Chapter 37: Zhu Tai Looks at Jingguan Road (04)
"Three thousand beheadings?!"
"It's just a Montenegrin party with thieves. When he was in Shengzhou before, he had already killed an unknown number of people, but now he is just cutting the grass and eradicating the roots. Qiang Yuanming thinks that this number is not a big deal, I have seen a lot before, and the Montenegrin party does not even exist for revenge now, "Now the unlucky thing is the Sansi Yamen who wants to pay for it." I don't know what the Liao people will think. β
It's just because Han Gang also said in the recital, 'Misuse the map, get lost, cross the border by mistake, fortunately there is no big problem'. The soldiers and horses of the folded family chased and killed the Black Mountain party and chased them to Liaojing.
Qiang Yuanming shook his head: "The Liao people don't think it's a misunderstanding. β
"Of course it's not a misunderstanding!"
How light it is to say this!
Cai Jing grinded his teeth after reading it, Han Gang is a liar.
"Three thousand, three thousand!" Cai Jing stood up and walked back and forth in the public hall.
Three thousand beheaded today, eight thousand beheaded tomorrow. A beheading is a merit, and a merit is a reward. In the past, almost all of the two mansions and the three divisions were caught up by the merit and rewarded to avoid debts, and now they are beheaded by thousands of people, is this to make Wang Anshi the king of Zhou?
The so-called common hatred and hatred. The lack of money in the treasury is bad news for the hundreds of officials and officials in Beijing. They have to rely on the state treasury for food and clothing. Even if the daily income will not increase, the gifts during the festival will be deducted miserably. How can such a Hedong, such a Hangang, not be regarded as a troublemaker in the court?
Don't mention the political hall, just think about the Privy Council, Zhang Zihou is already very annoyed about the reward for the forbidden army in Beijing. Think about the three divisions again, for the sake of the new reward, how many people up and down are hurting their brains. Han Gang did this, but he offended everyone. Even in Shilin, they will disagree with Han Gang's behavior.
If it was three or five hundred, Cai Jing would have believed it, and the generals who were dispatched had all reached the level of Zhekexing, how could there not be hundreds of heads to sacrifice the flag? But now it is a full 3,000 beheadings, it will never be 'misused map, lost way, and crossed the border by mistake', if it is really as Han Gang said, Zhe Kexing should really die-should have died a long time ago, where can he live until now.
It must have been chased and killed, and then all the people were killed and then came back with their heads, so it was called 'fortunate that there was no big problem'.
"After those Black Mountain thieves were defeated and retreated in Liao, most of them must have fled to the territory of Liao, who would dare to stay in Fuzhou for a long time. The Linfu army was able to get so many beheadings, it must have crossed the border deliberately...... No," Cai Jing's footsteps suddenly stopped, a frightened look appeared on his face, and his voice became trembling: "There are not many Black Mountain party items left, and the Liao people are in the Kou, and there are not many tribes who dare to rebel." Where did the three thousand beheadings come from? I don't dare to take the old and weak women and children to make up the number! β
ββ¦β¦ Liao?! Qiang Yuanming jumped up suddenly, "Is he crazy?!" β
What exactly was Han Gang thinking? Qiang Yuanming didn't understand it at all. Doesn't he want to go back to the capital? The north is unstable, and he will definitely not come back. If it's just a Montenegrin party, it's okay to say, maybe Yelu Yixin will feel that more is better than less. But if he kills his own family, Yelu Yixin can't bear it anymore.
"Could it be that Han Gang didn't control the people below?" Qiang Yuanming thought about the reason, "Didn't they all say in the report of the Fuzhou and the Second Envoy of the Establishment and Transfer Division before, that the Montenegrin Party took advantage of the empty army of Fuzhou before and caused a lot of evil outside the river. Although it will not be as serious as Daizhou and Xinzhou, it is impossible not to retaliate against the arrogance of the Fold family. β
"No way!" Cai Jing denied it, "Without Han Gang's permission, not a single soldier or soldier will dare to move!" β
Cai Jing never believed that Zhe Kexing dared to do things on his own. Not to mention that the Zhe family has always been law-abiding, that is, with Han Gang's current prestige in Hedong, even if Zhi Kexing changes his temperament, he will not send troops to the border without Han Gang's permission.
"But Han Gang definitely wants to come back. He indulged in his family, isn't it the opposite of the opposite?! Qiang Yuanming shook his head, as long as the Liao people on the border make trouble, Han Gangke must stay in Hedong for two or three more years.
Cai Jing also couldn't understand, how could Han Gang be so sure that the Liao people would definitely not be embarrassed by him?
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"How can this be thought of? This is naturally Han Gang's certainty! Xing Shu said loudly in Cai Qu's mansion, "He is sure that the Liao thieves will not retaliate for this, not even hunting on the border." In this way, it is not easy to be accused of provoking the border."
If Han Gang was viciously punished, Liao Guo did not say a word. When the time comes, 'It is the Great Wall of your thousands of miles', will the princes of the two governments still have to be human beings?
Cai Qu's brows furrowed and he asked, "Where did he come from?" β
"Xing Shu doesn't know...... But only when it was certain that the Liao people would be shrunken turtles did Han Gang dare to order Zhi Kexing to cross the border and kill people. He must be sure! β
Among Zaifu, the one who knows the most about Liao is not necessarily Han Gang, but the one who is most familiar with the northeast of the river is definitely Han Gang. For the human geography near Yanmen, now in Kaifeng City, even a three-foot child can say a few words, but the location of Shengzhou is too far, and on the other side of the border, few people can explain how many enemies there are. If it must be said that there is, the current Hedong system envoy Han Gang must be one of them.
Xing Shu was very sure that Han Gang was sure that he could complete all this.
But this is complete nonsense.
However, Cai did not say that Xing Shu was wrong. Han Gang has brought him too many 'surprises' over the years, it is difficult to guess what Han Gang will do, but it is easy to guess the outcome, just bet on Han Gang. If Cai is indeed not the prime minister, he can do so.
But he is the prime minister, and he doesn't want to know Han Gang's thoughts and methods, how dare he bet.
Cai Qu's fingers caressed his eyebrows hard, he had just solved the problem of the forbidden army in Beijing, and it was the time for a headache.
After the increased reward was distributed, the trouble-making forbidden army died down, and the imperial court immediately settled the accounts, and escorted the twenty-four people who led the troublemakers to the execution ground together, cut five people, and cut thirteen in half, and the remaining six were also sentenced to be beheaded, and none of them were spared. There are also nearly 20 generals and officials, big and small, who have also been moved to the left, dismissed, or even posthumously destroyed their writings since they were born on the grounds that they have no way to govern the army. This was the court's usual method of dealing with unrest in the army. Set the hearts of the people and punish the heads.
"Could it be that Han Gang and the Liao people have reached some secret agreement? Otherwise, how can he be sure? He suddenly looked up and asked.
"Maybe there really is a secret agreement." Xing Shu nodded violently, "Yelu Yixin's Huluduo was originally the ranch of the Black Mountain Party Item, and he definitely didn't want the Black Mountain Party Item to return to the Liao Realm. Perhaps Han Gang saw this just ...... The Montenegrin party item was sold to the Liao. β
Cai did purse his lips tightly, and the lines at the center of his eyebrows became deeper. Although he said it, he still felt that it was impossible. What kind of crime is it to make a secret pact with the enemy?! Why did Han Gang put his reputation on it. Once it is found out, Mo said that he can't go back to Kaifeng, even if the qi study is over.
What's more, the number of beheadings this time is not right, the number of the Montenegrin party has already been calculated when it was settled, and the number of 3,000 beheadings can be obtained, unless all the tribes have rebelled - but is this possible? cut the Liao people to fill the number, and asked Yelu Yixin to help him cover up, if this guess is said, Cai can indeed become the biggest joke in the capital this year.
It doesn't matter if it's possible...... Surely someone will believe Han Gang's words.
And not a few, but the vast majority.
The people of the capital and the Shilin of Kaifeng are rejoicing at the achievements of Hedong.
They didn't know the seriousness of the three thousand beheadings, they only knew that the rebellion of the road had come to a deserved end. As for the offense, don't you take the wrong one with you when you walk?
The cheers of the scholars and the people did not affect the two provinces for a while, but it was a scourge after all.
"Han Gang's purpose is to be recalled after all." Cai Cheng said slowly.
Xing Shu nodded in agreement, "That's right." Naturally. β
Han Gang had inadvertently mentioned that he wanted to clean up Shengzhou in the music before, although it was just a simple sentence, but the storm that could be set off could not be represented by one sentence.
The main contradiction is still in Han Gang's ambiguous thoughts: "Which of the two mansions wants to get his means?" Who can't think of his purpose! β
Han Gang's hand was to force the two governments to recall him.
Xing Shu said: "But if you kill a thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred." Han Gang was in big trouble this time. β
"What if Liaoguo doesn't react?"
As Xing Shu said, since Han Gang dared to loosen the chain in his hand and let go of the fold of Kexing, then he must be sure that the Liao State would not come out. said that Han Gang was vain and provoked, but the Liao State did not react at all at that time, wouldn't that become a joke?
"Liao Guo will definitely not make any moves." Xing Shu smiled: "Can't it be planted on him?" β
If you want to add sin, there is no excuse.
Han Gang and Zhang Xiaojie reached an agreement in private. The Montenegrin party was originally the old lord of Yelu Yixin's territory, and they are dead, and the happiest person will only be Yelu Yixin.
If you say yes, you don't. There is a division of teaching: the thief bites and enters the bone for three points. Moreover, he who speaks is not a thief?
"Han Gang is far away in the sky, and the discussion inside and outside the capital is still up to him?"
If there is a movement in Liao, it will be a reckless provocation, and Han Gang's control is not strict. If the Liao State does not move, it will be Han Gang and the Liao people to reach an agreement. You can put the blame on him.
There is only one reason for the two governments.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
From the gossip in the capital, discordant voices began to be heard.
The number of people who cheered Hangang's victory continued unabated, but there were more and more people in Shilin who held another point of view.
This is a contest of public opinion.
However, in order to set off a momentum in public opinion, it must have characteristics and be able to attract people.
Just like the journalistic principle of later generations, a dog bites a man is not news, a man bites a dog is. If the content can't be sensational, then the title must be sensational.
Therefore, the rumors of Han Gang's collusion with the Liao State became very popular for a while.
It was only after Han Gang's second letter arrived in the capital that these rumors disappeared and disappeared without a trace.
There is no further content on Han Gang's new recital, only the means to help solve the soldier's reward. Distribute land to meritorious people, and then let them leave the army and go back to the requishment.
This article almost completely forgets that Han Gang still has crimes that have not been washed away.
In any case, the total number of troops and military dependents in the Gyeonggi area is three or four hundred thousand, and Han Gang's proposal is related to their future. This is far more important than who he colludes with.
While the imperial court was discussing Han Gang's proposal, another letter arrived in the capital - it could not be called a concerto, but a letter of state
ββThe Liao army violated the border, and Goryeo asked for help.
