Chapter 942: The Terrible King of Xiliang
The Xiang army defected on the verge of battle, completely ruining Tongshan's dream of seizing Suzhou and becoming prosperous and rich.
It seems dramatic, but it's more like inevitable. Those military leaders and families can buy it, but the small soldiers can't!
How miserable the Xiang army is, there is too much to say earlier, no need to talk nonsense.
This time, they all divided the fields into their families, turned over, and their fathers, uncles, brothers, and so many villagers, with hoes and flat burdens, ran to the city to help defend the city.
You take a knife and go to help the rebels and kill the great benefactor who gave you the land, and this thing doesn't make sense. Ordinary soldiers are not without popularity, but they were suppressed before and did not dare to resist, but when the ruler died, he was not afraid of anything.
Not only were they not afraid, but they also felt ashamed of what they had just done, and this group of soldiers took the initiative to carry weapons and kill out of the city. They led the head, and the militia behind them followed, like a torrent gushing out, with great momentum!
The silent city of Suzhou also moved at this time, the door of the trading house opened, and the Qian Hall of the inn was full of men, porters of the carriage and horse shops, delivery boys, and weavers of the workshop...... Most of them moved, and they rushed to the road, startling the soldiers at first, but soon they understood that these people were there to help the court fight!
That's right, although they don't have to farm, but most of their families, fathers, brothers, wives, children, most of them work hard in the soil!
It's easy to have a chance to change the situation, and no one wants to give up.
More and more people stood up, hundreds of thousands of people in Suzhou, forming a team of 100,000 people, it was simply too easy, the angry people rushed out of the city, and the box army in front had already dispersed the rebels of the Cao Gang.
Even the Xiang army is playing with his life!
Damn, in front of the old and young masters, I can afford to lose my life, and I can't afford to lose people!
Lao Tzu fights!
Tong Shan, as well as the other big dragon heads, were all frightened.
The people who swallowed the water like warm water really broke out, and it was better than the monstrous flood, and they only felt as if they were about to be submerged.
What a dream, what a fantasy, Tong Shan has forgotten, he only has one thought now, that is, to run, the farther he runs, the better!
The rebels were scattered, and they were completely defeated without even encountering the official imperial army.
Some of the rebels lagged behind, and were caught up by the common people, and they couldn't help but be killed on the spot, and some were even trampled into flesh by countless pairs of big feet, leaving only a dark red spot on the ground and a few rags.
Escaping death, Zhang Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
He suddenly remembered the old man, and the three young men, who had taken the lead in fighting back, which caused the Xiang army to mutiny, and then the whole city was mobilized, and he survived.
"Old hero, your honorific name?"
The old man smiled, "What old hero, my name is Jiang Jianchen, and I am the head of Caokou's kung fu sect." ”
Zhang Yun was stunned, Cao Kou, how could he be on his side, this is too interesting?
"That...... Old Hero Jiang, I'm really confused. ”
Jiang Jianchen smiled, "My lord, this matter is easy to say, you are the second good official I have met surnamed Jiang!" ”
Hearing such praise, Zhang Yun touched his chin embarrassedly, it seemed that others were calling him a bastard!
"By the way, who was the first person?"
"He is very famous, and he is the first genius of our Great Song Dynasty!"
Zhang Yun frowned and was surprised, Jiang Jianchen simply said directly, it was none other than Su Dacai, Su Shi!
Before Wang Ningan came to Jiangnan, he had arranged for a few people to contact the members of the Cao Gang to understand their voices, so as to prescribe the right medicine and completely solve the problem of Cao Yun.
Su Shi is the most important one, he was happy and full of confidence at first. Su Shi knows very well that eradicating the Cao Gang is good for ordinary laborers, and it can increase a lot of income, and there is no need to whisper, kowtow everywhere and pay respect, what a good thing!
Only a fool refuses!
But after going down, he found that almost all the coolie footmen resisted the tactics of the imperial court, and they didn't even bother to listen to your explanation.
Almost everyone knows a reason!
No matter how bad Caokou is, there are all locals inside, and they don't look up to see each other, although they are quite ruthless, but the big guy is still alive...... If it falls into the hands of the imperial court, will it end well?
What has the imperial court done over the years?
The Seedlings Law forced them to borrow money, and they couldn't borrow it, so they paid taxes on their fields, and as a result, they paid their fields and their taxes...... Now they have to build railways and rob them of their jobs, the court is so hateful, they would rather believe the words of Caokou, master, master, and the big dragon head than the words of the court.
What's more, because they are illiterate, most people don't know what the imperial court is going to do!
After Su Shi observed, he sighed repeatedly, he had to admit that temples and rivers and lakes are really two worlds!
No wonder the brother-in-law has always insisted on destroying the family and solving the gang...... If you don't deal with these people, the court will never be able to win the trust of the people, and it seems that the world is unified, but in fact, the world is divided into small grids, regions, portals, gangs, families, landlords, and clans...... It is a strong fortress that stubbornly resists all changes.
For example, in order to promote industry, it is necessary to implement universal education, but as a result, there are so many local forces in the local area that they will distribute resources, and they will certainly not be evenly divided, and the so-called universal education will not be achieved at all...... This is just one example, there is also land acquisition, industrial development, agricultural transformation, and even resettlement development...... Nothing can be pushed down, or when it reaches the place, it will be seriously distorted and deformed!
Dasu thought about it seriously for the first time, and it was useless to see that it was useless, and he had to really solve the problem!
He pondered for three days, and he really came up with a solution.
Su Shi is delicious, and his cooking skills are good, he set up a stall next to the dock, specializing in roast meat, and the meat he makes is unique, not with water, but stewed with rice wine, and then put it on the pot to steam.
The steamed meat is not only ruddy in color, but also melts in the mouth, which is wonderful!
Liba, as long as you spend 20 coppers, you can buy a fist-sized piece of roast meat, affordable and delicious, a sensation for a while, dozens of people queue up every day, waiting with their eyes and eyes.
Dasu finally made a name for himself by the canal, and finally had the opportunity to sit down and talk with Liba Porter...... Su Shi didn't tell the people anything directly, but chose a very strange method, he scolded, kept scolding, scolded in all sorts of ways, from top to bottom, almost no one could run away.
The coolie porter at the dock, the biggest enjoyment every day is to eat a large piece of roast meat, and the biggest pleasure is to listen to Su Shi scolding!
Dasu perfectly realizes that I scold, therefore I am!
He was dressed sloppily, covered with oil stains, and had a foul mouth, sitting with Liba, almost indistinguishable, no one dared to believe that this guy in front of him was the first genius of the Great Song Dynasty, the bachelor of Hanlin!
Finally, the hard work paid off, and they began to accept Su Shi and treat him as their own.
Su Shi also had the opportunity to tell the big guys about the national policy of the imperial court.
"The construction of the railway is not to abolish the canal, the canal is still the same, and your life has no impact, but there is no Caokou exploitation, you are all serious workers, and you will be protected by the imperial court, and no one will dare to deduct your wages."
"I tell you, in the future, there will be not only trains, but also steamers, powered by steam engines, without rowing or sailing, and running in the river by themselves, and many times more powerful than the ships of today!"
"Ahh So what do we boatmen do? ”
Su Shi smiled, "It's not easy, learn to drive a boat, I can guarantee that it will definitely make more money than now!" ”
"But, but we won't know anything!"
"It's easier!" Su Shi said with a smile: "The imperial court wants to implement the division of fields, and to abolish Caokou, which is to increase your income, so that you have money, and you can send your children to study, learn skills, live a good life, and get ahead!" ”
"So, the imperial court is not bad?"
Su Shi smiled, "Of course, there are many corrupt officials in the imperial court, but the saints, as well as the rulers, they all hope that the world will be better, that is, let most people live a stable life, so that they can sleep peacefully...... Therefore, the court thinks about everyone, but the local gentry may not be, as long as they have their own interests, something can be pushed to the court, so those who keep saying that for your good masters, dragon heads, gentry, and clan elders, may not be sincere, everyone should not be confused, keep your eyes open! ”
……
"Master Su told us a lot of truths, and the old man felt that he had lived in vain all his life...... The imperial court can send Master Su down, it's really for the big guy! ”
Jiang Jianchen mentioned Su Shi, he was still full of gratitude, he had some status in the Cao Gang, Jiangnan Cao Gang contacted the Cao Gang of Lianghuai and wanted to rebel, after Jiang Jianchen knew, he immediately told Su Shi, Su Shi also sent a letter to his brother-in-law, and at the same time sent Jiang Jianchen to the south, pretending to be the Cao Gang envoy of Lianghuai, spying on intelligence.
Coincidentally, this time one of the commanders in the Xiang army was Jiang Jianchen's former apprentice, and the old man arrested him, and after a scolding meal, this kid immediately turned the spearhead, and this was a dramatic scene......
Zhang Yun digested it for a long time before he sorted things out, and his cold sweat came down!
What a powerful Xiliang King!
He used cool officials with great fanfare, but in fact, it was just one hand, and the other invisible hand, through Su Shi, he and many others went to do the work of the common people, to divide the Cao Gang, and to divide the ordinary people and the gentry and landlords...... Imperceptibly, the drops of water pierce through the ...... It turns out that they can kill and slash in Jiangnan without serious problems, on the contrary, they can also get the full support of the people, how much credit is Wang Ning'an!
Zhang Yun secretly looked at the enthusiastic and excited people, how many of them were arranged by King Xiliang? Light, dark, and how many eyes are staring at themselves?
I can't imagine it!
Zhang Yun was sweating, tens of thousands of rebels, he was not afraid, but in the face of such a thoughtful and dazzling King of Xiliang, he was really afraid, afraid from the bottom of his bones...... Especially when my own life is still in the hands of others, oh my God, what should I do?
The first cool officer, he is broken down at the moment!
