Chapter 213: Planning for a Crisis
readx;? Lu Changan's worries are not unreasonable, and his speculation is also correct, but unfortunately he lacks the part of the information that Yang Jing obtained, so his consideration of the entire overall situation is not as comprehensive as Yang Jing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In his opinion, submitting information to the imperial court will not only be useless, but will startle the snake, but Yang Jing knows that if the information is not transmitted, it will be the real surprise!
So Yang Jing instructed Lu Chang'an: "This situation is urgent, it concerns the entire south, and it is my responsibility to send an urgent report of six hundred miles to the imperial court immediately, and at the same time, let the brothers stop all the work at hand and deal with this matter first!"
"After a while, the official will write a secret letter, you hand it to Luo Jin, and tell him that his opportunity has come, whether he can grasp it, whether he dares to gamble or not, it depends on his own meaning. ”
"Yes, sir!"
"Well, you go down, let Li Yu gather all the brothers, this time the matter is very important, it is very likely to lose my head, I want to see them first. ”
"Yes, sir!"
When Lu Changan heard this, he was also very uneasy, but when Yang Jing wrote a secret letter on the desk and used the fire paint seal of the Imperial City Division, Lu Changan also retreated according to Yang Jing's instructions.
Yang Jing originally wanted to visit Lu Baiyu, but now he had to put it aside for the time being, first found Yang Zhixian, and then came to Mu Zicai's study again.
Yang Jing couldn't hide his identity, although Yang Zhixian may have known it for a long time, but at this time, he heard Yang Jing confirm it himself, and he was still a little embarrassed.
The Imperial City Division Jiangling Mansion is already a high-ranking official from the fifth grade, and how old is Yang Jing? How long has he been in the officialdom?
However, now is not the time to dwell on this issue, and after hearing Yang Jing explain the situation in the southwest, the two were also shocked.
Raise the flag in the southwest, the next step will definitely be to the Central Plains, Hubei and Hunan bear the brunt, and Mu Zicai is not unconcerned with himself, if Yang Jing can stop this incident and sabotage this uprising, then Hunan and Hubei will be safe.
But if they do nothing and let the situation develop, the next target will be the place where he Mu Zicai governs!
They were originally high-ranking scholars, and they were not ashamed to ask for their lives for the people in the court, and they should take the people as the most important, the society as the second, and the monarch as the lightest, but there are not many people who can do some practical things for the people.
At present, the people of the southwest are about to fall into dire straits, and they naturally cannot stand idly by!
Yang Jing, as the official of the Imperial City Division, naturally had to go to Juzhou in person, and the rest of the things had to be handed over to Mu Zicai and others, including contacting local military forces and training armies.
But Yang Jing doesn't want to make too much trouble, but tries to select elites, not caring about the number of people, but about the quality.
In addition, Yang Jing also planned to recruit soldiers from the Miao, Dong, Shui, Yao, Tujia and other ethnic groups in the name of the imperial court, which was led by Yang Jing, but the court's negotiations required Mu Zi to come forward.
These ethnic minorities are the same as those in the southwest region, and they are also a little disobedient to the discipline of the imperial court, if they can take this opportunity to let Mu Zicai recruit and appease these people, it will definitely be a great achievement, and it is impossible for the imperial court not to agree!
And Yang Jing also asked Mu Zicai to help these ethnic minorities fight for welfare as much as possible, let the imperial court give preferential treatment to these ethnic minority groups, give them legal identity and status, and give them preferential policies in terms of taxes and other aspects, in exchange for these people's troops.
Whether it is the Yuezhou Army on Luo Jin's side, or the ethnic minorities led by Old Man Lu and Longxu Tusi and others, they all have a lot of friendship with Yang Jing, and they have all seen Yang Jing's ability, but after all, it is a matter of life and death that will lose their heads, and Yang Jing must come up with enough chips if he wants to convince them.
And Yang Jing's biggest backer is the imperial court, instead of letting those traitorous ministers in the court squander the people's fat and ointment, it is better to let Mu Zicai take the opportunity to fight for some benefits and use these wealth to do some right things!
In addition, Yang Jing also took into account some worries from other aspects, summoned Zong Yun and the others, and discussed until the second half of the night before they dispersed.
Originally, he said that he was going to visit Lu Baiyu, but he didn't expect to encounter this thing again, and now in the middle of the night, Lu Baiyu didn't sleep, and Yang Jing didn't dare to bother anymore, and he didn't eat anything, so he had to touch his hungry stomach and sneak to the kitchen to find something to eat.
Just came to the front of the kitchen, Yang Jing saw the kitchen lights on, walked in to see, there was no one inside, but there was a sea bowl on the table, with another sea bowl buckled, open to see, there was steaming pimple noodles, floating green onions, although there is no oil and water, there is no chili pepper in this era, but it still exudes an attractive fragrance.
Yang Jing glanced around, thinking that it was cooked by a servant, and he didn't dare to eat other people's things, so he walked out of the kitchen and looked around, but there was no one to see, so he had to return to the kitchen.
When he looked at the bowl of noodles again, he noticed that there were several small dishes such as soy sauce and pickles on the table, and a note was pressed under one of the plates.
Yang Jing took out a note and looked at it, which read: "Eat." ”
Although there are only two words, Yang Jing can already see that it is Lu Baiyu's handwriting!
Thinking that Lu Baiyu had just recovered from his serious injury, and he couldn't visit as promised, even if he didn't go to visit as promised, he might have to let many Miao people fall into the war soon, and it was inevitable that he would be killed and injured.
He even regretted a little, he shouldn't involve ethnic minorities such as the Miao and Dong families, but these people's combat effectiveness is much stronger than the soldiers of the imperial court, and if they are equipped with the same quality of weapons, these barbarians will definitely be even sharper!
However, on the other hand, the life of these ethnic minority brothers is very difficult, and it is precisely because of the harsh living environment and living conditions that they have forged their fierce folk customs, iron-blooded character, and tenacious will.
Yang Jing has asked Mu Zicai to fight for the interests of the imperial court to the greatest extent, the seriousness of this matter is self-evident, the imperial court cannot close its eyes and abandon it, and other armies cannot be transferred, I believe that they must be willing to spend some money and food to "hire" these barbarians.
In this way, the brothers of the ethnic minorities are also guaranteed, and moreover, Yang Jing does not want large-scale conflicts to break out, and the reason why he recruits these barbarians is also to increase their combat experience and prepare for the future wars in troubled times!
Thinking of this, Yang Jing put down the burden in his heart, and ate the noodles in a big gulp with side dishes.
Although Yang Jing was a little surprised, but if she thought about it, it should be Lu Yueniang and Zhou Nanchu who were put back, and Lu Baiyu saw that Yang Jing didn't care about her previous suspicions, so this meal could be regarded as her reward.
When he was hungry, everything was delicious, and Yang Jing ate so much that he had a round stomach, burped, and was extremely comfortable, and even drank up the noodle soup.
After coming out of the kitchen, Yang Jing didn't feel too sleepy, so he walked around casually, planning to eliminate his food.
As soon as he walked into the courtyard, he saw Zong Yun boxing, so Yang Jing stopped and watched quietly.
At first, Zong Yun played Tai Chi, and Yang Jing didn't care too much, because he had already passed on half of the Tai Chi moves to Zong Yun, but Zong Yun always started over and over again, and until now he is still playing the first dozen or so styles, Yang Jing feels extremely boring, but Zong Yun is willing to do it.
Zong Yun also saw Yang Jing, and after playing Tai Chi a few times, he easily played the matching palm technique of the Jinguan Jade Lock, and Yang Jing was just about to digest and digest it, so he followed and practiced on the side.
After this palming session, Yang Jing suddenly felt that his whole body was comfortable, and there was a warm breath swimming in his body, and his hands and feet were hot.
Yang Jing struck while the iron was hot again, sat down cross-legged, meditated, and practiced for a week, only then did he open his eyes slightly.
At this time, Zong Yun had already stopped, and he was protecting Yang Jing on the side, because he knew that he was most afraid of being disturbed by someone when he was exercising.
Yang Jing looked up at the cold moon in the sky, and said to Zongyun, "Hey, do you want to tell me about your master?"
Although Yang Jing had asked several questions and was rejected each time, he still did not give up and asked again.
Zong Yun just warned Yang Jing coldly, as before, and was about to leave with his feet raised.
But this time, Yang Jing said: "Although you don't say it, I can guess some"
Zong Yun heard Yang Jing say this, so he stopped, but did not turn around, as if he was ready to leave.
Yang Jing looked at Zong Yun's back, then slowly stood up, stretched his waist, and then said.
"Tomorrow, we will set off for Guizhou City, the spies of the Imperial City Division said that the scale of the Water and Land Festival of the White Cow Holy Mother of the World is very large, and many martial arts sects will send people to watch the ceremony, including the Quanzhen Sect."
"Although you don't want to say it, but the Quanzhen Sect is the mountain gate of the official family's imperial seal, and you dare to secretly send people to participate in the White Bull Sect's puja, this official, as the affairs of the Imperial City Division, will never stand idly by!"
Yang Jing said this, but Zong Yun was still silent, Yang Jing glanced at it, under the cold moonlight, Zong Yun was as depressed as a cold bamboo in late autumn, but his hands had unconsciously clenched into fists!
Yang Jing pondered for a moment, then walked to Zong Yun's side and said to him: "I know you want to revitalize Wang Daoming's lineage, this festival is actually no different from the martial arts conference, for you, it is a good opportunity, it is better to do this."
"I will bring a lot of people to watch the ceremony, in order to hide our identities, let's just put on Taoist robes, pretend to be disciples of your Wang Daoming lineage, and help you become famous in the world by the way, announcing the official return of your master's lineage to the martial arts, what do you think?"
Zong Yun finally turned his head and asked Yang Jing, "What do you want?"
Obviously, Yang Jing's plan aroused Zong Yun's interest, and when he heard Zong Yun take the initiative to put forward the conditions, Yang Jing opened his mouth like a lion, and laughed: "This is your own mouth, so let's kowtow to me and worship me as a teacher, hahaha!"
Zong Yun snorted coldly, raised his feet and walked forward, but the sound clearly reached Yang Jing's ears.
"It's impossible to be a brother, and if you don't stumble in the future, even if you are not a friend, you won't be your enemy, so you should be content. ”
Under the moonlight, Yang Jing clearly saw Zong Yun's extremely rare smile as his cheeks bulged.
Yang Jing hurriedly caught up, put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Duplicity, isn't it? If you want to laugh, you can laugh, how uncomfortable it is!"
Zong Yun: "It's just a toothache." ”
Yang Jing didn't break it, smiled, looked at the sky again, and saw that Zong Yun was no longer as indifferent as before, so he continued to hook his shoulders and suggested to him.
"Don't sleep, it's almost dawn anyway, let's go to the garment shop and buy the robe, I haven't worn the robe since I grew so big."
Zong Yun subconsciously replied, "Okay." ”
But he seemed to find something wrong, his eyes were full of murderous eyes staring at Yang Jing's hand on his shoulder, and he said coldly: "Take it away." ”
Yang Jing pursed his lips and said, "It's not a girl, you won't touch it, are you inlaid with gold!"
Although he said this, Yang Jing still withdrew his hand, took Zong Yun out of the county office, and walked in the direction of Li Wanniang's silk village.
