An Bangyan had doubts in his mind.

The Ming army has been invading Guizhou Tusi for a day or two, and Zhou Dunji's blatant slaughter of the village is a deliberate attempt to provoke trouble.

He wants to make a big deal and then let the court send troops to suppress it?

Thinking of this, An Bangyan's mind gradually calmed down, and he sat there without saying a word.

I heard that the imperial court won a great victory in the Yiju area, has the situation in Liaodong stabilized?

If Liaodong has stabilized and the imperial court turns back to deal with the southwest, whether the two families of An and Hao can defeat the imperial army is still two words.

Or wait for extravagance to start first, depending on the situation.

After thinking for a while, An Bangyan made up his mind, smoothed out the crumpled paperwork, handed it over to his subordinates, and said:

"Reply to Xu Keqiu, I, An Bangyan, am not the unreasonable person, but the whole world has been plundered, and the words of the Xuanwei Division are terrifying, even I have to act cautiously."

"If the officers and soldiers don't give an explanation for this, it's really difficult to send troops!"

......

"Yufutai, Zhou Dunji, the secretary of the Chishui Weidu, led more than 1,000 officers and troops, and on the grounds that there were not many tribute horses, he led more than 1,000 officers and troops to rob the universal village of the Shuixian family!"

When this news reached his ears, Guizhou Governor Li Zheng only felt that his brain was buzzing.

"This Zhou Dunji, what is he going to do?"

Li Zong, a native of Zhejiang, was a scholar in the 29th year of Wanli, and successively served as the secretary of the Guangdong Salt Law, the senator of Shandong, and the deputy envoy of Shaanxi University.

In the forty-eighth year of Wanli, he was the governor of Guizhou with the imperial history of the right capital, and was also in charge of local government affairs and military affairs such as eastern Sichuan.

Previously, Liaodong was rampant, and the cabinet planned to requisition the Ming army from the southwestern provinces to aid Liao.

Since then, Li Zhen has felt that things are strange.

A few days ago, Zhu Youxiao's secret edict was sent to Sichuan and Guizhou provinces, and Li Zheng immediately refused An Bangyan to lead his troops into Guiyang City, and ordered him to return to Nawei Guanzhai to wait.

"Nowadays, the Tusi and the fields of the guard are seriously merged with each other, and the armament of the guard is slack, and the situation is not optimistic..."

When Li Zheng frowned and looked at the Tang Bao, Shi Yongan, the inspector of the imperial history, also sighed and said.

Hearing this, Li Zheng put down the Tang Bao, and his breath was still calm.

"How many soldiers are there in Guiyang City?"

Shi Yongan frowned and said:

"The pacesetters, the people's bravery, the government service, and the guards are all counted, less than 3,000 people, this number, once the Shuixian family has a rebellion, Guiyang is in danger..."

In fact, as early as last year, Li Zheng had already discovered that the An family had objections, and repeatedly indicated to the imperial court that the situation was urgent, but the position of the first assistant to the cabinet at that time was undecided and did not reply.

The imperial court is deeply involved in Liao affairs and party disputes, and until now, this note has been piled up in old sparseness, and Zhu Youxiao has never seen it.

After that, Li Zheng went up again, asking for an increase in Guizhou's food and salary to boost the armament.

However, before the food arrived, he was impeached by Gao Panlong, who was still in charge of the imperial history of Zuodu, for corruption and perversion of the law.

Immediately, Li Zong, who was deeply trapped in the whirlpool of public opinion, resigned.

The cabinet acted quickly this time, and Ye, who had taken office as the first assistant, decided to allow him to leave his post and take Wang Sanshan, a member of the Donglin Party, as the governor.

Wang Sanshan has not yet arrived to handle the handover of duties, and Li Zheng is still temporarily in charge of Guizhou, but at this time, there was a massacre of the Chishui Guards.

Li Zheng felt uncomfortable in his heart, this matter is together, I am afraid that the court should compete for impeachment against him, and it will be difficult to get out!

However, at present, his top priority is to stabilize the situation in Guizhou.

"From today onwards, close the gates of Guiyang City and recruit new troops."

Listening to Li Zong's words, Shi Yongan smiled bitterly and said, "How can there be any food and salary to recruit the army..."

"My Lord Futai! If you look around, even the food and salaries of more than 2,000 people have been in arrears for several months! ”

"Please play the grain and slack the high cabinet, the court can't save the fire from far away, and the situation is not optimistic!"

Li Zhen thought about it for a long time and made a decision.

"Quickly send people out of Guizhou and borrow 100,000 taels of silver from Yunnan and Huguang to recruit troops and store grain.

As he spoke, Li Zheng sneered a few times.

"It's ridiculous that Xu Keqiu, the governor of Sichuan, received the emperor's secret edict, and even hit An Bangyan's head with his thoughts."

"He borrowed troops from Shui's Anjia to defend Chongqing, and his wishful thinking was so good!"

"In this way, the emperor's secret edict to guard against the rebellion of the two families is equivalent to telling Yu Chongming to know!"

"Yongning's extravagant family is the opposite, I'm afraid it's just these days."

Shi Yongan still didn't expect it to be so long-term, and when he heard this, he also got up in shock, paced back and forth, and said after a while:

"There has been a great drought in Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places for many years, and the crops have not been harvested.

"In the chaos in the southwest, the imperial court must requisition troops and horses from all provinces to encircle and suppress, and then the Central Plains official army will be empty.

"The soldiers in Jiangnan can be adjusted, they can only be transferred from Shandong!"

Li Zhen sneered.

"Recently, the White Lotus Demon Sect in Shandong has bewitched the hearts of the people, even more so than my Guizhou! After Yuan Keli took office as Denglai, although his outlook has improved, how can he move lightly when he is overwhelmed by heavy ammunition? ”

As soon as the two of them analyzed this, they suddenly became more and more frightened, and they both felt that they couldn't continue to think nonsense.

Li Zheng patted the case and said: "According to what I said, send people to Yunnan and Huguang to borrow as much as you can!" ”

"I don't care what Xu Keqiu plans to do in Sichuan, as long as I am still in any day, this Guiyang City must erect the banner of the Ming Dynasty!"

......

As soon as the news of the loan spread to Yunnan and Huguang, local officials held a small meeting.

Borrowing silver?

If you open your mouth, you will borrow 100,000 taels, why don't you think about it, our own food and salary are almost unaffordable, where can we get you such a silver to help you in an emergency.

Yes, we all know that you Guizhou Toast has contradictions, and it is not easy to settle down, but you can't open your mouth so much.

In the end, if you don't have any money, you won't give it!

In the end, it was Lu Qin, the governor of the southwest, who allocated some of the military salaries issued by the imperial court to Guizhou.

Not much, only 40,000 taels.

After getting the silver, Li Zheng and Shi Yongan immediately began to purge the armaments in a drastic way, and first repaid the food and salaries of the Weiming soldiers in Guizhou who had been in arrears for several months to boost the morale of the army.

He also recruited more than 4,000 soldiers, purchased 20,000 stones of rice, collected the Han people into the city in advance, and stored the war and defense equipment, all of which were stored in Guiyang City to prevent the Xi'an family from suddenly rebelling.

At this time, the number of Ming troops in Guiyang City had reached 7,000 people, and the Ming troops were transferred into the city, gradually approaching 10,000 people.

Li Zheng sent new equipment to clean up the Ming army, but then bad news came.

But it was Yu Chongming, who was blocked outside Chongqing, who first led the luxury army to rebel and besiege Chongqing.

Within a few days, the Governor of the Southwest, Lu Qin, gathered a large army of 120,000 men from all provinces, divided into six routes, and marched in unison.

Due to the timely decree of Zhu Youxiao, at the beginning of the rebellion of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army was already led by a general and strategically surrounded the rebels outside Chongqing.

A few days later, Lu Qin's military order was also transmitted to Guiyang.

He ordered Zhang Yanfang, the chief soldier of Guiyang, and Xu Chengming, the chief of the capital, to lead their troops to aid Chongqing first to solve the urgent need.

Although Li Zheng had the heart to refuse, it was useless for him to say much about the governor's orders.

As for the two generals, Zhang Yanfang and Xu Chengming, after receiving the military order, they did not hesitate, that is, they led 3,000 men and horses from their headquarters to Guiyang and entered Sichuan as the vanguard army from Zunyi and Suiyang.
