25. Mintun Village says Jin Fenggao
Breaking down the post building and robbing and killing the post chief's soldiers can still be explained as a last resort. Now "kidnapping" close relatives and clan members, big and small officials have abandoned their posts one after another and fled to Hanyang to join the army.
Undoubtedly treason!
Must be conquered!
Jin Zuchun was subject to financial power being controlled by the hostile Park Zongqing. Deep down in his heart, he really didn't want to use troops. But now that the facts are in front of him, he is a decisive person and has already made up his mind to use troops. But he still needs to control the party members.
They were all called over to consult on the specific operations.
Probably to show their loyalty, but also because they were too surprised to hear the news of the rebellion, the party members were extremely excited.
"Damn it, how did the country become like this!"
"Fuyuan Lord, how can you manage the country well if you are dealing with this kind of insect!"
"If this continues, we will become the laughing stock of the Jinghua noble clan!"
"Send the training camp over and send the traitors to heaven one by one!"
"For me, there is no sun in the sky. In my heart, you are the only sun in my heart!"
"Even if the traitors run over me, I will still block them!"
"I believe Fuyuan-kun's strength is unlimited!"
"What the hell is he, Hong Jinglai!"
……………………
Everyone was talking about it, which made Jin Zuchun very upset, so he had to say perfunctorily: "Well, I am the happiest today!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone felt Jin Zuchun's worry and dissatisfaction, and they all shut up. They all looked at Jin Zuchun quietly, waiting for his decision.
Only Min Tinghye has remained silent since he entered the house. Whether others expressed loyalty or scolded the traitors, he did not participate in it, nor did he squeeze into the front row. He deliberately sat in the corner where Hong Jing came from, and did not compete.
Don't steal.
"Why don't Tuncun say anything?" Jin Zuchun named Min Tinghye.
"The officials in Wufeng have been deprived of their titles, and the remaining rebels have abandoned their official positions and left. Now all it takes is a decree declaring them traitors, and the rest is just a crusade." Min Tingyue said slowly, as if he didn't want to.
With what feelings.
"So easy?" Jin Zuchun's voice sounded like a test.
"Easier said than done! Now that all the stations along the route have been attacked by Wufeng, we must first restore the postal station with the North Road, send messages day and night, and detect Wufeng's whereabouts."
"This is inevitable!" Jin Zuchun nodded.
"After restoring the inn, I ordered Ping'an and Huanghai to gather soldiers, recruit brave people, and prepare for the war.
Especially Pingjing is the most important. If Pingjing changes hands, with Wufeng's boldness, he might not dare to support it and divide the north and the south into a confrontation!"
Pyongkyong is the headquarters of Pyongyang Province, and it was also the capital of the country where the emperors and ministers of the Lee Dynasty lived for a long time during the Japanese Rebellion. Its political status is the same as that of Kaegyeong, Ganghwa, and Suwon, or even higher, and it has a royal status.
Jinyao where it is located.
Once occupied by Hong Jinglai, with Hong Jinglai's habitual "bold and reckless" behavior, who knows whether he will really support Li Li to succeed him. When the time comes, he will also regard himself as orthodox. As long as he is granted an official position and makes a wish, he will be greedy for profit if he does not guarantee it.
, or ambitious people defected to the Pingjing court.
Once the situation of partition is formed, it will be difficult to completely restore unity, and the war will continue for a long time, which will also be a serious blow to Jin Zuchun's political power.
"Then send reinforcements to Pingjing first?" Jin Zuchun took a look and found that Min Tinghye was the most reliable. The others were just stinky sweet potatoes and rotten bird eggs, not worth mentioning.
"If you go too little, it won't help; if you go too much, you won't have any money!" Min Tinghye finally raised his head and looked at Jin Zuchun.
Scattered reports from various places now indicate that Hong Jinglai already has one to two hundred cavalry, and seven to eight hundred or even thousands of infantry. These are official slaves and sword contracts. It is hard to say how effective they are in combat, but his will to resist the Li Dynasty government is very strong.
Determination and extremely high morale.
The point is that they don't need to be paid, as long as they have enough food to eat, they will be willing to work for Hong Jinglai! The more government offices Hong Jinglai defeats, the stronger their combat effectiveness will be.
Looking back at the Hanyang court, the five-guard army in the city is said to have more than 40,000 people, and there are two groups of officer's sons and cavalry with over a thousand people. If there is a shortage, it will not be mentioned. It is a bad debt. The only ones who can be pulled out to fight in the field are the first battalion of the training camp.
horse.
Three hundred and five hundred people are not enough to send to Hong Jinglai. Hong Jinglai's climate has become such that as long as you coerce the good people, thousands of troops will be ready. As long as you don't care about the names of the bad people, one person and a stick can kill hundreds of you.
The officers and soldiers who came in for reinforcements.
But what if we mobilize three to five thousand people?
The training camp has not been paid for another three months!
If you want them to move, you have to make up for the arrears of wages, and at the same time increase the rewards and settle down the family members. This is at least two or three months of wages. Then you need to add weapons and purchase gunpowder and cannons. The total expenses are,
You can't get it without 150,000 and 200,000.
Can you, Jin Zuchun, persuade Park Zongqing to immediately spend 150,000 yuan?
That’s right! You can tell Li Wei that Hong Jinglai has created a puppet and wants to compete with you for the throne. Li Wei will definitely be anxious. He will force Pu Zongqing to give him money. Pu Zongqing will have to decide whether he agrees or not. Even if he agrees, he will be in pain.
Give me the money quickly?
If he doesn't delay you for three months, he won't call him Park Zongqing!
Once Hong Jinglai cannot be pacified after two or three months, things will become even more difficult to handle.
Because the rice in Heiandao and Hwanghaedo is ripe!
Regardless of whether there is a war or not, the governments in various places will not stop going to the countryside to collect tribute rice. It is a good thing that Hong Jinglai did not attack. If he took advantage of the autumn harvest and captured the prefectures and counties on a large scale, all these taxes would be cheaper for Hong Jinglai.
With two Taoist taxes in hand, he doesn't have a bunch of corrupt officials to support, nor a royal family that spends millions a year to support. He only needs to keep his army's mouth in check.
Will he kill corrupt officials to please the people? Will he distribute the excess money and food to the people? Will the people turn to Hong Jinglai on a large scale because of this?
Min Tinghye explained everything to Jin Zuchun thoroughly, hoping that Jin Zuchun would quickly come up with a charter and stop hesitating. The longer the delay, the more detrimental it would be to the Hanyang court. When the Hanyang court is over, everyone here will be the first to die.
Yours, Kim Jo-soon.
"What Tuncun said is reasonable, what is the plan for the present?" Jin Zuchun couldn't help but move out, pushing aside his useless brothers of the same clan, and came to Min Tingyue.
"This is very easy, but I don't know..." Min Tingyue glanced at the members of the Andong Jin family present.
"Come quickly!" Jin Zuchun really didn't think of any good solution for a while. Now that Min Tinghye has a solution, how can he not be in a hurry.
Chapter completed!
