Chapter 152: The Most Direct Method
Zhang Xianzhong's word is loyal, and his name is Jingxuan. ^UC e-book is available free of charge^^
He is a legend, on a par with Li Zicheng. The reason for his fame was not the establishment of the Onishi political power, but the bloody incident called "Pingchuan"! The debate over whether Zhang Xianzhong had Tu Chuan or not continued into the 21st century.
One faction believes that Zhang Xianzhong's slaughter of Sichuan was indeed a fact, and it was the direct cause of the catastrophic decline in Sichuan's population in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties; The other faction believes that the so-called Zhang Xianzhong Pingchuan is the sewage poured by the Manchu rulers, and the real sinner who slaughtered the Sichuan is the Manchu Qing, not Zhang Xianzhong. Both factions can cite some accounts as evidence for their own opinions, and of course, both factions are equally dismissive of each other's evidence.
The more accurate statistics in Sichuan are that there were about 6 million people in Sichuan at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and in the early Qing Dynasty, there were only 90,000 people in the whole of Sichuan who could be traced in history, a decrease of 5.9 million. The Manchus said that the Sichuan people were slaughtered by Zhang Xianzhong, and he was a big leader.
Ouyang Feng said: "In fact, it is not very easy to kill a person, but for the sake of life, many people will take this risk." "It is very difficult to kill people in the era of cold weapons, and it is even more difficult to let thousands of powerful people stand there without resisting and let others kill. If Zhang Xianwang is a big devil, then his subordinates must be too. They hired to support the change of state to become the emperor without a word of complaint, and they didn't want to turn against Zhang Xianzhong, they were more obedient than dogs.
What's even more bizarre is that Zhang Xianzhong died in battle in 1646, and died in a fierce battle with the Qing soldiers after slaughtering Sichuan. The Sichuan people who hated Zhang Xianu to death actually resisted the Manchurian People's Liberation Army for 13 years to avenge their blood hatred, or after being slaughtered. Later scholars could not tell who the Manchus fought with for thirteen years.
In short, Zhang Xianzhong has no chance to be a murder king in his life, he died ......relatively suddenly, Zhang Xianzhong is a problem young man, even if he lives, it is not easy for Xi Si to control. Ao Bai also quickly calmed down and set his sights on others. "Lord Wang, do you know where those streams are?"
Wang Wei didn't know how to answer, he did know where he was, and he also knew why these people fell into the grass, so he didn't take the test to lead the troops to encircle and suppress. His hesitant expression came to his eyes.
Ao Bai smiled and said, "Lord Wang, I asked these questions just to appease these people, not to lead troops to kill them, which seems to be very reassuring." If they are willing to go to the south or somewhere else to do some work, they can at least support themselves, rather than stay here and make trouble, right? ”
Wang Wei sighed and told Ao Bai the general location of several people, but he didn't suggest to appease him now, because those people wouldn't listen to anything if they had no bowl or food. ~~ . (UC e-book)~~
Ao Bai agreed with this view, but he also knew that if he wanted to persuade them to go to Shanxi, he had to do so if they had not yet developed their ambitions to subvert the imperial court. It is not easy to deal with this problem satisfactorily.
followed Wang Wei to look in the camp, and returned to the General Soldier's Mansion. He also talked to the soldiers, and everyone was in a bad mental state, they all had fire, and they wanted to be angry when they couldn't say a few words.
There is nothing left to appease people, and the only way to stabilize the situation is money and food. It's just that it's not enough to be lazy, and the imperial court needs to send someone to regulate prices, so that the price of goods is on par with the south as soon as possible. This disaster can't be saved, but it's impossible to let Ao Bai take the silver out to help the disaster.
After dinner, he walked around the yard with his hands behind his back, trying to think about it, Su Meng'er said softly on the side: "Don't turn around, I'm about to faint."
It's really easy to get dizzy when you turn around, Ao Bai is shocked in his heart, and I seem to be dealing with the problem now It seems that I am also going around in circles, why not deal with the nickname directly?
He walked up to Su Meng'er and said with a smile: "You woke me up with a refusal." What do I want to do with so much? Disaster relief is not my responsibility alone. If I tell the emperor that if Shaanxi does not provide disaster relief, there will be a revolt in the people this year, do you think he will be ruthless to get those businessmen in the south to donate money? ”
"I don't know, it depends on whether your suggestion is reasonable, let the southern businessmen donate money, won't the Donglin Party definitely rebel?" Su Meng'er sighed and said, "You want to go back to Beijing?" I'm not going to any other border towns anymore? ”
"The problems of other border towns are not as serious as here, so don't you rush to go, right? The most important thing is to keep the rogues stable, and now that they are a bit of a model, it will only get worse if they drag on like this. Ao Bai's mind was on food, and he didn't pay attention to the loneliness on Di Meng'er's face.
Su Meng'er bit her lip and suddenly said, "I don't think I can go back to the capital at this time." ”
Turtle Bai asked, "Why?" ”
Su Meng'er said lightly: "Because ......, aren't you going to visit the border towns with the emperor who are in arrears?" Before you have gone to several places, you will return to Beijing, and the emperor asked, isn't this a bully? ”
Chongzhen doesn't even know where the border town is, and the power of the Hongyi cannon to fire a nuclear bomb is not a bully, who cares about this little thing about him? Ao Bai smiled: "This is a very important thing, how can it be called a bully?" But I don't need to go back in person, just ask for a letter to explain the situation. I'd like to go to the west of the mountain. There are also two border towns there. ”
Su Meng'er asked again: "What about Liaodong?" Aren't your senior brother and apprentice there? Don't you want to watch? ”
"There's no need to go there, the military salary has already been delivered, and Lord Sun and Man Gui will also deal with things over there. Hebei doesn't need it, and there won't be trouble when there is no arrears. Ao Bai noticed that Su Meng'er was not very happy, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Is there anything on your mind? ”
Su Meng'er said quietly: "It's not all your business, since you have decided to report to the court to ask for salary, do you still want to meet those who have fallen into the grass and win them over?" I don't think there's a record at all, they can't eat, and they definitely can't fight. Ao Bai smiled: "I'm also thinking about this problem, I don't know what they think, and I have no money or food, so it's not good to talk to him, tell my identity, maybe it's still dangerous." ”
Su Meng'er frowned and said: "Then don't go, you can have an identity now, there is no need to negotiate with a group of rogues alone, just send someone to go in the future." ”
Ao Bai thought the same thing, he looked at Su Meng'er and smiled slightly.
Su Meng'er glared at him and asked, "I talk to you so seriously, why are you laughing?" ”
Ao Bai leaned closer to her and said softly, "Thank you for caring about me so much, I am very happy that you talk to me like this." ”
Su Meng'er's face turned cold, turned her head and left. "I'm going back."
"Wait." Ao Bai took her hand and said softly, "Sit with me for a while." ”
Su Meng'er broke away from Aobai's hand, hesitated, and sat down on the stone platform in the corridor.
Ao Bai sat beside her and said with a smile: "Shaanxi is too depressing, I have learned about the situation here, tomorrow Li will discuss it with Wang Wei, and then we will leave here, okay?" ”
Ao Baichai Wang Wei must have a channel to get in touch with those people, and it would be better for Wang Wei to inform Liukou, as long as Liukouzhu knew that he was going all out to fight for relief for Shaanxi. It's hard to gain the trust of the other party if you have 6 sides.
Su Meng'er didn't speak, and her expression was a little melancholy, obviously she cared about me so much, and she wanted to pretend to be dissatisfied and didn't care in front of people, why bother? Is it so important to see face? Ao Bai looked at Su Meng'er and said lightly: "Duo'er, are you unwilling to return to the capital?" ”
Su Meng'er said coldly: "You test me? If you want to say this again, I'll go. ”
Ao Bai sighed: "Do you really want to live with me like this for the rest of your life?" Just keep being friends? ”
Su Meng'er was stunned for a moment, a little flustered, and said, "Embryo, who is ......, who wants to live with you for the rest of their lives?" Even if you don't like Queen Lidang, not to mention that you don't have anything stubble now. ”
"Shhh Ao Bai put his finger to his mouth and said lightly: "Even if you are dying, I will not show off in front of you, I know that you are not rare." I'm actually a little worried that if I become emperor one day, will you leave ...... because you don't like the kind of life in the palace. ”
Su Meng'er looked at him and said coldly: "Yes, of course I can't live that kind of life when I stay in one place until I get old, so don't try to change me." ”
Ao Bai sighed: "Let's go, let's go into the house, I understand what you think, I won't force you." ”
He knew that what Su Meng'er said was true. The twisted melon is not sweet, and he does not want to force others. What's more, most of his mind has to be on his career, plus the three ladies, how many shares can one person share?
That night, Ao Bai wrote two letters, one for Han Ting. It explains the situation in Shaanxi: The province is dry early, the people are not chatting about their livelihoods, a large number of deserters have already appeared in the northwest military towns, and some people in Liao have fallen into the grass and become cowards, and disaster relief must be provided as soon as possible. Without further ado, if the women's class is delayed any longer, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable, and there will definitely be a serious civil unrest within a year. He suggested that Chongzhen let the rich raise donations, and then the money donated by the treasury was used for disaster relief.
The other is for local officials to bring to those "mountain kings", so that they can rest down and wait for relief. As long as you don't abuse the innocent, the court will not be guilty of the past in the future. Shake hands and play dedication. What is innocent, Turtle Bai did not point it out in the letter. This is going to make them lose their judgment, Ao Bai thinks that the corrupt officials are not innocent, and the more they kill, the better, and if the officials in Shaanxi are killed by a group, they can install new people.
Ao Bai figured it out, it took more than ten years for the peasants to rise up and rebel against the Ming Dynasty, and now it is not a climate, if they are led to Shanxi, they have to spend their own money to support a group of people. Not to mention the Hong Kong fee, there are too many people and it is easy to be exposed. The best situation is to let the imperial court stabilize these people, and when things happen, it is best to support them, and it doesn't matter if they don't cooperate.
History can be changed, Zhang Xianzhong is hanging, and Gao Yingxiang and others may not be some great figures. After Ao Bai arranged things properly, he left Assi with fifty brocade guards.
