Chapter 767 As high as the sky is, as far as the emperor is
Shen Shixing is really a little helpless. He is not afraid of anything. He is not even afraid of the difficulty of returning the land. Now that he has the emperor's imperial edict, it is even more powerful. Now, he wants to go to the gate of Hangzhou to sound the drum of grievances. He I want to tell everyone that he is wronged.
But thinking that the magistrate of Hangzhou was Yan Shixuan himself, Shen Shixing gave up this plan.
If he was a step late, even if he was delayed for a while on the road, he would not be responsible for the civil uprising in Sanjiang Camp, Taizhou Prefecture. After all, he had been in Songjiang Prefecture before.
But he got out of the car and stepped on the ground in front of Yongchang's gate with one foot. Then he had to take the blame for this matter.
Shen Shixing immediately spoke: "What is the specific situation of the civil unrest? What probably caused it? How big is the scope? What is Sanjiang Camp doing? Are there soldiers from Sanjiang Camp involved? What is the Taizhou prefect doing? Let Luo Mu Camp Scout, go to Taizhou and help the Taizhou magistrate figure out the situation quickly."
"Immediately notify all counties in Taizhou Prefecture to close city gates and block roads to prevent the situation from getting worse."
"Inform the Taizhou magistrate to find ways to determine the demands of the civil unrest, use troops lightly, and do not create conflicts and incidents. As long as the opponent's mood can be stabilized, everything will be easy to talk about. It is best not to cause bleeding death. If death is inevitable, it will be fine. Be prepared to respond.”
"If the Taizhou magistrate cannot figure out these situations, let him find a well and jump into it."
"Immediately go to Shuangyu Port in Ningbo Prefecture and report the information to the naval garrison."
Shen Shixing issued a series of very clear orders, specific to the individual. The sooner we deal with this kind of group incident, the easier it will be.
Countless fast horses traveled between Hangzhou and Taizhou, and a steady stream of news reached Hangzhou through the inn.
After a day and night of fermentation, the matter has been roughly sorted out. Shen Shiqing, who was born in Hangzhou Prefecture, led more than 3,000 poor coolies, including tenants, boatmen, canal laborers, and trackers, to rise up in Sanjiang Camp. Thousands and five hundred soldiers were among them.
Things have deteriorated to a certain extent, and the rebel soldiers and civilians have merged. At this point, they cannot be dispersed quickly.
Moreover, in just one day and one night, more than 40 Jin gentry families were broken into, and hundreds of Jin gentry and lackeys were burned to death.
It is a real civil unrest, and the number of people continues to expand.
"Li Hongdao, the prefect of Taizhou, didn't tell the truth." Yan Shixuan looked at it for a long time and said to Shen Shixing: "According to Li Hongdao, they are a group of greedy and unscrupulous people who are asking for too much and Taizhou Prefecture can't satisfy them, so they gather together to cause chaos. The wealthy families were burned and robbed, the city was filled with fireworks, and the sky was filled with candles. The people were crying loudly, begging the imperial court to send troops to pacify it. ”
"If it were one or two hundred people, five or six hundred people, this would still be true, but this is three thousand people, occupying the Sanjiang Camp to resist the enemy. Unless the fire in our hearts is really uncontrollable, we Ming people will not be able to suppress the enemy." Such a thing happened.”
Taizhou Prefecture was only a place called Sanjiangying, but there were actually three thousand ambitious and unruly people, and all kinds of people gathered together. Yan Shixuan didn't believe it. There must be some huge injustice here, which forced him to do this.
Shen Shixing threw the Tangbao in his hand to the ground and said sternly: "Li Hongdao has a problem! Let Duntai Yuanhou go to Sanjiang Camp and inquire clearly. At this time, Li Hongdao is still lying and wants to cover up! He Can you cover it? ”
"Extremely stupid!"
Yan Shixuan was stunned and asked: "Futai, I'm a bit stupid. Why do you think there is something wrong with Li Hongdao?"
Not telling the truth and having problems are two different things.
"The three thousand people who were in civil turmoil remained motionless after occupying the Sanjiang camp and could not hold on. Do you think this is a confrontational posture?" Shen Shixing said with great conviction: "They just want an explanation, and they can't wait any longer. , prepare your car immediately and head to Sanjiang Camp”
A master asked with a solemn expression: "Futai, there is so much chaos right now. Isn't it a little too dangerous to go to Futai? What if..."
"Get the car ready." Shen Shixing waved his hand and said, "If this spreads from Sanjiang Camp to the entire Taizhou, I'm afraid things will not be peaceful."
At dawn, Shen Shixing led 1,500 people from Luo Muying and set out for Sanjiang Camp. The rebels and the people had joined forces. The people relied on the strength of the army and the people's livelihood. If one person was not handled well, Zhejiang could be blown up to the sky.
Shen Shixing had been a little worried on the way because the person in charge was Shen Shiqing.
Could it be that it was because it was impossible to take the imperial examination, so he was making lies to confuse the public, and that caused such a commotion? Then isn't His Majesty's imperial edict of leniency a step too late?
Shen Shixing was worried. On the way to Sanjiang Camp, he finally figured out the situation. Duntai Yuanhou entered Sanjiang Camp without weapons and rode a donkey upside down. After asking about the situation, riding the donkey upside down meant that he had no weapons and no ill intentions. , reveal my backside to you, don’t attack, it’s the messenger.
This process was difficult. Duntai Yuanhou's entry was not smooth and he encountered great resistance. The resistance came not from the rebels but from Taizhou Prefecture.
After Duntai Yuanhou left Sanjiang Camp, he rushed to deliver the news directly to Shen Shixing, because Duntai Yuanhou believed that the Taizhou government office was not worthy of trust.
Tang Bao reported: It is really not that the imperial examination cannot be carried out, and the people are shouting and making trouble. Your Majesty has forced the people to rebel. The scholar has not been able to rebel for three years. The people are really going to make trouble, which is to play the trick of crying at the grave.
Such a big thing happened because the land was returned to the government. The court wanted to return the land, so the local gentry engaged in long-term renting. The court prohibited long-term renting. The local gentry bribed local officials in Taizhou and started to play tricks. In name, these fields were distributed to the people. The people were actually still in the hands of the Jin gentry. At this point, there was already some civil unrest on the ground in Taizhou.
About three hundred tenants tore up the papers and went to the city to complain. If Taizhou magistrate Li Hongdao had handled it properly at this time, the matter would not have become a big deal. Li Hongdao ordered a riot, and the government officials cut off the streets and blocked roads. After ambushing these tenants, the tenants were driven out of Qinghefang and fled to Taizhou East Lake Academy.
Shen Shiqing, a scholar from Hangzhou, was the tutor of this academy. Shen Shiqing took in these tenants and blocked the door to prevent the government officials from breaking in. Hundreds of tenants were beaten and bruised.
Shen Shiqing was not the one who took the initiative, but his actions had a great impact.
If Li Hongdao, the prefect of Taizhou, was willing to talk about it at this time, it would not be expanded further. However, Li Hongdao chose to go his own way and forced open the door of the academy. Seeing that Li Hongdao was so determined to go his own way, Shen Shiqing fled south with the tenants and arrived at Outside Chonghe Gate.
Sanjiang Rescue was stationed outside Chonghe Gate. It was one of the nine camps in Zhejiang originally established by Hu Zongxian. Shen Shiqing asked for asylum, and Sanjiang Battalion opened its gate.
When things got here, they were completely beyond Li Hongdao's control, because Sanjiangying was also very dissatisfied with Li Hongdao.
Sanjiang camp originally had 60,000 acres of official land. These official fields were their ration fields. Li Hongdao didn't need to coax them. He even rented out these official fields very early. Now that these ration fields are gone, they can still eat and drink. , all have to be given by the Taizhou Prefecture Yamen, and the Taizhou Prefecture can take control of Sanjiang Camp.
"Who gave him the courage! Are you crazy? After Luo Muying entered the city to suppress the bandits, he still dared to do this?" Yan Shixuan was also the prefect, and he couldn't think of anyone who gave Li Hongdao the courage!
When Luo Muying broke up the camp, it could be said that it caused an uproar all over the world. It was the most intuitive manifestation of violence. It was difficult for Yan Shixuan to understand. Is this Li Hongdao filled with shit? They are still embarrassing the Sanjiang camp.
Shen Shixing handed the pond newspaper to Yan Shixuan and said: "After His Majesty left in a jade chariot, the Jin gentry, who was unwilling to lose their land, took the name of returning to his hometown, gathered bandits, bullies, and idlers, and began to go to the countryside to collect land. The number of people in the family ranges from fifty to two hundred, and it is these people who gave Li Hongdao the confidence.”
Li Hongdao had at least 3,500 returning bandits in his hands, plus a thousand yamen servants in the government office. Violence was in Li Hongdao's hands, at least that's what Li Hongdao thought.
After the tenants entered the Sanjiang Camp, Li Hongdao ordered the government officials and returning bandit soldiers to "counter-rebellion" against the Sanjiang Camp. The conflict further intensified. Originally, the Sanjiang Camp's 1,500 soldiers only provided shelter to the tenants, teachers of East Lake Academy, and scholars. , which directly attacked the camp gate, immediately triggered a counterattack.
The Sanjiang Battalion launched a counterattack against General Fang Rongxing, captured Chonghe Gate, captured Fengxianfang, Guangwenfang, Yingxianfang, Qinghefang, Yongjingfang and other cities, captured more than 40 Jin gentry, and then withdrew its troops and returned to Sanjiang Camp.
They were forced to withdraw their troops. Li Hongdao's bandits who had returned home swarmed up. There were only 1,500 soldiers in the Sanjiang Battalion. If they could not hold such a large place, they would be defeated one by one and they would be forced to retreat to the gate outside Chonghe Gate. camp.
After Yan Shixuan read the Tang newspaper, he frowned and said: "Why are there not these returning bandits in Hangzhou Prefecture? Those Jin gentry returning to their fields, although they cry for father and mother, they dare not do so."
Shen Shixing said angrily: "Aren't you talking nonsense? When Luo Muying mutinied, you and Luo Muying commander Ma Wenying arrested Wu Shanyan, the governor of Zhejiang."
"There is a group of returning bandits on the ground in Hangzhou, why don't you kill them one by one? How can these Jin gentry dare to do this? You are also ignorant. You rely on Luo Muying to support you and ignore the mourning cries of these Jin gentry."
"That's right." Yan Shixuan had forgotten that when Luo Muying mutinied, he was also one of the rebels.
"The situation has become very clear. The Sanjiang camp has been besieged by Li Hongdao and his band of returning bandits, and the camp is about to be destroyed." Shen Shixing looked solemn.
Li Hongdao was not crazy. On the contrary, he was very calm and continued to attack. As long as he broke through the Sanjiang camp, he would be the winner. He could continue to tell the story of the unruly people causing chaos. Everyone died, and there was no evidence of death. As long as the court reacted before , settled the matter, and let him dress up the truth.
But if he doesn't attack and is captured, as long as the imperial army arrives, he will only die.
There is no doubt that the bosses behind these bandits who have returned to their hometowns also think so. They have become a community of interests. If Li Hongdao loses, the court will never let them go. On the contrary, Li Hongdao If you win, this will be another successful quelling of the civil unrest. As long as you give them a little benefit afterwards, these tenants will stop making trouble.
The land return order on the ground in Taizhou can be carried out in name only.
Li Hongdao settled the matter. If Shen Shixing did not want to patrol Songjiang and Zhejiang as a fifth-grade doctor, Shen Shixing would have to help cover it up. After all, if the court really blamed him, Shen Shixing would probably be demoted by another three levels.
In fact, at this time, the best response for Shen Shixing, Yan Shixuan, and Shuangyu Navy is to sit on the sidelines and wait for Li Hongdao to break the camp and wait for Li Hongdao to demonstrate his merits by counterinsurgency narrative. This is the most beneficial method for all bureaucrats. .
Moreover, when Li Hongdao was preparing to attack the tenants, he had already cut off the streets. The people of Taizhou did not know the truth no matter how many rumors there were.
As long as Li Hongdao can close the lid, the officials will help close the lid together based on the convergence of interests.
When Yan Shixuan started the rebellion with Luo Muying, there was nothing he could do about it. Wu Shanyan, the governor of Zhejiang Province, even wanted to kill Yan Shixuan together. Yan Shixuan had no choice but to go to the dark side.
The sky is high and the emperor is far away. As high as the sky is, the emperor is as far away as possible.
It is impossible for the emperor to know what happened. It is uncertain when the next southern tour will be, or even whether there will be another southern tour.
"Futai, do you want to go to Taizhou?" Yan Shixuan asked with a solemn expression.
"Go!" Shen Shixing shook his head and said with a cold face: "I still don't believe in this evil, can you still defeat me?! I want to be the first assistant! I must do it!"
The prerequisite for being the chief minister is your majesty's trust. Even if the Taizhou incident is really kept under wraps, your majesty will also have doubts about Shen Shixing himself. As long as your majesty has an idea, is the Taizhou incident really like this? ? If he Shen Shixing can't be the first assistant.
Shen Shixing knew very well that His Majesty was not easy to fool. On the contrary, even if he returns to the capital as a fifth-grade doctor, as long as His Majesty trusts him, he can still enter the cabinet as a fifth-grade doctor and climb to the highest position, because all great bachelors are also fifth-grade.
To be Yan Shixuan's boss, one must be tough enough to withstand any storm.
When the matter got so big, Shen Shiqing was a key figure. He opened the gate of Donghu Academy and admitted the injured tenant to the hospital. He persuaded the general manager at Sanjiang Camp to give him shelter.
On Shen Shixing's way to Taizhou, the situation of Sanjiang Camp also had twists and turns. Sanjiang Camp had been attacked for several days and was already in danger.
A guest barracks whose main purpose is to patrol against floods. After there is no ration field, the life of the soldiers is actually very hard. The weapons are ineffective. There are blunderbuss but no gunpowder, bows but no arrows. There are some long and short soldiers, but the returning bandits He and the government officials also had real swords and guns.
Originally, Sanjiang Camp was about to be breached, but due to the unexpected addition of a force, things took a turn for the better.
Li Hongdao knew very well that the Sanjiang Battalion did not have much strength. Even though this was Qi Jiguang's base camp for fighting against the Japanese in Zhejiang, the resistance against the Japanese had only been around for a long time. It had been more than 20 years and almost thirty years. Li Hongdao was not afraid of the Sanjiang Battalion. He I am more afraid of the Taizhou Prefecture Tax Office.
The interests converge. As long as Li Hongdao settles the matter, the bureaucrats will give him cover, but the Taizhou tax office will not do that. The tax office says it is only responsible for tax collection. , Li Hongdao is afraid that if he escapes to the west of Thailand, His Majesty will cut him into pieces.
So Li Hongdao took action against Jishui Tiqi.
There are a total of twenty-seven tax inspectors in the Taizhou tax inspection room. In Li Hongdao's opinion, with such a small number of people, isn't it a trivial matter to be able to control them easily as long as they give orders?
Li Hongdao gave the order, and Li Hongdao almost died.
At this time, Li Hongdao realized what it meant to have an independent armed force. Li Hongdao thought that the Tiqi were as weak as the Sanjiang Battalion, but the Tiqi who came from Duntaiyuanhou and patrolled the coast were extremely brave.
You don’t have any skills, but you still want to collect taxes?
Zhang Juzheng said that the emperor's tax collection was the style of a mountain king, and he was collecting protection fees. Legas said that the emperor's tax stamps were not tax stamps, but indulgences. He wanted to collect protection fees and sell indulgences, but he had no strength, so how could he collect them? How to sell?
Li Hongdao was a Jinshi, and he looked down on Qiu Ba from the bottom of his heart. He had never seen a scholar who fought, so he really didn't know the fighting power of Tiqi.
Even in Li Hongdao's heart, there is no difference between firearms and fireworks.
There are twenty-seven members of the tax-collecting cavalry in total. According to the latest imperial edict, each tax-collecting cavalry can only lead fifty archers. Although in a hurry, the tax-collecting cavalry only gathered less than 300 people, but it was enough. Used it, and these more than 300 people are just odd jobs.
Twenty-seven Tiqi soldiers were dispatched, and nine teams were on the streets less than three miles away, relying on the pavilion terrain to block the attack of nearly 500 people.
Not only that, these twenty-seven Tiqi even launched a counterattack and almost captured the Taizhou government office. The Tiqi made a total of seven tentative attacks, but none of them had any effect. Then Li Hongdao climbed up the wall to check. In this situation, I saw a nine-pound artillery that had been ignited!
Li Hongdao swore that he had never heard such a loud noise in his life. It was no exaggeration to say that it was deafening.
But in the end, the Tiqi did not break into the Taizhou Prefecture Yamen. After firing the cannon, the Tiqi rushed to Chonghe Gate in a show of force. Sanjiang Camp was in danger. The Tiqi knew that the key to the conflict was Sanjiang Camp. Sanjiang Camp must not be breached, except In addition, Tiqi's attack on the government office is suspected of rebellion. After all, it is His Majesty's government office.
The Tiqi went to the Sanjiang Camp. The musketry and artillery cavalry, in a team of three, directly defeated the returning bandits that the Jin gentry were proud of and could not find the north, and rescued the Sanjiang Camp.
By the time Shen Shixing arrived, Tiqi and Sanjiang battalions had surrounded the Taizhou government office, and the situation was completely reversed.
"Meet the governor." Su Chengping, who collects taxes from thousands of households, led 27 Tiqi to receive Shen Shixing, Yan Shixuan and others who came overnight.
"What happened?" Shen Shixing was a little confused. The battle report he heard was that Sanjiang Camp was besieged, but the situation he saw was that Taizhou Fuyamen was besieged.
Su Chengping is from Sichuan. When he was seven years old, he followed his father to Guanzhong. Later, his father became a Yinxingren, that is, he went out of Guanzhong to farm in Hetao and returned to Guanzhong in autumn and winter. When he was seventeen years old, he joined the military camp. Later, he joined the military camp. In Datong Prefecture, I joined Duntai Yuanhou. After serving as Duntai Yuanhou for three years, I was selected to become a Tiqi. Because I knew how to settle accounts, I became a tax rider.
Su Chengping told Shen Shixing everything about the situation.
"I heard that Xiang Yu and his 28 cavalry broke out from Gaixia to Wujiang and killed hundreds of people. I also heard that Liu Yu chased ten thousand people with swords. I thought it was all a joke, but I didn't expect it to be true." Yan Shixuan I was also shocked to hear that just twenty-seven Tiqi had caused such a big change on the battlefield.
Are Elites so powerful?
Su Chengping said with a smile: "This is nothing. In the past, the three of us chased hundreds of people on the grassland. This was mainly due to morale, it was just a mob."
A few elite soldiers chase hundreds or thousands of people. This has happened repeatedly in history. It is really not an exaggeration. The two Song Dynasties had the most achievements in this regard.
There are three reasons why this phenomenon occurs when fighting with cold weapons.
The first is armor. If you fight with armor but without armor, you will be crushed. Without armor, you can't fight at all. This is the reason why swords, guns, swords, halberds and bows have been banned in all dynasties. Wearing armor without reason is treason.
The second reason is the effective attack. It seems that 500 people hit 27 people, but in fact, one person only needs to face a few people at most. The rest can only wait for the person in front to fall before they can follow up. Not 500 people can fight against each other. Can hit these twenty-seven people at the same time.
The third reason is morale. If there are a hundred enemies on the battlefield, the first ten will be killed faster, and the next ninety will be killed faster. Because when ten people fall down like wheat, fear will It will spread, morale will collapse, and under the control of fear, escape will become inevitable.
The cavalry were equipped with iron armor as standard, were well-trained, had firearms and blunderbuss, and had terrain advantages such as streets. The enemy was a bunch of returning bandits and a ragtag group of people, so they could achieve such results.
This is also the scary part of the line artillery array. Under artillery bombardment, flat cannons calling out armored men, large-scale killing with bird cannons, and harassment by light cavalry, a legion dominated by cold weapons is no match at all.
Yan Shixuan said with some emotion: "This Li Hongdao is so good at life, what can he do to provoke Ji Shutiqi?"
Su Chengping looked around and said in a low voice: "Governor Shen also wanted to put in a few nice words for us. We were fighting back. Li Hongdao didn't know why he was crazy. He beat us first. Later, he heard that Sanjiang Camp was besieged. I have no choice but to save him.”
It's okay for the Tiqi to fight back, or even bombard the government offices, but going to Sanjiang Camp to rescue the soldiers and civilians of Sanjiang Camp is beyond the scope of the tax-collecting Tiqi's authority. The tax-collecting court is only responsible for tax collection. This is an iron rule.
But Su Chengping was a human being. He was instilled with the concept that rescuing the head of Guizhou was to report to the emperor, and maintaining local stability was to ensure the stability of His Majesty's imperial power. Therefore, he issued the order to counter the rebellion, led the Tiqi troops, and relieved the Sanjiang Camp. A situation of siege.
Someone will definitely take this as an argument. At this time, as the governor of Zhejiang, Shen Shixing can put in a few nice words, and the Taizhou tax inspectorate will not be so passive.
Shen Shixing thought for a moment and said: "Li Hongdao's attack on the Tax Institute is a rebellion. When a rebellion occurs, it is proper for all armed forces to participate in countering the rebellion. The tax law is being revised. I will write a memorial to the capital to explain this. thing.”
"Thank you Futai! Then I will withdraw first." Su Chengping breathed a sigh of relief and left with the Tiqi.
What Li Hongdao should have done was to bribe the tax collector Su Chengping and others, instead of taking over all the tax collectors. This was an extremely wrong order.
But it is difficult to buy the tax house, because if you buy the tax cavalry, it can easily become the target of the tax cavalry. The first problem of the tax cavalry is to find the scum who evade taxes.
There are also those who have passed the examination of the Tax Inspection Institute.
"Go in and arrest Li Hongdao." Shen Shixing waved his hand, and the Luo Muying soldiers behind him rushed into the Taizhou Mansion Yamen that had been bombed to pieces. Shen Shixing thought there was a fierce battle, but he came and only needed to wave A wave of the hand will do the trick.
Ming's strong error correction mechanism took effect in a strange way.
Luo Muying soldiers caught Li Hongdao who was hanging himself at Qinxin Pavilion in the back mountain.
Shen Shixing has been thinking about whether it is reasonable for the tax inspectors of the Tax Inspectorate to participate in countering the rebellion. After much thought, he still thinks it is reasonable, because the tax inspectorate of the Inspectorate of Taxes is for the continuation of the dynasty, and the suppression of rebellion is also for the rule of the dynasty.
If when rebellion occurs, all armed forces should participate in counterinsurgency and grant the Taxation Yuan the power to counterinsurgency, then the Taxation Yuan's power will be expanded, and the purity of the armed force of the Taxation Yuan must be required in order to truly become a local of ballast stone.
But if the violence in the Taxation Bureau gets out of control, it will become the greatest danger to the local area.
For example, once the emperor himself who controls this armed force is no longer wise, the tax collector can use the name of suppressing rebellion for the emperor to plunder, burn, and loot unscrupulously in the local area, because everything is legal.
When the army was arresting people, Shen Shixing thought for a long time, and finally felt that it was better not to write it into written law, but to exist in the form of unspoken rules. Once the emperor was really no longer wise, he could also directly ban it to prevent the tax inspectorate. The violence is out of control.
"Are you Shen Shiqing?" Shen Shixing saw another criminal, Shen Shiqing, a lecturer at Donghu Academy who was kidnapped by Wu Huada. He was from Hangzhou. If it weren't for him, the matter wouldn't have reached this level.
"Yes!" Shen Shiqing was very excited and said loudly: "Kill or behead me as you wish! I have no regrets! Prefect Yan, tell my mother that I am not a coward!"
Shen Shiqing didn't know Shen Shixing, but he knew Yan Shixuan. After all, he could become an official and could see the prefect. Obviously, Shen Shiqing didn't understand the situation. He felt that he had also been arrested. It was Shen Shixing who wanted to give Li Hongdao justice. Coming.
It is true that he has no regrets. If Shen Shiqing were to do it again, he would still open the courtyard door and let the tenants in. But it would be a lie to say that he is not afraid of death.
"It's very good." Shen Shixing showed a bright smile and said with emotion: "It's very good. My husband always told me that the Han Dynasty has loyal and good people. It is true."
< br>
"Your Majesty said: Since ancient times, there have been people who work hard, people who work hard, people who pray for the people, and people who sacrifice their lives to seek justice. This is the backbone of China. Only by having faith and not deceiving oneself can we sustain it. A sky rises.”
"You're fine."
Shen Shiqing is very young, as young as His Majesty, in his twenties. This is hope. Of all things in the world, the most fearful thing is that there will be no successor.
Shen Shixing had worried more than once. With them all gone, how long can His Majesty last and how far can he go alone? But now Shen Shixing no longer has such worries. His Majesty is surrounded by more than just them. followers.
Shen Shiqing made a choice and benefited from this choice. In the future, he will choose this way.
