Chapter 1317 Wu Er's Rat Eyes
Although Shen Ke's words deeply understood the current problems, they only pointed out the problem, but did not involve how to solve the problem. In other words, the problem had no solution at all.
Because when Shen Ke talked about this issue, Chen Qian's expression changed and she became a little embarrassed. Nowadays, a considerable part of the hot-selling looted goods among Sanwu are exported from the industries under his name. In other words, he is also included in the people who are desperately searching for the wealth of the people of Sanwu.
His disciples Hua Jiao, Dao Zhongju and others specialized in business affairs for Chen Qian, making profits to save money and food. Since most of the ship channels were controlled by the imperial court, in order to avoid being noticed, he also specially organized a land transportation team to transport the goods from the north to Wuzhong through carriages, horses and manpower.
This team was specially selected by Chen Qian from the official slaves of Dongxi Ye and Shangfang Qian Department when she was in charge of the Jiankang Dynasty. These official slaves were often captured by Hou Jing's rebel army and the Northern Qi invaders from the south. Therefore, they all had good military qualities, and there were nearly 3,000 people.
Chen Qian named it Danshan. It usually transports commercial goods. If necessary, it can directly distribute weapons and organize it into an army. It is also an elite force with considerable combat effectiveness. It is regarded as a trump card in Chen Qian's hand, and is also controlled by her confidants. Hua Jiao is in charge.
Dumping stolen goods in Wuzhong and plundering people's wealth can certainly arouse the anger of these powerful people in Wuzhong, but the issue itself is quite embarrassing and it is not suitable to discuss it in depth, so Chen Qian coughed twice in the banquet.
Shen Ke understood what he meant and stopped continuing the topic. Instead, he said: "The Tang Dynasty, a fierce and powerful country, will never be satisfied with the present. Now it has conspired and plotted, all of which are paving the way for the future use of swords and weapons. If I, the soldiers of Wu Zhong, are completely unprepared, I will become slaves to the Northerners in the blink of an eye! Since you have gathered under the king's command, you should also have this understanding. Now that the king is asking for advice, the only thing he tells you is to uphold benevolence and righteousness, and unite your will to achieve success. , to avoid the human tragedy of the country being turned upside down and the country being turned into ashes!”
Most of the people present had personally experienced the Hou Jing Rebellion, the catastrophe that swept across Jiangdong. When they heard what Shen Ke said was so serious, old memories couldn't help but come back to their minds again. Some people couldn't help but say: "Although the Lord of the Tang Dynasty is heroic, , He is just another hero from the north. Since Yongjia, the people of Qin and Wei have moved south. Lord, it is inevitable that Liang Zu was greedy for merit and caused misfortune.
Those who came before were all temporary talents, but they were still unable to break this eternal situation. If the Lord of the Tang Dynasty was an outstanding person, how could he not understand the lessons of his predecessors? If you ignore all the past events and still insist on attacking me, you are nothing more than an arrogant man who is greedy for success and will injure himself in the long run. There is nothing to worry about! "
As soon as this statement came out, many people present nodded in agreement. The situation of division between the north and the south has been formed for many years, and there were not without some heroic heroes attacking from the south to the north. However, the situation of the division between the north and the south has not changed much, except that their respective powers have grown and declined.
Therefore, in the minds of many people, the division of the North and the South is already the situation that destiny should have. It is difficult for anyone to make changes. If they challenge it reluctantly, they will inevitably suffer backlash. Even for the demise of Northern Qi, many people attributed it to the fact that the Qi leader sent troops across the river to fight and caused great losses to the division and brigade, allowing the West to take advantage.
Such prejudices and obsessions, not to mention today, even in future generations with advanced information, there will still be many people who are addicted to the light of some imaginary lighthouse and cannot extricate themselves. When a concept is formed, the more ignorant it is, the more stubborn it will be.
In the minds of many people in Wuzhong, there was fear, envy, disgust and resistance towards the Tang state, but there was no picture of the Tang army coming south in large numbers and completely occupying Jiangdong. Because in their minds, this possibility should not exist in the first place, so why worry about it in vain and seek trouble?
After hearing such pedantic remarks, Hou Andu, who had a rather irritable personality, could no longer suppress his anger. He directly jumped up and pointed at the powerful people in Wuzhong who were still echoing this statement and shouted angrily: "Zeng I heard that Wu'er was short-sighted. I saw that the late master and the king were both powerful and talented, but now I see how ugly the rumors are.
By crossing the river and governing it, I, the young man from the east of the Yangtze River, got it by bathing in blood in the river. How could it be that God's will has sent me such a favor! Last year, thieves invaded Zhongshan. Unless the late master led some troops to fight against the thieves, you fellow villagers have long been waiting to be slaughtered at home. Why are you talking about ignorant monsters today? Nowadays, thieves have captured more than half of the important river defense towns. You don't care about the trouble, but still hope for God's rescue. You are really as stupid as a pig and as stupid as a pig! Where is God's will? God's will is here, if you don't follow it now, you will die! "
The discussion atmosphere in the hall today was not harmonious to begin with. Everyone had their own ideas and had not yet reached a unified opinion. Hou Andu suddenly opened his mouth and fired a barrage of map cannons, which reduced all the powerful people in Wuzhong to pigs and dogs. Everyone looked down on their faces. Naturally, none of them looked very good, and many people couldn't help but stare angrily.
When Hou Andu scolded him, even Chen Qian's brave general Luo Ya, who was also born in Wuzhong, couldn't help but said: "Mr. Hou, your words are wrong! My hometown has suffered many disasters, not just the few that Mr. Hou has seen?" Before my father-in-law, my hometown suffered many calamities, but even though I could not survive the injuries, today the elders of Wuzhong could not live without Yang Gong’s resistance! Even if the thieves crossed the river and Jiankang failed to defend it, the people of our hometown would still be bathed in blood without seeing the old days! The Heavenly Master and the righteous people, no matter how many times they go to the ocean, they can still come back!"
After listening to Luo Ya's argument, Hou Andu was not angry, but laughed even more: "What Luo said is why you, Wu'er, are so confident? If you are brave enough to make progress now, you will be better tomorrow." He was a loyal servant of the country, but now he is cowardly in his hometown, just waiting for the enemy to come, and then he will follow the way of the Heavenly Master and join the sea to become thieves? Is this a plan that ordinary people can do? "
Under Hou Andu's ridicule, many powerful people in Wuzhong suddenly became hot-tempered. Obviously, such a retreat is also in their minds.
Although Chen Qian was also troubled by the lack of bravery of these powerful people in Wuzhong, she could not let Hou Andu continue to make such mockery, otherwise people's hearts would be broken.
So he stood up immediately, took Hou Andu's hand personally, and led him out of the hall, so as not to stay in the hall and create hatred. However, when he returned to the hall, several Wu Xiang powerful men had already left the table with displeasure.
Chen Qian was also a little helpless about this. As for this meeting, naturally it could not go on. She could only declare it over temporarily and go to another hall to appease the crowd with a banquet of wine and food.
"Although my plan failed, I finally let the imperial court know that the Sanwu people are very angry and dare not touch it lightly. This allows me to calmly plan my future plans when I have free time."
After the banquet was over, Chen Qian gathered her confidants to analyze the current situation: "Now it is a foregone conclusion that the Tang army will cross the river, and the forward plan to enter Tunanchuan is not feasible. At today's gathering, I saw that the people's hearts are still not enough, and we want to It makes the disciples compete, but they still need more supervision and temptation! Fortunately, Duke Hou is willing to make a big plan, and Jin'an, Dongyang and other princes can also help, just thinking about making plans.
Now that the northern barbarians are advancing towards Guangling, Jingkou will definitely be in trouble. Xu Duqian was greedy for goods and profits, and was alienated from me. This time he came to the court with a shy face, but he still failed to stop the court's plan. After returning to town, I should think about how he will make a living. In the country, I am the only one who can do it. To back it up. Deyan went to visit me on his behalf, letting him know that I still care about him, so don't make any mistakes again! "
Although the powerful people in Wuzhong had different hearts and minds and could not be united as one, the momentum created by gathering under Chen Qian's sect also made the court dare not act rashly against them. If she wanted to continue the confrontation, Xu Du, who was stationed in Jingkou, was still an important figure, so Chen Qian had to continue to fight. It just so happened that the court was ignoring Xu Du's demands in order to cater to the needs of the Tang State, so Chen Qian arranged for her confidants to come. Zhongju went to lobby for contact.
Then he pointed to several of his subordinates, including Han Zigao, and said: "The price of cloth in Wuzhong became lower and lower, and it was difficult for the cold men to feed themselves. Zigao and others went to the countryside separately to recruit refugees and sneaked into Wu County. When the war in Nanchuan became more intense, Just take control of Wu County and wait for me to gather you there!"
Although there is no shortage of products in Jiangdong, the price of cloth is one of the most important indicators of people's livelihood. The cheaper the cloth, the poorer the people and the harder it is to make a living. This is because materials such as kudzu and hemp are among the few production raw materials that the poor poor people can obtain, and linen and kebab are also one of the few products that they can produce in exchange for daily necessities. The unsaleable cloth directly cuts off their livelihood.
When the people's livelihood situation reaches this stage, state and county governments and powerful households in the countryside have to come forward to provide relief, because if it continues to develop, it will affect political performance and public security. But now Chen Qian needs to control more extra-legal forces, so she deliberately refuses to provide relief and recruits soldiers among the dead.
Shen Junli, the current prefect of Wu County, also came from the Shen family of Wuxing. He was the Prince Consort of the dynasty and the brother-in-law of the country's leader Chen Chang. In addition, his father Shen Xun was kidnapped from Jiangling in the past year and later returned to Jiangdong from Chen Chang. Therefore, The position is also closer to the imperial court.
Therefore, Chen Qian planned to take advantage of the Tang army and the imperial troops to fight with the rebels in Nanchuan, and invade Tuwu County due to the threat of bees and thieves, so as to completely control the land of Sanwu in her own hands. In this way, she could connect with Jingkou Xu By controlling the outline of the court, if the Tang army really invades in large numbers, they can still hold the ground and defend it. If the Tang army cannot be driven back, they can also follow the example of the Eastern Jin Dynasty master Sun En and others and sail on the sea as the powerful people in Wuzhong planned, and wait for the time to return. .
Not to mention Chen Qian's various plans and calculations here, when Datang Shannan learned that the imperial court was finally going to use troops in Shannan again, the crowd was boiling for a while. All the generals actively requested a fight and refused to give in. Even when Chen Jun was After being in place, the Tang army has not yet completed its reorganization.
The National Day holiday has begun. I wish everyone a happy holiday! ! !
