Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 589
Wang Yingxiong went to Wen Tiren and Hou Xun a little angrily, and told them the situation he had learned in detail, and the faces of the two turned pale.At the end, he said very angrily: "The martial artist and the rebels clearly wore the same pair of pants. They sang together and made the whole world look like idiots! If the martial artist's plot succeeds, the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed, and catastrophe will not be far away! "

Hou Xun's hands trembled slightly, and he said, "Isn't Mr. Wang a little alarmist? It should be known that recruiting the Huguang rebels was a national policy set last year, and the champion Hou just acted according to plan..."

Wang Yingxiong yelled: "This is not the way to recruit the rebels! The Huguang rebels have millions of people, and they swept Jianghan within a year. How powerful, the warriors easily regained Jingxiang without a single battle. Is everyone in the world blind?" He stood up excitedly, patted the table lightly, and said: "The Huguang rebels destroyed the state and slaughtered the city, slaughtered countless scholars, gentry, vassal kings and officials. That's too much! That martial artist is colluding with these butchers, what on earth is he trying to do? We must stop him, otherwise great disaster will strike Da Ming!"

Wen Tiren frowned and asked: "Then, what should we do in your opinion?"

Wang Yingxiong said: "Death remonstrance! Mobilize all officials and censors to remonstrate with death, let the emperor arrest the warrior and question him, at least withdraw him, and send good generals to quell the Huguang rebellion!"

Hou Xun clapped his hands together and said with a smile: "Zuo Liangyu, the general of the Changping Army, is brave and good at fighting. He is brave and resourceful, and can be used to great effect. With him in charge, it is not difficult to put down the Huguang rebellion."

Wen Tiren said: "The Huguang rebels are quite fierce, and Zuo Liangyu alone may not be enough."

Hou Xun said: "Liu Zeqing, the commander-in-chief of Linqing, is versatile in both civil and military affairs and can be reused. With these two people, we will not be afraid of injustice in Huguang." These two were promoted by him, and they are considered good talents. However, Yang Menglong and Lu Xiangsheng The light of the army is too dazzling. Whether it is fighting slaves or quelling civil strife, no one can match its outstanding military achievements. For example, the Denglai Rebellion was originally the battle that brought Liu Zeqing's rise to power, but in the end Yang Menglong was able to quell it with three strikes, five divisions, and two. As a result, Liu Zeqing had no chance to shine at all and only gained a small amount of military exploits, not to mention how depressed he was.They would never dare to let these two go to Liaodong to fight against the slaves, but it would be okay to let them bully the rebels. Hou Xun had already thought about how many palaces the Huguang rebels swept across the Jianghan Plain and looted. The property seized from the government's house was piled high like a mountain. If Zuo Liangyu and Liu Zeqing could quell the Huguang Rebellion, the seizures would be astonishing. They had made a fortune, but how could they not benefit from him as a civil servant?This is called convenience for others and convenience for yourself.

Wen Tiren thought further.Yang Menglong and Lu Xiangsheng's limelight is too strong. Yang Menglong's style has put himself on the opposite side of traditional literati from the beginning. Although Lu Xiangsheng is a literati, he has no literati's strength. It is definitely not a good thing for them to control the military power in the world. It is really necessary to support a few generals to come out to compete with them.Both Zuo Liangyu and Liu Zeqing are pretty good at fighting, well, let them try.

As for Zuo Liangyu and Liu Zeqing's habit of killing good people for credit and looting the countryside, they were completely ignored... Anyway, no matter how much they rob, they can't get over him!
The next day when he went to the court, the censor officials who had been pointed out came out in a swarm, and angrily accused Yang Menglong of supporting the enemy and supporting the bandits. Such surrender without a fight is an act that harms the country. Huguang Rebellion.They said angrily that there was nothing wrong with recruiting the Huguang rebels, but the Huguang rebels killed so many gentry, officials, vassals, kings and merchants, and it is absolutely impossible not to let them pay a little price. What Yang Menglong did is tantamount to encouraging the people to rebel. If the people in all provinces follow suit, there will be great chaos in the world!
"It must be suppressed with thunderous means, and all illusions of the rioters must be cut off, so as to ensure that the Ming Dynasty will last forever!"

No matter what time it is, these guys are always so impassioned, like a group of cuckoos calling for spring.But now Chongzhen only thinks that they are so annoying. These guys are too selfish. They are all focused on making things bigger and messing up, so as to get benefits from it. As for how to end up after they get rid of it, they have never thought about it ———Isn’t there still a court!After being on the throne for so many years, he has seen through them!

Fu Zonglong came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, absolutely not! Focusing on appeasement is a strategy that was set up last year. How can it be easily changed?"

Zhang Zhengchen, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, sneered: "Fu Shangshu's words are wrong! The Huguang rebels naturally wanted to appease them, but the Huguang rebels ran amok, slaughtered conscientious squires, scholars and officials, countless relatives of the emperor, and privately divided the vassals and gentry. Livestock, fertile land, money and food, taking away people’s wives and daughters, is full of evil, if the head of the evil cannot be punished, and the people of the world will follow suit, will there be peace in Ming Dynasty?” He said sharply, “Since ancient times, righteousness and evil have been incompatible, Huguang’s rebellion There are many blood debts in the hands of the army, and they must be settled, and the people of Huguang should be repaid, otherwise..."

Fu Zonglong became a little angry: "Zhang Shilang, it doesn't matter if you settle the matter like this, it will only force the Huguang rebels to fight with their lives, and the whole Huguang will be smashed! What's more, as long as someone with a heart provokes a little, they have already surrendered." The trapped rogues, rabbits and foxes are sad to die, and if they come down and turn back, the entire Central Plains will be smashed to pieces!"

Zhang Zhengchen snorted coldly: "Aren't there still Tianxiong Army and Heluo New Army? How big a wave can a mere rogue bandit make?"

Fu Zonglong was so angry that he almost vomited blood, so he just wanted to show off and asked Tianxiong Army and Heluo New Army to help him clean up the mess, good guy, the standard Ming Dynasty scholar-bureaucrat did it!Chongzhen also glared at Zhang Zhengchen, he was frightened by the ruthlessness of the rogue bandits crossing the border like a beacon fire and locusts, but this old man just wanted to liquidate what the Huguang rebels had done, even if they forced the rogue bandits back again No hesitation!

Liquidate your sister!

Wu Zongda, Zhang Zhifa and others also spoke up one after another, thinking that Yang Menglong's practice of fully accepting the rebels' demands without firing a bullet was not advisable, and they must be given some color.The meeting quickly turned into a quarrel, a group of beasts in clothes and clothes were arguing red-faced, the moderate group thought that Yang Menglong should be let go, let's not care about so much, let the chaos in Huguang be settled, and the radical group thought that Yang Menglong should punish the culprit and recover No one can convince anyone of the fertile fields of property that were robbed by officials, gentry and feudal kings.Everyone quarreled so fiercely, so emotionally, that the Shanxi officials and gentry complained and complained, and they were all thrown aside——Fuck off, Tianxiong Army took back a little bit of Juntian pasture from you. The Huguang rebels who killed thousands of officials and vassals have not been cleaned up yet, who is in the mood to care about your crap!

The quarrel lasted for more than half a month.Nowadays, civil and military officials are divided into two factions. One side is the Wen faction, which is determined to launch a liquidation against the Huguang rebels, and the other is the Fu faction, which firmly supports Yang Menglong. They are quarreling with each other.While they were arguing, the Heluo new army was triumphant all the way in the Jianghan Plain, and wherever they went, the Huguang rebels offered their cities and surrendered one after another.And Yang Menglong is also very kind. As long as the rebels lay down their weapons, they can go home without any embarrassment, and their fields and property will not be affected in any way. Most of their county officials, township chiefs, and village chiefs continue to serve, so they can do whatever they want, Heluo The mood of the people in the areas controlled by the New Army was stable, and the people in the areas that had not yet surrendered were equally happy. They all said that the champion was trustworthy and that they could finally live a good life.How stable is it?It was so stable that many ordinary people didn't feel any difference from before except seeing the flag of Ming Dynasty hanging up again at the city gate!
Of course, the people in Hunan were even more joyful and excited.Damn it, the fields will not be taken back!Damn it, good officials will not be replaced!With such favorable conditions, why not take action quickly and destroy her, and then everyone can divide their fields and live a good life!When the Heluo New Army sent troops, the local tyrants and evil gentry in Hunan were quite excited, thinking that the hard days were finally over, but they soon discovered that this was not something to be happy about. Not only were the rebels not afraid, but they also followed They were as excited as taking medicine, and the place that was originally relatively stable suddenly turned upside down. Everyone was focused on securing more territory and dividing more fields before the Heluo New Army came. If they missed it, there would be no store in the village.

The local tyrants and evil gentry in Hunan suffered eight lifetimes of bad luck!They wanted to cry, but they just wanted to grab Yang Menglong's skirt and ask: Can you trick me a little more?

Yang Menglong said that his skills are limited, and he can only do this for the time being, but I will continue to work hard!

While the court was quarreling, the Heluo New Army had already arrived in Wuhan, and the speed was staggering - it took Qin Mai and Wang Rui half a year to reach Wuhan.The offensive and defensive battle in Wuhan was just like the Battle of Jingxiang. Everyone negotiated terms, Yang Menglong wrote a letter of guarantee, and then fired a few cannons on the city wall as a souvenir. Then, the three towns of Wuhan were obtained, which was very boring.The only thing that can surprise everyone is probably the Wuhan Shipyard: there, the keel of a treasure ship is being laid.This treasure ship is a giant ship that was restored by the craftsmen after pooling their collective wisdom and based on the drawings left behind and the experience passed down by their ancestors. Its design displacement reached an astonishing 28 tons, which is more than enough to carry a thousand people!In order to make the huge hull as strong as possible, this invincible giant ship made the extravagant use of steel as its keel and main structure, which undoubtedly caused its cost to skyrocket.Its firepower is also very powerful. The bow of the ship alone will be equipped with six naval guns. Together with the left and right sides and the stern, the number of naval guns will reach a crazy [-]!Of course, if you include the two rocket launchers, it will be even more terrifying. It is completely a mobile maritime fort!Yang Menglong stood on the dock, watching the workers busy in the dock like hard-working worker ants. He was extremely excited and shouted: "Hurry up and become full of flesh and blood, my Cybertron!"

Han Peng asked Fang Yizhi in a low voice: "Master Fang, you are very knowledgeable, can you tell me what Cybertron is?"

Fang Yizhi rolled his eyes: "The devil knows!" Looking at the keel laid out little by little with steel, and calculating the size of the giant ship according to the size of the keel, he smeared his beard and smiled, saying: "Good ship, Good ship, with this gigantic ship, one can imitate Lord Three Treasures’ seven voyages to the West, and even sail the ship to farther places in Thailand and West, and trade with them!”

Yang Menglong chuckled: "That's right, it's a good idea to drive the warship to block up their port, and then negotiate with them!"

Fang Yizhi scolded angrily: "You bastard, you will never change your nature of being a bastard!"

Yang Menglong shrugged, you already called me a jerk, how can you still expect me to be a modest gentleman?Besides, the navy is used to grab territory and money. It has always been like this. If you can't grab territory and money, only a ghost is willing to spend money to raise this gold-eating beast!
In addition to this frighteningly large treasure ship, there are several [-]-ton warships under construction at full capacity, and the progress is much faster. The technology is all ready. The workers only regret that the days are too short and the funds are scarce. Sufficient, with such good conditions, what reason is there to be unhappy?These battleships are all members of the Transformers fleet, Bumblebee, Shockwave, Megatron, Iron Eater, Thunderwing King... Just hearing their names makes them look domineering.They will be equipped with the most powerful, longest-range, and most ferocious naval guns of this era. They will travel across the seven seas and fight against thousands of miles of waves, fighting those who are not diligent, not lazy, and those who are short-sighted.

Looking at these warships thriving in the dock, the Heluo new army was extremely excited.They clearly felt that their future would never be limited to this piece of land. With the gradual formation of warships, a wider world would slowly unfold in front of them, waiting for them to explore and conquer.
