Chapter 683: Joining forces
Luo Xin shook his head and said: "I don't know, but there is nothing surprising about this, the reason why the Japanese are called Japanese is because they went ashore to burn and loot, so there is nothing surprising for them to go ashore." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"But this time it's different." Qi Jiguang said solemnly: "Xu Hai, Ye Ma and Xin Wulang have joined forces to log in ......"
Qi Jiguang told Luo Xin in detail everything he heard in the Governor's Palace. After hearing this, Luo Xin's brows furrowed and said:
"Ruan Yu wants to take Zhejiang soldiers to fight the Japanese invaders privately?"
"Yes." Qi Jiguang nodded.
Luo Xin sighed and said: "The Zhejiang soldiers will be eaten by the Japanese and there will be no scum left. ”
"What then?" Qi Jiguang's face also showed an anxious look and said, "Lord Ministry, resolutely do not send troops. It is said that I am afraid that the real purpose of the Japanese is Suzhou and Hangzhou. Once the army goes out, it will allow the Japanese to take advantage of the loopholes and attack Suzhou and Hangzhou. ”
Luo Xin shook his head slightly and said, "The purpose of the Japanese is not Suzhou and Hangzhou, but Hangzhou. ”
"Huh? Why? Qi Jiguang asked puzzled.
Luo Xin looked at Qi Jiguang and saw that he didn't seem to be a fake, so he knew that Qi Jiguang had not grown to the point of being independent, so he analyzed Qi Jiguang:
"You know everything that happened in Hangzhou, right?"
"yes, I know." Qi Jiguang nodded.
"The sudden rise in prices has caused instability among the people of Hangzhou. The workshops were shut down, but tens of thousands of mechanics were unstable. Nowadays, a large number of Japanese pirates have landed, burned, killed, and looted, and everything is not isolated, but connected. ”
"You mean......" Qi Jiguang's face changed.
"It's the people who hate me to the bone and wish I died are pushing behind the scenes." Luo Xin said with a solemn expression.
"They...... Why? Qi Jiguang's expression was pale, and his eyes were full of puzzlement.
Luo Xin's eyes became cold and said: "Because I broke their jobs, the city division cut off their financial routes, so that they could not continue to collude with the Japanese smuggling, a few days ago, those tens of thousands of Japanese criminals just wanted to kill me, but they were killed by me." However, those Japanese are not the main force, they are just stragglers. At this time, Xu Hai, Ye Ma and Xin Wulang are all Japanese giants, and it seems that they really don't want me to live. As soon as I die, they can continue to live a life of monopoly smuggling. Especially when I killed them before, I drove them crazy. ”
"This ......" Qi Jiguang was dumbfounded: "They ...... It's all Ming people......"
"They are not just Ming people, but the Ming family, officials, they form a big network of officials, families and widows, their energy is not small, in such a few days, they can raise prices, force mechanics, collude with the Japanese, you say this network is not powerful?"
"They really ...... Is it as powerful as you say? Is it really as frustrating as you say? Qi Jiguang asked with a sigh.
"You just have to think about it." Luo Xin said in a condensed voice: "In the past few years, is it true that every action of the officers and soldiers will be known in advance? After the Japanese came ashore, was it difficult for the officers and soldiers to grasp their robbery routes? ”
Qi Jiguang's brows tightened more and more, and finally his eyes were like knives: "These people should be killed." ”
"Of course you should!" Luo Xin said coldly. Then he sighed and said, "But you can't kill them all." ”
"Why can't you kill them all?" Qi Jiguang was murderous: "The more traitors like this kill, the better." ”
Luo Xin couldn't help but wipe a handful of sweat in his heart and said: "Then there will be no six great families after the southeast." ”
"Wouldn't it be better if there wasn't? Without these families, the people would have been able to live a better life. ”
Luo Xin looked at Qi Jiguang's angry expression, shook his head, and said a little gloomy:
"If it weren't for the six great families, my future would be good. But at present, it will cause chaos in the entire southeast. ”
"How so?"
"The six great families have been deeply rooted in the southeast, if nothing else, let's just say that the tens of thousands of mechanics are working for the six great families. If the six major families are killed, it will inevitably cause tens of thousands of mechanics to lose their jobs, although the government can take back to operate, but there is a lack of management talents, these workshops to the government, will be corrupted, and the life of the mechanics is not as good as now. These workshops can also be sold, but it takes time, and once the six major families are killed, the government has a lot to do, such as stabilizing prices, etc., where there is time to take care of those mechanics, Hangzhou is bound to be in chaos.
That's just one thing, and there's another. If I really kill all the six great families, it will be a shock to all the families of the Ming Dynasty. If I only kill one family, they will feel that the family deserves it, and they will not be afraid and guard against me. But if I kill six families at once, it will make all the families jealous, and I will become the enemy of all the families of the Ming Dynasty. Even His Majesty has to endure three points to the family. Yuan Jing, do you think that with my body and bones, I can carry the family around the Ming Dynasty? ”
Qi Jiguang was silent, and said half-loudly: "Which family are you going to kill?" ”
"Which one do you think is better?" Luo Xin asked seriously.
Qi Jiguang also thought seriously for a while and said: "This family can't be the strongest, such as the Lu family, there is Lu Bing in the capital, if you kill the Lu family, there will be no good result for the adults." ”
Luo Xin nodded, and Qi Jiguang said: "You can't kill the weakest, so it can't play a deterrent role." ”
Luo Xin nodded again. Qi Jiguang weighed it again and said, "Just the Lu family." The strength of the Lu family is not up or down, and if you kill the Lu family, the result will not be very serious, and it can also have a deterrent effect. ”
"Then the Lu family." Luo Xin nodded.
Qi Jiguang still frowned and said, "No, this is killing a family, not killing a person." Do you have a good reason? ”
"Yes!"
Qi Jiguang nodded and continued to ask: "Although the Lu family is not the largest family, it is not small. If you just copy his family, will it cause other families to fight back? ”
"How far can they fight back?" Luo Xin said with a cold face: "Now they are raising prices, pushing the mechanics to make trouble, and seducing the Japanese country, which is not the crime of extermination?" I can't think of anything worse? What other cards can they play against me? This was their last fierce counterattack. If they don't care about the lives of the people in the southeast, why should I care about their lives and deaths? ”
Qi Jiguang pondered for a while and said: "There are three results of this, the first is that the six great families are afraid and take the initiative to visit you and cooperate with all your actions." This is the best result. The second result is that the six great families are completely right with you, and they will use all the power in the capital to impeach you, which is neither good nor bad. The third result is that the six great families are completely crazy, they continue to manipulate prices, make the mechanics make trouble, make Hangzhou completely chaotic, beat, smash, and rob the entire city of Hangzhou. And if possible, they will also collude with the Japanese to attack the city of Hangzhou. ”
Qi Jiguang's voice paused, and he stared at Luo Xin with burning eyes: "You have thought about these three results, how do you deal with them?" ”
"I've thought about it." Luo Xin nodded and said, "If it's the first result, then everyone is happy." The city division can operate normally, and the southeast can also leave the five major families. If it is the second outcome, I have also thought of a countermeasure and let the people who impeached me in the capital stop. If it's the third outcome, then I'll have to kill another family. If you can't, you will kill again. If they are not afraid, I will kill until there is no family in the southeast, which is the result I am most unwilling to face. ”
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Qi Jiguang nodded and said, "It's just a widow...... Alas......"
Luo Xin also sighed and said: "As long as Hangzhou survives this difficulty, the Japanese will retreat when they see that there is no hope of attacking Hangzhou." And this is also a warning to those families, if anyone is found to collude with the Japanese invaders, there will only be the result of being raided, and the southeast is not what it used to be, and if you want to be like before, you still think that the Ming Dynasty will lose control of the sea and let them continue to monopolize smuggling, it is impossible. Once the smuggling is eradicated, they will no longer report to the pirates. The Japanese who came ashore in this way were blind, and it would be much easier to annihilate them. ”
Luo Xin and Qi Jiguang conspired for a while, and Luo Xin sent Qi Jiguang out of the door. Qi Jiguang returned to the barracks and began to enter Hangzhou City with 3,000 men. In this way, the atmosphere in Hangzhou's mainland suddenly became more tense. The news of the arrival of the Japanese invaders swept through Hangzhou, and more people went to buy food and other supplies, causing prices to soar further.
At the same time, inside the prefect's yamen, Song Danian was like an ant on a hot pot, walking back and forth on the ground. There was a sound of footsteps, and he saw his master walk in, and said with a worried face:
"My lord, prices have skyrocketed again, and if we can't solve the problem within three days, I'm afraid there will be riots in the city."
"What can I do?" Song Danian sat on the chair dejectedly: "This is simply promoted by the six great families, and it is impossible for the six great families to stop." ”
"Let Luo Xin go and apologize to the six great families......"
"Don't even think about it!" Song Danian shook his head and said, "Don't talk about Luo Xin's character, it's impossible to apologize to the six great families." Even if he was willing, it would be impossible for the six great families to forgive him. He killed so many slaves of the six great families, and the six great families had already made up their minds to kill him. Didn't you see that even the Japanese were recruited by them? The six great families will kill Luo Xin at all costs this time.
Six great families, **** also! ”
"Then the ...... of your lord"
Song Danian waved his hand weakly and said, "It's impossible to join forces with the six great families, they are even harming me." So there is only one way to join forces with Luo Xin. ”
"Luo believes that he has a way?"
"He said that he would come to visit me in the house tomorrow, and everything will depend on tomorrow."
Lu Fu.
The heads of the six great families laughed and laughed.
"For two more days, as the Japanese invaders advance in the direction of Hangzhou, it will inevitably detonate the situation in the entire city of Hangzhou. By that time, the city of Hangzhou was full of people who were beating, smashing, and robbing. Luo Xin is dead this time, hehe......"
"Fighting with our six great families, he is still a little tender."
"Isn't it good to honestly learn to be a man like Song Danian? I want to provoke our six great families. In this way, it is good to set an example for the officials in the southeast in the future, so that they can know who is in charge in the southeast! ”
"It's a pity for Song Danian!"
"Hehe......" Lu Ding smiled faintly and said, "From tomorrow onwards, we will all stay in the mansion and sit and watch the wind and clouds rise." ”
"Yes, stay in the house and watch the storm rise. Hahaha......"
"Hahaha......"
"And!" Lu Ding said lightly: "The court has appointed Zhang Juzheng as an inspector to come to Hangzhou to inspect a few days ago, that is, it should be there in the next few days." Maybe tomorrow will come. ”
"Great!" The head of the Lu family smiled happily and said, "Now we have sent people to guide the refugees towards Hangzhou. When the time came, Zhang Juzheng saw that prices in Hangzhou were soaring, the people were making trouble, the refugees were in turmoil, and the Japanese were rampant, and Luo Xin was dead. ”
"It's hard to say!" The head of the Cui family said: "Luo Xin is just a fellow knower, I'm afraid it was Song Danian who died first, but Luo Xin may not be fine." ”
"Whether he has anything to do or not is not what he says, nor is his status determined, but what we say." Lu Ding smiled and said:
"At that time, our people in the capital are not idlers, before Luo Xin came to the southeast, did there be such a chaotic situation in the southeast?
No!
After he came to the southeast, the situation became so erosive, who would believe that it was not his reason?
When the time comes, we will get another book of all the people to present to Your Majesty, and put all the responsibility on Luo Xin, he wants to be fine? Dream! ”
Capital.
The time goes back to half a month ago.
Luo Qing finally escorted three million taels of silver to the capital, and Emperor Jiajing smiled when he saw the white silver. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are also smiling, it has been half a year, and they have not paid all their money. Emperor Jiajing summoned Luo Qing, only asked a few words about Luo Xin, and sent him away. And the hundred officials didn't pay attention to Luo Qing. On the one hand, Luo Qing is not worthy of their relationship, on the other hand, Luo Xin's current situation in Hangzhou, the people in the capital are also clear, and they don't know what Luo Xin's future will be.
No one paid attention to Luo Qing, but Luo Qing was in a good mood, he was originally a simple person, and he was not very good at socializing, so he went home directly.
In the evening, Luo Ye and Luo Ping returned. Together with Luo Heng, the four of them gathered in Luo Heng's room. Luo Zhi ran out to meet with those literati, not knowing that the Luo family was holding a secret meeting.
Luo Qing told his grandfather, uncle, and father about Luo Sheng's trip to Taiwan Island, and then told Luo Xin's meaning. When Luo Qing's words ended, the people in the house were all sluggish, they didn't expect that when Luo Xin ran to the grassland, he would run a force in the grassland, and now he is one of the largest forces in the grassland. Now that he has run to the southeast, he has come up with a big island, listening to what Luo Qing said, that big island is the size of a province, and Luo Xin wants to build a country there.
This old Luo family...... Out of a ...... Freak...... No, heroes!
