Chapter 490: The Prince's Mansion (2)
In Du Yinxi's impression, the Fusang people are just clowns jumping off the beam on the other side of the sea.
But Ling Jingyang told him that the Fusang people had landed on the Goryeo Peninsula and were conquering the peninsula kingdom, and it would not be long before the Fusang forces and the Jiannu forces would clash, and there would be a war between the two.
"How can the Fusang people be the opponents of Jiannu, in my opinion, Jiannu can drive the Fusang people into the sea in three months at most."
"The Point Guard Is Here"
During the Wanli period, the Ming army defeated the Fusang people, the Qing army's combat effectiveness was stronger than the Ming army, and the Fusang people came to the peninsula to die.
Seeing that he cared so much about expelling Jiannu, Ling Jingyang went one step further and said: "Blocking the scriptures, Jiannu has driven away, will the Great Western Army and the Great Shun Army also be exterminated together?" ”
When the Ming Dynasty was in danger, the Dashun Army and the Daxi Army abandoned their grievances and resisted the Qing army's iron cavalry southward with the Ming army.
Plug Yinxi couldn't bear to exterminate Dashun and Daxi, he calmed down for a while, and said leisurely.
"I thought that I would remove his title and give him a different surname."
"That's just a stopgap measure, and it won't be long before another large-scale battle breaks out in the world, when all sides have gathered strength, and more people are afraid of dying."
"Then you say, what should I do?"
Ling Jingyang was stunned by Yinxi's rhetorical question, and quickly recovered his demeanor.
"There is only one emperor in the world, and there is also a court, our three families resisted the Qing Dynasty, defeated, they are all Manchurian slaves, and if they win, they will continue to compete with each other.
Du Yinxi suddenly narrowed his eyes, he felt that the person in front of him was not a martial artist, nor was he a virtuous minister.
It is a rebellious thief full of ambition, and at this time his heart is tumbling, and he has a lot to say, but he can't say it.
"If the Ming Dynasty does not innovate, I am afraid that it will not be able to defeat Jiannu, nor can it be defeated by the Great Shun Army and Daxi, and continue to let the Huangzhuang, the official eunuchs are rampant, and they will not be able to collect the silver, even if they are still in the north of Zhili, the Dashun Army will still break through Shuntianfu again, and the Daxi Army will also break through Yingtianfu."
These words made Ling Jingyang change from a chaotic minister and a thief to a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, and Du Yinxi also gave up his hostility towards him, and the two finally decided to collect taxes in Changsha Mansion and then go north to Xiangyang Mansion.
When it was time for dinner, the two returned to the hall from the attic, Ling Jingyang returned to the hall, and saw that the generals under his command did not stand and sat one by one.
In stark contrast to the bureaucracy of Changsha Prefecture.
The officials of Changsha Mansion were also very tired, but at least they still kept sitting, Ling Jingyang coughed vigorously, and the generals under his command immediately resumed their sitting posture.
Du Yinxi and everyone announced that tomorrow he would lead the army to Baoqing Mansion to recruit troops, and the affairs of Changsha Mansion would be handled by the Governor of Lingdu.
As soon as these words came out, they were shocked, and Du Yinxi and Ling Jingyang clenched their fists with both hands, and left with a group of stunned subordinates.
In order to reduce the pressure on Ling Jingyang's taxation, Du Yinxi took Changsha City officials to Baoqing Mansion overnight.
But he didn't let Leng Rutie go to Baoqing Mansion, and secretly ordered Leng Rutie to be stationed in the north of Changsha City, preventing Ling Jingyang from occupying the dove's nest and occupying Changsha City.
At dawn the next day, Changsha City changed its owner, Ling Jing asked Gao Ding to maintain law and order in the city, Zhou Yuan led the troops directly under him to collect taxes, and the other troops practiced inside and outside the city, Ling Jingyang specially asked the guards to hide the captured Fusang rifles, bullets and grenades and other weapons were all buried outside the city, and they were taken away when they were withdrawn to Wuchang Mansion.
Leng Rutie got a secret order to block Yinxi, no matter what Ling Jingyang did in the city, don't interfere, but half a month later, Ling Jingyang didn't leave, Leng Rutie had to make a gesture and expel Ling Jingyang's soldiers and horses.
King Ji of Changsha City, he didn't know that Du Yinxi was leaving, and early in the morning he heard a group of people knocking on the door outside, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly put on his clothes.
A few years ago, Changsha City was broken by the Great Western Army, he was almost scared to death, if he didn't run fast, I was afraid that he would be boiled by the Great Western Army, as long as he heard movement outside the door, he wanted to run to Guangdong.
There were guards and officials in the palace, and they roared loudly inside the door to the outside.
"Early in the morning, who doesn't have long eyes?"
Before he could finish speaking, the door was kicked open.
Zhou Yuan rushed in with more than a hundred soldiers, each soldier had a gloomy face, looking at the people in the palace with weapons,
The officials and guards of the palace looked at each other, is this the flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, or what's the matter, could it be that this group of Qiu Ba in the city surrendered to the Great Western Army?
Zhou Yuan smiled and said to them: "Everyone, I am Zhou Yuan, the governor of the Five Armies, and I came to collect taxes on the orders of the governor. ”
As soon as he heard that it was an official of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, the officials of the Royal Mansion immediately showed a look of disdain.
"It's just a dog in the Governor's Palace?"
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Yuan stepped forward with three slaps, the Ming soldiers stepped forward with spears, and there were only dozens of people in the royal guards, where did they dare to fight with this group of Qiu Ba who licked blood on the knife's edge, and let Zhou Yuan slap him.
After Zhou Yuan slapped him, he said: "Jiwang's mansion has thousands of acres of fertile land, shops are like forests, he didn't pay taxes in the past few years, and he didn't respect the imperial court, so Zhang Xianzhong robbed it, why, do you want Zhang Xianzhong to rob it again?" ”
No one dared to respond to Zhou Yuan's words.
At this time, a middle-aged man walked tremblingly from the backyard.
He is the king of this generation, and when he heard what Zhou Yuan said, he stepped forward and asked, "Blocking the scriptures and leaving the scriptures?" ”
"Well, let's go, go to Baoqing Mansion to recruit troops, and lead the army north to Xiangyang Mansion in the near future, and fight for life and death with Jiannu."
King Ji looked at it, his eyes were full of strange generals, these soldiers were wearing Ming armor, but they were not the soldiers of Yinxi, and they didn't give them some silver today, for fear that they would be robbed.
He was not the slightest arrogant, lowered his eyebrows and said: "Soldiers, I have five hundred taels of silver here, and I am willing to give it to all the warriors to fight for the tooth." ”
Five hundred taels of silver?
Zhou Yuan thought that he had heard it wrong, five hundred taels of silver was the salary of a team of 100 people for a month, and he didn't care about the dignity of King Ji.
"The change of Jiashen, Lord Chongzhen begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother in the capital, he was stunned that he couldn't raise military salaries, Li Zicheng broke through the capital, but he beat the princes and ministers to call grandpa, and tens of millions of taels of silver came out, and the prince also wanted the Great Western Army to rob Changsha City again?"
King Ji remembered the day when the Great Western Army broke through the city, and he was so frightened that he almost fell, and the guards and officials on the side were busy supporting him.
"How much do you want?"
"Twenty-one agricultural tax and one-tenth commercial tax, so let's set it."
Zhou Yuan also pretended to say that as long as this year's taxes were robbed by Zhang Xianzhong, he didn't want them.
King Ji's face is just better, he is reluctant to pay silver, but he is more afraid of death, whether it is the Qing army, the Dashun army or the Great Western Army, it is a word for the king of Zhu Ming, kill, kill the head to the ground, and continue to kill.
He didn't want his head to be cut off before the silver was spent, and there were still 200,000 pieces of silver in the cellar of the palace, and thousands of horses of silk.
"This general, if you want to collect taxes, you can do it, but you must let this king and the governor of Lingdu meet, right?"
