Chapter 1091: Poison Scheme
Wu Dui, the word Junze, the number Huanzhou, is a Jinshi in the thirty-eighth year of Jiajing, one subject later than Tang Yi, and he is still a third-class Jinshi, a typical late entry, and poor education. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info but now it is the right deputy capital of the imperial history, the governor of Henan, as the feudal official of the Central Plains, the promotion is fast, it can be said that it is almost the same as taking a rocket.
Many people say that Wu Dui can rise up because he is a native of Shaoxing, and he is a fellow villager with Tang Yi's sworn friend Xu Wei, and he is a disciple of Xinxue, and he can climb to the throne of governor by climbing Gao Zhier.
Most of the people who say this are frustrated people in the officialdom, seeing that others are doing better, their hearts are unbalanced, and they suffer from pink eye.
Wu Dui can have today's status, purely a knife and a gun, he was originally the head of the military department, because of his outstanding political achievements, step by step to rise to Langzhong, and later Tang Yi raised troops to destroy me, Wu Dui is responsible for logistics grain and grass, 100,000 troops, 300,000 people, 200,000 livestock, he arranged properly, there was no mistake at all.
Since then, Tang Yi has remembered Wu Dui and sent him to Datong as a deputy envoy for military reserves.
Don't look at the shift of the center of gravity of the imperial court to the south in recent years, there is basically no major war in northern Xinjiang, in fact, there is still a lot of chaos, for example, the Yongshao Department has twice raised troops to attack Dabansheng. The unlucky Shunyi king Dacheng Taiji fought to the death, but who caused Tumut to suffer too much, and he was too young to convince the public, and was beaten to the ground.
Fortunately, Dabansheng City was reinforced by the Ming army and strengthened with cement, and the Yongshao Department did not succeed.
Seeing that the grassland was about to be in chaos again, Wu Dui personally commanded the troops, 8,000 foot cavalry, rescued Dabansheng overnight, and under the first battle, killed more than 5,000 Yongshao cavalry, and relieved the siege of Dabansheng.
He still refused to give up, and united with the Qilagut Department, the Ordos Department, and the Tumut Department to besiege it on all sides, and completely wiped out the Yongshao Department.
It stands to reason that this kind of great hero should be reused, how did he transfer from the frontier to the Central Plains?
It turned out that Wu Dui had done too much, the rules on the grassland, wiped out a tribe, and there was no way for the young and strong to live, with the wheels of the carriage as the standard, and those who were higher than the wheels would be killed.
After breaching the Yongshao garrison, several other tribes were ready to do the same, but Wu Dui sent a four-wheeled carriage.
Zheno and Daesung Taiji studied for a while, but they still didn't understand, but fortunately there were smart people, and Zhong Jin circled around the carriage and told them, "Go and kill people, and leave no one behind anything that is taller than a wheel!" ”
What are you kidding?
The wheels of the four-wheeled carriage are much shorter than the Mongolian carriage, only 90 centimeters at most, while the carriage of the steppe is at least 1.2 meters, a foot difference!
What is the concept of this ruler?
Originally, eleven or twelve-year-old boys, who were shorter, could live, but according to this standard, four or five-year-old children would be executed!
Vicious!
It's so ruthless!
How dare they disobey the order, they can only raise the butcher's knife and kill one cleanly.
When the blood flowed into a river, Wu Dui was late, looking at the corpses all over the ground, and kept shaking his head.
"Cruel, it's so cruel, how can you do it? The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. If you are not punished, how can you convince the people to come and take away all the captured women to the officials! ”
All the women, not even the dolls in the swaddling clothes, were not left behind, and they were all taken away, leaving only a few cattle and horses for these three.
It didn't take long for the men who moved to the grassland to farm and herd horses all had daughters-in-law, not only did they have daughters-in-law, but some even bought the girl and kept it for their son as a child daughter-in-law......
Wu Dui encourages intermarriage everywhere, acts as a matchmaker every day, and fighting is a good opportunity.
He tossed for two or three years, and the result was that Tumut and other departments not only did not recover, but also caused the loss of people, seeing that it was going to be unsustainable, every time they entered the capital to pay tribute, they all cried bitterly with the Ministry of Rites.
Long Qing couldn't bear to plead, so he had to transfer Wu Dui back to the capital from Datong.
In the face of such talents, how could Tang Yi waste it, he found an excuse to directly promote Wu Dui and went to Henan to be the governor.
Wu Dui's ascension can make many people's eyes red, they have learned Wu Dui's style, so that the frontier is old everywhere, Dacheng Taiji and others have no way at all, or in a few decades, the entire grassland will have the blood of the Han family, becoming a veritable bloodline family.
Leaving the frontier and arriving in the interior, Wu Dui was not as proud as expected, on the contrary, the heart of the Central Plains was constrained everywhere, and it was very difficult to do something.
Take this time King Zhou rebelled, Wu Dui was inspecting the drought in Henan Mansion, and as soon as he turned around, King Zhou took Kaifeng. Wu Dui was furious, and immediately wanted to mobilize people and horses to take Kaifeng back.
It's just that beyond his expectations, the cabinet actually ordered him to guard the Yellow River defense line and prevent the king of Zhou from crossing the river.
Wu Dui's eyes almost fell, they are a rabble, can they compare with the cavalry of my answer? As soon as they left, they killed King Zhou, why let them become bigger?
The court was not confused, Wu Dui continued to write to ask for war, but the result was that the cabinet's rhetoric became more and more fierce again and again, telling him that he must strictly defend the defensive line.
Obey the orders of the imperial court, even if you are defeated, you will not be punished, if you disobey the order, you will be corrected even if you win!
Faced with the bastard's order, Wu Dui simply hid in the mansion, drunk and dreamed of death.
It's time to do it, and this one is still full of wine!
"Brother Junze, sure enough, he has the demeanor of a general, Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, and his face did not change."
Wu Dui rolled his eyelids, "What Mount Tai, at most it is a mound of earth, it's not that I have a big heart, it's the court that is inexplicable, it's your master, inexplicable, and I'm not afraid of raising carbuncles, right now Zhou Wang and his gang have gathered fifty or sixty thousand people, known as 100,000 troops!" ”
"So much?"
Shen Shixing shouted in a low voice: "Brother Junze, you didn't lie, did you?" ”
"What am I lying to you for?" Wu Dui rarely became serious, and swept away his tired face, "Lord Shen, don't hide it, at the beginning, King Zhou was in turmoil, and there were few responders, but the subordinates of the royal palace, plus some clan disciples, can make up one or two thousand people." But since the locust plague, more and more people have taken refuge in them. ”
"Why is that?" Shen Shixing said curiously.
"Isn't King Zhou willing to go out to get food!"
As one of the kings divided by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, the Zhou Wangfu has been inherited for nearly ten generations, living and multiplying, and there are tens of thousands of people in the clan alone, plus the slave family, the number is very large.
Tang Yi implemented the clan reform before, and the Zhou Wangfu was also greatly impacted, but the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and the Zhou King Zhu Zailing was still more enlightened and very popular.
After Tang Yi killed Empress Dowager Li, Zhu Zailing got the news, did not eat or drink for three consecutive days, wore linen and filial piety, cried bitterly in the north, pointed to the sky and scolded the earth, and denounced the traitor.
Then gathered the people of the palace, and while Wu Dui was inspecting the place, he immediately seized Kaifeng.
Even Zhu Zailing wasn't sure how long he could last, he just wanted to be a little foolish, and as soon as his head was hot, he made a decision. Who knew that God was helping him, and a sudden locust plague swept through the Central Plains. Originally, Henan was an important base camp of science, and there were conservative scholars and landlords everywhere, who were affected differently by Tang Yi's new policy.
After the locust plague broke out, these people preached everywhere, saying that Tang Yi had committed a crime, killed the Queen Mother, and wanted to usurp the Ming Dynasty, and these locusts were sent down by God to punish Tang Yi.
Except for the thieves, the disaster will never stop.
Under the instigation of the common people, they ran to Kaifeng one after another, and gathered two or three hundred thousand people in one go, and King Zhou and his gang selected young and strong people from among them, and organized and trained people, and gathered 50,000 or 60,000 people.
"At present, in Henan, as long as there is food, there is nothing that cannot be done, let alone being a soldier to fight, even if it is to buy a life, there are people who are willing to give it!"
Shen Shixing couldn't help but feel numb on his scalp, "Brother Junze, is it really so bad?" ”
"Then it doesn't need to be said, Lord Shen, you'd better talk to Lord Shoufu, as long as the imperial court can allocate money and food, immediately provide disaster relief, attract the people from King Zhou and his gang, and pacify King Zhou, only in the palm of your hand."
Wu Dui said earnestly, but another thought flashed through Shen Shixing's head.
It was not easy for King Zhou to take out food for disaster relief and gather tens of thousands of people and horses!
"Brother Jun Ze, do you estimate how much grain King Zhou can have in his hands?"
"This ......" Wu Dui pondered for a long time, and said: "I estimate that there are at least three and a half hundred thousand stones, which have been accumulated by the royal mansion over the years, as well as other clan contributions, and there are also 80,000 stones of grain stored in Kaifeng Mansion. ”
Shen Shixing nodded frequently, "Then Brother Junze thinks how much grain can King Zhou get?" ”
"It's not easy to say, Lord Shen, they all say that Henan is short of grain, but in fact, it may not be the case, those big landlords' homes, grain hoards are full, and when it comes to the famine year, they desperately store grain. Seemingly inconspicuous landlords, their grain can feed one or two thousand people. The king of Zhou has been making a big deal of officials these days, and the landlords of the prefectures and counties have contributed a lot of grain, and in my estimation, he should have about a million stones in his hands, or even more. However, the consumption of raising troops is very large, and the harvest this autumn is seriously reduced, and the Zhou Wangfu may not be able to last long......"
Wu Dui told him in detail what he knew, and after hearing this, Shen Shixing became more and more happy, and couldn't help laughing.
"Sure enough!"
Wu Dui still didn't understand what he meant, "Lord Shen, could it be that you have a clever plan?" ”
"I don't dare to say a clever plan, but it's not difficult to break the seal." Shen Shixing lowered his voice, "Brother Jun Ze, your suggestion just now is very good, but I think it may be better to do the opposite." ”
"Oh? What does Lord Shen mean? ”
"Didn't King Zhou give up food and help the people, he might as well drive the disaster victims to his side, he can manage hundreds of thousands of people, maybe millions of people? As long as the grain in King Zhou's hands is eaten up, the rebels will collapse, Brother Junze, what do you think of this solution? (To be continued.) )
