Chapter 710: Incorporating Shanyue people?
Fang Junxin said, what's the point of you, a stingy uncle, sending me a "good guy card"? Liu Renyuan, who was behind him, had already strode over, grabbed the prisoner by the collar, lifted his thin body up like a chicken, and glared angrily: "You bastard, it seems that I haven't had enough of the methods of this general. If you dare to hide your secrets from the Marquis! If you have anything else to say, tell me and I will give you a happy life, otherwise, hum..."
The captive's legs were so frightened that his legs were weak. The general beside the Marquis was so cruel. When he saw him, every bone in his body was trembling... The Marquis was kind, such a good man! The prisoner was so frightened that he shouted: "Master Hou, save me!"
Fang Jun strolled back and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, let him go. He is just a poor man who was cornered by the world. How can we Han people make things difficult for Han people?"
Liu Renyuan was stunned: "Is he a Han?"
Although I didn't understand how a Han man could get involved with those Shanyue people, I finally let go.
The prisoner knelt at Fang Jun's feet and said sincerely: "Damn you, I didn't tell you everything I knew before. Under the command of the commander-in-chief Wu Duohai, there were some nobles who had escaped from the Sui royal family. They were very mysterious. They were usually small. It is not common to know that these people have been protected by Wu Duohai a long time ago, and a nobleman’s daughter has been assigned to Wu Duohai and will become his wife, named Dong Mingzhu..."
< br>
"Wait! Dong Mingzhu?" Fang Jun's eyes widened: "You said this Dong Mingzhu is not from Shanyue?"
"Of course not! How can the poor Shanyue people have such a fairy-like figure as Pearl Girl?"
Fang Jun feels more and more interesting...
There are actually nobles from the former Sui royal family among the Shanyue people? The Shanyue people rebelled again and again, but their motives were not so simple. They might have been instigated by those people behind them.
Is the former Sui royal family coming back from the ashes?
Liu Ren is willing to believe it or not: "How many years have passed since the Sui Dynasty was destroyed? Is it impossible?"
Fang Junxin said why it’s impossible? How many years have passed since the Ming Dynasty fell? Isn’t there still a group of people who are determined to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty? There are too many people with obsessive-compulsive disorder in the world. Of course, some of those who opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty were not just loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty, but more like nationalists. At least they were much more morally superior than those who opposed the Tang Dynasty and restored the Sui Dynasty.
"That's all?" Fang Jun felt that although this was big news, it was actually of no use. Even if there are some remnants of the former Sui Dynasty who are determined to restore the country, this possibility is infinitely close to zero. During the Sui Dynasty, many families were rebelling against each other. The Guanzhong and Shandong families, which were the foundation of the country, all rebelled. The Jiangnan gentry also looked on indifferently. And what about the Tang Dynasty now? It may be possible to conspire to kill His Majesty Li Er and replace him with another emperor, but it is absolutely impossible to overthrow the Tang Dynasty.
The prisoner thought for a while and said: "Not long ago, Zong Shuai had a quarrel with that noble Han man. It seems that Zong Shuai accused the noble man, saying that the children of the aristocratic family are a bunch of waste, and even a hastily formed fleet None of them can be defeated... Moreover, Commander Zong wanted to transfer everyone to attack Gushu City and Danyang City, but the noble prince objected."
Fang Jun finally understood.
The Shanyue people must have been instigated behind this rebellion. In other words, instigation is not appropriate, it's just that everyone gets what they want. This Han nobleman must have contacted some of the Jiangnan nobles and secretly supported the Shanyue people.
But what is his purpose? It’s not like he wanted to overthrow the Tang Dynasty, or rule by dividing the river, and cede territory to become king, right?
The most important thing is, who is this noble young master? The purpose of opposing Wu Duohai's transfer of everyone was obviously to kill me. Who has such a deep hatred against me? Thinking of this, Fang Jun's heart suddenly moved.
Could it be...
Fang Jun nodded and said: "If that's all, I know, you can go, it's best to escape from here far away, the imperial army will be encircling and suppressing them soon, and the Shanyue people have no chance of success at all. Don’t lose your life.”
The prisoner refused to leave, and still knelt on the ground. He raised his head and looked at Fang Jun with some embarrassment: "Master Marquis... I know you are for the Marquis, and you are the Marquis leading the army. It is impossible for me to be desperate like this. There are many Han Chinese who do not mix among the Shanyue people, and even among the Shanyue people, there are many I don't want to rebel at all, I just want to have enough food and clothing to keep my family alive... If the Marquis doesn't mind, can you let us join the Marquis' army? If the Marquis can give us a good meal, let us feed him? As a family, we are not afraid of death and will sell our lives to Mr. Hou!”
Fang Jun was speechless, this script was wrong... If a famous general bowed to him after he accepted it, Fang Jun would feel a great sense of accomplishment. But such a useless guy among the Shanyue people...
Liu Renyuan sneered and said: "It's just you? Humph, the Marquis' team should not be greedy for life and afraid of death!" This prisoner almost sold his ancestors when he added some tricks. Such a boneless guy, What's the use?
The prisoner opened his eyes and glared at Liu Renyuan: "It's not that the little one has no talent, and it's not that the little one is afraid of death, but why should the little one work for the Shanyue people? The little one is a Han. Although the Han people don't admit it, the little one is still a Han people! If you work for the Han people, don’t you think I can say a word? Even if you kill me, you won’t say a word!”
Liu Renyuan remained silent. The momentum displayed by this prisoner was not bad. Maybe... he could really be a good soldier?
Fang Jun thought that Sun Wu had recruited many Shanyue people into the army. The famous Lu Xun had many Shanyue generals and soldiers under his command, and they were very powerful in combat. Anyway, his own naval force was short of men, so he had to give this prisoner a chance.
Then he said: "Even so, then you go back and unite with like-minded people. I am not limited by ethnic origin, whether it is Han Chinese or Shanyue people, as long as you sincerely want to serve as a soldier and support your family, I welcome everyone! But! The ugly talk is ahead. If you join the army in the future, you can use military law to speak for yourself. If you defy military law, don’t blame me for being unkind! "
The prisoner was overjoyed: "Of course I know! I will go back now and unite those who are unwilling to rebel to join the Marquis."
"Wait! You don't have to come here. I will go to Suzhou soon. If you really want to join the army, you can go to Suzhou on your own."
The prisoner left with great gratitude.
What Fang Jun couldn't predict was that he agreed to recruit the Shanyue people on a whim, but he didn't know what kind of damage these Shanyue people who didn't read Confucius and Mencius and didn't know morality would bring to the surrounding countries...
*****
Jiangdu, Yangzhou Governor's Mansion.
King Wu Li Ke had a gloomy face, and the anger in his heart was burning, and he was about to be unable to suppress it.
The emperor decreed that his official position was "Governor of Anzhou", but Li Ke hated Anzhou, a remote and remote place, and insisted on staying in Jiangdu instead of going to Anzhou. The imperial court had nothing to do with His Highness King Wu's decision. The key was that His Majesty Li Er, who felt sorry for his son, did not express his position on it, so he had to let it go.
Although Jiangdu is prosperous and not inferior to Chang'an, Li Ke is not happy...
The reason is that it is difficult to speak.
Who can imagine that as a prince, and even as the governor of Anzhou appointed by His Majesty, he would not even charge a tax?
The temperature in Jiangnan is suitable and there are two crops a year. Seeing that the summer harvest was about to begin, and last autumn's tax collection had not yet been completed, Li Ke naturally continued to write, ordering the states under his jurisdiction to complete last year's tax collection before the summer harvest.
Although he has long given up the idea of fighting for the throne, it does not mean that he does not want to show off in front of his father. His father was determined to conquer the east, how could Li Ke not know? The amount of money and food required for the Eastern Expedition is astronomical. If you can save some money and food for your father to go to the Eastern Expedition, your father will be very happy!
But now, Li Ke is actually struggling with the daily operations of the Governor's Mansion...
No one pays taxes!
My writing is like a stone sinking into the ocean, without any waves at all.
He summoned several magistrates from prefectures and counties to question him, and they found out that either "last year's floods caused all the farmers to lose their harvests" or "the mountains became more chaotic and the world was desolate." Anyway, there was always a lot of excuses waiting for him. No money, no food!
Li Ke finally understood why his father gnashed his teeth in hatred whenever the Jiangnan nobles were mentioned, and even sent Fang Jun to Jiangnan to settle the score with the Jiangnan nobles.
These guys have gone too far!
These Jiangnan nobles united and had extensive connections. They almost controlled all aspects of Jiangnan. They completely regarded Jiangnan as their forbidden territory and took whatever they wanted, but they did not allow the imperial court to get involved and make any profit!
Is this still the territory of the Tang Dynasty?
Li Ke was furious, but was helpless.
Just when he was angry, a guard suddenly came to report that Fang Jun's subordinates asked to see him. Third update, please vote for me!
