"These useless things!""
I really don't know how his ancestors could have given birth to such waste."
Li Changgeng didn't scold such words, but he felt like this in his heart.And Li Changgeng also directly pulled out the sword on his body after Tang Guozuo said it, and directly put the blade on Tang Guozuo's shoulder: "Lingbi Hou, if you are here to persuade the rebels to surrender to the old man, don't blame the old man for cutting you first!"
”Tang Guozuo's whole person was stunned.The other nobles were also stunned.Li Changgeng then said: "What are you afraid of!
These rebels are just a group of rabble, now you want to surrender, aren't you afraid that the court will settle accounts in the future, not to mention that you will still receive the favor of the country, whoever is mentioning surrender, the old man will slaughter whom!
”As he spoke, Li Changgeng shouted to Yang Zhaoji and said, "Admiral Yang, you lead your family to supervise the battle team and continue to supervise the battle!"
Whoever dares to cowardly the enemy will be killed!
”Li Changgeng asked Gu Mingjiao as he spoke: "Marquis Zhenyuan, you are a garrison, do you have any objections?"
”Gu Mingjiao smiled awkwardly: "No objection!"
”......
"Everyone!
Ladies and gentlemen!
Why are we raising troops?
It is to clear the side of the monarch and resist the cruelty of the traitors in the court to the gentry!
But now, what are we doing, we are also cruel to the gentry, is this the way we want to raise troops?!
Yes!
”At the rebel "round table" organized by Xiao Jingao, Cheng Jike, a gentry involved in the rebellion, began to express his dissatisfaction with the rebels' harsh treatment of gentry who did not support his army.And the other gentry therefore argued with reason, saying that these gentry were foolish and deserved to be plundered.There are also sensible gentry who say that there is no way to do this, that the army needs money to expand, and the common people do not have much money, so they can only rob the gentry who rebel with them.This kind of "round table" allowed all kinds of voices to be expressed, but no one could convince anyone for a while.In the end, it was Xiao Jingao who personally slapped the table and yelled "enough" loudly, and these gentry who followed the rebellion quieted down and looked at Xiao Jingao, who was like the backbone of the main heart.Xiao Jingao glared at these people and said: "Now we can only see whether the civil and military officials and nobles in the inner city of Nanjing are willing to surrender, if they are willing, we can recruit troops and buy horses just by relying on the treasury and silver and grain stored in the inner city of Nanjing, and if we can't do it, we can copy the rich nobles in the city, saying that they are also traitorous ministers, so that even if we offend the nobles of many forces in the world, we don't have to offend those gentry who do not support us!"
”After Xiao Jingao said this, he asked Xu Ze: "What did Li Changgeng say, are they willing to open the city and surrender?"
”Xu Ze shook his head: "Li Changgeng said that unless everyone in the inner city dies, he will not order the opening of the city!"
”After hearing this, Xiao Jingao slammed his fist on the desk, gritted his teeth, looked at the other gentry who followed the rebellion and said: "Now it seems that we can only continue to raid the homes of those gentry who oppose us, only in this way can we have more money and food to recruit troops and horses, unless you are willing to take out all your family wealth!"
Or give the land to the tenants as a means of enticing more tenants to join us in the rebellion. ”"My Xu family has already taken out the family's savings to recruit Xiangyong, but I really can't take it out!
Let's go ahead and raid the homes of the gentry who oppose us, who makes them so ignorant!
”"That's right, my family's fields are all left by my ancestors, so why should I give them to those tenants like this!
It's better to continue copying those gentry who don't deal with us!
”"This is reasonable, since those people in the inner city of Nanjing refuse to surrender, and if we attack it, the loss will not be light, then that's it, anyway, those gentry who refuse to raise troops with us can be regarded as colluding with the traitors in the court, weak and incompetent, and the scum of Shilin will also be copied!"
…… These gentry who participated in the rebellion basically insisted that they would rather not copy the homes of the gentry who rebelled with them than take out more money, grain and land to recruit troops and horses, so Xiao Jingao could only agree.Therefore, Xiao Jingao continued to advance in the direction of Zhejiang with these rebels, and frantically plundered the gentry and people along the way, which was quite unpopular.At this time, many Jiangnan scholars began to miss the era of Zhu Youxiao before the rebels would raise troops, after all, although the taxes were stricter and the income was less, the world was at least still peaceful.......
"Emperor Qiqi, Dongchang came to report that the inner city of Nanjing has not yet fallen, and the rebels have tried to attack several times, but they have been beaten back by Li Changgeng and Yang Zhaoji!"
The main force of the rebels has already attacked Liyang, and Guo Hongxun, the prefect of Liyang, mobilized the army and civilians to hold on, and also repelled the rebels, and the rebels now have to turn to attack other states and counties. ”On this day, Wei Zhongxian reported the latest information to Zhu Youxiao.After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao hurriedly said: "Very good!
How is the capital now?
”Wei Zhongxian hurriedly reported the affairs of Fang Congzhe and Liu Ruoyu in the capital.Zhu Youxiao still nodded, and then asked, "Where is the front?"
”"Zhangjiawan."
Wei Zhongxian replied.Zhu Youxiao hurriedly said: "Then speed up, go to Zhangjiawan and rest, by the way, take a look at my palace, and see what the mansion built by this guy Li Sancai is like!"
”"Yes!"
Wei Zhongxian replied.After Zhu Youxiao arrived in Zhangjiawan, he lived in his own palace.And his palace is Li Sancai's mansion.After Li Sancai committed the crime, the mansion he built with golden silk nanmu was also occupied by Zhu Youxiao, and he ordered to transform it into his palace in Zhangjiawan.During the Ming Dynasty, because Tongzhou Zhangjiawan was the end point of the Grand Canal, commerce was very developed.As soon as Zhu Youxiao arrived in Zhangjiawan, he was shocked by the rows of shops here, and couldn't help but sigh that if he didn't go out of the capital, he really didn't know how prosperous the legendary Zhangjiawan was, and there were so many luxury manors that were not inferior to the Imperial Garden from the outside.And these are things that the DPRK and Chinese officials will not tell him.When Zhu Youxiao lived in his palace, he was even more shocked by the luxury in it, and couldn't help but say: "If you don't come out, I don't know, this Li Sancai is more comfortable than me, the emperor!"
Living here is much more comfortable than my Qianqing Palace. ”Han Yi and Xiong Tingbi didn't say anything, they now look at Zhu Youxiao and have the feeling of looking at a hillbilly.Zhu Youxiao did not stay in the Zhangjiawan Palace for a long time, and the next day, he continued to travel south.In addition to letting the baggage and some personnel of his entourage take the waterway, Zhu Youxiao himself still took the dry road to the south by imperial car, and although he spent a huge amount of money to let the Harbour Administration Bureau build a ship, he was more sensitive to the matter of taking the waterway by boat.Along the way, Zhu Youxiao did not stop, and about a month later, Zhu Youxiao and his southern expeditionary army came to the outside of Yangzhou.However, at this time, the gates of Yangzhou City were closed, and the gentry did not go out to greet them in advance as the local officials he met during the transit between Beizhili and Shandong."
The holy car is coming, why don't you open the city to welcome it!"
