Volume 5 Jiangnan Four Hundred and Eighty Temples Chapter 537 Go to Quzhou
"You said you went to Quzhou?"
After listening to Sun Ning explain the reason for coming to him, Liang Wentong was obviously surprised, and then asked: "What should I do about the things in Hangzhou, and my identity ......?"
Zhong Bai and the thieves in Tianmu Village have not yet reached a conclusion, even Hangzhou is not stable, and if they go away at this time, will they be in the hands of some people?
Compared with Quzhou and other places in western Zhejiang, Hangzhou is obviously a more important place, so isn't it afraid that the rebellion in western Zhejiang itself is to divert the tiger from the mountain?
As for the identity of the head of his official government, compared to these issues, it is not too important.
But Sun Ning had his own opinion on this, and looked at Liang Wentong at this time, and said slowly: "In fact, not only the matter in Hangzhou has not yet ended, but also in Suzhou, it has not been able to find out the final culprit and make a conclusion about everything."
"Obviously, all the successive changes in many places in the south of the Yangtze River this time were premeditated, and they were done by the same group of people, at least the same mastermind behind the scenes.
"Suzhou, Hangzhou, and now the state capitals of mines in western Zhejiang and other places...... Maybe there's even more chaos elsewhere after that. But in my opinion, at least for the time being, the crisis in Hangzhou and Suzhou has been almost resolved, and the demise of the Suzhou clan means that it is already monolithic, and on the Hangzhou side, as long as the Qian clan and the government are of one mind, there is no conflict, and stability can be guaranteed. ”
Speaking of this, he exhaled a turbid breath: "If my expectation is correct, they should have buried two nails in Hangzhou." One of them is the bandits of Tianmu Village, but because of the defeat in the previous battle and the arrest of the two leaders, their strength has been greatly reduced, so as long as the Hangzhou government actively deploys defenses, there is no threat.
"The second is the Qian family. Their original plan should have been to use Zhong Bai to provoke the relationship between the Qian family and the government, and with the experience of the Xie family's downfall, the two sides are likely to fight again.
"When the time comes, internal and external troubles will be together, and Hangzhou will be chaotic!
But now, the hidden dangers in this area have almost been eliminated, at least the current Qian family and the government have reached an agreement, and Zhong Bai has already committed suicide in fear of crime, so Hangzhou will inevitably be stable. Even if there are some waves, it is only a small fight, and it is impossible to make a big mess again. ”
After thinking about this analysis, Liang Wentong also expressed his approval: "The chaos in western Zhejiang ......"
"Maybe for you, Zhejiang and Hangzhou don't have much to do with it, although it is close, but it will take time for this fire to burn over, and it is enough to deal with it.
"But have you thought about what western Zhejiang means to the entire Zhejiang region, and even to Jiangnan?"
"Mean, minerals?" Liang Wentong's first thought was this, "Do you mean that the chaos over there will make our various materials unable to keep up?" ”
The two largest iron ore mines in western Zhejiang provide almost seventy percent of the output of refined iron in the south of the Yangtze River, and these refined iron are necessary to build weapons and arm the army. Once there is chaos in western Zhejiang, the logistical support of soldiers and horses in various places will be greatly affected.
Sun Ning nodded slightly: "This is only one aspect, there is another impact that is even more deadly!" Zhejiang West such as Quzhou and other places can be the hub of Jiangnan and Ganzhou and other places, once there is a loss, the Jiangnan gateway is opened. At that time, if a foreign enemy takes advantage of the situation, will Jiangnan be able to defend itself as safely as before? ”
One sentence made Liang Wentong's forehead sweat cold, and he realized what a serious problem he had overlooked.
Western Zhejiang is not only a logistics place for mines in the south of the Yangtze River, but also a gateway throat!
It was only because Jiangnan had not suffered from the threat of external enemies before that this layer was completely ignored. And not only him, but officials at all levels in Hangzhou are obviously also turning a blind eye to this biggest threat.
"Therefore, the rebellion in western Zhejiang must be quelled as soon as possible, and the importance of that there is even higher than that of Hangzhou.
"Perhaps, the successive accidents in Suzhou and Hangzhou are just a feint attack by the people behind the scenes, but the place where they really want to land is in western Zhejiang!"
The more Sun Ning said, the more dignified his expression became, in fact, he had just thought of this, and more and more felt that his judgment was accurate, and the most critical decision of the other party might be in western Zhejiang.
Liang Wentong also looked solemn, and now it seems that Zhejiang is indeed more important than Hangzhou.
But the question is: "Then why did Brother Sun think of letting me go to Quzhou with me?" ”
"Because of this, you have an irreplaceable role in quelling the chaos in western Zhejiang." Sun Ning said solemnly, "You may not have received the exact news yet, but as far as I know, Gu Yaohua played an extremely important role in this mine rebellion, and he has now become one of the leaders of the rebels!" ”
"What?" Liang Wentong was really taken aback at this time, and almost bounced up from his seat, "You mean really?" ”
"It shouldn't be wrong, it's the information that my subordinates found out in time when there was an accident in Quzhou. During the mine rebellion, as well as the subsequent attack on Quzhou and other important state cities, Gu Yaohua played a very key role and won the hearts of the people, so it was logical that he was promoted as the leader!
"However, you and I should know very well that in the final analysis, these hard labor in the mines are just being used by others, pushed to the front of the stage by the people behind the scenes, not to mention the command, even their own life and death, maybe they are all in the hands of others!
"But it's useless for me to say these words, only you can convince them, see through the truth, and use them for us!"
Liang Wentong was silent, originally he had decided to decline Sun Ning's invitation, but now, he began to hesitate.
Gu Yaohua and them, as well as some other people who destroyed the Fa, were all brothers he couldn't give up.
They have done many things for him from birth to death, and so have he...... Although due to the situation and the limitations of people, they couldn't really cause trouble, and they could only watch them being assigned to the Zhexi mine because of their reckless actions.
But when they are in danger, Liang Wentong will never sit idly by, even if he will lose his life because of it.
At this moment, all his previous worries disappeared, and he looked at Sun Ning: "I will go with you to western Zhejiang to quell the chaos, even if I lose this official position of soldier Cao, it doesn't matter." ”
Sun Ning smiled: "Don't worry, you will know how right the choice you have made, Gu Yaohua will be saved because of this, and you will definitely get the due reward, as long as you and I can quell this rebellion in western Zhejiang!" ”
On April 25, when the monks of Yunlin Temple wanted to consult Sun Ning about coping strategies because of the rebellion in western Zhejiang, they found that his residence had long been empty, and he and his subordinates were nowhere to be found.
At the same time, Hangzhou Taishou Zeng Xian also got a news that Liang Wentong, the head of Bing Cao, had not been to Yamen on an errand for two consecutive days, and when he sent someone to his house, he found that the gate was also locked......
