Chapter 222: Revealed
Speaking of this law, we must start with the rebels. Since the first army revolted, the world has been full of wolves, and the sound of uprisings everywhere has continued. Along with the war, of course, there were big arms sales. Since ancient times, there have been many people who have made war fortunes and become rich overnight.
At that time, although Datang was quite strict in controlling weapons, it did not reach such a point, but it only governed the number and batch of transactions. However, Datang soon discovered that something was wrong. A large number of civilian weapons instantly flowed into the hands of the rebels, and even some people in the army were moved by the huge amount of money, and they actually dared to trade with the rebels privately. Sell weapons intended for military use to rebels at a high price!
The so-called policy above, there are countermeasures below! Since the quantity is limited, then simply make a few more trips, and since the batch is limited, then smuggle it over. In short, this situation became more and more intense, and the imperial court suddenly found that it must not be so laissez-faire.
So, after dealing with a few collaborating generals. Such a policy was immediately enacted, restricting the circulation of weapons throughout the country. The weapons of the people were all collected by the imperial court. Those who made their fortune by reselling weapons were also beheaded by the imperial court for public display.
All that was left of the people was the inferior bows and arrows in the hands of the hunters and some necessary tools. Even so, every hunter must register with the local government, and even the tools can only be issued by the government.
For those city lords and princes who were divided from one side, the control was even more severe. The weapons and ordnance of the army can only be reported to the imperial court and issued by the imperial court. Any city lord who dares to forge weapons privately, no matter what the reason, will be punished for treason and punishment of the nine clans!
The city lord of Quanzhou has been the city lord for so many years, how can he not know about this matter? However, now he can only comfort himself: "The current emperor, who is the king of the Holy Wisdom, will be able to understand my difficulties and will not blame me." ”
Ji Yunkong sneered: "City Lord, do you believe this when you say this?" ”
"What do you mean?" The city lord asked.
"It's not interesting." Ji Yunkong shrugged his shoulders, this action could not only make him relax, but also make the city lord feel relaxed.
"Lord of the City, I admit that the current emperor is indeed a rare Saint Ming monarch. Even, all of you underestimated him, if it was placed tens of thousands of years ago, his achievements would not be lower than the Three Emperors. Ji Yunkong did not hesitate to praise the emperor, "Moreover, not only him, but also the prime minister of the court, the eldest grandson, is also a rare virtuous minister; From Uncle Chen to General Chen, he is the pillar of the country once in a century. But...... What about them? ”
Ji Yunkong's question made the city lord speechless.
Ji Yunkong didn't care about the city lord, and then said: "The current court is like a rotten and rotten wood, and it is definitely not something that one or two new branches can change. If you want to change this situation, there are only two ways, one is to treat it from the root, only when the root is good, the whole tree can be rejuvenated; Another way is to cut down the tree in a big way and plant a new one next to him! ”
"What the hell do you mean? I don't understand! At this moment, a cold sweat was already breaking out on the city lord's head.
Ji Yunkong's body leaned forward slightly, which could give people a sense of oppression, especially to make his figure magnify in the eyes of the other party. "Well, since you don't understand, then let's talk about another issue." Ji Yunkong had a weird smile on his face.
"Lord City Lord, if you want to come to the position of the City Lord of Quanzhou, it should make many colleagues blush, right? Let's assume that you send someone to successfully break through and go outside to ask for help. Then with the help of reinforcements, they repelled the army of Jiuyang Village. What's next? As long as any one of them joins you, they say that you have forged weapons without permission. Can you imagine the consequences? ”
"Quanzhou is a piece of fat, the reason why you were able to become the city lord of Quanzhou, I'm afraid it wasn't because of any bright means, right? Once this matter is played, will those colleagues who are jealous of you be indifferent? I'm afraid that your performance won't reach the emperor at all, so you will be stopped, right? It's so easy to move a toothless tiger. Will your boss protect you because of your past friendships? Or will they not hesitate to betray you under a large amount of gold and silver? As long as there is one city lord in Quanzhou, it is enough, and it doesn't have much impact on them anyway. ”
The more Ji Yunkong spoke, the faster he spoke, not giving the Quanzhou City Lord any time to react at all. In fact, even after careful consideration, he could not find the slightest excuse to refute it. The city lord knew that the follow-up would definitely develop according to the script that Ji Yunkong said. The final result is that his family is exterminated!
"You...... Who are you? The city lord pointed his trembling finger at Ji Yunkong, at this moment, if he believed that Ji Yunkong was an ordinary businessman, then he would really have a brain in water.
Ji Yunkong smiled faintly and said, "The city lord is serious, in Xia Ji Yunkong, he is the one who will end this troubled world." ”
Rao is city lord was in a strong shock, and when he heard Ji Yunkong's words, he couldn't help but pause for a long time. He has seen a lot of crazy people, but he has never seen such an arrogant madman. However, seeing the evil smile on Ji Yunkong's face, he suddenly felt that this madman didn't seem to be talking much about what he just said.
"You...... You...... Don't? The city lord's face turned red with a sigh of relief, and he couldn't say a word trembling all over.
Of course, Ji Yunkong knew what the city lord wanted to ask, and nodded briskly: "You guessed right, everything was planned by me. Including business, going to sea, the Ping An Army, and now, all under my plan. Ji Yunkong raised his eyebrows, with an expression of "You lie because you are stupid, and if you don't accept it, you will beat me".
"Gas...... I'm mad at me! The city lord "poofed" and fell backwards, unconscious.
After a long time, the city lord woke up. But he found that he was already lying on the bed in the room, beside him, his wife and the guards of Quanzhou were surrounded there.
Seeing the city lord wake up, the lady hurriedly helped him up and said, "Husband, how are you?" I heard that you fainted suddenly, and when Ji Gongzi sent you here, I was scared to death. ”
"It's Ji Yun...... Ji Gongzi sent me here? The city lord wondered.
"Of course," said Madame, nodding, "you fainted while you were talking to him, and of course he sent you here." ”
The city lord nodded: "Oh, how long have I been in a coma?" ”
The guard on the side replied, "City Lord, you have been in a coma for a day. The army outside the city was very strange, they only blocked the road to Quanzhou in all directions, but they did not seem to have any intention of attacking. ”
The city lord smiled bitterly, of course he knew that all this was arranged by Ji Yunkong. He was sure that he would not turn his face with him, not to mention whether he could stay after turning his face, just the army of Jiuyang Village outside could instantly break through Quanzhou and tear himself to pieces.
However, the city lord also knew that Ji Yunkong was running out of time for himself. Even if Jiuyangzhai blocks all the roads to Quanzhou, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and over time, the surrounding towns will surely hear the news that Quanzhou is besieged. Ji Yunkong will definitely break through Quanzhou before the reinforcements arrive, and since he has laid out this game, he will not give himself any chance.
In front of the city lord, it seems that there is really only one path
