Chapter 220: Means of Repression
After receiving the protection of Tokhtar, Kuan Che Puhua acted more and more unscrupulously, relying on the power of his clan relatives, and ran rampant, and the officials of the Hubei Lian Visiting Division had repeatedly played his guilt to the imperial court, and in order to consolidate his position among the nobles and nobles, Tokhtar blocked these concerts for him and did not report them to the emperor.
Kuan Chepu incarnated and had six sons, named Bei Timur, Answer Timur, Bao En Nu, Reception Slave, Buddhist Slave, and Monk. At this time, only the eldest son Betimur and the second son Tatimur were beside him.
Seeing his father's sad face, Don't Timur said: "Father, the Han people have always been in turmoil all these years, and now they dare to go wild under our noses, and this time we must teach them some lessons." ”
The second replied to Timur and waved his hand: "Big brother, it's just a group of thieves, where can you get into my father's eyes?" My father was just worried that the news of the chaos would reach the ears of the emperor in Dadu. ”
Kuan Che Puhua looked at the two energetic sons, although he didn't say anything, but he was quite relieved to think that the sons had learned to share their worries, so he replied: "What you said is good, the arrogance of these Han people must be extinguished as soon as possible, and we must not let the local and imperial court officials take the opportunity to slander us because of this matter." Ordered to go down, gather men and horses, and prepare to suppress the rebels. ”
"Yes, Father." The two brothers took the order and left, wanting to make some contributions in this battle, so that they could be promoted to knighthood in the future.
In addition to the cohesion of the people and precise planning, the success of the uprisings of the rebel armies in various places was largely due to the fact that the Yuan troops and generals stationed in various places did not deal with them well.
This point can be said to have been seen from the fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty (1338 AD) when Peng Yingyu first led Zhou Ziwang and Guo Putian to launch an armed uprising in Yuanzhou.
In the fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty and then to the eighth year of the Zhizheng Dynasty (1348 AD), Fang Guozhen gathered on the sea in the past ten years, and there were many examples of civil turmoil.
In the eyes of the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty, there were no more than two ways to deal with them: one was to integrate the army and suppress them bloodily; The second is to allow the benefits of official positions to recruit security.
These two methods were fully embodied in the important year of the 11th year of Zhizheng (1351 AD).
In the past ten years, the political group headed by Emperor Zheng gradually lost its original ambition, and the emperor's evasion and connivance made the Yuan court's discipline more and more relaxed, and the official army had no combat power.
At such a moment, the Yuan court's methods of suppressing turmoil are still the same, but the rebel army that has risen up is no longer what it used to be.
As long as the local officials cut out a little profit from their fingernails and give it to the troublemakers, they can come into contact with the trouble, and thus achieve a lot of merit and political achievements.
The best use of this trick is to reach the knowledge of Ti Muer, who used coercion and temptation to recruit the ethnic minorities in Yuanzhou, Jingzhou, Liuzhou, Guiyang and other road riots when he was in charge of the political affairs of Huguang Pingzhang in the ninth year of Zhizheng, and he did a very good job.
But it is precisely because the means of recruiting an have always been easy to use, when facing Fang Guozhen, the Yuan Court suffered a big loss on him, after all, the righteous army that the Yuan Court dealt with before did not have a master like Wen Xuan sitting behind him.
On the other hand, when facing Han Shantong, Liu Futong, Peng Yingyu and other truly organized and threatening factional armies, the Yuan court would use the first move - gather regular troops and suppress them bloodily.
It's a pity that in the initial suppression of the Red Turban Army, because of the stupidity and incompetence of the generals led by He Wei, Bal Chi, Xu Zuocheng and others, the tragic situation of Asu Tiewei was almost wiped out.
After learning these lessons, although the Yuan army still did not take the Red Turban Army seriously, they also knew that they were more difficult to deal with than the people who had caused chaos in the past.
In order to deal with Liu Futong in the north, the imperial court headed by Totokh sent a luxurious lineup such as Timur, the imperial historian and the privy councilor, the king of Wei, and the pioneer Gong Buban, while Xu Shouhui and others in the south were dealt with by the king of Weishun, Kuan Che Puhua.
The reason why Xu Shouhui was able to respond to Liu Futong immediately was mostly because Peng Yingyu did her best to help.
It can be said that Xu Shouhui's descendants are only Ni Wenjun, who followed earlier, and Zou Pusheng, who defected to his subordinates, and Zou Pusheng, who supported him the most, was also Peng Yingyu's apprentice.
In this way, how to convince the public has become Xu Shouhui's biggest headache.
Peng Yingyu's order to dismiss most of the powerful disciples was also in mind, otherwise it would be difficult to control them with Xu Guardian's current strength and reputation.
People's hearts are hanging in the balance, and the way of heaven is temporarily empty.
Xu Shouhui, who was righteous, was suddenly driven to such a high position by Peng Yingyu, and his mood inevitably changed.
He knew that Peng Yingyu's disciples were very capable, but when he needed them, he would always feel a trace of doubt in their eyes, and as this feeling gradually amplified, Xu Shouhui gave birth to an inexplicable sense of crisis.
So Xu Shouhui worked hard to knock on his own little abacus, appointing Ni Wenjun as the pioneer and Zou Pusheng as the military advisor.
Let your two cronies be victorious, so that you can tell others and tell yourself that I, Xu Shouhui, am the real leader of your group.
Peng Yingyu didn't care about these fame and fortune, and saw through Xu Shouhui's careful thinking, so she simply handed over the several battles with certainty of victory to Xu Shouhui on the grounds of illness.
Peng Yingyu, who pretended to be sick, wore clean plain clothes, sat cross-legged on a vacant space, her eyes closed, and her arms naturally rested on her laps.
Since he is not holding a whisk or a rosary today, it is difficult to tell whether he is meditating in Taoist meditation or Buddhist meditation.
He was already accustomed to Master's appearance, so he lay on a big stone and asked lazily with his hands on his pillow, "Master, how long have you been pretending to be sick at this old man?" ”
Peng Yingyu opened her eyes when she heard this, and said softly, "What's the hurry?" ”
"Master, this is a heart disease, and it won't get better just to be bored here." How well does Putian know about it, he naturally knows the reason why Peng Yingyu lied about her illness.
Peng Yingyu smiled and didn't answer.
Guo Putian said tentatively: "If you are always angry with this Xu Shouhui and don't want to see him, let's go to the other juniors and disciples!" ”
In addition, Putian is best at coaxing the master to be happy, one is because of filial piety, and the other is because he is very good at figuring out people's minds.
Of course, he knew in his heart that with Master's measure, he wouldn't care about some of Xu Shouhui's tricks, but after all, Master was old, and he was worried that the old man would be chilled by this, so he made this matter a joke and had fun.
Peng Yingyu glanced at the apprentice and did not make a sound.
