"Mrs. Uncle, Lady Uncle, Lady Uncle......"
On the fourth day of the first day of November, Mrs. Bo, Wang Douzheng's wife Xie Xiuniang, began to inspect the cities and forts on the East Road.
At this time, it was a time when the crisis on the East Road was very urgent.
In the middle of October, before the East Road was noticed, they began to buy a large number of food stamps on the East Road by various means, with silver, commercial goods, etc., or other means.
For the merchants in the market, as well as the soldiers and civilians in various places, someone suddenly bought food stamps at a high price, and they were naturally very willing, and at this time, many large caravans went out of the fortress with the army, and the sense of smell of the crisis, the merchants who stayed behind were not as good as those merchants who went out of the fortress.
Unconsciously, a large number of food stamps have been concentrated in the hands of certain people, both military and civilian, and in the market.
Subsequently, everyone began to use a series of means such as spreading rumors, resisting the export of commercial goods on the East Road, and intercepting the import of commercial goods to block the entry of foreign goods or raw materials.
Then those people began to use silver food stamps and other high prices to buy grain commodities for hoarding, or to transport them abroad, and then they gradually used food stamps to exchange for food.
These business tactics can be described as interlocking and pressing step by step.
Under their operation, some soldiers and civilians suddenly discovered that the food stamps in the market were becoming more and more scarce, and new food stamps were not issued, and some people had to resume using the silver or copper coins that had accumulated dust in their homes, and some even found that their own grain had been taken away at high prices. As a result, I wanted to go to the grain store to redeem food stamps, but I had more than enough heart but not enough strength.
Some soldiers and civilians who still have food stamps in their hands are also hesitant.
Prices in the market. It also began to rise more or less, and finally began to rise violently as there were fewer goods in the market, especially for salt and tea. The faster the price rises.
In the cities and forts on the east road, some of the people's troops were in a state of panic, and the more so. The less available there is in the market.
Faced with this situation, the shogunate took drastic measures to ration salt, tea, vegetable oil, soy vinegar and other commercial goods. All such goods in the market were dispatched and disbursed by the shogunate, except for the grain, which remained unchanged and implemented a free market economy.
The Propaganda Section under the Intelligence Division unites the propaganda forces of the cities and forts. began to spread overwhelming propaganda, while exposing the conspiracy of profiteers, he also claimed that he should be upright and defeat all profiteers who have evil intentions on the East Road in terms of business.
Mrs. Tai Bo and Mrs. Bo all set an example by implementing the minimum ration of salt and other standards.
At this time, the officials left behind in the shogunate also gathered in the general's army to discuss the Taibo's wife Zhong and the uncle's wife Xie's to inspect the forts and appease the people's hearts.
For Zhong's family, her impression of the court is complex and vague, she only knows that the saint is diligent, but there are many traitors in the court and the opposition, especially when her son returns from the expedition and thieves, and her preaching to her baby grandson makes her feel that the Ming Dynasty is pitch black up and down, and it doesn't work, but beside her, all kinds of flies and dogs are around, and she has seen a lot of knowledge in the past.
For her baby son Wang Dou, since the seventh year of Chongzhen, since Wang Dou was promoted to the general banner, she has been very proud of her son and believes in her son Wang Dou unconditionally.
For her, her son is sensible, so he will fight for the court in the south and the north, and make great contributions, so he is naturally a great loyal minister.
Therefore, when I asked the officials of the shogunate to ask Mrs. Taibo and Mrs. Uncle to inspect the castles and appease people's hearts, she readily agreed.
But after thinking about it, Mrs. Taibo, who was still very strong, pondered for a long time and sighed: "A handful of old bones, I can't walk, so let my daughter-in-law walk on behalf of the old body." ”
From the 4th day of the first month of November, Mrs. Xie Xiuniang, with her eldest son Wang Zheng, under the strict protection of the Zhenfu Department and the Intelligence Department, set out from Yongning City, station by station to inspect all parts of the East Road, everywhere they went, the tide was like thunder, and the people's hearts were excited.
Xie Xiuniang, as Wang Dou's wife, Mrs. Bo, enjoys the same specifications as her husband, the Jingbian Army Guard Battalion, there is a special team of Lu Mi soldiers to guard the general's mansion, when Xie Xiuniang went out on patrol, the top three Lu Mi soldiers with flint hair and several handcuffs pinned to their waists accompanied the guard.
The secret personnel of the Intelligence Department are also widely scattered around the perimeter.
Moreover, the entire East Road, the implementation of a strict and very strict armor protection system, joint protection and joint sitting, one thief, nine families, if not, ten families jointly and supplied, so on the East Road, all kinds of spies want to hide the crowd, it is very difficult.
So all the way around, Xie Xiuniang and his party did not encounter any emergencies.
More importantly, Xie Xiuniang's prestige on the East Road is second only to the general Wang Dou, and in the increasingly fanatical worship tide on the East Road, many people worship Wang Dou's portrait tablet at home, and when worshipping in the morning and evening, Xie Xiuniang also stands aside gently in the portrait.
At this time, although Wang Dou has a lot of wives and concubines, but Liu Qing Liu Ji, butterflies and dragonflies, are just girls in the room, concubines and concubines, naturally they can't get on the stage, and the general's wife room in everyone's hearts is only Xie Xiuniang and Ji Junjiao.
However, Ji Junjiao is beautiful and incomparable, anyone who sees it can't help but be ashamed of herself, and she doesn't like to be close to the people at the bottom, everyone loves her because of Wang Dou, and she loves her and Wu, and she has love in her heart, but it is rare to have a close heart.
Xie Xiuniang is different, although she doesn't care about specific political affairs, but she often leads the wives to participate in the relief of the displaced people, caring for women and children, condolences to widows and widows, lonely and sick, often going deep into the fields, factory workshops, among the people, especially female children, is very famous, known as a loving mother.
Because she doesn't care about the shogunate's political affairs, she only cares about charity, which has also become one of Xie Xiuniang's advantages.
It is an outsider, etc., there are officials and generals who have heard of Xie Xiuniang's reputation, and they have to praise loudly, Mrs. Yan Bo is sympathetic to the people, loves the lonely and weak, and the title of the mother of the East Road is really worthy of the name, at most sour and said privately, this woman will really invite her husband to buy people's hearts and so on.
On the surface, they dare not openly criticize it.
In Xuanfu Town and outside the town, Xie Xiuniang's portrait even flowed out, and in some people's homes, they worshiped side by side with the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Xie Xiuniang's weak appearance has also become one of her advantages, in the hearts of the people on the East Road, the general Wang Dou, has a good reputation in the territory, like an optimus pillar, a word is majestic, majesty is majesty, can't help but be in awe, Xie Xiuniang is gentle and generous, everyone wants to come up, talk to her, Lala is homely.
Her weak body also arouses the protective feelings in the hearts of many people, just like a gentle and virtuous woman who is more intimate than a tough woman.
She doesn't need to care or show her majesty, she just needs to be merciful to the people, and before she knows it, she has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
“…… Whether it is sorrow or joy, sorrow or sorrow, happiness and pain, the great general and the concubine, they are all with you......"
Xie Xiuniang's simple words greatly calmed the panicked hearts of the soldiers and civilians everywhere, and they cheered at Xie Xiuniang overwhelmingly, shouting at Mrs. Bo.
Everywhere Xie Xiuniang went, they automatically formed a human wall, hoping to put all dangers out of the way.
Not only Xie Xiuniang, Wang Zheng's performance, but also let the army and the people admire, although the young general, but calm demeanor, the future will be a hero, the general has a successor, everyone firmly believes that difficulties are only temporary, all hardships and hardships, can not overwhelm the united East Road army and people.
Everyone is even more angry, the profiteers and traitors are one and the same as the traitorous ministers, and they even rumors attack the great general Wang Dou whom they respect and worship!
Under the overwhelming propaganda of the propaganda department's notices, storytelling, dramas, and even superficial newspapers, they all knew about the affairs in Beijing, and they all listened to it, and they were all filled with righteous indignation, and they knew best how the general was to the court and the people.
Especially in this battle of Liaodong, the Jingbian Army suffered heavy casualties and made great contributions to the country, so who is not chilled by being treated like this?
Looking at all parts of the Ming Dynasty, where can everyone be fed and clothed like East Road? Even if you are a homeless person, you can not starve to death? The traitor framed Zhongliang!
Even if Wang Dou united the armies on the edge of the town to make noise, they still stood firmly on Wang Dou's side, the court was at fault first, and no one else was allowed to resist? In advance, why did the DPRK ignore those rumors, and even add fuel to the flames, allowing the officials to attack?
The generals are right, they are the ones who are wrong!
The public opinion on the East Road was overwhelmed, and there was sadness in the anger, that is, Ma Guoxi, who was a soldier, also issued a statement, angrily denouncing the profiteers, expressing disappointment with the princes of the DPRK and China, saying that as a soldier on the East Road, he would definitely stand aside with the people in the road and deal with the crisis together.
Looking at the public opinion on the East Road, more and more deviating from the trajectory, he is not without sadness in his heart, he has worked with Wang Dou for many years, how can he not know his temper? It can only be smooth, irreversible, the stronger the pressure, the more it rebounds!
If Wang Dou's temper is followed and a pacifying strategy is adopted, after all, the court will work hard to occupy the righteousness, and Wang Dou will not do anything.
Moreover, over the years, Wang Dou has also behaved deferentially, like a sharp knife, born and died for the court, pointing to wherever he goes, hitting and beating, and the people on the East Road also obey Wang Dou.
It's just that this accident, intentionally or unintentionally, smashed the thoughts of many people in the road to be loyal to the monarch and the imperial court, and the hearts of the people on the east road slipped more and more to the side, and he lamented in his heart: "The powerful force of the Ming Dynasty will still be with the court in the future?" ”
Seeing that many people were looking at him more and more hostile to court officials, he felt even more lost.
In recent years, since the East Road began to levy commercial taxes, the court officials of the East Road have shared a lot of profits each, and they have not only acted but also inwardly and become more and more inclined to this group.
They also jumped out one by one to express their positions, that is, Wu Zhi, the governor of Yanqing Prefecture, although he said that he had different political views from Wang Dou, but he also severely reprimanded the traitors who harmed the East Road, and expressed his determination to stand on the side of the people of the East Road.
"Mrs. Hou, Mrs. Hou, Mrs. Hou......"
On November 16, Xie Xiuniang returned from inspection, at this time the news of the Beijing division also came back to the East Road, ending with the general's complete victory, the traitorous ministers were killed or injured or degraded, the general was named the Marquis of Yongning, and the mother was named the Marquis of Marquis, and everyone cheered.
Although Wang Dou is still in Beijing, they believe that this business war will soon come to an end, and the profiteers will return their blood. (To be continued.) )
