Chapter 16, the surname of the Huiji
Dong attacked Dong Yuandai, that is, a native of Huiji, it is estimated that his background will not be very high, so he looked forward to changing the sky day and night, Sun Ce just went south, he ran to Gaoqian Pavilion to greet him, and then assisted Sun Ce to exterminate the thieves of Huiji, Huang Longluo, Zhou Bo and others, and was reused. When Sun Quanchu succeeded to the throne, his mother, Mrs. Wu, was afraid that the second son (although not biological) was too young to keep the foundation of Jiangdong, so she specially found some people to inquire, including Zhang Zibu, the first secretary of the bureaucracy, and Dong Yuandai, the local military general.
Dong Xi patted his chest and assured Wu Guotai, saying: "Jiangdong has the solidity of mountains and rivers, and the rebellion against the Ming Mansion, the kindness is in the people, the capture of Chengji, the size of the life, Zhang Zhaobing is the people, and the attack is the minions, and the place is good for the people, and there is nothing to worry about." It can be seen that he is quite loyal to the Sun regime and Sun Quan himself.
This is a first-class and second-rate brave general in Jiangdong, if he is still guarding in his hometown, he will win the hearts of the people and be familiar with the location, and Shixun really doesn't dare to touch him. Want to ask where is the little official in front of you? But if you open your mouth rashly, you will inevitably lose your own prestige, so it's better to sign up first-
"I am Youzhou Thorn Shi is Xun, ordered by the imperial court, led the army to attack Wu, are you afraid of a horse?!"
When the little official heard this, he was so frightened that he almost didn't pee out, and he didn't dare to stalk his neck at the moment, so he lay on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. It was Xun who asked his name, and it turned out that this person had the surname Sima, a single name, and the word Chaoluo, that is, a native of Huiji, who was born in a poor family, and was the rank of Baishi of the Cheng County Department, mainly responsible for the port management and the collection of commercial taxes here.
Sima Que originally thought that some kind of bandit and water bandit came to harass him - he was hugging his bitch in the official house and drinking a little wine to mess around, so he let the Youzhou soldiers take it in a daze, and he didn't see the huge fleet that came to invade - although he was afraid. But with the intention of drinking. thought that the name of Dong Raid was reported. It's enough to scare the other party away, or at least scare the other party into not daring to kill themselves. When I heard something, the assassin of Youzhou came to Jiangdong in person, and his soul flew on the spot.
However, he is a local official after all, and his understanding of national affairs is very limited, so after kowtowing, he asked blankly: "Will I be able to rebel against someone?" Why do you ask for it? ”
When Shixun heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry a little. replied casually: "Sun will rebel." "Sun Quan's official position is to be the chief inspector, but he has been in Wu County for many years, and all the affairs of the meeting are handed over to the county Cheng Gu Yong to help take care of. Shi Xun heard Lu Yi say that Gu Yong also sent his son Gu Shao to follow Zhang Hong north to Xudu, wanting to secretly collude with Wang Shi, so he came back to fight Huiji, and he also took into account that Gu Yong in this year has not yet sincerely surrendered to the Sun regime, or he can contact him to make the harassment bigger.
But after carefully questioning Sima Que, he learned that the Sun family was already wary of this. Just over half a month ago, Gu Yong was suddenly recalled to Wu County. Sun Quan also signed his cronies Chun Yushi to serve as the county governor of Huiji. In addition, Dong Xi is not in the county, and the person in charge of military affairs is Zhong Lixu, the captain of the building.
Is Xun Xin saying who is this person? In the future, there will be a general named Zhong Limu in Eastern Wu, who has guarded the southern states and counties for many years, and after Wei destroyed Shu, he waved his army to the border and broke the Wuxi Man who tried to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble - does this Zhong Lixu have anything to do with him? (Actually, Zhong Lixu is Zhong Limu's biological father, but this kind of character in the horns, no wonder Xun doesn't remember.) )
After inquiring about the basic situation, Shi Xun waved his sleeves: "Push it out." Sima Que was shocked, and hurriedly lay on the ground and said to forgive: "Sun will rebel, and the last official will not rebel!" This man also had some strength, and at the moment of life and death, he bent his back and plunged his ten fingers into the soil, so that the two sergeants could not even pull it several times.
Shi Xun pursed his lips, waved his hand, ordered the soldiers to retreat for the time being, and then questioned Sima Que: "I heard that those who rebelled against the imperial court were not only against the court, but also against Jiangdong." Why don't you oppose it? "Sima Que said that I only know that I am a subject of the Han Dynasty, and my official position is given by the county order, how can I know the treacherous plot of the superiors? Please also take a clear look!
In these years, the central government's control over the local government was very weak, so the people of Pingtou and small officials like him really only knew the orders of the county magistrate, but they didn't understand what the county guards and assassins were thinking, and they didn't know what it meant to be armed secession. However, after all, the Han Dynasty has been in the world for more than 400 years, and the concept of the emperor of the Han Dynasty has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Because of this layer of separation, Shi Xun really didn't worry about such a small official who was also loyal to the Sun family - he didn't plan to kill Sima Que in the first place, no matter how low the other party's position was, he would be an official after all, and he finally caught a possible leading party, how could there be a reason to cut it off? The former was nothing more than intimidation.
So Shi Xun asked, you said that you didn't rebel, and begged me not to execute you, so what use can you do to Wang Shi's conquest of Jiangdong? Sima Que hurriedly said I can, I can, I dare not say it far away, the customs and customs of this Yin and Cheng two counties are all in the hearts of the last officials, and they are willing to be the guide of the army. Then, without waiting for Xun to ask, he poured beans into a bamboo tube, and what were the names of the two county magistrates, where they came from, as well as the names and origins of the famous surnames of the wealthy families in the county.
Finally, he said that the last official could lead the way for the army to take Cheng County.
Shi Xun said that he was not in a hurry, I just came to investigate the shape first, and the army was still behind - if I really want to expose that I only have a few thousand soldiers and horses, it is inevitable that the other party will have other thoughts. So he took Sima Que on the boat, set sail, and arrived in Yinxian County before heading south.
Although it has been inquired from Sima Que's mouth, there are only six or seven hundred guards in Cheng County, and the equipment is incomplete and the training is extremely poor, but it is also a county seat, and I am afraid it is not so easy to take it. If you delay for a day or two, and get the news by the wealthy family in Yin County, then the harvest of the next trip will not be so rich.
It was Xun Zhen who grabbed a lot of goods in this port, and he was full of fat. So on the one hand, let the shipowners of Cheng County send their own people back, bringing letters, claiming that the imperial court had conquered the Sun clan in Jiangdong, and requisitioned the ships of Ru and others, and the goods were also temporarily detained, and when the Sun clan was destroyed, they could bring books to ask me again, and at the same time, let those ships be loaded with goods, escorted by two warships. Send it back to Rugao Port.
The remaining boats rounded the cape. Xiangshan Port from the past to the future. After plundering again, after waving his army and landing on the shore, under the guidance of Sima Que, he marched towards Yinxian County.
Yin County is in the south of Cheng County, and the county seat is more detached from the coast than Zhen County, and the garrison is more lax. Shi Xun led nearly 2,000 soldiers, and after only marching for more than two hours, he came to the county seat at night. Naturally, Yinxian had already received the news that the port was occupied by the enemy. But there is still no clear idea of how many enemy troops there are and where they come from. On the one hand, the county magistrate sent people to the county to govern Sanyin Gaoyu, and on the other hand, he closed the city gates, planning to wait until dawn tomorrow to send people to investigate.
The small broken city gate of the small broken county town is actually of little significance, and it can only block thieves from hundreds of people. The Youzhou army held torches high, climbed the city directly, and rushed into the county government before midnight, and the county magistrate walked over the wall. Fleeing and nowhere to be found.
Immediately from the land route to the north to the north of Cheng County, it was also lightly destroyed in one day. There are no less than 10,000 households in the two counties. Shi Xun directly took 20% of the captive and stuffed it into the sea ship and transported it back to Rugao Island. In these years, it was common to fight wars and plunder people's households, because only when there were people could there be soldiers and food, and if the other party's population was taken captive, no matter how wide the opponent's territory was, it would be no different from the dry bones in the grave. It's a pity that even if it is a sea ship in this era, the loading capacity is too small - not to mention the 10,000-ton ship, if it is enough for 1,000 tons, Shi Xun can take away all the households in the two counties, and there are still eighty percent left, not that he is not greedy, he can really eat, but he can't fit it.
At the same time, Shi Xun also put Lu Yi off the boat, asked him to change his costume, first go to visit the major wealthy families of Huiji, and then go north to Wu County to communicate with the four surnames. When this plan was originally made, Zhuge Liang still had doubts, saying that this young man had such courage and courage? Can it be given such a heavy responsibility? Look at him like that, and he was born in a wealthy family, he doesn't seem to be able to do it. Yes Xun said that you can rest assured, Boyan will live up to my expectations.
Lu Yi also carried a lot of blank official letters signed by Cao Cao, and helped Shixun to go everywhere to seal the official and make a wish. According to the information, Shi Xun designated the Shanyin Order Wei Teng to be the county guard of the Huiji, the former Zhengqiang Order Jiaojiao was the Shanyin Order, the county Gong Cao Ding Lan was the Huiji County Cheng, and the reclusive scholar Zheng Chong was the head of Yuyao, and it was best to recruit the thief Marshal Pan Lin to serve as the chief of the Wushu Wound.
It is said that those wealthy families with the surname of Ji are Xundu, who only heard Lu Yi and Shao Yi talk about it, and he himself doesn't recognize any of them. On the contrary, it is the thief Pan Lin, who has appeared in the glorious game, but he has been famous for a long time.
As for the wealthy family of Wu County, Shi Xun completely delegated power, let Lu Yi do it for you, even if you all install four Chinese surnames, I will do it.
A local wealthy clan like the four surnames of Wu County will have to be suppressed sooner or later, but now it is necessary to establish a united front with them first and join forces to deal with the Sun family. How the imperial court will govern Wu Hui in the future, and we will talk about it later-I guess it's none of his business with Hongfu.
In addition, Wei Teng, who was the Shanyin Ling in the honor, was the Shangyu people of this county, and his grandfather Wei Lang learned the Five Classics of Fufu, and was famous for a while, and was recommended by Chen Fan in the Huan Emperor Dynasty, saying that he was "loyal and upright, and should be in secret", but he was recruited as a scholar, and was imprisoned in the "disaster of the party". When Chen Fan was victimized by the eunuchs and implicated Wei Lang, the court summoned him to Beijing, he thought to himself, and when he went to Danyang Niuzhu Mountain, he committed suicide. Because of this incident, the Wei family's reputation and status in the county were instantly raised, and they were the bull's ears of the wealthy families in the county.
Of course, the biggest wealthy family in Huiji County has to be the Shanyin Xie family - later Xie An, Xie Xuan and others in the Eastern Jin Dynasty all belong to this branch. However, the eldest patriarch of the Xie family, the former Shang Shulang and Xu Ling Xie Xuan married their daughter to Sun Quan as his wife, which can be regarded as officially climbing the Sun family's thief ship, and the possibility of secretly trying to win over is very small, so Xun will not let Lu Yi hit the luck.
Pulled back and said that Wei Tengshi was the order of Shanyin, not only in charge of county affairs, but also assisted the county Cheng Chun in governing the whole county, he suddenly received the news of the attack from Yin and Cheng counties, and he was shocked and confused - Lu Yi hadn't come to see him at this time, he didn't know which way of soldiers and horses came - and hurriedly ran to ask to see Chun Yushi.
Chun Yushi is also strange, saying that Pan Lin led his troops down the mountain? Wei Teng said that if it was Pan Lin, it should have been by land, and it was impossible to attack the port first through the sea route. Chun Yushi asked again: "The more you have no mountains, the more you disturb the people?" Wei Teng said that Shanyue coveted his homeland, so it was impossible for him to come so far.
Chun Yushi is a follower, and he is quite talented in civil affairs, but his experience and ability to deal with such emergencies are infinitely close to zero, so he has to gather his subordinates to discuss. When even one of the officials came out: "I am willing to lead the troops to explore, if there are not many enemies, I will suppress them and restore the officials!" "Chun Yushi looked, this man is in his early twenties, with a strong physique, and his appearance is quite vicious, but it is a pity that he is lame with one leg on crutches...... (To be continued......)
