374 The Two Ends
After the fall of the Hongguang Dynasty, the situation in Zhejiang was really extremely complicated. Although Ma Shiying and the Zhejiang Party were both remnants of the eunuch party, they still had to fight openly and secretly, and fight for power and profit.
After all, the difference between being in power and not being in power is too big.
Whoever takes power can do whatever he wants and tramples others under his feet. If others take power, they will only be trampled by others.
Ma Shiying naturally didn't want to be stepped on by others. He was the chief assistant of Hongguang, and he was used to stepping on people, so why would he be willing to be stepped on?
The Zhejiang Party is even more reluctant to be trampled on people. But the Wanli Dynasty began to trampled on people. I don’t know how many prime ministers have appeared. Ma Shiying, a little-winged man who has only been the prime minister of the country that has been devastated for several months, wanted to trampled on them. That was simply a dream!
I have to say that the Zhejiang Party is really powerful infighting.
In history, the reason why Ma Shiying lost his voice after fleeing to Zhejiang was because he was stepped on by the Zhejiang Party and was trampled on in a mess and had no chance to make a comeback.
At this moment, he didn't know that the Zhejiang Party had joined forces with Wu Yi to dig a big hole and was about to bury him.
Of course, Wu Yi, a digger, is not as simple as the Zhejiang Party imagined.
The purpose of his digging of this big pit was not just to bury Ma Shiying, he wanted to bury it with the Zhejiang Party!
After He Lun left, Wu Yi began to perform.
He was still an old routine and sneaked off at night. However, this time he was a bit big. He actually led tens of thousands of troops to attack Gui'an and Wucheng in Huzhou City overnight, with only a few hundred troops remaining stationed in Changxing.
The Zhejiang Party officials in Huzhou Prefecture didn't know if they were careless or what was wrong, but they didn't take any precautions. The two largest cities in Huzhou Prefecture, Gui'an and Wucheng, were taken away by Wu Yi overnight.
Immediately afterwards, under Wu Yi's "coercion and temptation", local officials in Deqing, Wukang, Anji, Xiaofeng and other places surrendered within one day.
In other words, it took him less than two days to take over the entire Huzhou Prefecture!
Now, Ma Shiying was so happy, because Huzhou Prefecture is a territory controlled by the Zhejiang Party. Wu Yi's attack on Huzhou Prefecture would be like turning against the Zhejiang Party!
On the third day, Zhang Bingwen ran back to Ancheng again and found Wu Yi.
As soon as they met, he bowed excitedly and said, "Mr. Wu, you are so amazing. The huge Huzhou Prefecture was taken down by you in less than two days."
Wu Yi said proudly: "Hehe, these Zhejiang Party members are kind enough to persuade them not to listen, so I can only give them a warning."
Zhang Bingwen asked with great interest: "Oh, what do they say?"
Wu Yi said unscrupulously: "They said that Master Ma is less than 50,000 troops, and he has no food and no money, so he can't bear it anymore, so they are not in a hurry."
Uh, this is the truth!
Zhang Bingwen glanced at Wu Yi secretly, and then asked carefully: "Mr. Wu, what do you say?"
Wu Yi said arrogantly: "I said, since that's the case, then I will grant me a Duke Xingguo and give Huzhou to me as a fief. They didn't want to do it. I can't say that I can only take it down by myself."
ah!
What's going on?
Something is wrong with this guy!
Zhang Bingwen was stunned for a while, and then provoked: "Mr. Wu, aren't you clearly turning against them? What if they lead their troops to take revenge?"
Wu Yi smiled proudly and said, "Mr. Ma is in Hangzhou, so he shouldn't sit idly by, right?"
Are you trying to use us to grab territory!
Zhang Bingwen thought about it and said sarcastically: "This is hard to say. If you support King Lu with us, then you will naturally be easy to say."
This means that if you don’t agree to support Lu Wang, we will watch you be dealt with by the Zhejiang Party!
Wu Yi naturally expected this, and it would be strange if Ma Shiying would help him without any benefit.
He pretended to be greedy and said, "As long as you give me the title of Duke Xingguo to me, and inform the world, and assign Huzhou Prefecture to me as a fief, I will naturally follow you to support Duke Xingguo."
You are the one who is a good person, and you can give it all the benefits. We will give you the blame, and you will be very beautiful.
Zhang Bingwen thought about it, then shook his head slightly and said, "I'm afraid this is not possible. King Lu doesn't have a place in his palace yet. If we agree to assign Huzhou Prefecture to you, your territory will be greater than that of the emperor. If you have great achievements, you will suffer disaster, Lord Wu."
What kind of achievements shocks the master?
Ma Shiying was playing with the emperor to make the princes okay. What's wrong with me trying to make the fief?
Don’t you just want me to follow you to support King Lu, and then use some shameful means to swallow the Huzhou Prefecture in my hand?
Forget it, I won’t talk to you about this anymore.
These are just preparations. As long as you think that I and the Zhejiang Party are not in the same group, you can do it.
Wu Yi pretended to frown and ponder for a while, then said in a dark voice: "Why not do this? I pretend to match it out and ask Lord Ma and Fang Guoan and others to come to Huzhou Prefecture to negotiate. Then, we will take action directly and capture the heads of the Zhejiang Party in one go. In this way, the Zhejiang Party will be in the head without a leader, and we can easily take over the entire Zhejiang."
This is a typical rat!
If He Lun heard what he said, he would probably be so angry that he would use a knife to cut him.
Zhang Bingwen's eyes lit up after hearing this.
This is a good method!
If Zhejiang can really capture all the heads and minds of the Zhejiang Party in one go, Zhejiang will be at your fingertips!
He couldn't help asking, "Can you trick them?"
Wu Yi nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course, as long as Lord Ma agrees to come over for peace talks, I will naturally have a way to trick them."
Slowly, this guy is a little unreliable. What if he cleans up with Lord Ma, wouldn’t it be over!
Zhang Bingwen frowned and pondered for a while, then suggested: "Why don't we lead them to Deqing for talks? Gui'an is too far from the territory of the Zhejiang Party after all, if they dare not come, we will be in vain."
Deqing is only about a hundred miles away from Hangzhou, and their territory is already bordering Deqing. In other words, they can gather their troops to a place that is only about twenty miles away from Deqing to shock them.
Wu Yi has only more than 10,000 people under his command, so he must not dare to do anything in front of 50,000 people.
Wu Yi was certainly aware of what Zhang Bingwen meant. This guy set the venue of the peace talks to Deqing, just to set up 50,000 troops to scare him so that he would not dare to move rashly.
Hehe, do you think I have more than ten thousand people, right?
good!
Wu Yi pretended to hesitate for a moment, then gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay, then Deqing, when will Lord Ma be free?"
Does this guy have no other ideas?
Zhang Bingwen thought about it and then estimated: "It's time in three days, and Lord Ma should be free in three days."
Three days are enough.
Wu Yi nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, then I will tell Fang Guoan and the others that I will go to Deqing for a peace talk in three days."
It always feels something is wrong!
Zhang Bingwen confirmed again: "Can you really trick Fang Guoan and the others into Deqing in three days?"
Of course, they want to deal with you too!
Wu Yi still nodded without hesitation and said, "No problem, I can let them come even if I am Gui'an, let alone Deqing."
Zhang Bingwen didn't know that this guy was a cheater, and he didn't even tell the truth.
If you cheat on both sides, you must have the strength. If you don’t have the strength and cheat on both sides, you will offend both sides. Isn’t this asking for death?
He believed that as long as he arrived in Deqing, this guy would not be able to make any tricks. Since that is the case, what else can hesitate about?
Then I will meet Deqing in three days.
Chapter completed!
