Red House Shoufu

Chapter 418 Chaos in Shandong?The emperor did not agree!

Before Gao Wanjiang left Beijing, he went to the East Palace to borrow people. Crown Prince Gao Wancheng dispatched a team of thousands of households from the Sixth Rank of the East Palace, led by Liu Xianglian, and temporarily entered Gao Wanjiang's account to wait for dispatch.

After entering Shandong, Liu Xianglian began to contact her friends in the rivers and lakes, and the whereabouts of the White Lotus Sect was sent to Gao Wanjiang's desk again and again, making the imperial court's counter-insurgency army invincible, and directly defeated the White Lotus Sect rebels in Qingzhou .

If it weren't for the people in Jiangnan trying to disrupt the situation, the White Lotus Sect in Shandong would have been wiped out long ago.

"The last general has arranged for three messengers, all the way to the east, via Jimo County to Wushanwei; all the way to the south, to Lingshanwei to prepare the Japanese army; Arriving all the way early will ensure that Jiaozhou City will hold fast until the imperial army comes to help."

Liu Xianglian's arrangement was very appropriate, Gao Wanjiang didn't understand military affairs, and was only responsible for supervising military and political affairs, and almost all the power of command was handed over to Liu Xianglian who could be trusted.

Because of this incident, Ye Xiling and Huang Tongsheng recruited from Jiangnan Daying were extremely dissatisfied.Although Liu Xianglian also has a disbanded rank from a fourth-rank general, Ye Xiling is a serious commander of a fourth-rank guard. Both in terms of actual position and seniority, he is much higher than Liu Xianglian.

However, Gao Wanjiang was not at ease with these few people in Jiangnan Daying, he just relied on his identity to crush them to death.

Although Huang Tongsheng was the one who advised to abandon the people and run away, Gao Wanjiang didn't know that this was actually what Ye Xiling meant.Such a cowardly and cowardly general, who turned out to be a military general of the fourth rank of the Guochao, is really a shame to the generals of Chu.

Gao Wanjiang nodded, and then indifferently glanced at the people in the big tent.After thinking for a while, he rearranged the defense of Jiaozhou County.

All the generals in the Jiangnan camp are untrustworthy, and the soldiers under their command can only be broken up and reorganized, otherwise there may be major problems in the war...

"The defense of the city is all under the command of Liu Xianglian, with Wan Qirong and Ye Xiling as deputy. The soldiers of the Jiangnan camp were scattered and filled into the ranks of the forbidden army..."

Ye Xiling and the others turned pale with shock. Gao Wanjiang's actions obviously deprived them of their military power.They have small thoughts in their hearts, and they will not be so stupid if they use their lives to gain life for the untouchables!

It's a pity that Gao Wanjiang is not only the supervising army in charge of Shandong's anti-rebellion affairs, but also the prince's son.After Ye Xiling yelled no, she saw Liu Xianglian's hand resting on the Mandarin Duck Sword at her waist.

snort!
Gao Wanjiang snorted coldly: "This is a military order, and no one is allowed to violate it, otherwise it will be punished by military law!"

……

"Liu Qianhu, it seems that the people in Jiangnan Daying are unreliable, and the soldiers of the Shandong guards are also not so reliable. The best way is to send a letter to the capital quickly and ask the Jingying cavalry to come to help!"

Gao Wanjiang really doesn't understand military matters, but he has a much better grasp of people's hearts than Liu Xianglian.Which one of the royal children is not [-] minded, and in a short period of time, they have thought of several bad guesses from the situation in Jiaozhou.

As soon as the Dengzhou navy was transferred to the south of the Yangtze River to guard against the invasion of pirates, Wang Youxing, the king of the Three Seas, led tens of thousands of pirates to attack the coastal guards in the southeast of Shandong.How can there be such a coincidence?Someone on the land must have tipped off the news, knowing that Shandong's coastal defenses are empty, so they dared to attack aggressively.

Jiaozhou is hundreds of miles deep in the hinterland, with Jimo in the east and Pingdu and Gaomi in the north. The White Lotus Sect chose Jiaozhou County, where the army is stationed, instead of attacking the empty Jimo, Pingdu, and Gaomi?

Either someone planned to kill himself, the prince's son, so as to muddy the water even more.Or someone planned to take down himself as a royal nobleman, so as to slap the court in the face.

In fact, Gao Wanjiang himself has reached a dilemma at this time. If he sticks to Jiaozhou, a bloody battle with unpredictable outcome is inevitable. If he escapes for his life, then his deserter will reduce the reputation of the royal family to a terrible level.

As long as the enemy takes advantage of it, what prestige does the royal family have to rule hundreds of millions of people?Good calculation!

It is no longer possible to trust Gao Wanjiang of the guards in Jiangnan and Shandong 100%. He cannot rely on speculation to gamble on who these people are loyal to.

The only way now is to procrastinate as long as possible, either wait for Wang Ziteng to settle the matter of Qufu as soon as possible, and bring the army back to help, or stick to the capital camp and rush for thousands of miles to solve the predicament.

The messenger to the capital cannot be a member of the army, and Gao Wanjiang cannot guarantee that the messenger can leave Shandong alive.In the afternoon, Liu Xianglian ate several bowls of wontons at a wonton stall. Before the city gate was closed, she secretly left the city dressed as a messenger who went out to chop firewood, and galloped towards the capital.

……

The emergency report from Jiaozhou County was sent out on Dongyue 21, and the capital had not received the news at this time.

After Lin Shu received the secret letter from Gao Wanjiang for the first time, he invited Jia Lian from the Rongguo Mansion, Xue Pan, Xue Bian from the Xue family, and Tang Ninghui from the Zhongshun Prince's Mansion on the same day.

Why didn't Lin Shu directly invite Zhongshun Wang Gao Yongheng?Because the prince is currently being hung in the main hall of the Dragon Head Palace and whipped.

The stove in the main hall of Lin's mansion was very hot, after Tao Zi waited for a few servant girls to bring the refreshments, she closed the door, and guarded at the gate with Fu Quan.

Jia Lian and the others read the letter sent by Gao Wanjiang one by one. Jia Lian took the lead and asked, "Cousin is going to help the prince?"

"We must help, otherwise this big show will not be able to continue!"

Lin Shu said bluntly: "We all know what Wang Ziteng is doing in Shandong. Those people in the south of the Yangtze River want to muddy the water, so let's do the opposite and muddy the water in the south of the Yangtze River first." , so that they can’t take care of themselves. Whether it’s the White Lotus Sect or the pirates, to put it bluntly, it’s the first move of the Jiangnan group. Killing the enemy on the battlefield has its own imperial army. What we have to do now is to draw the salary from the bottom of the pot..."

In the room, Lin Shu narrated his own thoughts in detail, why the White Lotus Sect in Shandong could suddenly increase in strength, and why the pirates raided the coast of Shandong so obediently.

To put it bluntly, it is money, grain, and armaments. The most indispensable thing in Jiangnan is grain and money. As for armaments, money is really not a problem.Jiangnan's material resources were continuously sent to Shandong, and Haikou had always relied on the gang from Jiangnan to give people money and food.

So in the final analysis, if you want to cut off the logistics of the White Lotus Sect and the pirates, the best way is to cut them off completely from the source.

"Cousin Lian, I'm afraid the family has to send a reliable person back to Jinling. Many relatives of Jia's family in Jinling are involved in this matter..."

When Lin Shu reminded him like this, Jia Lian wished that he would rush to the homes of the Jinling people and break their dog legs.

In the past few years, Jia's family was almost in danger. The houses in Jinling were not so good, they actually participated in smuggling by sea trade, colluded with those people in Jiangnan, and got involved in such things as pirates ransacking their families and exterminating their families.

"Father originally wanted to go back to Jinling, and it happened to be a New Year's day to worship the ancestors and go back to rectify the affairs of the clan."

Lin Shu nodded, it would be better for Jia She to go back, since the seniority and titles are there, it would be more appropriate to deal with it.

He handed a letter to Jia Lian: "Since it's the elder uncle who will go, then I will ask the elder uncle one thing..."

"Huh?" Jia Lian took the letter curiously, and Lin Shu signaled him to open it.

After he opened it and looked at it, he asked suspiciously, "How does Cousin Lin think that those people from Jiangnan will secretly send it to Shandong by sea?"

"Cousin Lian may have forgotten that Prince Yizhong is still in Songjiang Mansion. People from Prince Yizhong's mansion are on the canal, how dare they go on the canal. The fastest and safest way is to go by sea. "

Lin Shu's explanation made Jia Lian suddenly enlightened. After he put away the letter, he nodded and said, "Okay, I will tell my father completely about this matter."

"Brother Xue, how much cash does the Xue family have in the south of the Yangtze River?" Lin Shu turned his attention to Xue Biao. Xue Pan didn't know anything about the Xue family's business, so it would be more reliable to ask Xue Bian.

Sure enough, Xue Biao gave an extremely accurate figure after thinking for a while: "In Jiangnan, there are about 600,000 taels of cash available."

Lin Shu asked Tang Ninghui of Zhongshun Prince's Mansion again: "Tang Changshi, how much cash is available in Jiangnan for the Palace?"

Although Tang Ninghui found it strange, before coming to Lin's mansion, Princess Cui had explained that he should do his best to cooperate with Lin Shu.So he thought for a while and replied: "More than 120 million taels."

"Cousin, does the Fuchu still have cash in Jiangnan?"

Jia Lian said truthfully: "Not much, less than 300,000."

"enough!"

Lin Shu probably calculated his own money and the money that the Wang family could use in the south of the Yangtze River, and it was enough for an economic surprise attack!

He laughed and explained to the bewildered people in the room: "Taking this opportunity, let's give a big gift to those people in Jiangnan! Since they like to hit people with money so much, let's give all the money in their hands Grab it..."

……

Lin Shu's plan will not be mentioned for the time being, Jia Amnesty asked for leave from the Commander's Mansion of the Five Armies on the second day, taking advantage of the fact that his excuses were easy to come by, he was honored as a prince, so he should go back to his hometown in Jinling to pour incense on the ancestral grave and burn it Paper money has reported to the ancestors about the current situation of Jia's children and grandchildren.

The emperor had already known the whole plan from Lin Shu, not only let Jia She secretly bring the golden order, but also let a team of Dragon Guards disguise to follow Jia She to go south.

With this golden order, Jia Amnesty can mobilize all guards and horses in the south of the Yangtze River. Civil and military officials below the third rank can be killed first and then played. Those above the third rank can be temporarily detained and escorted to the capital for trial.

After Jia Amnesty left Beijing, Xue Biao and Lin Lu went south to Jinling together.Lin Shu handed over the plan of the entire economic war to Xue Biao and Lin Lu. After Jia Amnesty implemented the plan to rob food, Xue Biao and Lin Lu could follow Lin Shu's plan to spend the savings of the Jiangnan clan.

……

On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, Goose Feather Snow dressed up the capital in an extremely poetic way, but Lin Shu didn't have time to write poems at all.

Liu Xianglian's friends in Jianghu are just like Liu Xianglian herself, loyal and courageous, he is a good man whom Lin Shu admires very much.

The situation in Shandong is more dangerous than Gao Wanjiang imagined. This swordsman from Jianghu lost his hand that used to hold the knife in order to send Jizuo safely to the capital.

"Yu Zhuangshi, take a good rest in the mansion. After I send the Jizuo to the palace, I will definitely ask His Majesty for credit for Yu Zhuangshi!"

Yu Shinan was a stout man, after hearing Lin Shu's words, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his weather-beaten face.

This group of swordsmen is not as described in the storybook, eating meat and drinking heavily, going high and low, enjoying their friendship and hatred.

People in the Jianghu also have to abide by the laws of the country, and in the eyes of the rich and powerful, the people in the Jianghu are not much different from the hooligans on the street.

In Yu Shinan's heart, Chu Wenkui, who is said to be reincarnated from a Chinese song star like Lin Shu, is a real fairy among the gods.

Now that Wenqu Xingjun talked to him so kindly, he even planned to ask the emperor for credit for himself, which made Yu Shinan both expectant and moved.

He is also a family man, his wife takes care of his mother at home, and originally planned to spend a few taels of silver with Brother Liu so that he could add some meat and new clothes to the family during the Chinese New Year, but he almost died in the dense forest of Shandong .

Now that the hand holding the knife is broken, it would be a lie to say that Yu Shinan has no regrets.Fortunately, Mr. Wenqu Xing told him, and immediately sent someone to pick up his mother and wife to Beijing, and even planned to ask for credit for himself, asking for a salary from the imperial court, which made Yu Shinan very grateful.

"Master Hou, the villain started from Jiaozhou. After leaving Laizhou, he felt that he was being followed. When he arrived in Qingzhou, he was hunted down one after another. It seems that someone has been monitoring the nobleman, even if it is a villain. Anyone who has had contact with people around the nobleman will fall into the eyes of those people."

Yu Shinan has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and is more sensitive to danger.He expressed his opinion to Lin Shu: "The villain feels that there must be those people's eyeliner around the nobleman, and this person's identity must be not simple, otherwise Brother Liu tried his best to avoid the attention of others, so that Xiao People send secret letters, and they can still be discovered by these people.”

After a little thought, Lin Shu was sure that Yu Shinan's guess was [-]% likely to be true. After he told Lin Jiu to take good care of Yu Shinan, he hurried to the palace with the secret music.

After the emperor in the Palace of Qinzheng finished watching the secret performance, there was a hint of relief in his anger.He was silent for a long time, and brought Lin Shu to the Dragon Head Palace.

"Now I understand why I let Jin'er be nailed to Jiangnan. Those bastards of the Kong family, if they didn't have the support from Jiangnan, how could they be so big that the royal family would be jealous?"

Ok?
Lin Shu was stunned by the words of the Supreme Emperor. Gao Wanzhen had other reasons for going to the south of the Yangtze River?
Only the Supreme Emperor continued: "Don't worry, there won't be any big problems with Jiang'er. The Dengzhou Navy will probably have already returned to Shandong. On the other hand, since the prince has let the prince get rid of his deadly hands, the Kong family will Beware of those scholars making trouble. There are still many people in the Confucius family who are truly sages, go and choose someone, and shut up those scholars."

Lin Shu couldn't get in the conversation between the two saints at this moment, he bowed and stood aside, listening to the conversation between the two supreme beings.

The emperor seemed to be worried and asked: "Father, do you want to take down the big families in the south of the Yangtze River that Jiang Er found?"

"Don't act too hastily, cut off their retreat first, and prevent this group of people from fleeing overseas. Didn't the King of the Sea of ​​the Three Seas send a secret envoy to Beijing? Let's first listen to what the King of the Sea of ​​the Three Seas wants to do."

The Supreme Emperor seemed to have arranged everything a long time ago. Hearing this, Lin Shu had already figured out something. It turned out that the Supreme Emperor had already laid several chess pieces in Jiangnan, and even drove nails into the interior of those aristocratic families in Jiangnan.

Sure enough, the people of the royal family, who weigh more than a hundred pounds, have eight hundred hearts!
