Chapter 220: Conspiracy
Chapter 220: Conspiracy
Retreat to the grassland, herd sheep and hunt, work at sunrise and rest at sunset, but also be free. Only, what does the grassland really look like? Zhennan Wang Tuhuan didn't spend it in his mind, and he couldn't find the slightest impression. As a hereditary nobleman who was born in the palace and grew up in Yangzhou, he was familiar with the sails on the canal and the traffic in the city, but he didn't understand what 'the sky is like a dome, shrouding the four wilds'. He has never even been north of the Yellow River, let alone beyond the Great Wall, at the end of the desert. In fact, in addition to his innate wealth and slightly Confucian appearance, he was already an authentic Central Plains man, and the life that Timur did not describe, did not arouse any resonance in his heart.
"Yangzhou must not be able to hold it!" Seeing that Tuhuan didn't want to take over his stubble for a long time, Xuanlet Wang Timur didn't think about it, and continued to persuade in a low voice, "Zhu Butcher can easily demolish Baoying City, and the walls of Yangzhou City can't stop him." Right now, the two of us can't find a good way to deal with firearms. If you carry this little brother in your hand, not only Yangzhou can't hold it, but Luzhou is the same. If you don't get it right, the rest of the territory of the entire Henan Jiangbei Province will have to lose to him. It's better to avoid its edge for the time being and leave a little capital for a comeback! ”
"Uncle is right!" King Zhennan didn't take any time to listen, and nodded again and again, "Uncle is very right. The nephew is not reluctant to live in Yangzhou, but he can't figure out what to do for a while! ”
Before he finished his sentence, he sighed and shook his head. Raising his eyes, his eyes were full of reluctance. This is his Yangzhou, which has been operated by three generations of his Zhennan Wang family for more than 60 years. He is familiar with the mountains and rivers, the sky and the earth, and even the grass and trees. Since taking office, he has been diligent in government and loves the people, and has done his best to avoid the government's exploitation of the people. He ran it as if it were his own, and all of a sudden, a group of people came and said that it was not yours and that you must return it to its original owner. How can a young man who was ambitious and ready to expand his family business accept this scene?!
Not only was he reluctant to give up, but the surrounding soldiers also turned their heads to the side when they heard Timur's words, their faces full of desolation. They are also all natives of Yangzhou, and they have been given a piece of devotion since they were born, and they have to stretch out their hands when they eat and open their mouths. Many of them don't know how to hunt and herd sheep anymore, and they don't even speak Mongolian very well. Suddenly they have to give up what they once had and live like their ancestors again, they, how can they bear it?
"The old man is only talking about the worst-case scenario!" After all, he was more than ten years older than the other party, and Timur Buhua quickly realized the crux of the problem, "It's not that we must retreat to the grassland." It's not that if you give up Yangzhou, you won't come back. The old man just wants to leave a little more spark for our grandfather to make a comeback. If you are reluctant, try to defend Yangzhou City first. If the current situation is impossible, immediately retreat to Luzhou. The army of bandits in the imperial court is said to be on the way. It is estimated that when you withdraw from Yangzhou, they will almost be on the edge of the Yellow River. ”
The army of bandits in the imperial court? The last sentence made the eyes of everyone around him light up. The reason why the imperial court did not send troops and horses for a long time before is said to be mainly because it can't make up its mind, should it deal with Zhu Tuhu first, or deal with Liu Futong, the culprit? After all, the latter's territory went straight from Yingzhou to Bianliang, far beyond the small Huai'an under the rule of Zhu Tuhu.
And now, it is estimated that there is no need to argue anymore, after taking Baoying, Gaoyou and Yangzhou, the power of Zhu Butcher has become one of the Red Turban thieves. Whether it is from the perspective of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, or from preventing it from further expanding, he should be the first to be eradicated.
"Then, the little nephew will go back to Yangzhou to clean up first according to his uncle's wishes, and then rush to Luzhou to meet his uncle!" Thinking that he would be able to fight back and forth with the army of the imperial court in the near future and recapture Yangzhou, Zhennan Wang Tuhuan Buhua finally made up his mind, "In Yangzhou's treasury, there are still nearly two years of finance and taxes that have not been released to Dadu, and the stored grain is enough for 100,000 troops to eat for a whole year." The little nephew went back and transported all these away, and he must not be cheapened for nothing, surnamed Zhu! ”
"If you can transport it, burn it if you can't transport it!" Timur Buhua nodded, his face showing a bit of cruelty, "And those famous rich merchants in the city, let them leave together." If you want to stay and serve the thief, don't be soft. It is better to turn Yangzhou into a dead state, a rotten state, than to leave it to the butcher of Zhu with all beards and tails! ”
"This?" King Zhennan was stunned and began to hesitate again. Emptied the Yangzhou treasury and cleared the wall, and he had no burden in his heart. After all, in his eyes, those things belonged to the imperial court and the Zhennan Palace, and they should definitely not stay as enemies. However, killing all the rich people who refused to move with him was a bit out of his imagination. Those people are all his people, and he himself lost the battle, lost to Zhu Bayi, and left by himself. Why take the disaster on your own people?
"As long as you can get the canal and Yangzhou City back, do you still have to worry that no one will do business and no one will pay taxes to you? We Mongolians have always been shepherds, not farmers. We use fast horses and knives to "harvest", and we don't need to grow our own crops, let alone think about sheep. Timur's voice continued to come from his ears, and he was cold when he heard it.
He is a shepherd, and the people of Yangzhou City are sheep, and those rich people are undoubtedly the fattest of the sheep, this metaphor is very vivid, but for some reason, he is unwilling to accept it in his heart. Those fat sheep, those fat sheep have always been respectful to him. The fat sheep, the fat sheep who had been following him as a leader, didn't even notice that he still had a knife in his hand. And today, he's going to raise his knife to them
While he was struggling, suddenly, there was a harsh noise not far away. Immediately after, two Mongolian thousands of households stumbled over, knelt on the ground with a "poof", and cried and complained, "Prince, prince, you must be the master of the last general." Zhang Mingjian, Zhang Mingjian's thief, hit a deer and refused to sacrifice it to the prince. I actually dared to bake it myself and eat it alone. The last general, the last general just kindly reminded him, and he was beaten by him, and he was beaten like this."
As he spoke, he rubbed his hand vigorously on his nose, and his face was covered with blood. Seeing this scene, all the new and old hatreds swelled up, and immediately stretched out his hand to the hilt of the knife on his waist, ready to order his own soldiers to capture Zhang Mingjian. Unexpectedly, the hand pressed on the handle of the knife was firmly pressed there by Timur Buhua.
"Don't act rashly!" Xuanrang Wang Temur'er's eyes shot out two cold lights, "Zhang Mingjian dared to do this, he must have been prepared." Let's fight with him now, it will only cheapen the red scarf thief behind. In the old man's opinion, you might as well use this white-eyed wolf again. As long as, see how he Zhu Butcher will deal with it when the time comes? ”
