Chapter 390: Fierce Argument
"Lord Zhao, when will the money and grain arrive here, all the soldiers and people are waiting to be fed, and how many lives are at stake. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Zhu Dadian's face was righteous and awe-inspiring, showing that he was a good official who was worried about the country and the people.
"My lord, Zhao Lie will hand over 100,000 taels of silver to the two adults first." Zhao Lie arched his hand and said, "As for the remaining silver taels, cough cough, it's not too late to wait until the will of the imperial court is promulgated." ”
If you don't see a rabbit and don't scatter an eagle, Zhao Lie will definitely not give all the silver taels before he sees it.
"Then it's too late, I can't wait for the food and rewards of the soldiers everywhere and the help of the people." Zhu Dadian shook his head and said.
"Zhao doesn't believe the two adults, but he can't trust the cabinet princes, but I'm afraid that he will be empty-handed." Zhao Lie also shook his head.
"Lord Zhao is a person from Denglai, and when you see so many people starving, how can you bear it in your heart." Gao Qiqian couldn't help but sneer, don't you always advertise that you are a person who lives in Denglai, and you can't bear to leave your hometown and sell your reputation.
"My Zhao family has been giving rice porridge and clothes in Jinghaiwei and Shidao since the catastrophe, from the apocalypse to today, my Zhao family has countless people in Denglai, and everyone in Denglai knows it."
Zhao Lie looked at Gao Qiqian coldly, and said in his heart, when I am waiting for countless living people, what kind of intrigue and bullshit are you doing, there are still five people and six people here,
"However, many people paid taxes to support the officials and soldiers, and when the disaster came, they saved their lives at all, and after the rebellion, the court could not take out the rice and grain for relief, hehe, I don't know how the princes of the court can bear it."
One sentence made Gao Qiqian's face white, turn red, "You,"
"The two adults don't want to argue," Zhu Dadian hurriedly stopped. scolded in my heart, you especially figured out who was asking for whom, and if it really caused a civil rebellion and a military mutiny, how did you and I end up.
"Lord Zhao, as long as you use the money and food for Denglai's aftermath. The officials who want to come to the cabinet and the Son of Heaven will certainly not ignore it, and the will to praise the merit will will be issued as soon as possible. ”
"The lower officials are young and ignorant, and they don't know anything about the cabinet officials, and the most admired Ming officials they know are Zhang Keda, You Shilu, and then there is the compassionate Zhu, so the lower officials don't dare to pray that the cabinet officials will issue their will as soon as possible, and the money and grain can only arrive in turn." Zhao Lie's expression was regretful.
It was also very clear that he didn't know anyone in the cabinet. There is no confidence in their integrity, and the most important thing is that Zhao Lie has no confidence in Emperor Chongzhen, who has always been very wary of him.
Everything that is said to be good has to be nodded by this master, and if he repents, things will be very troublesome.
The three of them had a fierce dispute over this, and even Zhao Lie and Gao Qiqian blushed and had thick necks several times, all relying on Zhu Dadian to neutralize the mud, so there was no conflict, and in the end Zhao Lie just agreed to offer 100,000 taels of silver and 50,000 taels of silver first. The other step is not granted.
"Look at the way he looks, whether he is a subordinate of the Ming Dynasty. Why is it so difficult to be loyal to the country and share worries for the emperor. Looking at Zhao Lie's leaving, Gao Qiqian scolded.
Zhao Lie's exploits are more than enough to become the head town of Denglai, even if he enters the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, there is no need to let more, but the court and the emperor have repeatedly suppressed and guarded against it, and no one will be disheartened, Zhu Dadian slandered.
"Tall, sir. Now that the whole city of Dengzhou is under its control, what will we do? ”
Of course, on the bright side, Zhu Dadian will never offend Gao Qiqian, a celebrity in the heart of the emperor, and being able to supervise the army to quell the rebellion this time shows the weight of Gao Qiqian's heart.
"This fang's heart can be punished. It was really self-defeating to ask for an official position with the imperial court and the Son of Heaven. Gao looked at the Zhao Lie guards who were leaving in the courtyard with a sinister look.
"Lord Gao, the Zhao family controls Dengzhou Town and Shuicheng, this is the foundation of Denglai, although we say that we command an army of 30,000, but Liaozhen will collapse with it, and the other general soldiers are not worth mentioning, if the Zhao family is angered, there will be another Denglai change, not to mention that I will wait for the end, just say that there is a second army of 30,000 in the imperial court." Zhu Dadian is colorful.
He scolded in his heart, in the end, he was wandering among the women and children within the palace walls, and he was really narrow-minded.
Gao Qiqian heard this, and then silently, of course he knew that it was impossible, the ravages of Jiannu Belle in Liaodong and Xuanfu Jizhen and the endless civil unrest in Shanxi, Shaanxi and Henan, had exhausted the money, food and elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, this time the transfer of these soldiers from Liaozhen was already the limit, if it was transferred again, who would stick to the mountains and seas of Ningyuan, would it be possible to let Jiannu drive all the way to Gyeonggi.
"Zhao Lie's department is strong, and the elite soldiers of Liaozhen are not opponents, if they crusade again, this official estimates that there are no 100,000 troops, don't think about it." Zhu Dadian's face sank like a waterway.
Nima, you know what is going on, you find me a hundred thousand soldiers, what you do, who cares about you.
"Where are there 100,000 elite soldiers in the imperial court now?" Gao Qiqian smiled bitterly, he was walking in the inner court, and now the court is embarrassed to what extent, how long live the lord is clumsy, he is clear.
"In this way, we have to appease, after all, Zhao Lie is attacking Jiannu, can't we force him to Jiannu." Zhu Dadian's words are amazing, and the persecution is too much, who knows what Zhao Lie can do, and who dares to say that it is impossible with the example of Kong Youde.
"This is impossible, how many Jiannu's soldiers Zhao Lie killed, Jiannu can contain him." Gao Qiqian shook his head.
"Hehe, how many Jiannu soldiers did Zu Dashou kill, how was he, how many Jiannu soldiers did Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming kill." Zhu Dadian said leisurely.
It's really uninformed, there's no way to live, these are trivial things.
"This." Gao Qiqian really can't refute it, Zu Dashou's surrender is confirmed, and now his sons and nephews are on the Jiannu side, as for Kong Youde and Geng Zhong's clear intention to surrender to the Jin State if they are invincible to the official army, Zhao Lie even presented them with letters of collusion with Jiannu, and even a letter from Huang Taiji to Kong Youde, from their point of view, Huang Taiji is quite eager to seek talent, and he is not to blame for all the past.
"Lord Gao should give a letter to the emperor at this time, and tell the details of Denglai, after the corruption of the Confucian thieves here, now the soldiers have all destroyed the rice and grain, if you don't make any rectification, I am afraid you can't stop the Jiannu from coming to the sea." Zhu Dadian reminded him.
"No, Jiannu doesn't have a sailor at all, how can he cross the sea." Gao Qiqian shook his head and said, literati just think too much.
"Jiannu has no way to forcibly recruit sailors from North Korea, as long as the infantry can be transported, it is enough, can the small boats of the Denglai sailors stop them now, that is, there are more than 20 big ships in the Weihai Division." Zhu Dadian looked at this Gao Qiqian, and he didn't know what Long Live liked about this idiot, so he let him supervise the army.
"Hiss," Gao Qiqian gasped, it was really so, how could the Denglai Sailor who only had more than a hundred dilapidated boats stop Jiannu, the warship Taiban of the Tianjin Navy Division was also trapped here, only the Weihai Navy Division still had twenty lucky ships, if Jiannu knew, whether he could attack it, it was really hard to say.
"It seems that this Denglai has to settle down as soon as possible, otherwise Jiannu will get the news... Gao Qiqian thought that this might be pale, as far as he knew, Jiannu did not borrow a sailor from North Korea, but North Korea refused.
It's just that North Korea is not as good as it used to be, and the Li family is obviously neutral on the wall, so it's really impossible to say when he will fall to Jiannu.
Zhu Dadian has the urge to cry, you elm head finally knows how powerful it is here, it is really not easy, now Zhao Lie may not dare to do it here, but if the Ming court and Zhao Lie clash, there will be another Denglai rebellion, Jiannu may not give up this opportunity.
"No, I'll report to the emperor as soon as I go back," Gao Qi said here, patting his thigh, "Alas, it's cheap Zhao Lie." ”
He didn't want to help Zhao Lie get promoted from the bottom of his heart, but it seemed that there was no way, if the emperor didn't nod his head, it dragged on for a long time, and the soldiers and people of Denglai had no food and salary to appease the chaos, and Zhao Lie didn't have any actions because of this, and he didn't have enough heads to cut off.
"Well, the official also has to hand over the fold to the cabinet and report the matter one by one, if the cabinet does not allow it, the official can only resign and return home." Zhu Dadian sighed helplessly.
If the cabinet does not allow it, he asks himself if he has no ability to clean up the mess in Denglai, so he should hand it over to Chen Yingyuan, he resigned and returned to his hometown to avoid it.
Because if the court does not allow it, he suspects that Zhao Lie will not give in, so that the official army and Zhao Lie's subordinates will have the possibility of starting a war immediately, and the war will be rekindled, and in the end, no matter whether the court wins or loses, the court will put the hat of appeasing the unfavorable on him, after all, the situation is so corrupt that there must be a scapegoat, he is the most suitable.
Three days later, Zhao Lie sent 100,000 taels of silver to the governor's office, Zhu Dadian was overjoyed, he hurriedly issued a reward of 50,000 taels of silver to the soldiers who came to help, although it was still a lot worse, but after all, it appeased the mood of the soldiers.
Another 50,000 taels of silver will be sent to the various guards in Denglai, although it can only be more than a month's salary, but after all, many guards have settled down and have hope, in fact, the Chinese people are the most content with the status quo, if they also have the opposite thoughts, it is definitely a big problem.
Five days later, rice and grain worth 50,000 taels of silver arrived in Denglai, and Zhu Dadian also presided over the distribution of rice porridge in Dengzhou, Huangxian, Pingdu and other places, giving the displaced people a little hope to live, waiting to calm the spark of the people.
After doing these things, Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the urgent situation in Dengzhou was alleviated.
Of course, they did not forget that Zhao Lie's army still controlled Shuicheng and Zhencheng, and Zhu Dadian sent Yang Yufan, the general soldier of Changping, to escort more than 1,000 rebel prisoners, as well as the heads of Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Wang Zideng, and Li Jiucheng's father and son to return to Beijing, and it was necessary to sacrifice prisoners to His Majesty the Emperor.
At the same time, they also sent fast horses to report to the Beijing Division, describing the situation in Dengzhou in detail, reporting to the cabinet and the Son of Heaven, and also reporting worries, asking the cabinet and the Son of Heaven to decide, in fact, it is a complaint, if the court does not make a decision as soon as possible, the days of Dengzhou will not be able to live.
