Chapter 327 Lu Xiangsheng Was Terrified

Lu Xiangsheng stared at Li Chaosheng with piercing eyes, and Li Chaosheng looked at Lu Xiangsheng for a long time and said, "That's why you think I will rebel?"

"Don't you?"

Lu Xiangsheng asked back after hearing this, and Li Chaosheng said after hearing this, "Oh, you think I will?"

Lu Xiangsheng heard the words: "You have revealed the opposite, I think you can't, so you can't?"

Li Chaosheng took a sip of tea and said, "Where did you know that I have reversed phase?"

"Hahaha... Isn't that obvious?"

Lu Xiangsheng looked at Li Chaosheng and said, "I'll do the counting for you. First of all, as the magistrate of Lantian County, your jurisdiction is only a small county of a hundred miles, but I heard people say that the whole Weinan is now your Lantian. Area, under the rule of Xi'an, except for an isolated city in Xi'an, the rest of the land belongs to your Lantian, and you enclose the land in Lantian to enrich yourself, isn't it an intention of rebellion?"

Li Chaosheng took a sip of tea, and reached out his hand to signal Lu Xiangsheng to continue.

Lu Xiangsheng also took a sip of tea at this time and said: "Secondly, you are the county magistrate of Lantian, not the captain of Lantian, let alone the general soldier of Lantian, but you can recruit more than [-] soldiers who are good at fighting under your command, and it is even more difficult for you to snatch them back. In Huacheng, the Tartars were beaten to shame by your Lantian soldiers, how can you live under others for a long time because you are strong and strong?"

"With these two points, I can conclude that you will definitely rebel, but you don't know when."

Lu Xiangsheng stared at Li Chaosheng, Li Chaosheng's expression was still indifferent at this time, Lu Xiangsheng's words were quite right, for the Lantian County generals to oppose some important figures, it was obvious that the lice on the bald head were obvious.

Enclosure of territory, raising an army, you say you have no intention of rebellion, who will believe it?
But Li Chaosheng didn't want to admit it. After all, he really didn't want to rebel. It was Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong who wanted to rebel. He just wanted to send troops to wipe out the thieves and replace them after these thieves took down the Ming Dynasty.

Killing and setting fire to the rebel army, saving lives and disasters in Lantian County.

This is Li Chaosheng's purpose.

Lu Xiangsheng spoke decisively, but Li Chaosheng smiled slightly at this moment: "Mr. Lu misread me."||
This is the third change of Li Chaosheng's address to Lu Xiangsheng. The first time he called Lu Xiangsheng, he was called Master Lu, which revealed a fake politeness. Now it is changed to Lu Gong, which sounds kind, which means that Li Chaosheng is going to say something from the bottom of his heart.

"Ok?"

Lu Xiangsheng looked at Li Chaosheng, and Li Chaosheng said: "Since the reign of Chongzhen, there has been a severe drought in Shaanxi for thousands of miles, and the people have no means of living. However, the officials only know how to exploit the people, resulting in countless deaths and injuries of the people in the entire Guanzhong. Starvation is everywhere. The whole Guanzhong is like a ghost, with bones exposed in the wild. Dogs eat each other, people are like ghosts, and they eat when they change their sons. At this time, the court did not rescue the disaster, but forced Liaoxiang to rebel against the bandits in northern Shaanxi, Wang Jiayin, Wang Ziyong, Gao Yingxiang and others, and the people in Guanzhong were tortured even more. Who can give the people in Guanzhong a way out, where is Duke Lu?"

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng kept a gloomy face and didn't speak. He was speechless because he was questioned. At that time, he was still a censor in the imperial court. Although he lived a frugal life, he could still eat meat in seven days.

Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng was silent, Li Chaosheng said: "In this critical autumn, Shaanxi Governor Hong Chengchou found me. At that time, I was just a wealthy family in Tanggou Town, Lantian County. Because I had some grain and some land at that time, That's why Master Hong took a fancy to him and recommended me to join the Imperial College, and serve as the county magistrate of Lantian as a supervisor."

"Since he took office, Li has dissipated all his family wealth and used all the hundreds of thousands of tons of grain that he had hoarded for several years to feed the people of the county. Repair farmland, dams, and sprinkle snow into the fields in winter to moisten the fields, so that although Shaanxi is still severely drought the next year, my blue fields will be ripe."

"Lantian County is no longer short of food, and this official also obeys the collection regulations issued by the imperial court, and strictly follows the law of the Ming Dynasty to collect, so as to appease the people. , the people couldn’t survive anymore, so someone moved my Lantian boundary monument and secretly moved my Lantian boundary monument to their county boundary.”

"After I heard about it, I quickly sent people to recover the boundary markers. As a result, tens of thousands of people in the county government begged the county magistrate to accept them, otherwise they would die. At that time, Shaanxi was in chaos, and the frontier army could not eat Satisfying hunger, retreating steadily."

"In such a situation, what choice should Duke Lu make? Are you going to save these people or not?"

After Li Chaosheng finished speaking, Lu Xiangsheng continued to drink tea, but his hands trembled slightly. Li Chaosheng continued: "I am not as hard-hearted as the princes of the court. I have the ability to save the world. How can I watch the people freeze and starve to death?" , so I acquiesced that they were the people of Lantian, so I opened the Lantian granary to relieve them, and built water conservancy. They were no longer hungry in the second year, and I paid the full amount of taxes to the court that year, and the frontier army also had a layer of military rations. Lan Tian."

"In this way, the people who can't survive will move our Lantian boundary marker. Since they are my Lantian people, I will save them and let them farm with peace of mind. In this way, that area will not be affected by the disaster, and Over the years, I in Lantian have accepted more than [-] victims of disasters, and allowed more than [-] people to live in Lantian. Now, Lantian accounts for [-]% of the military rations of the Shaanxi frontier army. I also work hard for the imperial court's taxes, and I have never missed a single cent. , I am so worried about the country and the people, and share the worries for the country. In the end, Mr. Lu said that I am enclosing land for rebellion. Doesn’t Mr. Lu feel that my heart is chilled? Does it chill the hearts of thousands of officials who have paid for the people of Lantian? ?”

Li Chaosheng stared at Lu Xiangsheng with a half-smile, but Lu Xiangsheng gritted his teeth at this moment, not knowing how to return to Li Chaosheng, his face turned red and turned white.

"Mr. Lu, what I, Li, did in Lantian was right and upright. Anyone who came to me dared to pat my chest and say that I was right. You said I rebelled, where did I rebel? I saved the people from fire and water. It's rebellion. I supply the frontier army to fight bandits. I pay the country's taxes in full. Is it rebellion? Hehe... I rebellion. Those who only know how to exploit the people, regardless of their life and death, cry to the court every day because they are poor and have no money, but they marry at home Officials with one wife after another are the ones who are treasonous, they are the ones who are harming Daming!"

Li Chaosheng was filled with righteous indignation, and every time he mentioned these damned bureaucrats, Li Chaosheng couldn't calm down.

Lu Xiangsheng blushed when he was told, this straight-tempered guy didn't know how to respond to Li Chaosheng, he was born as a censor, and he was an expert at playing tricks, but he couldn't refute it in a word, it's unreasonable, it's really unreasonable .

"Then, is it not conspiracy for you to raise an army?"

Lu Xiangsheng once again found a breakthrough point, and Li Chaosheng laughed again after hearing this: "I am not an army, but a regiment training, just on a larger scale."

"Team training?"

Lu Xiangsheng's eyes widened: "Is County Magistrate Li deceiving Lu as ignorant? Whose group training can be so big, and whose group training can expand to [-], and they are all elite soldiers!"

Lu Xiangsheng questioned Li Chaosheng. After hearing this, Li Chaosheng thought about it and told the truth. At this time, Zhanli, don't lie and make Zhanli unreasonable. Thinking of this, Li Chaosheng said: "Actually, we in Lantian County are regular There are 4 people in regiment training, and [-] people stay in Lantian to protect the village."

"Four, forty thousand?!!"

Lu Xiangsheng's eyes almost popped out, and he pointed at Li Chaosheng and said, "Are they as powerful as Guihua City?"

Li Chaosheng thought for a while and said: "It's about the same. There are some who are better than this, but they are not as good as there. It is roughly the same."

Li Chaosheng is telling the truth. Li Chaosheng said that Li Chaolong's unit is more powerful. In addition to the regular establishment, this unit also has Shi Xiaolei's new firearms training team and the special brigade led by Li Chaomeng.

"Also, is it better?"

Lu Xiangsheng was a little frightened. He was really frightened. He thought Li Chaosheng had only 2 people, but he didn't expect that Li Chaosheng had 4 people, and there were even more powerful troops. What kind of monster did this bastard Hong Chengchou raise in Lantian?

Immediately afterwards, Lu Xiangsheng suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "No, Lu Xianglin came back and told me that besides the regular army, you also have militiamen. If you say you are a regiment, what are your militiamen?"

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng touched his chin and thought for a while, "Be enthusiastic about the villagers, these are all spontaneously done by the villagers, and our county government doesn't care about them."

Lu Xiangsheng heard that he had a black thread and was an enthusiastic villager. You can really make it up.

"Hehe... Are you Lantian villagers so enthusiastic?"

Lu Xiangsheng asked, and after hearing this, Li Chaosheng smiled and said, "There is no way, there are many bandits, bandits, and officials in Shaanxi. It is impossible for the villagers to be less enthusiastic."

When Lu Xiangsheng heard the words, he asked angrily: "Then how many enthusiastic villagers are there in Lantian?"

Li Chaosheng smiled and said, "230 million."

"How many!"

Lu Xiang stood up suddenly, Li Chaosheng said: "Oh, I was wrong, it should be 240 million, and the 18 people in Guihua City are also our enthusiastic villagers in Lantian."

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng said, "I'm not asking about the population of Lantian."

Li Chaosheng said: "Mr. Lu, you don't really think that the people of Lantian are the people, do you? Let's put it this way, the people of Lantian are enthusiastic. They are willing to farm in the land of Lantian with peace of mind, but Once someone doesn’t let them farm with peace of mind, everyone from 80-year-old women to toddlers who can just walk will take weapons and smash the heads of those who don’t let them farm properly.”

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng's face suddenly became ugly: "So you still say you don't want to rebel?"

Li Chaosheng looked at Lu Xiangsheng, drank the tea in the teacup in one gulp and said, "Lu Xiangsheng, you are a good official, I actually admire you quite a bit, so I won't make circles with you anymore, I, Lantian, really don't want to turn against you now, but neither I will accept the imperial court's splitting and exploitation, and the people of Lantian will not allow them to change to a county official, and I will not hand over the people of Lantian to the officials of Ming Dynasty."

Li Chaosheng called Lu Xiangsheng's name again, and Lu Xiangsheng became sober instead: "Aren't you rebellious?"

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng said: "No, no, this is not called rebellion. Firstly, I will not raise the flag of rebellion, and I will not give myself the title of bullshit king. I still belong to Daming."

"Secondly, we will still pay Daming's taxes in full. Of course, it is within the reasonable range. If it is unreasonable, we will not pay a single grain of rice."

"The third and most important point is the above two points. As long as His Majesty is in power for a day, it counts as a day. Chongzhen will not die, and Lantian will not rebel."

"Why, why?"

Lu Xiangsheng looked at Li Chaosheng at this moment, he couldn't understand why Chongzhen didn't die and Lantian didn't rebel?
Li Chaosheng sighed and said: "Because he still has the backbone, and he still has the dignity of an emperor. Although our Majesty keeps playing tricks and playing badly with a good deck of cards, he still has backbone in his bones, and is also a pitiful one." Man, for the sake of his backbone, I am willing to control my ambition."

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng looked at Li Chaosheng and said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to control it."

Li Chaosheng smiled and said, "It's not been a few years, I can do it."

"What do you mean?"

Lu Xiangsheng frowned, Li Chaosheng smiled and said nothing, now it is the ninth year of Chongzhen, and it is not long before the 17th year of Chongzhen. Don't be a bully, and in the past eight years Li Chaosheng will work harder to eat away, at least Guanzhong will only have the surname Li by then.

"Do you think His Majesty will die soon?"

Lu Xiangsheng asked, Li Chaosheng smiled and said nothing, Lu Xiangsheng frowned and said, "You want to poison His Majesty?"

Li Chaosheng was stunned when he heard this and said: "How can you think so? Poisoning His Majesty is what you scholars do. I can't do it. I mean, Daming will perish in a few years."

Li Chaosheng looked at Lu Xiangsheng, don't slander me, only you scholars can do such immoral things as poisoning the emperor, and it's not just once, once it was Zhu Houzhao, and once it was Zhu Youxiao, these two emperors are dead Very strange.

"Da Ming is going to perish? Hahaha... Nonsense, the Ming Dynasty was at its peak in the Spring and Autumn Period. Although there are some minor problems, as long as there is a good minister, it can be leveled in a few years."

Li Chaosheng laughed and said nothing when he heard this, but Lu Xiangsheng was not happy, looked at Li Chaosheng and said: "Why are you laughing, how do you think Daming will die?"

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng stretched his waist and said, "Da Ming was destroyed by bandits in Shaanxi."

"impossible!"

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng shook his head to express his disapproval.

"The Shanxi bandits, Wang Jiayin, Wang Ziyong and others are already dead. Gao Yingxiang is alone, and he only wants to wipe them out overnight. How can scabies destroy a country?"

Lu Xiangsheng didn't believe it, and Li Chaosheng didn't say much after hearing the words. After all, the peasant uprising is still a small one, and it is still slipping into a low period. Even at the lowest point, Li Zicheng only took 28 riders to escape. At that time, the Ming Dynasty Everyone thought that the thieves and bandits had been completely wiped out, and some even thought that Ming Dynasty would be revived.

However, the greatest helpers of the peasant rebel army are the court officials, and God, the rebel army that was wiped out in the first place will rise again with the help of another natural disaster and man-made disaster, and will destroy the entire Ming Dynasty with the force of a prairie fire. Emperor Chongzhen, Meishan hanged himself.

In fact, Li Chaosheng didn't read history books about this kind of thing, and he thought it was a joke. It didn't make sense for Li Zicheng to come back after 28 rides, but things are sometimes so unreasonable.
