Chapter 69: The Man Who Can't Be Provoked
"There are 1,000 forbidden troops in the city, dozens of post soldiers, and tens of thousands of people, it should be easy to deal with just a few bandits, Lord Hao, what do you think?"
The border army is no longer able to fight against this bandit in the mountains, because the foreign race outside the Saiwai should enter the hinterland of the Han nationality, so it is even more crazy, there is no way, Zhao Guangyi can only hope that Hao Jian can help him eliminate this bandit as soon as possible.
For example, in terms of transportation, although these bandits did not dare to directly plunder the border army, they would still block the passage and affect the road. Sometimes when you are arrogant, you will directly plunder the border army, and you can't prevent it.
"The situation in the city, Lord Wang, you don't know, who is the background of the county Cheng Li Xin and his gang, whether the rich businessmen are colluding with the bandits outside the city, and the power of the Wenxiang Sect is constantly growing in the surrounding districts and counties. The situation can be said to be complicated, the reason why those aliens dare not attack Qingxi County is that they dare not provoke this powder keg, do you want to see us blow ourselves up for fun? β
The tranquility of Qingxi County is the final result of the game of several forces behind it, but if one of them accidentally misfires, then what awaits Qingxi County is a catastrophe.
"Also, the 1,000 forbidden troops look scary, but the combat effectiveness on the spot is not at all, in case it really fights, it is not as powerful as mountain bandits and bandits!"
With a sigh, Hao Jian shook his head and said.
As the last guarantee of the dynasty, as well as the most powerful combat power, and the last trump card, the main role of the forbidden army is to defend the capital and protect the capital. But because of this, the forbidden army is far away from the battlefield and has not received the baptism of the battlefield, and it is okay to line up and shout slogans in peacetime, but if they really go to the battlefield to fight, they are much worse.
With such a silver-like pewter spear head, it is simply self-defeating to fight against fierce bandits and ferocious aliens.
Therefore, according to Hao Jian's assumption, good steel is used on the blade, and this forbidden army still stays in the city to scare those with ulterior motives, but they know that there is still a strong armed force in this city.
"Forbidden Army, Forbidden Army. Alas, this will not work, that will not work, shall we just wait? β
Zhao Guangyi was worried, he dug a pit for himself at the beginning of the period, and now he found that he couldn't jump out, and the pit was too deep for himself.
"There is no way to go down, and we can only wait for this state at present."
Hao Jian nodded, agreeing very much with this method.
"You Hao Jian, what can you wait for?"
Hearing this, Zhao Guangyi came out of anger and scolded Hao Jian angrily.
Not only Zhao Guangyi was a little anxious, but even Li Daozheng on the side beat his chest and pointed at Hao Jian viciously without speaking.
"Lord Wang, the lower officials like to plan and move. I don't know the friends and enemies in front of me, the situation is unknown, or wait and see, wait and see, when the water is clear, the matter is clear, and dealing with those Xiaoxiao is not a matter of being caught? β
Hao Jian smiled and said towards Zhao Guangyi.
"Why are you so greedy for life and afraid of death?"
Glancing at Hao Jian, Zhao Guangyi sighed: "I really don't know why you came up with the three strategies to govern Qingxi in the first place in the Jinluan Palace!" β
"Three strategies to govern Qingxi?"
Hao Jian frowned, he didn't seem to have made such a thing, right?
"What's the matter, Hao Dianyuan has forgotten?"
At this time, Li Daozheng suddenly opened his mouth and looked at Hao Jian with a smile.
"At the beginning of the imperial examination, you were not a third-class scholar at that time, but a first-class jinshi, if you hadn't fainted in the Jinluan Palace in the end, no one would have doubted that you would be the champion with the three strategies of governing Qingxi. But at the beginning, you were not angry, and in the end you were dismissed from the first class, punished as a third-class and given the same Jinshi background, and also gave the Dianyuan background. β
Hearing this, Hao Jiancai suddenly realized, it turned out that his predecessor was so hanging, but unfortunately he was one step away from being the champion, it seems that the three strategies for governing Qingxi should be what Hao Jian came up with before.
"So that's it? I was seriously ill at the time, but now I find that I have forgotten many things, Lord Li, remind me. β
Hao Jian spread his hands and said helplessly.
Glancing at Hao Jian, Li Daozheng sat up straight and continued: "At the beginning, the Holy Admiral Qingxi County was used as the final exam question to test all the scholars: 'There is a county, located in the border, the location is dangerous, but there are evil cults inside, there are mountain bandits outside, and its officials **, the people's will is not attached, can there be a good policy?'" As soon as this question came out, not only Shizi was shocked, but even the officials were taken aback, such a question even a veteran of politics for many years could not answer in a short time. β
After pausing again, Li Daozheng looked at Hao Jian and said, "But at that time, Lord Hao was very different from now!" A Confucian righteousness, after waving his hands to attend, he said the three strategies of governance, and immediately won the full house: 'First, rectify the officials, rule by the people, and recover the hearts of the people; second, sweep away the evil spirits, punish their first evil, and break their muscles and bones; Third, based on the people, with the county town as a shield, divide the mountain bandits, focus on prevention, supplemented by transformation, and then unite with the government soldiers to eliminate them in one fell swoop! Then Lord Hao, you fell down gorgeously in a loud applause......"
It turned out to be like this for a while, Hao Jian nodded, I'm afraid that this method can be figured out by just one person, it's so simple, it's empty words and clichΓ©s throughout.
"That's right, it is based on these three strategies that I am writing to the imperial brother and asking him to place you here to help me relieve the trouble of Qingxi."
Zhao Guangyi also nodded and said to Hao Jian.
So that's it!
At this time, Hao Jian suddenly understood why Zhao Kuangyin didn't let him go to so many counties without knowing the county, it turned out that the root was here, which was planned by someone early on. Whoever answers this question in the imperial examination and conforms to the official ideology will be directly delegated.
And fortunately, Hao Jian actually fainted in the Jinluan Hall all of a sudden, so the emperor used the topic to play, first belittled Hao Jian's achievements, and gave an extremely insulting title of Dianyuan, which is the first time that the last place in the palace examination has a title to express his disgust. In the end, it was relegated to the border, which was reasonable and could not tolerate the slightest suspicion of others.
"Alas, I also figured it out later, my three strategies are complete nonsense. First, political officials, but there is no one around me to use, and the people's discouragement is even more dependent on evil spirits, how can they be cured? Second, the evil has a deep foundation, and it is unwise to move the whole body rashly! Third, the bandits are intertwined, and it is not yet known whether the officials and businessmen behind them are in the same spirit, and it is tantamount to asking for a dead end when they move towards them! It's not that Hao is afraid of death, but he is unwilling to make fearless sacrifices. β
To deal with this kind of false and empty rhetoric, Hao Jian is naturally very easy to handle.
In this case, what you say is not unreasonable. But now that the military situation is urgent, something will naturally happen if you consume it like this! There are many dreams at night, or not! β
Zhao Guangyi shook his head, he was very conflicted now, what Hao Jian said naturally made sense, but the current situation could not wait.
"Lord Wang, please be relieved, please give me another month. Now that some of the ghosts in Qingxi County have come out of their heads, I think it won't take long to sort everything out. β
Hao Jian also guessed Zhao Guangyi's worries, but he didn't take it to heart.
Now that he has crossed paths with He Yanzheng, it is naturally only a matter of time before he wants to know about the affairs of the wealthy business group. As for the officials, Li Xin and Chang Wei will not escape, and they can naturally see a lot of things when they observe slowly. On the side of the Smelling Fragrance Sect, the holy woman has already emerged, and it is estimated that their next move should also appear, so I can't remember.
"There is still a month to go until midsummer, since Lord Hao said so, I will accompany you in Qingxi County!"
After thinking for a while, Zhao Guangyi spoke.
"Lord Wang, what about the city defense of Longyu Pass?"
Hao Jian glanced at Zhao Guangyi curiously and asked in surprise.
It was not only Hao Jian who was surprised, but also Li Daozheng. You must know that Zhao Guangyi accused him of being a town guard in Longyu Pass, and he was a town guard for generations, which was his responsibility and his obligation.
"Oh, you don't have to worry about the city defense."
Zhao Guangyi sighed and responded to Hao Jian and the others: "There is General Wang Furen who is responsible for guarding the town, because of the mistake last time, General Wang said that I was helping out there, so he asked me to temporarily come out to inspect the city defense of the rest of the county orders, don't disturb him to defend against foreign clans!" β
After speaking, Zhao Guangyi spread his hands and looked very relaxed.
Looking at Zhao Guangyi's movements, and what he expressed, Hao Jian had already guessed what kind of expression Wang Furen was when he knew the situation, and anyone with a little military common sense knew that such a low-level mistake could not be made. But it was actually a prince who made this mistake, a prince who was responsible for guarding Longyu Pass for generations.
"In this way, the prince will rest in Qingxi County for a while, and by the way, let's investigate the affairs of Qingxi County together."
Li Daozheng is an old man after all, and he quickly found a high-sounding reason to exonerate Zhao Guangyi.
Zhao Guangyi also borrowed the donkey from the slope and nodded: "That's what I mean." β
Hao Jian sneered a few times in his heart, it turned out that this prince was also a little helpless, and he was actually driven out by his subordinates for a reason, which can be regarded as a strange one.
