Chapter 891: The Wind of the Northern Kingdom (I)
Whether Brother Shi is a good person or not, there are many sayings in Jinling City about this now. A group of "old gentlemen" led by Mr. Wenyan thought that Shi Yuan did not respect the rules of etiquette and law and was a heinous criminal, and even privately established a "Stone Refutation Society", mainly against Shi Yuan. In the academy, Shi Yuan is used as a negative teaching material......
Of course, this was only before the Qinglian Sect incident. And after the incident of the Qinglian Sect, the so-called "Stone Rejection Society" was completely silent. Most people were worried that they had offended Shi Yuan, and they were afraid that Shi Yuan would settle accounts after the autumn, so they took advantage of Shi Yuan's opening of the city gate and went out of the city one after another......
However, there are always people who put up the so-called "Gangzheng Festival" and are ready to fight Shi Yuan hard! They even left behind a "legacy bamboo book", ready to carry forward this spirit of their own to future generations...... Just waited for Shi Yuan to come to the door, but what he didn't expect was that after so many days, Shi Yuan had completely ignored them.
They thought that maybe the commotion was too small, and even gathered a crowd in the city to make a fuss. But no one listened to what they said. Even the soldiers patrolling the city walked in front of them, and they didn't care.
Until a few days ago, someone was ready to win over Bai Qinghe, the great Confucian of the world, and then was driven out of Baifu by Bai Qinghe's scolding of his head and face. Only then did they understand - Shi Yuan didn't let them go at all!
Come on! After tossing for so long, people didn't let you go at all...... In desperation, they had no choice but to clean up this dream of "leaving a name in history".
And the main reason for this situation is naturally because they don't usually do good things, and most of the people in the city don't resent Shi Yuan...... Even compared to Luo Haotian, Shi Yuan has done a lot of good things for Jinling!
Therefore, now after he showed the name of "General Pingnan", it can be said that he is in the "observation period". For the people in Jinling City, although submission is a last resort, it is not a willing submission...... This requires a good study of Shi Yuan.
And most of the content on the notice that Brother Shi is posting now is actually "showing goodwill" to the people in the city. Conscription is voluntary, and taxes are exempt...... It can be said that this has left a good impression on him in the hearts of the people of Jinling City! Otherwise, there would be no such title as "Shi Da Nengren".
Regarding Shi Yuan's approach, Guo Renjie and Dong Feng still don't understand. Because in any case, it is now necessary to use troops to the north, and it is not enough to rely on this mere 3,000 Dingnan troops. Moreover, they are more worried about the situation north of the Yangtze River and Beiqing......
The capital of Beiqing is in Luoyang, and before Daqing was not divided, this was originally the capital of Daqing. But after the division of Daqing, the second prince, who led the troops far away in the frontier, led the troops all the way to hold high the banner of "Zhengzhu", and killed them until Luoyang, and drove the eldest prince who had inherited the orthodox position in the palace at that time across the Yangtze River!
And this second prince is naturally the capital in Luoyang. Compared with the master of Nanqing, the second prince is obviously much more sensible. Although for so many years, he has not given up his plan to recover the southern country and unify Daqing...... But I didn't put all my mind on it.
In fact, the situation in Beiqing is much more "uncomfortable" than that of Nanqing, especially in the past few years, the emperor of Nanqing has constantly sent troops to attack the Yangtze River, and Beiqing not only has to deal with Nanqing, but there are Huns in the north! It is not too much to say that it is an enemy on the belly and back.
But perhaps it is precisely because of this "worry" situation that Beiqing has maintained the strength that Daqing should have had before! And in the territory of Beiqing, there is no such moth as the Qinglian Sect. The emperor of Beiqing may be because of the relationship between leading troops all the year round, but he is the master who does not rub sand in his eyes. Compared with Nanqing, who likes to compromise and get by, this second prince is much more ruthless.
A person like Luo Haotian, if he was in Beiqing, would probably have died hundreds of times......
However, it is precisely because of Emperor Beiqing's violent way of controlling corruption that everyone in the Beiqing Dynasty is in danger, and not many people dare to put too much opinion on his words. In other words, the emperor of Beiqing is a stubborn and self-serving lord.
But although he is stubborn and self-serving, this second prince is not without scheming! Born in the palace, scheming is innate.
When he was young, he happened to meet Dong Qingyun, who was just a scholar rushing to take the exam. But the talent is already quite admirable...... He saw that Dong Qingyun was a talent, but under the circumstances at that time, he did not include Dong Qingyun in his account.
He just gave the down-and-out Dong Qingyun ten taels of silver. Then he said a word to Dong Qingyun, "These ten taels of silver, when you return them, I just ask you not to forget ......"
At that time, in the court, he was weak in power, and he couldn't compete with the great prince at that time. And since then, he has never seen Dong Qingyun again. And after Dong Qingyun became an official in high school, although he knew his identity, he never took the initiative to find this second prince......
Later, the second prince took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the frontier to lead the troops, and since then, the two have never seen each other again.
However, every time Dong Qingyun ascended, the second prince would write a congratulatory letter, with ten taels of silver in the letter...... Before Daqing was divided, almost all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty thought that the second prince did not have the intention of seizing the heir. Only Dong Qingyun knows that this second prince has never given up!
And later, it really fulfilled his conjecture......
It can be said that the experience of this second prince is full of forbearance, and in terms of scheming alone, he is definitely the most suitable candidate for this Daqing Emperor. Dong Qingyun even felt that if there was no Shi Yuan, this Nanqing would be "annexed" by him sooner or later.
And it is such a person, but now he is also worried about the name Shi Yuan! In the main hall of Luoyang Palace, compared with before, the faces of the civil and military officials of Beiqing are much better-looking. Because the master sitting on the dragon chair is talking about a "happy event" today.
Nanqing is in chaos! When this news came, it can be said that it was extremely exciting. Everyone felt that now was a good opportunity to send troops, but the emperor of Beiqing was not in a hurry, and he didn't even talk about it these days! It wasn't until yesterday that he received a secret letter, and it was only when he came to court this morning that he talked about it......
