Chapter 31: Vibrating Arms (14)(1/2)
Chief Wei seems to understand his thoughts very well.
What else can I do? This guy is in a hurry.
Hulala defeated half the county, and then Hulala defeated half the county again. That Chishiro was so famous, Hulala was defeated, which shocked people, and then Hulala inexplicably won half of the county.
The territory is getting bigger... What do you want the people sitting behind to think?
Do we have to wait for the day when Shantong Haidan Dalang comes back with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and then he crooked his mouth at the foot of the city and said that it is getting cold today, can we change the chief? Don't set up the leading one.
Now, don’t be a big boss...then the people at the back will have to stand aside?
So not to mention Taoist Wei, people like Xu Dalang swarmed in, isn't that the same meaning?
As for Zhang Xing, I did have a clear idea or statement before, that is, if the Kinki counties can not touch each other, if the sky falls, let the higher ones take the top. Here, we will honestly pave the road, lay a solid foundation, and wait for the low tide of the revolution.
, run away honestly, keep a spark of revolutionary destiny, wait for the general trend to turn over again, and then do great things.
However, hasn’t the situation changed?
First of all, time is passing. It has been more than two months since the September Uprising. You have tried your best to hide as much as you can, and what is coming is probably coming. At this time, you continue to pretend to be low and petty.
What is it for?
Isn't it you, the Deposed Dragon Gang, who has occupied almost five counties? Isn't it you who are the biggest rebel in the East? Do you really think that the imperial court is full of idiots, and you only look at the number of people who have been kidnapped to see who is the biggest rebel?
Maybe when the time comes, some knowledgeable Yiwei general will come and see that the land is being conferred here. Okay, you will depose the Dragon Gang because it is a nuisance. I will kill you first.
Therefore, if you continue to exercise restraint, you may not be able to stop Wei's hammer from falling from the sky.
Secondly, from the September uprising to the present, all the situations are pointing to the fact that this stage is indeed a stage where people's hearts grow grass... And if you want to improve your ability to resist attacks, low-key deep cultivation is certainly a way, but you can take advantage of the situation.
Isn’t that a good idea?
Finally, the most important point is that at this time, the world is in turmoil and everyone is rebelling against Wei. If you don't do some things, others will naturally do it. If others do, your family will only blame you for missing the opportunity.
People's hearts are broken and it's hard to lead the team. How can that be called putting the cart before the horse?
Don't forget, why did Zhang and Li agree to do justice that day...Whether they do it or not, who will have their turn to speak?
Therefore, we can only channel and take advantage of the situation.
Everyone had their own thoughts and followed Zhang Xing and Zhang Dalongtou into the back hall of the county government. Zhang Longtou and Chief Wei naturally took their seats, Xu Dalang was on the left, Zhou Xingfan was on the right, and the Lu brothers and several local leaders from Jiyin lined up in sequence.
.
Then, fish soup with a lot of ginger was served. It is said that Zhang Longtou caught it from Jishui himself.
Everyone patiently drank a bowl of soup and warmed themselves up, and then came together to see Zhang Longtou, who had been acting strangely before.
"I don't dare to move because the queen, princess, and Mr. Zhang are too important, nor because Liangjun's position is too important." Zhang Xing got straight to the point, dispelling some of the doubts of many people. "Between Heji and Ji, from Dongjun
As for Dengzhou, there are eight counties in total. Now we are rushing to five or six counties. How can we still be as cautious as when we started the uprising? The reason why I hesitate is because I really can't be sure... Zhang Shizhao is going
Jiangdu, is it good or bad for us?"
"Of course it's bad!" Wei Xuanding, who was sitting next to Zhang Xing, put down the fish soup and hurriedly wiped his mouth, feeling like he was forcing himself to interrupt. "He was in Xingyang, staring at our reality, but when he came to Jiangdu, he remembered us from time to time.
, wouldn’t it be a big trouble?”
"Then the queen, princess and others going to Jiangdu will be good or bad for us?" Zhang Xing continued to ask.
"It's neither good nor bad." Wei Xuanding remained calm. "I've said it before. The final analysis of this matter is that we are rebels and they are members of the Wei royal family. How can we watch them walk away from us? Zhang Longtou, you
After releasing the grain and burning the debt, after burning the debt and granting the land, do we still need to comfort the orphans and widows after granting the land? Even if we want to comfort the orphans and widows, we still need money and food. The front is still fighting, although we did not continue to ask for food from the rear after taking Dongping County.
, but shouldn’t we be prepared? This move in the palace will inevitably bring countless treasures and silk with them, and there will also be a lot of money and food.”
"That's absolutely true." Zhang Xing nodded slightly, but he didn't know what he was agreeing with.
"But Mr. Zhang's reputation is not bad." At this moment, Zhou Xingfan proposed a new idea on the right... There are actually quite a few leaders here, but Xiao Zhou's qualifications and reputation are unexpectedly only behind Xu Shiying. "Compared to before.
The other Nanya Xianggong Zhang Thief is different."
"After all, he is the wise man of the Hun Jun!" Taoist Wei refuted without hesitation. "So what if I cut this bag for the Hun Jun?"
"It makes sense." Zhang Xing nodded and asked seriously again. "So, the queen also wants to be killed? Those princesses and concubines also want to be killed? How many young daughters will be killed for the sake of a foolish king?"
Taoist Wei choked on the spot.
The rest of Xu Shiying and others were also silent for a while.
After a while, Xu Dalang, the other actual giant here, spoke seriously: "The queen has no bad reputation, but she has a rank. If she is harmed, there will be no other benefits except annoying the world and attracting special revenge from the court... If she really has the intention
In this matter, the queen should not only not kill her, but should treat her with courtesy."
"How to treat each other with courtesy?" Zhang Xing continued to ask. "Should we support them or give them away after living? If we support them, to what extent? Didn't we say that we want to steal money, food and treasure to enrich ourselves? We have to use them after robbing them.
On them? And if they are sent out alive, why should we rob them again?"
"Then I'll just say it." Taoist Wei also reacted at this time and simply said. "What I mean is that we killed Zhang Shizhao to establish our authority, stole the accompanying wealth, silk and gold pillars to enrich ourselves, and hijacked the queen and all the people.
The palace seeks strength!"
"Just tell me what is trying to be strong?" Zhang Xing was not surprised at all, as if he had thought about these things for a long time, but he kept asking questions.
"When dealing with the queen and the palaces, you must treat them with courtesy, to show that you are different from ordinary bandits, who promote themselves and attract talents; when dealing with court officials, you must issue empress edicts to give orders to put them in a dilemma; when dealing with the encirclement and suppression by the government and the emperor Cao
, so they used the safety of the queen and the palaces as a threat to prevent them from taking any rash action!" Wei Xuanding indeed had an idea. "This is called serving the central palace to order the place, holding the queen hostage to resist rape, and establishing a special voice in courtesy to the palace."
When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other.
Obviously, whether it is for these local tycoons from the hometown of Eastern Qi, or for some surrendered officials, including people with different origins and talents like Xu Dalang and Xiao Zhou, Taoist Wei's words and plans made them feel...
Apart from a hint of fear, they were also a little eager to try.
These are the queen, the serious concubines, and the princess... But on the other hand, does manipulating the fate of these nobles show how powerful we are?
Of course, after some thinking, everyone naturally focused their attention on Zhang Sanlang, the former deputy inspector of Fulong Guard and now the leader of the deposed Dragon Gang.
But Zhang Sanlang had no awareness of shouldering historical responsibility. Instead, he continued to ask like a bully: "So, if we follow this idea, why must we kill Zhang Shizhao?"
Chief Wei remained silent.
"I understand." Unexpectedly, Zhang Xing nodded, suddenly dropped this question, and continued to ask other questions. "Wei Gong, have you ever thought that if things come to pass, these ideas of yours will be risky.
For example, if you treat the palaces with courtesy and show a different attitude from other rebels, the advantage is that people like the Cui family of Qinghe may come to surrender, but are there no disadvantages? Will they lose the recognition of the reckless heroes in turn?
?It is right to want to be the leader of the world's rebels, but who are the basic members of the rebels? As for the so-called "serving the palace to command the place, and holding the queen hostage to resist rape, there are similar negative arguments, right?"
Wei Xuanding remained silent, seemingly convinced by Zhang Xing.
"So, we won't get involved in this matter?" Xiao Zhou looked at the other leaders and asked proactively.
"Let's make a plan." Zhang Xing thought for a while and gave an unexpected answer. "If conditions permit, it doesn't hurt to give it a try... After all, although there are no huge benefits, it still doesn't matter.
There is no big harm. When things are at this point, it is always feasible to grab some things and make money to make money... If everyone is idle, it is also idle."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Taoist Wei simply threw up his sleeves. The meaning was obvious. So, what are you talking about for so long?
Of course, even Taoist Wei knew in his heart that Zhang Xing's words must be valuable. At least he had roughly laid out the pros and cons for the people below to understand... and he also forced himself, the chief short seller, to accept it out of thin air.
The other party is a huge favor.
To put it bluntly, in that situation, why must Zhang Shizhao be killed instead of surrendering?
Isn't this blackmailing the queen to order the place?
Is the queen valuable, but the prime minister is worthless? Does Mr. Zhang lack talent, prestige, or disciples and old officials? And the queen can be on the level of a local official, but not the level of a prime minister?
It's just that Zhang Shizhao really surrendered. It's hard to say for the rest. It's impossible for this chief to be named Wei anyway?
But if Mr. Zhang really becomes the chief, given his family background and reputation, he might really be the chief, and Li Shu and Zhang Xing would not be happy to see it either.
"In that case, let's lay out the intelligence along the way to Liangjun first." After digesting his emotions, Wei Xuanding rapped the eucalyptus board with his knuckles and spoke. "If there are really ten thousand soldiers and horses, famous generals will be in custody, and a dozen or so masters of condensation will accompany them.
, we naturally don’t know what to do...but if there are thousands of Jinwu Guards and one or two Condensing Pills...then why not do it?"
At this point, Wei Xuanding turned to look at Zhang Xing: "What I mean is to invite King Xiongtian back."
"Okay." Zhang Xing was completely calm.
"Jinwuwei..."
"The Jinwu Guards are all wimps..." Zhang Xing sneered. "At least the Jinwu Guards who escaped from the Three Expeditions that day are all wimps... And I think that based on the current embarrassing situation in Dongdu, I'm afraid Uncle Cao will probably let him
Xingyang and Liangjun's garrison troops will accompany you, and soldiers from various counties will protect you along the way...The key is how many masters are accompanying you? Will there be a master accompanying you?"
"If there is a master, he will naturally watch him off..."
"..."
"..."
In this way, everyone discussed it and made many arrangements. They simply stayed overnight near Jiyin County Mansion that night and did not go back directly.
Then, around the second watch, it suddenly started to snow again outside.
Not long after the snowflakes began to fall, Xu Shiying suddenly came to visit in private.
"It's not what you think." Zhang Xing seemed to have expected that the other party was coming, and he was quick and quick. "Don't really think that King Qi and I have anything to say. The words He Shang said before were just an opportunity to disturb the other party's heart.
That's all... Besides, although King Qi is the only adult prince left, he is a concubine and has nothing to do with the Queen."
Xu Dalang nodded immediately and asked naturally again: "So, is there really something that can be done about this matter?"
To be continued...
