Chapter 0528 Chaos Initial(1/2)
May of the fourth year of Jianxing was destined to be a restless month.
Before the troops sent by Feng Yong to Dinglu came back, he received news of a rebellion in Guanghan County.
"The limitations of the feudal landlord class..."
After reading the causes and consequences of the rebellion, Feng Yong muttered, "No matter how prosperous aristocratic families are for hundreds of years, they are still considered to be the landlord class and cannot escape its limitations..."
No one heard clearly what Feng Yong was mumbling, and even if they did, they couldn't understand what he was saying.
Population and land are the economic foundation passed down to the world by aristocratic families.
Knowledge monopoly is the basis for aristocratic families to suppress the spirit of Guizhou leaders.
By mastering these two things, they can naturally control the superstructure.
As a former successor of a high-level society, Feng Yong had long understood the urinary nature of the feudal landlord class.
Although Old Demon Zhuge is also maintaining the rule of the feudal landlord class, it is obvious that this kind of rule is not what the aristocratic families want, at least not what the aristocratic families in Shu want.
Nowadays, the two major foundations for their survival are being constantly poached by the old demon Zhuge, and during this period, some unknown bumpkin is handing him a hoe.
Unexpectedly, they had been aggrieved for so long, and their final response was just to bring out some refugees in protest?
Weak chicken!
What a weakling!
Feng Yong threw the official document on the table very boringly.
After a few days, an old friend suddenly came to visit me on a starry night.
At that time, Feng Yong was sleeping soundly and was woken up by Guan Ji: "Alang, someone wants to see you."
Feng Yong has been walking in the fields these days, exposed to the wind and sun. Although he does not have to go to the fields personally, he is still tired. Now he was woken up by Guan Ji, and he was dazed and unwilling to get up. He said angrily, "Who is it? Can't we see you tomorrow?"
"
"Alang, the person here is Xu Xun. He said it is extremely urgent."
Guan Ji said softly, "I heard that he came all night, so I'd better get up and see him."
"Xu Xun?"
Feng Yong, who was still awake, refused to open his eyes. His mind was a little blurry. After thinking for a while, he finally remembered that this was the husband of Xu Ci's family. "Isn't he in Zoke County? Why are you here..."
Thinking of this, I suddenly thought, "Is there something wrong with Zoke County?"
Then he shook his head vigorously and closed his eyes again, "Impossible. There is a Ma Taishou in Zoke County, what can be the problem?"
Guan Ji helped Feng Yong up, who still had his eyes closed, and while putting on his clothes, she said, "No matter where the problem is, since it is said to be extremely urgent, it must not be a trivial matter. Alang should go out and see him quickly."
.”
"The great man has the Prime Minister here, what can go wrong?"
Feng Yong muttered.
"Here, stretch your arms."
Guan Ji ignored Feng Yong, who was angry at getting out of bed, and helped him straighten his sleeves, tie his belt, and finally squatted down to help him put on his shoes.
"You don't need shoes, right? Just wear clogs."
"It's very cold at night. I don't know how long Xu Xun will talk to Ah Lang. Please put on some clothes to prevent your feet from getting cold. Ah Lang needs to wash his face so that he can wake up."
Seeing Feng Yong's weak appearance, Guan Ji knew that he was tired these days, so she asked with concern.
Feng Yong then rubbed his face vigorously, trying to wake himself up, "No need. Where are the others?"
"Just in the living room."
He was woken up in the middle of his sleep and felt uncomfortable all over. Feng Yong walked to the living room and saw Xu Xun walking around there with an anxious look on his face.
As soon as he saw Feng Yong coming in, Xu Xun hurriedly greeted him, "Let's bow down."
"Sit down."
Feng Yong motioned for him to sit down, "What happened?"
Maybe it was Feng Yong's calm demeanor that infected Xu Xun. After Xu Xun sat down, he sorted out his thoughts for a while and then said, "Head of the meeting, something happened in Jiaozhou."
"Jiaozhou?"
When Feng Yong heard this, he immediately woke up. Jiaozhou was not only a supplier of coarse sugar, but also a supplier of Nanzhong sugarcane seeds this year.
If something goes wrong, it's okay to lose the source of jaggery, but if there is no source of sugarcane seeds this year, the pace of sugarcane planting in Nanzhong will be greatly delayed.
If something goes wrong with the Nanzhong sugarcane planting plan, that's all within the Xinghan Society, but what about the wealthy families in Shuzhong?
But this is the best opportunity to tie the wealthy families in central Shu to the Han chariot, because in at most a year and a half, Old Demon Zhuge will embark on the Northern Expedition.
Time is running out. If we miss this time, how can King Feng Gui have time to lock the chariot door or weld the window?
"What happened?"
Thinking of this, Feng Yong immediately asked anxiously.
"Shixie of Jiaozhou died of serious illness. His son Shihui was appointed by Sun Quan as the governor of Jiuzhen. He was dissatisfied that he could not inherit the position of governor of Jiaozhou, so he called himself the governor of Jiaozhou, rebelled against Sun Wu, and prevented the people sent to Jiaozhou from Soochow from taking office.
.”
When Feng Yong heard this, he frowned. Jiaozhi is the county seat of Jiaozhou, and the prefect of Jiaozhou is often also the governor of Jiaozhou. Now that Shi Hui has appointed himself the prefect of Jiaozhou, it is obvious that he wants Sun Quan to recognize his position as the governor of Jiaozhou.
"Na Shihui also secretly sent someone to deliver a letter to his younger brother, hoping to use his younger brother as a middleman to ask for the help of the big man. Oh, by the way, the Zhang family also sent a letter, saying that he wanted the younger brother to deliver it to his elder brother in person."
Xu Xun said, took out a letter from his pocket and handed it over.
Because Xu Ci had a friendship with Shi Xie and had a reputation for scholarship, after Xu Xun personally went to Nanzhong to bow his head to Feng Yong to admit his mistake, Feng Yong planned to take advantage of the Xu family's influence and let Xu Xun join the Xinghan Society.
.
At the same time, he was allowed to serve as the contact person between the Xinghan Society and Jiaozhou, thus opening up the relationship between Jiaozhou and the Zhang family. Only then could the Zhang family easily enter Jiaozhou and send raw sugar to the Han Dynasty.
Feng Yong took it, opened it on the spot, and read it hastily by lighting the candle.
After a long time, he finally slapped the case and cursed angrily, "Shi Xie is a hero after all, why did he give birth to a trash!"
Shijia has governed Jiaozhou for nearly forty years. He is a veritable local emperor, and his prestige in Jiaozhou is noble and supreme.
When Shi Xie and his brothers came in and out, they rang bells and chimes, were equipped with majestic manners, played pipes and flutes, and filled the road with chariots and horses. There were often dozens of monks burning incense among the chariots and horses. Even Yue Tuo, the former king of South Vietnam, did not reach Shi Xie's reputation.
.
Although Shi Xie expressed his surrender to Soochow, Jiaozhou had always been regarded as private territory by the Shi family.
As the son of Shi Xie, Shi Hui felt that it was natural for him to succeed as the governor of Jiaozhou.
In Feng Yong's opinion, even if Sun Quan wanted to take control of Jiaozhou after Shi Xie's death, he should have ostensibly appointed Shi Hui as the governor of Jiaozhou, and then sent one of his own to serve as the prefect of each county, thus taking advantage of Shi Hui.
I didn't expect that Sun Quan's move would be so big. He directly sent Shi Hui to Jiuzhen County. What is the difference between that and sending him to the frontier?
Jiuzhen County is one of the nine counties in Jiaozhou. It is located in the central part of Vietnam in later generations. It is simply more barbaric than Nanzhong!
If Shi Hui can endure a moment of humiliation, use the reputation of the Shi family to win sympathy, and at the same time make secret preparations to rebel again, then he can be regarded as a character.
It is a pity that this man had great ambitions but few talents. He rebelled against Wu in such a hurry. Huan Lin, an official in Jiaozhou, persuaded him, but Shi Hui actually tortured and killed Huan Lin.
The Huan family was also a big family in the local area. In anger, they directly raised their clan troops to attack Shi Hui, and the two sides fought evenly!
What the hell!
You can't even suppress the clan soldiers of a big clan, and you are so rebellious!
More importantly, not only were the local wealthy families dissatisfied with Shi Hui, but even some members of the Shi family did not agree with Shi Hui's actions against Wu.
Feng Yong was really annoyed. He couldn't convince the public internally and could not defend himself against the enemy externally. As long as Soochow sent a general to lead his army, this badge would be separated from the corpse!
The reason why the Shi family was able to control the situation in Jiaozhou for decades was simply because Jiaozhou was located in a remote location, had a harsh environment, and there were ongoing wars in the hinterland of the Han Dynasty, so all forces had no time to conquer it.
Nowadays, the world is divided into three parts. Although it is not completely unified, it is still partially unified. Soochow has been recruiting troops from Shanyue all the year round and recruiting Shanyue barbarians to supplement the population. The environment of Jiaozhou is not enough to be an obstacle.
In addition, Soochow failed to conquer the north and its eastward advance was blocked. The only direction on land was Jiaozhou. Did Shi Hui still think that he could form his own world in Jiaozhou like his father?
"Shi Hui will definitely be defeated if he raises his troops this time!"
Feng Yong tried hard to think back and determined that Jiaozhou was indeed a place under the jurisdiction of Soochow during the Three Kingdoms period, and came to a conclusion.
"Not only can we not agree to his rescue, we can't even let Soochow misunderstand our relationship with him. If you do this, write a letter to Shi Hui, clarify the interests, and persuade him that it is best to surrender to Soochow again."
Speaking of this, Feng Yong looked at Xu Xun with burning eyes, "When there was great chaos in the Central Plains, Jiaozhou was peaceful, and soldiers and people went to Jiaozhou to avoid the chaos."
Xu Xun nodded, his lord also took refuge in Jiaozhou for a period of time, so he knew this clearly.
"Nowadays, Jiaozhou is in chaos. To the south of Jiaozhou, there is a vast ocean. There is no way out. If the people want to avoid the chaos, they can only go north. Jiaozhou is connected to Nanzhong. Although there is no main road, there are countless mountain roads. I think there must be many people going there.
Come here to escape."
"Isn't Nanzhong Manor short of manpower? The people of Jiaozhou have been in Jiaozhou for a long time and are accustomed to the soil and water of the south. It is just right for them to come to Nanzhong Manor to help."
Feng Yong's tone was gentle, as if he was talking about a very common thing.
It is not up to you to decide whether sugarcane planting will be affected, but you must at least stop the loss and make some profit.
Xu Xun took a breath of cold air. When this brother learned about Jiaozhou, the first thing that came to his mind was labor?
