Chapter 927 - Hard and Soft

"The proprietor, why did you take this appointment, this is to greatly offend those Jiangnan gentry. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" returned to the mansion and told the situation to his staff, the staff were suddenly shocked, they didn't expect His Majesty the Emperor to hand over such a tricky task to Hong Chengchou, how powerful the Jiangnan gentry were when they hugged the group, even Wei Zhongxian didn't dare to easily plunder his edge back then, once he was a little careless, Hong Chengchou would be crushed.

"Your Majesty is not the first emperor, and this official is not Wei Zhongxian." Hong Chengchou has been partnering with these people for many years, and he guessed their thoughts at once, "Your Majesty sent General Cao to lead 30,000 elites south, in addition to quelling the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, it is to support the official, if those gentry don't know how to lift, General Cao's knife doesn't recognize people." ”

Of course, Hong Chengchou thought about the danger faced by this matter, but danger often means opportunity, if he can handle this matter well, then his status in His Majesty's heart will be greatly increased; Recalling that since His Majesty ascended the throne, especially after Huang Taiji entered the customs, the county has revealed the atmosphere of a generation of British lords, far from being comparable to the first emperor who worked as a carpenter in the palace.

His Majesty the Emperor has drastically eliminated the maladministration of the imperial court, and has successively solved the problems of the Jin merchants, the northwest refugees, the Jiannu, the Guanning army, the Dongjiang town and the Jiubian military town, and the demise of Lin Dan Khan is only a matter of time; But the Jiangnan gentry are still stubborn, and they can't see the changes in the court for a long time, and their greed has also made His Majesty the Emperor more and more disgusted, and he has lost the trust of the emperor, plus with the help of Cao Wenzhao's 30,000 army, what is he afraid of?

"His Majesty the Emperor wants this official to be a knife that results in the Jiangnan gentry, and this official must do a good job." Hong Chengchou still sees his identity very clearly, "If you listen to your wishes, this official will go to Jiangnan to take a look, and then hello, I am such a big guy, this will definitely not pass Your Majesty's level; Don't think that pinching a few flies to death can deceive Your Majesty, Cao Huachun and Luo Yangxing's men are not dry meals; If that's the case, it's my turn to lose my head. ”

As soon as I remembered that those court officials involved in the case of Jin Shang and Guan Ningjun were killed at the entrance of the vegetable market, these staff members instantly quieted down, yes, now it is very different from when the first emperor was in power, Your Majesty is a character who does not rub sand in his eyes, and he disposed of such a large number of officials so decisively, can the Jiangnan gentry still be better? Even if they are powerful, are they bigger than these important members of the court?

"But Jiangnan is not the capital, as the saying goes, the raptors don't suppress the head snake, and you have to be careful when you go to their territory to do things." Seeing Hong Chengchou's look of hesitation, these people knew that he had made up his mind, so from their point of view, it was no longer appropriate to say anything more, but to plan according to his will How to deal with these people in Jiangnan.

"Now that the chaos is everywhere, these people have long been overwhelmed by the chaos people, so can they still put their minds on this official?" Hong Chengchou has always been arrogant and arrogant, where he will look at the waste in Jiangnan who only knows the wind and snow, those people may be good at making a fuss and talking about the scriptures, but when it comes to strategy, they are not even worthy of lifting shoes for him, "Of course, Your Majesty does not mean to uproot all the gentry in Jiangnan, if someone is interested, they will let them live, if they are not interested, those heads at the entrance of the vegetable market are their example, and a large number of immigrants are still needed to reclaim Liuqiu and Liaodong, Their families are afraid that they will only spend their next life in these two places. ”

"And these Jiangnan gentry are not monolithic, they have been in Jiangnan for so many years, and they have already accumulated countless contradictions with each other, coupled with the creation of a new loom, it has intensified the contradictions between them, they all think that someone else stole the new loom from their own hands to build a method, so they delayed their money-making plan, and caused this disaster, so they complained." Li You made such an arrangement not only to provoke the weavers to make trouble and mess up Jiangnan, but more importantly, to drive a wedge between the gentry in Jiangnan.

"So the official plans to use both soft and hard, win over a group and then attack a group, instigate these Jiangnan gentry to fight by themselves first, and when they lose both sides and lose their strength, the official will come forward to clean up the mess." After saying so much, Hong Chengchou finally came up with his own plan, in another world, when he led the Jiannu army to pacify Jiangnan, he used similar methods, and it was also aimed at the flaw of the Jiangnan gentry.

"In the final analysis, these Jiangnan gentry have no military power in their hands after all, and the imperial court really wants to deal with them, and it is not much trouble; The trouble is how to keep Jiangnan from being occupied by these gentry again. "This is also what Li You said when he called Hong Chengchou to the study after retreating from the dynasty, it is not difficult to break an old world, but it is rare to build a new world," Your Majesty has some general arrangements for this, but we still need to refer to the details. ”

After that, Hong Chengchou and these staff got together and began to stay up late to improve all kinds of details, just like what he just said, now this majesty is very different from the first emperor and even the previous emperors of the Ming Dynasty, if you want to get his favor, you must have real skills, and be able to do something, like those old ministers before, I am afraid that it will not work.

As long as you can do what His Majesty ordered, you will be reused, for example, Lu Xiangsheng's official position back then was not as good as him, gritted his teeth and abandoned the text after a few years of martial arts, and now he is the first person in the Ming Dynasty, and he has also obtained the title, as long as he does not make mistakes in the future, the Lu family will definitely be able to become a British Duke and Wei Guogong in the future, which is so enviable; Thinking of Lu Xiangsheng's encounter, Hong Chengchou's eyes were red with jealousy, since His Majesty had given such a good opportunity this time, he also wanted to make a career like Lu Xiangsheng, so as to leave endless wealth for their Hong family.

From the next day, the capable personnel of the Yamen such as Jinyiwei, Dongchang, Sanfa Division, and Hubu continued to come to Hong Chengchou to report.

A few days later, a thousand soldiers and horses escorted Hong Chengchou's Qincha team to the south, and those Jiangnan gentry did not care after hearing this, they regarded it as the same existence as those court officials before, unaware that a greater threat than the chaotic people was about to reach Jiangnan, and soon they would see the determination of the imperial court to rectify Jiangnan.
