Chapter 109: Reorganization of the Wolf Soldiers

Cai Jing nodded, and Lu Bing suddenly asked, "It seems that you have a lot of criticism of the emperor's decision?" ”

Cai Jing raised for a long time, and replied as if he had made up his mind: "Exactly, the first emperor was merciful, but it was a big mistake to withdraw the wolf soldiers from all over the country. The principle of recruiting wolf soldiers is not based on nationality or nationality, even if it is the most heinous criminal, as long as they can fight bravely among the wolf soldiers, they will not be blamed in the past. It is quite the meaning of the Qin Dynasty, Zhang Hanli Mountain tortured prisoners. Such a group of people, although they have done too much under the constraints of the imperial court and the leader of the wolf soldiers, still have some concerns, but once they are released into the mountains, there will be endless troubles. It can be said that most of the elites in the rebel army are the veterans of the wolf soldiers. It was the first emperor who created the current situation of the Gutian rebels, and also caused the current predicament of my Ming Dynasty. ”

"And what do you mean?" Lu Bing asked, and Cai Jing replied: "Re-recruit wolf soldiers, so as to weaken the enemy's strength and conquer the enemy." ”

Lu Bing was puzzled: "I understand that the use of razor to rule raze is nothing more than letting the wolf soldiers fight against the Gutian rebels, does the so-called weakening of the enemy's strength also refer to the blow in the battle?" ”

Cai Jingdao: "Not exactly, as long as the wolf soldiers are re-recruited, there will naturally be people among the rebels who will come to vote, so that they will be used by the court and turn against each other." ”

"Why? Aren't the rebels at odds with the imperial court? Lu Bing was puzzled.

Cai Jing smiled: "My lord, what's the matter?" ”

Lu Bing lowered his head and pondered for a moment and smiled: "I'm busy and confused, I understand, ordinary soldiers rebelling is nothing more than a way to live and a bowl of food." The rebels can give what the court can give, and the court can give more. Let them have excellent equipment, plenty of food and grass, which the rebels could not give. Equally. Once he became a wolf soldier of the imperial court, the private salt over there became official salt, and from then on, he put on official clothes, and he no longer had to bear the charge of being a thief. ”

"Your Excellency is wise." Cai Jing sent a sycophant and said: "These people are naturally hot-blooded, and they have a belligerent factor in their temperament. However, now that the anti-thieves are strong, it is difficult for our wolf soldiers to be mainly Zhuang people, because the generals of the anti-thieves are all Zhuang people. The main force is also from their own tribe, and they all bring relatives, even if they are willing to come to vote, we don't have to worry about it. Blessings and misfortunes lie in ambush, and blessings rely on. But that's why it's even more convenient. As far as I know, there are still people of other nationalities among the rebels, Yao and Miao. Dong. The Gelao, Maonan, Yi, Hui, etc., they can all be used. They are not valued in the rebels, and they always rush to the front, but when they are rewarded, they are always Zhuang generals, and the contradictions between them have long been intensified to the realm of no return. All you need is a little provocation. ”

Lu Bing poured Cai Jing a cup of tea, and then said, "Brother Tingyi." You are really a talented person, no wonder the imperial court wants to transfer you out of here for great use. Win over a group of people and suppress a group of people, smart and clever. I'll leave this matter to you, drink tea and drink tea, this is the ancient tea tree left by Lu Yu in the legend, which was picked by the saint, and it was given to me by the saint, and there are only a few taels in the whole country. ”

At the end of the tenth year of Jiajing, the wolf soldiers in Guangxi were reorganized, and the prosperity was monstrous, with as many as 80,000 people, full of combat power and excellent equipment. The Ming army withdrew to the border between Guangdong and Yunnan and Guizhou, and defended along the city, while the main army was missing.

In fact, the reason why Lu Bing was so anxious to withdraw his troops also stemmed from the letters from Yu Dayou and others on the southeast coast, as well as the secret letter from Wu Su, the abbot of Shaolin Temple. The letters from the two sides generally expressed such a layer of meaning, the Japanese invaders scattered their actions, the battle line stretched extremely long and unstoppable, and they could only be forced to defend, and they needed to send additional troops, otherwise it was inevitable that there would be fish that slipped through the net. At the same time, Mi Thirteen White Feathers led the crowd to appear in Jiangxi.

At the beginning of the war, Lu Bing fantasized about the whereabouts of Bai Yu and others, thought that they might be in the northwest, thought about Gutian, and even thought about Annan, but he didn't expect Bai Yu to be mixed in with the Japanese bandits.

It's not that Bai Yu is merciful or unkind to harm the people, but because compared with the strength of several parties, the Japanese are the weakest, and they should not even be able to go to the shore and be wiped out in the sea by Shen Yew. How did I know that Tusheng had changed, and the Japanese had become a big disaster and landed in the Ming Dynasty, so I could only sigh. also missed a good opportunity for Bai Yu to be buried in the belly of the fish, but it was too late to regret it, and the matter was irreparable.

However, at the same time, a touch of gloom also crossed Lu Bing's heart, could it be that Bai Yu and the others had already known about it, so they chose to mix in the Japanese and enter the Ming Dynasty, so it means that all this is the collusion between him and Shen Yew!

In the face of such a situation, Lu Bing must return to help, the coast already belongs to the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also an important land for tax revenue and grain in the Ming Dynasty, so there must be no loss.

But before going back, Lu Bing also laid out another game, that is, the discord plan. The leaders of the rebels are not stupid, and they will never be easily fooled, not to mention that the discord plan has been used for thousands of years. However, this divisive plan has been tried and tested, no matter which dynasty and which generation will have someone tricked, this stems from human nature, but the inner defense and distrust of others, as long as the slightest jealousy or other factors ignite, it will be out of control. The interests of high-ranking people are even more so, and they attach great importance to their own power and status, so they will be more suspicious of others and worry about others snooping, which will become easier to fall for the scheme.

Lu Yao knew that Ma Ma would be popular with the people, and all the contradictions would accumulate deeper and deeper, so Lu Bing ordered to indulge Wei Yinbao, who had a relatively hot personality, and try to retreat, and to crack down on Wang Zhenhu, and widely circulated rumors of cooperation between Wei Yinbao and the imperial court. There is no wind, no wind and no waves, the lie has come true 10,000 times, Lu Bing wants to put a long line to catch big fish, and wait for them to kill each other.

What will happen in the future, I will write in the future, and talk about the palace in the capital.

Zhang's family waited for Zhu Houyu to bathe and change clothes, Zhu Houyu, who had not stayed here for a long time, also had to be a dragon and phoenix Chengxiang once, and he was in a good mood today and naturally came to the queen. To be honest, this queen is still not what she likes, after Queen Chen was kicked to death by Zhu Houxi, Zhu Houxi was sad for a long time. Three months later, when the new queen was elected, Concubine Zhang was elected. After the election in the harem, Zhu Houxi originally wanted his biological mother Empress Jiang to operate, but the minister did not allow it, and insisted that Zhu Houzhao's mother, Empress Dowager Zhang, be the abbot, because according to the etiquette, Zhang is the justifiable queen mother.

Zhu Houxi is unwilling to make another storm for this matter, he is enough to choke after the big ceremonial incident, don't make trouble if he calms down, whoever is the queen is the same, anyway, there are many women in Zhu Houxi's harem.

Zhu Houxi, who governs the country with etiquette, must follow the etiquette law, not to mention that as he grows older, he understands that the game of power is not only about resisting and criticizing each other, but sometimes it is necessary to compromise with each other and make appropriate concessions.

However, choosing Concubine Shun as the queen, Zhu Houyu didn't have much opinion, when choosing a concubine, it was Zhu Houxi's own idea, although this Concubine Shun didn't say that the country and the city were overwhelmed, but she couldn't bear to have a good skin, fair and lovely, not to mention how tender it was. With this, it is enough to make up for all the shortcomings, so the Zhang family became the earliest batch of concubines in the first year of Jiajing, which was September of the first year of Jiajing.

Then, with the continuous enrichment of Zhu Houxi's harem, Zhu Houyu has been difficult to take care of this Shun Concubine Zhang, and now there are more beautiful little girls and servants in the palace, and he is too busy to be a groom every night, who can remember the concubines who have been placed for eight or nine years. However, the choice of queen cannot only depend on the kung fu in bed, but also depends on her identity, and it is impossible to be promoted directly.

Look at the group of concubines, either they are lonely in the empty palace and unbearable, and the loneliness has already disappeared, or they are already past their age and are not very good-looking. Only this Shun Concubine Zhang is not bad. Zhu Houxi secretly thought to himself, it seems that the Empress Dowager Zhang has performed well this time, and finally did something authentic. Although this queen inherited the favor promoted by the Empress Dowager Zhang, she will definitely go more intimate in the future, but it is still good after all.

But one day in the ninth year of Jiajing, Zhu Houxi suddenly learned a news that this Empress Zhang and Zhu Houzhao's biological mother, Empress Zhang, are relatives. Zhu Houxi was annoyed, he was not angry at this level of kinship, the harem party was as serious as the court, but he didn't tell him in advance because of what he wanted, Zhu Houxi had a feeling that he had been teased. I can't get out of my heart with a sullen breath, I am the king of a country, the Empress Dowager Zhang is the queen mother and can't be angry, and the Empress Zhang is the mother of the country can't go too far, it's like swallowing a fly, feeling nauseous but not spitting it out.

The whole person is Zhu Houxi's best play, so on the grounds of following the ancient law, let the queen take the lead in raising silkworms in the palace, and wanted to toss the queen, but the queen did this, and other concubines also had to accompany her, and the northern suburbs were full of Zhu Houxi's concubines, which made Zhu Houyu himself a loner in the palace. If a plan can't be reborn, Zhu Houxi and the queen led the six palaces to listen to "Women's Training", and after they finished speaking, they asked the queen to read it more than ten times, in short, how to toss and how to come.

Later, the situation in the country was very good, and after Lu Bing and Zhu Houyu got back together, they became better and better, and Zhu Houyu gave up the idea of tossing the queen. Thinking about it carefully, the queen is not bad, dignified and generous, and she doesn't have much of a temper with herself, which is much better than the Chen family who was kicked to death by herself.

Career is the backbone of a man, Zhu Houxi's world is peaceful and peaceful, the Huangzhuang harvest is going smoothly, and Lu Bing and the Shen family also have a lot of money every year, even if they make the treasury, it is also full, so Zhu Houyu is in good spirits at happy events, and it is much more pleasing to the eye when he looks at Queen Zhang.

Zhu Houxi was overjoyed with the successes and decided to eat in the queen's bedroom, and when he finished bathing and changing, the dishes were already on the table. Zhu Houxi said while eating: "Lu Bing has been really good recently, how many years has Jiayuguan been lost, he took it back to me as soon as he came out of the horse, I am really Bole, I can know Lu Bing, a thousand-mile horse, or a fierce horse." Just ask the world, who can tame him? In fact, what I rely on is nothing more than wrist and family affection. (To be continued......)
