Chapter 167: The Pressure to Be Alone

Starting from Wang Qing, one commander Tongzhi, two commanders, five thousand generals, and nine generals, all of them were sent to the guillotine, and with the executioner's ghost-headed knife, blood splattered and heads rolled.

On the bank of the Daling River, the people who watched the excitement all applauded. Some people also shouted: "It's cheap to cut off their heads, Ling Chi, don't let any of them go, cut them with a knife!" ”

In all fairness, among the military attaches killed, Wang Qing's dead friends were no more than one-third. Most of the others were soy saucers, they watched the ruffians in chaos, and they also wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob, but they all hit the muzzle of the gun, making Zhang Ke stew with a spoonful.

They are wronged, and they are indeed wronged. But looking at the relieved appearance of the people, Zhang Ke calmed down, the soldiers and ruffians did a lot of evil, and it was time to clean up.

Hou Sui was even more ruthless, killing Wang Qing and others was not fun, so he immediately ordered to pull out all the soldiers and ruffians who took the lead in making trouble and beheaded them one by one.

Suddenly, the river bank cried and shouted, the sword light shone, and the blood splashed, and the river water was dyed a terrifying red. Even the executioners had slashed their arms so swollen that they lost their strength.

The ghost head knife was only cut in half, and blood gushed from the wound, and the undead people kept twitching and rolling on the ground, and they couldn't stop breathing for a long time, it was as terrifying as going to Shura Hell!

"Lord Zhang, it's not that it's despicable and cruel to kill, it's just that making trouble has always been a big crime, and if we don't kill enough, it's not easy for us to explain to the top." Hou Sui smiled hypocritically.

Zhang Ke didn't know his thoughts, he didn't kill more people, how could he invite credit!

"Lord Hou, these people deserve it, but it takes people to transport military rations, so I don't think it's better to kill them all. If you can use them, you will not alarm the common people. ”

Hou Sui nodded hurriedly: "It's still Lord Zhang's kindness." Spare them! ”

The soldiers were frightened by the red river, and every time they cut off their heads, the cheers of the common people were like a talisman, lingering in their ears, and they felt weak for the first time. After doing so many evil things, retribution is really coming!

Some people cry tears, some cry dad and call mother, and some people have incontinence......

Knowing that the sun was going down, the beheading was completely over, and fifty or sixty corpses were exposed by the river. Shocking! Remind everyone that this is the end of going against the general!

The soldiers who were lucky enough to escape did not know that what awaited them was the treatment of life rather than death, and when they worked hard to transport food to the front line, they were let continue to do hard labor, basically exhausted to death!

"Lord Zhang. The lower officials have already prepared the counterinsurgency fold, if there is any omission, please ask Lord Zhang for guidance"

"Hahaha, how can I point out Wenquxing's article!" Zhang Ke said with a smile: "Lord Hou's matter in Yizhou is over. You leave for Liaoyang immediately, I don't know what Lord Hou thinks of the old slave? ”

"Bandits, barbarians, not worth mentioning!"

Hou Sui smiled nonchalantly: "Lord Zhang, forgive your official for saying bluntly, the old slave did everything because of the laxity and negligence of Liaodong's civil and military affairs. If Liaodong can have half of Zhang's intentions. I'm afraid that the old slave has long been wiped out. Now that Yuan Yingtai and Lord Yuan have arrived in Liaodong, they are bound to rise and fall, and it will not be long before they can regain the lost territory. ”

Hou Sui said that the righteousness was strict. In fact, this also represents Qingliu Donglin's view. It's just a pity that their judgment is only half right, if it was ten or twenty years ago, wild boar skin may really not be worth mentioning. But now, the general trend has been achieved, and it is difficult to reverse it.

"Lord Hou, the old slave has been in business for decades. There are tens of thousands of iron horsemen under his command, and his power should not be underestimated. It's just that my Ming army is erosive. If you go out to war, you are afraid that you will repeat the mistakes of the past. You are someone that Yuan Jingluo values. If Brother Hou can tell Lord Yuan more, Zhang would be grateful. ”

Hou Sui knew that Zhang Ke had extraordinary knowledge, and he immediately became worried, isn't Liaodong a good place to make contributions, on the contrary, it is still a big fire pit!

"Lord Zhang, your orders will naturally be ordered, but it is not a secret, all the princes in the court and China advocate counterattacking the old slave. Especially the Ministry of War, the household department, if it drags on, it costs too much money, food, and military salaries, and I am afraid that Lord Yuan will not be able to bear the pressure. ”

In the final analysis, it depends on the meaning of the capital, perhaps only a series of fiascos can completely wake up the arrogant Ming court!

"Lord Hou, I have a strategy here, if you really want to fight, it's best to choose a small fight, concentrate dozens of times the troops, and fight in one go. As long as you can continue to win, you can be regarded as having an explanation for the imperial court, and the top priority is to train the troops first. ”

This is already the best way that Zhang Ke racked his brains to think of, he broke the powerful relationship with Hou Sui, and explained it repeatedly, Hou Kai was of course not stupid, and he was soon convinced.

"Don't worry, Lord Zhang, the lower officials will definitely make a statement to Jinglu."

"In this way, the safety of the people of Liaodong will be entrusted to Lord Hou!" Zhang Ke secretly hoped that Yuan Yingtai would listen to his advice and hold on for a while longer.

Hou Sui stayed in Yizhou for five days, regathered the people and young people, said goodbye to Zhang Keyi, and escorted the grain and grass to Liaoyang.

Sent Hou Sui away, counting on his fingers, it was almost August, and Zhuo 13 secretly sent someone to send a message, saying that since the beginning of summer, Emperor Wanli had fainted many times, and he was afraid that he would not last long.

Speaking of which, being an emperor is a difficult job, experience and prestige are indispensable, and you don't want to control a huge empire without enough experience.

Take Wanli's grandfather Jiajing as an example, alchemy and Jiao cultivation are no less absurd than Wanli, and there is also a big traitor Yan Song in the court, who is tossed into a miasma. But that's the case, and it can still pacify the southeast rebellion.

After Wanli became pro-government, he also won the three major campaigns, which is the benefit of having a long-term monarch. In all fairness, if Wanli holds out for a few more years, the wild boar skin may not be able to take advantage.

Of course, these assumptions are not destined to be true, Wanli's days are numbered, and the next Emperor Guangzong will be hung up after a month. After the Apocalypse ascended the throne, Liaodong suffered several fiascos, but it was good that the Apocalypse was able to reuse Wei Zhongxian and suppress the party dispute, and in the later stage of the Apocalypse, the situation in Liaodong had improved.

But the apocalypse is also a short-lived guy, and when Chongzhen, the king of the dead country, came to power, he relied on the clear stream to govern the country, and destroyed the eunuch party with a bad reputation but could do things, and the situation was completely out of control, and the Ming Dynasty came to an end.

Combing through the context of history, Zhang Ke knew very well in his heart that there was not much time left for him, and he must seize the time to cultivate strength, which was also the reason why he befriended Hou Sui and others. Don't forget that the bold Yuan County Order is also about to appear. If you don't have enough strength, let alone fight against the old slave and restore Liaodong, you will follow in the footsteps of Mao Wenlong!

Thinking of this, Zhang Ke suddenly felt that he couldn't wait any longer. Ordered immediately. The men were all called. Sun Youguang, Li Qian, and Zhenfu Shan Hongtu also participated in the discussion.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Wang Qing and others have been ambushed, and there are many vacant positions in Yizhou. This official is not a stingy person, and the big guys have the opportunity to take a step forward. But you have to show your true skills. Let's discuss today, how to restore the vitality of FΓΉyiju? ”

After Zhang Ke asked, everyone present lowered their heads and thought hard. They have all seen Zhang Ke's strength and followed such a boss. Nothing else will work except for the real thing!

Wang Duowen was the first to speak, "My lord, I have asked you about what you have done in Daqing Fort in the past few days. To sum up, there are three points: strict law and discipline; Xingtuntian; Train strong soldiers. The humble thought that Yizhou should be like this, and then the death of Wang Qing and others, replaced by a group of obedient officials, and divided the land equally. And then train more troops, or in a year or two, Yiju will be able to take on a new look. ”

After Wang Duowen finished speaking. Many people nodded frequently, obviously agreeing with him.

However, Deng Wentong, who had been beside Zhang Ke, shook his head imperceptibly.

Deng Wentong's knowledge even surpassed that of Zhang Ke, and when he focused on the accounts, he quickly got started.

"My lord, with all due respect, if you want to implement the practice of Daqing Fort in Yiju. You have to come up with at least a million taels of silver! ”

Hundred? Ten thousand!

Everyone present seemed to have heard it wrong, this one really dared to say it!

Deng Wentong's face was grim. Calculated an account for everyone present. Daqingbao tuntian, farm tools, ploughing cattle, and seeds were all provided by Zhang Ke. Zhang Ke also had to pay for the construction of water channels, and the wages for the workmen were also paid, and the allowance for the craftsmen was even more frighteningly high. As for soldier training, it burns money, and weapon workshops are also a big black hole.

"The population of Yiju is at least three times that of Daqing Fort, and it costs less than 200,000 taels of silver to plough cattle with farm tools and seeds, and even more silver for building aqueducts and digging drought-resistant wells. The most terrible thing is that you also stipulate that you will not collect rent in the first year, one bucket in the second year, and one out of ten in the third year. In terms of humble calculations, according to this method, the common people will naturally benefit, but in the first year alone, they must come up with 500,000 taels of silver, otherwise they will not want to push it. ”

Zhang Ke was dumbfounded at this moment, even if there is a gold mine, but he can't take out so much gold, this is simply burning money! How much is the annual income of the Ming Dynasty, why does the small Yizhou cost so much money?

"Brother-in-law, did you miscalculate, Tuntian is really such a waste of money, how can Daqing Fort be maintained?"

Deng Wentong suddenly glanced at Zhang Ke, daring to love this guy is really not a family flower!

"My lord, the Daqing Fort and Zhenyi Fort add up to only 20,000 people. It is to exterminate the Xiashan Tiger again, and to kill the White Lotus Sect, plus the reward of the imperial court, how much silver is this? ”

Yes, Zhang Ke counted with his fingers, adding up to almost 300,000 taels of silver, an average of 15 taels on the head of a common man!!

In the short term, a large amount of money was invested in the big place of the Great Qing Fort, which allowed the almost impossible policy to be carried out. After really taking charge of himself, Zhang Ke knew how lucky it was.

"Brother-in-law, the original method really doesn't work?"

"Unless you can get 500,000 taels of silver!"

Zhang Ke rolled his eyelids and said helplessly: "I didn't ask." ”

Wang Duowen, who proposed to build yì, was also dumbfounded, Zhang Ke was not a good money boy after all.

At this time, the chubby Sun Youguang looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and Zhang Ke hurriedly said, "Old Sun, what good ideas do you have?" ”

"You can't talk about good ideas, you just have a few words from your heart." Sun Youguang said: "My lord, you love the people like a son, and the old man admires it very much." However, the old man thought that everything was too much, and if the people were too good, they would not want to forge ahead. To put it mildly, who has a pocket full of silver, and is willing to let the child go to the front line to kill the enemy! ”

Zhang Ke's head suddenly struck a bolt of lightning, that's right, this is not even a future generation where agricultural taxes are exempted, and farming is subsidized. As the so-called mercy is not in charge of the army, it should be squeezed and squeezed.

"Old Sun, what do you say?" (To be continued)
