Chapter 138: Success is also food, and defeat is also food
"Well, that's a good point." After all, Cod is still a man with hot blood, even if the pain of losing his brother makes him full of indifference to the court, but he can still do it if he separates good from evil.
This court is on the verge of extinction, and if it experiences a monarch like Emperor Yang of Sui or Emperor Qin II, it must be the time when the death knell rings. Even if you don't have that kind of monarch, it doesn't matter, even if you don't see him fall apart in your life, you don't want to be his lackey again.
People have feelings. The most disrespected dog, stubbornly watching the death of his best brothers, but unable to save their lives with the help of the power of the imperial court, this huge sense of loss, even an iron-clad man, will be disheartened.
If it weren't for Kangning's words, the cod would have chosen to become a monk or find a secluded place to live in seclusion. But now he has a new option.
The cod said, "I don't want to see any more brothers die in front of my eyes, and you and I are friends in trouble." Since you have such bold words today, I am looking forward to your future development. If you don't dislike it, I will switch to your Black Lotus Sect and continue to be the eyes and ears of eagles and dogs for the imperial court. ”
Corning laughed. People who continue to be the ears and eyes of eagles and dogs for the imperial court will not take the initiative to say their purpose. Since he has said such things, he wants to be the eyes and ears of the eagle dog for himself. Let's see if this arrogant guy just now can bring new hope to the land of China.
Kangning thought to himself that what he had just said was something he would have to do sooner or later. There are still less than thirty years before the fall of the Ming Dynasty, and even though this world has changed a lot, almost all the traversers are cautiously sneaking around. They are afraid that they will have too much influence on history, and that they will face situations that they cannot foresee in the future.
Of course, the traverser who already has a certain strength definitely doesn't think so. They are eager to merge and eliminate future competitors, especially those who have not yet formed a force.
But no matter what, the history of these thirty years will not be changed much, after all, there is still the existence of their husbands. The vast majority of traversers will be the target of hunting, unless, they are people like Shi Ziming who serve the Ming Dynasty wholeheartedly.
The cod did very well in this mission. In the near future, he will also be a part of the husband's errand bureau. In fact, when the Fucha Bureau was established, he planned to recruit him, but at that time, he had successfully lurked beside Wang Sen and gained Wang Sen's trust. If he is recalled, it will be a waste of all his work.
Therefore, there is no formal establishment of him in the Bureau, but a plan that has no practical significance. Now, that's the beginning of his service for the husband.
But it's not quite over here. Wang Sen also organized the last resistance at Shifokou. Cod told Corning. The number of troops that Wang Sen can control is definitely not only the Jianchang battalion. Although Corning had anticipated this, it was not very well prepared.
Therefore, for the sake of safety, he immediately sent a letter to the political envoy of Shandong, asking Shi Ziming, who would inevitably become his teacher in the future, to send reinforcements.
After Shi Ziming learned about the battle outside Jinan, he knew very well that Kangning's Qingzhou regimental training was at a serious disadvantage in terms of numbers. So before the text was delivered to him, he had already prepared reinforcements. It's just that this cross-border strike requires the approval of the cabinet. However, it was too late.
Shi Ziming finally made a risky decision. Let Sun Yuanhua, who led this support army, temporarily be incorporated into the battle sequence of the Qingzhou regimental training.
Sun Yuanhua didn't understand Shi Ziming's approach. According to the emperor's holy decree, it should be Kangning's Qingzhou group training that contributed this time. Why did Shi Ziming send his own forces?
However, Shi Ziming knew very well that what the emperor wanted was to disguise the process of quelling the rebellion as an armed conflict between secret societies. In order to prove that the Ming Dynasty did not come to an end at all, and the rebels were everywhere.
Then the officers and troops are not suitable for the mobilization of the army to attack. Therefore, an identity is needed as a cover, that is, the Qingzhou group training that will bear the infamy in the future, which is controlled by the Black Lotus Sect, a demon sect.
And this matter of Daqing's body fluids is very clear. That is the Qingzhou group practice that came out to carry the black pot, and it must not be defeated. Otherwise, the goal of counterinsurgency cannot be achieved.
And the main force of the counterinsurgency was recommended by him Shi Ziming, or it was precisely because he recommended Kang Ning and Xu Hongru that the old emperor thought that he could disguise this counterinsurgency operation as a conflict between demons and sects.
In case of defeat. Then he Shi Ziming can't escape the fate of being held accountable.
Moreover, Wang Sen, the demon sect force, is even more terrifying than the government to exploit the people. Taking advantage of the people's superstition to cheat and eat and drink has long become a thorn in Shi Ziming's side. If it weren't for Wang Sen hiding in the territory of Beizhili, he would have been eliminated by tomorrow.
Therefore, whether it is out of public interest or for the sake of the future. This matter is all done.
As a result, the reinforcements led by Sun Yuanhua left Jinan City in a mighty manner, however, even the families of the soldiers did not know that the army that had just left had become part of the Qingzhou regimental training.
No one knows how they will return from this trip. Even Shi Ziming is the same.
However, the speed of this reinforcement is really enough. Even though they had already acted before Kang Ning's text arrived in Jinan City, they were still on the way when Shi Ziming's palindrome to Kang Ning arrived at Qianxian County.
This made Corning's next arrangement a little stretched.
In principle, the sooner this war is fought, the better. After all, this is the emperor's wish, and Kang Ning and Shi Ziming do not have the strength to resist the emperor's will at the moment.
Therefore, without reinforcements, Kangning had to launch an attack on Qian'an County.
At this time, the county seat of Qian'an had been occupied by Wang Haoyi and his subordinates. A number of officials in the county town were either disciples who had taken refuge in Wang Haoyi, or were imprisoned or killed. The entire county has been occupied by Wang Haoyi and the hungry people he gathered.
The grain in the treasury of the government was also looted by the people. But Wang Haoyi didn't care about these things. The thing he wants to know most now is why this Qingzhou team training will be their opponent.
You must know that there are many garrisons around here, how can there be a Shandong army and horses that come thousands of miles to conquer them. Although his father Wang Sen has officially rebelled. However, it was not the three battalions that put down the rebellion, and even the regular army was not mobilized, but a regiment was trained.
When such a rabble came to them, did they look down on their Wang family's management of Luanzhou and Qian'an over the years?
However, Corning's facts soon proved who the real rabble was.
Artillery from Huang Lin. Under the command of the First Water Committee, more than a dozen shelling attacks were launched on the old city walls.
Then, Corning saw a live drama that made him jaw-dropping.
The soldiers who were still standing at the head of the city, to be precise, those who had been hungry not long ago, fled in panic after this round of shelling.
The gates were closed, so no matter how much they fled, they could not escape the city, but that did not prevent them from rushing from the top to the bottom of the city. Killed and injured under a severe stampede.
At the same time, it did not prevent the soldiers hiding behind the walls on the other side of the city wall, where the shells could not reach at all, from frantically rushing into the range of the shells.
Perhaps they felt that the wall was no longer safe, and that it was better to stay away from him. As a result, the wall was still holding on to his mission, and the soldiers, who would not have been so alarmed, were already lying on the roads of the city.
"That's the kind of military literacy. Can even pull the banner of rebellion? How weak is this court? ”
He Guan stood behind Kang Ning, looking at the scene that the city was already empty. Some of them laughed and laughed sarcastically at the monks of the Ming Dynasty.
But Corning just glanced at it coldly, and let this guy's next words be choked back into his throat.
"Otherwise, we'll rebel. With our firepower advantage, we can definitely do much better than him. At that time, the lord will be the emperor, and we will be the founding heroes. ”
Kang Ning knew that the courtiers of the Song Dynasty. I have always felt that Zhao Kuangyin, who is in a yellow robe, is a good story. This good story not only tells them how good the emperor is, but also how tempting it is to learn from the dragon's work.
The rich life of successive generations began from that moment. Even if the military power is released with a glass of wine in the future, the military general family still becomes the key selection family of the queen and concubines one after another.
It wasn't until Song Yingzong felt that such a inheritance could only push the Great Song Dynasty to the brink of extinction, so he married his son Song Shenzong to a relatively commoner daughter. The granddaughter of the late Prime Minister. Since then, the harem of the Northern Song Dynasty has broken the tradition of the daughter of a military general's family in power.
Although Song Yingzong died young, he did not or did not have time to make any achievements, but his ability to choose a daughter-in-law should be able to enter the top ten in Chinese history.
It's just that his action was a little late in the end, and the military general group or those hairpin families pushed the Great Song Dynasty to the brink of extinction a generation in advance.
Song Yingzong's empress Gao Taotao, after the death of Song Shenzong, listened to the government, and since then opened the prelude to the Yuanyou party dispute. First of all, the narrow-minded Sima Guang carried out a counterattack and repealed Wang Anshi's new laws, and then sat back and watched the crazy party struggle between the Shuo Party, the Luo Party, and the Shu Party and could not control the situation. Finally, it opened the prelude to the Northern Song Dynasty's struggle for the fall of the country.
Corning had a very low opinion of the woman named Gao Tao. The poverty and weakness of the Song Dynasty was, to a certain extent, the empress dowager and the empress dowager who listened to the government had an unshirkable responsibility.
I don't know why Shi Ziming, who is sitting in Jinan Mansion, is a Song fan, and even openly publicizes it, and sets off a big wave of Song fans among the ministers.
Don't they know that the Song Dynasty did not have the great unification of the Han and Tang dynasties, and there were literati biased thoughts full of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties.
Maybe it's not that they don't know, but they just want to have such a partiality of thought. But they don't have that fate, and the future ****** of the Southern Ming Dynasty will be compared to the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty. It's rotten, and there's not even scum left.
Therefore, the fat powder of the Song Dynasty should not appear in his team in the end.
Kang Ning pursed his lips and turned his head to look at He Guan again. The latter was already frightened, but the expression didn't seem to satisfy Kangning.
"Coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, that's the right thing. The gun shoots the first bird, you want to become a roast bird, Lao Tzu doesn't want to. ”
When this arrogant sentence came out, He Guan knelt down directly and admitted his mistake. This famous general who escaped in history, of course, knows how the people in Bianliang City who said three points told the story of the princes by holding the Son of Heaven hostage.
"Get up." Kangning's cold voice came, but he didn't look at him again, "If I don't care about the life and death of the soldiers, what I should do now should be to order the cloud ladder to attack the city." ”
He Guan stood up, followed behind Kang Ning, and replied resignedly: "The enemy has already run under the city. For us, it is naturally best to take advantage of the opportunity to storm the city. ”
"Now there is no one at the head of the city, but it doesn't mean that we are fighting against the ladder, and when the ants attack the city, they will not rush up again. After all, we don't have as many people as them, and we don't train very well. Just relying on the advantages of equipment may not be able to make us eat and drink spicy food for a lifetime. ”
He Guan opened his mouth, but he didn't say it after all.
Corning stopped walking and asked, "Why don't you dare to say it again?" ”
"I don't know if it's right."
"Whether it's right or not is something I have to think about, and it's not your attitude to say it's not a matter of your attitude."
He Guan hurriedly said: "Actually, we have another way. I have heard that these people are just hungry people who have just been gathered, and we are no longer short of food. ”
Kang Ning suddenly turned his head and looked at He Guan with a smile: "Your brain has finally opened up." ”
In a few moments, a big horn made of iron sheet appeared under the city, and Hu Luguang broadcast in his loud voice.
"Listen to the people of the city, if you continue to rebel, it will be a dead end, and if you choose to surrender, all this grain outside will be yours. If you don't think it's enough, you can go to Qingzhou. There is also vacant arable land, as well as a newly built canal. We haven't starved to death yet, and that's the best proof of that. ”
After shouting a few times, the noise inside began to get louder. Kang Ning knew that Wang Haoyi's people couldn't look at their own field anymore. The common people of China have always been able to distinguish between good and evil. In this regard, they are more than ten times better than some politicians.
So, Corning saw what happened next. (To be continued.) )
