Chapter 2339 The slogan of loyalty is always loud
After dressing up in disguise, Li Miao left Chengdu City, and when he arrived at Lifang in Jinguan City outside the city, it was almost dusk.
『Reporting to my lord, the two guests are already waiting in the courtyard...』
Li Miao nodded slightly, and then said, "Is there any idler spying here?" 』
The guard who has been on duty in the courtyard said: "No one has been found to be spying. 』
『Good. 』Li Miao nodded, also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then took two steps in, stopped again, and ordered the personal guards to check the boats in the ditch outside the side door, to ensure that the arranged escape route was ready at any time. After it can be activated, continue walking to the inner courtyard.
When the two people in the inner courtyard heard Li Miao''s footsteps, they stood up vigilantly and looked over.
When Li Miao came in, he had a calm smile on his face, as if he had a plan in mind.
The two people in the courtyard saw Li Miao''s smile, and then glanced at each other, seeming to relax a bit.
Li Miao took the performance of the two into his eyes, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter, "At this time and place, it is rare to be calm, and gossip is polite, so there is no need to say more. After meeting the two, a certain will go back to the city and arrange it carefully... Today''s adventure When we get together, please share your thoughts and be honest with each other...』
Hearing what Li Miao said, the two looked at each other, and hesitated to speak.
Li Miao glanced left and right, his smile unchanged. He didn''t mind the suspicion between the two of them. If he saw these two people getting together and chatting happily as soon as he came in, he had to think carefully about whether there would be any problems.
At least at the moment, it seems that these two people are just like what Li Miao knew before, and they still have some grievances with each other.
That''s fine.
Li Miao didn''t care whether they could get along, but only cared whether these two people were willing to follow his plan, so when these two people arrived here, they were willing to sit together and wait for him to come, which already explained something.
"This time, the military affairs, the attack on the government office, is relying on General Lei, and the righteous statement, the transmission of the call, the knowledge of Sichuan and Shu, or Qin''s excellent writing..." Seeing that neither of them opened their mouths to speak, Li Miao spoke first, briefly explaining the reason why they got together here.
After hearing this, Qin Mi bowed his hands to Lei Tong, and Lei Tong also slightly nodded to Qin Mi.
"The previous incident was a matter of necessity, so let''s not mention it...Since the hussars entered Sichuan, our livelihood has become more and more difficult, the atmosphere of demons in the country has become more intense, and everything has gone wrong, so I want to restore the righteous way and sweep away the evil atmosphere , it still takes the two of you to work hard and work together! Here, little brother, I would like to thank both of you for your sincerity. When things are done, there will be a lot of rewards! 』
Li Miao cupped his hands in salute, and bowed to Lei Tong and Qin Mi again.
Lei Tong grinned, and didn''t say anything more, just took out a blueprint from his arms, spread it out, and put it on the table, which was the defense map of the entire Chengdu.
This is not a serious defense map that Lei Tong stole or copied, but it was drawn by Lei Tong privately from his memory after wandering around the city for the past two days, although Lei Tong is not as good as Qin Mi in terms of scriptures , Li Miao and others, but they are from the army after all, the general schematic diagram can still be drawn, and it also indicates the position and direction of the patrolling duty...
Especially some places that Li Miao and Qin Mi failed to notice, or the weak points of patrolling, Lei Tong marked them on the drawings. For example, between the north gate of Chengdu and the government office in the middle of the city, there is a long and narrow alleyway where two people can pass side by side, but there are no patrols passing by here. If you rush along this passageway, you can avoid most of the patrols on duty .
With such a blueprint as a basis, the three of them basically worked out several plans. The deployment of manpower and some details still need to be more detailed, but the general framework has already come out, and some estimates can even be made. The follow-up finishing measures almost enriched most of the entire mutiny plan.
After all, it is easier to break through the fortress from the inside. It would be better if Leitong could have some soldiers and powers in Chengdu. It is a pity that Xu Shu seems to be vaguely defensive, so Leitong has always been idle.
Of course, this is also the fundamental reason why Thunder Copper is finally willing to cooperate with Li Miao. Just like Qin Mi, I feel that I am marginalized, and I may even be thrown out at any time to take the blame. Naturally, no one wants to live more like this...
When the specific idea of ??mutiny has been sorted out, the next step is to display their respective strengths, or in other words, their connections.
Li Miao saw that the two were hesitant, as if they were unwilling to speak directly, so he simply suggested that each of them write down all the power they could call on paper, and then demonstrate and coordinate together.
The two agreed.
The power that Li Miao can mobilize on his own side is nothing more than some private soldiers in the city and Guanghan, especially the industry and food and grass savings in Guanghan. There is no need to cover up and conceal these too much, so he almost wrote it. come out.
It''s just that when Li Miao finished writing, he looked up at Qin Mi and Lei Tong again, or frowned and meditated, or stayed at his desk for a long time, and didn''t put down the pen in his hand for a long time. In a blink of an eye, he picked up the pen again, pondered and added the two storage places in Jinguan City.
After another incense stick, Lei Tong stopped writing, and after a while, Qin Mi also put down his pen, and the three of them looked at each other, and put the list together.
The list under Lei Tong is less, of course, this is also reasonable, after all, Lei Tong is on the military route, and is from a foreign background, so generally speaking, most of the contacts are with similar identities , are basically soldiers or generals in the middle and lower ranks of the military.
As for Qin Mi, because Qin Mi is a son of a noble family who is familiar with scriptures, most of the people on the list are some unsatisfactory sons of a noble family in Sichuan and Shu, especially in Chengdu. For this reason, the sons of the gentry and the big squires, who were not conferred with the position, even shared the same language and indignation with Qin Mi.
The three of Li Miao all handed over some lists, and the next step is to choose. Only those approved by all three can be introduced for the next round of planning.
After a lot of discussion and selection, there are six people who are finally determined, which happens to be two people on one side.
Among these six people, some belong to the city defense series, some are in the square in the city, and some can provide traffic shelter outside the city. This mutiny can be said to be related to the changes in the entire Sichuan and Sichuan, so the selection of candidates is also very important. Basically, they all have at least some marriage relationship with the local gentry in Sichuan and Shu, or they have received their kindness before, and they must repay the debt of favor now, and some of them are simply pinned down...
After confirming the candidates for the follow-up communication, Li Miao once again proposed that this mutiny was to use Liu Zhang''s name. After all, the current cross-level, multi-party cooperation action needs a more or less core figure as support. Of course, the higher the power, the better, and the more prestige the better.
But it''s a pity that Li Miao and others don''t have it, and Liu Zhang is not a man of great reputation, it''s just because the dwarfs are the tallest among the dwarfs. A generation of old masters of Sichuan and Shu is barely qualified.
On the one hand, Liu Zhang has a cowardly personality. If he is elected as the head, the actual authority is not distributed privately by everyone? It can be regarded as a little advantage.
And from another perspective, if things fail, you can also put all the blame on Liu Zhang. Although Huqi may not believe it, at least he is a good candidate for the thunder, and he can share some of it...
Under such a tacit understanding, the three dispersed one after another.
Li Miao was the last to leave. When he sat on the boat, he suddenly smiled and shook his head.
During the short meeting of the three people, although some specific matters were finalized, there was a very interesting thing, that is, none of the three people mentioned the benefits or status they wanted to obtain after this mutiny.
As far as Li Miao himself is concerned, of course he hopes that he can reach his stomach in one step, er, in place, absorb the highest administrative and military power in Sichuan and Sichuan, and use this period of Sichuan-Shu alternating vacuum period to strengthen himself and his family''s status, so that Forming a situation of being too big but not falling, even if Huqi settles accounts after autumn, he can step down safely and still have the name of a rich man in Sichuan and Sichuan.
As for Lei Tong and Qin Mi, it is obvious that what these two want and what Li Miao needs must overlap, so neither Lei Tong nor Qin Mi mentioned it...
Because at the moment Li Miao, Lei Tong Qin Mi and others are all people who have been pushed to the edge by the hussars, so their natural interests are relatively consistent. But after they really stood on the high position of authority, the previous alliance might collapse immediately, and the boat of friendship would capsize at any time.
It''s just that these issues can be put aside for the time being. After all, only after success will there be benefits. Now, it is obviously not good for anyone to tear up blood for benefits that have not yet been obtained. Therefore, Lei Tong and Qin Mi So they all refrained from talking, presumably they all had the same idea.
Before, Li Miao still wanted to fight alone, but now with Xu Shu and others leaving, Chengdu''s military strength is empty, and the spring in the hearts of these suppressed people can''t help but bounce back...
After all, not everyone in this world can see the future clearly, otherwise there would not be so many young and energetic people who say that they can’t pass the university entrance examination. It was only then that I vaguely felt that the beauty in school had gone away, leaving only the cruelty of life and endless labor.
Of course going to university may not be the best, but at least it will give you more choices...
The morals of the world will not revolve around a few people. If the things planned by Li Miao and others are successful, then of course they can influence the political situation between Sichuan and Sichuan, and may even trigger subsequent changes.
Everything is based on success. If it succeeds, no matter how big the risk is, some people will praise it. If it fails, no matter how much preparation is made, people will laugh at it.
The time of the mutiny was chosen after Xu Shu left Guanghan and went to Jiange.
Because of Li''s eyeliner in Guanghan, he can know exactly when Xu Shu left Guanghan, and after Xu Shu''s soldiers enter the Golden Bull Road, it will be the opportunity for Li Miao and others.
In the city of Chengdu, for ordinary people, they didn’t notice much turmoil at the upper level, just like when the qualifying competition entered the preparation stage, most ordinary people still considered that today’s tomato rose to 9.9 yuan...
Although in the ancient times when the material conditions were not sufficient, entertainment was only a part of the spiritual entertainment that could be enjoyed, but it can generally reflect some spirits of the times.
The entire Han Dynasty is in the midst of turbulence and change, and the Qinglong Temple of General Hussars is at the forefront of all thoughts. Those remarks in Chang''an spread to Sichuan and Sichuan like huge waves, and triggered Students in the academy in Chengdu debated and discussed with each other.
Some people think that this is the promotion and development of the spirit of the Han Dynasty, while some people think that it violates the tradition since the Qin and Han Dynasties. This kind of debate is actually quite normal. After all, in the three or four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, some things have become solidified. It is not so easy to think about the concept at one time.
It''s like Tian Zheng of the Hussar General.
The gentry in Sichuan and Shu felt that Xin Tianzheng was too outrageous.
What can destroy a person''s will is not only the huge and cruel pressure of life, but also a small inadvertent incident. What can also destroy the will of the Sichuan and Shu gentry is not only the Tianzheng of the hussars, but also the loss of the goal. …
The trend of the times is rolling by. Just because someone has put in a lot of hard work, they will not stay for a while for this person. Some people stand on the upper wind, and naturally some people stand on the lower wind.
Li Miao held up a glass of wine, pondered for a long time, then raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.
How can this kind of thing be without risk?
It just depends on the final winner and loser.
Unknowingly, the street drums sounded. It was already early winter, and the days were short. When the street drums sounded, it was already nightfall and the lights were on.
Near the Chengdu Wharf, with the sound of street drums, instead of calming down, it became even more noisy. Although it is said that Handu has cut off the traffic, because Chengdu is an important consumer and distribution center for goods, and because of the stimulation of the war, the price has risen suddenly, and the stimulation to merchants is greater than usual.
Especially the big tycoons, as if they contracted some fixed loading and unloading positions at the wharf, they purchase and ship goods day and night, dispatch materials, and seek huge profits.
Of course, if you want to stay here at the pier, especially if you can delay closing the gate of the pier an hour after the sound of street drums, you must pay a lot of money. After all, the system is one aspect, and the implementation Getting up is another matter. With money, sometimes it is true that some boundaries can be ignored.
Then, as the red line jumps horizontally again and again, some people will feel that the red line is in the way, so they want to move the red line away, or simply cut it off...
Three cargo ships, with a deep draft, swayed into the waterway of the pier.
『Yoha...have you loaded a lot...』
The soldiers in charge of releasing the gates saw the draft of the cargo ship, and they winked at each other, knowing that they had encountered a fat sheep again.
The more goods you have, the more you can receive.
Of course, the handover is based on the number of ships, and you can even report less...
This method sometimes causes backlash, but even if it is dealt with, it is nothing more than dismissing a few tax collectors who collected money. After a period of time, after the limelight passes, the provoking firm will inevitably attract more dissatisfaction , the next step is naturally to increase the exploitation of this product number. If you want to pass it, you have to pay several times more than other product numbers.
Several tax guards are veterans. Seeing the depth of the draft, they knew that they must be transporting heavy cargo, so someone shouted: "Draw the boat over, we have to board the boat for inspection!" 』
A few hooks were thrown onto the boat, hooked to the side of the boat and pulled towards the embankment. With a few muffled sounds, the hull of the boat hit the stone embankment. A tax guard yelled: "Are you blind? If you hit the embankment , I can''t afford to tear you apart! 』
While yelling and cursing, three or four tax guards jumped onto the boat and began to lift the straw mat to check the goods.
"Wow! 』
The Golden Legend…
Er, wrong, it’s Spice Legend…
When the grass mat was lifted and the earthen pot was opened, the smell of spices permeated the air, which immediately made several tax collectors laugh so hard that their teeth could not see their eyes. This thing is very valuable! The goods are valuable, and there are so many quantities, this time I will make a fortune!
The tax peddler coughed twice, suppressing his excitement, "Is there any clearance clause? Where is this product from? Come on, a few more people, check it out! 』
The rest of the tax guards also realized that they had encountered a big fish, so they all agreed, and then almost all the people on the shore got off the boat, and while checking, they took the opportunity to put some spice bags into their arms...
The tax guard''s eyes were fixed on the spices, and he swallowed his saliva and shouted, "Add more money!" This ship has this cargo, we need to add…”
In the middle of speaking, I suddenly saw a cold light flashing aside, and my throat hurt, and I couldn''t say the remaining word money, but just clutched the blood gushing out of the wound, and then fell crookedly.
『Do it! 』
The thick straw mats in the ship were lifted one after another, and what spices and goods were hidden underneath were clearly strong men with knives and guns!
These men raised their knives and cut down the tax soldiers on the pier, then rushed into the tax customs, opened the sluice, and rushed straight into the city while shouting various slogans!
『Quickly capture the government office! 』
『Xu Yuanzhi rebelled against General Hussars! Today, we will attack them on behalf of hussars! Get away! 』
『Xu Yuanzhi rebelled! 』
『The loyal people please come with me! 』
『Corrupt foreign officials, you can slaughter them! 』
『Pingchuanshu! Put an end to war! 』
『…』
