Chapter 665: Selling fame and reputation is the most important thing
In the night of Lin'an City, a small fortune boat of a thousand stones slowly entered the mouth of the Qianjiang River and anchored on the dock near the fortress of Qianjiang Fort. Now there is a slight recovery in smuggling along the coast of Zhejiang and Zhejiang, but it is not that Chen Dexing deliberately connived at it. Rather, as more and more of the states and counties below the Liangzhejiang Road were occupied by the Ming Dynasty, it was perfectly legal to transport goods into and out of the ports of these states and counties by sea. However, the trade routes between these prefectures and counties and the two Zhejiang-Song control areas cannot be completely blocked, and there are too many rural mountain roads.
Moreover, these prefectures and counties and the prefectures and counties of the Song-controlled region belong to the same economy, and forcibly severing the connection between the two will inevitably lead to many troubles. Whether it is a general of the Ming army or a newly appointed magistrate, they all want to stabilize the local people's livelihood as soon as possible, and they are unwilling to cause trouble.
However, the route from the sea to the port in the Song controlled area was still blocked by the Ming navy. The fact that this thousand-stone boat can ignore the blockade obviously has some special background.
Liang Chongru was now sitting in the cabin of the thousand-stone passenger boat, just looking at the scenery outside. It was dark and only a few tall lanterns lit up. In this faint light, I saw the soldiers of the Gentleman's Battalion standing upright, on guard in all directions.
Weng Yinglong, who was opposite him, smiled at him and said, "Brother Yifu, how are the soldiers of the Junzi Battalion?" They are all talented soldiers. In the whole world, those who serve as soldiers are probably the most knowledgeable. ”
Liang Chongru smiled and said: "There are also guests from the Fuwang Sect, and they are all showmen." It seems that Taishi and King Fu are heroes, and they all know that if a scholar learns martial arts and military affairs, he will definitely be very useful. ”
Weng Yinglong smiled and nodded. Although he did not have a junior scholar, he was also a scholar. As a doorman of Jia Nidao, he has been in contact with practical things for many years. Although they are greedy, they know what kind of people can do things. What kind of people can't do things.
For example, these talented soldiers were useless nerds when they were studying in their hometowns, but now they have experienced so many ups and downs. He also lost the land on which he relied to maintain a comfortable life, and was forced to join the army and learn martial arts...... Such a person has endured hardships, knows what it feels like to have nothing, and also knows that he has to sharpen his head and climb up. There is also a lot less fear of hardship. Naturally, he is a person who can do things.
According to later generations, this is a cadre contingent that can be used to establish political power. Jia Rudao now holds these people in his hands, showing that he is unwilling to give up. Even if the queen of the Great Song Kingdom is Zhao Lin'er. The power is still in Jia Rudao's hands.
Weng Yinglong smiled and said: "Brother Yifu, after all, Taishi is a Song Chen, and he is deeply favored by the country, even if the Mandate of Heaven is not in the Great Song Dynasty, his old man will always have to fight for the Great Song Dynasty." If you can follow the example of the Tang Kingdom, let the Great Song Dynasty temporarily lead the way to eastern Zhejiang. ”
Liang Chongru just smiled and sat there without speaking. Now he is representing Chen Dexing, secretly coming to Lin'an and Jia Nidao to discuss the surrender. He strongly suggested to Chen Dexing. Collect Jia Rudao and his party for his own use, so that several large cities in the two Zhejiang provinces can be saved from war. And Jia Rudao is also a capable official. He is able to do things, and he is very rich. Let him preside over the development of an overseas feudal country, and the effect will definitely not be bad.
However, Chen Dexing did not loosen up, and the name of the Great Song Dynasty could be retained—this was what Chen Dexing owed to Zhao Lin'er—but Jia Rudao must not be allowed to preside over the future Great Song Kingdom. Not to mention that Jia Rudao could not temporarily take a rich place like eastern Zhejiang.
Jia Rudao This old guy is too slippery and stubborn in Chen Dexing's opinion. Although he is a traitor, he is still a little inadequate. More than defeated. But his loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty was beyond Chen Dexing's expectations. Such a character is still more reassuring to be circled. Let him preside over the future overseas Song Kingdom. Who knows what's going to get in trouble?
Of course, Jia Rudao only needs to be willing to hand over Lin'an City peacefully. Chen Dexing will not pursue anything, he can also give him a homing marquis or something, West Lake Geling and the treasures and antiques in it can be kept. If Jia Nidao is not at ease, Jia Nidao's daughter can enter the palace as a concubine.
As for the talent army and the gentleman's battalion, Daming can incorporate them. First according to the treatment of military households, it will be of great use.
In addition, the civil and military generals under Jia Rudao, such as Liao Yingzhong, Li Tingzhi and so on. is also like Jia Yidao, raised in captivity to be a rich man.
Of course, except for Jia Yidao, other people can still be outstanding. It's just that the Ming court won't use them. As for Li Yanguo, the king of Tang, if a feudal monarch like Chen Huaiqing, the king of Fu, wants to recruit them, Chen Dexing will not ask. To open up the world, we always need to use talents, even if they are former enemies, they are not necessarily unusable.
As soon as the boat stopped, Liao Yingzhong walked up respectfully, and the two carriages stopped in front of the dock. When Liang Chongru saw his old friend coming, he immediately stood up and arched his hand: "Brother Qunyu, is everything okay in Lin'an City now?" ”
Liao Yingzhong smiled bitterly, and didn't say anything to this Liang Da famous man who had already climbed to the Great Ming Dynasty. Just made a gesture of a scorn, and then led the way in front. Liang Chongru was invited to the carriage, and the carriage moved together. Liang Chongru sighed in a low voice, as if he was regretting something.
"Yifu, what's the sigh?" Liao Yingzhong knew that he had something to say, so he handed over a stubble.
"For the sake of the people of Lin'an, the people sighed...... The Ming soldiers will converge in Lin'an City in a few days! ”
Liao Ying's head was shocked, he knew that Liang Chongru was not lying. Chen Dexing's army is now scattered and plundered, occupying the prefectures and counties of Zhejiang and Zhejiang. Now 21 counties have been taken! At most, in another month or two, except for Lin'an Fucheng, Pingjiang Fucheng, Qingyuan Fucheng, and Shaoxing Fucheng, the two Zhejiang counties will probably be taken by the Ming army. Moreover, this time, the Ming army also adopted the method of "land reform" while occupying territory. Each county quickly raised 2,000 to 4,000 soldiers, so that the main force of the Ming army did not have to divide troops to defend the city, and all of them could be gathered under the city of Lin'an!
Liang Chongru sighed again, and said tentatively: "The Taishi Gong will not have the idea of repaying the king with a dying death, right?" ”
Liao Yingzhong frowned deeply, with his understanding of Jia Yidao, this Great Song loyal minister was very afraid of death. When it really comes to that moment, I'm afraid I don't have the determination to die, right?
"If you don't want to die, why don't you be a person who understands current affairs?" Liang Chongru said again, "If the Taishi Gong is willing to surrender...... There are always marquises. ”
Liang Chongru is talking about Jia Xiangdao's surrender, not the Great Song Dynasty's "minister", of course, these are two concepts. If it is the Great Song Dynasty "minister", Jia Rudao is still a loyal minister of the Great Song Dynasty. Moreover, the Great Song Dynasty said that the ministers preserved the temple and expanded the country overseas, which was not considered a dead country, and Jia Rudao was naturally not a minister of the dead country, and traitorous ministers could also be famous in history. But Jia seems to want to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, that is the second surname of the slave, betraying the master and treacherous.
……
"Jia seems to be saying that he will not surrender."
At the same time that Liang Chongru arrived in Lin'an, Chen Dexing was drinking with his biological father Chen Dexing in the palace in Zhoushan.
The father and son knelt opposite each other, and in the middle was a low table, on which were a few simple drinks and dishes, all made by Yang Po'er. The flavor is unique, and there is a vague appearance of later delicacies. But in Chen Huaiqing's eyes, it was just some shoddy home-cooked food.
On the side, only Otani Xiaoai is alone, and Xiao Dao Gu has already put on a red coat and is a red-clothed Dao Aunt.
After being promoted to the red robe, Xiao Ai returned to Chen Dexing's side again and served as a court Taoist, responsible for presiding over the heavenly Taoist ceremonies in the palace. But looking at the work she is doing now, it seems that she is Chen Dexing's maid, and she is still the kind that has received the house.
"Won't it?" Chen Dexing picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the purple sunflower wine inside. "He's not afraid of death?"
"How can you not be afraid?" Chen Huaiqing sneered, "Jia Rudao is most afraid of death, but you are sure that you will not take his life...... Lin'er's girl is soft-hearted, if you plead for him, can you really be ruthless? ”
"This ......" Chen Dexing thought for a while, nodded a little helplessly, and begged Lin'er, he really couldn't refuse. But what does Jia seem to say? ”
Chen Huaiqing snorted: "Naturally, it's a reputation for fame!" The monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty like to sell their fame and reputation! How can Jia Rudao be an exception? He is now guarding Lin'an, and he is doing everything possible to extend Song Zuo. When the city of Lin'an is broken, he will definitely close his door and continue to be his loyal and filial son at home. Don't say it's a marquis, even if he is a prince, he won't be tempted. ”
can't die, and can continue to enjoy happiness in West Lake Geling, Jia Rudao naturally has the conditions to sell his reputation and reputation. This is how this loyal minister came. If you really want to catch someone in the legendary Cheka, where else are there any loyal ministers?
Chen Dexing shook his head slightly, "He's not afraid of being annoyed and ashamed?" ”
"Annoyed?" Chen Huaiqing shook his head, "You are the emperor now, and the emperor always respects loyal ministers." At that time, Jia Rudao just won't come out, and he will never be the enemy of Daming. And the best things in the Duobao Pavilion, those beautiful girls from the Jia family will be sent to accompany Lin'er. He smiled deeply and looked at Chen Dexing, "This Jia family is a beautiful woman, and the girls of the Jia family are not under Lin'er, and they are all well-informed women." ”
Jia seems to be a gentleman, but he is very strict with his children, which is famous in Lin'an. Chen Huaiqing originally wanted to ask for a daughter of Jia Nidao for his eldest son, but he did not succeed, and only asked for Jia Rude's daughter.
Chen Dexing looked disdainful, he thought that he was not lustful, yesterday Xiaoai also brought a Tianzhu beauty and said that it was her disciple, Chen Dexing didn't look at it too much. and the eccentric little Aztec beauty, Chen Dexing didn't even have the interest to take a few more looks, so he handed it over to Xiao Ai directly. No matter how beautiful Jia Yidao's daughter is, she can't confuse herself, a wise man. (To be continued......)
