PFC Chapter 171 Yuan Chonghuan’s Countermeasures
Chapter 171 Yuan Chonghuan’s Countermeasures
What happened in Qu/Fu.
It’s not that no one has doubted Zheng Fengshou and others.
Soon a group of people came forward to testify.
It was said that it happened that night.
Zheng Fengshou and his generals, both big and small, were all drunk at the banquet.
And no troops left the city at that time.
And this was the purpose of Zheng Fengshou hosting the banquet that night.
Moreover, Zheng Fengshou and his men had just taken over the city of Jinan.
He entered the city in the morning, took over the city defense and pacified the people.
A banquet was held in the evening.
In terms of time, Mao Wenlong and his colleagues did not have time to do this.
Another time is when holding a banquet.
At that time, there were others besides Zheng Fengshou and his men.
Some local people of status and reputation.
He was also invited to the banquet.
And those people are the best witnesses.
……
After Zheng Fengshou received the news that the K family was destroyed.
Send someone to check the situation immediately.
Naturally, nothing can be found out.
Then follow the exclusive mark of the bandit Xiang Batian.
Put the blame on Xiang Batian.
And immediately issued a wanted order for Xiang Batian.
For this purpose, a special team was dispatched to find and annihilate Xiang Batian.
And this is just the beginning.
After the news of the K family being wiped out spread.
Soon a terrifying storm of public opinion formed...
……
K's family died silently.
There was no movement at all at that time.
But many people heard the news.
He immediately burst into tears as if his parents had died.
Then they flocked to the local government and K Temple.
We strongly demand that the authorities investigate the truth and severely punish the murderer.
And people continue to go to K Temple to worship.
There are many readers.
She even knelt down in the Confucius Temple and fainted from crying.
That's really sad!
There is absolutely no trace of acting.
This shows that the influence of the K family is so great that it is beyond the imagination of ordinary people!
And as the news spread quickly to other areas.
Similar things are happening in other regions.
Then, under the speculation and promotion of some people with ulterior motives.
The spearhead was once again directed at Mao Wenlong and others.
Someone shouted: "What kind of bullshit alibi is this? The people in Jinan must have been bribed, so they gave false testimony to Mao Wenlong's men.
Just after Mao Wenlong's troops arrived in Jinan, such a tragedy happened in Qufu! How could such a coincidence happen in the world? "
"I also think this is too coincidental. Although no evidence has been found yet, I think it is very likely that Mao Wenlong and his gang did it!
Mao Wenlong himself is a crude and murderous person, and he has been targeted by the civil servant group many times in the past, so he must be holding a grudge, which is why he did such a treasonous thing..."
"That's not all! My friend, what you just said is just everyone's guess.
But look at what they did in the Beijing-Tianjin area? It is said that all the poets and scholars, wealthy merchants and businessmen there were killed by them.
So their frenzied annihilation of the K family is completely in line with their style. They want to destroy the thousand-year-old cultural heritage and the foundation of China. "
“My fellow students, please contact your relatives and friends as soon as possible, and let us all unite together.
I beg His Majesty and the imperial court to destroy the traitor Mao Wenlong. We will never forgive him..."
As the storm of public opinion continues to erupt.
In just two days.
Emperor Chongzhen had just entered Jiangsu Province along the Grand Canal.
I have already received the news that the K family has been destroyed.
The court ministers who followed Chongzhen to move south.
This time he cried and yelled and refused to leave.
They all shouted that they wanted to fight Mao Wenlong to the death.
They all requested the court to send troops to eliminate Mao Wenlong and his men.
And with the civil servants in the court taking the lead.
Countless scholars flocked to the Grand Canal and to the place where Emperor Chongzhen's carriage was located.
The Grand Canal was even blocked.
Emperor Chongzhen quickly summoned his trusted ministers.
Discuss how to deal with this matter?
Duke Yingguo and Wang Huazhen, Yuan Chonghuan and Wang Chengen.
They met Emperor Chongzhen together.
Emperor Chongzhen asked: "I'm sure you all know what happened outside. Can you please tell me what we should do now?"
Wang Huazhen: “Your Majesty, according to the intelligence from various places, Mao Wenlong and his men have a large number of magical weapons and also magical weapons that can fly in the sky.
Furthermore, the power of those magic weapons and artifacts is so great that conquering cities is as easy as eating and drinking, so sending out troops is absolutely not feasible."
Duke of England: "Your Majesty, what the king said makes sense. I second the motion."
Yuan Chonghuan: "I second your opinion. Whether it is the ministers in the court or the noble families in various places, they all have their own sources of information.
It is impossible that they were completely unaware of what was happening on the front line. However, they still asked the court to send troops to fight Mao Wenlong. In my opinion, they probably had ulterior motives.
There is another thing. I found that those who reacted most strongly to this matter were basically officials born in the Jiangnan region.
I think they not only want the court to send troops, but also want to take advantage of this rare opportunity to stop the court from moving south..."
Emperor Chongzhen nodded after hearing this.
He also didn't think that the imperial court would have any chance of winning if it sent troops against Mao Wenlong and his men.
But now the public out there is in turmoil and the situation is turbulent.
And it has the potential to sweep the world.
I want to suppress this matter.
I’m afraid this is difficult to handle!
Emperor Chongzhen: "What you said, my dear ministers, coincides with what I think. The question now is, how should the court respond?"
This incident has caused too much trouble.
The influence is too terrifying.
Britain's King Huazhen could not think of a way to deal with the situation immediately.
I have always been listening to Wang Chengen's words.
When Emperor Chongzhen was discussing matters with his ministers.
Wang Chengen usually doesn't speak casually...
Yuan Chonghuan, on the other hand, saw that no one else was talking.
He took the opportunity to express his thoughts: "Your Majesty, I have a plan that may be of some use."
Chongzhen: "Oh, please speak, Mr. Yuan."
Yuan Chonghuan: "Your Majesty, since so many people have asked the court to send troops, considering their patriotism, it is not impossible to fulfill their wish.
However, considering that the court is currently short of soldiers and generals, and the food and grass reserves are seriously insufficient, it would be a good idea to have someone do some statistics and incorporate all the young and strong men who requested the court to send troops into the Northern Expedition Army to make up for the shortage of troops.
In addition, let those wealthy merchants who strongly demanded to send troops provide food and supplies for the Northern Expedition Army. Since they support the court so much, isn't it natural for them to provide assistance to the court's army? "
Emperor Chongzhen's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Duke of England and Wang Huazhen and others.
Hearing this, he was startled.
I feel that Yuan Chonghuan is too cunning and treacherous!
He actually came up with such a cunning countermeasure.
It seems I should try not to offend him in the future.
Otherwise, it is very likely to cause big trouble...
……
Emperor Chongzhen was very happy.
I think Yuan Chonghuan’s countermeasure is really brilliant.
He asked several of his trusted ministers, "What do you think, my dear ministers?"
Wang Huazhen: "Master Yuan, this is a brilliant plan, but I'm afraid there will be trouble if we do this!"
Duke of England: "Those guys are good at talking, but if you ask them to fight, they definitely won't do it.
As for asking them to provide food and supplies, that is even more impossible. Maybe they are planning to take advantage of the opportunity to send troops to reap benefits! How could they pay out of their own pockets? "
Yuan Chonghuan: "What the Duke of Ying and Lord Wang said is reasonable, precisely because they are unwilling to go to war and are unwilling to provide food and supplies.
This is the only way to shut them up and force them to give up their desire for the imperial court to send troops. This is called using their own spear to attack their own shield, and let them collapse without being attacked..."
Duke of England: "Sir Yuan, don't forget the incident of His Majesty falling into the water. Once those people's interests are violated, they will do anything!"
Yuan Chonghuan: "I am certainly aware of this, so from now on, the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang people will work together to strengthen the protection of your majesty..."
Emperor Chongzhen: "Okay, let's do this. Let's mobilize the people of the East Factory and the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Anyone who makes unusual moves must be found to have evidence of their crimes and be severely punished..."
