Chapter 2: Saving the Governor of Liangguang (16)
Zhao Fu regretted a little that he went to the school to tell Ding Yi the news of the prefect's suicide.
Ding Rongcheng, who was sitting in the palace, seemed to live in the official office of some idle yamen in Beijing, without the slightest anger, and he couldn't find the rough smell of yelling in front of the soldiers.
He sat upright in the hall and persuaded the prefect who failed to commit suicide: "Don't you see, Hou is against the trend and the soul is ruined?" Don't you see, the country is in frequent wars? Endure a white silk and abandon the world? This is not a clear will, but an evasion...... Tianxingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement; The terrain is good, and the gentleman carries things with virtue...... Good times are available, but don't do it in vain......"
It's just a matter of being serious and long, and the speed of speech, Zhao Fu feels that compared with the seventy-five-year-old Shi Pu, it is also comparable. It was so slow that Zhao Fu wanted to die when he heard it, and he even wondered with some bad taste, did Ding Rongcheng think that it was not good that this prefect did not die, so he deliberately talked like this to force this prefect to be unbearable, and to die again?
Perhaps, is this the nature of Tanhualang's warmth and jade? Zhao Fu didn't quite understand, not because he was confused by Ding Yi's true temperament, but because he felt deeply puzzled about why Ding chose to be in this prefect's yamen, facing this prefect who failed to commit suicide.
Because there are a lot of urgent things outside, waiting for someone Ding to deal with it, whether it is the more than 1,000 troops brought out by Yang Shou and still have no news; is still Shi Pushi Taibao, who does not know life and death; or the tens of thousands of border troops who are still marching in the direction of Nanning; The gentry on the school field who are still under public trial and the officials headed by Cangwu Zhixian ......
What thing is not more pressing than soothing the prefect who failed to commit suicide? Dante sat there so breezily. If it weren't for the fact that he had already taken refuge in Ding Yi before, Zhao Fu really wanted to pull Ding Yi down and ask him what he wanted! And now. He only had a bitter face to accompany him, after all, if he broke Shi Pu, if he hated Ding Yi again, his future would be in great trouble.
Finally, Ding Yi had the intention of leaving: "Your mansion must not do such things again, everything in Wuzhou is ......urgent" Zhao Fu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but glanced outside the hall. But it was his own soldiers who rushed over, Zhao Fu got up and hugged his fist to Ding Yi, looked at Ding and nodded. He hurriedly went out to meet the pro-soldier and asked what was going on, so panicked?
"General, it's not good!" The pro-soldier looked panicked and said hurriedly. "The gentry. There are more than a dozen of them that let the people ...... No, the rebels are killed! The brothers are here to ask for an idea, how should this be done? Is it to bomb or withdraw from the capital city of Wuzhou? Seeing that it goes on like this, the magistrate and the officials are afraid that they will ......."
At this time, it was the prefect who sent Ding Yi out of the hall, Ding Yi bowed slightly, and made a look at Zhao Fu, who pulled his own soldiers. didn't dare to say much to follow Ding Yi, and was personally sent out of the mansion by the prefect. Only then did he say to Ding Yi: "Duke Jin, it's not good!" The people of this city are in turmoil, or the last general will escort the Duke of Jin back to Huaiji! All the mistakes are the fault of the last general, and you shouldn't go to the dangerous place of the Jin Gregorian ......"
Zhao Fu regretted it very much, he fainted under the serious injury at that time, and went to ask Ding Yi to come over, but Shi Pu was not rescued, but Ding Yi, who was involved in military affairs, was also trapped in Wuzhou, what is this called? Now that I think about it, he really regrets not being at the beginning, what did Ding Rongcheng do to save Shi Pu? Is it the so-called first division of the Ming Dynasty that has been trained for a few months? At that time, if he was desperate to lead thousands of subordinates to go directly to Ding Yi, how could he say that he could have a thorough situation, anyway, Shi Pu was completely unable to be encircled, as for the overall situation of Guangxi, it was not his turn to consider it in the future!
He didn't know what to say, if he really ignored Shi Pu at that time, and directly took thousands of border troops to Huaiji to surrender to Ding Yi, he was afraid that after being taken down by Ding Yi on the spot, he would be escorted to Beijing to ask for guilt. The reason why Ding Yi is still willing to accept Zhao Fu's refuge is also because he is here and there, and he still doesn't forget to rescue Shi Pu, and he thinks that this person is at least a man.
"What's the panic? is also a person who has become a general, and there is no city government at all. Ding Yi coldly reprimanded Zhao Fu before he taught the soldier to come over and asked him, "What's the matter?" Could it be that under the indignation of the people and the surging emotions of the people, the magistrate who betrayed the people and plotted against him has been pointed out by the people in the city because of the unrighteous things of rebellion, and died without illness? ”
The pro-soldier was stunned for a moment, and there is still this statement? But think about it, aren't those gentry who were beaten to death by the people just die of illness? He bowed his head and said: "Back to the boss, those gentry and that one died without illness, and the magistrate is only afraid of the next, too, and ......."
"Why can't you even say a word?" Ding Yi smiled and patted the shoulder of the pro-soldier, and said to Zhao Fu, "You must have bullied them a lot on weekdays, and made them a little trivial, so they were nervous like this, this is unacceptable, if you want to follow the students on errands in the future, corporal punishment is not allowed in the army, but it must be followed." It is necessary to let the soldiers understand that they are not red guys, but soldiers, dignified and honored. ”
Zhao Fu's face was bitter, and he could only say yes in his mouth, but he was so anxious in his heart: Lord Ding, Uncle Ding! Do you want to buy people's hearts and find a safe place to do it? This joint Wuzhou is about to change the people, do you still have the heart to buy a ghost here? Are you buying hearts with your life?
But when these words were heard in the ears of the pro-soldiers, they inexplicably gave birth to warmth and dignity, this word is really no one has ever said to them, and the generals who are good to the pro-soldiers are just to let people go to eat and drink, and as the main general rises, they can get a background for the pro-soldiers, or turn a blind eye to let them make some money when they are in chaos.
The more a person has no money, the more he does not want others to feel that he is poor; The lower the social status, the more eager they are to be respected. Especially the pro-soldier who at least didn't worry about eating and drinking, listening to Ding Yi's words, his eyes were really wet, because he could hear that Ding's words were not lies, they came from within, and there was a natural smell.
"Don't panic, you go and inform the brothers in the school, our army's salary, grain and grass are all the people's fat and people's ointment, unless the people attack the army, you must not embarrass the people, can you remember? This is not civil unrest, but righteous people, what sin are the people? On one side is the rebellious dog official, the inferior gentry of the city of woe; On the one hand, there are righteous people who rise up for the country and don't care about their lives, think about it, how can you do it to the people? Go ahead and give the order! Ding Yi commanded the pro-soldier in a good voice, but Zhao Fu didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Ding Yi overstepping his direct superior to give orders to the pro-soldiers, he was very conscious of a martial artist, and felt that it was normal to be instructed by the civilian officials of his superiors. Especially after he is iron-hearted, he has taken refuge in Ding Yi.
The soldier took the order and rode away, and unconsciously reached out to wipe the wetness from the corners of his eyes on the horse, but secretly made up his mind: This Mr. Rong Cheng is a little roundabout, but he is a good official, much kinder than that Shi Taibao...... No matter what, I have to keep Mr. Rong Cheng out of Wuzhou!
By the time Ding Yi and Zhao Fu came to the school, the people had already quieted down.
And they were very frightened, and when they saw Ding Yi, they involuntarily knelt down, and there were probably nearly half of the people in the city, all of whom were crowded in this school field, and there were more than 10,000 men, women, and children, and they were afraid that there would be a large number of black people. As soon as Ding came with his horse, he saw the people kneeling as if they were a little shorter.
The root of their panic lies in the fact that they have killed officials.
The magistrate was also beaten to death by the surging people, and then they began to panic, some wanted to flee home, some were red-eyed, aroused the beast in their hearts, and wanted to kill the errand or the people who usually offended him...... However, the pro-soldier who passed Ding Yi's order jumped on the stage with his heart, holding the big iron horn and shouting: "Mr. Rongcheng instructed: What is the crime of the people? This is not civil unrest, but a righteous people! Unless the people make a move against the soldiers, we and the soldiers must not embarrass the people! You and the people, a little quiet, dare to attack the soldiers, Mr. Rong Cheng said, but we can't sit idly by! ”
There is a way to live, who likes to go to death? Besides, these border troops are all old and fighting with the Tartars, all of them are five big and three thick, and they are wearing armor and helmets, and the swords and guns in their hands are also bright and reflecting the sun, and the people listen to the words, it seems that Lord Ding said that they are not civil riots? And say that everyone is not guilty? Innocent, what's the fuss? What's running? There are some uneasy offspring, and it also makes the parents of their own parents take crutches and smash the honest.
At this time, seeing Ding come over, everyone was waiting for someone Ding to give an explanation.
"Today, the people of Wuzhou Mansion are indignant because the magistrate of the county is rebelling with the inferior gentry...... The common people think of the emperor's grace...... Zhongjun patriotically ...... "After all, Ding Yi has been a person who has been involved in Tanhua, and there is no problem in solving such a problem, not to mention that this is what he expected after he arrested the gentry last night."
After the public approval fight, as long as the guidance is appropriate, how the people will react, I am afraid that no one understands this question more deeply than Ding. Therefore, what Zhao Fu and Bian Jun were worried about, Ding Yi was really not flustered, and learned that Lu Dao was not just a few hundred years later, a person who had gone to college, could do the eight-strand articles of this era and get the flowers. Ding Yi can explore the flowers, and the knowledge that is more than the people of this era is on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is good at adapting, good at learning, and good at emptying himself.
How will the people react, how should the people's emotions be guided, and talk about utopia with people these days, and the ghost knows what the Tao is, right? What should I say to guide, Ding someone had a draft as early as last night, what's the need to panic? Seeing that after Ding started to lecture, the mood of the people on the school field quickly calmed down.
But Zhao Fu and the border army were horrified in their hearts: the wolf smoke rose from the city!
This is the signal that a large number of people are coming, and almost all of them, whether it is Zhao Fu or those border troops, they all think of the Hou Dagou rebel army in Duqiao Mountain. It seems that Yang Shousui is all gone, and Hou Wei has come to encircle Wuzhou again! (To be continued......)
