Chapter 606: My uncle
(Rub, the grandfather of the title wrote it wrong, and it can't be changed)
The most taboo thing for those in power is hesitation, and any decision must be decisive and thorough.
Right and right thoroughly, wrong and wrong thoroughly, right, merit in one, wrong, looking for the blame, win-win.
Before the battle of Jijun was finished and Wuyang had not yet been taken, Yang Ming had already set off from Xingyang, because he knew that the chaos in Hebei must be resolved as soon as possible, this is a border area, there are Turks in the north, and there are not very stable Goguryeo old lands and tribes in the northeast.
If the chaos in Hebei drags on for a long time, these three forces will emerge, and Yang Ming can't allow this to happen.
The army of Xu and Wan went south to get food, and Yang Ming also gained the respect of the Xiaoguo army, and he did not arrange anyone to be in charge of supervising the army in this rebel army that surrendered.
It's not because there is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people, but he sees that the greatest desire of this army is to return to the south, and the hatred of the imperial court is secondary, to satisfy their primary wish, and then to dissolve their resentment against the imperial court, then this army, the possibility of rebellion is almost gone.
They don't have to grab food anymore, Yang Ming gave them food, with this kind of kindness, even if Xu and Wan want to turn back, the people below may not be happy.
If they weren't forced to do that, who would want to be a rebel?
"The situation in Jiangnan may have taken a turn for the better, Duke Wei has already begun to recruit An, but if there is a thief chief south of Du Fuwei who is willing to surrender, Duke Wei will be able to do it," After the army crossed the river, Fang Xuanling rode his horse beside Yang Ming and said with a smile.
Yang Ming nodded: "Quelling the rebellion as quickly as possible is in line with the fundamental interests of the imperial court, as for the method, it can be used flexibly, some people rebel, just to join in the fun, like Wagang's group, there is really no way to live, give others a way to live, give yourself a way to live, Li Jing Their decision is right, except for Zhai Rang, one will not kill, one will not be arrested, and new positions will be arranged, and all parties will be appointed to break them up, so as not to form a group force." ”
Xue Shui said with a smile: "Zhai Mohou is already on the way to escort the Jingshi, first Li Deyi, then Zhai Mohou, Zhai Rang's head is about to fall to the ground, the three thief chiefs are ambushed, Your Majesty will be very happy." ”
Du Ruhui frowned and said: "Then Geqian, Gao Kaidao, Gao Shida and others, why didn't His Highness choose Zhao'an?" ”
Yang Ming sighed and said: "Civilian rebellion is excusable, family rebellion, severe punishment is not lended, others can't live, what about them?" Taking the opportunity to bewitch the people and confront the imperial court, if Dugu Gong is here, how dare the Gao family do this? ”
Xue Shu said: "Gao Shengdao has been hollowed out in the clan, although the family rebellion is not his original intention, but His Majesty has issued a decree to deprive him of the title of Duke of Qi and never hire him, they are a few brothers, but they are all your people, it's a pity." ”
Yang Ming said lightly: "Dugu Gong is half of my teacher, Sheng Dao them, I will definitely protect them, and I will find a way in the future." ”
His words are undoubtedly a reassuring pill for everyone under his command, and it has a great effect on winning people's hearts, Gao Shengdao is almost now almost qualified as a traitor, Yang Ming still chooses to keep his old feelings, which is very gratifying for Fang, Du and others.
They will feel that I am not with the wrong person, and I will serve Yang Ming with iron heart in the future.
This time, the Gao family is definitely going to die, how much can they survive in the end, look at how much Yang Mingbao has, and secondly, look at the situation of standing in line.
Gao Shengdao is now under house arrest in the Gao family, and he can't get out, and his eldest son Gao Zhan is Yang Ming's Qianniu preparation, and after hearing Yang Ming's words just now, he couldn't cry anymore.
The second eldest Gao Hongde served as the Shaoqing of Sinong Temple, and his position did not change, because the second child was a person from the period of Yang Guangjin's palace, Yang Guang would not touch him, as for the third elder Gao Biaoren, he was now behind Yang Ming's buttocks, responsible for escorting the military baggage.
Therefore, after Yang Ming entered Qinghe County, the decisive battle with the rebels of Geqian Gaoshida was equivalent to a civil war for half of the old Gao family, and those who stood on the side of the imperial court would undoubtedly be fine, such as Gao Yixian, who served as the Taishou in the old land of Goguryeo.
So far, there have been rebellions in various parts of the Great Sui, only the Gao family is considered to have rebelled as a family, Xiao Milling is not counted, the old Xiao family's loyalty to the court has not changed, but there is an anti-bone boy.
How could Lanling Xiao rebel? Empress Xiao is still alive and well.
"It will take a while for the reorganization and surrender of the army on the side of the Duke of Xu, and the pharmacist and Xuan Ting will go north first and take Wang Bodang into Wei County," Li Xiaogong said with a smile: "Wang Bodang is still smart, he rebelled from Wei County, and six of the eleven counties were defeated, and after the capital Anyang County was defeated, he was also respectful to Zhang Gong and did not invade, otherwise, he would not be much better than Zhai Rang's fate." ”
Yang Ming laughed: "So, few of the people who can be anti-thieves are fools." ”
Wei Jun Taishou, the year before last was still Zhang Ke, and later became Zhang Li, this is the father and son, the position of Taishou inherited his father's business.
Why is it so awesome? Because Zhang Ke is not only Queen Xiao's maternal uncle, but also the couple who raised Queen Xiao, the relationship between Zhang Li and Yang Ming's mother is no worse than Xiao Yu, and there is no difference between them and their brothers and sisters.
When Yang Ming saw Zhang Ke, he had to salute and call his uncle and grandfather.
If it weren't for the huge responsibility of counterinsurgency this time, it stands to reason that he would have to go to Wei County to visit his uncle.
And Zhang Ke has a grudge against Gao Gong, because Queen Xiao has been trying to find a way to get a prince for her uncle, and Gao Gong came directly: He is also worthy?
Except for his kinship with the queen, Zhang Ke is really unworthy, and he has no credit to the country.
In late March, when spring blossomed, Yang Ming arrived in Guixiang County, and Cui Shishu, the envoy sent by the Cui family, had been waiting here for a long time.
He had a list in his hand, which listed what kind of resources the Qinghe Cui clan could provide for the crown prince.
30,000 elite private troops, 500,000 stone grain, 6,000 war horses, and countless weapons of all kinds
"So, these 30,000 soldiers and horses, Cui Bus gave it to you?" Yang Ming asked at the yamen of the county government.
Cui Shishu nodded and said: "The elders have to be respected, and they will be sent to welcome His Highness and serve the dogs and horses." ”
If you don't see the rabbit and don't scatter the eagle, if Yang Ming can't come up, the old Cui family will not show the cards, if it is Zhai Rang who defeats Yang Ming, then this list may be dedicated to Zhai Rang.
This is a kind of self-protection mechanism for the big family, and they can't complain about others, and the high-ranking lords who have been inherited for hundreds of years have their own set of codes of conduct, and they are not checked and balanced by the imperial power.
In the hundreds of years of chaos in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, people were able to stand tall, and they didn't take the imperial power seriously at all.
The emperor of flowing water, the iron gate valve.
"Where are those people in Gao Jibo now?" Yang Ming asked.
Cui Shishu said: "I have already occupied Pingyuan County, the eastern part of Xindu County and Zhao County, and I have joined forces with the thieves, if it weren't for the prince's quick arrival, they should attack Zhang Xutuo first." ”
That's why Yang Ming had to leave early, and Zhang Xutuo only had a few soldiers? couldn't withstand the onslaught of the rebels at all, and the reason why he didn't fight him now was to stay strong to deal with Yang Ming.
"How many people are there after joining forces?" Xue Shu said.
Cui Shishu said: "Back to His Highness, the thieves have 150,000 soldiers, and the Gao Shi has 100,000. ”
"You guys are really fat," Li Jiancheng sneered: "Occupying a mere high chicken park, can it grow to 100,000 people?" How? Can they spell spells and scatter beans into soldiers? ”
Originally, Yang Ming and others expected that it would be Gao Shida Dou Jiande, at most 50,000 people, who would have thought that it would be this number? It is also very difficult to scrape Qinghe County three feet to the ground, and it is very difficult to gather 100,000 rebels.
Cui Shishu grinned: "Where do you start with this? What do we call raising? Can't this benevolent brother spew blood? ”
Li Jiancheng was not in a good temper, and got up and said angrily: "There is no rebellion in Qinghe County, but there are anti-thieves in Gaojibo, where the fart is big, 100,000 anti-thieves run out, can you escape?" ”
"These rebels are not from my Qinghe, but from all over the country," Cui Shishu said: "Among them, many of them have fled from Shandong, and it is extremely rare for us to be able to guard the Qinghe without losing. ”
He didn't know Li Jiancheng.
"Okay, okay," Yang Ming raised his hand and said: "Now is not the time to investigate, Qinghe County is the hub of the Yongji Canal, there is no disaster here, and the Cui family has made great contributions." ”
This is a singing red face and a white face, Yang Ming will not trouble the Cui family, he can use others at the moment, but it is also appropriate to show dissatisfaction when it is completed.
"So, the docks are all right? How many ships are there? Zhang Yuanbei asked.
He is anxious about his father, if he wants to save Zhang Xutuo, it is unrealistic to fight step by step, the best way is to go north along the canal, join forces with Zhang Xutuo, and strengthen his strength, so as to have the strength to compete with the rebels.
Cui Shishu said: "There are more than 1,300 large and small ships, all of which are now docked at the dock, waiting for the prince to take them. ”
"Xuanzong!" Yang Ming said in a deep voice.
Yang Xuanzong hurriedly got up: "Humble duty." ”
Yang Ming said: "You and Hou Junji took the first step into the Qinghe, took a boat from the dock to the north to meet Zhang Xutuo, after the army, with Zhang Xutuo as the main and you as the deputy, if the situation changes, there is no need to wait for my order, you two can make your own decisions." ”
"Humble command!" Yang Xuanzong is right.
A Xu Shiji and a Hou Junji, respectively, are under Xuan Ting and Xuan Zong, Yang Ming is to be cultivated, and the two of them are not very good at the moment, but they can't compare to Xuan Zong Xuan Ting.
Yang Ming uses the people in the family to feel the most comfortable, don't look at it as a bunch of thorns, when Yang Ming is under his command, one is more obedient than the other.
"Say hello to Tu Wanxu, the grain in Liyang Cang, to ensure the 60,000 surrendered troops, these people will be under his command, Su Lie will continue to go north with the original Luoyang garrison," Yang Ming said to Fang Xuanling, who nodded and immediately arranged to send a document.
It is equivalent to giving Tu Wanxu a mess, 60,000 people, there is not a single person from him, it is very labor-intensive to manage so many people, just to insert his own henchmen into it, it will take a while.
But Tu Wanxu will not be unhappy, because if he can successfully organize these 60,000 people, a huge force will be formed, and he will definitely fight the tough battle at that time, because he has the most soldiers and horses.
He is a county prince, and if he wants to be a prince of the country, it is not possible to make a small fight, he must be a large army to fight.
More than 50,000 people are considered a large army.
Doesn't that sound like 50,000 people?
How many tens of thousands of people are there in your county?
