Chapter Ninety-Three: The Four Great Families
"I have made an appointment with Long Ji and them, and the Tatar army outside the emperor will come in after rescuing him. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info When the time comes, we will eradicate Li Guang in one fell swoop. ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Xiao Yan has something important to say!" Xiao Yan suddenly thought of something,
"What's the matter?" That's a foolproof solution, isn't it? Still have questions? Zhu Shou really thinks that this plan is all ready, and only Dongfeng is owed. Deploy it and implement it directly.
Xiao Yan's face was grim and he looked very nervous. The success or failure of this battle is related to who the future master of the Ming Dynasty is. "The hearts of the people. According to Xiao Yan's knowledge, when Emperor Chengzu took the throne from Emperor Jianwen in the Battle of Jingjing, many people were already dissatisfied. Now that a guy who claims to be the descendant of Emperor Jianwen has appeared, the people must think that the Ming dynasty is going to be passed from the hands of the descendants of Emperor Chengzu to the hands of the descendants of Emperor Jianwen. Not having the will of the people is very bad for us! ”
Zhu Shou nodded slowly, he really didn't expect this. Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, this has been handed down since ancient times, and every period of change of dynasty is that those who win the hearts of the people get the world.
The dynasties that were replaced were replaced because they did not have the support of the people.
"Do you think we have the will of the people?" Zhu Shou asked this most basic question, if there is no popular support, it is better to win this battle, but once it fails, it will fall into a place of no return.
Xiao Yan thought about it and gave Zhu Shou an accurate answer, "Yes!" ”
"On what basis?" It's not that Zhu Shou is not confident, but the enemy is menacing, and it is difficult to guarantee that those who once wanted to support him betray him.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very much loved by the people in the south, and Wang Shouren is recruiting supporters for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the southern region. Almost all the people of the South are embracing you. ”
Xiao Yan told Zhu Shou all the real situation, the situation was like this, it seemed to be a simple battle, but it made Zhu Shou feel extremely tricky.
First of all, the enemies that Zhu Shou faced were Li Guang and the army of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the people of the north. The vassal kings of various places have long been dissatisfied with Zhu Youji, and they have also responded to Zhu Qinji's call.
The people's hearts are only half, and even if they achieve the final victory, it will only be half of the country. Is Da Ming going to be divided into two?
"If you don't get the support of all the people of the Ming Dynasty, it won't be a victory!" Zhu Shou squinted his eyes, and his expression was extremely resolute.
"Actually, Xiao Yan still has a plan!" Xiao Yan thought about it and said, Xiao Yan didn't want to mention this matter, but now it seems that it is not okay not to mention it. Xiao Yan finally decided to tell Zhu Shou.
Zhu Shou was happy when he heard it, and he was very interested. The tightly knit brow immediately relaxed, "Oh? Come and hear it! ”
Xiao Yan paused for a moment and then began to continue, "In fact, the Ming Dynasty was able to establish not only to win the hearts of the people, but also to get the support of the four major families. ”
"Four families?" Zhu Shou has never heard that there are people behind the Ming Dynasty, or what are the four major families, this is too, right? It seems that this is really not the Ming in history.
"That's right! Shangguan, Ouyang, Murong, Nangong, the four major families. ”
"What a stylish last name." Zhu Shou couldn't help but smash his mouth,
"Whether it is financial resources or connections, they are much more powerful than the emperor, and the number of people who have received their alms is innumerable, and the Ming Dynasty has relied on the financial resources of the four major families to maintain it so far, how can it survive to this day just by relying on the taxes paid by the people of the Ming Dynasty."
This is beyond the scope of Zhu Shou's cognition, it turns out that the Ming here is not so simple. I thought I could change history with some historical knowledge, but I didn't expect that I would be changed by history all the time.
"You mean that as long as I have the support of the four major families, I will have a few more chances of winning?" Zhu Shou asked rhetorically,
Xiao Yan nodded, "That's right, and it's not a few more chances of winning, but a sure win." Li Guang must also know about this, and he must rush to the four major families before them and persuade them to support us. ”
"Let them provide us with silver taels, and then we will equip the army with the highest level of equipment!" Zhu Shou's eyes lit up, and he could already imagine what the Ming army with high-level equipment was like.
"Good! Let's get started. The military advisor, apprentice, and Tang Bohu followed me to the four major families, and the others all acted according to the plan, and those who were not assigned were not assigned to stay first. ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince, what about me?" Zhao Rige muttered something, but Zhu Shou didn't understand it, but he could understand the general meaning.
"Follow me." With a Tatar by his side, Zhu Shou always felt weird. If he didn't bring it, there would be no place to put him, Su Qi would have looked at him with an angry face on the side.
It's also strange that Zhao Zhige is wearing a tartar outfit, otherwise he wouldn't be so thoroughly exposed.
In this way, everyone set off, Bai Qiyou and Su Qi stayed behind to guard the base camp, and everyone else carried out their own tasks.
The four major families are located in the most hidden places in the capital, these four families are not only the richest families in the Ming Dynasty, each family has a master who has practiced a good martial arts, and there are a group of capable people under him.
There is nothing in this world that the four major families can't do, as long as they squeak on the rivers and lakes, there will be many people who have received their favor to go to the soup for the four families, whether it is going to heaven or hell, there will definitely be people who will die.
Although the four great families are famous all over the world, few people know their true colors, and those who think of those who are close to them have been wiped out by their people.
It's not ordinary people who can get their favors, either you have talent, or you have value, otherwise the four major families will not waste financial resources to help.
On the surface, the four major families are in the same boat, wearing a pair of pants, and sharing blessings and hardships, but in fact, there are deep contradictions between them, and the conflicts between them are constant.
The Shangguan family is the most powerful in it, and it is the most hostile to the other three, and the Nangong family is the weakest one, and it is often squeezed out by the other three, but the hostility is not so deep.
The Ouyang family and the Murong family are in a state of marriage and belong to the union. These two families were the first hostile targets of the Shangguan family, and they were the most threatening compared to the Nangong family, so the three of them suppressed each other and forgot about the Nangong family.
Zhu Shou took Tang Long and the others to the four major families.
"Master Xiao, where do you say we should go first?" Zhu Shou asked Xiao Yan,
"It's the same everywhere, one by one. The more support you get, the higher your win rate. ”
"Li Guang must have also sent someone to find the four major families, we are competing with each other about speed, and whoever gets more support will have the right to speak."
Zhu Shou felt so depressed, the dignified Prince Ming actually asked for help from the four major families, I thought that the Prince of Daming was very awesome, but I didn't expect it......
Zhu Shou was very unwilling, why should the national fortunes of the Ming Dynasty be in the hands of others? No, I want to change this fate!
