Chapter 387: Returning North with the Army

As soon as the soldiers outside the lobby heard the order, they rushed in and dragged Chen Zhonglian out.

"Hugh wants to spew blood, how can the old man contact the western thief!" Chen Zhonglian's cheeks flushed with anger, when did he receive such treatment, he struggled hard, but with his thin body, how could he be a wolf-like armor opponent, and he was immediately dragged out of the door like a chicken.

This made Chen Zhonglian embarrassed and indignant, and the shoes on his feet fell off, and while being dragged backwards, he shouted angrily, "The old and decrepit Chongzhen Dynasty Jinshi, with meritorious fame, how can the puppet be so rude~"

Gao Yihuan sneered in his heart, although he had many reasons to refute, but Gao Yihuan didn't plan to debate with this mouth cannon at all.

Ben Shuai has 100,000 heavy soldiers in his hands, and he has every opportunity, there is an easier way to treat you, what nonsense.

When Chen Zhonglian was an official in the imperial court, the status of the civil servants of the Ming court was much higher than that of the vulgar martial arts. Jiangdong handsome Mao Wenlong is a ruthless person, and he doesn't let Inspector Yuan kill him.

Now it is thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, Gao was born in a rogue of the people, he is used to freedom, and he is not willing to be bound by rules and regulations, Chen Zhonglian thinks that he will be bound by the rules of the Ming Dynasty, that is wrong.

If Gao Yihuan is a loyal dog and plans to eat this bowl of rice in the Ming Dynasty in the future, then he will still care about his image to the court, and strive to make himself look very well-behaved and not offend civil officials, so that the court can forget his origin, give him a bowl of rice to eat, and enjoy a chance to take care of the family.

Just doing this, how aggrieved it must be, is not Gao Yihuan's character.

The eldest husband is alive, Gao Yihuan can't stand this grievance, and he also knows that even if he does this, he won't end well.

Now he didn't think about really being loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty was also thinking about stabilizing him first and preparing to get him later. The title of a duke is still the title of a person who has been exterminated, Gao Yihuan has already seen through it, how can he be afraid of ginseng.

When the Ming Dynasty can move him, he will do it for a random reason, and when he doesn't have the strength to move, then even if he robs around like Zuo Liangyu, the court still doesn't care.

Now Gao Yihuan has basically figured out the pulse of the Ming Dynasty, as long as he does not oppose the Ming Dynasty, does not go to Wuchang, does not attack Changsha, and ensures the status quo of Huguang, the Ming Dynasty will not turn against him.

Now the predicament of the Ming Dynasty is that the imperial court has no money, and there are a group of gentry like Chen Zhonglian in the southeast, who obstruct the tax reform of the Nanjing imperial court, and the annual tax of the Nanjing imperial court is only four or five million taels.

This bit of silver can only barely maintain the operation of the imperial court, and Nanjing has no money to fight, let alone pacify Gao Yihuan.

If the Nanjing court wants to make a difference, it must first have money, and Zhu Cihong does not defeat the Donglin party and collect the wealth of Jiangnan for the use of the court, then the Nanjing court will be finished sooner or later.

At this time, seeing Chen Zhonglian being dragged away, everyone in the hall stood up in shock, looked at each other, and was dumbfounded.

This tall and handsome man dragged Chen Yushi away and put him in prison without a word, and they suddenly lost their backbone, and they were terrified.

Gao Yihuan glanced at everyone and sneered, "Ben Shuai copied out a book of accounts, which clearly recorded how much grain and grass you people sent to Sun Kewang. This is the ironclad proof that you are collaborating with the enemy! ”

It's really official, they were obviously threatened and intimidated by Sun Kewang and forced to pay the silver to help them, but now they have taken the initiative to deliver money and food.

"Dashuai, wronged!" The squires present immediately panicked.

Now they know what it means to meet a soldier in a show.

At this time, Gao Yihuan waved his hand and shouted angrily, "Down!" ”

~~~~~~

After taking Yiling, Gao Yihuan asked Dai Jinghong to lead a battalion of old soldiers, and a battalion of new soldiers to garrison Yiling Prefecture to defend Sichuan, and the army was escorted back to Jingzhou after capture.

However, because the war in Guanzhong has reached a critical moment, Gao Yihuan did not stay in Jingzhou for a long time, after the army returned to Jingzhou, the people of various departments returned north one after another, and he stayed for the time being to deal with some things.

At the end of October, unfavorable news came from Guanzhong again, and Li Zicheng was defeated in Fuping for a while.

Gao Yihuan then left Zhao Zhuzi and Chen Mingxia in Jingzhou, and he was ready to leave.

On this day, outside Jingzhou City, Gao Yihuan and a few people walked on foot, accompanied by guards and horses.

"Zhuzi, I will hand over Jingzhou to you, you must guard this place. In addition to guarding against the Western Army going out of Sichuan, we must also be vigilant against the Ming Army! Gao Yihuan said in a deep voice.

Zhao Zhuzi hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I know that I will stare at Sichuan to death, and I will also prevent crossing the river in white." ”

Gao Yihuan glanced at him approvingly, and said with a smile, "Look less at the Three Kingdoms and more at the real art of war." After speaking, Gao Yihuan continued: "You are in Jingzhou, there is still something to do." ”

Zhao Zhuzi touched his head, "If there is anything to do with the handsome, you can tell it!" ”

"Ben Shuai will order Hu Cao to allocate a sum of money to build a few boats, and you recruit some fishermen, and it doesn't take too much, about 3,000 people, to make a water camp." Gao Yihuan groaned: "We sit on the two waterways of the Yangtze River and the Han River, and we can't do without a naval army. You pay attention, there are talents in this area, and they have found and recommended them to me, and this commander will remember your credit. ”

Zhao Zhuzi nodded, "Don't worry, I know." ”

Gao Yihuan bowed slightly, and then said to Chen Mingxia on the side: "Sir, after I leave, the government affairs of Jingzhou will be entrusted to you." ”

"Dashuai can rest assured!" Chen Mingxia is colorful.

Now that Jingzhou has just been won, it has not been a year since he took it, and in recent times, he has arrested a lot of people, so he is a little worried that once he leaves, Jingzhou will rebound.

Gao Yihuan stopped and suddenly asked, "What is Mr. going to do with these arrested gentry?" ”

After Gao Yihuan detained Chen Zhonglian in Yiling, Xuanyiwei also arrested many gentry in Jingzhou, and frightened Fu Shangrui, the governor of Hubei, to close the door of the mansion, trembling, and did not dare to see the gentry again, but hoped that He Tengjiao would quickly transfer him away.

Chen Mingxia replied with a smile, "Don't worry, this matter will not expand, and it will not implicate those squires who do their duty, but those who are arrested will be severely punished for collaborating with the enemy." ”

In fact, the gentry of Huguang knew that there was no such thing as a collaborator, but Chen Mingxia still had to do this, that is, to let the gentry understand who was the master of Jingzhou, and not to try in vain to challenge the authority of Wei Wujun.

Gao Yihuan is not a good person, he nodded, "Okay, this matter will be handled by Mr." ”

Chen Mingxia took the order first, and then said: "Dashuai, now the hearts of the Ming Dynasty have not been lost, and the gentry are mostly on the side of the Ming Dynasty, so there is no need for Dashuai to curry favor with them in terms of policy." The humble position thinks that the marshal is first of all to accept the heart of the soldiers, followed by the heart of the people, and finally the heart of the gentry. Sun Kewang's tax policy, we continue to use, we can't let the people experience the favor of the marshal, it is really not appropriate, but we can't give benefits to the gentry, but should give benefits to the people. Huguang is not like the southeast, there are so many gentry, as long as the people support, the foundation of the handsome will be stable! And when the foundation of the handsome is stable and can achieve great things, there will naturally be all kinds of talents willing to take refuge. ”

After Gao Yihuan heard what he said, he was much more relieved about Jingzhou, "Mr. can do everything in Jingzhou." Okay, you don't have to send it, Ben Shuai is leaving~"
