Chapter 1182. All kinds of states in Liaodong (3).
…
…
Hujiazhuang is located at the southern end of the West Road Defense Zone in Liaodong Town. It covers an area of only 300 acres and has less than 100 villagers. It is a very inconspicuous and ordinary village.
But in the past few days, because Zhao Junchen claimed that he had a "serious illness" here, all the important people in Liaodong heard the news and rushed to Hujiazhuang.
For a time, the small Hujiazhuang actually replaced Jinzhou and Liaoyang and became the core of military and political affairs in the Liaodong region.
Zhao Junchen knew very well that Hujiazhuang would soon become a place where people meet, and the situation he would face next would be extremely complicated.
The unscrupulous warlords in border towns, the eye-catching careerists, the politicians who follow the wind, the speculators who fish in troubled waters, the despicable villains with ulterior motives...perhaps also include the common people who are willing to be exploited by mermaids...all kinds of characters,
Various positions and completely different interest demands are what Zhao Junchen must face.
For these different characters, different positions, and different demands, Zhao Junchen must also put on different faces, adopt different attitudes, and make different decisions.
When Zhao Junchen thought of these things, he felt a little headache and a little uneasy.
This anxiety was mainly due to the fact that it was the first time that I deliberately used conspiracy methods and could not predict what the final effect would be.
This time, Zhao Junchen took Liaodong Town as the touchstone for his first attempt at conspiracy. He seemed to be extremely courageous, as if he didn't take Liaodong Town seriously at all.
But in fact, Zhao Junchen knew very well that the reason why he chose to use conspiracy methods to deal with Liaodong Town was just because Liaodong Town had too great advantages and strength, so there was no room for the conspiracy methods that Zhao Junchen was good at.
In Liaodong, compared with Liaodong Town, which had a stable and unshakable position, Zhao Junchen only had an advantage in two places - one was that his trip represented the great justice of the court, and the other was that he held the financial power of the temple in his hands.
Based on these two advantages, using conspiracy methods to deal with Liaodong Town became Zhao Junchen's only choice.
Compared with the art of conspiracy, the method of conspiracy may be a more sophisticated method, but conspiracy also has the advantage of conspiracy, that is, concealment!
When carrying out a conspiracy, as long as the planning and arrangement are clever enough and everything goes smoothly during the execution, the enemy can die in an unexplained way. Even when death is imminent, you don't know by whose hands you will die, and you can only act like a confused ghost.
, if you disguise it well, you can even make this fool feel grateful and trust his wife and children.
But conspiracy is completely different. Most conspiracy has no concealment at all. Even if it can temporarily deceive the enemy, the enemy will come back to it sooner or later.
In short, when the conspiracy is unfolding, I tell you clearly - your enemy is me, and I am going to kill you. You can resist with all your strength, but all your resistance is destined to be just a death struggle.
From this point of view, the so-called conspiracy means that there is no turning back. Once you use conspiracy methods, if you do not completely kill your opponent, you will add an irreconcilable and powerful enemy to yourself!
Zhao Junchen now wants to use conspiracy to deal with Liaodong Town, just to face such a situation.
Of course Zhao Junchen knew that his "serious illness" was fake;
All parties in Liaodong also knew that Zhao Junchen's "serious illness" was false;
Zhao Junchen also knew that all forces in Liaodong already knew that his "serious illness" was false;
All parties in Liaodong also knew that Zhao Junchen knew that they already knew that Zhao Junchen's "serious illness" was fake...
But everyone is pretending not to know.
All in all, everyone knows very well that Zhao Junchen's "serious illness" is a plan for Liaodong Town, which is to take the opportunity to attack Liaodong Town. This situation must have aroused the hostility of the behemoth Liaodong Town.
Therefore, Zhao Junchen's conspiracy this time must not fail, otherwise his prestige will be greatly damaged and it will become a joke;
It is absolutely not possible to just be slightly better, have a slight advantage, and let Liaodong Town just receive some painful lessons. Otherwise, it will trigger Liaodong Town's complete hostility and full-scale revenge. It can be said to be endless troubles and will only ruin Zhao Junchen's future.
The situation is getting worse.
Only by winning a great victory did Liaodong Town suffer a serious setback. They were in chaos and couldn't take care of themselves. Even if they knew that all this was Zhao Junchen's conspiracy, they could only bow their heads and beg Zhao Junchen to help them.
Only by not daring to retaliate and resist easily in the future can we be considered a true success.
Precisely because of such extremely high requirements, Zhao Junchen naturally felt a little uneasy and did not have much confidence.
Moreover, when Zhao Junchen left the capital, he thought that his trip to Liaodong was just a formality, so he did not bring any of his staff with him. At this time, there was no one to discuss it, and he could only think about it alone.
Take it all in, bear everything.
The last time Zhao Junchen felt like this and faced such pressure was when he just came into this world.
*
On this day, in the most spacious room in Hujiazhuang, Zhao Junchen was still reading the books in his hands, with a rather emotional expression on his face.
"With a sharp blade in hand, there will be murderous intent... I suddenly decided to use conspiracy methods to deal with Liaodong Town a few days ago, not only because I was furious after witnessing the tragic situation of the people, but also because after careful study, I believed that I was not responsible for the conspiracy.
The means have already yielded some gains, so there is always an idea deep down in my heart that I am ready to try...
But even if you want to regret it now, it's too late. You can only bite the bullet and go on in the dark, hoping that your methods will have significant results... Impulsiveness is indeed the devil, but if you don't act impulsive, you will regret it for the rest of your life...
People are always so entangled and contradictory, even I am not immune..."
After sighing for a while, Zhao Junchen quickly fell into deep thought again and thought: "But after careful thinking over the past few days, I have found many countermeasures...
When facing Liaodong Town, the righteousness of the court and the financial power of the temple are my only two advantages. These two advantages are not big or small. If I can use them well, they will be enough to affect many things...
…
The four major conspiracies in history, whether it is to push the favor order, to surround Wei and save Zhao, to kill three soldiers with two peaches, or to order the princes from the emperor, as long as I make good use of my own advantages, I can learn from them, and I can also come up with some tricks, which are enough to make Liaodong
To suppress the chaos, the key is to grasp the timing of taking action, whether it is too early or too late..."
Just as Zhao Junchen was thinking about this, a loud military song suddenly sounded outside the room, and Zhao Junchen's thoughts were interrupted.
But Zhao Junchen was not unhappy at all. Hujiazhuang only had such a small area, and it was absolutely impossible not to interfere with each other when doing things.
What's more, those people singing military songs outside the room are all the Imperial Army officers responsible for escorting Zhao Junchen on this trip. They will practice this military song repeatedly, and it is entirely because of Zhao Junchen's instruction.
Therefore, after Zhao Junchen was interrupted from his thoughts, he closed his eyes and listened quietly for a moment.
“You should be filial to your son, and loyal to your ministers; when you write a song to urge you to something important, you must remember every word clearly...
...The imperial court tried its best to collect money and food, and did not hesitate to pay heavy wages to support the soldiers; one soldier was fed and clothed a hundred taels, and a seventh-level magistrate had the same amount; if he was selfish for his own benefit, the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth would not tolerate it; since ancient times, there were many generals and ministers in the army, and they were not allowed to serve as soldiers.
You look down on yourself; you are really brave when you go into battle, and your fate will be saved naturally; you defend the country's borders wholeheartedly, and kill the enemy invaders to make a meritorious service; if you shrink back and follow military orders, you will have a bad reputation...
...Remember to be kind to the people, and all food and wages depend on them; as long as the soldiers and the people become one family, the common people will succeed in helping each other...
... First, it is taboo to rape a woman, who is not the child of your parents? Your family also has a wife and daughter, how can you do it if you are humiliated? Second, don’t have evil thoughts when you see money, the robber will eventually be punished; no matter how much gold and silver you get, the underworld will be in vain. Third
You must obey the imperial court's orders carefully, and disobeying orders beyond your bounds is not a minor crime...!"
After listening to this military song, Zhao Junchen nodded with satisfaction and whispered to himself: "These Forbidden Army soldiers are not stupid at all. They learned this military song in a few days."
This military song was originally a military song of the Beiyang Army in history. Zhao Junchen had heard it once by chance. Although it is not a great classic, it is not a great meaning, and the preaching meaning is too obvious, but the advantage is that it is simple and easy to understand.
It was catchy, so I wrote down a few sentences.
In the past few days, Zhao Junchen specially took time to revise and fill in the lyrics, and then taught this military song to the Forbidden Army soldiers around him.
When they come into contact with Liaodong Town, the Forbidden Army soldiers will sing this song repeatedly, taking the opportunity to spread this military song to the border troops in Liaodong Town.
Of course, the border army officers and soldiers in Liaodong Town may not necessarily be convinced of the various principles described in this military song, and Zhao Junchen did not expect that the Liaodong officers and soldiers would have a profound enlightenment and change their past mistakes after hearing this military song.
In fact, although this military song has hundreds of words, Zhao Junchen only memorized one of the lyrics at the beginning, and now he just wants to let all Liaodong soldiers hear this lyrics.
This lyrics is - "A soldier eats and clothing a hundred taels, and a seventh-grade magistrate has the same"!
"When the soldiers of Liaodong heard these lyrics, and I added fuel to the fire, how would they react? Is it confusion? Is it questioning? Or is it anger?"
Thinking of this, a sneer appeared at the corner of Zhao Junchen's mouth.
At this time, Jiang Quan, a member of the Forbidden Army, hurriedly came to the door and reported: "To inform Zhao Gechen, I have inquired about the situation in the nearby villages and returned to report to you."
The door was still open, so Zhao Junchen raised his head and glanced at Jiang Quan, then raised his hand and said, "Come in and talk."
When Jiang Quan came to his side, Zhao Junchen asked again: "What are the specific conditions in the nearby villages?"
Jiang Quan looked indignant and replied in a deep voice: "As you expected, the situation in Hujiazhuang is not an isolated case. The nearby villages also encountered extortion from the Liaodong frontier troops. Many innocent people were victimized by the Liaodong border troops."
The border troops framed them as rebels, and villagers like Hujiazhuang were killed, and there were many cases where their wives and daughters were kidnapped."
Zhao Junchen asked again: "Are there family members of the Liaodong border army officers and soldiers here who are also affected?"
Jiang Quan nodded first, then shook his head, and said: "Liaodong Town actually attaches great importance to the morale of the soldiers. During the blackmail and frame-up, they deliberately avoided the direct family members of the lieutenants and generals, so these people did not suffer much compared to ordinary people.
spread……
But you also know that the border army has always been a mixed bag, good and bad, and there will always be some people who do things unscrupulously. Therefore, I still found three village households. Their families all have children who serve as border soldiers in Liaodong Town, but they are still affected.
, or brothers and parents were beaten and killed, or wives, daughters and sisters were kidnapped... As for distant relatives, friends and neighbors being affected, there are even more cases!
What's more, Liaodong Town is extorting and smashing everywhere this time. Even the direct family members of the frontier soldiers must donate "military food", so even if the relatives of these frontier soldiers are not affected,
Harm is also a sign of dissatisfaction in the heart."
This was something that had been expected. After Zhao Junchen nodded lightly, he asked again: "Then did you ask for family letters from them?"
Jiang Quan replied again: "This is something you have repeatedly ordered. Naturally, I dare not neglect it because of my humble position. After finding out the situation, I immediately asked them for their family letters, saying that I would help them pass them on to their relatives in the military. Even those who were affected by
I also asked for a letter from all the distant relatives and close friends who were persecuted.
It's just because most of these people are illiterate, so these family letters are almost all written by Beizi's ghostwriter, and Beizi's wrists are swollen after writing these letters!"
After saying that, Jiang Quan took out a thick stack of family letters from his arms, at least thirty or forty copies, and then handed them to Zhao Junchen with both hands.
Zhao Junchen flipped through a few of them and quickly nodded with satisfaction: "Thank you for your hard work. You did a good job. You deserve to be my old department!"
Hearing Zhao Junchen's compliment, Jiang Quan immediately became excited, and even his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
But then, Jiang Quan seemed to have thought of something, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked: "Zhao Gechen, you collected these family letters, but you want to shake the morale of the soldiers in Liaodong Town? But I feel that the effect will be insignificant..."
Hearing Jiang Quan's question, Zhao Junchen was not angry, but smiled softly, planning to explain a few words.
But before Zhao Junchen could speak, he saw Xu Qingyan stumbled into the room, shouting with a somewhat panicked expression: "Here we come! He Yu, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong Town, is here in person, and he is bringing many frontier cavalry with him!"
