Chapter 2 Winning the Championship (2 II)
Winning the championship (2 times)
After the Dou Jiajun occupied the counties in southern Hebei, they vigorously rectified the local order. (pm) Bandits were recruited or exterminated, so the roads were quite smooth. Seven days after the letter to Cheng Mingzhen was sent, Dou Jiande received a reply from the other party. In the letter, Cheng Mingzhen first expressed his respect to the lord with the courtesy of a courtier, and then told Dou Jiande that Xiangguo County had good weather and good summer grain this year. Each Tuntian site will be able to stand on its own next year and will no longer need government support. In particular, those villages that began to settle fields three years ago will be able to pay grain to the local government this year according to the original agreement. Although it is only one-tenth of the people's harvest, the sum of all the tuntian points is also a large amount. After deducting the daily expenses of officials and county soldiers, there will be a surplus.
In addition, because Dou Jiajun currently maintains friendly relations with Liyang Xu Maogong, Bowang Wang Deren, Boling Li Zhongjian, Youzhou Luo Yi and others, the North Canal waterway has been restored to unimpeded. The merchant's cargo ships could start at Liyang on the north bank of the Yellow River and head north to Jixian under Luo Yi. Xiangguo County has benefited from this, and the streets are becoming more and more prosperous. In the first half of this year, the yamen of the city administration in Ping'en County received more than 400 yuan in municipal taxes, or 400,000 yuan. If there is no major war in the second half of the year, as in the first half, tax revenues may be doubled.
The summer grain and copper coins collected are now put into storage, and only 20% of them are retained in Xiangguo County. The remaining eighty percent, after the autumn grain is collected, can be sent to escort it to the place designated by Prince Dou. Cheng Mingzhen is intellectually reckless and has average ability. I can't charge for Prince Dou, so I have to make a modest effort in preparing materials, hoping that Lord Dou will smile and accept Yunyun.
After reporting on the local affairs, Cheng Mingzhen began to answer Dou Jiande's questions. From his point of view, Yang Guang's death means the real beginning of the era of the heroes. With the current situation, it is not clear who is sure of victory. Looking at the heroes in the world, the largest and most powerful person is none other than Li Yuan's uncle and nephew. But the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will urge it. Revealing strength too early is not necessarily a good thing. If he is forced to join forces, no matter how strong Li Yuan is, he will probably suffer a major setback. Moreover, the strongest military in front of him is not the Li Jiajun, but Wagangzhai. If Li Mi can completely pinch the various factions within Wagang together, with famous generals such as Qin Shubao, Luo Shixin, and Cheng Zhijie, there will be almost no one to be the front of the Wagang army. But Li Mi has the talent of an overlord, but he has no room for others. The prosperity of the Wagang Army must have been only a momentary bustle, and sooner or later it would be destroyed because of Li Mi's rigidity and narrow-mindedness.
In addition to the above two strong, the strength of the rest of the heroes is almost the same. The Dou family army is slightly stronger than them, but the army has been formed for too short a time, and the foundation is still weak. If we can maintain the current policy, streamline the administration of the army, open the door to recruit talents, and at the same time recuperate and make peace with the people, within a few years, we will surely soar to the sky.
Therefore, Cheng Mingzhen suggested that Dou Wang Ye should not be too anxious. You might as well take a closer look at the world with static braking and patience. When the time is ripe, he will make a decisive move, and win the Kyushu Juding in one fell swoop
"This kid, hey, it's still that virtue!" After reading Cheng Mingzhen's letter, Dou Jiande shook his head and commented with a wry smile. He agrees with most of the content of the letter, and appreciates Cheng Mingzhen's unique analysis of the general trend in the world. But about the view of static braking, Dou Jiande did not agree. Opportunities are often fleeting, and if they are missed, they will never be regained. By the time you've grown your wings strong, you'll already be chasing after them.
But Cheng Mingzhen's views in the letter were not unexpected by Dou Jiande. In the heart of Dou Wangye, Cheng Mingzhen has long been given an eight-character comment of "more than enough to be successful, not enough to be enterprising", if Cheng Mingzhen can say something in his mouth, "It's not as good as a tiger, it's better to be a tiger", it really makes people doubt whether his words are sincere.
In addition, Dou Jiande was very happy that Tuntian's strategy had achieved results so quickly. Although those Tuntian points that could already bear taxes were established before the Dou Zhou battalion was incorporated into the Dou family's army, it proved that the policy of "Tuntian to support the people" was feasible. It is a long process to win the championship, and through the "Tuntian to raise the people", the counties of Hebei will surely become the capital of the Dou family's army.
Unexpected, it was indeed unexpected, but Dou Jiande still felt a little lost. In the letter to Cheng Mingzhen, he did not mention his plan to move his troops north. Judging from the words in Cheng Mingzhen's reply, after this son knew about this plan, he would definitely oppose it. Song Zhengben, Wang Fubao, Cheng Mingzhen, the three of them together, but they can represent a large number of people within the Dou family's army, and Dou Jiande has to think carefully. However, the wealth of the six counties of Boling and the strategic position for Dou Jiajun were clearly there, as if a ball of sweet honey was scattered, repeatedly tempting Dou Jiande, 'Come and eat, come and eat, you can swallow me in one bite', at the same time, the wild bees guarding the honey were busy in a very distant place, and they didn't have time to rush back.
After thinking about it, Dou Jiande still decided to stick to his established plan. At the same time, for the sake of insurance, he asked Kong Deshao to write a letter to Li Mi in his own name, and between words, he praised the other party fiercely. thinks that the other party is the destiny of heaven, and everyone expects it, and sooner or later he will build a career like Zhou Gong and Zhao Gong. At the same time, Dou Jiajun also hopes to have a deeper relationship with Wagang Jun and make a relationship with each other as brothers. When one family is in trouble, the other family is not hesitant to help. At the end of the letter, Kong Deshao's later disciples faintly mentioned that after Li Laofei captured Chang'an, he eradicated the traitors, released the palace maids, and dispersed the wealth in Yang Guangxing's palace to the people.
The words of this letter were very deferential, as if he had put himself in the position of Li Mi's junior. Dou Jiande read it himself, and his face immediately turned red like a jujube. But he still used the seal on the letter very happily, and then found a Confucian scholar who was both famous and able to speak the Tao as an envoy, and carried it to Wagang.
After Li Mi received the letter, he laughed. He didn't expect Dou Jiande to be such an interesting person, and he would rush to the door to pat his ass. However, how could Dou Jiande's little caution contained in the letter be hidden from his torch insight? After calling the messenger to the post house to rest in a few words, Li Mi immediately put away his smile and ordered someone to find his secretary Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng returned to Wagang with the Wuyang County Shouyuan Treasure and the Jijun Taishou Zhang Wenqi. After Xu Maogong went north to take over Jijun and Liyangcang, in order to prevent Li Mi from planting eyeliner by his side, he simply "gifted" Yuan Baobao and Zhang Wenqi together with their subordinates to the old camp in Wagangzhai. Li Mixin gained large territories such as Beihai and Qi County, and there was a shortage of cadres under his rule. Therefore, Yuan Baobao and Zhang Wenqi were quickly appointed and asked to govern a county for themselves. But because he admired Wei Zheng's literary brilliance, he left him alone as the secretary.
When he first arrived, he was entrusted with an important task, and Wei Zheng also knew his kindness to Li Mi. Whenever the other party asks, we will do our best to plan for them. Sometimes the two disagreed, and Wei Zheng would rather make Li Mi unhappy than force the other party to adopt his own suggestions. Therefore, Li Mi's feeling for Wei Zheng in his heart was both respect and disgust, respect for his extraordinary ability and vision, disgusted that he was unwilling to obey himself, and refused to save face for himself in front of everyone. But when he encounters something difficult, he still likes to call Wei Zheng to his side and ask one or two questions in private.
After carefully reading Dou Jiande's letter, Wei Zheng frowned, and was still silent after a long time.
"The strategy of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf, didn't Xuan Cheng see it?" Li Mi felt very strange, glanced at Wei Zheng, and reminded with a smile.
Wei Zheng bowed slightly, his brows still tightened, "The meaning that Dou Jiande wants to express is obvious, it is nothing more than wanting to use the strength of the Wagang Army to deal with Li Yuan's uncle and nephew together." If the minister's expectations are not bad, at the latest, before the frost falls, Dou Jiande will definitely wave his army north and seize Boling, Shanggu and other places. ”
"How do you know he's plotting against Boling?" Li Mi was taken aback, and the scars on his face were all gathered together, and his eyes were very hideous. The scars on his face were all given by Li Zhongjian, the chief administrator of Boling. Therefore, I can't wait to peel the other party's skin and knock it out. If Dou Jiandeming said that he wanted to deal with Li Zhongjian, no matter what method he adopted, the Wagang Army should help him.
"It's very simple, if you don't get rid of your worries, Dou Jiande won't be able to go south with all your strength and compete with the heroes for the world!" Wei Zheng nodded and talked eloquently. He is very different from him in Wuyang County earlier. The changes are so great that they can almost be described as "reborn". If he was still a fledgling grass chicken in Wuyang County, at this moment, he is like an iron-winged goshawk, and he can fight Tianyu with a wave of his arms.
"Why this fall?" Li Mi thought about it and felt that what Wei Zheng said was very reasonable, but he was still skeptical.
"The lord can take a closer look at the traces of Dou Jiande's beginnings, almost every time he grows, it is with the help of the great changes in the times. Over time, this has become a habit for Dou to act. I don't want to rely on my own strength at all, and blindly want to fish in troubled waters. Wei Zheng thought about it and explained it to Li Mi in detail.
"This guy is also a naan who has been abducted and deceived!" Li Mi pursed his lips, and cold air bubbled from his nostrils. Whether it is in terms of background or in terms of dealing with people, he doesn't look down on Dou Jiande's recklessness. That is, the Wagang army is now busy capturing Luoyang and has no time to take care of Hebei. Otherwise, going north with a partial division is enough to make Dou Jiande die without a place to be buried!
Wei Zheng shrugged his shoulders and shook his head to add. "Although that guy is vulgar, he is one of the few who is good at seizing opportunities. In the Battle of the Great Wall, Li Yuan's uncle and nephew became famous, but their strength was greatly damaged. Therefore, the best chance to deal with their uncle and nephew is in these two years. The six counties of Boling are also famously rich, and after the autumn grain was put into storage, there was a war, and Dou Jiande could just fight the enemy with grain! ”
