Chapter 1274: Position
Jiang Quanyi followed Wu Zheng a little late, but he was familiar with Wu Zheng's action of "robbing the rich and helping the poor" in Yingtianfu, in fact, Jiang Quanyi agreed with this move after understanding Wu Zheng's character.
Jiang Quanyi smiled now, this thing is worth doing.
But over there, Zu Dabi's face changed color, he was shocked in his heart, robbing the people, although the reputation is not good, but the consequences are still controllable. On the contrary, if you rob the businessmen and gentlemen, the wealthy and wealthy families, it will be a serious problem.
Whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the Qing court, I have not heard of anyone who dares to do this, you must know that you usually serve as an official, and when you arrive at the place, you must first visit the local squires to seek their support for their own government decrees, that is, the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, otherwise, it will be attacked by a group.
Of course, Wu Zheng's power position is too big and too high, and he does not need to seek the support of the local forces in Huai'an, but the reason is the same, even if it is the emperor, no matter how great the power is, he also needs the support of the people below.
Once these "social elites" are really robbed, will this Huai'an City still be able to stay? In addition, Taizhou Wei saw blood in the city before, so it must not immediately cause a riot?
"Never ...... Lord, I have been in Huai'an City for less than three months, and as soon as I arrived, I visited the squires and scholars for a banquet in exchange for their support for me to garrison this city. Even if he ordered the collection of grain on the market due to the lack of food in the future, he would not dare to easily touch the rice shops and grain shops ...... these people. ”
Wu Zheng smiled and said, "You just have to answer the king's question." ”
Zu Dabi choked, and had to say: "In fact, the squires in the city have almost gone, and they left Huai'an before the war, some went to Fengyang, and some crossed the river to Qinghe, Suqian and other places...... Lord Wang, you really can't do this, if you really want to do it, it's better to rob the ordinary people. ”
Wu Zheng shook his head with a smile and said: "It's just right that people are not there, there is a way to run, and the monk can't run the temple, as long as the family business is there...... In this way, Jiang Quanyi, you go to the yamen to check the household registration register, and then follow the map to search for Ji and raid the rice shops and grain stores...... Of course, you have to explain to someone how much you take, leave the voucher, and say that the king will borrow it temporarily, and after the war is over, you can use this evidence to ask the king for an account. ”
Jiang Quanyi laughed and said, "Order." ”
Wu Zheng's face was straight, and he said, "Remember, it's not a robbery...... It's borrowed! ”
Jiang Quanyi nodded in understanding and said, "I'll take care of it." ”
Zu Dabi looked at these two people dumbfounded, isn't this the enemy of the world? In Zu Dabi's view, what the people of the world represent are these "social elites", and they have nothing to do with ordinary people. Wu Zheng's move really refreshed his concept.
When Jiang Quanyi left to run errands, Wu Zheng smiled and said to Zu Dabi, who couldn't close his mouth for a long time, and said: "Commander Zu relaxes, this king is not an unreasonable person, instead of burying these people's grain in the cellar, it is better to borrow this king's envoy first to solve the urgent need, right?" ”
Zu Dabi said: "They didn't break the law...... At least not to raid the house, whether it is according to the law of the Ming or the law, the anti-counterfeiting of the residence is an iron law! ”
Residential anti-counterfeiting means that if someone enters your home illegally, you have the right to violence, and even killing is not illegal.
This law originated from Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty, who made this extremely important of the nine-tone law in order to quickly win the hearts of the people and strengthen himself.
In other words, even if it is a government office, it is not allowed to enter the owner's house (this law was continued until later generations, but the funny thing is that "country A" inherited this law and still uses it today).
Obviously, Wu Zheng didn't know this law, so he had the memory of later generations, and once the war started, all the people and things under his jurisdiction could be requisitioned.
Wu Zheng waved his hand and said abruptly: "This king didn't say that he was copying their home, but he was temporarily borrowing rice and grain...... Then they will be returned. ”
Zu Dabi was silent, he was speechless, is this called borrowing?
Maybe Wu Zheng borrowed sincerely, but once the army is used, can it still be called borrowed?
Wu Zheng obviously didn't have this kind of consciousness, so he immediately changed the topic and asked, "Isn't the ancestral commander not interested in wanting to talk to this king?" ”
When Zu Dabi heard this, he sighed in his heart, what should come is still coming after all, and he can't avoid it, and he can't avoid it.
"The lowly position is about to repay the prince."
"Let's talk about it." Wu Zheng pointed to his seat, "Sit down and speak, from the beginning." ”
"Thank you, Lord Wang." Zu Dabi arched his hand, sat down slowly, and said, "Actually, the regent...... The layout of Dolgon's battle, it is difficult to see the whole leopard with a low position, and the prince knows that the low position is just a ...... general. ”
"No, you're different from the others." Wu Zheng interrupted unceremoniously, "You are the minister of the Qing court and the deputy capital of the Han army with the yellow flag, and you are really lacking in the second grade." ”
Zu Dabi felt a bitterness in his heart, and said with a forced smile: "The prince is serious, although the rank is high, but the humble position is a Han after all. ”
"Hmm......." Wu Zheng nodded and said, "It's good to understand this, then there is no need for this king to be verbose." This king knows that you have no choice but to surrender to the Qing, and after the Qing, except for the battle of Huai'an City, there is not much bad ....... ”
Zu Dabi smiled bitterly, he belonged to two camps at that time, and in the blink of an eye, it became a sin to resist the enemy.
Wu Zheng looked at Zu Dabi and said: "Don't feel wronged, you have to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, this king can understand, but you can work so hard for the Qing court, it doesn't make sense." ”
"Lord Wang, north of the Yellow River, and even the city of Huai'an, where the prince is staying now, has been ruled by the Qing court for five years, what five years...... The lowly brothers also looked forward to the Northern Expedition of the king before, but they really couldn't wait so long...... He has a family to support. In the Battle of Datong, Tulushi was seriously injured in the Battle of Jinzhou, and Dabi killed the Qing army Baturum Muketan...... Lord Wang, the battle of Songjin was defeated by our army and surrendered, which is really a great regret in Dabi's life, but no matter where I talk about it, I am confident that I am worthy of the ...... of the previous dynasty. ”
"No!" Wu Zheng interrupted again, "Just because you have military exploits doesn't mean that you can cover up your mistakes in surrendering to the Ming Dynasty...... The previous dynasty may not be able to live with you or your brother, but you are even more sorry for the world, and even more so with the Han blood flowing in your body. ”
Zu Dabi was about to open his mouth to refute, but Wu Zheng raised his hand to stop him, "This king is not free, he is entangled with you in the affairs of the previous dynasty, and now the war is urgent, you can talk about Dorgon's deployment first...... Tell what you know, talk about what you don't know, and tell everything you know. ”
Zu Dabi sighed heavily, he knew in his heart that in the battle of Huai'an City, he caused Taizhou Wei to suffer a lot of casualties, Wu Zheng had a deep prejudice against himself, and it was a blessing not to pursue it, and it would become bad if he said more.
