0445, showdown disaster relief
divid="chapterContentWapper">
Wang Yangzu's bitter complaint made Xiong Chu stunned:
This is the king of the Zhenbian domain of the Ming Dynasty? This kind of bastard can also ensure the peace of one side?
Yes, the ancestor Mu Ying did make great contributions to the court, and the Mu family never supported the army and self-respect, nor did they rebel, as if they were some loyal ministers and good generals.
They bear the name of the general of Zhengnan, but they create a comfortable nest in the locality. Burma and Laos, which they pacified themselves, rebelled and ceded their own land, and they turned a blind eye.
In the township, he was greedy for money, regarded the people as enemies, and led rebellions in the territory one after another.
Where is the blatant shelling of the governor's yamen and the law of the state? How is this different from his own rebellion?
If the imperial court is full of such local officials, then what is the use?
Even if such an official can die for the court at a critical moment, it is not a reason to be able to eat the people.
Xiong Chu's face turned pale, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, so he sat there silently.
Yangzu and Shiping Tusi Long Zaitian, both of whom have experienced a lot of things after reaching middle age, have naturally seen through a qiē, including the so-called "razing to raze" of the imperial court.
They were willing to follow Chige to Zhennan City to meet Prince Xiong, of course, not just to complain about King Mu's mansion, but to have a deeper intention.
Long Zaitian was a little helpless: "Prince Xiong, tell you the truth, all the toasts not far from King Mu's Mansion can't survive now." On the contrary, the distant toast is making a fortune in a muffled voice, and his strength is getting bigger and bigger. ”
"To give you a very simple example, we now have two royal palaces in the land of the Southern Barbarians. In addition to this Kunming Mu Palace, there is also a self-styled palace of Lijiang Muxiong. How to say it, if Lijiang Muwangfu really wants to move, the three Kunming Muwangfu together are not opponents. ”
"Of course, the Lijiang Muwang Mansion was not recognized by the imperial court, and only gave a title of Lijiang Military and Civil Mansion, the same level as us. Lijiang Muxiong is located in a remote area, and the whip of Muwangfu is beyond the reach of the whip, and he can't reach out if he wants to search, so he can develop. ”
Xiong Chu glanced at Wan Lian and was a little worried in his heart.
Now the last enemy army happened to be the army of Lijiang Muwangfu, which was attacking Yuanmou County in Huolian Mountain. If what Long Zaitian said is true, then I'm afraid there will be changes.
Wang Yangzu seemed to know Prince Xiong's thoughts, so he said: "Prince Xiong, don't worry, the purpose of Mu Xiong's dispatch this time is to show the political envoy of Yunnan Chengxuan and the governor of Yunnan. His mind is the same as ours, so he won't desperately attack Yuanmou County. ”
"Think about it, Mu Wangfu was suppressed by the imperial court in Yunnan, and he is also Mu Xiong's top boss, he can't wait to not deal with Mu Wangfu for 10,000 years. Prince Xiong stepped in sideways and cut off the connection between the east and the west, and the happiest was Lijiang Muxiong. ”
"And the most critical point, this time Duan Zhirui suddenly sent troops, and the governor of Yunnan did not agree. It is said that the north is now in danger, and the imperial court does not want to make extraneous branches for the time being. As long as the southern ministries do not explicitly betray the imperial court and do not declare independence, they will maintain the status quo. ”
"Mu Tianbo heard that Lijiang Muxiong participated in this attack, so he ordered us to flank us, hoping to open up the connection with Lijiang Muxiong. Because Mu Xiong's current wealth is also unbelievable, Mu Tianbo has claws sticking out of his throat. ”
"Thank you two for telling each other!" Prince Xiong said sincerely: "Everyone is a neighbor, and it would be best if we could live in peace." It's all your own brothers, what are you doing here?"
Wang Yangzu and Long Zaitian glanced at each other, and then shook their heads and said, "The main purpose of me and Lao Long coming here this time is not to fight, and second, not to be neighbors. ”
"Oh?" Prince Xiong was a little puzzled: "What do you mean by the two laborers moving over?"
Long Zaitian spread his hands: "We are less than a hundred miles away from King Mu's Mansion, and we really can't resist." Speaking of which, I am not afraid of Prince Xiong's laughter, Lao Wang and I can only eat two meals a day, not to mention the people below. ”
Wang Yangzu seemed to have made up a huge determination: "We just came here to surrender, and voluntarily gave up all control over the territory, as long as Prince Xiong can let the people have something to eat." As for me and Lao Long, Childe can do whatever he wants. Beheaded and exterminated, we all admit it. ”
Wang Yangzushi's earth-shattering words calmed Xiong Chu and Wan Lian at that time, and they were silent for a long time.
Long Zaitian said with a wry smile: "Actually, our two families proposed to change the land and return to the river decades ago, hoping that the imperial court would send the prefect to take charge of Yiqiē. Later, it was because Mu Wangfu made a hindrance that the court did not do it. ”
"The meaning of Mu Wangfu is very simple, as long as we don't change the land and return to the stream, the imperial court can't meddle in the affairs of Yunnan here, and they can cover the sky with one hand. But as a result, we really can't hold on. ”
"We don't want to be house slaves, at least we don't want to be house slaves for Mu Wangfu. If you are a slave to others, you will at least have a bite to eat and be able to live. To be a house slave in Mu Wangfu, we are really going to starve to death. ”
"In the eyes of outsiders, we are still the prefect of the land, a great family that dominates one side. In fact, Lao Wang and I can't open the pot, let alone the people below. ”
"After returning from Yongning, we all know about the situation in Lufeng County and Wuding County. The people here can live and work in peace and contentment, and no one exploits them, so Lao Wang and I decided to change the land and return to the river. ”
"It's not to change the land to the court, but to change the land and return to your prince Xiong. For the sake of the people who are waiting to be fed, please quickly send someone to take over Zhang'e County and Shiping County, and provide disaster relief immediately. ”
Xiong Chu was a little unsure: "Is it really this kind of journey? This is incredible?"
"Childe, my little ancestor!" Wang Yangzu bowed down and was about to kneel: "Back then, in order to complete the transformation of the land and return to the stream, we had already given up our own territorial control rights. In a word, there were no slaves in our two counties thirty years ago, all of them were civilians, and they were free to come and go like people in the interior. ”
"Now we have close to 300,000 people in our two counties, and people are starving to death almost every day. If you don't come to the rescue, they really won't be able to survive. You are a generation of heroes in the Central Plains, and you are the only one who is not afraid of the imperial court, and of course you will not be afraid of Mu Wangfu. The things you gave for disaster relief, Mu Wangfu didn't dare to rob them, so they could reach the mouths of the people. ”
Hearing this, the cold sweat on Xiong Chu's forehead came down.
Chivalry and righteousness are just four words to say, but it is difficult to do.
300,000 people, a person half a catty of grain a day, 150,000 catties a day, a month is close to 5 million catties.
It's the end of June, and if we can catch a tail, we can plant another crop of rice this year.
But until the rice is ripe, it will take at least five months, which will require more than 20 million catties of grain.
"I'm afraid I'll have to think about it in the long run. Seeing the sweat on Xiong Chu's forehead, Wan Lian had no choice but to come forward and say, "Wait a while, and I will ask our parents, the official of the Governor's Mansion, to come over and see if he has any way." ”
Zhang Yuxiu rushed over in less than half an hour, and barely sat down on the chair before speaking: "I know a little about the situation in Zhang'e County and Shiping County, and the situation is indeed extremely critical. However, we are now unable to draw much food on an ad hoc basis. ”
"After all, we have just taken over here, and the most important thing is that the Luo Jufeng family has a big fire, which has burned all the ten years of grain reserves, and now Wuding County has also become an area in need of disaster relief. ”
"According to the survey in the past month, Yuanmou County has been completely taken by us, and there are more than 3 million catties of grain in reserve. The grain reserves in Lufeng County are less than one million catties, and the grain reserves in Dingyuan, Chuxiong, and Zhennan are more than 8 million catties. ”
"Our own population is 680,000 now, plus the two counties of Zhang'e and Shiping, as well as our army, which is close to one million people. The grain in stock now, if evenly distributed, is less than fifteen catties per person. ”
Xiong Chu stood up with a sigh and walked back and forth in the room twice before he said in a deep voice: "What are we running around for? Not for the common people! Now I order: Disaster relief for Wuding County, Zhang'e County, and Shiping County!"
"Now that the war has subsided, each county has a standing army of 1,000, and the rest of the people are immediately stationed in the fields in order to be able to harvest one crop of rice or grain this year. Starting tomorrow, including me, the daily ration of food per person will be six taels. ”
"At the same time, mobilize the entire Zhennan Province to carry out saving and disaster relief donations, and arrange people to go outside, if you can buy a batch of grain at a high price, the price is not a problem. ”
"In addition, we should immediately take stock of all the big and small people in the territory, and if there are any grain reserves, they will be purchased at market prices and used for disaster relief. If someone hoards at this juncture, they will be beheaded and shown to the public, and they will not be lenient!"
In the end, in the name of Lao Tzu's real name Zhu Youjing, he wrote a letter to Mu Tianbo in Mu Wangfu in Kunming, saying that Lao Tzu wanted to buy 30 million catties of grain. If you dare to say half a word, I will deprive the Mu family of all titles on behalf of my ancestor Emperor Jianwen, and then immediately destroy the Mu Palace!"
For the first time, Prince Xiong publicly stated his name in public, officially admitting that he was Zhu Youjing's identity and that his ancestor was Emperor Jianwen.
Xiong Chu's murderous words rang out, and Wang Yangzu and Long Zaitian knelt down with a thud. But they didn't speak, but wept silently.
Wan Lian jumped up, pulled Zhang Yuxiu and knelt on the ground, and shouted at the same time: "Minister Wan Lian and Zhang Yuxiu will obey the orders of the lord and will do their best to relieve the disaster." Even if the liver and brain are smeared, they will not hesitate!"
Hula, a group of people rushed in from outside. Lan'er, Yan Erniang, Xiong Kaishan, Fang Qianxun, and Mandaili were all among them, and the hall was suddenly full.
Everyone has been waiting for many years, and they have been waiting for Xiong Chu to publicly express his attitude, and today it has finally arrived.
This is an epoch-making moment, and the group of people who have followed Xiong Chu for more than ten years are also crying silently.
"It's a pity that the senior sister was out with the troops and didn't hear the young master's words. Fang Qianxun sobbed and said: "I followed my senior sister to the rivers and lakes at the age of twelve, the purpose was to find the young master, and then save the people of Limin. Today has finally waited for this day, and I will die blindly!"
Xiong Chu also burst into tears: "I have been hesitating for so many years, and I have always spent it in hesitation. But now that the common people are in danger, no one can turn a blind eye. It's really ready to fly, and I can't help it with half a heart. The ancients said well: Although tens of millions of people have gone to me. I hope that you will always be able to understand the people's feelings and do your best. ”
One qiē is the desire of the people, and the next is unity.
The first thing to do is to save the people of the three counties, restore normal life order, and then go all out to save themselves.
