was obviously Gongsun Yu's old acquaintance, Tian Hongguang.
Gongsun Yu wanted to shout a few more words, but a black-faced junior colonel beside him was already furious, and rushed out and scolded: "Old horseman, dare to insult my handsome family, look for death!" ”
This black-faced little colonel is Zhang Qide in the first phase of the Divine Soldiers, and Wan Yankang's position in this group of students is like a celestial being, how can he allow others to insult half a sentence.
After saying this, Zhang Qide pulled out his waist knife and shouted: "Divine soldier, invincible!" ”
Among these 500 soldiers, there are 30 first-term cadets, and these 30 cadets, after half a month of training, all occupy the position of 10 commanders or centurions in the Gyeongju army. These students are not very old, but they all won the position by virtue of their real skills.
Running fast, winning battles, and being able to read and write, the cadets quickly conquered Gyeongju Chopa, who originally looked down on them.
As soon as Zhang Qide's words came out, other soldiers raised their swords and shouted: "Divine soldiers, invincible!" Then he rushed towards the gate of Tianfu like a tide.
Although Tian Fuzhong got the news and closed the door, how could a gate withstand the impact of hundreds of big men, and it was knocked open in a blink of an eye.
Qian Dafa also led a team of men and horses to go around the backyard, intending to attack back and forth, and must not let any of them go.
More than 100 private soldiers and generals in Tianfu, in front of the Gyeongju army that had been tempered by half a moon, were like earth dogs meeting tigers, and they were silent after a few whimpering, leaving corpses all over the ground.
When I saw the original magnificent Tianfu, it was full of blood and corpses. When Tian Hongguang, who seemed to be majestic a moment ago, knelt in front of him like a dead dog and begged for mercy, Gongsun Yu deeply understood what Wan Yankang said: All reactionaries are paper tigers.
The fall of the Tian family is just the beginning.
In half a day, three more surnames were added to the list of those who raided their homes and exterminated their families, and in the city of Gyeongju, everyone was inexplicably afraid and did not dare to resist by force.
Gongsun Yu is not a cool official, and he asks for people by name for those who do not resist, and those who are asked dare not obey, and for a while, the prison of Gyeongju Mansion is full.
The petty offenders in the former Gyeongju prison were overjoyed, because the prison could no longer accommodate them, so Gongsun Yu ordered these petty offenders to be released first, and then released later.
Two days later, Gongsun Yu entered the palace to report the results of the battle.
Although the original Gongsun Yu was a great talent and a cultivator, after all, he was still a weak scholar in his bones. In the past two days, he has led a large army to kill countless people, and he has a bit of a fierce bearing in his actions, which is like two people in the past.
Wan Yankang secretly praised that talents must be tempered, and only after refining can they become steel.
"The four bandit families headed by the Tian family, all the men have been wiped out, the women are waiting to be released, and the family wealth has been checked and registered, please review it Your Highness!" Gongsun Yu held the account book above his head and presented it to Yan Kang for review.
Wan Yan Kang took the account book, read it carefully, and then handed it to Wan Yan Hongyi on the side, and smiled: "Lord Stay, you were worried that the food and salary of the Gyeongju Army would be increased, and the military budget might not be enough, so you can rest assured." ”
Wanyan Hongyi took the account book and looked at it, it was surprised and happy.
Shocking is that these wealthy families actually have such wealth, and roughly estimated, all the houses, shops, and treasures will be converted into cash, no less than two million taels, which makes Wanyan Hongyi, who has consciously seen the world in the past, breathtaking.
Happily, the property of more than two million taels belongs to himself. No, it is under the control of His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, and this mere 5,000 Gyeongju troops is more than enough for ten years of military spending.
After reading the account book, Yan Hongyi thought about it for a long time, and said: "Your Highness, the orders to raid the Tian family and others this time are all done by the lower officials. ”
Wan Yan Kang looked at Wan Yan Hongyi playfully: "What do you mean by staying behind?" ”
"This time, the Tian family and others raided the family and exterminated the clan, although they were to blame, but the officials were worried that the people would spread the name of His Royal Highness's fierceness, if there were objections, I was afraid that His Royal Highness King Zhao would ...... in today's place."
Wan Yankang laughed: "I already know my uncle's heart of protection, but this burden is impossible for my uncle to bear." In the name of this fierceness, in this troubled world, what's the matter! ”
Wanyan Hongyi said: "Your Highness, ...... today"
Wan Yankang shook his head: "Instead of sneaking around, covering your ears and stealing the bell, it is better to be above board in everything, and maybe you can reduce that person's suspicions." ”
Wanyan Hongyi knew that King Zhao was now feared by Jinshang, so he wanted to take the initiative to take responsibility. It's just that Wan Yankang said this, and he also understood that what was the difference between whether he ordered it himself or Wan Yankang himself......
Gongsun Yu was a little foggy when he heard this, and only after a while did he ask: "In this case, it is better to ...... all those in prison" Saying that, Gongsun Yu made a neck cutting motion.
Wan Yankang sat down and took a sip of tea, his expression was indifferent: "Lord Tongzhi, are you addicted to murder?" You need to know that we are waiting to kill people, and we are only killing, and in the past two days, the blood shed in Gyeongju City has been enough. The rest of these people, let's treat them differently, if there are people who are full of evil, they will be beheaded together to make the people angry, and some small evil people will be ransomed by their families. ”
When Gongsun Yu heard this, he admired His Royal Highness Wan Yankang even more.
If Yan Kang is finished, he will only blindly kill people, but he is just a reckless man.
As soon as this killing is released, in Gyeongju City, there are still people who are not convinced.
The most unconvinced families all saw Hades.
It's too late for the remaining powerful gentry to thank Yan Kang for not killing him, just a ransom, what is it.
After Gongsun Yu was ordered to go out to do errands, Wan Yan Kang said to Wan Yan Hongyi again: "There is another thing, I have to leave behind to arrange people to do it." ”
Wanyan Hongyi got up and arched his hand: "Your Highness has an order, and I will go immediately." ”
Wan Yankang smiled and pressed his hand and said, "Sit down and say, this is a good thing, you have to do it slowly." ”
Among the four families of the Tian family, in addition to the silver taels, there are countless grains, and in addition to filling the burned grain depot in the north of the city, there is still most of the remaining. Wan Yankang's heart just now turned around, and he had a brilliant idea.
Wanyan Hongyi, a left-behind adult, came forward to give a bucket of rice to every household in Gyeongju Prefecture, and even opened a porridge shop in all directions, one porridge a day, to supply the hungry people in the city.
As soon as this law came out, the whole body of Gyeongju was under someone's control!
