Chapter 406: Leading the Enemy to Invade
Now that it has been determined that Ma De will no longer stand out for himself easily, Wang Weihe has no choice but to find his own way. He is not the kind of person who is afraid of things, but the crime of "forcing retired officials to die" is not light, so for the sake of his shopkeeper who has been arrested by the Zhejiang government, he thought about it and had to go to Zhejiang in person. However, what he didn't know was that every move he made was under Luo Xin's surveillance.
"How do you think this matter will be resolved in the end?"
In Ma De's words, the official who arrested Wang Weihe's subordinate shopkeeper is a rare bastard who is hard to find. However, Luo Xin is also very clear that the decision made by that official is not unreasonable in the current era, or that the guy's verdict can be "understood" by many contemporary officials, although that case can also be a completely different kind of judgment. Anyway, it's not easy to solve this matter easily.
"Then it depends on the mentality of Wang Weihe and those officials in Zhejiang. If each of them takes a step back, or if one of them takes a step back, there is a chance that the matter will be settled peacefully, and if either side does not give up, then there will be a good show. It's going to have to be a big deal! Mader shook his head.
"Will Wang Weihe compromise? He has been in business for so many years, what problems have he not seen? What storm hasn't passed? He should know that if he compromises this time, then, with his Wang family's current big industry, he will definitely be regarded as a piece of fat by officials everywhere, and he will definitely have a very hard time in the future. Luo Xin said.
"Not necessarily!" Ma De shook his head, "It is because Wang Weihe is a businessman, and he is one of the most successful businessmen in this era. Therefore, he should know better how to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, and how to minimize his losses. If he could achieve his goal by taking a step back, he wouldn't do it! ”
"If he is really soft, then won't our purpose be frustrated?" Luo Xin asked.
"How can such a good opportunity be let go of it? Wife, it's all up to you...... "Ma De" hehe" looked at Luo Xin with a smile.
Said.
"Humph! Say, what do you want to do with bad intentions? Luo Xin said with an unhappy face.
"Hehe, the new Zhejiang Inspector Li Yuanlun is a well-known guy, and he is self-serving...... If before Wang Weihe arrived in Hangzhou, someone spread the news that he had accepted bribes from the Yamen of the Imperial Palace, intending to exonerate the Wang family's shopkeeper. You said...... What will the group of patriarchs who smashed the ancestral hall and "forced" to death think? Will they give up? As long as there are more people who agitate and agitate, let these people go to the government to make trouble. When the time comes, for the sake of his own reputation, Li Yuanlun's guy will definitely give Wang Weihe a little "look", not only will he not let go of the shopkeeper of the Wang family, but I am afraid that he will be sentenced heavily. Wang Weihe runs such a large sub-industry, relying on the concerted efforts of his subordinates, naturally he can't watch his subordinates suffer and ignore it, when the time comes, this matter will be seen! Mader said with a smile.
"Okay, just do as you say!" Luo Xin nodded. But after thinking about it. She suddenly shook her head again, "It's still not foolproof." If Wang Weihe can really get through the relationship, let's do a dark box "operation". On the surface, he accepted the government's ruling, but secretly he worked with some people and replaced his own shopkeeper? ”
"Is the world so dark?" Ma De asked in surprise.
"What do you say? It's good to just swap people out in secret, haven't you heard that even death row inmates can find someone to die on their behalf? Luo Xin glanced at Ma De, extremely disdainful of this guy's deliberate stupid behavior.
"Hehe, just kidding. Don't be angry, wife! Ma De laughed twice, and said, "Haven't you always looked at Wang Wei and that guy?" Wouldn't it be better to not give him the opportunity to do such a thing that violates the law and discipline? ”
"Wang Weihe is not a fool. I'm afraid that if we move too much, he might notice it. After all, the Wang family has such a big business and its own intelligence sources. I'm afraid that it will be self-defeating, and when the time comes, it will incur Wang Weihe's resentment! Luo Xin frowned slightly and said.
"Resentment is resentment! This old guy is not a fool, even if he has a grudge in his heart, he should know what to do in his best interests. Moreover, we have sheltered them from the wind and rain all these years, and if he really rebels with us for such a small grievance, then how can we be sure that they will follow the path we have arranged for them in the future? Mader said.
"......," Luo Xin nodded silently.
“……”
"Something is wrong! Your Excellency the Governor......"
in Zhejiang. Ma Defu and his wife began to prepare to direct a good scene of the struggle between businessmen and the government, and at this time, far away in Kunming, Yunnan, Yu Zhong also received a not very good news.
"Your Excellency, the runaway Ma Gyaltsen, he ...... He went to Burma, took refuge in the local king of Burma, and instigated the Burmese to invade our territory. ”
When the news came, Yu Zhong was still just staying in Mo Jing's Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Kunming. Kangxi took back the Shang Fang Sword that had been given to him for many years, making him feel unhappy for a long time. After all, without such a thing of life and death, there are many things that are not easy to do, and even if they do, they have to bear much more responsibility. However, although the people of Alinga were overjoyed that they had just lost an ignorant admiral and replaced it with the sword of Shang Fang, which could give Yu Zhong great power, they were not willing to provoke such a bad star for no reason. Even the highest military attache of a province, such as the Admiral, is a figure who is arrested when he says he will be arrested, who dares to provoke him casually if he has no guts?
Moreover, now that the border has been invaded by foreign enemies, only Yu Zhong can get the idea at this time, after all, Yu Zhong still has the title of "great general" on his head.
However, Alinga and the others didn't expect that after Yu Zhong heard the news they sent, he just replied and stopped caring about it. It's a very simple sentence, with only three words in total: Got it! Then, Alinga and the others found that Yu Zhong was still hiding leisurely in Mo Jing's garden, and it seemed that he had no intention of 'showing his face' at all.
………………
"Nama Gyaltsen is familiar with geography, and now he has taken advantage of the raid. And it's been 'chaos' at the border...... The officers and soldiers are far away, and the road is not easy to walk, if you want to level one of them, I'm afraid it's not so easy! Maybe, he will be led by the nose. ”
Although Yungui and his party presided over the military in China, the admiral, as the highest military governor of a province, was also indispensable. So. Shortly after Cai Ting's dismissal, Kangxi sent a new governor of Yunnan. The new Titai's name is Tang Xishun, a veteran and a native of Wuwei, Gansu. The seniority in the army is very high, and he once served as the governor of Sichuan before Yu Zhong, but because he has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, his health is not very good, so he asked Kangxi to resign soon after taking office.
After he left office. Kangxi was dispatched to Sichuan. Previously, Cai Ting was severely punished by Yu Zhong because of excessive arrogance.
Kangxi naturally didn't want to send people to cause trouble again, so this time he deliberately selected a veteran who was old and stable. Do so. Kangxi has several goals. First, Tang Xishun has long been old, and this appointment as the governor of Yunnan is equivalent to "rehiring", and he will not compete with Yu Zhong for power and profit, and it will not cause excessive hostility from Yu Zhong, which is convenient for the two to cooperate; Second, Tang is an old person, even if he puts forward his opinions, Yu Zhong is not easy to treat coldly. Moreover, this Tang Xishun also followed Sun Sike to participate in the "chaos" of pacifying Wang Fuchen. also once followed Feiyanggu to fight with Geerdan in Zhaomoduo, Yu Zhong and Ma De were able to grab a large amount of grain and grass from Ge Li thanks to Sun Sike's help, and they had a good relationship with Feiyanggu, there is such a relationship in the way, although Sun Sike is now deceased, but Yu Zhong should not be able to give Tang Xishun a "look".
"Since the road is difficult to walk and far away, then we should attack immediately. Tang Junmen. I think this Ma Gyaltsen is not good this time. With the Burmese behind him, if he doesn't send troops quickly, I'm worried that the situation will get out of hand! "Alinga, as the governor, was actually stabbed in the jurisdiction, so naturally he had to rush to discuss. Although he didn't expect Yu Zhong to come, he also knew that this was an opportunity. If he can solve the problem of Ma Gyaltsen's invasion without relying on China, then who else can challenge his position in Yunnan? In front of Kangxi, this is also a great credit. Therefore, seeing that Tang Xishun had a difficult face, he hurriedly said.
"Lord Futai, we naturally know that this matter is not trivial! It's not that Tang Junmen doesn't want to move troops immediately. But did you forget? The Governor had a strict order, and without his military order, not a single soldier was allowed to be mobilized in Yunnan. If there is a violator, it will be done by military law! ”
Foreign enemies invaded, and the land was lost. Originally, at the same time as Tang Xishun sent someone to report to Yu Zhong, he had already used the Admiral Xian card to gather many Yunnan military generals, and prepared to arrange the attack plan of the official army as soon as Yu Zhong arrived. However, what they didn't expect was that they were all released by Yu Zhong. However, a veteran is a veteran after all. Although Tang Xishun was slightly dissatisfied with the indifferent behavior of such a large number of large and small generals in Zhongzhong, he would not think that Yu Zhong would sit idly by while watching the enemy invade. Who doesn't know how Yu Zhong, the "General Zhenyuan", got mixed up? You must know that this guy Yu Zhong is the most aggressive and aggressive general in the Qing court. Such a person, it's too late to invade others, how can he let others hit the door and be indifferent? knew that there must be something strange in it, so Tang Xi made up his mind to see how Yu Zhong would deal with the current situation. However, Alinga, the governor, could not fail to reply, so he quietly touched another veteran sitting below him and asked him to come forward to answer for him.
"But now that the Governor is not here, can we just wait? I clear the iron law, and those who lose their land die! Now Ma Gyaltsen leads the enemy to the border, in the blink of an eye, there are more than a dozen Tusi are either destroyed, or merge with it, if it is allowed to develop, I am afraid it will not be long, half of Yunnan will no longer belong to my Qing Dynasty. At that time, even if the governor cannot escape the responsibility, I am afraid that the generals and the generals will not be able to escape the emperor's rule! "The person who returned to Aling's words was the new Yunnan Yongbei commander-in-chief Yang Tianzong, who had followed Zhao Liangdong to Kunming, and was also Tang Xishun's old subordinate, who came to Yunnan with Tang Xishun.
"What the Governor said is very true. Ma Gyaltsen is familiar with geography and has made toasts in the past, and he has a good relationship with other local toasters. If they are allowed to act recklessly and make them unite with many road toasts, then the officials and troops will be considered powerful. I'm afraid it will be difficult to eradicate it. Maybe, it will be "chaotic"! After Alinga finished speaking, a general suddenly jumped out and echoed that it was Ai Huolong, who was brought back to Kunming from Yuanjiang by Orge. However, because of some contributions in Yuanjiang, the original Yuanjiang garrison has become the current capital division.
"The Governor is not in a hurry, and neither is the Admiral. A little Dusi, when is it your turn to speak? I don't know the rules! Alinga heard that some people agreed with his words, and he was overjoyed, thinking that his words were in line with the wishes of the generals below, and he was about to take advantage of the situation to increase his strength, but unexpectedly, before the words came out, someone came out and reprimanded Ai Huolong loudly. Alinga turned his head to look, but it was Song Ai, the chief soldier of Yunnan Linbei.
"What do you mean?"
Ai Huolong was furious. Originally, he could have stayed in Yuanjiang and be his own land overlord. Unexpectedly, he was sent back by Yu Zhong. And that's not all. Yu Zhong also assigned those of his henchmen elsewhere, so that he completely lost his power, and. Because he used to be a leader, his style was not very good, he didn't have much military support, and he was a traitor, and his colleagues in the army always looked down on him. For this reason, he has long held back the fire in his belly. Now that he heard that Ma Gyaltsen had come back, he thought that he was also familiar with geography and was good at fighting in the mountains and forests, so he would definitely take the opportunity to establish his military exploits, even if he couldn't. They should also be able to find an opportunity to break away from the barrier of Kunming. However, I didn't expect to be unceremoniously reprimanded. He has a fiery temper, and he has already endured a lot of anger, where can he withstand this kind of public humiliation? At the moment, he didn't care that Song Ai's status was much higher than his own, so he immediately roared.
"You're not convinced? Why, if you still want to practice, you can't do it? Song Ai looked at Ai Huolong contemptuously and asked in a dark voice.
"Shut up!" Seeing that the two generals under him were hostile to each other, Tang Xishun said coldly.
“…… Hum! Hearing Tang Xi's order. Ai Huolong snorted heavily and fell back into place. Song Ai didn't say a word, didn't look at Ai Huolong, and saluted Tang Xishun with a fist before retreating. However, such a performance did not make people think that Song Ai was timid.
"Tang Junmen, the military situation is urgent. Otherwise, let's go out of the city to the Governor and ask him, 'Old man, what is the charter?' Alinga said again. The conflict between Song Ai and Ai Huolong made his joy disappear without a trace. Only then did he remember that since the day Yu Zhong took office, he had been using the pretext of retraining Yunnan officers and soldiers to screen local generals several times. And also from elsewhere to add some generals who can fight well. Just like this Song Ai. Originally, he was a general under Yue Zhongqi, because he made great contributions to Yue Zhongqi's raid on Luobuzang Danjin, and was supposed to be transferred to Zhejiang as a deputy general of Shaoxing, but he was forcibly asked from the military department by Yu Zhong, and was promoted to another level, and became the general soldier of Linbei. It's almost Yu Zhongdi's subordinates. It can be said that as soon as Yu Zhong took office, he first grasped the military power in Yunnan.
Don't say that Tang Xishun has no intention of moving troops now, even if he does, without Yu Zhong nodding, I'm afraid that this old general will not be able to mobilize a single soldier. Therefore, under the unhappiness in my heart, I couldn't help but have a hint of ridicule in my words.
"Since the Governor is not coming, there must be a reason for him. Let's not bother him...... Don't provoke him, old man, get angry, we will have a good look! Hearing Aling'adi's words, a general came out and said.
"Yes, yes, I'm afraid the Governor has already made up his mind. Let's not worry about it here. Anyway, be ready to send troops at any time! Another general chimed in.
"Junmen, what do you think we should do?" Yang Tianzong also asked Tang Xishun with a fist.
"Then wait a little longer, everyone will go back and be ready to send troops at any time!" Tang Xishun thought about it, waved his hand to the generals, and said.
"Yes!"
………………
"Junmen, what do you think of this idle place in the Governor?" After Ah Ling'a and the generals left, Yang Tian asked Tang Xishun. He is Tang Xishun's old subordinate, so naturally he doesn't need to see outside.
"Every time Yu Zhong moved his troops, he fought extremely smoothly. Almost as soon as the army arrived, it was invincible! The world thought he was lucky...... But, in my opinion. The battle can be fought to the point where he is not easy. Without perfect preparation and strict arrangement, even if you have good luck, you may not be able to achieve a general. This time, I'm afraid that Ma Gyaltsen has already been calculated by him! Tang Xishun replied.
"So you're just waiting? This guy doesn't sell your face this time! Yang Tian laughed.
"Hehe, the emperor asked me to come just to be the governor of Yunnan, but he didn't let me come to compete with the governor for military power!
Besides, this poor mountain and bad water in Yunnan, my old bones, can't run over! Tang Xishun smiled slightly and said.
