Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 222
"Mr. Zhe Zilang kept it from me so hard! I still remember that last time I met, I also shared the matter of Yin Jue as a private affair with Wei Zhou. It turned out that this matter was conspired by Wei Zhou and Mr. Yu! I don’t know, It has become a real family of laughing and generous!"

Seeing Shen Zhezi, Xu Mao pointed at him and pretended to be angry.

Hearing Xu Mao's words, Shen Zhezi laughed, and hurriedly saluted and apologized: "Mr. Yu was responsible for this matter earlier, and I just had a little work as a counselor. If you force the upper body, you will inevitably claim credit and boast, so you dare not confess it. Please don't blame Minggong."

This was not a big deal, and Xu Mao didn't mind it.Earlier he learned that Shen Zhezi and Yu Tiao had conspired in the matter of Yinjue, and he was even pleasantly surprised.In the past two years, he and the Shen family have gotten closer and closer, and the Yu family has also risen in the court. With this relationship, he has gradually stood out among the refugees on the front line of Jingkou.

Welcoming Shen Zhezi into his home, and after sitting down with each other, Xu Mao couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Brother Shiju sent a letter earlier, asking me to seek good things early. It was because of this advice that I abandoned Jingkou and turned to Dantu. Quanling Although it is a pity that he was not able to go to condolences in person, it is also a blessing to avoid the chaos on the Huai River and avoid unnecessary disputes and attacks."

Earlier, Xu Mao left his post without authorization and went to Jiaxing to join forces with Shen Chong to destroy the Yan family. Although he was rewarded by the court afterwards, it was an indisputable fact that he left his post privately, so he was even more excluded by Liu Xia's tribe, and even the post of supervisor along the river was rejected. lifted.

But at this time, the benefits of relying on Shen's family were also revealed. Not long after he was out of work, Xu Mao was transferred to Dantu prefect, and successfully became a member of the two thousand stones, and he was not a false title like Jiangbei Qiaozhi county.

At present, Dantu strangles the estuary of the Yangtze River in the east, connects Jinling and even Dantu in the west, and next to it is Wu County. Although it is a little embarrassing because of the existence of Jingkou and Jinling, it is definitely a rare and important task.To win this position for Xu Mao, the Shen family also used a lot of connections.

Although the refugee commanders have soldiers and are powerful, they suffer from the lack of direct access to the upper floors, so most of them can only be trapped in one place, and it is rare to be serious.Like Su Jun, who is now in the prime of his life, if it wasn't for the opportunity of Wang Dun's Rebellion, and happened to be recommended by Xi Jian as a guarantor, he would probably only be able to stay in Huaibei at this time, and it would be rare to cross the river.

After exchanging pleasantries with each other, it is natural to talk about the current major events in Jingkou.Now that Jingkou has been blocked by Xi Jian, the internal and external information is not well separated, Shen Zhezi wants to know more about Jingkou, so he can only come to Xu Mao to ask.

Talking about the newly appointed chief officer, Xu Mao also expressed emotion: "Xi Gong should have great ambitions to expand when he comes to Jingkou this time, but the festivals are different at the same time, and things are different. The old genus felt quite at a loss. I only met Xi Gong once at the banquet, and I haven't been summoned yet."

From these words, Shen Zhezi felt the difficult situation Xi Jian was facing at the moment. Dantu was an extremely important part of Xuzhou, serving as the prime minister of Jingkou.According to Xi Jian's perspective, it is impossible to ignore Xu Mao just because he is Liu Xia's former subordinate.The reason why he hasn't had an interview with Xu Mao so far is probably because he hasn't clarified the relationship between his own camp, so naturally he has no time to look around.

As for what could make Xi Jian so troubled, apart from Yinjue, Shen Zhezi couldn't think of a second reason.

"Xi Gong seems to be quite disapproving of Yin Jue. I wonder if his attitude has caused troubles for many of his friends here?"

Hearing Shen Zhezi's question, Xu Mao's expression was even more emotional: "Mr. Xi is a benevolent elder. If he can come to Jingkou to sit in town, I will welcome him. However, after he took office, what he did was very disappointing. It makes people feel miserable. I met with friends in the army earlier to discuss this matter, and most of them felt this. It has been a custom for a long time to enjoy the benefits of seclusion. If Xi Gong is really strong and wants to change his ways, It's really not a blessing, people look to the north!"

When Shen Zhezi heard this, he couldn't help but feel even more embarrassed. Compared with these lawless refugees, his family can really be called a kind family.People look to the north, and the implication is that if Xi Jian really wants to eradicate their way of making money, then the situation in Huaibei may not be played out in Jingkou today!

The exile commanders are connected in such a way in private, which also shows how unruly they are.Whoever dares to take advantage of their mouths, regardless of whether you are a domestic celebrity or an important minister of Taiwan Province, you can do it!What's more, the refugees Xi Jian can influence are only a part of the Qingyan nationality, and they cannot occupy an absolute advantage in Jingkou.

For a while, Shen Zhezi couldn't help admiring Xi Jian even more. In the original history, it was precisely because of his long-term management of Jingkou that these refugees had a sense of identity with the imperial court. On this basis, the Beifu Qiang was formed. military.

But now, the unruliness of the vagrant commanders has instead become Shen Zhezi's strength to resist Xi Jian's pressure.Thinking about it this way, he felt more and more that he had a bit of a treacherous air, and he was running around for the sake of profit, doing everything he could to prevent the good government of the good ministers who benefited the country and the people.

Although he felt this, Shen Zhezi didn't feel guilty at all. He didn't feel that the current set of control methods in Taicheng could fully display the combat effectiveness and potential of the refugee commander.

Although the refugee marshals have a domineering attitude, Shen Zhezi is more worried about those vacillating overseas Chinese.Those guys had planned to abscond with the money earlier, and now Xi Jian has made it clear that he is targeting the Yinjue system, and this gentleman is very likely to take advantage of the idea of ​​these overseas Chinese to abscond, and direct these disasters to the south.

Now Xu Mao is not an outsider, so Shen Zhezi revealed this hidden worry and told him the idea of ​​the overseas Chinese gentry planning to abscond and move south.

When Xu Mao heard this, he raised his brows immediately: "After enjoying all the benefits, he plans to abandon me and other friends? How can there be such a reason in the world!"

However, although his words were indignant, he also knew in his heart that if the Qiaomen really wanted to move south, they would not have much means to stop it.Unless, like those vagrant commanders in Huaibei, they really launch a mutiny.But this mutiny is only suitable as a threat. Once it is put into practice, it will hurt others and oneself, and the disaster will be great.

Wang Dun rebelled against Xiangnian, with such a big advantage, he was defeated in the end. This matter did bring great shock to the refugee commanders.If they really dared to launch a mutiny, the chances of success were extremely slim. Even if they were lucky enough to survive, they would never stay in Jiangdong again.Thinking of the daily turmoil in Jiangbei in the early years, and the endless battles with Jiehu, Xu Mao, who had just crossed the river for a few years, was full of hesitation, and really didn't want to give up everything he had now.

Shen Zhezi also knew that these handsome refugees were just poor-mouthed, but they didn't dare to treat those high-ranking families.

Even Su Jun, who is as tyrannical and domineering as Su Jun, would not have dared to raise troops to make trouble if he hadn't been forced to the end of the mountain, unable to retreat, and had found such a powerful ally as Zu Yue.Even so, after invading Jiankang, Su Jun rewarded all his ministers at the first time, and only targeted Yu Liang, hoping to win people's hearts and copy Wang Dun's previous chaotic behavior, but in the end he was still mobilized And discuss it.

So Shen Zhezi didn't regard the refugee marshals as a force that he could rely on at all, as long as he ensured that these people were not angry, so that Xi Jian would be afraid and dare not be too presumptuous, it would be the best situation for him.As for the real challenge to Xi Jian's authority, it still depends on those old surnames from overseas Chinese who are not very reliable.

"Even without Xi Gong's targeting, Yin Jue has reached the point of peril and collapse. Each family has already reaped profits, and even if they move south, there will be no loss. As for Ming Gong and his colleagues, they will have to bear a lot of grievances here. "

Shen Zhezi first pointed out to Xu Mao that the situation of the exile commander was different from that of these old surnames of overseas Chinese. Those families could move south without any scruples, but the exile commander was not.Firstly, the imperial court did not allow them to go deep into Wuzhong, and secondly, they themselves were reluctant to have many subordinates under their command. Once they lost their military power, they were no different from humble families, and it was especially difficult to gain a foothold in Jiangdong.

These words hit Xu Mao's heart disease. His family has already settled down in Wukang, but he has been reluctant to give up his current position of power and reunite with his family because he knows that once he loses his power in Jingkou, it will be difficult for him. It is difficult to have any more in-depth cooperation with the Shen family.Even if the other party cares about the old relationship for a while, the old relationship will gradually fade after a long time.

Seeing that Xu Mao's demeanor turned solemn, Shen Zhezi said with a smile again: "I came here this time to respond to Mr. Yu's affection and to relieve the siege of Yin Jue. If it can be done, not only the situation in Jingkou can be restored to the old view, but also the unity of various families will also be restored. It will be tighter and more profitable than ever."

Xu Mao did not doubt Shen Zhezi's words. Recently, a large number of cargo ships from Wuzhong have been flocking to Jingkou, and everyone knows that the Shen family is behind it.And Yu Tiao also publicized that Yin Jue has attracted strong support, and his future is no longer doubtful.It was originally a happy situation, but Xi Jian stepped in, making the situation chaotic again.

"I don't know where Zhe Zilang's plan came from? What do I need to do? In the current situation, we small people in Jingkou no longer dare to hope for a better situation. As long as we can maintain the previous situation, it is worth celebrating."

Xu Mao said earnestly, if Yinjue was hit for profit, and he was not a direct descendant of Xijian, one can imagine the situation in Jingkou in the future.There are not a few people in a similar situation to him here, and these refugees rushed out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood, and they have a particularly strong sense of crisis.

Hearing Xu Mao's statement, Shen Zhezi's mood gradually became lighter.In fact, it is a good thing for Xi Jian to come to Jingkou at this time.The reason why he didn't dare to take any action when he wanted to carry out the reorganization of the Yin Jue system was that he was worried about possible backlash.

Now that Xi Jian is sitting in Jingkou, at least the exile commanders dare not make noise and cause chaos, so if he reforms, the resistance will be much smaller.Thinking about it this way, Xi Jian can be regarded as a good helper who can't even be hired.

"Now Xigong sits in Jingkou, and he seems to have a lot of resentment towards my family. It's not good for me to go to Jingkou in person at this time. I can only have Lao Minggong, who will gather many friends in Dantu. At that time, regarding Yinjue, Yu Jun and I will have many good ideas. Changes should be discussed with fellow investors."

Xi Jian deducted the goods from the Shangmeng, and it is impossible to stop this matter.Shen Zhezi never stood in danger, so naturally he couldn't ask for it in person. He was also worried that he, like Yu Hanglin's family, would also be detained here by Xi Jian, and that would really be retribution.There are many friends here, so you can encourage this group of people to help you get the goods back.
