Ran Min started from the grass, his ancestors were the goalkeepers of the previous generation, and he came from a humble background. When he usurped Zhao and established himself, if there was no Yingchuan family, how could he sit in the position of the lord of Wei without the support of the northern scholars? In the past, the Wei army went south to destroy the Jin Dynasty, if it was not for the cooperation of our Jiangdong Shi clan, how could he enter Jiankang City, and how could he gain a foothold in the south? ”

Zhu Tao said unashamedly, it seems that Ran Min was able to establish the Wei State, be able to go south to destroy the Jin Dynasty and gain a foothold in the south, and it was inseparable from the support of the Shi clan gate lords.

Of course, Ran Min's ability to conquer this piece of the world and dominate the country is indeed related to the support and cooperation of the major scholar clans, but if it is said that the scholars have played a key role, it is nonsense!

The prosperity of the Wei State lies in the military strength, and the governance lies in the scholars, both of which are indispensable.

However, Zhu Tao didn't think so, and he also said shamelessly: "He Ran Min is a thief for the second generation, and his father Ran Zhan recognizes the thief as his father, and he recognizes Hu Shihu as his father-in-law." Ran Min is the righteous grandson of Shihu and is highly valued, but Ran Min is untrustworthy and unrighteous, disloyal and unfilial, and disregards the etiquette of the monarch and ministers, and actually usurps Zhao to stand on his own! A few years ago, he even dug up the tombs of Shihu and Shile Erhu, abandoned the corpses in the wild, and even shared them for the people who hated Qihu! This kind of behavior is simply too many to write! ”

"Such a chaotic minister and thief, such a giant traitor in the world, how can he be our monarch's father?!"

Zhu Tao's words immediately aroused the echo of the scholars present.

Everyone said indignantly: "What the head of the Zhu family said is right! Ran Min is not worthy of being our monarch! The world's corporal clan has big trees and deep roots, how could he Ran Min say that he would eradicate it if he wanted to? ”

"Throughout the ages, there have been no thousand-year-old dynasties, only thousand-year-old families! The country is the world! Ran Min persecuted too much, let us soldiers demolish the dock fort, release the villagers, prohibit the raising of private soldiers, and support those poor scholars as officials, and promote official learning in the country, so that those scholars from mud legs can fight with us! It just doesn't make sense! ”

"The power of the scholar clan, how can Ran Min be able to shake it?"

"If it weren't for our scholars, would he be able to achieve what he is today? Be sure to give him a taste of our awesomeness! ”

Seeing that the crowd was excited, and the gentlemen present seemed to be on his side, Zhu Tao was very pleased.

And Gu Shen was still a little timid and afraid, and said to Zhu Tao quietly: "Master Zhu, against Ran Min, we can assassinate or poison him, and even usurp Ran Wei's power like Sima Dai Wei." But isn't it inappropriate to start an army like this? Wei is strong, strong and strong, and won the hearts of the people, Ran Min reigned for nine years, for our clan, it may be a bit harsh, but for those poor people, for those mud legs, Ran Min is undoubtedly the savior, is the existence of a Ming monarch! ”

"Moreover, there are a lot of Wei troops stationed in Jiangdong, especially now here in Wu County, there are more than 20,000 Wei army soldiers, once we get into trouble, I am afraid that we have not made any progress, and we have been suppressed by the Wei army."

Hearing this, Zhu Tao glanced at Gu Shen with disdain and said, "What, are you scared of the Gu family master?" ”

"It's not that I'm afraid of Ran Min, but the actual situation doesn't allow us to raise troops. Think about it, our four surnames of Wu County have deep roots in Jiangdong, and they have united with the major scholars in Jiangdong to squeeze out the officials dispatched by the imperial court, so that the county guards and county orders in various places are resignations of officials, violent deaths, and prison sentences, all of which have no good end. Because of this, the imperial court had no choice but to appoint the children of our local scholars in Jiangdong as officials, and now Ran Min must have seen that the general trend has been decided, the remnants of the Eastern Jin Dynasty have been annihilated one by one, and the people's hearts have been attached, so he wants to free up his hands to clean up our scholars! ”

"And thanks to the help of our local scholars in Jiangdong, although the fort of our home was demolished, there were at least one or two thousand private soldiers in each family, which were reduced to zero and became ordinary people. And my four surnames in Wu County, each family has about 3,000 private soldiers! ”

"But even if our families unite and gather all the private soldiers together, there are only thirty or forty thousand troops, and the combat strength is uneven, most of them are poorly armed and untrained, far inferior to the regular army of the Wei army! How can such a mixed army achieve great things? ”

"Nope. Master Gu, you're wrong! ”

Zhu Tao shook his head lightly and said, "Relying on our private soldiers, we will not be able to achieve great things." At this time, we need to re-launch the Sima clan and support the descendants of the Sima clan as the new emperor of the Jin Kingdom, or respect Sima Dan as the emperor from afar, and raise troops under the banner of the Sima clan! ”

"This ...... Can someone respond? Gu Shen said hesitantly.

"Surely there will be a crowd of respondents!" Zhu Tao swore solemnly: "You must be famous to be a teacher." The scholars of the world hate what Ran Min did! Although Ran Min has reused a lot of Shi clan's children, he is weakening the power of the Shi clan openly and secretly, supporting the power of the Han Clan, in the long run, the Han Clan will definitely replace the Shi Clan, and the privileges we have now will no longer exist! How many people of insight are there in the world? Don't they see that? I dare to guarantee that once we raise our troops, kill Ran Min again, and win the first battle, the warriors in the north will definitely rise up to respond, and then the righteous army in the world will become a fire again! ”

Hearing this, Gu Shen was silent.

After a while, Gu Shen asked again: "Master Zhu, this matter is easy to say, but relying only on the thirty or forty thousand private soldiers of our scholar clan, I am afraid that we will not be able to annihilate the Wei army in Wu County, let alone kill Ran Min." Ran Min is so brave and unbeatable, he can take the head of the enemy general in a million army, like probing for things! How can we attack the county government and kill Ran Min? ”

"I already have a comprehensive arrangement, please rest assured."

Zhu Tao smiled faintly: "Wu County is adjacent to Taihu Lake, and there are many remnants of the Jin army entrenched there on several islands in Taihu Lake, and there are even more water thieves. I have already contacted the remnants of the Jin army and the water thieves, and bribed them with a lot of money to let them join us in attacking Wu County! Ran Min is known as the enemy of 10,000 people, but what about the enemy of 10,000 people? Can he really be worth thousands of troops alone? When the time comes, I plan to contact the Taihu Lake water thieves and the remnants of the Jin army, and join forces with the outside to take Wu County. We can lead the private troops first and besiege the county government! Put Ran Min in place to correct the Fa! ”

Hearing this, Gu Shen couldn't help but laugh dumbly and said, "Master Zhu, you're a little whimsical, right?" With Ran Min's bravery, even if he can't lead the army to defeat our private soldiers, he should be able to break through, how can we kill him in the county office? ”

"Gu family master, you are too worried. Maybe in the past, it was an unwise move to besiege Ran Min when he went out on patrol, but now Ran Min is on patrol with his concubines, and I heard that even the queen lives in the county office. ”

"So what?"

Zhu Taoyin said with a smile: "Master Gu, everyone in the world knows that Ran Min is lustful, she is a hungry ghost in the sex, and she is an excellent wife. But you may not know that Ran Min is an amorous seed, who loves the country and loves beauties more, so if we besiege the county government, I believe he will not leave a large number of his relatives and run away. ”

"Hahahaha! The head of the Zhu family is right. I heard that Ran Min's concubines are all beautiful and beautiful, with the appearance of sinking fish and falling geese, and the appearance of shy flowers in the closed moon, which is really incredible! When we kill Ran Min, we must clean up Ran Min's concubines! This queen is the head of the Zhu family! ”
