Chapter 265: Intricate Situation
Because she didn't sleep well enough, Peng Yingyu woke up after a while, sat up with some difficulty, put on her shoes and socks, and tiptoed out.
Looking at the apprentice who was sleeping on the ground by the door, Peng Yingyu showed a fatherly smile. Amitabha! How many times have we left our master and apprentice, and how many times have we sent people to the fence? Fortunately, with the blessing of the Buddha, I can survive to this day.
Although the great cause has not been accomplished now, the decline of the Yuan Court has become more and more obvious, Liu Futong, Xu Shouhui, Fang Guozhen, with these names appearing one by one, presumably the real Ming Lord should also be born.
It's a pity that I was born at the wrong time! If you can give me another ten years, Rao is true destiny will not come out, and I will definitely be able to re-cultivate a ruler who overthrows this turbid bullshit Yuan Court!
Unwillingness, remorse, sadness, when all kinds of looks flashed on Peng Yingyu's face, a mouthful of blood that had been accumulated for a long time finally couldn't help coughing it out and spit on his hand......
The news of Xu Shouhui's proclamation as emperor spread far and wide, but the reactions caused by all parties were completely different.
King Kuanche Puhua of Weishun lost the battle, and he was afraid that the imperial court would investigate his guilt, so he spent a lot of money to buy off the Pingzhang political affairs monk in Huguang Province, and stopped all the war reports of the successive defeats, and only reported to the imperial court: "The thieves are not small, and the ministers are still leading troops to suppress them." ”
The Yuan court, represented by Toto, was also very helpless, after all, in addition to the military, Tokhtar was still busy with government affairs.
The Jialuzhihe River is in the critical stage of completion, but there are still many project payments that have not been settled, and even if the head of the household department has been replaced several times in succession, there is nothing to be done about the treasury that has long been unable to make ends meet.
In the past, it would have been possible to find some way to make the provinces raise some taxes, but now that the red turban thieves are making trouble, no one dares to take the responsibility of causing more people to rebel.
What's more, at this juncture, Timur is also leading the army to encircle and suppress Liu Futong, the soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, and the military households can still barely be self-sufficient when they do not go to the army.
In order to let his younger brother who went to war have no worries, Tokhtar has obviously made a desperate bet, using his power to the extreme, and exhausting all the methods he has come up with.
Fang Guozhen of eastern Zhejiang accepted the canonization of the imperial court on the face, and was no longer excessively embarrassed by the sea, but in fact, he was watching the fire from the other side of the East China Sea, just waiting for the Yuan army and the Red Turban army to lose both sides and wait for the opportunity to move, and strive for some real benefits for themselves.
After Taibuhua moved to Taizhou Ludaru Huachi, the vigilance of Fang Guozhen was even worse than before, and the coastal areas under his rule were strictly guarded, and there was a rare calm on the east coast of Zhejiang for a time.
Tie Niu had already led his troops back to Runing from Shangcai, Liu Futong learned that Han Yan'er was sad and hated Du Zundao after what Shangcai did, and he only hated that he didn't kill the dog thief directly at the beginning, and he was more and more convinced that he was the real murderer who harmed Han Shantong.
Although the mood was urgent, Zhu Gao, Gushi and other places were in a hurry one after another, and it was really difficult to divide troops to rescue Shang Cai, so he could only watch this Mingjiao patriarch die generously.
"I really don't know where this Master Dong jumped out of nowhere, obviously he is Han, but he still wants to help that group of thieves to crusade against us!" Iron Bull grunted wryly.
The old man Dong in his mouth is Dong Junxiao, although he was implicated in the demotion of Kang Liwei and was ordered out of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, but because of his self-denial and public service, his political achievements are very outstanding, and he has been transferred to the head of Jining Road.
After the Henan Red Turban Army became popular, he was ordered to recruit Liu Futong from Pingzhang in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, because he always liked to shout "I am Master Dong" when the two armies were fighting against each other, and had this title among the military and civilians.
This old opponent of the Ming Sect was different from other Yuan court officers, he was not merciless in dealing with the Red Turban Army, and he used frequent methods, and he attacked Liu Futong and others with his men and horses, which annoyed Liu Futong and others.
"My Mingjiao has been running Zhu Gao and other places for many years, not to mention an iron bucket, but he also sent heavy troops to defend it, but he almost captured Zhu Gao with only a little bit of men and horses from his headquarters, which shows that this person does have some ability." Liu Futong obviously also has a headache for this old man Dong, who is both civil and military.
"It has always been the thief in the light, we are in the dark, where have we suffered such a loss? This is good, now these methods have been learned by this surnamed Dong, and they have been elusive. Not long ago, we just recruited a group of bandits to attack us, and now we have persuaded the people of a county to return to the Yuan Court, and it is not a way to go on like this! "Tie Niu has also fought with Dong Junxiao on the side, and he knows his tricks.
"What's the use of being in a hurry?" Liu Futong reprimanded lightly.
"The Xu Shouhui who was raised by Peng Yingyu in the south has become the emperor of the end of the shit, and all the good things have been preempted by others, but we can't even see King Xiaoming's face now, can I not be in a hurry?" There are no outsiders at the moment, and Tie Niu never sees Liu Futong, and directly repeats the nagging in his heart.
"Emperor Tianwan? It's just a nice name. Liu Futong looked down on Xu Shouhui from the bottom of his heart.
"Why didn't it work? Look at the people under Xu Shouhui, now Monk Peng is the national teacher, Zou Blacksmith is the Taishi, and even that Ni Manzi has become the generalissimo who commands the three armies. But what about us? I can only be a watchdog here for the surname Du! ”
"Shut up!"
Liu Futong was furious when he heard this, rushed over and slapped Tie Niu a few times, pointed at his nose and scolded: "If you are red and those false names, get out of here and go to Xu Shouhui!" What do you call being a watchdog for someone surnamed Du? Isn't our Mingjiao uprising for the people of the world? Brother Han died tragically, Lin Er was in prison, Han Yan'er lost an arm and was still able to take the head of the enemy general, you are standing here dignified without missing arms and eyes, are you qualified to say these words! ”
I don't know if Liu Futong slapped him too hard, or Tie Niu was scolded too ashamed, his dark face was a little red at this time.
"Brother Liu, you are angry, I am also in a hurry to say some nonsense......" Tie Niu, who killed people on the battlefield without blinking, actually recognized his mistake like a child at this moment, and the thunder sound like the roar of Kui Niu on weekdays became inaudible.
It was also at this moment that he remembered that it was Liu Futong who was standing beside him and giving orders, not his brother Wen Xuan.
Liu Futong glanced at him and continued: "Although we are falling behind now, it is Du Zundao who should be more anxious now." ”
"Why is that?" Iron Bull asked.
Liu Futong snorted lightly and sneered: "This dog thief has been carefully planning for so long, and he doesn't want to be high in the future?" Now that Xu Shouhui has preemptively become the emperor, he may not know how red Du Zundao is. ”
