The matter at this head was almost done, and the minor injuries among the wounded were basically recovered, and Lian Delu finally fell to the ground with a stone. If there is no uncle this time, I am afraid that no matter how high my martial arts are, I will not be able to protect these many silver taels. If the eldest lady hadn't been fascinated by Uncle Guo, it would have been thankful that the Cangtou Army hadn't followed and robbed, how could she still expect them to quell the chaos?
Seeing that Uncle Guo was about to leave, Lian Delu said: "This time, thanks to Uncle Guo's help, those gentry were restrained." It's just that the slaves and maids want to come, and they have been offended very badly in this matter, but I am afraid that in the future, they will have some revenge thoughts, and they must not be guarded against. ”
Zheng Guobao said: "Lao Lian, it's good." Thinking about it enough, it seems that it is no problem for you to hand over the mining tax here in Shaanxi. You have to remember that our fines are an end, not a means. When collecting taxes, you must not have any kindness, and do not have any scruples, because if you scruples, there will be big problems. As for the gentry, don't be afraid of them, I'm going this time to pull allies for you and find reinforcements. When the time comes, who will dare to resist taxes and not pay taxes? ”
He originally wanted to go back to Huashan, after all, there was another person there who was deeply attracted to him. But Biyun insisted that he go to Ningxia and see Bi Bai. The intention of this is naturally impossible to hide from people. Originally, Zheng Guobao wanted to destroy the Bi family as soon as possible, but now, he has another idea, first squeeze its value.
Now in the Ming Dynasty, Dongli Xima is all Jiangmen. Its Middle East Li has single-handedly created the Liaodong Jiangmen system, dominating one side, although those ministers can kill military attachés, but there is nothing they can do in the face of this kind of generals. Li Chengliang has been dismissed several times and reinstated several times. The fundamental reason is that he has an official position as Li Chengliang, and without an official position as Li Chengliang, those generals in Liaodong already recognize this person, not a simple position.
Compared with Bibai, he is actually much weaker, he does not have such a strong influence on the ground in Ningxia, and the reason why he was able to successfully create a mutiny later is still the problem of the financial and border officials of the Ming Dynasty. The capital silver of the imperial court was the main source of military salaries for the border army, but the civilian officials in charge of transportation had to drift away, and the military attachés in charge of leading the troops had to drink the blood of the soldiers. In the eyes of those benevolent gentlemen, instead of putting this military salary in Qiu Ba's hands, it is better to use it to build a academy first, or to improve the lives of students, so that they can still have a good reputation, why not?
At that time, the trilateral general system and the governor of Shaanxi not only did not limit this situation, but adopted a conniving attitude. And the Beijing Bank in hand was deposited in the silver number, and I wanted to eat some interest. What's more, after the autumn season, it is to be rewarded, and when the military salary and reward go down together, isn't it possible to get some confusion from it, and make a sum?
Therefore, the rebellion of Bibai is not so much that he mobilized countless soldiers and generals to follow him to rebel, but that the soldiers and generals have long been dissatisfied with the imperial court, and he just lit the fuse. At the beginning, the slogan of Bibai was also to seek justice for the border army and recover the soldiers' salaries, and in addition, the governor of Shaanxi, Dang Xin, ignored the actual situation of the border army's lack of salaries, and also collected the land rent of the border army's reclamation, and finally led the situation out of control. The killing of Shaanxi Governor Dang Xin and others belonged to Shuntian, so the border army was willing to actively help.
When he raised the banner of Prince Bi and established himself as the king, he colluded with the captives, and the inside and outside should be in harmony. The 200,000 border troops on the three sides no longer supported him, but sat on the wall and watched. In the end, those who were willing to go against him all the way were only his son, Yizi and other backbone troops, as well as the troops who were forced to stay in Ningxia. It can be seen that its objective status is limited to one public opinion, and it cannot be talked about to raise its arms and respond to thousands of people.
If you talk about why the border army does not participate in the counterinsurgency, they are willing to remain neutral. Then we have to ask those governors and governors, why they don't pay the soldiers and don't reward them. If you don't have money, why sell your life.
Now, under Zheng Guobao's construction, part of the military salary of the border army has been changed to be raised by the mine tax supervisor and solved on the spot. Although the Cangtou army took a lot from it, after all, there were still a lot of them in the hands of the border army, which made the border army's dissatisfaction with the imperial court not so intense. Then there is the trilateral general system Gao Guang first organized and trained the Qin army, and recruited five battalion leaders and 15,000 sons and daughters under the slogan of defending the Qin land by the Qin people. Although it is not yet a formal exercise, it is said that it has already achieved initial results.
This force belongs to Gao Guangxian's descendant troops, and is equipped with some flint guns, as well as a lot of Francophone machines, at least from the façade, it is a very strong arm. As long as you are not an idiot, you have to think about whether it is beneficial or disadvantageous for you to rebel in this context.
Of course, if tough measures are taken against him, the first war in Ningxia will still be a major event that will take time and waste food and wages. Therefore, to deal with him, you can only outwit him, and he is not good at the enemy. Besides, with the help of this long-legged beauty, everyone is a family, so it is better to use the plan.
When Miss Bi saw that Uncle Guo agreed to go to Ningxia with her, her face blossomed with joy. Even the tens of thousands of taels of silver she got felt insignificant. put his hand on the pair of spring short guns given by Uncle Guo, and refused to let go. The female soldier on the side said, "Miss, don't be too happy." Let's not talk about Tu Wenxiu, who doesn't know how to deal with it, just on the uncle side of this country, is there an eldest woman in his family, have you ever asked? ”
Bi Yun said nonchalantly: "What is Tuwenxiu?" When I saw him, I gave him a shot, and we killed each other. As for Uncle Guo's family, there is an eldest woman, so what? Is she riding as fast as me? Is it okay for her to use my sword? Is her archery as good as mine? Even if it's wrestling, those weak Han women, five can't beat me one. She can't compare to me in anything, why should she be a big woman? Uncle Guo is the man I fancie, the eldest lady of his family, and I am determined. Whoever is not convinced, just beat it and talk about it! According to the rules of the border town, the strong are respected, see what she has to say. When the time comes, I will leave her as a side room, and it will not be difficult to live with her. ”
Miss Shen Wanying was in the old mansion, at this time she was embroidering a purse of mandarin ducks playing in the water, and suddenly felt restless, and the embroidery needle pierced a small hole in the finger that was as white and tender as a shallot, and she said "oops" in pain, and hurriedly squeezed it with her hand. The maid Yuzhu watched from the side and hurriedly said, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”
Shen Wanying said: "It's okay. It's just that all of a sudden I feel a little panicked, as if something of mine is going to be robbed. Do you remember, a few years ago, the poor ghost who borrowed our seal hanged himself, and I had such a fuss in my heart, and then sure enough, the account became a bad debt. It's the same today, could it be that there is a problem with the money that was released a few days ago? Or do some people want to covet our fields and shops? ”
Yuzhu smiled: "Miss." As a pavilion elder, who dares to come to death? I see, it's Miss, you miss your uncle. ”
Shen Wanying threw away the work in her hand and said angrily: "Okay, you little hoof, you dare to make fun of your young lady, see if I don't tear your mouth?" ”
The two laughed for a while, and Yuzhu said, "Miss." It is said that the uncle of that country does not dare to deny the account, and the mother's side of this matter is also up to you, and it should not be able to change. But if he doesn't go back to Beijing, aren't you afraid, he's hooking up outside, and going back to get a few vixens home? ”
Shen Wanying said: "What are you afraid of? No one can take away my position as an eldest woman. Men, it's all along the way. Expect them not to spend, it's better to count on the cat not to **! But my roots don't move, and the treetops shake in vain. Those vixens don't want to take away my eldest woman's position, and in the future, our master and servant will join forces to beat all those fox spirits into a ruin, and sell them all one by one in a few years! ”
When Yuzhu heard this, she knew that she couldn't run away from the position of the girl in the room, and she was also happy. Said: "Miss Gaojian." With the support of the old man and the help of the little maid, what kind of vixen we can clean up. ”
