Chapter 171: Jiangnan Upheaval
Wang Huaqiang was like a child who had done something wrong, and muttered: "That eldest grandson Sheng faked the holy decree, why is he okay?" ”
Gao Xi's face sank, and he shouted: "Changsun Sheng falsely preached the holy decree for you, to put it bluntly, it was also because of you, because he felt that he had pitted you in Xingxing Gorge, owed you a favor, and owed you something, plus the matter of the princess of Dayi had been resolved at that time, so he felt that it would be okay to help you once, but even so, it was a strict violation of the order, and everyone behaved like you, and did not listen to orders, so how would the old man manage the country in the future?"
So this time it's not just you, Changsun Sheng was also punished, punished for a year, originally with your merits, there is no problem for him to be promoted to the fourth grade of Kaifu Shangyi, this time it is not considered, it is still the position of the general of the chariot cavalry, Wang Huaqiang, you were killed together with Changsun Sheng this time, are you embarrassed to say others? ”
Wang Huaqiang didn't expect that Changsun Sheng would also be unlucky with him, but after thinking about it, this time he drove himself out and continued to deal with the Turks, and he had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, Princess Dayi was definitely going to be finished, Dulan Khan's violent temper could no longer tolerate her, and the Dayi princess who lost the support of Da Sui's annual coins would have no use value, as long as Da Sui re-mentioned peace, she would definitely be killed by Dulan Khan himself.
And this next matter of harmony, if nothing else, it must be the responsibility of Changsun Sheng, relying on this credit, the promotion of officials and knights is just around the corner. is far more reliable than his own southern expedition with an unknown fate. Last time, at least Gao Xi personally promised himself a five-grade Yitong, but this time he didn't even mention it, looking at this frame, it would be good to be able to restore his own nine-grade school scholar.
Thinking of this, Wang Huaqiang wanted to cry without tears, blaming himself for being greedy for a while, and forcibly asked for the Bao's brothers and sisters, so that he falsely passed on the holy decree and intimidated Dulan Khan, which almost caused a war between the two countries.
The only thing I can talk about masturbating is to get the tens of millions of dollars, at least to open Elysium Villa and the horse racing archery range.
Wang Huaqiang gritted his teeth and raised his head: "Gao servant shooting, this time the grass people know that they are wrong, they must be cautious in their words and deeds in the future, devote themselves to the country, and no longer have any selfish thoughts." The grass people went to Yangzhou and reported to Yue Guogong. ”
Gao Xi suddenly showed a smile on his face: "Hua Qiang, there is no need to say such negative words, the old man admires your talent very much, don't even say anything because of this incident, don't give advice, in that case, you will not be able to make meritorious contributions, Yue Guogong has always rewarded and punished clearly, and the meritorious soldiers under him must be recorded, this time he has the power alone, and there will be no situation where General He and General Han competed for merit last time, you can rest assured." ”
Wang Huaqiang suddenly realized that he didn't know anything about the situation in Jiangnan now, and he couldn't enter the state immediately after he passed, and on the way, with his own identity, he couldn't even live in the official post, even if he used the light of the wheat iron rod, he could only live in the lowest-level petty officer's post house, and he couldn't get in touch with the high-level military situation at all.
So Wang Huaqiang also put on a smiling face, and said to Gao Xi: "Gao Servant, you also know that the grass people were all working in the Turks a while ago, and the news was blocked, and I don't know what the situation in Jiangnan is now, I'm afraid that this situation will not help immediately, can you bother to introduce the situation there?" ”
Gao Xi nodded: "This matter is the main reason why the old man is waiting for you here, Wang Huaqiang, if you don't have selfish intentions, your strategic military vision is very good, and this is also the point that the old man values you the most."
The laws of the Southern Dynasties have always been lax, allowing the clans to recruit a large number of tenants and farm for them, and some of the lynchings of these clans are often better than the decrees of the government, so after we conquer the Southern Chen, the local officials who want to directly manage the common people as they did in the north will face great resistance from the clans.
Shangshu's right servant shot Su Wei, and made a special "Five Teachings" in response to this situation, which is mainly to persuade people to be kind, asking them to treat the officials of the court as their parents, and ask them to find the government to solve something, not to know that there is a big clan as before, and not to know that there is an official government, Su Fu's idea is very good, but there is trouble in implementation. ”
Wang Huaqiang thought of the current affairs that he had talked about with Changsun Sheng after leaving Yangguan, and interjected: "Is it that some high-ranking officials and important ministers only care about their own wealth in Jiangnan, which has provoked a popular uprising?" ”
Gao Xi's face changed slightly, and he shook his head: "There are reasons for this, but not the main reason, most of the officials sent to Jiangnan are conscientious, and they are also seriously implementing the "Five Religions", but some people have gone too far, and they want the people in Jiangnan to recite this, and those who can't memorize it will be punished." ”
Wang Huaqiang's eyes widened: "This is okay?" I'm afraid no one can stand it. ”
Gao Xi sighed and said with a wry smile: "Exactly, and judging from the current results, this move is tantamount to making enemies with the entire Jiangnan Shi clan, if these people lose the ability to control ordinary customers and tenants, then the current family property will be lost sooner or later, plus there are indeed some people who take the opportunity to make money and enjoy luxury, and give these people the truth, so they go in tandem everywhere and incite the people who don't know the truth to make trouble." ”
Wang Huaqiang was silent when he heard it, it was obviously a good policy, but because he was in a hurry, he did not pay attention to the ways and means in the process of implementation, which caused a civil uprising, but he was afraid that this result was not something that Yang Jian, Gao Xi and Su Wei could think of, in contrast, Yang Jun, the king of Qin, was not greedy for enjoyment and did not resent the entire Jiangnan Shi clan and caused a large-scale rebellion.
Wang Huaqiang also sighed: "In this way, is the whole Jiangnan reversed now?" ”
Gao Xi's eyes became dim, and he nodded sadly: "Two months ago, rumors began to circulate among the people in the south of the Yangtze River, saying that our dynasty was going to move all the southerners to Saiwai, and this rumor began to spread from Zhejiang, and soon spread throughout the Sanwu and Minyue regions, and it was impossible to stop it at all.
Under the influence of these rebels, there are Cai Daoren of Le'an, Gu Ziyuan of Suzhou, Gu Shixing of Jinling, Wang Guoqing of Quanzhou, Zhu Mowen of Jingkou, Li Chun of Jiaozhou and others, each of whom is called the governor of the capital, more than 670,000, less than 78,000, attacking the county and the whole territory of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in Nanchen, basically all of them are reversed. ”
Although Wang Huaqiang was fully mentally prepared, he didn't expect things to be so strict, opened his mouth wide, and exclaimed: "Could it be that the imperial court has no army in Jiangnan?" Let the traitors make such a big noise? ”
Gao Xi sighed: "The emperor doesn't want to leave the impression of a high-pressure military management in Jiangnan, so after the destruction of Chen, the army retreated and disbanded, and the 500,000 army in addition to tens of thousands of people who are conquering Lingnan, and 70,000 or 80,000 people scattered all over Nanchen, have now been disarmed and returned to the field, that is, most of the 780,000 people who stayed in Nanchen are still the original Nanchen's surrendered troops, and most of them have rebelled with the rebels this time."
Pity the officials of my Great Sui, many of them have been caught by the rebels, some have their stomachs cut open and their intestines have been pulled out, and some have been chopped into mashed meat and eaten by these barbaric rebels, shouting while eating, see you let us recite the "Five Religions" again!"
When Wang Huaqiang heard these sensational atrocities, he trembled with anger: "The emperor is tolerant enough to the southerners, but these guys are so wolfish and ambitious, and they do such inferior things, they should have been ruthless in Nanchen at the beginning, and they should have subdued these beasts!"
Gao Xi waved his hand: "Destroy Chen's first battle, attack the heart, this is right, this kind of atrocity mainly comes from those rebellious leaders, and it has little to do with the people who were bewitched by them and didn't know the truth, they used this way to let their people eat the meat of our Sui Dynasty officials, and also broke off the idea of surrendering these people, counting on these people to fight to the death with us to the end, Hua Qiang, do you have any good solution to this?" ”
