Chapter 331: Jiaoxin
When the news of the civil strife and anti-thieves in Jiangnan Province reached Zheng Heng, even though Zheng Heng was once the Empress Dowager Zheng, even though she had lived two lifetimes, her face still showed a look of horror.
She stood up and asked Zhongfeng in disbelief: "What, the civil strife in Jiangnan Province, Shi Gao's rebellion, and the Nine Field Army?"
Jiangnan Province was the richest province in the Great Xuan Dynasty, and although there have been many natural and man-made disasters in the Great Xuan Dynasty in the past two years, Jiangnan Province has a rich foundation, and the number of displaced people there is the least among the ten major provinces.
Now, it is the homeless people who have risen up in Gangnam Province, and it is the other way around?
This is a rebellion, and the so-called Nine Fields Army was formed, this is not a riot on Guanghe Street, the meaning and impact of the two are definitely different!
Why did someone suddenly rebel? Who the hell is this Shi Gao? She had never heard of this person!
No, the focus now is not on Shi Gao, but on why the situation in Jiangnan Province has become like this, why there is a rebellion, and why there is no rumor!
"Little master, Shi Gao was originally a water bandit in the Fuchun River area, I heard that he is very righteous, and he has a group of brothers under his hands, as for why he was able to gather so many homeless people, and he also rose up, there is no more news now. In Gangnam Province, there is no manpower in Cuihua Pavilion, and now there is no more news from the DPRK and China except for this urgent report. ”
In fact, it is not easy for Zhongfeng to say these things.
The turmoil in Gangnam Province appeared too suddenly, too quickly, although now Cuihua Pavilion has immediately sent people to Gangnam Province.
It would take a day or two to send back the news, and all the news he knew now was from the imperial court.
"Zhongfeng, you go to Pei's house right now - the Pei family has a layout in Jiangnan Province, they will definitely know more news, and then report to me!" Zheng Heng commanded, so that Zhongfeng immediately rushed to Pei's house.
Zhongfeng immediately obeyed the order and flew out of Changjian Temple like a leaf, while Zheng Heng looked calm, no longer the slightest sleep, and calmly thought about the situation in Jiangnan Province in his mind.
Sudden turmoil, there are leaders and thieves, and they also form an army, which shows that these people are by no means temporary, maybe they have been prepared for a long time in secret, so there will be such a rapid situation.
Rebellion is not an easy thing, not many people have such courage, it is not enough to have courage, but also to have the ability to rebel.
Manpower, money, food and grass, and so on are indispensable.
According to what the urgent report said, the anti-thief Shi Gao occupied the area of the Fuchun River and confronted the Jiangnan Wei soldiers - those who can confront the Jiangnan Wei soldiers must be evenly matched, how can the water bandits and homeless people have such ability?
Even if someone rebels, in order to create such a situation, it is necessary to have sufficient preparations for rebellion. Preparations for rebellion do not happen overnight.
However, there was no rumor before, just like the one that appeared on the flat ground, is this possible?
Zheng Heng is a person who has personally experienced turmoil, and he knows too well what turmoil is, it must be that the lives of the people are miserable, and now there is turmoil in Jiangnan Province, what is going on?
She reached out and rubbed her brow, a deep worry welling up in her heart.
At this time, the Pei family, like Zheng Heng, felt extremely anxious about the situation in Jiangnan Province.
Pei Zai got the news of the turmoil in Gangnam Province earlier than Cuihua Pavilion, and it was almost the same as the emergency report of the imperial court.
Because, there are many secret agents in the Pei family in Jiangnan Province, and Pei Qian, the head of the third generation of Yanzhi, is also in Jiangnan Province, so the news is very well-informed.
But this information is very well-informed, and it is only relative.
After receiving the news, the people of the Pei family did not have any way to deal with it in advance because of the well-informed information, but were extremely shocked and worried.
The news sent by Pei Qian was similar to the urgent report of the imperial court, but it was more detailed.
Pei Qian said in his letter that it was about three days ago that he noticed that something was wrong with the situation in Jiangnan Province, and that the number of displaced people in Hangzhou Prefecture suddenly increased, and the exchanges between the big merchants and magnates were also very frequent, especially the salt merchants in the salt farm, who seemed to be planning something.
Because Pei Qian was investigating the situation of the Shengxue Salt Farm at that time, he was particularly concerned about the situation of the salt merchants, and after noticing these inappropriateness, he asked the Pei family's secret guard to find out what was going on.
But before the secret guards could find out anything, the turmoil in Jiangnan Province arose, and the first to appear in turmoil was the Hangzhou Mansion where Pei Qian, the center of Jiangnan Province and Pei Qian.
A large group of homeless people, under the leadership of water bandits and bandits, rushed into the Hangzhou Mansion, killed Jiang Yin, the assassin of Hangzhou, on the spot, and also killed the officials who resisted the Mansion, and then opened the granaries such as the Huimin Administration of the Hangzhou Mansion and occupied the Hangzhou Mansion.
When Pei Qian sent the news, the anti-thief Shi Gao had just taken the name of the Jiuye Army, and after learning of this name, Pei Qian realized that this was not just a homeless riot, but that Jiangnan Province was about to change.
He then hurriedly wrote a letter, describing the situation as much as possible, and asked the Pei family's secret guard to send the news to Jingzhao......
The urgent report in the army should have been delivered later than Pei Qian's news, but the speed of the national dynasty was of course faster than the speed of Pei's secret guards, so there was already a report in the urgent report that the thieves were stationed in the area of Fuchun River.
These are all the news that the Pei family knows, and it was the news from two or three days ago.
They don't know where the situation in Gangnam Province has progressed now.
In the face of the turbulent situation, even the imperial court could only wait for further news, and the Pei family had even less to do.
This does not mean that the Pei family can only wait like the imperial court, in fact, at this time, the Pei family is moving, and everyone is doing their best to deal with the situation in Jiangnan Province.
"The dark guard has already rushed to Jiangnan Province, and he will be able to arrive in Jiangnan Province the morning after tomorrow at the latest, and I will take Xiao Qian'er back to Jingzhao first. Pei Ding said this, his face pale from worry.
After knowing the turmoil in Jiangnan Province, he immediately asked the Pei family secret guard to go to Jiangnan Province, and also sent the drunken ones around him.
One is to listen to the news of Jiangnan Province, and the other is to take Pei Qian out of Jiangnan Province.
In Pei Ding's view, the latter is more important.
According to the secret guard who sent the letter, when he left Jiangnan Province, Young Master Sun was still in Hangzhou Mansion.
This made Pei Ding both anxious and puzzled.
The nine are the greatest, the dragon is in the opposition, the dynasty is called the army, and Xiao Qian'er is so smart, he must be very aware of the anti-meaning in this name.
Since he knew that Jiangnan Province had changed, and he also knew that Jiangnan Province was in turmoil, and he knew that he asked the secret guard to send the news, why did he stay in Hangzhou Mansion?
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and the little money should know that it is more important to save himself than anything else.
In times of turmoil, the least valuable and easiest thing to lose is human life, what was Xiao Qian'er thinking at that time, why didn't he leave with the dark guard?
The turmoil in Gangnam Province is so sudden, the situation in Gangnam Province is so critical, Xiao Qian'er is in Gangnam Province, what is happening now?
