Chapter 195
This kind of fighter plane is fleeting, if you wait for the Northern Han to come to your senses, and then make an agreement with the Liao State to integrate attack and defense, then the Ming State will be in a dilemma, the Liao State will send troops to the south, as the signatory of the peace treaty, will the Ming State borrow the road or not?
And the great water of Zhou, Baili Wuji has already felt it in Yanyun, not to mention, news has also come from Jinling Mansion, and Xuzhou has also been affected by this flood, and tens of thousands of people have been affected.
Fortunately, the Ming State had a surplus of domestic grain hoarding, and the official roads were unimpeded, and the grain stored in Jinling and Jiangdu alone was enough to resolve the food needed by the tens of thousands of disaster victims, and in all parts of the Ming Kingdom, they were not even alarmed.
Zhou is the center of the disaster, and if these millions of refugees are not handled properly, it is very likely to cause riots.
After thinking about it again and again, Baili Wuji replied to Guo Wei, promising the Ming State to donate 30 million catties of grain to relieve the affected people of Zhou State, and let Guo Wei send troops to receive 10 million catties of grain from Yuanzhou, Jiangling Mansion and Xuzhou in Shu of the Ming Kingdom, so that the affected people could be relieved nearby.
At the same time, he used carrier pigeons to send a message to Jinling Mansion, so that Xu Shiming quickly mobilized food in various places to rescue Zhou Guo.
In just half a month, 30 million catties of grain were transported from the three places of the Ming Kingdom to the Zhou Kingdom.
Baili Wuji's good deeds not only moved Guo Wei, but also made the people of Zhou grateful to Dade.
Countless people who have been rescued have a yearning for the Ming Kingdom, and they are even more meritorious to the Ming Emperor, and together with the merits of the recovery of the sixteen states of Yanyun, they have also been publicized four times, and they will be compared to Yao Shunyu soup.
This side effect made Baili Wuji a little proud, and also made Guo Wei feel lost, and even regretted asking Baili Wuji for help in his heart.
Guo Wei after calming down the affected people. took advantage of the situation to shoot at Wang Yin.
In this month, Guo Wei's health is getting worse and worse, in order to clear the obstacles for Guo Rong. Guo Wei was ruthless. When Wang Yin went to court again, he ambushed and served in the palace, took down Wang Yin in one fell swoop, and exiled him to Dengzhou (now Penglai, Shandong). But as soon as Wang Yin was escorted out of Bianliang City, Guo Wei sent people to find a quiet place outside the city, clicked, and cut down.
Subsequently. Guo Wei summoned Guo Rong to come, and the two fathers and sons began to talk secretly.
Guo Wei already had a premonition that his time was short, and he needed to give Guo Rong an explanation.
Removed Wang Jun and Wang Yin. Zhou Guozhong no longer has the old ministers who hindered Guo Rong's succession.
But Guo Wei is now worried about the Ming State in the south, the Ming State combined Chu, Shu, Southern Tang, Wu Yue, Southern Han and other countries, and was strong, although the Zhou State occupied the Central Plains and regarded itself as orthodox. But that didn't stop the Ming Kingdom from going north one day.
The most important thing is that Guo Wei is worried about the existence of a generation of British lords in the Ming Dynasty.
The rise of a nation. It's all in the Ming Emperor's hundred miles of unscrupulous thoughts.
"Rong'er, I feel that my father's time is running out, and I have something to explain when I summoned you today." Guo Wei said to Guo Rong gloomily.
"Father is in the middle of the day, don't say such ominous words, the people of Zhou are still waiting for their father to lead the rich and powerful."
Guo Rong is telling the truth, his position as the crown prince is already a certainty, and it is only a matter of time before he succeeds to the throne, Guo Rong naturally doesn't care about a year earlier or a year later. Now, Guo Wei looks terminally ill. Thinking of Guo Wei's kindness to himself, Guo Rong couldn't help but shed a tear.
Guo Wei shook his hand and sighed: "Rong'er, for his father's body, he knows that now that the natural disasters of the Zhou Kingdom have disappeared, the dissent of the court and the central government has also cleaned up for you, but the real enemy of the Zhou Kingdom, do you know?" ”
Guo Rong's heart was shocked, and he replied tentatively: "Father is ......, Mingguo." ”
Guo Rong's worries are undoubtedly the same as Guo Wei's, he and the Ming army, the previous Black Flag Army had a battle in Shudi, the main general at that time was Yun Yang, although Guo Rong did not admit that Yun Yang was brave above himself, but he was shocked by the Black Flag Army.
Liang, Tang, Jin, Han, and now Zhou, which country's army can not disturb the people? Which country's army has not robbed the people, even if Guo Wei claims to be an emperor from a poor background, and does not turn a blind eye to the Zhou army's entry into Kaifeng to rob the people?
But today's Ming army is different, they really do not commit any offense with the people.
Guo Wei and his son are not so much to be intimidated by the Ming army, but rather to be shocked by the Ming Emperor's unscrupulous means, the emperor who can create such an army, how broad-minded he should be, and this time to save the people of Zhou is to make the people of Zhou yearn for Ming.
Guo Wei closed his eyes and said while thinking: "Rong'er is smart, he originally handed over the country to you, and his father is very relieved, presumably under your governance, it will definitely make the Zhou country's rivers and mountains more stable and the people richer." But for my father, I am really worried about Emperor Ming in the south. ”
Guo Rong said: "Father's concern is very much, the Ming Kingdom is now a strong country, 30 million catties of grain can be assembled within half a month, the warehouse is so abundant, and the government is so efficient, it is really amazing." ”
Guo Wei shook his head and said: "Rong'er only said half of it, what worries about my father is not the wealth of the Ming Kingdom, the Ming Kingdom occupies the land south of the Yangtze River, and the grain production is abundant, this is common sense, the Zhou State occupies the Central Plains, although the grain and straw cannot be compared with it, but it is strong in military strength, the Zhou army has more than 300,000, including 120,000 cavalry, why fear the Ming Kingdom?" ”
Guo Rong was surprised: "What is my father's concern?" ”
Guo Wei sighed and said: "Fool, there are only two words that my father is afraid of, the people's heart." I regret my father, I shouldn't have written to Emperor Ming and asked for help from Ming, but 30 million catties of grain have achieved the reputation of Baili Wuji, and now, the people of Zhou only know Baili Wuji, how can I know Guo Wei. One step is staggered, one step is missing, hey, ....... ”
When Guo Rong heard this, he naturally understood.
But seeing that Guo Wei was so annoyed, he hurriedly comforted: "Father doesn't have to worry too much, my father also asked for help from the Ming Kingdom for the sake of the people, and the people naturally remember the benefits of my father." ”
Guo Wei coughed for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Rong'er remember, the people's hearts are like flowing water, they can't touch it, the first one is invincible, Baili Wuji first blocked my Zhou army from going south with great righteousness, and then won the hearts of the people with 30 million catties of grain, and now he has made great achievements in the sixteen states of Yanyun, how can I Guo Wei look at it, looking at this person at such an age, he can be so scheming, and he can't do it." ”
Guo Rong was speechless to persuade him, so he could only step forward and gently pat Guo Wei on the back to soothe him.
Guo Wei closed his eyes for a long time, and suddenly said: "Rong'er thinks that when you succeed to the throne, after five years of governance, the strength of the poor Zhou State can defeat the Ming Kingdom?" ”
Guo Rong was taken aback, lowered his head and thought for a moment and said, "Rong'er doesn't dare to win, but at least he can be undefeated." ”
Guo Wei was silent.
Seeing this, Guo Rong thought that he had said the wrong thing, which made Guo Wei unhappy, and hurriedly said: "Please don't be angry with your father, Rong'er will definitely take her father as an example in the future, and be diligent in government and love the people." ”
Guo Wei opened his eyes and said: "Rong'er, it's not that you're angry with your father, but that you overestimated yourself and the national strength of Zhou Guo. (To be continued......)
