Chapter one hundred and seventy-ninth slow to become king
After reoccupied Feihu County, after a night of harassment, everything in the county was pacified. More than a dozen villains who took the opportunity to make trouble were cut off and hung high on the top of the city as a warning. The order in the city was restored to orderly.
Gao Yue sat in the middle hall. Although the Gao family was not a local prominent family, he was an official for generations. As the legitimate son of Gao Yue, he read less poetry and books, and later went on a study tour with his sword. Because he was eloquent, he also had a little reputation in Feihu County. His father died of illness and retired early, so he was still studying in the county school, so he entered the yamen early to do business. Now, he is in the hutou clan, because his father was in the county government, so he was a powerful candidate for the next six Caos.
It was clear at the moment, and the sound of pounding the door in front of the door was heard. The seven or eight young people in the Gao family were all trembling. However, Gao Yue said calmly: "Since you come, please feel at ease and open the door."
Gao Yue changed into the yamen's robes and went forward. After the gate opened, two soldiers came to "invited" Gao Yue to the county government. Gao Yue knew that although he was polite, he could not refuse. He immediately took a big step forward. After arriving at the county government, ordinary colleagues stood in front of the door and talked a lot. When they saw Gao Yue, they stepped forward together.
"Brother Gao, I didn't expect you to come too."
One person said, "I heard that the city was destroyed last night, and several people in the county were taken down and imprisoned in prison. I am afraid that we will be summoned to investigate and settle the matter today."
Gao Yue said calmly: "Everyone, don't worry, strong dragons do not suppress local snakes. The foundation of our county is comparable to those with the surname Li. Just remember the principle of prosperity and loss, and join the group to advance and retreat together. This Li dare not do anything to us."
"Yes, if the one named Li dared to settle us, I would have already made the grain merchants stop the market when they saw the opportunity."
"I have also given the instructions and asked dozens of party chiefs and village chiefs to join forces to take the guards and ask for our mission."
"That's right, I can let half of the market vendors support us and can strike."
Gao Yue laughed and said, "I'm still worried about this." After that, everyone laughed.
"Do they say that one prospers and one prosper and one loser?" Li Chongjiu heard the eavesdropping report, sneered, and said, "Do they think I am still an official of the Sui Dynasty, and they think I dare not kill anyone?"
At this moment, Li Chongjiu said, "I originally wanted to talk to them, but now there is no need to detain these people together, and they are not allowed to be given food. I also ordered that any business would be confiscated if it was a business that would be dismissed."
Although Li Chongjiu had an iron-fisted approach, he actually knew that this could only be governed for a while, but not for a long time. Feihu County was so good for the time being, but it would not be possible if other counties were promoted. As we all know, since the Qin Dynasty, the county system was finally implemented. The core of the county system was to change the feudal dimension of the Zhou Dynasty and govern the local government with central officials. By the Sui Dynasty, the auxiliary officials of the county and county were recruited from the governor and prefect to the court, which further strengthened the central government's control over the local government. However, even so, the court's control over the local government was only at the level of the county.
Regarding the control of the county below, the Sui Dynasty used the three elders to be the leader of the education, and the party leader was one level after another. In ancient times, communication was backward and transportation was inconvenient. The Chinese followed the creed of not being able to interact with each other when they were old and died. Most of the people in the local villages and villages had never left the village in their lifetime and went to the outside world to take a look. At present, Li Chongjiu had strong control of a county. To put it bluntly, it was just a county town, but to truly integrate the power, it still needed these local tyrants. It was not easy to control the local area. Not only did local forces cooperate, but more importantly, the Sui Dynasty was the current righteousness. Although the people hated Yang Guang to the core, Li Chongjiu was a rebel in the eyes of everyone.
Just as Li Chongjiu was thinking about this, he suddenly received an emergency military information.
It turned out that after Liu Wuzhou killed Wang Rengong and occupied Mayi County, he opened a warehouse to provide relief to the poor. He sent a letter to the territory and obtained more than 10,000 troops and claimed to be the prefect of Mayi. Liu Wuzhou was a native of Mayi. Before the uprising, he had already been supported by the heroes in Mayi County. After killing Wang Rengong, he took the opportunity to open a warehouse to provide relief to the victims and won the hearts of the people. Now Mayi County is completely under his control. At present, Li Yuan is in Taiyuan County and Wang Xuba, and Wei Daoer's tens of thousands of bandits had no time to fight against the rebellion. So he ordered the Yanmen County Magistrate Chen Xiaoyi and the Huben General Wang Zhibian to lead the army to suppress the rebellion from Yanmen.
At this moment, Liu Wuzhou led his army to fight. In the early stage of the fierce battle between the two armies, Liu Wuzhou was at a disadvantage and was surrounded by Sanggan Town, Mayi. Unexpectedly, he turned to the Turks at this time. Shibi Khan dispatched the Turkic cavalry to help Liu Wuzhou defeat Chen Xiaoyi.
Wang Zhibian and the other two. Liu Wuzhou took this opportunity to raise an army less than a month before annexing Loufan County and sent troops to Yanmen County. If Yanmen County is lost, the road from Huaihuang Town to Feihu County will be interrupted, so he cannot sit idly by. However, Feihu County has not yet truly subdued, and Li Chongjiu is unable to send troops to compete with Liu Wuzhou for Yanmen County.
Li Chongjiu, Li Hu, Su Su, Sun Erniang, Zhao Wansan, Gao Chu and others discussed the next countermeasures together.
Su Suyan said: "The people's dissatisfaction at the moment is because their reputation is not justified and unfavorable. The scholars and people do not know whether we are bandits or officials, so they have doubts about us. To conquer the people, we should have a name so that the people can submit to them."
Gao Chu heard the words and said, "It is better to be king than to be king. Wang Xuba is not a bandit, he also calls himself the king of Mantian and calls himself Yan. With the wealth of king and marquis, he is far better than Wang Xuba, why bother with his descendants?"
Li Huyan said: "Isn't it true that he calls himself a king? We have officers and soldiers on all sides of our county. If he calls himself a king, wouldn't it be a vindication for attacking people?"
Zhao Wansan said, "We have already rebelled against the court now. Instead of hiding it, it is better to raise a big banner and formally seize one side. We can also officially express our great ambitions to all directions and allow heroes from all directions who are determined to be in the world to submit."
Li Chongjiu raised his eyes and saw Zhao Wansan's eyes shining everywhere. He was obviously an ambitious person. It is not impossible to be a king. Later generations said that he would slowly become king and stock up on grain. However, he could indeed gather the morale of the whole country in the early stage and show his ambitions to all directions, so that heroes would come to vote, but the shortcomings were that he would be afraid of the same forces around him. If Li Chongjiu wanted to advance from the Great Sui Dynasty at the moment, becoming king was indeed a good way.
