Chapter 957: A plucked phoenix is ??not as good as a chicken
Tongzhou has completely entered the war mode, with a large number of troops pouring in, a large number of civilians recruited, and various prefectures and counties have also organized local regiment training, training day and night, ready to enter the battlefield at any time. Even as a logistics auxiliary soldier, they can share the pressure of frontline soldiers. After arriving in Tongzhou from good hands, the most important thing is to mobilize all those who can mobilize and gather all the forces that can gather to jointly deal with the upcoming war.
Tie everyone on a warship is the most important thing in Congliang's battle. Whether you are willing or unwilling, you will naturally be very good. Congliang is not stingy with spiritual encouragement and praise, and even if you are a rank 6 and 7, you will also be rewarded with the quota of small officials of the sixth and seventh ranks. No matter what your background or background, as long as you have strength and power, even if you are the best among the three religions and the most unfavorable ones, you will be given a confession and let you be cleaned from now on.
Although the army is approaching and war may begin at any time, Tongzhou is still happy and sad.
At this moment, in the core area of a large building complex with a high wall and deep wall in the south of Tongzhou City, in the core area of a large building with hundreds of acres, an old man who was nearly 70 years old but still in a good spirit was cursing, and dozens of people lowered their heads to listen, all of them silently.
This old man is the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Donglei. According to legend, when this person was born, it was winter, but thunder fell from the sky. He was regarded as a strange phenomenon by the Zhao family at that time. He has been working hard to cultivate since childhood. After this person grew up, he did not disappoint his expectations and led the Zhao family to the top ranks among the Tongzhou clans. He has been dominating the top for decades. The Xiao family, where the current governor Xiao Zhongze is located, was determined to develop after Xiao Zhongze became the governor of Tongzhou, but he was slightly inferior to him. But this time, the Zhao family lost a lot.
Zhao Pu led thousands of family elites to the battlefield. He originally wanted to make another contribution to the Zhao family in this war, so that the Zhao family could return to the top of the Dayue politics, and to show their strength and take it to a new level. However, he never expected that Zhao Pu would be destroyed in Luzhou.
As the leader of the Tongzhou clan, Zhao Pu is the actual commander of all the private armies of Tongzhou this time, and the command of tens of thousands of troops was commanded, which is also the reason why Zhao Donglei is full of confidence. In order for the Zhao family to step into the real core level of the ruler of the Great Yue, it is like the Cao family. This time, the Zhao family came out in full swing, but it was also the one who lost the worst.
Zhao Donglei has always hoped that the Zhao family could become the real top valuation of Dayue like the Cao family and Wang family. Although the current Zhao family is the best in Tongzhou in terms of strength, its political status is inconsistent with their economic strength. When Zhao Donglei was young, he only served as a separate position in Tongzhou. Over the years, due to his lack of power in politics, the development of the Zhao family has declined. For example, the Xiao family, because of Xiao Zhongze, has taken full advantage in all aspects, and the Zhao family is already exhausted. The court allowed the public organization of private soldiers of aristocratic families to set foot on the battlefield to serve the country, which made Zhao Donglei see hope. This is also the reason why Zhao Donglei led some aristocratic families to send troops together in Tongzhou.
But Zhao Pu's failure was like the scorching sun in winter, turning the seemingly high and great snow-capped mountains into Gugu flowing water in an instant.
Luzhou was defeated, and the Zhao elites were all lost in one battle. The Huang family, the Gu family and others who had the same fate as the Zhao family all lost a lot of money in this battle.
Zhao Donglei cursed Zhao Pu's incompetence, ruined the Zhao elite, and beat Zhao back to his original form. He scolded Lou Xiang for escaping in the face of the battle. Otherwise, Zhao Pu might have retreated smoothly and scolded the snobbish people of Tongzhou. Seeing that the Zhao family suffered a great loss, he immediately changed his face and cursed Congliang as a general of the court. He was ruthless in the family that made great efforts for the country and the court, and even brought great persecution.
The seventy-year-old man was furious and cursed for half an hour before he sat down panting.
Zhao Donglei was unable to be angry. Zhao's defeat saw the true faces of many people clearly. Needless to say, the Huang family ended up like itself. Now he is hiding and licking his wounds. The Gu family's five thousand private soldiers were completely destroyed. They don't have to be strong in the Zhao and Huang families, and they can be said to be in a slump. What made Zhao Donglei angry was Xiao's fall and the ruthless turn of the good.
From Liang to Tongzhou, he established a government office as the general of the State, established a headquarters, and unified command of the troops and horses of Tongzhou and the whole country. However, there was no Zhao family in this headquarters. In other words, Zhao family had been excluded from the core circle. The seats above were certain, and the seats below began to be divided, and the Zhao family was even more unsuccessful in an important position. Some Zhao family children who originally held important positions in the Tongzhou Prefecture Office were taken advantage of this opportunity to all go out.
Just like this, Zhao Donglei also endured it. Who told Zhao Pu to be unsuccessful? But then, the newly established general of the State-owned State actually treated his Zhao family as a granary and a treasury, and he was willing to pay a deal without even discussing it. He was directly sent by a document by a small servant, how much grain is required, how much money is required, when will it be delivered, and what will happen overtime? It was so clear that Zhao Donglei, who had been powerful all his life, could withstand this?
Zhao Gang is already in his early fifties. He is Zhao Donglei's eldest son. He originally served as the Sima of Tongzhou in the Tongzhou Prefecture Office. This time, the Xiao family took the opportunity to take it down. Seeing that the old man was thirsty, he quickly picked up the fragrant tea on the table and handed it over: "But my father please calm down. The official documents sent by the prefecture office today are clear. The 100,000 dan of grain, one thousand pigs, one thousand sheep, one hundred cows, and two hundred thousand taels of silver to reward the army. Will we give it to you?"
Zhao Donglei laughed sarcastically, "How can I not give it to you? The Zhao family has become a fat sheep now, and I don't know how many people are staring at it? Tongzhou is now military control. If you let your opponent seize a loophole, you can make a dilemma for life and death. Just one sentence misses the military opportunity, you can easily confiscate our home and chop our heads. Who will ask? Send it to you quickly, and send it to you 10%."
"Father, can you just hold back this tone?"
"What should I do if I can't bear it?" Perhaps the vent of the moment just now made the depression in my heart vent. Zhao Donglei had completely calmed down at this time. "The little impotent is to make a big plan. Now, it is important for us not to let our opponents grab a little handle. Boss, you send it over and hand over the order to the General Congliang. No matter what, you were once Sima of Tongzhou, and they would not stop you from seeing General Cong. When you meet General Cong, you know what to say!"
"Son understand!"
In the Red Chamber, everyone is like losing their parents.
Zhao Donglei looked around at the people in the building, "In the days to come, you all clamped your tails to be human beings. Don't do anything. Tongzhou is not as good as before. If you don't talk about good deeds, the Xiao family is eyeing us and has long been thinking of resenting our Zhao clan. Don't leave any loopholes for your opponents, do you understand!"
"I understand, old man!"
