Chapter 475: Cowardice
On the banks of the big river, a painting boat sways lightly with the waves. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wang Gongzhi sat in the boat, while sipping the Yuhua tea brewed by the national teacher, while telling about the situation in Wuchang Mansion in the past two days.
"Nowadays, those scholars are all defending the cult for their own interests, oppressing the people, and so bold that they increase taxes privately, and they also falsely claim that they are investing in military salaries for the sake of peace, which is simply a big joke in the world."
Dong Ce has been listening and has not said anything, because these things are normal in his opinion, people like Wang Gongzhi are rare breeds, and he dare not say that there is no second one in the world, but in the entire Daning Hundred Mansion Orders, there are absolutely no three!
In ancient officialdom, it was the official who would oppress the people, otherwise what kind of official would you be?
Talking about ideals and ambitions, that is what only idle talents will do, even if they become officials, the first idea is to help the clansmen, so that their whole family can enjoy the envy of others, but this requires money, nepotism, and it will change its taste.
But they are right, people don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves, why should people help you, a person who has nothing to do with it?
Therefore, Dong Ce didn't feel the slightest feeling about Wang Gongzhi's words, if he was replaced by those unambitious young talents in the world, he would definitely have the same hatred as Wang Gongzhi, but such a person, would Wang Gongzhi talk nonsense with them?
"Alas, as soon as the news of the old decay's death comes out, I don't know what will become of Wuchang Mansion?" Wang Gongzhi said in the end, his mood was extremely complicated!
He is a good official, but he also has selfish intentions, he does not seek to be famous through the ages, but he wants to make everything he has done for Yingzhou to be remembered by the people, grateful and moved, and it is not in vain to have a good story to be passed down from generation to generation!
"By the way, what the national teacher will do next, can you tell the old man now?" In the end, Wang Gongzhi suddenly asked Dong Ce.
Dong Ce said bluntly: "Zhao'an." ”
"Recruit ...... Zhao'an? Wang Gongzhi repeated in disbelief.
"Hmm." Dong Ce picked up the teacup and answered.
Wang Gongzhi couldn't help but ask again: "Which party is Zhao'an?" Shanhe Society? ”
After Dong Ce drank it all, he put down the teacup and said, "Hmm." ”
"However, there is a ...... between the national teacher and the Shanhe Society" Wang Gongzhi deliberately said this, and it is expected that Dong Ce should also understand.
"It's not the Shanhe Society, it's the Wei family, this is very important!" After Dong Ce finished speaking, Wang Gongzhi suddenly woke up.
The Shanhe Society is indeed the Wei family, but not everyone wants to work for him, otherwise why would the Shanhe Society have a hereditary pavilion master.
As long as they are provided with a good environment, greater power, and interests, why should they go against the imperial court?
"As long as the Shanhe Society and the Five Fire Hall fight, they will soon find that no matter how big the earth snake is, there is a behemoth that cannot be swallowed, perhaps, they know who this behemoth is, but the clearer they are, the more they want to fight, if they don't fight, they will be swallowed up, so they have two choices, first, to help the abuse, and second, to submit to the imperial court."
"But what if they win?" Wang Gongzhi frowned.
"Win? Kill him Wuhuo Tang won 1,800 wins, just tactics, not strategy, you have to figure this out, Shanhe Society and Wuhuotang are not playing the same game, the impact of winning or losing on Wuhuotang is just a little more time, and when Wuhuotang really makes a force, Shanhe Club will definitely consider two options! Saying that, Dong Ce poured himself a drink, and said, "Of course, he still has a road, an old road." ”
"Alas!" Wang Gongzhi's words to Dong Ce are like the sentence "It's not a game", you can only understand a little bit!
Dong Ce didn't give Wang Gongzhi the idea of detailing, but talked about the plan for the future.
"The protracted war is about to start, all we have to do is to grasp the intelligence, find out the true strength of the Shanhe Society, how many warriors are helping, who are these warriors, and what is their strength? In addition, there is also the situation of the Five Flames, so only by mastering these can we make the next plan. ”
"Oh." After Wang Gongzhi nodded, he suddenly seemed to think of something, and immediately worried: "By the way, Lao Yu has already informed the Shanhe Society of your identity according to the instructions of the national teacher, and since then, Lao Yu has been worried about whether they will take it seriously!" ”
"It's okay, I'm a person who is looked down upon." Dong Ce smiled lightly.
Wang Gongzhi was embarrassed, thinking to himself, what is this called? Who dares to look down on you?
Dong Ce didn't seem to notice his expression, and said with a smile: "A person of about twenty has an unknown number of high-ranking people behind him, who can afford such a person?" No matter what he does, the first thing others feel is that it has nothing to do with you, but the superior behind you. ”
Wang Gongzhi frowned, secretly thinking that he had such an idea before, but it was only after observing Dong Ce's meeting with the people of the Sixth National Security Court that he realized that he had underestimated the rumored young man!
Now, Dong Ce has single-handedly changed the current situation in Yingzhou and played the Shanhe Society around, which shows the high level of his means.
It can also be seen that if you don't contact and work with Dong Ce, outsiders will definitely despise him, look down on him, and look down on him as Dong Ce said.
After Wang Gongzhi figured these things out, he also understood why Dong Ce asked him to remind Shanhe Society what the purpose of his trip was.
It's just the other way around, telling Shanhe Society that Yanjiao has become a state religion, and can you use tricks to deal with you?
"High, really high!" Wang Gongzhi admired.
"This is only temporary, when the people they sent to the capital to investigate come back, they will definitely identify me, but there is no turning back."
When Wang Gongzhi heard this, his mood was as complicated as human nature!
How can a person be so bad?
If you play with others, you will play, and you will tell others that you have been played!
"At that time, they will be angry and directly rebel, how can it be good?" Wang Gongzhi finally couldn't help but say it.
"Then let the catastrophe of the mountains and rivers of that year be staged again." The Shanhe Society can see through the urine of the Shi clan, doesn't Dong Ce know?
But at this moment, Zhao Hanguang suddenly jumped on the painting boat and rushed in to report: "The big thing is not good, the Shanhe Society suddenly attacked the Bian family's mansion!" ”
"What!" Wang Gongzhi was shocked.
Dong Ce frowned and said, "The Bian family is joining forces with the Five Fire Hall?" ”
"The subordinates don't know about this matter, everything is too sudden, and it's too late to investigate, but Shanhe Society and the Bian family have always had private dealings." When Zhao Hanguang said this, Wang Gongzhi immediately added: "That's the case, the Shanhe Society often sells strong men to the Bian family, and the Bian family uses these people to open up wasteland everywhere, I also strongly supported them at the beginning, but later found that they are too inhumane, not only have no wages, but also can't eat, one or two people are tired to death a month, and more than seventeen or eighteen, but it's a pity that I didn't wait for me to collect enough evidence, I received an order, alas! ”
Zhao Hanguang continued: "And the origin of these strong men, we only found out that most of them are Miao people. ”
Wang Gongzhi sighed: "Alas, if you let those barbarian leaders know, it is indispensable to see each other with swords and soldiers, and the blood stains the green mountains......"
From Wang Gongzhi's words, it is not difficult for Dong Ce to guess that such things seem to have happened a lot!
However, this is the case for generations, the Han people suppress the ethnic minorities, and in the south of Daning, after the Miao people are captured by the Han people, they are usually sold to the large families of the Shi clan as slaves, and most of the ending is to die of exhaustion, only a few people are lucky to escape, and if the Han people are captured by the Miao people, no, they really have to be killed directly!
Of these two, which one is more humane, Dong Ce is really hard to say.
Even in the history he knew, how friendly the relationship between Han and Miao was, and there was a prosperous scene of product trading, even working together, and even intermarriage early on, he still couldn't hide the contradictions between the famous clans and the disgusting faces of the traffickers behind them for profit.
This is even more rampant in Daning, and the imperial court has also repeatedly banned it, the main thing is that Ning Taizu ordered the scholars to promote slaves to tenants, and adopt the employment method, which is also equivalent to long-term labor, and you can leave if you are not happy.
But where is this more cost-effective than a slave?
Eat less, do more, don't have to give money, and don't break the law if you are killed, who doesn't want it?
Therefore, if the Han people do not succeed, some people will set their sights on ethnic minorities.
And men and women eat it all, slaves are worth a lot, and prostitutes are worth more!
After listening to Wang Gongzhi's narration, Dong Ce had a general understanding and said: "The interests of Shanhe Society and the Bian family are related, only at the business level, so the reasons why they attacked the Bian family are nothing more than two reasons, first, there are some of their slaves sold to the Bian family and they work in the Bian family's mansion, and it is easy to attack inside and outside, and second, revenge. ”
"Revenge!" The previous point, Wang Gongzhi and Zhao Hanguang both felt credible, after all, Shanhe Society had been forced to this point, and if they wanted to fight, they would naturally fight big, so that they could expand themselves as quickly as possible.
But after the second point was said by Dong Ce, the two were silent.
They are locals, how can they not know that the difficulties that Shanhe Society has encountered, and Dong Ce can know, it is still what they tell.
"There are eight scholars who have suppressed the Shanhe Society, although two were wiped out by the Five Fire Hall before, but the remaining six are not to be underestimated, they suddenly attacked the Bian family, obviously forcing the six families to join forces!" Zhao Hanguang wanted to get to the bottom of it.
"Cowardice!"
Dong Ce's one word almost made the two of them so depressed that they vomited blood!
Everyone dares to attack the largest scholar mansion in Yingzhou, do you still say cowardice?
But Dong Ce insisted on his own concept and said: "Shanhe Society is indeed cowardly!" However, otherwise, I don't know if they can still take that road, from a cult to a group of green forests, robbing houses and houses, and escaping after a vote, good scheme! ”
"But this is not a long-term solution, the old man feels that the Shanhe Society will not force itself to this step." Wang Gongzhi's words are not unreasonable, if Shanhe Society really wanted to do this, they could have done it a long time ago, why wait until now?
It's really what they want is not to fall into the grass, but to be like Taiping Dao, and even Ning Taizu!
They want to live openly and be admired.
If they officially fall into the grass now, they will undoubtedly throw away all the things they once insisted on!
Are you willing?
Wang Gongzhi didn't know, but Dong Ce told him: "I think, they really guessed the backer behind Wuhuotang, so they decided that their retreat would not be too long. ”
As long as he talked about Wuhuo Hall, Wang Gongzhi was full of doubts, but he knew that the national teacher would not say it, otherwise he would have told him a long time ago, so he avoided the topic and said: "Then, how should we deal with it?" ”
"Since he made Zhang Liangji, we naturally used the wall ladder." After Dong Ce finished speaking, he stood up and instructed Zhao Hanguang: "Inform the head of the Wei sect, gather people, and let's go and do a big vote." ”
