Chapter 85: Reasoning

When Qian Shilang was carried to the bell tower, he saw Zhou Huan and a few people drinking tea and chatting there. The teacups and tea sets are the most ordinary things, there are no dishes, but they drink with relish, and the view here is very good, and you can see everything that happens in the capital.

"Wang Huan, you chaotic minister and thief, who gave you the courage to indulge the chaos in the world?"

Qian Shilang's white hair fluttered in the air, and his voice was like a nighthawk's howl.

"If you want to kill me, won't I be able to save myself?"

Zhou Huan felt very puzzled and replied.

"You are the descendant of the Great Grandmaster Zhou Huan, you have a hundred ways to get out, why do you choose this one? Great Grandmaster Zhou Huan is for the country and the people, and in the end he gives up his glory and wealth to hide in the mountains and forests, are you worthy of him as his descendant?"

"I'm sorry for him?"

Zhou Huan smiled and ignored Qian Shilang's wailing.

These people always think that others have to do things according to their rules, but they don't follow the rules, and when the matter comes, they defend themselves in various ways, and they really have nothing to say.

Zhou Huan doesn't know the consequences of releasing the Nine Great Sects?

Of course you know, but so what?

Does he want to say to the Nine Great Sects, you rescue me from the prison, oppress the civil officials and the emperor, and at the same time do not move a stitch and thread of the imperial court?

Phew, people who say such things are brain-dead!

For a long time, the Nine Great Sects have been very respectful and low-key, resolutely not to fight with the imperial court, not that they don't have that strength, but they know very well that either they don't do it, or they do it, as long as they cross that line, they will do it!

Either don't do it, or do it, if Zhou Huan wants to ask the other party to help, but also to point fingers at the other party, the Nine Great Sects will directly refuse, why should the other party do things for you with his head, and you still want the other party to bear unbearable risks?

Even the help of the Nine Great Sects this time was because they needed an introduction, a reason to silence the opposition within the sect, not as big as the face of the descendants of the Great Master of Zhou.

And then there was everything that happened later, since Wudang could not bear the wrath of the imperial court, so why didn't he bring more people in? There are many masters of the Nine Great Sects in Beijing, and at the same time, they quickly mobilize more people to enter Beijing, and finally come to a big one.

"This is how things went, you locked me in a cell and asked me to be beheaded, so I had to find a way to escape. ”

"Qingxu, aren't you afraid of bringing disaster to the Wudang Sect?"

Qian Shilang's gaze fell on Qingxu's body.

"I'm afraid, but what's the use of being afraid? I have been friends with you for thirty years, but you kicked you away after taking advantage of it, since this is the case, it is better to change your concept. ”

Qingxu Zhenren's gaze fell on a big man not far away, and his appearance made Qian Shilang stunned.

"Are you Tianjiao General Lin Xitong?"

"It's rare that Qian Shilang still remembers it, it's really a blessing in three lives. ”

Lin Xitong, the brave general, was sentenced to the three clans for murdering the imperial court officials, and he thought that he had fled to the extreme west, but he did not expect that he was sitting here.

"At that time, my cousin held the checkpoint for twenty-six days, and kept the fortress for the army, but as a result, the son of Zhou Shangshu turned into executioners in order to grab merit, and buried those meritorious people alive in the ground. ”

"You planned the attack?"

"It's not just me, in the past few decades, those people of insight who have been betrayed by the imperial court, or who have not been reused, have thrown themselves into the Nine Great Sects, at least where it is fair, as long as they have the ability, they can be promoted, as far as I know, there are at least fifteen former generals, hundreds of middle and low-level officers who serve the Nine Great Sects.

As far as my sect is concerned, the plan for rebellion in the sect is updated every year, and after the news of Aunt Tang's critical illness came, a preliminary mobilization began.

As for the plan to make a big move in the capital, every sect has it, but this time it just chose a less radical one. ”

"What is radical?"

"Raid the imperial city, kill all the Son of Heaven, and at the same time set fire to the city, so that the two hundred years of savings of Daliang will be wiped out overnight, assassinate officials from all over the country, and occupy the land and claim the king. At that time, the girder collapsed like a snake that had its head chopped off. Later, the remaining remnants of various places are not a problem. ”

"You madmen!"

"This plan is feasible. ”

Zhou Huan nodded, each of the nine major sects can concentrate a team of thousands of people, and it is easy to break into the Beijing division to create chaos, as for the 200,000 Beijing camp in Qian Shilang's mouth, it is far away from the station a hundred miles outside the city, and it will take at least a few days to force the march to the Beijing division.

As for why these 200,000 people were not put in the Beijing Division, it could not be done at all, not to mention the problem of military food supply, the army put in the bustling city would soon be rotten and unlikely, and it would become an empty shell in a few years.

The most that can be accommodated in the capital is only twenty or thirty thousand forbidden troops, as well as thousands of imperial forest troops, these troops have not seen blood, and they have to arrange for the children of the powerful and related households to take silver and pay them, and those who are really capable will also be excluded in various ways.

After coming and going, the deterrence of the Great Liang Empire is really not so terrifying.

"Or just burn the archives of the six ministries, destroy the Jingcang and the treasury, cut off water transportation at the same time, destroy roads and bridges, and force the Son of Heaven to bow his head and admit defeat - as long as this kind of turmoil lasts for three years, the economy of the Great Liang Empire will go bankrupt, and then the imperial family will have no chance to ask for peace. ”

"Phew, there are still 700,000 border troops in the imperial court, and the iron cavalry is heading south, what do you use to resist?"

"The border army, that's really powerful, the question is how much time do you need to mobilize the border army? half a year, or a year? Not to mention that the mobilization of the army can hide from our ears and eyes, the royal officialdom is full of all kinds of sieves, you want to mobilize the army, all kinds of cumbersome paperwork is missing, what can be?

Don't say any secret decrees, even if there is any secret decree that can mobilize generals who are not afraid of being raided and wiped out afterwards, you also need military logistics, what army can gather more than 50,000 troops to move south quickly and silently? And less than 50,000 troops, none of the nine major sects are afraid!"

As a general who has been on the battlefield for a long time, Lin Xitong has a very deep understanding of the military affairs of the empire, or what they have studied over the years is how to use martial arts masters to face the imperial army and how to rebel.

"There are not only nine major sects in the world, there are other martial arts masters, as long as you let go of the lord's reward, you are just clowns. ”

"A reward from the lord of the court?"

A middle-aged man on the side was about to burst into tears when he laughed.

"Ten years ago, we waited for the court to quell the rebellion, three hundred children fought bravely, and afterwards the above rewarded three thousand silver, when I got to my hands, there were only three hundred left to kowtow and thank you, and I had to take out another thirty percent to give the little official who gave the silver!

This is because I have too much credit and the court can't erase it, otherwise we, the people's army without a military number, are cannon fodder, and Boss Huo is because he doesn't want to be robbed of credit, and when he reports it, he was written as unruly, delayed the military plane, and cut off the heads of the whole family.

How much can the lord of the imperial court give? How much can you give? Don't be funny, your officials will even starve their wives and children to death according to their regular income!"

"It's not a matter of the imperial court, it's a matter of distribution. ”

"At this time, it's none of your business? Your reasons are very good, the 30,000 counterinsurgency army needs silver, the generals who lead the troops need silver, the officials in the rear need silver, and what are we who really fight bloody battles?

The people's army, the credit is not ours, and the silver is not ours, and if you are not careful, you will become cannon fodder, and it is a joke to get three hundred taels of silver.

In addition to those lackeys who help corrupt officials and abuse them, those who really contribute to the court have long been cold-hearted. ”

"But ......"

"Is it true that the Nine Great Sects have been very obedient in recent years, and they will actively participate in the military affairs of the imperial court? Of course, they will participate, and every time they participate in the military training, they will be disheartened by the imperial court, and there is no trace of respect. ”

Zhou Huan understands this situation, and the seconded people are used to death, not to mention these friendly troops who don't even have an establishment, so naturally they are asked to do the hardest, most tiring and most dangerous things, but they are forgotten when they share their merits, and it must be them when there is a black cauldron.

Even if the bigwigs in the imperial court were afraid of something and distributed silver and other compensation, how could the already corrupt bureaucracy not drift away?

In other words, the children and friends of the bigwigs embezzled the silver, and all this was done by them.

"I admit that there are many people who have done wrong, but where are you going to do this? Wang Huan, the great man you wrote about is for the country and the people, and look at what you have done now!"

A raging flame burned in the distance, and the entire Kyoshi seemed to be in hell.

"It's funny. ”

Zhou Huan's gaze fell on the raging fires in the distance.

"I'm an ordinary person, I came to Jingshi to do business well, and then I was slandered by you and put in prison, and I had to kill them all, at this time someone rescued me, but you said that what I did was wrong, I want to go through formal channels to avenge your grievances, listen to your arrangement, and can't resist at all, as for hurting others, that's my fault?"

"Those Li people are so innocent, you are going too far!"

"I'll fuck you, mom, X!"

Zhou Huan pulled out a knife and cut off Qian Shilang's head with one sword.

"Reason with you, you talk to me about the law, you talk to you about the law, you talk to me about righteousness, you talk to you about justice, but you reason with me! When I can't bear to resist, you say that the people are not guilty?

Phew!"

The long knife dripping with blood was close to Liu Jin, but this time it was not to cut off his head, but to remove the rope from his body.

"Father-in-law Liu, please bring a message to Your Majesty, hurry up and let Chen Yunying come out, I have something to find her, I am in a hurry!"
