Volume 5 Jiangnan 480 Temple Chapter 560 Returning to Hangzhou to Discuss Countermeasures (I)
"Brother Sun, are you going to go back to Hangzhou right now?" Gu Yaohua looked at Sun Ning with some nostalgia and asked.
Sun Ning, who had already asked a lot of things from the ancient sayings, looked at the people in front of him and nodded: "Time is pressing, I really don't want to stay in Quzhou anymore...... Otherwise, not only the three armies may be killed at any time, but even in Hangzhou and other places, there will also be soldiers and horses who will kill the chaos.
"At that time, Jiangnan can't say that it's really going to be messy, isn't it just in the hands of those guys?"
"But...... You've only been in Quzhou for two days, so you're leaving......" Gu Yaohua was still a little reluctant, and he hadn't fulfilled the friendship of the landlord yet.
"I'll leave these things until he's at peace. No amount of hypocrisy is as useful as solving the problems at hand. Sun Ning said, and glanced at Liang Wentong again, "Brother Liang, I will leave a few brothers here with you to help Yaohua and them train their soldiers and horses." ”
The number of these rebels who conquered Quzhou was quite large, about 20,000. But in terms of the ability to fight, it is not even mediocre.
They only fought for a moment, and they might be able to defend the city and still be able to defeat the enemy, but if they really pulled outside the city to fight against a comparable number of troops, there was almost no chance of victory.
Therefore, Sun Ning intended to train this team, and Liang Wentong naturally became the most suitable candidate.
As a soldier in Hangzhou, he already has a good understanding of the way of training and commanding troops, plus he has won Gu Yaohua's respect and trust, supplemented by Wei Ting and several other generals of the Southwest Army, as long as it takes a while, this rebel team can be quite improved.
Liang Wentong also understood this, so he responded: "Don't worry, when you come to Quzhou again, the soldiers and horses here will be very different." ”
"Then I'll wait for your conversion." Sun Ning laughed, then set off with Xiao Qian, walked out of the Zhang family's mansion, and then got on the horse and left surrounded by more than 20 guards.
There is one thing that he is actually difficult to say, that is, leaving Wei Ting and them here to help train the soldiers and horses, and also to attract more rebels for his own use.
After all, now he has a shallow foundation in Jiangnan, and he really needs to pull out a team that really obeys his command to prepare for the next possible battles and changes.
The group soon left Quzhou City, and after officially bidding farewell to Liang Gu and the others, they rode their horses faster and faster.
It wasn't until some distance from the city that Xiao Qian glanced at her husband beside her and asked, "Sun Lang, did you mean what you said to Gu Yaohua before?" ”
"Huh?" Sun Ning was slightly stunned, and then realized that she should be referring to the remarks she used to persuade the other party to snatch control of Quzhou, "let the people of the world not be oppressed".
This made him hesitate slightly, and then asked with a smile: "You think I am telling the truth?" ”
"It looked like you were real at the time, but can it really be done?" Xiao Qian frowned.
There are too many injustices in the world, and the people are like cattle and sheep, no matter the rise and fall of the dynasty or the chaos in the world, they are the ones who suffer in the end.
I can't even get rid of this part of suffering, let alone live a peaceful and prosperous life without being oppressed.
"I do have that in mind, and I'm going to do my best. Because only in this way can I attract more people to use me, to kill back the Central Plains, and to regain the world that should belong to me. Sun Ning no longer had any reservations in front of his wife and cronies, and Zhengse said, "But, as you said, this wish is too grand and too difficult to realize."
"So I'm not going to push too hard. For me, taking back the world and returning to Luoyang is the first thing, do you know what I mean? ”
Xiao Qian was silent for a moment, nodded, and sighed silently. It seems that Gu Yaohua will be disappointed in the end.
Seeing this, Sun Ning also smiled bitterly in his heart, this wish is very consistent with the utopian ideals of later generations, but even after a few hundred years, such a grand wish cannot be achieved, let alone now.
So, in the end, this idea is just a fantasy after all, and no one can really realize it, even if he is the king of a country......
But then, he said, "But one thing I can be sure of is that he chose to work with us in the wisest way." If he really conspires with those three families, I'm afraid that he and those soldiers who rebelled will be used to death, and in the end they won't even get any benefits! ”
In this regard, Xiao Qian also agreed, and finally let her no longer be entangled in the previous promise, and also made them move forward a little faster.
……
The city of Hangzhou is still panicked.
The people of the city are still worried about the rebellion in western Zhejiang, which is close at hand, for fear that when the war over there will come to their homes.
Although the government has preached several times, mentioning that there are countermeasures in various parts of Hangzhou and will be able to ensure the stability of Zhejiang, everyone is still worried, for fear that this is just a deception by the government, and maybe when the rebels arrive, these officials will be the first to run away.
Therefore, many people in the city have already packed up their soft clothes and other things, and as soon as there is a rumor, they will immediately flee with their families.
What these people don't know is that the government and the people of wealthy families like the Qian family in the past few days are indeed a little uneasy, but what they are worried about is not the rebellion in western Zhejiang.
In fact, news came back one after another from there, and those rebels finally failed to defeat Yanzhou, obviously not strong enough, so naturally they could not pose a greater threat to Hangzhou.
But it is the threat of the Zongheng Society, which hides under this rebellion, that makes all those in power feel that they cannot relax.
The Society is still not well-known today, but that is only for ordinary people.
For the real wealthy families, as long as they have eyeliner in the Central Plains and other places, they will understand how terrifying this huge force that is gradually surfacing is.
The Guo clan of Liangzhou can sweep half of the Central Plains in just a few years, but it is still just a puppet and chess piece in the hands of the Zonghenghui, and this alone is enough to make many people change their color when they hear the name of the Zonghenghui.
What's more, Sun Ning sent someone to send it, and they asked from Yun Zhongyue about the various placements and arrangements of the Zongheng Society in Jiangnan.
In Hangzhou alone, more than 30% of the merchants have an inextricable relationship with the Zonghenghui.
or obeyed the orders of the other, or was bought early, and the worst thing was that they had received financial support...... This made everyone feel a chill to the bone, and they didn't even dare to guarantee that there would be no shadows around them.
In addition, the proven statement that the various changes that have occurred in Suzhou and Hangzhou in the past six months are also inseparable from the Zongheng Society, so that everyone has long left the small problems in western Zhejiang behind, and only focused on the big trouble of invading the south of the Yangtze River.
