Chapter 333: Robbing money, robbing officials, and robbing women
Shi Wansui gasped, and the muscles on his face twitched: "Wang Yuanwai, you are not wrong, this is one million, you just made up 100,000 yuan and worked so hard, how can you say that this million will come?" ”
Wang Shichong's eyebrows moved slightly, and a sly smile flashed on his face: "I calculated in my heart just now, if I take hundreds of guards and private soldiers to fight in Ningzhou, I can also save a lot of wages in the past few months, and close a few more shops, it should still be okay to grit my teeth, there are many gold and silver treasures in Ningzhou, and after the battle is divided, there are nearly a thousand people to share it together, and I should be able to earn a lot back." So it's worth settling this account, gritting your teeth and letting out some blood, and you have to do it. ”
A flash of divine light flashed in Shi Wansui's eyes, and he hurriedly asked, "What did you say?" Will there be a large amount of gold and silver treasures in a barren land like Nanning? ”
Wang Shichong secretly laughed in his heart that this Shi Wansui is really a dirt bun who can only fight, and he doesn't even know this, but he has a surprised expression on his face: "Ah, hasn't General Shi heard the story of the former Xining Prefecture assassin and the current Dali Qing's Liang Bi who refused gold in Ningzhou back then?" ”
Shi Wansui shook his head: "This kind of imperial history, civil officials and I, Shi Wansui, have always looked down on them, and I have never had any dealings with them, what is going on, let's hear it." Shi Wansui said as he spoke, and his eyes began to glow.
Wang Shichong said: "This Liang Bizi Jinghe, is a native of the Northwest Anding Wushi (in the middle of present-day Gansu), who entered the court as an official in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and did not drive the state, and when the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Northern Qi Dynasty, he also achieved the intermediate official position of the chief of the division of the march.
After the establishment of the Great Sui, because he has always been upright and frank, he is not afraid of the reputation of the powerful. The emperor made him make a great order. Carry the Marquis.
Liang Bi's law enforcement is upright. offended many powerful people, so he was beaten and sent to Xining Prefecture (in present-day Yunnan), a remote and desolate place, as a assassin.
At that time, Xining Prefecture was still in the uncivilized and barbaric stage, and the aborigines were still primitive tribes, all of which were fighting primitive people.
Gold is produced here, and all tribes have the custom of collecting gold, and the chiefs of the tribes also show their status and strength by the amount of gold. As a result, there was constant friction between each other.
After Liang Bi arrived, he made it clear that all tribes were no longer allowed to fight privately for gold, but all tribes turned a deaf ear, and people have been fighting for this thing for hundreds or thousands of years.
So Liang Bi summoned the chiefs to his banquet, and these chiefs thought that Liang Bi was also like the corrupt officials who had made a lot of money in this place before, so they brought a lot of gold to the banquet, and they all wanted to get Liang Bi's support, and it was best to borrow some Sui soldiers to fight, so that they could be the king and hegemon in this area.
Wait until everyone is drunk and hot. Liang Bi ordered the people to bring out all the gold offered by these chiefs, and the chiefs looked at each other. I don't know what Liang Bi meant by this move, and some people even asked if they thought they gave too little gold?
As a result, Liang Bi cried at the gold on the spot, and said while crying: 'This thing can't be eaten when it's hungry, and it can't be used as clothes when it's cold, but you people are attacking each other for this thing, and now you have given me this thing, and I have gold, will you also come and kill me in the future?' ’
The chiefs panicked, and they all fell to their knees, swearing that they would never do so.
So Liang Bi returned all the gold to the chiefs, and these people admired Liang Bi's character, admired what he said, and really stopped fighting for gold.
Liang Bi spent four years in Xining Prefecture, where he managed the entire area in an orderly manner and handled the relationship with the ethnic minorities very appropriately. The Queensland Assassin who is now rebelling, when Liang Bi was the assassin of Xining Prefecture, he didn't dare to move the crooked thoughts of rebellion at all.
The emperor heard about Liang Bi's actions in Xining Prefecture, and transferred him back to the court, replacing Yang Yuan as a free cavalry attendant, Dali Qing (equivalent to the Supreme People's Court), who was responsible for the final trial of the prison.
After Liang Bi left, Wei Shichong, who was the governor of Nanning Prefecture at the time, had no one to restrain him, and began to rob the gold and women of the local barbarians, which intensified the local contradictions, but Wei Shichong had a large army stationed at that time, so although the Nanban was angry, he did not dare to make a mistake.
It wasn't until the fifteenth year of the emperor's reign that the emperor recalled Wei Shichong and abolished the Nanning Prefecture Marching Governor's Office, and there was no strong army in the local area. ”
Shi Wansui nodded again and again when he heard this, and he smiled: "Great, there is gold in that place, it seems that this counterinsurgency is enough for our soldiers to make a fortune." ”
Wang Shichong said in a low voice: "General Shi, if the emperor does not have a clear will for me to ask for the local gold treasures, I think this matter should not be done too well." After all, Ningzhou is different from other places, when Zhuge Wuhou pacified the Nanban, he also attacked the city and attacked the heart, robbed a little money, and separated from the local people, after all, it was not a long-term solution, and it was not conducive to the establishment of a stable rule in the local area of the Great Sui. ”
Shi Wansui's face changed slightly, and he waved his hand: "Outside the king, you don't know what to do, the coach needs to use various means to mobilize the enthusiasm of the people below, especially this time in the wilderness, barren area, everyone's head is pinned to the waistband of the trousers, the background is away from home, go home thousands of miles, you only pay that little military salary, and expect people to work hard, how is this possible?"
Back then, you also led troops to fight Lingnan, I heard that at that time, you were dividing the fields and land, and you opened the treasury of Panyu City, and directly distributed money to everyone. ”
Wang Shichong sighed: "General Shi, the situation in Lingnan is different from Ningzhou, although there are also barbarians who account for the majority, but after all, there are large areas of flat land, and there are also cities like Panyu, Shixing, and Hengzhou.
But the situation in Ningzhou is completely different, there are completely deep mountains and old forests, there are no roads, and there is no city for our Han people, the Xining Prefecture where Liang Bi was located back then was just a small village of only 300 steps, which has long been abandoned, even if we succeed in counterinsurgency this time, it is unlikely that we will be stationed in the local area for a long time, and then we will still have to rely on the local barbarians to govern the various tribes.
At that time, Zhuge Wuhou of Shu Han wanted to capture Meng Shu seven times? It is because it is easy to solve Ningzhou militarily, but it is even more difficult to let these barbarians sincerely submit to them for a long time, so Han people like the Fu clan can only be barbarized and become the leaders of the barbarians when they arrive in the local area, instead of allowing the barbarians to destroy forests and farm and build cities.
Therefore, this southern expedition, you can't grudge the locals, just get rid of the first evil, if the arson army robs the gold, then as soon as our army leaves, the barbarians will still rebel. Wang Shichong said as he spoke, and he regretted revealing the gold produced in Ningzhou to Shi Wansui.
Shi Wansui waved his hand impatiently: "I am the general who quelled the rebellion this time, and my task is to catch the warp and eliminate the several tribes that led the rebellion, as for whether these barbarians will continue to make trouble after I leave, that is not something I need to take care of." Wang Yuanwai, I understand what you mean, but that's what the prime ministers are considering, this time I didn't receive an order to escort local officials to their posts, obviously the imperial court only needs to kill a hundred people, as for the future, then it is not my responsibility.
What do you tell me about Zhuge Liang's capture of Meng Shu, it doesn't make any sense, Zhuge Liang Pingnan is just to stabilize the south, and then the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, so what he needs is to let the barbarians in the south not make trouble, and naturally want to attack the heart, but my task this time is to quell the rebellion, and this time the generals and pro-soldiers I selected must benefit from this battle, otherwise they will not follow me next time there is a war.
In fact, it is the same for you, if you don't share the gold of these servants, will they not ask you for these months' wages? How are you going to make up for the loss of your millions of dollars? The eldest husband put his head on the belt of his trousers and worked hard, it was nothing more than a fame and wealth, and he didn't take the wealth in front of him, so what was the trouble?
