469 Why give up strength for weakness?(1/2)
On the day Luo Guanlin secretly left Jiangdu, Chang Suining immediately sent a letter to the twelve states of Huainan Province, ordering the governors of each state to arrive in Jiangdu within seven days after receiving the letter to discuss matters, and brought with them the finance and taxation, household registration, and soldiers of the respective states in recent years.
Ordnance, etc. should be detailed.
There is only Jiangning City between Hezhou and Jiangdu. Yunhui, the governor of Hezhou, received the letter from the Jiedushi Envoy the next day. He was very active and asked someone to prepare a whole box of documents that had been sorted out long ago. His eyes were bright and authentic.
: "Leave early tomorrow morning!"
But not everyone is as positive as Yun Hui.
Wuzhou, who had followed Hezhou in response earlier, although their movements were hesitant, after receiving the letter, they were also discussing and planning to go to Jiangdu.
As for the last remaining six states, their attitudes have still not softened——
Among them, Shenzhou and Huangzhou had the most violent reactions. They have always been the most unconvinced and have never concealed their dissatisfaction with Chang Sui Ning.
The governor of Shenzhou directly tore up Chang Suining's letter: "...You want me to go to Jiangdu to discuss the matter? She is a little girl who deserves me to pay homage in person! What a joke!"
And what the other party did was clearly a threat!
Jiangdu wants to reopen the Shipping Department, and the saint has already nodded in agreement. The sea sacrifice ceremony has become known to everyone. Countless merchants and wealthy families in Shenzhou City are also ready to go to Jiangdu City's Shipping Department to ask for permission to go to sea for business, but they fail.
Being politely refused the door - the explanation given was: trade exchanges between Jiangdu and Shenzhou can only be opened after discussions between the two prefectures.
What bullshit is this?
I was originally a male emperor who was in power, but the bad news was that the male emperor lost his heart and the imperial power was shaken. I was happy, but then he turned around and asked me to submit to another man, and he was a big boy of eleven or fourteen years old...
I was actually asked!
These wealthy merchants who have returned from Jiangdu, the more they think about it, the more they sit still - if they are all living in Huainan Road, it would be okay if the small family is suffering, but Jiangdu is now so well-fed that the smell of meat wafts to us
The nose is out, but we can't even get the soup from the mouth, and can only soak in the bitter water... Who can bear the bitterness?
Thinking of the future prospects, the counselor was very excited and immediately asked someone to prepare wine to drink with Mr. Qian.
To Shenzhou's surprise, although Xiao Min was very satisfied with me and there was no time when the seven of them had any disagreements, on this plan to recapture Anzhou, Xiao Min rarely disobeyed my arrangements and did not start any more disputes.
Since Shenzhou rushed to Jingzhou to support Lin Zhi, he has fought several battles with Bian's army, but he only defended and attacked this time.
Recruiting talents, opening workshops, building ships, smelting, developing agriculture, marketing and shipping... military power, money and food, it's a toss-up with or without you!
In the Chinese army's general's tent, Shenzhou was discussing with his generals the confirmation of tomorrow's deployment of troops to Anzhou.
The counselor hurriedly took out the prepared letter and handed it over with both hands.
That is the dilemma of Gwangju, and it is also the situation that the other seven states will soon face.
I have no secret contact with other states. If not, I would have dared to pretend to be deaf and mute until now. It is difficult to speak alone. Facing Bian Chunliang with the strength of one state alone, I am destined to just hit the stone with an egg, and teaming up is an inevitable choice.
If we can use our relationship to knock on doors, it will be more effective to instigate rebellion.
Especially this indifferent yet domineering sentence - [If you want to be the opposite anyway, why sacrifice your weakness for strength?]
At first glance, that suggestion sounds absurd, even outlandish...but it turns out to be very durable when you think about it deeply.
Although nursery rhymes do not have the word "child" in them, they have always been underestimated at the political level. Compared with these poems that are only circulated among officials and scholars, nursery rhymes have a wider coverage and are more effective.
It penetrated into the ordinary people. In that world where information was blocked, it even had no rivals.
Qi is looking forward to me taking a step forward - slowly taking down my wealth and leaving as soon as possible, rushing to Jiangdu to hand over power.
Furthermore, if Luo Guanlin really changes his route to capture Huainan Road, it will relieve the danger of Jingzhou and Gyeonggi, which is not a bad thing.
In the letter, Shao Wenxun encouraged Luo Guanlin to attack the wealthy Huainan Road first, and then attack the capital, while Li Xian was willing to open the small gate of Huainan Road for Luo Guanlin.
"Young general, Governor Li Xian has rebelled. Can you immediately send a message to the saint and inform the Huainan Road Governor?"
The counselor returned to his residence and bowed deeply to the guests in the study: "The matter is done. Thank you Mr. Qian for your advice!"
At all levels, the backlog was full, and finally, led by the old nobles in Yuezhou City, they ended the pressure on the Yuezhou governor.
"So, Bian Chunliang must have no intention of rebelling." The counselor said sternly: "In this case, how can the villain submit to you and rebel with you in the future?"
The counselor smiled and stood up and saluted: "The villain is wise."
When the counselor went out this morning, he heard his youngest son singing a song. I quickly yelled and stopped him before I heard it. However, before I sat back in the sedan chair, while I was lost in thought, I also hummed under control outside my head:
[...The eight frogs outside the pond on the west side are croaking, gnawing mud, and jumping around blindly, indicating they recognize their home...]
If so, the result is unpredictable. Civil strife will inevitably break out first, and then he will be accused of rebellion. By then, Lin Zhichun will naturally lead his troops and then take over power. I am afraid that hundreds of people will choose to open the city gates to welcome him.
It is Jiangdu itself that truly makes all people return home.
That night, the governor of Guangzhou returned home and finally didn't get scolded by his father again.
For this reason, I have made preparations and am just waiting to send out troops tomorrow.
And their spread speed is astonishing, often spreading overnight.
These poems that praised Jiangdu to the sky were blown like flying flowers to the entire Huainan Road, no matter how hard they were stopped.
But secretly I am still waiting to see the feasibility of this matter and have not really made up my mind.
As the detectives entered and exited the tent, Xiao Min placed the secret letter under the oil lamp and watched as the letter was lit with a smile on his lips.
The counselor sighed: "Sir's words are really to the point..."
Before the case, Xiao Min raised his eyebrows after reading the secret letter.
"Not everyone among my subordinates has the same opinion now..." The counselor pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you think the new governor, Bian Chunliang, doesn't have such wolfish ambitions?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Before everything is ready, the troops will leave separately, and Shenzhou will also come out of the tent to breathe.
Even now, I still have a way to get that voice out of my head. Just when I was talking to the governor, I sang it a dozen times in my head...
Xiao Min said "hmm" and raised his hand to signal the detectives to come in.
By this time, all the people's hearts and minds were lost, the troops were overwhelmed, and there was no way to resist at all.
The attitude of the governor of Huangzhou was the same as that of the governor of Yuezhou, and the governor of Huangzhou, who had put Lin Zhichun in front of him, was also facing the same situation at the moment - he had scolded Bian Chunliang successively, and now his head is no less harsh.
There is no future career in books that scholars yearn for, no peace and stability that the rich and powerful yearn for, no fertile soil for prosperous industry and commerce that merchants yearn for, and no living and working in peace and contentment that ordinary people yearn for.
The governor of Guangzhou was completely shaken.
Bian Chunliang, who was far away in Jiangdu, sneezed and the lights flickered.
Mr. Qian declined: "It will be too late to meet again when we meet in Japan and Jiangsu."
Even the shipping department, the workshops and businesses that are now emerging in Jiangdu, and the small business routes, there are no signs of opening up to Lin Zhi.
The counselor took the opportunity to explain the pros and cons: "What kind of friendship does the villain have with these people? And we say we want to start an uprising, but we don't have much confidence or chance of winning?"
Of course, I will do everything. I have sworn to the saint that I will regain Anzhou this month.
Look at the regular envoys who have not prepared military power, money or food...how solid and reliable they are.
This made Shenzhou feel relieved, but also vaguely felt strange, so he repeatedly confirmed tomorrow's battle plan.
"Originally, we were going to oppose it..." Guangzhou Governor's voice was high, but his tone was not so firm.
"Sir, of course he will harm you..." The governor of Guangzhou sat back in his chair and sighed: "But if you are asked to consider a grown man as your master... you will feel uncomfortable in your heart."
Such a gesture simply killed the confrontation.
Xiao Yue was undecided, so he lost his mood and joked: "It seems like I got some guidance from some god."
We have never made a statement, but taking a stand is already a statement, and there are not many voices secretly adding fuel to the fire. The eight little words "definitely surrender to Jiangdu" were slapped on our foreheads as a matter of course.
"It's just a poem..." A counselor under the governor of Guangzhou sighed: "The next hundred poems are gone."
The governor of Gwangju, who had been scolded by the people and even his own father recently, couldn't help but feel moved when he heard that.
Shen Zhou held the consecrated copper plate and said as if relieved: "May General Ning Yuan bless your army with a small victory in this battle..."
Looking at the frown of the governor of Guangzhou, the counselor said: "With the current situation in each state, as long as the officials intend to stay in that land, they can listen to and ask questions about those voices."
The governor of Guangzhou smiled bitterly when he heard this: "It's true that what you said today...every word of it touched your heart, and it completely explained your decision to name me."
I still have to think about those words for others, but the young counselor who followed me is the person I trust the most - I can secure the young man's position as the governor of Gwangju, and this man has no small contribution.
I was just ordered to defend Jingzhou and kill Luo Guanlin... Li Xian returned to the jurisdiction of Huainan Road, and it has nothing to do with me?
The counselor just stroked his beard and smiled.
The governor of Guangzhou chuckled: "It's a matter of public appearances!"
"Let people get ready..." Guangzhou Governor said: "Go to Jiangdu and see for yourself what the new Jiedushi, who is rumored to be magical, is like."
That night, in Jingzhou City, a scout returned to camp and brought back a secret report: "Young general, you have intercepted a secret letter sent from Li Xian to Anzhou... Li Xian secretly wanted to collude with Luo Guanlin, the assassin of Shao Wenxun.
Get started!"
Unless we fundamentally intend to stay in the state capital for a long time, we can raise our troops as soon as possible and join the struggle for hegemony——
That is the core of Chang Sui Ning’s praise for this trip.
Moreover, if you have no military merit, no fame, and the ability to convince the public, if you really submit to you, you will still be scolded in the spine by the people——
That sentence touches on the crux of the matter.
And these news coming from Jiangdu are very "bewitching" people's hearts. Now the entire Huainan Road knows that Jiangdu is prosperous and living and working in peace and contentment. From the scholars to the common people, they are all eager to adopt Jiangdu's new policy.
Chang Sui Ning, who covered his face with half a mask, nodded slightly: "This is a blessing for the people of Gwangju."
