Chapter 1218: The purpose is to make trouble
At this moment, sitting opposite Zhou Shuguang was Tian Kang from the Eagle Nest of the Ming Dynasty. After solving the problem of Jiang Shangyan in Jinghu County, he changed his identity and sneaked into Kunling County to meet Zhou Shuguang secretly. The purpose of his trip was to give Zhou Shuguang how to set off a rebellion in Bozhou, attract the attention of the emperor of Qi, delay Cao Tiancheng's pace of reforming Qi, and give those families who were severely injured a chance to breathe.
For Emperor Cao Tiancheng of Qi, the aristocratic family was a cancer. They were entrenched on the huge body of Qi, eating meat and drinking blood. It would be fine if they were just like this, but they still wanted to point fingers at this body and let it follow his wishes. This would be unbearable. In order to eliminate the aristocratic family, Cao Tiancheng had been planning for many years. While trying to strengthen the emperor's authority and concentrate the imperial power, he used all the power he could to deal with these unrestrained guys.
He is very close to success.
The honey and the arsenic of my arsenic are naturally what Qin Feng wants to do. It is best to fight to the death of the aristocratic family and Emperor Cao Tiancheng. This is the most beneficial thing to the Ming Dynasty.
Bozhou naturally became Qin Feng’s first choice.
All the elite troops on the sea of Zhou had already surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, which also gave the Ming Dynasty a third fleet. In Yuejing City, Qin Feng secretly met Zhou Baozhen, the general of Zhou who led his troops to return, and encouraged him. Needless to say, he waved his hand and Zhou's fleet was still under the command of Zhou Baozhen, which made Zhou feel relieved.
For Qin Feng, there is no need to take these ships of Zhou from the Zhou family. The Ming Dynasty's navy can not only support itself, but also pay profits to the court. There will be more and more Ming ships on the sea, and the three fleets will be greatly expanded in the future. In a few years, the main personnel of the Ming Dynasty's navy will become generals and sailors trained by the Ming Dynasty themselves. What is Qin Feng's worrying about?
For Qin Feng, as long as the big tree in the Ming Dynasty grows stronger and stronger, the vines and vines that cling to it will only hold the big tree tighter without any other thoughts.
If Bozhou wants to do business, it will naturally have to use silver and money. Qin Feng is willing to use this money to slow down the pace of Qi's centralization. It is best to make him messy.
Tian Kang is here to do this.
However, I didn't expect that someone would jump out and be willing to help the Ming Dynasty pay the money. This is of course a great thing. In Tian Kang's opinion, this is not a small amount of money. How much can the Ming Dynasty do after saving this money? It can build more and better roads, more channels, and more houses. In the Ming Dynasty, this money can make more people change their living conditions and become richer, rather than turning into a wisp of blue smoke and disappear without a trace during the war in Bozhou.
Of course, the vision of these inherited families in Qi is indeed vicious, and the methods are even more shocking. For the benefit of the family, they use any means to draw the emperor's ladder, regardless of the life and death of Qi. Standing on the national standpoint, Tian Kang gritted his teeth at the actions of the family.
No wonder many of His Majesty's policies in China are silently restricting the development of the Ming family, but even so, some families in the Ming Dynasty are becoming stronger and stronger. Today, I saw with my own eyes how these inherited families in Qi deal with the emperor. The string in Tian Kang's heart that was still feeling something was tightened immediately.
The Ming Dynasty must not have such a thing. It will slowly and silently corrode a healthy body, making this body eventually turn into a monster that is not very similar.
Tian Kang now understands why Guo Jiuling and Commander Guo, His Majesty the Emperor, are willing to let him take over the Eagle Nest instead of choosing Tian Zhen, who is older.
This is to guard against the disaster of the aristocratic family! What is the Eagle Nest? It is the dark hand of the Ming Dynasty, the sword hidden in the dark. If he is controlled by the family forces, it will probably be a terrifying thing.
No one knows better than Tian Kang's huge energy in the Eagle's Nest.
Tian Kang is a miserable person. His wife Zi Luo has encountered great ups and downs. Even the child cannot be given birth to Tian Kang. It was the emperor who pulled them out of the quagmire.
The nominal Shangguan Yamen, the Chief Censor of the Eagle Nest, is also responsible for the responsibility of all the officials in the Linchao. The Chief Censor of the Eagle Nest and the Chief Censor of the Eagle Nest are also from a poor family. The Chief Censor of the Eagle Nest and the Chief Censor of the Eagle Nest are two sharp swords, both of which are controlled by people like them. Now Tian Kang has finally realized the profound meaning of this arrangement.
When a large family is time to be cut, they must be cut. They must not grow to the level of the current Qi family, otherwise it will be unimaginable that the disaster will be severe.
"Mr. Tian, what kind of constitution should I do after I return to Bozhou? Can Your Majesty show me?" Zhou Shuguang looked at Tian Kang and asked eagerly.
"Now the Emperor of Qi and those aristocratic families must put the blame on you. Or in Cao Tiancheng's view, your Zhou family in Bozhou is already dying and cannot cause any harm, so he will come to deal with you unscrupulously, so we naturally have to surprise him." Tian Kang smiled and said, "After Lord Zhou returned to Bozhou, he immediately began to arrange this matter, and our support will also arrive in Bozhou in the shortest time. These people are now ready to go to Baoqing Port."
"It's so good. My Zhou family can be called a hero on the sea, but there are indeed no generals on the land." Zhou Shuguang nodded repeatedly.
"If you don't move, you will be able to make a big splash. We must burn the war all over Bozhou and drive out all the emperor's power from Bozhou in the shortest time." Tian Kang smiled.
"In this way, my Zhou family will really become the target of public criticism." Zhou Shuguang said.
"What kind of alliance in Qi State? Since you have given you so much money, we must do something for them!" Tian Kang laughed: "After Cao Tiancheng was caught off guard, he would definitely react that someone was making trouble. He could also guess that among the people who made trouble, we must be our Ming Dynasty, but what made him even more trouble was probably these inherited families of Qi State. So his primary goal is to wipe you out and kill chickens for monkeys to see."
"In this way, I will definitely not be able to hold on." Zhou Shuguang nodded.
"After the initial strategic expansion, the next step is naturally strategic contraction." Tian Kang walked to the map hanging by the wall, pointed to the ground where Bozhou was located, and said, "This is how your Majesty arranged it. When Cao Tiancheng's army came to suppress it, we should not fight with it head-on, but give up most of the places and mainly shrink the defense points."
Tian Kang's hand slid over the map, "The strength of the Zhou family is on the sea, and we only need a few strongholds on the land. Each of these places is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if Cao Tiancheng came out to drive Long Xiang, I don't think they can catch it under the defense of our Ming soldiers."
"Then it's time for the Navy to show its skills. As long as you catch the opportunity, you will beat them and bite them hard. In this process, I believe that the head of the Zhou family can have countless means to ask those inherited families to spend more money to support you. As long as you are making trouble, they will definitely keep paying."
"I can't stand it in Bozhou, so the emperor of Qi dared not kill the aristocratic families because he was also afraid that Zhou Jiyun would be able to defend you in Kunling County. You have the sea to rely on. The State of Chu is behind Zhou Jiyun, so he is not afraid of forcing him to force him to force him to surrender. Zhou Jiyun simply surrendered to the State of Chu? When it really came to that point, those inherited families in the land where Qi was about to rush to make trouble, and Qi was afraid that they would be full of wicked people and their lives were in trouble."
"If this is the case, it will be easier." Zhou Shuguang said with a sneer.
"Cao Tiancheng is not so stupid. Before you are completely pacified, or before Zhou Jiyun is completely defeated by Bian Wushuang, he will not act rashly. What our Ming Dynasty wants is just to delay his completion of centralization. We will soon conquer the last fortress of Qin, Yongdu, and after conquering Yongdu, the entire Qin State will enter the territory of our Ming Dynasty. This takes time to digest. Governing and pacifying Qin State is not a simple matter. After completely digesting Qin State, our goal will turn to Chu State. At this time, we do not want a powerful empire to compete with us for Chu State. Let Qi fall into this civil strife and cannot extricate itself is our best choice."
Tian Kang walked back to Zhou Shuguang and sat down, his eyes shining, "After we completed the final arrangement in Chu, Qi State was not worth worrying. We already had enough capital to compete with Cao Tiancheng for the world. In the past, the Three Kingdoms fought against Qi, and everyone had their own thoughts, so naturally they could not use one place. At the critical moment, they would pull each other's back, but the situation would be very different if the Three Kingdoms were united."
"Your Majesty is wise and has far-sighted thinking. Zhou admires it!" Zhou Shuguang bowed in conscience towards Yuejing City. "Zhou will definitely do his best to continue the chaos in Qi for a longer period of time."
Tian Kang smiled and said, "Your Majesty also said that Cao Tiancheng is a powerful character. It is enough for you to only be able to support Bozhou for five years. Of course, in this process, once things cannot be done, you must evacuate immediately without making unnecessary sacrifices. These are just some casual layouts. Your Majesty said that he does not want to lose a general because of these layouts."
"Your Majesty, I remember it." Zhou Shuguang nodded repeatedly.
"The two countries will fight each other, and the ultimate struggle will be the general trend or the open and upright power. In the end, we are just accumulating a little bit of strength for the general trend. If we succeed, it is the best. Even if we don't meet the highest requirements in the end, there is no regret." Tian Kang smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, we will go our separate ways tomorrow. You go to Bozhou to prepare for the major events, and I will also go to Yongdu City. The last battle between our Ming Dynasty and Qin is about to begin."
