Chapter 135 Killing with a Knife

The Battle of Guangzhou soon came to an end with Lu Xun's surrender.

In addition to Panyu, Lu Xun's army outside was also disarmed by Lu Qiang in his name. As soon as the big tree fell, the moles on the tree would certainly not stay. Moreover, Lu Zhun was usually mean and ungrateful, and there were few people who were really willing to be loyal to him.

After Lu Xun's search, except for several larger county cities in Panyu, other places are dilapidated, which can be said to be a waste and withered. Obviously, it is not a matter of a day or two for these places to become rich.

After studying with Sima Xiuzhi and others, Lu Qiang issued several decrees in a row.

On the one hand, it is exempt from all harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and promises that the people under Guangzhou will not levy any tax service for three years, giving the people enough time to rest and recuperate.

On the other hand, Lu Xun's tens of thousands of troops were reorganized and dismantled, and the young and strong were divided into other Jingzhou armies, and the older ones were directly disarmed and returned to the field.

Under Lu Xun's search, he could no longer find a decent rich family, which also saved Lu Qiang a lot of strength, so he ordered the government to measure the land again and then divide the land to the people.

The treatment of the Jingzhou army is the best, and there is nothing to say that Lu Qiang treats the people under his rule, so after this series of decrees, the Guangzhou area soon stabilized.

Guangzhou is located on the coast and has a lot of room for development, so Lu Qiang intends to build it into a commercial port, but ocean trade has not yet begun, so he can only choose other ways to improve the economy here.

According to the former edict of Sima Dewen, Lu Qiang has the power to govern the military of the five states, so that two-thirds of the coastline of the Jin Dynasty is under his control.

What else can drive the economy before ocean trade begins? Lu Qiang thought of something, salt.

In this era, most of the salt is taken by boiling, and there is no large-scale drying of salt. This kind of soil method is time-consuming and laborious, and the output is not very high.

If you use the sun exposure method, you can not only save costs, but also increase salt production. It's just that the salt at this time has not been iod. Although Lu Qiang knew the harm, he didn't study hard when he went to school in his previous life. He didn't know anything about iodine except that it could be added to salt.

It's really a book when it's time to use!

Lu Qiang often sighs like this.

An edict was issued to Dai Qianqiu, ordering him to find some experienced people in this field to come to Guangzhou, and at the same time, he opened a large-scale salt farm along the coast from Guangzhou to Jiangzhou.

While resuming production, Lu Qiang ordered Zhang Changzhi to select 3,000 elite sailors to send to Xu Daofu, who led him to Japan. As for how to toss around there, that's his business.

Xu Daofu was sent away, but Lu Qiang was a little worried about how to deal with Lu Xun. This person must not be kept, but who will kill him?

Although Lu Xun is not a great talent, he is a capricious master. In addition, he is still wearing the coat of Guangzhou Assassin. If he is killed like this, it is easy to be criticized, so the best way is to take him to Jiankang for trial and then be executed in Jiankang.

It's just a long way to Jiankang. What if you are rescued on the road? He flattened Guangzhou. Tiansong Laodao has never taken action except for dragging himself back from Jiankang. I don't know what the old Tao has been busy with recently, but who can guarantee that he will not come to rob people?

After a long meditation, Lu Qiang finally decided to secretly detain Lu Xun first. After Guangzhou was completely stabilized, he took him back to Jiangling.

Guangzhou, as its own rear, must ensure that nothing will happen, so the officials here must also be replaced by the most trusted people.

It turned out that Lu Qiang belonged to Han Yanzhi, but before his identity was disclosed, this person could not be used too heavily. Finally, he decided to hand over Guangzhou to the old general Feng Gai. At the same time, he wrote to Wu Yinzhi, who returned to Jiankang, asking him to come back as the governor of Guangzhou.

Wu Yinzhi turned out to be the assassin of Guangzhou. He was in charge of the army, supplemented by Feng, and surrounded by Jing and Jiangzhou, so that Guangzhou could be completely controlled in his own hands.

After solving the matter in Guangzhou, Lu Qiang's eyes fell on Jiaozhou again. In fact, a large area of Jiaozhou at this time is Vietnam in the future, but now that it is my own land, it is not polite.

The assassin of Jiaozhou is a man named Ruan Ming. Because Jiaozhou is located in the south, the court's ability to control there is really limited, so Ruan Ming is like the local emperor in Jiaozhou.

Although Jiaozhou borders Guangzhou, the mountains are dense, the miasma is rampant, and there are many indigenous people in the mountains, so Lu Xun can only turn a blind eye to the local emperor who is close at hand.

Of course, Lu Qiang can't be like Lu Xun. No matter how bad the conditions are, as long as it is my territory, it must be under my control.

Jiaozhou is also close to the sea, and it is not easy to travel on land. Is it okay to go from the sea?

Lu Qiang knows that large countries often empathize their neighbors with benevolence and morality, but it also depends on who they are right, such as people on the other side of Jiaozhi, and there is no need to talk about benevolence and morality.

And there was no need for Lu Qiang to come forward to deal with such a small place. He sent an order to Han Yanzhi and ordered him to lead 5,000 navy and cross the sea to Jiaozhou County.

Jiaozhou is still the territory of the imperial court in name, and there is no need to appoint too many people. For Han Yanzhi, who is supremacy, he is also willing to pacify those places that refuse to obey Wang Hua.

Lu Qiang's order to Han Yanzhi is also very simple. After arriving, he will take down the assassin of Jiaozhou and take him to Jiangling for trial. Then he will recruit local people to speed up the construction of the road from Jiaozhou to Guangzhou. At the same time, he will also build three roads so that the imperial court can control there.

Just when Lu Qiang was engaged in production in Guangzhou, Jiankang was also brewing a storm.

Liu Yu was angry. He didn't expect that as soon as he came out of Jiankang, someone dared to do such a big thing?

Everyone knows that Liu Yu will fight against Lu Qiang sooner or later, but it is up to him when and how to do it. How can he order to dismiss Lu Qiang's official position without his consent?

He dreams of pinching Lu Qiang, but if Lu Qiang is so easy to be killed, why does he need to wait until today?

And through this incident, Liu Yu also became deeply alerted. He thought that after driving away Liu Yi, Jiankang was already his own world. Now otherwise, it turned out that there were hidden forces.

After receiving the news, Liu Yu immediately put down his affairs and rushed back to Jiankang from Beijing. In fact, without his strength, Lu Qiang had written him a letter, in which mentioned that Tiansong pretended to preach and actually developed the plot of believers to overthrow the court.

In fact, even if Lu Qiang didn't say anything, Liu Yu had already been alert to the old way of jumping up and down, but he didn't expect that his power had developed to such a powerful point.

Liu Yu is in charge of Shangshu Province and is also in charge of the national military affairs. Among them, Shangshu Province is the place where all political orders are issued, and the edict exempting Lu Qiang was issued without passing Shangshu Province. Obviously, the person who can issue this edict is obviously not an ordinary person.

This kind of thing is easy to investigate. When Liu Yu didn't even have time to drink a mouthful of hot tea in his house, a string of names of court officials were sent to him.

"Shizhong, Wang Shichun, Prince Shaofu, Feng Kui, Zhongshu Shilang, Diao Xi..."

Looking at these names, Liu Yu's face became more and more gloomy. These people are all people around the emperor. He is not worried about the emperor's safety, let alone believe that this will be what Emperor Sima Dewen means. However, these people are willing to be the lackeys of Tiansong, and the power of tomorrow may not be limited to that.

Don't these people know the consequences of false intentions? But since they know the consequences and still do so, do they have any basis?

Thinking of this, Liu Yu couldn't help narrowing his eyes.

Jiankang Weiwei Wang Lin's Mansion.

If you look at it from the outside alone, Weiwei Mansion is still the same as before, but if you can enter the backyard, you will feel the tense atmosphere.

Outside Wang Lin's calligraphy, it was already three steps, one post, five steps and one whistle. The guards bowed the strings and the knives out of the sheath, all looked solemn, as if they were facing a big war.

There are more than a dozen people sitting in the calligraphy. Although it is broad daylight outside, the window of the study is blocked, which makes the atmosphere inside more depressing.

Wang Lin sat down with a gloomy face, and it was Tiansong Laodao who sat at the top.

Tian Song looked around more than a dozen nervous senior officials in the capital and said slowly, "Guys, Liu Yu has come back. It depends on your own choice whether you live or die."

Although Wang Lin is Tiansong's best friend, it is about life and death, and some words have to be clarified. In the eager eyes of his colleagues, he said, "Teacher, disciples and others are not afraid of death. They just want to know how you plan to place the emperor once Liu Yu is killed? In addition, although we can control some people, how can we resist if Liu Yi or Lu forcibly kills us?

Tiansong can now be said to be almost exhausted. Guangzhou's nest has been uprooted by Lu Qiang, and in order to drag the road strong, he has exposed part of Jiankang's strength.

The current situation is that if he doesn't take action again, the painstakingly managed Jiankang forces will also be eliminated by Liu Yu, so he has decided to make a desperate bet.

He has already thought that as long as Liu Yu is killed and the situation of Jiankang is controlled, he will be responsible for the emperor to order the princes, gather believers from all over the world, and form a teacher who is completely loyal to him in Jiankang.

At that time, with the emperor in his hand and the support of civil and military officials, isn't it easy to rely on Jiankang to fight against Liu Yi or Lu Qiang?

After listening to Wang Lin's words, he smiled and said, "Although the Jin court has existed in name only, as far as our current strength is concerned, it is not enough to provoke our banner. After removing Liu Yu, we will declare Liu Yu's guilt in the name of the emperor, and then gather hundreds of thousands of disciples who spread the world to Beijing, and only If you want our soldiers to organize, why are you afraid of Lu Qiang and Liu Yi?

These officials who worship him don't know much about the mysterious fairy, and those who are willing to obey his orders are duped by him with his so-called fairy arts, and of course many are coerced.

The current situation is here. Liu Yu will definitely not have any good fruit when he comes back to investigate, so instead of waiting for death, it's better to fight him. Maybe he can come back with a world glory.

After Tiansong finished speaking, everyone, including Wang Lin, became enthusiastic...
