Chapter 191: Two parties pull together
Han Gushan immediately arched his hand and said: "Song people Zeng Yun, during the Jingkang period, the price of human flesh was cheaper than the dog pig, from Huainan to Jing Zhen, there are people who hold the line and eat it, called 'two-legged sheep'." In fact, since the end of the Han Dynasty and until the Mengyuan Dynasty, many soldiers took two-legged sheep to satisfy their hunger due to lack of food and grass.
"This 'grain' is not only available everywhere, but like a shepherd, it can be driven along with the army, and it can be eaten immediately. In this way, the matter of grain and grass is immediately resolved. ”
Two-legged sheep, human flesh? Although Azig was accustomed to slaughtering cities and plundering them, the mention of eating human flesh still made him sick to his stomach for a while, and he couldn't help but look coldly at Han Gushan, who was waiting for his praise with a flattering face.
He couldn't understand that this southerner, who had studied sage books such as "establishing people by their own desires, and reaching people by their own desires" since childhood, could come up with such a "wonderful" idea.
He wanted to scold Han Gushan and give up, but suddenly thought that this was indeed a solution to the problem of grain and grass, but he couldn't let the warriors of Jianzhou eat it.
He smiled at Han Gushan, "General Han has a good method. ”
"Lord Shabel compliments! It's just a small skill of carving insects. Han Gushan said happily.
Azig continued: "Then from now on, the rations of the 3,000 green battalions of your department and the 4,000 people of the original Li Chengdong department will be reduced by eighty, and the lack of grain and grass will be made up with two-legged sheep. ”
"Lord Belle, I ......"
Han Gushan's face stiffened when he heard this, and he heard Azig say: "In the future, you will go out with the people of Turai to rob grain, and take your 'sheep' back by the way." Remember, don't leak your whereabouts! ”
……
Jian'an is the second largest town in Fujian, and after continuous operation through successive dynasties, it has a large population and is prosperous and wealthy. The origin of the name "Fujian" is from Fuzhou and Jian'an, the most prosperous places in Fujian.
Zhu Linmiao stared at the towering walls of Jian'an City, but his mind was not at all on how to attack the city - in fact, with Shi Lang as an internal response, it was not difficult to take down this city guarded by only more than a thousand Jianjiao.
It was the internal affairs of Daming that annoyed him the most.
Nearly ten days ago, he had learned that the Ming throne was successfully inherited, and Longwu's youngest son ascended the throne, granted amnesty to the world, and the country was called Taizheng.
Although it was a departure from his original plan to conceal the news of Longwu's death, the transfer of state power did not seem to cause much turmoil, which made him slightly relieved. As long as the Ming Dynasty is internally stable, he has the confidence to lead the Ming Dynasty out of the haze of the Jianyu invasion and return to a prosperous and prosperous world.
But soon, the Empress Dowager Zeng sent eunuchs to exaggerate his military exploits, and praised him in the name of the emperor, and also copied all over the country to show the world.
Zhu Linmiao thought that the Empress Dowager Zeng was trying to boost the confidence of the people of the Ming Dynasty through the great victory, but it didn't hurt to exaggerate it a little, but he didn't think about it.
Unexpectedly, the new secretary of the ministry, Wang Yinghua, also came, but on behalf of His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King, he came to commend him for his great victories in Xianxia Pass and Quzhou.
After careful questioning, he learned that it turned out to be the "auxiliary king" who was Zhu Yuao, the Tang king who had previously served as the superintendent of the country.
That Wang Yinghua behaved very respectfully, and gave a lot of gifts, and his words were full of courtesy.
Especially before leaving, Wang Yinghua hinted that as long as he supported Zhu Yuao, if the Tang King could go further, he would give him Ganzhou as a domain and add the title of "Prince".
Further? Zhu Linmiao was greatly surprised, then Zhu Yuao is already an auxiliary king, and if he goes further, he will have to rebel and become the emperor?!
When Wang Yinghua left, he immediately asked people to inquire about the situation in the court, and only then did he learn that Zhu Yuao had already inserted his cronies to serve in important positions in the imperial court before the prince returned to Tianxing Mansion, and transferred Su Guansheng's Xinwei army as the imperial camp to garrison the palace, and held Tianxing Mansion in his hands.
But then Empress Zeng and the crown prince returned to the capital in a hurry, escorted by Huang Mingjun's men and horses, and suddenly announced the news of Longwu's death in the court with lightning speed. Immediately read out the edict of Longwu, ordered the prince to succeed to the throne, and named Huang Daozhou, Lu Zhenfei, and Yang Tinglin as the three divisions, and appointed the ministers of Gu Ming.
In the end, she abruptly crowned Zhu Yuao as an auxiliary king and continued to govern the government.
Zhu Linmiao thought that the Empress Dowager Zeng and Zhu Yuao had sent people to curry favor with him that day, and immediately understood the truth.
This is obviously Zhu Yu'ao learned in advance that Longwu had collapsed, so he had the idea of separation. And Queen Zeng rushed before he did anything, relying on the edict and the name of righteousness to quickly let the crown prince ascend the throne, but she was afraid of Zhu Yuao's power in the court, so she named him the auxiliary king to calm his heart.
It's just that judging from Wang Yinghua's words, this Zhu Yuao is still ambitious.
"Infighting, infighting!" Zhu Linmiao only felt bored for a while, the strong fortress was all breached from the inside.
Especially in the Ming Dynasty, all kinds of infighting in history have almost never been broken. First, Emperor Taichang and King Fu fought for the country, and then the Donglin Party fought with Zhejiang, Qi and Chu, the Donglin Party and Wei Zhongxian, and the entire Wenchen Group fought with Chongzhen. Until the Southern Ming Dynasty, King Lu Jianguo and Longwu were still in internal friction.
This series of infighting finally exhausted the last trace of strength of the huge country, and it can be said that all kinds of disadvantages of the Ming Dynasty in history are all on the infighting.
He thought that he had tried his best to save Daming from danger, but these people kept demolishing the stage in the court, so he felt angry and couldn't help but say to himself: "The country is in danger, and there is still the heart to fight for power!" Do you have to toss Daming away before you are willing?! ”
Shi Lin on the side was stunned when he heard this, and immediately signaled the surrounding soldiers to retreat, and then walked to Zhu Linmiao, and arched his hand: "Master, I have a word, and I have been holding it in my heart for a long time." ”
Zhu Linmiao heard him change his name, and she felt quite strange in her heart, and couldn't help but turn her head.
Shi Lin continued to say in a deep voice: "Master, when today's son is just a nurse, what can he do?" The Tang Dynasty has been in charge of the country for nearly half a year, and he has not seen the slightest political achievement, but he will only fight for power. ”
He inhaled hard, looking a little excited, "If you want me to say, you have to be in charge of this Ming Dynasty to have hope!" As long as you bring the army back to Tianxing Mansion and ascend to the throne, I don't think anyone dares to say no......"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhu Linmiao glared at him and interrupted sharply.
"I speak from the heart......"
"Shut up! Don't talk about it again! ”
"This, it's ......"
As a modern person, Zhu Linmiao does not have the idea of loyalty. What he wants is the strength of the Ming Dynasty, the people from being slaughtered by foreigners, and the bright future of the entire Chinese nation!
It's not that he didn't want to be the emperor himself, if it was beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, he would not hesitate to ascend to the throne, with the combat effectiveness of the army in his hands, absolutely no one in the entire Fujing would be able to stop him.
But judging from the current situation, if he really becomes the emperor, it will have a very adverse impact on the Ming Dynasty, which is by no means what he wants to see.
