Chapter 245: Determination (I)

The Thirteen Divisions of Jinling, among the officials of the Chu State, are considered to be a name that is like thunder and cannot be mentioned lightly.

Everyone knows that the Thirteen Divisions are in charge of the intelligence of various places, and all the big and small things in the Chu State, all the things that the King of Chu cares about and is interested in, there will be the figures of the Thirteen Divisions, Hundred Households and Fanzi.

They are either officials, businessmen, or landlords, and they are all over the Central Plains, but few people know about the specific institutions.

The chief yamen of the thirteen divisions, but most of the officials know it.

The yamen of the thirteen divisions, this yamen is relatively remote, built in the inner city, the inner city area, there are many pavilions and pavilions that run through, all over the rare huā grass and trees, hugging the thick ancient trees and green crowns and shading ratios.

Therefore, the small hall of the thirteen divisions is not inconspicuous, there is a single courtyard here, there are five spans and seven entrances, and the layout is simple and elegant, waiting for the king to summon at any time.

If it weren't for a set of gold plaques at the door, no one would have been able to see that this was the chief yamen of the thirteen divisions of the Chu State.

Few outsiders can come here, although they have never deliberately prevented people from coming, but because of the influence of the name of the Thirteenth Division, it is very rare for officials who are willing to come to the Thirteenth Division.

At the door of the yamen of the Thirteenth Division, there were two rows of fans, all of them twenty years old, with the yīn coldness unique to intelligence work, pressing a long knife in their hands, and scanning the surroundings.

The high-level office of the thirteenth division is behind the yamen.

On this day, the people in the yamen had just begun to deal with affairs, and the hundred households who were responsible for receiving information received a flying pigeon book, and after reading the contents, the hundred households did not dare to delay at all, and hurriedly handed over the news to the right hand of Jiang Xiao, a thousand households sitting here.

Jiang Xiaofang is only twenty-seven this year, his parents died when he was a child, and he was taken into slavery by the Wang family.

once had a wife, now deceased, married a new fù, has a son and a daughter under his knees, and has a clean net worth, and Jiang Xiaofang is cautious, introverted, and well-behaved, and after being promoted to the position of a thousand households by Wang Hongyi, he is even more loyal.

Unfolded and read the content, Qianhu Jiang Xiaofang couldn't sit still anymore, got up and walked out of the room.

"I'm going to go to the palace at once. And you two go out with me. , Jiang Xiaofang said, asked people to find official clothes for themselves, put them on, and pointed out two fans to go out with him.

Soon ready, Jiang Xiaofang said to the two, "Let's go!"

"No!"

At this time, it is the hot and humid weather outside, although the hall is empty, it is inevitable that the heat is pervasive, but in the big basin placed in the corner, there are ice cubes, exuding bursts of cold air, so that the temperature in the hall has dropped a lot.

In the study, there are also two basins of ice, and it doesn't look stuffy inside.

The decoration is quite elegant, with calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, and bookshelves on the left and right, on which many rare books are placed.

A large desk was placed inside, and several stacks of folds were placed on the table at this time.

These all need to be reviewed by Wang Hongyi.

Wang Hongyi, who was sitting in front of the desk in only light clothes, had sweat coming out of his forehead from time to time, and whenever this happened, an inner shì would come over and hand him a wet towel.

After wiping two handfuls on his forehead and his cheeks, he only felt that his pores were as cool as they were opened, Wang Hongyi handed the towel back to Neishì, and asked without raising his head: "What time is it?"

"Your Majesty, it's three quarters of the hour. Neishì bent down slightly and replied softly.

"Use the afternoon crisp here, let the stove make two light ones. It's a hot and humid day, so you don't have to overdo it. , while reviewing the folds, Wang Hongyi commanded.

"The minister understood, and the minister went to talk to them. , Nei shì heard it, and said busily.

Hongyi was busy at this time, and he sighed, and continued to review the recitals on the table without raising his head.

Not daring to disturb the King of Chu anymore, this Neishì cautiously retreated.

He was the one who served here, and he would not run to give orders by himself, and when he went out of the temple gate, he saw a big girl waiting.

The palace maids are divided into rough envoys, small girls, and big girls.

Then go up is from the nine products "long memory", said from the nine products of the long record, there is something to do, so the service is the big girl, this big girl is very pretty, standing outside the door.

This Nei shì naturally understood the intention of these women to work hard to be on an errand here, and he had never had a good impression of this kind of restless woman, and when he saw that he was standing in the shade of a tree to escape the heat, he waved at each other and called over.

"Since you're okay here, go and give an order. , this Neishì repeated the order of the king of Chu, and advised: "You go and talk to them, be quick, don't miss the hour." ,“... The eldest girl hurriedly ran away, looking at her figure running away, Neishì shook her head and turned around.

Just as he was about to enter, he saw someone hurrying towards him.

The person who came, he knew, was Jiang Xiaofang, a thousand households from the Thirteenth Division who often came here.

Seeing him coming over in a hurry, he knew that he was probably asking to see the king, so he stopped and waited.

After a while, Jiang Xiaofang came to him.

Jiang Xiaofang knew this inner shì, and as soon as he came to the inner shì, he arched his hand and said politely: "It turned out to be Chang Gonggong, I don't know if the king can be inside?"

Chang Gonggong is an official who lives in the eighth grade, and he is a eunuch of the highest grade, so he should not be neglected.

"The king is inside, but Master Jiang has something important to see the king? , "Please also ask Father-in-law Chang to report for Jiang, Jiang does have something important to see the king." ”

Seeing this, Nei shì nodded and said, "Since this is the case, please wait here for a while." , Jiang Xiaofang arched his hand and said: "It's hard work." , Nei shì no longer said, entered the temple.

"Someone asking to see?" faintly hearing the voice outside, Wang Hongyi folded another reviewed piece of music on a stack of documents that had been processed, raised his head, glanced at the person in front of him, and asked, "Who is outside?"

"Your Majesty, Jiang Xiaofang, a thousand households of the Thirteen Divisions, asks to see you!" said Nei Shiyu respectfully.

"Jiang Xiaofang?" The movement in his hand paused, the people of the Thirteenth Division would never come for trivial matters, Wang Hongyi said without thinking: "Let him come in!"

went out, and after a while, Jiang Xiaofang walked in from outside.

When he came to Wang Hongyi's case, he knelt on the ground and shouted: "Minister Jiang Xiaofang, meet the king!"

"Jiang Qing, don't be polite. , "Xie Wangshang." After thanking him again, Jiang Xiaofang stood up.

"Jiang Qing is here to come, but there is something to report to Gu Yu?" Wang Hongyi put the pen in his hand aside, looked at the person in front of him and said.

"Wang, the minister has just received a message from the flying pigeon, Youzhou is in chaos, Hu people 70,000 horsemen invaded Youzhou, first broke the slag mountain, slaughtered 40,000 mouths of the city, and captured Yuyang County. , "Now attacking Beiwu City, Beiwu Jiedu made Lu Gao defend the city, and the Hu people drove 100,000 people who surrendered in Zhayang County to attack the city, and most of them were shot, and the city was full of corpses and a sea of blood!"

"This is a letterhead sent back by the people of the Thirteen Divisions in Youzhou, please read it by the king. As he spoke, he took out the letterhead and held it high.

Neishì hurriedly walked over, took the letterhead into his hand, and handed it over to Wang Hongyi's hands.

Wang Hongyi was shocked when he heard Jiang Xiaofang's reply, and when he saw the above content, his face sank.

It's really on the letterhead, the Hu people have invaded on a large scale.

However, before the invasion, it is necessary to drive the people to attack the city, as well as to slaughter the city, which is the means of the previous life.

Although this method is criticized, it can indeed achieve the effect of deterring the enemy, and the impact is far-reaching, causing the nearby Han cities to be terrified of its means and surrender one after another.

Of course, if you consistently slaughter the city, you will be met with desperate resistance.

Secondly, the population is a kind of property, and if the people are killed, there will be no more slaves to drive, and it will be difficult to rebuild and rule the occupied areas in the future.

This is reasonable for predatory warfare, but it is unreasonable for domination.

Obviously, in the early days, the Hu people did not really want to rule the Central Plains, but had the intention of slaughtering the Han people, until they found that the Han people were inexhaustible and the resistance became more and more fierce, so they gradually changed their policy.

However, in the later period, there was a fierce reputation deterrence, and there was a dividing policy of governing the Han with Han people, which led to rapid pacification, which became a dragon spirit and a positive result.

There are many similar examples of taro on earth.

Qin Guo and Xiang Yu had similar situations.

Of course, it is particularly obvious that the Qing Dynasty, in the early stage, slaughtered the Han people, killed the Han people in the northeast, there were millions of people, and in the later period, they were involved in the famous murderous name, and came to appease them, as a result, the Han people surrendered one after another, with 100,000 banners, they ruled hundreds of millions of Han people, and maintained the world for 300 years.

As for the destruction of culture and the infamy that will forever be recorded in history, isn't there a plan to revise the history books!

However, what surprised Wang Hongyi the most at the moment was not this matter, but the time of the Hu invasion had changed.

In the previous life, the time of the Hu invasion was originally two years later, but now it is advanced.

At this time, the princes of the Northland have not yet become a climate, can they resist for a few years as in history?

If not, it will be difficult for the north to gather strength to resist the Hu people, which will inevitably lead to the Hu people to occupy the north at a faster pace.

I still have to speed up the pace of action, and now, there are very few resources that can be predicted.

"Jiang Qing, this information is very timely. Let people continue to pay close attention to the situation in Youzhou, and once there is a change, they will immediately report to Guyu. Also, after receiving the news of the state, it must be reported to Gu Yu immediately. , "No!" Jiang Xiaofang hurriedly responded.

Wang Hongyi's face was solemn, and he said, "You go down first and hand over the information to the Secret Literature Pavilion." , how to play this chess game, and how many resources are still available, we really have to think carefully and take precautions.

Foresight, food, supplies, intelligence, and sailors must be used.

This is a battle of fortune that will determine the history of the next few hundred years or more. @。
