As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

Liu Qiran was taken aback for a moment, then widened his eyes: "What...is there anything else?"

"Master Liu is confused?" Hua Manlou blinked: "As I said before, this matter originated from my two questions. Why did Qian Dapeng dare to attack the guards, and why did he know six Wei's supplies are all in Chongming?"

"It's...it's you!" Liu Qiran roared, pointing at Wang Jin and roaring, "It's you scum!"

Hua Manlou shrugged: "Why can't you hold your breath? How about waiting for me to finish the details? Mr. Liu Fu, you can still scold and get angry when you know about this, but I knew that day. After this incident, I was almost so angry that I drove west..."

Liu Qiran roared: "Say it!"

Hua Manlou sighed and said, "Think about it, when the Six Guards temporarily supported Songjiang and Suzhou, it originated from Japanese pirates frequently attacking Jiading and Jinshan, right? But at that time, the losses were so great that Linshan Guard, Haining Guard, Has Shaoxing Weidu summoned you? The Liu family respects you as the magistrate of Suzhou, you don’t know the other places, do you remember what happened in Jiading in June?”

Liu Qiran was trembling with anger: "June... In June, Japanese pirates landed a lot, but they didn't cause too much damage..."

At this time, the commander of Jinghaiwei added: "Indeed, at that time, the subordinate officials frequently took people to Jiading, but every time there was no sign of the Japanese pirates, and it is said that only a few small boats came, and the number of people who landed was no more than Dozens..."

Hua Manlou glanced at him, nodded and said, "That's right, all of this is naturally planned by Wang Fuzun. What he wants is to make others think that Songjiang Mansion is about to fall. After achieving the goal, the six guards will meet in Songjiang Mansion At that time, in accordance with the rule of the country to control military affairs with literature, Wang Fuzun was the highest commander, right? Then, he placed Linshan Guard on Chongming Island, and at the same time forcibly put a large amount of supplies on the island. You think this arrangement is reasonable Is it?"

Jinghaiwei commanded a spirit: "Uncle Xishan means..."

Hua Manlou sighed, "Were you there that day? What did he say?"

Jinghaiwei commanded: "Wang Fuzun said that Chongming Island is safer, so..."

Hua Manlou sneered: "Is it safe? So where is the flat island safe? But because of his arrangement, most of the food and grass and a large amount of military resources of the six guards were placed on Chongming Island, making Qian Dapeng lead people to It was looted!"

Commander Jinghaiwei was still a little dazed: "But...but how can he ensure that the pirates can defeat Linshanwei?"

That said, it is not true that hundreds of Japanese pirates attacked the officers and soldiers who were born to suppress them, not to mention that there were [-] Linshan guards on Chongming Island at that time?

Ten times the number of people, Commander Jinghaiwei couldn't understand how the battle was fought, why did he lose in a daze?

But Hua Manlou cast his eyes on the commander of the Linshan Guard who had been silent all this time, and said sarcastically, "General Fang, what do you think about this?"

"This...I..." The commander named Fang Dayuan was already in a cold sweat: "I don't know..."

Hua Manlou sneered: "If there are no accidents, the position of Commander Linshanwei will be yours next, right? Because you have the recommendation of Wang Fuzun, right?"

Fang Dayuan trembled: "No...not...I didn't cooperate with the enemy..."

Hua Manlou sneered and said, "Did I say you were collaborating with the enemy?"

"Bastards!" Liu Qiran roared again: "You are colluding with Japanese pirates, I...I will definitely report you..."

Hua Manlou stopped him again: "Liu Fuzun, don't be in a hurry. This general is only trying to get promoted, so do you know why Wang Fuzun did this?"

Bloodshot eyes came out of Liu Qiran's eyes: "Say!!!"

Hua Manlou seemed to be smiling: "It's nothing serious, it's just that Commander Linshanwei offended him, and Qian Dapeng's weapons are getting scarcer, and his own ambitions are getting worse and worse. The older he is, the more he is dissatisfied with being a pawn later. In order to appease him, Wang Fuzun arranged such a big show, and this is the whole process."

Speaking of this, Hua Manlou really laughed: "Master Liu, do you think this play is wonderful? I think it is absolutely wonderful!"

(Emma, ​​when I wrote Wokou, I knew it would be heavy, and this plot alone made my head hurt... Finally revealed the answer...)

379 So You Are Such a Mansion

Liu Fuzun felt that it was so wonderful, so wonderful, even if the lungs hurt?

In fact, Huamanlou was quite angry before, if Geng Tiancheng hadn't stopped him to keep witnesses, Qian Dapeng would have been thrown into the sea by Huamanlou to feed the fish.

And after learning the truth of the matter, Hua Manlou was still a little scared: If it wasn't because of the Chashan incident that he decided to suppress the Japanese immediately, I'm afraid Wang Jin would definitely try his best to send the navy's information to Qian Dapeng, so First of all, it is the Tianjin Navy that cannot be attacked at night.And although it is generally possible to win in terms of combat power, the price is definitely not small, at least it will never be as easy as it is now.

When returning from Shengshan, Huamanlou thought that no matter what, he should spread the news about the victory over the Japanese pirates to boost the morale of Zhao's army and civilians, so he spread the news of the victory in Nanhui and Baoshan along the way, and held back It's bad luck not to look for Wang Jin, but who knows that he came here by himself after hearing the news?

What made Huamanlou find it funny was that after seeing him, Wang Jin first encouraged him - judging by his rank, he was indeed qualified to encourage him, and then began to encourage Huamanlou to kill the Japanese pirate prisoners as soon as possible. Intentionally or unintentionally, he asked about Qian Dapeng's whereabouts...

What's even more funny is that Wang Jin actually tried to bribe him, and the price was 10 taels of silver.

To this...

Hua Manlou took the money without any scruples, and then forced someone to drag Liu Qiran, the prefect of Suzhou, to Jiading. By the way, he also tricked Linshanwei Commander Tongzhi into paying homage to the Linshanwei soldiers who died in battle...

Just now when Liu Qiran opened his mouth to stop himself from killing the captives, Hua Manlou immediately understood that Lao Liu and Wang Jin were not the same way, so he exposed Wang Jin's matter on the spot, and finally said: "Master Wang Fu, is there anything I missed? ? Do you add supplements?"

Wang Jin's face was full of sadness: "Since you have found out, why humiliate me?"

"Humiliation? Come, come, come, look, do you see it?" Hua Manlou grabbed him by the neck and walked to the edge of the city wall, pointing at the people below who were crying or crying, and said, "Then Did they provoke you? You not only humiliated them, but also killed their relatives, do you have the face to say humiliation?"

Hua Manlou became more and more annoyed as he spoke. He shook the indifferent Wang Jin desperately and roared, "Have you counted how many people have been killed by this group of pirates? Thousands! Do you know how many thousands are there? Ah ? Mute? Answer me!"

"The young and strong were forced to dig holes after they brought them back. Countless people died of exhaustion and starvation! The young girls were treated as toys by them, and they played with them alive and then dumped their bodies on the deserted island. They managed to rescue a few but hit them to death In front of me! Old people and children were hacked to death by these beasts, even babies, do you think this is their fault or your fault?"

After being suppressed for several days, Huamanlou finally erupted, but after yelling at Wang Jin, he himself broke down in tears.

Now Liu Qiran was moved, he patted Hua Manlou on the back to signal him to calm down, and then shouted: "Come on, take Wang Jin and Fang Dayuan down!"

One prefect ordered another prefect to be arrested, this matter...

Probably fine.

When Wang Jin was taken down, he didn't say a word, but Fang Dayuan collapsed on the ground and shouted in horror: "It's not me, I didn't, I was deceived..."

After the two were carried off the tower, Liu Qiran looked at the tear-stained Huamanlou, and suddenly bowed and said, "Uncle Xishan, I thank you on behalf of the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang!"

After Hua Manlou waved his hands silently, he turned his eyes to the city.

But Liu Qiran said again: "However... one yard is one yard, the old man still thinks that Xishanbo's massacre of prisoners is a little inappropriate. Although these people have a way to kill them, your majesty should think twice about killing prisoners before autumn. Ask Zhan, let alone you want to kill so many people?"

The corners of Hua Manlou's mouth twitched: This old man... Should he be said to be principled or should he be said to be pedantic?

"So, does Master Fuzun think I'm bloodthirsty?" Hua Manlou was a little disdainful.

"Tsk, you..." Liu Qiran looked around, but stretched out his hand and pulled Hua Manlou aside: "Take a step to talk!"

Hua Manlou, who was rolling his eyes, was taken aback by his action, and only realized when there was no one around: "Master Liu, you are..."

"Hey!" Liu Qiran sighed heavily, and then said: "Uncle Xishan, I have a few heartfelt words, and you can listen to me patiently, okay?"

Hearing what he said, Hua Manlou could only nod his head.

Liu Qiran sighed again, then stroked his beard and said, "I'm fifty years old this year, and I'm more than thirty years older than you, and I have been in the ups and downs of the officialdom for some years. I have worked hard for half my life, and I have nothing to show for my political achievements. I don't have any commendable achievements, but I still have some experience in being an old man in the world. So Uncle Xishan, you are really an old man because you are stubborn, so that's why I stopped you?"

Hua Manlou looked at the old man in astonishment: "What does Master Liu mean?"

"How long do you think the old man has been paying attention to you? It's been half a year!" Liu Qiran squinted all over the building, and said with a sigh: "Ever since you beat Wala hard, the old man thought you were a rare talent, and then I really listened to you." You are offering an order of kindness, and you are running a new type of school. Even the navy you are planning to build now will be a blockbuster. These things... Hmph, to put it bluntly, few people in the Great Zhao Dynasty Hall can do it. "

"But having said that, you are too sharp!" Liu Qiran patted Hua Manlou on the shoulder and said, "It's okay to be a bit sharp in doing things, but if you are too sharp in life, you will always cause unnecessary troubles. You are a smart person , know what I'm talking about?"

"I have no opinion at all about killing Japanese pirates. I even want to kill one or two beasts to relieve my hatred, but things can't be done as you do." Wen Ge's old son-in-law, his every move is watched by many people, a little bit of arrogance will be magnified, and some people will even maliciously slander... how heartless people are!"

Hua Manlou looked at the old man who suddenly looked like a philistine, and didn't know what to say.

Is this pedantic face that you have been wearing since you appeared as a protective color?

People's hearts are really dirty these days, I really didn't realize that you are such a nobleman!

Liu Qiran patted Hua Manlou's shoulder again and said: "Understood? So to kill these people, you should at least ask His Majesty for instructions! Even if you are an imperial envoy, some things cannot be discussed in this way, understand?"

That's enough to say, but...

Hua Manlou smiled: "At least I understand Liu Fuzun's love and care, but..."

Pointing to the crying people in the city, Huamanlou said: "Seeing them like this, do you always think I can care about others?"

Having said that, Hua Manlou suddenly felt that even civil servants can't be generalized, at least there is no such thing as Liu Qiran?

Old Liu also sighed when he heard the words: "Forget it, this time... I will help you back!"

380. People are precious

"...On that day, Bo Xishan set sail from Chongming, rushed to Shengshan in the starry night, and won the battle...Because of the anger of the common people, I ordered more than a hundred Japanese pirates captured by the leader of the bandits to show the public. The bandit leader Qian Dapeng, Chen Yuanhua and the criminals Officials Wang Jin and Fang Dayuan will be sent to the capital soon, and His Majesty will decide..."

This is the old Liu's method of topping the vat. He made Huamanlou's meaning his own, and completely carried the matter on his shoulders.

In Fengtian Hall, after Xu Dacheng finished reading Liu Qiran's [-]-mile urgent report, the civil and military officials fell into a short-term rigid state.

This……

Is this even?

Although there are only Japanese pirates in one place, even though there are still a large group of Japanese pirates raging in Zhejiang and Fujian, they succeeded in the first battle, killed more than [-], captured more than [-], and seized ships, military assets, treasures, food and grass. By the way, a magistrate who colluded with officials and bandits and a commander who directly led to the defeat of Chongming were found out...

This kind of record would shock anyone.

Of course, after the shock, it's time for everyone to express their opinions on this matter.

"Your Majesty, Wang Jin and Fang Dayuan are so bold, their crimes deserve to be punished!"

"Your Majesty, the prefect of Suzhou is suspected of trespassing by beheading first and then playing. He should be held accountable..."

"His Majesty……"

It seems that everyone looks at the problem from different angles, some want to punish Wang Jin and the three clans, some want to pursue Liu Qiran's killing before playing, and there are a few who question Huamanlou's lie about his record because the Tianjin navy did not lead a supervising army, Some people even sued Huamanlou for bringing his female relatives with the army...

Emperor Guangxing looked at the group of civil servants in the hall who were spitting and tricky, with no joy or sadness on his face.

It was revealed that the magistrate of Xinghua prefecture spent money to pay for his life. Emperor Guangxing thought that was the most outrageous thing for a magistrate, but who would have thought that Hua Manlou would find another one as soon as he went out?

And recently, people from Xuanwuwei, Dongchang, and Ying Guogong began to collect information from various places. In Huai'an Prefecture alone, Nie Wenbing took down seven or eight officials.

The anger that should be angry has been exhausted, and now Emperor Guangxing has been thinking about a question: what happened to the officials of Da Zhao?

Huamanlou's private letter to Emperor Guangxing arrived with the military newspaper. The letter did not describe the war in detail, nor did it say much about the prefect of Songjiang, but it described in detail the people in Chashan, Shengshan and Jiading County. The situation is described again.

Like Huamanlou, after reading the letter, Emperor Guangxing no longer had the joy of Shengshan victory, and only a strong anger remained in his heart, and he didn't know who to send it to.

Therefore, looking at the civil servants in the hall talking about the southeast from various angles, Emperor Guangxing suddenly wanted to laugh and curse: You have been talking for a long time, but no one has compassion for the people, this... that is what the sages teach Yours?

Seeing Emperor Guangxing's reaction, the officials gradually shut up and lowered their heads without saying a word.

Emperor Guangxing felt like laughing even more.

"Mencius said: The people are the most important, the community is second, and the king is the least." After a long time, Emperor Guangxing said lightly: "When I was in Zhan Shifu in the past, Mr. Zeng asked me to copy all these words. Fifty times, I remember correctly, right?"

The Chief Assistant of the Cabinet Zeng Kaiji came out of the shift and said: "Yes, Your Majesty remembers correctly."

Emperor Guangxing nodded, and said again: "The people are the most precious... Well, do you think Mencius's words make sense?"

"This..." The officials looked at each other.

The way of Confucius and Mencius is the foundation of civil officials, and it is also the weapon that civil officials use to stand on the moral high ground to attack others, so no one will say that Confucius and Mencius are wrong-it is disrespectful to dare to doubt so, so...

Your Majesty is doubting this sentence?

Some people raised their eyebrows and wanted to stand up and sue the emperor.

But Emperor Guangxing went on to say: "The truth is right, all of you know it, and you say it all day long. But... why did today's battle report come back? , you and others have not mentioned a word, how can the people appease you?"

"The magistrate of Suzhou beheaded the Japanese pirates to anger the common people. I think he did the right thing. But is it enough to calm the anger of the people?" Emperor Guangxing suddenly raised his voice: "Where does the anger of the people come from? Why are the people the most important thing? But in dire straits? Why do you talk about the people as the most precious all day long, but turn a blind eye to the people?"

Emperor Guangxing stood up suddenly and roared angrily: "The people are the most precious! This is how you learned the principles that Mencius taught you? Just say that the people are the most precious, and then you will do nothing , This is your people are the most important? After the war, you didn't even think to ask the people's situation, this is your people are the most important?"

"The minister is guilty!" All the civil and military officials in the hall knelt down.

Seeing this situation, Emperor Guangxing suddenly felt tired.

After scolding and reprimanding, they still have to do what they want, so why scold them?Isn't this a waste of words?

After sighing, Emperor Guangxing said: "Today, you will write Mencius's "The People Are the Most Valuable" fifty times in Fengtian Palace, and then let me think about what it means to be the most precious to the people. Think about it carefully, whether the way of sages and sages you have learned has been learned crookedly."

After saying that, Emperor Guangxing turned around and walked towards the apse. After taking two steps, he stopped again: "By the way, let me think about it, what is the unity of knowledge and action. A young man once questioned me and asked me why Da Zhao, what have you done for the people, and now I will also ask you, what have you done for Da Zhao and the people. Think about it, think about it..."

"Also, the person who just questioned Huamanlouping's false report of the Japanese pirates, I will save some face for you, and you can resign on your own. I can't let him work hard to relieve the suffering of the Japanese pirates and the suffering of the common people. , while being questioned by the court..."

As he spoke, Emperor Guangxing slowly walked out of Fengtian Hall.

It has to be said that Hua Manlou's letter caused mixed feelings in Emperor Guangxing's heart.

Although the suffering of the people and the corruption of officials made him extremely angry, Huamanlou's final statement and plan made him extremely gratified and inspired. It was written in the letter: "If the Japanese pirates are not eradicated, the southeast will not be destroyed." An Ning, one day later, there will be more than ten and hundreds of tragedies; one day later, dozens of hundreds of people will lose their lives and lose their hope of life... My son is willing to suffer the suffering of the people, worry about the worries of the people, and the pirates in the southeast One day will not be destroyed, and the minister will not return to the capital for one day..."

Attached at the end of the letter is the construction plan for coastal defense in the southeast, extending to Tianjin in the north and Qiongzhou in the south, with the addition of naval forces, the restructuring of guards, or the construction of coastal defense bases.According to Emperor Guangxing's own understanding, if Huamanlou's set of things is completed and really works, then there will be no waves in Dazhao Haijiang.

although……

The construction of these things will take many years and cost countless silver.

But if these things are not done, won't these tragedies like Chashan, Shengshan, and Jiading continue forever?

(What I posted last night was the character design, didn’t you mean to put the character design first?)
