Chapter 652 Mo Chao is dying?
What kind of Yao Gu is in Futai? Of course, Gao Wushi still can't answer this question, but he doesn't intend to hide this one, so he said directly: "This matter is still in the stage of verification, but there is a safe The method of seeking proof, I believe it will not take long to get the result.”

With Gao Wushi's answer like this, Young Master Cen Qi knew it in his heart, and he thought: It seems that Gao Wushi is indeed investigating this matter, but he came to Guangxi too late after all, and this matter may have just started, but the current problem The reason is that the time Zhang Ren can persist is running out.

Although Young Master Cen Qi is not very clear about the division of those factions in the imperial court, at least one thing is clear now: Zhang Ren advocates the conversion of the Bazhai area to the local people, and although Gao Yushi has not made a clear statement so far, the report released by Liuzhou The rumors showed that he was also probably in favor of reforming the soil and returning to the locals, and now there is another evidence, that is, he is investigating the "cause" for Zhang Ren, that is, the Gu incident.

From this, it can be inferred that Gao's pragmatic attitude should be consistent with Zhang Ren's. In other words, he and Zhang Ren are comrades-in-arms on the same front.

The ownership of the Bazhai area is of course important, and the outside world believes that neither the Cen family nor the Huang family can tolerate the Bazhai area being sent to Liuguan.But Young Master Cen Qi knew that he could completely give up the Bazhai area.

Because conditions do not allow him to persist!

At the meeting of the four chieftains by Longshou Lake that day, the reason why he was able to restrain his emotions and let the Zhao family supported by Huang Zhiting get his approval was also because the conditions did not allow it.

The Cen family in Sicheng is in danger of being upside down, so how can they care about a land of eight villages?
After all, the land of Bazhai was originally controlled by the Southern Danwei of the imperial court in name, but in fact it was almost governed by the Yao people. Is there any such thing as Liangjiang chieftain here?
The most important reason why the chieftain of Liangjiang is not willing to see the imperial court directly governing Bazhai is that he does not want to see the further expansion of the imperial power in Guangxi, but the situation is different now. His Cen family in Sicheng is in a mess. The land of Eight Villages a hundred miles away?

Taking a step back, the land of Bazhai is just a state. If the court has one more state and one less state, does it really have such a big impact?This is too alarmist, right?As long as the imperial court still believes that it is not cost-effective to directly rule the Zuojiang area, and the chieftain needs to suppress the localities without causing more trouble to the court, the imperial court will not forcibly promote this kind of direct administration to the Zuojiang area.

In the final analysis, the thinking of the imperial court is actually clear to both sides: to engage in cannibalization, not to engage in swallowing.

Although swallowing a whale sounds majestic, in fact it may choke to death!
In Guangxi, the tax paid by the entire province is not as good as that of Suzhou, but what cost does the imperial court need to rule Suzhou?How much money has the imperial court spent in Guangxi every year?
The regular tax paid by Suzhou Prefecture is almost 30 taels a year, but what about Guangxi?Now it costs 30 taels a year!
This is still in the case that the imperial court only directly governs half of Guangxi. If the chieftain is forcibly annexed and all the land is reformed across the board, let alone 30 taels, 60 won't be able to beat it, and even 100 million taels a year will be used for cooking. It is not impossible to suppress the military pay for the rebellion in Guangxi!
Guangxi sends out good soldiers, that's really no joke.This point is not only clear to Cen Ling and other Guangxi chieftains, in fact, Gao Pragmatism knows it better than them!

Gao Yushi had attended a party school before, and he knew that during the War of Liberation, a general with great military exploits and who "specialized in fighting immortal battles" had given such instructions to his subordinates: "To distinguish the elite troops in the Guomindang army, One depends on the equipment, American equipment must be the elite troops; the other depends on the accent, the troops with Guangxi accent must also be elite troops. If they have both American equipment and Guangxi accent, they are definitely the elite of the GUO Kuomintang army. "

If this is not enough to explain the problem, then the famous Dabie Mountain army has a clear combat idea to prove it: first fight the miscellaneous army, then attack the central army, and avoid the Guangxi army.

The most interesting thing is that 18 of the 16 warriors who were forced to cross the Dadu River by the Red Army were from Guangxi, and 22 of the 17 warriors who captured the Luding Bridge were also from Guangxi.

Therefore, from the point of view of governance, maintaining stability in Guangxi is the general direction, because if something goes wrong... let alone other things, the household department will be the first to bleed!
Anyway, looking at it now, the boy chieftain generally listens to greetings!The wolf soldiers said they would be recruited, and they still brought their own dry food for the expedition, and they didn't even need to pay money. Why did they push them back against such easy-going subordinates?

Therefore, Cen Ling was very sure that even if they did not fight for the land of the Bazhai, the imperial court would not underestimate the role of the chieftain because of this, and abandon the chieftain all at once to reform the land and return it to the people.

Besides, he had already given Huang Zhiting a step, even if the imperial court directly governed Bazhai, shouldn't it be that Huang Zhiting was not happy in the first place, why is he in a hurry?
Of course, he didn't know about the agreement reached between Huang Zhiting and the Zhao family, and Huang Zhiting didn't really care much about the land of Bazhai, the Longzhou she wanted.

Young Master Cen Qi said with a heavy look on his face, "According to Taiwan, Futai's condition cannot be delayed any longer... I think it is necessary to find out the truth earlier."

Gao Wushi just wanted to tell Cen Ling, don't think that without you, I can't find out the problem.Cen Ling's answer was that it would be more efficient to have me.

The bottom line is clear, so we can have a good talk, Gao Wushi smiled: "Well, Mr. Seventh Cen is right. In that case, Mr. Seventh might as well tell me who is doing the tricks... As for Mr. Seventh Of course, I will help with what I said."

At any rate, Gao Yushi was also the number one scholar of the Sixth Scholar and a close minister of the emperor. For the time being, Cen Ling still believed in his credibility. Now that he said so, Cen Ling had no choice but to believe it, so he said, "The Gu in Futai was caused by the envoy of Mo Chao." Some of the ministers moved their hands and feet."

Gao Yushi's pupils shrank slightly, and asked, "How did the seventh son know?"

Young Master Cen Qi didn't hide anything, and said: "The Chieftain of the Mo Clan in Xincheng has always been close to my Cen Clan, and they and Mo Chao...uh, they were considered to be of the same clan in the past. They have some connections and know some inside information."

Gao Wu said sincerely: "Young Master Cen Qi is a bit ruthless when you sell your teammates. This news alone is enough for the imperial court to take over Mo's chieftain."

However, he might have misunderstood Cen Ling, because Cen Ling answered immediately: "Master Mo was terrified when he heard the news, and he didn't dare to risk betraying his clan to report to Futai and Press Taiwan, so he had to pass the news on." Tell the subordinates, and the subordinates will convey it to them..."

The chieftain of Mo's family only has Xincheng County, and he doesn't pay much attention to high pragmatism, so he might as well give Cen Ling a face, and waved his hand indifferently: "Since they didn't know about it and didn't report it, this matter can be temporarily suspended. Don't pursue it."

"However." Gao Wushi suddenly made a turning point: "It is somewhat incomprehensible that, even if the Mo clan and Mo Chaonai belong to the same clan, after all, they have been separated for many years. How could the Mo clan do such a rebellious thing? Does the chieftain know?"

Young Master Cen Qi explained: "The officials are about to report this matter. The reason why Mo's chieftains are so anxious is because they were deceived by Mo Chao in this matter, and they did something bad inadvertently."

Gao Wushi frowned: "What do you mean by that, what did they do?"

Young Master Cen Qi sighed, and said: "Before the Bazhai Rebellion, although my imperial court's heavenly soldiers had achieved brilliant results and wiped out the rebel bandits in Bazhai, there were still many powerful people among the Bazhai Yao people who fled away. Someone concealed their identity, pretended to be Yao people from other areas, and defected to the nearby Xincheng County. There are a few people who can make Yao Gu here, and they were taken in by the Mo family... Later, Mo Chao got the news for some reason, It took a few days to find Mo Shi, but Mo Shi gave it up for the sake of the same clan."

Gao Pragmatic doesn’t need him to continue editing the following words—this is obviously because Mo Chao spent money to buy a few masters who can use Gu from Mo’s chieftain to harm Zhang Ren. Mo’s chieftain is either pretending not to know, or It is simply not to report the knowledge, and let Mo Chao do whatever he wants.Of course, it is also possible that they did not expect that Mo Chao would make such a large deal.

It's just that there is a very critical problem here that cannot be explained.

Gao Yushi interrupted Young Master Cen Qi, and asked: "There is no need to talk about the fault of Mo's chieftain for the time being. It is Mo Chao who I can't figure out now. Did they take the wrong medicine? The so-called 'Qian Wang' who is in charge of his own army Mo Jingdian just died of illness, they didn't prevent Li Chao from sneaking in, but came to tease my Daming's beard, could it be that they were worried that the death would not be miserable enough?"
