Chapter Eighty-Four: The Nobles' Reaction

Three days later, Ji Shengqing and Jia Tianxiang led an infantry brigade of nearly 1,000 people south to Fuzhou Mansion, while Qian Buli took Du Bing, Wang Rui and Ren Shuai to stay in Luling. Although Ji Shengqing was reluctant in every way, the situation dictated that she still had to leave Qian without leaving.

According to Qian Buli's strategic concept, Luling County is the most important strategic location, if there is really a war, he will use the expected Turkish army to constantly harass and attack his opponent in the Nanling, which is the first line of defense; Wait until the enemy army passes the plank road, then the Luling Plain, which is located near the Nanling Ridge, is not big or small, will become the place of decisive battle, as long as the Turkish army successfully harasses and strikes the enemy army, Qian Buli believes that the opponent can be defeated in the decisive battle; If the harassment is unsuccessful or the enemy army is strong, then after launching a blocking battle on the plain aimed at depleting the opponent's strength, Qian Buli will lead the army to retreat to the hills one after another, carry out guerrilla warfare, and look for opportunities to annihilate the enemy's living forces in the movement.

Qian Buli, who has comprehended a little guerrilla essence from the experience of the great leader, has this self-confidence, as long as the difference in strength between the two sides is not too great, he is not afraid of any opponent!

It is precisely because of this that from the very beginning, Qian Buli regarded Luling County as an abandoned land, and the first element of guerrilla warfare was that it could not be defended and flexible, so Qian Buli had already collected all the money and property in the official treasury of Luling County and handed it over to Jia Tianxiang to take to Fuzhou Mansion, leaving only grain and grass, as for the taxes that should be handed over to the cabinet. To hell with it! By the end of the year, Luling County had already become war-torn!

After bidding farewell to Ji Shengqing and Jia Tianxiang, after Qian Buli returned to the barracks, he immediately ordered to start the devil training he had planned for a long time, whether it was cavalry or infantry, they must participate in his training! Among them, the most distressing thing for the soldiers is the so-called load-bearing off-road, the soldiers of this world can't understand why they carry stones on their backs like fools, running around, but the prestige of money is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and no one in the whole army dares to disobey and doubt the order of money is not leaving.

Meng Tietou, Meng Ji, and Ruan Huwa were also sent out by Qian Buli to wander around the nearby villages to recruit those young Tu people who were dissatisfied with reality and were strong, although Qian Buli was going to take the route of elite soldiers, but only 3,000 people were far from enough.

And under the planning of a well-intentioned person, a rumor is spreading in Fuzhou that the current prince Ji Shenglie is not the biological son of King Ji Ruofa, but the queen was born by an affair with the imperial general Wei Chi Fengyun, his real name is Yu Chi Shenglie... The queen and several other people colluded together, delusionally trying to poison Ji Ruofa and steal the country of Ji Zhou!

What kind of lies are the hardest to debunk? That is to mix the truth with the falsehood, and the same is true of rumors! Even if no one believes it now, once the news of Ji Ruofa's death comes out, no one can't help but believe it!

After the soldiers heard this rumor, they were a little panicked in their hearts, and the lower-level generals hurriedly reported the rumor, but after Qian Buli heard the report, he just smiled faintly and did not do anything to deal with it.

The reaction of the various nobles in Luling County was quite fierce, and they even jointly sent representatives to exert pressure on Zhu Qunyi, demanding that Zhu Qunyi quickly find out the people who spread rumors everywhere and stifle the rumors that slandered the royal family, otherwise they would report to the cabinet.

Zhu Qunyi didn't dare to be arbitrary, found Qian Buli, and wanted Qian Buli to give an order to track down the source of the rumors, but was driven away by Qian Buli's scolding.

There were seventeen noble families in Luling County, and of course, those who were assigned to such remote places were all inconspicuous little nobles, among whom were five barons, and the rest were knights. Except for the six nobles who just wanted to live their lives in peace, a total of eleven nobles united to find a military camp where money could not be separated.

To be precise, this is a confrontation between sheep and wolves, and human brain power cannot be superimposed according to the number of people. Qian Buli first deliberately left the eleven nobles outside the barracks for a long time, and when they were impatient, he sent someone to invite them to the tent.

In the face of the generous statements of the nobles, Qian Buli was as indignant as the other party, although there was a baron who was very dissatisfied with Qian Buli in his attitude because he had waited too long, but in the end, Qian Buli was still very generous and did not care.

In the handsome account, Qian Buli decided on the spot that this kind of rumor slandering the royal family would never be tolerated, and he would send an army to arrest all the suspicious elements! At the same time, Qian Buli asked the nobles to also work hand in hand with him, not only to send their families to assist in the large-scale raid, but also to release their eyes and ears to guard against possible civil unrest due to the large-scale raid.

The nobles were overjoyed and hurriedly agreed to the request that the money would not leave, which was a good opportunity! In the past, their greedy hands could never stretch out their fiefdoms, whether they beat people, killed people, or robbed them, as long as they could find a reason and report it to the government, the principals of the government were not qualified to hold the nobles responsible; But if they arrest and beat people outside the fiefdom, it will violate the law of Ji Zhouguo, and if the matter is big, their titles may not be kept.

This is the law formulated by the founding monarch of the Ji Zhou Kingdom, which was originally intended to reconcile the contradictions between the privileged class and the commoner class, if the nobleman's behavior was too vicious, the commoners in his fief could escape from the fief and continue to live in another place, this law forced the nobles to use generous rules and benevolent gestures to attract commoners to settle in his fiefdom in order to ensure their own sources of taxation.

However, the founding monarch of Ji Zhou forgot one thing, anything soaked in the long river of time will ferment! The nobles, large and small, had their own slaves, and the longer the time, the more slaves were born in the family, and two hundred years ago, the nobles invariably began a campaign to expel the commoners in the fiefdom, although the commoners were cheap labor, but the slaves were cheaper.

The nobles were overjoyed, and after hastily agreeing on some details with Qian Buli, they left the barracks in a swarm, and the so-called search for suspicious elements was a good opportunity for them to extort! The nobles all went back to arrange it in a hurry, and no one noticed the sinister smile that appeared at the corner of Qian Buli's mouth.
