Chapter 278: Shocking Secret
"Lu Hanqiang, I'll strangle you. Eん.” Zhang Zihan pinched a small piece of meat on Lu Hanqiang's arm violently, and felt incomprehensible, and twisted it around, which made Lu Hanqiang grin in pain.
"You let go, why are you pinching my brother-in-law." Ruyun immediately grabbed Zihan's hand and yelled at her.
Lu Hanqiang transferred this pain to the innocent little fat man: "Little fat man, I'll strangle you." ”
"Why strangled me, I'm a hero." The little fat man retorted loudly with a proud face and an innocent face.
In fact, if this battle is not counted in front, the little fat man is indeed a hero, his fire, completely extinguished the confidence of the lamp's stubborn resistance, so that it may be a difficult siege battle only half an hour later, although the little fat man did not block the lamp, he was desperately protected by more than a dozen personal soldiers, rushed out of the back village to escape, but also let the lamp this time the whole army was wiped out.
"As the commander of the first army, you lost your duties, abandoned your own team, and only cared about the joy of fighting, but because of your rashness, our team suffered undeserved losses, do you know how many casualties the brothers hastily went into battle in order to rescue you this time?" Lu Hanqiang yelled angrily.
"How much?" The little fat man asked indifferently.
Lu Hanqiang said bitterly: "When we were pursuing, we only killed one and injured five, but when we attacked the cottage in a hurry, we killed twenty-one brothers and injured nearly fifty, isn't it your sin?" ”
The little fat man opened his mouth wide in surprise.
Lu Hanqiang was pleased to be able to give the little fat man a profound family motto.
"Only more than 70 people were killed and wounded? It's a big win. As a result, the little fat man's conclusion made Lu Hanqiang completely speechless.
Yes, he has become numb to killing, but it does not mean that he looks down on life and death, the death and injury of every brother makes him deeply hurt, and as the son of Jiangmen, he thinks from the bottom of his bones that one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, and the battlefield casualties are inevitable and inevitable. Even the ones reported are hundreds of thousands? This time he was a perfect victory, destroying no less than 3,000 enemies, but only killing 22 people in the battle of 3,000 enemies, this is simply a miracle, this is definitely a great battle feat that can be shown off in front of his father.
Lu Hanqiang pointed to the innocent face of the little fat man for a long time, and then gave up in despair, he couldn't understand the thoughts of the ancients, so he no longer understood. Counting the results of the battle and collecting materials, especially the cellar that broke through the sky, is the right thing to do.
The purpose of this war is two, one is to force these rookies to attack the city, and in the flames of war, temper an army that dares to fight and can fight, and the second is to dig cellars to subsidize military funds.
In this era, there is no bank, and the consumption is single, and you have no place to spend the money, so the only way is to bury it, not to mention others, even Lu Hanqiang's family is like this, not to mention this pole cottage, the matter of the little fat man, I will talk about it after I go back to the meeting.
The matter of excavating the cellar was handed over to Chen Liang, who was experienced at first glance, and his subordinates did it, believing that what he could do would be twice as effective with half the effort.
The matter of counting the results of the battle was handed over to Zhao Zi to do, and in the face of countless corpses and wounded, Zhao Zi still had the ability to bear it.
Counting the seized property, of course, is Zihan's task, as for Ruyun, let her follow Chen Liang around to dig around curiously.
Zhao Zi's work was meticulous and comprehensive, not only organizing his subordinates to bury the remains of both sides, but also treating some lightly injured poles as much as he could, as for the seriously injured, under this medical condition, the most merciful way is to give them a knife.
When he went out to fight this time, Lu Hanqiang specially told Zhao Zi that if there is a lightly injured pole, try to treat it, the first is humanitarian, no matter what, the pole is not all extremely evil, they are all forced to be helpless, or coerced, and they are also an innocent group, and the second is to prepare to recruit some poles to join their own team, and slowly establish their own core armament. And these wounded poles are the most suitable, not only have they had the test of blood and fire, and they are a hundred times stronger than the recruits in terms of combat effectiveness and experience, but they are also a group of homeless people, as long as they are cared for and comforted, they will be grateful to Dade for serving their lives, and they still have this means.
After working for a long time, Zhao Zi came to report to Lu Hanqiang: "The proprietor, the students have been counted. ”
"What results?" Lu Hanqiang asked lightly.
"1,100 corpses were collected, and 1,700 were wounded, of which 500 were strong, and the rest were old, weak, and disabled and could no longer fight."
"This time we will send those who can no longer fight back home, I think they will not be harmful, those who can be cured by treatment, we will take them first, we can't put them back, try to absorb them into our team, if they must leave after they recover from their injuries"
"We must not let the tiger return to the mountains and harm the localities." Zhao Zi said quietly but resolutely.
Lu Hanqiang glanced at Zhao Zi, and didn't make any comments, if he said that he was ruthless in doing things by unscrupulous means, he was really not as good as this scholar.
"There is one more thing I would like to report to the proprietor alone." At this time, Zhao Zi looked at the people coming and going, so he lowered his voice and asked Lu Hanqiang in a low voice.
"What is so important?" Lu Hanqiang tilted his head to look at Zhao Zi.
Zhao Zi wanted to speak and stopped, and then motioned to Lu Hanqiang to follow him to a place where no one was there to plot, Zhao Zi was like this, always making himself like a conspirator. Lu Hanqiang saw it, and followed Zhao Zi to a place where no one was, "Say, what's the matter?" ”
Zhao Zi observed the surroundings again, but after no one eavesdropped, he said solemnly: "Just now I found an important leader of the pole in the pole group, and I interrogated a shocking secret with a little means. Then without waiting for Lu Hanqiang to ask, he came to the past two days, the things that happened to the collapse of the sky and the lighting of the lamp one by one.
As a result, the process of the past two days has been tortuous, so that Lu Hanqiang's brain is not enough. It took a long time to smooth out the twists and turns, and at the same time, my heart felt extremely heavy.
"It seems that there are people in the Donglin in the middle of the court." Zhao Zi summarized the cause and effect of this incident.
"Yes, this time Donglin has already come out, and he has been very strong in moving his mouth and very poor in his hands-on ability, and he can do it, and I don't know who came up with this idea, it's very good and practical." Lu Hanqiang didn't have too much worry about Donglin sending people to use Zhao'an to instruct the pole to rob and kill himself, but he was very ashamed of their poor donkey skills, which was already out of the category of their Donglin advertised gentleman not bullying the dark room, proving that Donglin had fallen in advance. This also shows that in the court, Donglin has no way to deal with himself and his lonely party, so he can only use this kind of indiscriminate method to deal with himself, and this new situation shows that he is safe in the court, and the powerful Donglin has begun to be helpless against himself, so he is also telling himself that Donglin has no way to take himself, so the emperor will also have no way to take himself, and he is temporarily safe.
As for Donglin's small measurement, judging from the results of today's war, do you still have to worry? There's no need at all, I can't say that these Donglin's ghostly tricks are still paving the way for their own plans.
Looking at Lu Hanqiang, who looked indifferent, Zhao Zi asked in a low voice: "Do you want to write a letter to Lord Wang in the capital about the situation here?" Do you want them to prepare? Since they dare to go out of Beijing to deal with you, they may also use the same means to deal with Lao Wang. ”
Lu Hanqiang thought for a while, and then shook his head slightly: "If this matter is told to Lao Wang, it will make Lao Wang and their grass and trees all soldiers, and it will once again stir up the fight between the two parties in the capital, and once again stir up the party struggle in the court, now that I am not in the capital, I don't want to see such a situation." ”
Lu Hanqiang and the Lone Ministers Party under his control now have become traitors in the mouths of the scholars controlled by Donglin, but although the traitors in the past dynasties have doubled, they are all one or two, and they are not as turbulent as they are now.
As for the traitorous ministers, Lu Hanqiang's view is that when the traitors and loyal ministers are alive, you can't tell who is right and who is wrong, and the so-called traitors are still pointing out the country when they are alive, and they have quite a following, and some have made some achievements, such as the traitor Wei Zhongxian, when he was in power, the finances of the Ming Dynasty were hundreds of times stronger than when Donglin was in power, Wei Zhongxian did not persecute the people too much, and there was a slight surplus in the internal treasury, at least the money and food of the soldiers who fought to the death for the country in the border army were still available, at least when there was a famine in various places, It is still possible to reduce taxes and give a large amount of relief at the same time, at least he can recommend a group of foreign party ministers who are brave enough to serve the country. Unlike now, an emperor has to scrape together 100,000 silver for the sake of face, and he has to help the whole Shanxi so embarrassed, but the loyal ministers are always opposed from the top down, think about the traitorous ministers at that time, they are the real lonely ministers.
Therefore, Lu Hanqiang sometimes thinks with bad taste, is it because the loyal ministers have won sympathy to get the title of loyal ministers, and those traitorous ministers are jealous of some people because they are too carefree when they are alive, so they become traitors?
Loyal ministers and traitors, their names are only given after death, because no matter who they are, they cannot speak for themselves or defend themselves after death. As the so-called loyalty and adultery can only be told by those who come after. For example, there is a traitor Kou Zhun in real history, after his death, even when he lit a few more candles at the dinner party, he was characterized as a traitor, is this way of characterization too emotional? To put it bluntly, it is envy, jealousy and hatred.
But even if a traitor is a traitor, he must have a premise, that is, he must be a minister, that is to say, an official, because his ass is sitting there, speaking for the people at some point, or speaking for the dynasty, only in this way can his words and deeds be in line with his official status.
Many times we think that traitors are people who don't do, and plot all day long to frame Zhongliang or enrich their own pockets, but this is not the case, because their official status is destined to make him have to devote most of his time and energy to his duties, and make some political achievements for his boss to see, see his ability, and then promote them to the position where they can become traitors. If a traitor is not even qualified for his own position, that kind of person is not called a traitor, but a mediocre official, and if the boss does not have any special hobbies, his official position will not be able to last for a few years anyway.
However, there is very little time for framing and corruption, and these framing are actually to remove the obstacles in front of the rise of political performance!
Lu Hanqiang set himself and his lonely party between traitors and loyal ministers with a more human touch, and he is now alive to position himself as a minister, which can be fully reflected in his customized slogan, the first two sentences are high-sounding, and the back is the essence of empty talk, misleading the country and rejuvenating the country.
Lu Hanqiang definitely has no idea of rehabilitating the traitor, but he is just talking about the facts, because the current himself and his lonely party have been characterized as traitors by Donglin, so he needs to speak for himself and defend himself.
Lao Wang is not as steady as his son, and he is too eager for quick success, or he will not pull a butcher in order to increase his momentum, but also to raise funds, and when the little fat man said, as long as an old bustard takes out a million silver, then he can also make her a lonely minister.
This is somewhat of a gamble, but it reflects Lao Wang's eagerness to raise funds, and the funds he raised are in his sense to strengthen the momentum of the lonely minister, but what about the gains? But it was not in his pocket, but in the firm, and who was the first to get the millions of funds in the firm? Along the way, it seems that it is the hundreds of thousands of hungry and cold post soldiers, the emperor's internal money in the near future, and the border soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, Lao Wang is not a loyal minister, but it is not right to say that he is a traitor, but it should be attributed to a minister, but when he does things, he always stands on his own interests, and takes his own interests as the first, and there is nothing wrong with this, everyone is not a saint, this is instinct to live a good life for himself, and when doing things for himself, he can take into account the interests of other people and the interests of the country, then he is almost a complete minister.
And Donglin has now broken through his bottom line and started to engage in this ghost trick of killing people with a knife, if he let Lao Wang know, he is the first to think that Donglin killing Lu Hanqiang is a blow to the lonely minister who takes him as him, and it is a damage to the interests of Lao Wang, this is stepping on his cat's tail, that will definitely turn over and bite back, and when Lao Wang can override Lu Hanqiang and completely control the lonely ministers' party, maybe his old king will be happy to see Lu Hanqiang's disappearance.
Looking at Zhao Zi's clear expression, Lu Hanqiang smiled faintly: "They can do something outside the capital, but inside the capital, I don't think they are so stupid, if they really dare to use this kind of subordinate means to deal with the Lone Ministers, as long as a Lone Minister is confirmed to be their secret killer, then the fall of Donglin will not be far away." ”
Zhao Zi thought about it, and nodded in agreement with Lu Hanqiang's point of view, as long as Donglin really played assassination, then the name they advertised as surviving in the government and the opposition would completely collapse, and those smart people should be able to meet such consequences.
