Chapter 39 The so-called loyalty is that the bargaining chips for betrayal are not enough, "Bang, bang......"
Huang Liji was drinking tea, but when he heard the news that Quan Xu led all Zhuang Ding to annihilate more than 400 under the command of Zhou Chu, his hands trembled, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.Half a cup of hot tea was poured on his lap, which made him rub himself to his feet, but after all, he was no longer young, and his hands and feet could not keep up with his brain, and then he collapsed to the ground.The two maids hurriedly stepped forward to help Huang Liji, Huang Liji struggled to push the two maids away, and stepped forward to grab Chen Ying's collar: "What did you say?"
Tell me again?
”Chen Ying smiled bitterly and said: "There are more than 400 people under the command of Zhou Chu, who is a forest leopard, and let Quan Xu's kid be wiped out, and none of them ran away, and Zhou Chu was cut off an arm......
Huang Li said in disbelief: "How is this possible, how is this possible?"
”Zhou Chu's ability, he is very clear.In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Chongzhen ascended the throne, and then liquidated the eunuch party and deposed him as the first assistant of the cabinet.As the eldest son of the hereditary commander of Jinyiwei, Huang Yuruo was also implicated, and at that time, Huang Yuruo's cronies and backbone members in Jinyiwei were nearly 600 people, equipped with embroidered spring knives, mandarin duck battle jackets, plus cronies, paid more than 300 casualties, and took Zhou Chu this time.Quan Xu is different, they have investigated very clearly.There are only more than 100 newly recruited victims around Quan Xu, more than half of whom are old and weak women and children, and there are about 60 young and strong men, and their combat effectiveness is less than outrageous.If it is a well-trained armed soldier, more than 60 people can indeed use the tall and strong courtyard walls to repel those bandits who have no siege equipment.However, the problem is that this is not repelled with the help of tall and strong courtyard walls, but total annihilation.Defeating more than 400 bandits and annihilating more than 400 bandits are two completely different concepts.Even if three thousand officials were dispatched, if it weren't for the bandits being blocked in the Jedi, they would not have been able to wipe out Zhou Chu.Chen Ying said with a sad face: "I can't believe it's true, but...
Those more than 400 bandits were really wiped out by him!
Lu Xiangsheng went out of the city with three thousand archers today, and they had not yet arrived at Jindi, and the battle was over.It is said that Zhou Chu camped in the broken temple on the edge of the golden embankment last night, and the broken temple collapsed in the middle of the night, burying the backbone bandits under Zhou Chu's command, Quan Xu's kid took the opportunity to take his subordinate Zhuang Ding to rush up, and hacked more than 100 people to death on the spot, and none of the rest of the people ran away, either beheaded or captured alive by him, master, what can I do?
”Huang Liji's face turned pale, but in the end, he was the first assistant, and he quickly calmed down.Huang Liji knows very well that panic will not solve any problems, but will only make them worse and worse."
What can I do?
What can I do?
”Soon, Huang Liji's eyes rolled, and he suddenly had an idea: "You take the money, hurry into Beijing, check up and down, and reveal to those officials and imperial historians that Lu Xiangsheng is the prefect of Lu, ready to rob the rich and help the poor, and copied the Wuliu Huang family to help the victims!"
”Chen Ying cried and said, "Master......
But how much does it cost to feed those hungry wolves!
”The Ming Dynasty officials' salaries are notoriously low, a county official, is seven products, 90 stone rice a year, and what is even more terrifying is that they can't get one-third or even two-thirds of the rice.That part was openly exchanged by the emperor for something else, such as silk cloth, cotton cloth, and even some small bits and pieces.Just like Lu Xiangsheng, a fourth-grade prefect, his monthly income is equivalent to 24 stone rice, an increase of about 3,000 yuan.As for the imperial historians of the Imperial Procuratorate, they are all typical weights and positions, and their income is about the same as that of Zhengqipin County Order, both seven stones and five buckets of grain per month, and these grains must not be eaten enough, but the key is that officials like them not only need to be full, but also need to eat well, and have a decent pomp.But that's all there is to it, where does their money come from?
We can only find a way, for example, like the American congressmen and people's congress deputies in later generations, to wave the flag and shout for the interest groups they represent, and act as a mouthpiece.Therefore, China's mother-in-law has raised housing prices, and there are too many bicycles leading to congestion, and bicycles should be banned.It's not that they don't have brains, it's the ass that decides the heads.Huang Liji's idea of using the imperial historian to give Lu Xiangsheng eye medicine is actually right, as the so-called companion is like a tiger, no one dares to guarantee that he will be prosperous in his life, let alone that he will not be bullied by local officials in the future.The former cabinet chief assistant was raided by the current prefect, once this opening is opened, but there is a sharp sword hanging on the heads of the officials, it is better to compare the heart than the heart, and the rabbit is dead and the fox is sad, and those imperial historians will definitely speak up.…… At the same time that Huang Liji sent Chen Ying north to Beijing, after personally interrogating Zhou Chu, Lu Xiangsheng's brows furrowed even tighter.It's not that there is a problem with Zhou Chu's confession, on the contrary, instead of a problem, everything is as Quan Xu said before, and because of this, Lu Xiangsheng is even more confused.It sounds a bit tongue-in-cheek, but in fact, it doesn't make sense.Zhou Chu is not a fledgling who has just gone up the mountain, he is a bandit who has been active in Jiming County for nearly ten years, and he is from the border army, it is impossible for him not to check the broken temple hall where he stays, even if it is not for the safety of the hall, he will check whether there are other dangers.The collapse of the main hall and the burial of all the backbone bandits around him was a very low-level mistake.It is not surprising that such a mistake appeared in a novice who had just gone up the mountain to become a bandit, but Zhou Chu was an old bandit, such a person was better than a monkey.How could he make such a low-level mistake?
Therefore, on the one hand, Lu Xiangsheng sent Yang Lukai to quietly investigate the site of the broken temple, but he was even more confused.The corpses at the scene were indeed more than 100 people who were stoned to death by the collapsed and broken temple, and some of them were incomplete, such as the upper body of a body carried in front of Lu Xiangsheng, and the lower body completely disappeared."
Is this a halving?"
Yang Lukai shook his head and said: "No, if it is a waist cut, the wound will be smoothed, and more importantly, his internal organs are squeezed into the mouth, making it seem that his waist and abdomen are more like being ......crushed by a serious injury" Yang Lukai took the tip of the knife and opened the mouth of the corpse, only to see that the lungs that had turned purple were exposed inside.Lu Xiangsheng asked again: "Crushing?"
Isn't it a big car?
”"How big is the car?"
Yang Lukai looked puzzled: "No matter how heavy the carriage is, it will only crush the bones, but this is outrageous!"
”In view of the weird and unusual, Lu Xiangsheng did not seriously investigate it, whether it was Quan Xu's hired killer or raising a family, it didn't matter, as long as he showed his fox tail, in front of the imperial court's million-strong army, careerists had no market.What's more, Lu Xiangsheng won't watch Quan Xu sit big.However, Lu Xiangsheng's real purpose is not to solve the case, he easily got the information he wanted from the bandits, this bandit from Yongping Mansion was invited by Huang Liji, the former cabinet chief, to eradicate Quan Xu.That's enough.Lu Xiangsheng scolded Huang Li for being extremely shameless, and wrote hard in anger, one was sent to Beijing in general, one was a success, and another was a complaint!
surnamed Huang, you dare to indulge bandits to loot my territory, I'm not done with you!
The case of the ransacking of the Daimyo's Mansion by Zhou Chu, a forest leopard, continues to ferment.Huang Liji took the lead in the wicked people suing first, occupying the first hand, the imperial historian began to attack Lu Xiangsheng for bullying the Zhishi officials, the hat was buttoned quite big, Huang Liji was the hero of Emperor Chongzhen's hand-picked eradication of the eunuch party, so Lu Xiangsheng, who attacked Huang Liji, was to avenge the eunuch party.Lu Xiangsheng is a jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse, and he entered the household to observe the government, and was later promoted to a member of the foreign government, and the prefect of the famous mansion was enlarged.However, Lu Xiangsheng is not a person, he is a member of the Donglin Party.Nima, dare to move the righteous gentleman of my Donglin Party, spray you without discussion, talk about the mouth cannon, my Donglin Party recognizes the second, who dares to be the first?
As a result, the two sides set out their carriages and horses and launched an all-round mutual spray.The result is not important, the evidence is not important, it is the attitude.And Quan Xu, who was the initiator, was completely out of the way.Under the bewitchment of Yuan Shiqing and Luo Shiming, a total of thirty-six male archers of the Daimyo Mansion voluntarily sold themselves into slavery and became Quan Xu's family members.Quanxu's compound, the population officially exceeded the 200 mark.Quan Xu knows that the so-called loyalty is actually not enough chips for betrayal, as long as the chips are enough, let alone betraying relatives and friends, it is possible for the left hand to betray his right hand?
To give a very simple example, someone spends money to buy your right hand, 10 million is not impressed, 100 million?
It is estimated that someone must have cut off the right hand with his right hand.In order to make these Zhuang Ding his hardcore henchmen, Quan Xu decided to increase the welfare of Zhuang Ding, so that they have no reason to betray themselves, of course, even if others want to buy them, it will also cost a heavy price.Quan Xu did not directly let these local young men and widows in the mansion fight to start a family, but held the first all-staff meeting.The meeting place is the collective canteen of the whole compound.When everyone arrived, Quan Xu and Sanniang came to the high platform built in the canteen.At this time, whether adults or children, more than 200 people were pressed in a large area, and they exchanged heads and talked about each other.Quan Xu coughed: "Everyone be quiet, everyone listen to me!"
”The crowd soon quieted down, and some children mischievous, slapped past, and immediately became honest.Since it was an all-hands meeting, even Tang Qiu and Xin Fang, who had not often appeared, appeared in the seats in front.Quan Xu looked at everyone and smiled slightly: "We all come from different places, some are from Henan, some are from Shandong, and some are from Hebei, no matter where we come from, from now on, we are all a family."
Gather all of you today and have a few things to announce!
”It is a matter of their own vital interests, and the big guys are listening carefully with their ears pricked up.Quan Xu continued: "First thing, I am going to run a school so that all the children can go to school!"
