He Yu was keenly aware of the confusion and wavering in the hearts of Niu Zhuang and Hu Sanshun, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes again.
In fact, He Yu's character and style has always been arrogant and domineering, speaking his mind, and never showing weakness to others. Not only was he tough and unyielding when he met with Zhao Junchen, even when he met with Emperor Deqing. , also looks like a strong man in the army who is resolute, smart and capable.
Now, under the pressure of the situation, He Yu had to lower his posture, speak softly, and sigh in front of two ant-like farm men. Naturally, he felt deeply awkward and humiliated.
However, since this method was effective, He Yu secretly gritted his teeth and decided to keep trying.
He Yu sighed again and said: "Alas! Although I am the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, I often feel powerless when faced with human nature and self-interest! To be honest, the imperial court's expenditure on Liao's salary has always been extremely huge. Although once Liao's salary leaves the national treasury, all kinds of things will happen, and the actual amount that ends up in the hands of Liaodong Town is often halved, but it is still a huge amount!
The salary, silver, and rations of the Liaodong military attachés are still quite generous, enough to allow them and their families to live comfortably and comfortably. Sometimes, I really don’t understand why the military attachés below have such generous treatment. Do you still want to desperately go against the grain and exploit the people? So greedy?
This time I took action to rectify military discipline, and I felt particularly sad because many of the scum in the army who were acting rebelliously had a close relationship with me!
For example, Zhang He, a member of Qianhu in Uiju City, once shot an arrow on the battlefield and accidentally injured the general, causing the general to almost die!
Everyone thought that Ben would retaliate against him, but he later made great achievements on the battlefield and recaptured an important military fort. At that time, Ben had promised that anyone in the army who recaptured that military fort would be punished. Can be upgraded to three levels in a row! This general has always been true to his word, so he ignored the past grievances and single-handedly promoted him to the position of Qianhu Official!
After Zhang He was promoted to the rank of 1,000 households in the army, his annual salary, silver, and rations totaled more than 800 yuan, and he still had all kinds of money to make. It stands to reason that he should have been content long ago. Who would have thought that not only did he not cherish his opportunities, but in recent years Instead, he became more and more greedy, repeatedly oppressing the people and plundering people's property... After the evidence was conclusive, the general could only punish him severely. If it weren't for this kidnapping, his title would have been spread all over the country. , as a warning to others! Alas, why bother? "
When making such a statement, He Yu's expression was full of sincerity, as if these words came from the heart, and he had been holding them in his heart for a long time, and finally couldn't help but want to talk about them.
In fact, the reason why He Yu said these words was not only to bring the relationship between the two parties closer and show his caring side for the people, but also to emphasize that he was true to his word, regardless of past suspicions, and that the Qianhu Army among the Liaodong Frontier Army The job pays well.
According to He Yu's plan, he will next promise Niu Zhuang and Hu Sanshun a position with a thousand households in the border army, and induce them to help him escape.
Seeing that Niu Zhuang and Hu Sanshun were increasingly shaken, He Yu changed the subject and said again: "If this general is right, because of his kidnapping, Liaodong Town has a plan to rectify military discipline." In all likelihood, it has been stalled and delayed...
If it is just a stagnation and delay, it can be regarded as a blessing among misfortunes, but I am even more worried now... If it is because of the kidnapping of this general, the Liaodong soldiers lost their minds in anger, and then started to hunt and implicate them everywhere. What should we do with a large number of innocent people? Wouldn't it be completely contrary to the general's original intention of quelling public dissatisfaction and improving military discipline? How will it end then? "
Speaking of this, He Yubiao was full of sorrow and worry, and then he sighed and shook his head.
The total number of sighs He Yu had made in most of his life was probably not as many as this conversation.
But He Yu's hypocritical behavior is indeed very effective.
As mentioned before, the common people always have the absurd idea of "purifying the emperor's side", believing that the emperor is sage and innocent, and that all kinds of bad governance are only caused by the emperor's treacherous ministers, and He Yu himself is the emperor of Liaodong. In the eyes of Niu Zhuang and Hu Sanshun, they are not much different from the real emperor. They are also aloof and out of reach.
Nowadays, while He Yu is deliberately lowering his profile and getting closer to them, he also focuses on showing his determination to redress the grievances of the people and uphold justice. This approach not only makes Niu Zhuang and Hu Sanshun They were flattered and fond of him, and it made them increasingly doubt whether the kidnapping was meaningful.
He Yu's various hints are very clear, even farm men like Niu Zhuang and Hu Sanshun can understand it. That is, whether there is this kidnapping or not, He Yu will severely punish those border military attachés who bully the people, and this kidnapping Not only will it seriously delay He Yu's plan to rectify military discipline, but it will also anger all the Liaodong frontier troops, and may cause more involvement and suffering to the people of Liaodong.
Seeing the changing expressions of Niu Zhuang and Hu Sanshun, He Yu stopped talking and just waited silently for the reactions of Niu Zhuang and Hu Sanshun.
After about a cup of tea, Niu Zhuang couldn't help but ask: "Do you really want to bring justice to the people of Liaodong? Do you want to chop off the heads of the military attachés who have harmed the people?"
He Yu nodded without hesitation: "My reputation, He Yu, is known to everyone in Liaodong. Although the evaluations of various parties are bound to be different, no one has ever said that I do not keep my word! In Before I was kidnapped by you, I was indeed ready to take action to rectify military discipline, and I also really wanted to kill a group of bad guys to quell public anger and serve as a warning to others!"
Niu Zhuang and Hu Sanshun looked at each other, their expressions becoming more hesitant.
In comparison, Hu Sanshun was more honest and responsible, and couldn't help but suggest to Niu Zhuang: "Brother Niu, in this case, did we make a mistake in kidnapping Mr. He this time? Otherwise...let's go to Brother Xu to discuss and release Mr. He?"
However, before Niu Zhuang could answer, He Yu suddenly sneered: "The person in charge here is named Xu? You want to discuss with him to let me go, which is a good intention. I am also willing to accept your love, but I advise you not to Don't do this, otherwise you are asking for death!
I also understand that you two are probably just ordinary local farmers with good manners. Your participation in this kidnapping was caused by others' deception and deception, right? You want to use this kidnapping to bring justice to the villagers and express your grievances, but does Brother Xu have the same idea as you? Furthermore, have you really understood the true origin of Brother Xu? Is he really trying to help you by kidnapping you? Or are they using you for other purposes? "
After shaking the positions of Niu Zhuang and Hu Sanshun, He Yu started his second step plan, which was to "sow discord"!
Hearing He Yu's doubts, Niu Zhuang and Hu Sanshun were stunned again.
While Niu Zhuang and Hu Sanshun were in confusion, He Yu continued his efforts and raised many doubts.
For example, the strong men under Xu Qingyan's command behave more like soldiers, and are definitely not ordinary farmers like Niu Zhuang and Hu Sanshun. Another example is that Xu Qingyan and others actually have powerful weapons such as crossbows and bows. It is obvious that his hands and eyes are very deep, and his background is very deep; for another example, every time Xu Qingyan and others interrogate He Yu, they will deliberately put Niu Zhuang and others away. Obviously, they are not of the same mind as Niu Zhuang and others...
Niu Zhuang and Hu Sanshun were not very knowledgeable or broad-minded, but they were not fools either. They just didn't pay attention to these doubts in the past, but now they are becoming more suspicious after hearing He Yu's constant doubts!
Yes, Xu Qingyan said before that he was an ordinary businessman. He wanted to take revenge on Liaodong Town because his goods were robbed by the Liaodong border army and his family was destroyed. But if he was just a businessman, how could he find any way to do it? To items such as crossbows and armor that are prohibited by the court?
Xu Qingyan also said that the strong men under his command were all farmers from the villages near Hujiazhuang, but Niu Zhuang, Hu Sanshun and others were from farmers. After He Yu reminded them, they immediately realized that the performance of those men in all aspects was not as good as that of ordinary farmers. It looks like it does!
Seeing that his idea of stirring up discord was equally effective, He Yu also took advantage of the victory and immediately started the third step of his plan.
That's "boiling a frog in warm water"!
Taking advantage of Niu Zhuang and Hu Sanshun's vacillation and suspicion, first let them do some seemingly trivial acts of betrayal, such as providing some intelligence information that He Yu didn't know, or letting them secretly spread their secrets to their companions. Various opinions, and then gradually increased their efforts to encourage them to do something more serious in nature, such as gradually relaxing their surveillance, or secretly providing He Yu with a short weapon that can be used for self-defense... …
Niu Zhuang and Hu Sanshun were both honest and honest farmers. For them to directly betray Xu Qingyan and others, they probably lacked the courage and did not dare to make up their minds easily. However, using this method of "boiling the frog in warm water" allowed them to make a decision without any hesitation. Without realizing it, He Yu completely took it for his own use.
After the three-step plan of "shaking the position", "stoking discord", and "boiling the frog in warm water" are all realized, the next step is He Yu's final plan, which is "coercion and inducement"!
When that time comes, He Yu will try his best to make it clear to Niu Zhuang and Hu Sanshun that since you have committed betrayal, Xu Qingyan and others will not let you go no matter what after they know the truth. In this case You might as well give it a try and help me escape. After I successfully escape, all of you will be promoted to become a well-known military attache of thousands of families in Liaodong Town. You will naturally be rich and famous by then!
Once these four-step plan is fully realized, Niu Zhuang, Hu Sanshun and others will inevitably have no choice but to obey and desperately protect He Yu to escape!
If Niu Zhuang, Hu Sanshun and others are smart people with broad knowledge, it may take some time to realize all four steps of the plan. However, Niu Zhuang, Hu Sanshun and others are just ordinary farmers with no knowledge, so why? Yu believes that he can completely conquer them in just one day at most!
In fact, just after this conversation, He Yu has already progressed to the third step of the plan, and it is indeed as smooth as he expected!
It has to be said that although He Yu is a military officer, his methods of deceiving people are definitely not bad. At least he is more than enough to deal with Niu Zhuang, Hu Sanshun and others.
However, although He Yu secretly ridiculed Niu Zhuang, Hu Sanshun and others for their low knowledge and lack of wisdom, his opponent this time was Xu Qingyan. Behind Xu Qingyan stood Zhao Junchen, and Zhao Junchen had the future generations. Hundreds of years of wisdom and many methods are far beyond He Yu's understanding and imagination.
For example, He Yu thought that the conversation he had with Niu Zhuang and Hu Sanshun was very secret. Not only did he lower his voice from beginning to end, but he also always paid attention to the situation outside the wooden house to prevent the content of the conversation from being revealed. Will be noticed by Xu Qingyan and others.
However, He Yu did not know that the wooden house he was trapped in seemed to be simple and dilapidated, and there did not seem to be a particularly strict defense force near the wooden house. However, Zhao Junchen had sent people to secretly renovate it in advance and secretly arranged the interior. There are a lot of handset devices.
As a result, the content of He Yu's conversation with Niu Zhuang and Hu Sanshun was quickly learned by Xu Qingyan because of the existence of these earphone devices.
So, just when He Yu thought he had a plan, something happened!
