Chapter 314: Missing
After three days, King Qin's edict was sent to Gao Ning's hands.
The words are gorgeous, the feelings are earnest, the writing is very sincere, and the promises are very tempting, but the effect that can be achieved is definitely not high.
Because the court has a criminal record, for the big lord above, these Tartars are just bandits, and they are on par with the vassal king in terms of threat level.
It's not even as good as a vassal king.
After all, no one wants to see the old things of King Yan back then, and Chongzhen's emperor hasn't had enough.
Moreover, since ancient times, there has always been constant harassment from outside the border, most of which are troubles, and nothing too serious has ever happened, nothing more than the loss of some floating wealth.
For the eldest master, as long as it does not threaten their interests and life safety, it doesn't matter if they live or die at all.
This idea has spread from top to bottom, and almost everyone who has been involved with officialdom knows it.
In the second year of Chongzhen, the Tartars also rushed into the Great Wall and approached Beijing directly.
The same edict of King Qin was issued, and I met many local officials who wanted to make meritorious contributions, the worst of which was Geng Ruqi, the governor of Shanxi.
This guy is a famous loyal minister in the Qi period, because he offended Wei Zhongxian, he was once sentenced to death, and later after Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he directly overthrew the martyrdom, which saved a life, so he has always been very grateful to Chongzhen.
Seeing King Qin's edict, he immediately responded positively, measured it with the chief soldier Zhang Honggong, and set off directly with the troops.
It's a pity that before he had time to enter the suburbs of Beijing, he was transferred to Tongzhou by a piece of paper, and before he could set up camp in Tongzhou, he was transferred to garrison Changping in these two places, but there was a difference of more than 100 miles between one south and one north, and he was continuously transferred back and forth, and there was not even a little supply of food, and he dragged a new force into a tired army with people and horses.
Later, I found out that the military department did not prepare food for them at all, and did not care about them, that person always had to eat, and he was so hungry that he couldn't care about anything else, so he directly looted on a large scale in the suburbs of Beijing, causing a lot of harm to the common people.
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was furious, and directly put Geng Ruqi and them all to prison and executed, without even seeing each other.
Shanxi's reinforcements came all the way, but they ended up being killed by their own people, which was too chilling.
A lesson from the past, a teacher of the future, there is such a lesson ahead, and which local official dares to respond to King Qin, even if he is named, it is estimated that he will have to delay for a while.
As for the common people, they can't manage three meals a day, and they still lose their heads when they join the army with you? You won't be full, right?
As for the so-called big landlords and bureaucratic class, it has nothing to do with them, anyway, even if the Tartars plunder, they will eventually leave the land, and the common people who have lost their property and cannot live can only sell their land to large households in order to continue to survive.
Therefore, every time the Tartars are wreaking havoc, the big landlord bureaucratic class will reap the same wave of profits.
As long as the looting doesn't affect their property, they want to come once a year.
Gao Ning will not take it seriously, and now the main job is to find a place to resettle the former base, mining and producing Red Alert soldiers.
Then, under the cover of the growing escort army, the military power of the tour is expanded.
Occasionally pull the escort out and beat the surrounding bandits to see blood.
Or ask the Red Police soldiers to disguise themselves as bandits and loot the rich and unkind Zhuangzi.
Remove the restless nodes that lurk beneath the surface.
The surveillance on Laizhou City's side has not stopped, and since Sun Zhiqi contacted Tartar, Gao Ning already knew what they wanted to do.
It's just that there hasn't been much reaction.
A few hundred Tartar soldiers wanted to take Fushan City, but Gao Ning didn't bother him with anything.
After surveying that the group of Tartars had begun to gradually move in the direction of Fushan City recently, Gao Ning thought about it for a while, and directly sent a hundred-person rocket flying team to deal with it directly.
As time went on, the news of the Tartar soldiers was still flying in a disorder, and there was some turmoil among the people, and many people became frightened birds, and their spirits were tense every day, as if they were ready to flee at any time.
It was still chaotic outside, but Fushan City and Lingshanwei gradually stabilized, and the news was still spreading, but the hearts of the people were gradually calming down.
No matter how scary the rumors were, the business in the two places was not affected in any way, the streets were still bustling, and some high-pitched talk could often be seen in the restaurants.
There seems to be more vendors gathering, and recently there have been rare items from Jiangnan on the market, and even strange fruits from the south, especially bananas and mangoes, which have caused a stir.
People are easily influenced by external information, no matter how scary the rumors are, they still believe that seeing is believing, and their doorstep has never been affected, and they always feel that they are false when they listen to those frightening news.
Gao Ning has never come out to refute the rumors, and the refutation of rumors has always been unreliable, just find another focus and divert their attention.
As soon as the millions of tons of bananas and mangoes came out, everyone's attention shifted to this strange and convenient fruit.
The days passed, and soon it was the end of August.
The Laizhou Mansion had gradually cooled down, and the prefect was still lying on his beloved rattan chair, looking a little relaxed.
Some time ago, Tatar contacted him again, and the two sides reached an agreement to cooperate with each other to solve Fushan City.
In order to paralyze Gao Ning's attention, he even sent an envoy, wanting to use King Qin's matter to involve Gao Ning's energy.
Gao Ning had already known what he had in mind, and he didn't even see him, so he slapped a spy over, and the two of them had a few false grievances, and in the end they didn't know what agreement they had reached, and the envoy's face was about to stiffen when he left.
I guess they thought the plan was successful!
Therefore, since 10 years ago, the prefect has been waiting for the good news.
A subordinate hurriedly walked into the back garden, and after a salute, he came to Sun Zhiqi's ear and whispered a few words.
The prefect was slightly stunned, then turned his head and said, "Yours is true, could you be mistaken?"
He thought that he would wait for the news of the defeat of Fushan City, and then find a way to receive the property of Fushan City, but what he didn't expect to wait for was the news of the inexplicable disappearance of Tartar.
Without any warning, after setting off, it was like the world had evaporated, and it disappeared directly!
Did they run away?
The prefect's face changed slightly, and his breathing became a little short.
This is a big hidden danger, and if the news leaks out, the consequences can be quite serious.
If it is known by the imperial court, it will be fine, anyway, there is no evidence, as long as he bites to death and does not admit it, he is sending some silver taels to Lord Shoufu, I believe that he should be able to fool the past, if Gao Ning knows......
The prefect shuddered.
