Turbulent Times Chapter 1445: Prepare to exterminate

In the imperial study room, Yun Dingxing knelt on the ground with blood pouring from his forehead. He still didn't dare to move. Yang Guang's face was ashen, and he paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. Enough naval warships are needed to carry most of the courtiers and 100,000 imperial troops to Jiangdu.

There used to be a large number of ships near Luoyang that Yang Guang used to patrol the south of the Yangtze River three years ago. It is a pity that when Yang Su rebelled two years ago, the rebels worried that Luoyang court officials would escape by boat, so they burned most of it.

So, at the moment, we can only build new ships, but this Yun Dingxing insists that he will not be able to build them in half a year.

Yang Guang walked back and forth like a lunatic for a long time, then suddenly stopped, and turned around and roared: "Yun Dingxing, give me a clear answer, when will you be able to manufacture enough ships? You don't want it in half a year." If you mention it again, I will kill you if you mention it again."

Yun Dingxing shivered, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, it will take four months at the soonest!"

"No! I can't wait, at most two months, if the ship is not built, I will have your head chopped off!"

Yun Dingxing lamented in his heart, thinking that he was loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, and he didn't want to fall to this point. He looked at His Majesty's red eyes with murderous intent, and knew that he could no longer disobey the Emperor's will at this time, otherwise It is very likely that it will lead to death immediately.

Seeing that Yun Dingxing did not speak for a long time, Yang Guang stared at him firmly, and said coldly: "Wagang Li Mi, Li Yuan from the north, and Wang Junlin from the east, these three thieves may kill you at any time." Come to Luoyang, Yun Dingxing, could it be that you have colluded with the thieves and want to trap me to death in Luoyang?"

Yun Dingxing had no choice but to wipe off the blood on his forehead, weeping: "I understand, I must find a way to build enough ships within two months."

At this time, Pei Shiju walked in without waiting for the notification, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, you can't wait for two months. I have a way to let your majesty go to Jiangnan within a month."

When Yang Guang heard this, he was overjoyed and asked quickly, "How can Pei Aiqing get enough ships?"

Pei Shiju said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I heard that Wang Junlin's shipbuilding workshop in Fanyang County has a large number of civilian ships and warships, and there are nearly 100,000 navy warships. Why don't your majesty order Wang Junlin?

King's Landing calls for ships. "

Yang Guang frowned, and snorted coldly: "Do you think Wang Junlin will listen to me and dispatch a large number of warships just for my use?"

Pei Shiju hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, why not exchange some rewards with Wang Junlin for a large number of warships."

Yang Guang's heart was moved, and he asked: "Wang Junlin is already the only king with a different surname in the world, and his Far East Army has more money than the imperial court. What other rewards can I give him, or what other rewards can he give him?" Satisfied."

Pei Shiju immediately said: "Your Majesty, there is news from Hebei that Wang Junlin has led an army to completely occupy the six counties of Hebei. Why not simply order Wang Junlin to be the Chief of Hebei, so that the imperial court can use this to restore some dignity, and let Wang Junlin send a batch of warships here for His Majesty to take people to Jiangdu."

Yang Guang's expression fluctuated, and finally he let out a long sigh, and said: "According to what Aiqing said, this matter will be handled by Aiqing, and I will trouble Aiqing to negotiate with Wang Junlin about the warship."

"The minister obeys the order." Pei Shiju was overjoyed. This matter was a matter of pleasing both sides. He was very clear about Wang Junlin's current strategic layout, and knew that the order issued by Yang Guang and the court seemed useless, but it could be done in Wang Junlin's hands. In exchange for countless benefits, at least no matter how much Wang Junlin tosses, the word "rebel" will not hit him on the head, which is righteous to a certain extent.

In this way, the emperor will be grateful to him, which is a great achievement. On the other hand, Wang Junlin also made a deal, let the other party owe him a big favor, and made Pei's life on Wang Junlin's road much safer.

"Your Majesty, I still have something to report." Pei Shiju remembered his original purpose of entering the palace today.

Yang Guang solved the problem of the boat going to the south of the Yangtze River, and his mood improved a lot. He asked, "What's the matter, Pei Aiqing, but it's okay."

Pei Shiju said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the reward for the imperial army fighting the Turks in Yanmen City cannot be delayed any longer."

The joyful expression on Yang Guang's face disappeared immediately, and he sighed: "I have led the army to kill all directions, of course I know that the rewards of the army after the war must not be delayed, let alone in arrears, but the problem is that the court has no money left." The extra money is used for rewards."

"Your Majesty, Luoyang

There are many rich families in the city, and there are many wealthy families who have colluded with the Wagang bandits. Your Majesty can order a thorough investigation to seize their properties. "Pei Shiju came to see Yang Guang today, because he has already thought of a countermeasure, and this countermeasure is also killing two birds with one stone for him. It can not only get rid of the two aristocratic families who have enmity with Pei Shi, but also temporarily solve the morale problem of the imperial army.

Yang Guang's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he waved his hands without asking further questions: "Aiqing's plan is very clever. I asked Yu Wencheng to send a team of guards to Aiqing, and then let Aiqing handle the matter. Those who dare to collude with the Wagang rebels will kill them all."

Pei Shiju said: "Your Majesty, I am going to lead those soldiers who have made great contributions in Yanmen City. Let them do this, and it will calm down the resentment that the rewards have not been delivered."

Yang Guang pondered for a while, and said: "That's fine, I will decree that you will take them to do it!"

…

…

At night, when Pei Shiju returned to the mansion, his grandson Pei Yuanqing had been waiting on the steps for a long time, he hurried forward to salute, "Grandfather is back."

"Yeah!" Pei Shiju agreed, and said, "Yuanqing, get ready and find a chance to go to Hebei to find Wang Junlin!"

Pei Yuanqing's eyes lit up, and he quickly bowed and said yes.

Assisting Pei Shiju to walk towards the study, Pei Yuanqing thought of his colleagues in the army, especially those who died in battle without receiving pensions, and they couldn't live a life, so he asked: "Grandfather, the matter of awarding the reward has come down." Is it?"

Pei Shiju shook his head and said, "The imperial court has no money either."

Pei Yuanqing was discouraged all of a sudden, and said with a bitter face: "Grandfather, if your majesty doesn't give the rewards in place, you won't be afraid of the soldiers' mutiny."

"Don't worry! Your Majesty has asked me to do one thing. If this thing is done well, the grievances of the soldiers will be calmed down." Pei Shiju said with a sneer, his eyes full of murderous intent. For a century-old family, there will always be some enemies over the years, even in peacetime, there is pressure from the court, and someone from their Pei family holds a high position, so they don't have to worry about the disaster of extermination, but in troubled times, it is different. At this time Often when feuding clans and aristocratic clans exterminate each other to avenge each other, Pei Shiju is going to act first and directly exterminate the clans of the two Guanlong nobles in the capital who have feuds with their Pei clan.
