Chapter 464: Hit the Money! Hit the money!
At the beginning of March of the 7th year of Huaxia, the Nanjiang operation came to an end.
After the bandits retreated, Ji'an Mansion took the lead in recovering the lost territory, and the official army was like a rainbow, expelling the bandits from the territory of Ji'an Mansion in one fell swoop, and once entered Ganzhou Mansion to pursue the bandits!
The bandits "collapsed into an army", and were driven by the officials and soldiers to come to Yandu County before they stood still, and the bandit leader Zhao Mazi also appeared in Yandu and gathered troops here.
When the last more than 30,000 bandits gathered in Yandu County, the officers and troops of Ji'an Prefecture retreated, and "solidarity" with the officers and soldiers of Ganzhou in the north of Yandu County.
Just when the third division of Ganzhou was about to reap the lost ground, the bandits who everyone thought were about to "collapse" suddenly advanced in two ways and reached the city of Ganzhou!
Not only that, but the bandit division also went around the rear and outflanked, defeating the pursuing officers and soldiers of Ji'an Mansion in one fell swoop, and then took Guiyuan Town to realize the siege of Ganzhou Mansion on three sides.
The prefect of Ganzhou shook, the prefect of Ji'an shook, Ganxian was in an emergency, and the officers and soldiers were almost helpless by this sudden change.
How did the bandits, who originally kept their promises, suddenly attack the city again?
Outside the city of Ganzhou Prefecture, Zhao Yunyi immediately paid tribute to the water, holding binoculars to observe this city, he had hit Ningbo City, and at a glance he felt that this city was more dangerous than Ningbo City.
It is not only located at the confluence of the three rivers, but the river north of this city is actually more than a mile wide!
After crossing the confluence of the three rivers, the river channels of Gongshui or Zhangshui are seriously cut, and they look much narrower, but in fact, the water flow is faster and deeper.
The Eight Mirror Towers in the city can directly observe the situation outside the city, and as long as there is a beacon flag order, it can command the defenders to respond.
Not only that, the area in Ganzhou City was deliberately built small, in order to take advantage of the momentum of mountains and rivers.
Such a strong city must be bombarded with heavy artillery! Zhao Yunyi also sighed deeply, feeling that if he used the effort of repairing Ganzhou City to build a fortress, he was afraid that tens of thousands of troops would not be able to gnaw at it.
But he wasn't ready to gnaw, he received an order before leaving, and the king felt that he couldn't cheapen the corrupt officials in Ganzhou Mansion, so he asked him to blackmail.
He came with his troops and did only three things: to make money! Hit the money! It's still fucking money!
If they want to withdraw their troops generously, the officials and people of Ganzhou Mansion must give a fee for pulling out, otherwise, Ji'an has recovered the lost territory, and the three divisions of Ganzhou will not be able to take the lead, not to mention that there is no way to shake the pot, even if the future is not even to think about it.
"Go, Luo Sancai! Tell the prefect that there is no 200,000 taels of silver, and I, Zhao Mazi, will live under the city of Ganzhou for a long time! β
β¦β¦
Luo Sancai was the Xiucai who took refuge at first, and after he got the order, he came to the city with a festival, and he was quickly hung up by the basket with his arrogant attitude.
He didn't know that the bandits were about to retreat, but in the past six months, he had seen the strong strength of the bandits, and he felt that they could do it!
This inexhaustible food alone made him greatly impressed, and as a talented scholar who read the books of sages and sages, he couldn't see anything unusual here.
So relying on the support of the bandits, he walked into the palace with a high spirit, and said with a grin: "I am Luo Sancai, the military master under King Zhao, if you know each other, quickly hand over 200,000 taels of silver, otherwise, my army will strike with thunder, and Ganzhou City will be turned into a sea of fire!" β
Zhou Gu was sitting in the middle hall, sitting on the right hand side was Tongzhi and Tongju, and Cao Jun was on the Eight Mirrors Platform today, monitoring the movements of the bandits.
When the three of them saw the arrogant Luo Sancai, they didn't get angry, but tasted this sentence seriously.
Zhou Gu arched his hand and said: "Looking at Your Excellency's dress, it seems that you are also a scholar?" β
"Students are not talented, but they have been talented for ten years!" Luo Sancai replied contemptuously.
"So, you're a thief?" Chen Zishi sneered.
Luo Sancai pointed and said, "Thief? Ma Jun is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, how can it be compared to a horse that harms the people? β
Zhou Gu's face was displeased, he hung his head and thought about it and said, "Zhao Mazi said that he would withdraw the army after giving the silver?" β
"Naturally!" Luo Sancai arched his hand towards the south and said, "My lord has always been true to his word!" β
Yu Kairui sneered: "It's a good word, it's really embarrassing for him Zhao Mazi, a black man has worked tirelessly to come to my Ming Dynasty to rob!" β
Luo Sancai was stunned, blinked his eyes and said, "What kind of black man?" My lord is robbing the rich and giving to the poor! β
"What a good minion!" Yu Kairui smiled shamefully: "I don't even know who the master is, and I dare to die with all my heart." β
"You...... What do you mean by that? Luo Sancai's tone froze.
Zhou Gu waved his hand and said, "Your envoy will go down and rest first!" Wait for us to discuss a matter or two. β
Luo Sancai was a little stunned and was invited to the side hall by his subordinates, could it be that the wise and martial King Zhao is a person from Shaanxi?
It's just that the word "black" is so familiar?
After he left, Zhou Gu looked at the two people sitting down, and said with a headache: "What do you think about 200,000 taels of silver?" β
"Too much! The treasury was deported to Beijing, and last year's summer and autumn two endowments were confiscated again, where to get the 200,000 taels? Yu Kairui said.
Chen Zishi also nodded and said: "This is clearly a bamboo pole, now that Ji'an has recovered the lost territory, we are left in Ganzhou Mansion, presumably the excerpt of the victory has been on the road!" If...... Let them say everything, our Fucheng is in a hurry again, I'm afraid it's true...... There is no turning place. And if the city is broken, then everything will be saved, let's hurry up to the Eight Mirrors Platform and find a suitable crooked neck tree! β
Zhou Gu sighed: "That's right!" We can't recover the lost ground earlier, we have already fallen behind in the matter of retribution, if the city really loses, then it will be powerless to return to the sky! And this Ji'an Mansion has already made merit first, and it will definitely not help cover it up, if it drags on for a month or two, then the guilt is ours! β
"But where are you going to get the 200,000 taels of silver?" Yu Kairui asked.
Zhou Gu wrinkled his eyebrows tightly, and his face was a little less angry.
After thinking for a long time, he said, "There is only one way!" β
"What's the method?"
"Find big households in the city to pledge, and then find people to pledge, how much can you get! The rich merchants in the city, as long as they have no foundation and shallow foundation, they are all ......" Zhou Gu gestured.
Yu Kairui and Chen Zishi both lowered their eyes, how could they not understand the meaning of these words?
"In this way, it is also a dilemma!" Chen Zishi took a long time to express his position, and he was still thinking about the fun.
"The Great Age of Genes"
Yu Kairui also said: "I have to do it now!" β
This is a desperate fight, so I bet that after they get on the fold, the court will listen to them more.
Because of such a large rope in the whole city, it is bound to offend the gentry in the city, and these gentry and gentry have a way in the court, and the affairs in the city must not be hidden.
As long as they can say that the dead are alive, then the whole city of Dasuo can become a bandit in the city, and the wise prefect has a good sense of everything, so the whole city of Dasuo has a rich merchant who has robbed several bandits.
In a word, the people who bet on the court believe their words more! Of course, bribes for eunuchs are indispensable, who made Gonggong Liu a big celebrity now?
β¦β¦
The next day, the city of Ganzhou was full of the crying of the people, and many small families became the targets of looting.
The three divisions of Ganzhou did not have the courage to suppress the bandits, but they had the courage to make money in the name of the bandits, and they almost squeezed out all the people in the city for 200,000 taels of silver.
The gentry and big families probably took the lead in pledging a hundred taels of silver, but the small families were miserable, they not only had to pledge, but they also had to be oppressed by the small officials.
In the whole process, there was even a matter of overt robbery, but the government didn't want to rob it, how could it care about this chaos?
Many families had to be forced to break their homes, and those who didn't have enough money even had to be taken away by the officials.
The government is unwilling to fight to the death, not because the city defense of Ganzhou is not strong, but because they have to keep their future and black yarn hat.
Therefore, the broadsword would rather cut at the people than at the bandits.
I'd rather give friends than house slaves, it's really not just talking! In this land of the Ming Dynasty, how can he ever treat cattle and horses as people?
Eight days later, 200,000 taels of silver were enough, and Ganzhou City was also depressed.
Luo Sancai went out of the city with the silver beautifully, how arrogant and arrogant he was, he would be able to succeed with Ma Ye.
After Zhao Yunyi saw the silver, he also readily ordered the army to retreat.
It's just that instead of withdrawing to Yandu County, it completely abandoned the four counties and directly withdrew to Luojia Town.
After Luo Sancai heard this, he hurriedly found Zhao Yunyi and said, "King, why did you give up the good territory?" If you abandon it now, won't you lose all your previous achievements? In the next thought, according to the land of the four counties, there is enough money and food at the moment, as long as it is consolidated for a few months, and then go north to Ji'an again, there will be no worries at all......"
Zhao Yunyi said with a smile: "Mr. Luo, you are a person with real skills, I won't hide it from you, I am Zhao Yunyi, the commander of the 18th Battalion of Huaxia Kingdom, and this trip is on the order of the king, to rescue the people of the Ming Dynasty!" β
Luo Sancai was stunned for a moment, and his expression was actually a little naΓ―ve: "Huaxia Kingdom? Your Majesty? This ......"
"I'm from Dongqin, Dongqin...... Did You Know? β
"Dong Qin?" Luo Sancai stroked his beard and thought about it, he was startled, and said Mu Ran: "You are a black man!" β
"Hahaha!" Zhao Yunyi slapped his palms and laughed: "Mr. Luo, don't be afraid, let's retreat to Luzon on this trip, you are so talented, you will definitely be able to stand out in Luzon, and you may be able to be a cadre in the future!" β
"I ...... I...... This ......" Luo Sancai stammered and couldn't speak, and the sweat on his forehead rolled down.
"Sir, you're already a thief!" Zhao Yunyi said in a low voice.
Hum - Luo Sancai looked at Zhao Mazi in front of him in astonishment, only to feel that his expression was a little dazed.
After reacting, tears slowly flowed down, his talent through heaven and earth, and his plan to achieve things were wrongly paid after all!
