Chapter Seventy-One: The Princes of Gongon

Yang Quan was stunned by Song Kuanzhi's words, he looked at Song Kuanzhi and asked, "You are older than me, I will call you Uncle Song, I don't know what you mean by this?" It stands to reason that the government is not better than a poor man like me? How do you say it is so serious? ”

Song Kuanzhi stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, signaling Yang Quan to continue walking, Yang Quan walked forward slowly, then Song Kuanzhi said, "Everyone thought that it would be better to live with the government, and when Inspector Lu left, there was still so much grain and grass left, but they didn't expect it, why did we fall to the point of refugees, in previous years, we had drought, and there were fewer people starving to death?" Follow the government, that's a dead end."

Yang Quan was a little surprised: "I don't know why Uncle Song said this?" ”

Song Kuanzhi sighed, "Throughout the dynasties, at the beginning of the founding of the country, there were generally no major disasters in the country, the country was strong, and the people were rich, but why in the last years of the dynasty, a small drought and flood would provoke a civil uprising, until the dynasty was changed?" ”

He said this, watching Yang Quan listen attentively, and then continued, "Later generations will often be detained, and those in power will be mediocre, and even disasters will fall from heaven." www.biquge.info The real situation is actually very simple, not that there was no disaster in the early years of the dynasty, but at the beginning of the establishment of the dynasty, the emperor was wise and resolute, and the ministers below had experienced war, and knew the terrible disaster of famine.

But in the last years of the dynasty, most of the emperors were fools who were brought up by women in the deep palace, and there was no wisdom and strategy of the ancestors at the beginning of the establishment. In addition to the shortcomings at the beginning of the founding of the country, in the last years, it is like a big tree that has taken root in the dynasty, and it will not stop at all if it does not suck up the last drop of blood of the dynasty. How can the kingdom not perish? “

"Then Uncle Song means that this government is providing disaster relief, and there is really a problem." Yang Quan's face couldn't help but worry,

Song Kuanzhi sighed and nodded, which was a tacit acquiescence. Yang Quan stopped in the middle of the road at the moment, "How is this good, aren't the remaining villagers going to suffer?" “

"Does Yang Xian's nephew plan to go back?" Song Kuanzhi also stopped, looked at Yang Quan and asked

Looking at Song Kuanzhi's shining eyes in front of him, Yang Quan was stunned for a moment, smiled slightly, and his stiff cheeks turned into pieces of butterflies. "Go back? What can I do when I go back? Can you still fight the government? Instead of this, it is better to go home honestly and let yourself have the ability to help them."

Song Kuanzhi looked at this proud young man, and a smile appeared on his face.

The speed of the team that was heading north was slowly decreasing, not that Lu Xiangsheng was not in a hurry, but that the current situation was really not something he was anxious about, for no other reason, because the soldiers were now tired, and most of them had no strength.

From the outside of Shunde Mansion to this place today, this is still his Lu Xiangsheng to govern the army, which makes him a strong army, walking a hundred miles a day, you know, at this time, many Ming troops, a day of rapid marching, can only walk twenty or thirty miles.

Lu Xiangsheng watched the soldiers start to rest, he sat in the shade of the tree, untied his armor, the armor on his body, basically made of iron leaves, it was extremely heavy to wear, in general, he Lu Xiangsheng was actually more like a freak, although he was born as a literati, and also served as a prefect, but when it comes to martial arts, ordinary generals are not comparable to him, and some people in later generations have seen the long knife he used to practice, it is said to weigh one hundred and twenty or thirty pounds, this level, it is estimated that it is the era of famous generals in the late Ming Dynasty, and it can be regarded as the only scorpion.

A horse galloped in the distance, Lu Xiangsheng frowned, just now he sent the forward, has already discovered, now this Tartar, has collected troops to the north, this north is directly subordinate to the south of this Qing Yuan, there are only scattered Tartar horses, but there is no regular army. However, the cavalry came very quickly, and the soldiers along the way did not stop him, so it seems that this man must have an urgent military report

"Supervisor, Inspector" The man was on a horse, but he couldn't find Lu Xiangsheng, so he had to shout at the crowd

"Come on, I'm here," Lu Xiangsheng had no choice but to stand up and shout at the man. There was no way, the entourage around him had already been rushed by him to the front and back of the team, restraining the army to maintain military discipline, he was a governor, and there was no one around him except for those ordinary soldiers.

Only then did the knight see Lu Xiangsheng, get off the horse, and walked up to him, "Supervisor, this is the letter that Yang Quan entrusted me to give you, and before he left, I must hand it over to you, so as to investigate the military situation, I forgot about this matter, and I just dismounted. I hurriedly sent it to you. “

Lu Xiangsheng listened to He Lao Liu's ramblings, and when he heard the letter written by Yang Quan to him, he couldn't help but think of Yang Quan's appearance in his mind, and took the letter from He Lao Liu's hand with a smile, and waited to start, only to find that this letter was very heavy, and it seemed that there must be a lot of things in this letter. Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng's contempt faded,

He took the envelope, only to see that the cover was written Lu Xiangsheng Lu Inspector himself, looking at the font is strong and powerful, the structure is simple, and it is not a person who has practiced hard since childhood to write such a font.

He carefully tore open the envelope, took out a pile of papers inside, he opened the letter, read a few lines, his body couldn't help but sit up straight, only to see Lu Xiangsheng's face, and because of the content of the letter, the more he looked at it, the more dignified it became, and after a while, he slowly exhaled. Fold the stack of paper and put it back in the envelope.

Lu Xiangsheng glanced at the soldiers around him, and put the envelope into his arms, and then secretly thought to himself, "Yang Quan's vision is not ordinary, but today, Your Majesty, in fact, ordinary people can think about it?" The various measures in this letter are a good way to prepare troops for war, especially at a time when the treasury is empty and there is no way to pay more than the amount of money. “

Thinking of this, he sighed secretly, the current national disaster, the resurgence of domestic exiles, the unfavorable disaster relief of the imperial court, the hunger and cold of the refugees and the countless starvation, were instigated by a handful of rebellions, and the huge rebellion one after another, if the officers and soldiers are effective, and the local government is supplemented by successive disaster relief methods, how can these rebellious and rogue gangsters be in trouble? It's a pity that now the officers and soldiers can't use it, and the government is rotten to the bone, even the princes in the court, if it's really something beneficial to the people, I'm afraid they have their own little abacus
