Verse 24 plucks the edge of rebellion 6
Han Shizhong is a general of Cangbei, but he is not a nobody.
If the cavalry officer said that Zhao Gonglian had ordered a war with the two southern states, or that it might be a nonsense made up improvised to deal with the crisis situation and save his life, then this said the same meaning from Han Shizhong's mouth and explained the internal cause, then it would be absolutely true.
If Hejian Mansion dares to play tough, the Cangbei Army will really brazenly go south to start a war.
Now, the Western Army is rebelling, and the entire Northwest Army and people are following the pirate army to defect from the Great Song Dynasty, and the Northwest Strong Army, which the Great Song Dynasty relies on the most, is gone, and the remaining Great Song Army, I am afraid that only the 20,000 soldiers of the Cangbei Army are worthy of being called an elite and strong army, and I am afraid that only 20,000 soldiers will be invincible in the Great Song Dynasty.
And Zhao Gonglian is a genius who can create miracles, that is, he can quickly train unbearable troops or ordinary people into elites who are not afraid of death.
He now has forty or fifty thousand monks who are already good at martial arts and there is no shortage of fierce monks from temples in various places as soldiers, and such a terrifying force has been transformed into a well-trained fierce army.......
There are still more than 500,000 unconcerned men in Cangbei,
Quan Te resents the monks, and he is afraid that he is full of infinite hatred for the Great Song Dynasty....... It's just that I'm afraid of the Cangbei Army or grateful to Zhao Gonglian......
Look back at the border army between the rivers......
Captain Su worked hard for the training of the new army, but unfortunately he was not Zhao Gonglian, scratching his scalp and breaking his head, but he just didn't have that ability, and he ..... I don't have that kind of courage and prestige.
Nearly 100,000 horses, tsk...... Is it the opponent of the Cangbei Army.
The two armies faced each other, but they didn't have to fight, and as soon as the Cangbei army charged with the ferocity of the sky, the Hejian army collapsed and fled.
Hejian Tongju's heart was frightened and confused, and he didn't dare to fight with the cavalry commanded by Han Shizhong, and he was worried that his stomach would hurt and he would not be able to eat the pain when he bled and left.
Su Taiwei was furious when he saw that the general judgment was futile and returned to the dead general, but after hearing the general judgment, he was frightened and worried, and said that the suspicious Cangbei army might have heard the imperial court and did not listen to Xuan, his anger suddenly turned into a bucket of ice water and poured it on his head..... Extinguished the fire and shuddered.........
Zheng Juzhong, the governor of Cangzhou, didn't know the conflict and panic that occurred on this side of the river.
He was even more angry and hated Zhao Gonglian for actually collecting Cangzhou's grain and not giving a grain to the Cangzhou government, and directly wanted to use the hard one, and ordered the soldiers and horses to control the stone run, and led the troops to intercept the grain truck in person.
However, Shi Fu Lian, who has always been in cahoots with him, has a tacit understanding, but this time he is unusual, and he refuses to cooperate in the rectification of Cangzhao against Zhao Gongjian.
"Lord Zhizhou, Ben General has been in poor health recently, and he really can't stand the bumps of the war horse, and he can't lead the soldiers to travel. Sorry, you can transfer someone else. “
said politely, but in action, he turned around and left, not listening to what Zheng Juzhong would explain at all.
Zheng Juzhong...... was very angry, but he was helpless, he barely calmed down, he himself was unwilling to endure hardships and risk taking the risk of personally leading troops to intercept grain, and wanted to ask Lao Tong to judge the horse.
Lao Tongju glanced at Zheng Juzhong strangely, and saw that Zheng Juzhong was slowly embarrassed, and then said slowly: "Last time I faced the threat of pirate extortion, it was the old man who took his head to maneuver, right?" This...... Hehe, Lord Zheng, that's how you became a governor? “
You are the chief, but you don't take responsibility, you always ask others to take risks to take responsibility, don't you think you are too incompetent but willful and even more shameless, too shameless?
It is important to:
Do you think you are the king of heaven, and others have to listen to whatever you say? Do you feel better about yourself? The general judgment is the official who specializes in restraining you. You actually want to use the general sentence as a petty official. You're offending people all over again. Cangzhou, who really listens to you now?!
But Zheng Juzhong didn't realize that he had become a lonely and widowed official, and his heart was immersed in bitter hatred for Zhao Gonglian.
If it weren't for Zhao Gonglian, he Zheng Juzhong would have been a comfortable high-ranking official in the gentle and merry township of Tokyo, how could he have come to Cangzhou to endure hardships, be frightened and humiliated.
If it weren't for Zhao Gonglian, how could he Zheng Juzhong fall into this embarrassing predicament of not being able to advance or retreat, not only did he not make money in Cangzhou, but he also couldn't ...... It's humane.
Yes, Guan Juzhong finally found that his "gun" couldn't be hard.
It's one thing that there are no beauties to play in Cangzhou City, but whether you have the ability to play is the key.
Even if there are celestial immortals who turn sentient beings upside down in front of them, they can't get their hands on it. This pain......
Like Zhao Ji, this blow is too serious.
A manly man, it is not terrible to have nothing with his bare hands, and he can break into the world with a "gun".
The gun is soft, it's useless, you can't play beautifully, what's the point of living? How else to break into the world? What are you still ambitious about, what are you doing, what are you going to be famous?
It's just that Zheng Juzhong is reluctant to die.
Then, everything is transformed into ..... Hatred, hatred for Zhao Gonglian and the Cangzhao family.
A person like him will not wake up to his own sins, and will only blame others for all his faults, even if he knows that this person is an innocent person he designed to poison.
Unable to cut off the grain, the Cangbei Army could only let the Cangbei Army roll up the grain and vegetables that should have belonged to Cangzhou, and the autumn harvest passed in a blink of an eye.
Then, you can also collect taxes from the people.
Target: The people on the other side of the salt mountain.
There are more than 100,000 people, and there are a lot of taxes on money and grain, not to mention that I heard that the Cangbei Army also collects a large amount of grain and vegetables over there........
Zheng Juzhong is no longer normal.
Restless, confused, panicked, and surging in my heart with a wild current of passion that is about to crack, but what is about to explode is no longer beautiful poetry and songs, but something else. He wants to yell loudly, he wants to vent, he wants to hug something, he wants to find something, he wants to be cared for and supportive, and he wants to kill people and abuse him with power..... Zhao Gonglian, Cangzhao, and all the people who follow and depend on Cangzhao..... Those damn Cangbei people, why didn't they settle in Cangzhou City, surround him, support him, and flatter him, and behave with his face? Why do you still follow Zhao Zhuang, who has become completely bankrupt and can't take care of them? Why? Why? Ahh.......h
I, Zheng Juzhong, am the world's great talents, virtuous and loyal ministers....... What is Zhao Gonglian?
Crazy, ignorant of the rules, unruly, and lucky enough to be a high-ranking official, he can't change the things of a cheap wild man......... Are you worthy of opposing me Zheng Juzhong.......
This time, he personally led the team out to collect food, but he brought 3,000 men and horses.
Cangzhou originally had 8,000 troops.
The summer disaster, two thousand emperor Zhao Ji specially sent to help Zheng Juzhong sit in Cangzhou's forbidden army, was extorted by pirates as coolies, the border pass, and in the Liao army Han Chang Han Yanshou to destroy Zhao Zhuang when he broke through the border pass killed hundreds, the rest of the border army fled without a fight, and then returned, Cangzhou army left more than 5,000 points, after the imperial court in order to strengthen his forces to guard Cangzhou and monitor Zhao Zhuang and deliberately added the soldiers who were dismantled from the state to Cangzhou to restore to the eight thousand army. Four thousand guarded the border pass, four thousand were in Cangzhou City, and he came out with three thousand........
On the way here, Zheng Juzhong thought about it, if Diao people from Cangbei dared to resist paying taxes, or Zhao Zhuang dared to come forward to stop him, he would not hesitate to wave his army.......
However, when he arrived, he saw a sign erected in the middle of the road, with large red letters written on it: Private territory, no entry.
Further on is the range of the Cangzhao family's fields, where people from the north of Cangbei gather.
Zheng Juzhong looked at the dazzling words on the sign, and somehow he instantly became angry and couldn't be suppressed, without instructing others, he got out of the sedan chair himself and personally pulled up the sign repeatedly, slammed it on the ground with a loud cry and stomped a few feet, and scolded angrily: "Private territory? I call you private, I call you private...... The rebels also dared to set up signs to demonstrate to the high-ranking officials of the dynasty and the local parents and officials......"
was stomping to relieve his hatred and scolding vigorously, when he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Zheng Juzhong, are you crazy, dare to come to the door to provoke the prince?" “
"Marquis?"
Zheng Juzhong looked up at the voice, his eyes flashed with a crazy look, when he saw that it was a Taoist priest with a sword on his back and a snow-white dust, it was Zhao Zhuang's son-in-law Li Zhu, only one person, he laughed wildly, laughed for a while, and then completely forgot the noble body of Sven, who was valued and complacent in the past, and shouted hoarsely: "What bullshit country? What provocation? Your master is bankrupt, and Zhao Zhuang has lost everything to others. Salt Mountain: All this is no longer your master's property. What, oh, Chai Jin, it was Chai Jin who became the owner of this. What is Chai in? Dare to erect a sign prohibiting the official from entering the territory to collect taxes? The tax exemption of the Chai family is limited to the land of his Chai family village. The"
Zheng Juzhong pointed heavily at his feet, "This is the place of taxation, and it is the jurisdiction of the official, and you must honestly pay taxes, grain, and vegetables to the official, and pay everything that the official wants to collect." “
Li Zhu looked at Zheng Juzhong's frenzied appearance, and instead of being annoyed, he laughed: "Hahaha...... Zheng Juzhong, you have gone crazy by yourself, haha......."
"Bastard, you're crazy. You, dog Taoist thief, dare not worship the official? An dare to speak disrespectfully to this official? Come on, take down this thief with me. “
Li Zhu laughed more and more happily: "Zheng Juzhong, do you want to play power?" “
"Okay, wow, come, come on, poor Dao to see which of us can spread whom."
As soon as Zheng Juzhong heard this, he immediately looked around in shock, for fear that Zhao Zhuang murderers were ambushed around him to clean him up.
At the beginning, he used gray means to rectify Cangzhao, but on the road happened to meet Zhao Yue escorting his grandmother and mother back to his hometown from Qingzhou, that time, Zhao Yue's ferociousness and audacity had already made him suffer a loss and lose the adult left too deep an impression, so that he was very aggrieved and frightened in retrospect, and realized that Cangzhao not only has a powerful and difficult Zhao Gonglian Zhao Boss, but also a reckless and cruel, more unscrupulous but also powerful Zhao Lao Er, who may be more terrible and difficult to provoke, and later encountered a kidnapping crisis..... Tossing and turning into the abyss of self-digging step by step, I still think about it, he will still wake up in the midnight dream, unable to understand what happened at that time, only feel weird, unpredictable, such as meeting a demon opponent who controls people's hearts.... I shudder with fear every time........ As a result, he left sequelae, in fact, he was already deeply afraid of Zhao Yue and Zhao Zhuang's strong disciples in his bones, and will he ........ today
His timid and sneaky appearance provoked Li Zhu to laugh again.
"Zheng Juzhong, you dare to rely on some troops and power to tear your face and play fierce, regardless of the system. Then the poor road might as well tell you that Gonglian said, you are a stinger pierced in the heart of the country and the nation. In the future, I will no longer be accustomed to all you dog officials who only care about selfish interests, only play insidious infighting, and disregard the safety of the country and the nation. “
"What bankruptcy, what property ownership, it doesn't matter what you say. Where the Cangzhao family is, that is the territory of the Hou Mansion. Whoever dares to provoke and violate is looking for death. In the future, I will be in the Zhao family, and my Zhao Zhuang will be so domineering. Zheng Juzhong, if you are not convinced, then try. Let's see if these rotten soldiers under your command will be powerful, or if I, Zhao Zhuang, will be powerful. If it is not enough to fight like this, then the two armies will start a large-scale and out-and-out war like an enemy country. Zheng Juzhong, you send all the troops under your command over. I don't need to call the Cangbei Army on this side, only I, Zhao Zhuang, lead the Cangbei people's soldiers, you see if my Zhao Zhuang Army can beat your so-called Cangzhou Army, this gang of soldiers and bandits are full of farts and urine. “
Li Zhu's arrogant remarks made the Cangzhou army, especially the newly joined strong soldiers from other places, embarrassed and angry.
But Zheng Juzhong felt something else.
He is an old official, although he does not have the talent to govern the country and secure the country, but he has enough experience in officialdom, and the political sensitivity trained by infighting is not low, and he is an absolute master in grasping the handle to find the guilty and overthrow the opponent.
He heard it, Zhao Zhuang, well, to be precise, Zhao Gonglian's forces will no longer be observant of the rules of the imperial court's discipline and orders, and will no longer be limited to the status of a Song subject and have to make concessions to the rude persecution imposed by the government that represents the state power and majesty, and will no longer wronged themselves.
In other words: Cangzhao has put his own interests first from now on. Anyone who dares to infringe on the interests of Cangzhao, regardless of whether you are in the government or the imperial court, is an enemy, and they will be able to fight as such.
This is clearly a rebellious heart, disloyal to the court, disrespectful to the king, and it is simply openly announcing rebellion.
However, Zheng Juzhong himself, as well as Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Bai Shizhong, Zhang Bangchang, Gao Yu...... Which is not self-interested first? Which one was not such a rebellious official earlier?
The things they do and the evil they do are all for their own selfish interests and pleasures, and they have never thought that they will harm the country and the nation, and they will destroy the throne of the king.
They didn't speak openly like Li Zhu, but they didn't have that power themselves, they just had to rely on the power given by the imperial court, and they had to rely on the imperial court and they had to appear loyal to the king in order to have the conditions to wreak havoc on the world.......
Therefore, Zheng Juzhong was shocked and quickly understood from what he had done: Cangzhao did not want to rebel, he was not ready to oppose the imperial court, but he was determined to be like these officials for personal gain first, and then consider the country. If the interests of the state are inconsistent with the interests of Cangzhao, then the Cangzhao family, like other bureaucrats, will always focus on selfish interests and ignore the needs of the state. Since then, the Cangzhao family has no longer blindly been generous and selfless to the court, and is no longer benevolent and tolerant to the people of the world. At least for now.
And the person directly responsible for such a drastic change in the Cangzhao family is him Zheng Juzhong himself.
It was he who not only ruined the extreme prosperity of Cangzhou, but also forced or struggled to teach Cangzhao to finally wake up and learn how to face everything with ruthlessness and selfishness.
It was he who worked hard with the emperor and the imperial court to force such a powerful family of loyalty and filial piety to the king to no longer emphasize loyalty and no longer keep loyalty and filial piety........ And for now...... Zheng Juzhong glanced at Li Zhu's gaze that was staring coldly at his neck, and suddenly a cold air rushed from the soles of his feet to his heart.
Dangerous. I'm afraid that my life is in danger.
If you dare to use force to loot and exploit the people here, Zhao Zhuang will definitely lead the crowd to slaughter the officers and soldiers.
In the chaos, it is not impossible to take the opportunity to kill him, the Zhizhou that the Cangzhao family must hate very much.
Don't care what happens to Cangzhao afterwards, he Zheng Juzhong must have already taken the first step.
What's even more terrifying is that if they are forced to force each other again, once the situation is out of control, Cangzhao will be openly tolerated by the imperial court, and there will be no way out, so it will be natural..... Rebellion.
Zheng Juzhong hated that Cangzhao would become a rebel and be immediately eradicated by the imperial court, but he didn't dare to force Cangzhao to take that last step.
Because, at that time, the first person to die must be him Zheng Juzhong himself.
His head will be pulled off and become the head of the Cangzhao anti-army sacrifice banner, at least one of them.
Zheng Juzhong figured it out: Cangzhao has been forced to be on the verge of being against or not against it. Zhao Zhuang is a powder keg that will ignite and explode at any time, and whoever pounces on it will die.
His face was pale, and he was in a cold sweat...... Zheng Juzhong didn't dare to say anything again, staggered into the car and left.
