Chapter 489 Give it a try, in case it succeeds!(1/2)
"Brother Zhuo Wu, let's put aside all of these first. The situation is clear now. After Yang Feng resolved the north, he would inevitably launch a purge of the Confucian scholars in the south."
Huang Zunsu said.
Zhang Kongjiao smiled indifferently.
He already understood Huang Zunsu's purpose.
But……
What does that have to do with them? They are now being cleaned.
It’s great if the Confucian scholars in the south are being cleaned up. Everyone is finished together, no one can escape. It’s better to be a companion on the road to the underworld.
"If you really don't want to sit still and wait for death with the genius of Jiangnan, you can take the opportunity to start a crime.
Yang Feng is still busy dealing with the Senate in the north. Most of the Red Turban Army in Jiangnan have gone north, and the rest are all in Huguang and Jiangxi. Zhejiang and Nanzhili are empty in defense. If the Jiangnan wise men raise their arms and shout, all the loyal and righteous bees will rise up and respond to the world. At that time, there is no need to worry about anything.
But what is the use of telling Zhang that this is the fateful way?
Zhang was alone, now he didn't even have a musket on his body. He was helpless if he wanted to kill the thief!"
He continued.
Of course, that tone was obvious mockery.
If the gentry in Jiangnan really had this courage, they would not have surrendered back then.
Still raising your arms?
When Suzhou gentry raised his arms and called on the people to follow them to resist Zhu Yuanzhang, they turned around and were arrested by the people and sent to the office.
Now the result of Jiangnan gentry raising their arms will not be better than this.
These guys are just playing tricks on others into being cannon fodder. Everyone understands this, but the problem is that now, the gentry of Shandong has no ability to be cannon fodder, and it is meaningless to fool them no matter how hard they are. They just act for blind people to see, and the gentry of Shandong is no longer in the condition to be deceived. When Zhang Kongjiao and others went south, the escape of Shandong gentry had already begun. Wang Zhiyuan was more like running away than going south to ask for help. The Wang clan had also fled to Shanxi.
Wang Xiangqian is still in Shanxi.
However, some of the Wang family did not leave because their family was prepared for a long time. After all, Wang Xiangkun still retained his loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor.
At this time, he was still in Xuzhou, with Xing Jie, Shen Li and other old ministers loyal to Wanli.
Smart people.
It’s a big family!
No matter when you are, you must make two or even multiple preparations.
However, according to time, the Red Turban Army and the Dengzhou Army should have indeed entered Jinan by this time.
"Brother Zhuowu, we actually have a way out."
Huang Zunsu said earnestly.
It is impossible to cause trouble, and it will never be possible in this life.
In fact, they didn’t even dare to say this in Zhejiang, which is only now in Guangzhou. If they dare to say this in Zhejiang, they would not be allowed to report any servants and maids at home.
Even those who listen to this may report it.
Since the militia was completed, Yang Feng's eyes and ears were everywhere in Jiangnan. It can be said that he could be reported to me in a sleep at night saying anything he shouldn't say. After all, it is difficult for those maids who have become hired to be loyal. The rewards they receive after rumours are much more than the wages they give.
But you can’t do without a maid!
As for the uprising...
What to raise?
Maybe they will be taken down by the militia as soon as they leave the gate.
Zhang Kongjiao looked at him with a scrupulous look, and he also wanted to see what Huang Zunsu wanted to play.
"Can we borrow soldiers?"
Huang Zunsu said.
"Where are you borrowing?"
“Japan.”
"Japan?"
“Yes, Japan.”
"The Japanese were defeated in North Korea before, and they could hardly even return home. How could they have the courage to fight again? What's more, the civil war before, and now there are only two years of stability left. How can they send troops? Besides, what can they do if they send troops? With the ability of the Japanese army, the Red Turban Army will be enough to deal with it."
Zhang Kongjiao said in surprise.
"That depends on Brother Zhuo Wu's three-inch tongue.
The Japanese army was indeed scared, but there was also a slight dizziness. Mitsu-Chun Ishida was almost insane. If he didn't make any money to appease the arrogant soldiers and generals under his command, these people could eat him."
Huang Zunsu said with a deep smile.
Zhang Kongjiao immediately understood.
It doesn't matter whether the Japanese can fight the Red Turban Army. What's important is to fool them into sending troops and create a threat to Yang Feng on the flank...
It's a big threat!
The Japanese cannot even leave the sea.
The Red Turban Army's navy did not dare to say that it was a sure victory in fighting the Imperial Camp Navy. After all, the four iron-wood sea ships can really run around the sea. Although the Red Turban Army Navy and the Republic Navy also have Henghai ships, they are camphor trees. If you really fight, you will definitely not be able to defeat the Imperial Camp Navy. But the problem is that even if you can't defeat the Imperial Camp Navy, it is the second strong army on the sea. It's just like playing with the Japanese navy.
He continued to look at Huang Zunsu.
"It's not just the Japanese, but also Li Chengliang.
If Yang Feng unified the north, he would inevitably take back Liaodong. The Li family's life as the king of Liaodong may not last for a few days. Li Chengliang is also a veteran of playing pirates. If the Japanese landed in North Korea again, Li Chengliang happened to continue playing pirates and even instigated the Japanese to attack Tianjin. Although the Japanese navy was weak, we can help them find a strong one. The Spanish in Luzon had a lot of relationships with them. The Japanese navy could not beat Yang Feng, but the Spanish navy was different.
As long as Liaodong and North Korea are in chaos again, Yang Feng's navy will inevitably participate in the war. As long as the Spaniards can defeat the Red Turban Navy at sea, the Japanese can harass the coast again.
Even landed in Shandong.
At that time, Brother Zhuo Wu could also return to his hometown and make those unruly people pay the price."
Huang Zunsu said with a face of wisdom beads holding it.
The Spaniards are indeed close to Mitsunari Ishida at present.
The monkey was indeed very alert to the Spanish, but Mitsunari Ishida welcomed the Spanish because of the Catholics of Governor Konishi and the battle of North Korea.
The number of Catholics in Japan has increased dramatically.
After the defeat in the last Battle of Manila, the Spaniards lost the right to directly participate in the trade of the Ming Dynasty and could only buy it from Nanyang companies and Jiangsu and Zhejiang maritime merchants. They were exploited by these guys and were indeed urgently needed to regain the trade rights. In addition, the Portuguese in Macau were brutally purged, and the Portuguese who came from Goa now turned to Luzon and went north from Luzon to Japan.
In fact, for these European colonists, they really had no choice but to fight.
After all, they worked hard in the East for more than half a century, and now everything they have gained is being lost. Manila already has the fortress of the Ming Emperor, and Macau has been taken back by the Ming Emperor. Now the Portuguese there are still detained for rebellion waiting for Goa to send silver to redeem. Even their trade with Japan has to be secretly stumbled, especially if they dare not be encountered by the Nanyang Company, which really attacks their merchant ships.
But they can't beat Nanyang Company.
Or the Imperial Camp Navy.
The four iron-wood sea ships suppressed all maritime forces in the East unless they built battleships of the same level.
but……
That's the arms race.
They are nothing more than a group of colonists who come to the East to make a living. How could they hold up the arms race with an empire?
In this case, it would be nice if you can open a gap in the north.
As for Li Chengliang...
It is inevitable that his family has been comfortable in Liaodong for many years, but Yang Feng has no time to control it, but Yang Feng will not be able to continue to allow them to seize Liaodong after Yang Feng takes over the north. Li Chengliang is also aware of this. Yang Feng cannot not know what he had to pay tribute to before. If Japan returns to North Korea, then Li Chengliang will definitely play bandits, at least he must save his strength and wait and see, and then the rest will be naval battles. As long as the Spanish navy can really defeat the Red Turban Navy, the northern chess will be alive.
The Japanese could continue to attack the northern coast like the Japanese pirates in the past, and then Yang Feng had to run around to deal with it.
At that time, he really didn't care about anything else.
The Japanese are different from the new troops in various places. The new troops can surrender in front of Yang Feng, but the Japanese must fight.
And the Spaniards must also rob.
If the north falls into this situation, His Majesty the Emperor's Imperial Camp Navy will definitely be watching. After all, Yang Feng is exhausted in the north, which is also a good thing for His Majesty the Emperor.
Moreover, there are also Senate and Datong Kingdom in the west, and those vassal states in the north will probably also wait and see.
This chess is really alive.
As for the Spanish Navy who could not defeat the Red Turban Navy, it was their own fault and had nothing to do with others.
"You want me to go to Japan to ask for help from the Japanese?"
Zhang Kongjiao said.
"Brother Zhuo Wu, the survival of my Confucian Taoist tradition depends on Brother Zhuo Wu."
Huang Zunsu bowed with a solemn face.
"I'm not afraid of the danger of waves, but it's this ship..."
Zhang Kongjiao said.
