Chapter 338: Killing Two Birds with One Stone

The matter of Xuanfu Town East Road finally reached the ears of Emperor Taiji of Shengjing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 After Wang Dou's purge, the local fine intelligence agency was smashed. Their Qing country also lacked a source of smuggling of goods.

Huang Taiji is only a pity that it will be more difficult to detect Wang Dou in the future, and as for the small smuggling channel, he has no regrets. On the nine sides of the Ming Kingdom, there are more people who are interested in the Qing Dynasty, and there is less of one East Road, which does not affect the overall situation.

What shocked him was Wang Dou's methods, cutting through the chaos with a quick knife, mastering the whole East Road so quickly, and making him affirm his evaluation of Wang Dou in Pinggu at that time: "Wang Dou is a person who really has the ambition to be a hero." ”

Wang Dou controls the East Road, and his future power will be greater, and in the hands of this person after the Qing Dynasty, I don't know how much hardship he will have to suffer, how much blood he will shed, and he will be a difficult opponent.

At this time, the Mongolian tribes outside the eastern road were mainly the Tumut right-wing banner in the Qing Dynasty, and part of the Karaqin tribe. In the war in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, most of them fought with Wang Dou, and their hearts were frightened, and they were afraid like tigers, which can be used to describe them.

After Wang Dou entered the East Road, they had already asked Sheng Jing for help, hoping that Huang Taiji would increase his forces in the grassland to prevent Wang Dou's possible attacks outside the fortress in the future. After getting the news that Wang Dou had gone on a killing spree on the East Road and cleared out a lot of traders and merchants with them, many timid tribes had moved day after day, trying to stay away from the East Road City.

Not to mention this series of reactions from the outside world, a few days after Wang Dou's suppression, Han Chao, who was far away in Laishui, hurried to Yongning City.

Seeing his silent expression, Wang Dou can understand his mood, Han Chao is emotionally discernmentary, it is very likely that Wan Meier is his first love, and the taste of first love is always unforgettable.

Moreover, Han and North Korea may have felt guilty in their hearts, thinking that if it weren't for their own reasons, Wan Mei'er might not have defected to the enemy and betrayed the country.

Although Wang Dou thinks that the relationship between this is purely incompatible with the eight poles of the Korean Dynasty, it is still necessary to enlighten him when he sees the gloomy expression of the Korean Dynasty.

In response to everyone's consolation, Han Chao was silent and asked in a daze: "General, Wan Mei'er...... How will it be handled? ”

Chi Dacheng, the calmer next to him, said coldly: "Wan Mei'er is a tiger and a slave, and she is willing to work carefully for Dongnu, even if she is handed over to Yousi, according to the law, she should also be executed by Ling Chi." ”

Han Chao trembled and saluted Wang Dou: "General, the last general wants to see her"

Wang Dou glanced at him and nodded, everything that should be confessed has been explained, through the interrogation of Wan Mei'er, Zeng Fuyang everyone, the intelligence department has also dug up a large number of hidden Qing spies on the East Road, that is, the whole army has not been wiped out, and it is also a great injury to the vitality, and it is difficult to do anything in a short time.

All the confessions have been recorded, and Wan Meier is just waiting for the final processing.

When Wang Dou saw Han Chao again, he looked dull, and there was some blood on his hands.

Xie Yike came to Wang Dou's side and whispered a few words to him, Wang Dou nodded, signaling that he knew, and soon after, Chi Dacheng came angrily and saluted Wang Dou: "General, Han Shoubei executed Wan Mei'er privately, and the next official asked Han Shoubei to be punished." ”

Han Chao knelt in front of Wang Dou without saying a word, Wang Dou shook his head, as early as when Han Chao invited Wan Mei'er, Wang Dou guessed his intentions. After all, she was the beloved woman in the past, and she gave her a good time when she visited the prison, and she didn't want her to suffer from Ling Chi.

Seeing Han Chao's dejected appearance, Wang Dou sighed and said: "Han Chao executed the traitor privately, demoted the official to one level, and guarded Laishui County. Wan Mei'er's daughter...... He said that he could not resist the punishment and died on the spot. ”

Han Chao whimpered, "General Xie." ”

Gao Shiyin muttered, "Is a mere woman worthy of this?" ”

Han Chao didn't know how long he cried, but when he got up, he returned to his former calmness, presumably this psychological threshold had passed.

Wang Dou asked him about Laishui, and as early as March, Han Chao led a force to Laishui. Although its troops are less than 1,000 people, with the combat effectiveness of the Shunxiang Army, this unit is more than enough to prosper and be prosperous.

According to Wang Dou's relevant information, as well as the official letters sent by the officials of the Suppression Department who were located next to Han Chao every month, they welcomed the military strength of Han Chao, whether it was the local gentry or the military households. After all, the Shunxiang army has strict discipline and will never disturb the people, and the combat power of the department is outstanding, and it has also deterred the extinction of bandits and bandits in the territory.

The military rations of the Han Dynasty and other departments were supplied by Wang Dou, and there was no need to collect them from the local people, which reduced the burden on the local people, and the task of the Han Dynasty did not need to organize any military and civilian land reclamation, but only needed to provide a good environment, and naturally a large number of people were willing to move in, resulting in prosperity in the territory. ,

The magistrate of Laishui County has won a reputation of "outstanding governance". Since there is no conflict of interest with the local gentry, and the ministry can protect the territory and the people, the Korean and Korean First Division can be called a model of peace between the military and the people in Laishui County.

Many people are trying their best to win over this army, and Yang Wenyue, the newly appointed governor of Baoding, has repeatedly shown favor to the Han Dynasty and intends to accept the Han Dynasty as his confidant.

According to the information he obtained, although there were many "sugar-coated shells", Han Chao's loyalty to himself and his loyalty to the Shunxiang Army did not change in the slightest, which made Wang Dou secretly relieved, and he was indeed the first brother to follow him, and he was able to resist all kinds of temptations.

Of course, the families of the Shunxiang army in other towns are all on the East Road, and their material supply is also in charge of Wang Dou, which is also one of the important reasons to ensure their loyalty.

Han 1510 told his experience in Laishui for several months, and he said: "The last general has already controlled all the important places in Laishui, and he has also made friends with Bauhinia Pass and Yizhou. ”

He groaned for a while and said: "The East Road is now a big Xingtundi, and in the past few months, more and more people have flowed into Laishui, can you imitate the East Road in Laishui?" ”

Wang Dou said: "No need, Han Shibei only needs to guard the territory, control the important places, and make friends with the officials and generals everywhere. ”

Wang Dou's idea, in addition to the local area on the East Road, in the future, when the officials and generals go out of the town, they will control the important places, make friends with the local gentry and officials, and protect the peace and tranquility in the territory.

In this way, the strong resistance of the local gentry can be reduced, and it is like rolling snow, so that more and more of the Ming Dynasty will fall into their own hands, and they will have a lot of power in the future.

Merchants and students in almost every city were controlled. On the hat of the Qing Dynasty's spies and the enemy, many people are extremely afraid.

After Wang Dou and the military affairs Ma Guoxi jointly reported the official document, the treatment of these people also began, Wang Dou's principle is that Donglu Hao is strong, these people are not bought by the Qing State as spies, and most of them are also involved in smuggling.

After all, it is impossible to go outside the Saisai without a certain amount of net worth, only the local heroes have this ability, and this strong and strong have close ties with the local officials and military leaders, especially the businessmen under the names of Zhang Wanshan, Chen Enzhong, and Song Jiaxuan, and they have monopolized most of the industries on the East Road.

These people must be uprooted, there are still some local gentry and wealthy families to deal with, and the remaining some scholars and merchants, although there are tax evasion, transfer of acres of taxes and other evil deeds, when looking at the current situation in the Ming Dynasty, this crime is "mild" again, and it belongs to the object that can be fought for.

Especially this time, the class is in the market, and the merchant students are coerced, and these people can also be used for their own purposes, and for those merchants, find out that these people did not participate in the journey and collaborate with the enemy, and after a series of fines for their net worth, they will be given freedom, and the wealthy squires will be fined, and they will also be given freedom, and the crimes on these people's heads will be canceled.

For the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, these people were overjoyed, and when they heard that the General's Mansion had forgiven their crimes, canceled the hats of Jian Xi and the enemy, and released them on the spot, many people were crying. They knelt down in front of the general's palace and thanked General Dingguo for his kindness.

Wang Dou also made a decision to suppress some businessmen and students who were killed and injured that day, and those who did not belong to Haoqiang, were also given a certain amount of bereavement, and no longer prosecuted for their crimes.

Later, most of these scholars and students entered the shogunate or tunbao as scribes, Wang Dou was surprised to find that these people were more attentive and loyal than the advanced, and if there was any public opinion war in the future, they were also full of anger, and they rushed to the front line in the first wave with their lives, and fought bravely for Wang Dou with a pen.

It seems that after the thunderbolt on the 20th, the number of literati who rushed to the east road also increased, providing much-needed scribe talents for the establishment of Wangdou Getun Fort. ,

On the first day of August in the twelfth year of Chongzhen, the town, the governor's mansion, and all parts of the capital were still studying how to deal with the affairs of the East Road. The Dingguo General's Mansion and the Military Reserve Mansion have jointly issued a proclamation to gather all the gentry and merchants on the East Road (except for the convicted Haoqiang) to discuss affairs and study the governance of the East Road.

As soon as Wang Dou's thunderbolt method passed, he summoned his own people to discuss the matter, and the people who received the invitation were all nervous, and they didn't know what General Dingguo would do next?

However, whether it was a merchant or a gentry, after receiving the notice, they all quickly converged into Yongning City. Huailai, Yongning, Yanqing, Baozhou Wei Zhuzhu businessmen gathered, and even many foreign businessmen came, Yongning City was bustling, and all kinds of accents converged.

The voices of acquaintances greeting each other continued, and many people inquired about each other, waiting for the general's palace to deliberate, what would it be?

At this time, in the watchtower of the General's Mansion, Wang Dou looked at the cloudy businessmen and gentry on the street and pondered, there were so many businessmen and gentry who came to Yongning, and it was beyond his expectations, it seemed that he did not invite so many people, so it can be seen that the literati and businessmen in the late Ming Dynasty were actually a group of white-eyed wolves with milk and mothers. In this way, the more people participate, the better the East Road will be governed in the future.

The stick itself has been beaten, and it is time to give carrots and give them a certain way to make money, so that these gentry and merchants can be of the same mind as themselves, and they can strengthen their management, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
