Chapter 78: Borrowing a knife to kill
"Official, since then, more than 30 miles to the north, all the armies have been encamped...... Everything went well, and there were no thieves who came to harass them. ”
"This time we are very strong, I think even if there is no such way to transport troops, Bozhou can also get it."
"Don't hide it from Your Majesty, the old minister has fought a lifetime of battles, and he has never had such a reassuring moment, thanks to His Majesty's proper command and strategizing, the Great Song Dynasty King Division was able to win the battle."
"Presumably, it won't take long for us to completely drive the Jin people out of the Central Plains, maybe it will really be like what Yue Pengju said back then, and it is not impossible to go straight to the Huanglong Mansion."
"The grain collected by the DPRK is still sent to Yingzhou...... After all, Yingzhou is located on the left and Yue Fei on the right, as for Uncle Liu Xin, he has arrived in Xiangcheng a few days ago, and the news of the Bu Military Division said that the closer to Kaifeng Mansion, the weaker the Jin defenders will be, and when the details are discovered, he will take Chenzhou directly; Yue Pengju's side has already returned to Xuzhou from Zhengzhou, just waiting for our side to send a letter, and then the three armies will go north together and recover Kaifeng Mansion, which is already just around the corner. ”
Not to mention the county seat of the father of this city, it is even much smaller than Linlian, and it has been attacked by Zhao Mi and Yang Yizhong several times, and now it is dilapidated, and there is nothing from the south, and when they enter the city, everyone finds that even the city wall in the north has collapsed, and there is a big gap.
When I asked, I realized that all the bricks and stones of the city wall were used to block the south side, and even the house with the county government of the city father was demolished and used to build fortifications to defend the city.
If the only difference between this place and the deserted Sizhou is that there is no one within a radius of fifty miles from Sizhou, whether it is the Jin State or the Song State, there is not a single common person there; And here is the city father, but there are still a lot of people left...... It's hard to say whether they are Song or Jin, if they are Jin, they all wear Hanfu on the right side, and they all speak Chinese.
If it is the Song people, they are obviously resisting the Song army with their lives...... That's right, it's true that they took their lives to resist, so it's not because these four or five hundred people are using their arms as chariots in front of hundreds of thousands of troops, but these people can't even make up a pair of armor, and in addition to dozens of mountain knives, most of them are carrying.
Stick.
What's more, when Liu Bang entered the city, he looked at the group of old men who were kneeling on the ground...... These people are old, ten people can't make up a complete pair of teeth, but even so, they are not afraid in their eyes, he is a human being in two lives, I don't know how many dead people he has seen, he can naturally distinguish it, and the words 'regard death as home' cannot be pretended.
When he saw these old men, Liu Bang, who was a member of the Great Song Dynasty, originally thought about a lot of things to say, a lot of questions to ask, and was even ready to kill many people, but when he really entered the city, he didn't want to say anything, and at this time, he took people to the only building in the city that was still complete...... The soldier Zhuang settled down.
This is the old house and grave of Wu Zixu's family, compared to Wu Zixu's imperfect way of death, this place is quite decent, a garden three miles long, in the dilapidated city father county town looks a little out of place, its owner does not know where to flee, and left such a good place to rest.
The emperor was sitting on the edge of the pond in the courtyard, on a bridge made of stones, and let everyone whisper in their ears, but he just looked at the little insects floating on the pond, and was a little dazed.
Everyone knows what the reason for the official family's low mood is, and it's not that they haven't thought of a way, but those people are harder than the other...... Also, they can all run here to defend the city, they are no different from the dead, they are not even afraid of death, where can they be afraid of threats.
"Xin Ciying ......"
I don't know how long it took, from noon to evening, Zhao Guanjia finally opened the first sentence, which made the sleepy people instantly cheer up, and the living house who was named was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward and replied:
"The minister is here."
Liu Bang originally came from the bottom, but he knew too well what kind of thinking the people at the bottom had, Mencius said, 'The people are noble and the king is light', Xunzi said, 'The water carries the boat, and the water overturns the boat', and Cui Ding said, 'The country takes the people as the root, and the people take the valley as their life.'" Even he himself knows that without the people of Sanqin, he has to take off a layer of skin even if he enters the customs, let alone fight for the world, what are the three chapters of the law for, and it is not a popular heart!
Although the people of Yingzhou complained about Liu Kuo, their hearts were still towards the Great Song Dynasty, but this Bozhou was different, at least the four or five hundred people who guarded the city in this city were different, they may be local people, or they may have been coerced by Li Qiong to come to the north back then, but in any case, they have given their own answers with practical actions.
"Are all people's hearts to Song?"
Hearing the emperor ask this, the living room was suddenly startled, the people standing here, even Yang Yizhong, are not necessarily better than the official family and his own, at this time he asked himself, and the question was still this kind of thing, indicating that the Zhao official family was really a little confused.
Sighing softly, Xin Ciying did not answer his question directly, but asked him instead:
"Your Majesty, what is Han?"
Liu Bang asked others in the past, and later came up with his own answer, at this time Xin Ciying mentioned this, just to remind the emperor:
As you yourself said, those who feel that they are Han are Han people, and those who feel that they are not Han people, no matter how similar they look and how pure their blood is, they are not.
Since these people helped Li Qiong to resist the army of the Great Song Dynasty, then they naturally don't regard themselves as Han people, and since they are not Han people, what their intentions are, does it matter?
Liu Bang also sighed with him: "Do you really want to do this?" ”
Xin Ciying suddenly felt that something was wrong, and raised his head suddenly, but saw that the official family's expression was as usual, and there was a bit of compassion in his eyes...... Could it be that you are thinking too much?
But if not, how could the official answer so quickly?
The old man gritted his teeth, thinking that it was not the first time that he had been calculated by his own emperor anyway, so he replied forcefully:
"That's how it should be...... We have just arrived in the Central Plains, and we have met these people who have turned their backs on their ancestors, but if he goes north to Kaifeng Mansion, to the land of clouds, and to Shangjing, the people there are also like these people, how about the official family? ! ”
"Since Your Majesty has spoken before, except for the Jurchens who think that all of them can live, then these people ...... It shouldn't, it shouldn't be an exception. ”
The last few words he almost gritted his teeth and squeezed out, after all, four or five hundred Han people, this kind of thing of aiming a knife at his own people, it was his opinion, and the words also came out of his mouth, he often reported to the country An Lishu and regarded himself, and now in his heart, how could there be no pressure.
But compared to the lives of these four or five hundred people, the lives of thousands of people in the Great Song Dynasty are more important.
Liu Bang did not make a decision immediately, but asked again:
"Is there a possibility, that is, we treat these people well, let them know that Da Song is good, and know that I am good...... What did Li Qiong do to them, let's treat them tenfold and hundredfold, and give an example to other people who are similar to them, asking for money, money, food, and food, and giving preferential treatment to status, how about this method? ”
As soon as he said this, Xin Ciying didn't speak, but Taiwei Zhang next to him suddenly became excited, and hurriedly stopped:
"Never!"
"Oh?" Liu Bang looked at this old man who had never been boundary, "Why not?" ”
Taiwei Zhang couldn't say so much truth, just touched his head, and said while thinking:
"Official, do you still remember that Yang Mi rebelled in Jingxiang back then?"
After all, in the minds of the living quarters, what first burst out of the words "repay grievances with virtue and repay virtue" and "the people do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from inequality", if people see these people who are against the Great Song Dynasty, not only are they not punished, but they have become people, so what will those people who keep to themselves think?
No matter how generous a person is, under such kindness, he will also have a feeling of not knowing what to do!
But what Zhang Taiwei said is much more interesting, in the Great Song Dynasty, there are countless examples of people uprisings, in addition to the fact that life can't go on, there is also a main reason, that is, the imperial court's recruitment policy.
That is, if the common people in a certain place are dissatisfied with the governance of the year, they will gather people to make trouble and impact a wave of local court institutions, so that the court and the central government will pay money to appease them, and even worse, they will be included in the local army.
The people rebelled, and then the court appeased, and then included in the Xiang army, in such a link, the court appeased money, and the Xiang army needed military expenses and salaries, obviously there were only three steps, but there were two more places to make money.
So later, it turned out that some local officials deliberately magnified the matter, and the matter of three people should be said to be 300, and the matter of 300 people was eager to be said to be 30,000, as for the matter of 30,000 people...... That's Yang Qi.
Yang Mi accepted Zhao'an to rebel, and after accepting Zhao'an, he rebelled, and so on three times, and after each time, his men and horses became stronger, and the court needed to spend more money and food, and in the end, it was necessary to dispatch the elite of the Song State and Yue Fei's descendants to quell the rebellion.
Zhang Jun doesn't understand anything else, but he remembers this matter clearly, for him, thieves deserve to die, he shouldn't talk to them, those who dare to rebel will directly send troops to pacify, where is there so much talk!
And since Yang Mi, there have been fewer and fewer people in the uprising, first, the eastern shipping has become stronger and stronger, and everyone has enough to eat, even if there is no land, go to other people's homes to do a job, sell their strength, and still be able to live after all; Second, I also discovered that Da Song is not only recruiting an or recruiting an but also a person who can fight and kill.
Sure enough, after Liu Bang listened to Taiwei Zhang's reasoning, he thought about it carefully, and then he didn't continue to say anything about favoritism.
"It's all my people, I ...... How can I bear it! ”
The sorrow of the cry is really pitiful for me.
Xin Ciying is now more and more sure that the emperor is borrowing a knife to kill people, and now it is time for the arrow to be on the bow, the old man is extremely tough, and he looks at Yang Yizhong and pulls him aside.
"Your brother Yang Cunzhong, it's time to get out!"
Yang Ducheng replied expressionlessly: "That's my brother." ”
Xin Ciying was annoyed that he couldn't grasp the point clearly: "Brother is brother, what did you do when you killed the civil officials that day, and today you will carry the pot away, don't make it difficult for the officials!" ”
Yang Duenvoy looked at the living house: "It's clearly you who is behind the pot, why did you find me?" ”
It wasn't until this time that Xin Ciying realized that this person was not exactly a piece of wood.
At this time, he changed his tone, half threatening and half flattering:
"If the officials can't get down the stairs, they will let these people live...... When the time comes, how will this battle continue! ”
"If you don't carry it, I won't carry it, anyway, I don't have the surname Yang, and I don't have the reputation of the Yang family!"
Yang Yizhong also discovered for the first time that this old man was not as upright as he appeared.
After some thought, he nodded, and it was considered that he should take this matter.
