Chapter 716: Wang Meng's Worries

Seeing that Wang Meng was about to leave Chang'an and go to Yecheng, and asked them to collect illegal evidence from the officials sent by the imperial court, the two confidant generals glanced at each other, and they were a little surprised in their hearts

"The general can rest assured, the officials sent by the imperial court this time have blatantly embezzled the land property of the people, and even the land property of the generals in the army will not let go, and it is not difficult to find out their illegal crimes at all." A henchman general hugs his fists.

Another general frowned and said: "General, if you leave Chang'an suddenly this time, our army will be leaderless, if the Hu people from the north go south, or if these court officials stretch their hands into the army, how should we deal with it." ”

Wang Meng closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and said: "The northern Hu people have been going south for many years, all in the autumn and winter, and now it is the height of summer, the crops are not yet ripe, they should not go south, besides, these Hu people have repeatedly defeated our army, and their liver and gallbladder have been broken, if they really go south, you just need to guard the city, and you will not delay too much time in Yecheng, as for these officials sent by the imperial court, you don't have to worry too much, you have a large army in your hands, and they will not rashly stretch their hands into the army before gaining a foothold." ”

"General, if these officials want to attack our generals in the army, how should we deal with them, and can we ......?" said one of the generals, who suddenly stopped talking.

Wang Meng naturally understood what the generals meant, but at this moment, the officials sent by the imperial court were all civilian officials, and they should have no intention of controlling the army, at least not yet.

"The people sent by the imperial court are all civil officials, so you don't have to worry too much about it, in case something like this happens. You have the right to arbitrarily choose for yourself! Wang Meng whispered.

When Wang Meng said this, he neither agreed nor objected, but he implied that his subordinates could resist.

"The last will understand." The two henchmen responded with their fists clenched, and then withdrew from the Chinese army's tent.

Seeing that the two henchmen were about to withdraw from the big tent of the Chinese army, Wang Meng continued to pace in the big tent, he was a rich man with five cars. And people with great ambitions. He hoped that through his own efforts, he could assist Ming Jun to unify the world, so that the people of the world could live a peaceful and stable life.

But for so many years, he has not met Mingjun who is particularly satisfactory to him. The emperor of the Jin Kingdom was only a few years old. And the power of the imperial court was controlled by the scholars. A poor child like him, who was not from a noble background, could not make achievements in the court of the Great Jin Dynasty at all, let alone influence the government of the Great Jin Dynasty. To realize his ambition, several monarchs of the Central Plains are all brutal monarchs, Shi Hu kills Chengxing, Shi Zun, Shi Jian, Shi Yuan and others are no different from Shi Hu, they are also brutal, Ran Min wantonly slaughtered the Hu people, which can be regarded as revenge, but it also made Wang Meng see the killing nature of his body, and put him in the same category as Shi Hu and others, the Xianbei Murong Jun can be regarded as a male lord, but this person is very suspicious, and firmly controls the power in his hands, and will not let his courtiers have the opportunity to let go of their hands and feet. Therefore, Wang Meng can't be fascinated by it, as for Tuoba Shiyijian, Zhang Chonghua and others, Wang Meng can't look down on them even more.

However, life is short, and since Wang Meng has learned to be rich and rich, he will not be willing to stay in the depths of Huashan for the rest of his life, so as to become a hermit.

For this reason, when Hua'an recruits talents, he will personally go to apply for the job and observe Hua'an's temperament and ability.

Although Hua'an's identity is a general of the Great Jin Dynasty and does not meet Wang Meng's requirements, Hua'an's mentality and humble attitude towards others still make Wang Meng quite satisfied.

There is no perfect thing in the world, and it is naturally difficult to find a perfect monarch, so after some careful consideration, Wang Meng was still determined to join Hua'an, and immediately proposed to Hua'an a number of proposals for governing Guanzhong.

Hua'an naturally believed in Wang Meng's ability, so he continued to promote Wang Meng, and after the troops left Tongguan, he entrusted Wang Meng with full authority to handle all the affairs of Guanzhong Yongqin and Qinzhou, thus giving Wang Meng greater rights.

During the period of governing Guanzhong, Wang Meng not only greatly improved the agriculture and commerce of Guanzhong, but also made achievements in the military field, improved the equipment of the army, and repeatedly repelled and severely damaged the Hu cavalry who invaded Guanzhong, which greatly thwarted the Hu people's ambition to covet Guanzhong's products.

Seeing that the development of Guanzhong is getting better and better, Wang Meng is very satisfied, and has a feeling of small achievement, but the imperial court sent a large number of officials into Guanzhong, completely disrupting the political order in Guanzhong, and let Wang Meng's hard work go to waste step by step, which made Wang Meng's heart ache.

Wang Meng knew very well in his heart that the reason why these noble children came to Guanzhong thousands of miles away was because of the rich products in Guanzhong, after all, the fields in the south of the Yangtze River had been almost annexed, and they could not get more benefits, but the fields in Guanzhong had a lot of oil and water to be fished, and the imperial court would naturally allow them to annex the land of the common people in order to envelop these noble children and make them loyal to the imperial court, and then use these scholars and officials as minions to gradually control the Guanzhong region.

The annexation of land will inevitably lead to the loss of a large number of ordinary people's land, so that the gap between the rich and the poor will gradually widen, bring great hidden dangers to social security, and eventually make the economy of Guanzhong develop in an unfavorable direction.

Now, not long after these scholars entered Guanzhong, they colluded with some of the Guanzhong clans to completely destroy Wang Meng's ban and carry out large-scale annexation of the fields in Guanzhong in order to obtain the most land in the shortest possible time.

It's only been just over half a month, and Guanzhong has been tossed by the chickens and dogs, if it has been so tossed, within half a year, Wang Meng's hard-working Guanzhong will return to the front of governance, and the people will return to the dire situation.

Faced with such a situation, Wang Meng was very anxious, he knew that the most important purpose of the imperial court was to weaken Hua'an's influence on Guanzhong, so as to weaken Hua'an's strength step by step and stabilize the rule of the Great Jin Dynasty.

However, Wang Meng believes that in order to stabilize its own rule, the Great Jin Dynasty court reused and indulged the officials of the scholar clan and ignored the interests of the common people, which is very wrong and stupid, you must know that the common people are the foundation of a country, if the interests of the common people are not effectively guaranteed, and the gap between the rich and the poor continues to widen, it will be difficult for a country to survive for a long time, and it is even more impossible to recover the land occupied by foreign enemies.

Moreover, in the process of annexing land, these scholars and officials adopted a posture of chasing after each other, not only annexing the fields of poor peasants, but also not sparing the fields of the officers and men of the army, which would greatly shake the morale of the front-line army and greatly reduce the morale of the soldiers, and if they encountered a large-scale attack by the enemy, the consequences would be unimaginable.

For this reason, after thinking about it, Wang Meng decided to leave Chang'an City and go to the direction of Yecheng, first observing the shape of Yecheng direction, and then making a final decision according to the specific shape of the shì.

After a day's preparations, Wang Meng selected a hundred excellent personal soldiers, carried enough fine and soft, left Chang'an City, and ran in the direction of Yecheng by the nearest road.

In order to arrive in Yecheng as soon as possible, Wang Meng did not take a carriage, but like the guards and his own soldiers, they all rode on horseback, and rarely stopped on the way.

The reason why Wang Meng marched so eagerly was to rush to the army as much as possible after the front-line generals learned that the land property had been plundered, so as to stabilize the shape of the army, so as to avoid dissipating the morale of the army because of this incident, which would affect the combat effectiveness of the army and give the Yan army a chance.

In the Hebei direction, Wang Meng's worries were confirmed, and in Linxi, Linshui, and Yecheng, the soldiers successively learned that their fields were confiscated by the imperial court, and there was great indignation, and the morale of the army was greatly shaken.

In the big tent of the Chinese army in Linshui City, Chen Poyu, Chen Zhanhu and dozens of generals under his command all gathered in the big tent to discuss countermeasures.

Among these generals, most of the generals and colonels with positions below the military lord have had their fields confiscated by the imperial court, and the generals above the military lord have not yet had their fields occupied, but they do not feel happy, because although they are high-ranking generals, if the interests of their subordinates are violated, they will not agree, after all, once the morale of the army is weakened, these generals are also powerless to control the situation.

"General, these days, the generals and soldiers in the army continue to receive letters from home, the imperial court sent a large number of officials, confiscated the fields that General Hua rewarded the soldiers, and some of the new fields cultivated by the soldiers' families were also confiscated by the imperial court. A lieutenant said with his fists clenched.

"What, there are actually deserters, severely punished, deserters must be severely punished, otherwise, more and more soldiers will follow suit." Chen Poyu said loudly.

"Big brother, by all means, now the soldiers are already resentful, if the deserters are severely punished, I am afraid that it will cause a mutiny." Chen Zhihu objected loudly.

Chen Poyu naturally understood that the soldiers' fields were encroached upon, and he was resentful, but desertion was a very strict mistake, if it was not punished, more soldiers would definitely become deserters, and if this happened, the consequences would be very strict.

"General Qiyu, sixteen deserters, all have been captured." At this moment, a small colonel entered the big tent and reported with his fists clenched.

Chen Poyu nodded and asked loudly, "Have you been tried?" What did they do to escape the barracks? ”

"General Hui, these sixteen soldiers are the soldiers of the reserve regiment, and they have often made mistakes in the past, there are several soldiers, and they have also stolen the property of the common people and have been beaten." The school replied truthfully. (To be continued......)
