Boss Zhou had heard about this epidemic in the army, but the current situation was just "heard" without seeing it with his own eyes. He didn't care about anything else and just rode out of the palace.
He took two hundred guards with him, and several elders were also extremely concerned about this matter. They got on their horses and rushed to the western suburbs with the guards in their arms.
After leaving the palace, as Lu Baichuan said, he saw soldiers, government officials, and many Jingwei jumping out. Jingzhao Mansion was undoubtedly the first to receive the news, and the reaction was also the fastest. Many government officials They all flocked to the Western Market to check on the merchants.
Boss Zhou didn't even look at the situation in the West Market and rushed out of the city to Majiazhuang without stopping.
It was already setting sun, and when Boss Zhou arrived, Majiazhuang was still burning, with flames reaching into the sky.
It was impossible to burn such a large Majiazhuang, as well as pastures and pastures, together. Han You had to have people set up isolation zones, fearing that the fire would burn his villa.
The troops of the Gongma camp stood on the official road. Ma Rulong took the few remaining villagers who could run and jump to set the fire. The other people in Majiazhuang were all squatting under the official road with their hands on their heads, or their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen. Either his face is dark, or his body is covered in blood. Either way, it's quite miserable.
Han You was squatting nearby and watching the fun.
Originally, he was preparing to enter the palace, but then he had an idea and found out that he got the 200,000 yuan from Ma Laoer.
Normally, if a sick horse appears in the villa, it needs to be moved, but it is not 100% justified. If Zhou Ke or Shen Tugang interferes, it will be another troublesome matter.
That's what I thought from Ma Laoer's perspective, but it was different from Han You's perspective.
He knew that Ma Laoer would definitely move, no matter what, no matter who stood in the way.
Since it was definitely necessary to move, he simply ordered to set fire to Majiazhuang and burn it to the ground. It was reasonable and reasonable. Once it was burned, he had to move it even if he didn't want to move it. This fulfilled Ma Lao Er's wish.
Of course, Han You definitely didn’t have any kind intentions, so he offered 200,000 yuan conditionally!
Ma Rulong was so angry that he could only hold his nose and admit it.
Money is not important to him, what is important is things, and the sooner things are done, the better.
Ma Fenghou was deeply moved, and felt more and more that Han You was being righteous. As for the 200,000 yuan, he didn't earn the money anyway, and he had no idea about money.
When Boss Zhou came with a group of guards, Han You was quite surprised. Then he stood up slowly and prepared a perfunctory salute.
The emperor came with Zhang Xingshun and a group of people who came to the palace to report the news. He asked about the specific situation while galloping, and he roughly understood what was going on.
After understanding the details, the emperor suddenly realized that it was not necessary for him to leave the palace, but he had already arrived at the west gate by then. If he went back, it would be in vain.
This shows that Boss Zhou really trusts Han You and believes in Han You's judgment that the sick horse did not flow into the capital.
Turning over and dismounting, the first thing Boss Zhou saw was not Han You's face, but Han You's chest, which was bulging.
Boss Zhou's eyes turned red when he thought of Han You carrying 200,000 yuan in his arms.
After the guards dispersed in circles, Wenwu entered the village, not knowing what to do.
Before Han You could salute, Boss Zhou walked over quickly and lowered his voice: "Half!"
"What's the point of splitting half of it when we meet?"
"Two hundred thousand dollars." Boss Zhou almost reached out and grabbed it: "I heard about it."
He couldn't figure out why it was so easy for Han You to get money. He was a majestic emperor, but he struggled to get some money. He had been on the throne for so long, and he still hadn't seen the money back, so he just spent money on it.
"It's already autumn, and the arrears of food and pay for the troops at the North and South Passes are not yet..."
"Brother." Han You was completely convinced: "There is an epidemic, can you do something serious?"
"Didn't the captain say you've done everything?"
"I haven't entered the city yet, so I can't be 100% sure."
Han You didn't dare to take this case. He told the truth: "But the people from the Natu Department beat them so hard that their own mothers didn't even recognize them. They were interrogated separately. There should be no lies. Again, I don't dare to take the case." ticket."
Boss Zhou looked at Majiazhuang, where the smoke was rising into the sky, and said happily: "I know you are right to deal with Majiazhuang. It has only been so long now that even their old nest has been burned down, hahaha."
In the distance, a sinister look came back, it was Jiang Dingshan who was still tied up tightly.
This guy was under the supervision of Uncle Qin himself, and his mouth was gagged.
Originally, when he saw the emperor coming, he kept twisting and trying to scream something.
As a result, when he saw that Boss Zhou and Han You were sneaking around and laughing while holding hands, Jiang Dingshan closed his eyes in despair. He was sure, certain, and certain that his two legs were useless. broken.
However, what Jiang Dingshan didn't know was that Boss Zhou had just noticed him and just glanced at him.
In less than half a second, the emperor's eyes were full of contempt and contempt.
Not only was the commander of the first battalion captured, but also his personal entourage and others were captured. If this had happened in Boss Zhou's camp before, both legs and arms would have been broken.
The incompetence of one general exhausted the three armies. This is exactly what he meant. In the eyes of Boss Zhou, Jiang Dingshan was the incompetent among the incompetent.
There are six branches of the Jingwei, some strong and some weak. Boss Zhou barely touched these generals in charge of the Jingying camp, not because he was reassured, but because the stakes were too high, and it was not that he did not move, but because the time had not yet come.
This is also the cleverness of Boss Zhou. If he can come to Beijing to become emperor, how can he not have generals who are loyal to him?
There are not only some, there are many, but Boss Zhou did not transfer these people to the capital or the Ministry of War, but let them stay in the state capitals, the purpose is to shock those wealthy families.
There are many, many generals like Jiang Dingshan in Beijing, and Boss Zhou knows it well.
The military, especially the Ministry of War and Jingwei, is complicated, even more so than the civil servant group.
There is at least a threshold for civil servants to become officials. They must be familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics of Confucian classics.
Looking at the military generals, you can become a flag officer and lieutenant with a little money. If you have connections in your family, you can become a general with no problem.
This situation was most serious at the end of the previous dynasty. The emperor knew that he could no longer control his civil servants, so he wanted to firmly control the military power in his hands, promote those who were "loyal" to him, and throw them all into the army.
Let's just talk about Han Bairen seizing the palace. Old Han Meng is really fierce, and Jingwei is really rubbish. Otherwise, it would not be possible for Han Bairen to lead thousands of people to chase Jingwei and beat him in the city.
Just like in later generations, tens of thousands of two-year conscripts were exhausted and could not defeat thousands of elite field troops.
In addition to the uneven level of the generals, the same is true for the army. The army in Beijing is as hereditary. The old soldiers take off their armor, use money and connections, and send their nephews to live in the camp. landing.
Compared with the frontier army, which has one major battle every three years and one small battle every half year, the troops in Beijing only train every five days. Comparing them with the frontier army is a bit underwhelming.
Not to mention the frontier troops, even the Zhechong Prefecture and even the garrison guards were not as good as the Zhechong Prefecture. Zhechong Prefecture often suppressed bandits and sometimes disrupted the people. There were not enough troops on the front line, so the sergeants of Zhechong Prefecture in the rear had to go to the front line.
The Jingwei seemed to have a high status and guarded the capital, but in fact most of them had never been in battle.
Every gain must come with a loss. Although Boss Zhou won the throne without any bloodshed, he also inherited the mess made by the previous dynasty. The army was not good, the people were not rich, the officials were unkind, and such a large dynasty did not know where to fix it. .
Han You has already told Boss Zhou everything he knows about the situation, down to the smallest detail.
"I see, we moved to the north of the city to build a village."
Boss Zhou looked at the blazing fire and smiled solemnly: "It's strange that the Ma brothers are scared."
Han You was embarrassed to say anything. He felt that it had nothing to do with whether he was afraid or not. He could only say that Ma Rulong was mature.
Ma Rulong is fearless and aggressive.
Ma Laoer, who is not afraid of anything, but can also think of a way out, is so difficult to deal with.
