Li Dingguo's face turned pale, and he changed his temper as a rogue, and when he encountered this kind of dog official, he would have been killed with a knife.Now that I have gone through the vicissitudes of life and gone through the ups and downs, I know that there are injustices in the world, and I am far from ideals, and sometimes anger and destruction are useless, and my temperament has been reined in.Now, Li Dingguo has become the leader of the Western Army and has some city governments, but he is still angry with Ding Kuichu, an old bureaucrat.Qu Shiyun has been in the Ming officialdom for decades, and he is used to seeing this kind of nonsense, so he bowed his hand to Li Dingguo and said: "This official has hated the Tang King, Ding Kuichu will not give this official a good look, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to get the silver, but General Li still has the possibility, but he just needs to prepare a generous gift to Ding Kuichu in private."
At that time, you should be able to get some food!
”Originally, generally speaking, the central government would not allow someone to serve as a senior official of a place for a long time, especially if this kind of governor was a senior official of a locality, most of them were temporarily set up for a certain matter, and they would be immediately recruited back to the central government after the incident, so as not to become a malignant tumor in the separatist locality.However, since the collapse of the Chongzhen Dynasty, the central government has changed several rounds, and it is impossible to control the locality, and the governors of various places have been guarding the localities for a long time, forming their own forces and teams.Since the collapse of the Chongzhen Dynasty, whether it is Hongguang or Zhu Yihai and Zhu Yujian, the status of the legal system is not stable, and there are potential contenders for the throne, and in order to sit on the throne, for the officials and ministers who have formed a force, not only do not dare to mobilize, but to win over and appease, in order to gain the support of local forces and sit firmly on the throne of the emperor.It was under these circumstances that Ding Kuichu served as the governor of Liangguang for more than ten years and formed a great influence in Liangguang.At the beginning, Zhu Yujian was proclaimed emperor in Fujian, and Zhu Yihai was in eastern Zhejiang, both of them were orthodox, and Ding Kuichu, as the governor of Liangguang, stood on the side of the Longwu court, so that Zhu Yujian has always trusted Ding Kuichu and relied on him as a confidant, even if he knew that Ding Kuichu was greedy for money, he didn't care much.This is naturally very clear to Qu Shiyun, who has also served as the governor of Guangxi for many years.Looking for the governor of Liangguang is to spend money and give gifts, Li Dingguo is an outsider and doesn't know very well, while the people in Liangguang know Ding Kuichu's habits.Li Dingguo understood when he heard that he had not received any benefits, so he held it down.In fact, Li Dingguo has encountered this kind of thing before, after Zhang Xianzhong was Zhao'an, for a period of time, he also met such officials, and later these people were slaughtered by Zhang Xianzhong.The collapse of the Chongzhen Dynasty was a natural disaster as well as a man-made disaster, and it was inseparable from the corruption and degeneration of the entire bureaucracy.Li Dingguo nodded, but still gritted his teeth and said: "The Ming Dynasty has such a governor, not the blessing of the emperor and the people."
If he falls into my hands, he will definitely be killed with a knife and eliminate harm for the people!
”Qu Shiyun shook his head helplessly, he still needs to solve the problem of silver, and as an official gentry, Qu Shiyun actually doesn't like the Western Army from Liukou very much in politics, if it weren't for the crisis, he wouldn't take the initiative to contact the Western Army to rescue Guangzhou.At the moment, he didn't talk much with Li Dingguo, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Li Dingguo.Li Dingguo got Qu Shiyun's guidance, returned to the camp, recruited his staff to discuss, and finally took out his family funds and sent the 20,000 taels of silver carried by the army to Ding Kuichu's mansion.The next day, sure enough, someone from the yamen of the governor's palace came, approved the note, and informed Li Dingguo that he could send people to the treasury to receive silver and grain.Li Dingguo was unwilling to be angry, so he asked his subordinate Bai Wenxuan to take the soldiers to receive, and finally Zhu Yuyi promised 50,000 stone of grain and 200,000 taels of silver, and finally only brought back 30,000 stone of grain and 150,000 taels of silver, which was swallowed by the Guangzhou bureaucracy according to the usual practice.Li Dingguo is not a person in the system, and he also knows that the officials of the Ming Dynasty are meager and plucked their feathers, which is a common practice and unspoken rule, but he didn't expect to be so ruthless, and he couldn't help but be furious.…… Guangdong, Chaozhou Prefecture.In the Han Palace, Zhao Ming lay on the rocking chair and took a nap, and the maidservant gently shook the fan on the side.At this time, the Han army was under the city of Guangzhou, trapped for two months, suffering from the hot climate and heavy rains.There were many soldiers, quite tired, and Zhao Ming was also deeply tired.After the western army arrived in the eastern suburbs of Guangzhou, although Zhao Ming was sure that he would defeat Li Dingguo, he didn't want to lose too many men, so he retreated to Chaozhou Mansion and then ordered his soldiers to rest on the spot.However, Zhao Ming did not give up the capture of Guangzhou, but on the one hand, he recuperated and waited for the opportunity, and on the other hand, he sent scouts and meticulous work to hold on to Guangzhou, bribe the officials and generals of Guangzhou, and prepare for the capture of Guangzhou.At this time, Zhao Ming was resting, and Zhang Jiayu came with a letter and a smile on his face.In recent years, Zhao Ming's style of life has become increasingly corrupt, and his physical fitness is not as good as before, but the vigilance of the long-term campaign is still retained.As soon as Zhang Jiayu walked to the edge of the rattan chair, Zhao Ming opened his eyes and looked sideways."
Your Highness!"
Zhang Jiayu made a salute.Zhao Ming sat up and said with a smile: "Zhiyuan, why are you so happy?"
”Zhang Jiayu straightened up, "Your Highness has a clever plan, something really happened in Guangzhou." ”As he spoke, Zhang Jiayu presented a letter to Zhao Ming.Zhao Ming took the letter, took out the letter, opened it to look at it, and couldn't help laughing after a while, "Qu Shiyun has worked hard to save Guangzhou, and he has exhausted his family in Guangxi, but Zhu Yuyi didn't give 100,000 taels of silver?"
If it is a lonely king, what if he gives him 500,000!
”The Han Kingdom was rich, Zhao Ming not only paid sufficient taxes, minted and issued "Zhao Datou" and "Silver Tickets", and after the establishment of the money system, he could invisibly grab money, which can be described as rich.Zhao Ming didn't have back pain when he stood and spoke, and he didn't understand Zhu Yuyi's distress.Zhang Jiayu said: "Li Dingguo came from afar, and Zhu Yuyi only allocated 50,000 grains and 200,000 taels of silver.It is said that the officials of Liangguang were deducted from it, and the Western Army got only half of it. ”"Petty family, corrupt!"
Zhao Ming snorted coldly and put the letter away.Zhang Jiayu suggested: "Your Highness, Zhu Yujian wants to support Zhu Yujian, and previously transported most of the money and grain from the Liangguang Mansion.Now that the treasury of Guangzhou is empty, it will inevitably be stingy with rewards, and the people and horses of various departments are becoming more and more centrifuged, it is a good time for His Highness to send troops and collect Guangzhou!
”Zhao Ming bowed slightly, then shook his head again, "The time is not yet ripe!"
Where are you now, but you can't get a reward, and after a while, people from all over the two Guangzhous will inevitably pupa to Guangzhou, and then eating will be a problem, which is the best time for the lonely king to send troops. ”…… After Guangzhou was besieged, soldiers and horses from all over the two provinces received rescue letters from Guangzhou one after another.In addition to Qu Shiyun, Chen Bangfu and several other Ming troops also dared to come to support, but they were afraid of the Han army and did not dare to get too close to Guangzhou, so they camped and watched from afar.On the contrary, Li Dingguo, who came from Yunnan, directly killed under the city of Guangzhou and forced the Han army back.After many Ming troops learned that the Han army had withdrawn from the siege, they were surprised and became anxious, and hurriedly hurried to Guangzhou.After all, the credit of repelling the Han army, how could it be occupied by an outsider, and the retreat of the Han army had a lot to do with their garrison outside the city.For a time, more than 100,000 Ming troops gathered under the city of Guangzhou, and the grand occasion was unprecedented, and they all wanted to come to get a piece of the pie and share the credit for repelling the Han army.Seeing this, Zhu Yuye was also greatly excited, and took everyone under his command.The two Guangming armies, the Tusi of Guangxi, and the western army of Yunnan and Guizhou gathered in Guangzhou, and the problem came.()
