Chapter 1310
"This batch of military pay can’t be moved by anyone."
Ying Yi spoke and emphasized the ownership of the military pay for the third time, and then said: “The county respects the imperial loyalty. Court, is a good official. But because of this, the military payment cannot be handed over to him."
Zheng Wu held Piao Dao tightly, and suddenly laughed at himself: "I misunderstood you. I thought you valued love. Knowing loyalty and filial piety... The master can be regarded as a kindness to you, didn't expect... People really have greed. You are fond of these two million silver tael and want to take it for yourself."
Ying Yi shook the head, and nodded: "I really liked this batch of silver, and I really want to use it as my own. However, there may be a gap with what you think."
Ying Yi said calmly: "Brother Zheng Wu, let me ask you a question."
Zheng Wu swung his sword and said flatly: "If you want silver, kill me. Don't talk nonsense."
The soldiers were already at a loss at this time. They have a good impression of Zheng Yunzhi, but they also know that Ying Yi is great. Are you not your own? Why is this happening now?
A piece of absolute silence.
Ying Yiquan did not hear Zheng Wu's words, and each minding their own business said: "The county lord is a good official. Everything he does is from the Imperial Court, from the perspective of the emperor. So. I can’t give him the military payment. Not only can I not give him the military payment, but also three thousand soldiers and horses, I will not give him."
He said: "The Great Ming Dynasty will be overthrown soon. , This is visible. The upcoming eradication of the thief will definitely not succeed. And Zheng Xianzun’s intention to organize this soldier and horse, I think you should know better than me. Just wait for Zuo Liangyu and the others. When the Huguang soldiers arrive, we will act as support and succumb to the Huguang soldiers."
Zheng Wu's expression moved slightly.
Ying Yi said again: "What kind of dog thief is Zuo Liangyu? Even the three-sided governor Wang Qiaonian was sold by him, and his death was bleak. How many times he was the first to run this kind of stuff Lu, Shengsheng ruined the good situation. Zheng Xianzun is loyal to the Imperial Court, but he is not Zuo Liangyu. Zheng Xianzun can give these three thousand people to Zuo Liangyu as cannon fodder, but I cannot."
He looked like iron: "Therefore, I will never hand over the military payment to the county prince. The army, let alone give him. The military payment is in the hands of the county prince, and I cannot control the army. If I can't control the army, I will be treated as cannon fodder. Without the army, I would not be able to take revenge. Without these 3,000 people, I would not be able to protect the more than 20,000 commoners in this city and mountains. Zheng Wu, what do you think I should do?"
Zheng Wu's face was pale. , But without waiting for him to speak, Ying Yi said again: "I will never give a dog thief to cope, let alone Zheng Xianzun obey the order of a dog thief like Zuo Liangyu, be his cannon fodder, and be sold by him. If I meet him, I will even kill him. This dog thief is no different than Liu thief. Liu thief will fight, but not Zuo Liangyu, I will do it myself."
Ying Yi looked towards the hundreds of soldiers behind Zheng Wu and said: "What about you, what do you say? Are you willing to follow me Ying Yi, or are you willing to obey the county's command?" Zheng Wu finally spoke: " Ying Yi, if you don’t talk to you, what will you do?"
Ying Yi said indifferently: "Then don’t blame me for being vicious and merciless."
The night is suppressed, and the atmosphere suddenly sinks. To the extreme. Heavy breathing sounds one after another, as if rainstorm is about to come.
An abrupt clanking sound broke the weight. I don't know who made the head start, and then the hundreds of people dropped their weapons one after another, passed Zheng Wu, and came behind Ying Yi.
Zheng Wukan's face was flushed red, and he was shaking all over, pointing at them speechless.
Someone plucked up the courage and said: "Brother Zheng, the county prince is a good person. But...Master Ying is right. We just want to protect our family, not for the Imperial Court, nor for the emperor. "
"Yes. I remember the drought last year. The Imperial Court didn't even provide relief. My big brother was starved to death."
"When the thief came to kill , I will never see the shadow of the Imperial Court."
There was a loud complaint, and Zheng Wu's Essence, Qi, and Spirit were all eliminated.
Ying Yi sighed: "The Great Ming Dynasty has long lost the hearts of the people. It's a sigh that Zheng Xianzun turned a blind eye. Brother Zheng Wu, you are the close confidant of Zheng Xianzun. I think you should consider it first. It should be Zheng Xianzun, not the Imperial Court. If Zheng Xianzun is involved in the fight against thieves, after losing his temper, what do you think the consequences will be?"
Zheng Wu's mind flashed through With countless thoughts, he closed his eyes.
For a long time, he said: "What are you going to do?"
Ying Yi showed a smile: "I must hold the military payment in my own hands, especially the army. I hope Zheng County even more. Zun focuses on the governance of the people’s livelihood. There are more than 20,000 commoners in the mountains, and many of them have not been found now."
paused, then said: "Of course I will participate in the fight against thieves. But it is definitely not what Zheng Xianzun thought. Like that. After I go back, I will not go to see the county lord, but I hope you will pass on my words to him."
"You want to put the lord under house arrest?" Zheng Wu said.
"I have to do it as a last resort." Ying Yi said: "Wait for this matter, let the county honor the freedom."
Then Ying Yi lifted up and said: "It is important to get the military salary first. . It’s really not safe here. The big guys are all acting, don’t delay."
"Here!"
The mentality of the soldiers changed quickly. This is not to say that they are all thankless wretch, but their wishes are at odds with Zheng Yunzhi. Zheng Yunzhi is from the standpoint of the Imperial Court, and in the eyes of commoners, the Imperial Court has long lost trust and is not worthy of his life.
Actually, in the last years of the dynasties, the battle strength of the army declined extremely fast, except for the Han Dynasty. There is only one fundamental reason, and that is that the Imperial Court has lost its status in commoners in mind, and it is no longer worth living and dying for commoners.
How can we fight without this belief? Often collapsed on the first encounter, all escaped.
There will be an army in future generations. Under such bad conditions, they can persist until they seize the world. Their equipment is not the best, the territory is the most barren, and the resources are the most demanding, but why Can you last till the end?
That is faith.
Someone is willing to die for it, and go for it. This is the root cause.
In contrast, it happened to be another army of the same era. Not only the number of people is larger, the equipment is more sophisticated, but it also takes up the righteousness of the world, but because of the loss of popular support, he was finally driven to a small island struggling on whilst at death's door.
Zheng Yunzhi is not bad, talented and capable. But his position is contrary to popular sentiment.
This is the fundamental reason why Ying Yi can instigate the soldiers in a few words.
Zheng Wu did not leave without authorization. He knew that Ying Yi would not let him go back at this time. Ying Yi hasn't completely seized the military power, and will hide from Zheng Yunzhi before the dust settles.
The two stood aside, watching the boxes of payment and silver being carried out and loaded on the carriage and ox cart, each with a different look.
Ying Yi suddenly said: "I admire the county lord. But admire and admire, I look at the problem from a different angle and stand at a different position. Brother Zheng Wu, if I were you, I will persuade the county lord not to bury the Great Ming Dynasty."
Ying Yi looked at Zheng Wu: "In a short time, I will not let the county lord leave Crescent Valley. Unless..."
