Chapter 56 Jiangnan Party Struggle

After Han Taozi's mediation, the four families finally agreed to negotiate peace with Dejia Weisuo, and returned to Dejia City with the peace agreement between Tangmen and the Red Cloud Society, and Han Taozi's mission was finally completed.

The Five Families Rebellion, which was originally an endless struggle, finally stopped because of a woman; The intricate contradictions and conflicts of interests dazzled everyone, but Han Taozi saw through them and sorted everything out.

Everyone was surprised, they had never heard of the name Han Taozi, so everyone was scrambling to find out. People in the world have made up one new and strange story after another; And the people above the temple, after some communication, silently recognized Han Taozi's talent and allowed her to maintain a certain status.

Ding Zhuhuang was also very happy to see Han Taozi come back with the peace agreement. Although Dejiawei has lost its position as a complete checker and balance on the other four, because of Han Taozi's efforts, the other four still recognize Dejiawei's status as the supreme ruler of Yaodong.

Although this position is largely superficial, the huge advantages brought by this position will also allow Ding Zhuhuang to occupy a greater advantage in the future struggle.

"Miss Han hasn't heard from me for a few months, I thought something happened to you, it's great that you can come back. Now that the war is out of the way, Yaodong can restore peace again, and Miss Han should take the first credit. Ding Zhuhuang said to Han Taozi.

"Nothing is over, everything is just a beginning. Now the war is temporarily stopped, but if it is not handled properly, there will be problems. I've been to the other four in the past six months, and I have a clear grasp of what they mean. As long as it is dealt with well in the future, it is only a matter of time before the authority of Dejiawei is restored. And the Tang Sect is the biggest threat to us, as long as the Tang Sect can be subdued, all the situation will turn against us. Han Taozi made a peace agreement and said to Ding Zhuhuang.

"Zheng Duxing has always had the idea of being the first person in Yaodong, and he was forced to choose to support our Dejia Health Institute. Although they have already used force this time, the other three families have not done too much, and Zheng Duxing has weakened the strength of my Dejia Guard, and he actually did it to the people of Yaodong. This is intolerable. Ding Zhuhuang said with some anger.

Zheng Duxing has always been arbitrary, and everyone in the Tang Sect is also in awe of him. But the Tang Sect itself is not monolithic, and I have found a breakthrough to provoke the civil strife of the Tang Sect. But Zheng Duxing is very difficult to deal with, and if he doesn't plan properly, he may not be able to shake his foundation at all. In my opinion, long-term fermentation is required to achieve the best results. Han Taozi replied.

"Is this breakthrough that Miss Han said the heir of Zheng Duxing? To be selected as the heir by Zheng Duxing must be his cronies, and it is not very easy to provoke a fight between them. Ding Zhuhuang said.

"Any unbreakable relationship, in the face of the word stake, will eventually be destroyed. It's just a matter of time. I have already handed over the letter of order given to me by Deacon Ding into the hands of the heir of Zheng Duxing. Then it's time for us to put our best foot forward. This is just the beginning, but where there is a beginning, there must be an end. Han Taozi said.

What Miss Han said is that Yaodong is in such a mess, and it will take time to restore the situation of the past. Miss Han is also a person with real talent and learning, and I, Ding Zhuhuang, will also let Miss Han get her due status according to the original promise. Ding Zhuhuang said.

"It seems that Deacon Ding is very satisfied with the gift I gave. Then I can also feel at ease and accept the return gift from Deacon Ding. To be able to work with an enlightened person like Deacon Ding, I will naturally do my best. Han Taozi said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Ding Zhuhuang smiled, and then invited Han Taozi into the mansion with an invitation word. Han Taozi thanked him, and moved forward with Ding Zhuhuang.

The civil strife in Yaodong finally ended, there was no fierce war, and all the struggles turned into political games. The four want to set up the Dejia Guard and try to benefit themselves; The Dejia Guard, on the other hand, wants to divide and disintegrate the four families, reassert itself, and become the supreme ruler worthy of the name and reality. As for the final result, we can only wait until the end to know.

And Jiangnan, since Fan Kuyi defeated Lu Boding's rebels, has always maintained a peaceful situation. Since the defeat of the Yanbei Righteous Army, Fan Kuyi has never had the intention of using troops on a large scale.

Now, the Yaodong people have been driven out of the Central Plains, and An Yun, who has always been friendly with Jiangnan, has finally completely controlled the entire north.

After thinking about it several times, Fan Yuyi decided to put his wishes back on the agenda. He sent an envoy to Anyun to congratulate the defeat of the Yaodong people in the Xiangu valley, and at the same time expressed his desire for the peaceful unification of the world. He hoped that Xian Guzhong could agree to all this for the sake of the world and for the sake of righteousness, just like Wei Zeng did back then.

Xian Guzhong has been busy with the reconstruction of Anyun Iron Cavalry and monopolizing power, and when he received a letter from Fan Yuyi, he just scolded him for being a fool and ignored it. It is definitely not possible to directly reject Fan Zhiyi. But it is also impossible to make him give up his ambition to dominate the world. had to hold the letter down and not respond to Fan Zhiyi.

When Fan Jiyi sent a letter to Xianguzhong, he also gathered all his cronies and planned to reform the taxation of Jiangnan.

Peaceful thieves, equal taxes, peaceful power, and finally equal the world. Fan Yuyi has never forgotten this great wish.

It's just that most of the officials in Jiangnan were born in Shilin, and most of the Shilin in Jiangnan were born in wealthy families in Jiangnan, and the interests of these three are closely linked. Equal taxation has always been an empty phrase.

Ke Zhengwei was tied by these people back then, and in a fit of anger, he slaughtered the original four great families and suppressed Jiangnan Shilin extremely strongly. But tyranny is unpopular, and Ke Zhengwei's fate is naturally very tragic.

Fan Guyi inherited Ke Zhengwei's legacy, but he also knew very well what Ke Zhengwei was wrong back then, so Fan Guyi has been silently preparing for reform all these years.

As the governor of Jiangnan, Fan Yuyi could not directly interfere in the affairs of the wealthy family and Shilin, but the appointment of Jiangnan officials was firmly in his hands.

On the surface, the number of children of wealthy families in Jiangnan who have been officials over the years has not decreased. But in fact, Fan Jiyi placed them all in some deputy and idle positions. Only those who are truly talented and capable can hold local power and have a place in the cardinal bodies.

After years of hard work, the entire bureaucratic system in Jiangnan has been built like an iron bucket by Fan Yuyi, and the wealthy families in Jiangnan have long lost the ability to influence Jiangnan's politics.

Now that the Yaodong people have been defeated, a worry hanging over Fan Zhiyi's heart has also been cleared, and Fan Zhiyi can finally show his strength and display his ambitions.

A series of plans to reform taxes were proposed, and Jiangnan Shilin and Jiangnan wealthy families were really full of complaints. But all this was expected by Fan Yuyi.

Fu Zuci was appointed as an inspector of Jiangnan, and he roamed around, checking out the hidden dangers that might arise within the bureaucracy. According to Fan Zhiyi's arrangement, Gu Xiangli sent troops to guard the Quartet, and he himself went to the southeast to prevent the most likely problems in the southeast Shilin.

If there is no problem with the whole bureaucratic system, there will be no loss of power, and the various measures of reform will be smoothly transmitted from the Governor's Palace to all localities. There are armies guarding the place everywhere, and the wealthy families who want to rebel have to weigh it.

As long as the reform is deepened and the boat is completed, all dangers will naturally be eliminated. This is Fan Zhiyi's plan, without killing many people and causing a lot of chaos, he can make taxes even and make Jiangnan more stable and prosperous.

It was supposed to be like this, but something happened.

"What? Gu Xiangli was besieged by the southeast Shilin. He brought so many people, couldn't he still deter those who were reading? Fan Yuyi was surprised when he heard the news from the southeast.

"The southeast Shilin said that Lord Gu was a traitor, and it was because Lord Gu deceived the Governor that he would let the Governor do something wrong. Those who read usually have nothing, but for the sake of their so-called 'righteousness', they can do anything. They surrounded Lord Gu, and even jointly wrote a letter asking the Governor to kill Lord Gu. The messenger from the southeast said.

"Damn, I miscalculated. When the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains was made, I asked Gu Xiangli to guard the southeast. In order to ensure the continuous financial endowment of the southeast, Gu Xiangli had a great conflict with the southeast Shilin. In the end, in order to calm things down, I pretended to make a gesture and dismissed Gu Xiangli. Unexpectedly, Southeast Shilin was lucky and dared to openly disobey the decree. Fan said sadly.

"Lord Gu is very dangerous, please ask the Governor to save him. Due to the instructions of the Governor, Lord Gu did not dare to do anything with those scholars, but if it continued like this, Lord Gu would really die. The messenger said anxiously.

"How can you do it to a reader? The disaster of the party destroyed the foundation of the previous dynasty. If I kill all the scholars in the southeast, our entire Jiangnan will be finished. Fan said.

"So what to do? Adults can't dismiss Master Gu again. If you do this, it will not only boost the arrogance of those who read, but also chill the hearts of the loyal ministers who support you. The messenger said.

"Now, I can only go to the southeast in person. You hurry up and go back and tell Gu Xiangli that you can't be impulsive, you can't kill a scholar. But he also has to take care of his own life, and I still have to keep him to do great things. Fan said.

The messenger listened to Fan's words, did not stop, and immediately rushed back to the southeast.

"There is no wind and no waves, Southeast Shilin can make such a scene, there must be someone behind it. I'll go southeast first to appease them. But things can't just be left at that, and if the root cause of the disaster is not removed, something will happen sooner or later. Brother Zu Ci is inspecting the Quartet, so let him find out the mastermind behind it. Fan thought about it.

Fan Jiyi first wrote a letter and sent it to Fu Zuci, asking him to investigate the mastermind behind this trouble. And he himself did not delay for a moment, and immediately went to the southeast.

It's just that the blessings are incomparable, and the disasters are not singular. Just when Fan Yuyi was worried about the trouble in the southeast Shilin, An Yun's Xiangu made another move.

When the news of the chaos in the southeast came, Ken Guzhong was very excited. In order to form 30,000 iron cavalry and monopolize power, Xian Guzhong has not had a good rest for more than a year. But money, food, and armor don't mean that there is one. Elite soldiers need to spend a lot of money and energy to cultivate. Xiangu Zhongkong was in a hurry, but the process was not a few points faster.

But the news of the chaos in the southeast came, and he saw the opportunity to defeat Fan Yuyi immediately.

"A fool is a fool, even if he becomes the governor of Jiangnan, he is still stupid. Do you want me to be like Wei Zeng, promise to settle all disputes peacefully with you, and don't see what fate Wei Zeng will be? I, An Yun, are the strongest now, and I want to be peacefully reunified? In the whole of Jiangnan, there is only one way to go. I originally wanted to clean you up in a few years, but since you messed up Jiangnan by yourself, then I'm not welcome. I didn't have a bottom before, but now you're lost. "Xian Guzhong was ecstatic in his heart, and his heart was ready to send troops to Jiangnan.

The powerful people in the DPRK and China were reluctant to send troops to Jiangnan, but the authority in the Xiangu was in full swing, and no one was stupid enough to confront him in person. Some other loyal ministers with integrity also risked their lives to admonish, but Xian Guzhong insisted on going his own way, and of course ignored them.

Just when Xian Gu was about to recall Bai Zheng and Wu Deli and grant him the right to recruit troops in the south, Shen Deqing came to the government office in Xian Valley.

"You have always opposed me sending troops to Jiangnan, and this time, you won't persuade me not to attack Jiangnan. If that's the case, you don't need to say more. Xian Guzhong didn't wait for Shen Deqing to speak, so he said coldly.

"Xia Guan used to persuade adults not to send troops to Jiangnan. But now the arrow is on the bow and has to be sent. The lower officials will not stop the adults. I have come this time to offer you a few strategies to pacify Jiangnan. Shen Deqing said.

"Oh? It's great that you're going to give me advice. Haha, the person recommended by Mr. Lan Qi is really different. At a critical moment, he can really take on a big responsibility. Seeing that Shen Deqing actually supported him, Xian Guzhong was also happy for a while, so he appreciated.

Shen Deqing listened to Xian Guzhong's words, he was neither happy nor worried, and said his strategy calmly.

"Your idea is very good, I plan to let you follow General Bai to Jiangnan. You can tell General Bai about these plans. A general, a counselor, my hope of victory is even greater. Ken Gu Zhong laughed.

After Shen Deqing thanked Xian Guzhong, he said some more things, and left Xian Guzhong's mansion.

Kentanaka was happy to see that someone finally supported him. Not long after Shen Deqing left, a reply to the question was sent.

Every time there is a big event in the Ring Valley, you have to ask questions, and this time is no exception. Although he felt that asking would definitely not support him.

But Wenwen's reply surprised him, because Wendao did not oppose him, but analyzed the pros and cons of sending troops to Jiangnan and let him make his own decision. In the end, it's just a few words like 'be careful'.

"Oh, this is a true loyal, although I usually disagree. But when it comes to the critical moment, it doesn't hold me back. In the future, we must find more loyal ministers and more capable ministers, so that we can truly achieve a great cause. (To be continued.) )
