Chapter 0651 - The Muddy Can't Support the Wall
Ran Min took Dong Qiaoqiao and continued to wander on the street.
Dong Qiaoqiao flew around like a flower butterfly, and from time to time bought some high-quality and inexpensive goods and threw them to Ran Min to mention. Ran Min felt a little helpless, not that he couldn't lift his hands and his shoulders couldn't resist, but that he had never done this feeling at all.
In his previous life, he was a single dog, even if he traveled to this troubled world, he didn't have much time to accompany Dong Qiaoqiao to go shopping or anything. When shopping every day, Ran Min just took Dong Qiaoqiao to buy some things, but at this time, Dong Qiaoqiao seemed to be a little up.
There are many local products in Wu County, especially exquisite handmade products, Rao is the well-informed Dong Qiaoqiao has never seen it, so the big-hearted Dong Qiaoqiao is unceremonious, not only the things she likes, but also the jewelry of the concubines who are close to her.
Doesn't Ran Min advocate frugality and put an end to extravagance?
Therefore, the concubines in his harem rarely wear gold and silver, but buying these high-quality and inexpensive jewelry should not be criticized by the ministers, right?
But when he was walking around carrying things, Ran Min found that there were really a lot of servants of the scholar clan on the street.
Nominally, these people were just domestic servants of the scholars, but in fact they were all private soldiers of the scholars in the past. For this, Ran Min learned about it as early as in the secret report submitted by Jinyiwei.
Ran Min immediately asked the Jinyi guards who were following him to inquire what these servants were doing.
It didn't take long for Jin Yiwei to pass the news.
"Your Majesty, we caught a few tongues just now, and we only found out after a brief interrogation. They had suddenly received summons from their respective families, and they had hurried over from various manors. In addition to these people, the private soldiers who disguised themselves as peasants and worked in the fields were also summoned into the city. ”
Hearing this, Ran Min's expression was a little solemn.
It seems that Qin Mu's guess is true, these scholars are in a hurry to jump over the wall, and they even want to rebel.
I really don't know how to write dead words!
"Your Majesty, has something happened?" Dong Qiaoqiao next to him was quite curious.
"Qiaoqiao, why don't you go back first. I have a very important thing to do. ”
"Oh, okay then."
Dong Qiaoqiao was not reluctant to accompany Ran Min to go shopping. Today is already enjoyable, and the future is long.
When Dong Qiaoqiao left, another person from Jinyi Wei said: "Your Majesty, there is an abnormality over there in Taihu Lake. ”
"Anomalies?"
"Yes. Our Jinyi guards have been secretly observing the remnants of the Jin army that fled into Taihu Lake. There are spies who have already infiltrated it, but they are not of high level and cannot detect any confidential things! However, according to the news they conveyed, the remnants of the Jin army have joined forces with the water thieves in Taihu Lake, there are tens of thousands of people, once they get out of Taihu Lake, they are only afraid of harm. Moreover, the holy car is in Wu County, so we are really worried about whether the remnants of the Jin army and the water cowards will be unfavorable to Your Majesty! ”
Hearing this, Ran Min could already determine what the intentions of the Shi clan gate lords in Jiangdong were, and what they were plotting about.
The movement is so big, is it really that the Jinyiwei of the Wei State is a vegetarian?
"Send an order, let Wang Ping lead 20,000 sailors to come over as soon as possible."
"No."
And at this time, Zhu Tao and other envoys sent by the Jiangdong Shi clan had arrived on a Dajiao Island in Taihu Lake.
This Dajiao Island is entrenched in a force of water thieves all year round, because all of its water thieves have white turbans on their heads, so they are called "blue-headed thieves".
The Cangtou Thieves are the most powerful gang of water thieves in Taihu Lake, which crisscrosses all corners of the world and has suppressed the Jin State several times, but each time it can resurrect and continue to grow. At present, the cangtou thief has faintly become the leading boss of all the water thieves in the entire Taihu Lake and even on the Yangtze River, with a huge momentum, tens of thousands of people, and its scale is so large that even the Jin army has a headache.
The Jin State also tried to appease the Cangtou Thieves, but because most of the leaders of the Cangtou Thieves were hereditary and had a deep blood feud with the Jin army, they were unwilling to accept the appeasement of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. With the demise of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, some of the remnants of the defeated army also fled into Taihu Lake, which was accepted by the Cangtou thieves and the rest of the Taihu Lake water thieves.
The entire Taihu Lake has become an independent kingdom and a country within a country of the Great Wei Empire!
The leader of the blue-headed thief is Du Zhi, because of his extraordinary bravery, he can tear tigers and leopards with his hands, kill an adult crocodile with his bare hands, and walk like a fly, so he is nicknamed "Crossing the River Dragon", and the subordinates call him "The Demon King of the Mixed World", and Du Zhi seems to be on top, thinking about the emperor's addiction.
Therefore, Du Zhi "founded the country and became the king" in Taihu Lake, and the country was called "Great Demon", and the water thieves in Taihu Lake and even near the Yangtze River paid tribute to him.
Du Zhi is so arrogant, the Wei army, which has already occupied Jiangdong and the entire south, will naturally not let him go. In the past, it was because he had just destroyed the Jin Kingdom and pacified the counties in the south, and it was too late to clean up the cangtou thieves.
It's different now, Ran Min ordered Ma Qiu to lead the army into Jiankang and guard Jiangdong with heavy troops, which is nothing more than wanting to eradicate all reactionary forces in the country, including these "mountain kings" and "water kings" who are kings and hegemons!
"Contemptible Zhu Xuan, see the Demon King of the Mixed World! The Great King Bow Jin'an! ”
After the envoy Zhu Xuan was brought to Du Zhi, he did not pay a big salute, but just made a gesture like the etiquette between ordinary scribes, indicating that he was polite.
"Sir, don't be polite."
Du Zhi knew the temperament of these Confucian scholars, if they really let them bow to themselves, perform the courtesy of monarchs and ministers, or worship themselves as emperors, I am afraid that these people will immediately turn their faces and deny people.
Confucian students are all arrogant and arrogant, and besides, this Zhu Xuan is clearly here to give gifts, and Du Zhi doesn't need to make the relationship so stiff.
It was in this magnificent palace that Du Zhi and Zhu Xuan began to discuss some things about how to kill Ran Min, seize Jiangdong, and restore the mountains and rivers of the Jin Dynasty.
"My lord, this time I am here on the order of the head of the family, and I want to inform the king that in three days, my lord will unite with the major scholars in Jiangdong and gather 50,000 troops to attack Wu County. I hope that the king will be able to send troops at the same time and cooperate with us to break through Wu County and capture the brutal and unscrupulous Ran Min! ”
When Zhu Xuan said this, Du Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Send troops to attack Wu County? Sir, I can't hide it, Ran Min is the lord of Great Wei after all, rich all over the world, with millions of armor, breaking Wu County and attacking him, I am afraid that the Wei army will not let me go. ”
Zhu Xuan suddenly glared and said, "King, weren't we okay before?" How can you go back on your word now? ”
A look of embarrassment appeared on Du Zhi's face, and he didn't know how to respond. Du Zhi has a fiery personality, and the gangsterism on his body is very heavy, being a big thief like him, that is the most righteous and trustworthy, and he is the most trustworthy to do such a thing without trust, it is really embarrassing for him. Let's go.
And at this time, the middle-aged Confucian sitting on the side got up and said, "Mr. Zhu, this can't be like this. At this time and then, at that time, our king agreed to the request of the head of the Zhu family, and would cooperate with the Jiangdong Shi clan to attack Wu County and attack and kill the tyrant, but the king drank too much at that time, how could this matter be counted? ”
"You!"
"Hey, yes! At that time, I drank too much and my brain was not very bright! Can't count, can't count! Although Du Zhi is the kind of person with developed limbs and a simple mind, he will climb up the pole if he can't stand him.
Seeing this, Zhu Xuan became angry for a while, but it was not easy to attack, so he quickly calmed down and asked the middle-aged Confucian scholar, "I don't know who this is?" ”
"He's my brainstorm, Zhao Sheng!" Du Zhi shook his head and said proudly: "Mr. Zhao Sheng is to me, like Jiang Taigong is to King Wen of Zhou, like Zhang Zifang is to Han Gaozu, and Zhuge Liang is to Liu Xuande!" I have Mr. Zhao Sheng, it's really like a fish in water! ”
"The king is overrated." Zhao Sheng behaved humbly.
Looking at Du Zhi's appearance, Zhu Xuan couldn't help but squint his eyes and said: "I see that Mr. Zhao Sheng has an extraordinary temperament, and between his conversations, he shows everyone's demeanor. Presumably Mr. Zhao Sheng must be a child of the scholar family, right? ”
Zhao Sheng originally wanted to hide his identity, but as soon as he wanted to speak, Du Zhi, who was stunned, directly revealed all his details.
Du Zhi said with a smile: "I, Du Zhi, can get the assistance of Mr. Zhao Sheng, which is the greatest luck in my life. Mr. Zhao Sheng is from Guiyang Zhao, once served as the commander of Yangshan County, and later because he offended Shangguan, this has the meaning of returning to the mountains and forests, I also met Mr. Zhao Sheng unexpectedly on the way to a patrol, and I met Mr. Zhao Sheng at first sight, so I let Mr. do my think tank! ”
Guiyang Zhao?
Zhu Xuan really couldn't understand how a dignified son of a scholar from the Guiyang Zhao clan could commit himself to a thief and give advice to Du Zhi, a big thief.
The patrol in Du Zhi's mouth is naturally to go out to rob the house and rob the place, as for his so-called land and Zhao Sheng, who hit it off at first sight and hated to see each other late, Zhao Sheng seems to be infected by the "domineering spirit" on Du Zhi's body, so he bowed his head and devoted himself to serving under his command, which killed Zhu Xuan and didn't believe it!
How can he also be a child of the scholar clan, as for being so spineless?
It must have been coerced by Du Zhi with a knife!
But what puzzled Zhu Xuan was that this Zhao Sheng seemed to be a very resourceful person, and he used to serve as the county magistrate of Yangshan County, and he was the son of the Zhao family in Guiyang, how could he be forced by Shangguan to the point of resigning and returning to the mountains and forests?
The son of a family is a big family, even if he is a political enemy, he shouldn't sit so excessively!
Seeing that Du Zhi really revealed his identity, Zhao Sheng was quite helpless, but he was not good.
Zhu Xuan continued: "King, is your ambition just to dominate Taihu Lake and gallop across the river?" ”
"This ......" Du Zhi thought yes, but he was afraid that he would say the wrong thing, so he set his eyes on Zhao Sheng.
It's really mud that can't hold up the wall!
