More than 30 strong men rushed in one direction, with a rainbow of momentum! The crowd automatically avoided both sides and exposed a passage!
At the end of the passage, a figure appeared!
Although she was dressed in ordinary clothes, at that moment, countless figures surged, and only this figure remained motionless like a mountain, highlighting the extremely tall and majestic figure!
The big figures on the observation deck were also moved!
The richest man in Lushan County - at least in Lushan County, everyone calls him the richest man in the county - Zhang Chuji, looked puzzled: "Lao Peng, is this from your county?"
Lao Peng - the rich man in Xingjing County - Peng Shihuai shook his head: "No, our Xingjing County has seven dragon boats, and I all recognize them. There is no impression of this Guimao dragon boat at all." He turned to look at the other side, "Brother Liu, is it from your county?"
Brother Liu, a big businessman from Ya'an County, also looked puzzled: "I have formed eight teams in Ya'an. I have sponsored a lot of money. They have trained for several months and I have visited many condolences. I know almost everyone, but I have no impression of any of these people. Who is that person?" He asked at the lonely figure in the vast sea of people.
Everyone next to him shook their heads, but heard the Yazhou prefect Cao Guangshi and Cao suddenly say, "Don't you know him?"
Liu Zichen's eyes flashed: "Can you... know me?"
Cao Guangshi said lightly: "He is the magistrate of Yucheng, and Lord Chen Lin and Lord Chen."
"Mr. Chen, the governor of Yucheng?"
"Why did he come? None of the other county magistrates came!"
They suddenly realized another problem. Why do they all know that the prefect is going to visit the competition site in person, why don’t these prefects come? Logically speaking, this is an excellent opportunity to get closer to the prefect? Is it because I don’t come together? Is it because I want to express some intention? This is not a good sign! What businessmen are most afraid of is that the government changes its orders every day, or are angry with splints. If the prefect and the prefect cannot pee in the same pot, then they have to act carefully. Although the prefect is a senior, the prefect is a "outsider" transferred from thousands of miles away. It can be said that he is not familiar with the place. Many of the governance methods need support and cooperation from the people below to implement. If these prefects join forces to fight against the prefect, the prefect will basically be undermined.
Of course, businessmen like Liu Zichen will not easily take sides. Merchants value profit over righteousness, and even if the magistrates have the upper hand, they will not show any disrespect to the magistrate! Who dares to explain what the situation will be like?
Cao Guangshi said meaningfully: "It's the same whether you come or not."
So what if you come, so what if you don’t come?
Liu Zichen and others clearly heard the domineering aura in Cao Guang’s truth!
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and they all saw the meaning of "waiting and seeing" in the other party's eyes! It seems that there will be a good show on the territory of Yazhou in the future.
Qiu Qingquan, a rich man from Qingxi County, said: "For ten years, the dragon boats in Yucheng County have never entered the second round, so there was no one who sponsored the competition in the end. In the end, the people of Yucheng County were shameless and brave enough to spontaneously organize the establishment of a dragon boat team, but unfortunately they still did not improve at all. I didn't expect that they would make a big splash today!"
Cao Guangshi's eyes flashed: "It's not just the Dragon Boat Team in Yucheng that made a big splash!"
The new rich man from Hanyuan County, Mo Xuyou, said: "Yes, the one who really made a big splash is Chen Lin and Chen Magistrate!"
Everyone stared at Chen Lin.
More than thirty men came to Chen Lin and bowed under him!
"Meet Lord Chen!" More than thirty people shouted in unison like thunder, which was quite awe-inspiring!
All the people were shocked!
Yuan Zishan said: "I didn't expect that man was so popular! I heard them call him Lord Chen, is he an official?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "I heard from the people on the observation deck that he is Chen Lin, the magistrate of Yucheng County."
Yuan Zishan said: "I suddenly discovered a problem!"
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "Do you want to say that just one county magistrate appeared? Why didn't those county magistrates come?"
Yuan Zishan glanced at him sideways, "You are the worm in my belly? Why do you know everything?"
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "I just guessed it through your tone."
Yuan Zishan said: "Then, what's weird here?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "There is no weirdness. I'm probably old-fashioned. The new official wants to make three fires when he takes office, but those old guys just can't burn it. Cao Guangshi takes office alone, and it's not easy to open up the situation."
"Don't the emperor understand that the water here is very deep? Why don't you have a major blood change? Do you have to let Cao Guangshi play alone?"
"Southern Han, Southern Tang, Wu and Yue have used a lot of officials from the Song Dynasty. Now Da Shu has just collected the territory and has to appoint a large number of officials to serve. To put it bluntly, talents are scarce and stretched. They can't send some people here casually, right?"
"Then there is no way for the disobedient county magistrate? Can't you kill it directly?"
"This world was defeated. If you still kill blindly while maintaining your career, there will be two consequences. One may arouse civil unrest and fight everywhere, because you do not leave a way out for people! The other is that under high pressure, you will receive short-term surrender, but you must not close your eyes because they are always looking for opportunities to replace you! Not to mention the nearest thing, just talk about how Zhang Fei died during the Three Kingdoms period? He was cut off his head by his subordinates while he was resting! Why
Want to cut off his head? Are they all from Shu? Are they all from the same team? It can even be said that they are a family, why do they kill him? Isn’t it because Zhang Fei hit them with a few whips? The two soldiers were not afraid of death on the battlefield, and they were afraid of being beaten? What they were afraid of was not the pain caused by those whips, but Zhang Fei could not get out of the stage in front of everyone! Just like a slap in the face in public, it was not very harmful, but extremely insulting! So the smart ruler will not use violence indiscriminately!”
Feng Jiuxiao paused for a moment and continued: "Just like this attack on Shu was relatively smooth. I think the first reason was that the Song Dynasty was very well prepared. Various military supplies had long been concentrated in the border areas in advance. The two armies advanced side by side and made relatively smooth progress. The second reason was that the logistics support of the Shu army was not effective! It was obviously fighting at their home court, but they were defeated step by step! What does it mean? Either their combat effectiveness is not good, or they are unpopular! As long as one of them is occupied, it will be difficult for the Song Dynasty to conquer Shu! In the past, in Anjishan, Shi Siming conquered cities and plundered the land, and was invincible. How many Tang generals fled when they were looking for the wind? But when they arrived in Suiyang, they stopped and finally had to stop the flag?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yuan Zishan said: "Why?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "The Battle of Suiyang is enough to be famous in history! In the first year of Zhide of Emperor Suzong of Tang Dynasty, in order to open up Suiyang to Jianghuai, the rebels sent general Yin Ziqi to lead 130,000 troops to attack Suiyang. Xu Yuan, the prefect of Suiyang, sought help from Yongqiu defense censor Zhang Xun. Zhang Xun led 3,000 troops into Suiyang from Ningling. The two sides joined forces, and a total of 6,800 people! 130,000 troops were fought, 6,800, you said you could fight?"
Yuan Zishan said: "It's easy to fight in theory! It's almost twenty to one, can't you win?"
Pang Shiwu came over again at this time, "That's right, 130,000 people can't beat 6,800 people? Just brother, I'm so sorry, these 130,000 people have lost? I can't kill even 130,000 pigs, right?"
Zeng Yong also said behind him: "Yes, I can't win this?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "This is the second condition I mentioned! Suiyang City is the unity of the military and civilians! This battle lasted for ten months!"
Zeng Yong frowned and said, "I've been fighting for ten months? Isn't this nearly a year?"
Yuan Zishan sighed a little, "Spring, summer, autumn and winter, four seasons! There are both scorching heat and severe cold. I really can't imagine how tragic the scene of the bloody battle between the two sides was at that time!"
Pang Shiwu said: "How miserable can it be? It's not much different from the battle between Jingyang, right?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "It's different! None of the people in Jingyang appeared on the top of the city! But the people in Suiyang City were dispatched by their whole family, regardless of men, women, young and old, as long as they could move. Do you think, can it be the same with the support of the people?"
Everyone fell into silence for a moment.
Yes, even if there are only 100,000 people in the city, it is equivalent to 100,000 logistics soldiers! At the critical moment, some young and middle-aged people can still rush to the top of the city to turn into soldiers and fight with the enemy with bloody battles! One falls, another rushing up! One falls, another rushing up! As long as the people of Suiyang have not dispersed their fighting spirit, they will fight to the end!
Feng Jiuxiao said: "This is how to gain the Tao and help!"
Yuan Zishan whispered: "There are many people who have attained the Tao, and few people who have lost the Tao. If there are few who have helped, the relatives will stand by them; if there are many who have helped, the world will follow them. If there are so many who have helped, the world will follow them. If there are so many who have to fight, the gentleman will win the battle. I understand." The passage she read is from "Mencius: Gongsun Chouxiao". She understood why the court clearly knew that those county magistrates could cause trouble, but could not serve them casually.
Because what the emperor wants is "the world follows it"!
If you don’t like someone, you will kill him. If you feel embarrassed, you will find someone to punish him. This kind of rule is the most vulgar and unsatisfactory method, and sooner or later it will arouse resistance.
Yuan Zishan said: "What will Cao Guangshi do?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "It's just those tricks. It's about winning over a group, alienating a group, suppressing a group. It makes the enemy small and the friends many. When most people stand on your side, you will have strength to speak."
Zeng Yong smiled, "It's a pity that you don't go to be an official."
Pang Shiwu said: "My eldest brother is an official, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Imperial City Department, a senior official!"
Zeng Yong learned Pang Shiwu's tone, "High Official!" Not only did he grasp the tone, but his expression was even extremely exaggerated, showing Pang Shiwu's straightforward characteristics in a wonderful and vivid way, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Pang Shiwu said: "What are you laughing at? Did I say it wrong?"
Feng Jiuxiao said, "Okay, 15, to be honest, my identity as an envoy is purely for the emperor to take care of my face. He doesn't have to go to court or face the saint. He looks elegant and indifferent. In fact, the emperor does not give me real power. After all, Eunuch Wei has the final say in the Imperial City Department. Apart from the title of the deputy envoy, which yamen is under my control?"
Pang Shiwu said: "Brother, don't talk about this, I'll ask you, which yamen dares to challenge you?"
Feng Jiuxiao was stopped for a moment!
Zeng Yong smiled and said, "That's right. You said you are not an official, but who yamen officials are not allowed to be polite when they see you?"
La Jiao smiled and said, "So Fifteen is right. You are an official, you are still a high-ranking official, the boss's official!" She measured it deliberately.
Feng Jiuxiao pretended to be angry and said, "You girl, you dare to mock me, right?"
Yuan Zishan suddenly said, "What's wrong with mocking you?"
Feng Jiuxiao suddenly felt a chill surge on his spine, penetrated his bone marrow! He immediately changed his face and laughed, "It's rare to be ridiculed, I'm very relieved!"
Pang Shiwu and Zeng Yong looked at each other.
Pang Shiwu deliberately frowned and said, "Brother, where is our backbone?"
Zeng Yong made another blow and pretended to whisper: "Jiuxiao, we were still standing tall just now, why are we a little... a little soft now?" He pretended to speak in a low voice, but his voice was loud, afraid that people around him would not hear it! Sure enough, many people around him looked at them, but soon turned their heads. The next group of dragon boat competitions was the focus of their attention! That involved their own money!
Chang Zijin smiled and said, "What are you going to do? Do you want to revolt?"
Pang Shiwu smiled, "Then I don't dare! But it's okay to scold my elder brother!"
Feng Jiuxiao glared at him, "I haven't seen a sharp increase in temper for a moment, are you brave?"
Suddenly the crowd began to scream again, and everyone's attention turned to the river again. Eight dragon boats rushed forward in unison and rushed out of the starting line and galloped forward!
Feng Jiuxiao looked at Chen Lin, the magistrate of Yucheng County, and saw that he had already left the scene with all the "warriors" of Guimao. Their event today has ended, and tomorrow will be the other four group matches, and the semi-finals will be the day after tomorrow. I don’t know if they will play the day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Actually, it's just like this. Do you still want to stick to the final day?" He looked at Yuan Zishan.
Yuan Zishan said, "I don't care, what about you?" She glanced around.
Pang Shiwu took the lead in proclaiming, "I don't care. I watched dragon boat racing when I was a child and I had no interest in this."
Chili said: "Me too. I saw the fierce confrontation between the eight dragon boats just now, which was very exciting, but we don't gamble..."
Yuan Zishan knocked her head, "Hmm? Do you still want to gamble?"
La Jiao looked aggrieved, "How could that be, Miss? People don't even look down on me!"
Bigwolf knew that Feng Jiuxiao wanted to rush the road, so he followed, "I don't want to see it anymore."
Chang Zijin said, "I don't want to see it anymore. There are too many people, so it's so noisy."
Erni said, "Yes, they made my ears buzz, it was so noisy."
Feng Jiuxiao said, "Then let's go."
Pang Shiwu said: "Brother, didn't you say that the guy who is not afraid of the cold on the other side is an unknown origin? Let's take him out, how about it? Soon."
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Does Longyou Gang need you?"
Pang Shiwu said: "Brother, don't that guy know that there are many people in Longyou Gang? He dares to come here with too many people. What does it mean? It means they are not afraid of Longyou Gang!"
