Chapter 452 Chapter 430 Drawing silk and making nets to burn water and dry up the lake
In the few days after the Liangshan War, Ning Yi’s life was basically spent on the road and eating. While on the way, I sorted out all kinds of information, and mostly socialized during meals, negotiating with the county magistrate, prefecture magistrate, or other officials in charge of reserves and material allocation. It’s hard to stop when you’re busy.
Of course, although logistics mostly determines the outcome of a war, Ning Yi's entertainment is not for this purpose.
In the entire process of dealing with Liangshan, more than 50,000 people who could be removed were decomposed by clever tricks. In the eyes of others, it is an immeasurable achievement, but for Ning Yi, the matter was done. half. From the beginning, he did not think that his strategy could solve all problems at once. In the end, a fight must be fought, but he was not familiar with fighting. Although both Fang Duxing and Dulonggang are now willing to ask him about the final plan, Ning Yi has completely let go of the command power. The officers and soldiers belong to the officers and soldiers, and the Dulonggang belongs to Dulonggang. He only takes the power of learning. Look at everything with a mentality, and occasionally ask questions about aspects you don't understand, but never question the other party's decision.
With Liangshan's previous record at the bottom, if he had questions, it would be fine if the other party didn't listen. If he wavered, that would probably be the most troublesome thing. If you want to get things done, you must not let laymen dictate to experts.
In the Battle of Liangshan, the results, military achievements, and gold and silver gains have now been determined. Ning Yi was kind to others and made the whole matter a major event in the public opinion, which was jointly carried out by several surrounding states and counties and Wurui Camp. During this period, on the one hand, he had to coordinate all parties, distribute benefits, and report the issue of claiming credit for the entire matter to the right minister; on the other hand, he needed to urge officials in several states and counties not to be half-hearted, so that every family After visiting, Qin Siyuan's tiger skin not only lured the surrounding officials with the momentum of destroying Liangshan, but also intimidated them.
"If possible, I don't want to talk about the blood feud of the Su family all day long... But now I can only do this, lest anyone hold me back..."
A few days ago During the time, Ning Yi traveled back and forth to Yunzhou, Jeju and other places, meeting with groups of people. In addition to distributing benefits and asking people to provide further assistance, during the banquet, he would often talk about the Su family. The words seemed unintentional, but only Wang Shanyue, Su Wenyu and others who were following him understood that it was almost a fixed scene at every dinner table. Ning Yi seemed to be kind to others when he met them, but only when it came to the Su family's affairs, Or when he was teaching a child, his eyes would be red and his eyes cold, and he would even punch the table in front of many officials, and then react and apologize.
The first time he mentioned it, Wang Shanyue also felt sympathy. Su Wenyu was originally from the Su family, and he almost cried when he thought of those children and relatives. But after several times, they realized that this seemingly unintentional statement was the focus of Ning Yi's output every time. Even when he asked the people in Dulonggang to go out to publicize the news of Liangshan's defeat, he also emphasized that his side was not only sent by the imperial court to do things, but also came because of blood feud. This must be emphasized.
After several days of running around and having dinner, Ning Yi would tell Luan Tingyu, Zhu Biao, and Hu Sanniang the whole situation in detail only when he returned to meet with more than 2,000 people in Dulonggang. et al. In his words, this is the communication between the political level and the military level. Only by knowing the strategic direction can the leader make better decisions on tactics.
After the battle at Dulonggang, Luan Tingyu and others did not participate in the battle at Liangshan. But after appeasing the bankers and treating the wounded, they still gathered more than 3,000 people and chased them here according to Ning Yi's instructions. Among the more than 3,000 people, the bankers who were the most capable of fighting and had a blood feud with Liangshan, as The main force was probably in their early 2,000s, and there were slightly more people from Hujiazhuang led by Hu Sanniang. As for the other thousand people, they were not the logistics personnel prepared for the expedition, but according to Ning Yi's arrangement, many people who performed trivial tasks, headed by doctors, accountants, and stewards, specifically to clean up the mess left by Song Jiang. Prepare.
At noon that day, Ning Yi had already gone to ventilate the air with the commander of Wurui Camp, and finally came to the barren mountain called Yeyaling where the Dulonggang people followed the Song River and were temporarily stationed. People tell the truth.
“...I don’t know how to fight anymore, but after the battle of Liangshan, Song Jiang and the others can choose only two directions. To put it bluntly, it is actually simple, either dragging or surrendering. As for the third way, Leaving Shandong to join Tian Hu, Wang Qing and the others should not be possible. ”
As the sun set, in the camp set up on Yeya Ridge, Ning Yi spread out the many delicacies he had brought on the grass. A wild boar was roasting on the bonfire, but Zhu Biao and others were there. The harvest on the road has been harvested. At this time, the oil is dripping and the fragrance is constantly spreading. Luan Tingyu and others gathered here. If any young people came to see them, Ning Yi would say hello to them and ask them to get a box of food and cut a piece of pork.
“It’s easy to drag. Here in Shandong, the power of the government is not strong to begin with, and many things are old-fashioned. There are barren mountains and ridges everywhere. Although they have lost Liangshan, there is no way that Wurui Camp has more than 20,000 people. The whole army was dispatched to accompany them everywhere. Liangshan's interests have arrived. Once it is in hand, no one is willing to take it out anymore. In terms of logistics, Wurui Camp cannot delay and is not in the mood to delay it. They just need to delay Wurui Camp until they have no idea, and then find a hilltop to build a stronghold. Within a few years, we will be able to make a comeback.”
"Of course it's not easy just to drag them away, so they took over villages and burned down people's houses while running away. They didn't kill many people, just to leave complaints. You are a county magistrate, so you may be able to get some credit for this matter, but the following is After several places were burned down, but not all people were killed, the credit may not be made up in this year's performance appraisal. This is a troublesome thing."
Ning Yi paused. : "So they burned and looted in Yunzhou for a while, and then maybe I will run to Jeju. When Jeju sees that there is a problem in Yunzhou, Lu Zhizhou or something over there might take the initiative to recruit them based on the idea that more things are worse than less things. A credit, It eliminates the need for bad reviews on performance appraisals and gives them more credit than Yunzhou. It is very likely that they will do this. This is a way to be demoted, and once they are demoted, it will be difficult for us to kill them."< br>
Luan Tingyu nodded on the other side : "So, the decisive battle will be held near Yunzhou."
"Commander Fang and I said the same, of course, it is only possible." Ning Yi nodded, "For Song Jiang and the others , if Jeju does not accept it, he We can continue to cause chaos, going north and east, including Lingzhou and Qingzhou, but they cannot estimate our capabilities. The longer we delay, the more likely it will be trouble, so I think they want to be as quick as possible. I've been with him these days We are all coordinating. I am here to take revenge and kill my family in a blood feud. If anyone easily hinders me in this matter, don't blame me for going crazy and killing them all, so the government will probably resist for a while. "
Ning Now people in several nearby states and counties have heard about Yi's plan to break Liangshan, and then came the news that the Su family was wiped out and that he came to seek revenge. In the eyes of some officials, Ning Yi is probably not only difficult to mess with. Evil star, he went crazy on this matter. He now still has a relationship with Qin Siyuan. Even if he is one of the two most powerful officials in Shandong, he may have to weigh the gains and losses if he wants to protect the people of Liangshan. When he mentioned this, Zhu Biao and others laughed.
"With Brother Ning's current momentum in Shandong, who dares to pull out the tiger's beard at this juncture? In recent days, I heard that there are rumors in the green forest that there is an 'inner demon' on the east and west roads of our Shandong."
"It's hard to say for an official, and inner demons are not a good thing..." Ning Yi smiled and shook his head, "Always plan for a rainy day. That's all... We can't afford to drag them now, and Liangshan can't afford to drag them. There are more than three thousand of them. No matter how fierce they are, a bunch of bandits have lost their stronghold and are running away all day long. The officers and soldiers refuse to give up. Everyone around them is shouting for beatings. It lasts a long time. I can't stand it anymore. In short... we still have to rely on everyone to fight. I can only try to drain all the water around them so that they can escape. They come and go, just for the sake of hope, and we will fill in the holes they poke. As long as they don't feel hope, they will collapse faster and faster."
Hu Sanniang on the side. Only then did he smile: "Brother Ning is talking about things in those villages. In the past few days, I heard that several stewards have done a pretty good job. Many people are willing to go to Dulonggang to work, and there are dozens of people who are willing to move there. If Song Jiang and others knew that what they were doing was useless, they would be angry to death. "At this time, Grand Duke Hu of Hujiazhuang. Hu Cheng was all wounded. Hu Sanniang felt sad and only wanted revenge. Only when she talked about things that could make Song Jiang feel depressed, she felt happier.
While they were talking about these things here, in a river valley twenty miles away from Yeya Ridge, the escape team of Song Jiang and others were also discussing similar topics.
In the past few days, Song Jiang and others rushed all the way through Yunzhou. They looted and burned more than a dozen villages in five days. They often burned down the houses after robbing things and hid in the mountains and forests. The remaining 3,000 of them can be considered elites. They can travel across mountains and rivers at extremely fast speeds. They encounter thousands of officers and soldiers at one time and are overrun by them.
This was the initial period of escape for everyone, and morale was still very strong. Song Jiang and others also held their breath because of their previous defeat at the hands of Ning Yi. At this time, they also knew that as long as a village was burned, the government would have an extra burden. Thinking of this, they could unscrupulously look at people's helplessness. , Liangshan is also extremely happy.
"They talk about conspiracy, and ours is also a conspiracy. No matter what, there will definitely be resentment. If the officers and soldiers force us, the trouble will fall on the government. As long as they can't solve us, one day There will be contradictions on both sides. If there is a contradiction, we will be picked out... This question is just a question. Let’s see how they solve it.”
The setting sun was bright red, and the tents were spread out from the valley to the nearby foothills. Wu Yong, Zhu Wu, Song Jiang and others watched as the order in the camp gradually became better, but the morale remained the same. The exciting scene was quite sad, but when he spoke, there was no longer much arrogance.
In the past few days, while they were fleeing, they also began to set strict rules, count people, temporarily disperse the mountains, require the soldiers to enforce orders and prohibitions, etc. At this time, under strong external pressure, these desperate Green Foresters also began to try to abide by these rules.
On the other hand, Wu Yong and others began to tell and publicize their conspiracy to the soldiers in the army. It was easy to switch to battle near Shuibo. As long as they continued to fight, the government would only suffer. Song Jiang, on the other hand, spared no effort to use gentle methods to get close to the leaders and soldiers. He used to be famous as "Timely Rain" in the world, and he was very good at interpersonal communication. He may not be able to do everything in Liangshan with 60,000 people, but now with more than 3,000 people, it is easy for people to feel this The existence of the green forest boss has actually improved morale.
Of course, such morale may be maintained for half a month and a month, but it may not be maintained for a long time. Wu Yong, Zhu Wu and others understand this in their hearts, but they also know that as long as they can maintain it longer than Wurui Camp, things will be better. There can be a turnaround. When this power swells again, a Liangshan team with orders and prohibitions will be enough to fight back and avenge all.
They can only believe in this.
Yangmou versus Yangmou, Wu Yong, Zhu Wu, Song Jiang, and even the more than 3,000 people who fled all realized that this strategy was useful. What they didn't know was that once they burned down a village in the past few days, the first person to rush over was not the government's rescue team, but the Dulonggang team.
First they rescued people, then distributed enough money and supplies for a few days, and then began to instigate. Everyone was harmed by Liangshan, and they were one family. Your house has been burned down and you have nothing to live on. It doesn't matter. Come to Dulonggang to work and you will have money and food. There is still grain to be harvested in your fields. We can temporarily borrow money and grain at fair interest. You can settle down the elderly at home, go to work in Dulonggang, make money, and then come back to build new houses, or you can choose to settle in Dulonggang. And if we do it for a long time, I, Dulonggang, will have several benefits...etc.
Residents’ grievances will only turn completely towards the government when they are truly desperate and no one is willing to take care of them. During the Battle of Dulonggang, Zhu and Hu Erzhuang happened to lose a lot of manpower. After the people's houses in these villages were destroyed, Dulonggang's relief team followed them. At the same time, it aroused everyone's hostility. The blood feud against the people of Liangshan was probably It won’t be broken up for a few more years.
There are still not many people in more than a dozen villages, but in a sense, this model is almost similar to a replica of capital accumulation during the European Industrial Revolution in later generations. Farmers joined industry after losing their land. Dulonggang went all the way to buy the bottom, and at the same time threw all the resentment that Song Jiang and others thought would arouse back at them. A few days later, when the people of Liangshan, who had been enthusiastically burning, killing and looting, sent people out for the first time to check the situation of the resentment, the news of the feedback really shocked Wu Yong and Zhu Wu.
That night, after Ye Yaolingjian finished explaining the matter, Ning Yi went to the many bankers who came this time to chat and cheer them up: "I told you before! This battle After that, you are the most capable team in Shandong! Who wants to challenge me? ”
In fact, Luan Tingyu, Zhu Biao and others have been cultivating the morale of these people in the past few days. The victory of Dulonggang, the subsequent defeat of Liangshan, coupled with the hatred in their hearts , has indeed brought the combat power of more than two thousand people to a very high level. There was a lot of joking and joking that night, and when Ning Yi could calm down again, it was already late at night, and the tension that had been accumulating since the fifth day of June... and even earlier had subsided a little.
I have been in a high-pressure state for more than a month. First, I have to constantly deliberate and calculate, and then I have to hold almost every clue in my hand for high-intensity planning. I don't have much time to sleep every day. This is not the craziest working state he has ever had. He still maintains a strong sense of mental hunger. The enemy is not completely cornered yet, and he will never want to stop. Everything in the entire spiritual field is still invading and invading. , aggressive state, but physically, there will still be some fatigue after all.
At this point, the strategic arrangements are finally in place. Next, I may only need to check for leaks and fill in the gaps. As for the use of the other party's spies, it is also a matter of tactical level, and it is more about adapting to changes. , the brain power will not be stretched to the previous state. Ning Yi blew the wind outside the tent. In fact, the work this time was not really a large-scale battle level. It was just that he had not yet established a professional enough operation team. Everything needed to be done by himself, so that was all he could do. Son.
"I really admire what you have done these days." Wang Shanyue, who walked over not far away, smiled at him, "I originally thought that after Song Jiang and the others escaped, you would use more exaggerated tricks, but look So far, these are really like...a net."
"The stories are all used by storytellers to deceive people, just to comfort themselves for those who want to get something for nothing and are unwilling to work hard. ."rather Yi twisted his neck and looked at the camp in the night, "Everything in the world is in order. To break the siege of Dulonggang, just defeat the Liangshan people. How to defeat them? Make them weak internally, and always have to defeat them externally." Fight. How to weaken them internally, make them split, and destroy their morale, the methods can be varied. The principle is actually very simple, just do it step by step."
"Now. Likewise, I only let them feel three things. First, the government would never dare to surrender them. Second, if they shout for beatings, we will definitely bite them to death. Third, what they do is of no use. It's all about the battlefield." Ning Yi shook his head, "I never accept tricks. Nothing is a trick, it's just a way to do things well. I can really do what I want to do step by step. All conspiracies are tricks. If you can’t do things well, it’s useless to have any tricks.”
Wang Shanyue is now considered a member of his team. After Ning Yi said this, he smiled. Laughing: "Of course, everyone sees things differently. If you treat it as a conspiracy, it's okay to treat it this way."
"I'm just a little curious about what you think about Dulonggang."
After all, Wang Shanyue was considered a member of the government, and he was worried about the people in Dulonggang. Ning Yi glanced at him, thought for a while, and considered his words.
"I am a businessman. After revenge, I will do business after all. There are too many places in Shandong that the government cannot control, and Liangshan has been eliminated. No matter whether the killing is clean this time, the power will Reshuffle the cards. I hope they can become another Zengtou City. "We have a relationship and the business will be good." Manage the family, but you also said that the Wang family may not be proud of it in the capital now. Your Wang family is famous and well-connected, and you have a family of women and children to raise and protect. You all cooperate well. Do you want to become a shareholder? "
"I promise not to do anything too extreme... I promise to make money. Think about it?"
Ning Yi raised his hand with a smile, the temptation in his tone was like a devil who knows people's hearts. Wang Shanyue originally came to say this because she was a little concerned about the Sanguang area and did not want Dulonggang to become another Liangshan. But when she arrived, her eyes suddenly became confused. In fact, although he has a good brain, he received a very formal Confucian education since he was a child. Although he was later forced to eat people to increase his deterrence, in many places in his heart, he always insisted on the correct way of Confucianism.
But after the Wang family arrived in the capital, adhering to the right path may not necessarily make the family prosperous. Even if a woman in a family recruits several men to support her family, to be honest, except for the favor and fame that Wang Qisong accumulated in the past, the Wang family may not really be living well. As the only man in the family, Wang Shanyue was forced to this level for his own reason.
"Wha, what..."
"Ha, it's a business matter after all, let's talk about it later. Don't worry, I will never let you disgrace the family name. The Su family here is not famous, and there is a Wang family My name is easier to talk to officials outside of Shandong, otherwise I would have to Please help Mr. Qin introduce others." Ning Yi laughed, then looked into the distance, his eyes cold, "But these are things for the future, let's kill all those people first."
He paused, patted Wang Shanyue on the shoulder, turned and walked away. Wang Shanyue stood there with a frown, looking at the direction Ning Yi left, and was confused for a while.
But...I really want to say it now...
He stayed there for a while, and finally laughed and patted his forehead, feeling like he was being tricked, but also like Instigated. However, in his heart, he does have a desire to make his family live a better life. It has been burning hot, but now it is gradually getting hot again...
