lied to Kangxi

Chapter 1006 Nian Gengyao's Brother Yunzhen

To catch a thief and reward five taels of silver is not to go into the mountains to catch a thief.

Instead, in the market far away from the mountains, as long as the thief is identified clearly, five taels of silver will be rewarded.

As we all know, if bandits want to escape the encirclement and suppression of the officers and soldiers, they will inevitably send spies to sneak into the nearby market towns, or even county towns or prefectures, in order to inquire about the movements of the officers and soldiers.

In The Legend of the Condor Heroes, Huang Rong and Guo Jing had a casual meal for ten taels of silver, which is too exaggerated.

However, in Ganzhou, the price of rice is two to three silver coins per stone, and one stone is 120 catties.

Five taels of silver can buy 25 shi of grain at most, and at least [-] shi of grain.

There are many poor people in the mountainous area of ​​southern Gansu, and five taels of silver is roughly equivalent to three to four years' total income.

As long as you help identify someone, you can get four years of income for nothing, which is already a great reward.

Why do you do this?
Hehe, this starts with the composition of Nian Gengyao's subordinates.

Nian Gengyao's subordinates were almost all Green Battalion soldiers from the Shaanxi-Gansu area.

Not to mention anything else, the accent alone is very different from the locals.

In addition, the Green Battalion soldiers wore uniforms, covered their heads with cloth, and their arms were barely tanned.

The farmers who actually cultivate the land are all wearing sunshade hats and shoulderless double-breasted gowns to work in the fields.

To put it bluntly, as long as you roll up your sleeves, if you are not tanned, you are definitely not a good person.

Yuzhu took out a booklet from his cuff, gently pushed it in front of He Wenda, and said: "Look carefully, just follow the instructions."

He Wenda curiously picked up the pamphlet, and saw a few big characters flying in front of him: Outline for Suppressing Thieves.

Yuzhu instructed: "The most important thing is to move out all the people who are within [-] miles of the mountain. Anyone who is not willing to move out will be regarded as a bandit and killed."

In troubled times, heavy codes must be used!
These days, there is an old saying, which is particularly vivid, traitors come out of poor mountains and rivers!

According to Yuzhu's experience in suppressing thieves in western Hunan, there are almost no good people living in the mountains.There are basically only two possibilities for these people, the thieves' eyeliner, or the thieves.

Killing one by one, it is almost impossible to be wronged!
Why?

The truth is actually very simple, serious farmers, who would dare to approach places where bandits are haunted?
Based on Yuzhu's rich experience, the closer the residents are to the mountain, the more problems they have.

Following Yuzhu's order, the new army began to create a [-]-mile no-man's land along the mountain.

Residents who are close to the mountain are all objects that must be relocated.

Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed on the spot!

"You bastards, let people live, I will fight with you!"

Someone refused to accept it, raised a machete, and rushed towards the soldiers of the new army.

The company commander Zhang Qiang ordered coldly: "Raise the gun and fire!"

"Papa papa..." After the volley of guns rang out, the man immediately fell into a pool of blood.

Company commander Zhang Qiang sternly yelled, "Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed!"

"Are you still speaking unreasonably?"

"Reasonable? Let's talk after we go to Ganzhou Mansion." Zhang Qiang waved his hand, and the soldiers of the new army rushed forward with bayonet-mounted rifles, and tied up everyone in front of them.

Any policy decision will definitely sacrifice the interests of some people.

Those who are willing to migrate honestly will be given rations on the road by the new army.After moving to the destination, farm tools, seeds and fields will be distributed, cattle will be lent free of charge, and no tax will be paid for three years.

Those who were unwilling to move away were all arrested, and those who were tied up were forcibly taken away and sent to sea ships in Nanyang.

Those who dare to resist will be killed directly!
After arresting all the people, Zhang Qiang ordered that all the houses be burned down, and all the fields that had been planted were trampled down with war horses.

To put it bluntly, even a grain of rice is not left for the fourth child.

In fact, there are not many households close to the mountains.Near the huge mountainous area, there are only a few thousand people at best.

Yuzhu has experience in suppressing thieves in the western part of Yuanyuan. These thousands of people will pretend to be obedient people when the harvest is good.Once there is a natural disaster, he is a proper bandit.

Today's new army is still full of vitality and extremely efficient.

When Lao Si and Nian Gengyao got the news, the residents near the exit of the mountain area were already empty.

"Lianggong, I have a hunch that Yuzhu should have arrived in Ganzhou." Old Siming knew that Nian Gengyao's face had turned dark, but he acted as if he hadn't seen it.

At the beginning, when the old fourteenth wanted to raise troops to serve the king, the fourth one tried hard to persuade Nian Gengyao to join forces and overthrow the jade pillar first.

However, Nian Gengyao refused to listen to it, and insisted on sending troops out of Henan in an attempt to occupy land with food.

In Shaanxi and Gansu, the land is barren and the water source is dry. Even if food is planted, the harvest is appallingly low.

Old Fourteen has 10,000+ people, and Nian Gengyao also has 8 people. The Shaanxi-Gansu region simply cannot support so many people.

Well now, the 8000 elite green battalion soldiers died or scattered, leaving seven to eight thousand people.

All fools know that the general trend is over.

However, no matter how difficult and bitter it was, the fourth child never thought of surrendering Yu Zhu.

The old emperor's own son, the majestic Prince Yong who was once only one step away from the throne, even if he had to die, he had to die with dignity!
To tell the truth, if Yu Zhu hadn't cheated his death, the fourth child wouldn't have the guts to poison the old emperor to death.

In the final analysis, Yuzhu's feigned death played a great catalytic role.

Of course, the current fourth child has already figured it out. With Wu Sidao, the biggest traitor, he is not wronged for losing.

The fourth child has already figured it out. As early as more than ten years ago, Yu Zhu had laid out a deep situation, just waiting to trap him.

Nian Gengyao frowned, and asked the fourth child, "Is Yuzhu really here?"

"It's really here." The fourth child heaved a long breath and analyzed, "It wasn't for the arrival of Yuzhu, the new army couldn't have moved so quickly. , all forcibly moved away?"

"Besides, besides Yu Zhu, who else has such courage?" Nian Gengyao also felt that it was very reasonable after the fourth analysis.

"Brother-in-law, what is Yuzhu's purpose in doing this?" Nian Gengyao resumed calling her brother-in-law.

The fourth child glanced at Nian Gengyao, and said to himself, it is not easy for Nian Gengyao to admit that he is his brother-in-law again!

Since the fourth son went to join Nian Gengyao, he was the honorable King Yong at first, then the fourth son, and then brother Yunzhen.

There is no way, the hair-shedding phoenix is ​​not as good as the chicken.

Who said that the fourth brother failed to seize the throne?

In ancient and modern China and abroad, it is the logic of success and defeat, without exception!

Almost at the same time, Yuzhu, accompanied by Jiangxi governor Wang Qixuan, was strolling on the streets of Ganzhou.

Wang Qixuan, a native of Xiongxian County, Zhili Province, was a Jinshi in the 24th year of Kangxi.

Speaking of it, what is more interesting is that Wang Qixuan's biological mother was actually the granddaughter of Sun Chengzong, a famous minister in the late Ming Dynasty.

Sun Chengzong was not only the teacher of the carpenter emperor, but also a famous imperial official.

The captive here naturally refers to Jiannu.

In the 11th year of Chongzhen (1638), Jiannu broke through the Great Wall and drove straight into Beizhili.

Sun Chengzong led his family to guard Gaoyang. When the city was broken, he was captured and hanged himself to death.His five sons, six grandsons, two nephews, and eight grandnephews all died in battle.

It can be described as full of heroism and glory!

However, what made the elders of the Ming Dynasty sigh most was that Yue Zhongqi, the descendant of the famous anti-golden general Yue Fei, turned out to be a loyal general of the late Jin Dynasty.

This is really unreasonable!
Thinking of Yue Zhongqi, Yuzhu felt a little strange, this kid disappeared without a trace, and there was no news at all.

Wang Qixuan followed Yuzhu step by step, and behind him, he also followed Jiangxi's chief envoy, press envoy, Jinan Ganning Road, Ganzhou magistrate, and Ganxian county magistrate.

Not long after Yuzhu slipped out from the back door of the government office, Wang Qixuan spotted him.

Then, Wang Qixuan followed Yuzhu like a dog's skin plaster, and kept looking for something to say.

Yuzhu originally wanted to visit in private, but felt uncomfortable being followed by so many people, so he wanted to dismiss the Jiangxi officials and let them do what they should.

"Brother Biyuan, I'm just an idler. If you're busy with business, you can do whatever you want." Yuzhu already hinted very clearly.

However, Wang Qixuan said: "If you go back to the king, the humble official has already dealt with all the official duties, and I can concentrate on walking around with you, take a look."

Yuzhu stopped in her tracks and looked at Wang Qixuan in surprise.

Good guy, in so many years of official career, this is the first time that Yuzhu has seen a red-capped high-ranking official who can be as shameless as Zhao Donghe.

Zhao Donghe's shamelessness is boundless.

He is obviously a senior, but he claims to be a senior.

Because of Yuzhu's concubine Lin Yan'er, Zhao Donghe tried every means to divorce his first wife and promoted Lin Yan'er's sister as his first wife.

How could a decent person do such a disgraceful thing?

Unexpectedly, after arriving in Ganzhou, Yuzhu met the governor of a province who could compete with Zhao Donghe.

The governor of a province, the chief official of the frontier, lived in eight seats, majestic and majestic.

However, when he was in front of Yu Zhu, he was more docile than a kitten.

This shows the great magic power of power.

Nowadays, anyone who doesn't know that Manchuria's life is over is a big fool.

Yu Zhu, who is about to ascend the throne, now that he is on Wang Qixuan's territory, he is naturally reluctant to give up any chance to please him.

Wang Qixuan is not an ordinary person, he is a big official in the frontier, Yuzhu can't just drive him out regardless of face, right?
Seeing Yuzhu continue to walk forward, Wang Qixuan secretly heaved a sigh of relief, it's okay, it's okay, if he didn't lose his temper and drive people away, there is hope for that matter!

"Your Majesty, Ganzhou was called 'Qianzhou' in ancient times, and because it is located at the source of Ganjiang River, it was called 'the first city of Ganjiang River for thousands of miles'." Wang Qixuan, who had received tacit approval, gathered his spirits and worked extremely hard to give Yuzhu acted as a tour guide, "My lord, Bajing Terrace in Ganzhou was first built in the Jiayou period of the Northern Song Dynasty. There is no more, so it is named Bajingtai..."

"To tell you the truth, the eight sceneries of Ganzhou in the Song Dynasty were: Shilou, Zhanggong Terrace, Baique Tower, Zaogai Tower, Yugu Terrace, Mazuyan, Chenwai Pavilion and Fengshan. In this dynasty, due to changes in the landscape , The eight sceneries seen on Bajingtai are: three tripod stand, two water circulation, Yuyan Yeyue, Baogai Chaoyun, Chutan Xiaojing, Tianzhu Qinglan, Ma Ya Zen Shadow, Yanta Wenfeng... "

Yuzhu slowly heard what Wang Qixuan meant, maybe there are surprises waiting for him in Bajingtai, right?

What is it?Yuzhu had a little expectation.
