"How can this be!! These bunch of flower skins are simply daring!! ”
A well-maintained white hand slapped heavily on the table, and in the middle of the table and the big hand were a few notes that had just been issued in the mountains, and the words of the People's Bank of China were showing their identity through the slightly calloused white fingers of the long-term holding of the brush. And the owner of this big hand was sitting on the Taishi chair in a fit of rage, trying his best to calm the anger that had just risen in his heart.
In this study, which was full of books, several people watched the old man's anger and hurriedly echoed the curse to calm the anger of the old man. Currency issuance is a right that only a country has, or a symbol, and these flower skins print their own coins, which is undoubtedly more excessive than those mountain kings in the north, which is almost a big banner to claim the title of king......
In particular, a man in his early forties with a two-handful mustache on his mouth shook his head and sobbed with a sad face:
"My lord, the lower officials agreed to send troops to the conquest when these flower skin rebels just started the rebellion, so as not to make these flower skins bigger and harm the Quartet, and now the lower officials are worried about making it bigger, as the Liuzhou prefect ...... at the beginning."
"Enough!!"
The old man's voice stopped abruptly when he was crying, and the middle-aged man who was interrupted was still a little stunned, but the old man's unceremonious words made him ashamed.
"Do you think I don't know that little bit of your thoughts? Isn't it just that a few years ago, you had something to do with some people in Liuzhou, and you have been holding a grudge and always want to think of an opportunity to take revenge...... Look at your dim sum eyes, the small ones are smaller than the pen sticks, what's the point!! ”
Seeing that the middle-aged man was reprimanded so red-faced that he didn't dare to say a word, several other people in the room tried their best to hold back the smile in their hearts, this person is indeed small-minded, once he offends him, he always thinks about the law to find some field back, and the people in the house are guarding against and avoiding him, just for fear of accidentally offending this villain.
"Now there is chaos in the north, although there is no chaos in the south, but Guangxi has been mob since the opening of the Ming Dynasty, and the last time it was also in Gutian, how much silver was spent, and how many soldiers and soldiers were recruited to finally destroy the chaos? ……”
Although all the people present had not experienced the counterinsurgency campaign more than 60 years ago, it cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from Liangguang at that time, and thousands of birds from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces were also sent and troops from other provinces were gathered to finally extinguish the Gutian Rebellion, which lasted for a hundred years, which can be described as a huge cost, and now because of the tense situation in the north, let alone raising money and food from other provinces, even the little silver grain that has always been insufficient in this province must be squeezed out to support the northern war...... You said that there is no problem with conscription and suppression, and you can immediately send troops if you send money, people, and food! Can't figure out these three...... What to do, what to do!
"My lord! Can Xia Guan dare to say a word......" Just when everyone didn't dare to answer, a voice came from the corner of the room, everyone turned their heads to look, only to see a middle-aged man in his thirties pleading to speak, he is the youngest official among all the people here, and he doesn't dare to speak very much, I don't know why it came out today when everyone dared not speak. After getting the old man's acquiescence, the man said without humility or arrogance.
"The people in Guangxi have always been in turmoil because of the grain and salt classes, Xunjiang, Fujiang, and Bazhai are nothing more than this, but this time the Gutian Huapi people change seems to be ......different."
"Xia Guan carefully read every report from the beginning of this Gutian Flower Skin Rebellion, and Xia Guan found that although this Gutian Flower Skin Rebellion resembles the descendants of the Rebellion 60 years ago, its behavior is definitely different from that of ordinary Rebel Mountain Barbarians. In the past, the mountain barbarians changed their actions, relying on the ruthlessness of their courage and blood, the disorderly and unruly rules of war, and the comparison with the rabble has been high. Even if the rebel people in the north are now called kings, they lead the rebels like insects and locusts to cross the border, swallow grain and plunder wealth, and they will not be able to live in peace and order at all. ”
"These skins are so powerful that they are not related to the sharpness of their firearms. According to the careful words, although these men are all soldiers, they can attack and defend in a moderate manner during the battle; Xia Guan once carefully investigated from Gutian to obtain his guns, this guns are made of fine steel, the steel products are very better than those produced in Guangdong, and the tools are made of fine parts, but they are tightly fitted and expanded freely, which is very exquisite; If it weren't for the inability to understand what was inside the fire-raising copper cap, and the imitation of this gun made a thousand pieces, the sharpness of the firearms on which these flower skins relied would naturally disappear. ”
"And these skins can not only smelt stones and cast guns and cannons, but also know the art of marching. After the capture of the new land, Huapi's governance is also quite orderly, and the rules and regulations for pacifying the people, suppressing the chaos, and restraining the troops are all effective, unlike in the past, after conquering the new land, they only know how to rob the grain and slaughter the people, annihilate the silver, and plunder, and its security and civil affairs are very high-level, and they can even open schools to educate and set up medical institutions to buy people's hearts......"
When the middle-aged man said the last sentence, he noticed that the old man's brows twisted slightly, and he understood that the old man was also very angry about the fact that the flower skins were opening schools and the people's religion was chaotic and correcting the system, but what made him feel a little relieved was that the old man did not let him stop, so he continued:
"Although the school and teaching set up by Huapi are rebellious, but if you think about it carefully, they are not like burning books and destroying words in the past, which shows that these mountain barbarians are not short-sighted; They were methodical, they were able to teach and set up medical institutions, and now they also make money and sell it, but they have never raised the banner of rebellion in the public to make a name for themselves...... The lower officials dared to guess: these flower skin leaders either have no ambitions, or they have other plans......"
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, the bearded man jumped out and reprimanded and declared his sense of existence:
"Zhong Shuqing, what is the purpose of this? Do you want to exonerate those flowers? DO YOU KNOW ......"
"Shut up!! Get out!! ”
The old man's second remark made the man with the eight-character beard immediately shrink back, because the old man's voice was full of anger, of course he knew that he had just declared his existence and found the wrong time. It's just that when he retreated, his vicious gaze was directed at the middle-aged man, and he counted all the humiliations he had suffered on his head...... Alas, a villain is a villain, and the middle-aged man was hated by this villain for no reason......
"Shuqing, lean forward to speak......" The old man motioned for Zhong Shuqing to move closer and continue to speak, it seems that the old man is still a little interested in Zhong Shuqing's words. In your opinion, what should you do to these flamboyant people? ”
The old man's words seemed to be plain and unremarkable, and they meant to consult, but Zhong Shuqing knew that if he answered unsatisfactorily, then he would not only offend the villain for no reason just now, but also cause the contempt of the old man with real power in Guangxi, and his future career ...... It's already a blessing to say that it's covered with a layer of ash, don't be wearing small shoes every day, and be framed for no reason......
However, Zhong Shuqing didn't seem to be afraid of these consequences, he was very confident in his judgment and strategy against the flower skin rebels, even if it really didn't work, at least it wouldn't cause the old man to be angry again.
"My lord, Xia Guan is only shallow in his studies, and he doesn't dare to say that he has a strategy to quell the chaos in Anbang, but according to Xia Guan's observation, these flower skins are not only chaotic and do things, but they are not similar to the previous mountain barbarians who killed and plundered, and they can start classes and schools, and their intention seems to be to do it for the sake of peace and order; If you can persuade the recruitment to be used by my Ming Dynasty, with its brave guns and cannons, and can produce guns and cast cannons, it will not only save the province from the chaos of war, but also may be able to put a heart for the emperor to quell the rebellion against the enemy......"
Zhong Shuqing's proposal is actually not new, as early as when these flower skins laid down Gutian, some people had made this move, but at that time they thought that these flower skins were not very powerful, as long as they sent troops to conquer and suppress, they could naturally quell the rebellion, and every time they suppressed the rebellion, it was a good opportunity for the people below to be promoted and make a fortune, and they won the war and had their merits, and after the rebellion was suppressed, they could grab the land and occupy the land, and the voice of Zhao'an was immediately suppressed...... You are so dripping off people's financial and official careers!!
In the face of dense and accurate guns, especially in the mountainous environment, many people have proved with their lives: you can't run in the opponent's gun line with only two legs......
After many successive failures, no one dares to say anything like the rebellious people of the flower skin, and whoever says you will lead the troops yourself...... Even later, even the words and phrases of Huapi and Gutian have become sensitive words, and they must not be mentioned in front of the old man, in case he asks about it...... Are you making things awkward for yourself or trying to hurt others......
However, today, Zhong Shuqing once again proposed this method of recruiting peace, which was immediately unanimously approved by other people present, and some people even threw a look of gratitude to Zhong Shuqing, thanking him for solving the dilemma for himself who was worried about this matter.
Now that the flower skin has become bigger, you definitely don't want to beat these flower skins, whoever goes will find death! And although the method of recruiting is good, do you dare to guarantee that if you go to Zhao'an, you will be able to succeed smoothly? If it doesn't work, the two armies won't fight to come back alive, but in case the other side cuts off your head in a fit of rage...... Hmph, this kind of thing is better for someone else...... Those barbarians are no ordinary rebels......
And you, Zhong Shuqing, took the initiative to ask Ying to be a lobbyist, you did the risky thing, and if you failed, you carried the black pot, and it became a benefit for all of us...... Well, Zhong Shuqing, we owe you a favor, I won't cheat you if you come back alive......
Among them, the old man twisted his long beard and pondered for a moment, although he didn't like the actions of these flower skins, but I have to say that now there is really only one way to recruit An, and this matter is not only good and harmless, in case these flower skins are too big, and the emperor who reported to Yanjing caused Long Yan to be angry...... But if it can really recruit peace, then maybe it is really like Zhong Shuqing said, using its firearms and soldiers to get some political benefits in the north......
The old man didn't think about it for too long, and he was naturally not too indecisive in his decision:
"So...... Then there is a book of labor...... clearing" (To be continued.) )
