Profound Pure Guard

First there was a great victory in Jianchuan, and then a wild victory!

Cheng Jinhou, Pan Shigui, Shen Wanlin…Many of the names that were previously only well-known in the army can now be heard on the streets.

People like to be able to win battles when they serve as soldiers. On the one hand, you can save face, and on the other hand, the more victories you win, does that mean you can finish the battle earlier?

But not everyone is just happy. Many people are happy while worrying. My own baby joined the army to eat the royal food to fight for the future, but didn’t expect to encounter a war. I heard that he had already gone to the south. I don’t know what the situation is now.

Since the fight in the south side, just in imperial city, you can obviously feel that there are more people doing funerals on the street than usual. All of them are see one’s child die before oneself, and they are all clothing mounds. The garrison carried the burial. Then there will be merit certificates issued, and some pensions.

There are people crying and crying, and some are sad in their hearts, but it is more hatred of Barbarian Race than the war itself.

“Kill! Killed Barbarian Race will never fight again.” This is the plain thinking of many ordinary people about this war. It’s as if a mouse got into the house, and it will be clean if it is killed.

In addition to more funerals, the people in the imperial city also experienced the direct impact of war on their normal lives.

The price of firewood, rice, oil and salt will increase together. Although the increase was not large, I heard that the yamen did not allow grain merchants to drive up prices, but it was still 20% more expensive than before. And can’t buy it wide. You have to take the household registration book and buy it according to the number of people in the family. Adults and children have different rations, so the food they can buy every month is just enough. Can’t be hungry, but can’t save food.

Fortunately for large families, they generally have the habit of storing grain, so I don’t panic for the time being. The ordinary people are not at ease in their hearts, hoping that the country will be able to finish the war sooner, and will not limit food as much as it is now.

In fact, it is not only food that is restricted. Meat, ironware, cloth, medicine ingredient, etc. are all on the list of tightening restrictions. It’s not that the frontline is in short supply, but to make preparations in advance to make surplus for the possible war of attrition, and if the situation is not going well, it will not be blinded. At the same time, it can give the people of the whole country a process of adapting in advance.

In addition, the four front armies and local garrisons have begun the first batch of expanded recruitment. This batch of recruits will not go directly to the front line, but will stay in the country for training and at the same time replace the main force stationed in the country. If the front line is tight, they will also be sent to the south in batches according to the training situation.

It can be said that with the news of the nationwide money and food squeeze and the large-scale expansion of the army, the people at the bottom of the Jing old dynasty also felt the tension of the imminent war.

Officials and people everywhere are more sensitive than the common people. Now they are all in sorrow, always worrying that Xingtata will fall into the pit by mistake.

On the one hand, the money and food squeeze caused by the war has entered into serious war control in all aspects. Although the strategy was researched and formulated by the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War, the executors were mainly people from the Ministry of Households. It was the Emperor’s seventh son, Spirit King Yang Shu, who could hold this power. In this way, officials from all over the country dare not offend any of them, lest they be “knocked” and the official voice will be damaged.

On one side is the civil servant leader headed by the left minister, expressly or secretly expressing that they want various places to resist Spirit King’s strategy of monetary austerity as much as possible.

On the other side, there is an undercurrent in the dark. From six other princes besides Spirit King. The meaning of the hint is similar to that of Zuo Xiangfu, in short, it just doesn’t want Spirit King to feel better.

There are not many people who really stupid stand up to resist Spirit King. Those who stand up have all entered the prison of Profound Pure Guard. Because Spirit King said that boycotting money and food austerity is equivalent to colliding with the enemy, Profound Pure Guard must conduct a thorough investigation. As for the Criminal Ministry? The Spirit King didn’t respond at all.

Official rank, these official boundaries are not useful in front of Spirit King. Regardless of your few rank officials, you can’t stand up in front of him. In the end, most of the officials in various places showed a submissive side, actively cooperating, and first comforted the person with the knife, Spirit King, and received the 1st Stage food delivery standard by the way to suppress the nervousness of the people. As for the other things, that’s all for later.

Furthermore, who dares to underestimate Spirit King nowadays? I’m afraid it’s not a foolish fool.

There was news before that that the left phase originally wanted to ask Your Majesty to hand over the money and food squeeze power back to the household department, but the household department Shangshu Bai Changqing took the initiative to stand in line with the Spirit King and let the left phase save face. Fell through. So Zuo Xiang used the imperial city Song Family to beat Spirit King. In a few days, all the businesses of Zuo Xiang and Ma Xuanlin, Shangshu, who was involved in the execution, were all disturbed. Moreover, due to the pressure of the austerity of money and food, the local authorities did not even dare to speak for the left.

Does this count as being slapped and then immediately slapped back?

As the center of this storm, Yang Shu can see everything around him clearly. He has offended countless people, but they are all suppressed in front of the power in his hands. Once he loses this “big exam”, then wait for others to hit a person when he’s down.

So Yang Shu either does not do it now, or he does it absolutely. He has no retreat himself, but will he care if others have room to retreat?

The more you patrol everywhere, the more you can feel that this kind of power is really comfortable. What if it is a higher position? Would it be more comfortable?

Yang Shu put down the paperwork in his hand and leaned back on the back of the chair, rubbing his somewhat sore eyes.

Suddenly, it seemed to be noisy outside, like a large group of people shouting something. You can vaguely hear words such as “Jianchuan” and “Great Victory” that make people spirits uplifting.

Without waiting for Yang Shu to get up, there was a knock on the door outside the study, and it was the conspirator under his command who was allowed to enter.

“Wang Ye! Jianchuan is here for the battle report. Just now, the Hongling messenger sang great victory and rode out from Transmission Formation. Now the good news should have been posted at the gate of the local government!”

“What?” Yang Shu Meng got up, walked to the opponent and grabbed the rubbed battle report, and quickly finished reading it.

“hahaha! Not bad! Zuo Yuliang is indeed a famous general in the world, and the plan is perfect. Now Jianchuan has broken the situation, which means that the battle has passed the stalemate and has entered the counter-offensive stage. This is true. It’s much faster than you expected before.”

“Yes, Lord. Before we deduced that it might not be until the second half of three years before we have a substantial victory, but we didn’t expect this. It was only in March. It will be greatly accelerated when I think about it, maybe…”

Yang Shu interrupted with a wave of his hand: “Don’t be too busy to make a final conclusion. How to watch the military affairs slowly? Yuliang’s performance is that I have confidence in him. But after this great victory, I am afraid it will aggravate the conflicts between my elder brothers. After all, the “big test” is impossible. Let us take it slowly, and it will probably end with the military affairs in the south. . No one is too slow. In this case, my troubles should be shared.”
