Chapter 237: Re-determination 4
With the announcements and loud announcements issued by the rebels along the street, the city of Jiaozhou soon became lively again.
In addition to the palace hall of the Metropolitan Protectorate and the envoy of the Jinghai Festival, a high platform was erected and a solemn incense case was placed; In addition to the rebel generals standing in an array under the stage, the city sergeants and ordinary people who heard the news everywhere also filled the surrounding streets.
"Look, this is the pattern of the Lord of the Righteous Army. This is what it looks like to be on stage to pay homage. ”
In a nearby pavilion, an old man in casual clothes was also talking to his companion's stains.
"What kind of rebel army leader, what ghost monk, what Shura monk, the name is loud, but in the face of fame, fortune and power, it is just that."
"I thought that even if he had this thought, it would take some time to gather his subordinates and pave the way, don't you want to be so confident and impatient."
"It's still a good plan for Gong Wei. Otherwise, how can there be such a result?"
Someone next to him suddenly exclaimed.
"Jiaozhou is the hometown where we have lived for generations, and it is not just a foreigner who can be wantonly touched."
The old man known as Wei Gong also said proudly.
"Regardless of whether it is the Zeng family in the past or the virtual person now, isn't it a general truth;"
"That's it. It is.. ”
A voice hurriedly responded.
"When they were invited, it was just a temporary stopgap measure. Besides, if there is no such virtuous hope as we wait to run in the middle and respond, do you still want to easily take the city and succeed? ”
"Now that the turmoil has been removed, this generation does not think about how to retire successfully, and it is enough to return it as soon as possible; He even ungrateful colluded with those ignorant local tyrants, wanting to make up his mind with the gentry in the city. ”
"It's going to the army again, it's selling armor again, it's apportionment and contribution, and it's also checking the hidden doors. Although the means seem to be less violent than Zeng's, in the long run, they are more than Zeng's plan. ”
"This grass thief is a grass thief, and he can't change the contemptible rat's eyes and the following offenses, and the backbone of the cheap."
A man interjected hatefully.
"What's even more hateful is that the Qu clan and the like are actually blatant, it's just a feud from the broken family, can't they take care of the hard-won good situation now?"
Another person complained.
"Aren't you afraid of stinking for 10,000 years?"
"Enough old Mo, don't say anything about thieves and thieves, don't we continue to deal with it."
Wei Gong suddenly shouted.
"You must know, no matter which one of them is protected, you don't have to discuss local affairs with me and other good students."
"Do you think it's great to have a knife in your hand, but I don't know who these knives will listen to in time."
"But don't be happy too early, this guy still has some henchmen and wings, and he has defeated the barbarians and the official army, once it is disturbed in the city, it is far from being comparable to the Zeng family's vain head and feet."
As he spoke, he sternly glanced around at the various people around him, including his close allies, subordinates, vassals, and one of his early covert hands.
"Isn't it enough that you have learned a lesson from the Zeng family?"
"At least when he takes over the name of the capital, and he really has a dislike and disagreement with the left-behind grass thieves at the end of Guangfu, so that my generation can operate from it."
"No matter how strong the martial arts of this generation are, it is also an external way, once the hearts of the people under his command are scattered and they do it chaotically; I have to rely on our strength. That's the most important thing in the whole picture. ”
"Of course, we start with what we do best."
At this time, there were several roars from the high platform in front of the government in the distance, which startled the crowd into an uproar, and then it turned into a shout one after another.
"All protection. Jin An. ”
"All protection. Blessed be ... ”
"The Yellow King... Hooray. ”
"Wang Ba... Three years ... ”
"That's it."
Everyone couldn't help but relax their expressions, and then they could justifiably install their cronies and henchmen into the newly opened capital palace in the name of recommendation.
"It's time for me to prepare the banquet and the female music, and congratulate the Lord Protector."
"Home. . . Family.. Family.. Host.. Oh no. ”
At this time, a family member who was a little flustered ran from downstairs to report the news
"That... That.. Which one invited the Yellow King to the north on the stage, and respected him as the new protector of Annan, and the right to make the Jinghai Festival envoy. ”
"What..."
。。。。。。。。。。
"There's something wrong with me."
Zhou Huai'an, who was standing on the high platform and completed a series of sacrifices and worships, also smiled at the subordinates who gathered around him with different expressions.
"What you want can only be fought for by your own means, and I don't like to rely on others for charity and giving."
"So this honor, I can only respectfully ask the old man Huang Wang to receive one or two on his behalf."
After all, what are you kidding, as a lesson learned by later generations for thousands of years, how can you not know the importance of matching the name and strength; The strength is not enough to rely on the name alone to support the scene, which is the result of being kidnapped by someone to take advantage of the situation to kidnap the interests of a certain party, and gradually being hollowed out; What happened to Shi Yan and what happened to Zeng Gon is the best way to do things.
Moreover, once he accepts this big and inappropriate name, how should he deal with his identity and position in the righteous army; How to justify the set of theories and the main purpose that I have been preaching; Is it possible to fight yourself for the sake of personal power and fame?
Besides, the name they need is not something that they have to be weaker and even rely on the snort of others; Where is the name of the real sword and real gun that is more deserved.
In fact, when the rumor was in turmoil in the market because of the conflict of disagreement, Zhou Huaian also got the corresponding basic news, but he sighed and felt deeply;
Is this the backlash and the latest means of countering the gentry class in Jiaozhou City who were suppressed by the rebels? Just using a rumor of persuasion to make the minds of the rebels under his command fluctuate and be chaotic, and there were many contradictions and conflicts, and there were even faint signs of cracks.
It's just that they are obviously a serious conspiracy of Fengwen Yue, at least on the bright side, they can only be said to have slapped their ass crookedly or admitted their wrong feelings; It's really not suitable for a simple and rude backlash, which hurts the earnest heart of the persuasion of the "Jiaozhou Shimin" on the surface, and the people who fall into revenge or unsympathetic handles.
However, this is certainly a test of his own strength and pattern, but it is not an opportunity for the rebels under his command to purify themselves again. At least under this litmus test of seeming allure and possibility, those who dance more happily are exposed by this; And with their social relationships as clues, those who are not firm enough or half-hearted within the army can also appear in their field of vision.
Although the rebels under his leadership had their own rules and could not be punished without teaching, they used unpredictable mysticism to deter or anger and terror to maintain the authority and control of the superiors; But at the very least, they can be properly adjusted and continued to be reinvented, so that they can be watered down and disposed of before a similar presence takes its place in its place and causes more negative effects and harms.
Of course, as a modern person who draws inferences from one another, "eat the sugar coating, throw the cannonball back", in the end, he did not waste this opportunity to persuade forward; Instead, after considering many examples from the past and present, he gave this somewhat large and inappropriate title to Huang Chao, the lord of the righteous army who was leading the endless war in the north; Then, in turn, he proclaimed himself the ambassador of Annan Yingtian, and the title of the right to serve as the town guard of Jiaozhou is even more deserved.
Of course, this also made those subordinates and the local representatives who came to recommend them a little breathtaking, and they sighed that "they can still operate so unexpectedly, and they are worthy of being heroic figures who swept away the Southern Barbarians".
"In addition, I plan to learn from the ancients to erect inscriptions. In the name of this teacher. ”
Zhou Huai'an announced again.
"That's very good."
"This is natural."
"That's what the leader says."
There was only a pandering voice on the left and right that was not surprising but submissive.
"In addition to the inscription of the record and the annotated poems."
Zhou Huai'an continued
"I also plan to set up a shrine between the nearby mountain walls, and write the names of all the fallen soldiers on it, so as to enjoy the incense of the next generation."
"What..."
This was like a big stone falling into boiling soup and causing an uproar, and even the leaders of the armed forces who were present at the ceremony were a little excited to get up.
"Even if it is those native soldiers and regimental training children, or local soldiers, as long as they have contributed to it, it is no exception."
"It can be a strong man, or it can be a martyr, or it can be a temperament. Take Zhang Zhen table. ”
In fact, this is just the cost of building a stone monument and carving a cliff; In later generations, it is just a list of fundraising and repair public welfare undertakings. However, regardless of the nobility of Li Shu in Jiaozhou City, the response was particularly strong, and various statements on the spot claiming to give money, goods, and people were particularly enthusiastic.
Because this is also a disguised means of bondage, from the level of morality and righteousness, these local forces in Annam are forcibly tied to the righteous and upright conspiracy of the rebel camp represented by Zhou Huai'an.
After all, no one would refuse or diswant themselves and their families to leave a name behind them and even enjoy the possibility of incense sacrifices, and as the initiator and leader of all this, Zhou Huai'an will also be closely associated with their fame and legend.
And those who dare to refuse all this, or obstruct it, will undoubtedly become the target of spurning by the people under the command of thousands of people. For those who are secretly calculating themselves, this can be regarded as an indirect countermeasure to encircle Wei and save Zhao.
However, Zhou Huai'an actually underestimated the degree of reaction to this kind of thing by most people in this era.
