Chapter 782: Borrowing Pingkou
Wu Sangui also has a mansion in Guancheng, and when he saw that his eldest brother Wu Sanfeng was crying, his breath was weak, so he hurriedly asked people to help him to rest and recuperate in his own mansion, and raise some doctors to recuperate. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Then Fang Guangchen stayed, because he lived in Beijing and knew about thieves, so not only Wu Sangui, but also Fan Zhiwan, Li Yutian and others kept asking him about the thieves in Beijing.
Fang Guangchen said carefully, I heard that most of the scholars and doctors were brutally added to Sanmu, and the people of Beijing were also broken down from house to house, and the torture was fierce, which was unbearable. Fan Zhiwan and the others all sighed through gritted teeth, didn't think much about it, and only swore an oath with the thieves.
Li Yutian sighed: "I heard that at the beginning of the thieves entering the city, the people all ate pot pulp, but now everyone hates it. The situation has changed dramatically in a blink of an eye, no wonder the successive dynasties and successive dynasties have been prosperous and vigorous, and they have died suddenly. ”
Tang Tong also shook his head and sighed when he heard it, he only hated that he was blind at that time, and now he has no other thoughts, so let's be loyal to Hui Daming.
Fang Guangchen also reconfirmed the fact that the prince fled to Xuanfu Town, and the more officials in Beijing knew about it, perhaps in the near future, it would also spread among the people of the capital.
Liu Zhaoji clapped his hands vigorously, and he laughed and said, "I know that Yang Shuai will not lie to me." ”
Fan Zhiwan also stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The spirit of Taizu Taizong is blessed, and I have not exhausted my great energy." ”
Seeing their elated appearance, a hint of strange color flashed in Fang Guangchen's eyes.
……
Wu Sangui invited Fang Guangchen to return to his mansion, and he called the two servants of the Wu Mansion to inquire carefully, and he hated it even more in his heart, and then the two of them went to the study to talk about things.
Needless to say, Wu Sangui's appearance is both northern and southern, his face is fair and heroic, and he has a calm and calm atmosphere between his eyebrows.
He likes to travel, treat people humbly and cautiously, when he traveled to Beijing, he won the reputation of "fair-skinned and waiting for the least number of years", everywhere he went, he had a legendary experience, and his handsome temperament often caused a sensation. And he is very sociable and attached, and he can win the favor of others whenever he does not show mountains or dew.
When he raised the hidden prison army in Liaodong, Wu Sangui worshiped him as his godfather. When Fang Yizao was patrolling Liaodong, Wu Sangui and his son Fang Guangchen soon became sworn brothers. When Hong Chengchou passed through Liaodong, Wu Sangui and his close staff Xie Sixin became close friends.
At this time, he was Chinese New Year's Eve, the brightest and tallest of men, still calm and courteous, courteous and courteous, and only hid his inner pride and conceit. He once read Guangwu Benji, threw the book and sighed: "Shi Eun is regarded as the ruling Jinwu, and the wife should be Yin Lihua, and Yu Yi's wish is enough!" ”
And Fang Guangchen, as the son of the Ministry of Etiquette, has had a good tutor since he was a child, rich in knowledge, and has etiquette and beauty in every move. When his father Fang Yizao passed through Liaodong, Fang Guangchen lived with his father and also had a wealth of knowledge at the border pass.
After Fang Yizao resigned due to illness in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, Fang Guangchen still maintained close contact with Wu Sangui. In history, he was also an important adviser of Wu Sangui, and together with Liu Xuanchu, he was known as Wu Sangui's powerful left arm and right arm.
Fang Guangchen drank tea, snooped on Wu Sangui from time to time, and saw that he was just holding the teacup in a daze, and after a long time, Wu Sangui put down the teacup and said, "Brother Tingxian...... Prince, is it really at the place of the Marquis of Yongning? ”
Fang Guangchen froze, and he affirmed: "All the officials in Beijing have said so, and all kinds of signs are expected to be wrong. ”
Wu Sangui said: "Yes, only the Marquis of Yongning can send warriors to rescue the prince and others when the capital is in turmoil." ”
He said lightly, not knowing what it was like in his tone.
Fang Guangchen said: "Yes, now that the righteousness of the Marquis of Yongning is in hand, the thief has won the Beijing division again, and he is full of wealth and ambition, and he has no fighting spirit. Yongning Hou knows the military, and he will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity, and it is expected that he will send troops this month to exterminate the thieves. Perhaps, in the middle of this month......"
Wu Sangui muttered: "Brother Yiting thinks that what are the chances of Yongning Hou defeating the thieves?" ”
Fang Guangchen slowly put down the teacup: "Yongning Hou's real strength has always been a mystery, but he is forbearing, and the system under his command is like a strong Qin, he has accumulated a lot over the years, if he attacks, it will definitely be a thunderbolt!" The officials in Beijing thought that the victory of the Marquis of Yongning was sixty percent, but Guangchen thought that the chance of victory was at least seven or eight percent! ”
Wu Sangui raised his head violently: "Brother Tingxian has such a high evaluation of Yongning Hou? ”
Fang Guangchen smiled, and he opened the folding fan with a sigh: "I have never underestimated Wang Dou, the eldest uncle must have also studied Wang Dou, don't you think this person is very familiar with some eloquent people in the history books?" ”
He said: "Not to mention anything else, the Jingshi fell in two days, no one expected it, but he was able to get stuck at that point, send people to rescue the prince and others, and stand out in the siege of thieves, what a skill!" Wang Douyan is a righteous man to rescue...... Oh, righteous. Such a righteous man is either in the official government, or he has long been exterminated, why don't we have such a strong righteous man? And these righteous men also fled west into Xuanfu Town, who are they under Wang Dou? ”
He sneered: "I even suspect that he knows everything about the thieves, and even promoted his avenue, deliberately sitting back and watching the Jingshi fall!" ”
Wu Sangui snorted lightly: "Brother Tingxian." ”
Fang Guangchen smiled, he shook the folding fan lightly: "Of course, this is just the words of a certain Fang family, not enough. Yongning Hou is now righteous in hand, and everyone is looking forward to it, Fang's words can only be rumors in the end.
He glanced at Wu Sangui: "It's the eldest uncle, you don't have any thoughts in it?" ”
Wu Sangui was silent for a long time, and finally said a little decadently: "I swear not to stand with the thief, I hate to eat his flesh raw, but I can't leave lightly from the defense, and a certain military strength is ...... It's not enough. ”
At this, there was an indescribable pain in his tone.
Fang Guangchen stood up with a smile: "In this way, I can only sit back and watch the Marquis of Yongning be proud, and he will have a miraculous achievement." ”
He pointed out: "Let Guangchen guess what the Marquis of Yongning will do after he recovers Shenjing." ”
He said: "The Marquis of Yongning is not comparable to a thief, and the first thing to do in the restoration of Shenjing is naturally to make all officials return to their original positions and perform their duties. Hundreds of officials have officials to do, this official's heart is naturally stable, and compared to the crime suffered in the hands of the thief, he praised the Marquis of Yongning, tsk, this official heart is too easy to win. ”
He said: "The thieves could, and the Marquis of Yongning defeated him and obtained a large amount of wealth, gold and silver, which was not only enough to reward his soldiers, but also to give relief to the people and distribute money, which was enough to run the court for more than several years." This official function was immediately restored, showing the ability of the Marquis of Yongning. The people also have a mouthful of porridge to eat, and if they are guilty of thieves again, they don't want to rebel. …… By the way, Wang Dou still has a newspaper, he must be boasting, fools and fools are the easiest to deceive, they were deceived by thieves first, and what kind of person is Wang Dou? Hehe. ”
Wu Sangui listened quietly, only his hands trembled slightly, and the pain in his eyes became even stronger.
Fang Guangchen continued: "With the ability of the Marquis of Yongning, he will naturally not let go of Jiangnan, and most of the current officials in Beijing have been tortured to death, and there are many official shortages. Regardless of whether it is co-opted or lacking, the Marquis of Yongning will not let the officials in Jiangnan not use it, and will definitely transfer them to Beijing, especially those who are highly respected in China, such as Shi Kefa and others. …… These officials in Nanjing can be real officials, how can they not be grateful to the Marquis of Yongning? It also won the hearts of Jiangnan officials and the people. ”
He said: "In this way, with Wang Dou's ability, maybe in a year and a half, the situation in the Ming Dynasty will return to peace, and then ......."
He gritted his teeth and smiled, "The main event is here." ”
He shook his fan and paced in the study: "First of all, the Marquis of Yongning will definitely implement his Han nationality system in various parts of Xuanfu Town, and then lure him with profits, such as supplementing it with mining and road construction." The Marquis of Yongning accumulated a lot, and was captured by the thieves again, so he did not levy civil labor, but also distributed food and silver to the road builders. Not to mention how much popular support will it take, how much silver will it cost? How much material is needed? And the officials, businessmen, and gentry see the profits of the business opportunities in China, which will not be like a profit-seeking dog, and they all enter the middle ear. ”
Fang Guangchen said: "It's not as clear as the thieves, Wang Dou implements the Han nationality system, this kind of hidden gentry pays grain in one piece, after the thieves' rebellion, it is expected that most of the officials and gentry will accept it happily, and they don't feel pain when they cut people with soft knives." If the people from other places who scrape the ground one by one enter Xuanfu Town, they will all become great good people, and they will laugh to death. ”
He said: "If you don't become a good person, will he Wang Dou earn you this money?" If you want to make this money, which gentleman doesn't need to be a good person? ”
He said with a smile: "Wang Dou likes to build roads the most, I expect that wherever he repairs roads, there will be batches of great good people, and finally good people will gather all over the world!" ”
Fang Guangchen said: "This is one. ”
He said: "Second, in the new imperial examination, Yongning Hou does not have to make a big move, just need to add the Ming Law, Ming characters, and Ming Calculation subjects, and the Ming Jing and Jinshi two subjects remain unchanged." In this way, the minds of the old scholars remain unchanged, and they do not have to work hard to gain the hearts of a large number of new scholars. Looking at the assessment of Xuanfu town officials in that year, there may be more examinations in multiple subjects. How difficult it is for me to be an official in the Ming Dynasty, it is often difficult to get an official and a half position in the cold window for ten years, but how easy it is in Xuanfu Town? There are officials, how many scholars will be grateful to Dade? I heard that from the section level to the ministerial level in Xuanfu Town, everyone can be promoted, and how many officials have the hearts of officials? ”
Fang Guangchen said with a smile: "As for the redundant officials and redundant officials, the Marquis of Yongning is rich and can afford it, and no matter how many officials he has in Xuanfu Town, he will be as prosperous and powerful." ”
He said: "I also heard that there is a Xuanfu Town Civil Academy under the command of the Marquis of Yongning, what is this for, it is to train officials." All officials need to be admitted to the hospital, called training, and all the officials of the Ming Dynasty need to be admitted to the hospital for study and assessment, and then into the middle ear! ”
He said: "There is also the Xuanfu Town Military Academy under the command of Marquis Wen Yongning, what is this for, it is to train and assess military generals." At that time, the situation in the Ming Dynasty was stable, and the Marquis of Yongning had countless elite soldiers and strong generals, and he summoned all the generals to the hospital. Will each learn or not learn, train or not train? ”
He glanced at Wu Sangui: "After the training, I will be transferred to various places to guard, and the east, west, north and south will be transferred to each other, and all the Ming generals will also be in the middle of the ear!" ”
He took the fan and paced in the study, as if talking to himself: "Among the military generals of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Guozhu and others are the number one. It is expected that Yang Guozhu doesn't care, as long as he has a battle and a soldier, he will be satisfied, it doesn't matter whether the generals under his command are still the same votes, anyway, they are also rootless duckweed. In addition, he is good friends with Wang Dou, and the righteous daughter under his knees is Wang Dou's wife, and the Marquis of Yongning will definitely let him lead the original soldiers and horses. ”
He said, "...... Wang Pu, a rich man is enough, I heard that he has been busy with tobacco recently? The ears of mediocre people are not worth mentioning. Liu Zhaoji, similar to Yang Guozhu. …… The rest of the generals are not admitted to the hospital for training, and the conquest is, who can stop the enemy of the Jingbian army? Finally, it's you, uncle! ”
Wu Sangui shuddered and listened to Fang Guangchen continue: "I heard that the Marquis of Yongning hates warlords the most? Zuo Liangyu's death was quite strange back then...... Of course, the best way to deal with it is not to be admitted to the hospital to study, and then after the training, one will be transferred to the east and one to the west, and Guan Ning will be scattered. The soldiers under his command are also in the camp of loyalty? ”
He finally smiled and said, "Of course, the eldest uncle can also show his loyalty to the Marquis of Yongning, and resolutely disperse his family and follow his subordinates." If Wen Fangliang back then, isn't he also one of the five generals under the command of Yongning Hou now? And then bring a reorganized army, there may not be an old general in the army, anyway, the Marquis of Yongning implements the staff system, and does not pay much attention to the personal strength of the generals, and finally fights for the Marquis of Yongning in the south and the north, and receives the weight of the weapon, without losing a good story......"
"Enough!"
Wu Sangui's hands trembled so much, when he heard this, he couldn't hold back anymore, and suddenly shouted.
He turned to Fang Guangchen and said sharply, "Brother Ting Xian has said so much, what do you want?" ”
Fang Guangchen put away his folding fan, he gave Wu Sangui a deep salute, and said with a straight face: "The first emperor is unfortunate, the monarch's father died, and all people of insight hate thieves!" Today, the thieves' hearts have been lost, and the will has left, it is the time when the Shenjing is recovered, and the merit is in Sheji. Uncle, the opportunity has arrived! ”
Wu Sangui said coldly: "Is it just like that? ”
Fang Guangchen said in a deep voice: "Of course not! ”
He said: "How can a great husband not have the heart of fame and fortune? I am a scholar and want to serve the country, don't you want to? Don't have ambitions in your heart? You don't want to take revenge on your country and family? ”
He kept asking rhetorically, his voice getting louder and louder, and finally he roared out: "The thief is extremely evil, honest and red-eyebrow, green forest, Huangchao, Lushan and the like, heaven and man are angry, and their defeat can be waited for." With such a great opportunity, why not seize it? Do you really want such a miracle to be enjoyed exclusively by Wang Dou? ”
He roared and shouted, "What Wang Dou can do, we can also do." Uncle Chang, you should be the one who saved the Ming Dynasty, don't you want to leave a name in history and be praised by thousands of people in history books? Are you really willing to give up your foundation and become a lackey under Wang Dou's command? ”
The green tendons on his forehead were exposed, and he was indescribably excited, and he roared, his voice was like the devil's bewitchment, seducing Wu Sangui's heart.
And his heart is constantly shaking, yes, doesn't he want to avenge the country and his family? How could he not be repaid? What a person who thinks highly of himself, would he think that he, Wu Sangui, would be inferior to Wang Dou? No, he doesn't admit it.
And his foundation in Liaoxi, how can he fish and flesh others? This land is where the foundation of his ambition is located, if Xuanfu Town is Wang Dou's counterscale, he will die if he touches it.
He will not allow anyone to attack his inheritance!
And he knew that Wang Dou was a person, and the decisive party would attack his foundation, regardless of feelings, only the avenue!
Wang Dou wants to promote his Dao, his Dao system, and he will ruthlessly sweep away all obstacles in front of him.
And Wu Sangui knew that Wang Dou was definitely a ruthless person, and he would never show mercy when it was time to attack.
Thinking of this, Wu Sangui's expression was hideous, and he shouted: "Of course I want everything you said, but the troops are insufficient, and there is nothing to do!" ”
Fang Guangchen said softly: "It's not that there is no way? ”
Wu Sangui's breathing became heavy: "Will the plan be released?" ”
Fang Guangchen poked his head over, beads of sweat came out of his face, and finally rolled down, he said softly: "Borrow Pingkou!" ”
Wu Sangui stumbled suddenly, he held on to the desk in front of him, gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "Borrowing Pingkou?" (To be continued.) )
