Chapter 884: Gansu Emergency
The places in the Ming Dynasty were able to quell the chaos because of this move, but there was no threat to life in other places, and some people began to be incited.
Although they did not know much about the Ming Dynasty, the flow of information in this era was very closed, and many people could only listen to what others said and believed what they said, which caused their impression of the Ming Dynasty to quickly fall to the bottom.
The people at the bottom like to use black and white to evaluate things, and if a person is not a good person, he must be a bad person, so storytelling is very popular among them, because the characters are very distinctive, and the good and bad of people are very distinct.
And since the Ming Dynasty has cut off the world's cultural fortune, it is definitely not a good thing, as for the rumors that circulated before, everyone also regarded it as a conspiracy of the Ming Dynasty, and most of them thought that the people who were in a hurry to migrate to the past would sooner or later spit out the taxes that had been exempted with the principal and interest, and they had to let the Ming court force the family bankrupt.
Xia Guoxiang was very sensitive to this opportunity, and immediately sent people to act, these people disguised themselves as disaster victims and returned, saying that they took Wanguan's family property to the territory of the Ming Dynasty to do business, but they were detained by the government and goods, until all the family's property was squeezed dry, and then they were allowed to return.
Those people were all secretly glad that they did not listen to the rumors that their families moved to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, this is also the usual idea of most people, many people did not catch up with the first batch of migration to the past, and when they reacted, Xia Guoxiang had ordered the border to be blocked, these people did not have the past and naturally wanted to find something to comfort themselves, and now they finally have the opportunity, and they are convinced of the persecution of the Ming Dynasty for this business.
No one cares if these people are from their city, and no one cares when these people appear or disappear, everyone just believes in one thing, the people who moved their families to Daming have suffered, and this is enough to comfort them.
So far, the migration of the people in the south of the Yangtze River to Sichuan and Shu has basically been curbed, and no one can imagine that it will be through such a way, and Xia Guoxiang even felt that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had destroyed his foundation.
Cheng Xiaolian had a light expression, and Yang Youcai also had a look of remorse: "Maybe we should pacify the Zhou Dynasty and do this kind of thing again, now that the hearts of Jiangnan people have been lost, it is not so easy to pacify Jiangnan." ”
"I can't say that." Cheng Xiaolian smiled faintly: "There are advantages to pulling up now, otherwise with the continuous expansion of our power, the tail of Confucius Mansion will not fall, and even if I want to do something to them, I will be powerless, even if we are in this case, it is a fluke to resolve the crisis in the Ming Dynasty, and after pacifying Jiangnan, I don't know how many people will stand up to stop us, and then we can only learn from the founding emperors of previous dynasties and add titles to Confucius." ”
"The minister thinks it's not bad, no matter how powerful the Confucian Mansion is, it just occupies a position in the hearts of scholars, and when it comes to being an official, it depends on the attitude of the imperial court, right? These dynasties and dynasties have not violated the river water with the well water of Confucius, and we can't compete with them. ”
"I can't control the affairs of the past dynasties, I can have the final say in the affairs of the Ming Dynasty, I say that their Confucian Mansion is incompetent, if they change it, I can let them go, but they plan to make me succumb to them with their thousand-year-old heritage, then it is a miscalculation, etiquette, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom and faith, they can't set an example, and they don't move the way of firearms, and they don't move a bit, and they are useless to the Ming Dynasty, but they want to flaunt themselves as a model of the world's people, and I didn't slaughter them together It's already for the sake of the saint's face."
Yang Youcai didn't have any regret for the Confucian Mansion, but it was just a little worthless for Daming, after all, he got into trouble because of this kind of thing: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much, if you want to correct your impression of us, whether it is Fengge or Jinyiwei, they can change their impression of Daming through a few words." ”
"Don't do this for the time being, the wind direction is not good for us now, if they do these things, it will be easy for Xia Guoxiang's people to find out, let them turn away from everyone in the direction, and wait for this limelight to come."
"The situation in Shandong is a little fluctuating, and those people have listened to rumors that are unfavorable to us, even if we want to change their impression of us, it is not so easy."
"According to the usual practice, Shandong will be exempted from taxes for one year, who can let them eat their own stomachs and know in their hearts, closely check the movements in Shandong, especially those who want to do something, we must not let them go, and nip them in the bud, otherwise once the Zhou Dynasty comes back from the counterattack, we will find a random surname Kong and place it in the Confucian Mansion, we will be even more passive."
"Chen, this is a message to General Yuan."
At this time, a brocade guard walked to the front of the hall: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Gansu." ”
Cheng Xiaolian's eyes narrowed: "Hurry up." ”
Yang Youcai opened the urgent report, checked it, and handed it to Cheng Xiaolian, who glanced at it cursoryly: "Immediately Chen Chengan, Jia Xu and several ministers in the court are invited to come over." ”
After a while, these people rushed in, and Cheng Xiaolian waved his hand: "Sit down first, something is going on in Gansu, and you need to get some ideas." ”
These people sat down separately, and Cheng Xiaolian coughed: "There is an urgent report from Jinyiwei, the Yarkand Khanate gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses to rush to the city of Hami, Mu Xiaodi only has 30,000 coalition troops, and most of them are slaves of the Yarkand Khanate, which means that we should make plans early, it should be that the war is not optimistic." ”
These courtiers said in their hearts that it was not only not optimistic, but it was simply the end of the annihilation of the entire army, not to mention the 30,000 slave army, even the 30,000 Ming army may not be able to defeat the 100,000 people of the Yarkand Khanate. Since the people of the Yarkand Khanate were able to snatch the area west of Jiayuguan from the Ming Dynasty, their strength should definitely not be underestimated.
Of course, this also has something to do with the information blockage, most of these courtiers overestimated the strength of the Yarkand Khanate, after all, they were the territory they snatched in their heyday, and it has been more than a hundred years now, and their strength is far less than the original.
However, their worries are not unreasonable, after all, the combat power of the slave army is well known, most of these slave troops have been worn to the point that they have no blood, if they want to wave their flags and shout, it is okay to let them go to the battlefield, I am afraid that they will not be able to stop for long.
Thinking of this, everyone's faces were ugly, and now in this situation, it is really difficult for the Ming army to send an army that can resist the 100,000 troops of the Yarkand Khanate, can it be impossible to see them seize Gansu?
