Chapter 129: The Imperial Court Attacked Jiang Zuomeng!

"Jun, how are you doing lately? Qianxue misses it very much, but there are many things at home, and she can't come, so it's hard to solve the pain of missing in her heart.

This is because of one.

Second, Qianxue occasionally got the news that due to the frequent wars on the border of the imperial court, the treasury was unable to support it, and was forced to negotiate peace with other countries.

However, this is only scratching the surface.

Secretly, the imperial court was ready to settle inside first and then outside, and was ready to attack the Jiangzuo League and the Jiangyou League.

I don't know the specific matters, but I only know that this time I sent Yan Duo, the Imperial History Daotai, to Jiangbei Province to deal with the matter in person.

Yan Duo is a disciple of Li Yun in the former imperial history, and he is very good at weighing the court situation, which is not easy to deal with. ”

The business manager had already left, and Chen Chao was still looking at Shang Qianxue's letter.

He can empathize with Shang Qianxue's thoughts about him, why doesn't he think about Shang Qianxue.

It's just that, in addition, the imperial court wants to attack the two major rivers and lakes in Jiangbei Province, and it is extremely surprising to the Chen Dynasty.

But when I think about it, I think it makes sense.

The border of the imperial court has been in turmoil for many years, and the consumption is huge, and the treasury is bound to be tight.

The two alliances of Jiangzuo and Jiangright, although they pay tribute to the imperial court every year, are limited after all.

Now, the imperial court is negotiating peace with other countries, seeking temporary stability, and focusing on the interior, once the two alliances of the left and the right of the river are eaten, the imperial court can control these two places, and the annual silver taels are definitely ten times the tribute silver paid by the two alliances, or even more.

"I wonder how they'll do it?"

Chen Chao accepted the letter, frowned slightly, and thought seriously.

With force, or with peace talks?

It is unlikely to be strong, after all, the two alliances of Jiangzuo and Jiangright, although there is no army, but if they really fight, the imperial court may not be able to win steadily, and even if it wins, it will consume a lot, which is why the two alliances have not been moved.

Peace talks?

This is even more nonsense, if we could talk about it, we would have talked about it a long time ago.

Not to mention Liu Bai, the leader of the Jiangzuo League, and Xia Zun, the leader of the Jiangyou League, even Chen Chao disagreed.

It is simply impossible to recover the Jiangzuo League by means of peace talks.

"What else can they do?"

Chen Chao couldn't think of it at all.

But, this is definitely a crisis, a crisis that has never been encountered before.

Even if the Lin family is now vigorously developing and controlling the entire Jiangzuo League, that is, the team of the Lin family, has reached 3,000 people, plus the pirates of Chaoyun Island, a total of more than 10,000 people, but the Chen Dynasty is still full of worries about this matter.

This time, when the imperial court came, it must have come prepared, and it must have thought of countermeasures, otherwise, it would definitely not easily provoke the two major forces of Jiangzuo and Jiangright.

This is tantamount to touching the tiger's whiskers and looking for death!

The information obtained from Shang Qianxue's letter was limited, and Chen Chao also believed that Shang Qianxue only knew this, otherwise, the letter would definitely say that he could confirm this.

Chen Chao finally called Lin Ziying, Lin Da, and Erhu over.

"Ziying, you arrange for some capable subordinates to go to Jiangbei Daotai to closely monitor the situation there, and report to me immediately if there is any abnormality. ”

After talking to the three of them about the matter, Chen Chao commanded.

Ziying understood. ”

Lin Ziying ordered him to retreat.

Chen Chao continued: "Lin Da, the Lin family's family is handed over to the second tiger, you immediately go to Chaoyun Island and train them quickly, the amount of training is five times that of before, if you are dissatisfied, you can do it, you can clean it up as you want."

Soon, I'm afraid there will be a big war. ”

Lin Da understood. Lin Da was also ordered to leave.

"Erhu, tell your competent people to continue to recruit family members, the more the better, and pay close attention to training. ”

Chen Chao never thought that the imperial court would attack Jiang Zuo League and Jiang Right League, so in his opinion, for the team of Jia Ding, it was enough to guarantee about 3,000 people, not to mention, there were also Chaoyun Island pirates, and there were also various forces of Jiang Zuo League, but this time Shang Qianxue's letter made him aware of the crisis.

The Lin family must also grow and have a team that can confront the imperial court.

Allies are available, but they can't be relied on completely, they must be relied on on themselves.

"It seems that the Lin family is really going to have their own army. ”

Chen Chao sighed softly.

Chen Chao also informed Lin Zheng of this matter, and Lin Zheng informed the whole alliance as the leader of the alliance, so that the forces of the whole alliance could prepare.

For a while, it made people panic.

Everyone speculated, but they didn't know what the imperial court was going to do.

······

The Ming Dynasty had two provinces and sixteen prefectures, two of which were Jiangbei Province and Jiangnan Province.

Liangdao is also the richest place except for Mingdu.

Among them, Jiangbei Province is almost completely occupied by the Jiangzuo League and the Jiangyou League, and the leaders of the two alliances are the kings and hegemons here, as if forming a small dynasty with its own laws.

The imperial court has always been dissatisfied with this, but there is no good way.

I can't afford to fight, I can't talk about it, so I can only collect some tribute.

But for the Ming Dynasty, which is currently empty in the treasury and on the verge of war, it is a drop in the bucket.

In addition, what worries the court the most is that once the court has a war with another country, resulting in turmoil in the court, these two major forces may have the possibility of rebellion.

This time, the country was forced to hold peace talks with other countries, and there were also concerns in this regard.

Therefore, for the Ming Dynasty, it is the most tense thing to recover the two major rivers and lakes forces first.

If you go outside, you must first settle inside.

This was proposed by the current Imperial Commander Yan Duo, and was supported by most of the ministers of the court.

Yan Duo was therefore sent to deal with the matter personally.

His current official position is the Imperial History Daotai.

Although the official position is low, the power is very great, and the entire Jiangbei Province must obey him, which is a position of real power.

Li Wenzhao, the former governor of Gangbuk Province, was also appointed as his deputy.

The holy decree has been handed down a long time ago, and nothing is mentioned, but it is strictly ordered that the Jiangbei Daotai must obey the orders of the Yushi Daotai.

Later, he received news that Li Wenzhao, the original Daotai, led the officials of Jiangbei City to greet the new Yushi Daotai at the gate of Jiangbei City.

It was almost noon when a team appeared outside the city.

There were not many people, only a carriage, and twenty or thirty guards on either side.

The carriage soon entered Jiangbei City and stopped at the city gate.

Li Wenzhao led a group of officials forward.

"Li Wenzhao, the deputy governor of Jiangbei Province, took all his colleagues to wait for Lord Yushi Daotai. ”

The crowd saluted.

A voice rang out from inside the car.

"Excuse me. ”

The sound is rich and full of majesty.

The carriage continued on its way to the platform.

Daotai Fuchu.

A middle-aged man with a sturdy figure and a majestic face sat in the main seat.

His eyes swept over the Jiangbei Provincial officials standing in front of him, and more fell on the body of Li Wenzhao, the deputy provincial governor.

"Li Wenzhao, are you waiting for a confession?"

Li Wenzhao and a group of officials looked at Yan Duo of the Imperial History Daotai in surprise, and it was very strange to see that he didn't speak for a long time, but they didn't expect that the other party would say such a sentence when he opened his mouth.

Guilty, what sin is known?

What is the sin of serving the people by serving the people?

"Lord Daotai, the officials are terrified, and they don't know what their crimes are, so please ask Lord Daotai to make it clear. ”

Li Wenzhao asked tentatively.

When Yan Duo heard this, his face became even more solemn, and even showed a hint of coldness.

"I don't know what kind of crime it is? As a provincial governor of Jiangbei Province, I don't know how to lead my subordinate officials and share the worries of the imperial court, isn't this a crime? Jiangbei Province now has more bandits than officials, and this is all because you Li Wenzhao has no way to govern it, and you dare to say that you don't know what kind of crime you don't know?"

"Lord Daotai, although the people of Jiangbei Province are strong, but the law and order are good, why do you say that there are more bandits than officials?" Li Wenzhao was dissatisfied and couldn't help but ask rhetorically.

"Okay, this Daotai asks you, since the law and order are good, where do the two bandits on the left and right sides of the river come from?"

"This"

Not only Li Wenzhao was asked, but all the officials present were questioned.

Although the Jiangzuo and Jiangyou alliances are Jianghu forces and have their own management methods, how can they be called bandits?

Even if it is a bandit, it is also a bandit connived by the imperial court, what does it have to do with him?

Li Wenzhao and other officials were all dissatisfied.

Yan Duo smiled coldly and said: "As an official of the imperial court, he should share the worries of the imperial court, the Jiangzuo and Jiangyou alliances are not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, as a local official, he should be concerned about this matter, and think about it for the imperial court, what have Keer and the others done?"

This time, this imperial history came on the order of the monarch to deal with this matter, and to write down your past mistakes for the time being, and not to pursue them, so as to see the after-effects. ”

I see.

This is a trumped-up charge for himself, and this is a disappointment to the officials of Jiangbei Province!

Li Wenzhao had already thought of Yan Duo's purpose.

I have heard that this person is good at playing with power and balancing the situation, and now I see that it really deserves its reputation.

Whether it is true or not, you will be charged with a crime first, although it is not true, but if you investigate it carefully, it can be regarded as a crime, so that you will be suppressed first.

In this way, in the future, he can better order his subordinates and establish his prestige as soon as possible.

I have to say that Yan Duo let Li Wenzhao see how powerful he is, and he also understands why the imperial court sent him.

Only such a person can handle the affairs of the Jiangzuo and Jiangyou Alliances well.
