Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After finally getting over the addiction of being a strict father, when Hao Zheng came back from his inspection tour in Jiaozhou, Hao Fenglou started pretending to be his grandson again.  ¡Ó

    When father and son meet, there are thousands of words to say, but none of them are spoken.

    There were no pleasantries or formalities. Hao Fenglou just called him dad affectionately. Hao Zheng nodded. He took a deep look at Hao Fenglou, knowing that a conversation that would determine the fate of the Hao family was about to begin.  .

    After pondering for a moment, Hao Zheng took a sip of tea and said slowly: "How is the situation in Chengdu Prefecture?"

    Hao Fenglou said: "Grain production has increased sharply, and industry and commerce have also begun to rise. The chief security officers and chiefs have established their authority, and these chief security officers and chiefs are also under the jurisdiction of the government at the prefecture and county level. The government officials have also been abolished and replaced.  Most of them were replaced by recovered soldiers. Most of the old officials were local snakes and had lived in the local area for generations. They deceived the government at the top and deceived the people at the bottom. Therefore, it was extremely difficult to get rid of them. Officials were the clear stream, while the officials were the turmoil.  Officials, these petty officials are the real rulers, and they are the most difficult to offend because they have deep roots in the local area. The son is determined to eradicate these subordinate officials for no other reason than that no one is allowed to stir up trouble in the local area.  If ordinary people take their place, they will definitely be retaliated by these abolished people. They are all local gangsters and have many means. If they really want to unite, even officials will be difficult to provoke, let alone ordinary people, so the son uses the recovered soldiers.  On the one hand, it is to resettle them, and on the other hand, they are officially included in the official establishment and given a monthly salary, which is enough for them to support their families. Furthermore, they are outsiders and are not local.  However, it is difficult for them to deceive superiors and deceive subordinates as they did in the past. Most of them have learned knowledge in the military and can read and write without any problem, so they are enough to take on important tasks.  The most important thing is that they are retired soldiers and are by no means good people. If they are retaliated by those in the past, and they are strong-willed, they can stabilize the place. "

    Hao Fenglou first focused on the issue of officials, in fact, the reform of the official system.  He is not in a hurry at the moment, because most of these officials are Qingliu officials, who pride themselves on their status, but actually have little influence on the local area. These people do not dare to do anything as long as the policy is implemented.  On the contrary, it is different with officials. Officials are the flesh and blood of the place, which not only directly affects the people's impression of the Hao family.  Moreover, it is the main force to implement policies and control the local area. It is best to abolish the old officials and replace them with demobilized soldiers.  These people are absolutely loyal to the Hao family and have no problem with their abilities. There are dozens or hundreds of such people in a county.  Enough to maintain the situation.

    Hao Zheng nodded, as if listening to Hao Fenglou's work report.  He listened patiently to Hao Fenglou's report, and finally.  He looked very happy and said: "In fact, there are some people in the Political Bureau who have some criticisms about local affairs. I was worried about it at first, but now it seems that these worries are unnecessary. It seems that I have more  Think about it. You have done a good job in the local area and have not disappointed me. Well, my father has called you back this time for just one thing. See for yourself. "

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    After Hao Zheng finished speaking, he took out a copy of the decree and placed it on the coffee table.

    Hao Feng stepped forward, picked up the imperial edict, and smiled.

    This is a decree from Empress Dowager Xu, saying that she cares about Hao Fenglou a lot, and asks Hao Fenglou to take Princess Jing and Princess Jing¡¯s child Hao Qinzheng to Beijing to visit the bride.

    "The Queen Mother said in the imperial edict that she fell seriously ill last month and was on the line between life and death, so she was thinking about her loved ones and asked you and Zhiling to go to Beijing no matter what. What do you think?"

    Hao Fenglou said: "But I don't know if the news from the Military Intelligence Department in Jinling can confirm the Queen Mother's condition?"

    "There is indeed news in the palace, but it may not be impossible if the suspicion is based on old grounds."

    Hao Fenglou said: "If this decree is true, it would be unreasonable for me, the adopted son and son-in-law, to be indifferent to the Queen Mother when she was dying. If this is false, if I don't go, I will not only give them criticism  My excuse for being disloyal and unjust, and if the war breaks out again, they will occupy the moral high ground and can pour all the dirty water on Lang Son. Of course, these don't matter. What my son is most worried about is if the Queen Mother.  Is the claim of illness true? If the Queen Mother is really seriously ill, many things cannot be justified. "

    Hao Zheng said slowly: "So my father feels that the war must start. Once we refuse, the court will be more wary of us. Although this edict talks about flesh and blood family ties, it is not a test, a?They feel that it is inevitable, so they have no choice but to jump over the wall.  My father asked you to come back because he hopes that you will come back immediately to take charge of the Tiance Mansion, make war mobilization and make various preparations, and once there is a break-up, immediately go for the Northern Expedition.  "

    Hao Zheng seemed very determined. Hao Fenglou knew that his father was not a radical person. The reason why he was so determined was probably related to the attitude of the main militants in Lang Son. The influence of these people on his father  Very big.

    Hao Fenglou seemed very hesitant. The most direct way is to take action immediately and strike first. This is of course a good idea, but

    Hao Fenglou thought for a while and said: "Once the troops are launched, the court will be monolithic. Father, maybe to a certain extent, this is the result they want. Some people in the court are eager for us to take action."

    Hao Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "So what do you mean?"

    Hao Fenglou took a deep look at Hao Zheng and then said: "I want to go to Jinling. If the Queen Mother is really critically ill and calls me to go, we will go north instead. This will add insult to injury, and I will feel uneasy. On the other hand, I  I have always felt that the DPRK and China are not monolithic. We have sworn enemies, and we may not have friends who can be used by us. The Lang Son Army¡¯s Northern Expedition has a winning rate of 90%, but if we really fight, both sides will definitely kill each other. When the time comes,  At that time, there were truly thousands of corpses and blood flowing everywhere. This battle was different from other times. Once the fighting started, there was no possibility of letting up. The casualties could be as high as millions. Although the two sides were incompatible, they were incompatible with each other.  After all, it is the gentry in the temple and the countryside who cannot tolerate it, and the rest of the people are, after all, just like us, all of the same clan, and of the same bloodline. Although the world is unkind and everything is a scoundrel, my son has always believed that if he does not  As a last resort, we must try our best to avoid such a situation. Otherwise, once the seeds of hatred are planted, it will not be just a group of masters who will really hate us in the future."

    Hao Fenglou's words were the result of his careful consideration. The current situation is very similar to the Civil War. Two different lifestyles and two different social forms hate each other. Public opinion on both sides has reached its peak. Once the war starts, there will be no  If peace is possible, every last drop of blood must be shed. One can imagine how brutal the war will be.

    Once this happens, after millions of casualties are caused, even ordinary people in the north of Guangdong will inevitably have hatred towards the Hao family and the entire Lang Son because a large number of people died at the hands of the Lang Son Army. This kind of  Hatred can never be eliminated without several generations. Killing is not Hao Fenglou's purpose. Hao Fenglou hopes for a better result, not countless deaths.

    Hao Zheng was angry and couldn't help but said: "This is the best way. Why, do you still want to take risks? You are too young and energetic. This time, my father will never let you make your own decisions.  I will never let you take risks easily.¡±

    "Father my son is not a kind person, but there are millions of casualties, and quite a few of these people are our soldiers in Lang Son. They believe in our Hao family and are willing to die generously for us. Could it be that my father really  Are you willing to let them bleed in vain?"

    Hao Zheng sneered, rolled his sleeves and said, "You don't have to say anything, my father will not let you be presumptuous this time."

    The conversation ended in a very unpleasant way. Even during dinner, the women noticed the strangeness between father and son. Hao's mother wanted to ask, but Hao Zheng just kept a straight face. In fact, he could understand Hao Fenglou's behavior.  , Hao Fenglou wants to use better methods, and some methods are not unfeasible, but Hao Zheng cannot accept them.

    Hao Zheng just had a sullen face and ignored Hao's mother.

    And Hao Fenglou simply lowered his head to eat.

    After eating, Hao Zheng sighed, winked, and turned away everyone. Then he glanced at Hao Fenglou and said, "What are you going to do?"

    Hao Fenglou said: "My son has already listed some plans, but they are not detailed enough yet. I will report them in a few days."

    Hao Zheng glared at him and said: "I'm not 100% sure. My father will definitely not allow you to do anything wrong. Don't you understand how important your life is? Maybe there is already a dragnet waiting for you in Jinling."  "

    Hao Fenglou smiled slightly and said: "So you must be fully prepared. Your son is also a person who cherishes his life. How could he seek his own death?"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­%¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­
